Chapter 858: The Birch Forest at Night
Looking closely, the streets on both sides were already shadowed by trees, and the buildings were basically far away from the streets, hidden in the sparse bushes, Long Yun's first feeling was like entering a suburban road, he looked left and right in confusion, and then looked at the KGB agent beside him, who looked back at him with a serious face:
"Surprised, Victor?
You've been thinking about it just now, so I didn't bother. ”
As she spoke, the car began to slow down and turn onto another secluded path, passing by an apparently makeshift highway checkpoint, and Valentina's words continued, "We are now on our way to the villa area on the southern outskirts of Moscow, specifically to the 'birch forest retreat'. ”
"Birch Forest...... Wellness area? ”
was full of complicated thoughts, but was confused by the agent's words, Long Yun naturally wanted to ask, "What, not to my bachelor apartment, or...... Or Pavlyuchenko's house. ”
"Hee-hee, what do you say?"
Seeing the lieutenant general of the aviation next to him, but a little cautious when he spoke, Valentina only felt funny, and also felt that this young man with dazzling military achievements was really cute:
"Of course not, speaking of which, the living conditions in the sanatorium are much better, why, I still think so much about your Pavlyuchenko."
"Uh, this, this......"
"Oh, that's it! Our comrades, generals, no kidding. ”
After a shallow tease of Viktor Rezenov, whose face was hot, Valentina temporarily put away her playful look and briefly explained to Long Yun the arrangements for his trip to Moscow. There are also reasons why it is temporarily inconvenient for him to return home, or to a tryst at the house of Lyudmila Pavlyuchenko.
Just recently. Agents of the Fifth Directorate of the KGB received a lot of intelligence. The Western spies dormant in the Warsaw Pact countries have received the latest instructions, and now a large number of hostile elements are ready to infiltrate and track Viktor Rezenov's whereabouts through various means; The number one trump card of the Red Air Force, which piloted fighter planes to shoot down two E-3A/B "watchtower" early warning planes, has already kept the NATO top brass awake at night, and the direct action order has also become "completely at all costs to prevent the 'sickle' from taking off again." This kind of utterly insane assassination order is simply unprecedented, not even in wartime, not even against the top leaders of the Alliance.
Of course, compared with the core leadership of the Soviet Union, which has always been secluded and guarded, perhaps the Americans feel that the protection of an ace pilot is not so perverted, and if a large number of intelligence officers are mobilized to kill them at any cost, they may really be able to strangle this desperate terrorist threat to the ground.
In the face of such an urgent situation, the KGB, which is responsible for protecting the security of the number one ace, will naturally not remain indifferent, and many years of experience in the secret front have allowed them to make an extremely safe arrangement.
On the one hand. The State Security Council of the Soviet Union, located at 11 Rubyanka Street, has taken action by selecting two agents from among the elite personnel of the Fifth Main Directorate of the KGB who are identical in appearance, physique, and even demeanor to Viktor Rezenov. As a "bait stand-in" and "real stand-in" for this aviation lieutenant general.
The specific implementation of this principle of double backup is a bit complicated.
Two qualified KGB agents, the former, with the cooperation of the action team, disguised himself as Viktor Rezenov himself for public activities in Moscow, including attending the award ceremony and attending a series of ordinary schedules, that is, as a "bait double" deployed outside and covering people's eyes; Another agent, disguised as a lieutenant general of the aviation corps himself who deliberately concealed his identity, hid himself in a single apartment in the city of Moscow, a situation that only a very small number of people, including the head of the KGB and the general secretary of the Central Committee of the CPSU, was known to a very small number of people, and served as the second security shield for the "bait double" once it was discovered.
The simultaneous use of two stand-ins is an almost impossible barrier for Western intelligence systems.
In this case, in order to eliminate Viktor Rezenov and his people, it is naturally futile to directly assassinate the "bait double" who appeared in public, and it will pay a heavy price for the exposure of a large number of people.
And if it goes further, even if the Western agents have painstakingly investigated the so-called "truth" and learned that the openly appearing lieutenant general of the air force is only a stand-in, they will only get caught up in another, more difficult search and assassination process, and even if they are lucky enough to do this almost impossible task, they will still not pose any threat to Viktor Rezenov himself.
Double doubles, double cover, this kind of costly protection strategy, even the powerful KGB rarely employs, in the face of the crazy attack of Western lurkers, it can be said that this is already the highest screen specification for a single important target.
Viktor Rezenov, a super air killer who had shot down a total of 153 enemy planes by the time he left the Southern Theater of Operations, a "White Reaper" with three B-1B "Lancers" and a "Watchtower" AWACS aircraft (the other "Watchtower" that was downed was recorded as a wingman's victory), a terrifying person who could influence the situation of the war from the campaign and even the strategic level, it can be said that the importance of the Red Empire to him has been extremely high, or in the eyes of the Supreme Command and the members of the Political Bureau, He has become a mythical being like the god of war, and it is not surprising that he is protected by such a super-spec.
In this case, Viktor Rezenov, who had returned to Moscow in a low-key manner, naturally could no longer appear in a bachelor's apartment or a singer's apartment, and the arrangement for him was to go to the high-end villa area in the southern suburbs of Moscow and settle down in the famous "birch forest resort".
In doing so, we can not only temporarily avoid the limelight and make the Western spies try their best but get nothing, but also take the opportunity to restore the number one ace who has been fighting viciously on the front line -- after all, there is a rare opportunity now, and in this world war where there is still no end in sight, it is not always possible to calmly draw ace pilots from the front line, especially such an elite ace who terrifies the enemy.
Explaining these reasons in a fluttering manner, Valentina stopped talking, and her gray-black eyes looked at Long Yun, as if waiting for him to make a statement.
After listening to all these explanations, and knowing where he was going next and arranging, Long Yun saw that the car was driving on the suburban road with a wide field of vision, and in the hazy night, he only saw a series of light-colored villas scattered, and the surrounding environment seemed to be extraordinarily quiet.
As soon as he heard this name, Long Yun subconsciously searched in his memory, but could not find the corresponding information in the real world, but with his knowledge of the history of the Soviet Union, this should probably be a place for the centralized layout of vacation and sanatorium villas used by the leadership and senior cadres of the alliance.
Thinking of this situation, Long Yun tilted his head and looked out the car window, the villas in the night seemed to have become less elaborate and gorgeous, or rather, he didn't like this kind of drunken place very much, even if it was to temporarily shelter and hide his whereabouts.
After all, in the real world, the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, which has performed more than 70 years of magnificent history, once collapsed and fell apart, there are also these dark aspects that contribute to the trouble; At this moment, in a parallel world, Long Yun naturally didn't want to see such a tragedy happen again, although he didn't seem to be able to change anything alone, which inevitably made people feel a little depressed.
After thinking about it, the car had turned the corner, smoothly drove into an open courtyard, and stopped at the door of a villa that looked quite ordinary, Long Yun got out of the car and looked up and found the surveillance camera installed in the eaves, he walked to the main entrance of the villa, and scanned the surrounding consciousness activities before the car entered the courtyard, knowing that at least five or six people were moving around the villa at this time, obviously these people were KGB agents who were on guard outside.
Standing at the gate of the first floor of the elegant villa, waiting for Valentina to take out the key to open the door lock, Long Yun, who walked into the entrance, looked around curiously.
With keen vision and accurate observation, Long Yun immediately found that the furnishings in this villa were quite simple, and when he looked up, he didn't find any vulgar crystal chandeliers, which left a good first impression on him; But before he could take a closer look at the scenery in his sight, a familiar and beautiful figure appeared on the inside of the foyer, accompanied by a familiar and pleasant surprise voice:
"Victor! You're coming~"
"- Lyuda! It's great to see you. ”
Standing on the side of the brightly lit spacious foyer, her delicate face was full of joy, and the beautiful singer in a rose red dress suppressed her excitement, and approached with a very ladylike step, opening a pair of slender arms to hug her long-lost lover, "Are you okay, Victor?" I- oh, this is ......."
Lyudmila, who was walking towards Long Yun, only had her eagerly longing lover in her eyes at first, and she only saw Valentina with the door behind Long Yun; There was a natural look between the two women, and the young detective smiled and nodded at her, but the singer's face was surprised, and he looked at Long Yun with a confused expression, but as if he had thought of something:
"Well, this should be the one who has been protecting you......?" (To be continued......)
