Starting from 1950

Chapter 91 Big Brother's Support Equipment Arrives

Twilight Quadruple.

Weigong Street is located at the westernmost part of Tiexi District, with sparse streetlights and less dense housing than in the city center.

Xu Erma walked in the shadows the whole way, turning back every ten steps, until he arrived at the courtyard where they met.

"Meow~!" He imitated a cat's meow a few times.

A moment later, the gate opened a crack, he slipped inside, and the gate quickly closed again.

He had no idea that a dozen or so people were hiding in the nooks and crannies around the courtyard.

"Imitating a cat in heat in the dead of winter? This enemy agent isn't very professional," Su Yang whispered to Zhang Zhenguo.

Zhang Zhenguo's eyes gleamed with excitement. "He's inside. He's dressed like someone from our flour factory. This must be the mole. Everyone, get ready!"

The dozen or so guards around him did not respond; they simply silently released the safety on their pistols.

"Three, two, one! Action!"

At a command, two strong guards carried a miniature battering ram to the gate and slammed it down on the door.

"Snap!"

The wooden bolt snapped instantly!

"Group one, charge in! Group two, provide cover!" Zhang Zhenguo gestured towards the courtyard while holding his gun.

The six members of the best-skilled group filed in, followed closely by the second group.

Su Yang was about to go in when Zhang Zhenguo stopped him.

"You're meddling in the dark! Team Three is behind us; you and I will guard the front!"

Su Yang had no choice but to nod.

"Don't move!"

"Who are you people?"

"Hands up!"

"Bang! Bang! Bang..."

'

A series of gunshots rang out.

Before long, the guards brought out two men who were tied up.

One person glared fiercely at Zhang Zhenguo, while the other lowered his head.

"Reporting, Section Chief! There were a total of 5 enemy agents at this hideout. We killed 3 and captured 2. We suffered no casualties!"

"Well done!" Zhang Zhenguo praised, using his pistol to lift the chin of the man with his head down, and Su Yang shone his flashlight on him.

"It's you!"

Su Yang asked in surprise, then suddenly realized.

He recognized the man as Xu Erma from the moving team. Xu Erma was known for his fiery temper and his righteous indignation at the factory.

I didn't expect it to be all an act.

Zhang Zhenguo burst into laughter, "I knew it must be the moving crew!"

He was happy for Wang Cui.

If it turns out that the mole is from Workshop 1, Wang Cui will also be punished as a result.

"Call the three groups back and have them stay and search every brick and tile in this yard."

"Everyone else, take these two men and the body with me to the police station!" Zhang Zhenguo said, beaming.

Because of the need for secrecy, the flour factory's security department did not notify Captain Qian about this operation. Now that the person has been caught, they must proceed according to procedure.

The interrogation was conducted by the public security department, with the security department providing assistance.

Of course, Zhang Zhenguo's actions were not without an element of showing off.

After all, it's been less than 6 hours since this happened. The police are probably still sorting things out, but the security department has already taken down the enemy's hideout. That's certainly a source of pride for them.

Su Yang, on the other hand, felt rather bored. He had come all this way but hadn't fired a single shot. He looked up at the starry sky, waved his hand, and said, "Uncle Zhang, now that things are settled here, I'm going back to sleep."

"Let's go, let's go!"

Zhang Zhenguo was now preoccupied with how to show off to Lao Qian and his gang at the police station.

The incident involving enemy agents did not cause much of a stir in the Tiexi District.

Because ordinary people have encountered more of these kinds of things in the past two years.

After a few days of casual conversation, the public's attention was drawn to other matters.

At the Limin Flour Factory, it did not cause any major disturbance.

Only three days after the incident, a notice was posted on the bulletin board in front of the office building detailing the incident and its outcome.

The workers were quite surprised, never expecting that Xu Erma, such a "good person," was actually an enemy agent.

Many people applauded the killing of He Dazhuang on the spot.

The movers said this kid likes to slack off.

Some single female workers complained that He Dazhuang always liked to peek into the women's dormitory.

Zhang Dashan, the team leader in charge of moving the goods, was publicly criticized throughout the factory.

When Su Yang saw Captain Qian, he asked him a question.

According to Captain Qian, the person who was sent to the Public Security Bureau by Zhang Zhenguo along with Xu Erma was the enemy agent leader of Tiexi District.

He's supposedly a colonel.

However, before his escape, the bald man appointed countless officers and even a large number of generals.

This person isn't a big fish; we can only interrogate him slowly and see if we can dig out any big fish.

Anyway, the leader codenamed "Grey Rat" and Xu Erma are most likely going to be eating peanuts.

After hearing this, Su Yang simply curled his lip, muttered "Serves him right," and then forgot about it.

Natalia rested for a week before returning to the flour mill.

Several GAZ trucks also came with her.

"Good heavens! What kind of machines are these?!"

"It looks so shiny and bright, much nicer than the flour mill in our workshop!"

The truck was parked outside a workshop, and almost all the factory's cadres came to watch.

The higher-ups notified us yesterday that the equipment needed to be brought into the factory.

Workshop 1 didn't produce anything yesterday, but the workers weren't idle either.

Everyone spent the whole day dismantling the drying room in the workshop.

Natalia spotted Su Yang and Wu Xinxue standing on the outermost edge of the crowd, and walked towards them carrying two boxes.

The cadres and workers quickly made way for them.

Natalia walked over and did something that surprised everyone.

She first bowed solemnly to Su Yang, then held up the two boxes horizontally: "Thank you, Comrade Su Yang, for saving my life. Please accept these gifts."

"Ah!" Wu Xinxue jumped back in surprise.

Su Yang couldn't help but rub her forehead, thinking to herself, "As expected of a science and engineering girl, you can give gifts, but can't you give them privately?"

Seeing that he didn't speak, Natalia panicked and hurriedly opened a box.

But he lost his grip, and with a "crash," all sorts of odds and ends spilled onto the floor.

She quickly squatted down to pick it up, her face turning red with urgency.

The curious cadres and workers around them also got a clear look at the gifts, which included: children's picture books and comic books, a concealed nib fountain pen, a notebook with the mentor's portrait on it, candy, chocolate, etc.

Wu Xinxue subconsciously squatted down to help pick them up. Fortunately, there weren't many things, and the two of them quickly picked them up together.

Natalia quickly replied to her, "I also brought a gift for Comrade Wu."

After saying that, she opened another box and just took out a Soviet-style floral headscarf when Su Yang quickly stopped her: "Comrade Natalia, let's deal with business first. I'll accept the gift."

After saying that, he quickly took the two boxes and covered them up.

Natalia breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this, a faint smile appearing on her face. She then spoke a few words in Russian to the older engineers behind her.

Then he turned to Zhou Zheng, who had been watching eagerly, and said, "Factory Director Zhou, let the workers unload the equipment, but make sure they listen to our engineers."

Zhou Zheng nodded several times and quickly waved to the workers watching, saying, "Quick! Send a few strong and efficient workers!"

Wang Cui had already made all the arrangements, and the workers, unable to contain their excitement, chanted in unison as they carefully disassembled the ropes binding the equipment, laid out logs, and used simple hoisting tools under the guidance of the engineer.

The heavy machine parts made a dull thud when they hit the ground, causing it to tremble slightly.

Natalia, having successfully delivered the gift, felt as if a great burden had been lifted from her shoulders. When news of the assassination attempt reached her home country, her father summoned her back.

She has been staying at her home in the north for the past few days.

I must repay the life-saving grace.

Looking back, she gradually understood what it meant.

Su Yang's initiative to get closer to her was most likely due to Zhou Zheng's instructions to probe her identity; Zhou Zheng must already know her background.

But no matter what, the fact remains that Su Yang saved her life.

During his trip back to China, he also learned more comprehensive information from his father.

The emerging regime to their south made outstanding contributions to the entire camp on that battlefield.

Some equipment support is definitely necessary, but sooner or later it will be related to political reasons.

However, this is a major event between countries, and once the aid begins, the amount of resources and personnel invested by one's own country will be enormous.

In comparison, the equipment at Limin Flour Factory was just a drop in the ocean; whether or not it was given to him was entirely up to his father, Ivan Vasilyevich Sokolov.

Deputy Director Ivan was naturally willing to help his daughter repay the debt of saving his life, so he readily approved the equipment support application for Limin Flour Factory!

Natalia immediately threw herself into directing the unloading and equipment installation, while also acting as a translator.

"Cepreǔ, watch out for that counterweight! Use slings when removing it, and be careful of the hydraulic rods!"

"VBaH, first check the equipment list. Store the control panel of the tunnel baking machine separately to prevent it from colliding with other machines!"

"TOn, the blueprints! Give me the blueprints for the production line modification in Workshop 1!"

Zhou Zheng rubbed his hands excitedly, like a naive young boy visiting the city for the first time, circling around the huge machines that gleamed with a cold metallic luster in the sunlight.

Large multi-layer steamers, automatic dough sheeters, tunnel dryers, vacuum sealing units... I had only heard these names in reports before, but now they are truly right in front of me.

"Good! Excellent!" he exclaimed repeatedly, directing Wang Cui and the key workers of Workshop One: "Director Wang, tell all our comrades to be on their toes! Follow the engineer's instructions, move them wherever you tell them to move, and do them however you tell them to do them! These are our precious darlings!"
