Chapter 1501 Third Brother
Chapter 1503 Third Brother
Speaking of the Chu family, Zhu Ting asked, "By the way, how is Aunt Wang's health recently?"
Director Wang has retired in the district. Du Fei smiled and said, "She is at home helping to take care of the children~ I heard from Chu Cheng that Zhou Xiaoli is pregnant again."
Zhu Ting was stunned: "She is pregnant again? This is the fourth one!"
Du Fei touched Zhu Ting with his shoulder slyly: "It's not the fourth one~ We are behind."
Zhu Ting rolled her eyes: "Don't come at me, I don't want to have a baby, it's too painful."
...
The two talked, but they didn't walk far. Zhu Ting was wearing high heels and wanted to walk just now, but after walking for a while, she felt tired.
Besides, it snowed two days ago. Although it was swept in time, it was not swept clean. A lot of snow froze into ice.
Du Fei was going to find a public phone on the side of the road to ask the driver to come back to pick him up.
But at this time, he saw a taxi coming from the opposite side of the road.
There are not many people who can take taxis these days, and locals certainly don't take them. The starting price is two yuan per trip, and taking one trip for two days is a waste.
The reason why taxis appear is that there are more and more foreigners in Beijing in recent years, and they mainly serve these people.
Taxi companies all buy BMWs from the fire equipment car factory, and the interior is quite clean.
It is rare to see them on the street, and people usually call to make an appointment.
Du Fei simply didn't call, and immediately raised his hand to call a taxi.
He took a taxi back home, and it was noisy as soon as he entered the door. Zhu Ting's three brothers came back with their sisters-in-law and children.
Du Fei and Zhu Wei are the most familiar here, and Zhu Zhen and Zhu Tian don't come back often.
The Zhu family is rarely so lively, with more than 20 people in the family, filling up the Zhu family's small building.
Du Fei and Zhu Ting came back and it was even more lively, but the atmosphere between Du Fei and his three uncles was a little subtle.
In recent years, although Du Fei and Zhu Li's affair has not been exposed, the three brothers of the Zhu family have also known about it one after another.
At that time, they were so angry that they wanted to beat Du Fei to the ground. Even if the three of them joined forces, they might not be able to beat Du Fei, but that was the mood.
But until today, Du Fei's achievements made them unable to get angry.
It's not that they are snobbish, it's just that Du Fei has given too much.
Not to mention that when the boss Zhu Wei got into trouble, Du Fei took the train overnight and finally saved Zhu Wei.
Just talking about this time, Zhu Wei's Jinzhou was able to get the quota in the north to build a computer base, which was due to Du Fei's great efforts.
Not only that, through Nanyang Bank, an additional investment of 500 million US dollars per year is a good thing that the Shanghai market dare not even think about.
With such a large investment, although nominally there are two centers in the north and the south, the north will definitely lead the south in industrial development and technological research.
At that time, Zhu Wei, as a local leader, will not be able to take away this positive achievement.
It is not an exaggeration to say that as long as Zhu Wei can stay in Jinzhou for the next few years, without major accidents, he will go further in the future and become a frontier official.
With such a big favor, as the direct beneficiary, and having been saved by Du Fei, Zhu Wei certainly couldn't give Du Fei a cold shoulder, and the remaining second and third sons naturally weakened their momentum.
"Oh, Xiaofei and Xiaoting are back!" Seeing that the two were the most enthusiastic, Zhu Wei's lover Wei Hong went over and held her sister-in-law's hand, exaggerating: "Xiaoting, what are you..." Then she turned back to look at Zhu Ma and the two sisters-in-law: "You don't look like a person in your thirties! I would believe you if you said you were a college student."
Although this was exaggerated, it was mostly true.
Wei Hong has been with Zhu Wei in Liaoning Province for the past few years, especially in the past three years since she last saw Zhu Ting.
She knew that Zhu Ting looked young and didn't look old in her thirties.
But women are women after all, how can they not age.
Especially now that Zhu Ting is not in her thirties, but will soon be forty.
As the saying goes, women in their forties are like tofu dregs.
At this age, even the most beautiful flowers in their youth should wither.
Who knew that when Zhu Ting came in, Wei Hong's eyes lit up. No matter Du Fei or Zhu Ting, they didn't look old at all!
On the contrary, Zhu Ting has developed a calm and wise temperament with her work over the years.
Wei Hong pulled Zhu Ting away, and the women went to discuss how to maintain beauty.
It was rare for Zhu's father and mother to bring a large group of grandchildren. Especially Zhu's father temporarily put down the pressure of work and was very happy.
Among these children, the eldest Zhu Wei's daughter Zhu Xiaoyun and Zhu Zhen's son Zhu Zhanyong have already gone to college.
On the other side, Du Fei and his three uncles got together.
The three brothers of the Zhu family, Zhu Wei left the army and went to the local area, while Zhu Zhen and Zhu Tian stayed in the army.
As the saying goes, there are gains and losses.
In Zhu's father's case, when Zhu Wei transferred to the local area, he started to cut off ties with the army.
This must be done. There is no perfect solution in the world.
Going up the horse to govern the army and going down the horse to govern the people, that was in ancient times, when information and transportation were not convenient.
In modern times, it is impossible to allow people who can do both things.
Zhu's father is very wise. He saw through it very early and was willing to let it go.
So in the past few years, Zhu Zhen and Zhu Tian have only been doing well in the army.
And with the mutual disarmament agreement with the Speed Union taking effect, there will inevitably be another large-scale reduction in troops.
In the end, the three armies will be controlled at a size of about three million.
At that time, whether Zhu Zhen and Zhu Tian will continue to stay in the army or transfer to the local area is still a question.
The four chatted for a while, and Zhu Zhen left first.
He was a straightforward person. Although he couldn't attack Du Fei, he felt that his sister was wronged and didn't show any good face.
Then Zhu Wei was called by Zhu's father.
Zhu's father had high hopes for this eldest son. He was also the eldest son in the family. The father and son must have a talk on the first day of his return.
In a blink of an eye, only Du Fei and Zhu Tian were left.
Watching the children playing noisily, Zhu Tian took out a cigarette from his pocket and shook it at Du Fei: "Go outside to smoke one?"
Du Fei responded. A dozen children gathered together. That scene... The two of them went outside the small building to hide for a while.
Standing by the door, Zhu Tian handed Du Fei a cigarette.
Du Fei rushed to light the cigarette with a lighter, and said with a smile: "Third brother, do you have anything to say?"
Zhu Tian took a puff and blew it out into the wind. The smoke was blown away in an instant. He said with a smile: "What is there to say? Xiao Ting is happy by herself. What else can I, as a brother, say?"
Ever since they knew about Du Fei and Zhu Li, Zhu Zhen and Zhu Tian were holding their breath.
Damn, this little calf Du Fei actually killed two girls of the Zhu family. This is intolerable!
Especially Zhu Tian, his personality is different from the bold and outgoing Zhu Zhen. Zhu Tian has been calm since he was a child. To put it nicely, he is calm and steady, and to put it bluntly, he is an old sly guy.
But Zhu Ting's appearance in recent years has made Zhu Tian difficult to get angry.
You can lie with your mouth, but you can't lie with your mental state.
In recent years, Zhu Ting has not only developed her career well, but her whole state is also radiant, and she is obviously not troubled.
This is also an important reason why the Zhu brothers can tolerate Du Fei.
If Zhu Ting sighed and looked haggard every day, even if Zhu Wei and Zhu Tian could tolerate it, Zhu Zhen would have turned over long ago with his personality.
Maybe it's good now.
So Zhu Tian didn't ask Du Fei out for this matter.
They both lit up and chatted about a random topic. Zhu Tian said halfway through the cigarette: "Xiao Fei, did you go to Moscow last year?"
Du Fei nodded: "Third brother, do you want to ask about disarmament?"
Zhu Tian nodded, his expression serious: "It has been determined, a total of 1.1 million people, to be disbanded in five years..."
Du Fei only knew the general idea of the mutual disarmament agreement and didn't care about the details.
After hearing Zhu Tian's detailed account, he understood what he meant and asked, "Don't you want to leave the army, brother?"
Zhu Tian pursed his lips and lit another cigarette: "I have been in the army for more than 20 years, so I must have feelings for them. In the past few years, I was full of passion and wanted to contact them quickly and fight them..."
This is not an empty statement. Ten years ago, when the island was really covered, except for Zhu Wei who was transferred back to the local area, Zhu Zhen and Zhu Tian brothers both went to the front line.
It can be said that if the fight really broke out, the two brothers would be in danger.
Du Fei said: "But from Dad's point of view, he doesn't want to stretch his hand too far."
Zhu Tian said: "But at least there must be someone, Uncle Xiao may retire next year..."
Du Fei's heart trembled, he really hadn't heard of this.
At the beginning, this small group included the Zhu family, the Xiao family, and the Chu family.
Now Zhu's father's side is a hot fire, but in comparison, the Xiao family and the Chu family are not so glorious.
Zhu Tian said: "After the incident of Xiao's elder brother, Xiao Weidong is now only a regiment commander..."
Du Fei heard Zhu Ting talk about the Xiao family. The elder brother of the Xiao family was originally cultivated by the family, but he died in an accident.
This caused a big problem for the second generation of the Xiao family.
There was no choice but to let the second brother Xiao Huifang take over. Xiao Weidong's ability and courage were not as good as his elder brother. In addition, he started late, and even with the help of his family, he did not have a particularly outstanding performance.
Zhu Tian mentioned this, not because he was worried about the Xiao family, but the subtext was that once the Xiao family was not doing well, their influence in the army would definitely be greatly reduced.
Du Fei frowned and said: "Dad didn't make any arrangements?"
Zhu Tian shook his head slowly.
Du Fei pondered and said: "Third brother, I think you should find a chance to talk to Dad carefully, and don't act rashly."
Zhu Tian was silent. He didn't expect Du Fei to remind him, but he was now in his forties and was no longer the boy he was back then.
If he was in his twenties or even early thirties, it would be fine to go home and ask his parents if he didn't understand something, but he is now in his forties. What would it be like if he still had every idea?
However, what Du Fei said was not unreasonable, and their family still had to make the final decision with the old man.
Then he asked, "Xiao Fei, you have been to Babylon. What do you think of their war?"
Zhu Tian knew Du Fei's situation. Although he was not from the army, he had to admit that he had practical experience and strategic vision.
Especially strategic vision.
Du Fei asked back, "Brother, do you think their war has any reference value?"
Zhu Tian was stunned: "Is it not?"
"No~" Du Fei shook his head and said with certainty: "Although Babylon and Persia have spent a lot of money to buy advanced weapons, it does not mean that they will use those weapons. They don't even understand the most basic infantry-tank coordination and infantry-artillery coordination. What is there to learn from?"
Zhu Tian frowned and said, "Is it really that bad?" This was somewhat different from the news he had heard before.
Although the domestic evaluation of the combat effectiveness of Babylon and Persia is generally low, it is not as low as Du Fei.
Du Fei said: "It is only worse than you think. If we put aside the weapons and equipment, the combat quality of their soldiers and commanders is not even as good as the warlords in the chaos at that time."
Zhu Tian has no first-hand information and cannot refute it.
"Third brother, are you asking this to write an article?" Du Fei guessed what Zhu Tian was thinking.
In the context of disarmament, if you want to stay in the army, you must have something to show for your development.
Either you can fight or you can write.
The so-called fighting ability is easy to understand, that is, strong ability to lead and command troops.
But in this era, relying on this to get ahead in the army is simply hellish.
Being able to write means solid military theory and forward-looking exploration of future war development and tactics.
Zhu Tian wants to take the second path.
At the beginning of the Barber War, he wrote several papers in a row, one of which was even published in the military newspaper.
Zhu Tian has some level in this regard.
But it is far from enough, he must come up with more heavyweight articles.
That's why he wanted to talk to Du Fei to see if he could get inspiration from it.
After being exposed by Du Fei, Zhu Tian didn't hide it and simply told it all.
At the end, he said: "From the perspective of personality, the most suitable one in our family to stay in the army should be the second brother, but now the background is different. In the next ten years, or even longer, it is difficult to have a big war..."
Du Fei nodded, Zhu Tian's judgment was very accurate.
Now that Yueguo has been messed up by him, a counterattack similar to the one before he traveled through time will never happen again.
In this situation, it is almost impossible to get ahead by being "good at fighting".
Du Fei still has a good impression of this third brother. Moreover, no matter how he feels, they are a community of interests, and they will prosper together and suffer together.
Du Fei said: "Third brother, if you want to start from this aspect, I suggest you keep a close eye on the development of computer technology. The application of computers in the future will bring subversive changes to the war mode."
Zhu Tian's expression became more serious and he listened carefully.
Du Fei continued: "To be more specific, computers plus missiles will expand the boundaries of the battlefield infinitely, and the range of missiles will soon increase from tens of kilometers to hundreds of kilometers...
Now, the development of the Huaguo Army has not been constrained by the economy, nor has it experienced more intense turmoil. Whether in terms of spirit or technology, it has maintained a fairly high level.
With money in the pocket, the vision is also different. The use of long-range missiles proposed by Du Fei is not a new theory.
Zhu Tian didn't rush to speak after hearing Du Fei mention it. With his understanding of Du Fei, he knew that he would have something to say.
Sure enough, Du Fei continued: "But this concept is too broad. When writing a paper, you can only talk about it broadly, and it is not easy to produce results. Third brother, if you want to make achievements in this area, you must refine the problem. I personally recommend that you start with electronic countermeasures. In the future high-tech war, electronic countermeasures must be the top priority. If you can be called an expert in this field, plus our family's background..."
