Chapter 1380 Neither Justice nor Morality
(Sorry, my child has a fever and has not been to school for the past two days, so the update has been affected.)
Subian was not stupid. When he heard Du Fei mention the volcano, his mind suddenly came to his senses. He looked at Du Fei in disbelief and said, "You...you want to use the eruption of the volcano to create panic, and then use the name of disaster relief to kill people." Shipped from Sulawesi?”
Whether it’s time to say it or not, Subian’s mind is really fast.
Du Fei nodded without hesitation and said: "That's what I mean~ When the time comes, you can find a way to negotiate with Sumatra and find a place to set up a camp. I don't need to teach you the next thing~"
Du Fei said it lightly, it was like putting an elephant in a refrigerator and putting it in several steps.
The first step is to open the refrigerator door, the second step is to put the elephant inside, and the third step is to close the refrigerator door.
It seems quite simple, and there is no logical problem at all, but if you think about it carefully, it is very wrong.
Subian frowned and said: "I'm afraid Mr. Du doesn't know something. The volcanoes on Sulawesi Island often erupt, and the locals have long been accustomed to it. I'm afraid...it's difficult to cause real panic."
Du Fei curled his lips disapprovingly: "Humans are social animals. There are few individuals who can think independently and are always accustomed to following the herd. When everyone believes that the power of this volcanic eruption will be unprecedented and will destroy the Sulawesi Island. "
"This..." Subian frowned and pondered.
Du Fei continued: "Tell me, if we stand up at this time, provide them with ships, provide shelter on the outer islands, let them take refuge, and tell them that they can come back later, what do you think these people will choose? ?"
Subian was completely silent, and couldn't help but put himself in his shoes, if he were an ordinary person, what choice would he make when faced with this situation?
Three people become tigers, and a crowd of people can make gold.
If it is true as Du Fei said, there will definitely be people on Sulawe Island who do not believe in evil, but there will also be a large number of people who choose to believe it.
That's enough for them.
Du Fei's purpose is to get most of the people away, and Subian's purpose is to get these people to Sumatra to cause trouble for those local factions and become bargaining chips in his hands.
Their eyes met, and they both saw a sudden coldness in the other's eyes.
As they discussed these issues, they did not for a moment consider what would happen to those on Sulawesi.
Psychologically, Du Fei does not have any burden. The so-called people who are not my race must have different hearts. Moreover, Sulawe Island is not under his rule, and the people on the island are not his subjects.
Not only that, Du Fei said half-way, poured a cup of tea to moisten his throat, and then said: "If it is reported again at this time that a large gold mine has been discovered somewhere in Sumatra, many people will become rich because of digging for gold. What will happen to wealth?”
Subian took a breath of air. With the threat of volcanic eruption and the lure of digging for gold, some of those who had stubbornly stayed on Sulawesi Island might be tempted.
And among these people, the vast majority will be young adults, and in the end, most of the people left on the island will be women and old people.
When the time comes, Du Fei can step by step and transfer some strong laborers from Borneo to fill the gap.
Just like American soldiers in England during World War II, when those English soldiers fighting outside came back, they found that what greeted them was not victory and honor, but colorful hats.
In this way, not only will the resistance to occupying Sulawesi Island be greatly weakened, but it will also alleviate the current imbalance of more men than women in Borneo.
It's just that this plan sounds good, but it's not that simple to implement.
The main step is how to create a sense of urgency for a volcanic eruption.
…
Two days later, radio broadcasts throughout India released a message: "According to the observations of the Guojia Volcanoes and Seismology Bureau, the activity of the Soputan volcano on Sulawesi Island suddenly intensified, and a large-scale eruption is likely to occur in the near future... …”
However, not many people took this kind of news seriously at all. People who were not local people just heard it and let it go. Even people who were local in Sulawesi didn't take it too seriously.
Because this volcano has always been an active volcano, the lava in the crater continues all year round, and eruptions are commonplace.
Major eruptions recorded in history also occur every few years or more than ten years.
Moreover, just like weather forecasting in this era, the prediction of volcanoes and earthquakes was a long-standing problem even before Du Fei crossed over. No one would take this news seriously.
Du Fei didn't expect it. This was just a wedge to let people have an impression of the volcanic eruption.
Next, it will be strengthened step by step until it creates a psychological shock.
The second step is for foreign monks to recite sutras.
At Kuching Airport, a small plane landed, and several blond and blue-eyed foreigners got off the plane.
The leader is a man in his early fifties, with curly hair, a big beard, gold-rimmed eyes, and an antique pipe in his hand... He has a trustworthy temperament. .
Behind him were three young people, two men and one woman, with serious expressions.
Wang Xiaodong, wearing a dark green military uniform, was standing next to a van. When he saw several people getting off the plane, he stepped forward to greet them.
"Hello, Mr. Dow Jones~" Wang Xiaodong stretched out his hand and actually spoke English. Although he had a heavy accent, it didn't prevent him from being understood.
Since arriving in Borneo, Wang Xiaodong has not only wallowed in the military camp, but also focused on learning English.
It's not that he has foresight, but Du Fei had talked to him before he went to New Oriental in China and mentioned it.
Wang Xiaodong remembered it and never gave up English. This time it came in handy.
Mr. Dow Jones on the opposite side immediately extended his hand and said with a smile: "Wang, hello, nice to meet you."
Wang Xiaodong nodded, greeted the other people, and got on the van parked next to them.
"Let's go to the film studio." Wang Xiaodong said to the driver, then took out a few photocopied books from his briefcase and handed one to each of them: "Here is the script, take a look."
Dow Jones took it and immediately flipped through it.
These people were actors invited by Du Fei from Hollywood.
Although they were all third-rate actors, they were cheap and their acting skills were good.
Soon, about half an hour later, the van arrived at the film studio.
Preparations had already been made here.
Dow Jones got off the car and had roughly read the script.
It's called a script, but it's just a few pages of paper.
Said to Wang Xiaodong: "Wang, this seems to be different from what Nilant said..."
Nilant is a Hollywood agent. Wang Xiaodong does not know this person, but that does not matter.
Wang Xiaodong said with a sinister look: "Do it for money, Mr. Dow Jones. If I were you, I would not have so many meaningless curiosity. It will not do you any good."
Dow Jones choked and said quickly: "I am very sorry."
Although he did not know what the other party was going to do, he could see that the young man in military uniform in front of him was not small.
Dow Jones also had some experience. He swallowed his saliva, shook the script and said: "From now on, I am Dr. Dow Jones, from the University of the American College of Volcanoes, and I am a senior expert in volcanoes and earthquakes."
Wang Xiaodong smiled and nodded: "Of course, Dr. Dow Jones, you are a scientist widely respected in the industry."
...
The next day, the Indian Guojia TV station broadcast a "news". Professor Dow Jones, a famous American volcanologist and seismologist, calculated with the world's most advanced instruments that the Soputan volcano on Sulawesi Island may usher in the largest eruption in history.
Volcanic activity can also cause large-scale crustal movement, triggering strong earthquakes and tsunamis.
Although not many people have TV sets at home in this era, this "news" itself is not for ordinary people to watch. The high-level officials of Sulawesi are the audience of this news.
They are often more sensitive and react faster than ordinary people.
It's not that they are so smart, but they have more resources and a lower threshold for taking action.
If you want more people to believe something, you must first let the people who occupy high positions in this group believe it.
And Du Fei sent people to hire these actors from America, and it didn't cost a total of 20,000 US dollars.
However, it should be said that these actors are indeed very skilled. Even if they are not famous, their acting skills are not ambiguous.
If Du Fei hadn't known the other party's background in advance, he would have almost believed that Dow Jones was really an expert from a certain university when he watched TV for the first time.
If the previous broadcast only gave people the impression of a volcanic eruption, the professor from America who appeared this time really made some people take it seriously.
At the same time, a ship arrived at Sulawesi Island, and a "scientific expedition team" of nearly 100 people led by Liu Kuangfu and Yang Zhigang arrived at the port.
At this time, the two were no longer the same as before. Liu Kuangfu had grown to 1.8 meters tall, and had been working in the army for many years, with fierce eyes and eyebrows.
Yang Zhigang had not grown much, and still looked the same, but more mature and stable.
Both of them now have high positions and are people that Du Fei trusts very much, so they have the opportunity to perform such tasks.
The two knew that the matter was of great importance and did not dare to take it lightly.
Because the port is quite close to the Soputan volcano, you can see the towering crater in the distance when you get off the ship.
The area around the volcano is completely bare, without any vegetation.
There are no villages or cities either.
This port is considered to be relatively close, but it only looks relatively close, and it is actually a dead horse running to the mountain.
Liu Kuangfu took out a cigarette and handed it to Yang Zhigang, lit it with a lighter, turned back to look at the sea and said: "Whether it is a mule or a horse this time depends on our performance."
Yang Zhigang exhaled a puff of smoke: "I don't know whether you are a mule or a horse, anyway, I am definitely a thousand-mile horse."
Liu Kuangfu was stunned, and then cursed "Get lost".
At this time, a local guide came over and said: "Captain Liu, Captain Yang, Mr. Suka is here."
Liu Kuangfu nodded, threw the cigarette he had just taken a few puffs on the ground and stepped on it: "Let's go and take a look."
This Mr. Suka was a person who was developed by the Intelligence Department of Kuching in Sulawesi early.
When Du Fei occupied Borneo again, he thought of expanding eastward in the future and buried a lot of nails in advance.
This kind of "nail" does not need to be very important, nor does it cost much money. The purpose is to cast a wide net. If you bury ten nails in advance, you will not lose if you can use one in the end.
This time, Liu Kuangfu and Yang Zhigong came here to investigate and detect volcanic activities, but in fact they came to stir up trouble.
Just one volcanic eruption is not enough to muddy the waters; more uncertainty, turmoil, contradictions, conflicts are needed...to make people panic and unable to think calmly.
Only when this state is reached can the internal pressure be increased. Once there is an opportunity to leave this isolated island, it will be like opening a pressure relief valve, and people will leave regardless of everything.
Du Fei knew that doing so was neither just nor moral.
But some things are like this, honey to me is poison to others.
Outside the hospital ward in Kuching, Du Fei stood in the corridor waiting for Zhu Li to give birth.
Having experienced a lot, he was not as nervous as a young boy. Besides, Zhu Li's physique has been strengthened, and there is no problem with normal childbirth.
An ultrasound was done before, and the baby's fetal position was very normal, and the weight was not particularly large, so the risk of childbirth was very small.
Even so, Du Fei couldn't help feeling uneasy, and subconsciously wanted to smoke, but he was worried about being in the hospital, so he held back.
Although no one would care about him, there was always a line in Du Fei's heart, and he could never cross the bottom line too recklessly.
Once that happened, he would no longer enjoy privileges, but would be controlled by privileges and desires.
Du Fei had reached the age of restraining his desires before he crossed over, but he became younger after crossing over, and his body functions and hormones changed his mentality.
After a while, a loud cry suddenly came from the delivery room.
Du Fei breathed a sigh of relief and immediately came to the door of the delivery room.
The obstetrician inside came out and said with a smile: "Congratulations, sir, it's a daughter, weighing seven pounds and eight taels."
Du Fei smiled.
Soon someone pushed Zhu Li out.
Zhu Li's cheeks were sweaty and her face was a little pale.
The child was placed next to her, looking around with wrinkled eyes.
Du Fei leaned over and kissed Zhu Li's forehead. Probably because he lowered his head to get close, the child suddenly cried.
But at this time, someone suddenly came up quickly from downstairs.
Hearing the sound of leather shoes knocking on the stairs, Du Fei frowned.
There was only Zhu Li on this floor. The one who came up now must be looking for them.
Sure enough, a few seconds later, Song Zhenzhu came up the stairs.
At this time, Zhu Li had been pushed into the ward next to her, and Du Fei slowed down and asked what was going on?
Song Zhenzhu said, "Sir, Prime Minister Chen just called and said there is a new situation in the north sea!"
Du Fei frowned. These days, he has focused his main energy on Sulawesi Island and has not paid much attention to the confrontation with South Vietnamese ships in the north.
According to the current situation, the other party does not have the ability to escalate the conflict, nor is it ready for combat.
As for the situation on Sulawesi Island, it is not something that can be achieved overnight.
The means currently prepared will take at least several months or even half a year to produce an effect. At that time, whether this big island can be taken will be the time to see the real results.
