"Belenko is dead?" In Moscow, at 11 Lubyanka Square near the Kremlin, inside the KGB headquarters, a burly old man in good spirits said: "Is this what we did? ”

Andropov has been in charge of the KGB for nearly ten years, and under his leadership, the KGB has grown into a huge monster with tentacles reaching out to the whole world, and has made great contributions to the Cold War with the United States.

However, in the recent incident of Belenko's defection, the KGB made a fool of himself, and they actually found nothing.

Hearing Andropov's question, the deputy on the side said: "We didn't do it." ”

If it was done by his own side, it would indeed be a very happy thing, after all, Belenko, the defector, was killed by his own side, so that the whole world saw the fate of the defector, and it was also a warning to others, as long as they dared to betray the Soviets, then there was only one end!

But now, it wasn't you who did it, who did it?

"That is, this is a play directed by the Americans themselves." The shrewd Andropov, who quickly saw through all this: "So that they can justifiably return only the MiG-25 fighters, and they can exchange them for their EP-3 and crew members?" ”

Andropov stood up and walked back and forth in his office a few times, this matter is not easy to handle.

As long as the KGB admits that it was its own side, then the incident will gradually subside, and at the same time, it will also give the KGB a long face, and the rest of the Kremlin will also be satisfied with the KGB because of this.

It seems to admit that it is better.

However, this is not safe, what if the parties exchange planes and personnel, and then, after the Americans, announce that Belenko arrived in the United States safe and sound? Isn't that a slap in the face of the KGB?

There is no doubt that the Americans are afraid that this is the idea, right?

It's not that easy to set yourself up!

After all, Andropov had come from the top of the hierarchy, and if such a small means could have made Andropov fall for the scheme, he would not have become the general secretary of the Soviet Union later.

Andropov analyzed it thoroughly, and the deputy on the side continued to ask: "Then should we announce it to the outside world and expose such despicable behavior of the Americans?" ”

Andropov shook his head.

There is a reason why the Americans are so bold in their deception.

This matter has been spread wildly by the outside world, and everyone is afraid of the KGB, no matter the ends of the earth, as long as it betrays the Soviets, there is only one end!

Now, if this is denied, where will the KGB's face go? It turned out that it wasn't the KGB who did it, and the KGB didn't have the ability to do it, what a disappointment!

In addition to the fact that the KGB has lost its own prestige, the Americans can also continue to fish in troubled waters, and the propaganda is that the KGB did it, and it has done it, so what is there to dare to admit?

When the time comes, whatever the KGB says will be wrong, and no matter what it says, it will be considered that the KGB did it!

Although the other party's method is very naïve, I have to say that it is a problem for himself.

Obviously, he didn't do it, and he might be slapped in the face in the future, but if he denies it now, it's even worse.

"So what are we going to do?" The deputy asked.

"Hmph, it's not so easy for the Americans to fool us like this!" Andropov said: "Didn't they say that we killed Belenko? Well, in the follow-up negotiations, if the Americans want to return their crew members, then exchange Belenko's corpse! ”

Andropov hit the nail on the head and went straight to the point, even if it is fake, it must become true!

Didn't the Americans pretend that Belenko was assassinated by the KGB? Then the corpse is required now, as a necessary condition, to see if they want to really kill Belenko in exchange, otherwise, if you want to exchange group members, no way!

Andropov's words instantly ushered in a burst of echoes from his subordinates: "Chairman, your method is too clever!" ”

There is no need to admit that it was not done by oneself, as long as the corpse, then, the fake assassination, it will become real, see how the Americans take it!

Well, just send Lenko's wife and children to the island country to identify them personally, and the Americans must not be fooled with a random corpse.

……

Osaka, Hospital.

"I'm not dead?" Belenko looked at Jim in front of him and asked in disbelief, he didn't die? I remember that the other party fired three shots! At that time, my chest felt a little painful, but now it doesn't hurt anymore?

Belenko sat up in disbelief and felt it again, well, the front chest was indeed fine.

"We were just directing a play." Jim said, "Now that you're a dead man, you don't have to worry about the KGB going against you." They won't be interested in the dead anymore. ”

Dead person? Belenko reacted slowly, and felt pain in his chest at that time, in fact, it was the feeling of special bullets hitting him, and the warheads of those bullets were red paint, which imitated that he was bleeding from a bullet, and it was just a scene.

Now, in the eyes of the outside world, he is a dead man, and he will no longer be tracked by the KGB, and he can live the rest of his life in peace.

The Americans' plan is really thoughtful!

"So when are we going to the United States?" Belenko asked.

"Soon, trust us." Jim's words were brief.

Until the Soviets are negotiated, everything is unknown.

At this time, in Tokyo, a negotiation is taking place.

Mitry Polyansky, the Soviet envoy to the island country, had a rather serious expression on his face: "Belenko, we are a citizen of the Soviets, even if he dies here, we will transport his body back, this is a necessary condition, you don't agree to this condition, and the rest is not to be discussed!" ”

We just want Belenko's corpse, we can't give it if we don't give it!

And here, Peter, the head of the American side, immediately became angry: "You Soviets, do you want to be shameless!" Belenko went to the United States of his own free will, but you shot him at the airport, and now, we just want to carry out Belenko's last wish and bring his body to the United States, and you don't even let go of his body! ”

In negotiations, there is no need to give so much face, even in the US House, there will be physical conflicts, and now, Peter is quite angry.

"Hmph, you know who killed Belenko, I just conveyed the will of the Moscow side, Belenko's wife and children will come here soon to identify the body, this is a prerequisite for our other negotiations, if you don't want to, then we can postpone it indefinitely."
