The news delivered by Wu Chunfu through Lou Hongyi was quite important, and in Du Fei's opinion, one million dollars was not much.
The telegram said that Du Fei should be careful about being attacked from both sides. Luzon in the east might send ships to attack South Vietnam from both sides.
This situation is simply too important.
Du Fei didn't know from what channel Wu Chunfu obtained this news, but he was certain that it was not groundless that it was passed on to Du Fei in this way.
The last time Du Fei cooperated with Wu Chunfu, Wu Chunfu was already ready to leave South Vietnam for Hong Kong.
Who would have thought that America's young friend died that time, but later the incident was settled.
He plucked up the courage not to leave, and was not affected. Instead, he went from Da Nang to Saigon.
But this time, Wu Chunfu finally saw through. South Vietnam was really in bad shape. America was unreliable and had to find a way on her own.
Before, he had been thinking about going to Xiangjiang with money, but now he had another option, which was to come to Kuching.
But he was not willing to be an ordinary rich man when he came to Kuching. It was no different from going to Xiangjiang.
He wants to continue to be a master, and a master must not only have money, but also power.
This time he saw the opportunity, and actually wanted to use this news to change his background here with Du Fei. Firstly, he would not leave South Vietnam and become a rich sheep. Secondly, Wu Chunfu thought that he had some abilities, and he would be there in another place.
room to play.
Regarding his thoughts, Du Fei had no time to think deeply at this time. Once Luzon gets involved, he will definitely be a force that cannot be ignored.
The current Luzon is not the Luzon before Du Fei traveled through time, but after self-castration.
The economy of Luzon is still quite good now, and the navy is also strong. If he really wants to join forces with South Vietnam, the situation Du Fei will face will be quite uncomfortable.
Another thing is that Luzon is different from South Vietnam.
Although South Vietnam is important, it is not as good as Luzon in one respect.
Luzon is America's biological son and the earliest colony after America's rise. It has been operating here for countless years. It is deeply rooted and intricate, and it is difficult to touch easily.
Du Fei thought about it, then looked up at the Prime Minister Chen Fangshi: "Old Chen, tell me your opinion."
Chen Fangshi's expression was serious. He is now the actual manager of Kuching, equivalent to the role of the general manager of the group company. He is very familiar with the surrounding situation. Of course, he knows the strength of Luzon and his relationship with America.
I understand better how difficult it will be for Luzon to get involved in the current situation.
Chen Fangshi said in a deep voice: "What exactly does America want to do?"
Du Fei said lightly: "It's not what America wants to do. Although America is powerful, it is never a whole. The resources controlled by a certain faction among them are enough to drive certain actions of Luzon."
Chen Fangshi frowned: "You mean Rockefeller?"
Du Fei pursed his lips: "Currently, they are the most likely, but others cannot be ruled out. After all... America is there, and anything is possible."
Chen Fangshi was silent and did not dwell on this issue. Instead, he suggested: "This matter is not a trivial matter. It is better to call Lin Tiansheng to discuss it together."
Du Fei nodded: "I'll make a call right now."
Since the population migration, the territories of Du Fei and Lin Tiansheng have no clear boundaries, forming a special structure in Borneo.
At the top level, Du Fei and Lin Tiansheng achieved benefit sharing through capital crossover, but each still formed two power centers in Kuching and Pontianak.
These two power centers are accompanied by their own affiliated forces, such as Lin Tiansheng's family, his father-in-law's relatives, and the local Nanyang forces that were conquered in order to win over people's hearts.
Du Fei's side is similar, the Zhu family, Wang family, Chen Fangshi's faction, and Eagle's faction.
Each of these factions holds a lower level of power and is considered the backbone of Du Fei and Lin Tiansheng.
However, beneath them, there is another system.
Because time was too short and more than 10 million people moved in a short period of time, the original basic structure must be preserved in order to improve efficiency.
The countryside still retains a similar structure to that in the country. Even if it becomes fragmented due to the loss of the upper-level structure, Borneo will maintain this special ecological structure for a long time to come.
Neither Du Fei nor Lin Tiansheng can change easily. This is an attitude and a stance. They even have to try their best to at least maintain the grassroots organizational structure on the surface.
Otherwise, if a big hat is pulled down, neither of them will be able to catch it.
Even if no one criticizes someone, it is not a good thing to have a negative impact.
Under this situation, it is virtually impossible for Du Fei or Lin Tiansheng to split into two families.
A few hours later, Lin Tiansheng's plane landed at Kuching Airport.
This is the latest K-8 passenger plane, one of the first batch of passenger planes to roll off the assembly line at Beijing Aircraft Factory. Du Fei gave one to Lin Tiansheng.
In addition to Lin Tiansheng, those who received gifts were Ka Dazuo, Sadat, Assad... and others from Nanyang were Subian and Li Jing... Everyone who had connections that Du Fei could gain was given away.
Of course, the gift is not free. In order to reciprocate the favor, the airlines in these places have to purchase some. A real friend like Ka Dazuo came up and asked for fifty planes. A superficial friend like Li Jing also bought it willingly.
cross.
Lin Tiansheng arrived in Kuching, and Du Fei personally came to the airport to greet him.
"Old Lin!" Du Fei walked over and gave him a bear hug.
Lin Tiansheng smiled and patted Du Fei on the back: "Old Du, you are a very busy man now."
After a brief exchange of greetings, the two got into the car, but they didn't talk about anything else. Lin Tiansheng asked directly: "What's the matter, why did you call me here specially?"
Du Fei briefly explained the current situation, and Lin Tiansheng's expression became serious.
He has also recently been paying attention to the confrontation between Kuching and South Vietnam.
Although he can't help much at sea, this matter is related to the future situation of this area.
If Luzon is involved again, the situation will only become more complicated.
This is not a good thing for Du Fei and him.
The two drove to the Kingdom Council Building to meet with senior officials in Kuching to discuss countermeasures.
Lin Tiansheng said: "Since we have received the news in advance, the best way is to eliminate it invisible and stop the intimidation before Luzon intervenes."
Chen Fangshi said: "In view of America's position, it may be difficult for us to change Luzon's position."
Everyone was silent, this was the biggest problem.
If you leave America alone, you really don’t have to worry about just being Luzon. The problem now is that you can’t leave America behind.
Du Fei said: "The reality is this. We cannot change the overall situation strategically. We can only think of ways to do it tactically."
Lin Tiansheng nodded: "It is not good for Luzon itself to intervene in this conflict. We must increase the price they may pay. It is best to create some trouble within them..."
This thought came together with Du Fei's.
Du Fei nodded: "Due to historical reasons, there has always been a deep conflict between God and Qingzhen within them..."
Chen Fangshi's heart moved: "You mean, make a fuss in their Medan Island?"
Medan is located in southern Luzon. The Moro people there have always wanted to be autonomous and gain more rights, but they have been suppressed by the Catholics, causing deep conflicts.
Du Fei and Lin Tiansheng both thought of this aspect. Since they wanted to take action, they had to hit the enemy's most vulnerable place.
Du Fei immediately decided: "Find a way to contact the guerrillas in Medan. No matter what the faction is or what the program is, give them money and weapons and let them cause trouble~"
…
On the other hand, Luzon Island, in the governor's palace of Marila.
As a dictator, Ferdinando disliked this feeling of being involuntarily.
In Luzon, he can do whatever he wants most of the time. There is only one situation where America is involved, and he must handle it carefully.
In Ferdinando's office, besides him there were several confidants, having a heated discussion.
"Your Excellency~" A somewhat bald middle-aged man bowed to Ferdinando and then looked at several other people: "Everyone, I emphasize again that this is just the request of Rockefeller, not America's official house.
We don’t have to do what we are told.”
Before the words fell, a younger man stood up next to him: "Mr. Minister, you are right, but I must remind you that Rockefeller's influence in America far exceeds our imagination.
Your will will definitely pay the price.”
The middle-aged man frowned and did not refute, because any further words would definitely involve some comments about Rockefeller.
He is a smart man and does not want to leave any excuse for others. He just discusses the matter and does not want to offend Rockefeller.
At this time, someone else stood up and said: "Everyone, uncle~" This young man looked at Ferdinando who was sitting on the main seat.
The young man was Ferdinando's nephew and his secretary.
The young man said: "Although Rockefeller is powerful, given the current situation, it is not wise to rashly become an enemy of Kuching... In my personal opinion, it is not wise. Based on America's situation in South Vietnam and the public opinion in America,
Withdrawal is a matter of time, and if it's quick... it may only take one or two years."
When talking about this question, everyone nodded. This was not a secret, and America had never been secretive about it.
The young man continued: "Once the troops withdraw, it will be a major blow to America's morale and prestige. They will definitely shrink their strength in the Nanyang region, or even... leave."
Everyone gasped. If America really withdraws from Nanyang, it will not be good news for them.
Once they lose America's support, Kuching will not be a vegetarian, and Siam will learn from the past.
However, no matter how troublesome it is, they have to bite the bullet. America has spoken. Do they have a choice?
Everyone couldn't help but remain silent.
Until a moment later, Ferdinando waved his hands helplessly and said: "In that case, let's do it~ Tell the navy to find a way to severely damage the enemy and satisfy our American friends."
In fact, according to Ferdinando's idea, it would be best to destroy all the ships in Kuching at once, but his reason told him that this was impossible.
As a neighbor, he knew very well that Kuching had a large number of missile boats and torpedo boats, as well as a heavy cruiser with a displacement of more than 10,000 tons.
Fortunately, he received reliable news from Rockefeller that this cruiser would cease to exist soon.
…
At the same time, in the heavily guarded port east of Kuching, a large ship with blue and gray paint was moored, which was the guided missile cruiser USS Kuching.
Because of the emergence of this ship, Kuching becomes the only country in the world that has guided missile cruisers.
At this time, the Kuching's boilers had been boiled and it was slowly leaving the port.
According to the order from Shangfeng, the entire ship entered actual combat status and prepared to go to sea to perform missions.
Below the foredeck, the sealed metal corridor is very cramped.
A man in blue overalls walked along the corridor, and in front of him was under the cruiser's main gun.
This is the third deck. The huge and complex main gun mechanism penetrates several decks and penetrates deep into the interior of the cruiser.
This person is not a sailor on the ship, but a technician at the shipyard responsible for modification testing.
He pursed his lips slightly, looking a little nervous. He looked back furtively and reached out to touch the wall of the compartment in front of him.
On the other side of this metal wall is the ammunition compartment for the main gun.
As long as the bomb is placed here, blowing up the compartment will cause the ammunition inside to explode, completely sending this giant ship with a full load displacement of 14,500 tons into the seabed.
And this is his only chance.
It came out of the shipyard and underwent many sea trials after modification, but it did not carry real ammunition on board.
Although the missiles were all in place, they were all on the superstructure at the rear of the ship. Even if they were detonated, they would only be able to damage the surface of the ship.
Only here, the explosion of the main gun's ammunition and the breaking of the keel are fatal.
However, the security level of the Kuching is quite high, and the soldiers on board have been strictly screened. There is only one loophole, which is the technical personnel.
After the Kuching was modernized, in order to ensure nothing went wrong, a lot of technical personnel were left on the ship and they would not be evacuated until all tests were completed.
These technicians can move around the cabin.
It's just that they never carried live ammunition before. Even if they did, the quantity was very small and not enough to cause large-scale explosions.
In fact, the sudden escalation of the conflict in South Vietnam this time was to force the Kuching to enter actual combat status in advance.
This person saw with his own eyes a large amount of ammunition being loaded onto the ship yesterday. As long as the explosives prepared in advance are placed, the ship can be sent to the bottom of the sea in ten minutes.
Thinking of this, the man's breathing became rapid. He looked back again and was about to put his hand into the pocket on his back... Suddenly, a voice came out: "Don't move!"
The man's whole body trembled, and his originally nervous and excited mood fell to the bottom in an instant.
His neck was as stiff as clockwork, and he looked in the direction of the sound.
I saw two gendarmes staring at him with pity, holding pistols and aiming at him.
At the same time, the hatch on the other side was kicked open, and two people rushed in, aiming their guns at him.
The leading officer scolded: "Take your hands out!"
The man was agitated and suddenly came back to his senses. A fierce look flashed in his eyes, and he turned out to be evil and had the idea of perish together!
