At the same time that Du Fei arrived in Kuching, it was located east of Xigong, at the mouth of the Mekong River, and inside the Vung Tau Naval Base.

Wu Chunfu looked anxious at this time and was rubbing his hands in circles in an office.

At this time, the door was opened, and a young officer came in and said: "Mr. Wu, sir, please come over."

Wu Chunfu breathed a sigh of relief and had some time to relax. He immediately followed him out and arrived at the large office on the top floor of the base building.

"Spring Festival is here~" A thin old man in his sixties in the office smiled and motioned for him to sit down.

"Uncle Ruan." Wu Chunfu took two steps closer, came to the front of the old man, and said with a grimace: "You are really calm. How long has it been? The Northern Army has already entered Xicong..."

The old man's expression was meaningful: "They can come whenever they come. I have dozens of warships that can go to sea at any time. Can they still chase them into the sea?"

Wu Chunfu's heart moved, and he heard the implication of the other party's words. The most critical words in this sentence were the words 'you can go to sea at any time'.

The meaning is also very obvious, that is, wait for the price to sell, and you can leave at any time as long as the price is agreed upon.

Hearing this meaning, Wu Chunfu secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He was afraid that the other party would be stubborn.

Now that it wasn't, it would be much easier to handle. He didn't believe that Hanoi could offer a higher price than his.

"Uncle Ruan, I understand, just tell me what conditions you have." Wu Chunfu immediately vowed and patted his chest.

The old man raised his eyebrows, but asked instead: "Are you here on behalf of Kuching?"

Now that things have happened, Wu Chunfu has nothing to hide, nodding and admitting: "Now that America is gone, looking at the whole of Nanyang, who can you think can afford a higher price than Kuching?"

The old man pursed his lips. This was indeed true, and asked, "What did they say?"

Wu Chunfu came closer and said: "As long as you can bring the main ship here, one million US dollars in cash..."

The old man frowned and sneered: "Dozens of warships and twenty helicopters are worth one million dollars?"

Wu Chunfu was not anxious anymore. What he was afraid of was that the other party would not get the oil and salt. Now that he had entered the bargaining stage, he calmed down and said with a smile: "Uncle, if it is normal, these ships and planes will definitely cost more than this, but the problem is

What's the situation now? The Northern Army will arrive as early as tomorrow morning. What will you do then?"

The old man asked: "Can't I surrender?"

Wu Chunfu said: "Why do you have to say angry words? You know better than me what the situation of the Northern Army is. If we really want to surrender, let alone this million, it is not certain whether your whole family can survive."

The old man was furious: "You threaten me!"

Wu Chunfu put away his smile and said in a deep voice: "Uncle, this is not a threat, I am just reminding you. Although this million US dollars is not a big amount to you, as long as you take the people and the boat to Kuching, you can

You are a meritorious minister, and you are not forced to surrender. You are a wise man, what should you do... I don’t need to say more~"

The old man lowered his eyes and quickly thought about the pros and cons.

After a moment, he raised his head and said: "I want two million U.S. dollars in money, and I also want a seat as a representative of the Kingdom Conference."

The former is for economic interests, while the latter, the representative of the Kingdom Council, is for the protection of political integrity.

Wu Chunfu immediately nodded and agreed: "No problem, two million U.S. dollars, one kingdom's representative quota."

Before coming, Chen Fangshi gave him great authority. This matter was directly arranged by Du Fei. As long as he could get the remaining ships from South Vietnam, it would be worth paying any price.

Because this is not just a ship, but a problem of trade-offs between the two sides.

In the past, the Northern Army had almost no navy, and only some small boats that were not popular.

If they were allowed to inherit South Vietnam's navy, the situation would completely change.

By then, Conlun Island and Phu Quy Island, which Du Fei had previously occupied, would certainly not be able to be defended, as would those islands in the South China Sea close to the coastline of South Vietnam.

Therefore, Du Fei must take advantage of this opportunity to completely cut off the opportunity for the Northern Army to make a big move at sea.

Although the ships that America left to South Vietnam were not particularly advanced or large, the number was considerable. There were more than 70 destroyers, frigates, minesweepers, patrol boats, and torpedo boats, and most of them were

In this base located on the edge of the Mekong River outlet.

The two sides reached an agreement, and the next thing would be easy to handle. The old man gave an order, and the base was mobilized...

Du Fei received the news on the afternoon of the second day after arriving in Kuching.

After sailing for a day and a night, Wu Chunfu led this fleet of more than fifty ships of various types to finally arrive in Kuching.

Du Fei received the call and immediately drove straight to the naval port north of Kuching.

As soon as the convoy arrived, you could feel the commotion inside the base.

The car stopped at the gate of the base, and after confirmation, the sentry let it go.

When the car stopped, Du Fei got out of the car and looked towards the dock on the seaside, only to see dozens of large and small warships parked densely.

Just in case, the ships originally parked in the base were sent to sea in advance to be on alert.

When the South Vietnamese ship arrived, it brought not just sailors, but also a large number of family members, as well as people who came with the ship through various connections.

Standing in the distance, Du Fei even saw a motorcycle hanging on a rope outside the railing of a destroyer!

In addition, there were sewing machines, various luggage, and what's more, when disembarking, a middle-aged woman walked down the gangway leading a pig.

Du Fei did not step forward, but just watched from a distance, and he could imagine what a chaotic situation it was when boarding the ship in South Vietnam.

At this time, knowing that Du Fei was coming, Zhu Pengzhi, who was in charge of the navy, quickly brought Wu Chunfu over.

The two of them came forward and saluted at the same time.

Zhu Pengzhi first reported that according to statistics, a total of fifty-six ships of various types came this time, with a total of nearly 20,000 people, including 3,600 sailors and officers, and the rest were all civilians...

After listening to what Zhu Pengzhi said, Du Fei looked at Wu Chunfu and shook hands with him.

Wu Chunfu was very excited and quickly held Du Fei's hand. He knew that he had made a great contribution this time and had a promising future.

After holding his hand, Du Fei did not forget to pat him on the shoulder: "Old Wu, you are the biggest hero this time. You became a Shaojiang in South Vietnam, and when you came to me, I made you a Jiangjun."

Wu Chunfu's eyes lit up, and he quickly thanked him profusely and swore loyalty.

Before he came to Kuching, he didn't have much hope. He thought he could keep his property and be content with being a rich man.

Unexpectedly, there was an opportunity waiting for him.

With this foundation of credit, Wu Chunfu has truly climbed to the upper class in Kuching.

At the same time, a large Northern army also arrived at the naval base at the mouth of the Mekong River.

I originally wanted to negotiate terms and force them to surrender, but when I came here, I encountered an empty city plan!

Such a large naval base was quiet, and it happened to be in the evening, which made it especially weird.

This made the vanguard of the Northern Army a little suspicious, not to mention deceit.

After waiting for a long time and sending people in to investigate, it was finally confirmed that there was indeed no one inside, including the ships on the dock.

The leader of the Northern Army was a battalion commander, who could not help but frown.

He received an order from his superiors to come and take over the base. The superiors had negotiated with the leaders of the base before, and everything should have been agreed upon. How did it become like this?

They immediately sent people into the base and searched carefully, but they were still confused.

Immediately, reports were made to the superiors, and soon the news reached Li Zhu, making him frown.

At this time, he had received information from Kuching.

The arrival of the South Vietnamese fleet in Kuching did not block the news, and it was impossible to cover up such a big movement even if someone paid a little attention.

Li Zhu's eyes were gloomy. He held two telegrams he had just received in his hand and slammed the table: "This is unreasonable!"

However, after scolding him, he could only take a deep breath to calm down.

This was a mistake. After conquering Xigong, he thought that the other remaining soldiers were the turtles in the urn.

Unexpectedly, Du Fei took advantage of the situation and used a few million dollars to kidnap the fleet that originally belonged to him.

What made him even more angry was that the two islands next to the outlet of the Mekong River were also in the hands of Kuching.

Li Zhu gritted his teeth, unable to swallow his breath anymore, and pointed at Kunlun Island and Fugui Island: "Fight, fight me!"

…

The next day, Kuching.

Du Fei was at Zhu Li's side, and he received a call from Zhu Benchang as soon as he got up.

At the same time, similar information came from Eagle.

Du Fei came to the military command post underneath the Kingdom's Parliament Building.

Chen Fangshi, Zhu Benchang, and Eagle are all here.

According to feedback from the reconnaissance aircraft that took off from Conlun Island last night, there was a heavy military buildup on the opposite shores of Conlun Island and Phu Quy Island, and many fishing boats and small cargo ships gathered.

Du Fei confirmed the information and couldn't help but smile: "It seems that our Comrade Li has a very bad temper and is going to take action against us."

Then he looked at Zhu Benchang: "Uncle Six, how is our defense on the island?"

Zhu Benchang stood up quickly. Although Du Fei called him Uncle Six, he did not dare to rely on his old age and said seriously: "Please rest assured, we have two battalions of soldiers on Kunlun Island and Fugui Island, and we have built permanent defenses."

The fortifications are equipped with various artillery pieces, more than a hundred in total. The airport on Conlun Island is equipped with two gunships and three reconnaissance aircraft all year round..."

Zhu Benchang talked about the various configurations of the two islands.

After hearing this, Du Fei muttered: "These troops and equipment are not enough. Transport planes are immediately dispatched to project troops to the front. The number of gunships in the front also needs to be increased. In addition, the bombers are on combat readiness to ensure that there are at least two behind the two islands.
To be continued...
