Rebirth of the Flying Era

Chapter 1362 You have been more careful lately

The Nanyang Conference lasted three days in Bangkok and ended victoriously.

The meeting drew up a series of drafts and elected Gu Dan as the chairman of the Nanyang Economic and Trade Alliance.

In an instant, in Siam, first the death of Thanong of the Junzheng Mansion, followed by the death of the king, caused a great uproar.

This time, they were all suppressed by the news of this 'union meeting'.

This attracted the attention of the Siamese people, who had never enjoyed such treatment.

Make alliances with the world and dominate one side.

Ordinary people don't care about what's going on behind this matter. They only see that they are the hosts and several leaders of the Guo family are here. This is their influence.

And in the end, Gu Dan represented Siam and became the first chairman of the Economic and Trade Alliance. This is international status.

Gu Dan's reputation among the people has suddenly changed. Many people who said he was a rebellious official changed their tune.

Although he originally stood neutral, he also developed a tendency of goodwill.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Gu Dan resolutely declared that the previous dynasty was immoral and should be ended. He complied with the people's will, ascended the throne and established a new dynasty.

As soon as the news came out, before ordinary people could react, the American Museum of History took the lead in announcing that it recognized Gu Dan's legal status.

This operation caught even America's traditional allies by surprise, and they did not have time to follow up immediately.

On the contrary, several parties that had just joined the Nanyang Economic and Trade Alliance immediately followed up, announced that they recognized the new dynasty of Siam, and congratulated Gu Dan.

A discerning person will know at a glance that this is all agreed upon.

In Siam, in addition to those who originally belonged to the Thanon and Ku Dan factions, the Progressive Party in the north also immediately announced its recognition of the Ku Dan palace.

In return, Gu Dan gave them full autonomy, which was only a name away from independence.

Suddenly, everyone gets what they want.

However, by this time Du Fei had already boarded the plane back home.

Even though there are a lot of things going on during this trip, it actually doesn't last long, less than three months.

Du Fei caused great disturbance outside, and when he got back on the plane, he felt a little uneasy.

Because the final result was so different from what he told Dad Zhu when he came out.

He came out originally to solve the problem of the cargo ship being intercepted in Syria, but in the end, the king was changed in Siam.

They also openly created a prototype of the Nanyang Prestige Force and the Nanyang Alliance. This was all the result of Du Fei's impromptu initiative.

Although the report was reported several times via telegram, due to poor communication, it was not fully explained.

Du Fei sat on the plane and looked out the side window. Next to him was the outline of the capital.

It's already past the Beginning of Autumn, and the capital is getting cooler in the morning and evening, but it's even hotter during the day.

From the plane, you can see many construction sites in the urban area of ​​Beijing where buildings are being built.

Further away, there is a large factory area. Among them, the tallest factory is the Beijing Aircraft Manufacturing Factory, and next to it is the 8270 Factory.

After a while, the plane arrived at Beijing Aircraft Factory and landed on the runway.

Dufy came down the gangway.

Upon learning that he was back, several leaders from the Beijing Aircraft Factory came to greet him.

Everyone was acquaintances, and after a brief exchange of greetings, Du Fei turned his attention to the tarmac not far away.

Parked there was a large aircraft painted with yellow anti-rust paint.

It also uses two coaxial counter-rotating turboprop engines, but what is different from the Y-8 is that the wings of this aircraft are in the middle of the fuselage, making it closer to a traditional passenger aircraft.

Judging from the appearance of the aircraft, it is the previously identified Y-K-8.

This low-cost regional passenger aircraft improved from the Y-8 is exactly what Du Fei planned for the aircraft manufacturer, and it will be a star model in terms of volume in the future.

When he left before, the prototype manufacturing had not been completed, but now it has entered the testing stage.

Compared with the Q-8, which looks like a military transport aircraft, this Y-K-8 looks more slender and elegant, with a re-optimized fuselage, a row of aisles in the middle, and three seats on each side. It can accommodate up to 140 people and has a range of more than 8000 kilometers.

It is said to be a regional airliner, but in terms of passenger capacity and range, it is not inferior to ordinary mainline airliners at all.

The only drawback is that it uses a turboprop engine and its speed is not as fast as that of a jetliner.

Du Fei couldn't help but be overjoyed when he saw it: "The prototypes are out!"

Factory Director Wang smiled and said: "It has been a month and three rounds of testing have been carried out. It went very smoothly."

Du Fei nodded, this is not surprising. Although the appearance is relatively different from that of the Yun-8, in fact, this K-8 passenger plane is still a Yun-8, and it is a shrunken version.

The Y-8 has a load capacity of [-] tons and a take-off weight of over [-] tons.

After being converted into a passenger aircraft, the take-off weight has been significantly reduced by more than ten tons, which is enough for the aircraft to reserve more lift and fill with more fuel. The range exceeds that of the Y-8 and reaches [-] kilometers.

Factory Director Wang invited Du Fei to come over and take a look, but Du Fei waved his hand, now is not the time.

Zhu's father knew that he was back, and he must go over immediately to report the situation. There was no time to watch the plane here.

No matter when it comes, you must have a correct attitude, otherwise you will be slapped with no place to complain.

Du Fei was not a young man who raised his tail when he had some achievements. He immediately withdrew his gaze and said: "Next time, send me a car first."

Factory Manager Wang understood what Du Fei meant. He just made the suggestion casually and did not really want Du Fei to stay.

After all, Du Fei is the leader, and it is definitely inappropriate for a subordinate to be indifferent if he shows interest in something.

After coming out of the aircraft factory, Du Fei cheered up and took the car directly to Zhu's father's office, but was turned down.

Guard Xiao Zhang said with a smile: "The chief is in a meeting, please wait a moment."

Du Fei knew that Dad Zhu might not really be in the meeting, so he responded with a smile, took out a cigarette from his pocket, handed one to the guard, and called out: "Brother Zhang~"

Dad Zhu has several security guards, but the most useful one around him is Xiao Zhang.

He is said to be Xiao Zhang, but in fact he is quite old, already over 30, seven or eight years older than Du Fei. Before liberation, he joined the army and followed Dad Zhu when he was more than ten years old.

Xiao Zhang said hey: "Don't dare to smoke during working hours." He still took it from Du Fei and put it in his pocket.

Du Fei simply stopped smoking. He wasn't that big of a smoker and asked, "My dad is in good health lately, right? You keep an eye on him more and don't let him stay up late."

Xiao Zhang smiled bitterly: "You make it easy, even Aunt Han can't say it. If I dare to talk too much, I'm going to get angry, right? But the chief is still in good health and gets regular check-ups."

After finishing speaking, Xiao Zhang suddenly remembered something and said: "I won't tell you anymore, I have something else to do, so just stay here by yourself~"

After saying that, he winked at Du Fei.

Du Fei understood and couldn't help but smile.

Since you have to let him go, it doesn't matter if someone chats with him. You must leave him alone with confused thoughts, worrying about gains and losses, and being restless. That only makes sense.

Du Fei didn't care, and after Xiao Zhang left, he simply sat down on the stone table and stone bench in the courtyard, and with a thought, he took out a cigar from Dad Zhu's from his pocket.

With a "pop" sound, I lit the lighter and toasted it for a while before lighting it slowly, crossing my legs and taking a puff.

At this moment, by coincidence, Zhou Zhennan walked in from outside and was startled when he saw Du Fei.

Du Fei also saw the other party, stood up quickly, and called "Uncle Zhou" with a smile.

Zhou Zhennan walked over and asked, "When did you come back?"

Du Fei said: "I just got off the plane, come here to see my dad, he is having a meeting inside~"

Zhou Zhennan reacted quickly and immediately understood what was going on. He couldn't help but glance at the cigar in Du Fei's hand: "You kid, I told you to wait here, just wait, and you smoked it."

Du Fei said hey, "Would you like to take a sip too? Authentic Cuban cigarettes, from my dad's study."

Zhou Zhennan was speechless: "You can do it yourself, I have other things to do~"

After saying that, he entered Dad Zhu's office, where Dad Zhu was working at his desk. He raised his head and glanced: "Lao Zhou is here, wait for me for one minute."

After speaking, he quickly sorted out the work at hand, then stood up and came out from behind the desk.

Zhou Zhennan rushed to the outside and said, "What kind of incident is this?"

Dad Zhu understood that he was referring to Du Fei in the courtyard, and he snorted and said: "This kid is getting more and more bold. This time he went to Nanyang to solve the problem of pirates. See what he did in the end? He actually killed his king, who does he think he is? Ban Chao, Wang Xuance?"

The corners of Zhou Zhennan's mouth twitched, and it was hard to tell whether Dad Zhu's words were a compliment or a compliment.

They are all better than Ban Chao and Wang Xuance, which is not meant to be derogatory.

After everything was done, Dad Zhu asked, "What is he doing in the courtyard?"

Zhou Zhennan's expression became even weirder, and he said vaguely, "I'm smoking."

Dad Zhu said "hmm" and then talked about business with Zhou Zhennan, but Zhou Zhennan estimated that the word "smoking" that Dad Zhu understood was definitely not the way Du Fei was smoking a cigar with his legs crossed.

However, Zhou Zhennan really had serious business and was too lazy to get involved in their son-in-law's troubles. He asked: "I said, since the project we cooperated with America has produced results, why haven't we mass-produced it? Shenyang Fei Factory The comrades over there reported that the performance of the comprehensively improved J-8 has been greatly improved, and the comprehensive combat effectiveness has tripled the original..."

After hearing what he said, Dad Zhu frowned and said, "Old Zhou, didn't we just allocate money last month to purchase 20 aircraft?" Zhou Zhennan slapped his thigh and said, "What are 20 aircraft for?"

Dad Zhu said: "Then how much do you want?"

Zhou Zhennan said seriously: "200! At least 200."

Dad Zhu shook his head and said: "This is impossible. There will definitely be no more additional funds this year. Don't forget that you just applied for a fund in the first half of the year to equip H-7 tactical bombers."

Zhou Zhennan is also helpless. In fact, he also knows that he has spent a lot of money this year, but the problem is that the air force has too many shortcomings, especially fighter jets.

……

After some negotiations, Zhou Zhennan didn’t spend much money in the end.

Du Fei was not called in until he left. More than 40 minutes had passed since he arrived.

As soon as Du Fei entered the room, he chuckled and said, "Dad, I heard from Brother Zhang that you often stay up late at work recently, so you should pay attention to your health~"

Dad Zhu glanced at him with no expression on his face and said, "Sit down~"

Du Fei responded and sat on the sofa.

Dad Zhu sat on the single seat next to him and stared at Du Fei with burning eyes.

Du Fei didn't have any stage fright. He sat with his back straight and his eyes firm.

A few seconds later, Dad Zhu said: "Xiao Fei, with your perspective and overall view, it is impossible not to know the meaning of doing these things in Nanyang this time. What are you thinking?"

Faced with this problem, Du Fei did not avoid it.

In fact, he imagined several scenarios for meeting Zhu's father on the way back, but he never expected that Zhu's father would be so straightforward.

Du Fei took a deep breath and ignored him. It didn't matter what language he used. What mattered was his stance and attitude.

He said sternly: "Dad, we are the only two here, so I will be blunt. I want to leave a way out for myself and our family."

Dad Zhu raised his eyebrows, a cold light flashed in his eyes: "The way out?"

Most people would be frightened when Dad Zhu looked at him like this, but Du Fei did not change his expression and continued: "It may not be the way back, it may be the way forward, but~it doesn't matter whether it is the way back or the way forward. , this road is necessary to be safe, it is good for me, you and Xiaoting."

Dad Zhu frowned. With his political wisdom, he certainly understood what Du Fei meant. He couldn't help but look deeply at the son-in-law in front of him.

If Du Fei had said such rebellious words ten years ago, he would have been furious.

But now, things are different.

It is now 1973, and he is almost 60 years old.

No matter how great a person is, he cannot stop the pace of time.

Furthermore, the direction has changed, and America can become friends, so what else is impossible?

Dad Zhu was silent, keeping his gaze on Du Fei, but did not ask any further questions.

Then he took out a cigarette from his pocket, lit it by himself, took a deep breath, and then said slowly: "I hope you are right~"

Du Fei somewhat understood how Dad Zhu was feeling at this time. There were some things that many people, including Dad Zhu, were unwilling to face.

But what is coming will always come.

Du Fei remained silent.

Dad Zhu took a puff of cigarette and said with a complicated expression: "I never thought that we could one day cooperate with America. I wonder what those comrades who sacrificed their lives would think?"

Du Fei said: "Dad, it is precisely because of the bloodshed and sacrifice of our ancestors that we are qualified to stand upright today. Otherwise... I am afraid we won't even be qualified to bargain."

Dad Zhu was silent again...

After coming out of Dad Zhu's place, Du Fei felt a little emotional.

After returning home, Zhu Ting felt even heavier and it was not convenient for her to go to work, so she stayed at home.

However, my second pregnancy was much more experienced and I wasn’t as nervous as the last time.

I said hello in advance and said I would be back today.

As an old married couple, Zhu Ting was not too surprised to see Du Fei. She then talked about the situation in Zhu's father's office just now, which made Zhu Ting a little worried and reminded: "Xiao Fei, there have been some rumors recently that are not good."

Du Fei's heart moved. Although he made a bit of noise outside this time, there must be other reasons for Zhu's father's attitude.

Sure enough, Zhu Ting said: "Many people said privately that you and Lin Tiansheng are going to do something else in Nanyang."

Du Fei frowned.

The wording of "do something else" is quite interesting. What else?A set of what?It can’t just be a set of pancakes and fruits.

This so-called rumor cannot be groundless. As for who it is aimed at.

Du Fei thought that the portion was not so big.

Du Fei thought for a while, waved his hand and said, "It's okay. The stronger I am outside, the safer our family will be."

Zhu Ting was not Zhengzhi Xiaobai, so she understood what Du Fei meant, took his hand and said "hmm": "Anyway, please be careful."

Du Fei held Zhu Ting with his backhand and kissed her on the forehead.

……

The next day, Du Fei returned to the unit.

Du Fei disappeared for several months from time to time, and everyone was used to it.

But when I first came back, there was still a lot of work backlogged, and I was busy all morning just with the documents that needed to be signed.

Most of these things are re-signed, and Du Fei does not have his own operating mechanism in the fire equipment company.

Even so, the words are not signed casually, and the materials for each signature must be read again.

It wasn't until almost eleven o'clock that Du Fei took a deep breath and moved his shoulders.

But at this moment, Shen Jianing came in from outside and said with a smile: "Hey, we are finally done."

Obviously he knew the process of Du Fei's return and had calculated the time.

Du Fei raised his head: "Sister Jianing~"

Du Fei was stunned when he saw Shen Jianing's dress.

What Shen Jianing wore today was really a bit too revealing. Although it was autumn, the weather was very hot. Shen Jianing was wearing a blue dress that was exposed to the base of her arms.

The skirt was just above the knee, revealing two sections of white straight calves, and on her feet were a pair of exposed high heels.

Shen Jianing is beautiful and tall, so she is most suitable for wearing this kind of skirt.

Two or three years ago, this kind of skirt would never have been worn, and if you did wear it, you would definitely be criticized.

But now, with the textile and clothing group's various "export-to-domestic sales" clothes, women's clothing of this style and color is no longer rare.

Especially after Nico's visit, the dressing style changed.

Shen Jianing said generously: "It's just a coincidence for you that today the first residential building over twenty floors built by our family in Beijing was completed and the ribbon was cut."

Du Fei was stunned. He vaguely remembered that Shen Jianing had mentioned it to him before, and he had also seen the design drawings. The roof was made of glazed tiles, which was completely different from the high-rise residences in his impression.

But how long did it take before the first building was completed?
But then I thought about it and realized that this was to be in time for the National Day.

It was completed at this time, just in time for housing allocation during the National Day.

When Du Fei asked, Shen Jianing really thought so, and said with a smile: "As you said last time, the first batch of people to live in the elevator room will be selected from model workers, scientists, and soldiers, and they will move in directly with their bags."

Du Fei responded, but he didn't quite remember when he said it, but Shen Jianing mentioned it, which should be correct.

Shen Jianing is responsible for the construction company anyway, so she can do whatever she likes.

And it’s easier to publicize this kind of news.

Du Fei said: "Director Jiang won't go to the ribbon cutting?"

Shen Jianing said: "She will go when the apartments are allocated during the National Day. This time it is completed." He glared: "What, you don't want to go yet?"

Du Fei quickly denied: "How can I? This is a good thing, I can't ask for it~"

Shen Jianing glared at him: "Then let's be more casual, it's almost eleven o'clock to wait for you."

The building is not far from their unit, and it takes more than ten minutes to get there by car.

The two got into the company's Hongqi car, driven by Shen Jianing's driver, a very capable female soldier.

Du Fei and Shen Jianing were sitting in the back seat.

As soon as the car started driving, Shen Jianing suddenly said: "You should be more careful lately~"
