Chapter 338: What Can I Do About This?
"Things are changing......"
The Spring Festival of 1986 has passed, and Hu Wenhai is now sitting on a plane to Romania.
Secretary Chi, the navy sent him to accompany Hu Wenhai this time. On the one hand, it is to absolutely guarantee Hu Wenhai's safety, and on the other hand, it is to preside over this transaction with KGB.
The KGB and the CIA, an old pair, have been competing with the whole world for nearly 30 years. Anywhere in the world, the mention of the three letters KGB has the power to make anyone tremble.
Hu Wenhai, who can almost be called a "national treasure" now, ventured into the control of the KGB this time, and the eyes of all insiders were focused on the navy. And the entire top brass of the navy, their eyes were focused on Secretary Chi. One can imagine how much pressure he will have.
However, Secretary Chi himself couldn't see the heavy responsibility at all. His calm gaze fell on Hu Wenhai, obviously full of certainty.
"It's likely that we're going to go not only to Romania, but also to London. Rolls-Royce is very interested in our ongoing Mirage Fighter Modification Program, as well as Spey's conversion to a gas turbine. Mr. Hu, since you have taken someone else's Rolls-Royce, you can't say it if you don't show your face. In addition to this, West Germany also needs to go once. Daimler-Benz acquired MTU last year, and the generators needed for our telex project were personally formulated by Mr. Hu to introduce MTU generator technology. ”
Hu Wenhai knocked on the table, shook his head and smiled: "Hehe, what the hell are the British trying to do to me." I don't know if it's a pit for Europe or for the Americans. Let's not talk about him first, MTU generator, it seems that I really want to go there myself. As for the Romanian side, I still have some ideas, maybe I won't leave so soon. ”
In his previous life, Hu Wenhai studied fab production management and IGBT technology at BYD, which had plans to cooperate with Daimler. As one of the key contributors, he is well aware of the commercial longevity and excellent performance of the MTU series generators. Whether it is an integrated all-electric fly-by-wire ship. Or the fly-by-wire locomotive that is about to be put into research and development, as well as the fly-by-wire heavy mining machinery and trucks, the MTU series generator has a comprehensive leading advantage.
Just for this one technology, Hu Wenhai is worth running like this.
"What?" Secretary Chi was slightly stunned. He asked, "What is Mr. Hu going to do in Romania?"
Hu Wenhai nodded: "With this idea, Romania is a country with an advantageous location. You see that the Soviet Union opened its doors to him because of the same camp, and we in China are also trying our best to fight for it. In addition, Western countries also look at it differently, and it can even produce British BAC1-11 regional airliners. It can be seen that the blockade of science and technology by Western countries is not strict. But on the other hand, this is a country that is even more scarce in supplies than in the USSR. Romanians have to wait in long queues to buy daily necessities. In order to repay his debts, Ceausescu can be said to have tightened every inch of his belt in the country. Secretary Chi, do you think, is such a country really suitable for something?"
Secretary Chi didn't seem to have reacted yet, and subconsciously shook his head and said, "Suitable, what to do?"
Hu Wenhai raised three fingers, bent them down one by one, and said: "Infiltration, control, and smuggling." ”
Secretary Chi frowned. Subconsciously objected: "Comrade Xiaohu, you want to ...... It's a mistake to make. Romania is a country in the ** camp, how can you interfere in the internal affairs of other countries. ”
Hu Wenhai couldn't help laughing, shook his head and said: "Secretary Chi, what I said, KGB and CIA don't know how many times in the world. Besides, I won't go into battle myself, every qiē is done by the people of KGB. As for me and us, we have only provided some 'ammunition'. The price of buying Romania is not too large, as long as a small country like this pulls over the light industrial products that cannot be sold in the Northeast. It's enough for them to eat. I intend to build Romania into a trade corridor between China and the Soviet Union, not just this one. ”
Secretary Chi shook his head in disbelief and said, "Sino-Soviet trade route? Soviet Union...... Will there be a need for our products?"
That's the Soviet Union, although life in the Soviet Union is not easy. But in the hearts of the Chinese, the Soviet Union is still one of the two poles of the world. The only superpower on Earth. It's like the United States has nothing to do with Chinese goods, will the USSR be interested in Chinese products?
Hu Wenhai nodded confidently and confidently: "That's right, the Soviets will go crazy for our products." ”
......
Bucharest, the capital of Romania.
When Hu Wenhai got off the plane, the first thing he saw was Korolev standing on the tarmac. He wears a heavy overcoat and a bearskin hat inlaid with shield and sword insignia, seen from a distance. It's almost like a black bear standing up.
On the huge tarmac, two Volga cars were parked next to Korolev. Other than that, there is not even a single superfluous person. I don't know if it's the KGB or the Jovovich family who have so much influence in Romania, but this way of playing is really stressful.
"Oh, my dear brother-in-law!"
When Korolev saw Hu Wenhai, he enthusiastically opened his hands and hugged him. What is surprising is that what he said in his mouth was a mouthful of half-baked Chinese!
With a snort, it was as if a big black bear had hugged Hu Wenhai in his arms, and then—haw, Korolev kissed him firmly on the face.
"Comrade Korolev!"
It took a lot of effort for Hu Wenhai to get out of Korolev's arms.
"Did you learn Chinese?"
"Of course, of course. In the future, we will be considered a family, how can I not understand what you say?" Korolev laughed: "My sister is already waiting in a hurry, you go to meet as a family first, and talk about other things later!"
After Korolev waved, two Volga cars drove over. Without saying a word, Korolev stuffed Huwenhai into the back seat of the first car.
"Wait, wait a minute!" Hu Wenhai hurriedly stepped back, looking for Secretary Chi who got off the plane with him. However, it was too late, and the world was turned upside down for a while, and his skills were the opponents of serious KGB agents, and he somehow managed to get to the back seat in the blink of an eye.
"Drive, drive!" Korolev urged the driver in Russian.
The car had just started when the door on the other side next to Hu Wenhai suddenly opened. Secretary Chi gasped slightly. One ass sat next to him.
"Mr. Hu, your brother-in-law is very enthusiastic. Come, give way, make room for me to sit. ”
Korolev hurriedly shouted: "This comrade. There are too many people sitting in the back, please go and do the car in the back!"
Secretary Chi smiled slightly, looked at Korolev across Hu Wenhai and nodded: "Okay, Comrade Hu Wenhai and I will sit in the car behind." ”
"No, no. My brother-in-law wants to ride in a car with me. ”
"Comrade Hu Wenhai is Chinese, we have foreign affairs discipline, of course, we are in the same car with me. ”
"I'm the master, aren't you Chinese lobbyists doing as the lord does?"
"We Chinese still have an old saying, call polite words you also take seriously?"
Hu Wenhai was embarrassed, and hurriedly pressed the two people with both hands, crying and laughing: "Okay, I see that the back seat of this car is quite spacious for three people, so there is no need to change the car." ”
"Hmph-"
looked at the two old men who turned their faces away. Hu Wenhai felt that his journey might not be so smooth.
But fortunately, probably after Secretary Chi got in the car, Korolev's original plan went bankrupt, and it was rare to be quiet along the way. Hu Wenhai ignored the careful thoughts of the two of them, and turned his head to look at the scenery outside the window. The land of Romania is not only full of exotic colors, but also the beauty of heaven and earth, and the scenery can be seen everywhere.
Most of the buildings in Romania are tall and magnificent, and they are richly decorated. Arches, Romanesque columns, and huge floor-to-ceiling windows characterize Romanian architecture. These elements work together. A sense of oldness, heaviness, and openness arises. Of course, many buildings in Romania do have a long history.
And after Ceausescu came to power, especially after he returned from a visit to North Korea, he also suffered from "pink eye of tall buildings". A large number of world-class buildings that are different from those of North Korea. Rose from the ground under Ceausescu's watchful eye. Influenced by this trend, new buildings in Romania generally pay more attention to the appearance design and grandeur and tall temperament.
Of course, for the sake of these external appearances, Hu Wenhai does not think much about how much cost will be paid, as a guest. At least as a tourist, Romania does have its own charm.
However, the car did not stop in the city of Bucharest. Passing through the city's main thoroughfares, the sparse houses of the suburbs are nowhere to be seen. Next to it, there were only withered winter trees, quickly receding in the car window.
Secretary Chi gradually frowned a little guardedly, and his gaze at Korolev was not very friendly. However, he also knows that it is now the home of the KGB, and he can only pray that the Soviets will not go too far.
Finally, after half an hour's drive, the car reached its destination. On the border of a savannah and forest, a wide road leads straight to a distant gate.
Behind the gate, Hu Wenhai seemed to see a castle with some hesitation!
And when the car drove through the gate and drove for a while, he saw what was in front of him - it was really a castle!
Although it is not a famous spot like Swan Castle, this castle that rises above the border of the plain and the forest is still incredibly beautiful.
Traditional Romanian architecture, rocks carved into rectangular strips of stone, cemented together.
Arched porticoes, semicircular staircases, and a fairytale castle-like attic spire.
Of course, hopefully there isn't a single amulet in the castle's basement that calls itself Marduk.
"Welcome, welcome my friend to Romania, to Paola Castle. ”
A man in his thirties with large sideburns and a double chin stood on the steps and enthusiastically opened his hands and shouted loudly at Korolev and Hu Wenhai.
"Niku Ceausescu, the youngest son of the honorable General Secretary Ceausescu, of course I know. Hu Wenhai hurriedly smiled, in Romania, you must not show any disrespect to the people of the Ceausescu family. Not to mention that this man, who had just visited China last year and was personally received by China's senior leaders.
Nikuziauscu is very tall, and even if he is judged by a more critical eye, he should be considered a more attractive man. Probably because of the long-term exercise, when he straightened his body, his momentum was quite good.
Hu Wenhai and Secretary Chi glanced at each other, but they didn't expect Korolev's energy to be so great. On the first day, Niku was able to stand on the steps and wait for them to arrive. You must know that Niku is Ceausescu's youngest son. However, he is recognized as the next generation of Romanian successors. This face is really too big.
"My friend Korolev, and my Chinese friends, welcome! I have been to China. It was a beautiful socialist country......"
Niku kindly took Korolev and Hu Wenhai's hands and smiled very kindly. After a long period of official writing, the two sides turned sideways and moved out of the way to the castle gate.
Korolev glanced at Secretary Chi proudly, and walked towards the castle with his head held high. Hu Wenhai and Secretary Chi had no choice but to smile bitterly and follow them.
Walk through the gates of the castle. It is a spacious hall. Korolev was stopped by Niku, and the two of them whispered a few words, and Niko walked to a room on his own. Korolev, on the other hand, turned around and beckoned to the side.
"Brother-in-law, Comrade Chi, you can go and see my sister first. I'll talk to Niku for a few words, and I'll come to you in a moment. ”
Hu Wenhai couldn't cry or laugh, nodded and said, "Dear Korolev, you can just call me by my name." The Chinese 'brother-in-law' is not what you use!"
"All right, brother-in-law. Korolev nodded: "I see." Brother-in-law. ”
Watching Korolev walk into Niku's room, Hu Wenhai had the opportunity to take a closer look at the interior of the castle.
"Distinguished guest, please come with me, this way. ”
Hu Wenhai walked into the castle, the decoration of the castle hall is not very luxurious, but the various details of the design make people feel very comfortable. A graceful young woman stood by the door, guiding Hu Wenhai and Secretary Chi in English, and by the way, she also introduced them to the origin and various allusions of the castle.
Paula's Castle is not an ancient building, but a personal holiday residence built by Antonescu, a Romanian ruler before World War II. After overthrowing the Nazi party in Romania in 1945, it was nationalized and became a recuperation ground for the country's top cadres.
By the time of Ceausescu. The castle simply became a base of activity for Niko.
When introducing the framed medals on the wall, Hu Wenhai suddenly stopped, looked the woman in front of him up and down, and couldn't help frowning.
"I'm sorry. I seem to have seen you somewhere. Excuse me, are you Comaneci?"
"Comaneci, Romanian gymnastics champion Comaneci?" Secretary Chi was a little surprised when he heard Hu Wenhai's question, and couldn't help but look at it curiously.
The woman nodded with an embarrassed wry smile, didn't say anything, but quickened her pace.
Seeing her like this, Hu Wenhai and Secretary Chi hurriedly closed their mouths. Obviously, the other side is not willing to talk about this issue more.
However, behind the woman, Hu Wenhai and Secretary Chi's eyes were criss-crossing, using a mode of communication that did not require words.
Comaneci, a legend of world gymnastics. At the age of 14, he won three gold medals at the Montreal Olympics and miraculously achieved the first perfect score of 10 in the history of world gymnastics. Since announcing her retirement in 1984, she has disappeared from the public eye. No one expected that she would become a "maid" in Niku's castle.
With a click, Comaneci pushed open a double door. At the end of the corridor, a side hall appeared in front of Hu Wenhai. Wool carpets, sky-blue wooden walls and crystal chandeliers, as well as beautiful personal chairs, sofas and coffee tables, gold-encrusted cabinets and silver tea sets......
Although Hu Wenhai has a lot of wealth, to be honest, he may be closer to the nouveau riche Americans in spirit, rather than the luxurious and exquisite European aristocratic spirit. It is said that three generations produce one nobleman, Hu Wenhai is at most three generations of poverty, three generations of workers, the third generation of growing under the red flag, and even the abbreviated red three generations, where have I seen such a world.
Even before he was reborn, there was probably no family in China that could play this tune, let alone seen it.
Don't say it's him, Secretary Chi is actually the same. In China, no one dares to play like this, and it is not easy for any offspring!
Comaneci stood in front of a door in the side hall and beckoned to Hu Wenhai: "Sir, your wife is here, please go in by yourself." ”
Hu Wenhai walked over with some excitement, put his hand on the doorknob, and felt that his heart was beating a little fast.
To be honest, there is something strange about his feelings for Yulia. To say how much the two love each other. Not necessarily. But Yulia gave birth to a daughter for him, perhaps her motives were not so pure, but it was the truth - she became the mother of his daughter.
With this layer of relationship, no matter what. Hu Wenhai can't do the kind of thing that he can't leave behind.
It took a lot of effort to see Yulia again. Now that he finally has a result, he is about to see his daughter and "wife", how can he not be excited?
Hu Wenhai's hand was slightly strained, and the doorknob was pressed downward. Click. The door lock is loosened. He pushed the door open and looked into the room.
Romanian-style oval floor-to-ceiling windows allow sunlight to shine into every corner of the room from the outside. Although it was the depths of winter, the warm temperature in the room was just right, making it feel like spring.
In a pure white room with a huge double bed in the middle. A beautiful woman, lying on her side on the bed, watching a baby sleep peacefully in her arms.
"Yulia—"
Hu Wenhai walked over lightly and softly shouted the name of the woman on the bed.
"Shh
Yulia frowned and looked at Hu Wenhai. Whispered: "Natalia just fell asleep, don't wake her up." ”
"No noise, no noise. Hu Wenhai smirked and nodded, took off his shoes, stepped on the ground barefoot and turned to the other side, and finally saw his daughter and-
Uh, a plump white.
The one in the back is not important, Hu Wenhai shook his head, and looked at Hu Naya who was sleeping with some greed.
Hu Naya, who had been sleeping quietly for more than ten months, seemed to be dreaming about something. Occasionally, I will make a fuss. Long eyelashes and a white complexion are obviously inherited from Yulia's excellent genes. With black hair and a face, it seems to look more like Hu Wenhai when you look closely.
Cute little dot to see her. Hu Wenhai let out a sigh of relief, and it seemed that the qiē he had done had meaning.
"Alright, let's go out and talk. Yulia got up gently, covered Natalia with a thin quilt, and then motioned for Hu Wenhai to go out to the side hall to talk.
Hu Wenhai nodded, and finally glanced at Hu Naya again with some reluctance. Then he turned and walked out the door.
Hu Wenhai sat on the sofa in the side hall, and Yulia sat beside him unrelentingly, half leaning on him, her eyes flashing.
"My dear, my children and I miss you very much, will you come to the Soviet Union? My family will let your talents be brought into greater play! With your contributions, if you are in the Soviet Union, you will have no problem being a member of the Central Committee! But if you look at China, you can't even meet the faces of high-ranking officials!"
"Ahem—"
Secretary Chi coughed twice, rushed in front of Hu Wenhai and replied: "Comrade Natalia, Hu Wenhai's talent has not been buried in China, and we support him to contribute to the country." As for the issue of senior officials, that's their own national situation—"
Seeing well-known figures in history, I'm afraid this book won't live for more than two days!
"I don't care, my dear, you're already a citizen of the Soviet Union!" Natalia opened a certificate from nowhere. I saw that on the certificate, Hu Wenhai and Natalia stood happily together, although they didn't know Russian, anyone could see that this was not a genuine marriage certificate!
Yulia said proudly: "You married a Soviet girl, and now you are also a citizen of the Soviet Union!"
"I protest that China does not recognize dual citizenship!" Secretary Chi shouted angrily.
Yulia kissed Hu Wenhai on the face excitedly, and almost jumped up: "That's great, my dear will only be a Soviet citizen in the future!"
Secretary Chi hurriedly explained: "No, I mean, you guys are breaking the law!"
Yulia suddenly burst into tears and looked at Hu Wenhai aggrievedly: "My dear, our child is sleeping peacefully in the room, are you going to let her lose her father?"
"Comrade Hu Wenhai, this is a matter of principle, you have to think clearly!"
"I ......"
Hu Wenhai wants to cry without tears, and others have to open a big harem when they are reborn. How did you get to me, Nima even struggled so hard!
Look left, look right, what can I do? (To be continued.) )
