43 Impressed
Yantyuk said a little uncomfortably, "How long can you hold on in the face of such a beauty......" After speaking, seeing the face of his boss sank, he didn't dare to say any more,
On the contrary, Sokolov smiled and said with a clear look, "My friend, I also want to say to you, you have to be mentally prepared for a woman like Yelena. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ο½ο½ο½Uο½Eγ ο½ο½ο½ο½β
His words obviously attracted the attention of the two listeners, Sokolov was a little bolder, and he felt that he would not be hit by his words, and said with some pride, "Peerless beauty, not everyone can have it, he must be very powerful, otherwise, even if you are the king, you may not be able to keep it, think about the Trojan War." It's not impossible. β
This caused both men to fall silent, and apparently he was right, and continued, "She is beautiful and dangerous, the most dangerous person in the world. β
But no one responded to him, because Yelena returned, and she smiled and gave the kettle to Volkov, then put the two cups under her arm on the table, and said to Sokolov and Jantyuk with a smile, "I can only take two cups, do you want to taste the coffee?"
The two of them hurriedly took the glass, stood up and raised their glasses with both hands, as if Yelena was holding a fine wine, and introduced themselves while thanking them. Yelena sat them down and poured them coffee.
"Wow, it's so cool. Sokolov exclaimed in surprise,
Jantyuk obviously found out, took a sip very cherished, then tasted it, and said, "This taste should be very suitable for the taste of Comrade Commander." β
Yelena's expression remained unchanged, and she turned her head sideways to look to the side, thinking to herself that he was already a military commander! If the Soviet military rank was restored, he would at least be a major general. At this time, he was much calmer, sipping the coffee, Yelena looked at the pile of papers he put on his lap, so she asked,
"What is the purpose of our trip to China this time, and do we need to cooperate with any person or department?" Yelena asked this question normally, and Yelena has always said that she will send people to China, but if the purpose is not known, how can we cooperate? Yelena's role is not just a translator, Yelena recalled two other translators, one is Popov, who has lived in China for many years, and Lai Wenhui is a student from China, looking at his clothes and conversation, it is not difficult to see that he has a good upbringing and temperament, and his family is certainly extraordinary. It can be seen that while they chose the translation, they also took into account other factors, and as a translator, it was impossible for Volkov to keep it secret from her.
Volkov liked coffee very much, and was a little reluctant to drink it, and when he heard Yelena's words, he remembered that she might not know the specific task, so he said, "Several people have different divisions of labor, my task is to investigate the situation of the Japanese army, their tactics and the situation of the army, at the same time, I also want to see the situation on the battlefield, now it is different from the First World War, maybe I can find something." β
Yelena understood, and said, "If you go to inspect the battle, then who will be responsible for arranging it?
"Yes, their people have arrived today, so we are going to investigate in advance. They will cooperate. I heard that you know China very well, and have lived there for many years, what do you think the future of war will be?" Volkov asked in a very general way, but he did not expect Yelena to give an answer, just out of politeness.
When Yelena heard this, she obviously had the intention of testing herself, because a person's high IQ may not necessarily have associations with the war and the situation, not to mention that Yelena seems to be a science and engineering girl, and she is young, what can she have a high opinion on such a big thing? But Yelena really understands, and asks rhetorically,
"Do you mean the outcome of the war? or do you mean what China or Japan will do next? Or do you want to ask me, what is Japan's next goal after China?"
Yelena didn't have a smile on her face, it was rare to be solemn, Volkov heard Yelena say this, but he was interested, he wanted to hear her opinion, so he said, "Beiping and Tianjin have fallen, near Shanghai, the Chinese and Japanese armies have been in a state of anxiety, what do you think will happen next? How long do you think Japan will be able to fully occupy China? Win the war?"
"I think in the future, Japan and China will increase their troops, China will mobilize troops from all over the country, and Japan will also arrive soon, and the domestic transfer of troops may take a little longer, but in Korea, Taiwan, Lushun and the army, they will come soon, plus air superiority, and they will fight for a while. I don't think Japan can fully occupy China, and the two sides will be in a stalemate for a long time. β
"Do you think so? Why? Because you have feelings for China? I think you are clear about the gap in military strength between the two sides, and the Chinese warlords are separating and don't even have military industrial enterprises, do you think you can hold out for a long time? Do you think Britain, France, the United States, and other countries will intervene?"
Yelena also said, " I made this conclusion because of my understanding of China and Japan, although Japan is more prosperous than China, but their country is small, weak national strength, can not withstand consumption, on the other hand, China, from north to south has a vast area, complex geographical environment, rich products, large population, although the political situation is complicated, but it can still hold on for a few years, and the Japanese in China tasted the sweetness, then it will definitely be the Soviet Union or Southeast Asia, which will touch the interests of European and American countries, when Japan develops to a certain extent, the threat is great, at that time, that is, the day of their defeat, justβ¦β¦β
Yelena's prediction with such certainty made Volkov very curious, and he had also thought about the situation of China's war with Japan, but he still needed to go there to see before he could make a judgment, seeing that Yelena was a little hesitant, he didn't want to say, or didn't dare to say it? Volkov said,
"You're just a translator, you've lived in China for a long time, and it's reasonable to make all kinds of predictions, and it won't have any impact, you can just say it. β
Volkov wanted to comfort Yelena, but this also happened to say her contradictory mood at this time, she wanted to do things, but her identity, her ideals, and the complicated situation she faced, she still couldn't stand up, turned to Volkov and said,
"What I'm worried about is Japan's alliance with Germany and Italy, which would be very bad for us in the Soviet Union. Whether it is Japan or Germany, it is a hatred for our country, and it seems that the ultimate goal of destroying us is their ultimate goal, and we are indeed their biggest obstacle. If we were to face an attack from both Japan and Germany, that would be a very disadvantageous situation. Moreover, the situation in Japan and Germany is very complex, and it is difficult to predict what they will do next with common sense. β
Volkov nodded and said, "I agree with your concerns, but they can't predict it, so where does such a conclusion come from?"
Yelena's suggestion is indeed something that Volkov has not heard of, nor has he thought of, and it is no wonder that he, Japan has now developed into a thorough militarist, whether it is a soldier or a civilian, the top and bottom are united in the war and the common prosperity of East Asia in advance, they deformously respect the emperor, and those soldiers cannot be analyzed with human thoughts, because they have no humanity at all. Domestic news control, even ordinary and kind people, under the propaganda of the media, will not have other ideas. It's crazy to the point. How to anticipate such a country and soldiers who are eager to use war to make a difference, coupled with a ruler with great ambitions, is incomprehensible to normal people.
And not to mention Germany and Italy, where the heads of state are the best of the madmen, racism is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, opposition to the Soviet system, plus there is a feud in history, then the Second World War is already imminent.
Yelena said her thoughts briefly and concisely, obviously such a comprehensive thesis and the mention of the second world made him dignified, and the fact that the Soviet Union was an inevitable participant in the war made him even more worried, because in Volkov's view, even an ordinary citizen who is not in the military and political circles, a young girl, can come to such a conclusion, so are they deliberately ignoring it! Just as Yelena said the Chinese idiom, raising a tiger is a problem!
Volkov thought a lot, and then thought that instead of worrying, it was better to do his duty, so he asked some more about Yelena's opinion on the Chinese battlefield at this time. Yelena said that she only had simple information about the situation on the battlefield in China from the newspaper, and she had no way to comment on it. Volkov expressed understanding.
The topic came to an end for the time being, Yelena didn't drink much coffee in the lid of the kettle in her hand at all, while Volkov took a sip from time to time, and the two people opposite were completely different from the two of them, while listening, frowning, while pouring the iced coffee in Yelena's coffee pot into her cup, Yelena didn't look at her kettle to know, there must be no inside, she had already noticed the movements of the two people when they were talking.
Yelena got up, carried her backpack, and said to change her clothes, and the remaining three people discussed the battlefield situation in China, and they naturally got more information, next to them was a group of Demchenko and Popov, and behind them, there was a group of people from Bolzakovsky and Lai Wenhui, obviously, Lai Wenhui is a slippery, extraordinary background, he is naturally proficient in human affairs, and he is very suitable for bureaucrats like Bolzakovsky.
The topic of discussion between Yelena and Volkov more or less reached Demchenko next door, and he frowned and said, "This woman is not ordinary, she can have these ideas, she can't say that she heard them from bed!" It is undeniable that Demchenko is very jealous, he didn't expect Yelena Teregina to be so beautiful, since he saw her, he thought that he and she missed the opportunity to work together, Demchenko's heart was burning, of course, it was nothing to hear it on the bed, but Popov, who heard this, was very worried, and even a little scared, and hurriedly approached Demchenko and said,
"Comrade Deputy Commander, if you go to China, you must not treat Yelena Teregina like this, she is a very powerful figure in China, from their heads of government, first ladies, to the leaders of the underworld in society, banks and enterprises of various countries, and even in hospitals and schools, she is a very respectable person. β
As soon as he heard this, the blood in Demchenko's bones suddenly burst out, and his voice also increased, and he said, "Who dares to touch me? My pistol is not a toy." β
Popov hurriedly grabbed him, in case Yelena offended Volkov, and reassured, "Comrade Deputy Commander, you have to listen to me calmly, the situation there is very complicated, there are many factions in the government, as well as spies and wealthy businessmen from various countries, and there are even more murderous hooligans and thugs, even if your status is very high, but, to be honest, even if someone really kills you, you can't find the murderer, they won't be afraid, but in that case, you have already been murdered, is there any point?" There is a war there, there is a lot of chaos there. β
Well, the society in the war is chaotic, and there is no need to cause trouble yourself. But he was still not convinced, and said, "How can she know so many people, why do so many people buy her account?"
Popov shrugged, he couldn't tell, but just as they heard the conversation next door, and the people next door listened to them, Sokolov leaned out and said, "Yes! Tell me, I want to know." β
