Hearing the word "soft persimmon", Du Fei showed a hint of amusement.
The reason why there is a saying of "old stubbornness" is because it is difficult for people to update themselves on the knowledge they had when they were young once they get old.
Most people are like this, and only a very small number of elites have this ability to renew themselves.
And those old and young people from the East have experienced the most glorious period of the East Empire. Even if it failed in the end, even if there was the Goryeo War, which proved the power of Hua Xia, they still stubbornly believed that Hua Xia was not as good as them.
This stereotype is difficult to change without cracking their heads.
At this time, Dad Zhu said in a deep voice: "Xiao Fei, if you are asked to do this, what are you going to do?"
Du Fei was slightly startled. It stands to reason that if something like this happened, there would be a specialized person to deal with it, and it would definitely not be Du Fei's turn to point fingers.
But since Dad Zhu asked, he wouldn't be unreasonable.
"Dad? What is this...?" Du Fei didn't talk around in circles in front of Zhu's father and asked directly: "Do you want me to go?"
Dad Zhu said: "Some comrades think you are more suitable, I have no objection."
Du Fei understood the meaning, smiled and said: "In that case, I will obey the organization's arrangements."
…
After coming out of Dad Zhu's place, Du Fei quickly met an old acquaintance.
"Lao Luo!" Du Fei smiled and shook hands with Luo Zhengming: "I never thought we would have the opportunity to work together."
Luo Zhengming shook hands with Du Fei, shook his head vigorously and said, "I didn't expect that either. I was a little worried at first. Now that I've done it for you, I feel relieved."
Luo Zhengming's position is very correct. Although he is very senior and experienced, at this time, he is just Du Fei's deputy.
What surprised Du Fei even more was that besides Luo Zhengming, there was another person who would go to Japan with him this time.
This person is Shen Jiaxing.
After learning the news, Shen Jiaxing stood in front of Du Fei.
Du Fei blinked his eyes and said in disbelief: "Sister Jiaxing, you... are going to work in Dongyang?"
Shen Jiaxing said matter-of-factly: "Is there anything I can't do?" He said something meaningful: "I'm counting on you this time."
By this time, the situation was roughly clear.
Among the three of them, Du Fei is the conductor, Luo Zhengming is the officer, and Shen Jiaxing is the eyes and ears, responsible for observing and recording.
As for why Shen Jiaxing was deployed, Du Fei thought it had something to do with letting him go to Japan in person this time.
Based on Du Fei's experience over the years, he often performs unexpectedly well at critical moments.
At this time, sending him out should make many people feel at ease.
Shen Jiaxing is an anchor, ensuring that Du Fei stays in Dongyang within a certain period of time.
For Du Fei, leaving at this time is also a good choice.
Living in a place of right and wrong, everyone is a person of right and wrong, and no one is exempt from vulgarity.
Since you don't have those thoughts, you might as well jump out directly.
Two days later, Du Fei made simple preparations and took a plane to Tokyo.
There were more than ten people arriving on the same plane this time. They were nominally a foreign trade delegation from Huaguo, but secretly they were arranged by Luo Zhengming.
After getting off the plane, you will be greeted by corresponding expatriate personnel.
According to regulations, there was a special reception hotel, but Du Fei did not check in. Instead, he took a car directly to a residence in Wenjing District.
This is a Meiji era mansion, located in the central area of Tokyo, covering an area of four acres. It is a very traditional Oriental building.
The earliest one once belonged to the famous Chinese family in East Asia, but now it was bought by Du Fei through the Nanyang Development Fund as one of the properties for investment in Tokyo.
Luo Zhengming and Shen Jiaxing followed them in, looked around and marveled.
By the time we settled down, it was already past four in the afternoon.
There are usually dedicated maintenance personnel in the house, but I didn't know that the boss who hired them was a Huaguo man.
When it was time to eat, the maid in kimono invited Du Fei and the three of them to the restaurant for dinner.
In addition to Luo Zhengming and Shen Jiaxing, there was also a short Asian man with eyes who came over at the same time.
Du Fei introduced: "This is Comrade Gangdao, the master craftsman of our Dongyang branch."
"Please give me more light~" Master Gangdao stood up and bowed.
Luo Zhengming and Shen Jiaxing met Master Gangdao for the first time. Although they had a bad impression of Japanese people, since the other party was a comrade, it was a different matter.
Luo Zhengming stood up and shook hands with Master Gangdao: "Hello, Comrade Gangdao~"
Shen Jiaxing also shook hands with him and said nothing.
Du Fei knew that the Shen sisters had a big hatred against the Japanese and hated the whole family, so he turned to ask: "Mr. Gangdao, please introduce the current situation."
"Hai ~" Master Gangdao bowed slightly on his chair and talked about the follow-up development of the big plate explosion the day before yesterday.
First of all, the Tokyo government takes this matter very seriously, at least in terms of attitude and caliber.
But don't expect them to take concrete action.
It is now the third day of the incident. The bureaucrats in Tokyo know exactly who the murderer is and who is behind the scenes.
But they still excuse themselves by saying that they are still investigating, which fully illustrates the problem.
Then there is America's attitude. Regarding the actions of the Japanese people, America is not only happy to hear about it, but at least she is gloating about it behind her back.
It is even less possible to expect them to put pressure on Dongyang.
As for public opinion, it is relatively divided.
A large part of it is indifference. In the eyes of these people, explosions and flowers and fruits are not as important as going to work and making money.
The other part is because of the previous problems of restoring relations and having to accept compensation and garrison troops, which touched their sensitive nerves and their attitudes are generally radical.
After listening to Gangdao Master's words, both Luo Zhengming and Shen Jianing frowned.
The situation was more difficult than they expected. The most important thing was that they were outside the country and had very few resources to mobilize. It was still an extremely embarrassing and critical situation.
For a while, I couldn't find an entry point to break the situation.
Du Fei remained calm. After listening carefully, he tapped the armrest with his fingers.
It wasn't until the housekeeper came over to remind them that dinner was ready that the four of them went to eat.
What I had was a very high-end kaiseki meal. Everything from the utensils to the dishes were exquisite. The only drawback was that the portions were too small.
For Du Fei, a man with a big belly, he only felt seventy full after eating three times the normal amount.
Compared to Master Gangdao, this was a surprise. With his financial strength, he could not usually afford such high-quality cuisine.
Luo Zhengwen and Shen Jiaxing felt that it was unsatisfactory. They had no special filter for so-called Oriental cuisine. To be honest, it was just like that.
Mainly eat an exotic food.
It wasn't until after the meal that Master Gangdao introduced some of the situation here before he said goodbye and left.
The three of them, Du Fei, walked to the courtyard behind the mansion.
Because it covers a large area, this mansion is very grand, and the courtyard at the back covers an area of more than one and a half acres.
In the central area of Tokyo, owning such a huge mansion is definitely a luxury.
The three of them were sitting on the edge of a corridor facing the landscaped pond.
Shen Jiaxing asked Du Fei what he planned to do?
Luo Zhengwen remained silent. This time he came out as a 'general' and was only responsible for executing Du Fei's plan.
Du Fei looked at the plump koi swimming slowly and leisurely in the pond: "Don't worry, I will meet with America's Mason-chan army in the East tomorrow to see what he has to say. Although this place belongs to the East, in the final analysis it is still
America, if we want to do something here, we must get support from others, even if they don’t support it, at least don’t oppose it.”
Shen Jiaxing and Luo Zhengwen were slightly surprised. Of course they understood what Du Fei said.
But before that, Du Fei didn't disclose the situation of contacting America Jiang Jun at all.
What surprised them was that Du Fei had already made all the arrangements when he got off the plane!
At this time, they finally understood why Du Fei had to come to Dongyang this time. No one else could match Du Fei's personal connections and resources in this area.
…
The next day, Du Fei got up early.
Although it was a luxurious mansion, he was still not used to it. It was not at home after all.
By the time he finished washing up, Shen Jiaxing and Luo Zhengming were one step ahead of him.
The three of them had a simple breakfast, and about ten o'clock, they received a phone call to confirm.
About half an hour later, a car with a local Tokyo license plate arrived and drove directly into the garage without getting off the car outside.
Dufy was waiting alone in the garage.
As the driver's door opened, a young man got out and looked at Du Fei.
Du Fei immediately showed a smile on his face, stepped forward and gave him a hug: "Hey, Justin, my friend, long time no see!"
This person is exactly the young man who represented the Seventh Fleet whom I met last time in Guam.
"Du, I'm very happy too." Then he introduced the middle-aged man who got off the co-pilot: "Uncle Mason, this is Du, my good friend."
Both of them were wearing casual clothes. Mason Jiangjun was very tall, about 1.9 meters tall, with a long face and a mustache, giving him a tough and tough temperament like a Western cowboy.
"Your Excellency Jiang Jun, it's a great honor for you to be here." Du Fei stretched out his hand and shook hands with Mason Jiang Jun.
The opponent's palms are thick and the jaws are thickly calloused, so the handshake is very strong.
"Du, I heard Northrop talking about you." Mason Jiangjun laughed and vaguely pointed out that he was related to Northrop.
Du Fei was not surprised. As a well-known arms company in America, Northrop had a deep relationship with the military.
However, this time Du Fei only invited through Justin. Mason Jiangjun named Northrop to show that Justin was not worthy enough and could not invite him originally. The reason why he was able to come was because of Northrop's reputation.
After all, it is not a secret that Duffy is now cooperating with Northrop to produce Northrop's YF-17.
Justin stood aside, a strange color flashing in his eyes.
Du Fei understood the situation, and after exchanging pleasantries, he led the two of them to the teahouse.
Justin looked at it while walking: "Du, I never thought you had such a beautiful house in Tokyo."
Du Fei chuckled and said, "If you like it, I'll give it to you."
Justin was stunned, not sure what Du Fei meant by this: "Du, don't be joking, just lend it to me for a party if you have the chance."
Du Fei smiled without saying anything. In his heart, he hoped that Justin would be more greedy and bold.
A mere house is nothing. As long as Justin dares to take it, Du Fei will give it to him, or even more.
No matter what Justin gets from him, Du Fei is sure to get a bigger reward.
Mason Jiangjun only thought it was a joke between two young people and did not take it seriously.
And based on his aesthetics, he doesn't like this kind of courtyard.
The three of them came to the tea room. Luo Zhengming and Shen Jiaxing were next door, and they could hear the conversation through the bug.
Both parties understood the purpose of this visit, and did not waste time testing each other and went straight to the point.
Du Fei asked: "Your Excellency Jiang Jun, what do you think of what happened in Daban recently?"
Mason Jiangjun said: "I'm very sorry about this. Fortunately, there were no casualties."
Du Fei said: "It is indeed very regrettable. I didn't expect that it was already the 1970s and there were still die-hard imperialists in Japan." At this point, he looked deeply at Mason Jiang Jun: "This is America's dereliction of duty!
"
Mason Jiangjun and Justin were stunned, not expecting Du Fei to openly accuse them.
Du Fei continued: "As the founder of the post-war world order and the cornerstone of the anti-fascist alliance, America has the responsibility to the whole world to eliminate the remaining ghosts of the defeated countries and treat them harmlessly.
Failure to do so will inevitably affect America's prestige and credibility as a world leader."
Mason Jiangjun frowned.
Although Du Fei's words sounded useful, he also understood the meaning. He pursed his lips and said, "I'm just a soldier."
Du Fei was not discouraged. From the beginning, he did not expect to get anything from a young master. The reason why he said this was to report.
The implication is, if something happens on your territory, do you care about it? If you don't care about it, I can take care of it myself.
Even if there was a big fuss in the future, Du Fei would still have something to say.
On the other hand, it is an opportunity to develop contacts and make connections.
This time, Du Fei invited Mason Jiangjun through Justin. It meant that Du Fei owed Justin a favor. If there was any opportunity to make money next time, he would have the opportunity to call Justin.
With Justin's background, he can't get into Tracy and Edward's circle. If Du Fei is willing to take him, he will definitely be grateful.
…
After some negotiation, about an hour later, Justin and Mason left.
Du Fei met Luo Zhengming and Shen Jiaxing again.
Luo Zhengming and Shen Jiaxing listened to what they just said.
Du Fei said: "Okay, now it's confirmed that America will not interfere and is prepared to watch us and the Japanese fight each other."
Luo Zhengming frowned. He also understood America's thoughts, but they were passive in this way.
Originally, Huaguo had very few resources to call upon in the East, so if he wanted to make a difference, it was best to recruit America.
Shen Jiaxing was also worried and looked at Du Fei: "Then what should we do?"
Du Fei said: "It's still the original plan. I'll say hello to America in advance today, but in the end I have to drag them into the water."
At this point, Du Fei raised his hand and looked at his watch: "I'm going to meet people in Hokkaido later. It's inconvenient here, so I'll go out." Then he looked at Luo Zhengming: "Lao Luo, you get it from the comrades here.
Contact, be careful.”
Luo Zhengming nodded. The main reason he came this time was to 'do dirty work' for Du Fei.
Among them, some need to be done by the people brought this time, and some need to contact comrades who have been lurking here for a long time.
But how to lure America into the water, Luo Zhengming and Shen Jiaxing still have no idea.
