"Asia," Sokov asked as soon as he put down the phone: "Do you have any extra military uniforms there?" When he saw Asia nodding, he said to her in an orderly tone, "Then you quickly take the military uniforms and change them to Ajlina. She will go to the Army Command soon. You can't let her wear German uniforms all the time."
"Okay, I'll go now." Although Asia was dissatisfied with Sokov's words to herself in this tone, she still followed Sokov's order and returned to the base to get Ajelina's military uniform.
As soon as Asia left, Sokov's eyes swept to the other officers and soldiers in the room: "Everyone, I have something secret to talk to Comrade Ajelina, you can avoid it first." Hearing Sokov say this, all the officers and soldiers, including Potukin, stood up and walked out of the door without saying a word.
Seeing that only he and Asia were left in the house, Sokov asked, "A few months ago, when I was having dinner with my friend in a restaurant in Moscow, I saw a lady who came with Ai Guoren for dinner. If I was right, that lady who called herself Ai Na is you?"
"Yes, it's me." Ajelina did not deny Sokov's question, but nodded affirmatively: "This is the new name given to me by her superiors."
"Ajelina, or I should call you Aina." Sokov walked behind Ajelina, put his hands on her shoulders, and asked tentatively: "Can you tell me what the hell is going on without the leak?"
"That day you saw the person who appeared in the restaurant with me, nominally a diplomat, but in fact he was a German spy." Ajelina turned to look at Sokov and said, "The superior arranged me to approach him to invade the German army to obtain important information to our army through him."
Sokov felt a little incredible about Ajelina's superiors, allowing her to invade the German army in this way. If he hadn't seen her escape from the German army, he wouldn't believe that she had succeeded. Thinking of this, Sokov said with emotion: "It seems that you have succeeded."
"Yes," Ajelina nodded and replied, "I told him that my ancestors were a German nobleman who later immigrated to Ukraine and had several famous vineyards and wineries. Unfortunately, all this my family had was ruthlessly deprived by the Bolsheviks, and our parents died in poverty. I wanted to avenge my family and hoped to get his help."
Sokov left his hands off Ajlina's shoulder, walked to her opposite, sat down, looked at her and said, "I think this German spy must have investigated everything you said after he met you."
"You are right, he did investigate privately." A sweet smile appeared on Ajlina's face. "Ukraine is now occupied by ***. They can easily continue investigating the vineyards and wineries I mentioned. Then they will find that the owner of these industries is indeed a descendant of a Bavarian nobleman, and everything he owns was later confiscated by the Bolsheviks. Not only did the couple die in poverty, but their precious daughter Ai Na is also missing."
"Ajelina," although Ajelina was sitting in front of her, Sokov asked with lingering fear: "Have you ever wondered if the real Aina appeared during the period when you invaded the German army, would it bring you danger?"
"Misha, the superiors have considered all the issues you mentioned." Ajelina smiled sweetly at Sokov and said, "The real Aina died of typhoid fever a few years ago in Siberia. Therefore, the superiors were relieved and bold to let me replace her identity and contact the Germans."
"Even if you gain the trust of German spies and enter the German army through him, you will not be able to enter the vital department." Sokov looked at Ajelina sitting in front of him and continued to ask curiously: "If you are only in a general department, how can you obtain the important information that our army urgently needs?"
"When I first entered the German army, I served as the translator for a SS commando captain," Ajelina's expression suddenly became serious when she said this: "My duty is to appear all kinds of extremely secret interrogations, and torture the captured soldiers or civilians, and translate what they said in German."
Speaking of this, Agelina's eyes turned red, and she quickly picked up the teacup and took a sip of water to control her mood that was about to lose control. After a while, she spoke slowly and said: "I often attend various gatherings held by the Germans, sing old Bavarian songs for them, or play a few piano music by Beethoven and Bach. Over time, I became a little famous among the Germans. The new commander of the Second Army, Von Zalmut, also heard of me, so as soon as I took office, I transferred me to his headquarters, so I had the opportunity to obtain important information from the German army."
Sokov stood up and added some water to Ajlina's teacup, then asked, "Can you tell me about your liaison?"
Ajelina took the teacup and thanked Sokov in a low voice, and continued, "The person responsible for conveying information to me is a veteran who participated in World War I. One of his legs was blown off by shells when fighting with the Germans. Even if he had a prosthetic leg, it was very inconvenient to walk. Therefore, he could only stay in the shoe store where he was covering every day, waiting for me to deliver the collected information to my superiors and then send it to his superiors."
"You often go to shoe stores, but have you never attracted the attention of Germans?" Sokov asked. "Especially after he was arrested, did the Germans doubt you?"
"Every time I go to the shoe store, I go to repair my shoes." A smile appeared on Ajelina's face: "You also know that I have many social engagements and my shoes are worn very badly. It seems ordinary to go to the shoe store that often goes to and from the shoe store. Shortly after the liaison officer was arrested, I went to the shoe store again, but I met a secret policeman hiding inside. Fortunately, one of them knew me and knew that I often attended various cocktail parties. I thought I was really going to repair my shoes, so I didn't make things difficult for me."
Sokov listened to Ajelina telling her story and thought to himself: "If the liaison officer in charge of sending the newspaper was not arrested, perhaps Ajelina could continue to lurk among the enemy. Unfortunately, because of the two unscrupulous telegrams that had to be sent, her identity was suspected by the Germans, so that after she obtained more important information, she had to risk escape back."
"What will the Germans do next?" Sokov asked casually: "Are they going to do something in the direction of Stalingrad?"
As soon as he said that, Sokov realized that he had lost his words, because he saw the surprised expression on Ajelina's face. Just as he was thinking about how to make up for his lies, Potugin suddenly broke in from outside and said hurriedly: "Comrade Commander, I'm sorry to bother you. The army sent people have arrived and are outside at this moment."
"It's arrived so soon?" Sokov felt that he had not had a private chat with Ajelina for a long time. Unexpectedly, the people sent by the Army Command arrived. He hurriedly asked Portokin: "Chief of Staff, do you know who is here?"
"It's me, Major Sokov!" Before Portukin could answer, a man came in from outside and answered first: "I am Romanov, director of the Political Department of the Group Army."
Romanov and Sokov knew each other. After shaking hands and greetings for a few words, he came to Ajielina, looked up and down the other party, and said, "It turns out it's you, Comrade Ajielina, we're meeting again." As he said that, he stretched out his hand to Ajielina and added, "On behalf of all the commanders and fighters of the 16th Army, I welcome your return! Thank you for your valuable information."
When Sokov heard Romanov say this, he immediately remembered that a few months ago he picked up Ajelina from the Istrian camp and sent her back to Moscow. So when Romanov finished speaking, he asked tentatively: "Comrade Director, I want to ask, are you going to send Ajelina to the Front Command this time, or directly return to Moscow?"
"Major Sokov, since you did not clearly state the intelligence officer who returned with important intelligence when you reported, it was Comrade Ajlina." Romanov said to Sokov with a smile: "So I can only send her to the Front Command according to the procedures, and then the military commissioner Comrade Burganin will arrange a person to send her to Moscow."
Romanov turned to face Ajelina: "Comrade Ajelina, it's getting late, let's go."
Sokov accompanied Romanov, and Ajelina walked out of the command center. Seeing two jeeps parked in the open space outside, there were several powerful soldiers of Kong Wu standing next to the car. They were holding Popov submachine guns in their hands, and they were vigilantly observing the movements on all sides. As soon as they saw Romanov coming out, a lieutenant came over and asked him for instructions: "Comrade Director, are we going now?"
"Yes, let's go now." Romanov finished speaking, turned to Ajelina and said, "Comrade Ajelina, you and I will take a car!"
Just as Ajelina said goodbye to Sokov and was about to wait for the car, she suddenly heard someone shouting: "Wait a minute, Ajelina, wait a minute." Everyone turned their heads and looked at it, and saw that Athea was jogging all the way.
A soldier standing next to the jeep hurriedly stepped forward and stopped Asia. Seeing that Asia was stopped by the soldiers brought by Romanov, Sokov quickly said to him: "Comrade Soldier, this is the health care worker in the division, let her come over."
Unexpectedly, the warrior was unmoved after hearing Sokov's words, and just cast an inquiring look at Romanov. Seeing Romanov nodding in agreement, he turned his body to make way for Asia.
Asia came to Ajlina, handed her a military uniform in her hand, and said, "Ajlina, this military uniform is for you. Although it does not fit the German uniform you wear, it is our own military uniform after all."
