421. Chapter 2 Kosheleva (2) Coercion
At the beginning of joining this joint project with country F, Kosheleva was really excited and honored, as a young person to enter the core department of this project, it is a treatment that ordinary people dare not even think of, but Kosheleva's excitement was shattered by a sudden arrival on the afternoon of a holiday, this person is Yeshchenko.
On Sunday afternoon, Kosheleva, who was alone on the street, had just finished lunch in a small restaurant and was about to check out and leave, when a middle-aged man suddenly appeared in front of her.
"Comrade Kosheleva, please don't leave in a hurry, there are some things I need to communicate with you, can I delay you for a few minutes?"
Although the words used are soliciting, it is obvious from the tone of the other party's speech that it is a kind of coercion.
The person who came made a slight gesture to Kosheleva in front of her, and then she took the lead in sitting down and coming in, and Kosheleva, who had already gotten up and was about to leave, seemed to be pulled by a strong traction, and involuntarily sat down again.
"Comrade Kosheleva, I'm Yeshchenko, please forgive me for being presumptuous, we've been following you for a while, and today I found you hoping that you could help us in some aspects, and I hope you can cooperate."
The middle-aged man, who claimed to be Yeshchenko, did not deliberately hide his identity, suggesting that Kosheleva herself was an agent of the Soviet intelligence service.
"I don't know, what can I do to help you, I don't know you at all, the main thing, why me?"
With a stomach full of incomprehension, Kosheleva asked timidly.
"Comrade Kosheleva, please trust our judgment, the reason why we have found you is to make sure that you meet our needs, and to be sure that you will indeed be of great help to us, Comrade Kosheleva, our country and our relevant departments, we hope to be able to get some relevant information and some relevant data from the laboratory where you are working on this project, of course, we do not want to force you to do something that you cannot do, Some of our requests are within your purview. ”
Kosheleva's face turned pale when she heard this, Kosheleva, who grew up in this country since she was a child, naturally knew what his true identity was for the person in front of her, who claimed to be Yeshchenko, out of instinctive reaction, Kosheleva's first reaction was to refuse, she knew very well that once she agreed to Yeshchenko's request, if the matter was revealed halfway, what kind of tragic outcome would it mean for herself.
"I'm sorry, I can't do this, it's not something I can do, you better find someone else to help, I won't help you."
Kosheleva's voice trembled, but she resolutely refused the request.
"Comrade Kosheleva, I don't think it's up to you to decide on this matter, and you know that there are not many people in the world who can refuse our request."
Ye Xianko did not raise his head, and his tone was the same as before, without any emotional component.
"And what if I refuse that? You must know that this is a kind of theft, it is a serious illegal act, and if the circumstances are bad, you will be sent to the gallows, this is not in the territory of the Soviet Union, you can't ask me like this, you can't force me to do this, I can even denounce you for this. ”
Kosheleva recovered a little from the initial panic and became more determined.
"Comrade Kosheleva, we didn't force you, I was discussing with you from beginning to end, we hope you can provide us with some help as much as possible, and all we ask for is some test data and the ratio of material composition, which is just a gesture for you, and it is not for you to do it every day, just let you follow the trend, so that even if it is noticed, it is not a big deal, if you have to refuse, we have no way, but we still hope that you will think about it seriously, Don't refuse easily, of course, we will not let you serve our country for free, you have made contributions to your country, the state will pay you the corresponding remuneration, this income can at least greatly alleviate the current living situation of your sister and brother, by the way, do you still have a younger brother? Isn't he studying at an academy in the country right now? It is said that you would love to take him abroad after he graduates, and we are glad to see that your wish will come true, and we do not want any unexpected situation to arise in the middle, do you say, Comrade Kosheleva? ”
Hearing this, Kosheleva's spirit was completely broken, and she buried her head in the crook of her arm, and began to cry bitterly.
Kosheleva, who grew up in the Red Empire, had no feelings for this country at all, when she was still very young, her parents, who were engaged in social science research, were suppressed by some people with ulterior motives because of the straightforwardness of some words, although this matter was later rehabilitated by the successor leaders, but this is far from the pain of Kosheleva losing her parents and suffering discrimination since she was a child, which is also a fundamental reason why Kosheleva left other countries as soon as she graduated, she wanted to find a relatively stable and acceptable to herself. can also accept her own country, come to country N here is that she is no stranger to the system here, and no one here understands her past, and then she is lucky to find her own counterpart major here, Kosheleva plans to be able to pick up her younger brother who has not yet completed her studies after she settles down, sister and brother have been dependent on each other since childhood, she can't bear to leave her brother alone over there, but she didn't expect that Kosheleva, who has been wronged to survive and dare not provoke any right and wrong, In the face of Yeshchenko, who appeared in front of him out of thin air and had a background of powerful tools of the state, Kosheleva really had no ability to fight at all, and in the face of the huge, sinister, and diverse intelligence agency behind Yeshchenko, the weak Kosheleva was not as good as an ant.
Kosheleva knows that from now on, even if she runs to the ends of the earth, she will not be able to get rid of the control of these people, but what makes Kosheleva puzzled is how these people find and circle themselves in the vast sea of people, is this just to obtain the limited experimental data that she can know and is not too valuable?
It was lunchtime, and Kosheleva's sobs attracted the attention of some of the guests who came in and out, and some of them began to pay attention to the movement with wary eyes.
Seeing Kosheleva's emotions out of control, Yeshchenko was also a little overwhelmed, he glanced at the strange eyes around him, reached out and patted Kosheleva on the shoulder across the dining table, and his words were much softer.
"Comrade Kosheleva, don't be like this, you don't want to think so complicated and dangerous, in fact, our requirements are also some very simple things, we don't want you to do those things that you can't do, dangerous things, just let you do your best to provide some valuable information for our national construction and national defense construction, in normal times you can maintain your consistent rhythm of life and live your normal life, we don't mean that you will be put into action immediately, and you will want to see results immediately. I just hope that you have this in mind and do your part for our country as long as the conditions allow. ”
Under Yeshchenko's combination of soft and hard, Kosheleva had to reluctantly agree to the other party's request, otherwise what else could she do? It is impossible to compete with the other party on her own, but Kosheleva made it clear in advance that she does not guarantee that the information she collects will be the valuable information they need, and with her position, it is impossible to access the research and development information with a higher level of secrecy.
For Kosheleva's last words, Yeshchenko also nodded in approval, he knew in his heart that now the work of collecting Kosheleva is just the beginning, they have further plans, they need to make good use of Kosheleva's chess piece, now just pull Kosheleva on the boat first, and other aspects must be slowly advanced, in a hurry.
Fortunately, not long after Yeshchenko's contact with Kosheleva, and before the mission assigned to Kosheleva by Yeshchenko had not yet begun, the Red Empire collapsed, and the much-smelling intelligence agency was disbanded, and many ongoing tracking projects were ruined by the drastic reduction of personnel.
With the disintegration of that empire, the deeply affected country N also began to be in chaos, and the continuous demonstrations and demonstrations in various places almost paralyzed the entire manufacturing industry of country N, and the withdrawal of country F brought this cooperation project to a complete standstill.
Since the person named Yeshchenko came into contact with him in the restaurant until now, that person seems to have evaporated half of the world, and can no longer find the slightest information about him, Kosheleva secretly feels glad in her heart, glad that the changes in the world in the past two years have freed her from her troubles, the stop of the project has given Kosheleva enough reasons to give her a reason for nothing, Kosheleva often wonders if the disbanded intelligence service has long forgotten the instructions they have given to her, Is this plan attached to himself no longer in place?
Despite the suspension of the project and the fact that most of the staff had left here, Kosheleva still won the opportunity to stay here for herself, and many colleagues were incomprehensible to stick to this place with a meager salary, many colleagues introduced new jobs to Kosheleva, but they were all politely declined by Kosheleva, she didn't want to go, she just didn't dare to go, Kosheleva was not sure if the intelligence agency that had changed her identity really gave up on her side, once she acted rashly, Fearing that her brother, who was still studying there, would be in danger, Kosheleva insisted here to wait for her brother to finish his studies.
