Chapter 1388 Two Small Islands and $100 Million

Iger's loyalty is beyond doubt. He sensed Du Fei's emotions and thoughts and immediately said firmly: "I will go to America in person..."

Du Fei looked at Iger and patted him on the shoulder: "You are my right hand, why do you need to go for such a thing?"

With Iger's current status and importance, of course he can't do such a bloody thing.

There are other people to do such dirty and tiring work.

Soon, the leader of the Black Lagoon Mercenary Group, Daqi, appeared in Julie's garden by the sea.

This time, Rockfield sent Viper to assassinate Du Fei. Although Du Fei was safe and sound and Viper was folded in, Du Fei had to respond.

As the old saying goes, there is only a thief who can do things for a thousand days, so there is no reason to guard against thieves for a thousand days.

If there is no response, next time there will be another "rattlesnake" or "cobra", Du Fei will have a hard time.

More importantly, if others see this situation and follow suit, it will be more troublesome.

Therefore, Du Fei must make a strong counterattack to let others see the consequences of doing so.

And this is just an opportunity. It was Rockfield who first provoked the assassination, so it is only natural for Du Fei to counterattack with the same means.

In a Chinese pavilion, Du Fei sat on a rattan chair, and Dutch, wearing black sunglasses, stood beside him.

Neither of them looked at each other, staring at the blue sea in the distance.

Du Fei said lightly: "Don't rush to act this time, but you can reveal some of your whereabouts. Do you understand what I mean?"

Dutch is very smart and nodded slightly: "I understand, boss~ The sword of Damocles hanging over your head is the most terrifying."

Du Fei smiled. Dutch is really smart, especially in finding his own way of survival in various complex relationships.

In fact, Du Fei sent the Black Lagoon Mercenary Group this time, and he didn't expect them to assassinate Old Rockfield or other core members of the Rockfield family.

After the failure of Viper, it is not surprising that the alert level of the entire Rockfield family will be raised to the highest level.

With the strength of the Black Lagoon Mercenary Group, it may cause them some trouble, but it is difficult to cause much substantial damage.

And once the Black Lagoon is used, the action is launched, and it fails again, it will cause an equal effect with Du Fei. I failed to assassinate you once, and now you kill me again. It is a give and take, and no one owes anyone anything.

At that time, Rockfield can negotiate peace through some channels.

Du Fei does not want to give them this opportunity. The war was provoked by you. When and how it ends, it is up to me to decide.

Du Fei will not play this card easily. In fact, the Black Lagoon Mercenary Group is just a cover to make Rockfield uncomfortable and nervous.

Dutch finally reminded: "Boss, I know you are very powerful, but Rockfield is also very powerful. No one can kill them in America."

Du Fei smiled: "Thank you for the reminder, it doesn't matter, I will let them know that it is a huge mistake to provoke me."

...

Three days later, under the Rockfield Building in Manhattan with a twisted waist.

A Cadillac sedan stopped, the bodyguard opened the door and an old man got out of the car.

Because the weather was cold, the black woolen coat covered his chin, and he wore a woolen hat of the same color.

After getting out of the car, the old man paused for a moment and looked back at the street.

At this time, in an apartment building one kilometer away, there was a window that could just see the Cadillac.

Dutch stood by the window with a telescope in his hand.

Next to him, a black man with a serious expression was aiming with a sniper rifle.

In the scope, it can be clearly seen that the old man who just got out of the car was old Rockfield.

The moment he got out of the car and paused was the best sniper opportunity. As long as he gently pulled the trigger, the bullet would penetrate the man's head in one second.

However, as a commander, Dutch never gave any orders.

Until he saw the old man walked into the building and disappeared from sight.

The sniper with a gun frowned and put down the gun, looked at Dutch with some dissatisfaction, and shouted "Boss". Although he didn't say anything, the meaning was very clear.

However, Dutch, who also put down the telescope, said directly, which made him lose his temper: "That's a stand-in."

The sniper was startled. He didn't know how Dutch judged it, but he believed in Dutch's judgment.

Dutch put down the telescope and patted his companion: "Don't be too nervous. We are not here for an assassination mission this time. Do you understand? We are just a frontal feint. It's enough to make the other party feel pressure. Don't be smart. The boss doesn't like it."

The sniper was stunned and looked away.

In fact, Dutch had already reminded them of their real mission this time.

But as a sniper, he has his own plan. If he has the opportunity, he must kill Lockefield. Once that happens, he will become a legend in the industry.

Obviously, his little thoughts were seen through by Dutch, who reminded him: "We are mercenaries, tools for doing things with money. Don't have too many ideas of our own. Sooner or later, it will kill you."

The sniper was silent...

On the other side, 'Old Lockefield' who just got off the car did not go directly to the office on the top floor.

Instead, the bodyguard who was responsible for opening the car door just now took the high-speed elevator to the top floor.

Just as Dutch judged, the man just now was indeed a substitute, and the real old Rockefeller was already in the office.

"Did the other party fall for it?" Old Rockfield held a cigar in his hand, and a puff of smoke flowed out of his mouth while he spoke.

The bodyguard was a tall blond man with cold features like a knife, and his eyes were even colder. He said in a deep voice: "Yes, I felt someone was watching just now. It should be a sniper. I am familiar with that feeling."

Old Rockfield said: "Black Lagoon Mercenary Group, I have heard of this name, and I heard that it is quite difficult, right?"

The bodyguard said: "Please rest assured, as long as I am here, I will definitely ensure your personal safety."

Old Rockfield smiled and said: "Of course, you are the strongest in America."

The bodyguard nodded slightly: "Thank you for the compliment." But his attitude was more serious: "However, I felt that the other party's intention to attack just now seemed not strong, otherwise they would not have arranged only one sniper. This is not the strength of Black Lagoon."

Old Rockfield frowned and said: "What do you mean?"

The bodyguard said: "Maybe the other party anticipated that we would use a substitute in advance, or they may have other purposes..."

Old Rockfield pursed his lips and realized the current passive situation.

Just like playing chess, he had made a move before, but failed, and now the enemy is counterattacking.

The enemy is not ready to attack, and if he keeps tense, it will cause him great trouble. But if he relaxes a little, he may be exploited, and he will immediately turn the virtual into real and give him a hard blow.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door.

Old Rockfield said "Come in".

A secretary in a suit came in, ignored the bodyguard, and came to the desk: "Sir, your telegram is from Kuching."

Old Rockfield frowned, picked up the telegram paper on the table and quickly glanced at it.

The content of the telegram is very simple: "Dear Mr. Rockfield, I am very sorry to greet you in this way. Thank you for the gift you gave me a few days ago. I am also going to give you a return gift. Please look forward to the subsequent surprise."

The signature is, your friend who is far away in the East and has never met.

Old Rockfield looked ugly, and he knew without thinking that this telegram was sent by Du Fei.

In fact, when he learned that Viper was dead the day before yesterday, Old Rockfield regretted it.

He didn't expect that Du Fei had a stronger master than Viper. This time he definitely lost more than he gained.

Viper's death was a huge loss for the Rockfield family. Each of these top masters in the world was extremely precious. They were both real military force and deterrent force.

Viper's death left his family with a huge security loophole.

Although Rockfield was powerful, it meant that his enemies were equally powerful.

In order to make up for Viper's death, Rockfield had to invest a lot of resources to quickly adjust and remedy.

Not to mention, he had also provoked a more difficult opponent.

However, it was meaningless to say anything at this point. Old Rockfield took a deep breath and had to find a way to solve the difficulties at hand.

According to Du Fei's previous style of doing things, he would definitely not be beaten without fighting back. He would definitely retaliate later.

Sure enough, the Black Lagoon Mercenary Group appeared, but it was only a feint. What would happen next was even more unpredictable.

The only advantage now was that he was in America. If he sent someone to assassinate him directly in America, he would have to bear great consequences.

After all, the government of America also wants to save face.

Including asking Viper to assassinate Du Fei before, given the current relationship between America and Huaguo, if Du Fei returns to the capital, Viper will definitely not dare to go there.

Similarly, old Rockfield does not believe that Du Fei dares to send the master who killed Viper to America.

Modern weapons of mass destruction can already threaten the safety of such masters.

And masters of this level often have more important value and cannot be lost in vain.

On the contrary, the Black Lagoon Mercenary Group will not affect the power of the government even if they know that they want to assassinate Rockfield.

So, to a certain extent, as long as he does not leave America, he can guarantee his own safety to the greatest extent.

...

On the other hand, Du Fei is also facing a problem.

That is, how to deal with Rockfield Oil Company in the future.

Although three drilling platforms were destroyed before, Rockfield still has many industries in Nanyang, including oil production, oil refining, and some other investments.

Some people in Kuching suggested that they should just go all out and drive Rockfield away.

Du Fei didn't think so. Nanyang was not Rockfield's main business. Even if all the Rockfields in Nanyang were driven away, it would indeed cause them some losses, but it would not hurt them.

Du Fei finally decided that not only could they not be touched, but they should also invite Rockfield's people to come and sign a new contract for oil extraction.

As long as they stay, they have to pay taxes according to the law.

Previously, Du Fei used the advantage of anti-ship missiles to defeat the South Vietnamese Navy in one fell swoop.

Although it was not a complete annihilation, it also destroyed most of the surface ships. Du Fei took the opportunity to announce that some of the sea areas originally occupied by South Vietnam all belonged to Kuching.

Companies that had signed mining agreements with South Vietnam before must come to Kuching to exchange contracts within a certain period of time.

Of course, this contract is not exchanged for nothing, and a sum of money must be paid.

Only by paying the money can they continue to extract oil. If someone doesn't pay, that doesn't matter, but there is no guarantee that their drilling platform will not sink to the bottom of the sea inexplicably like the previous Rockfield drilling platforms.

As for the attitude of the Saigon government, they don't have time to worry about it now. There are even bigger troubles waiting for them.

Just after defeating the main force of the South Vietnamese navy, the guided missile cruiser Kuching did not move, and Du Fei sent out several other destroyers, patrol boats, and minesweepers.

Headed straight to the east of South Vietnam and occupied two islands, one is Conlun Island and the other is Phugui Island.

Although these two islands are not big, they are both under the nose of Saigon. The straight-line distance is only more than 200 kilometers. Off the coast of Saigon, it seems that General Hengha is blocking the door.

The original garrison on the island surrendered without any resistance.

Du Fei didn't embarrass them and sent a boat back.

Then, as expected, the American garrison sent someone.

The person who came was an acquaintance, it was Colonel Siwo Judd who had been purchasing supplies from Du Fei and was in charge of liaison here.

As his name suggests, Colonel Seewo is a very economically minded man. He is short, somewhat bald, and has a cunning and shrewd look in his eyes. Even in military uniform, he looks more like a businessman.

"Hey Judd, McFrand." Du Fei smiled and hugged Colonel Seewo.

Colonel Seewo was quite relaxed and not serious about coming to negotiate. Anyway, he was not from South Vietnam.

"Du, long time no see." Colonel Siwo smiled with a smile on his face: "I heard that you and Rockefeller were having a bad time? Those damn capitalists..."

Du Fei was not surprised that Colonel Seewo said such a thing, because Colonel Seewo had made no secret of his hatred of capitalists long ago, and he also made no secret of his desire to become an evil capitalist.

It's a pity that he is still far from qualified. Now that he has finally climbed to the position of colonel, he can still only play the role of white gloves.

But forget about hearing this. Colonel Siwo will not admit it if he leaves this room or if there are other people.

After exchanging a few words, the two sat down and chatted for a while before getting to the main topic of the day.

Colonel Seewo didn't have any ethics of "receiving people's trust and doing things loyally". He didn't speak to the Saigon government who asked him to come. He said with a smile: "They want to spend money to redeem the two islands."

Du Fei sneered: "Redeem it? How much will it cost?"

Colonel Seewo said: "Ten million dollars."

Du Fei curled his lips: "Do you need his ten million?"

Colonel Siwo said with a smile, "That's it! I told them when I came here that 10 million will definitely not be enough. They said they can add more money. What do you mean?"

Du Fei said: "More money? How much money can Saigon still have to spend now? Those who have some brains are probably thinking about how to make another profit~"

Colonel Siwo frowned and asked tentatively: "Du, do you really want those two islands?"

Du Feifeng said calmly: "What do I want there? It belongs to you." This attitude is necessary. Although America is clamoring to withdraw its troops, this place is still their forbidden area and will not allow outsiders to covet it. .

It doesn't matter if you attack South Vietnam's warships or even extort some money. Once land is involved, it's a different matter.

This is also the biggest reason why Colonel Seewo came so quickly.

If Du Fei hadn't grabbed these two islands, he wouldn't have been so happy even if there was a fight in Saigon.

It's just that what Du Fei said is somewhat credible, but it's hard to judge.

Colonel Siwo watched Du Fei's eyes and expressions, hoping to find some clues.

Du Fei continued: "Judd, they came to beat me first. Now that I have lost, I will definitely have to pay compensation."

Colonel Siwo nodded.

Du Fei took out a cigarette and handed one to Colonel Siwo: "I use these two places as a means, and the effect is obvious~ Otherwise, can you come to my place?"

Colonel Seewo suddenly realized that this was true. Without these two islands, he would not have come all the way to Kuching.

Anyway, it’s just Kuching and Saigon fighting each other~

"Then what do you want..." Colonel Siwo asked the key question again.

Du Fei stretched out a finger: "Tell Saigon that $100 million is enough."

These words directly blocked Colonel Seewo's bargaining opportunity. He just asked him to convey it, and nothing else was needed.

Colonel Seewo didn't beg for nothing. Anyway, there was no need to take out any money from his pocket.

Afterwards, the two talked about other things and had dinner together before Du Fei saw the colonel off.

Back again, Julie sat in the room waiting.

"Is the child asleep?" Du Fei asked.

In the past few days, Julie and her children came out of the hospital and stayed in the garden by the sea. Du Fei was also here.

Julie said "Hmm" and said, "This beautiful girl is so easy to get rid of~"

Du Fei sat down next to him: "It's not a family matter, just forget it. Now that America's withdrawal from South Vietnam is almost a foregone conclusion, they have already had grass in their hearts." As he spoke, his eyes scanned Julie's body. , said with a smile: "Does our daughter have enough to eat? I will help you suck~"

Zhu Li rolled her eyes and raised her hand to hit him: "You're not doing your job right."

Du Fei grabbed her and said, "Have you missed me for such a long time?"

Julie's cheeks felt hot, but they were also an old couple.

An ordinary person would not be able to do this just after giving birth, but Julie's physique is different from ordinary people and she recovered two days earlier.

…

On the other side, Colonel Seewo flew back to Saigon and immediately met with America's top commander here.

"Your Excellency Jiang Jun, this is roughly the situation." Colonel Siwo recounted the situation of his meeting with Du Fei.

Sitting on the sofa next to him was an old man with gray hair.

Since more than a year ago, Abram's army was ordered to return to the country, and no new commander was assigned.

This is already a very clear signal.

The old man was silent for a moment and asked: "Do you think what he said is true?"

Colonel Xiwo said: "Sir, forgive me for being frank, whether it is true or not, does it matter to us? Besides, this time Rockfield mobilized the resources of the Saigon government for personal gain, and ended up like this. If they don't come to clean up the mess, why should we clean up the mess?"

The old man was silent, then sighed tiredly, waved his hand and said: "Forget it, go ahead~"
