Rebirth of the Flying Era

As the news of the compensation agreement with Dongyang spread back to the country, the people suddenly rejoiced.

This is undoubtedly a great victory. It is not just a compensation, but marks the end of an era.

Since 1840, land has been ceded again and again to pay compensation.

Although it has won several key wars in recent years, it has not received a penny in compensation.

Until this time, I finally saw the money back!

Although the mere billions of dollars are incomparable to the losses caused by the Japanese devils who have been wreaking havoc on the land of flowers and fruits for decades, this is indeed a landmark event.

From then on, those tough-talking old people and young people in Japan could no longer say such nonsense as "losing to Ami but not losing to flowers and fruits".

What is even more encouraging is that our soldiers stood on the soil of the East and spiritually washed away a century of humiliation.

Although this is far from enough in Du Fei's opinion, it is already the best result that can be achieved at present.

If you want to get more, the current flower power is not enough.

On that day, a grand celebration was held from day to night.

Even the old people who were old and in poor health made an exception and drank a few more drinks that night.

At the same time, Zahuang was far away in Hokkaido.

Nagano Toban and Yamada Kenjiro also received news that Huaguo had reached an agreement with Toyo.

The two of them didn't react much.

At this time, Hokkaido has entered winter. Because of the humid climate, it snowed heavily early.

The two of them, dressed in traditional clothes, sat under the porch, with a small table in the middle and wine warming on a clay stove.

"Nagano-kun, you feel bad~" Yamada Kenjiro picked up the wine bottle and filled the two glasses.

Nagano Toban has indeed matured. He looked at the snow-capped mountains in the distance and said calmly: "It's a result that was expected a long time ago. There's nothing unpleasant about it." After saying that, he withdrew his gaze and looked at Yamada Kenjiro: "Does Yamada-kun think that now we have the ability to be independent?" conditions of?"

Yamada Kenjiro smiled bitterly and drank a glass of wine by himself: "Yeah~ after all, we are still too weak. But I didn't expect those people in Tokyo would agree to such harsh conditions. It's really..."

Nagano Toban said: "They are all living puppets. The value of flowers and fruits to America now is much greater than that of Tokyo."

Yamada Kenjiro was silent, his mood was very complicated.

Although he was happy to see Tokyo in ruins, he felt uncomfortable about paying compensation to the garrison.

But objectively speaking, this result is good news for Hokkaido.

Only the closer Huaguo and America are, the greater the value of Hokkaido to Moscow, and they can receive more assistance.

On the other hand, Pingyang in North Gaoli.

When Pu Zhe heard the news, he was inspecting the farm with his father.

Thanks to the cheap energy obtained from Sulian, Beigaoli has realized agricultural modernization early, and its grain output has been good in recent years.

In addition, Du Fei's line from Nanyang to Eastern Europe was transited here, and he reaped another wave of dividends, and the situation was excellent.

But after receiving the news, Park's father frowned and sighed: "We have finally come to this point."

Pu Zhe frowned. He understood that this was not just a matter between Huaguo and Dongyang, but the most important thing was actually America behind the scenes.

Reaching this agreement marks that Hua Mei has moved from testing each other to a new stage.

America took out the real money, and Huaguo will definitely treat her with sincerity in the next step.

As for how to treat each other with sincerity, everyone knows it well.

Huaguo and America were old enemies, but now they can get together thanks to Su Lian's help.

Beigaoli is sandwiched between the two sides, so I'm afraid it will be difficult.

Pu Zhe thought for a moment and suggested, "Father, how about I go find Du Fei and talk about the situation there?"

Father Pu thought for a while and nodded slowly. Now he really needed to confirm Huaguo's attitude.

Although in the general direction, Hua Mei is definitely teaming up to deal with Su Lian, but there are many considerations in how to deal with it.

Is it a direct conflict or an indirect conflict, a head-on confrontation or a soft knife stabbing someone.

At the same time, Hanoi, a city more than 2,800 kilometers southwest of Pyongyang.

In the old colonial governor's palace, Li Zhu looked at the telegram in his hand with a gloomy face.

As a politician with broad vision and ambition, he certainly understands what this means.

In the future, even if he drives America away, he will face more complex and changeable situations.

Last time, after he had a fierce quarrel with Wu Ting, he had taken the opportunity to deprive Wu Ting of his command authority. However, this could not completely resolve their internal differences.

……

As Huaguo and Dongyang reached a final agreement, the two sides began to enter negotiations to normalize relations.

Amid close concern from surrounding areas, the year 1974 came to an end.

A few months have passed in the blink of an eye, and the Spring Festival will be celebrated in a few days.

Du Fei got off work that day and was playing with his children at home after dinner.

Xiao Zhengze already looks like a little adult, and Zhu Tingsheng's second child, whose nickname is Dudu, can now crawl.

At this time, the phone suddenly rang.

Zhu Ting came out of the kitchen after washing the dishes, picked them up, and immediately her expression changed.

"What happened?" Du Fei asked.

Zhu Ting said: "There's an earthquake! Liao Province, level seven~"

Du Fei's heart froze, and he suddenly remembered the famous earthquake that killed more than 200,000 people.

It took me the next moment to realize that neither the time nor the place matched.

Du Fei immediately stood up and took the phone: "Okay, I'll arrange it right away... No problem... We can take off at any time..."

The call was to Du Fei, hoping to dispatch some transport planes for disaster relief.

It just so happened that the aircraft manufacturer had a batch of Y-8 transport aircraft and ten gunships that had not yet been delivered.

Du Fei quickly got dressed. In this situation, he definitely couldn't sit at home. It was a matter of attitude.

What's more, people's phone calls come to home.

Du Fei kissed Zhu Ting: "Wait at home, I'll go over and take a look."

The happy promise I made on the phone just now must not be compromised. No one except Du Fei dared to make the decision regarding the aircraft manufacturing.

Du Fei called a car and rushed straight to the plane.

Before I came out just now, I had already called the factory and immediately asked the workers after get off work to come back and resume work urgently.

By the time Du Fei arrived, the aircraft factory was already brightly lit.

The normally closed doors were open, and trucks drove in, transporting relief supplies.

In addition, there are also pilots dispatched urgently.

The aircraft manufacturer has a total of 8 Y-15 transport aircraft and 10 gunships.

Together with a total of twenty planes drawn from the army, they can arrive at the disaster area within forty minutes after taking off.

Du Fei frowned as he looked at the people who were busy loading relief supplies to the plane, always feeling that something was missing.

Suddenly he thought: "Director Wang!"

Wang Changyou was nearby and responded immediately.

Du Fei shouted: "Searchlight! There's an earthquake. The water and electricity will definitely be cut off. It's going to be dark. How can we save people without any light?"

Wang Changyou slapped his forehead. He was also confused. This was the first time he encountered this situation. He had just answered the phone and had not recovered yet. He quickly said: "I'll ask someone to install it right now."

Du Fei said: "The transport plane can leave first, and the gunship will stay to install the searchlight."

In the disaster-stricken area of ​​Liao Province, the earthquake occurred at around seven o'clock. It is now almost nine o'clock.

Because of the power outage, the entire disaster area was dark, with only a few places where flashlights gave off weak light.

Fortunately, scientists made predictions before the earthquake, and provincial leaders issued a ‘disaster avoidance’ order.

When a strong earthquake occurs, most people are relatively safe.

This is also the only instance in the world where an earthquake was accurately predicted before an earthquake and disaster avoidance orders were issued, effectively reducing casualties.

But at this time, the disaster area was still in a mess, and most of the city was in ruins.

Although the nearby troops mobilized quickly to carry out rescue operations, they lacked experience and equipment and acted in vain. The efficiency can be imagined.

At this time, there was a sudden "chunk" movement from the south.

A fleet of more than a dozen Y-8 transport aircraft arrived, and they had been contacted in advance.

Although the nearby airport was severely damaged, immediate repairs were carried out to meet the requirements for the Y-8 to take off and land.

Not far ahead, after radio contact, searchlights were turned on on both sides of the airport's runway to guide the plane to land.

About ten minutes after this batch of planes passed, there was another movement.

This time, the planes did not go to the airport, but spread out and circled over the earthquake area.

At the next moment, almost at the same time, dozens of dazzling white light beams pierced the dark night sky. The heavy machine guns originally installed on both sides of the gunship were all replaced by high-power searchlights. It seemed that there were more than twenty little suns in the sky in an instant. .

After the earthquake, the ruins on the ground were clearly visible under searchlights.

Looking down from above, there are few intact houses to be found.

……

Early the next morning, Du Fei stayed at the aircraft factory all night. He did not sleep for a while until after four o'clock in the morning, and woke up again at dawn.

After a night of rescue, the situation in the earthquake area was reported back.

Although the magnitude of the earthquake was very high and the destructive power was very strong, due to advance prediction and mobilization of evacuation, the number of direct deaths was not too many.

Preliminary estimates put it at several thousand people.

Compared to an earthquake of this magnitude, and occurring in a densely populated industrial area, the number of casualties is likely to exceed 100,000 if there is no advance forecast.

Du Fei washed his face and sat in the office thinking about the even bigger disaster next year.

Even he could not prevent this kind of natural disaster, he could only minimize the losses.

Imitating this experience may have some effect.

Thinking of this, Du Fei couldn't help but let out a long sigh. He could only do his best and obey fate.

The follow-up disaster relief went very smoothly. Although the earthquake damage was not small, the number of dead was really not many. According to the final count, there were only more than 2,000 people.

Another two months passed.

In April, Principal Chang died of illness.

This matter originally had nothing to do with Du Fei, but he didn't expect that just a few days later, he received a letter.

The letter was sent by Ms. Yu from America.

In addition to some pleasantries, thanks to Du Fei's previous help, her property has been unfrozen.

Then she mentioned rescuing her husband again.

Du Fei mentioned it last time. It was not the right time at that time, and Principal Chang had to be away in order to make a fuss.

Now a few months have passed, and Principal Chang is gone.

Not only that, Ms. Yu once again increased the stakes. As long as her husband could be released, in addition to the previously promised reward of 30 million US dollars, she was also willing to give out a large number of precious antiques. In short, she wanted to save people at any cost.

Du Fei felt a little emotional after reading the letter.

That Zhang Jiangjun was so virtuous and capable that he could marry such a woman.

But aside from these factors, how to deal with this matter needs to be carefully considered.

Furthermore, Yizhou is still having a funeral, so it would be bad if someone comes to seek bad luck at this time and becomes angry out of humiliation.

A month later, after spending May Day in the capital, Du Fei left for Xiangjiang.

Previously, because of the so-called "carnation" outbreak in Portugal, Portugal voluntarily gave up all its overseas territories, including Omen.

It is different from the world before Du Fei traveled through.

Before Du Fei traveled through time, he did not directly take back Omen due to some objective reasons, but now that the economic and political environment is good, there is no reason to shut out his children anymore.

After more than half a year of handover, Omen has now restored its sovereignty.

However, the local lifestyle has not changed much and is called a "special municipality".

With this precedent, the adjacent Xiangjiang is greatly shocked.

Some people in Xiangjiang have always been resistant and have a kind of taken-for-granted fear.

Coupled with the deliberate vilification propaganda of the British people, this fear has been strengthened.

Until this time, after seeing the situation in Omen, many people's worries were relieved.

If we can follow the example and become a special municipality, it seems to be very good.

At least you don't have to be second class.

Du Fei went there this time because he was ordered to see the real situation in Xiangjiang and to find out the real thoughts of people in the business community.

No one else can do this, only Du Fei can do it.

However, the first person Du Fei met when he came to Xiangjiang was not someone from the big families in Xiangjiang, but another old friend.

It’s still that tea restaurant.

Time seems to have left no mark here, and it is still the same after two or three years.

Zhou Peng's appearance changed, and his hair was obviously much thinner. When he saw Du Fei, he laughed loudly and gave him another bear hug: "Brother, I miss you so much!"

Du Fei also smiled and patted his back.

After hugging, the two sat down. Zhou Peng looked at Du Fei: "You are still the same, you haven't changed~ I am not the same, my hair is falling out in handfuls."

Du Fei said: "Don't stay up too hard at night, or you won't even think about it in two years."

Zhou Peng didn't care either. The two of them talked to each other and reminisced about old times while eating.

But at this moment, another person came up from downstairs.

Zhou Peng had sharp eyes and immediately waved: "Old Zheng, where is this~"

Du Fei also discovered that this person was Zheng Maoqing!

Since establishing a relationship with Zheng Maoqing through the 'Qian Jin Mi Jing Wan', Du Fei has not met the other party many times and has mainly contacted him through Zhou Peng.

Zheng Maoqing had a smile on his face, and a flash of surprise flashed across his face when he saw Du Fei.

He didn't know in advance that Du Fei would come, but he came anyway.

What's more, the place was arranged by Zhou Peng, so there must be no problem with safety.

But he had a hunch that Du Fei's visit to him in person this time was definitely not a good thing.
