Rebirth of the Flying Era

Chapter 1532 Belongs to the People

The sports meeting held in the capital brought another result, that is, the sales of domestic television sets were unprecedentedly hot.

In order to watch the sports meeting held in the capital, many families who had not planned to buy televisions before bought them, and many even gritted their teeth and bought color TVs.

Even in rural areas, every village and group was equipped with a TV to watch the sports meeting through TV broadcasts.

The effect brought by this sports meeting was all-round, changing not only the world's impression of Huaguo, but also the positioning of Huaguo people on themselves.

Starting from 1840, a century of continuous decline and being trampled under the feet of foreigners could not be reversed overnight.

Even after 49 years, we stood up again, but there was still a lingering haze in our hearts.

This haze could not be erased by a simple military victory. There must be a grand ceremony, great buildings, and a victory declaration.

In the world before Du Fei traveled through time, this ceremony would have to wait for 20 years.

We also had to endure the huge psychological impact brought about by the economic transformation in the 1980s.

In the 1990s, after the dissolution of the Sultanate, they had to endure the extreme pressure of America.

Now... Du Fei cried at the opening ceremony, the kind of howling pain that could not be held back.

At this moment, no one could understand his inner feelings.

...

Another year passed, 1989.

The year that should have been turbulent seemed particularly calm.

This year, old Toka also retired again, this time he really had to retire, no matter how healthy he was at the age of 85.

The younger Gromi was also seriously ill and was hospitalized twice in a row.

After three years, Xie Liping completely took control of the power.

However, unlike what some people expected, after consolidating his power, Xie Liping did not introduce reform measures, nor did he regard himself as a reformer.

His tactics were more experienced. Facing problems in the economic field, he did not rush to treat the symptoms, but believed that the starting point of the Sultanate's system and some correct policies was good, and the reason for the problems was the problem of the people who implemented the correct policies.

What he had to do was not to change the system rashly, but to keep a close eye on those people, let some people recognize the reality, and learn again what it means to serve the people.

One by one, this move was quite beautiful.

He did things, but tried not to stimulate the local faction that had become too powerful.

On the surface, he was not concerned about the people, so that the local faction did not have to worry, and then he would take his time and cut the meat with a knife.

On the other hand, the dust settled in the election of America, and there was no deviation.

Jiao Zhi Bushi became the new general leader of America.

…

America's founding day in 1989.

Du Fei was wearing a dark gray Zhongshan suit and sitting in a black BMW sedan.

This car was airlifted with Du Fei's special plane and was the latest flagship model launched by Beijing Automobile Factory this year.

The beautiful and calm appearance design attracted some media attention when Du Fei went to Moscow to attend Gromi's funeral the day before yesterday.

Du Fei, who was already 43 years old, wore a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, and the old-fashioned Zhongshan suit showed a bit of the calmness of a middle-aged elite.

Next to him was Zhu Ting in a bright blue dress.

Today, she was invited to attend the inauguration ceremony of Correction Bushi.

The car stopped in front of the White House.

Many celebrities had already arrived. Du Fei got off the car and immediately received a burst of flashes. Then he turned around and helped Zhu Ting get off the car. The density of flashes suddenly increased.

In the world, Zhu Ting is even more famous than Du Fei.

Before that, Du Fei was more restrained in doing things and rarely appeared in public.

But Zhu Ting, as a spokesperson, coupled with her tall figure, beautiful appearance, and good background, is destined to become a point of attention.

"Du, thank you for coming." Walker Bushi had been waiting here for a long time. His most important task today was to receive Du Fei and his wife.

Then he looked at Zhu Ting: "Madam, you look so beautiful today."

Zhu Ting thanked him, looked at Walker Bushi's wife next to him, and said with a smile: "Laura, long time no see~"

After a greeting, several people entered the White House.

Today's inauguration ceremony was particularly lively, and Du Fei could inadvertently spot one or two familiar faces.

As he was walking inside, an old acquaintance came out from inside: "Du, what a coincidence..."

Natasha, wearing a formal work suit, greeted Du Fei, and then said "congratulations" to Walker Bushi.

Since the old Toka retired for the second time, important figures in his family and faction have been promoted in return.

Natasha, as one of the more outstanding ones, also rose with the tide.

Walker Bushi's eyes flashed with fear, and he smiled and said some meaningless words.

Until the ceremony was held, Du Fei sat below and watched Jiao Zhi Bushi put his hand on the Bible, his face expressionless, but his thoughts were actually surging.

It was already 1989, two years before the dissolution of the Speed ​​Union in his memory.

Although the situation was different, the situation of the Speed ​​Union itself was far from being so bad, but some things were still difficult to reverse.

Even if Xie Lieping was at the helm now, he still couldn't turn the situation around in a short time, and could only make up for it slowly.

Especially the Eastern European allies, who had long been at odds with Moscow.

The incident in Central Asia and the voluntary withdrawal of troops from Afghan made these allies see the signs and become more active.

This situation is determined by the economic foundation and historical culture, and cannot be easily changed by one person.

Du Fei was not sure. Faced with the corrupt situation in Eastern Europe, what would Xie Lieping do?

Various intelligence shows that this situation is not far away.

Not long ago, Du Fei learned that Hungary was planning to dismantle the border with Austria with an electronic alarm system.

This was not a big deal at first, but Du Fei, as someone who had experienced it, knew the impact of it.

Once this hole is opened, a large number of people living in Eastern Independence will come to Hungary in the name of tourism, and then go to Austria and then Western Independence.

I have to say here that America knows how to use capital.

After World War II, he immediately began to transfer capital to the two defeated countries. In addition to raising two blood cattle, he also set two benchmarks.

Especially in the Western Du Kingdom, thanks to America's large amount of capital and industry, the rapid economic development has widened the gap between the living standards of the Eastern Du Kingdom.

In the eyes of most people, they will not consider various objective reasons. They will only see that after the same independent country was divided into two sides, the west side is better than the east side, and then vote with their feet.

…

After attending the inauguration ceremony, Du Fei did not go back immediately, but stayed in America for a few days.

In addition to attending the inauguration ceremony, he also brought a delegation for business negotiations.

As labor in America becomes more and more expensive, deindustrialization and transformation towards finance and high technology are imperative.

Regarding this, I have to mention Sulian.

Even though Du Fei traveled to the world before, although Su Lian fell first, he also took away half of America's life.

It was precisely because of the existence of Sulian that America was forced to abandon martial arts and deindustrialize in just a few decades after World War II.

The logic is also very simple, it is to fear the working class.

A large number of organized workers, especially industrial workers who require large-scale collaborative labor, is simply a nightmare for capitalists.

And their way of solving problems is also very American. If they can't solve the problem, they solve the problem.

The same logic applies, if the workers cannot be solved, then simply move the factory.

Without large factories, there would naturally be less large-scale industrial workers.

As for the rest, those engaged in the tertiary industry, that is, the service industry, will have it easy.

The biggest characteristic of the tertiary industry is that it is fragmented and difficult to organize and mobilize on a large scale.

But America's luck was really good. In the 1990s after the disintegration of SRAM, a wave of computer industry revolution ushered in.

Having reaped the dividends of this wave of technological innovation, economic growth has been like a shot of chicken blood, making people ignore his inner weakness.

This time, Du Fei came here to take away more of America's manufacturing industries that require intensive labor and low profits.

Move the flowers and fruits from these factories and transport the products back to America.

It's just that this time, with the strong official power of Huaguo, they will definitely get more benefits from this division of labor and cooperation.

And this is the price America must pay.

Whether it was to check and balance Sulian or to eliminate internal industrial workers, America needed a partner who was far away from home and rich in human resources.

…

However, just a week after the inauguration, something happened in Europe.

In the Wanshengtun hotel, Du Fei was sitting on the sofa watching the color TV.

It was Dong alone from a large family, who had just crossed the border between Austria and Hungary, and was excitedly being interviewed by a blonde female reporter.

Du Fei narrowed his eyes slightly, the situation seemed to be developing faster than he expected.

At this moment, the phone on the coffee table next to him rang.

Du Fei sat motionless while a thin young man quickly walked over and picked up the phone.

This is Du Fei's secretary who just came to Du Fei last year.

As the workload increased, Du Fei's number of secretaries increased to six.

"Hello~" the secretary said a few words in Russian, then held down the microphone and looked at Du Fei: "The leader, this is Ms. Natasha. She wants to come to interview you."

Du Fei raised his eyebrows and looked at the TV screen. He already guessed what Natasha was going to say and nodded, indicating that it was okay.

A moment later, in the living room outside the suite.

Du Fei saw Natasha with a gloomy expression.

As soon as he came in, he asked straight to the point: "Did you just see that news?"

Du Fei nodded, stood up and got a bottle of drink for the other party, and said indifferently: "It's just a crappy publicity method."

Natasha shook her head and said: "It's not that simple. They ignored Comrade Gross and completely betrayed the Soviet Union..."

Du Fei's heart trembled.

Gross is the number one writer in the Hungarian labor force.

Previously, Hungary's initiative to open its borders gave people a very paradoxical feeling. This was completely self-inflicted and regardless of the consequences.

Now I understand.

Du Fei pursed his lips and said, "What are you going to do?"

Natasha came here suddenly, and she definitely wasn't here to complain.

It is very likely that there is something happening on Mosco's side, and the information must be conveyed clearly and unmistakably through the most convenient way to avoid misjudgment.

At present, the most convenient and frank route from Moscow to Beijing is the Natasha and Du Fei route.

Natasha said: "I just received the news. In order to ensure the safety of Comrade Gross and thwart the traitor's conspiracy to subvert Hungary..."

Du Fei didn't need to hear what she said, he already guessed the result.

The steel-like Shulike is not Getu, and he will definitely use iron fists without hesitation in the face of this kind of temptation.

However, you should not be reckless when using strong methods. You must also take into account some impacts and find a legitimate reason for yourself to gain more recognition.

Natasha found Du Fei immediately because she wanted to take the lead.

Du Fei was not in a hurry to express his position, and fell into thinking for a long time with a serious expression.

Natasha was not in a hurry and waited patiently.

The room fell into silence for a while, and it was not until Du Fei asked again: "Do you want to simply solve the problem of Hungary's power, or are you... preparing to attack Europe?"

Natasha smiled bitterly and said: "Comrade Du Fei, do you have any misunderstanding? What about attacking Europe... how is it possible!"

Du Fei was unmoved and said: "How is it impossible? Have you forgotten the 'Western 81' exercise?"

Natasha looked helpless, thinking of the exercise a few years ago, but she didn't expect the sequelae to still affect her now.

Unfortunately, this time and that time.

Today’s SUM is no longer the SMU eight years ago.

Although Xie Lieping encouraged us to maintain it, the economic problems caused by over-reliance on oil in the past few years are not easy to solve.

Coupled with the alienation of allies in Eastern Europe, problems have arisen in the originally stable economic cooperation system. The consequence is a shortage of light industrial products related to people's livelihood.

Fortunately, there are Huaguo and Southeast Asia to fill in the gap, otherwise the situation would be even worse.

…

After sending Natasha away, Du Fei was still thinking about the current situation.

Gradually, an idea emerged in Du Fei's mind, which made his heart beat faster.

Du Fei decided to immediately put down the business delegation and flew back to the capital with Zhu Ting that night.

Immediately report what Natasha conveyed.

In Dad Zhu’s office.

Because he dyed his hair black, Dad Zhu looked much younger than his actual age, and his expression was serious at this time.

Although Natasha made it clear that she would use force with considerable restraint, the credibility of this statement is questionable.

The year before last, Xie Lieping had used a trick to covertly build a plank road in Chencang, and defeated the huge Central Asian local faction with only one airborne regiment.

Du Fei continued to state his thoughts: "Dad, this may be an opportunity..."

Dad Zhu raised his eyebrows.

Du Fei stood up and went to the huge map on the wall and pointed at the southeast corner.

Dad Zhu was stunned and immediately understood what he meant. Then his brows furrowed even deeper and he said cautiously: "This is just pulling chestnuts out of the fire!"

Du Fei said: "It is indeed a straw from the fire, but I think it is worth it. And it is very maneuverable. Once Sulian takes action in Europe, whether it is a feint or a real attack, it will definitely put great pressure on America, and it will be necessary to correct the problem." I hope we can contain..."

Du Fei didn't take it for granted, but it was really difficult for future generations to imagine how much pressure the powerful Sulian put on America and the West.

Although the withdrawal of troops from Afhan and the events in Central Asia weakened the reputation of Sulian, they were only small details and did not change the overall situation.

Under such circumstances, if America mistakenly believes that SULIN may turn 'Western 81' into reality, it will undoubtedly bring about huge fear.

Don’t forget, the man in Moscow now is Xie Lieping who has an ‘Iron Will’.

In this case, getting a small island far away from the mainland can exchange for Sulian to be attacked from both sides. This deal is simply not a good deal.

But there are two necessary conditions to achieve this goal. First, Moscow must cooperate, launch a large-scale offensive posture, apply extreme pressure, and cannot be discouraged midway.

Only in this way will America be willing to exchange chips for Huaguo's help.

But why does Sulian do this?

In other words, what are the benefits to others?

Regardless of subjective or objective conditions, Sulian currently has no motivation to take the initiative to attack.

They mostly hope to maintain the status quo and preserve the victory gained after World War II.

But from the standpoint of America and the Europeans, there is no trust in Moscow.

This is a centuries-old stereotype that makes them always feel like there is a bear trying to harm me.

It was precisely this mutual distrust engraved in his bones that made Du Fei feel like he had an opportunity.

After a long time, Dad Zhu looked at Du Fei and said in a deep voice: "If you are asked to go to Moscow, are you sure you can convince Xie Lieping?"

Du Fei swallowed subconsciously and instantly felt an invisible pressure falling on his shoulders.

But after only a moment of hesitation, Du Fei straightened his back and said, "Dad, I'm willing to give it a try."

But Dad Zhu shook his head expressionlessly: "It won't work at first try, you have to be sure, otherwise it's better not to do it."

Du Fei's expression froze and he looked up.

The old father-in-law is trying to set him up and won't give him any way out!

Du Fei was puzzled for a moment, wondering why Dad Zhu was like this.

"If it doesn't work this time..." Dad Zhu lowered his eyes, looked away from Du Fei, paused for a few seconds and said, "If it doesn't work, you can go to Nanyang~"

Du Fei was stunned and blinked several times quickly, his brain spinning faster than ever before.

The 'go to Nanyang' in Dad Zhu's mouth is obviously not a conventional visit to Nanyang.

But like Lin Tiansheng, take root completely in Nanyang and never come back.

Dad Zhu added: "The fire equipment company will temporarily ask Xiaoting to look after it for you, and will hand it over to Zhengping and Zhengdong at an appropriate opportunity later."

Even after taking this into consideration, Du Fei knew that Dad Zhu was not joking.

As for the eldest brother Du Zhengze who was not mentioned, he will definitely be a regular in the future and will not go to the enterprise.

Du Fei nodded immediately and said in a deep voice: "I understand, only success is allowed, failure is not allowed!"

He did not ask such stupid questions as "why".

In fact, the existence of the fire equipment company itself is quite abnormal.

It's not that no one criticized it before.

It's just that Du Fei has been making achievements, which makes people unable to find excuses, and Zhu's father is in office.

But now, Zhu's father is in his seventies and will retire this year. There must be some arrangements, and the fire equipment company must move.

This piece of cake is too big, and Du Fei and Shen Jianing alone can't keep it.

Whether it is Du Fei or the Zhu family, if they want to land safely, they must make some choices.

Zhu's father originally wanted to find an opportunity to talk to Du Fei in depth about these words, and just took this opportunity to throw them out.

And just now Zhu's father only talked about failure, and didn't say what would happen if he succeeded.

Du Fei heard the implication, once it succeeded, it would be a great achievement, and the situation would be different immediately.

At that time, Du Fei will still leave the fire equipment company, but he will not go to Nanyang, but stay in Beijing.

The difference is huge.

Hearing Du Fei's promise, Zhu's father's eyes were complicated, and he patted Du Fei's shoulder silently.

...

That night, Du Fei quietly took a plane to Moscow.

Looking at the dark night outside the porthole, Du Fei couldn't help but think of the scenes of the past twenty years since he traveled through time.

The trivialities in the courtyard in the morning, and then the establishment of the fire equipment company.

Bringing Li Yuanchao and Lin Tiansheng to Nanyang, creating a huge situation, and then going to India and Du...

All kinds of scenes kept emerging.

And the people around him, Zhu Ting, Zhu Li, Qin Huairou, Qin Jingrou, Wang Yufen... and one child after another...

Du Fei took a deep breath, and suddenly another thought came to his mind. These twenty years may be a dream. I don't know when, when he opens his eyes again, they will all disappear.

This is not the first time he has this idea, especially when it's late at night and he's alone.

All this was so beautiful that it was unreal.

Du Fei looked at the figure reflected in the porthole, forced himself to gather his thoughts, and squeezed out a smile.

He took a deep breath and calmed down.

In the morning, as a ray of morning light descended on Moscow, Du Fei's plane landed on the airport runway.

Coming out of the cabin door, Du Fei took a look at the gorgeous morning light in the east and walked down the gangway with a blank expression.

"Du, welcome."

Standing next to a black car under the plane was a tall and thin young man, who was Natasha's cousin.

Du Fei met him at the villa of old Tokaye last time.

He went up to shake hands and got into the car, but the two did not talk much.

The car soon arrived at a suburban sanatorium with an inconspicuous appearance.

Here, Du Fei met old Tokaye.

Time is unforgiving. Old Tokaye is definitely a long-lived person among the Sulian people, but people in their eighties are different from those in their seventies after all.

When they met again this time, Du Fei clearly felt that the body of old Tokaye was about to die.

"Du, are you here to hope that we can exercise restraint on the issue of Hungary?" Old Tokaye's voice was low and weak. He sat on the sofa with a blanket covering his body, but his eyes could still shine with sharp light.

Du Fei didn't expect the other party to be so straightforward.

But on second thought, given Old Tokaye's state, he probably didn't have the energy to beat around the bush.

Based on this, it is not difficult to guess that someone else had contacted Old Tokaye through some channels before Du Fei came.

Du Fei sat on the sofa next to him, smiled and said directly: "On the contrary, as friends, we never make decisions that harm friends."

Old Tokaye was slightly surprised, and couldn't help but frowned, his eyes became deeper.

Du Fei continued: "Regarding the issue of Hungary, we understand any countermeasures taken by Speed ​​Union..."

Although Old Tokaye is old, his mind is still agile at critical moments.

Du Fei has been saying "we", which obviously does not represent himself. What does this attitude mean?

Du Fei's real purpose was not something he could think of for a while.

If he were ten years younger, he would have no problem at all, but now...

The brain felt tired after just a few seconds of full-load thinking.

Old Toka was also helpless. He had to admit that he was old!

Fortunately, Du Fei did not mean to play dumb and quickly stated his intention.

Not to mention a big country, even a small country that can be one of the best is not a good-for-nothing.

Especially this time, if you want to succeed, you must get the cooperation of Speed ​​Union, and you must not treat the other party as a fool.

If you hold that kind of self-righteous mentality, the final fool will only be yourself.

This is why the higher the level of the game, the simpler it is, because everyone has a powerful intelligence system, and most of the time they play famous brands.

What determines the result is more whether the chips can be negotiated.

Old Toka was also surprised for a moment, and then reacted.

I understand that Du Fei's intention is to use this Austrian incident to put pressure on America and then take back the last piece of the puzzle.

With Old Toka's experience, he immediately realized that the feasibility of this matter is quite high.

The first is America's reaction.

As an old rival, Old Toka also knows America very well, just as America knows Speedlink.

If it is true as Du Fei imagined, America will undoubtedly sacrifice some minor interests of the Western Pacific in order to preserve the situation in Europe.

This will not harm the Union.

But then again, why should the Union help this? Just a few empty words are impossible.

Now that Du Fei has put forward the purpose, it is time to take out the chips.

Du Fei said: "As far as I know, due to the secret resistance of some member states, the efficiency of CMEA is very low at present, which has affected the livelihood of the Union..."

CMEA is an organization led by the Union, similar to the European Economic Community.

In the 1960s, the Union proposed the concept of international division of labor and cooperation, distributing different industrial sectors to different social countries.

The purpose of doing this is not only to increase the specialization and intensification of industrial production, but more importantly to bind the various countries in Eastern Europe to the Union on an economic basis.

Although the Union's industrial categories are relatively complete, it focuses more on heavy industry and energy industries, and places relatively minor light industries in other member states of the Union.

For a long time in the past, this model has been running well.

Everyone has their own division of labor and responsibilities.

However, in recent years, affected by the fluctuation of international oil prices, the economy of Sulian has problems, and the CMEA has also had problems.

Countries such as Poland, Hungary, and the Czech Republic have always been disloyal and unwilling to accept Moscow's orders.

Now it is just the right time to take the opportunity to trip them up, causing a shortage of various materials related to the livelihood of Sulian.

This situation has become increasingly prominent since last year.

It is precisely because of this situation that Du Fei has bargaining chips to negotiate.

After breaking this window paper, Du Fei said calmly: "In return, we can fill all the scarce products in your world through trade on railways and air routes." At this point, Du Fei stretched out a finger: "It only takes one week, and there will be no long queues on the streets of Moscow to buy daily necessities. And all you have to do is to show your posture and make an aggressive gesture..."

There is no doubt that Sulian is still strong, but there are just some problems in the economy.

Normally, as long as they are given time, they can be solved sooner or later, at most they will be embarrassed.

To put it bluntly, the chips Du Fei gave were a decent deal that could save them from embarrassment.

And once other members of CMEA found out that their secret moves had no effect, they would start to panic.

Apart from these, they had no other cards to play.

Old Tokaye thought for a moment, reached out and grabbed the phone on the coffee table next to him, and dialed a number: "Hello, Comrade Xie Lieping... There is a situation now..."

...

Du Fei came out of Old Tokaye and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

After Xie Lieping learned about the situation over the phone, he agreed very happily.

Du Fei didn't think he had moved the other party. The only reason for this result was that the other party wanted to do this.

Even if Du Fei didn't come, Xie Lieping planned to take tough measures in Austria.

If this betrayal is not punished, more people will follow suit and be proud of it.

To avoid this situation, it must be ruthlessly nipped in the bud as soon as it occurs.

As for what Huaguo wants to do with the opportunity, Xie Lieping is also happy to see it happen.

When the decision was made to withdraw troops from Afhan the year before, Xie Lieping realized that America had reaped the benefits of its failure in Vietnam.

The competitive relationship between the two sides changed again.

This is also the fundamental reason why this situation occurred in Austria.

America invested more resources and could buy more people, so it would naturally be effective.

In comparison, the economically strapped Speed ​​Union could not respond and follow up even if it knew what the other party was doing.

In the face of this situation, the strategy must be adjusted as soon as possible. Joining the weak and attacking the strong is always the optimal solution for the three-party game.

As Speed ​​Union, it only needs to show off its muscles a little to get a huge favor from Huaguo, so why not~

The opportunity is here, whether it can be grasped depends on Huaguo.

…

Three days later, Wanshengtun.

In just a few dozen hours, the incident triggered by Hungary's move to dismantle border facilities escalated rapidly.

East Independence issued a severe protest to Budapest, condemning Hungary's behavior as naked betrayal.

At the same time, Moscow issued a clear and harsh warning.

And announced a large-scale exercise in Siyaliava, which borders Hungary.

Suddenly, Europe was in an uproar.

Upon learning the news, Du Fei was already on his way to America.

At this time, he had arrived at the holiday villa in the suburbs of Wanshengtun and was meeting with Jiao Zhibushi.

"Jiao Zhi, we have been friends for more than ten years!" Du Fei vowed: "You actually questioned our friendship!"

Jiao Zhibushi was speechless and said helplessly: "Du, please don't be like this, we are not young men anymore."

But when he said this, looking at Du Fei's young and strong appearance, he felt a little insecure.

Du Fei smiled and said nothing.

Jiao Zhibushi continued: "Du, we must stop them. The Hungarians just did what they thought was right."

Du Fei said: "Of course, I admire their courage. But Herbert, that's the Sulian, you have seen their 'Western 81'..."

He said a lot of things, emphasizing the strength of the Sulian. In the final analysis, in one sentence, you have to add money.

Jiao Zhi Bushi certainly knew what Du Fei wanted.

But giving up Yizhou would undoubtedly put him under great pressure.

Although that place is not big, a lot of money is spent on America's lobbying groups every year.

If they don't agree, Huaguo will obviously not take action. All the pressure is concentrated on Europe, and they are afraid that Xie Lieping will take the opportunity to launch a steel torrent to flatten the European continent.

As soon as he took office, he had to face a dilemma.

This is the result of an extreme lack of mutual trust. Even through diplomatic channels, the Sulian side has repeatedly stated that it will not target third countries other than Hungary, but America does not believe in such guarantees at all. They must use their own means to obtain what they think is a reliable security guarantee, even if they have to pay an excessive price for it.

…

Postscript~

December 1, 2021.

Du Fei sat in the royal garden built for Zhu Li that year, located on the seaside of Kuching.

From the pavilion on the rockery, you can see yachts and sailboats moored or sailing on the sea in the distance to the north.

The yacht club founded by Wang Yufen next door has now developed into the largest yacht club in Asia, and countless celebrities from all over the world come here for vacation every year.

Du Fei is now 75 years old. He resigned from all his domestic positions three years ago and officially retired.

He reached out and picked up the latest "Hongqi 40" mobile phone released by Huaguang Electronics Factory this year from the table and checked the time.

Since 2005, Huaguang Electronics Factory released the epoch-making "Hongqi No. 1" mobile phone. So far, three series have been launched, with a total of 22 models, occupying the markets of Huaguo, Nanyang, and South Asia.

American Fruit Company followed closely behind, occupying the markets in America and Western Europe.

Although Sulian was a step slower, it barely kept up with the pace and defended the territory of Sulian and Eastern Europe.

The remaining Africa, the Middle East, and other corners are the battlefields where Hongqi and Fruit compete and strangle.

Because of the deviation in the pattern, there is no global unified market in this world.

Under Xie Lieping's iron-fisted suppression, Sulian smoothly passed 1991 and used its strong military strength to successfully stabilize Eastern Europe.

In the first half of the 1990s, it survived the most difficult period, and then caught the tail of the computer and information industry upgrade. After completing the economic structure adjustment, it relied on its strong industrial foundation and unique resource advantages to start a wave of growth again.

From 1995 to 2005, the economy of Sulian grew by an average of more than 5% per year. Although the growth rate slowed down later, it was still around 3%.

According to the method of Western economics, its GDP reached 4 trillion US dollars in 2005, reaching 60% of America's level.

Because Sulian did not self-destruct, America did not have the explosive growth in the 1990s. By 2005, its GDP was less than 7 trillion.

It was far from the terrifying data of 12 trillion US dollars in the same period in the world before Du Fei crossed over.

This is undoubtedly a very good result for Sulian.

But it is still a little worse than Huaguo.

After years of continuous high-speed growth, in 2005, Huaguo's GDP reached 86 trillion US dollars.

And in the following year, that is, 2006, with a growth rate of 7%, it actually surpassed Sulian and became the world's second largest.

It's just that Huaguo is quite cunning and knows the principle of making a fortune quietly.

The reason why America has always regarded Sulian as its first opponent is that it feels that Sulian is stronger.

In some things, as long as Sulian is not easy to deal with, it doesn't matter if Huaguo gives in a little.

But once one day, he realizes that the threat of Huaguo exceeds that of Sulian, he won't be so easy to talk to.

So after entering the 21st century, Huaguo has been suppressing economic data.

By 2006, the actual economic scale surpassed Sulian, reaching 412 billion US dollars, but the external statistics were only 3.5 trillion.

It was not until ten years later, that is, in 2016, that it reluctantly and slowly surpassed Sulian with 65 trillion US dollars and became the second.

At this time, America's economic scale was about 4 trillion, and Sulian was 6 trillion, still maintaining about 60% of America's.

The actual economic scale of Huaguo has reached 7 trillion US dollars according to the exchange rate, which is close to 75% of America's level.

At this point, it has been invincible.

With a complete range of industries and strong manufacturing capabilities, it has completely solved the historical burden.

In 1989, in order to prevent the possibility of excessive actions by Speed ​​Union in Eastern Europe, after weighing the pros and cons, Correction Bushi finally chose Europe.

In the following week, Moscow made many high-profile speeches, mobilized personnel and equipment, and set up a posture to maintain the heat.

Huaguo took decisive action.

In this kind of thing, America can only promise not to intervene at most, and it will eventually have to reach out for it.

Whether it can be taken back depends on whether the means are strong enough.

As for the process, it can only be said that there are no surprises.

First, at 10 o'clock in the morning, the electronic warfare aircraft took the lead.

The enemy's warning radar became blind, followed by graphite bombs paralyzing the power grid and electronic warfare aircraft cutting off communication signals.

Twenty minutes later, a transport fleet consisting of forty Y-9 heavy transport aircraft, under the cover of a large number of fighters, attack aircraft, and bombers, made an airborne assault and seized the airport...

It was broad daylight, the weather was fine, and there was no shelter or obstruction.

Looking from the ground to the sky, the huge fleet of aircraft passed by like a black cloud, and the morale of the defenders, which was not high to begin with, collapsed instantly.

Accompanying them were precision-guided bombs targeting key targets and the removal of long-range missiles.

The entire operation lasted only 48 hours.

Finally, 97 Hong Kong returned.

The golden bowl is intact, and the danchen is forever solid.

Today, December 1, 2021, is the day when Du Fei returned to 1965.

This year, Huaguo's GDP reached 500 million US dollars, close to America's 400 million US dollars.

It has a complete range of industries, self-contained, advanced electronic computers and Internet technologies.

It covers the four states of the mainland, North Korea, Nanyang, Bangladesh, and the southern part of the Indus Peninsula, with an area of ​​more than 17 million square kilometers and a total population of more than 2 billion.

In comparison, America's economic circle includes North America and western Europe, with an area of ​​25 million square kilometers and a population of 800 million.

If Sulian and Eastern Europe are added, the population will be 700 million and the area will be 24 million square kilometers.

And there are no super capitalists who are separated from labor production, obtain labor surplus through capital, and control tens or even hundreds of billions.

All people will enjoy the dividends of national development fairly.

People's living standards will vary. Hardworking and smart people can get a better life through their talents and efforts.

They can be model workers, scientists, technical experts, artists, writers... Their wages can be twice or even several times that of ordinary workers.

But this difference can only come from the difference in physical and mental strength between people, not from the gains of means of production.

The means of production belong to the people, and the gains and benefits generated by the means of production also belong to the people.
