Of course, Country E has a clear understanding of regionalism and separatism, and must take certain precautions and always maintain sufficient troops in many places. This Vladivostok exercise is also intended to strengthen military control over the region.

Now that Karpov has taken the initiative to speak out about the "Far Eastern Republic", Ivan and Sherchenko must of course be more vigilant.

But this incident is still very puzzling, because Karpov's attitude is very clear. The ultimate goal is to pursue E Country's return to the throne of world hegemony. Based on his values, E Country's territory should continue to expand, so how can it cause division?

Sherchenko asked tentatively: "Why did you propose the Far Eastern Republic to Aphrola?"

"Call the phone quickly." Karpov did not answer, but shook his gun: "The phone was on hands-free, so that I could hear what Aphrola was saying, don't play tricks, don't think I don't want to shoot you."

Sherchenko glanced at Big Ivan, who nodded slightly, so Sherchenko called Aphrola.

The voice of the call just rang, and Aphrola answered: "Is there anything you have to do?"

Sherchenko asked back: "Where are you?"

"Maybe it in Canal City, Moscow, or the Andaman Sea..." Aphrola smiled sly: "I don't want any of you to know where I am."

Sherchenko was embarrassed: "Is that true?"

"Where are you?"

“Vladivostok.”

"Why did you go there?"

Sherchenko replied: "I am with Ivan."

"Is that true?" Aphrola seemed to have expected it: "It seems that something happened in Country E."

"Why do you say that?"

Aphrola's answer was still sly: "Guess."

"You are right, but something happened in Country E..." Sherchenko looked at Karpov, then slowly said: "Karpov secretly instructed the Tiger Shark to sank China's 877 submarine in the Arctic Circle. In other words, the Arctic Circle incident and the current tension between China and M were actually created by Karpov."

Sherchenko only said the name "Karpov", but did not say who the person was, but Avrola knew: "You are talking about the director of the General Administration of Military and Political Administration of the Ministry of National Defense."

"right."

"What then?" Aphrola asked with interest: "What about Kabinsky?"

"It's dead." Since Karpov didn't explain, how to explain Kabinsky's whereabouts, Serchenko made up a random statement: "It's not disclosed to the public at present, and an investigation is being conducted. It's probably because Karpov was murdered."

"No wonder he announced to the outside world that Kabinsky was exempted from his post as defense minister and appointed Karpov to succeed him. It turned out that it was because Kabinsky died..." Aphrola smiled and said, "Ivan should not know about Karpov's actions, right?"

"I didn't know it at first, but now I know it, and then mobilized the signal flag to capture Karpov." After pausing, Serchenko told Aphrora according to Karpov's explanation: "But the matter is not over yet. We found a complete set of plans in Karpov's office. Karpov's ultimate plan is to restore the Far Eastern Republic in Southern Siberia..."

"What?" Aphrola was quite surprised when he heard this: "He...remnly restore the Far Eastern Republic?"

"Yes." Sherchenko nodded: "Do you have any news?"

"How could I have news?" Aphrola said hurriedly: "You are not unaware. In recent years, I have been in the Andaman Sea and have not even set foot on the land of Country E. I have no idea about the affairs of Country E."

"But Kabinsky became the Minister of Defense after you left Country E. As for the General Administration of Military and Political Administration, it was the department that was established a few months ago..." Serchenko smiled meaningfully: "And you actually know that Kabinsky is the Minister of Defense and Karpov is the Director of the General Administration of Military and Political Administration."

"This is normal." Aphrola said for granted: "Everyone of the important federal officials is public. You can search online and it is not confidential."

"But you have to search for it before you know that if you don't care about Country E at all, why do you search for these things?"

Aphrola was a little impatient: "What the hell do you want to say?"

"Great Ivan is very worried about the Far Eastern Republic's plan and asked me to collect intelligence as much as possible, so I want to ask if you know." After a pause, Serchenko added: "Actually, you have been secretly paying attention to everything about E, and Chika has always had secret activities in E. You retain a very powerful intelligence channel, so I believe you must know something."

"I really don't know anything." Aphrola shook his head: "You don't know. As long as I step onto the land of Country E, I will definitely be shot to death. So what's the use of my concern about Country E?!"

"You really don't understand the Far Eastern Republic plan?"

"Of course I don't understand." Aphrola said for granted: "All my knowledge of this republic comes from history textbooks, and I don't know anything other than that."

"Okay." Sherchenko sighed: "I won't tell you for now, keep in touch."

Aphrola nodded: "Keep in touch."

Sherchenko hung up the phone and glanced at Karpov: "Are you satisfied?"

Karpov did not answer or look at Sherchenko, but stared at Sherchenko's cell phone in a daze.

"Speak!" Sherchenko was impatient: "I have called the phone. What do you want to say?"

After a while, Karpov came to his senses and turned his eyes to Serchenko: "Do you think what Aphrola said is normal?"

Sherchenko shook her head: "I can't comment."

"Aphrola repeatedly emphasized two things, one is that he does not care about the affairs of Country E, and the other is that he knows nothing about the Far Eastern Republic, but..." Karpov smiled coldly: "Aphrola knows that I am the Minister of Defense, which means he is very concerned about the political trend of Country E. Moreover, when Aphrola heard about the Far Eastern Republic, he was obviously surprised. If he really doesn't care about the affairs of Country E, whether it is the Far Eastern Republic or the establishment of the Siberian Federation, it has nothing to do with Aphrola, right?"

Sherchenko looked at Karpov's expression: "What the hell do you want to say?"

Karpov did not answer positively: "I think Avrora must know something."

Sherchenko asked: "What's going on in this Far Eastern Republic?"

Karpov still didn't answer, but just said, "You guys have a rest first, I'm going to work hard and there's still a lot of work."

At the same time, on Aphrola's side, after putting down the phone, Aphrola thought for a long time, and then called Cang Hao: "There has been a coup in Vladivostok, and Serchenko and Ivan of the Great should have lost their freedom. The coup's main messenger is probably the current defense minister Karpov..."

Cang Hao was quite surprised: "Why do you say that?"

Avrola repeated Sherchenko's phone call and then analyzed: "This call is very suspicious. First of all, Big Ivan is very repulsive to me. The one who fears the most is that I use Cheka to interfere in his affairs. Big Ivan knows that I know this very well. Therefore, Big Ivan will never let Sherchenko call me, because it will make Big Ivan lose control of the situation. Moreover, I definitely won't say anything. As long as I say it, it may expose Cheka's intelligence network in Country E. Big Ivan is also very clear about this. Since that is the case, there is no need to ask me."

Cang Hao asked with interest: "Cheka does have an intelligence network in Moscow?"

Avrola did not answer, but continued to analyze: "The second is why Sherchenko told me what happened in Vladivostok, it is completely unnecessary. When someone took the initiative to tell you something and you hadn't asked anything before, it's probably a matter of your words." Shaking his head, Avrola said: "With my relationship with Sherchenko, if Sherchenko wants to know, you can come and ask me directly, why bother such a bend?!"

Cang Hao smiled: "So you suspect that there was a coup there?"

"That's right." Aphrola said with great certainty: "Serchenko called me like this completely under coercion. In fact, he had already made a hint to me. Since Karpov was mentioned, there was no doubt that the coup was initiated by Karpov."

At this time, Cang Hao faced a choice whether to tell Aphrola whether he should tell Aphrola that he already knew about the coup. Cang Hao didn't want Aphrola to know too much, but then he thought, Aphrola would know sooner or later, because as long as Li Chong took action in Vladivostok, the news would be spread sooner or later. Moreover, Cang Hao was not sure what the relationship between Serchenko and Aphrola was. Perhaps after Serchenko lived free in the future, he would take the initiative to tell Aphrola. So Cang Hao decided to admit: "Serchenko called me, but although what you said was completely different, it showed many suspicious signs, so I also judged that there was indeed a coup there."

"What then?" Aphrola asked hurriedly: "Don't you take any measures?"

"Li Chong has organized a commando team and is on the way at this time..." Cang Hao told Aphrola: "According to the phone signal between me and Sherchenko, I have locked in the specific location of Sherchenko. After Li Chong arrives, he will use force to rescue him."

Aphrola doesn't know the specific location of Sherchenko at this moment: "What base is that?"

After Cang Hao locked the specific location of the base, he searched through Google Maps and roughly found out the specific situation of the base: "This is a naval base, facing the mountains and the sea. In front of it is a good harbor, and it is a deep-water port, so the submarine can drive in. The rear is still filled with not too high mountains, covered with primitive jungles. It should be said that the location is still very hidden." After pausing, Cang Hao said again: "The location of Serchenko is a building near the mountains behind the base. The question now is how Li Chong broke into the base, if the submarine is directly on the harbor.
