Rebirth of the Flying Era

 Chapter 1304 The intricate Nanyang

 “Baron Wilson of Nantes County?” Vincent looked surprised: “Why should we replace him?”

Dai Zhilin also frowned.

 Because Baron Wilson is a well-known hawk among the nobility, he advocates tough foreign policy, safeguarding the authority of the United Kingdom, and restoring its former glory and status.

Of course, everyone knows that if you listen to these words, then forget it. Any authority, glory, and status are no longer related to Yingguo. What is left is just a fig leaf that you are unwilling to take off.

 But the sudden change of the originally scheduled Mai Li number to Wilson is also worth pondering.

Dai Zhilin said: "Does Huan Dun intend to regain a tough attitude in the Far East?"

Vincent sneered: "Toughness~ Why are they being tough? A bunch of old guys who are still living in a dream, do they really think it's still 1840?"

Dai Zhilin was silent. His thoughts were the same as Vincent's, but he also knew that some people in Huandun still couldn't figure out the real situation in the East.

 They only know how to talk loudly in the luxuriously decorated hall all day long, opposing this and that.

Then Vincent's eyes flashed, and he showed a bit of joy: "Uncle, you said...if Wilson messes up..."

Dai Zhilin glanced at him and said calmly: "If he messes up, it will only consume the last bit of the empire's foundation and let more people see our weakness. That will not only cost him, but every Yingguo person." ."

 Vincent knew that he had said the wrong thing, so he lowered his head slightly and said "Sorry".

Dai Zhilin sighed: "Vincent, maybe you have been in the East for too long, and you have forgotten that you are a British noble."

Vincent's mouth twitched, but he couldn't hold it back anymore and retorted: "The Yingren nobles were almost driven to death by those people! That traitor Qiu Jier, countless nobles were fighting on the front line, but he was bleeding us in the back. How many real nobles are there now? After losing the rights of the nobles, losing the land of the nobles, losing the influence of the nobles, what is a nobleman with only one name?"

Dai Zhilin was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect his nephew's reaction to be so big.

 But he couldn't say anything, because everything Vincent said was right.

 WWII not only destroyed the Third Reich, but also eliminated the last aristocratic elite in Britain.

The person who caused all this was the man who was touted as a hero, Lord Winston Leonard Spencer Churchill.

At this time, Vincent said viciously: "Thank God, this traitor gave birth to a stupid son. I really hope he can live for three more years and see his son die in front of him."

 Dai Zhilin frowned and finally said: "Okay, Vincent, this is not what a noble should say. Pay attention to your upbringing."

Vincent apologized: "Sorry uncle~ But Wilson becoming the governor-elect is not necessarily a bad thing, at least for us. Do you think I can tell Du the news?"

Dai Zhilin thought for a while and said: "You can tell him that this is not a secret, and also remind him of Wilson's relationship with the Slater family."

 Vincent nodded: "I understand."

 …

 On the other hand, it is far away in Shanbei.

Li Yuanchao's face was a little ugly. He had just received another piece of bad news. A material base in Bangladesh was bombed by Indian aircraft.

 There is a lot of equipment and ammunition stored here, mainly bullets and artillery shells.

"Their plane must be contained!" Li Yuanchao said in a deep voice, then turned to look at Hu Bayi next to him: "What did the family say?"

Now Hu Bayi has been transferred to Li Yuanchao's side and has become the chief of staff. He is regarded as the second-ranking figure in the entire Shanbei Army.

 Hash to say it or not, some people’s talents are simply unstoppable.

This is the case for Hu Bayi. Even though he came abroad early, did not become a gold medal captain, and changed a track, he was still prosperous.

"Let us find a way ourselves. The planes cannot come directly, but they can support some fighter planes. The pilots will be volunteers. However, the temporary airport here is not good and cannot take off and land jet fighters." Hu Bayi answered in a straight tone.

Li Yuanchao said "Hmm". The result was almost as he expected, and asked again: "How many aircraft can be supported?"

Hu Bayiyi: "20 J-6s, and 5 of the latest J-7s."

Li Yuanchao raised his eyebrows: "And there are J-7s?"

　　Hu Badi: “I didn’t expect it either.”

Li Yuanchao nodded and pondered slightly: "Negotiate with Bangladesh to ask for their right to use the airport."

Hu Bayi responded, but worried: "If they don't agree..."

Li Yuanchao was very decisive: "If we don't agree, we will withdraw and let them fight with the Indus on their own. In addition, send electricity to Ailul and ask them to move on the southern front. If we continue to stand still and they are attacked, we will no longer fulfill our obligations." obligation."

At this moment, Hu Lin knocked on the door several times and came in.

 “Lao Hu?” Li Yuanchao was slightly surprised.

Hu Bayi also said hello. He and Hu Lin were relatives. Through this relationship, the two of them got closer under Li Yuanchao's command.

Hu Lin entered the room and said: "Commander-in-Chief, someone came to my place just now..."

Li Yuanchao frowned a little when he heard this.

 It turned out that someone claimed to be Xindila's secret envoy and hoped to have an interview with Li Yuanchao.

 In fact, this situation is not new. The two sides have communicated with each other through emissaries before, and they can even communicate directly through foreign teachers.

But obviously Xindila did not want to use those channels this time and sent people over secretly to show that it was more private.

Li Yuanchao was a little curious as to what purpose Xin Dila had and what kind of chips he could get in exchange.

Logically speaking, Xindila’s biggest priority now is to consolidate its rights.

  But her series of performances are not in line with this goal, and it feels quite strange.

Li Yuanchao thought for a while and said, "Then let's meet her and see what she has to say."

 …

 At the other end, Du Fei had already left Xiangjiang by plane.

 Looking at the map of Nanyang on the plane, I kept thinking about it.

What exactly is Subian planning? But he never had a clue, so he simply gave up thinking. He put down the map and looked out the window.

The piston engine makes a "chug, chug" sound, and below is the endless sea, with clouds occasionally passing by...

Du Fei couldn't help but think of Zhu Li and Wang Yufen, as well as the two children he had never met officially, which made him a little more anxious.

Unconsciously, the plane finally arrived at Kuching Airport.

 Different from the last time I came here, a brand new concrete airstrip is being built next to it.

Since we are going to build industry, the infrastructure must be built first, otherwise how can we develop it.

Currently, Kuching's wharf and airport are being renovated and expanded, and two railways are also planned, one going east to Bandar Seri Bega and one going south to Pontianak.

Du Fei got off the plane and flexed his hands and feet.

 Julie arrived early in the morning, and a motorcade was parked beside the runway of the airport.

Logically speaking, cars cannot be driven into the airport, but it is Her Majesty the Queen's car.

Julie was sitting in the car with the cold wind on. When she saw the plane stopped and got out of the car, she held the child and walked quickly towards Du Fei.

Du Fei saw her and rushed to meet her.

"I'm sorry~" Du Fei came to him. Although he had a spiritual connection, he was still thousands of miles away.

Du Fei knew that it was not easy for Julie. It was not easy to live and take care of herself alone, even if she was a queen and had the best conditions.

Julie's eyes were red, but at this moment, little Zhengping in her arms suddenly let out a "wow".

Both of them were startled. Julie hurriedly cried softly, but the child cried louder and louder.

Du Fei said: "Give me a hug~"

 Julie said "hmm" and handed it over.

I don’t know if father and son are connected. Xiao Zhengping was hugged by Du Fei, and Xiao Zhengping cried immediately.

 “Let daddy hold me~” Du Fei muttered and shook his head twice, then he stopped crying completely, and kept looking at Du Fei with his **** eyes.

Probably it’s the relationship between Zhu Li and Zhu Ting. The two children look very similar. It’s a bit exaggerated to say they are twins, but it’s easy to tell that they are brothers.

"Let Dad kiss him~" Du Fei was happy when he saw the second child. He went up and kissed the child's head.

Xiao Zhengping immediately chuckled.

Julie looked on, smiled slightly, and reminded: "Don't bask in the sun, get in the car and go home."

When they got to the car, Du Fei was still holding the child, and Zhu Li was sitting next to him, saying: "You will stay with me tonight. Let's go see Wang Yufen tomorrow~"

Du Fei said "Hmm": "How is she doing there?"

 Normally Du Fei does not ask about Wang Yufen's situation at Zhu Li's side.

Zhu Li said: "It's good. There are several people in her natal family, and now they are in the same group as Teacher Chen."

 Du Fei nodded, he had arranged this in advance, with Zhu Li as the core of the Queen's faction, and Chen Fangshi as the core of the Prime Minister's faction.

  Return to Julie’s villa in the suburbs from the airport.

 Since giving birth to the child, Julie no longer lives in the original palace.

 First of all, I'm not sure whether there are unknown secret passages there, and secondly, life in that palace is really inconvenient.

Although the original king was white, he was a believer. The interior decoration style and living facilities were not suitable.

 Julie plans to open the museum to the public like the Forbidden City and charge admission tickets in the near future.

 She herself lives with her children in a villa in the suburbs.

The team returned home. Xiao Zhengping fell asleep not long after, and Chen Fangshi also came after another twenty minutes.

As soon as he met Chen Fangshi, he beamed and said, "I've heard that ultra-long-range bombers can carry mushroom bombs. It's really... amazing, amazing!"

 At the end, Chen Fangshi didn’t know how to describe it.

Du Fei smiled and gave him a bear hug. Chen Fangshi was a little thinner than in Xiangjiang. After all, he was in charge of a country, with many things going on inside and outside.

No matter how capable you are, you will still feel stretched and spend a lot of energy.

 After briefly reminiscing about old times, we finally got to the main topic.

Chen Fangshi was very formal and handed some reports to Du Fei. At the same time, he explained: "Currently, the new industrial zone in Kuching has begun to take shape. The shipyard relocated from the UK has been put into production. There are currently three cargo ships on the slipway. One ship is 8,000 tons, and two ships are 6,000 tons. The industrial zone is already preparing to build a second power plant. If all goes well, the total power generation capacity can be doubled in one year at most..."

Du Fei listened and watched at the same time. Power generation is the foundation of all industries. Without electricity, there would be no manufacturing industry in modern times.

 After hearing the basic situation, Du Fei asked about the situation of the electrical appliance factory.

 According to Du Fei's plan, the production of various home appliances using domestically produced parts and components is the primary development project.

  It can be said that it started with relatively simple radios, electric fans, refrigerators and air conditioners.

Especially for air conditioning, once it is rolled out in tropical areas, it will become a necessity once people realize the benefits.

This market must be captured, but now due to power generation problems, only a few large cities in Southeast Asia can install air conditioners.

Chen Fangshi knew Du Fei's plan and was particularly concerned about the electrical appliance factory. He specially sent people from Japan to recruit people, from product managers to designers, to design finished products based on existing components.

According to Du Fei's original words, the quality can be slightly worse, but the appearance design must be eye-catching. No one points to a radio and listens to it for a lifetime.

 …

 After reading Chen Fangshi’s report, Du Fei was quite satisfied.

 A large amount of funds have been obtained from the temples in Kerala, and Sarawak is currently developing quite well.

 In reality, as long as you have money, most things can be solved.

Last time, Du Fei appointed Chen Fangshi as Prime Minister. It seems that he made the right move.

 Chen Fangshi did not disappoint him.

However, Du Fei didn't expect that after talking about these things, Chen Fangshi suddenly raised a big question.

Chen Fangshi's expression was serious. He looked at Zhu Li and then looked at Du Fei: "There is a very sensitive issue now..." Du Fei frowned slightly, rarely seeing Chen Fangshi's attitude.

 “What’s the matter, tell me~” Du Fei was very busy.

Chen Fangshi said: "The so-called name is not justified and the words are not justified. We cannot continue to be in this situation for a long time."

Du Fei understood what he meant as soon as he heard it.

 Sarawak joined Malay before, but now it is independent and must rename itself.

Du Fei asked Chen Fangshi what he thought.

Chen Fangshi said: "If you ask me, just change the country's name and apply to join the joint effect."

Du Fei nodded: "You take care of this matter. As for the country's name..." After thinking about it, he said: "It's not appropriate to call it Sarawak anymore... Let's just call it Song. As an official title, Sarawak can be used in the Commonwealth. The English spelling makes it easier for us to do trade.”

Chen Fangshi did not expect that Du Fei would turn the Kingdom of Sarawak into the Kingdom of Song so casually.

But it seems pretty good. When the Southern Song Dynasty fell, legend has it that some clan members fled to Nanyang. Luzon is said to be related to this.

 Now it is easier to unite the hearts of Nanyang flower people by directly changing the name of the country to Song Dynasty.

 Chen Fangshi didn't know that Du Fei was going to change the country's name even if he didn't say anything about it.

 Once Lin Tiansheng’s population plan begins, Du Fei will inevitably follow up.

  Otherwise, when Lin Tiansheng brings in a large number of people, it will be embarrassing for Du Fei to maintain the current situation.

 To implement a population plan, explain to people in the country, who knows where Sarawak is?

It would be much easier to accept if it were replaced by "Song". It can be assumed that it was a country established in Nanyang by the remnants of the Southern Song Dynasty. At least it would make people less resistant psychologically.

 After talking about this, Du Fei discussed the situation with Lin Tiansheng with Chen Fangshi.

 Chen Fangshi also did not shy away from saying that there has been something strange happening in Nanyang recently, and many people have been secretly contacting him. Not only Subian's seal, but also Malay and Li Jiapo are unusual.

Hearing Chen Fangshi’s judgment, Du Fei became more and more certain that something big was going to happen.

I just don’t know what Lin Tiansheng discovered there.

Du Fei thought for a while and said: "Since Li Jiapo is also involved, we simply alert the enemy and send people directly to Li Jiapo to ask them what they are doing in close contact with Subian?"

Chen Fangshi thought: "Are you going to take the opportunity to force Li Jiapo and see what they are thinking?"

Du Fei chuckled and said: "Isn't their intention obvious? It doesn't matter, a group of brainwashed colonists have long denied their own nation and civilization, and believe that only total Westernization is the way out."

Chen Fangshi was silent. Although Du Fei's words were harsh, they were also true.

And this situation is not limited to Li Jiapo, but also common among flower people in Nanyang.

Probably Lin Tiansheng also discovered this situation, and it was difficult to change. So he had no choice but to make up his mind to replenish the population from within the country, completely diluting the proportion of these people.

"As for Li Jiapo, I will arrange for someone to go there immediately." Chen Fangshi took out his notebook and recorded it.

Du Fei added: "One more thing is the military expansion plan..."

Chen Fangshi was stunned and said in surprise: "You want to expand the army?"

Du Fei said in a deep voice: "Wealth is touching people's hearts. We got so many gold treasures in Kerala before. This kind of thing cannot be contained in paper. If it is leaked..."

Chen Fangshi frowned, although he felt that Du Fei was a little unfounded, after all, the Song Dynasty was also a country.

However, he knew the propriety of doing things. Du Fei got the money anyway, and it was Du Fei who decided how he wanted to spend it now.

Besides, with two billion U.S. dollars in treasure, it is appropriate to invest part of it in the army.

 There is another point that Du Fei and Chen Fangshi didn't say, but they knew it tacitly.

 Lin Tiansheng has clearly stated in the plan submitted to the country that the next step will be to actively expand the army.

It's not that Du Fei has any thoughts about Lin Tiansheng, but everything must be based on strength.

 If the strength is not good, just talking about friendship will hurt the friendship. Only when the strength is enough, the friendship will be more useful and longer-lasting.

Du Fei must ensure that Song and Lin Tiansheng maintain a rough balance of power.

Only in this way can the two countries obtain equal status when they carve up the island of Kalimantan in the future.

 Speaking of this, Chen Fangshi thought of another thing and frowned: "Speaking of which, the Nanyang Lin family has been somewhat suspicious recently~"

Du Fei couldn't help but frown.

The situation of the Nanyang Lin family is quite special. When Lin Tiansheng first arrived, in order to stabilize the situation and win over the influence of the Nanyang flower people, he became a member of the Nanyang Lin family.

The Nanyang Lin family moved from Java Island to Kalimantan for development. The relationship between the two parties had always been good before.

Du Fei asked "What's going on?"

Chen Fangshi said in a deep voice: "Our two families are next to each other. The Nanyang Lin family has a lot of business here. Recently, some people from the Lin family have secretly been in close contact with the Huang family in Li Jiapo. They nominally collaborated on a project, but in fact it is an empty shell. There is no three hundred taels of silver here."

Du Fei became alert and thought silently.

Even the Nanyang Lin family got involved?

Logically speaking, Lin Tiansheng has already given many benefits to the Nanyang Lin family. What else do they want?

  Could it be possible to obtain more benefits than this by cooperating with outsiders?

 They were still naive and thought they could squeeze Lin Tiansheng away and sit in that position themselves.

It seems that the old saying is true, dog meat cannot stick to a sheep. Although two forests cannot be written in one stroke, the two parties are not one family after all.

 The two sides seem to be incompatible with each other, and the attitude towards Lin Tiansheng within the Nanyang Lin family has always been inconsistent.

There are always people who feel from the bottom of their hearts that Nanyang should belong to the foreign people. The risk of cooperating with Lin Tiansheng here is too high and it is not in the interests of the Nanyang Lin family.

 For these people, Du Fei could only say that he was angry and would not argue with them.

　　Being stern and shy when dealing with compatriots, bowing and bowing when dealing with foreigners.

They looked down on Du Fei and Lin Tiansheng from the bottom of their hearts, but they were too frightened by the other party's force to dare to make any mistakes. They were even more worried that Lin Tiansheng would kill them.

With this kind of mentality, it is inevitable that some people will make mistakes.

Du Fei was not sure whether Lin Tiansheng was aware of this situation, but he estimated that with Lin Tiansheng's keenness, he should have noticed it.

Du Fei couldn't help but react.

 The previous population plan did not necessarily target the local indigenous people. It was probably to dilute the proportion of Nanyang flower people, create a larger dye vat, and dye them back...

 In the evening, Chen Fangshi was invited to have dinner before leaving.

　　Then Du Fei and Julie ran to the bed for a more in-depth communication.

 Julie was originally a "white tiger" and became stronger than before after giving birth.

 Fortunately, Du Fei had been recuperating his energy these past few days, so he didn't show any fear on the spot.

 At the end, Julie let out a sigh of relief.

Although I was tired, I felt that my whole body was lightened.

Lying on Du Fei's arm, he whispered like a cat: "What did Xiaoting say to you before you came this time?"

Du Fei didn't know why she asked this, but he didn't hide it: "Let me accompany you well. It's not easy to talk to you."

  Zhu Li seemed not to expect that Zhu Ting would say this, and was silent for a long time.

Du Fei lowered his head again and found that her tears had already flowed out. He avoided Du Fei's eyes and said, "I, the sister, am sorry for her. I really..."

Du Fei sighed secretly, stretched out his hand and spanked her **** the butt.

 Suddenly trembled.

 Julie was in pain, and when she heard an oops, her feelings of self-pity were dissipated.

Julie glared at him, then smiled again: "Forget it, I have wine today and I'll be drunk today. I'll worry about tomorrow~"

 …

Meanwhile, inside a mansion in the heart of Kuching.

 In a study room decorated in Chinese style, two old men sat opposite each other with serious expressions.

These two people are important figures in the Nanyang Lin family in Kuching, and they are also the most active opponents of Lin Tiansheng. They did not want to stay in Pontianak, so they came to Kuching.

One of them, an old man with a goatee, about sixty years old, sipped tea with a deep look in his eyes: "That person went to a palace in the suburbs?"

The other person was slightly younger, probably in his fifties. He did not touch the teacup in front of him and nodded: "Yeah~ Then Chen Fangshi also went and didn't leave until the evening. Du Fei didn't come out."

The old man with the goatee snorted contemptuously, as if to say that I had known that they had such a dirty relationship.

The Nanyang Lin family knew about Du Fei early on, but they didn't know the true relationship between Du Fei and Zhu Li. They didn't know that Du Fei was the real owner. They only thought that Du Fei was the representative of Huaguo, cooperating with Zhu Li and the Meguo people, and working together in Sri Lanka. Baga runs an oil company.

 So, when they learned that Du Fei had arrived in Kuching, they took it very seriously but not that much. They mentioned it and then turned to other topics.

The old man with the goatee said: "Keeping an eye on that woman, Huandun suspects that she is just a stand-in. The real Winnie Slater is probably dead."

 The other person frowned: "Dead? You mean, the one now... is pretending!"

The old man with the goatee said "hmm", but did not take this matter to heart: "This is not important, we can help keep an eye on it. As for whether it is true or false, it has nothing to do with us, but it is Li Jiapo, you have to follow closely Now! We must seize this opportunity and squeeze Lin Tiansheng away."

 The other person pursed his lips: "I understand, I'm just a little worried. That boy is not an ordinary person. What if..."

The old man with the goatee didn't wait for him to finish speaking, and said self-righteously: "There is no such thing as a chance. Although he is very powerful, what is his place? This is Nanyang, and he is Han Xin. Can he really fly here? Besides, as long as there are beautiful fruits and British fruits, Support, do we need to be afraid of those mud-legged people?"

 The other person nodded, but still worried.

　　The shadow of a famous tree, Father Lin’s fame is really too great.

Coupled with last year's war, just being in Chengdu put tremendous pressure on Xinde Li. Some newspapers even said that he alone contained 200,000 Indian troops.

The old man with the goatee saw this and explained: "Besides, we didn't kill Lin Tiansheng, we just squeezed him away. It's because of his incompetence. Who can blame him for not being able to hold the territory? It's not like this. Let’s go to war~”

 …

 At the same time, Lijiapo, hundreds of kilometers away.

 After these two years, Li Jiapo has changed a lot since the last time Du Fei came.

After the Yingguo people left, Li Jiapo defected to the Meiguo people and reaped the dividends of the South Vietnam War, which made Li Jiapo develop rapidly in the past two years.

At the door of a fago restaurant, a well-dressed middle-aged white man got out of the car, opened the door and walked in.

 “Dingling bell~”

The metal bell hanging on the door rang, and the waiter immediately came to greet him.

 The middle-aged man looked at the store and politely asked for a Mr. Li.

The waiter immediately bowed: "Please go upstairs, Mr. Li is on the second floor..."

The middle-aged man took out a New Zealand dollar note from his pocket and handed it over. He then stepped up to the second floor and was led by the waiter to a private room.

“Mr. Li~” The middle-aged white man smiled and reached out his hand when he saw the person he was looking for.

The ‘Mr. Li’ who came here in advance was Li Jing who went to Kuching to meet Zhu Li last time.

 Less than two years later, Li Jing looks older than before, which shows that he has devoted all his efforts to Li Jiapo.

The two shook hands, and Li Jing said respectfully: "Mr. Rockefeller, I have heard of your name for a long time. It is a great honor to meet you today."

 Li Jing’s English is very good, and he speaks it better than those Meguo people and Yingo people with accents.

 The middle-aged white man was also very polite: "Mr. Li, just call me Haide..."

After exchanging pleasantries, the two of them sat down, but they did not talk about business. They were obviously still waiting for someone.

 About five minutes later, another tall white man came.

 Hyde Rockefeller got to know the other party, stood up with a smile and said: "Your Excellency, Baron, long time no see."

 Speaking, he went up to hug me.

Li Jing also stood up and said: "Sir Wilson, it's an honor for you to come."

This man, who is 1.9 meters tall, with a big belly and gray hair, is the governor-designate Baron Wilson mentioned by Dai Zhilin and Vincent before.
