And Andrei replied after careful consideration: "Comrade Krochkov, although this task is important, there can be no more people, because this time it is to find the whereabouts, create enough intelligence support for us to recover the cultural relics in the future, and at the same time obtain evidence of German plunder, rather than directly conducting combat operations, so this squad cannot have too many people, as for the captain, I recommend Lieutenant Leonov, an expert who went to Leningrad to rescue, as for the others, it is completely up to Lieutenant Leonov to choose by himself!" ”

And Crochkov nodded, for the candidate recommended by Andrei, Crochkov is still very confident, after all, Unit A was formed by the Ministry of Internal Affairs selected elite soldiers. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Then Andrei told a soldier standing guard outside the door to go and call Leonov!

And after Leonov came in, he saw that Crochkov was also there, so looking at the captain and Crochkov, he didn't know that he had to report to the leader first, Crochkov was a big man in the headquarters, and Andrei was his direct superior.

"Lieutenant, come here!" Krochkov, who saw his doubts, beckoned Leonov to the table and said to him: "Now that there is information that a German unit has come to the vicinity of Leningrad, and according to our understanding, they are going to transport away our precious antiquities that have been plundered, and I hope that you will immediately lead a lean detachment to find out where the Germans are sending these antiquities." How, do you have faith? ”

Leonov did not answer immediately, but carefully rhetorically asked: "Comrade Crochkov, allow me to ask what artifacts there are?" In order not to make Krochkov think that he was reckless, he deliberately explained, "It would be easier for us to scout if we knew exactly what was inside." ”

Crochkov turned to look at the curator sitting next to him, and asked for his opinion with his eyes.

And the curator behaved very reasonably, and after thinking for a moment, he said to Krochkov: "Comrade Crochkov, in order for them to quickly find out the whereabouts of the relics, you can tell him the specific information." However, in order to prevent leaks, he was the only one in the entire reconnaissance team who knew about it. ”

After getting permission from the curator, Krochkov turned his head to look at Leonov and said: "Comrade lieutenant, the next thing I want to show you is the information that lists the artifacts on it, but you must keep it secret?" ”

"What." Then Leonov said with a sense of responsibility in his tone: "You know, I am a native of Leningrad, and before the war, I had to visit the Catherine Palace where the 'Amber Room' was stored almost every year...... "Comrade Crochkov, for the sake of the motherland and our precious history, I am willing to protect him at the cost of my life?" ”

Crochkov turned his head to look at me and said with a smile: "Comrade Andrei, it seems that we have chosen the right person, and this reconnaissance captain of yours is very suitable." I haven't said it yet, he already understands the importance of the task. After saying that, he turned to Leonov again, "That's right, Comrade Lieutenant, your task is to track down this unit of the German army and find out where their last stop is, so that we can take action in the future and get back the Amber Room that the Germans have stolen." ”

Leonov said with a sad face: "But the situation of the German army is unknown, and I don't know where to go to find them." ”

It doesn't matter, and then Crochkov took out another document, and Andrei didn't come up reasonably, because he knew that this must be detailed information about the German army, according to the order, Beria was directly responsible for this matter, and his little captain didn't have to care too much or shouldn't he know it, in a place like the Ministry of Internal Affairs, sometimes if you know too much, I'm afraid it's not far from death!

And Leonov took the document from Crochkov and read it carefully

After Krochkov took back the documents, he solemnly asked Leonov: "Comrade Major, how many people do you plan to take to carry out this difficult task?" ”

Leonov thought for a moment, then replied: "I think five people will be enough." ”

"What! Five people?! Hearing this number, almost everyone was stunned. After a long time, Krochkov asked, "Will it be too little?" ”

"No, Comrade Crochkov." Leonov replied: "Five people are enough, and if there are any more people, it will arouse the suspicion of the Germans." ”

"Who are you going to take with you?" Because this matter is the most important, I waited for Leonov to finish speaking, and immediately asked eagerly.

Leonov looked at me and said: "Comrade Krochkov, since I intend to disguise the detachment as a German soldier, I first need a German interpreter. Although we had all studied German, we had to have a professional and the most suitable person for it: Second Lieutenant Godunov. ”

"In addition to me and Second Lieutenant Godunov, we also need a telegraph operator, because we need to get the information back by radio in a timely manner." Leonov continued: "The other candidate is an old scout Gesar Dashi, who has a lot of experience in reconnaissance, and if he goes, the success rate will be greatly increased. As for the last candidate, it's a bit of a problem. ”

Hearing Leonov say this, he suddenly stopped talking, and Crochkov couldn't help but ask a little anxiously: "Andrey, who else is the candidate?" ”

Leonov's eyes fell on the curator who was sitting next to him, who was almost ignored by everyone, and then said slowly: "I also hope that an expert who understands cultural relics can join our team, so that after we find cultural relics, we can identify whether they are genuine or not in the shortest possible time." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, the eyes of everyone in the room turned to the curator who was sitting there in a daze

After listening to this, the curator thought for a moment, and then said: "Comrade commander, if you need someone who understands cultural relics to accompany you, I think this should still be possible. Then he turned his face to Krochkov and said, "The military representative of our museum, who worked in the museum in Moscow before the war, has 15 years of experience in the identification of cultural relics, and he is the most suitable person to accompany you." ”

"Oh, your military representative, Comrade Curator?" Crochkov asked curiously: "Where is he?" ”

"He's already in Yekaterinburg."

"It's okay, I'll immediately ask my superiors to arrange a plane for him to come as soon as possible!" This is an urgent task at which the Ministry of the Interior can mobilize all resources
