The free market is relatively rich in supplies, everything you need to eat and drink, as long as you have enough money: the prices of basic necessities here are a cut higher than in the state-run shopping malls.

There were people in the corners who were doing underground work, and the gang was exchanging foreign currency and precious metals in private, as had been seen in other Soviet cities.

Alyosha went over in a big way, and asked these guarded people what the price of the dollar was.

As long as you don't take out too many dollars at once, no one here dares to beat his idea: a strong man wearing shoes nearly two meters high, or the kind with a horizontal face, even a fool can see that this guy is not easy to mess with, or the most difficult to mess with!

is not a good person, at least in the eyes of these people, he is not a police officer who sweeps the black market, he simply does not shy away from him, and there is no reason not to do the business that is sent to the door.

Last year, the official price was 1 to 0.9, and the ruble was still worth it, and this will be 1 to 3 in the black market: the ruble has actually depreciated more than ten times, but why is it still in the black market?

Bullying Alyosha doesn't know how to do it?

No, that's a fair price!

Depreciation, that's relative, the price of goods in the state-run shopping malls has not changed, but there are longer queues.

Coupled with the bank's restrictions on the amount of withdrawals and the lack of materials, the people began to distrust the money in their hands.

Prices, in fact, have not changed much.

This will hoard a little dollar to prevent a possible large-scale depreciation of the ruble in the future, and the common people actually have very little foreign exchange in their hands and cannot speculate.

The common people are not high-level, and those high-level people hoard a lot of foreign exchange to prevent the ruble in their hands from suddenly becoming waste paper one day.

Now the superficial situation in Soviet society is still low prices, especially for agricultural products, that is, in the formal market there is a need to queue, queue, queue again!

When the queue arrived, there wasn't much to buy.

Money can't buy enough necessities, which is also depreciation.

Prices have not increased much compared to two years ago, so for ordinary people, foreign exchange is not particularly useful.

The dollar is very important, and that's for those in power.

Alyosha didn't change much, just $180, or four crumpled $20 bills plus Franklin.

For money, because he fancy a car, able to sell the car.

He is a foreigner, and he lives in a nearby railway hotel, and people who do black market do not have to worry about him messing around.

He's the same, no guy would provoke a big guy who is not easy to mess with for more than a month's salary.

This amount of foreign exchange is just right.

And not only the car, Alyosha also had to buy some other things, people always had to eat, he didn't have much habit of waiting in long lines, and he didn't have that time.

Food prices in the free market are much higher than in the formal market, but at least there are no queues.

For many years, the supply of consumer goods in the Soviet Union was more unpredictable than the weather (at least the weather was predictable), and the Soviets had long since created a whole set of ways to deal with the situation.

Alyosha is a Chinese at heart, but these days he has struggled to adapt to the reality in front of him from the perspective of a traditional Soviet.

There's nothing wrong with having more money in your pocket: it's not that you have enough money to straighten up, but you don't know when you're going to spend it!

The Soviets were not short of money, at least for most of them (if they were taken out of the bank), but aside from unnecessary waste, "there is no place to spend it" is not an empty phrase.

As soon as a Soviet woman sees someone in line, her instinct is to get in, and she doesn't even know what is being sold.

As soon as they saw someone hurrying into the queue in front of them, it was natural for others to think that there must be something for sale that was worth lining up for.

As for what is sold, it doesn't matter;

At least when you're at the front, you'll know what's selling, and maybe someone in front of you will tell you before that.

But there were some things that you didn't need to queue up to buy in the USSR: heavy industry!

Alyosha does not have enough rubles on hand and cannot think of buying a Volga car, and even this will not be suitable for a new Lada, just because he is not from Kharkov.

Let's find a second-hand one.

But there is no used car in the free market, and even if there is, there is a transfer problem, and then ......

Shortly after entering the market, he saw his goal: a three-wheeled car.

The black Ural M72, well maintained, is right next to a stall selling black market liquor.

Twenty minutes later, the car was in Alyosha, and he was going to Finland on this familiar motorcycle.

As for the stall owners... Just get another one, motorcycles were not in demand in the Soviet Union.

It's summer, the Soviets are in vacation season, and there are many people who travel far away on motorcycles.

It's not common for a guy from northern Russia to buy a second-hand motorcycle in eastern Ukraine and ride it home, but it's not strange enough to make people particularly suspicious.

Alyosha bought an almost new second-hand trench coat in the market, goggles, gloves and an old-fashioned Red Army steel helmet that could be used as a safety helmet, and also bought an old-fashioned telescope, which was probably very attractive to hang around his neck.

No longer delayed, go back to the hotel, put on a windbreaker, take a backpack and leave the room, and set off.

Backpack bucket: The suitcase is shockproof, the top shockproof performance of military weapons, and it is estimated that it will be okay to smash it from the top of the fifth floor.

The Ural M72 was formerly known as the Nazi BMW R71, and Alyosha rode the Yangtze River 750, which was copied by China, with a displacement of more than 760 ml, and the sound was very imposing after starting.

Four forward gears plus a reverse gear, can reach a speed of 16 kilometers per hour when reverse, a very practical large-displacement motorcycle, is a little more fuel consumption.

But it doesn't matter, the USSR is not short of oil, and the rubles in Alyosha's pocket are enough for gas.

Entering Russia from eastern Ukraine, this is all the way to the north, more than 1,000 kilometers away, and it takes two and a half days to arrive.

Did not enter Leningrad, went directly to Vipri, not far from the border.

Staying in a resort hotel, because Alyosha saw a lot of Leningrad photo cars, it would not be too strange for this more unusual holiday guest to be here.

With his backpack in his room, he rode his motorcycle to the border area: as the four former agents had said, Finland was now a neutral country with good relations with the Soviet Union and NATO.

"God is too far away, the USSR is too close", the border between the two countries is long, Alyosha ran a few points, carefully observed with a telescope, and did not find any sentinels patrolling on both sides.

Barbed wire can only be regarded as a remnant, and there will be no minefields.

That night, Alyosha removed the license plate of his motorcycle, abandoned the car a few kilometers from the border line, and pushed the motorcycle into a small lake on the side of the road.

"It's a pity, it's a good car!"

Burn all unnecessary documents, cross the border on foot, and arrive in Imatra early the next morning.

Now he's an American, looking like he's going back to Helsinki on a hike.

Instead of taking public transport, Americans habitually find a taxi to get to Helsinki.

The driver was happy to charge dollars and dropped him straight to a nice hotel.

However, Alyosha did not stay here, waited for the car to leave, and changed to a hotel on foot.

Wait, wait, and after a few days again determined that there was no danger, then Thomas was contacted.

……

This will be in the underground warehouse of the manor, Guan Xingquan said about the suitcase.

“…… Put that?"

Nicole also came, and she, as the hostess, should know about it.

And then......

Before Zhang Nan could speak, Nicole said, "Allen, have you ever thought about getting a nuclear bomb?"

Zhang Nan smiled bitterly, "To be honest, I wanted to get one, but I never thought I could really get one." ”

"Bring it back, you only have one now, then you have to put it in the safest and most threatening place. Nicole paused, and then said, "I think the Empire State Building is good, and the whole of Manhattan and the whole of America will be our talisman."

When the rest of the Soviet Union is out, and then the boxes in the building are taken away, don't put it in New York. ”

If you want to control a super financial company, it's impossible to be ruthless!

One nuclear bomb is difficult to ride a tiger, and ten nuclear bombs are as stable as Mount Tai!
