Ulyanova said disdainfully: "My whole family was against the Bolsheviks, so they either died in Russia or fled here." But the younger brother of the old man Seryosha was a big man in the Soviet Red Army. ”

"Who is it? How do you know? Xiaobao asked curiously.

"These things are still a secret. But you'll find out in a few days. Ulyanova closed her mouth at this time.

Xiaobao is now eager to break open Ulyannova's mouth and pull out her tongue.

However, he kept smiling and sent Ulyannova home, and quickly slipped away while Ulyannova's mother had not yet appeared.

Seeing Xiaobao fleeing in the wilderness, Ulyanova couldn't help but laugh out loud.

On the morning of the next day, the intelligence department of the Kwantung Army gathered more than two dozen young intelligence officers together to give a mission.

There were Japanese, Russians and Manchurians in it. Xiao Bao was the youngest among these people, and he had the highest military rank among the four or five Manchurians, so he stood at the forefront.

Standing with Xiaobao is also Hideko Kono.

Hideko Kono's heart was full of anger. She already knew the general content of the mission. Such an important task actually has to let Qian Xiaobao participate, isn't the Intelligence Department of the Kwantung Army afraid that the bamboo basket will be empty?

"From now on, you will take off your military uniforms and go to the Yamato Hotel to serve as a waiter. In these two days, you should study hard and become a real service person! Shan Gang Daowu ordered.

"Yes!" More than twenty people replied in unison.

Yamato Hotel is a chain of hotels operated by Manchuria Railway Co., Ltd. The Yamato Hotel in Harbin was originally built by the Russians. Situated on Station Street in extreme luxury. It is a place for the activities of military and political dignitaries.

When Xiaobao walked up the steps of the Yamato Hotel, he turned his head to look in the direction where the old man Seryosha lived not far away.

Two days later, in the early morning, a train from Manchuria stopped at Harbin Railway Station.

Several Manchukuo officials and Japanese representatives were already waiting on the platform to greet the guests from the Soviet Union.

Several Soviet servicemen stepped off the train. The head of one person is about forty, and the rank is a major general. He was the Soviet negotiator Bogdanov who went to Harbin this time to continue negotiations with the Manchukuo government and Japanese government officials. When he was a child, his parents and older brother affectionately called him Little Ivan.

"Welcome friends from the USSR. We are ready at the Yamato Inn, and we want to welcome you all to wash the dust. An official from the Manchukuo government stepped forward and said.

The Battle of Nomenkan was caused by a territorial dispute between the newly formed state of Mongolia and Manchukuo. However, it led to a major fight between Japan and the Soviet Union.

After the end of the war, the first conference on the demarcation of the state border was held in Chita, Transbaikalia, in December 1939. Representatives of Japan, Manchuria, the Soviet Union and Mongolia attended the meeting.

It is January 1940, and the second meeting will be held in Harbin. The chief negotiator of the Soviet Union was none other than Major General Bogdanov, chief of staff of the corps under Zhukov.

He didn't know that his brother was waiting for him not far from the Yamato Inn, where he was now staying.

Since the intelligence department of the Kwantung Army sent all young intelligence officers. So the highest rank in this is Hideko Kono. She is also the busiest these days. It took her a lot of time to direct and supervise the technicians who followed to install bugs and candid cameras. Also check the studies of other people, so as not to let the Soviets see the flaws when working as a service person.

Xiaobao sat in a basement room in snow-white clothes to rest. He's now a runner in the Yenisea restaurant. Ulyanova sat across from him in a black dress with a white apron.

There are two Western restaurants in the Yamato Inn. One is the Volga restaurant and the other is the Yenisea restaurant. In addition to Western food, there are also Japanese restaurants. The negotiated arrangement was for Soviet guests to dine at the Yenisea restaurant. So there are several intelligence officers concentrated here.

The Yamato Hotel has two floors above ground and one basement. In addition to the 56 guest rooms on the two floors, there are also restaurants, offices, dressing rooms, flower rooms, and so on.

On the basement level, there is a wine cellar, a food warehouse, a mechanical cold storage, and a dormitory for service personnel.

Xiaobao was laughing with Ulyannova when she suddenly got up from the bed like a spring.

It turned out that it was Hideko Kono who walked in.

"Sit down, there's still half an hour to go. Soviet negotiators were gossiping with people from the other three parties. This is also a necessary procedure before the negotiations. An hour later, the Quartet negotiators will hold a reception at the Yenisea Restaurant. Hideko Kono looked at her watch and said with a smile.

"Qian Xiaobao, the Yenisea restaurant is dominated by you, so you must not make mistakes. Drink more and let them drink enough so that they can speak freely. Hideko Kono instructed.

"Yes!" Xiaobao still replied habitually.

"This negotiation concerns the territorial map of Manchukuo, and we must not be careless. It can't be like the pigs of the Mantetsu Corporation. Hideko Kono suddenly said hatefully.

"What's wrong?" Ulyanova asked curiously.

"For this negotiation, both the Manchukuo side and the Japanese side have made a lot of preparations. Including going to Peking and Tokyo to find geographical documents of the Qing Dynasty. I didn't expect that it was the Manchurian Railway, but there was a problem. Hideko Kono said through gritted teeth.

"More than ten years ago, a large area near the Haraha River was assigned to Mongolia in the materials printed by the Manchurian Railway. If the Soviets bring this information out during the negotiations, we will not move. It's a slap in the face with our own profile. Hideko Kono said with a sigh.

"Is there no remedy?" Ulyanova asked.

"Fortunately, this material was printed very little, and the Soviets probably didn't notice it. They have now been ordered to keep secrets and never reveal them. Hideko Kono said.

"Alright, you guys can rest for a while and get ready in the cafeteria. I'll check around again. Hideko Kono walked out after saying that.

In the hallway, Hideko Kono stopped. She just deliberately told Xiaobao about Mantie. This matter is only known to a few people in the Eastern Army Intelligence Department and the Manchurian Railway. She now wants to see if the Soviets will throw this information out during the negotiations.

This incident was the bait that Hideko Kono gave to Qian Xiaobao. If Qian Xiaobao was from the Soviet side, he would definitely bite the hook.

Xiaobao sat on the bed and felt a little uneasy. The elder brother of one of the Soviet negotiators was now in the hands of the intelligence department of the Kwantung Army. And what Hideko Kono said about Mantetsu just now is definitely important information.

What Xiaobao has to do now is when to send these two pieces of information to Zhang Fengguang.
