Rebirth of the Flying Era

Chapter 1526 Changkong

Fire Equipment Company, Du Fei's office.

In order to welcome the Asian Games next year, even during the Chinese New Year, there are still many construction sites in Beijing working overtime.

In winter, civil engineering cannot be carried out when the temperature is below zero, but there are many other jobs that can be done.

The construction company affiliated with the fire equipment company is the main force.

At present, the construction branch headed by Shen Jianing has more than 11,000 formal workers, and the total number of migrant workers directly recruited by other units through other forms, or large and small collective enterprises established, exceeds 35,000.

This migrant worker is not the same as the migrant worker in Du Fei's memory.

According to the current policy, although large and small collectives are not as good as formal state-owned workers, and their wages are much lower, they dare not discount the establishment and welfare benefits they should have.

A migrant worker in a large collective earns 21.5 yuan per month, and a migrant worker in a small collective earns 17.5 yuan per month, which is much better than earning work points by farming in the countryside.

More importantly, working in a construction company, as long as you go to the construction site, you will be provided with food and accommodation.

You wear work clothes and labor protection shoes, and even underwear and toothbrushes are provided. You don’t spend a penny of your salary in a year, and you save it all.

If you dress carefully, you can still leave a set of work clothes.

Basically, as long as you work for a year, you can build three large tiled houses when you go home.

Du Fei was very happy about this situation. At least he thought that such a construction industry, although it did not have the explosive power of a raging fire, was truly healthy.

At this moment, the phone on the table rang.

Du Fei reached out to answer it, and the next moment he frowned and said: "Our missiles... OK, I know... It's not clear over the phone, you come back first."

After hanging up the phone, Du Fei frowned slightly.

The person who called just now was Zhang Wenzhong, who was called to the Foreign Education Department early in the morning.

About half an hour later, Zhang Wenzhong came back from outside and immediately came to Du Fei's office.

"Leader!" Although Zhang Wenzhong was quite energetic, he was too old after all, his hair was all white, and his face was deeply wrinkled. Now he had split most of his work in the fire equipment company, and it was estimated that he would retire completely in one or two years.

"Old Zhang, what's the situation?" Du Fei stood up and called Zhang Wenzhong to sit on the sofa.

Zhang Wenzhong said: "Just now, the comrades from the Foreign Education Department called me over, mainly because of the Anglo-Argentine War..."

Du Fei frowned. Yingguo and Argentina had fought last month. The war did not last long, and objectively speaking, the impact was not great.

In the final analysis, it was a fight between two poor people, one was a phoenix without feathers, and the other was burned out by the economic crisis.

Another reason why Du Fei did not pay attention to this war was that it was really unprofitable.

As an old imperialist country, Yingguo still had some old foundation, and would not easily buy weapons from abroad.

Argentina wanted to buy, but the problem was that inflation was over 500%, and it could not afford to buy, and it could not borrow money.

In short, it was a useless war.

So, Du Fei didn't pay much attention to it from the beginning.

As for using this war to consume Yingguo, he had thought about it.

But after thinking about it, he gave up.

Mainly because Argentina is unreliable. Given their level of corruption, even if they invest some resources, it will be difficult to deliver them in the end, and the purpose of consuming Yingguo will not be achieved at all.

To put it another way, even if Argentina is strong and can really fight the Yingguo expeditionary fleet for 300 rounds in the Falkland Islands, the initiative is still in the hands of Mrs. Zeicher.

At worst, they can just give up the Falkland Islands, which is not a big loss for Yingguo.

After all, in the past few decades, India, the Middle East, Africa, and large tracts of important colonies have been lost, so what is a mere Venus of Malta?

Who knows that when you sit at home, things will come from the sky.

How did he get involved in this war?

Zhang Wenzhong was surprised and said, "Leader, you don't know?"

Du Fei said, "What do you know?"

Zhang Wenzhong said, "Such a big thing! The day before yesterday, Yingguo's Sheffield destroyer was sunk..."

Du Fei blinked his eyes. He knew about this, and he must have known it earlier than Zhang Wenzhong.

At that time, he sighed in his heart. The inertia of history is indeed huge.

This Sheffield destroyer is a Type 42 missile destroyer, a large-scale destroyer, which is very advanced now.

This time, Argentina dispatched air force fighters, refueled in the air, and launched anti-ship missiles from the air to sink it in one fell swoop.

In the world before Du Fei traveled through time, this matter was also known to everyone and was one of the few bright spots in this war.

And the problem lies in this missile.

Zhang Wenzhong said, "The one that sank the Sheffield this time was the one we sold to Argentina two years ago..."

Du Fei couldn't help but blink when he heard it.

There is also this matter? Why didn't he remember it at all? Could it be that he was so big that he couldn't take care of it?

Thinking back carefully, it seems that this is true.

It was handled by Lou Hongyi. There are a total of 60 anti-ship missiles, all of which are improved based on the Styx anti-ship missile.

The new model is named Changkong Missile, which means "eagle strikes the sky".

There are two models, shore-based launch and air-launch, with an effective range of 120 kilometers.

Du Fei was just sighing at the inertia of history, but he didn't expect that in the blink of an eye, the boomerang would hit him.

In the world before he crossed over, the Sheffield was also sunk, but it was the Exocet anti-ship missile of Faguo.

Du Fei recalled and raised his eyebrows: "Sell it, what else can the British want? They are incompetent and were beaten by others, so they come to our funeral to cry."

Zhang Wenzhong followed with a chuckle.

Du Fei rolled his eyes and said: "Such a good advertisement, let's not waste it, immediately invest resources, and let those news media emphasize the specific origin of the missile that sank the Sheffield..."

Zhang Wenzhong's eyes lit up and he quickly flattered.

In fact, he had thought about this a long time ago, and even if Du Fei didn't mention it, he would have brought up the topic.

This incident was just a small episode for Du Fei.

Although it was finally revealed that the Sheffield was sunk by the Changkong anti-ship missile of the Fire Equipment Company, this anti-ship missile cost only a few hundred thousand dollars, but it actually sank an advanced destroyer worth hundreds of millions of dollars, which caused a huge news response for a while, but the World Cup that followed quickly took the spotlight.

The number of participating teams in the World Cup held in Spain this time has increased from 16 to 24.

Huaguo football is still quite ambitious at this time. In the world before Du Fei traveled through time, it was just a little bit away from entering the World Cup, but unfortunately lost to New Zealand in the extra time.

But in this world, Huaguo's momentum has recovered ahead of time, and all kinds of soft and hard strengths have risen with it.

There was no suspense in the preliminaries, and it directly qualified as the first place.

The other qualifying spot was specially obtained by the Science and Technology Committee.

Du Fei was surprised to hear this news last year, even more surprised than the amazing results of the men's basketball team in the Moscow Games two years ago.

After all, in the world before he traveled through time, talking about men's football... It can only be said that it is hard to say.

It was not easy to get into the World Cup in 2002 with the right time, place and people. I thought it was the beginning, but it was actually the peak.

Now it has entered the World Cup as the first place. Even so, according to the grouping rules of the World Cup, it is still ranked fourth and divided into Group D.

The same group includes the Yingguo team, the French Guo team, and the Czechoslovak team.

Du Fei is not a football fan, but after hearing this result, he couldn't help but be curious about how the team will perform in this World Cup.

The football teams of this era are like Huaguo, full of energy and spirit. No matter how strong the enemy is, they are determined to fight to the death.

As for the technical and tactical level, it is roughly at the world's second-class level.

In the end, there was no dramatic miracle. In three games, they lost two and won one, and were unfortunately eliminated.

As expected, Britain and France in the same group advanced together.

But generally speaking, these three games were quite exciting. Although they lost the game, they did not lose face. They fought to the last second on the field, especially causing great trouble to the Yingguo team, and almost lost the game.

And in the end, they defeated Czechoslovakia and won a victory. 、

Du Fei was really surprised when he saw the newspaper in China.

At this moment, he suddenly had an epiphany in his heart.

The men's football team not only entered the World Cup, but also won a game. What a concept!

From the time he traveled to now, it has been 17 years, and he has worked hard and achieved painstakingly.

Today, from the overall situation to the details, it is completely different from the world before he crossed over.

A month later, Beijing welcomed guests from 33 fruit families in Asia.

The first time to host such a large-scale fruit sports meeting made Beijing extremely nervous, and the people of the country were extremely excited.

The sports meeting lasted for half a month, and Huaguo finally won 66 gold medals, 53 silver medals, 55 bronze medals, and a total of 174 medals, leaving the second place Dongyang more than 50 medals.

However, just when the sports meeting ended successfully, a message came from Sulian.

…

In Zhu's father's office, even in summer, with the windows and doors open, the room was still filled with smoke.

Du Fei couldn't help but be surprised when he entered the room. Usually, Zhu's father smoked very moderately, especially as he got older, he rarely smoked more.

He glanced at the ashtray on the coffee table. There were several kinds of cigarette butts in it, and there were others compared to before.

Du Fei called "Dad".

"Hmm~" Dad Zhu responded, pointed to the sofa next to him, and asked Du Fei to sit down.

"Dad, what happened?" Du Fei sat down on the single seat of the sofa, waiting for Dad Zhu's next words.

"Just got the exact news from Moscow, Polezhne is hospitalized again..." Dad Zhu's expression was serious.

Du Fei frowned, not because he was surprised by the news, he knew Polezhne's physical condition.

And if nothing unexpected happens, he will die in the second half of this year, it is normal to have problems now.

In fact, during the previous Anglo-Afghan War, it was reported that Polezhne had suffered a fourth stroke.

Generally speaking, the first stroke is not a big problem, but the second and third strokes are more dangerous, and once the fourth stroke, it is basically over.

Add to that a group of Mongolian doctors from Sulian, and the situation can be imagined.

The most obvious thing is that after May this year, Polezhne has hardly appeared in formal occasions.

The news that Dad Zhu got this time was confirmed through certain channels, and it can be basically confirmed that Polezhne is afraid of dying.

Sulian will face the problem of changing leadership.

No wonder Zhu's father was so nervous.

At present, the relationship between the two sides has been greatly restored, but it is still full of many uncertainties.

Once the leadership changes, these uncertainties are likely to be magnified.

Since its establishment, every handover of Speedlink has been full of conspiracy and betrayal.

At present, Androbo's successor seems to be very stable, but until the last moment, everything is possible.

At least in Du Fei's impression, although Androbo finally took over smoothly, before Polezhne's death, someone actually wanted to use Polezhne's name to try to imitate Beria's sudden attack and get rid of Androbo.

But it failed in the end.

Zhu's father didn't know these situations. Facing such a critical node in history, it is inevitable to be nervous and entangled.

Du Fei said with a serious expression: "It seems that the time has come!"

Zhu's father raised his eyebrows and didn't respond.

What he is most worried about now is accidents.

Whether it is the current Speed ​​Union or the original Tsarist Russian Empire, their struggle is extremely fierce and cruel.

Du Fei said: "Dad, there is no need to be too nervous. Androbo's ability and strength are unquestionable, or... do you have any news?"

Zhu's father also agreed with Du Fei's point of view.

In fact, after the stroke in May, although Polezhne did not give up power, he was actually unable to exercise power.

As deputy and successor, Androbo began to work on the transfer of power.

For a huge entity with more than 20 million square kilometers and hundreds of millions of people, handing over the baton is not a simple matter.

The various aspects involved, various interests, and personnel relations are extremely complex and fragile, and must be handled with caution.

…

After this time, Porezhne never went on the road again until November, when his death was announced to the public.

At this time, the capital had just had the first snow since the beginning of winter this year.

The cold current from Xianbeilia caused the temperature to drop by seven or eight degrees overnight.

In preparation for the sports meeting, a truck loaded with snow removal equipment was working on the main road that had just been renovated last year.

Although it was for external publicity and was somewhat pretentious, the snowplows purchased last year did come in handy in winter.

With such heavy snow, it would take several days to clear it manually, and the snow on the road would be compacted by then.

Instead, a snowplow can be used to clear most of the snow by driving back and forth on the main streets a few times.

Du Fei sat in the car, following a snowplow, preparing to go to the airport.

The death was officially confirmed.

At the same time, Androbo was announced as the head of the funeral committee, confirming the status of the heir.

Given the current relationship with Sulian, it is certain that important figures must be visited for condolences.

That is on the surface, and has nothing to do with Du Fei.

Du Fei's main purpose this time was to find Natasha to understand the deeper situation.

This time, Natasha's grandfather, Old Tokaye's name also appeared on the list of the funeral committee!
