Chapter 432: Scam II
Škoda was once the most dazzling jewel in the crown of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. The mobile terminal is the second largest arsenal in Europe.
But now it's being swallowed by **Germany.
When the Soviet Ministry of Internal Affairs received urgent information that the Polish underground had secretly put four senior Škoda engineers of Jewish origin on the train, it sent an urgent telegram for the Interior troops in Chita to intercept it.
Now there is good news from Chita. Four engineers have been asked to get off the train in Chita. Now live in the NKVD in Chita.
Unfortunately, Kovalev, the head of the Chita NKVD, was hospitalized the day after the incident. It is said that Comrade Kovalev has long been unwell, has been gritting his teeth and insisting on work, and now he finally can't hold on to it and falls ill in bed.
Kovalev ordered Belinsky to take care of four guests before being hospitalized. Do a good job of the safety and security of the four guests. The implication is not to let these four people run away.
Four days later, five officers of the Ministry of Internal Affairs from Moscow arrived in Chita. They simply asked the four engineers about the situation.
Soviet intelligence officers in the Czech Republic learned from within the Polish underground intelligence organization that the four senior engineers had left Škoda and followed them all the way, but they were still a step too late. As for the photographs, the intelligence officers were not able to get their hands on them in a hurry. The only way to do this is to go back to Moscow for careful screening.
However, the five officers of the Ministry of Internal Affairs believed that since they had been stopped by the NKVD in Chita, they should have carried out a preliminary screening. It shouldn't be much of a problem now.
Five officers of the Ministry of Internal Affairs from Moscow made a simple handover with Chita, and then took the four engineers on the train back to Moscow.
The train back to Moscow stops and goes, slowly. From time to time, it is necessary to make way for trains transporting production and military supplies. Now the Soviet Union is already in a state of readiness for war.
Four engineers who were about to devote themselves to the production and construction of the Soviet Union and five officers of the Ministry of Internal Affairs gradually became familiar with each other on the road, and later the relationship became hot. Everyone kept talking and laughing along the way.
Seven days later, in the middle of the night, the train was about to arrive at the Kirov railway station. The two engineers quietly lay down on the top of the drunken train box, and they stood on the floor and pulled out a piece of rope from their pockets and strangled it around the necks of two officers of the Ministry of Internal Affairs who were sleeping in the lower bunks snoring loudly.
After a while, the door to the box opened, and the two engineers stepped out lightly.
One of the engineers walked to the door of another box and knocked lightly.
The door to the box opened, and two other engineers stepped out. The four of them exchanged glances with each other, then nodded their heads to indicate that they were done.
The train stopped at the Kirov railway station, and the four engineers got off one after another and disappeared into the night.
Until the fifth, and only surviving officer of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, woke up in the morning, he could not knock on the doors of the two boxes. I leaned my ear to the door and listened, but there was no movement inside.
When the attendants on the train used the keys to open the doors of the two compartments, four bodies with cold bodies and protruding eyes lay on the bunks and floor.
The train makes an emergency stop. The police and internal affairs of the USSR carried out carpet searches in a radius of more than a thousand kilometers east of Moscow.
However, there was no trace of the four Czech engineers. Disappeared in the vast expanse of the USSR.
Czech Skoda is famous for its light machine guns, and its artillery tanks are of excellent quality.
But this time, not only did it not get four senior engineers from Skoda, but it also lost four officers of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
A large number of KGB technicians and intelligence officers quickly arrived at the scene. But few clues can be found. Now it is only certain that the four men got off the train at the Kirov railway station.
Several senior officials of the Ministry of the Interior were dismissed for negligence and dereliction of duty. Then they launched an in-depth investigation to dig deep into the spies involved.
Even Comrade Kovalev, who was thousands of kilometers away, was severely reprimanded and had a major demerit recorded.
Xiaobao was urgently called to the office by Imaizumi Tadazo at noon a few days ago. He was accompanied by Captain Kazuyuki Okamoto.
"Qian Xiaobao, Chief Daxi Yanyi said that you know Ivanov, right?" Izumi asked directly after meeting.
"Is that the Pole?" Xiaobao asked uncertainly. There are too many people called Ivanov in Harbin.
"Yes, that's him." Imaizumi Tadazo nodded in reply.
"The two of you will rush to Manchuria immediately by train, and cooperate with the people of the Manzhouli branch to pick up people at the Manzhouli railway station. Ivanov will bring very important people over. You must keep them safe. Imaizumi Tadazo ordered.
When Ivanov, the head of the Polish underground intelligence organization, transmitted the information to the intelligence department of the Kwantung Army. The Ministry of Intelligence did not send people into the territory of the USSR to pick up people. The people sent out don't do much, and they will startle the snakes.
When Captain Kazuyuki Okamoto and Koho arrived in Manchuria by train, Tokuhiro Ishikawa, head of the Manchuria branch of the Ministry of Intelligence, had already received a telegram and was ready.
This time, they were mainly responsible for picking up people, and Xiaobao and Kazuyuki Okamoto were in charge of protecting the things sent to Harbin.
Ivanov was unimpressed by the preparations of the intelligence department of the Kwantung Army for the face of a great enemy. This time he was well prepared, and the four fake engineers he had handpicked from the Polish underground rebellion. The appearance is somewhat similar to the real person. And all are very experienced partisans.
It's just that he would never have imagined that the rough hands of these four people were tightly held by Comrade Kovalev when he was in Chita.
It's just that Kovalev, who didn't dare to take responsibility, pretended not to know and let it go.
When the train arrived in Manchuria, four Jewish engineers looked out at the somewhat desolate Manchuria.
"When you arrive in Harbin, you may think that you have arrived in a city in Europe." Ivanov said.
The people of the Manchurian branch were on guard below, and Kazunoko Okamoto and Ishikawa Tokuhiro pedaled on the train.
"There were four of my people who were taken away by the Soviets and don't know how it is now. But it shows that there are leaks within us. Ivanov couldn't wait to say in Russian when he saw Xiaobao and Kazuyuki Okamoto and others.
When he says this, we're really talking about the inside of the Polish underground.
"There wasn't anything wrong with the four engineers, was there?" Kazuyuki Okamoto asked.
Ivanov shook his head, then pointed to the carriage behind him.
"All rest in there, it's best not to disturb them now." Ivanov said. He dug into the corners of his Japanese friends, the Germans, and then sent four engineers to Manchukuo to the Japanese. The logic of this is best understood only by the Poles.
"The Intelligence Department of the Kwantung Army only sent the two of us to pick you up, for fear of attracting attention. But rest assured, there is absolutely no problem with safety. Kazuyuki Okamoto said and patted Xiaobao on the shoulder.
