From the capital to Chita, Russia, the train takes two days and two nights. The scholars of Huaqing University and the Chemical Engineering Design Institute rarely have the opportunity to go abroad, and it is even rarer to go to the Soviet Union. Several old gentlemen who had stayed in the Soviet Union talked about their experiences in studying in the Soviet Union in the sleeper compartment, and also talked about the grievances and grievances between China and the Soviet Union over the years.

According to Xiao Weihao's explanation, this is a habit that Liu Hang has developed in the military research institute for a long time, and he is reluctant to talk to strangers. However, as the conversation became closer to technology, Liu Hang finally joined the conversation, because he found that even from these domestic scholars, he could get a lot of information that was valuable for his research work.

Among the group, the only ones who can keep their mood calm are Qin Hai and Xiao Weihao, or they can also include Heizi. Kuroko didn't care what task he was going to perform, he only knew that he had to protect and take care of Qin Hai, and everything else had nothing to do with him. On the train, Qin Hai didn't need anyone to take care of him, so in the past two days, Kuroko was the one who slept the most steadily.

"Xiao Qin, have you been to the Soviet Union in the past?"

While the scholars were locked in the box to talk about technical issues, Xiao Weihao and Qin Hai sat on the stools in the corridor, chatting while looking out the window at the white fields. After a few days of contact, Xiao Weihao found that he and Qin Hai had some common language, and there was nothing to do during the journey, so they often got together and chatted nonsense.

"Never been." Qin Haidao, he had visited Russia in his previous life, but this was the first time he went. He asked rhetorically, "What about you?" Old Shaw? ”

"I've been there a few times." Xiao Weihao said without concealment, "But this is the first time to go to the Far East, and I used to go to big cities such as Moscow and Kyiv. ”

"Do you have to run all day long?" Qin Hai asked curiously, Xiao Weihao was the first security department official he had met in this life, and the security department had always given people a mysterious and unpredictable feeling.

Xiao Weihao smiled: "What do you mean by doing what we do?" We also have a different division of labor in this industry. Some people need to run around, while others may stay in one place for the rest of their lives, depending on the needs of the job. ”

Qin Hai asked, "Then you belong to the kind of person who runs around?" ”

Xiao Weihao said: "That's right, I have been abroad for at least half of the year." No, I just came back from the Middle East, and I was asked to go to the Soviet Union with you, and I promised to take my daughter skiing. ”

Qin Hai said with a smile: "If we do things quickly, we will have a chance to take your daughter to ski when you come back." Not really. I'll make arrangements for you to go skiing in the Alps with your family next year. ”

"Oh, yes, I remember." Xiao Weihao was not hypocritical at all, and happily accepted Qin Hai's invitation. In his opinion, Qin Hai's words may just be a polite remark, and he didn't take it seriously. Besides, even if Qin Hai is serious. He also completely dared to accept that his profession was inherently informal.

"That's right. Xiao Qin, I heard that you proposed to recruit talents in the Soviet Union this time, how could you have such an idea? Xiao Weihao seemed to inadvertently open another topic.

Qin Hai knew that Xiao Weihao's question would never be asked casually. The current domestic situation of the Soviet Union is very complicated, and Sino-Soviet relations are also very sensitive, so it is impossible for the security departments not to pay attention to Qin Hai's motives for going to the Soviet Union to poach people. Xiao Weihao knocked on him like this, obviously wanting to probe his roots.

"The USSR will not last long." Qin Hai opened his mouth. directly gave Xiao Weihao a thunderbolt. In Qin Hai's mind, since the other party wanted to ask, then he would give the other party a simple answer, anyway, the security department would not be able to find out his true details, so Xiao Weihao felt that he was a genius prophet or a great expert in international politics. According to his experience, when others feel that his level is unfathomable, they will give up their interest in continuing to explore, because some things are no longer understandable to ordinary people.

"What do you mean?" Xiao Weihao asked.

Qin Haidao: "The matter is obvious. The struggle for hegemony between the United States and the Soviet Union dragged down the economy of the Soviet Union. After coming to power, Goeth pursued a series of erroneous policies. Economically, various blind reforms made the Soviet economy, which was already in a depression, even worse; In politics, Goe's new thinking has played a role in weakening national cohesion and accelerating social disintegration.

As far as I can see, the life of the Soviet people was very difficult, and people complained. Including the military, it can be said that people's minds have changed. At this time, as long as anyone put forward some radical slogans, the political situation in the Soviet Union would definitely change severely, and the final result would be the collapse of the Soviet Union and the independence of the union republics from the Soviet Union. If nothing else, I think the process might only take a year. ”

"Who are you listening to when you say this?" Xiao Weihao asked in surprise, he really didn't expect Qin Hai to say such a shocking opinion.

The security services have not failed to study and judge possible changes in the Soviet Union, and there are indeed people who, like Qin Hai, predict the possible collapse of the Soviet Union. However, the more dominant view is that the Soviet Union can continue to exist, after all, this is also a 70-year-old union, how could it fall apart overnight?

As a security official who has been engaged in international struggles for many years, Xiao Weihao is somewhat inclined to the view that the Soviet Union will eventually collapse, but he is not pessimistic enough to believe that the Soviet Union will face disintegration within a year. Qin Hai was able to make such a judgment, and said the time so unbelievably, which made Xiao Weihao completely incomprehensible.

Qin Hai smiled slightly, so that he would not tell Xiao Weihao how he made this judgment. Before this happened, it was true that few people could have predicted that the Soviet Union would collapse so quickly, and everyone thought that the most unfortunate behemoth would be able to support it for another ten years, and who knew that it would not be able to support it for even a year from now on. However, Qin Hai, who came from later generations, knew this, and practice showed that things in reality were sometimes more bizarre than any of the most daring predictions.

"I'm just a family, right or wrong, please ask Xiao for advice." Qin Hai said.

Xiao Weihao was silent for a while and said, "What if...... I mean, if a qiē is really what you predicted, what do you think we should do? ”

"Get the most out of us." Qin Hai said bluntly.

"Exactly?" Xiao Weihao asked.

"Dig talents, dig up technology, dig up equipment, dig up resources, and we have to get all the useful things in our hands." Qin Hai said.

"That's why you are in a hurry to bring a team to the USSR?" Xiao Weihao asked.

Qin Hai nodded: "That's right." Now we are not the only ones who see the Soviet Union in chaos, but the Western powers are also eyeing it. If we don't do it first, I'm afraid these things will fall into the hands of others.

My idea is this, let's go to Chita first, use Chita as an entry point, and then continue to infiltrate other states and republics. In the past 70 years, the Soviet Union has accumulated a lot of wealth, and we must take this wealth into our own hands as much as possible. ”

Xiao Weihao said: "Isn't it a little inappropriate for us to do this?" Isn't this a robbery? ”

Qin Hai said with a smile: "You said the wrong word, we are not robbing, we are just rescuing." I dare to assert that once the USSR collapsed, all this wealth would evaporate. Either they will be abandoned in vain, or they will fall into the hands of bureaucratic conglomerates or foreign powers. These riches are the ones created by the people, and instead of letting these bastards take them away, why not let us rescue them? ”

"Salvage? Interesting. Xiao Weihao pondered Qin Hai's words, and then asked with a smile: "Xiao Qin, do you know why I admire you so much?" ”

"Xiao Chu, when did you say you admired me?" Qin Hai also asked with a smile.

"Well, I haven't said it before, but don't I say it now?" Xiao Weihao said.

"Well, let me think about it......" Qin Hai pretended to think for a moment, and then said: "The reason why you admire me is because of my shameless face, which has the charm of your youth?" ”

"Hahahaha!" Xiao Weihao burst out laughing, laughing so hard that the scholars who were discussing it in the box also poked their heads out, wondering what interesting things the two of them had seen outside. Xiao Weihao gestured to everyone, indicating that there was nothing abnormal, and said to Qin Hai with a smile: "You have summarized it too accurately. Xiao Qin, Xiao Qin, if you don't come to work in our system, it's really a big loss for the country. ”

"So, Xiao is agreeing with my approach?" Qin Hai asked.

Xiao Weihao nodded heavily: "I agree, the wealth created by the Soviet people cannot fall into the hands of the bourgeoisie, and we have the obligation to help them save it." ”

This kind of conversation is destined to only take place between Qin Hai and Xiao Weihao, and no one else in the team is as thick as the two of them. In fact, Qin Hai doesn't need these people to have a black heart, he just needs them to identify the value of talents and technologies, and how to get these talents and technologies back to China is what he has to do. Now with Xiao Weihao's help, his chances of winning are even better.

On the morning of the third day after departing from the capital, the train slowly entered Chita Station. Through the car window, Qin Hai could see all kinds of tall, thick buildings outside, which seemed to show the majesty of an old empire in the past. (To be continued......)
