The car drove halfway through the city of Moscow, into a nondescript courtyard, and stopped in front of a four-story building.

"Mr. Lin, we're here, please get off the bus." A Russian man sitting in the passenger seat jumped out of the car quickly, opened the door of the back seat, and said to Lin Zhenhua in fluent Chinese.

"Let's go, Lanlan." Lin Zhenhua said to He Lan, who was sitting in the back seat with him.

When the two of them got out of the car, the Russian man very naturally blocked the top of the door with his hand so that they would not accidentally kowtow. Such a subtle action also made Lin Zhenhua feel the other party's respect.

"Where's Director Piyuzin?" Lin Zhenhua asked the Russian man.

"The director is waiting for you in the office, please come with me." The Russian man bowed slightly, then reached out and made a guiding gesture.

Lin Zhenhua nodded, and took He Lan to follow the Russian man to the building.

As Chen Tian guessed, it was the staff of the Russian Federal Security Service who went to the hotel to find Lin Zhenhua. As soon as they saw Lin Zhenhua, they bluntly said that their bureau chief, Piyuzin, was interested in interviewing him and asking him if he had a convenient time.

Hearing that it was Piyuzin's summons, Lin Zhenhua was very excited. Anyway, this benevolent brother is also a person who can make the world hear some loud characters by stomping his feet ten years later, and now he actually names him to meet him Lin Zhenhua, how can he not feel flattered?

Regarding the fact that Pi Youjin wanted to see Lin Zhenhua, Chen Tian, He Haifeng, Liu Xianghai and others were very surprised. If Piyuzin wants to meet any of the three of them, there is still some truth, but Lin Zhenhua is not from the security system, second, he is not from the military, and third, he is not a high-ranking official of the Chinese government, so how can He De enter the sight of the Russian Federal Security Service?

"Uh...... I also had a relationship with Lao Pi, you know, seven years ago, in Frankfurt ......," Lin Zhenhua said thoughtlessly. However, for this reason, even he himself could not believe it. At that time, he was just an ordinary exhibitor, although he chatted with Piyuzin for a few words, after 7 years, can people still remember him?

"I'll go with you." Chen Tian volunteered.

The Russian agent who came to invite Lin Zhenhua smiled and refused Chen Tian's request, telling him that the director only wanted to meet Mr. Lin, and that the others could make another appointment with the director if they were interested.

In the end, Lin Zhenhua, in the name of the secretary, took He Lan and got into the car driven by the Russian agent together. The purpose of bringing He Lan with him was also to let He Lan open his eyes, after all, this kind of opportunity is not available all the time. As for safety, there is no need to worry at all, since Piyuzin has made a public appointment with him, there is naturally no danger.

Regarding Lin Zhenhua's purpose of bringing He Lan, Chen Tian and others had another interpretation. They thought that perhaps Lin Zhenhua was trying to avoid going to Russia's security services alone, so he took He Lan to testify.

"Director, they're coming." The agent pushed open the door to Piyuzin's office and reported inside.

"Invite them in." Piyuzin commanded.

The agent guided Lin Zhenhua and He Lan into the door, settled them down on the sofa, poured them tea, and then quietly closed the door and exited. While the agent was doing these things, Piyuzin sat behind his large desk, intently correcting a document, until the agent left the office, he raised his head, smiled and said to Lin Zhenhua in English, "Mr. Lin, I'm very happy that we meet again." Do you remember me? ”。

Of course I remember you, Lin Zhenhua didn't blurt out. Seven years ago, at the Frankfurt International Equipment Exhibition, Peyuzin took two military workers from the former Soviet Union to the Chinese booth to seek cooperation, and Lin Zhenhua had a conversation with Piyuzin at that time. For Lin Zhenhua, this incident left a very deep impression on him, because he had the consciousness of a time-traveler and knew who he was talking to. And Piyujin can still remember meeting Lin Zhenhua, which makes Lin Zhenhua feel very surprised. Perhaps, this is what makes Piyuzin so special, or someone else can be the head of the whole Russian KGB?

"Director Piyuzin, it's a pleasure to meet you again. I'm sorry that when I was in Frankfurt seven years ago, I didn't know who you were, and I was so neglectful of you. Lin Zhenhua also replied in English. "I don't have any special status, I'm just an ordinary state functionary. So it was then, and so it is now. Piyuzin said lightly.

"Yes, we're just ordinary staff." Lin Zhenhua also replied with a slight smile. In front of Piyuzin, he had a feeling of oppression, but he still had to pretend to be peaceful, not wanting to show his cowardice.

"Mr. Lin, you took the liberty to invite you over this time, you wouldn't mind, would you? Not a few words," Piyuzin asked.

"I feel very honored." Lin Zhenhua replied, "It's just that I still don't understand something. With such a busy schedule, how could Director Piyuzin have time to meet an ordinary businessman like me? ”

Piyuzin said: "Mr. Lin, you are by no means an ordinary businessman. As far as we know, you are coming to Russia with a senior official of China's national security department and a senior official of China's military industry. If you're able to walk with them, you're not an ordinary businessman. ”

Lin Zhenhua was not surprised by Pi Yujin's straightforward words. The identities of Chen Tian and Liu Xianghai could not be kept secret. Not to mention the fact that they are running around on the territory of Russia to recruit technical personnel, and they will certainly not be able to escape the eyes of the Russian security services. It's just that Pi Youjin doesn't look for Chen Tian and Liu Xianghai, but only for him Lin Zhenhua, what is the intention? Could it be that he really wanted to recruit him as an insider of the KGB?

"I think what Director Piyuzin has learned should be more detailed." Lin Zhenhua replied noncommittally that he would wait to hear what Piyuzin had to say.

"According to the information we have, your activities in Russia during this period of time have already posed a threat to the security of the Russian Federation, so I think it is necessary for me to communicate with you," Piyuzin said. ”

There was no expression on Piyuzin's face as he said this, neither like a joke nor as if he was really asking for guilt. Lin Zhenhua couldn't figure out the meaning of what Piyujin meant, so he had to see the move and replied calmly: "Director Piyujin, I don't understand what you said. We just visited some friends in Russia, and what we did was completely public, and there was nothing that violated Russian law. So, you say that our actions pose a threat to Russia's security, and I don't quite agree. ”

"Mr. Lin, we don't have to beat around the bush, the people you visit are the best military talents in our Russia. Isn't it a threat to Russia's security that you hired them to China to engage in research in the military industry? ”。 Piyuzin said, staring at Lin Zhenhua's eyes with a falcon-like gaze.

He Lan's English level is also good, and she can hear the conversation between Lin Zhenhua and Piyujin clearly. Seeing that Piyujin unabashedly broke this layer of window paper, He Lan's heart fluttered, she turned her head to look at Lin Zhenhua, not knowing how Lin Zhenhua would answer.

Lin Zhenhua's heart was also up and down, and he didn't know what Piyuzin's intentions were. It is an open secret that they are poaching talents in Russia, and if the Russian side wanted to stop it, it would have already taken action. Now that some of these people have arrived in China and become a fait accompli, what is the purpose of Piyuzin saying these words at this time?

"Director Piyuzin, you're right, we are indeed recruiting some Russian researchers to work in China. However, not all of them go to the military industry, and some of them go to the private sector to serve. As far as we have learned, the United States, Europe, Japan and other countries are also recruiting in Russia. If there is a threat to Russia's security, I think their actions are even more threatening. Lin Zhenhua said.

There seemed to be a smile on Piyuzin's face, but it was so deeply buried that it was hard to see without looking closely. He asked, "Mr. Lin, why do you think the behavior of countries like the United States is more threatening?" ”

He was taking my words, and Lin Zhenhua's mind flashed like lightning. If he were not a time-traveler, he would not have guessed Piyuzin's political leanings, but he was precisely a time-traveler, and he knew very well that when Piyuzin took power in Russia a few years later, he was somewhat hostile to Europe and the United States. In other words, if there is one person in Russia at this time who is wary of the West, it can only be Piyuzin. …,

After figuring out this section, Lin Zhenhua knew how to speak. Thinking of the attitude of Russian officials towards China that He Haifeng told him earlier, Lin Zhenhua believes that Piyuzin is currently a loner in the Russian government. The whole world is drunk, but only Piyuzin is awake, and he obviously wants to understand China's true attitude towards Russia from Lin Zhenhua.

"Director Piyuzin, with all due respect, your government currently has too many illusions about Western countries. Some government officials have not hesitated to make hostile expressions toward China in order to curry favor with the West. In my opinion, this idea is very politically naïve. Russia is a big country, and if Russia becomes strong, it will pose a geopolitical threat to Western countries, so it is absolutely impossible for Western countries to really help Russia. At such a time, the flow of Russian military personnel to Western countries will inevitably become a hidden danger to Russia's national security in the future. Lin Zhenhua said calmly.

"What about China? Russia is also a geopolitical power for China, so is China wary of Russia? ”。 Piyuzin asked.

Lin Zhenhua said: "Of course, China is wary of Russia. There is an old Chinese saying that you must not have the heart to harm others, and you must not have the heart to prevent others. China and Russia share thousands of kilometers of borders and have had frictions in history, and it is impossible to expect China to fully trust Russia. ”

"Go on." Piyuzin nodded. It seems that he is not annoyed by Lin Zhenhua's words, on the contrary, he seems to feel that Lin Zhenhua's openness and honesty are more of an appetite for him.

Lin Zhenhua also figured out the psychology and character of Piyujin, so he expressed his opinions so bluntly. He knew that with this little bit of practice, it would be impossible to lie in front of Piyuzin, so it was better to say something. He believed that his views should be appreciated by Piuszin.

"However, although China is wary of Russia, there is more room for cooperation between the two sides. In the next 20 years, both China and Russia will face threats from the United States and other Western countries, so China and Russia must cooperate with each other and serve each other as horns in order to gain their due position in the future international struggle. From this point of view, making China strong quickly is the most in line with Russia's national security requirements. Lin Zhenhua continued.

"So, for China, is a strong Russia in China's national interests, or not?" Piyuzin continued.

Faced with Piyujin's pressing step by step, Lin Zhenhua had no way to retreat, and he replied stubbornly: "China and Russia can only coexist peacefully when they are in the balance of power." If one is stronger than the other, then the other is certainly not safe. During the Soviet era, China suffered from threats from the north, so an overly powerful Russia was not ideal for China. ”

"Mr. Lin, you are very straightforward." Piyuzin complimented with a non-smiling smile.

It's not that I'm straightforward, but because this is a truth that everyone on the earth knows, and it's not interesting for me to hide it, Lin Zhenhua thought to himself. He continued: "But now that the USSR has collapsed, the state of the Russian economy, I don't need to say more, right? In many words, I think that if Russia's economy continues to decline, it will not be a good thing for China. China needs a powerful Russia to share international pressure with China. ”

Lin Zhenhua said this more artistically, if he wanted to be more straightforward, he could say that China actually needs a relatively strong Russia to act as a shield for China. Piyuzin knew the subtext of Lin Zhenhua's words, and he asked: "Mr. Lin, what you just said is your personal opinion, or is it the official Chinese opinion?" ”

"I have no authority to represent the official." Lin Zhenhua said, "What I said is just my personal opinion. However, I think people of insight in China should be able to see this. The top level of the Chinese government should have a broader vision than I do. ”

Piyuzin was silent for a moment, then said, "Thank you, Mr. Lin, thank you very much for being able to speak your mind frankly. I have invited you here today because Academician Saviev recommended you to me, and he believes that we should be able to carry out some more in-depth cooperation with you. ”……，
