Chapter 1326 Must Be Eradicated Resolutely
Wok Bushi stayed in Kuching for two days, and then took a boat east to Wenlai.
The oil company's headquarters is located there, so as a director, he naturally had to go and take a look.
And the person from the Rockfield family was also waiting for his reply there.
The construction of Wenlai City has undergone tremendous changes in the past two years because of oil. When Du Fei and Jiao Zhi Bushi established the oil company, they agreed that one-third of the profits of the entire oil company must be invested in the infrastructure of the city and its surroundings.
In addition, the local labor cost is low, making it easier to do big things with little money.
The spacious streets, newly opened buses, the city's power grid and tap water make the development here one step faster than Kuching.
In a luxury suite of an eleven-story oil hotel next to the oil company's headquarters.
As soon as Walk Bushi settled down, he welcomed an expected guest.
Hyde Rockfield, a slightly bald, slightly fat middle-aged man.
"Mister Bushi, it's an honor to meet you again." Hyde Rockfield smiled and shook hands with Walk Bushi.
Although Walker also smiled, he was obviously not so enthusiastic: "Mr. Rockfield, I'm very sorry that I may disappoint you. Du refused to sell his shares."
Hyde's expression froze for a moment because of the straightforward words, and then he recovered: "Can you tell me the details?"
Walker shrugged and simply recounted the situation of meeting with Du Fei indifferently, and expressed the meaning of Du Fei's reply at that time.
At the end, he said: "You see, this is the situation. Our partners do not want third parties to intervene in the company. Although I personally and our family are very willing to cooperate with Rockfield, but... I have no choice."
Hyde's mouth corners were tightened downwards, and his eyes on his fat face were gloomy. He was already angry in his heart.
He said in a deep voice: "Of course, Mister Bushi, I understand your situation very well, but no one can easily refuse Rockfield. I will let that Oriental know the real rules of the game."
After that, he stood up and said goodbye.
Walker Bushi smiled and sent the other party out of the door, and curled his lips after he left.
His father had told him more than once before not to underestimate Du Fei and not to underestimate Hua Guo, because they could create miracles.
Obviously Hyde Rockfield did not realize this, because this was not America, Africa, or the Middle East.
Thinking of this, his eyes turned, and he immediately asked someone to send a telegram to ask his father if he could inform Du Fei of the news.
Walker felt that this was a favor and could be sold to Du Fei.
Although his brain was not very good, he had received a cramming elite education since childhood, and because he grew up in Texas, he had a tough temperament. Even in an aristocratic school, no one dared to provoke him, and at most they would talk behind his back.
And Walker was not really stupid, but he seemed to be half a beat slower than others in his circle.
At this time, he showed some cunning.
However, the call back he received surprised him a little. Jiao Zhi Bushi did not agree, but asked him not to do anything tricky.
According to the correction Bu Shi, the strength of our Bu Shi family is here. We entered the field earlier than Rockfield and are already in an invincible position. We can just watch them compete and there is no need to get involved. In the end, no matter whether Du Fei or Rockfield prevails, they will be inseparable from Bu Shi.
…
On the other side, Du Fei didn't know that Hyde Rockfield was going to teach him a lesson.
He was busy arranging the resettlement plan in Kuching.
At present, all the resources he could mobilize were mobilized.
Factories and workshops worked overtime to make tents, and dozens of bulldozers were used to clear a piece of open space near the harbor with tanks. Simple houses were being built as temporary resettlement points.
According to Du Fei's requirements, this temporary transfer resettlement area needs to accommodate at least 100,000 people.
This is not a small project. Just the toilets for 100,000 people are a big problem. If it cannot be properly solved, it will be smelly and diseases will be rampant in a few days.
Du Fei asked Lao Yang to be in charge here.
Since coming to Nanyang, Lao Yang has been like a fish in water and started a construction company.
In addition to Lao Yang, Chen Fangshi from the government sent someone to supervise to ensure that everything went well.
In addition, they prepared seeds and received agricultural machinery and tools transferred from the country, especially heavy tractors.
Without these big guys, it would be impossible to demolish the primeval forest and reclaim wasteland.
As for environmental protection, I can't care so much at this time. All the current principles are to serve the digestion of these 20 million people.
In addition, after the people come, how to guide them out of the temporary resettlement site. ,
Although they were organized one village at a time when they came, they had their own village secretary and a small team, but there were also corresponding problems.
The people who came this time were quite complicated. They had experienced trains and ships, long journeys, and were exhausted physically and mentally. People's psychological endurance reached the limit.
In this case, once there was any disturbance, it might cause unexpected situations.
Originally, according to Du Fei and Lin Tiansheng's plan, in order to avoid accidents as much as possible, they would draw up the area before the people arrived, and it would be best to build some houses first, so that people would not have to sleep in the open air. Although the climate conditions in Nanyang would not make people cold even in the wild, having a house would bring a greater sense of security and belonging psychologically.
However, after starting the actual operation, Du Fei soon discovered the problem.
With the resources they can mobilize at present, they can't support a population of tens of millions.
Lin Tiansheng has slightly more troops at present, but at most there are only about 100,000 people, while Du Fei has just over 50,000.
The two sides add up to less than 200,000, which is less than one percent of the 20 million people.
Although the government can mobilize other resources, it is mostly a drop in the bucket. It's too late to expect these people to get things done.
However, Du Fei has no better way at the moment. He has no experience or old rules to follow, so he can only deal with them as they come.
Soon, the first ship of disaster victims arrived at the port of Kuching.
Du Fei attached great importance to it and came to the dock in person as soon as possible. Chen Fangshi and relevant officials arrived.
The ship was originally a mixed cargo ship with a displacement of more than 10,000 tons. There were more than 20,000 people on board. The cargo hold was simply modified and a high-power ventilation fan was installed, otherwise people would suffocate to death.
As the cargo ship docked, troops immediately went up to help. This time, the whole family moved in large and small bags, and took all the belongings they could carry.
In addition to helping move things, the troops were also sent up to deter people and calm down the people who had been on the ship all the way.
The first person to get off the ship was a sweaty middle-aged man. He was the person in charge of the ship. His name was Shen Lianzhong. He had never been to Nanyang and didn't expect it to be so hot in this season.
He spoke with a heavy Shaanxi accent. After being introduced, he was a cadre from the county. He had followed here from Shaanxi Province. Most of the people who came on this ship were from their county.
Du Fei shook hands with him: "Hello, Comrade Shen Lianzhong, I am Du Fei, the deputy leader of this action team."
The relevant departments have already issued documents. Shen Lianzhong's eyes lit up and he quickly said: "Hello, Chief!"
Du Fei was not polite and asked about the situation on the road. There was nothing wrong and they arrived smoothly along the way.
After Shen Lianzhong finished speaking, he said with some worry: "Chief, where are we going next? Please give me a clear answer, so that I can tell the villagers when I go back and let them feel at ease."
Du Fei knew his difficulties: "Don't worry, everything has been arranged here. After getting off the boat, go to the temporary resettlement site to rest..."
But just halfway through, Shen Lianzhong had an idea and said: "Chief Du, how about I call all the 46 village secretaries who came with us, and you can tell them directly that you are the chief, and your prestige is stronger than mine. One word from you is worth a hundred words from me."
Du Fei couldn't help but look at Shen Lianzhong more. Although this guy is a bit cunning, he has to admit that his mind is quite active.
No wonder they asked him to follow a boat.
Du Fei nodded and said: "Okay, go and call everyone over, and I will tell them together."
Shen Lianzhong immediately responded and ran back to the boat quickly.
After a while, more than 40 people were brought down from the boat, representing dozens of natural villages.
These people had different expressions, some were worried, some were suspicious, some were nervous... After Shen Lianzhong's introduction, all eyes fell on Du Fei.
I didn't expect that this young man was actually a senior leader.
Du Fei didn't waste any words, he just coughed and said loudly: "Comrades!"
His voice was so loud, now he was using all his strength, as if he was using a megaphone: "I know that everyone is tired from the journey and left their hometown, and they are not at ease, but please rest assured and trust our government. Since we are here, we have arrived at our new home. Let's go to the temporary resettlement site to rest. There are houses and tents there, as well as herbal tea, fruit, and food. Everyone should eat and drink, and only when you are full of energy can you have the strength to build our new home..."
When everyone present heard that there was food, drink, and housing, they were relieved.
Du Fei added: "Don't be discouraged, go back and let the villagers sing. This is a new life, not a failure. I guarantee with my integrity that everyone will not regret coming here."
With Du Fei's guarantee, coupled with the trust in the government in their hearts, and most importantly, their feet have landed on the ground, people feel at ease.
After sending these village secretaries back, after a while, they really started singing sparsely.
People in this era don't know how to sing anything else, all of which are inspiring military songs, catchy, easy to sing and listen to.
Gradually, the singing became louder and more uniform, making the previously lifeless atmosphere of the port become warmer.
There are limited trucks to pick up people, and most of them are used to transport luggage, plus the elderly and children.
Other men and women automatically lined up in a large team, shaking a red flag in front of them, with a certain county and a certain village written on it.
In a blink of an eye, the people of the village automatically gathered together to form two columns, without even anyone shouting, showing super strong organization and discipline.
The whole port was a busy but not chaotic scene.
This made many local people in Nanyang dumbfounded, as they had never expected this situation.
In the previous imagination, there must be chaos and noise, and even no scene of crying for parents.
Although Kuching is hot in this season, it is about the same as the summer in Shaanxi Province. In addition, people who arrived here did not have much reaction because they prepared Rendan, Fengyoujing and other things to cool down in advance.
After arriving at the temporary resettlement site, hundreds of local Chinese medicine doctors had been prepared, and hundreds of pots of herbal tea for clearing heat and relieving summer heat were boiled, with a lot of medicinal materials added to prevent acclimatization.
In each village where they migrated, they had their own barefoot doctors, and they were also fully prepared.
On this journey, they took trains and ships, and were stuck in a small space, but no major problems occurred, thanks to these barefoot doctors.
In the afternoon, the large group of people finally arrived at the temporary resettlement site.
After drinking the not-so-good herbal tea, they saw the house and slept soundly. They saw that the receptionists were all Huaguo people. Although their accents were different, they were all their compatriots, which made them feel at ease.
Then there were fruits. Those who came to the camp were specially distributed with fruits. Although there were not many, each person only got a small piece.
But in their hometown, they had never eaten such fruits. They were considered lucky to have a piece of candy during the New Year.
Sweet, high-sugar fruits can relieve people's emotions and make people feel happy.
However, they could not stay here for long. Since it was called a temporary resettlement site, it was temporary.
After only one day of rest, the first batch of more than 20,000 people who arrived here were sent to the real resettlement site prepared for them by village in batches.
Here, some troops built several simple houses in advance and dug wells. More importantly, according to Du Fei's policy, land was distributed according to the number of people, 50 mu for men, 30 mu for women, and 15 mu for children.
That is to say, a family of four with two children can get 100 mu of land as long as they arrive in Borneo.
It is because of this foundation that Du Fei dared to promise to accept 20 million people in Borneo.
This 100 mu of land is the biggest ballast stone. For this 100 mu of land, even if a farmer suffers some grievances, drags his family, treks thousands of miles, and comes to a place where he is unfamiliar with people, it is enough to give a farmer new hope and expectation for his future life.
Originally, Shaanxi Province and Henan Province were places with many people and little land, especially Henan Province.
Some large families with several people only have a few mu of land, and when divided among people, each person only has a few mu of land.
In China, this is also the propaganda, which is why people can be organized and sent to the train so smoothly.
However, this is equivalent to dividing one-third of Borneo.
According to 20 million people, it takes 500 million mu of land to settle them all, which is more than 200,000 square kilometers, and the entire Borneo is only more than 700,000 square kilometers.
In addition to mountains, gullies, lakes, and rivers, these lands that cannot be cultivated are basically full of arable land.
But even so, things did not go so smoothly.
Du Fei and Lin Tiansheng, including the governments on both sides, were handling such a big situation for the first time.
Everyone was in a mess, and new problems soon emerged.
As more and more ships came, faster and faster, the side began to be overwhelmed.
The original plan was to let the troops divide the area first, build some houses, and dig deep wells, so that as long as people came, they could live.
But as the number of people coming every day increased from 20,000 to 30,000 to a peak of more than 100,000, Du Fei and Lin Tiansheng felt overwhelmed.
The progress of the front responsible for opening up the resettlement site could not keep up with the people coming later, which caused more people to pile up in the back and could not be dredged.
Although Du Fei ordered the expansion of the temporary resettlement site during this period, this expansion was just a drop in the bucket.
As the population pressure increased, the situation in the temporary resettlement site began to deteriorate, especially the increase in residential density, which made the sanitary conditions worse.
This put more and more pressure on the temporary resettlement site.
Du Fei has realized that this will definitely not work. If more people pile up in the temporary resettlement site, once it exceeds a certain limit, there will definitely be big problems.
And at this time, something really happened.
At noon that day, Du Fei was busy, and suddenly received a call, and his face changed instantly: "I'll be there right away!"
After saying that, he hung up the phone with a bang, and walked out quickly with an ugly face.
Just now, a fight broke out at the temporary resettlement site because of a quarrel, resulting in a large-scale confrontation.
Fortunately, the people who maintained order at the scene handled it in time, and no more serious consequences occurred, but they only suppressed it and did not solve the problem.
This is what Du Fei was worried about. Once the situation got out of control and caused large-scale casualties, it would be over.
Who knew that he ran into Lin Tiansheng as soon as he went out, and he was stunned: "Old Lin? Why are you here?"
Lin Tiansheng was also stunned, seeing that Du Fei was anxious: "You also have an accident here?"
Du Fei's heart trembled. This is the situation on his side, and Lin Tiansheng's side must not be better.
Although Lin Tiansheng's place receives fewer people, the infrastructure and financial resources are not as good as Du Fei's, and the pressure he faces is not small at all.
Sure enough, after the two got in the car and talked briefly, the situation was similar.
Lin Tiansheng had dealt with the situation and knew that he could not delay any longer, so he flew over immediately to discuss countermeasures with Du Fei.
Both of them had serious expressions and were speechless in the car.
When the car arrived at the temporary resettlement site, he felt the solemn atmosphere as soon as he got off the car.
In the square in the middle of the resettlement site, two groups of people were clearly confronting each other, each with a fierce momentum. Some held sticks, and some held shovels and pickaxes...
Du Fei probably knew the cause, but it didn't matter. It was just a pretext, an excuse to vent his emotions.
At this time, someone shouted, "The officials are here!"
In an instant, everyone's eyes turned to Du Fei and Lin Tiansheng, but there was not much fear and dread. Instead, they seemed to have found a new target and rushed over immediately.
The guards who came with the two immediately went up to stop them, and in an instant, they were in chaos.
Du Fei frowned, and mentally evaluated the current situation and whether he needed to take iron-fisted measures.
In this situation, if there were no iron-fisted measures, the chaos might spread to the entire temporary resettlement site.
If things really get chaotic, the consequences will be disastrous.
However, just when Du Fei was about to give an order, Lin Tiansheng suddenly stood up, raised his hand high, and fired a shot.
The gunshot made the chaotic people quiet for a moment.
Lin Tiansheng immediately shouted: "I am Lin Tiansheng, tell me what you want to say."
Du Fei reacted very quickly and immediately understood Lin Tiansheng's intention. He was also anxious just now, and his background made him subconsciously not think of this method.
Now he reacted and immediately stepped forward to agree: "Fellow villagers, you can say if you have any grievances, and if you have any requests, don't mess around!"
It should be said that Lin Tiansheng's reputation is still quite large. He was the one who suppressed the problems on his side before.
However, no matter how famous a person is, it is useless if he can't solve the problem. Therefore, Lin Tiansheng suppressed the situation and immediately came to Du Fei for consultation. I didn't expect it to be useful here.
But it really worked, after all, after years of publicity.
In addition, these people didn't want to do anything, they were just forced to vent their emotions.
Du Fei and Lin Tiansheng personally appeased them for a while, and promised to solve the problem, and finally suppressed the situation.
But the problem still had to be solved in the end. The root cause was that there were too many people in the temporary resettlement site. If they could not be evacuated as soon as possible, no matter who came next time, something would happen sooner or later.
In another hour, another ship would arrive, and the situation would only become more and more difficult.
Coming out of the temporary resettlement site, Du Fei and Lin Tiansheng looked at each other, and Du Fei took out a cigarette and handed it to Lin Tiansheng.
Lin Tiansheng lit it and took a puff and said, "Old Du, what do you think we should do next? I can't hold on any longer."
Du Fei frowned and said in a deep voice, "Old Lin, it will definitely not work if we continue with the original method now. Before we can arrange things in front, the temporary resettlement site must be blown up first."
Lin Tiansheng knew this without Du Fei saying it.
The question was what to do?
For a while, neither of them spoke, until they finished smoking a cigarette, and Du Fei threw the cigarette butt on the ground fiercely, as if he had made some kind of determination.
Lin Tiansheng's heart moved: "Do you have a solution?"
Du Fei pursed his lips tightly and said with some difficulty: "At this point, it is definitely not possible to rely on our strength. Simply, like Dayu's flood control, it is better to drain than to block."
Lin Tiansheng was startled and understood what Du Fei meant: "You want..." He looked at the noisy temporary resettlement site not far away: "Let them go?"
Du Fei nodded and said: "These people come from one village after another, and many of them are from the same county. The militia in the village is not a decoration. You should know this better than me. Their combat effectiveness is no worse than that of the regular army. As long as they are given guns, we will provide food, tractors, and seeds. But if you want to build a village and want land, you can go by yourself..."
Du Fei didn't say the last word "rob", but the meaning was already very clear, and Lin Tiansheng understood it.
Lin Tiansheng frowned and looked at Du Fei.
Obviously this is the best way to solve the problem, but once Pandora's box is opened, it will be difficult to lock the devil back.
If the militias in each village are really armed, it is difficult to predict what consequences will eventually result.
But it is certain that there will be sequelae of fierce folk customs, and the conflict with local people will turn from controllable to out of control.
Du Fei took a deep breath and said: "I can't care so much now. I have to act in an emergency. I can't think of any better way except this." At this point, he looked at the temporary resettlement site again: "Besides, we don't have much time. At most three days, the number of people piled up here will exceed 300,000..."
Du Fei and Lin Tiansheng knew what the consequences would be.
Du Fei made up his mind: "Let's take care of the present first~ If the present difficulties cannot be overcome, what consequences will we talk about in the future. As for the issue of weapons, only light weapons will be issued, no heavy equipment."
Lin Tiansheng nodded, and the two agreed on the general direction and quickly made decisions on the details.
Lin Tiansheng said: "In addition, each village must be well planned, and there must be no situation of killing each other."
Du Fei nodded: "This is the bottom line. In troubled times, severe punishments are used. Anyone who dares to cross the line will be shot directly and will not be tolerated." Then Du Fei paused and continued: "In addition, we must immediately take action against the Kingdom of Dayat and East Kalimantan."
Lin Tian understood that if he really let go, the bottom line he and Du Fei had in his hands would not be enough to divide.
"Don't worry, leave this to me." Lin Tiansheng was full of confidence.
After making the decision, both of them breathed a sigh of relief, at least the crisis in front of them could be resolved.
Two hours later, in the square in the middle of the temporary resettlement site, Du Fei called all the 96 village secretaries and 17 commissioners from various counties who were currently here, and immediately announced the results of his discussion with Lin Tiansheng.
Everyone present was stunned. They didn't expect Du Fei to suddenly announce this decision.
The reactions of the people were also different. Some were happy, some were worried, and some were uneasy... But no matter what the reaction was, the decision would not change after it was made.
No matter what the consequences will be, they will be jointly borne by Du Fei and Lin Tiansheng.
After the meeting, the news quickly spread to the entire temporary resettlement site.
Although it caused some controversy, there were still more people supporting it.
First, Du Fei promised to give them guns and bullets, which gave them the ability to defend themselves. With guns in hand, they would not be panicked.
Another thing is that although they were trapped in the temporary resettlement store these days and had food and drink, there were more and more people and the conditions were getting worse and worse, which was also in front of them.
Anyone with a bit of foresight would understand that it would not work if things continued like this.
On the contrary, Du Fei's decision relieved many worried people.
Doing so would decompose a concentrated big contradiction into many scattered small contradictions. No matter what happens in the end, it would be better than the current concentrated contradiction.
However, there was another problem, that is, Du Fei did not have so many weapons.
Even if he urgently transferred them from the army, they would not be enough to be sent down here, and he had to ask for them from the country.
But in any case, the first batch of people who received weapons, a total of 14 villages, more than 8,500 people, left the temporary resettlement site under the guidance of the guide early the next morning.
By 4 pm, a total of seven batches, more than 87,000 people left the temporary resettlement site.
The pressure on the temporary resettlement site was greatly reduced. Even though five ships arrived during the day and brought more than 80,000 people, it was still the first time in these days that the number of people at the temporary resettlement site decreased.
Then, a large number of people left the next day.
The weapons were distributed according to the standard of one platoon per village, including at least three automatic rifles such as 56 submachine guns or AK-47, and the rest were semi-automatic or bolt-action rifles, plus two boxes of grenades.
With these weapons, there was no need to be afraid of encountering unfriendly people or wild beasts in the primeval forest.
However, Du Fei did not expect that an unexpected situation still occurred.
Just over half a month after the decision to distribute the guns was made, the situation has been improving.
A large number of old-fashioned firearms sealed in the country were transported here, and Huaguo also experienced the speed of air transportation for the first time.
The aircraft manufacturing plant produced three Y-8s during this period, which were originally prepared to be converted into gunships, but were urgently requisitioned before the conversion.
A fully loaded airlift of 20 tons of supplies took off from Guangzhou and landed in Kuching, taking less than four hours. One plane flew two round trips a day, and more than 1,200 tons of guns and bullets were airlifted in just ten days.
However, as the resettlement villages extended deeper into Borneo, more and more unexpected situations were encountered.
With firepower advantage, the professionally trained militia can handle anyone and any wild animals.
There are no large cats in Borneo. The most dangerous ones are pythons and monitor lizards, which can be killed with just a sniper.
However, Du Fei received a report that day that a village was in trouble more than 150 kilometers southeast of Kuching.
This is already deep in Borneo, covered by virgin forests and rarely visited by people.
According to the plan, three villages will be settled nearby, and Sanhe Village from Shaanxi Province will arrive first.
Because there is no strict demarcation line, the village secretary of Sanhe Village plans to choose a place with the best terrain to settle down.
Set up a temporary camp, and the next day go to a nearby hill to check the terrain, but something unexpected happened.
The old village secretary and two militiamen never returned!
The villagers immediately sent more people to look for them, but several people were killed and injured in the forest. The survivors were also scared and said that there was something strange in the forest.
At this time, the people from the other two villages that were to be resettled nearby also arrived. They were also surprised to encounter this situation.
They had just arrived and were not familiar with the local situation. When they heard that several people were missing, they did not dare to act rashly. They immediately contacted their superiors and dispatched regular troops.
This was also the rule set by Du Fei. The villages below must contact for help immediately when they encounter difficulties that cannot be solved, so as not to cause unnecessary casualties.
After receiving the report, the nearby troops attached great importance to it and immediately sent a company of people carrying 120mm heavy mortars and flamethrowers.
However, when they arrived at the place, this heavy firepower-equipped force actually suffered a great loss!
Only then did they report the situation to Du Fei.
Du Fei guessed the general situation as soon as he heard the situation.
There are many secrets hidden in the primeval forests of Borneo. When Du Fei was using missiles to attack Suhatu before, he encountered a temple built of black stones in the south of Borneo.
At that time, Du Fei felt that there was something hidden inside.
But at that time, he had something important to do, so he didn't waste time and chose another place. In the end, he still reminded Lin Tiansheng to send a heavy artillery company to bomb the temple.
This time is probably the same situation, but the degree seems to be more serious than the temple located in the southwest corner of Borneo. Even the 120-caliber heavy mortar couldn't handle it!
This kind of thing threatens the safety of people's lives and property, and it is also the dregs of feudal superstition. It must be resolutely eradicated.
