Rebirth of the Flying Era

At this time, Lijiapo was far from as prosperous as it had been a few years ago.

For Lijiapo to really develop, we 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, thanks to the spillover of American industries, it developed by leaps and bounds.

Today, Lijiapo is still a shabby place that cannot even provide itself with vegetables and fresh water.

Previously, with the help of the Yingguo people, it merged with the Malay Peninsula and Sarawak.

Later, they were excluded because of conflicts between the horse people and the Chinese people.

Li Jing came here 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 are happening in Sarawak.

First they were attacked by the Pontianak Ming army, and then there was a fight between Johnson and Winnie.

In 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 at all. It is not difficult for anyone with a discerning eye to see that the so-called Malay Federation will 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 pitch, as if they are fat meat delivered to their door.

But in fact, it is an apple with poison added secretly.

Once Li Jiapo is accepted, Sarawak will completely withdraw from the federation and break with Kuala Lumpur in the west.

By then, Lijiapo, located at the southernmost tip of the peninsula, will definitely become the focus of the confrontation between the two sides.

In particular, Lijiapo itself was not self-sufficient and needed horses from the north to supply supplies.

When the time comes, water and electricity will be cut off. What will happen here 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, and it would be a big mistake to really agree.

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 intention' 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 of them 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 of them 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 weren't for them, why would they..."

Just in the middle of speaking, he noticed that Li Jing's face looked even more ugly, so he immediately stopped talking.

In fact, after driving away the Oriental people, the Nanyang Chinese were very powerful and had great hope of establishing a large country dominated by Chinese.

But facing the returning Yingguo people, most Chinese elites like Li Jing chose to surrender and appease.

As a result, a good situation was wasted.

After disarming himself, he was bullied by the horse people, and he went to the Yingguo people to make decisions, only to be treated with perfunctory contempt.

At that time, Li Jing was among the group of 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. I need to take a rest."

The two people could only leave silently.

But after the door closed, Li Jing didn't 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~"

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.

Logically speaking, Li Jing could not have imagined that seeking a merger with Sarawak would only anger Kuala Lumpur.

When the time comes Kuching cannot do anything to Kuching, so it will use him to vent its anger.

Moreover, across the Karimata Sea, Kuching has no ability to give him any substantial help.

No normal person would do this kind of thing, let alone Li Jing, which would be harmful but useless.

But he came and raised it openly in front of Winnie, which made people think too much.

Du Fei thought carefully and realized more and more that he should have a certain 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 yet.

They could only send out the crow team to keep an eye on it, but they didn't find Li Jing coming into contact with anyone.

After only two days, we took a boat back to Lijiapo.

On the other side, a few days later Pu Zhe led the army to Bandar Seri Bega City to join up with Eagle.

Before arriving, Du Fei specifically told Eagle through the spiritual link to cooperate with Pu Zhe as much as possible.

Therefore, after the two sides met, although each was on guard, they were generally in harmony.

Especially regarding the subsequent 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, only a thousand people were left to guard the city of Sri Bega, with Igor personally guarding it.

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.

Sure enough, as Du Fei had expected, Ed En Shaojiang's marching speed was very slow because he was not willing to send troops.

They are obviously closer, but they arrive first and later.

The two sides collided more than 100 kilometers northwest of Bandar Seri Bega City.

The results were even less surprising.

Aideen Shaojiang's troops were not prepared for battle at all. Rather than coming to capture the city and seize territory, it was more like an armed parade.

When the leading troops from both sides encountered each other, they were blinded by intensive mortar fire.

Pu Zhe is well aware of the benefits of concentrated 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 was all his experience when he attacked Kuching before.

This time it was confirmed again.

Before Ed En Shaojiang could react, the nearly 3,000 men in the vanguard collapsed.

Immediately afterwards, Cui Shanyong led his elite Gaoli soldiers to charge at the broken soldiers, directly throwing the main force of Ed En Shaojiang 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 rain forest.

As the commander-in-chief, Ed Enshaojiang was almost captured. In the end, he escaped with only a few hundred people around him. He was as panic-stricken as a lost dog and fled back along the original route.

Two hours later, Du Fei received the battle report in Kuching City.

Although I had already guessed that I would win, it was unexpected to win so neatly.

After all, the other party also has a force of more than 10,000 people.

The equipment cannot be said to be too bad. After all, they are regular troops.

Unexpectedly, they didn't even survive a head-on firefight for three hours.

Not only Du Fei, but also Pu Zhe didn't expect it.

In his eyes, although the combat effectiveness 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 as victory, but who knew 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 line of defense and retreated to his lair, but he was completely intimidated.

Originally, he left more than 7,000 people in his hometown.

But Aideen didn't dare to gamble, this was already the last bargaining chip in his hand.

With these troops, he is Ed Enchan, without these troops he is still nothing.

Especially this time, all the people he took away had to come back completely, not even a quarter of them were gathered together.

East Kalimantan is originally a loose tribal alliance.

It turns out that Aideen is the strongest and has the highest prestige.

But after this defeat, his prestige was greatly reduced, and the Kutai people in southern Tonga Province were always suppressed by Ed Enshaojiang.

Now that I heard that he was defeated, there were immediate signs that he was ready to make another move.

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 have dominated Tonga.

But in the past, in order to balance the constraints, Yajiada deliberately supported Ed Enshaojiang, which led to the current situation.

Now, Suharto is too busy to take care of himself, and Adern is defeated again.

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 made the Kutai people also think about it.

Faced with this situation, how dare Aideen risk another confrontation with the pursuers behind him.

He simply fled all the way south.

In his opinion, the 8,000 men in his hands could not defeat the enemies behind him. Could it be that they could not defeat the Kutai people!

As for the pursuers behind him, he believed that the poor roads would stop the pursuers in time.

Sure enough, Ed En 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 is naturally generous, it's really beyond his reach. There is no border at all. 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 get it.

When Du Fei left Pontianak to return to China, he originally planned to only transfer in Xiangjiang and then return directly to the capital.

Who knew that when they turned around and came back, they would create such a big mess again.

At this point, you must not give up what you got. Since you have eaten it in your mouth, you must swallow it.

Meanwhile, 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 Master Slater cursed angrily, still unable to vent the anger in his heart.

What was thought to be a sure victory turned into a huge rout.

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? I was fighting life and death not long ago, how could it happen in the blink of an eye...

Start was breathing heavily and his face was livid with anger.

Suddenly, his expression became extremely painful.

He groaned and clutched his chest, enduring the severe pain from his heart, and went to the desk drawer to take 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.

Startler 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.

Experiencing the severe pain 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 drooped his eyelids and 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 support staff installed the phone and left, Start picked up the phone again and dialed.

"Hey, White, I'm Start... No, I'm pretty bad... I told you last time about the oil company... Yes, I need your help, my friend!... Of course, I promise, Ed En is trustworthy, at least he is not that idiot Tut... 5% of the income, of course, we are friends... Transportation? Don't worry about this, I will let Ruan Chunming go..."

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 Start wants to make a last-ditch effort, he must ask White for help.

But help is not just words. Without the benefit of real money, no one will help.

Start is also a courageous person.

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 is no turning back when he shoots. He has already taken action before. If it makes a mess of feathers, whether the 2% can be saved is another matter.

A few days later.

Located in Burungan County, Tonga Province, the outpost troops stationed here under Park Zhe suddenly encountered a fierce counterattack by the enemy.

Ed En Shaojiang led the team to kill a carbine.

Different from the weak combat effectiveness before, the enemy's firepower this time 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 people to hide in the southern part of Tonga Province.

Now they suddenly come back. Not only are their weapons and equipment greatly improved, but helicopters are also covering them. It's self-evident what's going on.

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 Stat?"

"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 finishing speaking, 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 that Master Start had made such a big move, transporting weapons to Adern and sending helicopters for cover?

The fact that he remained silent made the point 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.

On the other end of the phone, Bush heard a "bang" 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, probably less than thirty years old, wearing gold-rimmed glasses, and has a kind of 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 isn't it interesting to be able to force such a person to make concessions?"

Bush curled his lips: "I hope it goes 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.

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.

Barbara didn't care and just smiled gracefully.
