Chapter 1312
This time Vincent became nervous again.
This time, there are no flowery people who are flattering and underestimating, mainly Yingguo people.
In order to please the new master who is about to take office, many people choose to draw a clear line with the Dai Zhilin family, and even deliberately create difficulties to disgust people.
Vincent had tolerated it originally. After all, the situation was stronger than the people. Wilson was so powerful that his family couldn't afford to offend him.
There is simply no need to compete with these people who act according to the circumstances, as it will lower your own status in vain.
Besides, we have to leave anyway, so there is no point even if we fight over each other.
No one expected that what was originally a sure thing would take such a dramatic turn, and Baron Wilson would die!
How did he die!
Logically speaking, the punishment is not as good as that of a doctor, and the courtesy is not as good as that of a common man.
In political struggles, assassination is rarely used directly. Once this method is used, there are several possibilities.
Either you are jumping over the wall in a hurry, or you don't want to waste more time, and you can avoid the opponent's backlash after taking action.
Of course, Du Fei cannot be regarded as jumping over the wall in a hurry. Although the situation this time is somewhat urgent, it does not endanger Du Fei's fundamental interests.
To say the least, even if his plan failed, he would only have lost the opportunity to enter the Straits Condominium Committee.
Although it is a pity, it is not a huge loss.
Moreover, in Du Fei's original plan, he did not plan to directly kill Lewis Shaojiang, which would probably make these people seriously ill.
As long as no one is killed, it won't irritate the opponent too much.
But later, because Vincent contacted the big shot of Huandun, who made a request as a partner, Du Fei changed his mind after careful consideration.
Therefore, Baron Wilson was picked up by him. Anyway, if one kills two, he will die, and the other party will be responsible for eliminating the impact.
Of course, there is another possibility, that is, the big shot goes back on his promise, changes hands and takes advantage of Du Fei, and then takes advantage of him.
Du Fei was also prepared for this situation.
This probability is very small. The other party knows Du Fei's heel, and ordinary means cannot shake Du Fei's foundation at all.
At this time, the housekeeper suddenly knocked on the door from outside and came in: "Sir, Colonel Fei Wen called to see you."
Dai Zhilin leaned on the sofa and pushed his eyes. The sunlight outside the window reflected on the lenses.
Vincent snorted coldly and sneered: "This guy's reaction is quite fast."
Colonel Fewwin, one of the most popular people who danced before, was once a high school classmate of Baron Wilson.
The two had hooked up early, thinking that when Baron Wilson arrived, he would be able to make great achievements.
Unexpectedly, the sweet dream was suddenly shattered. Colonel Fei Wen was caught off guard and very frightened.
Baron Wilson is dead, and Dai Zhilin will continue to act as governor.
Moreover, this temporary replacement has no expiration date. If Luandun does not propose a new candidate, Dai Zhilin will continue to be the temporary replacement.
When the time comes, throwing a pair of small shoes at him will make him extremely uncomfortable.
Vincent stood up with a meaningful smile on his face: "Uncle, I'll go see him."
Dai Zhilin nodded and said calmly: "Don't go too far, don't forget our identities."
Having been uncle and nephew for so many years, Vincent certainly understood the meaning of 'don't go too far'. He smiled, got up and went out.
……
In Yajata, because Du Fei destroyed the Independence Palace earlier, Subian has been working in the original parliament building since he came to power.
He was also stunned when he heard the news from Li Jiapo.
The fleet, which originally had high hopes for foreign aid and would be enough to change the situation in the region, actually collapsed because they ate a bowl of mushroom soup on the way.
It just doesn't make sense!
Subian's face was as dark as water, and he walked around the office with his hands behind his back.
At this time, his situation is still not optimistic. If he loses the support of the British and French fleets, it will be difficult to guarantee that a worse situation will not occur in the next step.
Especially the attitude of local forces in Sumatra.
Although Subian had transferred a lot of benefits to them before, it was only a temporary appeasement.
Subian is strong, so they will naturally stay safe, but Subian's situation is obviously not that good now.
Once Sumatra is lost, the so-called Yajiada Palace will be completely reduced to a local power.
This is why Subian would rather give many benefits to the Yingguo people than invite the fleet to perform.
With the bluffing name of a veteran colonist like Ying Guo, at least we can stabilize the losers in Sumatra.
What he didn't expect was that just after he received reports of collective food poisoning among the fleet's top brass, he received another piece of news.
A meeting minutes leaked out from within Yingguo, which clearly recorded the conversation between Baron Wilson and Master Lewis, including the record of using the excuse of the exercise to forcefully rent Palembang.
As for the source of this news, Du Fei did not conceal his identity this time, which was no longer necessary.
At this point, the heat is almost done, and there is no need to play tricks anymore.
Moreover, Du Fei not only gave this information to Subian, but also to the local forces in Palembang.
Palembang is the most important port and commercial city in Sumatra, and its value is not inferior to Surabaya occupied by the Huang family.
Because the territory is not under Subian's direct control, if he didn't care about public opinion, he would just rent it out.
The question is how could the local forces in Palembang agree.
After receiving the information, he immediately became furious and sent continuous telegrams to question Subian.
Subian was even more passive this time. Facing Lin Tiansheng's threat and pressure, foreign aid might not be available for a while, and his teammates started making trouble again.
I really complied with those words, pressed the gourd and picked up the gourd.
Subian couldn't help but think of Du Fei's life-saving straw again...
At this time, Du Fei, who was in Lijiapo, had just received a secret message from Vincent from Xiangjiang.
The telegram contained a lot of content. First, it was to thank Du Fei. As for what to thank, the two of them knew very well.Furthermore, the four destroyers originally agreed upon have been successfully unsealed and can be sent to Kuching by tugboat after a brief inspection.
Du Fei didn't expect Vincent's movements to be so neat.
I thought I would have to wait until he returned before these destroyers could be unsealed.
Moreover, Vincent also said in the telegram that in addition to the four destroyers, there happened to be three good minesweepers, each with a displacement of about [-] tons, and they were also given to Du Fei. These three were not considered expensive.
Du Fei couldn't help but smile, and there was a good thing about buying four and getting three free.
You can get three minesweepers for free, but you don’t want them for free.
This time Du Fei killed Baron Wilson, which was very important to Vincent and his family.
However, this also caused new problems for Du Fei. So many ships came at once, and he had no one to pilot them!
As expected, we have to seek help from China.
This is not a top priority. At this time, Du Fei is still staying in Lijiapo, staring at the temporarily paralyzed fleet, waiting for the queen's reaction.
Du Fei never thought that just one setback could make the queen known as the 'Standby King' retreat.
This woman is not a weak character. In terms of ability, she is not particularly strong but not weak either. It’s just that she didn’t get off to a good start. After the devastation of World War II, Yingguo’s royal power fell away, and it was not easy to maintain the current situation.
It would be naive to think that just killing a few people can change the queen's will.
This involves the highest level of the game between Huandun. Although the big shot of Huandun who cooperates with Du Fei represents a more powerful force, he cannot openly bully the royal family.
Because all British people do not want the second Cromwell to appear. The kind of dictator who has greater power than the king has never been a friend of big capital.
Now the fleet has not received clear orders, indicating that the game is not over yet.
The Queen is likely to send someone again to make a final attempt.
Sure enough, Du Fei's guess was correct. News soon came that Baron Bayer of Wales would replace Young Master Lewis and continue to lead the fleet to Yajiada according to the established plan.
Du Fei just smiled when he heard the news. In his opinion, this was just a fight between the queen and the trapped beast.
In other words, it was a desperate move. At this time, she could not retreat. Although the result was not optimistic, the queen had no choice. She must show a strong and determined will to let some people who are attached to the royal family see hope.
Then there is this fleet, which is the largest British-German fleet patrol in East Asia and Southeast Asia after World War II.
Although they are all old warships, at least they are quite impressive in terms of tonnage and quantity.
As a result, he came out with great fanfare, but was knocked down by a pot of poisonous mushroom soup before he reached his destination. The whole world was laughing.
If it ended there, they would be a complete joke.
It was the Queen's faction's insistence that caused this result. Who will bear this responsibility then?
From this perspective, the fleet's cruise plan cannot be interrupted.
Baron Bayer will fly out in three days. As for the other officers who suffered the disaster, they cannot be replaced for the time being and can only be treated in the hospital, with their respective deputies taking over their duties temporarily.
But Du Fei can no longer take action against Baron Bayer.
Some things should at least appear to be okay on the surface. Both fleet commanders had accidents in Lijiapo, which would only push the Yingguo people to the point where they had to find out the matter, even if they wanted to get over it in a daze.
Du Fei couldn't take things to that point. Once he did that, he would reach a dead end and put himself in a prison.
The method is also very simple. Just attack their people last time and attack their ship this time.
After all, is it reasonable for a classic ship that has been in service for more than 20 years to suddenly have a boiler explosion during a long voyage?
By the way, provide a step so that the Yingguo people can withdraw the fleet.
Besides, something happened to Young Master Lewis, so Baron Bayer will definitely be extra careful.
Yingguo is the overlord of the previous generation. The great empire that once dominated the world still has some background.
Du Fei was sure that Baron Bayer would be surrounded by experts this time. Although Du Fei was sure that Compassion was stronger, there was no need to go hard and show his cards.Standing next to the south-facing window of the hotel, you can see the masts of the Ampton moored in the port covered with various antennas in the distance.
In line with the tradition of the British Navy, the ships are well maintained.
Especially before this voyage, these ships were carefully selected and carefully inspected to ensure that there would be no problems during navigation.
However, the machine is dead but the people are alive, and there are still many ways to make it go wrong.
At this time, there was a knock on Du Fei's door.
Du Fei knew who was coming from outside through his vision and said "Come in".
Ma Sangu came in from outside.
Du Fei didn't look back, still looking out the window: "Is it done?"
Ma Sangu said hurriedly: "Please rest assured, the other party is a damage control soldier in the engine room. He gave him two thousand US dollars and some magic tricks."
"Two thousand dollars?" Du Fei repeated with a half-smile.
Although Ma Sangu used illusions, the two thousand dollars were the most important. They were the weapon to break through the psychological defense of the damage control soldier.
This shows that this giant ship with a displacement of up to 15000 tons is only worth two thousand dollars in his heart.
According to Ma Sangu, the damage control soldier on duty in the engine room would tamper with the boiler, causing a serious accident to the cruiser's engine.
Ma Sangu swore that the cruiser's engine room would explode within a few hours at most.
It was obvious that Ma Sangu wanted to show off in front of Du Fei, but unfortunately she was destined to be unable to do so this time.
Du Fei smiled noncommittally.
Because Ma Sangu had been exposed, when Ma Sangu and his wife were doing things, Crow Crow was following and observing them from a distance.
The other party is very strong and very professional.
Ma Sangu and his wife are not professional police cleaners, so they cannot be blamed for being followed.
Du Fei had previously guessed that Baron Bayer would be accompanied by experts when he came this time, but now it seemed that he had underestimated the strength of Yingguo's military clearing department.
As for the cooperation between Du Fei and the big shot Huandun, it belongs to a higher level and cannot be put on the table. People below will not know about it. It is normal to send people to investigate, but the efficiency and strength of the other party are a bit strong.
Du Fei estimated that this person was probably performing other tasks and happened to be near Lijiapo, so he was temporarily transferred here.
Sure enough, a few hours later, in Du Fei's room, he saw black smoke rising from behind the mast of the fleet flagship Apton on the harbor in the distance.
It showed that the battleship's boilers were operating normally, and the whistle was sounded a few minutes later.
There was no expression on Du Fei's face, which showed that Ma Sangu and his wife's arrangement had completely failed.
At this moment, the phone in the house rang.
Du Fei walked over to pick it up, and heard the voice from the hotel front desk: "Hello distinguished guest, you have a visitor..."
Du Fei raised his eyebrows. The other party was obviously prepared and called his name at the front desk.
The other party had discovered Ma Sangu a few hours ago and did not come immediately. Instead, he waited until now, probably waiting for intelligence feedback.
"Let him come up~" Du Fei smiled playfully. According to the investigation of the crow team deployed outside the hotel, there was only one person on the other side, and there were no manpower outside. It was obviously a man of skill and daring.
Du Fei is surrounded by the giant Buddha of Compassion, so of course there is no need to be afraid, as he happens to know this person.
A moment later, a handsome man over 1.8 meters tall in a suit and leather shoes came to Du Fei's room.
When Du Fei saw this person, a flash of surprise flashed in his eyes, just like when he saw Lei Luo. This person looked too much like an actor named Sean Connor before he traveled through time.
He is quite handsome by a white man's standards, in his 30s, with sharp eyes and an extraordinary bearing.
However, when this person walked into the room and saw Ci Xin sitting cross-legged on the sofa for the first time, his pupils suddenly shrank, his body stiffened slightly, and he instinctively felt a huge threat.
In contrast, Ci Xin was not moved at all. He just glanced out of the corner of his eye and then looked away. He continued to meditate with his eyes closed as if no one else was watching.
The difference in strength and level between the two is clear at a glance.
According to Du Fei's judgment, the strength of the man in front of him was probably similar to that of Zhao Yuchun back then, and slightly stronger than Eagle.
The presence of loving-kindness exceeded the other party's expectations, and he turned from full of confidence to cautious.
Du Fei also sat on the sofa, pointed to the seat next to him, and said "please sit down".
The visitor frowned and stood at the door without moving.
Du Fei smiled and picked up the red wine placed in the ice bucket next to him, poured two glasses into the wine glass next to him, picked up a glass by himself, and raised it to the visitor: "Don't be nervous, I'm not here for this. Fight and kill.”
The visitor only hesitated for a moment, walked over, sat on the sofa, picked up another glass of wine and said "three grams of oil".
Du Fei nodded and asked, "What do you call it?"
"Bang~" the man replied: "James Bond."
Du Fei raised his eyebrows and his expression became more playful: "Bang's~ Zero and Seven from the Sixth Office?"
James's heart froze, and he tried to control his expression, but he still couldn't help showing shock. The man in front of him actually revealed his past.
Du Fei remained calm, but felt deeply in his heart that this was really him.
But it's not important. Du Fei chuckled and said, "What does Mr. James want from me? Do you want to ask if I did what happened to the Ampton?"
James was surprised. He didn't expect Du Fei to directly point out the matter. He was obviously confident and couldn't help but said with a serious expression: "It's really you!"
Du Fei nodded and said bluntly: "Shouldn't we use their most common method to deal with a pirate family? I learned this from you, just like you couldn't make profits from the porcelain and tea trade back then. Then he turned to selling dental tablets..." As he spoke, Du Fei pursed his lips slightly and shook his head, mockingly: "For civilized people wearing suits now, this is really a shameful history~"
James was speechless. He considered himself a gentleman and was well aware of that period of history: "I can only say that I am very sorry, but this poisoning incident was also done by you, right~"
To James' surprise, Du Fei denied it this time: "Don't say such nonsense. It was just an accident. The chef made the wrong mushroom. What does it have to do with me? This is recognized by your Foreign Education Department."
James was silent.
Du Fei continued: "Besides, why should I deal with your fleet? What benefits do I have? Are you afraid that you will have another tooth war? Mister James, this is not 1840."
James thought that Du Fei indeed had no motive, and objectively speaking, these broken ships really did not make Huaguo nervous.
"Mist James, we are not enemies." Du Fei crossed his legs contentedly and took a sip of red wine: "It's not me who wants to destroy your fleet, but your own people. I, a foreigner, just act in the spirit of Internationalist spirit, just doing a little favor for a friend..."
James' brows narrowed into the Chinese character "Chuan", and when he heard Du Fei say the last name, his pupils shrank instantly.
That was a big shot that even his immediate boss wanted to fawn over, a man who stood at the top of London's Big Ben.
James is a smart man, and in his position, he knows many secrets that ordinary people don't know.
As soon as he heard Du Fei's words and thought about the situation in their country, he immediately guessed everything.
The faction to which that big shot belongs is wrestling with the queen, and the struggle between the two sides over the fleet sent to Southeast Asia is likely to determine the political structure of Huandun in the next few years or even more than ten years.
Du Fei sat on the sofa and watched relaxedly.
Until James Bond looked at him again and said calmly: "So, don't stop me, that makes no sense. Everything I do now is not destroying but helping you. This fleet can only go as far as Get here, otherwise this fight will escalate, and one of your gentlemen, or Her Majesty the Queen, is likely to die. You must know better than me what the consequences of that will be."
At this point, Du Fei chuckled: "Of course, personally, I am very pleased with this result."
James pursed his lips tightly, realizing the seriousness of this matter.
This was far beyond his control.
He is an agent who is very powerful and can complete many seemingly impossible tasks.
But that was just a task. His superiors clearly gave him a goal, and he just had to simply carry it out.
Instead of being involved in this high-level line dispute like now.
James' face turned even more ugly, and he was keenly aware of the seriousness of this matter.
Although the words just now were exaggerated by Du Fei, one thing Du Fei was right about was that if this fleet was allowed to arrive smoothly, it would greatly stimulate the ambition and determination of the royalists.They will use tougher and more violent methods to gain more power. The strength of the royal family and the queen will grow, and their attitude will become tougher.
At that time, the current political ecology and structure of Luandun will be completely broken.
No one can predict what the final outcome will be once this happens.
At this moment, James suddenly regretted why he had to stop the damage control soldier before.
If he hadn't intervened, the cruiser USS Apton's boiler would have exploded and it would lie down in the harbor without causing any casualties.
And the whole thing will become simple.
There are enough reasons to cancel this expedition.
He is from Yingguo, but he is not loyal to the queen, but to the Guo family.
Times have changed and the Queen should stay where she belongs.
Instead of going against the trend and reversing history.
But now that it’s all over, what should we do next?
However, while he was struggling, Du Fei looked outside the window.
In the distant port, after the Apton started its boiler normally, a huge muffled sound suddenly came from another heavy cruiser of the same model next to it.
With a bang, the huge hull shook, followed immediately by a harsh damage control alarm.
The sailors who were originally very leisurely on the ship or on the shore immediately became nervous, but they had different reactions. Some rushed towards the warship, and some immediately ran away from the port.
The former plans to return to combat duty immediately to deal with possible enemy attacks.
The latter realized that if it were an enemy attack, warships would be the biggest targets. Now, the farther away from the warships, the safer they would be.
(Double monthly pass at the end of the month, please support one, this month will update 20 words, next month the target will be 25!)
