Rebirth of the Flying Era

 (Feeling better today, I took ibuprofen and finished a chapter)

Rockefeller Manor, even though it was late at night, the lights in the manor were still bright.

 Old Rockefeller, who usually leads a very regular life, did not sleep. He stood by the window in his study and kept praying in his heart.

He hoped that it was just an error, and good news would come soon. Rockefeller Jr.'s plane had landed safely. The previous loss of contact was just some technical failure.

 But as time goes by, this possibility becomes less and less.

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

The somewhat absent-minded old Locke Feile felt a chill in his heart and slowly closed his eyes.

If it’s good news, it’s definitely not a knock on the door like this. You may even come in without knocking.

 But now...the situation is definitely more dire.

 Old Rockefeller steeled himself and said "Come in."

　　It was his old housekeeper who opened the door. He walked in and said with a heavy face: "I'm very sorry, my master..."

 Although Old Rockefeller was mentally prepared, he still held on to a glimmer of hope, which was completely gone at this time.

 But he was not an ordinary person after all. He quickly calmed down and said in a deep voice: "What's going on?"

The old housekeeper recounted the news he had just received, and finally said: "According to the current situation, there should be a mechanical failure on the plane..."

 Old Rockefeller stood by the window, his face gloomier than the night outside the window.

"Mechanical failure?" Old Rockefeller repeated, but he didn't believe it at all. He said solemnly: "Let our people investigate and don't let go of any clues. Rockefeller cannot die because he is confused."

 “Yes~” The old housekeeper bowed and agreed.

 Old Rockefeller waved his hand and motioned for the butler to go out.

 He needs to be alone for a while now to think about it.

To say that it was a simple air crash, Old Rockefeller didn't believe anything. Why didn't it happen earlier and later? Why did it happen at this time?

The moment it was confirmed that Rockefeller Jr. was dead, the first thing he thought of was Nico.

 With Nico's strength and perseverance, he was indeed able to do such a thing.

 But it also depends on who the target is~ Don’t forget that Nico will leave office in two years. By then, Nico’s power and resources will be greatly reduced.

Don’t he think about his own future?

 Now that he is the commander-in-chief, he can certainly suppress Rockefeller, but what will happen in two years~

So old Rockefeller felt strange again. No rational person would do such a thing.

 Then Du Fei flashed through his mind again, but he immediately dismissed it.

Killing little Locke Feile will not do Du Fei any good, not to mention that the two parties have just reached a settlement.

More importantly, the arrogance deep in Old Rockefeller's heart made him think that Du Fei did not have the ability at all, let alone the courage to do such a thing in America.

Thinking about it, Nico is still more suspicious.

Thinking of this, Old Rockefeller's face was as dark as water, and a flash of murderous intent flashed in his eyes.

 No matter who it is, this account must be settled.

But at this moment, the old Rockefeller, who had always been in good health, suddenly felt a sharp pain in his heart. After all, he was an old man in his seventies. Coupled with the recent stress and fatigue, and suddenly hearing the bad news, his heart finally couldn't bear it.

 He frowned, pressed the call bell on the table, and was admitted to the hospital after a period of confusion.

At the other end, Zhizhi Bushi was shocked when he heard the news. He subconsciously thought that Nico might have done it.

Rockefeller's previous backstab really angered Nico. Although he finally passed the danger, it does not mean that the matter is over. Nico is not a fool. He can sit in the position of commander-in-chief, and during his tenure, he has always been very strong. , you may not do anything inappropriate when you are angry.

Jie Bushiyu and his wife looked at each other, both aware of this matter in their eyes.

 Lockefield killed important family members, and the biggest suspect turned out to be the commander-in-chief.

 If this matter cannot be properly handled, the future may not be what it will be like.

 Similarly, in All Saints' Village, Nico also learned about the situation.

Even he confirmed a few minutes ahead of the elder Rockefeller that the younger Rockefeller crashed and everyone on board died.

Nico was extremely sharp and realized the seriousness of the situation with his brows furrowed.

 No matter how others might suspect it, he himself knew that it was not him who did it. Although he hated Rockefeller's back stabbing, he was not mad enough to use this method.

What's more, he will leave office in more than two years. His rights have a shelf life, but Rockefeller's wealth does not.

 At that time, he will only be a former commander and will be completely unable to compete with Rockefeller.

This time it is possible to bankrupt Rockefeller's plan. There is no need to become a mortal enemy of Rockefeller. This is a very irrational approach.

 The question is, if he says no, will Rockefeller believe it?

 The answer is obvious. Not only Rockefeller, but also those powerful families are all of the same virtue. All they need is "I think it's you".

No matter how good his words are, it is impossible to believe him in his heart. This is why yellow mud falling in the crotch is not **** but shit.

Although there are no problems at the moment, when he steps down as commander-in-chief two years later, it will be time for Rockefeller to take revenge.

Nico couldn't help but rub his temples, racking his brains to think of how to break the situation.

 But it’s useless no matter how much you think about it.

 Because this is not just a question of Rockefeller not believing in him, but also a question of whether he believes in Rockefeller.

If he takes the initiative to communicate with Rockefeller, he means that he did not do it and he deeply regrets it.

Rockefeller also said, "Your Excellency, the Commander-in-Chief, I believe in you..."

So the question is, is it possible for Ni to believe in Rockefeller?

 Obviously impossible.

 So, the only thing he can do now is to try to build a firewall strong enough to ensure his security after leaving office during the rest of his term.

 Thinking of this, Nico felt even more headache.

 …

As the instigator of this incident, Du Fei was no longer in Nanyang when he learned the outcome of the incident.

 Took the K-8 plane and flew directly back to the capital from Kuching.

As usual, Du Fei went to report the situation to Dad Zhu as soon as he got off the plane.

 At the same time, I learned a surprising news from Dad Zhu. Dad Zhu is about to lead a team to visit America.

The reason why Du Fei was rushed back was because Dad Zhu planned to take him with him this time as a representative of industry and commerce.

Should it be said, with the development in the past few years, the company that best represents the development of Huaguo economy is Du Fei’s fire-fighting equipment company. Of course, this is just a way of saying that the real purpose of Dad Zhu’s taking Du Fei there is to support his son-in-law and let him see the real America.

 After coming out of Dad Zhu's place, Du Fei went home without stopping, and it was another reunion after a long absence.

 I returned to work the next day, and as usual I had a lot of work on hand.

First of all, it was the large aircraft over in Shanghai. After several test flights, it began long-distance test flights and flew from Shanghai to Beijing in one go. It is currently parked at the Beijing Aircraft Manufacturing Factory.

Dufey will definitely go over and take a look later.

This large aircraft is of great strategic significance. Compared with the Y-8, which has limited space and load capacity, this large transport aircraft uses four engines and has a load capacity of more than 60 tons. It can completely carry a heavy bomber full of bombs. Armored tanks.

 Another unexpected development is that Anyang Steel actually produced a batch of gun steel with excellent various indicators and parameters!

 Originally, it would take a few more years for domestic gun steel to make a breakthrough. Now it seems that some things are not static. Now, because of the emergence of Du Fei, the context of many things has changed. It is not surprising that some changes have occurred.

Others are no big deal, and all factories are producing step by step.

 As for the University of Fire Protection Technology, as the Spring Festival is over and the weather begins to warm up, large-scale construction of the new campus has begun.

　　Currently, classes are still being taught at the original technical school, but the brand and seal have been changed. In addition, Du Fei has invited expert professors from various places, so the courses taught are very different from the original ones.

The thousand or so people who were originally enrolled in the school are getting a big deal. According to the current regulations, the schooling system will be extended by two years, and upon graduation, a university diploma will be issued.

 From now on, if you want to get in, you will have to pass the formal college entrance examination.

 …

Until this day, Du Fei has almost finished the work at hand, and the next step is to go to America with Dad Zhu in a few days.

 Another thing is to look at the aircraft manufacturer and modify a K-8 passenger plane.

How could Du Fei give up this opportunity to promote his products? This time Dad Zhu will go to America, and he will definitely take the K-8 passenger plane.

However, the maximum range of the K-8 is only 8,000 kilometers. It cannot fly there in one go. Fuel tanks must be attached to increase the range of the aircraft.

 Fortunately, there is no technical difficulty.

And after the modification was completed, Du Fei took the opportunity to take the aircraft into his personal space and check it to make sure there were no problems.

 However, it was only a few days before leaving, but something happened at this moment.

At about nine o'clock in the morning, Du Fei received a call from Zhu's father asking him to come over without saying anything.

Du Fei didn't dare to neglect and drove over immediately. Unexpectedly, Zhu's father was not there. He waited for more than ten minutes before coming back from outside.

 “Xiao Fei, here we come~” Dad Zhu walked into the office.

Du Fei followed and asked, "Dad, what happened?"

Dad Zhu picked up a piece of paper from the table and handed it over: "Just received the news."

Du Fei took it and glanced at it quickly, and said in surprise: "Is Portugal changing?"

This incident did not surprise Du Fei too much, but the time when it happened was a little different. In his mind, it seemed to be a month later.

 For some unknown reason, the time has advanced.

Dad Zhu said: "They proposed to give up all overseas colonies, including Omen. What do you think?"

  Portugal’s abandonment of overseas colonies has been exaggerated by many people as a model of its own evil, but in Dufy’s view, it was nothing more than a helpless move.

With the current national strength and situation of Portugal, it is impossible to hold on to these colonies. As long as there is a glimmer of hope to hold on, Portugal will not give up voluntarily.

  But whether we should say it or not, this matter is a good thing for us.

 Different from Xiangjiang, in 1887, Portugal signed a 40-year lease with the former Qing Dynasty. After the expiration of the treaty, Aomen was permanently managed by Portugal.

Without this time, Portugal would have taken the initiative to give up all its colonies, and it would have been very likely that Portugal would argue over the Austrian issue in the future.

 It’s just that there are many technical difficulties in recovering Omen now.

 The first thing is the attitude. There is no war or even begging. If someone takes the initiative to return the money, there must always be some dignity left.

 But without taking drastic measures, some problems cannot be solved at all.

For example, there are institutional issues, and then there are the Portuguese people in Austria and their government officials. How to deal with and retain these people? It doesn’t seem appropriate, get rid of it? Not very appropriate either.

 In short, there are so many problems, all of which are problems.

 The most important thing is that this incident was completely sudden, without any warning in advance, which caught people off guard.

　　Even Father Zhu had no idea for a moment, so he called Du Fei to ask for advice.

 Based on past experience, Du Fei often has unexpected insights when encountering this kind of situation.

Facing Dad Zhu’s inquiry, Du Fei was not busy talking, and his mind was thinking quickly.

 Dad Zhu was not busy and waited patiently.

It wasn't until Du Fei drank two cups of tea that he finally calmed down and said, "Dad, I think this is a good opportunity! Based on the existing conditions and historical reasons, we basically don't have to think about Uliasu. There are only...these three places."

Dad Zhu listened carefully. Originally he just wanted to discuss the matter, but he didn't expect Du Fei to raise his tone so high when he opened his mouth.

Du Fey continued: "The death knell of colonialism sounded long ago when Britain and France were forced to return the Suez Canal. Returning colonies is a general trend and no one can stop it..."

Dad Zhu nodded. He knew this better than Du Fei. Even though his relationship with America was good now, it was all about taking advantage of the situation and each party got what they needed. Fundamentally, it was impossible for America to give up on Yizhou. trump card.

Du Fei added: "But taking it back is not the end but the beginning. Once those two places are back in our hands, some people will pick up a magnifying glass to compare..."

This is exactly the crux of the matter.

 The industrial structure of Austria is deformed. After the return, almost all the current pillar industries should be cut down, and economic regression is almost certain.

Dad Zhu sighed, if it really happened like that, the negative impact would be even greater.

 At present, after the discussion above, it seems that most comrades feel that we should be cautious.

Du Fei paused: "Dad, I think we don't need to be too strict about this matter..."

Dad Zhu raised his eyebrows: "How do you say it?"

Du Fei said: "Since we know that there may be a pit here, the safest way is definitely not to continue the fight, but in that case we will miss a golden opportunity. I would say that we can follow the example of the autonomous region and have a certain degree of sovereignty and governance. Separation...we take back our sovereignty, station troops, and collect taxes. For other things, we can let them continue as usual. As long as we don't participate, it will be difficult to make a fuss about this and attack our system."

Dad Zhu narrowed his eyes slightly, knowing that the situation between the autonomous region and Du Fei was not comparable.

Du Fei also knew it in his heart, but it was not difficult to confuse the two, one could have the other, and it would reduce a lot of resistance.

Dad Zhu pondered slightly: "This... is not a bad idea."

Du Fei said: "If there are no big problems in Aomen, it can be applied to Xiangjiang in the future."
