Rebirth of the Flying Era

 Another week has passed since the last conversation in the gazebo.

 After that time, Du Fei had vaguely seen some clues.

The three people who came that day, except Sister Li and Lin Yuqing, specially called Li Chunpeng, who was not familiar with Du Fei and was even meeting for the first time, which actually explained some problems.

 In addition to representing himself, Du Fei also represents Zhu’s father’s attitude to a certain extent.

Although Dad Zhu’s qualifications and ranking are not high, his achievements in economic construction make him a force that cannot be ignored.

 More importantly, Dad Zhu’s age and position make him on the outside to some extent.

 As for the subsequent impact, it is not yet clear.

 During this period, there was even more turmoil outside.

 The first is Avhan.

After Su Lian suddenly took action and destroyed the Ba Lie dynasty in an unexpected way, America followed the principle of never doing indignity in return, and immediately returned the favor in Afhan, scattering a lot of dollars to fund freedom. group.

 At the same time, they secretly connected with the tribal warlords in the north and suddenly launched a positive change.

Probably deliberately to show off her strength to the outside world, America almost copied Sulian's methods in Persia in Afhan in a short period of time.

 Kabul suddenly changed color.

This round allowed the whole world to see the terrifying power of these two behemoths.

Du Fei's heart skipped a beat when he learned of this situation.

Originally, he thought that Su Lian suddenly took action and detonated Persia's Ge Ming in advance, which would lead the situation in a different direction.

 But history itself seems to have a huge inertia, and despite many deviations in time and circumstances, something went wrong with Afhan.

 The next step depends on the decision of Comrade Polezhny in Moscow.

 Speaking of which, Mosco still has the upper hand this time.

Although the total score seems to be one to one, there is no comparison between Afhan and Persia.

America suffered a huge loss during this period. In order to cope with the loss of Persia, she had to increase her investment in Babylon.

But having said that, Sulian’s advantage is only on paper, but it is even more difficult to implement in practice.

 Looking at the overall situation, after losing Persia, America immediately sought compensation from Babylon.

Kesu Lian was embarrassed after losing Afhan.

To the southeast of Afhan is Bakistan, which has a close relationship with America, and to the west is Persia.

Although Sulian had previously supported Persia's rule, Persia was a sectarian leader, not a class leader.

 The result is that although Persia broke away from America, it did not join the Rapid Alliance camp.

To the north is Sulian himself.

In addition, there is a ‘Wakhan Corridor’ that is 400 kilometers long and only 15 kilometers wide, connecting Huaguo to the east.

This is also why in the world before Dufy's time travel, after problems occurred in Kabul, Mosco chose to end it himself.

 It’s not a matter of bellicosity or arrogance, it’s that they have no other cards to play except the ‘king bomb’.

If you look at it from this perspective, in this wave of one-for-one swaps, Sulian has forced itself into a corner.

 But these are all pushed forward from the ending.

From the perspective of Moscow’s decision-makers, if Afhan is successfully defeated this time, the next step is to use the internal routes between Pakistan and Persia to easily open the seaport to the Indo Ocean.

 This is the long-cherished wish of the East Slavs that lasted for hundreds of years from the time of Tsarist Russia.

How could Comrade Polezhne remain indifferent in the face of this temptation?

 …

 In addition, another hot spot is still the battlefield of Chenla.

Just a few days after the incident in Kabul, a strangulation battle of unprecedented scale broke out on the southern front of Chenla.

 Since the Vietnamese army changed generals, this was the largest attack launched by Huang Wen.

After gaining battlefield air superiority with the MiG-25, Du Fei transferred the Kuching due to the conflict with Austria.

 The coalition forces lost their firepower advantage near the coast, which allowed the Vietnamese army to seize the opportunity to use the roads near the coast to gather superior forces.

There was no sneak attack or strategy in this battle, it was just an honest push and a hard fight.

Huang Wen did not hide anything, and Lin Tiansheng also responded with serious troops. On the front line less than 50 kilometers south of Chenla, the two sides concentrated more than 200,000 troops and thousands of cannons of various calibers to engage in a desperate fight.

 In just three days, massive casualties were caused.

The fierce fighting lasted for a week, with the Vietnamese army suffering 40,000 casualties and the Allied forces losing nearly 50,000 people.

This was not because Lin Tiansheng suffered a defeat, but because the troops mobilized from all over Siam were so weak that they often needed twice as many people to withstand the Vietnamese attack.

 Among the casualties of the coalition forces, fully 35,000 were from the Siamese army, and the remaining 13,000 were direct descendants of Du Fei and Lin Tiansheng.

Among them, there were about 4,000 casualties on Du Fei's side and 9,000 on Lin Tiansheng's side. Among them, 3,000 were killed in battle. The remaining 5,000 were slightly injured and could recover. They will be recuperating in Siam, leaving more than 4,000. Those with serious injuries were transported back to Kuching by plane. After training, they would be arranged to become police officers or work in the logistics department of the army.

 …

 After the fierce fighting broke out, Du Fei arrived in Kuching as soon as possible.

Everyone knows that after this war, regardless of victory or defeat, there will be a lot of things, and there must be someone who can directly make decisions.

 After learning the result, Du Fei secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Lin Tiansheng did not disappoint. Without gunships and bombers in the air, and without naval gun support at sea, he was engaged in ground battles openly. Facing the superior strength of Huang Wen and the enemy, he still performed quite steadily.

Lin Tiansheng's performance this time, commanding a major battle involving more than 100,000 people, was at a disadvantage overall. Lin Tiansheng's lower limit was quite high. Although he did not have that kind of dazzling magic touch, it was enough to prove his military ability. Reached a very high level.

Looking at the opposite side, although the Vietnamese army suffered less losses on paper than the coalition forces, they felt even more uncomfortable.

 First of all, their objectives for launching the campaign were not achieved.

Originally Huang Wen believed that after losing his air and sea advantages, he could take the opportunity to defeat Lin Tiansheng and drive the so-called Nanyang Weihe troops out of Chenla.

At that time, their previously scheduled plan to completely take back the former French colony will become a reality.

As a result, after the battle, the battle was still on the original dividing line. The offensive and defensive battles were lively. At last glance, they were still in the same place.

 The other is the plan to sow discord.

Huang Wen took over from Ruan Xiongqi before, and soon discovered that the Borneo troops in the coalition army were obviously more elite, and in comparison, the people in Siam were mixed.

 This gave him the idea to attack the Siamese in a special position this time. This is also the reason why Siamese casualties were so high.

 It is hoped that through this move, Siam's determination to fight will be defeated, thereby breaking away from Du Fei and Lin Tiansheng.

Once Siam, which has sent the second largest number of troops, is left behind, the so-called Nanyang Weihe troops will not be far from failure.

 But he miscalculated that the situation inside Siam was far more complicated than he expected.

 Such a large number of casualties is exactly what Gu Dan likes to see.

The more people die at this time, the more people who are in his faction but secretly stand on their own will be consumed. But on this matter, those people dared to be angry but dared not speak out. Dare to confront Gu Dan at this time is to oppose the Nanyang intimidation force.

That is a ready-made army of hundreds of thousands!

 …

 At Kuching Airport, a huge Y-9 transport aircraft spread its wings like a roc and landed slowly on the airport runway.

There are two more behind this, a total of three Y-9 large transport aircraft, all of which Du Fei borrowed from China, specifically responsible for transporting the ashes of soldiers who died on the front line.

On the ground, people from all walks of life and journalists who had been waiting for a long time were watching the giant plane land.

 Many people couldn't help but marvel when they saw Yun-9 for the first time.

Today, senior officials from all of Kuching, including Pontianak, were present.

 The ceremony was so grand that it was broadcast through radio and television, and the signals could be received including flowers and fruits.

A huge stage was set up next to the airport. As the titular queen of Kuching, Julie stood on the stage dressed up.

As the Prime Minister, Chen Fangshi stood in the audience and waited for the plane to stop. He would be the first to get on the plane and support the coffin...

 In short, these warriors who sacrificed their lives on the battlefield will receive great honors when they return.

 The ashes will eventually be buried in the cemetery next to the Guandi Temple.

In addition, the death pension is 5,000 yuan per person, which is about 2,000 U.S. dollars when converted into U.S. dollars. Minor children are raised by the government until they reach adulthood, and the three generations above are exempt from personal taxes...

As the ceremony progressed, various pension policies were announced, which shocked the entire Southeast Asia with radio broadcasts and newspapers.

 Not to mention anything else, the death and disability pensions this time alone amounted to more than 20 million US dollars.

This money is certainly nothing in America, but in Nanyang, including Huaguo, it is definitely a huge sum of money.

 It requires a state worker to work for fifteen years without food or water.

 This is what Du Fei wants.

 As the old saying goes, there must be a brave man under a heavy reward. Spending money without giving up fighting in the outside world will definitely not work.

Moreover, the nature of this war is different from those of previous wars.

 Originally, if you don’t fight hard, you will perish, but this time it is different.

 After several hours of ritual completion, everyone except Du Fei was exhausted.

Du Fei also breathed a sigh of relief.

 After the ceremony, the second batch of soldiers heading to the Chenla battlefield to replenish the troops will set off.

This operation instantly boosted morale.

 …

 After this battle, as 1975 came to an end, neither side started another war.

After more than a year, Hanoi has clearly seen that it is impossible to achieve substantial progress on the battlefield unless a large-scale increase in troops is carried out.

But if we increase our troops, won’t the other side also increase our troops?

 So far, they have invested a total of more than 200,000 people on the Chenla battlefield.

Although after forcing America away, Yue Guo was known as a million-strong soldier.

But in a non-war state, their national strength alone cannot afford to support so many troops.

As for Sulian, they continued to provide assistance after America withdrew, but the intensity of assistance and the total amount of supplies were rapidly reduced.

 Especially after the Afhan incident, the scale of assistance to Vietnam decreased rapidly.

 Hanoi has sent people to Moscow for negotiation many times, but with little success.

 In this case, Vietnam must reduce the size of its troops.

  In the end, except for the troops who stayed in the north and could not move, there were really not many elite troops that could be used to continue to invest in the battlefield of Chenla.

 Unless they are desperate and want to be defeated.

But in the face of America, they had to be determined to succeed or not. Now they have won. The mercenaries in Zhenla are the icing on the cake at best, and they are militaristic at worst.

 Many soldiers at the grassroots level, including officers, have been fighting for decades, and after finally winning, they still continue to fight.

It was a smooth battle, just like chopping melons and vegetables. Now that the fight is like this, from the beginning to the present, there have been 70,000 or 80,000 casualties, which inevitably breeds war weariness.

 The same situation is actually similar on Du Fei's side.

This is why, after the battle, Du Fei held a particularly high-profile ceremony, gave him enough honors, and spent all his money to boost morale.

However, this allowed Hanoi to recognize some realities.

 After Moscow began to cut support for them, their attitude towards Huaguo also began to show signs of softening.

Although they were unwilling, Hanoi senior officials had to admit that because of the stalemate with Lin Tiansheng in Chenla, they lost strategic control over Huaguo.

 This caused their value in Moscow to shrink.

 The direct result of this situation was that at the end of the year, Wu Ting, as a representative, secretly arrived in the capital.

 …

In Beijing, the north wind in December cuts my face like a knife.

 The Xianbeli cold current came in the middle of the night last night, and the capital was covered in snow overnight.

At the new campus of the University of Fire Technology, Du Fei and Wu Ting stood in the previous pavilion.

More than two months later, the pavilion has been painted with red paint.

The accompanying security personnel were more than ten meters away from the pavilion, and the howling wind prevented the voices of Du Fei and Wu Ting from reaching five meters away.

Wuting looked at the school that was covered with snow and had not yet been completely completed, with mixed feelings in his heart.

He did his homework before coming and knew that this was a new university built by Du Fei. It was larger than the famous Yanda University and Shuimujia University. In the future, it is expected to enroll 10,000 students every year, and the number of students on campus will be more than 40,000.

Although it was not the first time to come to Huaguo, this time I took the train all the way to the capital, and Wu Ting once again felt the hugeness of Huaguo.

Especially in the cities along the line, the rapid economic growth for several consecutive years has made Huaguo more dynamic.

 Since this year, seeing the output in Nanyang, China has begun to promote new mixed rice on a large scale. After the autumn harvest, grain output has reached a higher level.

 Taking into account the rice supply from Nanyang, the domestic food structure has changed, from mainly coarse grains to rice.

 Based on this year’s grain harvest, plus the filling of grain reserves in previous years, it is enough to feed 80% of the country’s population with rice.

However, people are used to being poor in the past, and people’s habits are not so easy to change. Many people are still reluctant to eat fine grains, and instead switch to coarse grains to save.

 It can only change slowly over time, and I guess you should get used to it after three or four years.

“The scenery of the Northland, the thousands of miles of icy wind...” Wu Ting looked at the snowy scene and started to recite it with emotion in his heart. Although he had some accent, he was very serious and recited it completely in one breath.

Du Fei listened patiently and applauded gently at the end.

　　"It's a shame to show off one's appearance to others!" Wu Ting smiled, then slowly shook his head and sighed: "Actually, we shouldn't have ended up like this."
