Rebirth of the Flying Era

 Speaking of which, the Pahlavi king has accomplished something. With the help of America, he drove away the Sulian garrison.

 Later, oil production was used to enable the Persian Kingdom's economy to experience rapid development for more than ten years.

 It is a pity that due to problems with the distribution system, the fruits of these economic developments did not bring much benefit to ordinary people. Coupled with some of his unpopular orders, he eventually became the last king.

But at this point in time, His Majesty Barley is still high-spirited and ambitious.

 With its strong strength on paper, it is trying to become a regional hegemon with a decisive voice in the Middle East and the Indian Ocean region.

 This is why his heart was so excited after seeing the actual machine of Yun-9.

 Because only a large aircraft of this level can be worthy of the status of the Persian Kingdom and his personal ambitions.

However, even if the relationship with America was good, America would not be able to sell him this kind of strategic transport aircraft, let alone Sulian.

Moreover, just buying it still couldn't satisfy Barley's ambition. He proposed to Du Fei that he hoped to follow the model of Libya and establish an assembly factory for aircraft and tanks in Persia.

However, the situation in Persia and Libya is different. Libya does not have any industrial base, and although its area is large, its population is very small. If you include flowers and fruits, the millions of people are at the county level.

Persia is a large country with an area of ​​nearly two million square kilometers and a population of tens of millions.

And it has a certain industrial base. If it really builds aircraft and tank factories, it will definitely give a great boost to Persian industry.

Under normal circumstances, Du Fei would never agree to such a request, but he knew very well about the Kingdom of Persia that His Majesty Barley would never be able to fulfill his ambition.

 In a few years, His Majesty the King will be overthrown and forced to go into exile.

 At that time, the agreements reached now will naturally not count.

 What Du Fei has to do is to try to get as many real machine benefits from the Kingdom of Persia before this time comes.

Du Fei agreed immediately, which surprised both Lingba Lie and the king and his wife.

Du Fei smiled and said: "I believe that under the leadership of Your Majesty, a powerful and prosperous Persian Kingdom will become the most powerful partner of Huaguo and the cornerstone of maintaining peace in Asia."

This kind of compliment is listed as a king, but Du Fei is unusual after all.

According to the investigation by the intelligence department of the Kingdom of Persia, the previous King Pumi Bang of Siam was killed by Du Fei.

 For such a person, even though he is a king, he is not qualified to maintain a high profile.

 The attitudes of both parties were confirmed, and the conversation was even more enjoyable.

 Details still need to be negotiated by professionals, and Du Fei and Ba Lie do not need to do it themselves.

 Coming out of the king's palace, Du Fei and Zhu Ting took a car back to the hotel.

Zhu Ting was a little worried in the car: "Do you really want to cooperate with Persia and help them build an aircraft factory?"

 Du Fei smiled, knowing what she was worried about, and patted the back of her hand: "Don't worry, I know it in my heart. Building an airplane is not an aircraft model. If you just lay a solid foundation in a few years, you won't get results at all."

Zhu Ting understood this truth, but she was still worried: "Persia is not Libya."

Du Fei said: "Of course, but the hidden dangers in the Kingdom of Persia are even greater."

 Zhu Ting said in surprise: "What's the hidden danger?"

Du Fei said: "Don't look at it. The Persian Kingdom seems to be developing well now, but they all rely on petrodollars, and most of the profits are eaten by the compradors. The people at the bottom do not get much benefit, which brews dissatisfaction. In addition, You should keep an eye on the issue of comprehensive education. It will definitely change in five years at most."

Zhu Ting took a breath, she didn't expect Du Fei to come to such a shocking conclusion.

It's too shocking. At least the current Persian Kingdom looks like it is full of flowers, not to mention burning oil.

 Otherwise, the Asian Games would not be held.

 Is something really going to happen within five years?

Du Fei smiled and said nothing more, just asking her to wait and see.

 The next day, Du Fei and Zhu Ting visited Dehelan.

Although they came with the Huaguo delegation, they actually had no specific work. There were dedicated people in charge there.

Du Fei's meeting with King Barley and his wife yesterday was already the most important task this time.

But at noon, I happened to meet two Asians at a famous Persian restaurant. It was Yamada Masaya and Takeda Kumaji who had seen Y-9 at the airport before.

“Dusan, Ms. Zhu Ting, it’s nice to meet you two.” Yamada Masaya smiled, bowed slightly, and introduced himself.

Du Fei smiled and said, "Hello, Mr. Yamada." He shook hands with the two of them.

As for coincidence, Du Fei didn't believe it. These two people obviously came to him with a purpose.

Du Fei didn’t shy away either.

As expected, Yamada Masaya immediately extended an invitation, hoping to have lunch together, and Du Fei happily agreed.

The four of them sat at the same table and had only tasted the food. Yamada Masaya quickly realized: "Mr. Du, you are an influential young politician in Huaguo. I sincerely hope that you can consider the well-being of the people of the two countries and use You have to influence and promote the relationship between the two parties to return to normal as soon as possible."

Du Fei chuckled and said "Oh": "Mr. Yamada, how do you think my influence should be used? Your Excellency and Mr. Takeda might as well say it directly."

Yamada Masaya had enough time to say: "Mr. Du, I know that our two countries have a history that is unbearable to look back on in modern times. I am also very sorry in my heart. However, if we extend the time, in the longer history, the relationship between the East and the flowers and fruits will be different." Friendship is still the main focus, wars and conflicts are just side episodes, not the mainstream..."

Du Fei listened without comment. The other party had laid the groundwork so much that it was not difficult to guess what he wanted to express.

Sure enough, at the end of the sentence, Yamada Masaya paused, looked at Du Fei and said: "As for the conditions for establishing diplomatic relations, I wonder if we can accommodate them..."

Du Fei said with a faint smile: "How do you want to be accommodating, Mr. Yamada?"

Yamada Masaya sat up slightly and said: "Mr. Du, the international community has already reached a conclusion regarding war compensation, but I understand your position. We can make compensation, but it must be under a different name, such as interest-free loans or foreign aid. ."

"Interest-free loan, foreign aid." Du Fei sneered: "So I have to thank you~"

Yamada Masaya waved his hands quickly: "That's not what I meant, but you should know that we need elections. This... is all for elections."

He added: "And interest-free loans, even if they are called loans but after accounting for inflation, they will not need to be repaid after 20 or 30 years."

Du Fei curled his lips, naturally not believing his nonsense.

 The yen will appreciate several times in the next twenty years. If you use Toyo's interest-free loan now, you will have to pay back three or four times when you repay it in the future, even if there is no interest.

As for the reason for the election mentioned by Masaya Yamada, to put it bluntly, he just wants to be decent.

Du Fei had no intention of saving face for him, and sneered: "Mr. Yamada, my words may be ugly, but what does your election have to do with me? You want dignity~ But as a defeated country, what qualifications do you have to talk about dignity? I really want to If you want to be decent and straighten up, let’s get rid of America’s garrison first~”

 Yamada Masaya and Takeda Kumaji blushed instantly. Du Fei's words completely ignored the so-called foreign teacher etiquette.

Yamada Masaya’s face was as dark as water: “Mr. Du said this, don’t regret it in the future!”

"Regret?" Du Fei sneered and raised his hand to look at his watch: "Why do you make me regret it? If nothing else happens, in a few hours, at America's joint meeting, someone will bring up the issue of Hokkaido. A proposal to become independent from Ryukyu. If I were you, I would quickly think of a way and ask your master America for help." Yamada Masaya's face changed drastically, and he couldn't believe it.

Takeda Kumaji next to him also panicked.

Du Fei reached out and patted him on the shoulder: "Mr. Yamada, you Japanese people really don't have a long memory. Have you forgotten your own situation? In the past two years, you have made some money and you have forgotten about it. The money is just a temporary deposit for America. It’s in your hands and can be taken away at any time when needed…”

Yamada Masaya frowned. He no longer cared what Du Fei said. He stood up but did not forget to bow: "Sorry, Mr. Du, I have disturbed you today. I'll take my leave now."

 After saying that, he took Takeda Xiongji and left in a hurry.

Seeing them leaving, Zhu Ting smiled and said: "You really don't save any face."

Du Fei chuckled and said, "I'm not from your company, so I'm not that particular about what I say. Besides, I just expressed my attitude and position candidly."

 …

 A few hours later, it was late night in Dehelan and daytime in America.

　　Although it was late at night, Yamada Masaru was not asleep yet. He was waiting for news about America.

At this time, with a rapid knock on the door, Takeda Kumaji came in from outside with a telegram on his face solemnly.

Yamada Masaya's heart sank, and he knew it was not good news.

Takeda Kumaji handed over the telegram and said solemnly: "He didn't lie. Just half an hour ago, the representative from Inni..."

Yamada Masaya looked down at the telegram and had finished reading it quickly.

 The proposal was proposed by Yin Ni, and immediately received support from several fruit families in Southeast Asia.

At this moment, an old man in a suit pushed the door in from outside.

Yamada and Takeda immediately stood up and bowed, indicating that the old man was superior to them.

The old man glanced at the telegram in Yamada Masaya's hand and said calmly: "Have you received the news?"

 “Hai~” they both replied in unison.

The old man reached out and took the telegram, a flash of anger and helplessness flashed in his cloudy eyes.

But it only flashed by, and he regained his composure instantly, saying calmly: "Now I understand what it means for a weak country to have no diplomacy."

Yamada Masaru remained silent, but Takeda Kumaji was unconvinced and said: "We are not a weak country, our economy is the third in the world, we have top-notch technology, we..."

The old man didn't wait for him to finish speaking, and continued: "We are a defeated country~"

Takeda Kumaji was speechless for a moment.

Yamada Masaya was calmer, gritted his teeth and said: "Is there no other way, we can only accept Huaguo's request?"

The old man pursed his lips. In fact, he felt more uncomfortable than the two young people.

 As a veteran diplomat, he has experienced the glory days of the Eastern Empire.

At that time, it was too easy to be a diplomat in the East, especially when it came to flowers and fruits. No skills were required at all. Just making a request was enough.

But now... in a blink of an eye, his thoughts returned to reality: "We don't care whether we agree or not. It's up to America to decide. We just need to implement it. Do you understand~"

After hearing this, Yamada Masaya and Takeda Kumaji felt as if their energy and energy had been drained instantly, and their eyes dimmed.

 …

 Meanwhile, at White House in All Saints' Tunnel.

Commander Nick frowned slightly. He had just received the news that Yin Ni had launched an attack in the United Nations.

Everyone knows who is behind this.

Although Subian is still nominally the commander of Yin Ni, in fact he has completely taken orders from Du Fei.

Soon, officials including the Secretary of State and the Security Secretary of the Grand Commander were called over.

 After some discussions, Nick finally decided that the concerns of the ‘new friends’ on some historical issues must be properly respected.

 However, the amount of US$13.3 billion is too large and cannot be paid in full.

"Henry~" Nick tilted his head and looked at the Secretary of State: "I have to make a trip for you this time."

“Your Excellency, Commander, please rest assured that I will fulfill my mission.” Henry was full of confidence.

 …

  Half a month later, the Huaguo delegation completed all the Asian Games events and won a total of 120 medals, ranking second in the medal list.

 Although the first place is still Dongyang, the number of medals won is much lower than in the world before Du Fei traveled through.

 Compared with the triumphant athletes, Du Fei and Zhu Ting returned to the capital a week earlier.

After getting off the plane, Zhu Ting went straight home to see her children, while Du Fei was called over by Zhu's father.

 In fact, Du Fei and Zhu Ting came back early because of America's visit to the Secretary of State.

 The negotiations between the two parties were very efficient. When Du Fei came to Zhu's father's side, he saw the preliminary draft.

 After a quick glance, everything else was just minutiae. As for the amount of compensation, it was finally set at US$7.5 billion, which was roughly a 50% discount.

 But it is not a loss, after all, this money was not expected at all.

 Annual interest is 5%, payable in twenty years.

Dad Zhu smiled and said, "What do you think?"

Dad Zhu was also quite happy to have received such a large sum of money for nothing.

Although the country is not short of money for the time being, who would object to having more money? Let alone billions of dollars, which can solve many problems.

Du Fei suddenly thought and reminded: "Dad, everything else is fine, but the payment cannot be made in U.S. dollars, let them pay in Japanese yen."

 In Du Fei’s impression, the yen was appreciating from the 1970s to the 1990s.

 From the current price of more than 300 yen to one US dollar, it has been increased to 100 yen to one US dollar.

 With this exchange rate difference, you will get nothing for nothing.

Dad Zhu raised his eyebrows and instantly understood what Du Fei meant: "Do you think the Japanese yen will appreciate in the long term?"

Du Fei nodded: "This is inevitable. At present, Dongyang eats up most of America's overflow manufacturing industry, and the products are sold back to America, forming a huge surplus. America's capitalists will not watch this money fall into the hands of Dongyang people. inside."
