"What is this?" Nicholas asked as he took the file bag, opened it and took out two photos.
“Found by accident”
Wei Ran stretched his body and explained, "According to my guess, the first photo should have been taken during the Battle of Berlin when General Weidelin, the commander of the Berlin city defense, surrendered. As for the other photo, I don't think I need it.
introduce."
"Red flag on the Capitol?" Nicholas asked with unquestionable certainty.
Wei Ran smiled, sat up straight and said, "To be more precise, perhaps it should be called the first Soviet red flag planted in the Capitol Building."
Nicholas stood up and walked to the desk by the window to sit down. After turning on the desk lamp, he took out his reading glasses and put them on. While looking at the two photos carefully, he asked, "Where did you find them?"
"I found it some time ago when I was investigating a veteran who had fought in Berlin." Wei Ran chased after him and looked at Nicholas with a burning gaze, "Do you think it could be the red flag in history that was not photographed?"
"Looking at the scene in the photo, it should have been taken at that time."
Nikolai pointed to the 88mm gun and the wreckage of the King Tiger tank that were faintly visible in the photo and said, "This 88mm gun is nothing, but the No. 304 King Tiger tank cannot be fake. But compared with the photo,
The content of this photo is obviously only recently developed.”
"What I found were negatives, and I developed the photos myself," Wei Ran said frankly.
"That Professor Alex seems to be more suitable than me to analyze the time when this photo was taken." Nikolai put the two photos back into the file bag and returned them to Weiyan, "So you didn't come to me to distinguish the photos.
Is it true or false?”
Wei Ran nodded, sat across from the desk and said, "Professor Alexei is indeed better at distinguishing the authenticity of these two photos than you, but he may not necessarily know better than you how to deal with these two photos."
Nicholas smiled, opened the gauze curtain next to the writing desk, pointed to the statue of Motherland outside the window and said, "If you are not short of money, sending it there is the wisest decision. If you are short of money, you can find
As a person who is not short of money, he will definitely be willing to buy it and then send it there."
“Money is not in short supply for the time being”
Wei Ran paused, then also moved his gaze to the huge statue outside the window, and calmly asked a realistic question, "But what can I gain by sending it there?"
After a moment of silence, Nicholas smiled and said equally calmly, "If you have made a decision, leave the rest to me."
"I'm sorry to trouble you." A smile appeared on Wei Ran's face, and he took out the USB flash drive he had prepared in advance from his pocket and placed it on the table, "This is the electronic version of the negative."
Nicholas picked up the USB flash drive and looked at it, then casually threw it into the drawer, "You are smarter than I thought."
"It's just a matter of getting what you need with the heroes on Mamayev Heights."
Wei Ran said frankly that he didn't know how precious that photo was, but just like Nicholas was worried when he gave him the off-road vehicle before, for now, a sufficiently glamorous public identity is what he needs most.
Nicholas changed the subject noncommittally, "Tell me about your life at the Hongqi Forest Farm. What have you learned?"
"A lot, but not much." Wei Ran briefly described his recent learning experience with a headache, and also mentioned Culp's strange request for him to learn musical instruments.
To his surprise, Nicholas frowned immediately after listening, but before he opened his mouth, he relaxed his brows again and said with a smile, "It is indeed necessary to learn some musical instruments. Every KGB
In addition to the bloody and violent side, agents must cultivate a strong artistic flavor to cover up the bloody smell on the other side.
Although you are not an agent, the necessary disguise is still very important, otherwise you might not have sent these two photos. So Victor, don’t take Culp’s request seriously, you’d better be more serious.
Maybe I'll go listen to your performance then."
"I'll try my best..."
Wei Ran replied with a grimace that he was just a musical idiot who couldn't even sing the national anthem out of tune. Originally, in order to cope with Culp's request, he had even bought a wooden fish used by monks online and planned to pass it off as a percussion instrument. But looking at it now
, I'm afraid I have to choose a serious Chinese musical instrument that can be used as a pretense to bluff others.
Without continuing the topic, the old man and the young man sat opposite each other on both sides of the desk and chatted about their experiences in Berlin the previous few days and the war stories recorded in the memoir manuscript.
When Jima came back with large bags of food, the three of them had a lively dinner, and then Wei Ran returned to the studio with Jima, who had been kicked out for snoring too loudly.
Behind them, Nikolai had already taken out his mobile phone and dialed the number of Hongqi Forest Farm while the two figures were blocked by buildings.
As soon as the call was connected, Nicholas asked directly, "Is there something wrong with his psychology?"
On the other end of the phone, teacher Dalia, who was applying a facial mask, immediately stood up and explained subconsciously, "According to the analysis results of the psychological test, there are indeed some problems, and we are already preparing to correct them by adjusting the curriculum."
"Tell me why?" Nicholas asked, sitting on the sofa next to the fireplace again.
After Dalia heard this, she quickly recounted the problems she had discovered before in detail, not even omitting the matter of Culp locking Weiran's small black room.
"Culp, this idiot," Nicholas muttered, and said without any doubt, "Teach them something else first, don't always let them stay in the Red Flag Forest Farm."
"clear!"
Teacher Dalia responded simply, then paused and asked tentatively, "Captain, he is just a Chinese, we need to..."
"You guys are idle anyway, aren't you?"
Nikolai said something perfunctory at first, and then said as if talking to himself, "It's been a long time since I met such an interesting little guy, so just do me a favor. The Soviet Union is gone anyway, even if he is a Chinese
What does it matter to people?”
Dalia softened her tone and said, "You are the captain, I will listen to you."
Simply hanging up the phone, Nicholas lay down directly on the soft sofa, and soon began to snore.
In the studio a few hundred meters away, Jima's eyes immediately glowed with green light after seeing the information of the client who would follow them to Inta next month, "Victor, you didn't lie to me?!"
Is it a girl?! All of them?"
"Put away your obscene expression"
Wei Ran took away the document from Jima's hand angrily, "You have to think carefully, this is the first batch of customers you have received from my aunt, and they are all my aunt's daughter's classmates. So if you do
If it’s smashed, maybe this will be the last batch of customers.”
"Don't worry!" Ji Ma immediately woke up and promised, patting her chest, "I will definitely provide them with the best service as if I were worshiping God!"
"I hope you will serve tourists who are willing to go to Inta like you serve God every time." Wei Ran reminded him very seriously, "As long as you screw up once, I'm afraid no one will want to go there again."
After hearing this, Jima also stopped joking and immediately took out his mobile phone and said, "I will contact Alili now to make preparations!"
"There's still nearly a month left." Wei Ran was too lazy to talk nonsense with this guy, and turned around and walked towards the bedroom, "You can find a place to lay the floor yourself, and remember to lock the rolling shutter door."
