Rebirth of the Flying Era

Chapter 1312

This time Vincent became nervous again.

This time, there are no flowery people who are flattering and suppressing the inferiors. It is mainly the British and fruitful people.

In order to please the new master who is about to take office, many people choose to draw a clear line with the Dai Zhilin family, and even deliberately make things difficult to disgust people.

Vincent originally tolerated it. After all, the situation was stronger than the people. Wilson was so powerful that his family couldn't afford to offend him.

 There is simply no need to compete with these people who act according to the prevailing circumstances. It will lower one's own status in vain.

Besides, we have to leave anyway, so there is no point even if we fight over each other.

No one expected that what was originally a sure thing would take such a dramatic turn, and Baron Wilson would die!

 Why did he die?

Logically speaking, the punishment is not as good as that of a great official, and the courtesy is not as good as that of a common man.

 In political struggles, assassination is rarely used directly. Once this method is used, there are several possibilities.

Either you are jumping over the wall in a hurry, or you don’t want to waste more time, and you can avoid the opponent’s counterattack after taking action.

Du Fei certainly can’t be regarded as jumping over the wall in a hurry. Although the situation this time is somewhat urgent, it does not endanger Du Fei’s fundamental interests.

To say the least, even if his plan failed, he would only have lost the opportunity to enter the Straits Condominium Management Committee.

 Although it is a pity, it is not a great loss.

Moreover, in Du Fei's original plan, he did not plan to directly kill Lewis Shaojiang. At worst, this group of people would become seriously ill.

 As long as no one is killed, it won't irritate the opponent too much.

But later, because Vincent got in touch with the big man Huandun, who made a request as a partner, Du Fei changed his mind after careful consideration.

Therefore, Baron Wilson was also picked up. Anyway, if one kills two, he will die, and the other party is responsible for eliminating the impact.

Of course, there is another possibility, that is, the big shot goes back on his word, changes hands and uses Du Fei, and then takes advantage of him.

 Du Fei was also prepared for this situation.

This probability is very small. The other party knows Du Fei's heel, and ordinary means cannot shake Du Fei's foundation at all.

At this time, the housekeeper suddenly knocked on the door from outside and came in: "Sir, Colonel Feiwen called to see you."

Dai Zhilin leaned on the sofa and pushed his eyes. The sunlight outside the window reflected on the lenses.

Vincent snorted coldly and sneered: "This guy's reaction is quite fast."

 Colonel Fewin, one of the most popular people who danced before, was once a high school classmate of Baron Wilson.

 The two had linked up early, thinking that when Baron Wilson arrived, he would be able to make great achievements.

Unexpectedly, the sweet dream was suddenly shattered. Colonel Fei Wen was caught off guard and very frightened.

 Baron Wilson has died, and Dai Zhilin will continue to act as governor temporarily.

Moreover, this temporary replacement has no time limit. If Huandun does not propose a new candidate, Dai Zhilin will continue to be the temporary replacement.

 At that time, just throwing a pair of small shoes at him would make him extremely uncomfortable.

 Vincent stood up with a meaningful smile on his face: "Uncle, I'll go see him."

Dai Zhilin nodded and said calmly: "Don't go too far, don't forget our identities."

Having been an uncle and nephew for so many years, Vincent certainly understood the meaning of ‘don’t go too far’. He smiled, got up and went out.

 …

Yajada, because Du Fei destroyed the Independence Palace earlier, Subian has been working in the original parliament building since he came to power.

 He was also confused when he heard the news from Li Jiapo.

The foreign aid, which was originally highly hoped, was enough to change the regional situation. It was collectively lying collectively because of eating a pot of mushroom soup halfway.

  This is simply unreasonable!

Subian's face was as dark as water, and he walked around the office with his hands behind his back.

At this time, his situation is still not optimistic. If he loses the support of the British and French fleets, it is difficult to guarantee that a worse situation will not occur in the next step.

 Especially the attitude of local forces in Sumatra.

 Although Subian had transferred a lot of benefits to them before, it was only a temporary appeasement.

Subian is strong, so they will naturally stay on their own, but the situation in Subian is obviously not that good now.

 Once Sumatra is lost, the so-called Yajiada Palace will be completely reduced to a local power.

 This is why Subian would rather give many benefits to the Yingguo people, but also invite the fleet to perform.

With the name of a veteran colonist like Ying Guo, it can at least stabilize the losers in Sumatra.

 What he didn’t expect was that just after receiving reports of collective food poisoning among the fleet’s top brass, he received another piece of news.

 A meeting minutes leaked from within Yingguo, which clearly recorded the conversation between Baron Wilson and Mr. Lewis, including the record of using the excuse of the exercise to forcefully rent Palembang.

As for the source of this news, Du Fei did not conceal his identity this time, and there was no need for it.

 At this point, the heat is almost done and there is no need to play tricks anymore.

Moreover, Du Fei not only gave this information to Subian, but also to the local forces in Palembang.

 Palembang is the most important port and commercial city in Sumatra, and its value is not inferior to Surabaya occupied by the Huang family.

 Since the territory is not under Subian’s direct control, if he didn’t care about public opinion, he would just rent it out.

 The question is how the local forces in Palembang can agree.

 After receiving the intelligence, he immediately became furious and sent continuous telegrams to question Subian.

Subian was even more passive this time. Facing Lin Tiansheng's threat and pressure, foreign aid might not be available for a while, and his teammates started making trouble again.

I really responded to those words, pressed the gourd and started scooping up the gourd.

Subian couldn't help but think of Du Fei's life-saving straw again...

At this time, Du Fei, who was in Lijiapo, had just received a secret telegram from Vincent from Xiangjiang.

The telegram contained a lot of content. First, it was to thank Du Fei. As for what to thank, the two of them knew very well. Furthermore, the four destroyers originally agreed upon have been successfully unsealed and can be sent to Kuching by tugboat after a brief inspection.

Du Fei didn’t expect Vincent’s movements to be so neat.

 I thought I would have to wait until he returned before these destroyers could be unsealed.

Furthermore, Vincent also said in the telegram that in addition to the four destroyers, there happened to be three good minesweepers, each with a displacement of about 500 tons, and they were also given to Du Fei. These three were not considered expensive.

Du Fei couldn't help but smile, and there was a good thing about buying four and getting three free.

 Three minesweepers were obtained for free, but don’t want them for nothing.

Du Fey killed Baron Wilson this time, which was very important to Vincent and his family.

However, this also caused new problems for Du Fei. So many ships came at once, and he had no one to pilot them!

 As expected, we have to seek help from China.

This is not a top priority. At this time, Du Fei is still staying in Lijiapo, staring at the temporarily paralyzed fleet, waiting for the queen's reaction.

Du Fei never thought that just one setback could make the queen known as the 'Standby King' retreat.

This woman is not a weak character. In terms of ability, she is not particularly strong but not weak either. It’s just that she didn’t get off to a good start. After the devastation of World War II, Yingguo’s royal power fell away and it was quite difficult to maintain the current situation.

It would be naive to think that just killing a few people can change the queen's will.

This involves the highest-level game in the Luandun area. Although the big shot in Luandun who cooperates with Du Fei represents a more powerful force, he cannot openly bully the royal family.

 Because all British people do not want the second Cromwell to appear. The kind of dictator who has greater power than the king has never been a friend of big capital.

Now the fleet has not received clear orders, indicating that the game is not over yet.

 The Queen is likely to send someone again to make a final attempt.

As expected, Du Fei's guess was correct. News soon came that Baron Bayer of Wales would replace Young Master Lewis and continue to lead the fleet to Yajiada according to the established plan.

Du Fei just smiled when he heard the news. In his opinion, this was just a fight between the queen and the trapped beast.

　　Or it can be said that it is a desperate move. At this time, she cannot retreat. Although the result is not optimistic, the queen has no choice. She must show a strong and determined will to let some people who are attached to the royal family see hope.

 Then there is this fleet, which is the largest British fleet patrolling the East Asian and Southeast Asian regions after World War II.

 Although they are all old warships, at least they are quite impressive in terms of tonnage and quantity.

The result was a big fanfare, but before reaching the destination, he was knocked down by a pot of poisonous mushroom soup. The whole world was watching the joke.

 If it ends here, they will become a complete joke.

 It was the Queen’s faction’s insistence that caused this result. Who will bear this responsibility then?

 From this perspective, the fleet’s cruise plan cannot be interrupted.

Baron Bayer will fly out in three days. As for the other officers who suffered the disaster, it cannot be replaced for the time being. They can only be treated in the hospital, and their respective deputies will temporarily take over their duties.

But Du Fei can no longer take action against Baron Bayer.

Some things should at least appear to be okay on the surface. Both fleet commanders had accidents in Lijiapo, which would only push the Yingguo people to the point where they had to find out the matter, even if they wanted to get over it in a daze.

Dufey can't take things to that point. Once he does that, he will reach a dead end and put himself into a prison.

 The method is also very simple. Just attack their people last time and attack their ships this time.

 After all, it is not reasonable for a classic ship that has been in service for more than 20 years to suddenly have its boiler explode during a long voyage~

By the way, provide a step so that the Yingguo people can withdraw the fleet.

 Furthermore, something has just happened to Young Master Lewis, and Baron Bayer will definitely be extra careful.

 Yingguo was the overlord of the previous generation, a great empire that once dominated the world, and still has some background to this day.

Du Fei is sure that Baron Bayer will be surrounded by experts this time. Although Du Fei is sure that Compassion is stronger, there is no need to go hard and show his cards. Standing by the south-facing window of the hotel, you can see the masts of the Ampton anchored in the port in the distance, which are filled with various antennas.

 In accordance with the tradition of the British navy, the ships are well maintained.

Especially before this voyage, these ships were carefully selected and carefully inspected to ensure that there would be no problems during navigation.

However, the machine is dead but the people are alive, and there are still many ways to make it go wrong.

At this time, there was a knock on Du Fei's door.

Du Fei knew who was coming from outside through his vision, and said "Come in".

 Ma Sangu came in from outside.

Du Fei did not look back, still looking out the window: "Is it done?"

Ma Sangu hurriedly said: "Don't worry, the other party is a damage control soldier in the engine room. He gave him two thousand dollars and some magic tricks."

 “Two thousand dollars?” Du Fei repeated with a half-smile.

Although Ma Sangu used magic, the two thousand dollars were the most important, and they were the sharp weapon to break through the psychological defense of the damage control soldier.

  It means that this huge ship with a displacement of 15,000 tons is only worth two thousand US dollars in his heart.

According to Ma Sangu, the damage control soldier on duty in the engine room would tamper with the boiler, causing a serious accident to the cruiser's engine.

Ma Sangu swore that the cruiser's engine room would explode within a few hours at most.

 It can be seen that Ma Sangu really wants to show off in front of Du Fei, but unfortunately this time she is destined to be unable to do so.

Du Fei smiled noncommittally.

Because Ma Sangu has been exposed, when Ma Sangu and his wife were doing things, crows were following and observing them from a distance.

 The other party is very strong and very professional.

Ma Sangu and his wife are not professional police cleaners, so they cannot be blamed for being followed.

Du Fei had previously guessed that Baron Bayer would be accompanied by experts when he came this time, but now it seemed that he had underestimated the strength of the Yingguo military clearance department.

As for the cooperation between Du Fei and the big shot Huandun, it belongs to a higher level and cannot be put on the stage. People below will not know about it. It is normal to send people to investigate, but the efficiency and strength of the other party are a bit strong.

Du Fei estimated that this person was probably performing other tasks and happened to be near Lijiapo, so he was temporarily transferred here.

Sure enough, a few hours later, in Du Fei's room, he saw black smoke rising from behind the mast of the fleet flagship Apton on the harbor in the distance.

  Indicated that the battleship's boilers were operating normally, and a few minutes later the whistle was sounded.

Du Fei had no expression on his face, which showed that the arrangement of Ma Sangu and his wife was a complete failure.

At this moment, the phone in the house rang.

Du Fei walked over to pick it up, and heard the voice from the hotel front desk: "Hello distinguished guest, you have a visitor..."

Du Fei raised his eyebrows. The other party was obviously prepared and called his name at the front desk.

 The other party had discovered Ma Sangu a few hours ago and did not come immediately. Instead, he waited until now, probably waiting for intelligence feedback.

"Let him come up~" Du Fei smiled playfully. According to the investigation of the crow team deployed outside the hotel, there was only one person on the other side, and there were no manpower outside. It was obvious that he was a brave man with high skills.

Du Fei is guarded by the giant Buddha of Compassion. Of course, there is no need to be afraid. He happens to meet this person.

 A moment later, a handsome man over 1.8 meters tall in a suit and leather shoes came to Du Fei's room.

When Du Fei saw this person, a flash of surprise flashed in his eyes, just like when he saw Lei Luo. This person looked too much like an actor named Sean Connor before he traveled through time.

He is quite handsome according to white people's aesthetics. He is in his thirties, with sharp eyes and extraordinary bearing.

However, when this person walked into the room and first saw Cixin sitting cross-legged on the sofa, his pupils suddenly contracted and his body stiffened slightly, and he instinctively felt a huge threat.

In contrast, Ci Xin was not moved at all. He just glanced at him from the corner of his eye and then looked away. He continued to meditate with his eyes closed as if no one else was watching.

 The gap in strength and level between the two is clear at a glance.

According to Du Fei's judgment, the strength of the man in front of him is probably similar to that of Zhao Yuchun back then, and slightly stronger than Eagle.

 The presence of loving-kindness is beyond the other party’s expectation, and the person turns from full of confidence to cautious.

Du Fei was also sitting on the sofa, pointed to the seat next to him, and said "please sit down".

 The visitor frowned and stood at the door without moving.

Du Fei smiled and picked up the red wine placed in the ice bucket next to him, poured two glasses into the wine glass next to him, picked up a glass by himself, and raised it to the visitor: "Don't be nervous, I'm not here for this. Fight and kill.”

The visitor only hesitated for a moment, walked over, sat on the sofa, picked up another glass of wine and said "three grams of oil".

Du Fei nodded and asked, "What do you call it?"

 “Bang~” the man replied: “James Bang.”

Du Fei raised his eyebrows and his expression became more playful: "Bang's~ Zero and Seven from the Sixth Office?"

James' heart froze. He tried his best to control his expression, but he still couldn't help but show shock. The man in front of him actually revealed his background.

Du Fei remained calm, but felt deeply in his heart that this was really him.

But it’s not important, Du Fei said with a smile: "What does Mr. James want to see me for? Do you want to ask if I did what happened to the Ampton?"

James was surprised. He didn't expect Du Fei to directly point out the matter. He was obviously confident and couldn't help but said with a serious expression: "It's really you!"

Du Fei nodded and said bluntly: "Shouldn't we use their most common method to deal with a pirate family? I learned this from you, just like you couldn't make profits from the porcelain and tea trade back then. Then he turned to selling dental tablets..." As he spoke, Du Fei pursed his lips slightly and shook his head, mockingly: "For civilized people wearing suits now, this is really a shameful history~"

James was speechless. He considered himself a gentleman and was well aware of that period of history: "I can only say that I am very sorry, but you were also responsible for the poisoning this time, right~"

To James' surprise, Du Fei denied it this time: "Don't say such nonsense. It was just an accident. The chef made a mistake with the mushrooms. What does it have to do with me? This is recognized by your Foreign Education Department."

James was silent.

Du Fei continued: "Besides, why should I deal with your fleet? What benefits do I have? Am I afraid that you will have another tooth war? Mister James, this is not 1840."

James thought that Du Fei indeed had no motive, and objectively speaking, these broken ships really did not make Huaguo nervous.

"Mist James, we are not enemies." Du Fei crossed his legs contentedly and took a sip of red wine: "It's not me who wants to destroy your fleet, but your own people. I, a foreigner, just act in the spirit of Internationalist spirit, just doing a little favor for a friend..."

James' brows narrowed into the Chinese character "Chuan", and when he heard Du Fei say the last name, his pupils shrank instantly.

That is a big shot that even his immediate boss wants to fawn over, a man who stands at the top of Big Ben.

James is a smart man, and in his position, he knows many secrets that ordinary people don't know.

 As soon as he heard Du Fei's words, and then thought about the situation in their country, he immediately guessed everything.

The faction to which that big shot belongs is wrestling with the queen. The struggle between the two sides over the fleet sent to Southeast Asia is likely to determine the political structure of Huandun in the next few years or even more than ten years.

Du Fei sat on the sofa and watched relaxedly.

Until James Bond looked at him again and said calmly: "So, don't stop me, that makes no sense. Everything I do now is not destroying but helping you. This fleet can only go as far as Get here, otherwise this fight will escalate, and one of your gentlemen, or Her Majesty the Queen, is likely to die. You must know better than me what the consequences of that will be."

 At this point, Du Fei chuckled: "Of course, personally, I am very pleased with this result."

James pursed his lips tightly, realizing the seriousness of this matter.

This is far beyond his control.

 He is an agent. He is very powerful and can complete many seemingly impossible tasks.

 But that's just a task. The superior has clearly given a goal, and he just needs to simply carry it out.

Rather than being involved in high-level line disputes like now.

James' face turned even more ugly, and he was keenly aware of the seriousness of this matter.

The words just now were certainly exaggerated by Du Fey, but one thing Du Fey was right about was that if this fleet arrived smoothly, it would greatly stimulate the ambition and determination of the royalists. They will use tougher and more violent methods to gain more power. The strength of the royal family and the queen will grow, and their attitude will become tougher.

 At that time, the current political ecology and structure of Luandun will be completely broken.

No one can predict what the final outcome will be once this happens.

At this moment, James suddenly regretted why he had to stop the damage control soldier before.

Without his intervention, the cruiser USS Apton's boiler would have exploded and it would lie down in the harbor without causing any casualties.

 And the whole thing will become simple.

 There are sufficient reasons to cancel this expedition.

 He is from Yingguo, but he is not loyal to the queen, but to the Guo family.

 Times have changed and the Queen should stay where she should be.

Rather than going against the trend and reversing the course of history.

 But now it’s all over, what should we do next?

 However, while he was struggling, Du Fei looked outside the window.

At the far port, after the Apton started its boiler normally, a huge muffled sound suddenly came from another heavy cruiser of the same model next to it.

With a bang, the huge hull shook, followed by a harsh damage control alarm.

The sailors who were very leisurely on the ship or on the shore immediately became nervous, but they had different reactions. Some rushed towards the warship, and some immediately ran away from the port.

 The former plans to return to combat duty immediately to deal with possible enemy attacks.

The latter realized that if it were an enemy attack, warships would be the biggest targets. Now the farther away from the warships, the safer they would be.
