Chapter 67 God-given opportunity
"I once wanted to tell you something, but you didn't know how to polite..." Akirov sat on the chair in the interrogation room, still arrogant.
Selyosha and Churbanov stood outside the interrogation room and observed the inside through one-way glass. Both of them knew in their hearts that the interrogation was just a formality. Since Akirov was arrested, it was not Selyosha who had the final say whether it was round or flat.
"What are you going to do next?" Churbanov asked at Selyosha.
"What should I do? This guy is guilty, so we just need to leave it to the superiors to deal with it! We have picked out a lot of good things from his house, and those who are interested can stay by themselves!" Seryosha and Churbanov looked at each other, and then laughed happily.
Akirov's property is really not covered. There are hundreds of pure gold tableware alone. The gold bracelets, gold watches, and gold necklaces were found. The cash was as high as hundreds of millions of rubles. The three staff members counted them and didn't even order them. In addition, there were millions of dollars in foreign exchange, various high-end imported household appliances, imported furniture, etc. It took a lot of time just to complete the statistics. In addition, the investigation team also sent dozens of peacocks and dozens of lions to the Tashkent Zoo.
Regarding these stolen goods, Selyosha did not stop Churbanov from reaching out to them anymore. However, he suggested that Churbanov must transfer the money he possessed abroad with all means. When Churbanov asked Selyosha if there was a corresponding solution, Selyosha immediately took over the work and he wanted to clean the money for Churbanov.
...
A few days later, Rashidov's office was filled with people in the office building of the Uzbek Republic Party Committee. Everyone just sat there in silence, smoking, the room was filled with smoke, and the atmosphere was very depressing.
"Why don't you talk, are you all mute?" Rashidov said to the people in the room with dissatisfaction.
"Secretary! This Churbanov seems to be a real thing, and even the army has been called. I heard that many people died in Akirov's manor, and they will not deal with us like this!" An official said worriedly.
Everyone started to discuss again, and the room suddenly became messy. This made Rashidov even more upset. At this moment, Umarov, who had been silent, raised his hand and said he wanted to speak. Everyone suddenly became quiet and wanted to hear what the director of the Party Committee Office had.
Umarov saw everyone walking and staring at him, then put down his hand and began to speak. He said, "I don't know if you have noticed it. Since Churbanov asked me to bring back the money we gave him that day, he has not caused trouble for us. Don't you find it strange?"
As soon as Umarov said this, everyone fell into deep thought. It seemed that as Umarov said, the people in the investigation team did not hold on to this matter. Could it be that this is some hint?
"I found an interesting thing. They didn't take action against us, right? And Akirov is famous for being arrogant and not dealing with you with the secretary! Shouldn't we be happy to pick up this guy for us?" Umarov said, turning his gaze to Rashidov.
"What should we do? Will we continue to contact them?" Rashidov asked curiously.
"I think so!" Umarov replied.
...
Just when both sides were in a stalemate, an unexpected thing happened according to the established trajectory of history. On the night of October 27, 1981, a ship code-named U137 secretly sneaked into the sea near the Karlskrona Naval Base, and observed the actual combat effectiveness of the Swedish Navy's new anti-ship torpedo ffvtp42 at close range.
Although the u137 is an old-fashioned submarine built in the 1950s, it still occupies a place in the Red Navy. Captain Gushen is even more skilled and brave. In order to obtain first-hand information, Gushen ordered the u137 to bypass the reefs and drive straight into the waters around the 15-kilometer island near the Karlskrona Naval Base.
However, when u137 really came here, it was too late to regret it. The terrain here is complex and the waters are shallow and reefs are numerous, which is definitely not a good place to come. And what's more serious is that due to concerns about being discovered by the Swedish Navy, the helmsman on the submarine made a mistake in his busy operation and an unconscious operation error really drove the submarine to the reef mountain.
Gushen was immediately scared and sweated. After trying several times that he could not get out of the trap on his own, Captain Gushen had no choice but to inform Moscow of the situation here. An hour later, the first and second leaders of the Soviet security and intelligence departments knew about this matter, including Churbanov, who was the first deputy minister of the Ministry of the Interior and indirectly controlled 250,000 border troops.
However, when Churbanov received the telegram, he did not feel any anxiety, but was filled with joy and excitement. He still remembered what Seriosha said to him, and every move of the Soviets affected the sensitive and fragile nerves of the European financial market. Churbanov immediately woke up Seriosha. When Seriosha finished hearing this news, he felt the same as Churbanov. This was a god-given opportunity.
"Have I done all my foreign exchange?" Churbanov asked impatiently.
"Fortunately, it was done yesterday. You won't miss this rare opportunity!" Seriosha patted his chest and promised. He took out his satellite phone and began to contact Eva and Kalim. He urged the two of them anxiously on the phone: "Listen, go to the bank immediately, mortgage everything that can be mortgaged, and strive to get the maximum amount of funds. I want to do a big deal, don't say anything, don't ask anything. Go and do it immediately!"
"You always tell us what you want so much money!" Eva and Kalim asked in confusion.
"Listen, I want to short the Swedish Kroner! You go quickly, it will be too late!" Seriosha urged anxiously. Churbanov, who was standing aside, also stood nervously. Seriosha had just contacted the two lovers and directly answered Mikhail's phone number, and then said in an equally anxious tone: "Mikhail, don't ask anything, I'll do what I said earlier! Call all our foreign cash, and fight for an emergency credit of the Swiss Bank to get a maximum limit. You must be ready within an hour, go quickly!"
