Rebirth of the Flying Era

Chapter 1347 Beat me so hard

 Du Fei could only sneer in response to Siam's request.

 The situation in Siam today is not good, or in other words, the current situation is the result of the game between them.

 One of the biggest promoters is the royal family of Siam, the scheming Majesty Pumi Bang.

As a king who was born in America and received an American education since childhood, he has never been willing to become a symbolic mascot.

More than a dozen years before he became king, Siam was still a traditional monarchy in which the king had supreme power.

He would rather have the authority of his ancestors, rather than the so-called constitutional monarchy that is subject to various checks and balances.

 In order to achieve this goal, he has been working secretly, using the military to suppress domestic capitalists, and using capitalists to release them to contain the military.

 In this situation of checks and balances, all parties are trying to gain greater power and interests.

 He had been doing very well before this. In the world before Du Fei traveled through time, he would have mastered this skill until his death a few decades later.

 During his reign, Siam was nominally a constitutional monarchy, but in fact the king enjoyed huge powers that were completely unmatched by a normal constitutional monarchy.

 But this time, he made a mistake and actually wanted to use Du Fei to get something out of the fire.

Dufey must take a good beating.

As for what Chen Fangshi mentioned, Du Fei thinks there is no need to consider whether the domestic side is prepared.

 Because to deal with a mere Siam, there is no need to use additional support at all.

 Although before, through the exchange with Li Yuanchao, a long and narrow corridor bordering Siam was obtained.

But there is absolutely no need to expose this road so early. Du Fei left this passage to guard against changes in Li's aid to Korea in the future. He still had a channel to project deterrence at home.

 There is no such situation now, and Li Yuanchao can take action directly.

 Whether it is massing heavy troops for deterrence or holding live-fire exercises, they are all options.

In addition, northern Siam itself is the scope of activities of the Progressive Party guerrillas. It is not even necessary for Li Yuanchao to take action personally, but with a little leakage from the fingers, these guerrillas can be armed.

 …

 Over the next few days, the situation escalated further.

First of all, the Progressive Party guerrillas in northern Siam suddenly became stronger. They were originally suppressed in the deep mountains and old forests. They suddenly obtained a large number of guns and ammunition. Their morale and tactical command also improved to a higher level. After attacking from all sides and capturing several counties, Directly assembled large forces to attack Qingmai Mansion and Yingchang Mansion in the north.

This shocked the whole of Siam, and His Majesty the King in Bangkok knew it very well. This was Du Fei's response to him.

At the same time, Du Fei came to the shipyard in person in Kuching.

 Dick Mourning, the director of the shipyard, accompanied him and inspected the heavy cruiser Kuching, which was still being refitted.

This giant ship with a displacement of nearly 15,000 tons, after Du Fei repaired the power cabin, stayed on the slipway for more than half a year, and then transferred to outfitting.

It will take another three months at most to complete this modernization modification. By then, in addition to the two triple-mounted 210mm main guns on the bow, it will carry dozens of anti-ship missiles with a range from dozens of kilometers to more than 100 kilometers. , becoming a veritable missile cruiser.

It is a pity that this giant ship will have to wait for another three months to return to the sea, and it will definitely not be able to catch up with the operation against Siam.

Dufey stood on the disguise of a cruiser moored at the dock of the shipyard.

 At present, the repair of the ship's bow has been completed. The turrets of the two huge 210mm main guns have been repainted with dark gray anti-rust paint, and a new sea scanning radar has been installed on the mast behind the bridge.

 The main modification work is at the back. The two main guns are removed to make enough space to install various missiles and anti-aircraft guns.

 At this time, a large amount of scaffolding was also built, and the workers were working in an orderly manner.

Du Fei stood at the bow of the ship, patted the metal guardrail with his hand, but looked at the dry dock next to it.

 Inside are four missile boats that have just laid their keels and are being built at the same time.

These missile boats are already the fourth batch of missile boats manufactured by Kuching Shipyard. Each missile boat is equipped with two anti-ship missiles, a twin 40mm gun is installed on the bow, and the displacement is more than 200 tons.

Although we accidentally obtained a heavy cruiser, we also obtained three destroyers and minesweepers from the Xiangjiang River.

But Du Fei is very clear-minded. Cruisers and destroyers are just for show. The real backbone of Kuching's navy will still be missile boats and torpedo boats for a long time to come.

 Because with the current technological level of Kuching Shipyard, these are the only two types of ships that can be built independently.

Although larger destroyers and frigates can also be built, they are limited to hulls, and the weapons and advanced electronic equipment needed on board must be purchased externally.

 In this regard, the country is also stretched.

It's not impossible to buy it from outside, but you will definitely be treated as a big loser and slaughtered.

But Du Fei knew very well that before the emergence of phased array radar, missile boats were enough as long as they did not go out to the ocean.

“How many missile boats can we build by the end of this year?” Du Fei suddenly asked.

Dick Monin immediately replied: "The supporting missiles are currently in place. With our construction progress, we can build at least three batches, totaling twelve ships."

Du Fei nodded. Adding these twelve ships and the three batches that have been in service before, the Kuching Navy will have twenty-four missile boats by the end of the year. Each missile boat carries two missiles. If a saturation attack is carried out, it can A wave of forty-eight missiles formed in a short period of time.

 In this era, this is already quite terrifying anti-ship firepower. If the H-7 is added to the subsequent service, Du Fei has decided to use Kuching's wealth to purchase at least four H-7 bombers.

If these bombers do not carry ordinary aerial bombs, one of them can carry six anti-ship missiles, and four of them are twenty-four.

 If sea and air cooperation is achieved, a more powerful missile wave will be formed, at least the strongest in the South Ocean region.

Du Fei couldn't help but smile a little. He had worked hard for so long and finally saw the results.

 With this confidence, we will be able to deal with Siam more freely in the future.

 Coming back from the shipyard, Du Fei immediately convened the highest military meeting.

  In the center of Kuching, about two kilometers away from the original Royal Palace, a new Kingdom Council Building was built here in the past year and a half.

As the Prime Minister of the Kingdom, Chen Fangshi’s office officially moved here, and the relevant government departments also moved here.

 The original royal palace, as the private property of the royal family, was directly transferred to the private foundation in the name of Dufy and Julie, and was transformed into a museum similar to the National Palace Museum, becoming a new tourist attraction in Kuching.

People all over the world are the same. They are always curious about the private life of emperors or kings. In addition, the palace itself is decorated with splendor and splendor. Even if the ticket price is higher, many people are willing to pay the money.

As for the titular ruler of Kuching, Her Majesty Queen Julie has no time to care about such matters at the moment.

　　Although this is my second pregnancy, for some unknown reason, the reaction was greater than the last time. As the months got older, I vomited at home in the dark.

Du Fei came to the spacious conference hall.

 Because it is newly built, the building's facilities are very new and the latest high-power central air conditioner is installed. It is very hot outside but very cool inside.

Du Fei sat at one end of the conference room. On his left was Chen Fangshi and on his right was Zhu Benchang.

Zhu Benchang is a member of the Zhu family, and is the uncle of Du Fei and Zhu Li according to his seniority. Sitting here represents the interests of the fourth branch of the Zhu family.

 As the relationship between Du Fei and Zhu Li was established, especially with the birth of Xiao Zhengping, the fourth branch of the Zhu family completely migrated over.

At this time, it was clear that Du Fei had arranged for Chen Fangshi in advance to take advantage of the Prime Minister's benefits and foresight.

Without Chen Fangshi, the entire balance of power in Kuching would be broken with the arrival of the fourth brother of the Zhu family.

 Due to the special nature of Du Fei, it is impossible to keep an eye here all the time, and Julie has natural legitimacy as the queen. Once Julie's identity is integrated with the family, you can imagine what the result will be.

 But now, with the existence of Chen Fangshi and the people Du Fei had sent from the capital, a brand new interest group had formed.

This group is headed by Chen Fangshi. Economically, it includes the construction company established by Lao Yang's family, and the Wang family's trading company on Wang Yufen's side.

There are even more people in the army. The Wang family headed by Wang Xiaodong, because of the presence of Wang Yufen, Wang Xiaodong naturally has adsorption power. Then there is the one who came from the security department of the steel rolling mill. Because they have the same background, they naturally stick together. The old Yang brothers and Liu Kuangfu were all the backbone. Then there are those under Eagle, the people from the original mercenary group. Although the mercenary group has been broken up, Eagle is still there. This faction is still there, like Wei Chenggong and Song Zhenzhu, who are holding Kuching. Of the security forces, one is the most trusted guard captain around Julie.

 Comparatively speaking, the situation on the Zhengfu side is more complicated. In addition to the Chen and Zhu factions, there are also many local forces.

Du Fei was expressionless. Because it was a tropical climate, it was impossible to wear clothes that were particularly thick and could highlight his imposing manner.

Even so, Du Fei still chose a military green half-sleeved shirt from the Kuching Army, and buttoned up the disciplinary buttons. He was upright and meticulous.

　In the conference room, everyone sat still and there was silence.

Those related to the army were all the same as Du Fei, wearing military green half-sleeved shirts, while those on the official side wore the same white shirt, black pants, and black leather shoes.

Du Fei's eyes were calm and deep. There were many familiar faces in the conference room. Most of these people were very young. There were also some new faces, some from the Zhu family and some from the local area.

 But no matter who he is, he can't affect Du Fei's control of the overall situation.

 The meeting process was very simple. Du Fei made some summaries based on Chen Fangshi’s previous report.

  Relevant departments will give praise where they deserve it and hammer where it deserves it, but overall the development here in Kuching is pretty good.

 The next step is about the attitude towards Siam, which is also the main purpose of Du Fei coming from China this time.

"Navy~" Du Fei looked at the dark-skinned middle-aged people ranked about seven or eight on the conference table.

This man is tall and has broad shoulders. He looks like he is from the north.

His name is Wang Weizhong. He was originally the captain of the domestic search fleet and is now the commander of the Kuching Navy.

 His other identity is the son-in-law of the Zhu family. His wife's name is Zhu Qiaoyun, who is Zhu Li's cousin.

 Zhu Pengzhi, who had been temporarily in charge of the navy, was transferred to the government.

Meeting Du Fei's gaze, Wang Weizhong stood up immediately, writing straight and in a military style.

Du Fei said in a deep voice: "Commander Wang, you know the situation of our navy better than I do. The only three destroyers we have at our disposal for the time being are the three newly renovated destroyers. Can they go to sea?"

Wang Weizhong said loudly without hesitation: "Yes! With the commander's order, we naval officers and soldiers will guarantee to complete the mission."

Du Fei said: "Okay, I will also deploy the six gunships for you. Go to Petit Nien in Siam and remove the pirate's lair for me."

Wang Weizhong was not surprised. He was mentally prepared before coming. He immediately stood up and said quickly and forcefully: "Yes!"

Du Fei nodded, what he wanted was to execute the order without question, and said in a deep voice: "What if we encounter a Siamese warship to stop us?"

Wang Weizhong said: "Report to the chief, any behavior that prevents the completion of the task will be regarded as a hostile act, and I will fight back forcefully."

 Du Fei smiled: "Very good, I'm waiting for the good news of your victory." Then Du Fei's eyes turned to Eagle.

 Eager is the only blond and blue-eyed person in the entire conference room.

Meeting Du Fei's gaze, Eagle immediately stood up, just like Wang Weizhong.

Du Fei said: "Is the special operations battalion ready?"

Eagle said: "Report, there are 1,370 people in the special operations battalion, and all members are ready to go into battle at any time."

 The so-called special operations battalion is an independently organized unit under Eagle, similar to a special forces unit.

Eager is now in charge of the intelligence department in Kuching and has been separated from the army, except for this unit.

These more than a thousand people are elites carefully selected from the entire army. They have the best treatment, the best training, and the best equipment.

  There is no need to go through anyone or any procedures, just a thought from Du Fei can mobilize this power.

 It can be said that these more than a thousand people are Du Fei's private soldiers.

This time Du Fei is going to let this special operations battalion test its edge.

The original two fruit routes, the Pingyang and Moscow routes, could not be moved easily. If necessary, he was prepared to dispatch twenty Y-8s from the Bagoda and Tripoli routes.

These transport aircraft are enough to transport more than a thousand people and equipment of the special operations battalion to any airport within 6,000 kilometers in one wave.

 …

 After the understanding was over, Wang Weizhong set off directly.

 At dawn the next day, after sailing all night, a formation composed of three destroyers arrived at Petania, which is adjacent to Malay.

This is the home base of Sukai Group.

 At this time, several days had passed since Sucai's death.

 The pirates who stayed here still don’t know what happened, because there were similar situations when Su Cai went out for a few days before.

It wasn’t until the eastern sunlight illuminated the outlines of three destroyers from behind that any pirates in the camp realized something was wrong.

 Because they were hyenas raised by the royal family and specialized in doing dirty work. They were very vigilant in the camp and did not expect to be in danger at all.

 At first I spotted three destroyers and thought they were ships from the Siamese Navy passing by.

 It wasn’t until the three ships got closer and closer, and moved away, and the turrets turned, that they realized something was wrong.

However, it was already too late, Wang Weizhong stood on the flagship "Laizhou".

 The so-called Laizhou is the original Wenlai, which is Sri Bega. When the Riau Islands were changed to Guixu, the original place names on Borneo were also Chineseized.

On the bridge of the Laizhou, Wang Weizhong looked seriously at the pirate camp in the distance with a telescope.

Even though he looks calm on the outside, he is actually a little nervous inside.

Wang Weizhong has lived for forty years and has been in the navy for twenty years, but this is his first real combat experience and he is no more experienced than those young soldiers.

However, this tension did not make him afraid, but made him more excited!

Wang Weizhong was glad that his decision to give up everything in the country and come to Nanyang with his wife's family was the right one.

 Otherwise, given his situation, it may be difficult for him to actually lead the fleet in a naval battle until the day he retires.

What's more, the largest ships we had in the country were only over 300 tons.

Now this is a serious ocean-going destroyer, and soon a 10,000-ton giant ship will be added to the list.

Wang Weizhong's eyes became more determined. This was the opportunity given to him by God, and he ordered "fire" without hesitation.

With this sound, three old-fashioned destroyers, each with two twin-mounted 100mm naval guns at the front and rear, a total of twelve guns, roared at the same time.

 After careful repairs at the shipyard, coupled with several months of training and running-in, these three destroyers, although old, have demonstrated a very high technical level in the hands of these sailors.

 This kind of attack on fixed targets on the ground is simply too easy for them.

 With a burst of intensive gunfire, a sheet of black smoke enveloped the sea.

The pirate camp located on a protruding peninsula was more than half destroyed in an instant. Most of the people inside were killed in a confused explosion without even understanding what was going on.

Those who were lucky enough to survive had their faces covered with confusion, but they did not come back to their senses. The second round of shelling had already arrived...

The rate of fire of the 100mm naval gun is quite fast, and in the blink of an eye it has reached five rounds.

 The pirate camp on the ground has been turned into ruins.

Logically speaking, this has completed the task assigned by Du Fei, but Wang Weizhong knew that destroying the pirate camp was not a problem at all.

 Their real mission has only just begun.

 The most important thing is that the pirate camp is located in Tai Nien Province.

How will His Majesty the King and the powerful military officials react if they are attacked?

 So, after destroying the pirate camp, Wang Weizhong did not leave, but swaggered to stay where he was and waited.

 At the same time, the telephone numbers of some important departments in Mangu have been overwhelmed.

"What are you talking about! How dare they..." In the palace, Pumi Beng's face was ugly, and the eyes under his gold-rimmed eyes were murderous.

 He really wanted to provoke a conflict between Du Fei and the military.

 But directly sending gunboats to open fire is no longer a simple contradiction, but a slap in the face.

　　It was not only Jun Zhengfu’s face that was slapped, but also the king’s face.

 More importantly, he was a little scared. He was not sure what Du Fei wanted to do?

"Could it be that the wording before was too strong?" Pumi frowned, thinking about various possibilities.

 At the same time, as the head of the military government, Thanong is even more troubled.

I don’t know if it’s because of my old age, but I have suffered from migraines in the past few years. When I heard this news, I suddenly felt pain again, like needles.

Thanon rubbed his temples painfully, and it took him a while to feel some relief, then asked: "What did the navy say?"

 Although it is the military government, Thanong is still in the army. His control over the navy is very limited. Everyone has a cooperative relationship and does not belong to superiors and subordinates.

The secretary opposite the desk said: "Sir, the Weng Chaojiang Army of the Navy has sent a warship."

Tanong was surprised: "So fast?"

I immediately realized that the Navy had always disagreed with the current distribution of interests.

  Comparatively speaking, the air force is relatively small, and has always been more pro-royal, and its share of benefits is also fixed.

The navy not only owns ships, but also has a large number of marines, which gives them the capital to bargain with other farmers.

 As he knew, the navy once again saw this as an opportunity to ask for money.

 But he had a hunch that it might not be that simple.

 A few hours later, the sea outside Danian Mansion.

 Six ships came quickly from the north, including two old-fashioned destroyers with a displacement of more than a thousand tons, a patrol boat, a minesweeper, and two torpedo boats.

Discovering the enemy's appearance, Wang Weizhong immediately became vigilant and ordered to occupy a favorable position in advance.

At the same time, use radio to notify the gunship in the air to enter the predetermined position.

 Twenty minutes later, on the bridge of the Laizhou, the captain reported that the other party had requested a call.

Wang Weizhong looked at his watch expressionlessly, waved his hand and said: "No need, our gunships are already in place, ready to fight!"

 At the same time, the Siamese boat on the other side was still waiting leisurely for a call.

They don’t think there will really be a fight. The worst they can do is confront each other here and then negotiate from above.

 They had similar frictions with Malay in the past, and it was mostly the same routine.

However, this time is different. The so-called "warning letter" they issued previously has closed the door to negotiation.

When it comes, Du Fei’s order to Wang Weizhong is: Don’t have any worries and beat me really hard.

 Wang Weizhong highly respected and even worshiped this legendary cousin-in-law.

From a grassroots background, without father or mother, he managed to break into such a big situation in just a few years.

If this was placed in ancient times, he would definitely be the same figure as Liu Bang and Zhu Yuanzhang.

 With Du Fei's explanation, Wang Weizhong didn't waste any time and went straight to his mother's business.

 “Boom, boom, boom~”

The three destroyers opened fire again. The sailors on the ships were all well-trained. In addition, the continuous feeding of shells in the past few months had honed the skills of the gunners on the ship.

Before, the fixed target for attacking the shore was not visible, but now it is reflected ship-to-ship, ship-to-ship.

Although these sailors under Du Fei are still immature in terms of experience and tactical thinking, in terms of training alone, they are definitely quite good.

 At least a lot higher than the one on the opposite side.

 The first round of shooting hit a destroyer on the opposite side, and the main gun on the bow of the ship was blown away in an instant.

 Other shells hit the water, but they were not far from the target.

 At the same time, the roar of the WJ-8 engine came from the sea to the south from far to near.

There are six gunships in total, and the sounds of twelve coaxial counter-rotating turboprop engines are mixed together. As the distance gets closer and closer, the height decreases rapidly and the sound becomes louder and louder.
