Anna from the Ministry of Internal Affairs went out, and Yang Mingzhi basically guessed what she would do.
Two hours later, Lubyan Kabelia's office.
The shrewd Beria has been staying here, waiting for the person who arranged to go to send back information.
Finally, the call came into his office. After hearing the report of the Kremlin's special supervisory team, Beria fully understood.
The whole scene was like an espionage war, but Yang Mingzhi was indeed not a Japanese spy. Due to his inherent prejudice, Beria naturally paid special attention to Yang Mingzhi, a de facto outsider.
Besides, this man had a very good relationship with Salinchkin, who took the initiative to go to the swamps for development. He was also a popular figure of Ponomarenko, the commander-in-chief of the guerrilla movement, and he also received special care from Stalin.
Regarding the development of the guerrilla movement, Beria actually played a big role. However, he was a man behind the scenes. One of his methods was to send a large number of grassroots political commissars and Communist Youth League members to the occupied areas.
Ponomarenko was responsible for the specific combat work of the guerrillas, while Beria was responsible for the psychological work of hundreds of thousands of guerrillas.
But Beria really lacks understanding of Yang Mingzhi, unless he can have a good relationship with Salinchkin. No! That is impossible, Salinchkin must get out of Moscow!
Now, it is obvious that Beria finally has a deeper understanding of Lieutenant General Berekov - this person is very witty, has a strong ability to observe people's emotions, and has a strong sense of counter-reconnaissance. That person
There were hidden devices in the wooden table, but they were not targeted at him alone. He was the only one who had seen through them over the years.
Perhaps, this is the reason why he was able to fight in the Pripet Swamp for a whole year. Without this insight, how could he still fight? He and his guerrilla zone had been surrounded by three German divisions as early as the beginning of the year.
It collapsed under the encirclement and suppression.
Obviously Belekov is not one of his own, and Beria is not stupid when it comes to big issues. He knows very well that his power comes from the recognition of his comrades in the Council of Ministers and the support of Stalin.
Stalin had nine personal guards. During dinner, these nine people and other security personnel stayed outside the door. If anything abnormal happened in the house, they could rush in immediately.
Beria felt that Berekov's behavior could be described as respectful, and the reply he gave him was a very truthful "no offense intended", which may be a kind of self-proof that humans and animals are harmless.
"Perhaps he doesn't want to interact with me or disturb me?" Beria said this, thinking about it is just continuing to dream.
After all, it was getting late, and everyone in the Lubyanka office building was off duty except for the night watchman.
The personnel responsible for monitoring will also be busy all night long, and some of them are capable people who understand Chinese, but their technical level is indeed average.
It is true that there is more than one eavesdropping device in the room. As for what secrets can be eavesdropped, no one is sure.
…
Now it can be said that the walls have ears. Yang Mingzhi, who was originally in an extremely good mood, felt depressed.
He simply smeared soap all over his body, washed it with hot water, and the necessary cleaning was done. A man's bath can usually be completed in a few minutes, and the same is true for Yang Mingzhi.
He used the soap and toothpaste on the damp wooden table without much surprise.
This is the Kremlin. Modern soap and toothpaste have been around for a long time. Even in the relatively closed Soviet Union, it makes sense that some places can supply high-end daily necessities. Toothpaste is also pressed into tin bars. A few decades later, the material was changed to the Soviet Union, and the shape did not change.
difference.
The creamy toothpaste was squeezed onto the bristle toothbrush, and Yang Mingzhi sniffed it with his nose.
"Lao Maozi is quite smart. This product must be produced in China, and fragrance must be added to the formula. Maybe it's rose essential oil?"
Toothpaste is really not a high-tech product. The tip of his tongue was filled with sweetness and his mouth was full of foam. He was suddenly in a trance, as if he was out of time!
For more than a year, I have never used toothpaste. I even clean my teeth with soap. What did Ponomarenko do? Since there is toothpaste and reliable toothbrushes in Moscow, why are they not on the airdrop catalog? Or is this thing genuine? Rare item?
After some slander, Ponomarenko himself must be in Moscow. After meeting him, will he have a word with him about this matter?
By the way, toothpaste and toothbrush are really good things. Its protective effect on teeth is often reflected when people get older. Only the effect of refreshing breath is really immediate.
My wife is beautiful, but the living conditions in the swamp are so poor. All kinds of junk have to be repaired and used. She faces a life of poverty.
In terms of food, the most stable supply is potatoes and fish. To be honest, the fish is really fishy. Because he loves her, Yang Mingzhi will not complain about his wife's long-standing mild bad breath. He really has no reason to complain, because his The situation is just as bad.
The hair, which needed careful trimming, was wonderfully cleansed, and the dirt and sludge on the scalp was swept away. The dead skin on the body was further removed by the burlap, and if there were any parasites on the body, they were now gone.
What makes Yang Mingzhi most happy is that he cleaned his mouth thoroughly for the first time. He kept brushing his teeth with a powerful brush, which almost wiped away the traces of smoking.
"Toothpaste is such a good thing. When I leave here at dawn, I will take all the toothpaste and toothbrushes with me. Comrade Stalin, please forgive my greed..."
After changing into a new set of underwear, Yang Mingzhi walked out of the wet bathroom toilet.
On the huge soft bed, a quiet girl got into bed, with the soft quilt covering her belly. She was holding a book and leaning against the sponge copy, reading quietly under the soft light of the wall lamp.
"Are you still energetic? I thought you just fell asleep on the bed."
"Of course I'm waiting for you." Yang Tao turned her cute head and smiled.
"It's better to put the books away. It seems that there are only a few books that you keep reading. I don't like you reading under the desk lamp. It will hurt your eyes and you will have to wear glasses in the end."
"Really? That's great. Brother, I also want to wear glasses. It will make me look more knowledgeable."
"You can pull it."
Yang Mingzhi stopped chatting, sat on the edge of the bed quickly, and took the opportunity to trim his toenails.
His actions attracted Star Tao's attention: "Huh? Where did you get the tool for cutting nails? Is it scissors?"
"It's just in the toilet, you didn't look carefully."
Of course, Yang Tao knew about pedicures, and she also knew that only men would accept this kind of service. Traditionally, men and women were not intimate with each other, so what should women do if their nails are long? Just find a way to polish them by yourself.
"Oh, how about... you... help me cut it too?"
Star Tao's words were a little shy, but her husband agreed happily. Look at his big hands directly reaching into the quilt, pulling one of his feet and pinching his ankle, and his dexterous nail clippers were already in action.
Cutting your wife's nails is a piece of cake, but rubbing her shoulders is even more important.
Yang Mingzhi held his wife's feet, carefully trimmed the toes, and muttered: "Xiao Tao, follow me and you will start to enjoy blessings now, and you will only enjoy endless blessings in the future."
"Yes... I understand. I will be obedient. I will do whatever you ask me to do."
"You must listen to me. I am the head of the family. I am not telling you this right now. Do you know what kind of life we are living?"
"Life? Of course it's a happy life."
"No." Putting down her foot and switching to the other, Yang Mingzhi continued: "This is called modern life! From now on, what we will live will be a modern life, which is definitely beyond your imagination. You will also be very
Adapt quickly and enjoy it.”
Carambola has heard the term "modernization" many times, and based on her little mind's understanding, it probably means a life of happiness, security, and no worries about food and drink. She really doesn't dare to expect too much. For example, what she experienced today felt like she was in a dream.
"Brother, you see we are living in the palace of the ancient Russian emperor. I saw a lot today and ate a lot."
"Yes! You bit into half of the cheesecake on the table and left it there. You girl, you are also starting to waste food."
"What! That stuff is so sour. After one bite, I don't want to eat it again." Star Fruit complained.
"Haha, maybe a few decades ago, the owner of this bed was a Russian princess! Now it is your girl's bed. Is it possible that you are also infected with the princess disease? It is better to be more frugal. It is a war period."
"Well, we'll be leaving tomorrow anyway, and the enjoyment we enjoyed today may not be there anymore."
"No." Yang Mingzhi suddenly spoke in Russian, "What is this? Modern life? No, our lives will only be better in the future. Besides, even if the palace decoration is beautiful, it does not belong to you or me, it belongs to the people
the property of."
When he said this, Yang Mingzhi deliberately increased his voice, as if he were shouting. Yang Tao was also awake, and her husband's words were meant for those with ears across the wall.
After saying that, he slapped her hard again, and all the toenail fragments were bounced off. Yang Mingzhi skillfully threw the nail clipper on the bedside table, skillfully got into the bed, and Carambola also very skillfully stuck to it, and gently
She rested her head on her husband's strong, strong but horribly scarred left arm.
She continued the topic: "Since this is a palace, where have all the previous nobles gone? Have they moved away?"
"No." Yang Mingzhi lowered his voice, "They are all dead and executed. The entire emperor's family, old and young, are all dead."
"This...is this true?"
"If this was the boudoir of a princess a few decades ago, I regret to tell you that the princess would have died long ago and been shot, even though she did not commit a crime. The princess and the prince were all executed."
When a dynasty changes, the new dynasty will kill the princes and ministers of the previous dynasty. This kind of behavior is reasonable. "I didn't expect that this kind of thing would happen in Russia."
"Yes, we are all small individuals. I seem to be very strong now. Once I lose Stalin's trust, our whole family might become prisoners. And the Tsar lost the trust of the people, and the innocent young princess also became a prisoner.
sinner."
"How sad."
"Perhaps this is a kind of helplessness. The Russians are not opposed to women becoming emperors. If the tsarist family has even the last princess left, even if it is very young, the army loyal to the nobles will elect their new queen and continue to fight.
.The civil war in Russia will be longer, and the Soviet Union is destined not to be like this. Alas, being born into a royal family is really sad sometimes."
What woman doesn’t have a princess dream? The pursuit of a better life is human instinct. When Star Tao entered the Kremlin, she was so shocked that she closed her eyes, and her little mind began to outline a wonderful picture of Mary Sue.
I was originally the daughter of an Orion, but now I enjoy the life of a noble, and I still live in the palace of the old arrogant and arrogant emperor of the past. Haha, what an honor.
But after listening to her husband's explanation, no matter how beautiful the palace was, she understood that it was not hers and was even a hot potato that she could not avoid.
Those "people's property" signs hanging everywhere obviously have a deeper chill. No official dares to risk the world's disapproval to occupy this palace. It is the people's property. Soviet citizens have the right to live here for one night.
Just one night.
She sighed...
Yang Mingzhi asked: "Are you sad for those who died?"
"No. Brother, you said that there will be a better life in the future. Look at many places in this palace that are plated with gold. Apart from the glasses, there are only silverware on the coffee table. They are really worth a lot of money. Am I a little superficial? You said that we
Life will be better than here. We can at least buy some high-end cups, high-end chairs, and this soft bed. Wouldn’t it cost a lot of money? Do you... do you have that much money? "
"Silly girl, anything that can be settled with money is nothing. Besides, we really have money now."
Star Tao's spiritual awareness is indeed limited. She is really just a person who survives in the cracks. She will never let go of happiness once she has grasped it. The key to happiness is not only relatives, but also money - ruble banknotes.
Money is really useless in the swamp, but it will be of great use in the city.
Yang Tao leaned close to her husband's ear: "How much is it? Not the few banknotes and change in the wooden box."
"Haha, just over one million rubles."
"What? How much did you say?"
"More than a million rubles."
"So many?!" Yang Tao was so shocked that he simply sat up.
She knew nothing about the private conversations between Yang Mingzhi and Stalin. She only knew that before the war broke out, she was a nurse in a military hospital, and her monthly allowance was up to fifty rubles.
At that time, fifty rubles was quite enough. Many daily necessities, although many of them were in limited supply, often cost less than one ruble.
One million rubles is my monthly allowance of 20,000 rubles, which is really a huge number.
She looked surprised. Yang Mingzhi really didn't expect that, and he tugged on her long hair that was unbraided and draped over her shoulders: "Don't be so surprised. Just lie down and stay still."
"Okay...brother...it's really...it's more than a million."
"You really are." Yang Mingzhi could already feel her trembling body, "Look, you are shocked. More than one million is the reward I earned. Winning so many battles and inventing so many weapons, I still feel rewarded
It’s less. My dear, don’t be surprised, you also have some money.”
"Me?!" Yang Tao was a little confused.
"Of course, you are a hero of the Soviet Union. You also killed 74 enemies. Your bonus is tens of thousands."
"Ah! Really?"
"Please keep your voice down, you're scaring me." He covered her mouth, and after she calmed down, Yang Mingzhi continued: "We are husband and wife, and you are also a woman with a financial foundation. You will soon have a
It’s a huge sum of money, I don’t care how it is spent, do you understand? As for my huge sum of money, let’s use it to realize our bright future. I estimate that we will be able to get this huge sum of money after dawn.” (To be continued)
