Chapter 653 Andre's Two Commissions

With the loot filled in the cabin and the newly recruited sailors, the two ships set sail again. After five days of slow and leisurely sailing, the icebreaker Flathead arrived in Arkhangelsk, while the cruise ship Husky arrived one day later.

Port of Murmansk.

The reason why they have to be docked at two docks is naturally because of the tanks and self-propelled anti-aircraft guns installed in the cabin. If these things are transported to Murmansk Port, they may be picked up by Ludenko before they are even delivered from the ship.

Husband’s warning call. In order not to cause trouble for others, let alone myself, Arkhangelsk naturally became the best stop.

During World War II, this place was particularly prosperous because it was the port where aid supplies from the Allied countries entered the Soviet Union. However, after the end of World War II, or more accurately, after the disintegration of the Soviet Union, the place returned to its pre-World War II state, still exporting timber and related products.

industry as the focus.

Fortunately, there is already a branch line connecting the Siberian Railway. This is a big help to them. Taking advantage of the darkness, eight self-propelled anti-aircraft guns drove up to the dock from the closed cabin. Andre's people had been waiting here for a long time.

With their help, all the self-propelled anti-aircraft guns were loaded onto trailers and headed straight to the freight train station.

They will go in different directions on the railway lines that run through Russia. Some will be sent to Andrei's museum, some will be sent to Moldova via Ukraine, and some will be brought back with the two Shers.

The Man tanks, together with those trucks and jeeps, were sent directly to the radar station in Shiquan.

As for the farthest one, it will be sent across the entire Russia to Vladivostok, and then Huo Heng's ship will take it back to Southeast Asia and drive it into his own enhanced earth building.

After dealing with these still lethal war equipment, the icebreaker Pingtou Ge will take a short rest in Arkhangelsk for a few days. After the Husky cruise ship picks up the employees of the contractor Lao Zhang in Murmansk and starts the return journey, the two

The boat will return to the original route, wait for the thermonuclear lighthouse to repair the house, and then return to Vladivostok.

Although it takes a lot of time to go back and forth, some people can even make some extra money despite paying for it. Naturally, Lao Zhang doesn't mind organizing a luxury cruise team building for his employees.

After all the matters were taken care of, everyone went straight to the airport and took the plane arranged by Andrei in advance to go straight to Murmansk, which was also the receiving port for aid supplies from the Allied Powers in World War II.

The American Thanksgiving Day is only a few days away now. Instead of flying here and there, it is better to arrive in Murmansk in advance and wait to see the joke. And compared to the last time I stopped here after returning from Bennett Island, I was cautious.

This time, with the invitation letter stamped by the Ministry of National Defense, Shi Quan and others felt a lot more confident. But what surprised them was that an old man like Andre came to pick him up in person.

"Dad, why are you here?" Nasha exclaimed as soon as she got off her plane.

"Of course I'm here to pick you up." Andre made a kiss with his baby daughter, and then looked at Shi Quan and others with a smile, "Besides, you also gave me such a big gift, so I stopped by.

Meet you."

This arrogant old man... Shi Quan muttered to himself, but his face was filled with enthusiasm and he greeted Andre cordially.

"Come back with me first." The imposing old man Andre waved his hand, played with the compass handed down from his ancestors, and led everyone out of the airport.

All the members of the club were divided into several cars, and Andrei took them into the center of Murmansk, and finally parked in the parking lot behind a beautiful Stalin-style building.

After entering this old-looking building, Asak and others were led by Andre's entourage to rest elsewhere, while Shi Quan and several other core members followed them into a large meeting on the top floor.

room.

This conference room has tall and transparent glass on all sides, and there is a portrait of Stalin hanging on the wall facing the door. When He Tianlei, who finally came in, closed the door, Andre led Shi Quan and others to a window.

, pointing to the World War II monument at the end of the line of sight, and said, "After the aid supplies from the Americans arrive, they will be permanently parked under that monument."

"Mr. Andre, what's going on with the invitation to the ceremony?" Shi Quan couldn't help but ask.

"Although you gave me the honor of discovering this batch of materials, it's okay to fool the media who don't know the truth about this kind of thing, but you can't hide it from others at all."

Andre motioned for everyone to find a place to sit down. While Nasha and the girls were preparing coffee, he played with the compass in his hand and continued, "But after all, we have to save some face for the people of Yin country, so this time

Although the invitation letter for the arrival ceremony is issued by the Ministry of National Defense, it will mainly be organized by private organizations, so you don’t have to worry too much."

Compared to Big Ivan, who looked disappointed after hearing this, Shi Quan was slightly relieved. He really didn't want to participate in Mao Zi's official activities unless necessary, or to put it more bluntly, he really didn't want to interact with Russia.

dealing with politicians.

Why has he become more and more insecure every year in Russia? The reason is that he is worried about being noticed by those predatory barbarians? Don’t look at the friends he has made now, including Andrei and Valery

Lia, even Ludenkov and Mr. Vasily, the father of Ivan the Great, are among the top people in this country. But as the assets in his hands increase, his uneasiness becomes more and more serious.

Andre didn't notice the distracted Shi Quan. After taking the coffee from his baby daughter, he continued, "There is another thing to invite you to the ceremony this time."

"Any more commissions?" Da Iwan's voice, which sounded like a broken gong, immediately drew Shi Quan's attention back.

Andre smiled and nodded, "Not only is there a commission, but there are two commissions."

"What are you looking for this time?" Shi Quan suppressed his thoughts and asked.

"Speaking of which, these two commissions are related to the aid materials you discovered this time."

Andre shared a stack of photos on the table with everyone, "My people have already transferred supplies to the ship in the ice col on Schmidt Island. These are photos sent back by people on the scene. They are here

The Morgan's logbook was found in the cab of a truck filled with supplies."

Shi Quan picked up the photo and took a look. It was full of scrawled English, but fortunately the corresponding Russian translation had been pasted on the back of the photo. Several people present circulated the photos in turn, and at the same time listened to Ander

Strong explanation.

"According to the Morgan's voyage log, while drifting through the Franz Josef Land archipelago, they once saw fireworks signals floating off the coast of Salem Island from a distance, and at the same time faintly heard the sound of cannons.

But because the Morgan merchant ship had lost power and was too far away from Salem Island, they had no ability to go up and have a look. But they suspected that a merchant ship also from the PQ fleet might have sunk there, and there were people there.

Survived."

"Do you want us to find the sunken merchant ship?" Shi Quan asked, putting down the photo.

Andre nodded matter-of-factly, "That ship, or the corpse of the sailor who escaped to that island at that time will do."

Before Shi Quan could say anything, Nasha simply asked, "Dad, where's the reward? We can't accept a commission without reward."

"Of course there will be a reward." Andre sighed helplessly, "In addition to all the costs being borne by me, Yuri, what about the Leopard I used to trade Nasha's RV from you?

"

"Are you willing to trade the Panther for those things?"

Shi Quan secretly frowned. Andre, who was very rich in collecting items, was willing to take out the Panther. Presumably, the possible sunken ship would definitely bring more benefits. Then think of the upcoming event in the near future.

He already had a vague guess about the arrival ceremony of aid supplies.

But Andrei smiled and said nothing, "Before talking about the second commission, Yuri, how about we talk about the suicide note left by the American in your hand?"

"Are you interested in that suicide note?" Big Ivan seemed to have guessed what his father-in-law wanted to do, and the expression on his face became gloating.

"The Murmansk State Museum plans to permanently display the suicide note left by the American," Andrei was particularly candid. "That museum has a good relationship with me. If possible, how about letting it go to me?"

"No problem, I will hand it over to you even the thermos bottle containing the letter."

Shi Quan thought for a while and then happily agreed. He really didn't have much sense to keep the letter in his hand. The most suitable place for it to go is the museum exhibition cabinet. As for whether the letter will hit the Yin people after it is made public.

The faces of both Andre and Shi Quan were obviously full of expectations for this.

"I owe you another favor," Andre said solemnly.

"I hope this favor can last longer in your hands." Shi Quan joked and brought the topic back to the previous commission, "Mr. Andre, how long does it take to find the ship you just mentioned?

No requirements?"

"There's no need to be too hasty, as long as it's before the end of the day, you still have enough time."

Andre vaguely stipulated a broad time range and immediately shifted the topic to the second commission, "Now let's talk about the second commission. This commission actually comes from an American who will also attend the ceremony.

People. And coincidentally, his commission has something to do with you, China."

Seeing Shi Quan looking at him in confusion, Andre said with a smile, "Objectively speaking, during World War II, the Americans not only provided a large amount of military supplies and equipment to the Soviet Union, but also provided a large amount of anti-war supplies to China. Although they exaggerated

Although he did not play his role in World War II, he did contribute to the victory of World War II."

"Hump route?!" Shi Quan instantly guessed the meaning of the other party's words.

Andre smiled and nodded, "The person issuing the commission is not only one of the private representatives invited from the United States for this ceremony, but he is also a descendant of the pilots who flew the Camelback route back then, and is also my business partner. Yuri,
