After the Ka-60 helicopter landed in the steel plant, Pan Linna was taken to the interrogation room in the steel plant.
The White Swan Steel Plant occupies an area comparable to that of a huge industrial park, with seven levels of underground structures and a total length of passages of more than 30 kilometers.
These seven levels of underground structures are like an ant nest. They are not only interconnected but also complex in structure. If you go deep into it rashly, you will definitely get trapped in this huge underground maze and lose your way.
In this 7-story underground structure, there are not only warehouses for storing daily necessities, an arsenal for storing weapons and ammunition, but also a series of living facilities such as dormitories, toilets, and bathrooms.
This is also the reason why the Upenstein government forces were able to resist the Roman Ross federal army's attack at this steel plant for four months.
The interrogation room is located on the third floor of the underground structure of the steel plant.
The entire interrogation room is not only buried 15 meters underground, but also built with an all-steel structure.
After the Roman Ross Federation Army took control of the steel plant, a signal shielding layer was added to the original all-steel structure.
The entire interrogation room can be completely isolated from all electronic signals, including satellite signals.
Qin Shi and Oleg were in charge of Pan Linna's interrogation; while Karpacev was in the next room with the combat staff, watching the interrogation through the surveillance camera installed in the interrogation room.
Just watching the interrogation in the next room, in addition to Karpacev and his combat staff, there was an unexpected visitor.
The President of the Roman Ross Federation—Fokilar!
Fukilar came to the White Swan Steel Factory temporarily after learning about the infiltration and arrest operation at Kikonov's private estate. Karpacev, as the commander-in-chief of the Eastern Front Combat Forces, had no prior knowledge.
Fugilar was sitting in front of the monitor LCD screen, and behind him stood a group of Roman-Russian Federation Army officers, among whom the lowest-ranking ones were all senior colonels.
Facing the president who came from the Federal Security Service of Roman Ross, those generals did not even dare to take a breath, let alone sit down.
…
trial room.
Qin Shi and Oleg sat behind a table with a recorder on the table and a DVD beside the table; Pan Linna sat on a chair in front of the table.
Unlike the interrogation scenes seen in movies and TV series, Pan Linna had no handcuffs on her hands, no baffle on the chair, and no 100-watt lights shining on her face.
Pan Linna put her left hand on the back of the chair and sat casually on the chair.
Although this is an interrogation room, it is more like... chatting between Qin Shi and Pan Linna.
Yes.
chat.
If it weren't for Karpacev's request, Qin Shi would have wanted to find a more comfortable place to have this "chat."
It's really depressing to be in such a room.
"Yinlong, let's talk first. After I tell you what you want to know, how will you deal with me? This will help me to be mentally prepared." Pan Linna asked Qin Shi.
"This is not my place, I have no right to decide."
Qin Shi replied, "But I'm sure you won't be sent to Siberia to grow potatoes."
"As long as I don't go to Siberia, I'm afraid of the cold."
Pan Linna took back her hand that was resting on the back of the chair, crossed her legs, intertwined her fingers on her right leg, and asked Qin Shi, "Do you know the 'Gulag'?"
"Gulag? The 'Gulag' during the Commonwealth period?" Qin Shi asked Pan Linna in return.
"Yes, during the Federation period, the Federation government was responsible for managing the institutions of labor camps across the country." Pan Linna replied.
"Have a little understanding."
Qin Shi nodded and replied, "Gulag, Romanized 'g', is a branch of the former Commonwealth State Political Security Bureau and the NKVD, which performs labor reform, detention and other duties.
Although the Gulag was originally just the acronym of the Commonwealth Government, an operational branch that performs government functions, it covers all prison institutions of the Commonwealth Government.
They include special labor camps, penal camps, prisons for criminals and political prisoners, and settlement areas in penal colonies.
Writers and politicians in many Western countries also use "Gulag" as a general term that highly summarizes all prisoner-of-war concentration camps and labor camps in the history of the Commonwealth.
In addition, ‘Gulag’ is also used in aspects that have nothing to do with the joint concentration camp system, such as a self-enclosed country in Asia with a hereditary regime, which is also ridiculed as ‘Gulag’ by some people in Western countries.”
"Pah, pah, pah, pah, pah..."
Pan Linna applauded Qin Shi and said, "Yinlong is worthy of being a hidden dragon. He is knowledgeable and talented."
Qin Shi interrupted Pan Linna's praise of him and asked: "You mentioned the 'Gulag' because Igor, no, is the headquarters of the 'Skull Rose' in a concentration camp left behind by the former Commonwealth?
?”
"It's a terrible thing to be against someone as smart as you."
Pan Linna admitted Qin Shi's guess, looked at the silver flat flask on the table, and asked, "Is there any wine?"
Qin Shi picked up the flat wine flask and threw it to Pan Linna.
Pan Linna caught the flask, unscrewed the lid, took a sip, and said: "When the Mad King contacted me, the first place he asked me to go to was Polana.
After arriving in Polana, my head was covered again and I was taken by helicopter to an isolated island in the Bering Strait."
"An island in the Bering Strait?"
"That's right."
Pan Linna took another sip of wine and replied: "Of course, in the beginning, it was just my speculation based on the extremely low temperature on the island, the vast snow-covered landscape, and the helicopter taking off from Polana and landing on the isolated island.
But after returning to Upenstein, I consulted a lot of information based on the castle-like building I saw on the island, and finally confirmed my speculation.
During the Middle Ages, a monarch in the history of the Roman Rus Federation was preparing for an expedition to the American continent, so he spent a lot of manpower and material resources to build a castle on an island in the Bering Strait as the frontline headquarters for his expedition.
But before the castle was completed, the monarch died of illness, and the expedition plan to the American continent came to nothing.
Because the castle is deep in the Bering Strait, several other monarchs in the history of the Roman Rus Federation had no idea of taking over until the federation was established.
After the establishment of the Consortium, the Consortium government transformed the not-completed castle on the island into a concentration camp and handed it over to the "Gulag" for management.
Since this concentration camp was used to detain political felons, very few people knew about it inside the Gulag.
After the disintegration of the Federation, a large amount of information on the Gulag was lost, and the concentration camp became a completely forgotten existence. If it were not for the notes left by my father, I would not have known these things."
"So Igor set up the headquarters of 'Skull Rose' in that completely forgotten concentration camp?" Qin Shi asked. This chapter has been completed!
