Chapter 1170 One Month
Johnson shook his arm around Anthony Brook's shoulder: "Hey, Anthony, don't be like this, be happy, at least you are still the king."
Anthony grinned again, and said dryly, "That...thank you~"
Johnson laughed out loud, then turned to look at Iger next to him: "Look, he thanked us for doing so."
Du Fei also understood the meaning of Johnson through the spiritual link with Eagle, and couldn't help smiling.
At this moment, a soldier trotted in from outside: "Report, Mr. Stanmeier has occupied the radio station, newspaper office, and train station according to the predetermined plan..."
As he announced a place name, Anthony's face turned pale.
Until the soldier finished speaking, he knew it was over.
He and the entire city of Kuching completely fell into Johnson's hands.
Anthony took a deep breath, dispelled the last thought in his heart, and said as calmly as possible: "Johnson, what do you want to do? I can cooperate, and I can do anything, but... please don't hurt my family."
Johnson curled his lips and said, "Family? Is it from here, or the one you hid outside?"
Anthony's face changed, and he became even more frightened: "You...you..."
He didn't expect that Johnson would know his illegitimate son who was hiding outside, and that was his only son so far.
Johnson said: "Don't get excited, we are friends."
Anthony was completely discouraged this time, and he begged: "Please, I can listen to you! Please..."
Johnson laughed loudly: "Then give an order to the frontline troops and let them all retreat to the north bank and accept my command."
Anthony nodded immediately.
In fact, even without Johnson, he is planning to escape these days.
Pu Zhe and Cui Shanyong's attack was too fierce, and the defenders obviously couldn't stand it with what they had at hand, and asking for help from Jilongpo was also postponed.
Now that Johnson is here, if he just wants to take over Kuching City, it is actually not unacceptable to him.
He was afraid, and more importantly, he was worried that Johnson would give him a sudden involuntarily.
After all these years 'crazy jj' has long been famous...
At the same time, in Pu Zhe's temporary headquarters.
Hearing the report ahead, Pu Zhe and Cui Shanyong frowned.
"You said, the enemy took the initiative to retreat?" Cui Shanyong confirmed again.
The reporting soldier nodded: "It has now been confirmed that the three troops that exchanged fire with us have retreated to the north bank of the Sarawak River."
Pu Zhe frowned and said, "Where's the front of Li Zaixi? Withdrew too?"
The soldier said: "Report, we have also retreated. According to your previous order, Battalion Commander Li is leading people to pursue. But..."
Pu Zhe frowned: "But what?"
The soldier said: "When the opponent retreated, he blew up the bridge on the main river, and Battalion Commander Li's pursuit was hindered."
Pu Zhe and Cui Shanyong looked at each other, and they both saw each other's doubts.
It stands to reason that if the enemy came to reinforce him, let alone immediately arrange a counterattack, at least he would not run away~
Reminiscent of the sudden sound of gunfire on the north bank, Pu Zhe was even more certain that something unexpected happened on the other side.
But it's hard to say for the time being what the specific situation is.
After thinking for a while, he said, "Tell Li Zaixi to stop chasing, defend on the spot, and wait until dawn."
The soldier who reported went out and turned to look at Cui Shanyong again: "Old Cui, what do you think?"
Cui Shanyong pondered for a while and said, "Internal strife! Those international mercenaries are not easy to handle. The burst of gunfire just now is probably because they took advantage of the emptiness behind the enemy and took the opportunity to take down the palace in Kuching."
Pu Zhe frowned and said, "The dove occupies the magpie's nest?"
Cui Shanyong nodded.
Pu Zhe covered his face in a gloomy manner, and kept thinking in his mind.
With the intervention of a new force, the situation in Kuching and Sarawak will undoubtedly become more complicated.
Before, because of the enemy's fighting power, he had a feeling that he could be destroyed with more than 3000 people in his hands.
Now it is time to clear the mind.
Pu Zhe believes that those mercenaries of the Slater family are definitely not as good as their own fighters.
But just based on equipment, training level, and combat experience, it is impossible to be the kind of rubbish of the local defenders in Kuching.
The most important thing is that we are outnumbered and the situation is unknown.
The purpose of Pu Zhe's coming out this time is to fight the war secondly. To train the team and select talents is his purpose.
Therefore, these people brought out by him are quite precious. It is meaningless to fight hard and fight desperately. The victory piled up with human lives is meaningless...
next morning.
Du Fei opened his eyes and got up from the hotel bed.
Last night, Johnson occupied the palace and borrowed Anthony's mouth to order the frontline Kuching defenders to retreat, and the fighting in the city stopped.
There were only a few sporadic gunshots in the second half of the night.
Formed a situation of governance across the river, with Pu Zhe and Cui Shanyong in the south and Johnson in the north.
However, due to the strength of the two sides, the situation is not stable.
After all, Kuching is a city with a population of several 10, and a few thousand people can only occupy some important strongholds.
Although Johnson has 2000 more troops, he has to guard against the local defenders in Kuching, which is even more stretched.
Until dawn, the two sides had a tacit understanding and no more fierce fighting broke out.
Du Fei stretched his waist, suddenly there was a rumbling movement from outside.
He got up and went to the window, opened the curtains and looked.
On the flagstone street below, a dark green tank was slowly passing by.
Four or five soldiers in camouflage uniforms were sitting on top of the tank.
Two jeeps with machine guns followed.
Qifu tanks are more than 50 tons.
Slowly driving past, I don't know how many years the stone road has been crushed.
On both sides of the street, the shops on the first floor were closed, and many people upstairs were hiding behind the curtains and looking out timidly.
After a while, the patrolling convoy drove away.
Du Fei withdrew his gaze, took out a cigarette and stuffed it inside, and looked up in the direction of the palace.
In this place, only half of the golden dome can be barely seen.
The lower part of the dome originally belonged to Antony's king's office.
Johnson leaned back in a large gilded chair, with his feet propped up on the luxurious desk in front of him, listening to Steinmeier's report.
Now the entire city of Kuching has been divided into north and south. The two sides have reached a tacit understanding with the Sarawak River as the boundary. There was no exchange of fire after dawn.
In comparison, Johnson's situation seems to be better.
First, he had more troops, and second, after the capture of the palace, Anthony cooperated very well, allowing Johnson's men to take over the command smoothly.
Most of the soldiers didn't know what happened. Some middle and senior officers might have guessed it, but seeing the king's warrant and those vicious mercenaries, they wisely chose to play dumb.
After all, the king has surrendered, what can they do for these migrant workers, really pay for it with death?
What a joke, these people just use money to support their families, let alone a white king.
In this way, an eerie peace was maintained throughout the day in Kuching.
However, Ling Du Fei didn't expect it.
In the evening, Wang Dewang actually brought him an unexpected news.
Johnson actually wanted to talk to him!
It can be said that this news was delivered to Du Fei with twists and turns.
First, Johnson found Zhou Peng through Xiangjiang's relationship.
But Zhou Peng couldn't contact Du Fei directly, so he found Director Liao again.
Director Liao then contacted the comrades in Malay, and finally found Team Leader Gao.
It was Wang Dewang who informed Du Fei.
Du Fei took a note from Wang Dewang and couldn't help frowning.
This is the phone number left by Johnson, asking Du Fei to call him.
Let Wang Dewang go back first.
Du Fei took the note and looked at the phone number on it, then turned to the window again, looking at the half-exposed dome of the palace.
What kind of medicine does this Johnson sell in the gourd?
At this time, even Du Fei, as a time traveler, couldn't control everything.
After standing quietly for a while, Du Fei turned back to the phone, reached out to pick up the receiver, and dialed the number.
"Beep...beep..."
The phone rang twice, and it was picked up over there.
"Mr. Johnson Slater, I'm Du Fei." Du Fei said expressionlessly.
The other side laughed loudly: "Du, hello, just call me Johnson. It's an honor to talk to you."
Du Fei didn't exchange pleasantries, and said straightforwardly, "What can you do with me?"
Johnson said: "Come on, we are not enemies?"
Du Fei smiled playfully: "It's not the style of a nobleman to do the same thing in person. I heard that Your Excellency has often declared that he will kill me to avenge Sol."
Johnson said indifferently: "It's just a scene, don't you always talk about eliminating those damn red necks? In all fairness, do you really think you can do it?"
Du Fei said: "Of course, we Huaxia people never talk empty words."
Johnson choked and couldn't laugh or cry for a while, but he didn't get angry. Instead, he laughed: "Du, I already knew that you are an interesting person. As for Saul, don't care, just talk. If I didn't guess Wrong, that stupid woman Winnie told you, right?"
Du Fei didn't hide anything: "Yes, Ms. Slater asked me to meet in Xiangjiang not long ago."
Johnson snorted and said: "That self-righteous woman can only play tricks, thinking that she is the smartest in the world and everyone else is a fool."
Du Fei didn't answer.
Johnson didn't talk nonsense anymore. After complaining about Winnie, he said in a leisurely manner, "Du, let's not discuss other things. I have a business here. I wonder if you are interested?"
Du Fei's gaze focused, and he asked, "What business?"
Johnson said: "How about an arms deal worth $3000 million?"
Du Fei frowned: "A Yinguo nobleman asked me to buy weapons? Today shouldn't be April 4st~"
Johnson laughed: "Of course it's not April Fool's Day, and I'm not kidding, $3000 million in cash, how about it?"
Du Fei was silent for a moment, thinking quickly about what Johnson meant.
Do you really want to buy equipment, or is there some other conspiracy?Or is it a plan to slow down the troops?
But if it was a conspiracy or a tactic to delay the attack, what was his purpose?
Now Johnson has successfully occupied half of Kuching City and captured the original king.
As long as he continues to use the banner of the king and slowly push back the Ge Ming army in the south, there will be enough time to digest the territory of Sarawak.
As for equipment supplies, Du Fei didn't believe he had no other channels.
You know, not far from here is Yuenan, and a little leakage from the US military logistics department over there is enough.
And South Vietnam, as long as he has money, even Lou Hongyi can produce more than 100 sets of red-eye air defense missiles.
But Johnson wants to discuss business with Du Fei...
However, Du Fei didn't take it too seriously, there was no reason not to make money from the money delivered to his door.
After the two sides talked about some more things, they finally put down the phone.
Du Fei couldn't help but came to the window again to look in the direction of the palace.
Through the conversation just now, it can be determined that Johnson must have been restricted in some way.
Only then did he find Du Fei because he could not obtain weapons and equipment from the usual channels.
Because what I said briefly just now, Johnson is quite sincere.
It is very clear what to buy, and there is no haggling about the price.
The only request is that Du Fei can contact Ge Mingjun in Pontianak.
After thinking for a while, Du Fei simply called Wang Dewang and walked south from the hotel.
The water surface of the Sarawak River is very wide. Because of the limited manpower on both sides, the defense of the river bank is not tight, and only a few important bridgeheads have left defenders.
So Du Fei and Wang Dewang crossed the river by boat without much effort.
Find a nearby Ge Mingjun stronghold, there are people who can speak Chinese, and soon Pu Zhe received the news of Du Fei's coming.
Pu Zhe and Cui Shanyong were a little surprised, they didn't expect Du Fei to be here.
Before Du Fei returned to Kalimantan under the pseudonym Huang Minzhong, he did not notify them.
When he came to the temporary headquarters, Pu Zhe immediately asked what was going on.
He knew that Du Fei would come back secretly, and he would never target him indiscriminately.
Du Fei talked about the situation at hand.
Finally, when it came to Johnson's attitude, Pu Zhe and Cui Shanyong frowned.
The main reason is that Yingguo people have been shit sticks for hundreds of years, and their reputation... can only be said in words.
Pu Zhe said: "Old Du, what kind of medicine do you think is sold in this Johnson's gourd?"
"It's really hard to say." Du Fei shook his head slowly, then asked again: "By the way, how is the situation on your side?"
Pu Zhe said: "The four counties close to us should be able to occupy them. The others... It's hard to say. After all, they are too close to Kuching, and the other party can't give up."
Du Fei nodded, at least Pu Zhe's mind was clear and he was not dazzled by the victory.
At the same time, Pu Zhe showed Du Fei the second telegram sent by Lin Tiansheng last night.
Du Fei asked, "What are your plans..."
Pu Zhe was a little helpless.
Originally, he planned to have a touch with the other party before talking, but he didn't expect that Johnson's mine guard team and mercenaries didn't move forward at all.
In this case, once he takes the initiative to cross the river, he must concentrate on a few bridges that have not been destroyed.
At that time, it will inevitably be exposed to enemy fire.
Although Pu Zhe had a high spirit, he would not let his subordinates die in vain.
"Withdraw~"
Pu Zhe finally squeezed out a word between his teeth.
But he didn't lose in this battle.
There are several banks on the south bank of Kuching City, as well as many factories and warehouses.
Now that I have come this time, it is impossible to leave empty-handed.
Take everything you can...
On the other side, inside the royal palace in Kuching City.
After talking to Du Fei just now, Johnson put down the phone, his smile restrained, and he breathed a sigh of relief.
In fact, he was far less determined and relaxed than he seemed.
Lin Tiansheng and Pu Zhe overestimated the combat effectiveness of the Kuching defenders, and Johnson also did not expect them to be so hip.
It was thought that the Kuching defenders could at least keep Ge Ming's army on the outskirts of the city.
Unexpectedly, when he occupied the palace and captured Anthony and his gang, the entire south bank of the Sarawak River was lost.
This is not good news for him.
Occupying Kuching City is only the first step of his plan.
A city cannot satisfy his appetite, what he wants is the entire Kingdom of Sarawak.
Therefore, after completing the first step of the plan, it must spread outward as quickly as possible.
Otherwise, if Kuala Lumpur reacts, or Lun Dun intervenes, it will be a big trouble.
After all, it was originally a colony of the Ingo people.
Later, it was also the Yinggo people who forcibly kneaded the Malay Peninsula and Sarawak into one country.
Johnson's plan obviously runs counter to the ideas of those big men in Lun Dun.
He has to make quick work of the established facts to get the tacit approval of some people.
Otherwise, no matter how much he eats now, he will have to spit it out in the future.
That's why, he was in a hurry to contact Du Fei, because he didn't want to waste time entangled with Pontianak.
He even did not hesitate to throw out a $3000 million weapon order.
It is hoped that through Du Fei's influence, a reconciliation can be reached as soon as possible, and troops will be freed up.
Johnson couldn't help but look at the calendar card on the table.
The date in March above was drawn in eleven circles with a red pen.
The Marquis Ikazel of the House of Lords promised to help him for a month.
During this month, no matter what he does in Kalimantan, he will not be obstructed or reprimanded by Lun Dun.
And on the calendar, the date marked with the first red circle is the day when Du Fei met Winnie...
Just at this time, Steinmeier came in from the outside and said meticulously: "My lord, 10 minutes ago, those who stayed on the south bank reported that the Pontianak army was gathering and retreating..."
A few hours earlier, Anthony had invoked the power of the king and appointed Johnson as prime minister of the Kingdom of Sarawak.
Although Johnson can still order these people under him for the time being, plus a few officials from the Anthony faction.
But in name at least, he has become the number two man in Sarawak after Anthony.
Johnson laughed and said, "It seems that our friends are moving very fast~" After finishing speaking, he looked at Igor: "Igor, you are ready to set off tomorrow morning at the latest, and bring your mercenary group to the city as quickly as possible. Arrive at Seri Begawan in the east. If you encounter resistance on the road, you will be shot to death!"
Igor was expressionless, and bowed to promise.
Although it would be more beneficial for Du Fei if he stayed by Johnson's side, he had no excuse or reason to refuse.
In this case, he can only follow orders.
Satisfied, Johnson stood up and patted Igor on the shoulder: "It's up to you this time! Don't let me down."
"Yes, my lord~" Igor bowed again...
At the same time, far away in Xiangjiang.
Inside the hotel suite where Winnie stayed.
Winnie, who just came back from the gym, was about to take a shower, but received a call.
His face darkened in an instant, and then he cursed without hesitation: "Damn it, at this moment you told me that there was something wrong with the plane!...I won't listen to any explanation, Mr. Mortis...I don't care what you think, the plane must Take off on time! Otherwise... I swear on the honor of the Slater family, the bodies of you and your family will be floating on the waters of Victoria Bay tomorrow morning. Believe me, sir!"
