Chapter 1377 A power vacuum that lasted for several months
Du Fei trotted down the gangway next to the plane, shook hands with Chen Fangshi who was standing at the front below, and said with a smile: "Thank you for your hard work, Old Chen!"
Chen Fangshi's face was glowing red and he was in high spirits.
Since the so-called Nanyang Economic and Trade Alliance Conference was held in Siam, Chen Fangshi appeared in front of the world for the first time. Now he has become a well-known leader with regional influence.
Chen Fangshi himself did not expect this.
The so-called great road is fifty, Tianyan is forty-nine, and one of them escapes.
Although Chen Fangshi was proficient in deduction techniques, he did not expect that he would have such an opportunity in his later years.
In fact, in his deduction, he was content to escape from Yan Da and enjoy his old age.
Unexpectedly, when Du Fei was a variable, his fate also changed.
First, I met the mothers of Yu Jiajia and Yu Xinxin, and had a second spring.
Later, he used Xiangjiang as a springboard to come to Nanyang and became the prime minister of a country.
The two exchanged simple greetings, but were not in a hurry to get down to business, because there was an uninvited guest behind Chen Fangshi. Du Fei was slightly surprised when he saw this person on the gangway just now.
This person is Subian.
Although legally speaking, after the last transaction, Du Fei and Subian can be regarded as "ourselves".
Du Fei took over Subian's legal orthodoxy here and became the legitimate leader of the Indian Federation. Subian received a safety guarantee. At least Du Fei and Lin Tiansheng would not attack him across the sea, and they agreed with him in West Java and
Rule of Sumatra.
In fact, Subian is not afraid of Lin Tiansheng. Although Lin Tiansheng is more outstanding than Du Fei in land combat, Lin Tiansheng has no wings and cannot fly to Yajiada.
Du Fei is different. He needs ships and planes. If you really want to mess with him, he will never get a good result.
It was precisely because he understood this that Subian made the decision to stay humble.
Du Fei and Subian also shook hands warmly: "Haha, Lao Su, you're fine!"
Subian smiled and shook his arms, his mouth full of compliments.
Although he didn't say why he came, Du Fei could guess that he must be asking someone for help.
But this was not the place to talk. After shaking hands with several senior local Kuching officials, Du Fei and Chen Fangshi got into a Hongqi car together.
Currently, all reception and official cars in Kuching are Hongqi cars imported from China.
However, these cars are not directly delivered as complete vehicles, but are produced through authorization. The parts are shipped first and assembled locally in Kuching.
According to the previous agreement reached in Bangkok, although 70% to 80% of the processes for assembling these cars are completed domestically, there is only one assembly line in the industrial zone in Kuching. The products are considered to be produced in Kuching and can enjoy Nanyang trade.
Alliance offers.
This kind of car is sold under the Hongqi brand in Kuching, but when sold abroad, it is transformed into a "Nanyang" brand car.
Although this kind of car has no technical advantages, the cost is relatively low. Domestic labor and materials are lower than those in foreign countries.
Coming to Nanyang, the cost of assembly is not high. In addition, it is mainly sold locally in Nanyang, which naturally has an advantage over cars from other countries.
In addition, in order to cooperate with car sales, Kuching has also joined forces with several other fruit companies to severely crack down on smuggling.
Investigations and punishments from transportation channels and the market have forced those who need to replace their cars not to dare to reach out.
After these operations, coupled with the sales method proposed by Du Fei, similar to the '4S' store, he cooperated with Siam, Malay, Li Jiapo, and other local powerful forces to share the profits. Naturally, these places cooperated vigorously.
.
This is only the first step. After the car sales network is launched, Du Fei's next plan will be the top priority.
With the current consumption level in Nanyang, very few people can afford a car, and motorcycles are really popular.
With the expansion of outlets, and the introduction of motorcycles with cheap prices and beautiful designs, it is the opportunity to occupy the market.
Du Fei sat in the car and listened to Chen Fangshi's report on the current situation.
I was not in a hurry to talk about the friction with South Vietnam, but I talked about Subian first.
Du Fei was really surprised to see Subian here. If there wasn't something urgent, Subian would never leave his nest easily.
Sure enough, Chen Fangshi briefly explained the situation.
Because the situation in Sumatra has become more and more serious, and as the decline of Subian has become more and more obvious, the local factions on the island have become more and more unscrupulous.
Du Fei understood that Subian was here to ask for help.
The two parties had made a secret agreement before, Subian offered his legal authority, and Du Fei recognized his current territory. It can be said that both parties got what they needed.
Now, there is no problem on Du Fei's side, Subian did not suppress the situation.
As for whether to help or not, Du Fei and Chen Fangshi really need to help.
Because Du Fei, or the current legitimacy of Kuching, has inherited the lineage of Subian and Suharto.
If Du Fei wants to have legitimate reasons to continue to expand within the original scope of the seal, he must maintain Subian's orthodoxy.
And this is the last bargaining chip Subian currently has.
After understanding this situation, Du Fei's mind was racing and he already had some ideas about this matter.
Then he asked about the specific situation of the South Vietnamese warships.
Chen Fangshi's expression was serious and he said in a deep voice: "Speaking of this matter, there is something really strange about it."
Du Fei said "Yeah": "What's so strange?"
In fact, the reason Du Fei came over in such a hurry was because he felt something was wrong.
Logically speaking, there is no grudge between Kuching and Saigon. This time the other party is obviously targeting Kuching and must have come with a purpose.
Du Fei said: "Have you sent someone to negotiate with them? What did they say?"
Chen Fangshi shook his head: "We sent the note through normal procedures, but the other party has not made any response so far."
Du Fei frowned: "Are you so slow?"
Du Fei has long known that the current situation in Saigon is very unstable. As America increasingly expresses its intention to escape, the ruling power of the South Vietnamese government they support is weakening significantly.
Among them are "sluggish response", "financial collapse" and "the military is out of control".
Chen Fangshi added: "Our secret sentry over there reported that Saigon's senior officials were also surprised by this incident. According to our intelligence analysis, this may be an unauthorized action by the Navy and not an order from Saigon."
Du Fei was noncommittal. Regardless of whether it was true or not, he could see that the situation over there was more chaotic than expected.
It even went so far as to directly mobilize ships to take action without the approval of superiors.
And if nothing unexpected happens, this matter must have something to do with America.
Although the situation in South Vietnam is terrible, anyone who can allow the navy to mobilize ships at will must have America's background.
Du Fei thought for a while and decided to contact America's 'friends' first to ask what was going on.
According to the current situation, America must be behind this incident, otherwise those people would not be so bold.
However, Du Fei doesn't think this is America's sudden turn. Based on the current situation, no matter who is on stage, they won't make much change.
It is more likely that a certain faction or group within America contributed to this incident.
Du Fei needs to know, who is this enemy?
Du Fei expressed his opinion, and Chen Fangshi nodded in agreement.
Chen Fangshi thought so too, so he did not take an extreme response when the situation arose. He only dispatched corresponding ships for confrontation, but did not dispatch gunships or missile boats.
Not to mention the current trump card in Kuching.
Just a month ago, the heavy cruiser Du Fei bought from Lijiapo had been refitted.
Sea trials are currently underway and the feedback is quite good.
After modernization, this old ship, which is more than 20 years old, has gained new vitality.
In addition to the two triple-mounted 203mm main guns at the bow, the rear main guns were removed, new anti-ship missiles, electronic and radar equipment were installed, and a large number of anti-aircraft guns were installed, and the tail was widened.
The deck forms a space for taking off and landing helicopters, increasing anti-submarine capabilities.
Not to mention the combat effectiveness of this ship, its huge displacement alone can make it a dominant force in the Southeast Asia.
In this era, the largest ships of the Guo family in Nanyang had a displacement of two to three thousand tons. The caliber of their guns rarely exceeded 100 mm, let alone cannons of more than 200 mm, and they were equipped with a considerable number of anti-reflective weapons.
With its missiles, this giant ship is powerful enough to sweep across Southeast Asia.
Coupled with a considerable number of missile boats and gunships, Kuching's maritime power has firmly occupied the top spot in the Southeast Asia region.
But the more times this happens, the less likely we are to act rashly.
As the old saying goes, you get carried away.
When people are most proud of themselves, they are most likely to fall into trouble. This is the so-called situation.
Chen Fangshi was even more careful in this regard.
He knew very well that the existence of the Kuching guided missile cruiser had broken the balance in the Southeast Asia region, and many people regarded it as a thorn in their side.
This time South Vietnam's actions were so strange, Chen Fangshi was afraid that the other party wanted to fish.
It would be terrible if the Kuching was sent out and was plotted by the other party.
Furthermore, Chen Fangshi has always adhered to his duties and knew his position very well. He was just Du Fei's butler and could not turn against his clients.
He was not born to be a lord, and his current position was already at its limit. If he really had any thoughts that he shouldn't have, he would be in trouble.
It doesn't matter to him, but now he, Old Chen, also has a wife and children.
Earlier he thought that his whole life would be like this, childless and alone until the end of his life. He never expected that his life would change unexpectedly in his later years. He was truly grateful to Du Fei.
After saying this, the motorcade arrived at the Kingdom Conference Building from the airport.
Du Fei got out of the car and led a group of people inside.
As time went by, most of Kuching's affairs got on track, especially after the introduction of a large population. After the initial chaos, it quickly stabilized.
The benefits of introducing the population are quickly revealed, various administrative efficiencies are greatly improved, and economic production explodes.
Last year alone, the economic growth of Kuching and the areas under its direct control was as high as 237%, more than quadrupling the original rate.
Lin Tiansheng's direct control area is slightly larger than Du Fei's, but it is roughly the same. However, because there is less industry, the data is slightly different, more than 170%.
But this is a one-time deal, and it will return to normal after it stabilizes.
Du Fei's side will have a relatively rapid economic growth due to the connection with domestic industries. Lin Tiansheng's side will be worse, but as long as it is close to Kuching, it can always get a sip of soup.
In fact, the current relationship between Du Fei and Lin Tiansheng is very subtle.
Originally, the two started their businesses from different places, each with their own people and territories.
However, due to unexpected reasons, we had to hurry up and receive a large number of people in advance, completely breaking up the two families. Now there is no clear boundary at all.
There are many organizations where you are part of me and you are part of me.
In fact, this situation is not a good sign. As the old saying goes, brothers settle scores, not to mention that Du Fei and Lin Tiansheng are not brothers.
This situation will definitely turn out to be a bad debt over time, because human nature dictates that one feels that one has suffered a loss.
In fact, Du Fei had thought of this situation at the beginning, but before he had time to think of a solution, Lin Tiansheng first proposed to join the royal fund in Kuching.
Du Fei didn't know if this was Lin Tiansheng's own idea or the guidance of some 'expert', but it was quite clever anyway.
It is equivalent to directly binding the two families together to a certain extent through private economic interests. It is truly a situation where both prosper and suffer.
If we can unite through marriage in the future, the relationship will be stronger.
This result is a win-win situation for Du Fei and Lin Tiansheng.
On Du Fei's side, because Lin Tiansheng joined, the position of host and guest has been quite clear, and Du Fei has the advantage in the relationship between the two parties.
Lin Tiansheng was not at a disadvantage either. Although he had some advantages in military capabilities, he had nearly 200,000 troops in his hands.
Through this population transfer, some private goods were also included, which greatly improved the combat effectiveness of his troops.
In comparison, Du Fei's Kuching had only a little over 100,000 ground troops, which was equivalent to one-half of Lin Tiansheng's.
But Du Fei is rich! In addition to the army, he also has the air force and the navy, which is terrible.
Especially after we visited Siam for a while, in just 48 hours, more than 10,000 people were transported by plane.
It even made Lin Tiansheng see how important technical equipment is to a modern army.
In the future, as time goes by, the economic gap between his Pontianak and Du Fei's Kuching will only grow wider.
By that time, the chips in his hand will become less and less valuable, so he might as well join early.
After all, we are no longer in ancient times. When it comes to the question of who should be the emperor, if you become the emperor, you are the most respected person, and if you become a minister, you have to kowtow and kneel.
To put it bluntly, the current relationship between Du Fei and Lin Tiansheng is more like the major shareholder and the minor shareholder of a group company. You are a shareholder and I am also a shareholder. You have more shares and you have more say, but the most basic relationship is equality.
It's just that their relationship is far more complicated than that, and full of more variables.
When it comes to the domestic situation, it can be said that it is both cooperative and vigilant, and it also provides a guarantee for the other party to a certain extent.
Came to Chen Fangshi's office.
Du Fei directly ordered someone to send a telegram to the orthodontist Bu Shi to inquire about the relevant situation.
It was about one o'clock in Kuching at this time, and twelve o'clock in the evening in Wan Sheng Tun.
Du Fei sent the telegram without expecting an immediate reply, and listened to the report from Wang Weizhong of the Navy.
The situation was quite different, but it was more detailed than what Chen Fangshi said just now, and he pointed out that the opponent's ship was not in good condition. During the confrontation, it was obvious that the speed was not enough, and the sailors on the ship were also relatively lax.
Du Fei nodded, these situations were not unexpected, the opponent was obviously not ready for battle.
The so-called provocation is more like a routine behavior.
After understanding the situation, Du Fei did not stay long and took the bus again to see Julie.
Julie is not at home, but in the special care unit of the newly completed Royal Hospital Kuching.
Although she is the second child and Julie is physically strong, she is still very cautious due to her special status.
When Du Fei saw her, Zhu Li was walking in the garden on the roof of the building, accompanied by Ma Sanmei and Song Zhenzhu.
There was a spiritual connection between her and Du Fei, but she was not surprised, as if she saw her husband who had just left in the morning.
"Xiao Li~" Du Fei called out and stepped forward, holding Zhu Li's hand.
Ma Dongmei and Song Zhuzhen silently hid out.
Seeing that no one was around, Zhu Li pursed her lips and raised her hand to hit Du Fei: "You heartless person, are you going to stop coming to see me if nothing happens this time?"
Du Fei let her beat him, stepped forward, kissed her and said, "I'll do it as soon as I get the chance."
As she spoke, she gently stroked Julie's belly, because she was about to give birth and her belly was extremely big, protruding, and there were obvious stretch marks on her lower abdomen.
Zhu Li rolled her eyes and said, "Whoever begs you to come, it's best not to come!"
Du Fei just pretended not to hear and said hehe: "Where is that brat Zhengping?"
Zhu Li is in the hospital, and Du Zhengping definitely can't come with her.
Zhu Li said: "My mother is bringing her~"
Du Fei nodded, now basically all of Zhu Li's group have come to Nanyang.
Asked: "The child's grandma and grandpa are in good health?"
Zhu Li said: "It's all good, but my dad still can't get over it."
Du Fei didn't answer. Anyway, it was already like this.
Now the second child is about to be born.
After spending two hours with Julie in the hospital, Du Fei was soon called away again.
It was almost seven o'clock in the evening when the telegram to Wanshengtun was answered.
As soon as the telegram was sent, Du Fei was notified, and half an hour later he got a reply from the doctor.
It is not difficult to see from the telegram that Jiao Zhi Bu Shi was relatively confused about this matter.
There have been signs that something is wrong with them recently. He only focused on the country and did not pay attention to the situation in Nanyang.
Although it was only mentioned briefly in the telegram, Du Fei thought of the watermen keenly, and then it seemed that the time was not right.
But if you think about it carefully, it doesn't seem impossible. The situation in Nanyang has also changed, right?
According to what Du Fei learned in the capital before arriving, many people within America have had enough of the willful Commander Nico.
At the end of the telegram, Zhizhi Bushi promised to help inquire about the situation and asked Du Fei to wait. There would be news soon.
Du Fei put down the telegram in his hand and thought about the current situation.
If, as speculated, America's internal conflicts intensify, and the denuclearization process is even started in advance, there will inevitably be a power vacuum that lasts for several months.
During this period, their central nervous system will be in a semi-paralyzed state. Can they use this opportunity to do something?
