Logically speaking, Lao Toka has also retired, and he is considered to be without an official.
When Polezhne passed away, he should have gone to express his condolences and would not have appeared on the list of funeral committee members.
You know, this list has a strong symbolic meaning.
As the heir, Androbo must be the head of the funeral committee, followed closely by Qernenko.
Lao Toca is also on the list. What kind of signal does this send to the outside world?
Is it possible that the retired old Toka will also return to the center of Su Lian Zhengzhi?
When Du Fei saw the list, he also had the same doubts in his heart.
Because he didn't know whether Old Toca's name was on the list of the funeral committee in the world before he traveled.
Or did the last time he saw this old man in Leningrad bring about some changes?
Du Fei was still thinking about this issue until he got on the plane.
With the addition of the old Toca this time, will SUMLIN's future still head towards that irreversible abyss?
If not, what will it be like in the future?
Du Fei couldn't help but feel a little confused. He was not sure what the results of his efforts would be.
In the world before he traveled, there were many books devoted to studying the success and failure of speed connection, and there were also many opinions.
What Du Fei agrees with is that SRAM itself has big problems. Even Androbo's reforms have not really changed these shortcomings, they are just tinkering with them.
Even so, Androbo and Chernenko only persisted for more than two years and died one after another.
In other words, it is an inevitable result that SLA will weaken and eventually collapse.
But his sudden death in 1991 was a very dramatic accident.
His mind became more and more confused as he thought about it. Du Fei took a deep breath and looked back from the window.
…
At the same time, far away in a villa in the suburbs of Wanshengtun.
Nico's face was a little gloomy as he stared at Ford who was wearing casual clothes across from him.
Ford was successfully re-elected last year and secured his second term, which caused some changes in his mentality.
Now he doesn't need to worry about running for re-election, his wings are strong, and he doesn't obey Nico so much anymore.
Moreover, as time goes by, Nico's political influence is shrinking, and it is conceivable that one waxes and wanes.
"Okay~" While looking at each other, Nico took the lead in breaking the deadlock, raising his hands with a helpless expression: "Jeral, I understand your thoughts, we are friends, no one will prevent you from becoming a great general.
Commander, I promise."
Ford smiled, knowing he had won.
"Richard, we are more than just friends, you know..."
Not letting him continue, Nico patted him on the shoulder.
According to Nico's idea, he hopes Ford can take this opportunity to go to Moscow to express his condolences in person.
Doing so can greatly ease the relationship with Sulian, which is more in line with the interests of Nico and the group behind him.
But Ford apparently had other ideas.
One year has passed since his second term, and there is not much time left.
He must leave his own mark on history.
In order to achieve this goal, he must show a tougher and more aggressive attitude.
Especially taking advantage of this opportunity, Su Lian is busy with the transfer of power, giving him more opportunities to perform.
Even before that, when he learned of Polezhnye's death, he told the media that he would not change his attitude towards SMU.
Sulian is the enemy of the free world and will not change just because someone leaves.
Nico took a breath, suppressed the urge to continue arguing, and asked: "Then what are you going to do?"
Ford said: "You can let Jiao Zhi go. He is the deputy commander now, so it should be enough."
At this moment, the phone on the table rang.
Ford walked over to answer the phone: "Hey, I'm...yes...got it..."
Nico was listening.
Ford put down the phone after a moment, a flash of hesitation in his eyes.
Nikki couldn't help but frowned at the situation and asked him what was going on?
Ford said: "I just received the news from Huaguo that Lin will go back to Moscow to attend Polezhnye's funeral."
Nico felt a chill in his heart, and immediately felt helpless.
…
That evening, Du Fei's plane landed at a military airport on the outskirts of Moscow.
Because in the past few days, there have been too many special planes taking off and landing at Moscow Airport.
As Du Fei, it was difficult to get in, so we had to find another way.
After getting off the plane, Natasha was already waiting here in advance.
"Du~" Natasha hugged Du Fei, obviously feeling sad.
No matter how history evaluates Polezhnye, or how foreigners ridicule him.
But no one can deny that it was this "mediocre" person who led SMU to the top.
Regardless of the people's living standards or the overall strength of the Guo family, it is unprecedentedly powerful.
Despite his various shortcomings, which foreshadowed his future collapse, it cannot be denied that he was still loved by people in SAL at this time.
Du Fei didn't know what to say, so he could only respond with silence and pat Natasha's back gently.
Then the two got into the car.
Natasha turned the key, and the car's engine vibrated, but the moment it started driving, she said in a low voice: "Thank you~"
Du Fei heard this and knew that the other party should be referring to the physical problems that Androbo had reminded him before.
Presumably Lao Toca has also confirmed it through some channels.
This time Old Toka also came out again and appeared on the list of the funeral committee, and it was also because of this.
Du Fei said "hmm" without saying much.
…
A few days later, Polezhne's funeral ended.
Afterwards, Andro couldn't make an unexpected succession, and Qiernian could assist.
Old Toca also became the new No. 5, several steps ahead than when he retired.
This is an accident. No one thought before that the old Toca could make a comeback.
In a cafe in the airport.
Sitting next to the dark brown prototype wooden table are Dufy and Georges Boucher.
They were both preparing to take a flight to leave. It was a "chance encounter" here, and they had a cup of coffee with old friends.
"George, I haven't congratulated you in person for becoming the deputy commander." Du Fei smiled and gestured with a cup of coffee.
Correctional cloth stone remained reserved and said "thank you".
Du Fei said: "Believe me, this is not your upper limit. Maybe next time, or the next time, you will definitely become the owner of that office."
Zhizhi Bushi was stunned. He didn't expect Du Fei to be so straightforward, but there was no doubt that he liked hearing these words.
And this is not a compliment. With his current reputation and status, he has great prospects for the future.
It’s time to correct the problem: “My friend, what do you think about the future of SMU?”
Du Fei was not surprised that the other party asked this. Today he and Zhi Zhi Bu Shi appeared here coincidentally, with the purpose of testing the other party's attitude.
The official status of the two parties is not equal, and it is this inequality that prompted this meeting.
If there was truly equality of status, today's meeting would not exist at all.
Du Fei smiled, took a sip of hot coffee and said: "How can I see that a huge and complex system will not fundamentally change due to the change of a certain factor, even if this factor is very important..."
Jie Bushi pursed his lips: "Of course, you are right, but changes have already occurred, haven't they?"
Dufy understood that he was referring to Androbo's coming to power.
Androbo is very different from Polezhne in terms of personality and approach to things.
In order to worry about Polezhny, he was quite restrained in doing things before.
Now that we can finally let go, there is no doubt that this will bring huge changes to Sulian's internal and external strategies.
In comparison, Du Fei knows better.
But he knew better that Androbo's plan was to start from the inside and then from the outside.
Let's get things done internally first. Bolezhne had some scruples before, and with the huge financial income he obtained through oil, he could not care about transferring some of the benefits to the local factions.
However, with the decline in oil prices, it has become increasingly difficult for the Central Bank of China to maintain its financial ties, and this contradiction has become increasingly irreconcilable.
This is why when Androbo used Afhan to attack Central Asia, Polezhne adopted an attitude of acquiescence and even contributed to the situation.
Objectively speaking, Androbo's series of measures are effective.
It is very effective in maintaining the normal operation of Sulian, a huge fruit machine.
As long as it can maintain operation, there will be no major problems with SRAM.
The next step is to persist until the 21st century. With the development of computer and Internet technology, Sulian can also benefit from it.
It's a pity that Androbo's body couldn't last more than ten years, or even a few years.
Qiernianke, who inherited his strategy, also died of illness early.
No one expected this situation.
Those whose interests were harmed by his reforms immediately seized the opportunity and began to fight back crazily.
The result is that a guy who can stretch his hips but is not clear-headed becomes the final successor.
Of course Du Fei would not tell Bu Shi this.
"Correction, I don't think you need to be too nervous." Du Fei tried his best to relax: "After all, no matter who is replaced, Sulian's main energy is currently focused on Afhan and Induyang."
Zhizhi Bushi shrugged: "This is what I'm nervous about. If they get the Indu Ocean, it will be a big trouble, and it will be the same for you."
Du Fei smiled and said: "Don't be kidding, this is your game, don't drag us into it. If this is a boxing match, you are all heavyweights, and I...at best, I am a middleweight, not a boxer."
track.”
He was speechless. As an old acquaintance, he knew that persuasion and debate were meaningless on this kind of issue.
"Okay~Du...but I still remind you, Su Lian will never be a good neighbor."
Du Fei said: "Of course, I know this better than you." There was still something in Du Fei's stomach that he had not said out loud. America was also not a good ally.
As an ally with America, you must always be careful not to be harvested by her scythe.
There are understanding people on both sides, so it is enough to stop this topic at this point.
Zhengzhi Bushi raised his hand and looked at his watch, stood up and said, "Du, it's almost time, I'll take a step first."
Du Fei also stood up, shook hands and said, "See you next time, my friend. I hope I can call you Your Majesty the Commander-in-Chief next time."
The smile on Zhengjie Bushi's face grew stronger. He thanked him and turned around to leave, but stopped again and whispered: "Du, you have never been a middleweight..."
Du Fei was stunned for a moment, but before he could speak, the person had already left.
Watching the figure leaving the coffee shop, Du Fei narrowed his eyes and sat back on the chair.
I don’t think it’s meaningful to correct Buishi. Regardless of whether she is in the middleweight class or not, America’s primary enemy currently has one and only one, and that is Su Lian.
No one can change this.
According to dialectics, only after the principal contradiction is resolved can the secondary contradictions be elevated to the principal contradiction.
If the main contradiction cannot be resolved, then the secondary contradiction can only be secondary.
Du Fei chuckled, picked up the cold coffee and took a sip.
Sometimes, I have to say that the existence of Sulian is quite good.
Two hours later, Du Fei's special plane taxied slowly to take off.
"I heard that you met with the orthopedic cloth just now?" Opposite Du Fei, Natasha was wearing a light gray skirt, her legs crossed casually, her high heels hanging on her toes, swaying carelessly.
Originally, the old Tokar had also retired, and Natasha returned to Leningrad to take up a post.
Now, as her grandfather returns, Natasha follows suit.
Whether Lao Tokar is in office or not is completely irrelevant to his family and faction.
When Natasha goes to the capital this time, she will become an important official of the Sulian History Museum.
Deliberately arriving on the same plane as Du Fei was not just because of Du Fei, but to strengthen the relationship between them and show Moscow that the old Toka also had influence in the East.
…
After a winter, Polezhnye's death did not have much impact on SMU.
This huge country is still operating in an orderly manner as in the past.
Contrary to what some people had expected, Androbo would take drastic actions after taking power.
In the more than three months since November 11, Androbo did not take much action, but only strengthened some of the previous measures.
It is still exerting force in the direction of Central Asia, using the name of war to make it difficult for people to find fault.
Although the Soviet army's performance in Afhan was not very good, anyone with a discerning eye knows what is going on. It is not a military issue there.
Moreover, after seeing the "Western Eight-1" exercise last year, no one dared to question the combat effectiveness of the Soviet army.
As the most direct competitor, America can only and must find another way.
…
January 21, 1983.
During his speech, Ford suddenly proposed that in order to maintain the balance between ballistic missiles and mushroom power with SULIN, more advanced technology must be used to offset SULIN's increasing mushroom attack capabilities...
More than ten hours later, a telegram delivered the news to the capital.
Du Fei was immediately called to Dad Zhu's office.
"Let's take a look~"
A telegram was dropped on the coffee table in front of him.
Du Fei was still a little confused, but he suddenly realized it when he picked it up and looked at it.
Although the commander-in-chief at this time was Ford rather than Li Gen, as the saying goes, some things would still happen if someone changed.
This is the so-called general trend.
The plan proposed by Ford to build a missile defense system was the famous Star Wars plan!
