In Kharkov, the Red Star Mechanical Plant is the oldest large state mechanical plant, founded in 1965.

Covering an area of about 500 acres, the factory has more than 5,000 employees, and the annual GDP accounts for 12% of the GDP of the entire Kharkiv region.

The five-meter-high iron gate, which Zhong Bai had been to many times before, was just a little brother in front of this pomp.

There is even a 500-meter-long street outside the factory, with all kinds of shops, apparently for the factory workers.

Although it was past the time of the morning to go to work, Zhong Bai could still see many people coming and going in the store after getting off the bus, most of them women.

"This factory looks so magnificent, it is almost on the scale of our Tiandu Iron and Steel Plant...... "Although it is not a developed Western industrial country, Jiang Xinpeng is going abroad for the first time after all, and when he sees this scene, there is also a trace of envy in his tone.

"Hehe, it's just a few years, this time and that time, in the future, our country will be more than this magnificent big factory." Zhong Bai didn't have that sense of blind worship, and commented lightly.

Before the collapse of the Soviet Union in the 90s, Ukraine could indeed be regarded as one of the most developed heavy industrial areas in the entire Soviet Union, after all, the first aircraft carrier "Waglian" purchased by China in 1998 was produced in Ukraine.

However, with the ladder of the Soviet Union, after the independence of Ukraine, it took a completely different development route, because too much emphasis on the development of other industries led to the full hollowing out of the proud heavy industry, a large number of workers lost their jobs, and the whole country also fell into a slump situation, and soon the per capita GDP was caught up and surpassed by China, which is a typical negative example of choosing the wrong development route, Zhong Bai naturally does not have any sense of worship for them.

The appearance of two yellow men with oriental faces attracted the attention of several women on the side of the street before they even reached the factory gate.

"Look, there are a few Orientals!"

"Which country? It looks pretty good. ”

"It can't be an RB spy, right?"

"Hurry up and report to the branch!"

“……”

I have to say that the impact of the Cold War between the East and the West on ordinary people in recent years is still quite big, Zhong Bai and Jiang Xinpeng never thought that they had already been identified as RB spies by several alert women without even saying a word to the locals as soon as they got out of the car!

As for why RB spies and not other spies......

That's because in their propaganda, Huaguo is simply a younger brother who has no foundation at all, how can someone from this kind of country go abroad to Ukraine, then think about it, of course, only the most developed RB in Asia!

Zhong Bai didn't know about the report on the woman, and he was still observing how to enter the gate at the moment!

Because the attendance time has passed, there is no scene of a large number of workers entering the factory, only a few cadres go in one or two from time to time, Zhong Bai noticed that before each of them enters the factory, they have to show a card like a pass to the doorman, and they can only enter after the other party verifies.

It seems that the usual management of Hongxing Machinery Factory is still very strict, which is also in line with the consistent concept of strict institutionalized management of Soviet-style enterprises.

At this time, Zhong Bai's stomach suddenly "grunted~", and he realized that he seemed to have only eaten a small cake when he went out in the hotel, and he was hungry.

"It seems that you can't get in without a pass." Zhong Bai said to Jiang Xinpeng: "Let's go to the store next to us and inquire, and buy something to eat by the way." ”

"Okay."

The two of them walked to a nearby leba (shop), which is the most common food serving point in the Soviet Union, and rows of large leba are neatly placed on the counter.

A female state-owned saleswoman was cleaning with a rag with her back to clean up, and when she heard movement behind her, she immediately turned around and subconsciously asked: "Vasily (comrade), what do you need to buy?" ”

Zhong Bai pointed to the half-wheat Daleba in front of him with a smile on his face, and said, "Vasily, we need two half-wheat Daleba and two bottles of soda, thank you." ”

The saleswoman looked at it and found that it was two completely different yellow-skinned customers, obviously confused by the other party's fluent Russian, and was stunned for a long time before whispering: "You guys...... Is it a foreigner? ”

"Yes, we are ......"

Just as Zhong Bai was about to introduce himself briefly, two black figures suddenly rushed out from the door of the store behind him, pounced on him without saying anything, and immediately surrounded him and Jiang Xinpeng!

Two policemen wearing Soviet-style caps looked at the two with vigilant eyes, and one of them said in a cold tone: "What nationality are you from?" Why does it appear near the Red Star Machine-Building Factory? Get your documents out now! ”

At this time, several more women rushed in at the door, and seeing that the police had temporarily controlled the two, they immediately pointed at Zhong Bai and Yu Dongfeng and said: "Police Vasily, it's these two guys, they have been sneaking around at the factory gate just now, they must be RB spies!" ”

Rub, Zhong Bai reacted instantly, daring to love that this is to beat them into spies!

"Police Vasily, we are not RB spies, we are from China, here are our passports." Zhong Bai said as he took out the passports of the two from his satchel and handed them to the policeman who questioned him: "We are here to negotiate business in Kharkiv City. ”

The policeman suspiciously took the passport with the red cover from Zhong Bai's hand, opened it and examined it carefully.

Zhong Bai thought that this should be no problem, but it was obvious that the police did not intend to let him go, but returned Jiang Xinpeng's passport to the other party first, but instead held Zhong Bai's passport in his hand, and asked rhetorically: "Why did you transfer your visa from RB?" What exactly are you coming to Kharkiv for? ”

Rub, I didn't expect that the transfer from RB that I arranged at that time actually hit this rhythm, Zhong Bai shrugged and said: "Police Vasily, don't you know the current foreign affairs relationship between our Huaguo and the Soviet Union?" Most people can't apply for a visa for a direct flight, so we have to go through a third country to get here. ”

"Then why could he?" The police immediately pointed at Jiang Xinpeng: "The two of you go to Ukraine in completely different ways, why can you meet here?" Let's go back to the bureau with us and explain clearly! ”

This time, without waiting for Zhong Bai to distinguish, the two tall Ermaozi policemen couldn't help but take a step closer, and directly grabbed the arms of the two people and pushed them out!

Nima's eggs, why was it so bad luck to come to Ukraine this time?

Forget about eating the closed door of the Red Star Machinery Manufacturing Factory, and now he is mistaken for a spy by the local police, and he is asked to the sub-bureau early in the morning for questioning!
