Rebirth of the Flying Era

Subian's purpose is obvious, that is, he hopes to introduce Du Fei as a new third-party force to provide him with a certain degree of help and deter the local factions in Sumatra.

Even for this purpose, he offered Du Fei a bigger bargaining chip to form a new tripartite balance.

 At that time, even if his strength is the weakest and he is in the most unfavorable state, he can become a weight to balance the other two parties and prevent him from being eliminated.

 Du Fei also saw that Subian was really anxious once Kuching, represented by Du Fei, projected its influence to Sumatra.

Although it can suppress local factions in the short term, it will definitely not be beneficial to Subian in the long term. This is an act of drinking poison to quench thirst.

 The reason Subian made this decision now was obviously because he was sure that if he didn't do this, there would be no future for him.

Rather than that, it is better to bring Du Fei in now, and in exchange for benefits, he can get some benefits. At least Du Fei's eating appearance is not so ugly, and the full bowl of food will leave him a mouthful of soup to drink.

However, Subian never expected that in his opinion, most of the interests had been given away. As long as Du Fei agreed, it would be a matter of course. Unexpectedly, Du Fei showed no interest after hearing what he said.

After thinking for a long time, he was able to calm down and said: "Su, I am a man of faith. I said that Sumatra will be yours, so I can't go back on my promise and make myself fat..."

Subian's eyes widened slightly, and he wondered if his ears had heard it wrong.

 What kind of **** ‘faithful person’, am I a kindergarten kid? Or did the tiger suddenly become a vegetarian?

　　　Join me and hurry up here, begging for Sumatra to be sent to you, but you are not willing to ask for it.

  What kind of **** situation is this?

If it weren't for Du Fei's presence, Subian almost gave himself a big mouth to see if he was still awake.

"Mr. Du, I..." He calmed down and spoke quickly to persuade.

But Du Fei interrupted: "I understand what you mean, but principles are principles. If we make an exception this time, how will we win people's trust in the future? We both know what's going on, but what do others think? What do they think? This kind of thing is even considered If you say that you took the initiative and voluntarily, how many people will believe it? Outsiders will only look at the results."

 At this point, Du Fei took a deep look at Subian and said calmly: "The result is that I promised that Sumatra will be yours, but then I broke my promise. This is an irrefutable result."

Subian is speechless. Does what Du Fei said make sense? Of course it makes sense, but he always feels that this matter is not that simple.

If Du Fei really didn't want to get involved, there was no need to waste time and spit on him telling him such nonsense.

Now not only did he say it, but he also invited him to come and have tea face to face, which shows that he is still valuable in Du Fei's eyes.

Thinking of this, Subian was a little flustered and calmed down again.

Should I say it or not, Subian can definitely be regarded as a momentary hero for being able to reach this point. If it were an ordinary person, facing the same situation, he would have been in trouble.

 Subian calmed down, knowing that Du Fei must have more to say.

 In fact, Du Fei did have deeper considerations, which had nothing to do with "honesty" and "high integrity".

 But the input-output ratio of setting foot in Sumatra at this time is not high.

 Speaking of which, if it was really easy to do over there, would Subian be willing to give up so many benefits?

If that's all, it's nothing to Du Fei. After all, his strength is here, and things that Subian can't handle may not be impossible in his hands.

But Du Fei is more concerned about the special location of Sumatra. This large island located in the southwest of the Indochina Peninsula happens to guard one side of the Strait of Malacca. To the west of Sumatra is the Indian Ocean. Its strategic location is quite important.

Not everyone can get their hands on this kind of place. It's a choke point and it's very difficult to guard the east and west. It was quite difficult for Du Fei to take over the Guixu Islands and join the Strait Management Committee.

If Sumatra is captured again now, it will definitely affect the sensitive nerves of many people.

 Many people would not like to see this result, including America and Sulian.

If Du Fei really dares to reach out, he will definitely be attacked by multiple forces. In the end, he will probably steal the chicken but lose the rice.

 Anticipating this situation, Du Fei certainly couldn't reach out rashly. He couldn't resist the temptation and jumped into the pit himself. It would not be easy to climb out by then.

However, this matter is also a rare opportunity for Du Fei. If Subian hadn't made a wrong move before and pinned his hope on Yingguo's stinky chess basket to get himself involved, it would not have ended up like this. Come and ask for Du Fei.

It would be a pity to give up this opportunity in vain.

What's more, Du Fei hasn't gotten any real benefits from the last transaction between Du Fei and Subian.

 Last time, Du Fei nominally recognized Subian's rule in West Java and Sumatra, and Subian transferred the legal legitimacy of Inni to Du Fei.

 In fact, Du Fei only got the name of "orthodoxy", which has no meaning.

The real value of this thing is that it can legitimately allow Du Fei to take certain actions in order to obtain greater benefits and territory.

 Otherwise, this so-called name has no value and is just a false name.

 Previously, Du Fei had never figured out how to make good use of this name.

 He is also too busy. He was in Siam before and then went to the Middle East non-stop.

These are important matters that cannot be delayed. Du Fei has no time to think about this issue in depth.

 On the contrary, this time when I returned to China, I had time to read and think about some issues.

 For Du Fei, territory is undoubtedly the most important resource. However, it is unrealistic to obtain the actual jurisdiction of the original Indian islands just based on the name obtained from Subian.

 Let alone him, even when Suharto was in his prime, he only had nominal jurisdiction in many places and had no real ability to do justice.

What's more, after Suharto's death, this authority had long ceased to exist in name only, otherwise Subian would not have fallen into the current predicament.

If Du Fei wants to get something more practical, this name is just a prerequisite. In the final analysis, he has to fight through it before he can get it.

 The problem is that we are no longer in the colonial era, let alone the era of World War I and World War II when might was right.

 Now within the framework of joint results, power must be wrapped in a warm and tender skin of justice.

 So, war must be the last resort.

 Because once troops are sent out, there will be too much movement and too many variables.

 Once a war begins, no one can claim 100% victory.

Especially in these islands in Southeast Asia, the terrain is quite complex and there are rainforests everywhere, making them the most suitable for guerrilla warfare.

 Once at a critical moment, other forces intervene and secretly create troubles behind the scenes, whether it is America, Sulian, or the declining Yingguo, they will be enough to make Du Fei drink a pot.

 So Du Fei decided from the beginning to try not to use war methods.

As for the previous stay in Siam, it was because of Gu Dan's internal support. Du Fei's so-called sending troops was more of a deterrent.

This is also the reason why, after Du Fei took over the airport, he transported more than 10,000 people in one go and mobilized troops to demonstrate his capabilities, but he never mobilized on a large scale.

But this time Subian came to the door, and Du Fei suddenly had an idea in his heart.

Subian saw that Du Fei had not spoken for a long time. Although he judged in his heart that he was still valuable to Du Fei, he was still uneasy.

This is the power of silence. The more silent the party with the advantage in the negotiation is, the easier it is for the disadvantaged party to get into trouble.

Although Subian will not be in trouble, he still has to show a soft attitude at this time. This is what the so-called situation is stronger than the person.

He said with a bitter face: "Mr. Du, I beg you to help... no, please save me! As long as you are willing to take action, I only need 10% of Sumatra's rights and interests. What do you think?"

Subian was quite willing to pay for this condition.

 According to the current situation, although he is at a disadvantage there, he has a lot of advantages.

 Giving over half of the money to Du Fei in one go was a sign of considerable sincerity.

Unexpectedly, Du Fei still frowned and said, "That's not what I meant."

Subian hurriedly said: "I understand..."

"You don't understand~" Du Fei waved his hand and interrupted: "Look, why are you in a hurry? We have something to talk about slowly. I didn't say I wouldn't help you."

Subian secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He was so out of proportion just now, and it was half-truth and half-false, and he was acting for Du Fei.

 Equivalent to the lower wolf in a pack of wolves, lying on the ground with his belly exposed to express submission.

 The implication is, you see that I am like this, I am really convinced.

 As to whether it is true or not, only he himself knows clearly.

Du Fei continued: "But I really have no interest in Sumatra!" Subian was not a novice at Zhengzhi, and now he could see that Du Fei was not being polite when he said he was not interested, but he really didn't want to get involved in Sumatra.

This made him feel quite complicated. While secretly breathing a sigh of relief, his heart also lifted.

He breathed a sigh of relief because he still had hope to regain Sumatra, but he was worried that the value of Sumatra would be greatly reduced by Du Fei.

Subian didn't know what to say, so he could only look at Du Fei and wait for his next words.

　　We are all sensible people. What Du Fei said is definitely not nonsense.

Du Fei continued: "Su, we can be considered our own people. You came to me this time just because you are out of power in Sumatra and want to introduce a third-party force that can check and balance local forces. Am I right?"

Subian nodded, there was nothing wrong with admitting it, this was what he came for.

Du Fei said: "Although I can't do what you want now, I can help you introduce another checking and balancing force..."

Subian's head was shaking, but he felt even more uneasy. He didn't know what Du Fei would say next.

 Actually, it would be a good thing for Soubian if another side enters the game instead of Du Fei.

 Comparatively, Du Fei's power is too strong. Once Du Fei enters the game, even if the situation is stabilized, Subian's future maneuverable space will be completely compressed.

 He came to Du Fei because he had no other choice.

Unexpectedly, Du Fei came up with this proposal, which logically should play into Subian's mind.

But Subian understands that there is no perfect good thing in this world. Many things often look beautiful on the surface, but in fact they contain deadly poison.

Du Fei was not in a hurry to express his idea. Instead, he calmly said, "But this method will probably cost a lot of money. I don't know if you are willing or not."

Subian licked his lips and thought to himself, "You can tell me what method you want to use!" If you don’t tell me, how can I know if I am willing or not?”

 But Subian is not stupid and would not say such things.

Du Fei asked him if he was willing. He had to be willing if he was willing, and he had to be willing if he wasn't. There was no choice at all.

Who makes him weak! Who asked him to ask for help~

Subian was worried and said solemnly: "It's all up to Mr. Du's arrangement. I will definitely act as ordered."

Du Fei laughed, still very satisfied with Subian's attitude.

 From the tacit understanding at the beginning, to the calculations against each other later, until now Subian has given in.

 Du Fei has never underestimated this person. No matter in terms of ability, means, or brilliance and strategy, Subian is extraordinary.

 The fact that we have reached this point today is just due to circumstances.

Du Fei continued: "The root of your problem in Sumatra is that local forces are united, and you lack the checking and balancing power at the grassroots level..."

Dufey analyzes Subian’s advantages and disadvantages in Sumatra.

Subian nodded silently. Du Fei was right, but it didn't matter. These were all obvious.

 Now he is more concerned about how Du Fei plans to solve the problem.

He heard that Du Fei was determined not to get involved in the chaos in Sumatra.

As for the reason, Subian could guess to some extent, but he felt that the situation was not that serious.

  After all, neither America nor Sulian had clearly shown a strong interest in Sumatra before.

He didn't quite understand why Du Fei was so cautious. Based on Du Fei's past behavior style, he would be the first to disagree if Du Fei was timid.

Du Fei continued: "Do you think, at this time, if one million people can be injected into Sumatra, will the situation change?"

Subian's heart trembled. He didn't understand what Du Fei meant. If he understood it literally, a million people would suddenly flood into Sumatra...

Subian swallowed and immediately thought of Du Fei and Lin Tiansheng transporting people from China to Borneo.

Before this, if someone had told him that more than 10 million people could be transported from one place to thousands of miles away in just a few months, Subian would not have believed it. But now...there is a precedent. Nothing is impossible.

 But on second thought, Subian denied the possibility of Du Fei wanting to do it again.

 Because the situation in Sumatra is completely different from that in Borneo.

 At the beginning, Borneo was already under the control of Du Fei and Lin Tiansheng, and those who came did not pose much of a security threat. They only needed to consider the issue of resettlement.

Sumatra is much more complicated. If you really want to send a large number of people by force, unpredictable conflicts will definitely occur.

 Once there are a large number of casualties, no one can bear the responsibility.

 So, it is impossible for Du Fei to transport people from the country, so where do the "hundred people" Du Fei mentioned come from?

 It can’t be conjured out of thin air~

　　At this point, Du Fei didn't mince words anymore, and finally came to a conclusion. While gesturing with his hands, he said in a deep voice: "You said, if we move the people from Sulawe Island to Sumatra..."

Subian's eyes widened slightly, a little in disbelief.

Sulawesi, located east of Borneo, is the eleventh largest island in the world, with a population of nearly four million.

Subian used it as a bargaining chip before and wanted to give this big island to Du Fei, but Du Fei refused.

Unexpectedly, Du Fei took the initiative to bring it up this time.

Du Fei finished speaking and looked at Subian meaningfully.

 Both of them are smart people. Subian thought about it quickly and figured it out quickly.

Du Fei clearly wants the land but not the people.

Subian said before that Sulawe Island would be given to Du Fei, but it was just a mouthful and had no practical meaning at all.

 Because the island is similar to Sumatra and is also occupied by many local forces.

 Du Fei is definitely a hot potato if he really wants it, not to mention that there was no population migration at that time, and the situation in Borneo was far more complicated than it is now.

 With internal instability, Du Fei certainly cannot expand outward rashly.

 But now, the situation is different. Borneo has stabilized. With the fertility of flower people in this era, the 15 million people can become 30 million in at most 20 to 30 years.

 The reason why Du Fei agreed to the deal with Subian and obtained the orthodox name of Yin Ni was for the next step.

 Not just Sulawe, but also further east, the Maru Islands and Papua.

If these places are taken down, it will be equivalent to inheriting nearly 70% of the original land.

 The question is how to take it down, and how to effectively govern it after it is taken down.

Subian's thoughts were also spinning rapidly. If it was as Du Fei said, it would definitely be good for him to get the Sulawesi people to Sumatra.

This has the same meaning as introducing Du Fei, which is to introduce an external force that is incompatible with the local forces in Sumatra.

And compared to the strong Du Fei, this force is definitely weaker. To compete with the local forces in Sumatra, it must cooperate with the originally weak Subian.

 But the question is, how can we get people from Sulawesi to Sumatra?

 That's not 100,000 or 80,000. Even if it's only one-third, it's still more than a million people.

 How to mobilize, how to relocate, how to transport, and how to resettle after arriving? These are not problems that Subian can solve.

 But having said that, putting aside these problems, if this thing can be done, the benefits to Subian will be equally huge.

If in Sumatra, Subian could control not only a million people, but only a few hundred thousand people, and still be able to change the local situation.

 Those local factions in Sumatra are not the same, but each has its own interests.

Subian looked at Du Fei.

Du Fei had no expression on his face, and he didn't feel confident in his heart.

 He didn’t think deeply about this idea, he just had an idea.

He thought for a moment and said: "I heard that there is a particularly famous volcano on Sulawesi Island. What is it called? It just erupted a few years ago..."

"Sophtan Volcano?" Subian blinked quickly, swallowed a mouthful of spit, looked at Du Fei and said: "Mr. Du, you...what do you want to do?"

 (Sorry, I was bragging yesterday!)
