Makarov escorted the man to the crowd, while holding the gun to the deep-eyed and high-nosed Westerner, while quickly searching for this person in his mind, but he did not remember where he had seen this face, the man rolled his blue eyes, panting, and staring at himself, the two looked at each other for a while, the man let out two sneers, Makarov felt that he was despised by this man, and angrily pressed the muzzle of the gun to the man's temple, and then hysterically yelled at the guy: "Say, What is your name? What nationality? ”

The man sneered twice more, and slowly said in Russian: "Ivan, in fact, we are old acquaintances!" ”

"What?" Makarov was even more shocked, "You know my name, but I don't know you, we met?" ”

"There was once a one-sided relationship!"

"One-sided relationship?" Makarov was puzzled.

"Okay, old friend, don't treat me like this, I know how good you are, and I know what you want to know, put the gun down, and we can talk calmly." The man tried to break free from Makarov and Han Jiang's control, but was pressed to death by the two.

Makarov and Han Jiang glanced at each other, Han Jiang nodded slightly, that means let him go, this guy can't run away from his control! So, Han Jiang gently let go of his hand, and Makarov also withdrew the pistol on the guy's temple, but his gun was still held tightly in his hand in case of accidents.

The guy stretched out, but kept silent, and looked left and right from time to time, as if expecting his man to burst out of the fog and save him!

"Don't look at it, no one will come to save you, even if someone comes, I will let him come and go!" Han Jiang fiddled with the gun in his hand as he spoke.

The man stared at Han Jiang for a while, he didn't seem to understand Han Jiang's words, Han Jiang was so angry, he squeezed his eyebrows and stared for a long time, this guy didn't understand a word, Han Jiang glanced at Yelena, meaning to let Yelena go, so Yelena put a gun to the man's jaw and asked in Russian: "I know that you are the general, the general who has been hiding in the shadows!" ”

"General?" The man understood Yelena's words and laughed, "General...... General, haha, how do you know I'm a general?! ”

Everyone was stunned by this laughter, Yelena didn't know what to do for a while, Makarov quickly relented, approached the man, and whispered: "You must know the methods of the KGB, if you don't say it, I will use the most powerful methods of the KGB against you, you think clearly." ”

When the man heard this, he stopped laughing and stared at Makarov for a long time, and then slowly spoke: "Okay, I say! Ivan, and you, Tang Feng, Han Jiang, Yelena, you may all have heard of my name, my name is White! ”

"White! You're White? Yelena couldn't believe it, she tried to recall the photo of White who had been arrested in connection with the spy ship incident recorded in the KGB archives, but she couldn't make any connection between the old man in front of her and the White in the photo.

"So you're American?" Makarov asked rhetorically.

The man nodded, "Yes, I'm an American, and I used to be a CIA agent. ”

"Sure enough, it's you! It seems that Yelena and I are going in the right direction, you were the one who tried to pick up those riot trainees in Vladivostok back then?! ”

White nodded.

"And ...... And the 1986 spy ship incident, that White is also you? Without waiting for White to answer, Makarov asked, "But...... But what happened when Shchedrin met you, but when I gave him the archival photos of that incident, he didn't recognize you? ”

"Huh!" White laughed dryly, "That's all for later!" ”

"Also, what is your relationship with Burtenko?" Makarov asked again.

"Is he the 'General'?" Yelena couldn't wait to find out the mystery.

"Is there any smoke?" No one expected that White would come up with such a sentence in the face of those important questions.

Makarov touched his body, his cigarette has long disappeared at some point, it may have been left in the Valley of the Wild Wolf, or it may have fallen on the edge of the sea, he moved his eyes to Han Jiang, the cigarette on Han Jiang's body has long been gone, at this time, Yelena took out a box of ladies cigarettes from her body and handed one to White, White hesitated, but still took the ladies cigarette, lit it, took a puff, and spit it out gently, White seemed to enjoy this ladies cigarette, after two puffs, White asked Makarov slowly"Ivan, although you have no impression of me, but I am very impressed by you, you just asked me where I met you, do you remember the Gorky library of Moscow University that year? ”

"Gorky Library?" Makarov tried his best to reminisce in his memory, to reminisce...... The Gorky Library, he has been to it more than once, he has been there alone, with others, with Buldenko, but ...... But this White? Makarov, however, could not remember anything.

Seeing that Makarov still couldn't remember, White sneered twice and said, "It's normal not to remember, after all, it's a very distant thing, and we're just, just a one-sided relationship!" With that, White took the last puff of his cigarette and reluctantly exhaled a cloud in which his mind seemed to return to the distant past......

After a long time, White sighed and said, "I was still very young, an American student at Moscow University, but I had another identity - an agent of the CIA. Ivan, you should know that it was not easy for Americans to go to your country at that time, let alone collect intelligence, so the CIA took a fancy to me, a young international student, at that time, I only thought it was exciting and fun to be an agent, and without thinking too much, I accepted the CIA's invitation and joined them, and after two months of training, I came to Moscow.

But I didn't expect my spy career in Moscow to be so boring, and almost two years later, I found almost nothing, and I was not satisfied with it; To make matters worse, I felt more and more as if there was a pair of eyes staring at me in the dark, and I thought maybe I was overthinking, but as time went on, the feeling grew stronger, and I thought of the KGB, and I believed that I was being targeted by them, and I was terrified all those days; So, I reported to my superiors, hoping to return to China, and they were very dissatisfied, but finally agreed to my request, and I could return to China at the end of the semester in two months, ending my failed spy career, but in these last two months, the appearance of a person completely changed the trajectory of my life......"

Winter in Moscow came very early, and on this day, White borrowed two books from the Gorky Library and went to the garden next to the main building of the school to read as usual, which was his old habit, he did not like to read in the reading room, and preferred to read outside, even in the cold late autumn.

White was ready to enjoy his last two months in Moscow, and he had almost forgotten about his other role. But that afternoon, when White was holding a Russian novel on the garden bench and reading it in fascination, a slender black shadow appeared in front of him, White was still looking at the novel intently, but the black shadow in front of him stood motionless in front of the bench, curiosity prompted White to raise his head and look at the man, but the man had his back to the sun, White could not see the man's face clearly, and could only see that it was a tall and thin man.

At this point, the dark shadow spoke, "Warren White? ”

White was startled, his body trembled slightly, he hurriedly closed the book in his hand, and carefully looked at the person in front of him again, this person was tall and thin, wearing a long black trench coat, his face was expressionless, and his cold face exuded a murderous aura, especially the pair of deep-set gray eyes, White didn't dare to look at that person, because he had never seen such a cold pair of eyes, White avoided the person's gaze, but couldn't avoid his question, White nodded lightly, "What, you...... Is there anything wrong with you? ”

"You're American?" The man asked again.

White felt that although the man was asking himself, he seemed to have completely grasped his own situation, White couldn't help but get nervous, a bad premonition rose in his heart, and he nodded slightly, "Well, I ...... I'm an American, come to ...... Study abroad ...... Moscow State University"

The man still asked expressionlessly, "If I'm not mistaken, you still have an identity, a CIA agent, right?" ”

When White's identity was revealed, he was so shocked that he slipped the book in his hand to the ground, his heart was beating wildly, his mind was blank, and his mouth was completely out of control, "No, you recognized the wrong person!" ”

"Hmph," the man sneered, "I won't admit it, I've been observing you for a day or two." ”

White's premonition grew worse and worse, and at last what he feared came, and just as he was thinking and at a loss for what to do, the man said, "Come, get to know you, Yuri Pavlovich Bultenko." Colonel of the KGB. ”

Burdenko...... Captain? "White just wants to get out of here and get out of Moscow at this time. But this KGB colonel named Buldenko did not pull out a gun and handcuffs and arrest him! Instead, he took out his ID and shook it in front of White, and then sat down next to White slowly.

White was puzzled, he had been plagued by countless nightmares, in which he always dreamed that a group of tall KGB agents swarmed him, threw himself to the ground, and then punched him half to death, and then handcuffed himself to the interrogation room, and forced himself to tell all his secrets under the bright light! Everything is like in the 007 movie, but in front of him, his identity was exposed by a KGB colonel, but there was no big sweat rushing up, and no one handcuffed him, he didn't understand what this guy named Buldenko was going to do?

3

Buldenko sat down on the bench unhurriedly, lit a cigarette, took a deep breath, and then said slowly: "You don't have to be nervous, I didn't bring a gun or handcuffs today." ”

White felt that his identity had been exposed by this person, and there was no need to pretend anymore, but he calmed down a little and asked rhetorically: "Since you already know my identity, as a KGB officer, don't you need to arrest me?" ”

When Buldenko heard this, he laughed, and after laughing, he explained ambiguously: "Yes, for my country, you are an enemy, and I should arrest you, but for me personally, you are not my enemy, and you can even be my friend." ”

White still didn't understand what Burtenko meant, he decided not to go around in circles and asked bluntly: "Then why are you looking for me?" ”

"Because I need you to do me a favor!" Bultenko snuffed out the cigarette in his hand, turned to look at White and said.

White felt that when Burdenko said this, his attitude was very different from just now, and the atmosphere between the two eased significantly, White adjusted his mood and asked Burdenko, "Oh, then what can I do for you?" ”

"It's easy, introduce me to your boss." Burdenko's words are firm and unquestionable.

White was stunned for a moment, he heard the clue in Burtenko's words, and White asked rhetorically: "Can I think that you want to serve us?" ”

"You can think so, but I don't think so." Burtenko is another ambiguous remark.

"Then what do you mean ......"

"Cooperation!" Burtenko said firmly.

"Cooperation? How to cooperate? White was puzzled.

"I offer you something of interest, and at the same time I will develop some people within the KGB, and I am sure that you will definitely be interested in the goods we offer."

"How can I trust you?"

"I don't think your people are rice buckets, I will provide you with a few pieces of information that are not very important, but are enough to prove our strength."

"And what do you hope for?"

"A well-deserved reward."

White smiled, "Money is not an issue......"

Burdenko interrupted White and said, "Money is certainly not a problem for you, nor is it a problem for us, we need to get an assurance from you!" ”

"Oh, it seems you're not here for the money, at least not just for the money!"

"Of course not, we need you, and I mean the assurances of your immediate superiors that they will help us get out of here and accept us when we are no longer convenient to work for you."

"Of course, I thought you would have some special request!" White felt that Burtenko's request did not seem excessive.

"Please understand my condition, which contains two points: 1. I am talking about 'we', not me, and 2) I am saying 'when we are no longer convenient to work for you', what is 'when it is no longer convenient for you to work'? It's not up to you to decide, it's up to us! What do you think? Can you call the shots? ”

White slowly understood Burtenko's conditions, "I understand what you mean, I will consult my superiors first, I believe that your conditions will be met from above." ”

Unexpectedly, Burdenko shook his head, "Young man, you must know that I have come to see you at the risk of being killed, so you must be cautious!" Skip your superiors in Moscow and ask your headquarters directly, or you'll miss out on this great opportunity. ”

"Why? It's not in order! ”

"I don't care about your rules, I need to keep us safe, so if you don't want to mess things up, just do what I say."

White still couldn't understand why Burtenko was doing this, "but I didn't have the means to contact headquarters directly." ”

"Hmph, do you need me to tell you the phone number of your headquarters?"

"Directly with international calls? It's not proper and it's not safe. ”

"Remember, between 8:15 and 45 tonight, you can find a public phone and call your headquarters directly, and no one will listen to you. I'll only contact you, don't make any extraneous troubles, you also have people on our side, and if I find something wrong, I'll cut off contact with you immediately. ”

Bultenko finished speaking, stood up, and soon disappeared into the depths of the garden, leaving White still reminiscing about what had happened suddenly.

White sat alone on the bench and thought for a long time, suddenly, he looked around vigilantly, it was getting late, and he didn't find anything suspicious, White recalled every detail of the meeting with Burtenko just now, and when White remembered Burdenko's chilling gaze, his body shook violently, "Could it be that the eyes that have been monitoring themselves in the dark are these eyes?" White seemed to understand a lot in his heart that he might have been monitored by the KGB for a long time, but fortunately...... Fortunately, it was this Buldenko, otherwise he would have become a prisoner of the KGB long ago! Thinking of this, White was afraid for a while, he didn't know whether this was a good thing or a bad thing for him, if the above agreed to Buldenko's conditions, then it meant that his original plan to return to China was completely ruined, and he would continue to stay here and act as their liaison; But after thinking about it, White still couldn't resist the temptation of meritorious service, he thought that he had been in Moscow for two years, and this had finally made a little achievement, just a KGB colonel, it was enough to excite the headquarters, not to mention that there was more than one Buldenko, maybe ...... Maybe there is some big man behind him, and when he thinks about it, White is full of confidence in the future.

That evening, White reported to his immediate superiors by international distance at the time specified by Burdenko, and Shangma instructed him to accede to all of Buldenko's requests, and ordered him to remain in Moscow and act as Buldenko's contact person, all through a single line of contact.

The next night, White relayed the order of the headquarters at the agreed time and place, and after listening to it, Burdenko just nodded expressionlessly, and then took out a large brown paper bag and handed it to White, "I think you must be interested in this content." ”

White glanced at it cursoryly, it was all information on the Soviet Union's military deployment in the Far East, and White nodded, "We are indeed interested in this." ”

With that, White handed Burtenko a small envelope, "Here's three thousand dollars." ”

Buldenko did not open the envelope to inspect it, took it and picked it up, and hurried away.

In this way, every once in a while, Burdenko would give White a few pieces of information at the time of connection, and White would give Burdenko a sum of money depending on the quality of the information, and Burdenko, as he did the first time, never checked the money in the envelope, but just put it in his pocket and left. But the good times did not last long, and it didn't take long for White to lose his initial passion, mainly because the above was increasingly dissatisfied with the quality of the information transmitted by Burdenko, and originally hoped that Burdenko could provide more and better information, but in addition to the few pieces of information that Burdenko provided at the beginning, most of the information provided later was basically a big road goods, and there was little value at all.

White decided to have a good talk with Burdenko, so he went to the Gorky Library at Moscow University at the agreed time, which was a common meeting place for him and Burdenko.

"Headquarters is not satisfied with the information you have provided recently." White asked Burtenko straight to the point.

"It's to be expected."

"Then why don't you provide more valuable intelligence."

"I told you at the beginning, this is a cooperation, you can't ask too much of me."

"We don't have a lot of requirements, we just need you to provide valuable information."

"I'll do my best, but I've not been in a good place lately." A hint of unease flashed in Burtenko's eyes.

It was the first time White had seen Burdenko like this, but Burdenko's uneasy eyes only existed for a moment before disappearing, "What, what trouble are you in?" White asked with concern.

Buldenko hesitated for a moment, then said: "I messed up a job, so I'm temporarily suspended." ”

"Suspension?" White seems to have found the reason for the decline in the quality of the intelligence provided by Burdenko, and his suspension meant that he had little access to valuable information for the time being, and it also meant that Burdenko was of no value to them, and White could not help but be a little disappointed.

Although White did not put his disappointment on his face, Bultenko still saw through White's heart, and he sighed softly and said: "However, this is only temporary, and several of my friends are now being used, and it will not be long before they can get more and more valuable information." ”

"Your friend? Can I meet them? White clearly took a keen interest in Burdenko's friends.

"Yes, no problem. I'm going to arrange it, though. ”

"Alright, I'll wait for your news." White didn't expect Burtenko to agree so simply, and he couldn't help but feel a burst of ecstasy in his heart.

A week passed, and Bourdenko had not contacted White, and another week later, on weekend nights, White wanted to go to the school dance, but just as he was about to leave, he received a call from Burdenko, who informed him in the code words agreed upon by the two that he could meet with his friends tonight.

So White drove to the Pushkin monument on Tver Street according to the place designated by Burtenko, Burdenko sat in the driver's seat, White sat in the co-pilot's seat, and Burdenko drove out of the city quickly.

"Where are we going?" White asked.

"You'll know when you get there." Bultenko was tight-lipped.

"Is that place safe?" White couldn't help but worry in his heart.

"It's very safe." Burtenko always cherished words like gold.

White didn't ask anything anymore, he judged that the car was driving to the northern suburbs of Moscow, it was already dark, and further north, White didn't know him, the winding road seemed to have no end, White looked out the window, it was pitch black, except for the dim street lights, there were no lights.

The car drove for more than an hour, and while White was drowsy, Burtenko finally pulled over in an abandoned factory. White found that this place was far away from the road, and even the light of the street lamps was gone, White's heart couldn't help but hang, although he had not known Burdenko for a long time, but he had already appreciated Burdenko's power, if Buldenko wanted to have any intentions for himself today, then he would definitely die!

White followed Burtenko in the dark factory area, over a low wall, they entered a courtyard, the yard seemed to be an abandoned factory, Burdenko pushed open the creaking factory door, walked to the dark factory, and then slapped four times, after a terrible silence, several strong flashlights were aimed at White next to Burtenko, White was so startled that he stepped back, and was hitting a section of discarded steel pipe, the sound of the steel pipe echoed in the old factory for a long time.

A table lamp lit up in a corner of the factory, and the frightened White saw clearly that in addition to him and Burdenko, there were three other people in the factory gathered under the lamp, one was tall, one was sharp, and the other was old, Buldenko laughed twice and introduced to White: "This is my friend, this is Major Isakov, full of stunts and bravery." ”

"Vasily Alekseevich Isakov." The tall man shook White's hand, and White knew that he was incredibly powerful.

"This is Captain Stynov, he is good at marksmanship, you can also call him Stykin."

"Nikolai Dmittievich Stynov." Stephkin also shook hands with White.

"This is Lieutenant Colonel Brainin, and he's a rising star in the KGB, and he has the trust of his superiors."

White reached out to shake Brenin's hand, but Brenin sat in his chair and didn't move, so White had to withdraw his hand in embarrassment.

"Are you a group?" White asked.

"Yes, we're a group, coming together for a common goal."

"A common goal?" White didn't understand what Burdenko meant.

Burdenko did not explain, and continued: "Of course, we are not the only four of us in the group, there are many members, and the four of us are core members. ”

"Oh, nice to meet you. I hope you all have a happy cooperation in the future. ”

In this way, White got to know and developed more members, but what made him a little depressed was that although these positions were not low, especially that Brynin, he could get a lot of valuable information, but most of the information that Burdenko handed him was still worthless, and only occasionally there were one or two pieces of information that were still important.

6

White and Burtenko have always met at a pre-agreed time and place, rarely meeting at other times, except in exceptional circumstances, such as the last time they met with several other panelists. But on this day, Burdenko hastily asked to meet with White, and the meeting place was made at the Gorky Library of Moscow University.

White came to the library according to the temporarily appointed time, the appointed time has passed, but he has not seen Burtenko, White knows that Burdenko is a very punctual person, and he will not be late without special circumstances!

White wandered agitately around the corridors of the library, he felt fear, he was afraid that if Burdenko was exposed, he would be in danger, he looked at everyone who passed by, and when he reached the end of this corridor, suddenly a strong hand pulled him, and he looked back and saw that it was Burdenko, "Why are you late?" White said angrily.

"Something is delayed!"

"What else could be important?"

"Summoned by the Chairman of the KGB."

"What? Andropov summoned you? ”

Burtenko nodded.

"Are you going to be promoted, or are you going to be unlucky?"

"I don't know. All I can tell you is that I'm going to Mongolia. ”

"To Mongolia?" White was taken aback.

"Yes, there for a special mission."

"What task? Are you responsible? ”

"No, I'm guilty of meritorious service, I'm a deputy, the person in charge is Major Makarov, someone will tell you the details after I leave, I don't have much time now, I will leave tomorrow."

As soon as Burdenko's words fell, a young officer in his thirties came from the other side of the corridor, and when Burdenko saw this, he lowered his voice and admonished: "That person is Major Makarov, you should leave quickly!" Remember, the agreement between us. ”

"Agreed?" White was stunned, but he quickly understood what Burtenko meant.

Makarov had already seen them, and just as Burdenko and Makarov were greeting, White hurriedly passed by Makarov with his head down.

……

"So you're the young student?!" Makarov listened to White's account and was shocked.

"Yes, that's the only thing we have. I didn't expect to see you here today. ”

What shocked Makarov even more was that Buldenko had betrayed his homeland a long time ago and served the Americans, which Makarov did not expect in any case, "Yuri, it turned out to be ...... It turned out to be ...... a long time ago And Brenin, Stephkin, Isakov...... Not only have they known each other for a long time, but they are all in the same group. Makarov muttered in shock.

"Yes, but ......," White said halfway through.

"But what?" Makarov grabbed White in the chest.

"But they never gave us much valuable information."

"I'm afraid that Stephkin and Isakov won't have access to any valuable information, Bultenko, I can't say it, and Brynin didn't give you any valuable information?"

"Brynin, he didn't seem to be willing to work with us all along."

"But the spy ship incident helped you."

Huai Ling nodded, "That's all for later." ”

"Okay, then we'll move on to the rest of the story." Makarov tried to calm himself down, he let go of White and asked: "So, how did you get in touch with Buldenko later?" ”

"Hardly!"

"No contact?"

"Yes, you have been with him every day in the past few years, have you seen any abnormal contact between him and the outside world?"

"No, I haven't, but I don't believe you'll ever be in touch again."

"In fact, I didn't see Buldenko again in the next few years, and after he left Moscow, I was ordered to return home."

"Did you abandon their group?"

White hesitated for a moment before saying, "Of course not, but we changed our strategy and no longer expected them to provide us with valuable information in the short term, but instead 'buried nails'. ”

Makarov understood what "buried nails" meant, "that is, in general, you do not contact, but start them at a critical moment?" ”

"I didn't contact them for more than two years, until one day I suddenly received an international package from Irkutsk......" White's mind returned to that sunny morning.

7

……

Such a good morning, should go for a run, or play tennis, White, who had just worked an overtime night, thought so and drove the car into his garage, got out of the car, and just wanted to enter the house, suddenly, he turned around and walked towards the mailbox in front of his house, he seemed to have a gut feeling that there would be something waiting for him. Sure enough, he opened the mailbox, and there was a package and a letter lying quietly inside, and White only glanced at the package, and the good mood just now was gone.

The package was written in both Russian and English, addressed to himself, and sender by a man named "Vladimir Sergenovich Simonov", a typical Russian name and a name that White was all too familiar with, a pseudonym that Buldenko had agreed to use to contact him.

The letter had been sent from Moscow the day before, from a man named "Lyudmila Filippovna Maslova", and at first glance it was the name of a Russian woman, and the font on the envelope was very beautiful, but White knew that it was a pseudonym that he had agreed with Brynin.

After two years of not contacting them, White also felt strange, after a hurried farewell to Buldenko in Moscow, he once met Breynin and Stephkin, Breynin always held that arrogant head, which made White feel very uncomfortable, and finally Breynin had a pact with him, Buldenko would contact him at the right time, and did not need White to take the initiative to contact them, this agreement had disappointed White, which meant that he was likely to lose this only gain.

White always had a strange feeling in contact with Burdenko, he didn't know where this feeling came from, he always felt that he was always in a passive state in front of Burtenko, everything seemed to be in the hands of Burdenko, which made White feel very depressed, and also made the above very dissatisfied with his work, it was supposed that Burdenko and they wanted to throw themselves into our arms, but the truth was ...... White has thought about this question countless times, but he doesn't know what the problem is.

At this moment, in the face of this strange package, White was a little excited, and a little dazed, and Burtenko finally took the initiative to contact him? What was he going to tell himself? White quickly unwrapped the package, and there was only one book inside, which was a Russian book, a detective novel written by a little-known Soviet novelist, and when White got the book, he trembled violently, which was a code that Buldenko had agreed with himself a few years ago!

White hurriedly tore open the letter again, there was only a piece of paper in it, there was no word on the paper, but a string of numbers, White understood that it was a series of ciphers, and he began to compare the contents of the book, cracking this string of codes, the seventh word in the third line of the first page, the fourth word in the sixth line of the thirteenth page, the first word in the sixteenth line of the twenty-second page, the fifth word in the tenth line of the forty-fifth page, the eleventh word in the second line of the sixty-seventh page, and the seventh word in the third line of the ninety-second page...... Connecting these words together, White slowly read this sentence - go to Vietnam on the 21st of this month, someone will contact you, there is important information, don't forget!

"Vietnam? Important! Twenty-one days! White muttered to himself, he didn't understand what Burdenko meant, it seemed that this time he was going to be led by the nose by Burdenko again.

White was puzzled, but he still boarded a military plane to Vietnam and came to this war-torn country. As soon as White walked out of the U.S. military base on the outskirts of Saigon, an intelligence officer from the U.S. Embassy sent him a letter from Cambodia, which was unsigned and said only that the U.S. Embassy in Saigon had received it from Warren White.

Without opening the letter, White knew that it must have been sent by Bultenko, and no one but them would know that he would be here on the 21st. Sure enough, there was only a piece of letter paper inside the envelope, and there was no text on the letterhead, only a long string of numbers and letters, what did this mean? White stared at the string of numbers and letters for a while, and realized that this is a coordinate, this coordinate represents a place, White hurriedly took out a large-scale military map and searched for it, but when he found the area represented by this coordinate, he found that this was an inaccessible tropical rainforest!

White's head was dizzy, and he understood what Burtenko meant, this was to let him go to this place to connect with the visitor. He slapped the table hatefully, he really wanted to make a direct international call and ask Bultenko, or Brenin, Stepkin, what was this playing? Why let yourself go to that hellish place that is hard to find on the map! However, White calmed down and knew that none of this was possible.

8

White had to pack his bags in a hurry, and left Saigon early the next morning, under the protection of a group of American troops, to a small town thirty kilometers away from that coordinate, and the commander warned him, saying: "The front is very close to the border, we can only send you here, take care!" When you're done, get back to the town and contact us again, and we'll pick you up. ”

White reluctantly put on his bag and stepped out of the armored car, he didn't know where he was going, and he didn't know what nobles he was going to meet, in short, everything was unknown, White plunged into the vast rainforest, and walked through the rainforest for a day and a night, and finally came to that area.

White stared nervously around, the dense rainforest was endless, and here near the border, North Vietnamese soldiers, South Vietnamese guerrillas, and wild beasts might be hiding not far away! White waited for a while, and he noticed some slight noises coming from the dense forest ahead, and White was keenly aware that someone was coming!

He quietly hid himself behind a huge tree until the man burrowed out of the dense rainforest, "Stepkin? White had recognized the person and flashed out from behind the tree.

"Looks like you're on time." Stephkin came out of nowhere.

"On time? You're also very punctual! But there is no time on your letter? White asked, puzzled.

"There is no agreed time, but we have calculated the time, and your appearance at this time means that you are very punctual!" Stephkin smiled.

"What if I don't show up in time?"

"Then I'll wait for you here for three days." Stephkin said it lightly.

"Here? Wait for me for three days! It's a rainforest! White was taken aback.

"Hehe, that's nothing to me!" Skichkin Road.

White looked at Stephkin carefully, there was no backpack, it didn't look like he had any equipment or food, only a submachine pistol on his waist and an assault rifle he was carrying, White looked at the assault rifle behind Stephkin and looked familiar, it was an American-made M16 assault rifle, White couldn't help but wonder: "How did you have the opportunity to come to Vietnam?" ”

"On a secret mission."

"What task?"

Stephkin hesitated, "This task has nothing to do with us, and it is not within the scope of our cooperation!" ”

White was very dissatisfied with Stepkin's answer, but he was helpless, "Then what are you calling me from the United States for?" ”

Stephkin thought for a moment and said slowly: "We have a very important big plan, I hope you can cooperate, if you agree to cooperate, we will really cooperate with you in an all-round way, not in the previous way of cooperation." ”

"Oh?" White was clearly interested in what Stephkin said about the big plan, "What kind of big plan?" ”

"It's not convenient to talk here, I don't have much time, all the content about the plan is in this, you go back and study it carefully, there is also a way for us to contact in the future, and there is a generous gift to show our sincerity." As he spoke, Stephkin handed White a small brown paper bag.

White opened the brown paper bag and looked inside, revealing a box of audio tapes and a roll of film. White closed the bag again and said, "Okay, is that all?" ”

"How much more do you want, just bringing this out makes me think hard!" Skichkin Road.

After the two finished speaking, they were about to break up, but White suddenly turned around and asked, "Is Bultenko okay now?" ”

"It's not good, but he doesn't care."

"I see that the package he sent me was sent from Irkutsk, and he is still in Mongolia?"

Stephkin nodded, "Yes, he's still there." ”

White was about to say something, but Stephkin waved his hand impatiently, and plunged headlong into the dense rainforest, disappearing into the vast rain and mist.
