At this time, Lijiapo was far from as prosperous as it had been a few years ago.
For Lijiapo to truly develop, it will have to wait for the Yingguo people to leave and the Meguo people to come.
After the Meguo people failed in Vietnam, they urgently needed to find a new strategic fulcrum in Nanyang, and Lijiapo, located in the Strait of Malacca, was chosen.
In the following few years, with the help of industrial spillover from the United States, it developed by leaps and bounds. .??.
Now, Lijiapo is still a small and dilapidated place that cannot even supply itself with vegetables and fresh water. It was previously merged with the Malay Peninsula and Sarawak with the help of the Yingguo people.
Later, they were excluded because of the conflict between the horse people and the Chinese people. Li Jing came secretly this time, obviously with ulterior motives.
Du Fei listened, his mind was racing, and he thought of going with Julie.
In fact, after being forced to become independent, Li Jiapo hoped to join Malay again more than once. This time, things happened in Sarawak.
First, they were attacked by the Pontianak Ming army, and then there was the fight between Johnson and Winnie. During this process, Kuala Lumpur adopted a completely laissez-faire attitude.
So now, after the dust has settled, the already weak cohesion of Malays has been weakened even more.
Especially after Winnie took office, she had no contact with Kuala Lumpur. Anyone with a discerning eye could easily see that the so-called Malay Federation was about to collapse at any time.
At this time, Li Jing came to the door secretly. It was obvious that he was not interested in drinking.
Sure enough, Li Jing then expressed his intention to join the Kingdom of Sarawak as a free city.
This type of free city is relatively common in Europe, the most famous of which is the Free City of Danzig in the original East Prussia region.
When Julie heard this, she frowned.
At first glance, it sounds like the other party is taking the initiative to invest, and it seems like fat meat delivered to the door. But in fact, it is an apple with poison added secretly.
Once it accepts Li Jiapo, it means that Sarawak will completely withdraw from the federation and break with Kuala Lumpur to the west. By then, Li Jiapo, which is at the southernmost tip of the peninsula, will definitely become the focus of confrontation between the two sides.
In particular, Lijiapo itself does not have the ability to be self-sufficient and needs horses from the north to supply supplies. When the time comes, people will directly cut off water and electricity. What will happen in Kuching?
Is it possible to carry fresh water there one by one?
This is only one aspect. The biggest problem is that Li Jing proposed to join in the name of a free city. This brings little benefit to Kuching. It would be a big mistake if he really agreed.
Moreover, the location of Lijiapo must be secured 100% when Meiguo withdraws from Yuenan.
No matter who is the actual controller of Sarawak, even if Winnie is not dead or replaced by Julie, he is a real Yingguo person.
Meguo would not allow her to get involved in Li Jiapo.
After thinking through the pros and cons, Du Fei discussed with Zhu Li through the spiritual link, and immediately rejected Li Jing's so-called "good intentions" and sent him away as a gift.
Li Jing was very disappointed and couldn't help but look back after leaving the palace.
The two people who came with him were waiting outside. When they saw him coming out, they immediately went up to him and planned to ask. Li Jing waved his hand and said, "We'll talk about it when we get back."
When the two saw this, their hearts skipped a beat. It was easy to tell from Li Jing's expression that things were not going well. The three returned to the hotel.
One of them immediately asked: "They said no?"
Li Jing nodded gloomily.
Another person stamped his foot: "These damn Yingguo guys! If it hadn't been for them, why would they have stopped talking? Just halfway through the sentence, he noticed that Li Jing's face looked even more ugly.
In fact, after driving away the Oriental people, the Nanyang Chinese became very powerful and had great hope of establishing a large country dominated by Chinese.
But in the face of the returning Yingguo people, most Chinese elites like Li Jing chose to surrender and appease. As a result, a good situation was wasted.
After he disarmed himself, he was bullied by the horse people, and when he went to the Yingguo people to make decisions, he was ignored and looked down upon. At that time, Li Jing was among the people who believed in Yingguo wholeheartedly.
When the man said these words, he touched his sore feet.
Li Jing let out a long breath, waved his hands and said, "Forget it, you go ahead. I'm tired, let's take a rest." The two people could only leave in silence.
But after the door closed, Li Jing did not rest. Instead, he immediately picked up the phone and dialed. After a while, the phone was connected and a deep voice came: "How is the situation?"
Hearing this voice, even though he was not in person, Li Jing still bowed slightly: "I'm sorry, sir, she refused." There was a slight silence on the other side of the phone, and he said calmly: "Okay, I understand, you can go back."" br>
Li Jing responded and said hurriedly: "But Li Jiapo..."
Before he could finish speaking, the other party hung up the phone. The other party didn't care about Li Jiapo's life or death at all. Li Jing felt heavy and slowly put down the receiver in his hand.
At the same time, in the palace.
Du Fei was still thinking about the purpose of Li Jing's sudden visit.
It stands to reason that Li Jing could not have imagined that seeking a merger with Sarawak would only anger Kuala Lumpur.
When the time comes Kuching can’t do anything to Kuching, so it will use him to vent its anger.
Moreover, across the Kalimata Sea, Kuching has no ability to give him any real help. No normal person would do such a thing, let alone Li Jing, which would be harmful but useless. But he
He came, and he brought it up openly in front of Winnie, which made people think more. Du Fei thought about it carefully, and he felt more and more that he should have some purpose in coming this time.
The most obvious thing is to test Winnie's attitude towards Li Jiapo. As for whether there is anything else, Du Fei can't think of it for the time being.
They could only send out a crow team to keep an eye on Li Jing, but they found no contact with anyone. After only two days, they returned to Li Jiapo by boat.
On the other side, a few days later Pu Zhe led an army to join Igor in Bandar Seri Bega City. Before arriving, Du Fei specifically told Eagle through a spiritual link to cooperate with Pu Zhe as much as possible.
Therefore, after the two sides met, although each had their own precautions, they were generally in harmony.
Especially when it comes to the next command, Pu Zhe did not expect that Yiger, a native of Yingguo, would be very cooperative, making many of his prepared remarks in vain.
Afterwards, both sides left only a thousand men to guard the city of Sri Bega, guarded by Igor himself.
The other two thousand mercenaries in the city and the reinforcements transferred from Kuching joined forces with the eight thousand men under Pu Zhe's command. A total of ten thousand troops continued to move westward without stopping.
As expected, as Du Fei had expected, Ed En Shaojiang's marching speed was very slow because he was not willing to send troops.
The distance is obviously closer, but it starts first and arrives later.
The two sides collided more than 100 kilometers northwest of Bandar Seri Bega City. The result was even more unsurprising.
Aideen Shaojiang's troops were not prepared for battle at all. Rather than coming to capture the city, it was more like an armed parade.
When the leading troops of both sides encountered each other, they were blinded by intensive mortar fire.
Pu Zhe is well aware of the benefits of concentrating firepower, especially when faced with enemies whose equipment is inferior to his own. Concentrating superior firepower can often bring huge psychological pressure to the enemy.
If the enemy's psychological quality is poor, he will collapse immediately after one charge. This is his experience when he attacked Kuching before.
This time it was confirmed again.
Before Aideen Shaojiang could react, the nearly 3,000 men in the vanguard collapsed.
Following Cui Shanyong, he led his elite Gao Li soldiers to charge at the broken soldiers, directly throwing Ed En Shaojiang's main force into chaos...
This battle lasted less than three hours.
More than 8,400 enemies were annihilated, including 856 killed and more than 7,000 captured. The rest dispersed and fled into the rainforest.
As the commander-in-chief, Ed Enchan was almost captured, and finally escaped with only a few hundred people around him. He panicked like a lost dog and fled back along the original route.
Two hours later, Du Fei received the battle report in Kuching City.
Although they had already guessed that they would win, it was unexpected to win so neatly. After all, the opponent also had an army of more than 10,000 people.
The equipment cannot be said to be too bad, and they are regular troops after all. They actually did not survive a head-on firefight for three hours. Not only Du Fei, but also Pu Zhe did not expect it.
In his eyes, although the fighting power of the forces in Kalimantan is not very good, compared with the previous Tut Shaojiang, this Ed En Shaojiang is really more crotchless.
The original plan was to defeat the enemy and be considered a victory, but who knew that the plan would not change quickly. Pu Zhe immediately decided to leave the large army behind and send 3,000 elite troops to pursue them closely. This pursuit lasted more than 500 kilometers.
Aideen Shaojiang could no longer organize a decent defense line and retreated to his lair, but he was completely discouraged. Originally, he had more than 7,000 people left in his lair.
But Aideen didn't dare to gamble, this was already the last bargaining chip in his hand.
With these troops, he is Ed En Shao-chan, without these troops he is still nothing.
Especially this time, all those people he took away had to come back, not even a quarter of them were brought back together. East Kalimantan was originally a loose tribal alliance.
It turns out that Aideen is the strongest and has the highest prestige.
However, after this defeat, his prestige was greatly reduced, and the "Kutai people" in southern Tonga Province have been suppressed by Ed Enshaojiang.
Now that I heard that he had lost, there were immediate signs that he was ready to take action.
The Kutai people are the second largest tribal force in Tonga Province after Aide Enshaojiang. Compared with Aide Enshaojiang, which occupies the northern part of Tonga Province, the Kutai people are closer to Nanjia Province in the south because they were developed earlier.
, the economy is stronger and the population is larger.
Normally, the more barren north would not dominate Tonga.
But in the past, in order to balance the situation, Yajiada deliberately supported Ed En, which led to the current situation. Now, Suharto has no time to take care of himself, and Ed En has suffered another defeat.
The people of Kutai, who had been suppressed for many years, finally saw hope.
Especially before this, Lin Tiansheng defeated Tut Shaojiang and directly allowed the Dayak people in Central Kalimantan to establish an independent country. This also made the Kutai people think about it.
Faced with this situation, how dare Ed En dare to risk another confrontation with the pursuers behind him.
He simply fled all the way south.
In his opinion, the 8,000 men he had at his disposal could not defeat the enemy behind him, so how could they defeat the Kutai people? As for the pursuers behind him, he believed that the bad roads would stop the pursuers in time.
Sure enough, Aideen Shaojiang was right.
The pursuers stopped after occupying his lair and did not pursue further south. Du Fei was overjoyed when he received the news and immediately took the map to check.
After a rough calculation, Pu Zhe led people directly to the hinterland of Tonga Province in this battle, accounting for about one-third of the area.
In addition to the previously occupied Wen Lai, according to the previous agreement, Lin Tiansheng did not want to occupy these lands.
It's not that Lin was naturally generous, it was just beyond his reach. There was no border at all, and even if he wanted to, he couldn't reach it. At this time, the total area of the Kingdom of Sarawak exceeded 250,000 square kilometers.
It is almost one-third of the entire island of Kalimantan.
Northern Kalimantan was developed earlier, and its industry and agriculture are more developed. In terms of economic output, the area in Du Fei's hands has exceeded half of the entire Kalimantan.
It really fits the saying: No matter how hard you try, you won't find anything, and it won't take any effort to find it.
When Du Fei left Pontianak to return home, he originally planned to only stop in Xiangjiang and then return directly to the capital. Who knew that when he turned around and came back, he would create such a big mess again.
At this point, you must not give up what you got. Since it is in your mouth, you must swallow it. At the same time, far away in Saigon.
In an office decorated entirely with mahogany, a telephone was slammed to the ground and shattered into pieces. "Idiot! Idiot!"
Young Slater cursed angrily, still unable to vent the anger in his heart.
What was thought to be a sure victory turned into a huge defeat.
This was hard for him to accept.
What’s more, I can’t figure out why the Ge Mingjun in Pontianak helped send troops?
Aren't they enemies? They were fighting to the death not long ago, but in the blink of an eye... Start was breathing heavily and his face was ashen with anger.
Suddenly, his expression became extremely painful.
He groaned and covered his chest, enduring the severe pain from his heart, and went to the desk drawer and took out a small brown glass bottle.
I poured a nitroglycerin tablet into my mouth and sucked it hard. It took about a minute for the pain to subside.
Mr. Start closed his eyes and sat down on the chair, like a fish out of water, breathing feebly. It wasn't until ten minutes that he regained his composure, gritted his teeth and sat up straight.
The severe pain he experienced just now did not extinguish his ambition, but made him even more unwilling. Start glanced at the broken telephone on the ground and frowned.
He reached out and pressed the bell on the table.
Soon a young officer came in from outside.
Stat's eyelids drooped and he said calmly: "Ask the logistics department to send a phone." The young man responded and immediately turned around and went out.
Within ten minutes I got a new phone back.
After the logistics staff installed the phone and left, Start picked up the phone again. The call was dialed.
"Hey, White, I'm Stat... No, I'm pretty bad... I told you last time, about the oil company... Yes, I need it
Your help, my friend!······Of course, I promise, Edwin is trustworthy, he is at least not that fool Tut...5% of the income, of course, we are friends...
····Transportation? Don’t worry about this, I will let Ruan Chunming take care of it...”
After making this call, Stat's eyes were a little red.
White is his superior. Although his energy connections may not be stronger than his, he is currently in charge of the frontline ordnance department. If Stat wants to make a last ditch effort, he must ask for White's help.
But help is not just words. Without the benefits of real money, no one will help. Stater is also courageous.
Simply give White 5%, and he will get the other 5% after the event is completed, which is much better than only 2% before.
Moreover, there was no turning back when he opened his bow. He had already made a move before. If it was all over the place, whether the 2% could be saved is another question.
A few days later.
Located in Burungan County, Tonga Province, the outpost troops stationed under Park Zhe's command suddenly encountered a fierce counterattack by the enemy.
Ed En Shaojiang led the team to kill a carbine.
Different from the previous weak combat effectiveness, this time the enemy's firepower was surprisingly fierce.
Not only that, at least five helicopters appeared in the air to provide fire support on the ground.
Because the enemy did not have air power before, this advancing forward force did not have anti-aircraft firepower.
In addition, the previous fight was so smooth, I didn’t expect that the enemy’s combat power suddenly increased to a new level, and I was caught off guard...
A few hours later, Du Fei received news from the front line and couldn't help but look gloomy.
The original situation was obvious. Ed Enshaojiang had given up and took his people to hide in the southern part of Tonga Province.
Now they suddenly come back. Not only the weapons and equipment have been greatly improved, but also helicopter cover has appeared. It goes without saying.
Du Fei was silent for a moment, pursed his lips and dialed the phone again.
The call was connected and Du Fei had just revealed his identity. Before he could say anything else, Bush on the other end of the phone apologized: I'm very sorry, Du..."
Apparently Bush also knew about the situation in Tonga Province.
Du Fei was silent for a moment, but instead of getting angry, he said very calmly: "George, there is no need to apologize. I just want to ask, can you solve this Stater?"
"This..." Bush muttered, not sure.
Du Fei waited and said in a deep voice: "Okay, I understand, I will solve it in my own way, goodbye!" After saying that, before Bush could speak again, Du Fei put down the phone with a bang.
In fact, Du Fei had guessed this result before making this call.
How could Bush not know about such a big move by Master Stater, transporting weapons to Adern and sending helicopters to cover it?
The fact that he remained silent made the problem clear.
And the real purpose of Du Fei's call was not to use Bush to solve the problem, but to tell Bush to kill Start.
If this person dies from now on, don't make a fuss.
Bush heard a "bang" on the other end of the phone and couldn't help but put the receiver away from his ear. He turned back to look at another young woman, shrugged and put down the phone.
The woman is very beautiful, she must be less than thirty years old. She wears gold-rimmed glasses and has an intellectual beauty. "Is he angry?" the woman asked with a playful smile.
Bush said: "Of course, Ms. Botting, I don't know why you want to support Stat. But I must remind you that Du Fei is not a simple person, and we should not become enemies with him."
The woman said confidently: "Of course I know, but wouldn't it be interesting to force such a person to make concessions?" Bush curled his lips: "I hope it is as you wish, Ms. Botting."
The woman said: "Just call me Barbara, George. Speaking of which, we are also Harvard alumni."
"Of course~" Bush spread his hands, and although he said yes, he did not call Barbara by her name directly.
In fact, he disliked this conceited woman very much. He didn't understand why a wise man like Dr. Kissinger would find such a secretary.
