Chapter 1432 The Old and the Young

Du Fei understood what he meant and the purpose of his secret visit.

Logically, with Wu Ting's status, it would not be Du Fei's turn to receive him, but this time the superiors were quite cold to Wu Ting.

Although he met the person he was supposed to meet, he did not make any meaningful progress.

Finding Du Fei today was also a last resort.

Wu Ting was very troubled. He knew that Huaguo was in a very delicate period and everyone was cautious.

But he had a reason to come.

Du Fei just shook his head and said to Wu Ting's sigh of "it shouldn't be like this": "In my opinion, this result has long been inevitable. Perhaps if Comrade Ruan Aiguo were still here, the situation would be better than it is now, but even he can't stop you from becoming Moscow's pawns to clamp us. This is the fate of a small country."

Wu Ting sighed again: "Yes~ The game between big countries uses the world as a chessboard and the Guo family as chess pieces." He looked at Du Fei meaningfully: "Aren't you the same?"

Du Fei smiled: "Of course, it's just that we still have hope and try to jump out of the chess game, but you... have no hope."

Wu Ting choked. He didn't expect Du Fei to be so blunt, but thinking about the last time they met, he was relieved.

More importantly, Du Fei was right. With the position and size of Yueguo, coupled with the current international situation, they have long lost the possibility of developing into a big country.

Wu Ting shook his head secretly. In his heart, he had imagined more than once that if it were still the Republic of China, perhaps they would really have hope.

Unfortunately, there is no if at all.

After a slight shake, a cold wind blew and sobered him up. He calmed down and said the real purpose of this visit.

"Comrade Du Fei, if we are willing to withdraw from Zhenla..." Wu Ting said the conditions they offered.

Withdraw from Zhenla and stop this war with no victory in sight.

As the assistance from the Speed ​​Union decreased, the pressure they were under increased, and the casualties on the front line exceeded expectations, which also caused a backlash within them.

Even Li Zhu's prestige had to be carefully considered.

Du Fei had a blank expression on his face. He did not look at Wu Ting who was looking at him, but continued to look northwest against the wind, pursed his lips and said: "No~"

Wu Ting frowned and said in a deep voice: "This is our bottom line."

Du Fei understood that he was referring to Lao Guo, that is, he could abandon Zhenla, but he could not spit out Lao Guo who had been eaten.

Du Fei said bluntly: "Impossible~"

Wu Ting pursed his lips: "War is the continuation of politics. Since it is politics, nothing is impossible."

Du Fei smiled: "Indeed, war is the continuation of politics, but once the war starts, it is no longer a political issue. War has its own rules. Shots are fired, people die, there is no result, and it cannot be stopped just because someone wants to."

Wu Ting's face became even gloomier.

Du Fei continued: "Besides, why should we stop? I think it's good now. You can get assistance from Moscow, and I can get support from America. I thought this was our tacit understanding~"

Wu Ting was speechless. Both sides did understand each other before, but now the situation has changed.

Frowning, he said, "Really, there is nothing to talk about? At this point, this war is meaningless. Are we just going to watch those children on the front line die in vain?"

Du Fei raised his eyebrows, "Don't forget, you started this meaningless war. You can decide when the war starts, but... when it ends, I have the final say now."

At this point, Du Fei's eyes became deeper, and Wu Ting's eyes were filled with deep malice.

"You..." Wu Ting's eyes sank, like a sick tiger.

Du Fei looked at him calmly and continued, "Although Huaguo has temporarily fallen behind in the past hundred years, these hundred years are just a fleeting moment in the long river of history, and everything will eventually return to its original position!"

Wuting is an old and experienced man, and of course he understands what Du Fei is implying about them. Don't think that just clinging to Mosko's thighs will be enough.

But in the end, Wu Ting still achieved some results this time.

No matter what Du Fei said, for him, the meaning of this war is not on the battlefield either, which is an indisputable fact.

What Du Fei wants is not to win or lose with Yueguo, but to maintain this state of war with a certain intensity for a long time.

Only in this way can we continue to obtain funding from America and turn the benefits on paper into reality.

For example, the F-1 fighter, such as the promised industrial transfer and investment, all of these take time.

Therefore, Du Fei will never allow Yueguo to give in, they must hold on.

As for the other party's desperate attempt to provoke the north like the world before Du Fei crossed over, there is no need to worry at all.

Unlike the world before Du Fei crossed over, Huaguo was unable to take care of itself due to some changes.

Now in the south, they can't even suppress Lin Tiansheng, let alone challenge a higher-level copy.

On January 2, 1976, Wu Ting left Beijing with disappointment.

Unlike taking the train when he came, he chose to fly when he left.

His efforts to adjust were ultimately unsuccessful, but his trip to Beijing and Chengcheng this time was not a complete failure, at least he reached some verbal agreements with Du Fei.

The two sides will set up a "coordination committee" in Zhenla.

Through this committee, the scale and intensity of the subsequent war will be controlled.

It is difficult for the Vietnamese army to win on the battlefield, and the coalition forces commanded by Lin Tiansheng do not have a strong desire to attack. In this case, it is better to reduce the intensity and avoid unnecessary casualties.

But the intensity of the battlefield must be maintained, and the exchange of firepower cannot be reduced, otherwise it will not be explained to America and the Speed ​​Alliance.

This requires the role of the coordination committee.

…

After Wu Ting left, Du Fei was a little uneasy.

He knew that a series of events with great impact would happen in 1976.

Watching Wu Ting take off on the K-8 passenger plane at the airport, Du Fei turned around and went to Zhu's father's office to report the situation.

He was already familiar with this place. As soon as he arrived at the gate, he saw Zhu's father's secretary standing at the door smoking.

Zhu's father has a total of eight secretaries. Secretary Wang was transferred from another province the year before last. He has strong personal abilities and is very useful this year.

"Brother Wang~" Du Fei greeted: "Is there a guest inside?"

Generally, Secretary Wang will only stand here when he meets an important guest, and stop him if he has something to do.

Secretary Wang saw that it was Du Fei, and immediately rushed down a few steps from the stairs and greeted him with a smile.

A familiar voice lowered its voice and said, "It's Comrade Li Chunpeng..."

Du Fei's heart trembled. He didn't expect to meet again so soon after seeing him in the pavilion last time. He whispered, "What's going on?"

In fact, Du Fei could probably guess why Li Chunpeng appeared in Li, and it was about time.

But some things must be pretended to be confused.

Secretary Wang pursed his lips, hesitated for a moment, and then whispered, "In the West Flower Hall, I'm afraid..."

Du Fei pretended to be surprised, but didn't ask any more questions.

Secretary Wang also shut up.

Du Fei recalled the last conversation in the pavilion, Sister Li, Lin Yuqing, and Li Chunpeng, and couldn't help but shook his head secretly.

The three of them appearing together already explained a lot of problems.

After a while, Li Chunpeng came out with a sad face, and saw Du Fei nodded, but didn't say anything.

Du Fei also nodded, and then went inside.

"Dad~" He called into the room.

Dad Zhu leaned back in his chair with his eyes closed. He perked up when he heard Du Fei's voice and put on his glasses: "Xiao Fei~"

Du Fei asked with concern: "Dad, are you okay? Take a rest first~"

Dad Zhu waved his hand: "It's okay~" and asked immediately: "Is Wu Ting gone?"

Du Fei replied: "He's gone. His coming this time means that the situation over there is not very good..."

Dad Zhu listened to Du Fei's babble report on the situation, and finally sighed with a "hmm", "It's a troubled time!"

Du Fei remained silent.

Then only a few days later, the bad news came...

Faced with this situation, Du Fei was still a little overwhelmed.

Although he had known it for a long time and had made sufficient psychological preparations, it was still very sad when some things really happened.

The various activities that were so vigorous gradually subsided after more than a month.

Compared with the world before Du Fei crossed over, the people's living standards have improved a lot because of the rapid economic development in recent years.

Especially last year, there was a bumper harvest of grain, and the meat supply on the market was sufficient, which made people very satisfied.

In addition, a large number of young people who had joined the team returned to the city to work in factories, so there was no accumulation of unstable factors and no unexpected situations.

Unexpectedly, when it rained, something happened in Dongyang at almost the same time!

According to the original plan, Huaguo and Dongyang would restore their relations and would send personnel to each other in the future.

This day was the day when the office in Daban was unveiled.

At around nine o'clock in the morning, a lot of people gathered in front of a building in the city center.

There were also reporters, various cameras, and long guns and short guns.

The sign on the gate was covered with ribbons.

The governor of Daban Prefecture and relevant personnel were in place and prepared for the unveiling ceremony.

But at this time, there was a sudden loud "boom".

Then a puff of black smoke came out from the building behind.

Then screams came from the crowd, and the scene suddenly became chaotic.

...

A few hours later, the news was transmitted back to China.

It immediately caused a shock.

When Du Fei learned about the situation, he was in a meeting at the fire equipment company.

The important leaders of each factory below were all there, reporting on the production situation of the entire year last year.

After a year of development, the scale of the fire equipment company has further expanded, and all work is progressing steadily and developing vigorously.

Du Fei was planning to take advantage of the New Year to increase one month's salary as a year-end bonus throughout the company.

But at this time, he suddenly heard about the situation in Dongyang, which made his heart tremble.

There was no such situation in the world before the crossing.

But it is also understandable that in the world before Du Fei crossed, Huaguo made great concessions in restoring relations with Dongyang.

This time the situation is different. Not only did they force them to bow their heads, but they also implemented the reparations for World War II and the garrison stationed in Dongyang.

Although it was only symbolic, with a total number of only one company, it touched the sensitive nerves of many Dongyang old and young people.

These people did not dare to tease America's father, but regarded this "supplementary agreement" with Huaguo as a great shame.

It happened that when signing this supplementary agreement, there was America's strong push, and they dared not speak out, and could only secretly express their dissatisfaction in other ways like rats in the sewer.

This time is undoubtedly a serious provocation, and it must be fought back.

After the meeting, Du Fei received a call from Zhu's father and drove over immediately.

Du Fei knocked on the door and went in when he arrived at Zhu's father's office.

Du Fei was not surprised that Zhu's father asked him to come.

With something like this happening in Dongyang, Zhu's father would definitely ask him to come for consultation.

In this matter, Du Fei has always shown extraordinary ability and vision.

Even if the higher-ups have other ideas, they will come to ask just to listen.

Du Fei entered the room and saw that Zhu's father was not in a good state, and his face was exhausted.

There was no way around it. As the most important deputy, Zhu's father's current burden was heavier.

If it were just that, it would not be a big deal. Zhu's father's previous work was not easy, and more importantly, the responsibility was greater.

No matter what happened, strictly speaking, Zhu's father was not the first person in charge.

Although he is not now, he must take charge of some things during this window period.

Du Fei saw it in his eyes, but did not say anything like paying attention to rest. There was no point in saying those empty words at this time.

It would be better to get to the point directly: "Dad, did you call me here for the Dongyang matter?"

Zhu's father hummed, stood up from the chair and stretched his waist.

Du Fei's ears were particularly sharp, and he could faintly hear the sound of joints moving. It was not difficult to imagine that Zhu's father must have sat there for a long time without moving.

Just taking advantage of his time to move around, pacing on the floor and saying, "What do you think?"

Du Fei was concise and sneered, "A bunch of old coffins, foolishly thinking that what they did will not be punished..."

Dad Zhu narrowed his eyes and pondered, "Is this why you insist on paying compensation and stationing troops?"

Du Fei said, "It is one of the reasons. If they don't treat Dongyang as thoroughly as Duguo, they will never know what they are."

Dad Zhu reached out and patted Du Fei on the shoulder.

As an insider, he knew better than the outside world how much effort Du Fei had made to promote the result of paying compensation and stationing troops.

But everything has two sides. While enjoying the benefits, you must bear the consequences.

Just like this time, the incident in Dongyang.

Dad Zhu said, "What else do you think?"

Du Fei had thought about it carefully before coming, and replied, "Dad, if you ask me, I have only one attitude, which is to deal with it toughly and not give them any hope."

Dad Zhu nodded, "This is the basic direction, what about the specifics?"

Du Fei said, "Specifically, first of all, we must get rid of the enemy, and we cannot directly target the Dongyang government. These bureaucrats kept by America can also be our friends. We have only one target, the old and young people from the Empire period who are still not clear-headed..."

Dad Zhu listened carefully.

Du Fei continued, "Besides, I think we don't need to rush to the front. We have no direct interests in Dongyang. To put it bluntly, those people who miss the Dongyang Empire, the real enemy is America, but America is too strong, they dare not move, so they target us..."

Dad Zhu snorted, "Take us as soft persimmons?"
