Spring 1993, Kola Peninsula.

The Kola Peninsula is located in the Murmansk Oblast in the Arctic of the Western Siberian continent and is surrounded by the sea on three sides.

It was once the most important submarine production center during the Cold War and is now home to the headquarters of the Northern Fleet.

The cold wind swept the dark clouds rolling in from afar, covering the sky over the harbor at a speed visible to the naked eye, and on the deck of the Van Logoff-class large landing ship, an ensign looked up at the sea in the distance and took a hard puff of his cigarette, "Hell!"

The wind howled on the sea, the waves were rolling, and the black clouds were getting lower and lower, as if the end was coming, and people were overwhelmed.

Snowstorm!

The Kola Peninsula is affected by the warm current of the North Atlantic, and the coast does not freeze all year round, and the snowstorm is a rare occurrence in a century!

The second lieutenant hurriedly dropped the cigarette butt, sounded the alarm on the deck, and then shrunk towards the entrance to the deck, just as he was about to run into the cabin, there was a roar in the sky, and the second lieutenant looked back, and a Mi-24 heavy gunship broke through the rain layer and crumbled in the sky.

This helicopter does not belong to the Northern Fleet. The Northern Fleet is the most important nuclear war force in the East Slavic Federation, and the fleet has never been exposed here, all the internal facilities are hidden under thick rocks, and there is almost no radiation of heat sources, even the satellites of the United States cannot detect it. The second lieutenant subconsciously touched the pistol on his waist, and on the Kola Peninsula, every soldier has the right to fire without restrictions.

Just as the second lieutenant hesitated whether to call for the nearby soldiers to shoot, the heavy helicopter had already arrived over the large Van Logoff-class landing ship, ropes were thrown from the helicopter, and three sturdy figures and their standard rope landing posture landed on the deck, rolling and leaning over to eliminate inertia, and then stood up and walked towards the second lieutenant.

All three wore dark green military uniforms with the word "ГБ" written on their epaulettes. Collar badges, epaulettes, and cap walls are blue, and the National Security Council is in uniform! All three are from the National Security Council, the powerful national intelligence agency.

The second lieutenant hurriedly put away his pistol, stood upright, and raised his head to salute the three of them.

"Andrei Andrevich, National Security Council, I ask to see Dr. Dimir Asagov. After the man landed, he took out a badge with a sickle and a long sword, put it on his chest, came to the second lieutenant, took out his papers, shook it, and then reported himself to the door to explain his intentions.

"Sir......" The second lieutenant hesitated to glance at Andrei and the other two members of the National Security Council behind Andrei, behind Andrei stood an expressionless female officer observing the surroundings, while the male officer next to the female officer kept staring at him with a playful smile on his face. The second lieutenant shuddered, for he caught a glimpse of the pistol safety in the man's right hand being activated, as if he would be killed on the spot at the slightest movement. However, this is not the National Security Council, so the second lieutenant still plucked up the courage and said loudly: "This is a military restricted area, and you have no right to enter here without a special permit." ”

"Of course!" Andrei snapped his fingers, and the female officer behind him opened his briefcase and took out a document and put it in Andrei's hand, "I know the rules here, here is an identification document issued by the Murmansk government." ”

"Sir, I need to see your special pass and not an identity document issued by the Murmansk government......"

"You may not be aware of the duties of the National Security Council, we are only responsible for arresting reactionaries in the East Slavic Principality, and we are responsible for managing prisons, searches, arrests, and detentions. Andrei threw the document in his hand to the female officer, stepped forward and patted the second lieutenant lightly on the face and threatened: "This does not mean that we need to prove the identity of the reactionaries before we can arrest them, understand?"

Andrei's meaning could not have been clearer, if the second lieutenant dared to prevent them from seeing Dimir Asagov, the second lieutenant would face the condolences of a transcendent body that overrode the various departments of the party, government, and military of the East Slavic principalities.

The lieutenant remembers a movie last year that was about 80 minutes long, and the scenes were very monotonous, mostly in the basement of a detention center. But in the more than 80-minute film, almost an hour of it is spent executing reactionaries, and each time in this basement, a group of men, women, and children are branded as "reactionaries" and brought here from prison by agents of the National Security Council, and then stripped naked and walked to the door, standing with their faces facing it. Each time, the same five executioners shot at them with their hands and feet, and their naked bodies were lifted headfirst and then thrown into carts and pulled out of the pit that had been dug in advance outside the city, where the corpses were already strewn everywhere.

If they don't do what they want, the second lieutenant will most likely show up in some basement tomorrow, and then there will be no then.

"Yes.... Sir!" the second lieutenant shuddered and saluted, leading the three towards a snow-covered wooden house.

The lieutenant pulled out a card and swiped the curfew, and the floor of the cabin slowly pulled open, revealing a platform.

"Dr. Asagov's office is located three hundred meters underground and can only be reached by this old elevator. It took five years for the Murmansk Engineer Regiment to hollow out all the rock formations above the office, pour 230 meters of cement, and fill the interlayer with lead plates and plexiglass, which can not only isolate the United States spy satellites, but also withstand the attack of 100-ton ultra-miniature nuclear bombs. The platform descended slowly, and the second lieutenant introduced Andrei.

"What's your name, second lieutenant. Andrei spoke.

Nikolai Anatolyevich Evmenov, Chief. ”

The second lieutenant's eyes were full of surprise, but it was a pity that Andrei nodded silently and stopped talking.

After a long wait, the platform entered a large space.

"Right up front is Dr. Dimir Asagof's office, and my authority only allows me to go here. The lieutenant saluted, then turned to leave.

The three of them stepped into the room, which was a very simple wooden house, with only a wooden table and a few chairs, like a simple version of the living room.

The white-haired old man unscrewed a bottle of wine and poured it into four glasses with ice cubes in front of him, "Absolute vodka, even in the upper class of Moscow, it is not necessarily a scarce commodity that only the aristocracy can enjoy, Comrade Andrei and all of you, respect our great Motherland." ”

"To the great Motherland, Dr. Ashargoff. Andrei clinked glasses with the old man, and the two drank it all.

The hot taste rushed from the taste buds on the tip of his tongue to his brain, and Andre pursed his lips, "Sure enough, it's absolute vodka, or it's the best class." ”

"What are you here for?" Dr. Asagov asked, narrowing his eyes and smiling.

"Why don't you guess Dr. Asagov?" Andre smiled at the doctor, he had never met Dr. Asagoph, but he could call his name accurately, and the wine glass he had prepared was just right, indicating that Asagov knew everything about himself and others before he came down.

Dr. Asagov looked at Andrei with a strange expression, and for a long time, he suddenly burst out laughing, "You can fool others but you can't fool me, don't forget who researched what you face." ”

Andrei shrugged his shoulders and removed the bionic mask from his face, revealing a standard Western European face, with short black ear-length hair and extremely rare purple pupils.

"Frederick Stuart. ”

A man and a woman behind him also took off their bionic masks.

"Leohard von Morgenstern. ”

"Attia Turinus. ”

Listening to the self-introduction of the three of them, Asagofu was slightly taken aback, "I just applied to the organization for a special drilling head, why did the organization send you?"

Although Asagov has been here since 1971 to direct the Kola ultra-deep drilling program, this has not affected his knowledge of the members of the organization.

All three come from Europa's oldest family and come from terrifyingly large backgrounds. If the Stuarts had not been in the background due to the needs of the organization, they would still be the masters of the United Kingdom of Great Britain, and the Turinus family would be the direct descendants of Octavian, the head of the Roman Empire. As for the Morgan Stern family, it has always been very mysterious, and even Asagoph only knows that the Morgan Stern family is one of the first founding families of the organization, and nothing else is known.

"Dr. Ashargoff, you may not be aware of the problem you have that cannot be solved by replacing a special drill head. "I'm sure you've also noticed that from 1983 onwards the drilling was so hampered that it only went down 261 meters in 10 years, and the drilling head wore out faster than expected." ”

"What do you mean?" Dr. Asagoff looked at Stuart with a frown.

"I believe that the Organization did not tell you the purpose of this mission when you received this mission, but only asked you to dig tentatively," Attia Turinus explained, "so you had to dig under the guise of detecting the 'Mokhorovich Discontinuity' before the United States, and it would take twenty-three years to dig at a time. ”

"I don't know what the organization is digging for, but I can still guess that the organization is for studying the energy of the center of the earth, right?" Dr. Asagov speculated.

"Why bother here if it's just to study the energy of the Earth's core, we can choose an area that is within the organization's control?" Stuart asked rhetorically.

"Yes," Dr. Asagov nodded, "next to this is the Northern Fleet of the Eastern Slavic Principality, and the Murmansk military base of the Eastern Siberian Military District, the largest in the Eastern Slavic Principality, is dozens of kilometers away. ”

"Is it ......," Dr. Asagov exclaimed at the thought of something.

"Shhhhhh ”

"It's easy to evacuate the staff here, there are five hours to go to the end of today's drilling work, and all the staff will go to the Northern Fleet station above to rest, but it is difficult to turn off all the monitoring equipment. Dr. Asagov led the three of them to the back room, where several old computers were displayed with live footage of the underground drilling platform.

"The underground monitoring equipment is jointly managed and maintained by the Northern Fleet and the state, and the video will be backed up by the Northern Fleet and the national government. "Two years ago, when the Union of the Principalities of the East Slavs collapsed, the top officials of the Principalities of the Principalities of the Principalities were ready to abandon the project, and in order to keep the Kola ultra-deep drilling project, I handed over all the detection data from the beginning of the project in 1970 to the present, and the core extracted showed that the gold content was as high as 80 g/t." Knowing that a gold layer with a gold content of up to 4 g/t gold is commercially valuable, it is rare to find a gold layer with a gold content of more than 10 g/t gold on the earth's surface. At that time, the orders of the top brass of the Eastern Slavic Principality were to evacuate all of our personnel, and the Northern Fleet would take over the area and explore for gold here. In order to keep the place, I falsified an exploration report from the Geological Bureau, saying that the rock formations here are very unstable and that large-scale mining will lead to landslides. ”

"If I were a high-ranking member of the East Slavic Principality, I would definitely start mining the rocks here right away. Stuart shrugged, "Human nature is greedy, and no one would say no to this huge treasure trove of gold!"

"I don't think it's possible for the top brass in East Slavia to be like this, and that the gang doesn't care about the lives of the miners?" asked Leohard von Morgenstern, who had not spoken.

"The politicians who can only do things will not care about the life and death of the miners, but the Northern Fleet and the Murmansk military base will. "Because of the high gold content here, they did not trust outsiders at all, and they ordered the Northern Fleet and the Murmansk base engineer regiment to dig here, but they were rejected by the Northern Fleet and Murmansk." ”

"After all, the gold is in the hands of the national government, and it is the military that pays for the gold. Stuart snapped his fingers, "That's why they've decided to set up cameras to monitor every move here and prevent you from stealing from yourself." ”

"That's right, so if you want to turn off the surveillance equipment here, you have to keep the Northern Fleet and the government out of the way. ”

"I'll take care of it. Attia Turinus pulled out of her backpack with a laptop, "Actually, it's very easy to keep the Northern Fleet and the government unnoticed, we just need to take a video and replace the original live footage, Frederick, how long will it take us?"

Frederick glanced at Leohard, who reached out and glanced at the time, "Based on the depth of Dr. Asagoph's exploration, we need about an hour. ”

"But in doing so, they only need to compare and see the telling?" Dr. Asagov wondered.

"Nobody is going to do something so boring, I would stitch together a few clips so they couldn't see anything even if they were compared. "I made a three-hour video just in case, and now we just have to wait for the end of the working day before we can replace it with the camera's capture chip." ”
