Chapter 1154 Hot Spring

Du Fei took this kind of special train for the first time in his two lives.

With a bit of curiosity, he simply didn't hold it, looking here and there.

The decoration inside is a bit old-fashioned, all made of maroon solid wood, and the furnishings and utensils are not vulgar, and you can tell it has its origins at first glance.

Jin Zheng introduced: "Brother Du, this is the special train carriage that the Eastern Governor of the Peninsula used to receive the emperor's special characteristics."

Du Fei suddenly realized, no wonder there was a strange feeling here.

It turns out that it was left by the Japanese people back then. It is estimated that Kim Jong and his son made some repairs and changes later, which resulted in the nondescript appearance now.

It's just that you know this in your heart, there is no need to say it out loud. Du Fei smiled and nodded.

Jin Zheng sat on the sofa, looking quite relaxed: "Tian Sheng, it's too late today. Instead of traveling at night, let's go to a nearby villa to rest for one night and then return to Pingyang tomorrow. How about that?"

Lin Tiansheng said with a smile: "I'm a guest doing as I please, Lao Du, what do you think?" Du Fei said: "Then thank you Brother Jin for your hospitality."

Jin Zheng glanced at the time: "It's about an hour's drive away. Let's try some of our fresh food in a while. In the evening, the three of us will soak in the hot springs to relieve our fatigue..."

Having said this, I suddenly remembered: "By the way, Brother Du, do you have any taboos? I'll ask the chef to pay attention later."

Du Fei waved his hand: "I can do anything. Last time I went to Jinzhou to visit my third uncle, I ate cold noodles there once. This time I have to try the most authentic Xian cold noodles."

Jin Zheng laughed and said, "That's necessary! It's a pity that the season is wrong now. If you come in summer and eat a big bowl of cold noodles in the dog days of summer, that would be called comfort."

When talking about eating, the three of them talked to each other, and time passed quickly. When it was almost seven o'clock, the train slowly stopped.

Everyone got out of the car, because the villa was on a hillside, and after another twenty minutes of driving, they arrived at a large group of mountain villas.

Because it was already dark and I couldn't see the whole picture.

After getting off the bus, several very beautiful waiters wearing distinctive ethnic costumes came up to us.

Along with them, there was an older woman, about thirty years old, who was very beautiful and elegant.

When Jin Zheng saw her, he smiled immediately and introduced: "Old Lin, Brother Du, this is my lover Cheng Hui."

Then he introduced Lin Tiansheng and Du Fei to the woman. When he mentioned Lin Tiansheng, he emphasized that Lin Tiansheng was the most trustworthy comrade and the closest brother.

After hearing this, Cheng Hui couldn't help but feel flattered, and bowed: "Comrade Lin, Comrade Du, I am very honored." Lin Tiansheng returned the courtesy with a calm smile.

Du Fei also said: "Ms. Cheng, you're welcome."

Strictly speaking, Cheng Hui can't be considered stunning, at least she's a bit worse than several people around Du Fei. But it should be said that it is indeed very temperamental. It is a kind of intellectual beauty with great style.

However, Jin Zheng said that Cheng Hui is his lover, but that is not necessarily the case. They probably don't have this kind of relationship at this time.

I put Cheng Hui here today probably because I wanted to give Lin Tiansheng and Du Fei some comfort in their status in disguise.

After all, given Cheng Hui's situation, it would be difficult to gain the approval of Kim Jong's father.

At the same time, Du Fei and Lin Tiansheng's friendship also reflects the friendship of "the wives don't avoid it when they cross the house."

Then Du Fei and Lin Tiansheng were assigned rooms respectively.

After a brief rest, we came to the restaurant again.

The decoration of the restaurant is quite Soviet-style, with a large round table in the middle. It is already filled with various dishes.

Du Fei and the other three were the only ones eating.

Du Fei is a big-bellied man, Jin Zheng is also good at eating, but Lin Tiansheng is much worse.

During the dinner, the three of them did not talk about any serious business and drank some soju. The atmosphere was quite harmonious. After finishing eating, Jin Zheng proposed to take a bath in the hot spring after taking a short rest.

The hot spring is led down from the mountain and directly into the large bath in the villa.

The bathroom is hundreds of square meters, and is paved with light yellow marble. After careful polishing, it looks quite high-end.

The oval pool was filled with white steam.

The three of them came to the dressing room. Du Fei just took off his shirt, which shocked Jin Zhengxia.

Although it's not the kind of huge muscles that bulge out, Du Fei's height and figure suddenly show off, which is definitely impactful. "Brother Du, are you a martial artist? You have a great physique!"

Jin Zheng said as he also took off his clothes.

He has not gained weight in middle age yet, so he looks a little fat because of the shape of his face. Lin Tiansheng has a lean physique, and because he often participates in training, his tendons can be seen. When they took off their pants, Lin Tiansheng and Jin Zheng had similar reactions to Zhou Peng's.

Jin Zheng said "fuck you" and laughed loudly: "Brother, you are really...talented!" Lin Tiansheng couldn't help but take a second look.

Du Fei, on the other hand, came to the pool chatting and laughing with the two people.

The three old men did not pretend to be clean and rinse them first like the Japanese. The water in the pool is very clear, but the temperature is a bit hot.

Du Fei tried it and found that it was probably above 45 degrees.

Yes, but it will be fine if you sit down and get used to it for a while. It was only then that Jin Zheng asked Du Fei and Lin Tiansheng the real reason for their visit.

Du Fei was still second. With Lin Tiansheng's identity, coming over suddenly at this time would definitely be a sign of going to the Three Treasures Palace.

Lin Tiansheng soaked his body in the hot spring, leaving only his head leaning against the marble table. He hummed and said bluntly: "Lao Jin, I am here to borrow troops from you."

Jin Zheng's expression changed instantly, he was clearly thinking wrong.

Fortunately, Lin Tiansheng also noticed the ambiguity and immediately added: "It's Nanyang..."

Jin Zheng breathed a sigh of relief and dived underwater, spitting out a string of bubbles.

He popped his head up again and wiped his wet face with his hands: "Old Lin, you scared me to death!" Then he looked at Du Fei: "What's wrong with Nanyang? Is it the ink pad?"

Lin Tiansheng simply threw it to Du Fei: "Old Du, tell Lao Jin."

Du Fei responded, knowing that the critical moment was coming, but on the surface he remained calm. Leaning in the pool, he explained the situation in a leisurely manner.

He didn't deliberately conceal or exaggerate anything. He was generally seeking truth from facts.

Finally, he said: "Brother Jin, the current situation is very critical. The Meguo people have intervened and provided weapons to the enemy. The comrades in Kalimantan have suffered great losses. If they cannot get support, it will be difficult for them to persist. The situation that was finally opened will be difficult." To be destroyed in one moment..."

Jin Zheng listened carefully and did not interrupt at will. His brain was thinking quickly, weighing the pros and cons of this matter.

After Du Fei finished speaking, he thought for two minutes and then looked at Lin Tiansheng: "So, when Tiansheng said he was borrowing troops just now, he hoped that we could send people to Kalimantan?"

Lin Tiansheng nodded without saying anything.

Jin Zheng frowned and fell silent again.

As the saying goes, "The most important affairs of the country are sacrifice and military service."

When it comes to this kind of thing, even if Jin Shicheng thinks highly of him, he will not dare to overstep his authority rashly. After a moment, he said: "This matter is not trivial. I must report it to my father."

Lin Tiansheng had expected it.

Du Fei continued: "The number of people does not need to be too large. Three to two thousand people are enough, but they must be elite. No weapons are needed. I will prepare them."

Jin Zheng's heart suddenly moved, he sat up a little and asked: "What's there?" Du Fei smiled: "Thirty tanks, the latest point-to-point surface-to-air missiles..." In fact, Vasily just made it That missile vehicle is a little taller.

Jin Zheng didn't know when Huaxia actually developed some point-to-point anti-aircraft missiles.

Previously, Huaxia's air defense missiles were provided by Su'e, which were mainly aimed at high-altitude and high-speed reconnaissance aircraft. However, when it comes to anti-aircraft missiles and tanks, it shows that the equipment provided this time is not a fool's errand.

Du Fei added: "When the time comes, Brother Lin will personally go to the front line to direct the battle."

Jin Zheng was startled and looked at Lin Tiansheng in disbelief: "Old Lin, you... are you going to Nanyang?" Lin Tiansheng pursed his lips and nodded, without explaining much.

Jin Zheng could smell an unusual smell from it, and frowned: "I heard that there are virgin forests over there, with all kinds of poisonous snakes and insects. We have been in the north for a long time, can you adapt to it?"

Lin Tiansheng smiled and said: "Good men are everywhere! Lao Jin, you are twenty-eight this year, and I am three years younger than you, twenty-five years old. What are our parents doing at this age? Don't you ever yearn for that kind of grandeur? ? Are you willing to be locked up in Pingyang like a canary?"

Jin Zheng's heart moved.

Although he was past the age of impulsive rebelliousness, Lin Tiansheng's words really spoke to his heart. Don't look at Jin Zheng wearing big glasses and looking young and mature.

In fact, deep down, he is just as restless as his father.

Otherwise, he would not have insisted on divorcing his wife and staying with Cheng Hui despite pressure from all sides.

It's just that at his age, he has long understood what things can be willful and what things cannot be willful. But the appearance of Lin Tiansheng faintly broke his previous shackles.

What is Lin Tiansheng’s identity!

Although in theory, Kim Jong's status is higher and more stable than Lin Tiansheng's.

But don't forget, Beihan is a small country at best. Although his position is valuable, it is actually far inferior to Lin Tiansheng.

Now, Lin Tiansheng has taken the initiative to go to Nanyang to make contributions. Why can't he, Jin Zheng? What's more, Lin Tiansheng is still the only son in the family.

Many thoughts flashed through Jin Zheng's mind, but he remained calm on the surface and did not show it at all.

Next, Jin Zheng asked Du Fei about the situation in Kalimantan, and then called three bathers over. The three of them lay down on the leather bed next to them, chatting about some unimportant gossip while taking a bath.

Finally, they went back to rest.

Jin Zheng returned to the bedroom, and Cheng Hui was already waiting inside.

Jin Zheng immediately greeted him obediently, but he was worried and a little absent-minded: "Wait a minute, I'll call my father." Cheng Hui nodded obediently and entered the suite.

side.

Jin Zheng came to the sofa, calmed down a little, and reached out to pick up the phone. Kim Thi Sung definitely didn't rest at this time.

After a while, the call was answered: "Father, I'm sorry to disturb you."

The other end of the phone said "hmm" and asked, "How do you feel about their relationship?" Jin Zheng understood why his father was particularly concerned about this, instead of asking what they were here for.

Looking at the relationship between Du Fei and Lin Tiansheng, I actually hope to see the relationship between their elders from the side. Jin Zhengdao: "Father, they have a very good relationship and they get along very relaxedly."

There are only two possibilities for this state, either the relationship is real, or there are major common interests. Jin Zheng feels that the latter should be Du Fei and Lin Tiansheng, and their common interests lie in Nanyang. .??.

Regarding his judgment, Jin Shicheng on the other side of the phone was noncommittal, but he was also surprised by Lin Tiansheng's decision to go to Nanyang.

After thinking for a while, he asked again: "What do you think their real purpose is?"

Jin Zheng said cautiously: "It's not clear yet, but I think that after the unification, the Central Plains dynasties of all dynasties will release their influence to the outside world again. In the Ming Dynasty, Zheng He went to the Western Seas, and the Qing Dynasty conquered Zhungeer in the west, right...

Jin Shicheng didn't answer for a long time.

To be honest, he couldn't tell for sure now. This was different from his previous judgment. He originally thought that with the current world situation, Hua Xia could only shrink to protect itself.

Now I'm reaching out. What does this mean? And the person who went there was not just any ordinary person, it was actually Lin Tiansheng!

Could it be a bigger chess game that he couldn't understand at all? He said in a deep voice: "Bring them to Pingyang tomorrow and I will meet them in person." "Yes, father."

Jin Zheng made a promise, but the other party had already hung up the phone. He held the receiver for a few seconds before slowly putting it down.

I didn’t go to the back room immediately after that. I sat on the sofa and stayed quietly for a long time...

At this time, Du Fei was lying on the comfortable big bed, also thinking about the situation of meeting Jin Zheng just now. It should be said that today's first meeting went relatively smoothly.

The most important thing is that Lin Tiansheng is such a big flag. If it were Du Fei himself, it would definitely not have the same effect. Kim Jong would not even come to greet him in person, let alone a special train or villa.

But we should not be too optimistic. Although the meeting with Kim Jong went smoothly, Kim Jong had no say. It was Kim Thi Sung who could make the final decision at the last moment.

But anyway, this matter is more than half done by now. All it takes in the end is a little luck.

Thinking of this, Du Fei closed his eyes... The next morning, Du Fei woke up early.

I soaked in the hot springs last night and slept all night, which was really refreshing. The heater in the room is very hot.

Opening the curtains, the morning light outside just shines through.

It was already dark when we arrived yesterday, and it was only then that we saw the scenery outside the villa. The mountains are undulating and covered with snow.

It doesn’t matter how beautiful it is. This kind of scenery can be seen everywhere in Northeast China. He looked back and glanced at the clock.

Yesterday we agreed to leave at eight o'clock this morning.

It’s nearly two hundred kilometers from here to Pingyang.

At the speed of trains in this era, the fastest journey would take more than three hours.

Departing at eight o'clock, if nothing happens, we can get off the train before noon. Du Fei tidied up, opened the door and came out of the house.

A waitress stood outside the door, and she immediately bowed and said: "Comrade, you are awake, please come with me." She spoke fluent Chinese.

Du Fei nodded and followed her downstairs to the restaurant.

Jin Zheng and Lin Tiansheng were both here, and they didn't have the habit of sleeping in.

However, it is not difficult to see that they did not sleep as well as Du Fei last night, and their mental state was obviously not as full as Du Fei's. Breakfast is very simple, consisting of corn stubble porridge and pickles, plus two boiled eggs.

Then the three of them set off and returned to yesterday's special train.

It's not eight o'clock yet, so there's no need to wait any longer, just start the train heading southwest. Follow the railway to Anju first, then turn south to reach Pingyang.

Du Fei looked at the scenery and towns along the railway through the car window.

There is a saying that in this era, Beihan relied on the "Economic Mutual Cooperation Conference" led by Su Ge, and his small life was quite nourishing.

Oil is available at very low prices, and agriculture has become mechanized and modernized. In the factory, according to the division of labor of the Economic Cooperation Council, there is no need to worry about selling the things produced.

However, there is a prerequisite for such a good day.

It must be based on Su's strong productivity and nearly endless resources. Once these are lost, they will disappear in an instant like a flower in the mirror.

This is also the helplessness and sorrow of a small country.

At this moment, a scene suddenly appeared on a large piece of cultivated land next to the railway line. It should be that local farms are doing deep plowing in winter to prepare for spring plowing.

Along the railway line, a dozen large tractors were driving over the fields, emitting black smoke.

Seeing this scene, Jin Zheng was very proud, pointed with his hand and said:

"Lao Lin, Brother Du, this is the largest collective farm in our country..."

Lin Tiansheng nodded, showing no emotion or anger.

Du Fei continued: "That's great. Replacing manpower with machinery must be the future trend."

Jin Zheng hadn't heard what Du Fei meant, so he nodded and said, "Yes! My father once said that the tractor is a very great invention."

Du Fei chuckled and said, "If I'm not mistaken, these tractors should be produced by the Skoda factory in the Czech Republic, right? Jin Zheng was stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect Du Fei to be able to see the brand and model of the tractors from such a distance.

But he didn't pay much attention to it, just assuming that Du Fei had seen the same model of tractor in China and judged it from its outline. Du Fei continued: "Skoda's tractors are not cheap~"

Mentioning this, Jin Zheng was very moved: "No." After saying this, he felt something was wrong and quickly went back to make up for it: "But the quality is indeed good." "

Du Fei smiled: "Brother Jin, to tell you the truth, I happen to own a tractor factory. Of course, the quality of our tractors is definitely not as good as Skoda's, but we are cheap! The price is only one-third of this tractor. , if you buy one of these, you can buy three of them, Brother Jin, how about it?”

At this time, both Jin Zheng and Lin Tiansheng were stunned.

Unexpectedly, Du Fei came here to read the business lesson.

The corners of Jin Zheng's mouth twitched, not knowing how to respond.

After a few seconds, Cai came to his senses and said with a wry smile: "Brother Du, it's not that I'm not mean, but you should know about the mutual meeting~"

Du Fei nodded.

Jin Zheng said: "Our factories were built with aid from Su-e, and many important leadership positions are held by them. They are keeping a close eye on production quotas, and I can't do anything about it!"

Du Fei waved his hand and said with a smile: "Brother Jin, don't worry, I'm not trying to embarrass you." Then he looked at Lin Tiansheng: "You and Brother Lin are like brothers, so you are naturally my brother."

Jin Zheng nodded quickly: "Of course, of course."

Du Fei said: "Since we are brothers, we can't embarrass our brothers, right?" Jin Zheng hesitated this time, and really didn't know what Du Fei was up to.

Du Fei was not in a hurry and continued, "Brother Jin, let me give you an example. It's like there are three brothers in this family. Suddenly one day, the eldest and the second brother had a quarrel and started fighting each other. What do you think the third brother should do? Help the eldest brother to fight the second brother, or help the second brother to fight the eldest brother?"

Jin Zheng heard what Du Fei meant. His family was the third brother, and he couldn't help but smile bitterly: "They are all brothers. Broken bones are connected. The third brother will definitely persuade the fight, not help to beat people. But the third brother has thin arms and legs, and he can't persuade him even if he wants to!"

Du Fei said, "You can't say that. Brother Jin, do you think that the eldest and the second brother are really willing to turn against each other? It's just that they are so stubborn that they are unwilling to give in. At this time, you can see the importance of the third brother. You say, the second brother has something he wants to give to the eldest brother, but he can't save face. He first gives it to the third brother, and then lets the third brother give it to the eldest brother. Wouldn't the eldest brother be very happy?"

Jin Zheng blinked his glasses and nodded subconsciously.

Du Fei added: "The eldest brother is the eldest brother. He can't take things for free. Shouldn't he give something back? But he can't save face and pass it on to the second brother through the hands of the third brother. Don't you think it's reasonable?"

Jin Zheng licked his lips and said seriously: "Brother, this matter is too big. I can't make the decision." Du Fei actually said it casually and didn't expect anything.

He smiled and said: "In fact, this will benefit the third brother the most."

Jin Zheng certainly understands the benefits of this, and he doesn't even need to plunder the passing geese.

It's enough for their family to make money from logistics and re-export, and they can also gain goodwill on both sides. As for whether it can succeed, how can you know if you don't try.

In fact, since last year's Zhenbao Island.

Although the big goose clamored this and that, in the end it only won back a game from the iron shell hunter in the north of Xinjiang. Obviously, the symbolic meaning is greater than the actual meaning.

It shows that they are far less tough than they say. It also shows that there is room for mediation.

Especially recently, through the cooperation with the textile and clothing group and Meiguo, the big goose has to consider the relationship with its southern neighbors more carefully.

Jin Zheng was keenly aware that this might be an opportunity for their family. Du Fei stopped talking and just looked out the window.

Jin Zheng wanted to say something else, but after thinking about it, he stopped talking about this topic. This matter is too big, he can't hold it in, and he must report it to his father first. As for Du Fei, these words are not said casually.

Even if he didn't see those Skoda tractors, he would find a way to find another reason to bring up this topic. The so-called pulling a big flag to make a tiger skin.

Although Lin Tiansheng has put on this big tiger skin now, it is not so easy to get Jin Shicheng to agree to borrow troops. There are many issues involved here.

People tend to seek benefits and avoid harm. As the saying goes, it is better to have less trouble than more.

Nanyang and Beihan have nothing to do with each other. If there is no benefit, why would they give you manpower and effort? There must be an explanation for this problem.

At least give them a reasonable reason, even if it is a self-deception. Otherwise, it all depends on face, even if Lin Tiansheng comes, it is not good enough.
