Rebirth of the Flying Era

Chapter 1263: Fleet

Du Fei was not too surprised by the ‘meeting gift’ given by Imranhan.

Now that the opponent's situation is urgent, it is very important for them to see what role Du Fei, the 'special envoy', can play and how much role he is willing to send back.

 Compared to this, Tata Group and Wenger Dick seem insignificant.

If a Wingedick can be exchanged for Du Fei's favor, it might not be a cost-effective way for the big shots in Xindeli.

 Furthermore, the Tata Group has been in terrible shape in recent years.

The Tata Group was born in the colonial period and has a strong background in Anglo-French capital.

However, the Tata family turned around quickly. After World War II, they found out that the Yingguo people were dying, so they immediately turned around and took out a lot of profits to deal with the big shots in Xinde and Li.

On the other hand, Yingguo's remaining influence is still used to form a new check and balance.

While doing so is beneficial to the stability of the Tata Group, it has made some people quite dissatisfied.

 It’s just that in the past, due to the strength of the Tata Group and the checks and balances of all parties, it has been holding back.

 Until this time, the unexpected development of the war situation and the arrival of Du Fei broke this balance.

In other words, the moment Dufy's soles stepped onto the land of Dreams, Wingedick's fate was doomed.

After thinking about this, Du Fei looked at Imranhan with a meaningful look.

I believe that after the incident, the person in front of me can also get a piece of meat from the Tata Group.

This has nothing to do with Du Fei. As long as Tifak successfully takes power and the money promised to invest in the Kingdom of Sarawak is in place, they can do whatever they like with the rest.

But now that the meal has been eaten, it’s really time to talk about something serious.

Du Fei had enough time to calm down and said: "We all have our own missions. You should know that I am not a professional foreign affairs officer. How about we just not use those convoluted rhetoric?"

 Imran Khan nodded in agreement.

Du Fei leaned back on the chair comfortably: "In that case, let's talk about your conditions first."

To put it bluntly, the so-called mediation is to act as a peacemaker to stop the fight. Moreover, Du Fei, the peacemaker, has been sitting on his **** crookedly from the beginning.

Xinde Li knew very well what the so-called single army was about.

 But they must pretend to be confused while still understanding.

 No other reason, just because they failed on the battlefield. To make things clear at this time would be to force a more powerful enemy to die.

That is picking up a stone and shooting yourself in the foot.

 But then there is another problem, that is, if you want to negotiate, it is useless to go directly to Shanjun.

 To put it bluntly, Li Yuanchao himself only had the authority of a frontline commander.

 In the end, they had to take the initiative to seek mediation, and that's why Du Fei was appointed as the special envoy.

Imran Khan knew that the critical moment had come, and said seriously: "As a single army of invaders..."

As soon as he opened his mouth, Du Fei coughed and interrupted: "Mr. Imranhan, as I said just now, don't use foreign language or complete word games. It is meaningless and will only waste time."

Imranhan smiled: "Sorry, professional habit."

As to whether it was a habit or a deliberate attempt to take advantage of a loophole, only he knew in his heart.

Imranhan continued: "The individual armies must withdraw..."

Du Fei was waiting for the next step, but the other party was gone.

Du Fei raised his eyebrows: "Is this the only condition?"

Imranhan looked sincere: "There is only one condition. I hope Mr. Du can see our sincerity in longing for peace."

Du Fei smiled. It seemed that the situation on the Western Front was more serious than expected.

Although Li Yuanchao and Ding Dacheng gave up the attack on Allahabad, Xinde Li would not be attacked from both sides.

 But the tragic defeat on the Eastern Front undoubtedly greatly stimulated the morale and determination of the Pakistani army.

 Coupled with the deterioration of the situation in the south, Hyderabad and Bangalore, the cards Xin Deli can play are even more stretched.

As for peace, Du Fei sneered in his heart.

  At best, it is just a delaying tactic.

 First deal with the threats on the eastern front, concentrate our forces to deal with the Pakistani army, and finally deal with the disobedient southerners.

Du Fei smiled and said: "Of course, peace is the common wish of mankind. Since I am here this time, I will do my best. But... I can't guarantee how effective it will be."

Imran Khan said: "Mr. Du, you are being humble. I know that you are a close friend of Shan Guo's Li Jiangjun. I believe that he will consider it carefully if you come forward."

Of course Du Fei understood that the implication was that Li Yuanchao would not give you face if he did not listen to his advice.

There is no need to deny the relationship with Li Yuanchao. It is obvious that they are just lice on the bald man's head.

 After both parties expressed their attitudes, the meal ended.

 At night, the lights in Mengmai City are starting to turn on.

Imranhan was sitting in a vintage Rolls-Royce sedan, looking at the street scene outside the car window, his face darkened by the shaking.

 At night, the streets in Mengmai are not as congested as during the day.

The car drove smoothly back to a luxurious Victorian-style mansion located in the center of Mengmai.

 Less than 200 meters away from here is the former Governor-General's Palace of Indu, Vice-President, and Duke Mountbatten.

The car came to a slow stop, and a servant with a huge bun opened the door. Imranhan walked down expressionlessly, looked back in the direction of the Taj Mahal Hotel, then walked up the stairs and walked into the house. The gate of the mansion.

 The inside still retains the appearance of one or two hundred years ago, but some electrical appliances have been added for comfortable living.

 Imranhan did not stop in the living room, but went directly upstairs to the study room and started making phone calls.

His first call was directly to the Victoria Palace in Xin Deli.

　　In order to wait for his call, Xindila has been in the office.

The phone rang twice and was connected.

  "Aunt~" Imranhan's title directly shows his relationship with Xindila. He is a direct descendant of the Nihelu family in Uttar Pradesh.

 “How is the situation?” Xindila went straight to the topic without being polite.

Imranhan said: "The other party's attitude is ambiguous, and as you expected, Wingedik is dead."

Xindila was slightly silent. She was not surprised by this result. However, Imranhan said 'as she expected' was flattering. This was not Xindila's expectation, but the think tank around her. Judgment based on Du Fei's character and past behavior style.

After a moment, Xindila said: "We are here to deal with him as much as possible. According to our feedback in Karachi, the sudden withdrawal of troops from Allahabad on the Eastern Front made the Pakistani army very angry..."

Imranhan pursed his lips, but swallowed the words as soon as they reached his lips.

 He believes that there is nothing objectionable about this protest.

It's just that he understood what he said in his heart, there was no need to talk back in front of his aunt.

 In his opinion, his aunt was a qualified politician, but had no military talent. She relied entirely on the generals and think tanks around her.

 As for the abilities of those generals and think tanks, they cannot be said to be weak.

Objectively speaking, they are all elites, otherwise they would not have achieved a decisive victory in Bangladesh.

Had it not been for Shan Guo’s sudden backstab, victory and glory should have belonged to them.

 It’s a pity that there is no if.

 These generals and think tanks pale in comparison when they have to face more powerful enemies.

It’s just that there is no point in arguing about these now. The key is no longer with them, nor with the flower country.

Imranhan said: "I have made arrangements at the airport. The fleet will land in more than an hour."

Xindila said "hmm": "I hope Moscow will not disappoint us again this time."

Imranhan said: "Auntie, don't worry, I will ensure that this batch of state-of-the-art equipment reaches the front line as soon as possible."

Xindila took a long breath, but her tone was a little disappointed: "Unfortunately, they only promised to sell us equipment, but refused to directly send troops, otherwise... In short, stabilize the flower country first, and wait for us to get the equipment, and then fight first Fight back.”

 …

At the other end, the presidential suite of the Taj Mahal Hotel where Dufy was staying.

After leaving Imran, Du Fei returned to the room, still thinking about the rare meeting with Imran just now.

 Although Imran Khan showed considerable sincerity during the conversation, Du Fei always felt that something was not right.

 Imranhan acted too pragmatic and sincere, and even the condition he proposed was just to withdraw a single army.

 This is not the character of the third brother.

Logically speaking, that kind of mysterious self-confidence is engraved in the bones. At this time, even if you don't ask for a high price, you still have to bluff.

Furthermore, although Imran Khan is sincere, he is a little less eager.

He didn't seem particularly anxious, which gave Du Fei a vague feeling that the other person seemed to be looking forward to some kind of turning point.

 “What will be the turning point?” Du Fei looked at the night scene of Mengmai outside and thought silently in his heart.

At this moment, a huge black shadow suddenly descended from the clouds in the dark night in the distance.

Du Fei looked through the window and didn't pay much attention at first.

Mengmai is a world-famous big city, and the airport is very large and busy.

Du Fei only thought that the plane was very big at first.

But immediately after, not long after the plane landed, a huge black shadow broke through the clouds and landed from a similar position.

Du Fei sat on the lounge chair by the window, looking out the window, still not paying much attention.

 Planes are not rare.

 However, in the next two or three hours, more than 20 similar large planes landed one after another.

Dufey finally realized something was unusual.

If we say one or two, it can be said to be a large passenger aircraft operating across continents.

 In the 1970s, although there were not many such large passenger aircraft, they were not absent.

 But it’s all the same. With so many sorties appearing in a short period of time, things are definitely not that simple.

As far as Du Fei can think of, there is only one possibility for this situation to occur, which is a large-scale military transport aircraft fleet.

 In this world, there are only two companies that can dispatch more than twenty large transport aircraft at one time.

 In the current situation, it is impossible for Meguo's plane to appear here, so there is only one answer left.

 Although from the beginning, Moscow declared a neutral attitude.

But anyone with a discerning eye knows that they and Xin Deli are wearing the same pair of trousers.

Had it not been for Shan's sudden appearance and ruthlessly tearing off the Indian army's fig leaf, they would have publicly signed an alliance and cooperation treaty long ago.

Even now, it still does not prevent Moscow from sparing no effort in secretly supporting it.

Thinking of this, Du Fei felt a chill in his heart, and immediately asked the little black man to lead a few crows to fly in the direction of the airport.

 Under the cover of night, Xiao Hei flew to the airport on the outskirts of the city.

 Mengmai Airport is quite large.

 The huge apron is filled with civil aviation aircraft of various types.

The big planes that landed just now are not difficult to find. Firstly, they are too big, and secondly, there are too many of them. These planes occupy almost half of the entire east side of the apron.

Searchlights were turned on nearby, and around the plane, many workers were busy unloading the cargo in the transport cabin.

 Du Fei saw these aircraft simultaneously through his field of vision, and recognized them at a glance as An-22 transport aircraft.

This turboprop transport aircraft is the largest transport aircraft currently available to Moscow, and it is also the turboprop transport aircraft with the largest load capacity in the world.

 Can carry two main battle tanks or four tracked infantry fighting vehicles at one time.

At this time, there were still twelve planes parked on the tarmac of the airport.

 The total number of aircraft that landed just now is more than this. After landing, these aircraft were quickly unloaded according to wartime standards, and then immediately took off and returned.

 Obviously Moscow does not want the outside world to know about this secret assistance to India.

Du Fei had no expression on his face. He watched the huge planes like ospreys taxiing and taking off one by one through his field of vision. His mood was quite complicated.

 Before he was reborn, he saw our own large strategic transport aircraft.

 But that was more than forty years later.

 For a long time in the future, this kind of large transport aircraft capable of strategic delivery will be our shortcoming.

Although Du Fei knew that the domestic large aircraft project had already started at this time.

 But he knows better about the final fate of this project.

In Du Fei's view, the risk and cost of boarding a large jet aircraft directly without any basic conditions are too high.

It’s better to stay on the safe side and build a propeller-sized aircraft first.

 Like the Figure 95 of Big Goose and the C130 transport aircraft of Meguo, they were all used until the beginning of the next century, with at least a service life of forty or fifty years.

The last time he collaborated with Winnie, Du Fei also procured a set of blueprints for the "Bristol Brabazon" large aircraft.

Like the An-22, the Brabazon aircraft also has four high-power turboprop engines.

 When Du Fei got the drawings, he planned to directly take over the project team developing the large jet.

 Compared to large jets, using mature technology of turboprop engines has a significantly higher chance of success.

 But regarding this matter, Du Fei obviously wanted to keep things simple.

 Last time he submitted the drawings and put forward his own ideas, but he did not get support.

 Through demonstration by relevant experts, it is believed that faster and more efficient jet engines are the future development direction.

Rather than wasting resources on developing outdated turboprop aircraft, it would be better to concentrate resources on developing large jet aircraft.

At that time, Du Fei curled his lips when he heard it. What he said was all correct nonsense.

Who doesn’t know that jets are the direction of development, but the problem is that you have to figure it out!
