Chapter 1444 Go to Sulian

After meeting Wu Ting, Du Fei stayed in Zhenla for more than half a month.

During this period, the battlefield in Zhenla has stabilized again.

With Wu Ting's letter, and the general situation was over, the besieged Vietnamese army did not resist and surrendered in an organized manner.

For these people, Lin Tiansheng originally planned to build a centralized resettlement point in the rear, but Du Fei asked for it.

After surrendering their weapons, these more than 50,000 people still waited for the next resettlement in the original encirclement.

At this time, in a small village outside, Du Fei met Ruan Dajiang mentioned in Wu Ting's letter.

Compared to this magnificent name, Ruan Dajiang is short, only about 1.5 meters, with a bandage on his shoulder, probably because he was injured in the previous battle.

Du Fei looked at the man in front of him, but he didn't judge him by his appearance. He said calmly: "Comrade Ruan Dajiang, if I ask you to reorganize these prisoners, can you do it?"

Ruan Dajiang was stunned and frowned: "You~ want to recruit us?"

He didn't dare to think about it before. After all, there are tens of thousands of people. If he really wants to recruit them, aren't you afraid that they will turn against us at a critical moment?

Du Fei didn't answer, but just asked him if he could do it.

Ruan Dajiang thought for a while and said: "I can do it, but..."

Du Fei understood what he meant. Since he wanted to use them, he must not use them in vain. Since ancient times, emperors have never lacked hungry soldiers.

It's a pity that he didn't understand what Du Fei meant.

Du Fei wanted to use these people not on the battlefield of Zhenla.

At present, the coalition forces have the upper hand, and there is no gap in manpower. Even if the real manpower is not there, Du Fei can't set his sights on these prisoners.

Du Fei's real purpose is to transport all these prisoners to Papua.

Du Fei didn't want to invest too much manpower and energy there, so he just took these people over and let them fight from west to east.

As for how to fight, there was no need to worry about it at all, Du Fei only wanted the result.

All they needed to pay was a small amount of guns and ammunition and logistical supplies, and they had to find a way to solve most of the rest of the food.

At present, Papua Island is divided into two parts on the map, the west is Papua belonging to India, and the east is New Guinea.

Previously, New Guinea in the east was handed over to Austria for trusteeship by Yingguo, but now it is independent in name only.

The valuable minerals on the island are controlled by foreign companies.

Du Fei took these Vietnamese people over, which was also a temporary idea.

Because of Austria's intervention, Du Fei's plan to nibble away at Sulawesi Island and Malu Islands in the east was disrupted.

He had to quickly take over these two islands and set up a base in Papua to confront Austria.

However, due to the war in Zhenla, it was impossible to invest too much energy in the east line, and finally he could only set up two bases in the west of Papua and spread more than 2,000 people.

If they can get these Vietnamese over this time, with their combat experience and numbers, they can definitely sweep across Papua New Guinea.

As for the loss of control of these people afterwards, Du Fei is not worried.

As long as the equipment and supplies are held, there is no need to worry about these people making waves.

Besides, Du Fei did not expect to control these people. He released them just to clean up the Papua area in advance. If they can fight with Austria, it will undoubtedly be better.

However, this is not something that can be accomplished overnight, after all, there are tens of thousands of people~

Ruan Dajiang frowned, and hesitant after listening to Du Fei.

He did not consider whether to agree or not, because he had no choice at all.

Even if he did not agree, there were many people among the captives who were willing to obey and cooperate.

The reason why Du Fei looked for him was because of Wu Ting's letter.

What Ruan Dajiang really considered was what conditions to put forward so that he could get the most benefits.

...

After dealing with these things, the battle was declared over.

It can be said that it was a great victory. Although the actual fighting time was only a few days, the results were amazing.

A total of 93,000 enemies were killed, including 62,000 prisoners, 796 cannons, 143,000 guns, and more than 300 vehicles... After the final inventory of the seized goods, various materials piled up like mountains.

In comparison, the losses of the Nanyang Intimidation Force were insignificant.

The main reason was that the heavy artillery firepower and bombing were too fierce, which stunned the Vietnamese army on the front line. The subsequent interspersed troops were too strong, and the Vietnamese army quickly collapsed, only forming support points in a few areas to hold on.

When encountering such places, the interspersed troops did not attack hard, but left troops to contain them, and the main force went around directly.

In the end, the casualties on the coalition side of this battle totaled only more than 17,000 people, of which only 4,700 were killed.

After the battle, the two sides formed a new dividing line, and the Nanyang Weihe troops advanced more than 120 kilometers, and the two sides restored the state of half of Zhenla's territory.

The coastline, including nearby islands, is in the hands of the coalition.

As the original capital, the current side is still in the hands of Wu Ting.

Du Fei and Lin Tiansheng had no special obsession with this city, and even deliberately avoided unnecessary political risks.

Until now, Du Fei has not yet decided on his attitude towards the local forces in Zhenla.

Because the struggle between the East and the West has almost squeezed out the living space of the local forces.

After dealing with things here, Du Fei returned to the capital again in May.

The news broadcast that day said that a strong earthquake occurred in the border area between Italy and the Southern Union.

This made Du Fei's heart tremble, and he couldn't help but think of Tangshi.

What happened in Liao Province last year was that due to advance prediction, the losses were minimized.

However, this year, if there was no intervention, Du Fei did not dare to think about the consequences.

From Du Fei's point of view, he couldn't just sit back and watch.

In fact, since last year, he has privately sent people to contact the scientists who successfully made predictions at that time.

Because of a successful experience and some important tips given by Du Fei, it was like doing the questions based on the answers.

By early July, various signs indicated that the Pacific Rim crustal movement zone was extremely active.

By mid-July, the situation became more serious.

With lessons learned from the past, no one dares to ignore this situation.

Preventive measures have been implemented in surrounding areas, including the city.

Until the end of July, various signs appeared more and more frequently, which further confirmed the previous judgment.

The final target is locked in the city...

That night, Du Fei was lying on the bed with his eyes open. At about three o'clock in the middle of the night, there was a sudden sway, and the electric lamp hanging on the roof began to sway.

Du Fei was shocked and realized that there was an earthquake.

He didn't panic, knowing that the center of the earthquake was not here.

On the contrary, Zhu Ting sat up suddenly and shouted "Earthquake"!

There has been a lot of publicity recently to let people have an idea in their minds so that they will not be like headless chickens when encountering this kind of situation.

Then Du Fei and Zhu Ting hurried to Zhu's mother's house.

Zhu's mother is older and is a light sleeper. She wakes up when she notices shaking.

The two children slept like little dead pigs, one snoring and the other snoring.

Dad Zhu didn't come back from work too late today, so there's definitely nothing to worry about on his side.

Du Fei and Zhu Ting each held a child and took Zhu's mother downstairs and outside.

The shaking continued at this time, but the intensity was very slight and had almost no impact on the house.

After a minute, the shaking stopped completely.

Many people who had reacted quickly before took a deep breath and said it was a false alarm.

Only Du Fei knew that at this time, more than a hundred kilometers to the east, it was probably in ruins.

I just don't know how effective Du Fei's efforts will be.

Thinking of the world before time travel, Du Fei couldn't help but sigh in his heart and looked to the east through the dark night sky.

In fact, he had sent a team of crows in advance. As long as he thought about it, his vision would be opened, but he didn't want to see it.

Up to this point, he had done everything he could.

Starting from the day before yesterday, a five-day contingency exercise was launched.

According to the requirements of the exercise, all units entered a state of first-level combat readiness to respond to possible disasters.

Du Fei returned to the house, called to confirm Zhu's father's safety, took a deep breath, and prayed silently in his heart.

A few minutes later, the news spread through various channels, and all the duty phones in various departments rang.

In an instant, the relevant staff returned to their posts immediately.

Including Du Fei, who also urgently returned to the fire equipment company for duty.

He started making targeted preparations a few months ago.

Various factories affiliated to the fire-fighting equipment company freed up part of their production capacity and produced a large number of machinery and equipment.

Large ones include excavators and bulldozers, and small ones include hydraulic tongs, hydraulic shears, jacks...

Just for this day.

After a week of intense rescue, Du Fei breathed a sigh of relief at the preliminary feedback results.

According to statistics, the data currently available are more optimistic than Du Fei expected.

…

In the blink of an eye, several months passed, and the year was 1977.

Du Fei was sitting in the office of the fire equipment company, looking at the falling snow outside the window, holding a cup of hot tea in his hand, admiring the New Year's snow.

Since the earthquake in Tang City, Du Fei breathed a sigh of relief.

Without the sad news that more than 200,000 people died, it seems that some things have changed slightly.

At this time, a figure came over from the window, stamped his feet at the door, opened the door curtain and came in.

"Sister Jianing~" Du Fei put down his tea cup with a smile, stood up and went over to greet her.

Shen Jianing took off his military coat and held his cold and red hands.

The capital has been extremely cold these days, with temperatures seven or eight degrees lower than in previous years.

Du Fei poured a cup of hot water and handed it over: "Sister, keep it warm."

Shen Jianing was not polite, took it and took a sip: "It's been too cold these days!"

Du Fei said: "You know it's cold but you still run outside."

Shen Jianing said: "Help my godmother get some changes of clothes. She has been taking care of her there recently and has no time to go back..."

Du Fei didn't answer.

In the world before he traveled, an era had ended.

Although my health is not very good now, I can still manage to survive.

Last year's economy, although affected by two disasters, generally developed quite well throughout the year.

The industrial added value reached 15%, and when calculated as gross domestic product, the annual growth rate was 9%. Adding the exchange rate and other factors, it converted into American dollars, reaching 350 billion U.S. dollars.

It is only 20 billion US dollars away from Faguo, which ranks fifth.

Yingguo, ranked seventh, has only US$280 billion, which is far behind.

According to this situation, next year it will surpass Faguo and become the fifth in the world.

But comparatively speaking, it is still far away from the fourth-ranked Dokoku and the third-ranked Dongyang. Their GDP is more than 500 billion US dollars. If they want to catch up, they will have to develop steadily for six or seven years.

In addition to economic achievements, Huaguo also achieved breakthroughs in its military development.

The Dongfeng-5 project launched in 1965 conducted its first full-range test and achieved complete success.

Due to the good economic situation in recent years, the project has sufficient funds. Last year, through negotiations, large computers were imported from America, which made the project progress four years ahead of schedule.

The success of Dongfeng-5 marks the first time that Huaguo has an ultra-long-range intercontinental missile that directly threatens Wanshengtun and Moscow.

This is a landmark achievement.

With intercontinental missiles, mushrooms and super mushrooms have strategic deterrence.

Before, although Huaguo had mushrooms, neither Wanshengtun nor Moscow thought it was a threat.

What's the use of having bullets but no guns.

Once you have an intercontinental missile like Dongfeng-5 with a range of more than 50,000 kilometers, everything will change.

Even after the successful missile test, some people suggested that conventional forces could be appropriately reduced to free up more resources to accelerate economic development.

Before that, you should be extremely cautious when saying such things.

Without a trump card in hand, actively weakening the armed forces is purely seeking death.

Only when you hold the trump card and ensure that you give the enemy, or potential enemy, a strong enough deterrent, you are qualified to ask this question.

In addition, with Danbei controlled by Li Yuanchao and Nanyang controlled by Du Fei and Lin Tiansheng, two external vassals were formed to completely solve the threats from the south and southwest, so that the country could look at security issues more pragmatically.

In fact, this work had already started last year, that is, in 1975.

Due to some reasons, the total number of troops in the country reached 6.3 million at that time. With the disappearance of the threats from the southwest and the south, it was urgent to reduce redundancy.

The first step is to reduce 20% of the troops and control the total number of troops to about 5 million.

And while reducing the number of people, increase the technical level of weapons and strengthen the firepower density of the unit.

Because the economic situation is optimistic, this time the reduction of troops did not encounter resistance. More than one million people from the army were quickly digested by factories in various places.

In this era, the troops are all hot cakes. They are not only disciplined, ideologically conscious, and have strong learning ability, but also often have a skill.

It was originally planned that after this time, the number of troops would remain at the level of 5 million for a period of time.

Unexpectedly, the plan did not change quickly. With the successful test launch of Dongfeng-5, the reduction of troops was once again proposed.

However, unlike before, the differences this time are bigger.

After all, 1.3 million people have just been cut, and further cuts are necessary? Will it affect the combat effectiveness of the troops?

Another important factor is the attitude of the Sulian people.

In this case, Du Fei boarded a plane to Sulian in mid-April to participate in the commemoration of the 107th anniversary of Comrade Ulyanov's birth as a special representative.

……………………

It's the New Year, I wish you all a happy and vigorous year of the dragon.

I will take a day off tomorrow, and update normally on the first day of the new year.
