Comrade Andrei Ivanovich Kolyuchkov had a long question mark in his head, but it was quickly relieved: the American media industry is extremely developed, and the bosses have a media empire, and perhaps in the past two years someone has turned up the news of Reagan's visit to the Soviet Union in 1988 and used it to hype.

The Soviet Union is gone, the CIS countries are in a mess, and the main successor, Russia, is in a lot of difficulties of its own, and the news media all over the world like to make fun of this, but the media in the southeast like to say that "the Russian people are living in dire straits", and those in the west are either gloating or putting on a posture of rescuers.

News, there is all kinds of messy content, some like to only play the latest revelations, and some like to compare and analyze the bricks.

It is possible that the boss himself or someone else saw the man in the photos attached to these "analysis reports", or it is possible that the boss recognized the old acquaintance in the news at that time in '88.

The owner is amazing, sometimes the memory is super bad, but more often the memory is super strong!

The fact that Zhang Nan and the "gray cardinal of St. Petersburg" can be regarded as old friends is not a secret in the inner circle, and it can only be said that their eyes are better.

The traditional concept of a gray cardinal in the West is probably a person who can cover the sky with one hand, but in the Soviet era this term specifically referred to Mikhail Andreevich Suslov, a person who got rid of Khrushchev and was in charge of Soviet ideology and ideology.

Suslov seems to have no reputation in later generations, but in fact, many people say that if he hadn't died at the age of 80 and could have lived for 10 years, or even five years, the Soviet Union would definitely not have collapsed, and Brother Map would be 100% played by the Gray Cardinal!

It's a pity that he died of old age, and then the super-big ship of the USSR went astray.

Now known as the "Gray Cardinal of St. Petersburg", that former KGB colonel is powerful enough!

For Andrei's surprise here, Zhang Nan will not explain that he knows it from the Internet, which will make the former KGB colonel not understand the magic of the Internet 20 years later.

Although the Internet already exists, even the "website" that future generations will not be able to do without has just appeared this year and has not yet been promoted, so how can he imagine that the Internet in the new century will be all-encompassing and strange.

One didn't think much about it, the other didn't want to explain it, and it was mysterious, and this led to the nearest stall.

The boss is a small Russian in his thirties, who is trying to keep a smile on his face, but he doesn't know how to say hello, and he can see that he is very stressed.

It's not a big ghost!

The old market is basically Russians doing business, everyone knows what happened when the market changed hands a few months ago, there are a lot of dead people here, and the new group of emperors kill people without blinking!

Today, the old market was closed from noon, and each family was given a $50 "lost time fee", which was very well-behaved, but all the merchants couldn't even make phone calls.

The security forces have been strengthened many times, and they are even more exaggerated than when Mr. President visited here before, and it is obvious that there is a rhythm of important people coming.

Sure enough, when people came, they recognized it as the super-rich American Chinese who occasionally appeared in the TV news.

The ruler of the market has warned all the vendors that apart from not stealing customers, everything must be the same as normal business, and if anyone has a problem, it is certain that they will get out of the market, and as for whether there is any other punishment, everyone thinks for themselves!

Solid warnings, without a bit of bells.

Then, a few words of conversation drifted into the stall owner's ears: English, I can basically get a few words of English to do business here recently, I need to make money, and foreign tourists have exploded.

"Boss", of course the stall owner of a gang of sub-market bosses understands this title, which makes it even more nervous The biggest gang leader in Russia is right in front of him, and he is still a Chinese!

Zhang Nan is also well-informed here, seeing the appearance of the boss and the owners of nearby stalls, plus the pomp and circumstance of today's closed market holding a special event, he can guess why

But I didn't say anything, and the hearts of the people below couldn't add to the hearts of others.

Let Charlize Theron and her nephew wander around the market, but the two of them still stick around themselves, maybe they think it would be more interesting.

With these two guys, probably think it's more interesting to follow yourself, which one has better collection technology?

The answer is right in front of you.

In front of me is a military-themed shop that mainly deals in souvenirs of the First and Second World Wars, with various medals and medals, as well as steel helmets, gas masks, bayonets, daggers, knives, binoculars and so on, and there are also a lot of them hanging on the inner wall at the same point on both sides, and there is even a one-meter-to-air rangefinder and two artillery mirrors in the Soviet era.

He smiled with the stall owner, but didn't speak, his eyes swept over the things on the stall, before Andre said that he had been informed that all the good things had to be put out, then these people who opened the door to do business would put the items in the most conspicuous position on the stall.

This glance swept over all kinds of medals, medals, and commemorative medals a little dazzling, according to the experience and habits of two lifetimes of buying things, first look at the big and then look at the small, eliminate the law, and don't open your mouth first.

Habit is also a rare pleasure.

I don't feel the glasses and cameras, and I don't bother to see which country's goods are the goods;

Steel helmets, military hats and other things don't bother to take a look, and I basically don't have the habit of wearing hats, which is even more burdensome.

It was noted that a nearly well-preserved Tsarist Russian dragoon M1881 Chasik cavalry knife with handguards and a German youth dagger of World War II were not bad.

There are still more than two dozen knives of all sizes lined up nearby, but they are all still in scabbards, and we will see them later.

Cold weapons, men like it.

The saber is long enough to be conspicuous, and as for the short sword of the Youth League, the "10,000 characters" on the handle are a bit eye-catching.

Since it is all pomp and circumstance now, Zhang Nan is too lazy to play small tricks like wanting to capture the old indulgence, and he doesn't need the stall owner's consent, he picks up the long cavalry knife and draws the knife out of the sheath.

The blade face is largely well preserved, with very little wear and no notches on the blade.

"What's the price?"

The stall owner understood the simple English question, and hurriedly said, "It's not expensive, $100." ”

This one is also quite slippery, and he has practiced.

"Well, it's not expensive. ”

The preservation is good, the price is OK, the number of Chasik cavalry knives is not large, and it is rare to have such a good image here, and it is not surprising that it is an ordinary Western tourist to come and flicker out of a price of 150 US dollars.

didn't bother to pay attention to the fact that the stall owner quoted in US dollars, if it was a change of ruble number, Zhang Nan didn't bother to calculate the exchange rate in his mind.

Putting away the knife, he handed it to his nephew who was looking at the short sword of the Third Imperial Youth League, and said, "This is for you, don't look at it, this handle is a little worn, it's not very interesting."

I have you picked it up, and there are basically sabers in Germany in World War II. ”
