This sentence completely surprised me, was Ivan returning to Moscow for this reason? The KGB, abbreviated kГБ, is the State Security Committee of the USSR. It was the intelligence agency of the Soviet Union from March 13, 1954 to November 6, 1991, and was known for its strength and sophistication.

It was a super-mysterious agency that was comparable to the CIA at the time. What was their purpose in looking for Ivan?

The KGB has always been the main department responsible for the Soviet Union's foreign intelligence work, counterintelligence work, internal security work, and border defense, and is a "super organ" above the party, government, and military departments, and it is only responsible to the Politburo of the CPSU Central Committee. The KGB was described by the British intelligence agency as "the world's largest spy agency ever collecting secret intelligence." Together with the CIA of the United States, the Mossad of Israel, and the MI6 of the United Kingdom, it is known as the world's four major espionage organizations.

This kind of knowledge was also told to us by the old man at the beginning, that in those days the KGB was absolutely synonymous with mystery and danger, and on the surface they were doing simple intelligence work, but in fact there was an undercurrent underneath and everything would be involved. In their eyes, there is nothing shocking, because what they do in private is the most shocking.

"The Foreign Espionage Bureau, the Domestic Counter-Espionage Bureau, the Military Administration, the Border Guards Administration, the General Affairs Bureau, the KGB Foreign Station Group, etc. As a result of these chaotic systems, the number of KGB system personnel once reached more than 500,000, including 10,000 in headquarters organs, 200,000 in espionage, counterespionage, and technical support departments, and 300,000 in border guards. In addition, there are 1.5 million informants in the country and 250,000 spy personnel abroad, with an annual budget of $10 billion. "The old man boasted to us at the time.

"Don't be scared, even in your China, our KGB has planted a number of spies that you can never imagine, and don't think that they are all Soviets, the KGB is not stupid. Most of those spies were native-born Chinese, and even their own parents could not tell that they were spies. I still remember that sentence to this day.

In those years, China has been shouting to catch spies, catch spies, but judging from the calm appearance of this old man, we know that eighty percent of the people who are really spies have not even been touched. I once asked the old man alone why he told us these things, shouldn't these things be classified?

Secret? Young people, after you have really spent most of your life in that hellish place, after you have lived every day in writing so-called secrets and lies, you will know that socialism, capitalism, they do the same thing!

The so-called national security and the so-called pacifism are very one-sided things. The state will only protect what they want to protect, what needs to be protected, and there is no difference between absolute righteousness and goodness and bullshit between countries. I've dedicated my whole life to this bullshit, old man, what's wrong with whining here?

After listening to the old man's long grumble, I fell into deep contemplation. Perhaps, as he said, the things he experienced when he was young, the things that the Kuomintang did, the abandoned people in Nanjing, and the strange boxes that would rather sacrifice them than be shipped out, these things have absolutely nothing to do with goodness and righteousness, and even go against it. But the state still watches them happen, and even dominates them.

I didn't think about all these things in my head, but when I heard Chen Zaihai say that Ivan had something to do with the KGB, I told everything I had experienced. And even if I don't say it, Chen Zaihai will ask.

After listening to me, Chen Zaihai's whole person looked very strange, usually at this time, he would definitely say something witty to make fun of me, but this time he didn't. It was clear that he was struggling with something

"So Lao Su, I've always been hesitant to tell you this. That's right, Ivan is a soldier to whom the KGB belongs, and he has always been mysterious when he was summoned back by the headquarters. When Talia and I went to college, Ivan would suddenly disappear for a month or two without moving, as if he were dead. Chen Zaihai said very seriously. When I first saw that the person who came was Ivan, I knew that this matter had absolutely nothing to do with the KGB. ”

"Then why didn't you tell me anything?" I asked.

He said that at the time he didn't think I had much to do with it, and he didn't want me to be involved, which was too dangerous. But it was only now that he found out that I had been in contact with the KGB for a long time.

"Don't give a to that instructor of yours! Think about it, would the KGB just let that kind of classified information be leaked out! Chen Zaihai said. This is definitely a big deal, and even if that old man really just wants to tell you this, then his former colleagues will definitely kill you all! ”

He told me that you must remember that as long as you enter the KGB, you should never try to get rid of it for the rest of your life, and even if you live peacefully to retirement age, you will spend the rest of your life under surveillance, and that old man is no exception. I found that Chen Zaihai was very nervous when he said this, and he kept going around in circles, as if he was going to drill a hole in the floor.

The shelves that are too high to speak, the aisles that can't see the end, and the boxes that don't know what to hold, these things seem to be far away from Chen Zaihai. He was excited, and that excitement was different from ordinary excitement, as if something you had always believed in had completely collapsed in an instant.

It looks like excitement, but in reality the fear component accounts for the majority. The way he looks really overwhelms me, I've never seen him look like he's always been so aggressive and not afraid. Gradually, his anxiety and nervousness were contagious to me. Cold sweat flowed uncontrollably, and so many things suddenly had another explanation, and I even forgot to ask him why he knew so much about the inside of the KGB.

The engineer didn't say a word the whole time, he just looked back and forth at the two of us very helplessly. Come to think of it, this kid doesn't even understand what the KGB is. Only then do I envy the ignorant people very much, and sometimes the most ignorant people are the happiest people.

"Anyway, Lao Su, I think you, no, we have all misunderstood one thing all along" Chen Zaihai opened his mouth again, and this time his voice trembled a little.

"What, what?" I think I'm vaguely aware.

"It's just that we're doing things for our own country," and sure enough, his thoughts coincided with mine.

At this time, I really felt like my whole person had fallen into a bottomless pit, lost, helpless, dazed, all kinds of emotions filled my heart in an instant. I sat limply on the floor of the warehouse, as a puff of dust kicked up on the floor and my field of vision narrowed. But I didn't have the slightest idea of dusting it off

That's right, why didn't I realize it all this time? Why, why, are we, the Met Office personnel, so well taken care of? Why are the instructors who trained us retired agents of the KGB? Why, even after work, do we still see a lot of satellite images of the Soviet Union?

Isn't that weird in general? Space exploration is such a thing that the Soviet Union has been competing with the United States, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is an absolute secret of the state, why can we simply see the cloud images transmitted by their satellites for so long?

"Have we been controlled by the KGB all along?" I uttered this idea with some desperation.

Chen Zaihai analyzed and said: It can be seen from your instructors back then that our Meteorological Bureau and the KGB have a very close relationship. If you think about the equipment you use, you have received the best education in the country. That instructor may not be as kind as you think, and it's doubtful that he's actually retired. Saying so many things and you haven't been silenced, it means that the KGB people don't care if you know these secrets. Perhaps in their eyes, this is just a basic knowledge of the organization for their own people.

I think it was just a meteorological bureau, and this kind of department, which did not directly contribute to the construction of the country at that time, should not be taken so seriously. Without decades of infrastructure, we wouldn't be able to do anything. Also, I always feel that this mission is the time for us to do something

I immediately told him to stop talking, and if I continued to talk about it, there were more and more things involved, and I didn't know what to believe or what not to believe. Is this kind of thing possible? Did the KGB really have such a great ability? Let a group of people who have always thought they are contributing to their country be unknowingly controlled by other countries?

In fact, we did not know at that time that there had always been a kind of thing called "zombie spy" in the KGB. By the time we realized it, it was almost unbelievable.

Mr. Chen said he knew so much because something had happened to him and Talia in Moscow. He can't explain it to me right now, but he will do so in time. Anyway, the reason for the incident was just that the two of them were curious about what they were going to do every time Ivan disappeared mysteriously.

I said that even if you want to tell me now, I don't want to hear it, because the blow is too great. My mind couldn't accept anything in a short period of time.

Anyway, now that we've found such a place, let's get some rest. If you have any things or ideas, you will discuss them when you have had enough rest.
