Chapter 257: Children of High-Ranking Officials

Hearing Du Fei's remarks, Shen Jingya, who was sitting beside him, was also surprised.

Although Shen Jingya is shrewd, she is a prostitute after all, and her vision is limited to her family and work. No matter how great she is, she can only understand the situation in the capital.

She neither cares about nor understands much about the Cold War, the struggle between the Soviet Union and the United States for hegemony, or international relations.

Anyway, every time Chen Zhongyuan talks to her about these things, all she needs to do is show her admiring eyes.

Chen Zhongyuan came to his senses and suppressed his drunkenness.

He could tell that Du Fei was not talking nonsense, but actually understood something.

At least at this time, the average person cannot name 156 industrial projects.

Chen Zhongyuan cheered up, subconsciously picked up the wine bottle and poured Du Fei a drink, and asked, "How do you say it?"

Du Fei said, "Third uncle, you are blinding yourself. In fact, to put it bluntly, the Soviets are afraid."

"Afraid? Us?" Chen Zhongyuan and Shen Jingya both showed incredulous expressions.

These days, even children know how powerful the Soviet Union is.

Just last year, the Soviet Union even beat the US emperor and completed the feat of astronauts leaving the warehouse for a space walk!

Faced with such a Soviet Union, Du Fei brazenly said that it was afraid!

Du Fei was very sure, "They were just scared! They regretted giving too much. More than 150 industrial projects, covering almost all industrial categories, turned us from an agricultural country to an industrial country at once."

Chen Zhongyuan nodded silently.

He was a witness to that vigorous construction.

Du Fei said, "It's a pity that Comrade Stalin died too early. Khrushchev did not have that kind of self-confidence and great revolutionary ideals. He saw the dangers in the future and was afraid that we would rise, be unable to check and balance, and suffer backlash."

"The Soviet Union is afraid of us? This..." Shen Jingya interrupted, shaking her head slightly.

Incredible.

Chen Zhongyuan also frowned.

Du Fei smiled and said, "When we only focus on the power of Big Brother, we always tend to ignore one issue, which is population!"

Chen Zhongyuan was suddenly stunned and vaguely grasped the key.

Du Fei continued, "How many people died in the Soviet Union during World War II? I remember correctly, it seems to be more than 20 million..."

Chen Zhongyuan then said, "It's 26.6 million!"

Du Fei nodded, "What was the population of the Soviet Union at that time? About 200 million. Excluding the elderly and children, half of the young men in several families died on the battlefield! What kind of concept is this? If it were another country, it would have collapsed long ago."

Chen Zhongyuan nodded silently, recalling the war that also brought serious disasters to China.

Du Fei took a sip of wine and continued, "This is why when something happened in North Korea, the Soviet Union did not dare to send troops, so we were left to deal with it. They really can't afford to die!"

"So, aren't they strong on the outside but weak on the inside?" Shen Jingya interjected.

She had never known this before, but listening to their uncle and nephew chatting today, her knowledge actually increased!

Du Fei said, "That doesn't count. Big Brother is still very powerful, but all his potential was overdrawn during World War II. After the war, he was dragged into the Cold War and couldn't recuperate. In the future..."

Speaking of this, Chen Zhongyuan also understood what Du Fei meant: "You are saying that the Soviet Union is strong but has weak potential. And now, although we are weak in strength, we have a large population and great potential. Sooner or later in the future, we will turn to foreign countries."

Du Fei nodded and said firmly, "Of course! We, China, have stood in the east of the world for thousands of years. Although we have been in decline in the past hundred years, we will be revived sooner or later!"

Chen Zhongyuan's eyes flashed with enthusiasm, and he murmured, "I really hope

I can see that day! "

Shen Jingya was also inexplicably excited. She poured herself a glass of wine and raised her glass, "Cheers to the rejuvenation of our great motherland!"

"cheers!"

Chen Zhongyuan stood up suddenly, getting drunker and even more excited. At the same time, he was also a little strange, where did Du Fei come from such a wide range of knowledge.

Originally, he only thought that Du Fei was more stable and smart than his peers, and that he was a talented person.

Now it seems that he has underestimated this nephew.

At least he was a bit ashamed of his ability to stand at a higher angle and overlook the overall situation. .??.??

The two of them chatted more and more happily. They drank a bottle of Moutai and half a bottle of Fenjiu before leaving the table.

Du Fei originally wanted to help pick up the table, but Shen Jingya glared and drove him away.

Instead, Chen Zhongyuan called him to the sofa.

The two continued to chat, and the drink changed from wine to tea.

Chen Zhongyuan specially took out a purple clay tea set from the study, with a black wooden tea tray underneath, which looked quite elegant.

Chen Zhongyuan smiled and seemed very interested.

He first poured himself a cup, and then poured Du Fei some, "Try this tea, it's said to be good tea from Fujian."

Du Fei actually only wanted to drink tea to quench his thirst.

If you tell him what kind of tea it is, he may be able to tell some allusions, but asking him to drink it is like a cow chewing peonies.

Fortunately, Chen Zhongyuan was about the same age. The two of them looked decent, but they drank alone.

Fortunately, they don't care about this either.

The cup that comes with the purple clay pot is not big, so even though the water is hot, you can still drink it.

After drinking the first cup of tea, Chen Zhongyuan chuckled and said, "Xiao Fei, speaking of which, I have something to thank you for."

Du Fei was surprised

Strange, but my heart moved.

Just now at the dinner table, he felt that Chen Zhongyuan's mood was a little unusual, and sure enough...

Chen Zhongyuan did not sell the matter anymore, and continued, "The bureau committee has made a decision two days ago."

Du Fei's eyes lit up, "You have been promoted to director!"

Chen Zhongyuan was slightly proud and nodded, "I'll still be in charge of the Public Security Department."

Du Fei stood up and laughed, "Third uncle, congratulations! If you take this step, I will also be a high-level official in the future!"

Chen Zhongyuan laughed.

It is indeed as Du Fei said.

Although Chen Zhongyuan, the deputy director, had considerable power before, his level was always a little lower.

But this time he was promoted to a full director, and his salary level has reached level 13, which can be said to be a high-level official!

The most important thing is that he is still so young, just in his thirties, and his future is limitless.

Chen Zhongyuan laughed, restrained his emotions, and poured Du Fei another cup of tea, "This time it went so smoothly, thanks to you, if it weren't for your alertness, we would be in big trouble this time."

Of course, Du Fei would not take it for granted that Chen Zhongyuan was able to be promoted this time because of his credit.

In fact, Chen Zhongyuan got to this point because of his own ability and qualifications.

Du Fei's assist was at best an opportunity, and the role it could play was limited.

However, at a critical time, this limited effect became the last straw that broke the camel's back.

So, Chen Zhongyuan said he wanted to thank him.

Du Fei knew what was going on and certainly wouldn't take it seriously.

But in any case, Chen Zhongyuan's move was a big plus for him.
