Chapter 1175: The Return and Barbara

At this time, Lijiapo was far from as prosperous as it had been a few years ago.

For Lijiapo to truly develop, we have to wait for the Yingguo people to leave and the Meguo people to come.

After the Meguo people failed in Vietnam, they urgently needed to find a new strategic fulcrum in Nanyang, and Lijiapo, located in the Strait of Malacca, was chosen.

In the following few years, thanks to the spillover of American industries, it developed by leaps and bounds. .??.

Today, Lijiapo is still a shabby place that cannot even provide itself with vegetables and fresh water. Previously, with the help of the Yingguo people, it merged with the Malay Peninsula and Sarawak.

Later, they were excluded because of the conflict between the horse people and the Chinese people. Li Jing came here secretly this time, obviously with ulterior motives.

Du Fei listened, his mind was racing, and he thought of going with Julie.

In fact, after being forced to become independent, Li Jiapo hoped to join Malay again more than once. This time, things are happening in Sarawak.

First they were attacked by the Pontianak Ming army, and then there was a fight between Johnson and Winnie. In this process, Kuala Lumpur adopted a completely laissez-faire attitude.

So now, after the dust has settled, the already weak cohesion of Malays has been weakened even more.

Especially after Winnie took office, she had no contact with Kuala Lumpur at all. Anyone with a discerning eye could easily see that the so-called Malay Federation was about to collapse at any time.

At this time, Li Jing came to the door secretly. It was obvious that he was not interested in drinking.

Sure enough, Li Jing then expressed his intention to join the Kingdom of Sarawak as a free city.

This type of free city is relatively common in Europe, the most famous of which is the Free City of Danzig in the original East Prussia region.

When Julie heard this, she frowned.

At first glance, the other party took the initiative to pitch, and it seemed like fat meat was delivered to the door. But in fact, it is an apple with poison added secretly.

Once Li Jiapo is accepted, Sarawak will completely withdraw from the federation and break with Kuala Lumpur in the west. By then, Lijiapo, located at the southernmost tip of the peninsula, will definitely become the focus of the confrontation between the two sides.

In particular, Lijiapo itself was not self-sufficient and needed horses from the north to supply supplies. When the time comes, water and electricity will be cut off. What will happen here in Kuching?

Is it possible to carry fresh water there one by one?

This is only one aspect. The biggest problem is that Li Jing proposed to join in the name of a free city. This brings little benefit to Kuching, and it would be a big mistake to really agree.

Moreover, the location of Lijiapo must be secured 100% when Meiguo withdraws from Yuenan.

No matter who is the actual controller of Sarawak, even if Winnie is not dead or replaced by Julie, he is a real Yingguo person.

Meguo would not allow her to get involved in Li Jiapo.

After thinking through the pros and cons, Du Fei discussed with Zhu Li through the spiritual link, and immediately rejected Li Jing's so-called "good intentions" and sent him away as a gift.

Li Jing was very disappointed and couldn't help but look back after leaving the palace.

The two people who came with him were waiting outside. When they saw him coming out, they immediately went up to him and planned to ask. Li Jing waved his hand and said, "We'll talk about it when we get back."

When the two of them saw this, their hearts skipped a beat. It was easy to tell from Li Jing's expression that things were not going well. The three of them returned to the hotel.

One of them immediately asked, "They said no?"

Li Jing nodded gloomily.

Another person stamped his foot: "These damn Yingguo guys! If it hadn't been for them, why would they have stopped talking? Just halfway through speaking, he noticed that Li Jing's face looked even more ugly.

In fact, after driving away the Oriental people, the Nanyang Chinese were very powerful and had great hope of establishing a large country dominated by Chinese.

But facing the returning Yingguo people, most Chinese elites like Li Jing chose to surrender and appease. As a result, a good situation was wasted.

After disarming himself, he was bullied by the horse people, and he went to the Yingguo people to make decisions, only to be treated with perfunctory contempt. At that time, Li Jing was among the group of people who believed in Yingguo wholeheartedly.

When the man said these words, he touched his sore feet.

Li Jing let out a long breath, waved his hands and said, "Forget it, you go ahead. I'm tired, let's take a rest." The two people could only leave in silence.

But after the door closed, Li Jing didn't rest. Instead, he immediately picked up the phone and dialed. After a while, the phone was connected and a deep voice came: "How is the situation?"

Hearing this voice, even though he was not in person, Li Jing still bowed slightly: "I'm sorry, sir, she refused." There was a slight silence on the other side of the phone, and he said calmly: "Okay, I understand, you can go back.""

br>

Li Jing responded and said hurriedly: "But Li Jiapo..."

Before he could finish speaking, the other party hung up the phone. The other party didn't care about Li Jiapo's life or death at all. Li Jing felt heavy and slowly put down the receiver in his hand.

At the same time, in the palace.

Du Fei was still thinking about the purpose of Li Jing's sudden visit.

Logically speaking, Li Jing could not have imagined that seeking a merger with Sarawak would only anger Kuala Lumpur.

When Kuala Lumpur can't do anything about Kuching, it will take out its anger on him.

Moreover, across the Karimata Sea, Kuching has no ability to give him any substantial help. No normal person, let alone Li Jing, would do such a thing that would be harmful but useless. But he came and raised it openly in front of Winnie, which made people think too much. Du Fei thought carefully and realized more and more that he should have some purpose in coming this time.

The most obvious thing is to test Winnie's attitude towards Li Jiapo. As for whether there is anything else, Du Fei can't think of it yet.

They could only send the Crow Squad to watch, but they didn't find that Li Jing had contact with anyone. After just two days, he took a boat back to Lijiapo.

On the other side, a few days later, Park Zhe led the army to Sri Baga City to join Eagle. Before arriving, Du Fei specifically told Eagle to cooperate with Park Zhe as much as possible through the mental link.

So after the two sides joined forces, although each had its own defenses, they were generally harmonious.

Especially in the next command, Park Zhe didn't expect Eagle, an Yingguo man, to be very cooperative, which made many of his prepared remarks go to waste.

Afterwards, the two sides only left one thousand people to guard Sri Baga City, and Eagle was in charge of guarding it personally.

The other two thousand mercenaries in the city and the reinforcements transferred from Kuching joined forces with Park Zhe's eight thousand people, a total of ten thousand troops, and continued to move west without stopping.

As expected by Du Fei before, because he was not willing to send troops, Aideen Shaojiang's marching speed was very slow.

Obviously the distance was closer, but he was the last to arrive.

In the northwest of Sri Bega, more than 100 kilometers away, the two sides collided. The result was even more as expected.

Young Aideen's troops were not prepared for battle at all. It was more like an armed parade than a siege.

When the vanguards of the two sides met, they were stunned by the dense mortar fire.

Park Zhe knew the benefits of concentrated firepower, especially when facing enemies with inferior equipment, concentrated superior firepower can often bring huge psychological pressure to the enemy.

If the enemy's psychological quality is a little worse, it will collapse directly after a round of charge. This is his experience in attacking Kuching before.

This time it was confirmed again.

Young Aideen hadn't reacted yet, and nearly 3,000 people in the vanguard were scattered.

Immediately afterwards, Cui Shanyong led his elite Gao Libing to bite the fleeing soldiers and charge, which directly caused Young Aideen's main force to fall into chaos...

This battle lasted less than three hours.

More than 8,400 enemies were annihilated, including 856 killed and more than 7,000 captured. The rest fled into the rainforest.

As the commander-in-chief, Young Master Aideen was almost captured. In the end, he escaped with only a few hundred people around him. He fled back along the same route in panic.

Two hours later, Du Fei received the battle report in Kuching City.

Although he had guessed that he would win, it was still unexpected that he won so easily. After all, the other side also had a force of more than 10,000 people.

The equipment cannot be said to be too bad. After all, it is a regular army. Unexpectedly, they couldn't even hold on for three hours in a head-on exchange. Not only Du Fei, but even Pu Zhe didn't expect it.

In his eyes, although the combat effectiveness of the forces in Kalimantan is not very good, compared with the previous Young Master Tut, Young Master Aideen's performance is really worse.

The original plan was to defeat the enemy as a victory, but who knew that the plan did not change quickly. Pu Zhe immediately decided to leave the main force and send 3,000 elites to chase after them. This chase was more than 500 kilometers.

Young Master Aideen was no longer able to organize a decent defense line. He retreated all the way to his old nest, but he was completely scared. Originally, he had left more than 7,000 people in his old nest.

But Aideen didn't dare to gamble, as this was his last bargaining chip.

With these troops, he was Young Aideen, but without them, he was nothing.

Especially this time, he took those people back in one piece, and they didn't even have a quarter of them. And East Kalimantan was originally a loose tribal alliance.

Originally, Aideen had the strongest strength and the highest prestige.

But after this defeat, his prestige was greatly reduced, and the "Kutai people" in the south of East Kalimantan Province had always been suppressed by Young Aideen.

Now that they heard that he had lost, they immediately showed signs of being ready to move.

The Kutai people are the second largest tribal force in East Kalimantan Province after Young Aideen. Compared with Young Aideen, who occupies the north of East Kalimantan Province, the Kutai people are closer to the southern province of South Kalimantan, because they were developed earlier, have a stronger economy, and a larger population.

Normally, the poorer north cannot dominate East Kalimantan Province.

But in the past In order to balance the situation, the Yakata side deliberately supported Young Master Aideen, which led to the current situation. Now, Suharto is busy with his own affairs, and Aideen has been defeated again.

The Kutai people, who have been suppressed for many years, finally see hope.

Especially before this, Lin Tiansheng defeated Young Master Tut and directly allowed the Dayaks in Central Kalimantan to establish an independent country. This also made the Kutai people think.

Faced with this situation, how could Aideen dare to take the risk of confronting the pursuers behind him.

He simply fled all the way south.

In his opinion , the 8,000 men in his hands could not defeat the enemy behind him, could they not defeat the Kutai people! As for the pursuers behind, he believed that the bad road would make the pursuers stop in time.

Sure enough, what Aideen Shaojiang thought was right.

The pursuers stopped after occupying his old nest and did not pursue southward. Du Fei was also overjoyed when he received the news, and immediately took the map to check.

After a rough calculation, in this battle, Pu Zhe directly led his men to the hinterland of Dongka Province, occupying about one-third of the area.

In addition to the Wenlai occupied before, according to the previous agreement, Lin Tiansheng did not want to occupy these lands.

It’s not that Lin Tiansheng is generous, it’s really out of reach, there is no border at all, even if you want, you can’t reach it. At this time, the total area of ​​the Kingdom of Sarawak exceeded 250,000 square kilometers.

It’s almost one-third of the entire island of Kalimantan.

The northern part of Kalimantan was developed earlier, and the industry and agriculture are more developed. If the economic output value is calculated, the area in Du Fei’s hands has exceeded half of the entire Kalimantan.

It really fits the saying: No matter how hard you try, you won't find anything, and it won't take any effort to get it.

When Du Fei left Pontianak to return to China, he originally planned to only stop in Xiangjiang and then return directly to the capital. Who knew that when they turned around and came back, they would create such a big mess again.

At this point, you must not give up what you got. Since you have eaten it in your mouth, you must swallow it. Meanwhile, far away in Saigon.

In an office decorated entirely with mahogany, a telephone was slammed to the ground and shattered into pieces. "Idiot! Idiot!"

Young Master Slater cursed angrily, still unable to vent the anger in his heart.

What was thought to be a sure victory turned into a huge rout.

This was hard for him to accept.

What’s more, I can’t figure out why the Ge Mingjun in Pontianak helped send troops?

Aren't they enemies? He had been beaten to death not long ago, but in the blink of an eye... Start was breathing heavily and his face was ashen with anger.

Suddenly, his expression became extremely painful.

He groaned and covered his chest, enduring the severe pain from his heart, and went to the desk drawer to take out a small brown glass bottle.

I poured a nitroglycerin tablet into my mouth and sucked it hard. It took more than a minute for the pain to subside.

Startler closed his eyes and sat down on the chair, like a fish out of water, breathing feebly. It wasn't until ten minutes that he regained his composure, gritted his teeth and sat up straight.

Experiencing the severe pain just now did not extinguish his ambition, but made him even more unwilling. Start glanced at the broken telephone on the ground and frowned.

He reached out and pressed the bell on the table.

Soon a young officer came in from outside.

Stat drooped his eyelids and said calmly: "Ask the logistics department to send a phone." The young man responded and immediately turned around and went out.

Within ten minutes I got a new phone back.

After the logistics staff installed the phone and left, Start picked up the phone again.

The words were dialed.

"Hey, White, I'm Stat... No, I'm pretty bad... I told you last time, about the oil company... Yes, I need it Your help, my friend! ······Of course, I promise, Ed En is trustworthy, he is at least not that fool Tut... 5% of the income, of course, we are friends... ····Transportation? Don’t worry, I’ll let Ruan Chunming do it..."

After making this call, Stat's eyes were a little red.

White is his superior. Although his energy connections may not be stronger than his, he is currently in charge of the frontline ordnance department. If Start wants to make a last-ditch effort, he must ask White for help.

But help is not just words. Without the benefit of real money, no one will help. Start is also a courageous person.

Simply give White 5%, and he will get the other 5% after the event is completed, which is much better than only 2% before.

Moreover, there is no turning back when he shoots. He has already made a move before. If it makes a mess of feathers, whether the 2% can be saved is another matter.

A few days later.

Located in Burungan County, Tonga Province, the outpost troops stationed here under Park Zhe suddenly encountered a fierce counterattack by the enemy.

Ed En Shaojiang led the team to kill a carbine.

Different from the weak combat effectiveness before, this time the enemy's firepower was surprisingly fierce.

Not only that, at least five helicopters appeared in the air to provide fire support on the ground.

Because the enemy did not have air power before, this advancing forward force did not have anti-aircraft firepower.

In addition, the previous fight was so smooth, I didn’t expect that the enemy’s combat power suddenly increased to a new level, and I was caught off guard...

A few hours later, Du Fei received news from the front line and couldn't help but look gloomy.

The original situation was obvious. Ed Enshaojiang had given up and took people to hide in the southern part of Tonga Province.

Now they suddenly come back. Not only the weapons and equipment have been greatly improved, but also helicopter cover has appeared. It goes without saying.

Du Fei was silent for a moment, pursed his lips and dialed the phone again.

The call was connected, and Du Fei had just revealed his identity. Before he could say anything else, Bush on the other end of the phone apologized: I'm very sorry, Du..."

Apparently Bush also knew about the situation in Tonga Province.

Du Fei was silent for a moment, but instead of getting angry, he said very calmly: "George, there is no need to apologize. I just want to ask, can you solve this Stat?"

"This..." Bush muttered, not sure.

Du Fei waited and said in a deep voice: "Okay, I understand. I will solve it in my own way. Goodbye!" After saying that, before Bush could speak again, Du Fei put down the phone with a bang.

In fact, Du Fei had guessed this result before making this call.

How could Bush not know about such a big move by Master Stater, transporting weapons to Adern and sending helicopters for cover?

The fact that he remained silent made the point clear.

And the real purpose of Du Fei's call was not to use Bush to solve the problem, but to tell Bush to kill Start.

If this person dies from now on, don’t make a fuss.

Bush heard a "bang" on the other end of the phone and couldn't help but put the receiver away from his ear. He turned back to look at the other young woman, shrugged and put down the phone.

The woman is very beautiful, probably less than thirty years old, wearing gold-rimmed glasses, and has an intellectual beauty. "Is he angry?" the woman asked with a playful smile.

Bush said: "Of course, Ms. Botting, I don't know why you support Stat. But I must remind you that Du Fei is not a simple person, and we should not become enemies with him."

The woman said confidently: "Of course I know, but wouldn't it be fun to force such a person to give in?" Bush curled his lips: "I hope it's as you wish, Ms. Botting."

The woman said: "Just call me Barbara, George, after all, we are also Harvard alumni."

"Of course~" Bush spread his hands, and although he said yes, he didn't call Barbara's name directly.

In fact, he didn't like this conceited woman very much. He didn't understand why a wise man like Dr. Kissinger would find such a secretary.

Barbara didn't care, just smiled elegantly.
