For behind is not Moscow ... For me, as long as it is not our great imperial capital. Nothing else feels like anything. It's just that the old guy said this so solemnly... It obviously made me feel a sense of danger. It seems that this time, what was originally a simple battle for control of the smuggling syndicate has changed its flavor and has turned into a secret struggle between two powerful political bodies in the East and the West.

The old guy probably didn't think our response was enthusiastic enough, and he continued: "I'm not scaring people. Open up the map and take a look. Where are these bastards active now? In Soviet times, if someone had told me that this would be the case one day, I would never have believed it. Nor will anyone believe it. But now that's the reality. I really can't go back anymore... ”

I nodded and said, "I understand." But... I'd love to know, did you get any message? And this news is not very pleasant? ”

Berezov, hearing me say this, immediately focused on the old fellow. The old guy opened his hands as if he wanted to continue singing a few more high notes, but after looking at the expressions of me and Berezov, he lowered his hands. Then he sighed and said, "That's right... Recently, I received information that the other side had formed a working group again not long ago. And the leader of this working group is my former team member. The information doesn't say what the specific mission of this group is, but from the fact that my former members appeared in this group, I think most of it has something to do with us. “

"Why are you so sure? Maybe he has something else to do? Berezov asked.

The old guy looked at him and shook his head, "No." A series of successful counter-attacks from our previous series could not have left them indifferent. When we cut off their claws to cross the line, it is actually a kind of crossing the line when they open it. For example, kill that traitor in Austria. And most importantly, the news I got from the Russian side is that the other side has not given up on the plan to deal with us, and not only has it not given up, but is still strengthening this plan, and we have now become a stumbling block to NATO's eastward expansion. And at a time like this, what can you do by putting that guy in charge of a working group? Do I need to explain this further? ”

"That... Could it be that the operation in Greece was instigated by this guy? I asked.

The old guy nodded, "Quite possibly." But I read Rebic's report. I think it's more of a temptation, which means the real battle hasn't started yet. “

"Temptation? What is there to tempt? I asked.

"Huh." The old fellow smiled at me, "Don't you see that they are also in a hurry?" Obviously not well prepared, and what do you think of the level of those people? Isn't it amazing? ”

"Forehead 。。。。。" I think back to the time, and if you do what the old guy said, it seems that these people are really not good... Otherwise, with us being unprepared, poorly armed, and with Zhao Yi's group of completely inexperienced and untrained people, we would be very passive, and the losses should be very large.

The old guy looked at my expression and continued to smile: "How is it? Do you think what I'm saying makes sense? I don't think the real commander of the other side has the expectation that he will achieve great results. If you have expectations, you will definitely not rush to do it, but you should wait, since you have found out, why hurry? So it's just a test before the actual war. ”

"Does that make sense so much? They're dead, too. And many more have died than we do. I said.

"Of course it makes sense." The old guy said, "I guess there are some internal filths in this operation. Hehe, fight for merit... It's everywhere. As a real newcomer, it's natural to see some idiots hit the muzzle. “

"Huh?" This passage from the old guy is very interesting. It sounds like he's figuring out the other party's situation and thoughts based on his own experience and experience. But in my opinion, most of the old guys have some reliable information to say so plainly.

"Then you think. Will we start a real and fierce fight with each other in the matter of Bodachev? Berezov asked.

"Maybe it's Bodachev, maybe it's in Bulgaria." The old guy said, leaning back in his chair, "These are the two places." I felt that the other side was ready, especially after I mentioned today that the guy named Yanev might have arrived in Ruse, on the Bulgarian border, and I felt this even stronger. “

Berezov and I looked at each other and said, "Can we be cautious this time?" I don't want to think about falling into a hole dug by someone else like I used to. “

"Of course!" The old guy leaned forward and said with some excitement, "Otherwise, what do you think I am doing here every day?" In fact, I have been preparing for this moment, and this is a battle of revenge for me, a battle to wash away shame. It's so important to me that I even think about it when I'm drunk ... “

"Uhh

"Don't look at me like that." The old guy waved his hand, "You know me, I never make a mistake because of drinking." Alcohol can get excited, you know. “

"So this time, will the entire seventeen rounds be devoted to this matter?" Berezov asked, "I mean, put a pause on everything else, go all out, and focus all your resources on this thing?" “

"Of course. Everything else is put aside for the time being, and it's all focused on this one. So you two don't have to worry about our lack of meticulous consideration and planning for the whole thing. The old guy said.

"Do you have any plans now?" I asked.

"Plan?" The old guy looked at me, "Aren't you aware of this?" Even now it seems that the other party wants to make a last effort against Bodachev, trying to cooperate through his son. But we don't have to change our plans. It's still to talk to Bodachev first, and then to do it. It's just that maybe you'll have to be more careful when we get there. ”

Just then, there was a knock on the door of the conference room, and the old guy said, "Please come in." Later, Zhao Yi pushed open the door of the conference room and walked in.

He sat down next to me and looked at the old guy and said, "I've got it there." That Turkish friend of mine agreed to my request. He would immediately contact Botakhev and meet with him soon. Probably this evening he will be able to meet Bodachev. And he had already arranged for his men to find this Bulgarian under the pseudonym Popov in Ruse, according to the information provided by Semolov. ”

"Very good!" The old guy nodded with satisfaction, "That means we'll know if Bodachev is willing to meet tonight, right?" “

"Yes. That's it. At least to know if he'd like to talk to me on the phone. Zhao Yi said.
