Chapter 329: Evening on the outskirts of Moscow
Chapter 329: Night outside Moscow
The Boeing 747 engine slowly landed at Moscow International Airport in October. It was October, and most parts of China had just escaped the heat of summer and entered early autumn. However, due to the high latitude, the birch forests around the airport were yellowed, making it a scene of late autumn. Although the weather was slightly cold, the sky was high and the clouds were light, which was the most pleasant season of the year in Moscow.
Because Yang Xing and his party represented the Chinese side to participate in the first International Military Art Festival held in Russia, the Russian reception work was very thoughtful. As soon as the plane landed, the staff of the Russian side organized the company waited outside the airport to greet them early. Although Russia suffered a huge financial tsunami in August, causing the Russian ruble to depreciate, and the people's wealth was mostly lost in a blink of an eye, and the market was very depressed. However, the army, as the pillar of the country,
On the surface, they were not affected by the economic crisis. The staff drove them to a vast military camp outside Moscow, with all kinds of living facilities and traditional Russian delicacies for you to taste. Just after a short rest, everyone was excited to go to the historical city of Moscow to explore the secrets. As the first foreign military art troupe to arrive in Russia, Russia specially sent several translators to accompany everyone to visit the beautiful scenery of Moscow.
Yang Xing was nominally the leader of the delegation, but he had a special identity and shouldered a special mission. He first stood behind several leaders in a low-key manner, avoiding the eyes and ears of the Russian military reception staff, and secretly sent a leader in the delegation who was instructed by his superiors to leave alone. The leader had already received instructions to cooperate with Yang Xing and the others in the action, so he deliberately created some small chaos, allowing Yang Xing and Yu Aojun and special members like Xia Yujia in the delegation to secretly leave the military camp. Yang Xing and the others were trained to talk in Russian. After assigning the tasks, everyone dispersed. Among the passengers beside him, they gradually approached the agreed location of Lin Jiana.
Although Lin Jiana's chance of betraying Yang Xing is very small, just in case, these people are scattered around him. Moreover, the Russian military is always wary of Yang Xing and other colleagues. Another purpose of the translator sent was to monitor the delegation. In order not to attract attention, Yang Xing and Yu Aojun pretended to be a foreign couple and wandered around the streets of Moscow for a while until they made sure that there were no followers. They did not feel at ease to go to the location where Lin Jiana designated appointment - Moscow University.
It was Lin Jiana's suggestion to choose to meet at Moscow University. Yang Xing and his Eastern Host were very prominent on the streets of Moscow, where the eyes were full of blonde and blue-eyed people. Moscow University, as the institution that attracts the most foreign students, is mixed with people from all over the world, and they are not conspicuous when they walk inside. In a small cafe opened in Moscow University, the three finally sat together after the Indonesian battle.
Lin Jiana, who had been away for many days, still maintained the habit of hiding her true face. She wore a pair of large sunglasses and a golden wig, and put on her face with heavy makeup to cover up her amazing beauty. She looked at Yu Aojun's plump and round breasts and buttocks meaningfully, and asked with an ambiguous and sarcastic smile: "Long time no see, you won't make a fake come true, have you really 'sit' together?" Yu Aojun's face turned slightly red, and her competitors saw through her weaknesses, so she had to say to him: "Just take care of your own affairs. If you let us hurry up and rush over, you can't just go there in vain. That person is really here."
Lin Jiana smiled mysteriously and said to Yang Xing: "Don't worry, that person has arrived, but he just wants to see you, I will take you there later. That place will not be disturbed. As for Miss Yu and your subordinates, I guarantee your safety. Of course, I will not let you go for a waste. There is a gift for you here, which is very expensive. I just got it from a former official of the Gruu (Russian Military Intelligence Administration). If this financial crisis had not happened, he was anxious to use money. He would never take action on this thing."
Yu Aojun took a big kraft paper bag handed by Lin Jiana sceptically, took out a few pages of paper and looked at it a few glances, and his face changed drastically. It was obvious that Lin Jiana's gift was very important. She quickly put it away carefully and planned to contact the intelligence personnel around her to send the bag back to China immediately.
Yang Xing looked at Yu Aojun's expression similar to the expression he had when he first met Lin Jiana at the Hong Kong Viagra Hotel. Even the competitive mentality towards Lin Jiana disappeared. He thought that this spy queen had many tricks. She gave this gift and bought Yu Aojun, who had always disliked her. Thinking of the endless surprises she brought to him over the past year, although she did not obey her boss's command, she was also rude to him without being rude to him. He also smiled and handed Lin Jiana a check back.
Lin Jiana glanced at the numbers on the check and whistled. Obviously, the amount on it was a bit beyond her expectations. "Why are you so good today? You gave me such a big reward before you saw it? You don't have any ideas about me, you want me to have this little money!" She pretended to be a little daughter to Yang Xing. Yang Xing was covered in goose bumps when she saw her acting cute. Yang Xing, who had seen her killing people for a long time, dared not make fun of her, and quickly replied: "This is just my personal thank you to you. Last time I was on the front line of flood fighting, thanks to you who helped me get the Mi-26 helicopter. I remember this credit."
Yu Aojun said oh, and then remembered that on the day Yang Xing fell into the water, a large group of helicopters transporting large construction machinery flew over the sky. At that time, she was wondering when the Continental Airlines Group had the largest helicopters in the middle, which played an important role in blocking the Jiujiang break. But at that time, everyone was attracted by Premier Cheng Canghai and others who arrived randomly, and they did not pay more attention to the two giant-level helicopters. They never thought that they were created by Yang Xing through Lin Jiana's relationship, and they should be the "halo" of the Mi-26 developed by the former Soviet Union.
The Mi-26 "Hao" helicopter is a twin-engine superhelicopter developed by the Mili Design Bureau, a famous Soviet helicopter development unit, in the 1970s. It is also the world's largest size and load capacity to date. It has 8 rotors and can be transported to 20 tons at a time, which is equivalent to the load capacity of the American C-130 Hercules transport aircraft. No helicopter in the West can reach this level. Yang Xing considered that its huge load capacity could directly transport heavy construction machinery to the embankment to reduce rescue time, so he urgently purchased several such giants from Russia through Lin Jiana to respond to the emergency. The effect was indeed obvious, and no wonder Yang Xing wanted to reward him.
Lin Jiana did not refuse, and after receiving the check, he said to them: "That person agreed to meet you at the New Holy Mother Cemetery tonight. He will notify you of the specific time. For the sake of this gift, I will tell you a secret. He has a quirk. Let me talk to him about the good things about the former Soviet Union when we meet again and leave a good impression on him." Lin Jiana pretended to be mysterious, but the information revealed gave Yang Xing more knowledge about this mysterious man.
After discussion, Yu Aojun led his subordinates to retreat and had to deal with the information in her hands. It was still a while before dark. Yang Xing had never been to Moscow in his previous life. He had only learned some common sense about Moscow in his books for more than a month of intensive training. So Lin Jiana, a local beauty volunteered to become a guide and took him to continue to watch the streets and alleys of Moscow.
Unlike ordinary tourists, out of professional sensitivity, Yang Xing was not interested in the onion-shaped architectural structure of the Kremlin on the Red Square in the heart of Moscow and the ingenious Vasily Ascension Cathedral. Instead, he carefully observed the pedestrians and shops coming and going on the streets of Moscow. After a while, he concluded that it was obvious that Russia's financial crisis had spread to all levels of society, which was deserted from many shops, but the bank currency exchange points were crowded, and the common people
He wanted to take out his foreign exchange deposits and exchange the rubles in his hands as hard currency. However, the iron windows in these places were closed and no one responded. Angry people often smashed the storefronts of financial institutions in the street and attracted police to drive them away. In a country like Red Square, Yang Xing met a begging group composed of elderly people and children in just a few minutes. Many people stopped them in broad daylight, wanting to exchange foreign currencies, US dollars, Japanese yen, and German marks with them, but they just don't have rubles.
Lin Jiana followed him for a while and saw what Yang Xing was observing. As a Russian, she obviously felt uncomfortable when she saw her country's defeat. At this time, Yang Xing hummed a song that was well-known in the Soviet era, "Night outside Moscow" sung in China. She was sad and said in the scene: "The people of this country are going to abandon their currency. I wonder if this represents the beginning of the collapse of this country!" Yang Xing looked at her expression of regret, knowing that although this was her motherland.
, but obviously did not leave her a good impression, but seeing that the once-strong motherland was in decline, no ordinary Russian would feel good. So he comforted her with what he remembered: "Don't be too discouraged. Russia is a very resilient country. It has received countless natural disasters that are even heavier than it is now. It has survived. Now it is just a small setback in a short time. It has a vast land and a people who have struggled hard and never given up. Sooner or later, it will rise again."
Lin Jiana was not moved by his comfort, and continued with thoughts: "My feelings for it are very complicated, hated and loved. Sometimes I don't know whether to pray that it will be strong again or curse it to fall into hell forever. After all, the memories it leaves me make it difficult for me to fall in love with it. But when I thought I could leave here far away and be a stateless wandering warrior wandering around, and when I looked back at the tragic current situation here, I felt that every mountain and water here made me dream. My roots were always here and I wanted to do something for it. Am I very conflicted?"
