I asked you to escape, but you became a soldier in World War II

Chapter 61 Embark on a new journey

A few days later, Lin Chen waited for the liaison officer again and took a small black leather suitcase from him.

In front of Lin Chen, the liaison officer opened the box. Lin Chen saw a bunch of U-boat structural drawings in the box. Needless to say, these drawings will bring great progress to the United States' submarine and anti-submarine technology.

In return, the United States will inevitably transfer corresponding "benefits" to the Soviet army.

Before leaving, the liaison officer told Lin Chen a good news that his superiors had assigned him an old partner.

Lin Chen hurriedly asked who it was. The liaison officer didn't say much, just threw out a sentence, "You have a lot of friends?"

He left in a hurry.

Carrying his belongings and some daily necessities, Lin Chen boarded a train heading east.

There were very few people on the train. Since Lin Chen was wearing casual clothes, outsiders thought he was just a young foreigner traveling east.

Under the guidance of the conductor, he came to his own single compartment on the train. Since it was a long-distance train, he had to choose a single compartment.

Fortunately, the conditions of the single room were not bad. After he had conducted a comprehensive and detailed inspection of the room, he dared to put down the box in his hand, and then sat by the window of the room to appreciate the unique northern scenery.

At this time, the door of the private room was knocked, and Lin Chen vigilantly pulled out his pistol and leaned against the door.

"Who?"

There were three knocks on the door.
Lin Chen understood that this was the secret signal the liaison officer told the assistant he sent.

When I opened the door, it turned out to be an old friend, Hanta from the Battle of Stalingrad.
"It's you?"

"It's you?"

The two of them shouted almost at the same time. It seemed that their superiors had not told Hanta the specific mission and Lin Chen's situation.

From Hanta, Lin Chen learned that most of the old friends who participated in the victory of the Battle of Stalingrad died in the subsequent counterattack. The German defense was still very solid, especially the masterful use of tactical counterattacks, which brought huge casualties to the Soviet army.

Fortunately, the Soviet reserve forces were incredibly powerful and were able to avoid the tragedy of being surrounded at the most critical moments every time. Therefore, although there were heavy casualties, the situation of being surrounded and annihilated in large numbers as in the early days of the Great Patriotic War did not occur.

Because of his many military achievements and the fact that he was one of the few surviving veterans, Hanta had already received a lot of medals and was promoted to sergeant.

After talking about the situation on his side, Hanta asked Lin Chen about his recent situation.

When he learned that Lin Chen was transferred to the White Sea Fleet, he was very surprised. How could there be such an operation?
However, thinking of the list of names of soldiers who defended Pavlov House in the Battle of Stalingrad that was made public, Hanta also understood that this might be a last resort.

He is just an ordinary soldier and cannot be commented on further.

When he heard that Lin Chen and others had gone deep into the Barents Sea and were engaging in thrilling submarine battles, he couldn't help but feel envious.

Lin Chen just smiled bitterly, "Life in the deep sea is really not a life for human beings. It's too hard. If I have a choice, I would rather choose the army on the shore."

Hanta is an orphan and has become more open-minded about things like war. After all, it's all fighting, and it might as well be a glorious death. Lin Chen doesn't argue about this. Everyone has his own way of living.

However, when he asked about what was in the box, Lin Chen just said that he didn't know, but one thing was that this thing was very important and must be handled with caution.

"Dong dong dong."

The door of the private room was knocked again.

"What's the matter?" Lin Chen was still very vigilant and took out his TT pistol. It was obviously impossible for him to bring a sniper rifle with him when he went out on a mission this time. "Deliver the meal, sir." The flight attendant outside the door answered politely.

When the door opened, it turned out to be a dining car.

The flight attendant handed over a bottle of vodka, two portions of barbecue, and two portions of bread.

Then he said, "Enjoy your meal," and left.

Apparently, their private room was booked directly by the military, so the meal must have been paid for.

Hanta was obviously very excited. Having been on the front line for a long time, he had never experienced such high-end train service, so he immediately started to tear the barbecue.

"Wait a moment!"

Lin Chen stopped him softly, walked to the door of the private room, and looked around for a while.

"How do you know there is no problem with the food?" Lin Chen was very cautious, because the liaison officer had made it very clear not to trust anyone along the way. What if the food had been tampered with?

Hanta was dumbfounded when he heard this. If he was asked to use knives and guns, he would probably say no without hesitation. But it was nonsense to consider whether a meal was poisonous.

"Wait for me a moment," Lin Chen took out a portion from the barbecue and bread, brought it to the pet area at the rear of the train, gave the food to them to try, and after waiting for a while, he returned to the private room.

"Eat it, and don't drink the wine." Lin Chen took out a big piece of bread and started chewing it.

"Why?" Hanta was quite puzzled, but considering Lin Chen's miraculous performance on the battlefield, he chose to obey.

"Because our mission this time is different from the previous ones. It is a war without the smoke of gunpowder. There may be many enemies watching us along the way. If the food cannot be guaranteed to be absolutely safe, we should not eat it." He tore off another large piece of barbecue and took a sip of the cold water in the cup.
"Hanta, there's nothing wrong with being cautious. Being cautious is the only secret to survival."

He explained to Hanta very seriously.

The train stops at many stations along the way, and after nightfall, there are many passengers getting on and off the train.

Just in case, Lin Chen and Hanta chose to take turns on duty, Lin Chen in the first half of the night and Hanta in the second half.

The entire carriage No. 7 is located in the middle and rear part of the train. There are 10 private rooms in total. Lin Chen and his friends are in carriage No. 7, adjacent to which are carriages No. 8 and 6.

After nightfall, there was no sound in Room 6, as if no one was there. Room 8 was obviously more lively, as if a family was going on a long journey, because there were sounds of children and elderly people playing.

Therefore, Lin Chen's focus was on private room No. 6. However, after listening to the wall for a long time, he heard no other sounds except the regular collision sounds caused by the rails under the carriage. Instead, he felt a little sleepy.

He shook his head vigorously, opened the window a little, let some cold air in, and forced himself to stay awake.

"Boom boom boom!"

Suddenly, someone knocked on the door,
"Who?"

"Send me a midnight snack!"

Lin Chen was very surprised. They didn't order any midnight snack.

"No, we're not hungry, thank you!"

The attendant outside the door confirmed with Lin Chen again and again, then pushed the cart away. Lin Chen couldn't help but laugh at himself, wondering if he was too nervous.
He had never worked in the intelligence field in his previous life, but he had taken some relevant courses. The instructor repeatedly instilled in him a concept: "Being cautious in life may be considered obsessive-compulsive, but in the covert field, being cautious will not only not lead to ridicule, but will make you live longer."
