012 Visit to the Soviet Union

When he woke up, Huang Ke found himself in the sky above Moscow, and through the swing window of the plane, he had seen the round top of the Kremlin Tower.

After a long day of trekking in Moscow, the delegation finally arrived at the destination of its first visit, and this excitement and joy swept away the fatigue along the way. By the time the "Grand Vime" plane landed at the Moscow airport, Soviet Red officers and soldiers in tweed coats and Budyonny military caps had already begun to line up to welcome them.

Before getting off the plane, Huang Ke still washed his face with warm water, then tidied up the national uniform on his body, and walked down the spiral ladder with strong steps. This trip was not easy, although the old "Daweimei" plane had a relatively long range among the planes at that time, it was only less than 1,000 kilometers, and Huang Ke and his people suffered a lot from Nanjing to Moscow.

Fortunately, there was no danger along the way, and finally arrived in Moscow safely, which also relieved the 14 boys and the secretaries who had been in charge of security work. To be honest, from the very beginning, when Huang Ke chose the plane, Fourteen Tsai strongly opposed it, he knew that the safety of the plane was not high, and it was more vulnerable to attack, and some heads of state did not even make planes for the rest of their lives, just for safety reasons.

But where does Huang Ke still have time to take trains and ships to transfer around the world, he chose planes against public opinion, and said that Zhang Zuolin can be attacked by ships, and no means of transportation is absolutely safe.

Since Huang Ke is not afraid, others are not good at saying anything, so the 40 seats on this "Daweimei" are full except for a few service personnel.

"My old friend, how about seeing you again at last? Can your body survive the cold weather in Moscow? Chicherin's hand and Huang Ke shook together, and the two greeted each other very warmly. Although Huang Ke was happy, he was dissatisfied in his heart.

"Dear Comrade Chicherin, the bitter cold in Moscow is just right for us to drink and talk." Huang Ke also warmly replied to his old Chinese friends, although Huang Ke was very enthusiastic, but the entourage behind him was a little unhappy.

The fact that such a large and high-level delegation was received by only Chicherin and a few officers and men of the People's Commissariat for Foreign Affairs seemed to be a bit faceless. Especially the Checherin in front of him, Dog Day has a good relationship with Huang Ke on the surface, but in fact, he is secretly planning outside*.

Huang Ke noticed that behind Chicherin stood several officers wearing small-brimmed hats similar to tunic tunics, and he knew that this uniform was the standard uniform of the Soviet security organs, and it seemed that Lao Maozi still had a certain wariness of himself.

Outside the airport, several French Renault cars were already ready, and after a few Soviet Red Army soldiers on motorcycles in front of Chicherin made a gesture of invitation, Huang Ke unceremoniously sat in the main position with the back row and the driver's position staggered, and Fourteen Tsai followed closely, as a personal guard, he could not leave Huang Ke half a step.

Chicherin also got into the Renault, and the already loose space became even more cramped. Chicherin smiled and said, "Sir, let me show you around Moscow." ”

Saying that, the driver started the car, the convoy of Renault cars began to drive out of the airport, the top of the Kremlin's round tower looked more real, and the snow-covered Moscow did have a unique style, but Huang Ke was not in the mood to appreciate these at this time, and it could be seen that the Soviets did not welcome his arrival too much, and it seemed that the cooperation would not be so smooth.

"Comrade Chicherin, when will I be able to meet with Comrade Stalin? This meeting was on the previous itinerary. Huang Ke didn't talk to Chicherin too much, and said what he thought straight to the point.

Chicherin smiled and said, "Don't worry, my friend, go to the place where you live to take a hot bath first, and then eat some food to replenish your strength." You know, Comrade Stalin has been so busy lately that I, the chairman of the People's Commissariat for Foreign Affairs, have to wait in line for a week and only a few minutes to see him. ”

After listening to Chicherin's words, Huang Ke's face obviously changed a little, and he said with a hint of reproach: "Comrade Checherin, if I can't personally meet Comrade Stalin, then what's the point of my visit to the Soviet Union this time?" ”

"My friend, rest assured, Comrade Stalin, no matter how busy he is, will find time to talk with you." After comforting Huang Ke for a few words, he also smiled, obviously the goal he had expected had been achieved, and the more anxious the other party was, the more satisfied he was.

Huang Ke and the others were arranged to live in the Foreign Affairs Hotel. Here, a simple welcome banquet was also held on the Soviet side, which was also held at the Foreign Affairs Hotel. Large portraits of Lenin and Stalin hung in the lobby of the Foreign Affairs Hotel, and the host, a typical Slav, dressed in a black Caucasian shirt, enthusiastically introduced the guests from China.

The guests, most of whom were officials of the People's Commissariat for Foreign Affairs of the USSR and the State Political Security Bureau, stood up and applauded. After the hasty welcome ceremony, the attendants, dressed as a symbol of equality and freedom, begin to serve fragrant grilled steaks and wines, and then the welcome ceremony begins*, and after a feast, the drunken people begin to dance to the music.

The sound of leather boots on the wooden floor and the accordion and other musical instruments danced, and some members of the Chinese delegation even joined in, making the impromptu dance even more lively.

Although it was the middle of winter, the heating in the house kept the room warm like spring, a large fireplace was burning red, everyone in the room took off their thick cotton coats, and more and more people joined the dance team.

Huang Ke didn't have the heart to dance, so he ate some steak with vodka, and then went to the window to smoke.

He noticed that he was sitting at the table with a man in a turned-up military uniform, clearly a member of the security apparatus and an officer.

Huang Ke smiled and walked to his side and sat down, the man couldn't help but be stunned, but he quickly regained the calm that an intelligence officer should have, and he nodded politely to Huang Ke.

"This comrade doesn't like to dance either?" Huang Ke asked in Slavonic language, which he was not familiar with.

The man nodded, not saying much. Huang Ke took out a Mohe cigarette from his pocket and handed it to him, then asked with a smile, "What's your name?" ”

This time he did not refuse, he took the cigarette and whispered: "Nikolai Yezhov." ”

Huang Ke couldn't help but be stunned, what he didn't expect was that the person in front of him turned out to be the executioner of the "Great Purge" a few years later - Nikolai Yezhov.

Huang Ke smiled contemptuously, he didn't expect that the ill-fated Yezhov was still an ordinary public servant of the security organs, if he could be content, maybe he would have a dull life.

At this time, a beautiful piano music sounded, and Huang Ke looked up, but it was Chicherin who was playing Mozart's music there. I didn't expect this guy to do this.

Huang Ke listened quietly, and the people around him began to be attracted by the music, and out of politeness and fascination, they all made no noise, and at the same time Chicherin also played selflessly.

As soon as the song was played, Chicherin stepped down from the piano, and the guests around him thundered in applause. Huang Ke also smiled at this guy, it seems that many of these so-called people's officials are from the bourgeoisie.

After Checherin finished playing, he walked over to Huang Ke, who motioned for him a drink, but Checherin refused. Checherin is a heavy drinker, but this time he didn't drink a drop of alcohol, Huang Ke was a little strange, Checherin smiled and said: "My favorite thing in my life is fine wine, but now my body doesn't allow it." ”

Huang Ke secretly sighed that this guy wouldn't be suffering from some incurable disease, but his worries were unnecessary, because he would soon confront this plotter* diplomat again.

"My friend, I went to Comrade Stalin again today to report on you, and he told me that I could arrange a meeting with you the next morning, but before that you need to have a meeting with our comrades in the industrial sector. Rest assured, it's all arranged, and the meeting will take place tomorrow morning. Chicherin said these things happily.

The members of the delegation sitting next to Huang Ke couldn't hold back their excitement, but Huang Ke quietly expressed his gratitude, and then returned to his bedroom.

In the bedroom, the member in charge of industrial construction expressed his concern to Huang Ke: "Mr. Chairman, please give me all due respect, although the industrial level of the Soviet Union is better than that of China, it has not yet reached the level where it can be introduced. I don't think there's any need to waste more time here, we should aim for the US and Europe. ”

Huang Ke smiled after hearing this, and then motioned to Fourteen Tsai to search the house for eavesdropping equipment, and after making sure it was safe, he said: "You are right, I did not bring in any advanced industrial production equipment and machinery when I came to the Soviet Union, but we can use other things from them to learn." ”

Huang Ke said and motioned to Fu Guoqiang next to him to sit down, and then asked him how he felt about the Soviet Union? Fu Guoqiang bluntly said that the climate here is very uncomfortable, but when he came, he seemed to see a patrol aircraft formation.

Huang Ke nodded: "Although the Soviet Union has just emerged, it is a country with full stamina, and I want you to learn aviation here, because now only the Soviet Air Force is still fighting, and they have rich combat experience." In addition, the Soviet Union is rich in resources, and we can import from them in the early stage, and we can also use them to contain Japan, so that the Japanese can start a war a few years later, and then we will have more time to prepare. ”

After saying this, Huang Ke couldn't help sighing, time was running out.
