15 and a few days later

Li Tie shook his head and said, "No...... No. ”

The person who came said sharply: "No." Is there really none? ”

Li Tiedao: "There really isn't. I don't dare lie to you. ”

The visitor walked back and forth a few steps and said, "Then do you know what he is doing when he returns to China?" ”

Li Tiedao: "He didn't say it, and I didn't dare to ask." You know, you can't ask around what we're doing. ”

The visitor nodded and said, "He returned to China, and it is said that his father is about to die." As a son, his father is dying, and it is normal to go back and look at his father. Before he returns home, it is normal to meet you and explain his work. But, what is not normal is that he should not endure his sadness to have fun. ”

Li Tiedao: "You mean, he went to Huayue Tower?" ”

"You don't need to know here. I suspect that the purpose of his return to Russia here will not be so simple. His suitcase, in particular, was the most suspicious. Do you know what's in the suitcase? ”

Li Tiedao: "When you say this, I also remember, his suitcase is indeed a little suspicious, he carried it in his hand, and he didn't even let me touch it." ”

Human: "He and you have always been in one-line contact, he has returned to China, has he explained who will replace him and contact you?" ”

Li Tie shook his head and said, "No." He only said that he would be back soon. ”

The person who came nodded, took out a wad of coins, and handed it to Li Tiedao: "I analyze, he will never easily interrupt your line here, and for a period of time here, there will be information that will be passed through you." If someone contacts you, you need to figure out what's in your suitcase as soon as possible. ”

Li Tie took the coin, put it in his arms and said, "I know, I know." The moment he exited the door, a sneer appeared on his face.

A few days later, Karanishkov returned to the famous city of Haishanwei in the Far Eastern Territory of the Soviet Union. Kalanishkov came to pick up Nikolayevich, captain of the security apparatus of the Soviet Far Eastern Territory. Nikolayevich was dressed in military uniform, full of energy, and at first glance he was shrewd and capable. Reaching out from afar, he grabbed Karanishkov's hand, shook it hard, pulled Karanishkov into his arms, hugged and patted Karanishkov on the back and said: "Comrade Karanishkov, you have worked hard. It's a pleasure to see you again. ”

Karanishkov also patted Nikolayevich on the back and said: "Comrade Nikolayevich, thank you, thank you for coming to pick me up in person." ”

The two hugged each other tightly for a few minutes before Nikolayevich let go of Karanishkov and said: "You have been fighting in a foreign country for the motherland all year round, and it is my honor to come to pick you up." Comrade Karanishkov, although you have returned to the Motherland, due to the work of the organization, it has been decided that you will not be able to act in public. So, during the time you return home, you can only stay at the Maxi Hotel. Whatever happens, you can only contact me through a single line. ”

Karanishkov nodded: "Comrade Nikolaevich, I understand. You don't have to explain. ”

Nikolayevich smiled, put on a gesture of invitation and said: "The car is parked in front, Comrade Karanishkov, then please get in the car." ”

Getting into the car, Nikolayevich got to the point: "Comrade Karanishkov, why do you have to personally return home and report to the organization?" Did you encounter any insurmountable difficulties over there? ”

Karanishkov nodded: "There are indeed difficulties, but they can all be overcome. The time I came back here was an extremely important piece of information to report to the organization. Comrade Nikolayevich, if necessary, I would like to personally go to Moscow and report directly to the Supreme High Command. ”

Nikolaevich said: "Comrade Karanishkov, what intelligence, so important? ”

Karanishkov said mysteriously: "The intelligence is in the suitcase that I carry with me. As soon as you arrive at the Maxi Hotel, you will know it immediately. I assure you. Comrade Nikolaevich. ”

The Maxi Hotel is located on the outskirts of the city, and the reason why you chose to stay here is undoubtedly mainly due to confidentiality considerations. The hotel room is also booked in advance, as long as you get the room card at the bar, you can check in directly. Although the hotel is partial, the room is acceptable, and the decoration is not luxurious, but it is also warm. Nikolayevich led Karanishkov inside and out, and said in a slightly apologetic tone: "Comrade Karanishkov, now it can only be like this." I hope you don't mind. ”

Karanishkov said: "Comrade Nikolayevich, this is very good. I also like it very much. ”

Nikolaevich said: "I am very happy that you can like it. It's a pleasure to be of service. Comrade Karanishkov, now that you are safe, can you tell me what important information made you have to return home in person? ”

Karanishkov said: "Of course you can now. Opening the suitcase, taking out a graphite sample, he said: "Comrade Nikolayevich, what do you think this is?" ”

Nikolayevich took it in his hand and hesitated: "Is it a graphite sample?" ”

Karanishkov nodded: "Yes, it's a graphite sample." Comrade Nikolayevich, and is also a rare sample of superior large-scale flake graphite. ”

Nikolayevich said: "Found in China? ”

Karanishkov said: "Yes, it was found in China. ”

Nikolayevich jumped up excitedly and said: "Comrade Karanishkov, you are amazing. If such a graphite mine could be mined, it would have an immeasurable impact on the development of our country's heavy industry, and you would become an indispensable and legendary national hero in Soviet history. Your information is so important that I will immediately rush back and report it to the leading comrades at a higher level. As he spoke, he walked out, walked to the door, and turned back and said: "Comrade Karanishkov, you are an old agent, you should know how to hide yourself." I won't say more. It's okay to go out during the day as little as possible, and I'll let you know as soon as I hear the news. ”

Karanishkov said: "I know. Comrade Nikolayevich, rest assured, I will always be waiting for you here. ”

Nikolayevich saluted the standard Russian military salute and said: "Goodbye, Comrade Karanishkov." ”

Only a few hours later, Nikolayevich rushed back, and as soon as they met, Nikolayevich excitedly said: "Comrade Karanishkov, the superior leading comrades are very interested in the information you provided. He also instructed that the discovery of graphite samples must be kept strictly secret, and that the Japanese should not be allowed to know about it. ”

Karanishkov said: "At least for now, the Japanese will not know. ”

Nikolayevich nodded: "Personally, I am fully convinced that you are capable of this work, Comrade Karanishkov." The higher-level leading comrades also want to know how much graphite reserves there are and whether the local environment is suitable for mining. ”
