Chapter 1,208 Visitors From Japan

The Seventh Division was originally called the Asahikawa Division and was the only heavy-armed division of the Toyo Self-Defense Forces.

When the Asahikawa Division was restored, the main goal was to resist the landing of the first wave of armored troops from the giant goose, so as to gain reaction time for the U.S. forces on the island.

To put it bluntly, they are used as cannon fodder.

But it should not be said that the combat effectiveness of the Asahikawa Division, at least on paper, is quite good.

But no one is a fool, and the Toyo Self-Defense Forces also know what they do. If they have a weak will to fight, they just get paid to do things, just like going to work.

Especially in the past two years, the battle in Hokkaido has exposed the foundation of the 7th Division.

In battles that were originally advantageous, many times they would retreat after firing two shots, for fear that if they were one step slower than their colleagues, they would become the salient.

This is also the reason why Yamada Kenjiro and Mishima Matajio are becoming more and more courageous. On this day, it rained lightly all day long.

An autumn rain and a cold.

Du Fei got off work and picked up Zhu Ting to go home.

When I got home, I was surprised to see that Dad Zhu was there!

This was something she hadn't seen in many days. Zhu Ting was a little worried: "Dad, why are you back so early today?" She knew how busy Dad Zhu was, and would definitely not leave work early if there was something wrong.

Dad Zhu waved his hand and said: "It's okay. I was a little confused this afternoon. I took my blood pressure and it was a bit high." Zhu Ting frowned: "Have you taken any medicine?"

Du Fei also followed suit.

At Zhu's father's age, coupled with the high-intensity work, it is not surprising that he has physical problems.

Zhu's mother said: "The doctor prescribed two soothing medicines and a few injections, and asked him to rest for two days." Zhu Ting said: "Dad, you should rest. You haven't slept before one o'clock in the past two years." ." Dad Zhu said with a smile: "There are so many things, even if you let me lie in bed~"

Du Fei interjected: "Dad, your health is the capital of your life. Our country's economy has just started to pick up in the past two years, so you must not exhaust yourself."

Dad Zhu glanced at her and scolded her with a smile: "You kid, you are just trying to flatter me. The economic improvement in the past two years is the result of the joint efforts of all the comrades at the top and bottom, and it is not the result of me alone.

Although he said this, Du Fei's words really tickled Dad Zhu's itch.

In the past two years, the emergence of Du Fei, especially the emergence of fire equipment companies and textile and clothing groups, has greatly eased economic pressure.

Coupled with Dad Zhu's overall coordination, the report card produced is quite good. Much better than previously expected.

In order to cope with the worst situation, even the large-scale rural areas were planned to be rolled out at a slower pace. It was rare that Dad Zhu was at home and the whole family had a meal together.

After dinner, Dad Zhu held his grandson and played for a while, then called Du Fei to the study. Zhu Ma knew that he couldn't sit still, so she didn't stop him at all.

In the study, Zhu's father wanted to drink tea. Du Fei said hey, "Dad, you go to bed early today. You don't have to drink tea. You can make some wolfberry."

Dad Zhu followed his advice and said: "It's just wolfberry. By the way, I heard that all the Japanese people in your place have left?"

Du Fei rinsed the wolfberries with hot water, made a cup for Zhu's father, had a cup for himself, and replied: "We are all gone, we are preparing for a big fight before winter."

Dad Zhu said "Oh": "A big war?"

Du Fei nodded: "Last time about Pohang Steel, I promised to sell them 500 tank destroyers and 100 sets of 107 rocket launchers. By the end of this month, they will almost be delivered."

Dad Zhu frowned: "Tank destroyer?" He had never seen the copycat version of the BRT-60 armored vehicle created by Du Fei.

Du Fei explained: "I have an expert from the original Big Goose. I asked him to draw blueprints and build an armored vehicle with a 105mm tank gun installed on it, which is enough to destroy the Japanese Type 61 tank with one shot."

Dad Zhu laughed "haha": "The 105 mm anti-tank gun... that's not bad." Du Fei said hey: "Opening the door for business and satisfying customers is the purpose of our service." Dad Zhu looked at him One glance: "Aren't you afraid that things will get serious?"

Du Fei said: "If the sky falls, there will be a high one to support it. If the Japanese can really take down Hokkaido this time, I guess the big goose will not be able to sit still."

Dad Zhu nodded.

Although Yamada Kenjiro had contacted Big Goose before, the other party did not respond particularly positively. That's because the big goose felt that they didn't notice

I want to develop my future and I don’t want to make a loss-making business.

But once Hokkaido is taken, the situation will be completely different.

At that time, Yamada Kenjiro's chips were enough to attract Big Goose's investment.

Du Fei chuckled and said, "Dad, actually I hope they can have a chance encounter near Hokkaido, just to relieve the pressure on our north."

Dad Zhu slowly shook his head: "It's not that easy and no one is a fool. Mosco will not be confused about which is more important. But last time you went to North Korea, you proposed to trade with the goose through railway transit, and the effect was still good. good.

Du Fei was surprised and said: "Has it started already?"

The last time he came back, after reporting the situation to Dad Zhu, he hurried to Nanyang with Lin Tiansheng and Pu Zhe. Unexpectedly, it has already been implemented.

Du Fei also secretly admired the efficiency of Zhu's father's work.

You must know that this is not a simple matter, involving three countries. Two of the big countries had just fought, which was very unpleasant.

Although North Korea, as the middleman, has a little face, it is not big enough and its mediating role is limited. Therefore, to be able to turn the idea into reality so quickly shows that Dad Zhu has done a lot of work here.

At the same time, Du Fei was also a little curious about the attitude of the big goose.

Hearing this question, Zhu's father curled his lips and took a sip of wolfberry water: "What other attitude can it have? Just keep it up. It seems that you don't know. In fact, you have already acquiesced to this trade route."

Du Fei nodded. With these interests involved, the tension between the two sides will definitely be relieved a lot. But it is far from enough to turn hostility into friendship.

At least it is better than being on the verge of a fight.

Finally, Zhu's father reminded: "You should be careful in Hokkaido and don't go too far."

Du Fei nodded: "I understand, that is the forbidden food of the American people. It's okay to do it in Hokkaido, and it won't touch the other three islands."

Zhu's father stopped there and said: "By the way, you said last time that the new steel production line should be placed in Jinzhou and discussed at the meeting the day before yesterday. In principle, there is no problem."

Du Fei smiled and had guessed this result long ago.

This is also a kind of unspoken rule. The production line was obtained by Du Fei and nominally under the Red Star Steel Rolling Plant. These are all from Zhu's father's system, and they naturally enjoy priority distribution rights.

Moreover, placing it in Jinzhou is also a result that all parties can accept.

As mentioned before, Jinzhou is a very special place in this era. It is considered the third brother of Liaoning Province and was briefly the capital of Liaoxi Province. People from all parties are mixed, and you are in me and I am in you.

Placing the production line here will benefit Zhu Wei the most, but it will also benefit others. It is a more balanced plan that everyone can accept.

The father-in-law and son-in-law chatted for more than an hour. Du Fei suggested that the father-in-law go to bed early and come out of the study.

More than a month has passed. October 23, 1970.

It is almost November, and the weather in Beijing is getting colder and colder. The neighborhood committees below are preparing to sell winter storage vegetables. Du Fei sits in the office and looks at the calendar on the table.

Five years ago, it was also October 23, and he traveled through time.

Time flies, and five years have passed in a blink of an eye. He has gone from an orphan to a successful career and a winner in life with one wife and two concubines.

A lot of things have happened in this month.

First, at New Oriental, Lei Chunsheng and his group went through several months of training and command courses, and finally boarded a ship to Nanyang.

There were more than 100 people on the same ship this time, including Wang Xiaodong and the people left by his grandfather, a total of 23 people.

The second is the old Yang family, as well as Liu Kuangfu and Zhai Xiaotong, and several cousins ​​of the Yang family, a total of 15 people.

With these people, Zhu Li's employment pressure can be relieved.

Because Zhu Li has undergone portable space transformation, Du Fei has a spiritual connection with her.

It's just that the distance is too far, and each contact will consume a lot of mental energy. Du Fei basically contacts Zhu Li once every half a month.

In Nanyang,

because Suharto's physical condition deteriorated, the situation became more and more complicated. Originally a scattered island country, it is now even more fragmented.

Kalimantan is divided into four parts: southeast, northwest, and northeast.

The Sarawak Kingdom centered on Kuching, the Ge Ming Army centered on Pontianak, and the two local indigenous forces in the south and east.

Outside of Kalimantan, the Chinese family alliance in Java has already occupied the eastern territory. Earlier, the Nusa Tenga Islands also successfully planted their flags. .??.

In contrast, the high-level officials far away in Jakarta did not care about the chaos outside at all, and were still staring at that position with their own ulterior motives.

Another major event was the fiercest battle in two years in Hokkaido, East Asia.

The Kusumei Army, led by Kenjiro Yamada and Matakaio Mishima, launched a large-scale offensive before the snow fell in winter. For this battle, Kenjiro Yamada prepared for several months, gathering hundreds of chariots and hundreds of rocket launchers. The total force reached more than 30,000 people, which can be said to be the best and desperate.

The Self-Defense Forces are the 7th Division, with a total force of 6,700 people.

At the beginning, Kenjiro Yamada adopted the strategy of besieging and attacking the reinforcements, and once again pretended to attack Zahuang. But it was a feint, and the main force was deployed between Chitose City, the base of the 7th Division, and Zahuang.

On the other hand, Mishima Matajiro led a detachment to block the Second Division that might come to the south for support in the northeast.

Because the Kusanagi army had been making a lot of trouble in the past two years, in addition to the local Seventh Division, Hokkaido also had two other units, the Second Division and the Fifth Brigade.

However, these two combat units were far less well-equipped and had more people than the Seventh Division. The battle started on the morning of October 4 and ended on the afternoon of October 11.

It lasted for a total of eight days.

The main force of the Seventh Division was defeated, and the Second Division, which came from the northeast to support Zahuang, failed to advance and was blocked in Sunagawa City, more than 60 kilometers away from Zahuang. Then Yamada Kenjiro led the main force back, and Zahuang surrendered without a fight.

In the eight-day battle, the two divisions of the Japanese Self-Defense Force had 11,000 people, and lost a total of 120 tanks, 54 armored vehicles, and more than 70 various artillery pieces.

More than 3,600 people were lost, including 274 casualties, 1,689 prisoners, and the rest escaped and disappeared.

It was at the last moment that the US Air Force fleet in northern Honshu was dispatched to force back the powerful Yamada Kenjiro.

Otherwise, the Seventh Division’s base might not be able to be defended.

During the battle, the thin-skinned "Fire Fighter No. 2" tank destroyer demonstrated powerful firepower and mobility. The rigorously trained soldiers of the Ge Ming Army showed quite good technical qualities and had a very good exchange ratio with the Type 61 tanks of the 7th Division.

Du Fei can even predict that after this war, many customers will come here to buy the "Firefighting No. 2" multifunctional armored vehicle.

Another most important result is that after two years of fighting, the Doge Ming Army finally occupied a relatively large city for the first time. This is an important sign.

It shows that this team has transformed from a piecemeal stragglers to a separatist force with territory, industry, and population.

Half of the vision Du Fei gave them had been realized. But the other half won’t be so easy.

This time, Yamada Kenjiro failed to annihilate the 7th Division in one go, and chose to seize Zakugo first. It cannot be said to be a mistake, but a different choice.

He chose "a thousand birds in the forest is worse than a bird in the hand". It is most practical to get what you can get first. After reaction, the 7th Division with follow-up support had stabilized its position, and it would be difficult to fight again. But this doesn't matter much to Du Fei.

In the next step, it no longer depends on him where the Hokkaido Katsuragi Army can go. Instead, we have to hand over the baton to the big goose.

After suffering a big loss this time, Tokyo can no longer be in such a state of disarray. Du Fei can no longer transport equipment to Hokkaido in a grand manner as before.

Yamada Kenjiro and others must win support from the big goose if they want to hold on to Zahuang next year.

This is why he clearly had the opportunity to pursue the victory and fight against the 7th Division, but he gave up and captured Zhahuang.

Just to show it to the big goose and show its investment value. This is exactly what Du Fei wants to see.

In fact, he first led Yamada Kenjiro and others to Hokkaido with the intention of dragging the goose into the water. As long as the big goose ends up here, Hokkaido will definitely become the focus of competition between the two sides.

Moscow has limited resources that it can mobilize in the Far East.

In other words, the more intense the situation in Hokkaido will be in the future, the less pressure we will feel on ourselves. However, Du Fei did not expect that the subsequent impact of this incident would come so quickly.

After traveling through the fifth anniversary, Du Fei was feeling a little sad when he suddenly received a call.

"Hey, George, why did you call me suddenly? Haven't you been in the capital recently?" Du Fei was a little surprised. It was Bush who called.

On the other side of the phone, Bush said with a smile: "You came back last night, how are you? Do you have time tomorrow?" Du Fei knew that this guy would not go to the Three Treasures Hall for anything.

He asked: "What's going on?" I thought quickly, Nanyang's oil company, Jinzhou's steel production line, textile and clothing group... all seemed to be going well.

Bush explained: "Du, I'm just a middleman this time. Someone in Tokyo wants to see you." "Tokyo?" Du Fei narrowed his eyes slightly: "Who is it?"

Bush said: "My name is Daisaku Yasuda. He is currently at the Secretariat of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Tokyo. He is also a direct member of the Yasuda Zaibatsu."

Du Fei understood it as soon as he heard it.

This Daisaku Yasuda is here to test and make contact.

Bush acted as the intermediary, indicating that this matter was approved by the United States.

Du Fei couldn't help but smile. It should be that the failure in Hokkaido was so tragic that it hurt the bureaucrats and plutocrats. Let's see if we can cut off Hokkaido's equipment from Du Fei.

Furthermore, many recent signals indicate that Hua Mei is relaxing. As the younger brother, Dongyang must keep up.

Daisaku Yasuda came here this time, probably because he wanted to take a look at Hua Xia's attitude. After all, Du Fei's identity is extraordinary.

After thinking about this, Du Fei said to Bush: "George, since you brought this person, I must give you face." Bush was very satisfied with Du Fei's attitude and asked: "When is it convenient for you?"

Du Fei smiled and said, "It's hard to say for other people, but you can definitely come at any time that's convenient for you." Bush said, "Then tomorrow, I'll take him there tomorrow afternoon."

After agreeing on the time, Du Fei put down the phone, thought about it silently, and then picked it up again: "Hey, Brother Deng, I, Xiao Du, have something to do..."

After a while, the call was transferred to Dad Zhu, who said "hello".

Du Fei immediately summarized the situation just now, and finally asked: "Dad, do you think there is anything we need to pay attention to when meeting this Yasuda Daisaku?"

Dad Zhu thought for a moment and said, "You are just meeting in a private manner. There is nothing to avoid. You can talk about anything. You can first take a look at what they mean."

Du Fei responded "Yes" and asked again: "Dad, if the other party wants to explore some substantive issues, what attitude should I adopt?"

Dad Zhu understood what Du Fei was referring to.

Because the civil war broke out soon after the war, coupled with the subsequent Goryeo War, many things were delayed. Including war reparations.

The Japanese had been wreaking havoc in Huaxia for more than ten years, causing countless losses of life and property. Du Fei put down the phone and leaned on the back of his chair, thinking deeply.

At the same time, Swiss History Museum.

There is Bush's dedicated office here.

At this time, in the office, Bush smiled and talked to an Asian man in a suit.

This man is about 1.7 meters tall, which is considered relatively tall in Japan. He has a 40-60 parted hair and a lot of hair wax, making him shiny.

Just now I watched Bush talking to Du Fei on the phone. After the call ended, he immediately stood up and bowed: "Bush-san, thank you very much for your help."

Bush said: "Mr. Yasuda, you are too polite. We are not only allies, but my family also has deep cooperation with the Yasuda Group."

Yasuda Daisaku nodded repeatedly.

Bush reminded: "But Du Fei is not easy to talk to, you have to be mentally prepared. Yasuda Daisaku pursed his lips: "I have studied this person, and he is indeed a little different."

Bush said: "He pays more attention to practical interests, so don't fool him with some empty things. Yasuda Daisaku nodded thoughtfully.
