Rebirth of the Flying Era

Chapter 1308 Take your place

Ever since Lin Tiansheng came to Nanyang, his money has been tight.

Originally, West Kalimantan was not a wealthy place, but Pontianak had some accumulation and could be considered a big city.

But he couldn't stand it and was raided by the guerrillas led by Jiang Dingsheng in advance.

Except for Pontianak, other places are agricultural areas. If you grow cash crops such as sugar cane and tobacco leaves, you can earn a lot of money.

Then there are some minerals. Kalimantan has a lot of mineral resources, but mining requires upfront investment.

Lin Tiansheng's current situation is that he has no money at all. If he wants to introduce foreign capital, foreign capital is still afraid to come.

But it would definitely not work if Du Fei was given all the money for migrant population.

This plan was very important in Lin Tiansheng's heart. If he owed a favor because of this, the favor would be too big.

Lin Tiansheng has also grown up in the past two years, and has long become a qualified political leader. He will not naively think that friendship can offset everything.

It's also impossible for Du Fei to owe him such a big favor.

Grads rise and rice rise and rice grudges are fought. Sometimes it is troublesome to owe too much and not be able to pay back.

Although Du Fei felt that Lin Tiansheng was not that kind of person, he did not want to test human nature.

So after saying that I would be responsible for all the expenses, I also made a request.

"Old Lin, I'll help you with this, and you can also do me a favor."

Lin Tiansheng asked what he was doing.

Du Fei immediately expressed his appeal: "If you go back and show your attitude, you'd better publicize it in a big way. If you want to send troops to Java Island, you'd better show your attitude of cooperating with the Huang family and fight to Yajiada together..."

Listening to Du Fei's words, Lin Tiansheng immediately realized Du Fei's intention.

This is to force Subian to find Du Fei as peacemaker.

According to the current situation, Subian used his excellent ability to stabilize the situation and took over most of the chassis left by his uncle.

But his dominance and prestige are incomparable to Suharto's, and his control over these chassis is very weak.

In order to stabilize the local power in Sumatra, many interests had to be given away, which made Subian even weaker.

Under this situation, Subian did not have the conditions to fight a large-scale war, whether it was manpower or weapons and ammunition.

Therefore, once Lin Tiansheng opened his stance, Subian's only choice was to try his best to avoid conflicts.

As long as there is no war, he will not fail.

In Nanyang, Subian wanted to find a mediator between him and Lin Tiansheng, and Du Fei was undoubtedly the best candidate.

Of course, the mediation cannot be in vain. It would be reasonable to give Du Fei some reward at that time.

And it is this 'reward' that Du Fei wants.

Du Fei and Lin Tiansheng did not hide anything, and directly stated the situation of the three parties' joint management of the Malacca Strait.

His own purpose was also revealed: "Old Lin, my purpose is very simple. This strait will be very important to us and the country in the future, and it must not be excluded from the circle. I want to change the three parties into the four parties, and I must win the Riau Islands , becoming a strait littoral state.”

Lin Tiansheng couldn't help but show a surprised expression. He didn't expect Du Fei to have such an arrangement.

He couldn't help but admire Du Fei's overall view. Before Du Fei said this, he had never thought of these connections.

It was just an oil issue, and he felt that Du Fei was a little unfounded.

It's not that Lin Tiansheng is short-sighted. In fact, there is really no shortage of oil in the country now.

In the past, Huaguo was indeed known as an oil-poor country, but with the discovery of a series of large oil fields after the founding of the People's Republic of China, our oil production is increasing rapidly, ranking around ten in the world. Not only does it not need to import, but it is also exporting in large quantities.

In addition, Du Fei's Song State is close to the South China Sea continental shelf and has considerable oil reserves.

Lin Tiansheng doesn't believe that he will rely on oil from the Middle East in the future.

But since Du Fei said this, he had no intention of being serious. Besides, putting this issue aside, Du Fei's idea of ​​joining the Straits Co-management Committee was definitely strategically correct.

And Du Fei has always been known for his long-term and precise vision. The best example was Li Yuanchao.

Without this seemingly useless move at first, there would be no last year's sudden and smooth victory.

It is even less possible to completely resolve the threat from the southwest.

Now Du Fei is eyeing Malacca again, and he should be playing casual chess again.

Of course Lin Tiansheng would not refuse. This method of playing free chess does not need to be effective every time. If there are ten chess pieces dropped, if one can be used, it will be a success.

Moreover, according to Du Fei's description, he didn't need to invest many resources, it was just a bluff to put pressure on Subian.

This would offset part of Du Fei's efforts in relocating the population, which was definitely not a loss for Lin Tiansheng, so he agreed immediately.

With this matter confirmed, Du Fei's main goal of this trip has been achieved.

Then the two talked about the situation of the Lin family in Nanyang.

Du Fei leaned on the rattan sofa, looked at the stars in the night sky, and asked: "Old Lin, what are you going to do to those people? Are you going to continue to let them go?"

Lin Tiansheng's eyes flashed with murderous intent, and he said solemnly: "Sometimes I really can't figure out what these people are thinking. They are afraid of the colonists, think they have guns in their hands, and have a deep-seated fear of white people. But if it were us, it would be a different story. Could it be that someone like me, Lin, can’t kill someone with his gun?”

Du Fei could feel that Lin Tiansheng had been suppressing his anger.

Asked: "Do you need help? No need to dirty our hands, I have foreign mercenaries over there."

Lin Tiansheng was silent for a moment, and seemed to be moved, but finally shook his head: "Forget it, why should I cherish feathers? From the day I left the capital, I was no longer the Lin Tiansheng of the past. Sometimes we are just too humble and reasonable. It makes some people feel weak and can be bullied."

At this point, Lin Tiansheng's eyes became firmer: "It's time to change this impression. At least in Nanyang, someone has to stand up and bear the infamy for a lifetime in exchange for dignity and peace for future generations. I... Do your part!”

Du Fei looked over in surprise, not expecting Lin Tiansheng to have such an awareness.

Meeting Du Fei's gaze, Lin Tiansheng was calm and determined.

Du Fei pursed his lips and said, "It's indeed time to make some changes." He took a deep breath and said, "Since some people think that modesty and elegance can be bullied, let them see what thunder means! "

……

That night, Du Fei was tipsy, but Lin Tiansheng was rarely drunk.

He asked someone to send Lin Tiansheng back, and Du Fei also returned to his residence.

The east wing of Du Fei's residence is a three-story antique building.

Du Fei's entourage was also there.

However, as soon as I lay down after returning home, an uninvited guest came.

"Leader, a man named Jiang Dingsheng is looking for you~" Liu Kuangfu knocked on the door and said outside.

When Du Fei came over this time, he was surprised to find that Liu Kuangfu had infiltrated the palace guard. He had previously served as an errand under Wei Chenggong.

This trip required a 30-man guard, so Du Fei simply called him on board to learn more about the situation on the way.

Du Fei brought a lot of people over at first, but what happened after they came over?

Du Fei had never paid much attention to him before, including the two generals Liu Kuangfu and Yang Zhigang.

Du Fei knew that when he got here, no matter what the situation was at home, there would definitely be people who could eat well and others who wouldn't be able to adapt to it.

Those who can adapt will definitely be promoted. After all, it is an old relationship.

There's nothing you can do about it if you can't adapt. Who gave you a chance and you're useless~

Among them, the more savvy and enterprising ones, like Yang Zhigang and Liu Kuangfu, immediately learned the language when they arrived, including English and the Min dialect commonly used by local flower people.

There are also those who are short-sighted and get dazzled by the indulgent and colorful world when they go outside, and plunge into wine and sex. Du Fei doesn't need to care about them.

We are all adults and are responsible for our own choices.

When Du Fei heard that it was Jiang Dingsheng, he immediately asked Liu Kuangfu to bring him.

A moment later, Jiang Dingsheng walked in from outside wearing casual clothes. He was much fatter than when he was a guerrilla.

"Comrade Lao Jiang!" Du Fei stepped forward and held Jiang Dingsheng's hand.

Jiang Dingsheng was a sensible man. After Lin Tiansheng came to power, he quickly retreated. He had already handed over his military power and took up a position in the government.

This is also Jiang Dingsheng's brilliance, and he must be constantly disturbed by it.

When Lin Tiansheng was at his weakest, Jiang Dingsheng's retreat helped Lin Tiansheng a lot. Now Lin Tiansheng has returned the favor and given Jiang Dingsheng enough respect.

"Comrade Du Fei! I've finally got you here." Jiang Dingsheng held Du Fei's hands with a bitter and embarrassed expression on his face.

Du Fei immediately understood the reason for his visit, which was probably about the Lin family's affairs in Nanyang.

Sure enough, after sitting down and chatting for a while, Jiang Dingsheng got down to the topic: "You are reminiscing with the commander-in-chief today. You should know about the commander-in-chief's assassination a while ago, right?"

Du Fei nodded and expressed his understanding: "Lao Jiang, seeing what you mean, what else is going on with this matter?"

Jiang Dingsheng smiled bitterly: "There are indeed some situations..."

Du Fei finally understood after listening to his explanation.

It turns out that the Lin family found Jiang Dingsheng not long ago, saying that there was a bastard in the family, and secretly assassinated Lin Tiansheng.

The Lin family conducted self-examination and self-correction and found this person and were willing to hand it over to Lin Tiansheng.

Unexpectedly, Lin Tiansheng refused to recognize him and killed the person who assassinated him. He was a local native and had nothing to do with the Nanyang Lin family.

As for the people handed over by the Lin family, Lin Tiansheng did not agree. He insisted that it was a misunderstanding. They were all brothers in the family and would never do such a thing.

This time the Nanyang Lin family was in trouble.

Lin Tiansheng's words not only did not make them relieved, but made them even more nervous.

They thought that handing over just one person could smooth things over, but now it seems that Lin Tiansheng doesn't accept this trick at all.

Only then did the Lin family find Jiang Dingsheng, hoping to persuade Lin Tiansheng through Jiang Dingsheng.

Jiang Dingsheng is not stupid. Can he be persuaded to do this?

You wanted to kill someone, but the assassination failed. Now you want me to be the peacemaker, which is totally unreasonable.

But helplessly, the Nanyang Lin family held too much weight in West Kalimantan. After much deliberation, Jiang Dingsheng decided to try his luck with Du Fei.

After all, Du Fei was different from him. Strictly speaking, Du Fei was Lin Tiansheng's friend, while he was Lin Tiansheng's subordinate.

After Du Fei heard what he said, he smiled playfully: "Lao Jiang, we are old friends. I don't know what the Lin family promised you, but you'd better leave this matter alone."

Jiang Dingsheng quickly confessed: "No, you know that I don't have much ambition. Now the commander-in-chief is talented and powerful, a hundred times better than me. I will just sit back and do my own thing well. I will never talk to anyone." Hook up."

Du Fei smiled and did not comment on Jiang Dingsheng's statement.

Du Fei didn't believe that Jiang Dingsheng would be so active without getting any benefits, and it was not like he was able to help Song Gongming in time.

Moreover, Jiang Dingsheng saw very clearly that Lin Tiansheng would not let it go, but he still came to Du Fei to try.

It was obvious that the Nanyang Lin family had given him benefits that he could not refuse.Du Fei didn't know what it was specifically, and he didn't want to know.

But it was destined that Jiang Dingsheng's visit tonight would be in vain, and Du Fei would not be able to speak for him.

It was even more impossible to persuade Lin Tiansheng.

Du Fei laughed and said: "Lao Jiang, if you don't talk about this, we haven't seen each other for two years~"

When Jiang Dingsheng heard this, he understood Du Fei's attitude.

He is a sensible person. Since Du Fei made it clear that he did not want to talk about this matter, he simply shut up and talked about old times.

Du Fei didn't send Jiang Dingsheng out until he stayed for more than half an hour.

Jiang Dingsheng suddenly said: "I heard that Kuching is developing very well, and I have been planning to go there for an inspection. You just happened to be here. When you go back, we will welcome you all the way, right?"

Du Fei smiled and said: "This is great, I welcome you a hundred times."

Knowing that Jiang Dingsheng couldn't afford to offend him, he planned to take this opportunity to hide away for peace and quiet.

After agreeing to leave together, Du Fei couldn't help but feel a little emotional as he sent Jiang Dingsheng away.

When I met Jiang Dingsheng for the first time, he was a down-and-out guerrilla leader with a rather reckless air, and he was straightforward in his words and actions.

Unexpectedly, it took only two or three years for him to transform into a sophisticated and serious person.

The environment changes people in a really big way!

Du Fei could feel that Jiang Dingsheng had changed a lot.

Three days later, Du Fei set off to leave Pontianak.

Accompanying him was a seven-member inspection team headed by Jiang Dingsheng.

It was a bit cloudy this morning, and the seagulls on the edge of the harbor flew very low on the sea, with their wings skimming the water from time to time.

Low air pressure makes the air extra humid and muggy.

On the ship, Du Fei and Jiang Dingsheng stood side by side, waving to the people below to see them off.

Lin Tiansheng didn't come today. He had more important things to do.

The day after Du Fei left, a conflict suddenly broke out in the southern part of Lin Tiansheng's control area.

Local guerrillas attacked a convoy of the Nanyang Lin family.

Sitting in the motorcade was an important figure in the Nanyang Lin family who secretly opposed Lin Tiansheng. Together with the motorcade, more than 60 people were killed.

Lin Tiansheng was "livid" when he heard the news. He immediately entered a state of emergency, mobilized troops, wiped out the enemies, and issued a warning to Yajata not to support the rebels in West Kalimantan.

Immediately, Lin Tiansheng personally supervised the division to investigate the murderer of the attack on the Lin family's convoy in Nanyang, and at the same time mobilized large forces southward.

Du Fei had already returned to Kuching at this time, and it was already a few hours after he received the news.

Du Fei couldn't help but smile. He knew that Lin Tiansheng had already started.

Although this time it was nominally to investigate the attack on Lin's family in Nanyang, it was actually a drunkard's intention.

Just to find a reason to mobilize the troops.

As for who the knife will eventually hit when raised, it all depends on Lin Tiansheng's will.

Another day passed, and Du Fei received information again.

Lin Tiansheng set out from Pontianak and arrived at the southernmost part of Kalimantan Island according to his agreement with Du Fei. He directly announced to the outside world that the attack was apparently carried out by local indigenous people, but behind it was Yajiada's report. What the ministry does.

Lin Tiansheng issued a statement, sternly warning Subian that this kind of behavior is absolutely unacceptable, warning Subian not to blindly provoke, and claimed to fight to Java Island.

Du Fei couldn't help but smile when he learned the situation.

He didn't expect that Lin Tiansheng combined two things into one thing and directly used this as an excuse to threaten Subian.

By the way, the Lin family in Nanyang was suspicious.

It stands to reason that when this happens, the Lin family in Nanyang is suspicious of a dark ghost, and they must immediately suspect Lin Tiansheng.

But now that Lin Tiansheng has put the blame on Subian, they are confused again.

Subian did have a motive against them.

At least for now, the Nanyang Lim family remains the cornerstone of Lim's rule in West Kalimantan.

In Subian, far away in Jakarta, people were sitting at home while pots came from the sky.

Before he could figure out what was going on, he was accused of being blamed, which made him confused.

But he suddenly realized, is Lin Tiansheng really going to extend his tentacles to Java?

Subian wasn't sure.

It can be said that Lin Tiansheng's current situation is more than enough to maintain its status and not enough to expand, and does not have the conditions for outward expansion.

The problem is that Lin Tiansheng is not alone, and no one can ignore his background.

In the case of opaque information, Subian was not sure what the capital was thinking. If he wanted to continue to develop to Nanyang and open a breakthrough here, Lin Tiansheng's actions would be reasonable.

Subian did not dare to underestimate Lin Tiansheng's warning, and immediately raised his vigilance and quickly contacted the Huang family who occupied West Java.

The current situation in Subian is very embarrassing. The only country he can really control is East Java. Although Sumatra has surrendered, he has paid too much for it, leaving him stretched.

Subian must keep the last bargaining chip at hand.

As for the Huang family, they also have a basis for cooperation with him.

Although the Huang family was originally supported by Du Fei, the Huang family has its own interests.

After uniting several large families to control East Java, the Huang family has transformed from a feudal capital family into a warlord.

At this time, they occupied a large number of production factors through wealth and force.

After tasting this sweetness, they are more eager than ever to control their territory.

Because of this, they, like Subian, do not want Lin Tiansheng to get involved.

They were not sure what strategy Lin Tiansheng would take when he arrived.

There is a high probability that they will not be allowed to continue to control their current territory.

Under this circumstance, the Huang family and Subian hit it off.

This made Subian feel a little relieved. At least Lin Tiansheng was going to fight through it. Without the Huang family as a springboard, Lin Tiansheng alone would not have the ability to fight across the sea.

……

Hundreds of kilometers away, just as Lin Tiansheng was stirring up trouble, Wei Chenggong and Ma Dongmei on Batam Island also started to stir up trouble.

One night, a local man was beaten seriously by a white drunkard from outside.

This was nothing at first, but with Wei Chenggong's promotion, it soon became news.

The economy has been bad in the past few years, India has been in turmoil, and life has become increasingly difficult.

Even if the war did not affect Batam, it still tightened people's hearts.

This incident was like a fuse, triggering a strong backlash on the island and asking for an explanation from the person in charge of the island.

But the problem is that the murderer disappeared long after the attack.

Although the island's security team promised that the murderer would be caught, people did not want to believe it and hoped that more senior officials would intervene.

But the problem is, Lin Tiansheng is making a fuss over Yajiada now, so there is no time to take care of the little things here.

Faced with this situation, the person in charge of Batam Island was helpless. He could only continue to persuade, but did not make any real progress, allowing the situation to continue to deteriorate.

His behavior was seen as perfunctory in the eyes of local residents.

Coupled with Ma Dongmei's little tricks, the situation in Batam inevitably went out of control.

This morning, a security guard who had just received a thousand dollars the night before discharged his gun due to 'excessive nervousness' while on duty.

Precisely that night, a kind-hearted 'mysterious man' provided the angry locals with a dozen old rifles and hundreds of rounds of ammunition.

By the next day, as expected, a gunfight broke out near Batam's city hall.

The local area reported the emergency to Yajiada again, but still did not receive an effective response.

Lin Tiansheng's army gathered on the north side of the Java Sea, like a sword hanging over Subian's head.

In comparison, this little thing in Batam is nothing.

Moreover, in the past two years, after Suharto's death, similar situations have become too common.

There are thousands of islands in the Yinni area. Even in its heyday, it was impossible to control them all. They were unified in name only.

Now that Suharto is dead, Subian's prestige is not enough, and the situation in Kalimantan has caused many people to imitate him, which makes the whole place even worse.

Another half month later, due to Yajiada's slow response, Wei Chenggong and Ma Dongmei successfully launched a guerrilla force in Batam.

They wanted money and guns, and they aroused people's hearts and developed extremely rapidly.

In less than half a month, it spread to several important islands in the Riau Islands.

They also raised the banner of the Free Army and officially shouted the slogan to break away from Jakarta and join the Malay Federation.

……

It was past seven in the morning.

Jilongpo is very hot in June.

In a luxurious office in a huge green-domed building sits the most powerful man in Malay.

The old man with gray temples wore a black flat cap and had a strange expression on his face.

In front of him was a middle-aged man wearing glasses, standing upright opposite the desk.

The old man looked over and said, "Mahathir, tell me what's going on?"

The middle-aged man looked calm: "Your Excellency, this is the news I just received today. I don't know the more specific situation yet. If I hadn't just inquired with the intelligence department, he shouldn't be one of ours."

The old man frowned, thought for a moment and said, "Let's suppress the matter first and don't reveal it. We'll take a look at it later."

An organization they had never heard of suddenly appeared and announced that the Riau Islands would join Malay. This really confused them.

Just to be on the safe side, you must put it away first.

However, what they didn't expect was that as soon as the old man finished speaking, a young man with a hurried look knocked on the door and came in, putting the morning's newspaper on the desk.
