Rebirth of the Flying Era

Chapter 1445: Local vassalization

This time sending Du Fei to Moscow as a special representative was the result of careful consideration.

Du Fei’s identity itself has certain special characteristics. He is not entirely official, but he has great influence.

 In addition, because of the route starting from Borneo, Dufy established an extraordinary relationship with some people in Moscow.

This time Du Fei went to Moscow with a very important mission to test the possibility of reducing the military strength of the Far East.

With Huaguo’s breakthrough in intercontinental missiles, it has achieved strategic deterrence capabilities in the true sense.

This makes Huaguo hope to reduce part of the defense expenditure and use it for economic construction.

 But this wish must be responded to by Moscow, otherwise the two sides will be fighting with two ends.

In addition, Du Fei also wanted to take a closer look at what Sulian was like.

 At this time, in the world before he traveled, it was less than fifteen years since the Soviet-Eastern Incident.

This engineer surnamed Wu was actually an errand in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, specializing in serving the emperor. He strives for excellence in his work and has a particularly strong spirit of service.

Du Fei sat in the middle of the plane and looked out the porthole.

 After reading the information for a while, Du Fei raised his head, stretched his neck, and looked out through the porthole again.

 According to her, Serov's family and Natasha's family are family friends. During the Great Patriotic War, Natasha's grandfather and Serov's grandfather were in the same division, and they had a real life-long friendship.

“Du Fei, welcome to Lucia~” Natasha enthusiastically stepped forward and gave Du Fei a hug.

Du Fei does not exclude the idea of ​​making friends with more important people in Sulian. If he can catch Natasha's eyes, this person is definitely not an ordinary person.

Du Fei responded with a smile, but noticed that Natasha was talking about Lucia and not Su Lian.

Even Du Fei didn't expect this effect.

This may be intentional, or it may be Natasha's habit.

Then Natasha introduced a young man who came with him: "This is Serov, my classmate and best friend, and my sister's fiancé."

 For many issues, Du Fei must be more careful than before to draw conclusions.

 Taking off from Beijing, the plane flies northwest and will arrive in Irkutsk about 1,600 kilometers away.

 Du Fei was sitting on the newly modified K-8 passenger plane. Because of the internal sound insulation decoration and specific background music, it offset the vibration caused by the aircraft engine, which greatly improved the comfort of this K-8 passenger plane.

Later, when he asked about the person in charge of this work, he suddenly realized.

Serov smiled and said: "Comrade Du Fei, I have heard of you a long time ago, and I am very happy to see you."

 Most of them are people he needs to deal with.

It's just that Serov's grandfather was not very lucky and died before the end of the war.

Going down the gangway, you saw Natasha.

Under the thin clouds, there is a large lake embedded in the vast Xianbelia Plain. It is Lake Baikal, which we call the North Sea.

 At this time, Lake Baikal has not yet thawed, and it looks like a huge blue gem from the sky.

 There is no need to go around in the middle, it takes about two and a half hours.

 Now, due to the changes caused by Du Fei's appearance, many things can no longer be copied mechanically from the experiences and results before time travel.

This kind of Du Fei can't be said to be good or bad. Anyway, after mastering relevant science and engineering knowledge, all his enthusiasm was spent on the noise reduction of passenger aircraft.

 Finally, domestic K-8 passenger planes will catch up with the world's advanced jetliners in terms of noise experience.

Jie Niang is really cold-resistant. In this cold weather, you can still see her waist through the outline of the coat, which shows that she really doesn't wear much underneath.

Du Fei knew that this Serov should be the person Natasha wanted to introduce to him. He smiled and shook hands and said, "Comrade Serov, it's nice to meet you."

 After a brief exchange of greetings, Natasha had no inhibitions and began to read about Serov's family background.

 The weather in April is that spring has begun in the capital, but the cold winter is still here.

Instead, we stopped briefly in Irkutsk on the way and picked up Natasha to go with us.

Next to it is the Angara River flowing from Lake Baikal.

The building was not built in a day, nor does it decay in a day. If it is really rotten to the roots, you can see the signs now.

 The plane took off, and the capital on the ground quickly became smaller.

 According to Natasha, she had a very important ‘friend’ in Irkutsk who introduced her to Du Fei.

Since there were still a few days left before the commemoration, Du Fei did not fly to Moscow in one breath.

Irkutsk is right next to Lake Baikal, about fifty kilometers away in a straight line.

Du Fei twisted his neck and looked at it for a while before looking back, and began to lower his head to read the relevant information prepared this time.

Du Fei's plane landed at the Irkutsk airport, and Natasha had already come to pick him up in advance.

 When the plane flies to level ground, the flight is very smooth and does not affect reading.

 Fortunately, Du Fei was strong and well prepared, so he put on his down jacket.

Du Fei set off at around nine in the morning and would arrive around noon.

Du Fei got off the plane and felt the biting cold of Xianbelia as soon as he stepped out of the cabin door.

But Serov’s father and uncle are very competitive and have strong personal abilities.

Coupled with the help of his grandfather's comrades in arms, the family did not decline, but thrived, becoming an important force in the Far East.

As for Natasha's involvement in Serov this time and the introduction to Du Fei, it's actually not surprising.

 To put it bluntly, it is profitable.

Du Fei got off the plane and had to stay in Irkutsk for a day, and then take a flight to Moscow with Natasha tomorrow.

This is Serov's territory, and he will definitely entertain him throughout the whole process.

 The three people left the airport in a Volga car and soon arrived at a sanatorium on the Angara River.

From a distance, it can be seen that this nursing home is quite large. The car is parked in front of a building with a very fast-link punk style.

Serov got out of the car, threw the car keys to a young man who came out, and then walked inside with Du Fei and Natasha.

 As soon as I walked in, I felt a rush of heat rushing towards my face. It seemed like a completely different world from the cold temperature outside.

Natasha immediately took off her outer coat, revealing a Lenin suit and trousers underneath, and a pair of very high heels on her feet.

Compared to the majority of domestic women who have feet that are 37 or 38, Sulian people’s feet are slender and long. There are many women who wear sizes 42 or 43. Their slender soles can wear high heels very high.

Dufey and Serov also took off their coats and handed them to the dedicated waiters.

“Rest assured, the staff here are very reliable and will never do anything outside of their job,” Serov explained.

Du Fei knew what he meant, and besides, he never put anything useful in his pocket when he got off the plane.

 The three of them walked in and didn't meet anyone else.

I don’t know if Du Fei is being entertained here alone, or if other people have other channels. Then Serov arranged a very luxurious Russian dinner.

 Although the preparation method is not too surprising, the ingredients are really amazing.

Serov was also very patient and did not say anything serious at the dinner table until after eating, when he suggested adding a sauna.

 Natasha did not participate in this step, not because she was shy, but probably as a reason to give Du Fei and Serov a chance to be alone.

Du Fei was not polite, and was "sincere" to Serov.

With a "stab" sound, Serov poured a large ladle of water on the sauna stone.

 In an instant, a burst of heat rushed out.

 In the sauna room, the hot moisture is inhaled along the nose, giving people a slight feeling of suffocation.

Du Fei sat down and wiped his face with a wet towel.

 Serov sat next to him and said with a smile: "The route you and Natasha cooperated with..."

Du Fei listened and smiled in his heart, knowing that he was finally going to get down to business: "Are you interested?"

Serov said: "Of course, being able to eat fresh fruits and vegetables in winter has been very popular around Moscow. I think if we can learn from the successful experience in the Far East..."

In fact, Du Fei guessed what he meant early on, but the purchasing power of the Far East was far less than that of the wealthier areas around Moscow and Eastern Europe.

 Previously, the Moscow route departed from Kuching and stopped at North Gauley.

 Hokkaido and North Korea, including some supplies from Northeast China, will be installed here and shipped to Moscow.

 Instead, the Far East, which was geographically closer, was directly crossed.

The reason why Du Fei did this before was mainly to reduce unnecessary resistance. Whether it was at home or in SLA, the Far East was not an easy place to touch.

 Until this time Serov came to him on his own initiative.

This cannot be Serov's personal behavior, nor is it a whim of the Serov family, but involves the entire Far East local group.

 Otherwise Natasha wouldn’t have stepped in to help.

 But it is not difficult to see from Natasha's attitude that there is still some uncertainty in the matter itself, and her family must have been unable to shirk it, so they agreed.

 But it’s just enough, and I don’t get involved too deeply. If the situation changes in the future, I can get out in time.

As for Du Fei, he didn't have any resistance to this. Even Serov's appearance this time seemed to give him a pillow if he felt sleepy.

 Serov represents the local faction in the Far East.

Although the current Sulian is far from reaching the level of local vassal towns, it is also true that since Polezhne came to power, local power has increased.

 Especially in the Far East and Central Asia, the relationship between local power and local garrisons is getting closer and closer.

Serov said: "Although the population in the Far East is not large, the entire Far East has 700,000 troops..."

Du Fei raised his eyebrows: "You mean... we should do this?"

Serov said: "You have the source of goods and I have the channels, so why not?"

Du Fei clicked his tongue, leaned on the pine board behind him, thought for a moment and said: "I will take 20% of the net profit, and the rest will be distributed among you."

Serov was stunned. It was not that Du Fei wanted too much, but too little.

 He knew that the cooperation between Du Fei and Natasha was basically at this ratio.

 But don’t forget Natasha’s background. She is a woman who can truly know everything in Moscow.

Serov originally thought there would be a quarrel over profit distribution, but who knows... instead he was a little confused as to what Du Fei was thinking.

Although at first glance it seems that Du Fei takes 20% and gives 80% to the opponent, Du Fei is at a disadvantage.

 But don’t forget that this is pure profit. In fact, Du Fei does not lose at all, because most of the entire industry chain is controlled by Du Fei.

 How much does it cost before fruits and vegetables are put on the plane, the cost of transportation fuel, aircraft depreciation and loss, airline profits... Du Fei said these costs are whatever they are.

 In fact, Duffy was able to eventually take away nearly 40% of the profits in the entire industry chain.

The remaining profits are distributed to Sulian. As for who they give it to or not, or whether they simply give it to the people, it has nothing to do with Du Fei.

 As for Serov, it was an unexpected gain for Du Fei.

 The emergence of Serov illustrates a problem, that is, local groups in the Far East have developed interest demands independent of Moscow.

 And based on this appeal, substantive actions were taken.

 This is a very important signal for Du Fei.

This shows that for many things, he does not necessarily have to go through Moscow, but can communicate directly with the local factions, reach an agreement in advance, or exchange interests.

Aware of this, Du Fei placed Serov on the same level as Natasha, striving to get tangible benefits to the local group behind Serov as soon as possible.

 Once the binding of interests is completed, future matters can be easily discussed.

 …

 An hour later, after the "sincere" meeting with Dufei, Serov settled in Dufei's residence, then left the sanatorium by car and returned to the city of Irkutsk.

 The cadre residential compound located near the prefectural government.

 Serov met a middle-aged man whose appearance was exactly what he imagined.

This man is none other than his father, the most powerful man in the entire Irkutsk region.

 “Father~” Serov knocked on the door politely and came in.

 The middle-aged man looked up at him and continued to work with his head down. At the same time, he said lightly: "Have you met that flower-fruit man?"

"Yes, father~" Serov briefly explained the situation of his meeting with Du Fei just now.

When he was halfway through speaking, the middle-aged man raised his eyebrows and put down the pen in his hand, with a hint of amusement in his deep eyes.

 After Serov finished speaking, he chuckled and said, "This person is willing to give out benefits."

 Serov lowered his head slightly and said nothing.

 He was not sure what his father's attitude was.

  Relatively speaking, his uncle was more concerned about this matter.

The middle-aged man stood up, walked around from behind his desk, stood by the window, looked at the snow-covered yard outside, and took out a cigarette from his pocket.

 Serov immediately went over and took out a lighter to help light it.

The middle-aged man took a sip and spit it out slowly: "In this case, let's not do anything wrong. We can get fresh fruits and vegetables in winter. I believe the residents of the Far East and the comrades in the army will be very happy."

Serov secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Although he expected that his father would not let go of this opportunity to win people's hearts, not knowing the supply channels was a hidden danger.

 Once the supply of fresh vegetables and fruits is started in advance and people get used to it, then the supply is suddenly cut off, and the impact will be even greater.

 Instead of that, it would be better not to have it in the first place.
