Ignoring his wife's confusion, Yang Mingzhi took off all his medals, then folded his coat neatly and placed it flat on the stool.
Yang Mingzhi continued to kneel half-kneeling, paying attention to the entire coffee table and the strange protrusion.
Is this the only one that is suspicious? No! The entire coffee table is suspicious!
Yang Mingzhi noticed this luxuriously decorated white coffee table. It was fixed to the bedside and was really difficult to move. This type of furniture should be easy to move. There was no reason for the nobles in the Tsarist era to make a dead object and throw it here.
After careful observation, he found that the table legs were nailed, but there was no nail on one of the table legs.
Suddenly, a sense of enlightenment came to Yang Mingzhi's heart.
He turned his head: "Xiao Tao!"
"Um."
"Come here and have a glass of water."
"Um?"
Star Tao was even more puzzled. Since her husband called, she would go there. Besides, it was okay to drink a glass of water. She had just eaten so much meat, and she was indeed thirsty now.
She stood barefoot on the carpet. Yang Mingzhi pulled her down, deliberately leaned into her ear, and said nervously: "Honey, we...may be under surveillance."
"What?!" Yang Tao was about to scream, but his mouth was tightly covered by a big hand.
"Silly girl, stay calm!"
Yang Mingzhi gently let go of his hand, looked at his wife's surprised eyes, then tugged on her braid, and said softly: "Untie your hair tie, quickly."
Star Tao did not dare to neglect and handed the red-headed rope she brought from the swamp to her husband.
At this moment, Yang Mingzhi came up with a plan. He only took a few pieces of hemp fiber from the head rope, twisted it into a thin thread, and wrapped it around the target's wooden leg.
The Soviet Union in this time and space can indeed develop some black technology. As for making the bug the size of a button, it is really crazy. If this is just part of the components of the bug, there must be wires connected to the main body of the machine! Even, that so-called machine
The main body is in a secret room a few hundred meters away.
Since the wooden leg is not nailed, there will always be a gap between it and the floor.
Yang Mingzhi held the twine and gently passed it through the gap. Sure enough, an obstacle blocked the path of the thin thread. Then he wrapped the thin thread around the obstacle and everything became very clear.
The fact is before us, it is true!
"They are very smart, and I am not a fool." Yang Mingzhi complained softly, glanced at his wife, and then leaned into her ear: "They set a bug in the room. This table has been modified. We must be there tonight."
be careful."
"Brother! I... what should we do?"
"We will follow my plan and listen to me. But when you speak, you must be close to my ear and your voice must be soft."
There are no electrical appliances on the coffee table. Strangely, there is a universe inside the table legs, with a wire running through it.
Yang Mingzhi firmly believed that this was a bug, and it would be an honor to destroy it. However, once he did so, it would mean too many things.
All this is probably led by Beria, with Stalin's acquiescence, and has existed for many years. They are not targeting me, they should be targeting all the residents. I should not expose them. Knowing too much will become more and more detrimental to me. I
I cannot be an enemy of Beria, nor can I be an enemy of Stalin. I must pretend not to see it, and I cannot let these damn peepers know all my thoughts.
Yang Mingzhi thought this, and he shuddered even more. I'm afraid there are multiple bugs in this room.
Let’s just believe there is only one here!
Yang Mingzhi continued to take off his pants and fold them neatly. He even took the coat that his wife had thrown aside and folded the three pieces of clothing together.
The wooden stool was pressed against the legs of the table, with clothes piled on top of the stool, only touching the plastic protrusions at the lower end of the tabletop.
"With these obstacles, the sound it can receive should be weaker. No matter how low we speak, they won't know anything."
Yang Mingzhi felt that he had done a good job, and he also estimated that if someone was listening at this moment, they would definitely come in to check after discovering the abnormality.
Haha, if someone comes in by then, wouldn’t it be a shame?
Putting the spying bug aside in advance, the tired Yang Mingzhi just wanted to wash up and lie on the large soft bed with his equally tired wife. It would be best to talk to her about a huge sum of money and let the poor man who has been poor all his life.
My wife is happy.
If it weren't for the bugs, this former noble room would be really wonderful.
It is a real aristocratic living room, and can only be described as gorgeous. No wonder high-end hotels in the future will also build suites according to this specification.
But it seriously lacks high-tech equipment. There are no computers, no TVs, no audio equipment, and even no radios. Not to mention the information revolution, it seems that this place has just experienced an electrical appliance arm.
The ceiling crystal lamp and soft electric lighting spread soft light throughout the room.
There are also wall lamps hanging on both sides of the big bed. Press the rough button gently, and the soft green light will be crystal clear.
Star Tao quickly forgot about the bug, and her strong curiosity was attracted by the wall lamp.
She is just a child, so naive that she can turn on and off everything.
"Haha, brother, you see I can control the light."
"Curious?"
"So funny."
"You'll get used to it in the future." Yang Mingzhi shrugged and picked up his wife who was playing, "Let's go to the toilet and have a look. There seems to be bathing facilities there."
The world war had several embarrassing benefits, such as breaking the order of old Europe and forcing China, which had been at war for decades, to coalesce into an indestructible whole. It also strongly stimulated the development of science and technology, and all the warring powers hoped to use high-tech
Scientific and technological weapons enhance the country's combat effectiveness. However, scientific and technological innovations cannot help but occur in the military, and continue to bring about huge changes in all aspects.
After the war, huge population losses triggered a global baby boom. What caused this wave to explode violently came not only from human beings' biological instinct to reproduce in response to catastrophes, but also from the powerful development of medical technology and drugs.
Electrical equipment has also made great progress. With in-depth research on electron tubes and magnetrons, as well as the application of Turing machine principles, mankind has begun to accumulate strength. Only more than twenty years later, the door to the information age has finally opened.
There is no TV or radio here, but there are a few books, all of which are famous Soviet books with the main theme. To be honest, the few books are so same that they have even lost their function of killing boredom.
No matter how luxurious the decoration is, it would be plating with gold and silver everywhere, and the lack of entertainment will be extremely difficult for the residents.
Yang Mingzhi couldn't help feeling that the reason why a homebody is a homebody is because a computer has connected the entire world and he has become a member of the global village without leaving home.
Are there otakus and otakus in this time and space? Of course there are. They are either poor autistic patients or poor severely disabled people. At least the Soviet Union will not deny these patients' right to life.
For men, it is really fun for their wives to act coquettishly in their arms.
Now, Yang Mingzhi has seen some new scenes, which is hard not to surprise people.
There are water pipes here, and the amazing thing is that one faucet comes out with cold water, and the other faucet comes with hot water.
The so-called toilet might as well be called a bathroom, which gave Yang Mingzhi another sense of intimacy.
Since ancient times, it seems that only China can fire ceramics, because only China has discovered precious kaolin. In the industrial era, France accidentally discovered this special mineral, and then the United Kingdom and the United States also discovered kaolin.
The West began to produce its own ceramics, and used porcelain tiles to decorate the palaces and villas of nobles.
The former Tsar ordered a batch of porcelain tiles from France to decorate the Kremlin. It is not just a decoration, because it is waterproof and moisture-proof.
There is a large wooden bathtub carried on the floor tiles, which is not unusual.
There is only one thing that is particularly rare here - a flush toilet.
If you only look at the shape, Yang Mingzhi feels that it is clearly a product of the first century, but it appeared in the Kremlin in 1944.
Everyone has to go to the toilet. As for star fruit, she couldn't believe the effect of this thing.
"I...I actually...am I still a child?"
Yang Tao blushed instantly. Even though her husband was by her side, she still found it difficult to accept this fact.
Things that would become commonplace in the future era had a strong psychological impact on her. She had eaten too much today, and she did feel a little bloated and painful at the moment, but...
Yang Mingzhi didn't care about his wife's aggrieved and embarrassed expression at all. From his point of view, he couldn't go to the toilet sitting down. How normal is that?
Out of love for his wife and the principle of not using the hot water in vain, Yang Mingzhi pushed the bucket to the water pipe and installed two faucets, one hot and one cold.
"Brother! I...I'm really..."
It was said that the girl tried her best to keep her reserved appearance, but Yang Mingzhi only found it troublesome. After all, there was a difference between men and women. Yang Mingzhi rolled his eyes at her: "Don't be so silly. When you went to the toilet, you jumped into the water. Look at you. You're walking."
One day your whole body smells like sweat. You wash yourself and put on new clothes. Then you go out and I come in."
"Okay... okay... ugh..."
Yang Mingzhi didn't want to stay anymore, so he closed the wooden door and stayed in the room. After standing for a while and feeling bored, he walked into the open window and looked at Moscow in the distance through the small vent of the camouflage canvas.
rivers, and huge cities.
I saw that the lights in the city were still flickering, and more than a dozen searchlights were shining into the sky.
Without his glasses, Yang Mingzhi could not see far or clearly under the night sky. It seemed that there were dark clouds in the sky? No! They did not implement total light control, let alone put away the air-proof balloons!
"You old guys, sometimes you are really careless and careless, and sometimes you are too careful."
Yang Mingzhi shook his head, and suddenly the door was knocked three times.
"Comrade General! I am the waiter Anna, can I come in?"
The waiter, Anna, Yang Mingzhi, was thinking that when introducing each other before, a woman indeed called herself that.
This woman is by no means idle and must remain vigilant.
"What's the matter with you?" Yang Mingzhi asked through the door.
"That's it. I'll send you and your wife some late-night snacks, as well as your personal belongings?"
Personal belongings?! Yang Mingzhi slapped his forehead hard! The small suitcase has been thrown in the Lubyanka. Obviously, the contents must have been inspected by the guys from the Ministry of Internal Affairs according to the standard of checking every square centimeter. There is no blind spot.
Checked several times.
There are no secret items in the suitcase, but each item has great commemorative meaning.
"Okay, you can come in."
Yang Mingzhi unlocked the door and let the woman into the house.
Everything was as she said, the woman was indeed here to deliver a suitcase. She even brought a small basket with some small pieces of cake, honey jam in a small glass bottle, and a bottle of red wine in the large bottle.
It was impossible to be hungry. A glass of red wine would help with sleep. Yang Mingzhi guessed that this late-night snack was also specially arranged by Stalin.
However, late-night snacks and wooden boxes were by no means the main purpose of the woman. After Yang Mingzhi chatted with her for a few words, he deliberately retreated to the bed and sat down.
The woman aimed at the modified coffee table, and after placing the snacks in the basket, while putting the wooden box on the ground, she deliberately knocked her left knee on the stool piled with three pieces of clothing.
The clothes on the stool were very close to the receiving element of the bug, but when she knocked it, a small gap was exposed, so that there was no obstacle to the receiver.
This move couldn't be hidden from the corner of Yang Mingzhi's eyes. He stood up suddenly and instantly noticed the slightest change in the woman's expression.
The woman immediately changed the topic: "I heard the sound of water coming from the toilet, your wife..."
"Yes. She visited this great People's Palace for a long time today, and she was covered in sweat. Thank you Comrade Stalin for not only providing us with comfortable beds, but also for taking a bath before going to bed. I would also like to thank you for sending us
A bottle of red wine. I really like it."
The woman also smiled professionally: "This is our duty. I saw that you folded the clothes you changed neatly. Maybe they don't fit on the stool. If you don't mind..."
"No need." Yang Mingzhi became alert, but on the surface he was still refusing, "Just leave it here, we have to do things tomorrow. As a soldier, I should wear a military uniform, and as a soldier, I should never leave my body without a military uniform!"
"Alright alright……"
Maybe this woman has understood her hint, or maybe she doesn’t understand anything at all!
Yang Mingzhi scratched his head and talked about the table again: "I'm really happy that you put so many delicious midnight snacks on the table. Maybe my wife will want to eat some snacks after taking a bath. What if we move the table to
It's so romantic to drink red wine with the breeze blowing by the window. What do you think, we..."
"You want to move the table?!"
"Yes."
"No! You can't do this."
"Why?"
"This is the people's property. You..." The woman obviously hesitated, then firmly said, "You really can't move."
"It won't be damaged if you move it even a little. Besides, the light here is a bit dim. Wouldn't it be better to move the table to a brighter place?"
"I'm sorry, Comrade General! This is a rule, you can't do this."
"Since I am a general, I should have the right to move the table. Just move it a little." As he said that, Yang Mingzhi deliberately grabbed the two legs of the table and tried to drag it away.
The woman didn't show any weakness and grabbed the other two table legs, as if they were wrestling.
At this moment, Yang Mingzhi already had a clue in his mind. He deliberately made an impatient expression: "It's just moving the furniture. Since I live here, even if it's only for one night, don't I even have this basic right?"
"
"I'm sorry, Comrade General, we basically cannot guarantee your basic rights!"
Looking at this woman's expression and her tough attitude, Yang Mingzhi understood a lot of things.
"What? Could it be that Comrade Stalin issued the ban?"
"I'm really sorry, Comrade General, you really have no authority to do this. The NKVD is responsible for the security of the Kremlin, including all objects in the palace with the label 'People's Wealth'. If you move it, it is really illegal."
Behavior. Even your general will be fined."
"Really?!"
"That's it."
Yang Mingzhi let go of his hand, and the woman finally admitted that she was from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, so all the strange behaviors were explained.
It was entirely because she heard the commotion in the room that Yang Tao put on the bath towel and wrapped it completely from the neck down without any guidance. The wooden door opened a crack and she poked her little head out: "Brother, what are you guys doing?"
"Nothing? This sister is here to bring you supper." Yang Mingzhi said.
"Ah, thank you so much. I'll come out after I change my clothes." Yang Tao was filled with joy because she saw the delicious bread again through the crack in the door.
Star Tao's intervention eased the awkward and tense atmosphere. Of course, this girl had no idea that her husband and the waitress were already tacitly engaged in a secret war.
At this moment, the woman from the Ministry of Internal Affairs had nothing to say and bowed deeply: "I'm sorry, Comrade General, I lost my temper."
"I'm sorry, this is your job. Sorry, it seems that I really can't move this table. Just like this, you report it to your superiors and finally inform Comrade Beria. I, Belekov, are undoubtedly offended.
"Since this table is the property of the people, I will not touch it."
