Chapter 1430 Do Your Own Thing

In fact, when Huang Delu came before, Du Fei weighed the conditions and proposed several conditions, among which there was a hidden intention to give Subian a chance.

With the intervention of Austria, the situation in the South Seas has completely changed.

Originally, Du Fei could suppress all local parties directly with strength without considering too much.

But with Austria joining the chess game, Du Fei no longer has absolute strength.

In this case, the original strategy must be adjusted. Previously, Du Fei let the navy seize the Malu Islands and occupy the western part of Papua, which was only one of the reasons.

This time, letting it go, or even supporting Subian to take Sumatra, is the second reason.

Now, Subian has not posed any threat to Du Fei. Without basic industry and manufacturing capabilities, even if he gets support from America or Speed ​​Union, the upper limit of Subian's strength is very limited.

Du Fei is not afraid of him turning against him, but instead lets him take Sumatra and strangle the southern bank of the Strait of Malacca to increase strategic attributes.

Malacca is a key link in the maritime power of Britain and the United States. They attach great importance to it and regard it as a forbidden fruit.

In order to join the Straits Conservancy Committee, Du Fei had already taken over the Guixu Islands, which was already the limit. However, it was only an outer island. If he stretched his hand further, there would definitely be sequelae.

America would not allow other forces to get involved in Malacca.

But don't forget that in the Indu Ocean, unlike before Du Fei crossed over, Su Lian had leased the Andaman Islands from Indu in advance.

As the fulcrum of Su Lian's Indu Ocean fleet, the Andaman Islands strangled the exit of the Strait of Malacca and connected with Sumatra.

America has already controlled Lijiapo, and Su Lian is a latecomer. In addition, due to the terrain, it must start from Sumatra.

It can be imagined that according to the current situation, Sumatra will become an important battlefield for the wrestling between America and Su Lian for a long time in the future.

Therefore, Du Fei did not intend to get involved here from the beginning. As for Subian, it is a buffer zone to avoid accidentally hurting himself when America and Su Lian are arm wrestling.

Subian didn't know Du Fei's thoughts. What he feared most now was that Du Fei would take him and Sumatra.

That's why he chose to take action against Sumatra at this time.

But the situation was not as expected.

Subian was very determined and had a good chance, but it was too difficult for him to take Sumatra in one go.

After he took Palembang, Subian's army showed signs of fatigue. He continued to move north without making further progress. Instead, he was in a stalemate with the local faction of Sumatra in the north of Zhanbei Province.

So far, after nearly two months of fighting, Subian had taken about 40% of the southern part of Sumatra, and the remaining territory was still controlled by the local faction.

Both sides were exhausted and it was difficult to make further progress.

At this time, it was the end of 1975.

It had been a week since Du Fei returned to Beijing from Nanyang.

In more than a month, it would be 1976, which made Du Fei feel complicated.

What will happen next year?

Because of his appearance, many things have changed, whether it is the domestic economy or the external environment, they are greatly different from the world before he crossed over.

Du Fei is not even sure whether Speed ​​Link will be the same in a dozen years.

But at least for now, because of his efforts, Huaguo is much more comfortable than the world before he crossed over.

But this change is still a little uncertain in Du Fei's heart. Is it right or wrong to extend the timeline for thirty or fifty years?

As time goes by, the more he does, the more variables he will produce, making the clear future in his eyes become confusing.

Du Fei sits in the office of the fire equipment company, holding a cup of hot tea in his hand, his mind in a mess.

There is a newspaper in front of him.

In recent days, he has keenly noticed that there are many unusual voices in the newspaper.

At first, it was just some "tofu block" articles that appeared on unimportant pages.

It should be a "firepower" reconnaissance, discussing the relationship between "capital" and "society".

In recent days, this kind of discussion has begun to intensify and appear on larger pages.

Du Fei keenly noticed the unusualness.

At this point in time, all parties are very nervous, and it is not surprising to use some means to test the reactions of all parties.

Du Fei also mentioned it to Zhu's father.

Zhu's father's attitude is that it is better to be quiet than to move.

With Zhu's father's current position, his mentality is still quite good.

Zhu's father does not have too much ambition, or his qualifications and the current situation determine that Zhu's father cannot have greater ambitions.

In Zhu's father's own words, the burden is too heavy and he can't bear it.

Instead of thinking about it, it is better to do what you should do.

At this time, there were footsteps outside, and Shen Jianing walked in with the door curtain lifted.

Smiled and said: "Reading a newspaper~"

Du Fei raised his head: "Sister Jianing, just came back from outside?"

Shen Jianing was wearing a coat, her face and nose were red from the cold, and she didn't come from the office at a glance.

Shen Jianing said "um": "Just came back from my sister. By the way, Sister Li and Yuqing want to go to the new campus to have a look, and asked you to go with them."

Shen Jianing has always been in charge of the Fire Technology University, and Du Fei is completely a hands-off boss.

After a year of intense construction, the main works have been completed. The next step is decoration and planting.

If nothing goes wrong, it will be put into use when school starts in September next year.

Du Fei was stunned, his mind racing.

These two people specifically asked him to join them, and they might have other intentions, but he couldn't avoid it.

He nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll pack up first, you wait for me."

Shen Jianing responded, and heard what Du Fei meant. Instead of waiting in the room, he got up and went out.

Du Fei grabbed the phone on the table and called Zhu's father.

At this time, you must be cautious and cautious. No matter what it is, it's right to report first.

The call was connected soon, and Du Fei spoke briefly.

On the other end of the phone, Zhu's father pondered for a while and said, "I know, the basic position must be firm, and the rest...you can decide for yourself."

"Yes!" Du Fei responded, hung up the phone, took a breath, put on his coat and walked out.

"Sister Jianing~" He called in the yard, and Shen Jianing came out immediately.

Du Fei asked where to pick up the people.

Shen Jianing said, "No, they go by themselves and meet at the school gate."

Du Fei nodded, called a car, left the fire equipment company and headed north.

The two of them tacitly did not call for a driver. Du Fei drove the car himself, and Shen Jianing sat in the passenger seat.

At first, they did not speak until they left the old city.

As the car drove along the road, Shen Jianing suddenly said, "Be careful when you speak later."

Du Fei tightened his hands on the steering wheel, but did not make a fuss. This time was unusual. Otherwise, it would be enough to have Shen Jianing accompany him to visit the new campus. Why did he have to call him?

As for more, Shen Jianing did not say, and Du Fei did not ask more.

They arrived at the new campus soon.

In a few days, the temperature will be below zero, and there will be few workers working on the construction site of the new campus.

The gate was designed by Du Fei himself, and it looks quite impressive.

The words on the top of the gate were written by Zhu's father.

Going in through the gate, there is a large parking lot next to it.

Now Huaguo's buildings hardly consider parking issues. Not to mention ordinary people, even various government agencies have only a few cars, and they can park anywhere.

Many people don't understand why such a large parking lot is built, and who is it for.

Du Fei was too lazy to explain. In thirty years, this parking lot might not be enough.

Because it was not yet completed, there were no other vehicles in the parking lot. In addition to Du Fei and Shen Jianing's car, there was only a military green jeep.

It was not the common 212, but a model similar to an SUV that Du Fei asked Xingtai Automobile Factory to redesign on the site of the Red Flag sedan.

Because of the large interior space and the comfort of the sedan, the response after production was quite good.

Seeing Du Fei and his friends arrive, three people got out of the car.

Two were acquaintances, and the other was a strange man, about thirty-five or thirty-six years old.

Du Fei parked the car next to them and greeted them with a smile: "Sister Li, Sister Lin, I've kept you waiting for a long time."

Lin Yuqing smiled and said nothing quietly.

Sister Li said: "We just arrived too. We came to see your university today." Then she looked at the man who was traveling with her and introduced: "This is Comrade Li Chunpeng..."

Du Fei was startled. These three people actually got together.

After the greetings, Sister Li looked towards the school: "It's really impressive! It's not worse than Yanda and Shuimu!"

Du Fei said, "Don't say that. I was impulsive at the time. It's not that easy to build a university. Students, teachers, and all aspects are involved. It's not just a university to build a few buildings."

Sister Li withdrew her gaze without comment, her expression somewhat meaningful.

The five people walked into the school along the paved cement road. After entering the gate, there was a straight and wide cement road. According to the standard group, six lanes can be drawn, which makes the school look more spacious and grand.

At the end of the road is a twelve-story main building, facing this road that is more than one kilometer long. The design style imitates the Great Hall. The steps in front of the door and the huge columns support the main hall of the main building. At a glance, it is extremely magnificent...

Sister Li, Lin Yuqing, and Li Chunpeng are all here for the first time. Although they often heard about this place before, some of the rumors said that Du Fei overestimated his own abilities, and some said that the scale here is unprecedented and the construction is so good, but they are not as good as seeing it with their own eyes now.

Several people came to the steps of the main teaching building and looked up. They immediately felt that the huge column of nearly 20 meters high seemed to fall down. When people stand in front of any huge building, they will unconsciously feel their own insignificance.

Sister Li looked at Du Fei: "Xiao Du, you are really rich!"

Du Fei said: "No matter how poor you are, you can't be poor in education! And I am a person who either doesn't do it or I will go all out if I do it."

Sister Li did not comment. She did not doubt Du Fei's determination and ability. Seeing this university campus built from scratch with her own eyes made her admire it very much.

You know, except for the allocation of land, no money was asked from the Guo family.

However, today they called Du Fei together, not really to see the school.

The four of them walked around the campus and finally came to a pavilion.

The terrain here was originally high, and there was a lot of construction waste piled up. It was time-consuming and laborious to remove it, so they simply padded some soil to form a small hill.

The pavilion is at the top of the mountain, and you can overlook Yanda and Shuimu next to it.

Although it was a bit cold today, there was no wind. The pavilion was made of wood and had not been painted yet. It was the original color and it was not cold to sit in.

Du Fei knew that he had something to say today. The surroundings were open and the view was unobstructed. It was a good place to talk.

Du Fei listened at ease.

Shen Jianing was silent beside him, and Lin and Li only came with their ears the whole time.

Sister Li asked: "Xiao Du, you have read all the recent newspapers."

Du Fei nodded and immediately understood what she was referring to.

Sister Li said: "What do you think about this issue?"

Du Fei pursed his lips. Although he had expected that today's trip would be unusual, he did not expect that it would be such a sensitive issue.

His brain was spinning rapidly, thinking about organizational language, and after a moment he said: "My personal position is very clear. Productivity determines production relations. Social ideas must be the most advanced system, but based on the principle of seeking truth from facts, our situation is indeed quite special..."

Du Fei's point of view, the most fundamental one is 'seeking truth from facts'.

Then he said: "The debate on this issue is fundamentally due to the insufficient development of our productive forces and the self-correction and adjustment of society. We should recognize this objective reality."

Sister Li frowned slightly, her attitude obscure.

Du Fei changed the topic: "However, no matter when, we must be wary of the expansion of capital. Capital is like a tumor, with strong vitality. Once it encounters suitable soil for growth, it will grow wildly. We must ensure that the means of production are in control. In the hands of the majority of the people, we must prevent the people from suffering and suffering a second time..."

After hearing this, Sister Li did not express her position, but took a deep look at Du Fei.

Du Fei's words were a bit tricky, but his attitude was also very clear.

The five then left and returned to the parking lot.

Shen Jianing proposed to go with Sister Li, while Du Fei sent Lin and Li off.

Send Li Chunpeng to the car first, leaving only Du Fei and Lin Yuqing in the car.

Neither of them spoke.

After a while, Lin Yuqing suddenly said: "Thank you~"

Du Fei was surprised: "Thank you for what?"

Lin Yuqing said: "It's nothing, anyway... thank you."

After saying that, he looked out the car window...

On the other side, Sister Li and Shen Jianing went straight to see Director Jiang and repeated Du Fei's answer.

Shen Jianing listened carefully, fearing that there might be some misinterpretation, which was why she insisted on following him back.

Director Jiang leaned back on the chair and pushed up his glasses with his hand, feeling a little complicated.

After listening, he sighed and seemed to say something but swallowed it back.

Sister Li waited for a moment, and after confirming that Director Jiang had nothing more to say, she asked, "What about these words..."

Director Jiang waved his hand and said, "Just tell the truth." Then he looked out the window and murmured the name "Zhu Jietai".

…

After Du Fei saw off the people, he didn't dare to neglect and immediately ran to report to Dad Zhu.

After hearing what he said, Dad Zhu leaned back and closed his eyes.

Du Fei asked in a low voice: "Dad, is there nothing wrong?"

Dad Zhu said: "It's okay, just do your own thing, nothing else...don't worry."
