The train driver in the courtyard

At noon on the third day, the waves of the Black Sea, carrying a salty and fishy smell, beat against the deserted white sand beach.

Thirty-six Guards were deployed in a fan shape, with the safety pins of their guns glowing coldly under the scorching sun.

Five nautical miles away, patrol boats flying the hammer and sickle flag cut off all shipping lanes, and all civilian ship signals on the radar screen had long been erased.

Under the dark green awning, two middle-aged men in linen shorts reclined on teak lounge chairs.

The smoke from Cuban cigars and the strong aroma of iced vodka entangled in the air.

One of the men broke the silence first and said, "I'm sorry to trouble you about the Andre family kid."

The other one narrowed his eyes and smiled, "A young eagle has to fall a few times before it can learn to ride the wind. If you ask me, the fact that young Andre can build a huge trade network is quite similar to your style when you were young."

"This is all thanks to the support of us old guys."

"They are all our own sons and nephews. If we don't support them, who will?"

"My own nephew. That's a good way to put it."

One of them said "good" several times, and then said: "There is a little American Dieter in the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Old Xie, this is not your fault, it's because the enemy is too cunning."

"I'm so grateful that you can understand me." Another stood up and handed over a glass of wine. "The waves on the sea are getting stronger and stronger. Our boats are too small. We can only withstand the wind and waves by tying them together. What do you think?"

The veins on his right hand as he handed over the wine glass were bulging.

"Don't you understand my opinion?" One of them stood up, laughed twice, took the wine glass and clinked it with the other one.

They both drank it in one gulp and burst into laughter.

The wind and waves on the sea are getting stronger and stronger.

In the morning mist that had not yet dissipated, the carved wooden door of a villa in the suburbs of Minsk was slammed open.

"We're going to get rich, hahahaha, patriotic brothers, we're really going to get rich this time!"

Early in the morning, before the morning light had completely dispelled the chill of the night, Li Aiguo had just woken up from his sleep when Andre pushed open the door in a hurry, holding a document.

He walked a few steps to the bedside, pulled Li Aiguo up from the bed, and then placed the documents on the bed as if presenting a treasure.

"Approved! Those old idiots have stamped their approval!

"Moscow has approved our Andrei Trading Company's plan to establish the Red Star Computer Research Institute with the Beijing Computing Institute. As long as you approve it, we can do a great job."

Looking at the document signed by the Russian-Burkina Fatima Committee, Li Aiguo finally felt relieved.

In the original plan, Li Aiguo intended to play a gray area and have Andre Trading Company inject funds into Red Star Computer Institute through its branch in Dongda.

With this document, the Red Star Computer Research Institute has official endorsement from the Russians, and neither the introduction of talent nor the transportation of equipment will be hindered.

In particular, the Central and Eastern European Committee is still the highest leadership body of the Russians.

"Andre, isn't this a bit too big a title?"

"yes."

Andrei also sobered up from his excitement at this time, scratched his head and said, "This is not right. Even if the second uncle came forward, he is only a member of the presidium and does not have an advantage in the committee. In addition, the old guys in the Moscow Academy of Sciences are all well-established. How could they tolerate Andrei Trading Company getting involved in computer research?"

"Maybe someone gave Second Master some face." Li Aiguo yawned and said, "Andre, are you still going to stand here and watch me get dressed?"

"Tsk, I have everything you have, but I don't have this hobby. Get up quickly, let's go to Moscow today and complete the follow-up procedures."

Andre pouted and left the house.

Li Aiguo lifted the quilt and got out of bed. Juno, who was mopping the floor, quickly stood up, walked quickly to the closet, and took out a neatly ironed Zhongshan suit.

"The clothes were ironed yesterday." She carefully helped Li Aiguo put on his clothes, buttoned them up, hesitated for a moment, and ultimately did not speak. She just turned around silently and continued to do the chores in her hands.

At this time, a voice came from behind Juno.

"Last night, news came from Moscow that the professor's case had been investigated and it was discovered that he had made those inappropriate remarks under the inducement of others.

In line with the purpose of curing diseases and saving lives, Moscow has pardoned the professor's crimes.

He has already left the farm and it will take him five days to reach Moscow. You should go back too."

pat.

The towel fell to the ground, Juno's head was buzzing, and she almost jumped up with excitement.

Now that her husband has been rescued, she is going back to Moscow?
How is that possible? With so many people taken away every year, how many can come back?

Is my husband just lucky? No, that's impossible. Someone must have stepped in.
It was this Oriental man who helped me!

Juno raised her head to thank the Oriental man, but the door was open and the Oriental man had disappeared.

Juno hurried out of the room, but saw a car slowly driving out of the villa. The car was emitting a dazzling light under the sunlight.

Before going to Moscow, Li Aiguo had one more thing to do, which was to bring the personnel and equipment from the Minsk Institute to the University of Tokyo.

With special passes from Moscow, the computer equipment was quickly loaded onto the train.

Personnel transfers are a bit more troublesome. It takes two days to get a visa from the foreign affairs department. In addition, the researchers also need to say goodbye to their families.

Before leaving, Li Aiguo carefully checked the list again. There were twelve people in total, all of them were elites in the institute.

The list was handed over to the employees of Andrei's Minsk branch, who placed the drafted contracts in front of the researchers.

"Professor Gilotti, please sign your name here." An employee politely handed the contract to Professor Gilotti with a smile on his face.

Professor Gilotti took the contract, picked up the pen, and signed his name on it. As he handed the contract back, he asked, "Is Comrade Aiguo here? I want to talk to him about something."

"In the office. If you need anything, I can inform him for you." The staff knew that Li Aiguo valued Professor Gillotti very much and treated him very well.

"Thank you then."

After a while, Li Aiguo met the old professor.

The bruises on Professor Gillotti's face have not disappeared yet, and he looks a lot older, but he is in good spirits.

"Professor Gilotti, thank you very much for this matter." Li Aiguo poured him a cup of tea.

"This is what I should do. I'm just telling the truth." Professor Gillotti knew what Li Aiguo was referring to.

"Sometimes, telling the truth is harder than climbing to the sky." Li Aiguo sighed with emotion and then asked, "Mr. Professor, you came to see me in person. Is there something you want?"

"It's like this...my student, Fadeev." Professor Gillotti showed a trace of shame on his face, "Although he made a mistake, he was also forced to do so.

I saw that you removed him from the list. His skills are actually very good, but his mind is too impetuous.

Don't worry, as long as you allow him to go to the Red Star Computer Research Institute, I believe he will be able to correct those bad habits."

Fadeev's interrogation record was added to the archives as a real event, and he was pardoned by Moscow because of his "significant meritorious service".

Li Aiguo listened to the professor's words, pondered for a moment, took a sip of tea, and slowly said: "Professor, our Master Lu from Dongda once said, 'It is easy to move Mount Tai, but it is difficult to change people's hearts.'"

"Alas... I was not thoughtful enough and was too rash." Professor Gillotti also understood that the Red Star Computer Research Institute was located in Southeast University, and it would inevitably attract the attention of some interested parties.

Since Fadeev could betray once, he might betray a second time. It was indeed a bit unreasonable to ask Li Aiguo to accept him again.

Professor Gillotti returned to the Minsk Institute of Computer Science and began to sort out his previous manuscripts.

At this time, Fadeev opened the door and walked in: "Teacher, how is the situation? When can I leave for Dongda?"

"Fadeev, I'm sorry, Comrade Li Aiguo did not agree." Professor Gillotti put down the manuscript and sighed.

"What! He refused?! I'm the best researcher."

"Besides, there is nothing wrong with my confession! It was those people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs who made a mistake."

"Li Aiguo is trying to retaliate against me." "He is Xiao Meijiadit, I will go to Moscow to sue him!"

Fadeev gnashed his teeth, roared, then turned and ran out of the office.

The Minsk Institute has now been officially closed down due to a falling out with the Moscow Academy of Sciences, so those researchers who were not selected to the University of Tokyo can only be assigned to remote areas.

Fadeev considered himself a computer genius, so how could he tolerate such injustice?

After he returned to the office, he dialed the phone and connected to the Ministry of Internal Affairs' reporting line.

"Hello, I'm Fadeev from the Minsk Institute, I want to report Dieter."

After hanging up the phone, Fadeyev leaned back in his chair with a wicked smile on his face.

"Li Aiguo, Li Aiguo, I've given you a chance, but you didn't know how to seize it."

"Now you are courting death, so blame me for being rude."

Ten minutes later, there was a knock on the office door.

"Who?"

"Sir, did you make the call? We are here to verify the situation."

Well, the report must be made using real name, and it is normal for higher-ups to send someone to verify it.

Fadeev seemed to see Li Aiguo kneeling on the ground and being shot, and he stood up excitedly and opened the door.

Several Cheka officers wearing gray Zhongshan suits were standing outside the door, led by a woman.

Fadeev felt that the woman looked familiar, but for a moment he couldn't remember where he had seen her.

"What are you verifying? I've already made a statement, and you've taken it away." Fadeyev handed over his ID. "I cooperated with your work a while ago. You'll find out if you investigate. Arrest Li Aiguo quickly. If it's any later, he'll run away."

The woman did not take the certificate and said with a straight face: "The specific situation needs to be carefully checked. It is not convenient here. Please come with us."

"Oh, what a hassle. Just wait for me." Fadeev turned around, put on his coat, and was about to go out when he suddenly stared at the woman, "You, you are the leader of Group 2!"

At this time, Fadeev finally recognized that the woman was Berezhnaya from the Second Special Operations Team.

It was just that compared to before, Berezhnaya had put on eyeliner and lipstick, and looked a lot younger, so he didn't recognize her at first.

After recognizing Berezhnaya, Fadeev instinctively felt that something was wrong and turned around to run to the office.

Before Berezhnaya could give the order, several Chekas rushed forward like hungry wolves, pinned Fadeev to the ground, quickly handcuffed him, and stuffed a cloth ball into his mouth.

The commotion here at this time alarmed many researchers.

Berezhnaya explained: "This person is suspected of Dieter's activities, and now our internal affairs department wants to take him away for investigation."

When the researchers heard this, they were so scared that they hid aside.

"Mmmm" Fadeev wanted to shout for help, but no sound came out.

"take away!"

The Chekas escorted Berezhnaya out of the office building.

When passing by the director's office, Fadeev tried desperately to ask Professor Gillotti for help, but Professor Gillotti sighed, turned around and closed the door.

"This child is just too smart."

Professor Gilotti took down the group photo on the wall and threw it into the trash can.

On the other side, Fadeev had been taken to a car and a hood was put on him.

His mind was in a state of confusion, and Fadeev forced himself to calm down.

"Misunderstanding, this must be a misunderstanding. I am reporting Li Aiguo. Even if it is found to be a false accusation, the Ministry of Internal Affairs will not punish me."

"Yes, yes, yes, Fadeev, you are scaring yourself."

Thinking of this, Fadeev's expression calmed down. He took a deep breath and leaned back in the seat.

The car drove along, turning left and right, for a full half hour before it finally stopped.

"That will be explained in a moment."

When Fadeev was pushed out of the car, he had already started thinking about how to defend himself, but he soon realized that something was wrong.

Because there is the sound of rushing water around.

This is a river.

The other party took himself to the river!

What are they going to do?
"Your Majesty!"

A big foot kicked Fadeev on the knee, and Fadeev fell to his knees with a thump in pain.

At this time, his hood was taken off and the cloth strips in his mouth were also removed.

Looking at the rolling river in front of him, Fadeev's face turned pale with fear: "What a misunderstanding, it's Li Aiguo, Dieter is Li Aiguo, not me."

To Fadeev's surprise, the Chekas seemed not to have heard it and turned around and left, leaving only Berezhnaya and a man wearing a black hood.

There were two eye holes on the man's hood. Fadeev looked at him and felt that he looked familiar.

The moment the hood was pulled off, the black muzzle of the gun was reflected in Fadeev's blue pupils. When Fadeev saw the man's face, he was terrified as if he had seen a ghost: "It's you..."

The man said nothing, put his mask back on and turned away.

His shadow stretched very long in the moonlight, casting Fadeev completely into shadow.

Fadeev, who was in the dark, was so frightened that he couldn't speak, and could only make "ho ho" sounds.

"boom!"

With a gunshot, Fadeev fell into the rolling river and quickly disappeared in the waves.

Berezhnaya put the pistol back into her waist and said, "Comrade Train, the last tail has been cut off. I wish you a smooth operation."

The old Russian on the train really doesn't like to use his brain, the man complained in his mind and nodded at her.

"Stop wearing lipstick. It doesn't suit you."

The man turned around and got into a car, which sped away.

Berezhnaya stamped her feet and said, "What do you stinky men know?"

She quickly smiled shyly again: "He noticed that I was wearing makeup."

Berezhnaya was an orphan whose parents died in the war. She has lived in the army since she was old enough to understand.

There were no men or women there, and Berezhnaya always thought she was just a man with an organ missing.

Ever since I met him.

A mysterious agent.

The river next to them was surging, and Berezhnaya's mood was also surging.

I wish all my readers a happy Chinese New Year!
We train drivers are about to start a new chapter.

Thank you! (End of chapter)
