Chapter 1406 Special Autonomous City

As the news of the compensation agreement with Japan spread back to China, the people rejoiced instantly.

This is undoubtedly a great victory. This is not just a compensation, but it marks the end of an era.

Since 1840, land has been ceded and compensation has been paid again and again.

Although several key wars have been won in recent years, no compensation has been received.

Until this time, I finally saw the money coming back!

Although a few billion dollars cannot be compared with the losses caused by the Japanese devils in the land of Huaguo for decades, this is indeed a landmark event.

From then on, those stubborn old men in the East could no longer say the bullshit remarks of "losing Amei but not Huaguo".

What's more encouraging is that our soldiers stood on the land of the East and washed away the century-old shame in spirit.

Although this is far from enough in Du Fei's view, it is the best result that can be achieved at present.

To get more, Huaguo's current strength is not enough.

On that day, a grand celebration was held from day to night.

Even the elderly who were old and in poor health made an exception and drank a few more cups that night.

At the same time, Za Huang, who was far away in Hokkaido.

Nagano Toban and Yamada Kenjiro also received the news that Huaguo and Dongyang had reached an agreement.

The two did not react much.

At this time, Hokkaido had entered winter, and because of the humid climate, heavy snow fell early.

The two wore traditional costumes and sat under the porch, with a small table in the middle and wine heated on the clay stove.

"Nagano-kun, you must feel bad~" Yamada Kenjiro picked up the wine pot and filled two cups.

Nagano Touban has indeed matured. Looking at the snow-capped mountains in the distance, he said lightly: "It's a result that I expected a long time ago. There's nothing bad about it." Then he retracted his gaze and looked at Yamada Kenjiro: "Does Yamada think that we have the conditions for independence now?"

Yamada Kenjiro smiled bitterly and drank a glass of wine by himself: "Yes~ After all, we are still too weak. But I didn't expect that those people in Tokyo would agree to such harsh conditions. It's really..."

Nagano Touban said: "They are all living puppets. Now Huaguo is much more valuable to America than Tokyo."

Yamada Kenjiro was silent, his mood was very complicated.

Although he was very happy to see Tokyo suffer a setback, he felt uncomfortable about the compensation and garrison.

But objectively speaking, this result is good news for Hokkaido.

Only when Huaguo and America are closer, Hokkaido will be more valuable to Moscow, and they can get more assistance.

On the other hand, the flat soil of Kitagari.

When Park Zhe heard the news, he was following his father to inspect the farm.

Thanks to the cheap energy obtained from Speedlink, Beigaoli realized agricultural modernization early, and the grain production in recent years has been good.

In addition, Du Fei's route from Nanyang to Eastern Europe transited here, and he reaped another wave of dividends, and the situation was very good.

However, after receiving this news, Park's father frowned and sighed: "It has finally come to this."

Park Zhe frowned, he knew that this was not just a matter between Huaguo and Dongyang, the most important thing was actually America behind them.

Reaching this agreement marked that Huamei had moved from mutual testing to a new stage.

America took out real money, and Huaguo must treat her with sincerity in the next step.

As for how to treat each other with sincerity, everyone knew it well.

Huaguo and America were originally enemies, and now they can come together with the help of Speedlink.

Beigaoli is caught between the two sides, and it is probably going to be difficult.

Park Zhe thought for a moment and suggested, "Father, how about I go to Du Fei to talk about the tone over there?"

Park's father thought about it and nodded slowly. Now he really needs to confirm Huaguo's attitude.

Although in the general direction, Huamei will definitely join forces to deal with Sulian, but there are many considerations on how to deal with it.

Is it a direct conflict or an indirect conflict, a head-on confrontation or a soft knife.

At the same time, Hanoi, more than 2,800 kilometers southwest of Pyongyang.

In the old governor's mansion during the colonial period, Li Zhu looked at the telegram in his hand with a gloomy face.

As a politician with a broad vision and great ambition, he certainly understood what this meant.

In the future, even if he drove away America, he would face a more complex and changeable situation.

The last time, after he had a fierce quarrel with Wu Ting, he had taken the opportunity to deprive Wu Ting of his command, but this could not completely resolve their internal differences.

……

As Huaguo and Dongyang reached a final agreement, the two sides began to negotiate the normalization of relations.

Amid the close concern of the surrounding areas, 1974 came to an end.

A few months passed in a blink of an eye, and the Spring Festival was just a few days away.

Du Fei got off work that day and was playing with his children at home after dinner.

Xiao Zhengze had already grown up, and Zhu Ting's second child, nicknamed Dudu, could crawl now.

At this time, the phone suddenly rang.

Zhu Ting came out of the kitchen after washing the dishes, picked up the phone, and her face changed immediately.

"What happened?" Du Fei asked.

Zhu Ting said: "An earthquake! Liaoning Province, more than seven magnitude~"

Du Fei's heart trembled, and he suddenly remembered the famous earthquake that killed more than 200,000 people.

The next moment he realized that the time and place didn't match.

Du Fei immediately got up and took the phone: "Okay, I'll arrange it right away... No problem... I can take off at any time..."

The call was for Du Fei, hoping to dispatch some transport planes for disaster relief.

It just so happened that the aircraft manufacturing plant had a batch of undelivered Y-8 transport planes and ten gunships.

Du Fei quickly put on his clothes. In this situation, he definitely couldn't sit at home. This was a matter of attitude.

What's more, the call was made to his home.

Du Fei kissed Zhu Ting: "Wait at home, I'll go over and take a look."

She had agreed so happily on the phone just now, and she definitely couldn't let him down. No one except Du Fei dared to make the decision at the aircraft manufacturing plant.

Du Fei called a car and rushed straight to the aircraft manufacturing plant.

Before he came out just now, he had called the factory and immediately asked the workers who had left work to come back to work urgently.

When Du Fei arrived, the aircraft manufacturing plant was already brightly lit.

The gate that was usually closed was open, and trucks drove in one after another, transporting disaster relief supplies.

In addition, there were also pilots who were urgently dispatched.

There were 15 Y-8 transport planes and 10 gunships at the aircraft manufacturing plant.

Together with the 20 planes drawn from the army, they can reach the disaster area within 40 minutes after taking off.

Du Fei frowned as he watched the people loading relief supplies onto the planes, feeling that something was missing.

Suddenly, he thought of: "Director Wang!"

Wang Changyou was right next to him and responded immediately.

Du Fei shouted: "Searchlight! There is an earthquake, and there must be no water or electricity. It's dark, how can we save people without light?"

Wang Changyou slapped his forehead. He was also confused. This was the first time he encountered such a situation. He just answered the phone and it came. He hasn't recovered yet.

He hurriedly said: "I'll ask someone to install it now."

Du Fei said: "The transport plane can go first, and the gunboat will stay to install the searchlight."

The earthquake occurred at around 7 o'clock in the disaster area of ​​Liao Province, and it is now almost 9 o'clock.

Because of the power outage, the entire disaster area was dark, and only a few places had flashlights emitting weak light.

Fortunately, before the earthquake, scientists made predictions, and the provincial leaders issued an order to "avoid the disaster."

When a strong earthquake occurs, most people are relatively safe.

This is also the only time in the world that an earthquake was accurately predicted before it occurred, and a disaster avoidance order was issued, effectively reducing casualties.

But at this time, the disaster area was still in a mess, and most of the urban areas became ruins.

Although the nearby troops quickly mobilized to carry out rescue, they lacked experience and equipment, and it was dark, so the efficiency can be imagined.

At this time, a burst of "thump thump" suddenly came from the south.

A fleet of more than a dozen Y-8 transport planes arrived, and they had been contacted in advance.

Although the nearby airport was severely damaged, immediate repairs had met the requirements for the take-off and landing of the Y-8.

Not far ahead, after radio contact, searchlights were turned on on both sides of the runway of the airport to guide the plane to land.

About ten minutes after this batch of planes passed, there was movement again.

This time, the planes did not go to the airport, but dispersed and circled over the earthquake zone.

In the next moment, almost at the same time, dozens of dazzling white beams of light cut through the dark night sky. The heavy machine guns originally installed on both sides of the gunship were all replaced with high-power searchlights, as if more than 20 small suns appeared in the sky in an instant.

After the earthquake, the ruins on the ground were clearly visible under the searchlight.

Looking down from above, there were almost no intact houses.

…

The next morning, Du Fei stayed in the aircraft manufacturing plant for a night, and only slept for a while after four in the morning, and woke up again at dawn.

After a night of rescue, the situation in the earthquake zone was reported back.

Although the magnitude was high and the destructive power was very strong, the number of direct deaths was not too large due to advance prediction and mobilization for evacuation.

The preliminary estimate is about several thousand people.

Compared with an earthquake of this magnitude, and occurring in a densely populated industrial area, if there is no advance forecast, the number of casualties is likely to exceed 100,000.

Du Fei washed his face and sat in the office thinking about the bigger disaster next year.

Even if he couldn't stop this kind of natural disaster, he could only try to minimize the losses.

Imitating this experience may have some effect.

Thinking of this, Du Fei couldn't help but sighed. Everything could only be left to fate.

The subsequent disaster relief was very smooth. Although the earthquake caused a lot of losses, there were not many deaths. In the end, there were only more than 2,000 people.

Two months later.

In April, Principal Chang passed away.

This matter had nothing to do with Du Fei, but he didn't expect to receive a letter just a few days later.

The letter was sent by Ms. Yu from America.

In addition to some greetings and courtesy, she thanked Du Fei for his help before and said that her property had been unfrozen.

Then she mentioned the matter of rescuing her husband again.

Last time Du Fei mentioned it, it was not the right time, and Principal Chang had to be gone before he could make a deal.

Now a few months have passed, and Principal Chang is gone.

Not only that, Ms. Yu increased the stakes again. As long as her husband could be released, in addition to the 30 million US dollars reward she promised before, she was also willing to take out a large number of precious antiques. In short, she would save people at all costs.

After reading the letter, Du Fei felt a little emotional.

How could Zhang Jiangjun marry such a woman?

But putting aside these factors, how to deal with this matter still needs careful consideration.

Besides, Yizhou is still holding a funeral, and it would be bad to go to the door and get angry at this time.

A month later, after spending May Day in Beijing, Du Fei set off for Hong Kong.

Because of the so-called "Carnation" incident in Portugal, Portugal voluntarily gave up all its overseas territories, including Macau.

It is different from the world before Du Fei traveled through time.

Before Du Fei traveled through time, due to some objective reasons, he did not directly take back Macau, but now the economic and political environment is very good, of course there is no reason to reject his children.

After more than half a year of handover, Macau has now regained its sovereignty.

However, its local lifestyle has not changed much, and it is called a "special autonomous city".

With this precedent, the neighboring Hong Kong has been shocked.

Some people in Hong Kong have always been resistant and have a fear of taking it for granted.

Coupled with the deliberate vilification propaganda of the Yingguo people, this fear has been further strengthened.

Until this time, seeing the situation in Macau, many people's worries were dispelled at once.

If it can follow the example and become a special autonomous city, it seems to be very good.

At least he doesn't have to be a second-class person.

Du Fei went there this time because he was ordered to see the real situation in Hong Kong and find out what people in the business community really think.

No one else can do this, only Du Fei can do it.

However, the first person Du Fei met when he came to Hong Kong was not someone from the big families in Hong Kong, but another old friend.

It was still the same tea restaurant.

Time seemed to have left no mark here. After two or three years, it was still the same.

Zhou Peng had changed, his hair was obviously thinner. When he saw Du Fei, he laughed and came up to give him another bear hug: "Brother, I miss you so much!"

Du Fei also smiled and patted his back.

After the hug, the two sat down. Zhou Peng looked at Du Fei: "You are still the same, you haven't changed~ I can't do that, my hair is falling out in clumps."

Du Fei said: "Don't stay up too hard at night, otherwise you won't be able to lose it in two years."

Zhou Peng didn't care. The two chatted with each other while eating and reminiscing about the past.

But at this time, another person came up from downstairs.

Zhou Peng was sharp-eyed and immediately waved: "Old Zheng, here~"

Du Fei also found this person, it was Zheng Maoqing!

Since he got in touch with Zheng Maoqing through the "Thousand Gold Secret Essence Pill", Du Fei has not met him many times, and mainly contacted him through Zhou Peng.

Zheng Maoqing smiled, and a flash of surprise flashed across his face when he saw Du Fei.

He didn't know Du Fei would come in advance, but he came anyway.

What's more, the place was arranged by Zhou Peng, so there must be no problem with safety.

But he had a hunch that Du Fei personally looking for him this time must be something bad.
