Rebirth of the Flying Era

Seeing the newspaper on the table, the old man sitting in the large chair suddenly frowned, his eyes as sharp as knives, and asked: "What's going on?"

Mahathir also saw the newspaper, the front page headline of which was the news of the Riau Islands joining the federation.

It is the most influential newspaper in Jilongpo. I couldn’t help but wonder: “What do people from the New Post Office do? Doesn’t this kind of thing need to be reviewed?”

The old man calmed down instead. It was useless to pursue all these matters now, even if he stopped the newspaper immediately, it would be useless.

The news has spread, and people's emotions have been aroused. Now, if we try to hide it, we are trying to conceal it.

 In fact, this is no wonder. Originally, the Riau Islands were closer to Malay, and geographically speaking, they should be Malay territory.

However, due to historical reasons caused by the colonists, it belongs to India, and now being able to come back makes the Malays very excited.

Facing the independence of Sarawak before, Jilongpo showed weakness and powerlessness, which greatly disappointed the people. This time there is finally something exciting, which makes people feel quite uplifted.

Facing this situation, there is no way to refute the rumors, otherwise you will be scolded to death.

“Sir, what should we do?” Mahathir asked cautiously.

The old man's eyes were micron, he leaned back on the chair, thought for a while and said: "Don't respond now, wait and see."

Mahathir nodded to show that he understood, but felt a little disdainful in his heart. What kind of response was this? It was just like an ostrich and could not solve the problem at all.

 But he hid it very well and did not show it at all.

 …

 Another place, in an inconspicuous small hotel.

Ma Sangu and Ma San's uncle were packing their things quickly. Just ten minutes later, they each checked out and left with a small suitcase. They took a rickshaw to the bus station and took the bus south to Lijiapo.

The fact that this piece of news suddenly appeared in the newspaper today is due to the two of them.

 Just after they left, about two hours.

The hotel room they stayed in before was violently knocked open. With a bang, the door panel flew out, and a cloud of dust rose up from the trembling door frame, but the room was already empty.

A group of uniforms rushed in with submachine guns, but they missed everything.

The leader, the young man who just kicked open the door, had a sinister face and cold eyes. He glanced at the room and turned around to leave.

 Malaysia is a country after all, and there must be some masters in the country.

With just one look, the young man determined the whereabouts of Ma Sangu and his wife. He quickly returned downstairs and headed straight to the bus station.

 It's a pity that it's too late after all. The long-distance car between Ma Sangu and his wife has already left for more than an hour...

However, it cannot be said that there is nothing gained from coming to Malaysia.

 At least they can be sure that the Riau Islands incident is being secretly planned and advanced.

 This makes Jilongpo’s decision-making more cautious.

On the other side, although the loopholes on the Huang family's side were blocked in advance, Subian still inevitably fell into crisis in the face of Lin Tiansheng's vigorous actions.

 Paper cannot contain fire.

Besides, Lin Tiansheng was not a quiet person. He showed off his carriage and horses in a big way and challenged Subian across the Java Sea.

Such a big movement immediately attracted the attention of interested people, such as those local powerful people on the island of Sumatra.

 Although they completed a series of interest exchanges with Subian and submitted to the management of Yajiada, under this situation, some people could no longer bear it and began to make moves.

They even sent envoys secretly to contact Lin Tiansheng secretly.

In this case, once Sumatra and Lin Tiansheng reach an agreement, Subian will definitely fall into an even more embarrassing situation.

 And he would never allow this.

 But he couldn't take the initiative yet. Sumatra had to find ways to appease him, and there was nothing he could do about Lin Tiansheng.

It's just that Subian can still persist at this time, he is not at the end of his rope yet.

Although the island of Java is small compared to Kalimantan and Sumatra, it is the essence of India.

 As long as we hold on to this place and have Subian's orthodox status, we can take the initiative.

 …

  In Kuching, Du Fei has made no new moves since returning from Pontianak. He just sits back and watches the storm and enjoys his family.

Up to this point, Lin Tiansheng and Wei Chenggong had achieved their expected goals, but Subian still did not submit.

In Julie's villa, Du Fei got up early in the morning and was eating breakfast made by Julie. The preserved egg and lean meat porridge had a special fragrance, and it was particularly refreshing to eat it with pickles.

As soon as Du Fei drank a bowl, Julie went to fill it up again, put the porridge bowl in front of him, sat down next to him and said, "Is there any movement over there at Yajiada?"

Du Fei said "Hmm" without taking the spoon. He directly picked up the bowl and took a sip along the edge of the bowl: "Unless he has to, I'm afraid he won't be able to remember us."

Julie frowned slightly, and there was always a feeling that this time might not be so smooth, so she reminded: "Then should we remind him?"

Du Fei thought for a moment and said, "That's right. I'll send a telegram to Surabaya in your name later. Just write something casually, and then reveal the news to Subian to make him suspicious."

Julie nodded immediately. She couldn't explain this kind of thing even if she wanted to. Not to mention that the Huang family and Subian in Surabaya were just using each other. Even if the two sides formed a true and sincere alliance, facing this kind of trick, they would inevitably have secret doubts.

It’s just that this kind of strategy often only makes people suspicious and rarely produces immediate consequences.

 Unless there is a weakness of character, there are very few examples like Cao Cao simply killing Cai Mao and Zhang Yun.

So Du Fei didn't expect to cause any problems by doing this, just to make Subian feel more pressure. By the way, he remembered that there was Du Fei.

The telegram was sent very quickly, and Surabaya received it soon.

 Sishui, the headquarters of the Huang family.

At present, Huang Yunzhong is still in power in the Huang family, and his two sons, Huang Delu and Huang Debiao, control most of the Huang family's troops respectively.

 The only one who can compete with Huang Yunzhong and his son is the old school of the Huang family headed by the fifth uncle.

 The two parties are relatively harmonious on the surface, but privately the conflicts are not small.

 Especially the attitude towards Subian in the west.

The young faction headed by Huang Delu and Huang Debiao hope to concentrate their efforts on attacking Yajiada and completely occupy Jiawa Island.

The old faction of the clan believes that we should continue to conserve our strength at present. Subian still has more than 20,000 elites in his hands. It is not known who will win or lose in a real fight, but it is certain that even if he wins, it will be a tragic defeat.

 What will the Huang family do to suppress other big families? If Lin Tiansheng really crosses the sea, how can he resist?

 These series of issues have caused great divisions within the Huang family.

 At this time, because of a telegram from Du Fei, the top brass of the Huang family gathered together again.

Several people circulated this useless telegram, and they were all a little confused.

Huang Debiao had the most irritable temper. He slapped the telegraph newspaper that finally fell into his hand on the table and said, "What do you mean, Yingguo bitch?"

The Huang family still doesn’t know that Julie is Winnie, and they think that the Kingdom of Sarawak in the north of Kalimantan is still under the influence of the Yingguo people.

The fifth uncle’s face was expressionless, but others were already aware that this telegram was not that simple.

 Huang Delu also had a stern expression. This telegram was certainly not without purpose.

 A person appeared in his mind.

“Could it be him~” Huang Delu thought of Du Fei. He knew that Du Fei was deeply involved in Sarawak and used the oil company to cooperate with Winnie and Bushi.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door outside the conference room.

 Huang Yunzhong frowned and called out, "Come in."

 A young man pushed the door open and entered. He was a little nervous in the face of such a scene and whispered: "Report, Yajiada Subian's phone number."

People in the conference room were stunned. Is it such a coincidence? It happened that at this moment, Subian's call came.

Huang Yunzhong stood up and said, "I'll go listen."

 After Huang Yunzhong left, the conference room fell into silence.

 Huang Debiao curled his lips and looked out the window.

He respects his fifth uncle, but forget about the other two clan elders, they are just old people who only focus on their own interests.

 About twenty minutes later, Huang Yunzhong came back with a frown.

Huang Delu was shocked and immediately asked: "Father, what's going on?"

Huang Yunzhong said: "Su Bian didn't know how he found out, but we received a telegram from Kuching..."

These words stunned everyone present. They had just received the telegram, so Subian already knew?

What's happening here?

 In an instant, everyone thought of the mole, otherwise how would Subian know?

Seeing the suspicious eyes, Huang Yunzhong frowned sharply and said in a deep voice: "Don't doubt your own people until you find out."

 Huang Debiao curled his lips and said nothing.

Huang Delu thought for a while and said, "In my opinion, it may not be the news leaked from our side."

 Several people present looked over.

 Huang Delu coughed lightly and sorted out his words: "I just read the telegram. It was all meaningless rhetoric. Why did Kuching send this telegram?"

 No one who can sit here is stupid.

 I was instantly reminded by Huang Delu, what is the meaning of this telegram with no content? When I think about the phone call from Subian, I immediately react.

 “Do you think it’s a counter-intentional plan?” the fifth uncle said in a deep voice.

 Huang Delu nodded: "This is the only way to explain it."

 Several people then looked at Huang Yunzhong again.

Huang Yunzhong understood what they meant and shook his head: "It's useless. I've already explained it. He said he trusted us, but in fact..."

Anyone with a discerning eye knows that Subian has become a frightened bird at present. If this happens, no matter how they explain it, they will be suspicious of them.

Logically speaking, the Huang family does not want Lin Tiansheng to come across the sea, but they are not afraid of ten thousand, just in case.

If the Huang family cooperates with Lin Tiansheng, Subian will inevitably be in a desperate situation.

At that time, Sumatra will also be out of his control, and he will only be left with the lonely city of Jakarta.

According to Du Fei's idea, if Subian tries to save himself in this situation, his first choice will definitely be Meiguo and Yingguo.

 At the same time, Du Fei, as Subian’s ‘old friend’, is also an alternative.

 Things are indeed developing in this direction.

After talking to Huang Yunzhong on the phone, Subian pressed the receiver on the phone with an ugly expression.

Although Huang Yunzhong denied it, it still couldn't reassure him.

However, the telegram sent from Kuching also reminded him of Du Fei.

Although he and Du Fei were not friends, they actually formed a tacit understanding after Suharto's death.

 He recognized the current situation in Kuching and Pontianak, while Du Fei and Lin Tiansheng acquiesced in his acceptance of the remaining Suharto chassis.    In this matter, both parties have kept their promises.

 "Du Fei~" Subian muttered Du Fei's name silently, and his mind became active.

Du Fei had a good relationship with Lin Tiansheng. This time Lin Tiansheng got angry for no reason and accused him of instigating an attack on the Lin family. This was completely out of heed.

Others don’t know it, but he knows it in his heart. He is full and ready to do such nonsense.

 To calm down Lin Tiansheng's anger, the misunderstanding must be resolved.

 It seems quite appropriate to let Du Fei be the middleman.

 “Here comes~” Subian thought of this and immediately called out.

However, before he could finish his words, there was a knock on the door.

Logically speaking, the secretary outside the door did not get up so quickly, and then the office door was pushed open.

 A beautiful female secretary outside the door looked a little surprised: "Sir, did you call me?"

Subian frowned and asked, "What's the matter?"

The female secretary immediately said: "I just received a telegram from Li Jiapo..."

Subian frowned: "Li Jing?"

 The female secretary nodded.

Subian stretched out his hand and motioned for her to take it.

 Looking at the contents of the telegraph newspaper, Subian looked serious.

There is not much content above, just some official polite words. The most important content is that the incoming governor-elect of Xiangjiang, Baron Wilson, is going to Yajiada for a private visit.

 “Wilson?” Subian whispered the man’s name.

Although he has never heard of this person, the title of baron and governor-elect is still worthy of attention.

 Most importantly, what is the purpose of Wilson's sudden visit at this time?

At this time, the female secretary asked carefully: "Sir, what did you ask me for just now?"

Subian came back to his senses, thought for a while, waved his hand and said, "No, you can go out~"

 The female secretary responded.

This telegram made Soubian change his mind, and he decided to meet Baron Wilson first and then contact Du Fei.

 He had a feeling that Baron Wilson's arrival this time might bring him an unexpected turn of events.

Du Fei didn't know about this situation. He thought Subian would respond quickly, but unexpectedly there was no movement after two days~

This silence prevented Dufy from raising the Riau Islands' demands.

Logically speaking, as long as Du Fei agreed to help with the adjustment, it would be nothing at all to leave a small island that was clamoring to join the Malays in return.

　　It is not a loss at all for Subian, after all, it was not originally an area under his control.

 I don’t know what went wrong.

Du Fei can only wait for further news.

 However, a few days later the situation suddenly became clear.

 This morning, Du Fei was teasing his daughter at Wang Yufen's place when Chen Fangshi suddenly called.

As soon as Du Fei picked it up, he immediately frowned and handed his daughter to Wang Yufen.

 After the phone call, Du Fei left in a hurry.

 Come to the palace, Chen Fangshi’s Prime Minister’s Office.

Ju Li was also there, arriving one step ahead of Du Fei, and had just been called by Chen Fangshi.

Du Fei ignored talking to Zhu Li and took a newspaper from Chen Fangshi.

This is the largest newspaper in print, and its front page features a black-and-white photo of Soubian shaking hands with Baron Wilson.

At this time, Baron Wilson was not yet the Governor of Xiangjiang, but in the name of the special representative of the Under-Secretary of the Royal Navy.

Du Fei quickly scanned the content, and it turned out that Yingguo and Yinni were going to hold a joint maritime performance in the Java Sea.

  Among them, Yingguo’s Indu Yang Fleet will send a fleet of fourteen ships, including two heavy cruisers, to participate.

 It is self-evident who the target is.

Du Fei couldn't help but suddenly realized, no wonder there was no response from Subian in the past few days. It turned out that he was hugging a thicker thigh.

Du Fei gritted his teeth secretly. This was his wishful thinking that was cut short by the Yingguo people!

　　So many arrangements were made in advance just to invite Subian into the pot, but now the cooked duck just flew into someone else's pot.

What's even more damning is that there are articles in the newspaper speculating that Subian may be seeking to join the Commonwealth.

 This is such a nonsense guess~ It’s obviously just blowing the wind.

  This is simply unreasonable!

Du Fei's face was gloomy and he fell into silence.

What to do in this situation? Should he take a step back and proactively contact Subian to fight for it, or should Hard Steel finally pull out his life-saving straw and force the other party into the corner again?

Du Fei rejected the first option with just a second thought.

Now that Subian relies on the Yingguo people and thinks he is invincible, he may not be so easy to talk to.

Dufei’s real goal is the Riau Islands and to join the Strait Condominium Management Committee, but he has no time to argue with him.

 If it is the second type, it is inevitable to have a collision with the Yingguo people.

Can we win? Will there be any consequences? Is it worth doing?

Dufey must make a choice.

 Chen Fangshi and Zhu Li were silent, they had no better way to deal with this situation.

More importantly, when it comes to external consequences, at this time Dai Ying could barely be considered a dead camel bigger than a horse.

 This idea can only come from Du Fei.

Duffy also has few options. If he takes the initiative to contact Subian, not only will the effect be unknown, but he will also be exposed.

 More importantly, although the Yingguo people have intervened now, they probably don't know that this is Du Fei's arrangement.

  The greater probability is that after seeing Subian's embarrassment, coupled with Vincent's revelation of Huandun's change in Eastern policy, he planned to take the opportunity to use Subian as a breakthrough to intervene in Southeast Asia.

If Du Fei reveals his intention to pursue the Riau Islands at this time, Yingguo, a troublemaker, will definitely do everything possible to obstruct it.

 This is certain, and for them, there is no need for a reason at all.

In this case, if you want to force Subian to submit again, you must completely cut off the foreign aid that he regards as a life-saving straw.

 But how to cut it is another problem.

Probably having an idea in his mind, Du Fei asked: "What's going on over there with the Yingguo people?"

Chen Fangshi said: "I just received the news that they are mobilizing warships in the Suez Canal with great fanfare to form a fourteen-ship task force. Two of the heavy cruisers are 15,000-ton ships, and the others are They are all destroyers, and their commander is the deputy commander of the Indu Ocean Squadron, Major Carl Lewis."

Du Fei pursed his lips and sneered: "It's really a big show~"

Chen Fangshi said: "It is indeed a big fanfare. Now some English and French newspapers have shouted the slogan of returning to Nanyang."

Du Fei snorted coldly: "A few artillery ships that can't keep up with the times, apart from being bigger, they have nothing to show off."

Although he said this, Du Fei really didn't have any countermeasures at the moment.

　　Although the Yingguo ships are old, their tonnage and quantity are there.

  The current strength of surface ships in Kuching is that only four missile boats can be considered serious combat effectiveness, and other patrol boats can be ignored.

Not to mention Lin Tiansheng.

 Except for a few old patrol boats, there is no navy at all.

 This makes Dufy feel even more difficult.

 No wonder Subian announced it in such a high-profile manner. At this level, the masters of Huandun have really spent a lot of money.

 The power of this fleet is enough to offset Lin Tiansheng's military threat to Jawa Island.

There are only two paths left before Du Fei: either give up the original plan and think of another way; or fight to the end and pull out this fleet.

what to do?

 …

 At the same time, Wei Chenggong and Ma Dongmei had everything ready and only needed the east wind.

 The Riau Islands include Batam, Tanrong, Lingga... Several important islands are controlled by Wei Chenggong's guerrillas.

 And a residents’ autonomous committee was established and a formal application for membership was submitted to Jilongpo.

This made different voices appear at the top of Jilongpo, who had been preparing to pretend to be dead and turn a blind eye.

 They were resistant before, mainly because they did not believe that this thing could be done. After all, there were so many islands and sea areas, and Yajiada would not give up easily no matter how hard they thought about it.

 But now, new changes have occurred in the situation, giving them real hope, and some people's mentality has changed accordingly.

I thought it would be profitable and succeeded without any preparation. Taking the Riau Islands is definitely a feat that will go into the history books.

 Sarawak was lost before, but it actually had little impact on Malay.

 Because originally Malay and Sarawak were not from the same family. It was the British and Go people who made a random attempt to bring them together.

Sarawak's secession was not considered too treasonous in the eyes of the Malays.

Even so, there are always negative impacts. Jilongpo Zhengfu had long wanted to eliminate the impacts, but there was no chance. Now is the opportunity.

 In this case, Du Fei must hurry up.

 Originally, it was under the guise of the Malays, but if they are really involved, it will become more complicated.

 There are only two ways to achieve a quick victory in a short period of time: either directly destroy the Yingguo fleet, or find a way to prevent them from reaching the Java Sea.

 Getting rid of the fleet directly, it should be said or not, is very difficult and the consequences are quite serious. Once a war is caused, the gains outweigh the losses.

The navy has always been Dai Ying's last face. Even though it is on the decline now, he still needs face.

If something really happens to the fleet, we will investigate it no matter what. It is impossible to get over it in a daze, otherwise the officials would stop doing it.

 Fortunately, the fleet is still gathering in the Suez Canal, and it will take half a month at the earliest to reach Nanyang.

 Before Du Fei makes a decision, he plans to ask Vincent first to see what Huandun thinks and whether there is any room for maneuver.

However, after the telegram was sent, there was no reply for two or three days.

Du Fei was thinking, Vincent actually came in person!

 Not long after, Du Fei met Vincent again, and Du Fei could clearly sense his depression.

 It seems that the situation in Xiangjiang is not so optimistic for the Vincent and Dai Zhilin families.
