"Is that so......?"

Hearing Malenkov's analysis, Long Yun hesitantly raised his head and looked at the general secretary, he had to admit that this speculation was somewhat reasonable, and the hidden facts behind it would probably be even more disturbing.

Yes, how could he not have thought of such a situation before?

At nightfall, sitting in the underground office of the Supreme Soviet Office Building and listening to Malenkov's speech, this experience gave Long Yun a very strange atmosphere: the attitude of the general secretary in front of him can be said to be very cordial, and the communication between the two is not like the one received by the leader, but more like an old friend who has nothing to say.

This comfortable feeling of relaxation must be due to Lyudmila, who connects the identities of the two, but in addition, Malenkov, who is in his fifties, obviously admires Viktor Rezenov, and he thinks that this young man is calm by nature and does not speak any rhetoric, which is naturally quite temperamental for Konstantin, who comes from the KGB system and talks and does things practically.

It was precisely because of such an atmosphere that he had just learned about the father-daughter relationship between Malenkov and Lyudmila, and Long Yun was still able to concentrate on listening and thinking while being surprised, and he quickly understood what the general secretary's speculation meant.

It would have been not difficult to guess about the investigative experience of the "dead city", as well as the motives for the actions of the mysterious American pilots.

However, as the so-called "authorities are obsessed", Long Yun, who is bent on uncovering the mysteries of the parallel world, will unconsciously focus on exploring the puzzle no matter what he does or thinks. For example: He was amazed when he learned of the existence of the "Dead City". Later, when he went deep into the abandoned base to investigate, and encountered a mysterious person. Although I have also thought about the real reason why the Americans used the SR-71 to reconnoiter and went to this area after falling; But perhaps influenced by the mindset, he always believed that this person's behavior must be related to the "energy medium", superpowers, or the hidden truth of the "dead city", and then no matter how he thought about it, he couldn't come to a conclusion, and then he was busy fighting on the front line, so he had to put this incident on hold for the time being.

But now, coming into contact with some of Malenkov's overall ideas, Long Yun was suddenly inspired. He felt that the general secretary's idea was not necessarily unreasonable.

In other words, Americans' focus on the "dead city" may not be motivated by what he previously thought.

Recalling his experience in a parallel world, starting from the plane crash in France, Long Yun knew that Americans were indeed very concerned about "energy media"; Then, the mysterious pilot who flew the "Blackbird" in Central Asia was also a guy with superpowers -- but these signs alone did not prove that the Americans had a glimpse of the true secrets of the "Rome" base; In other words, it is even possible that the situation is the opposite, maybe they just obtained a piece of top-secret information that "there is a forbidden area for humans in Central Asia, and mysterious forces kill people invisibly". Out of interest or concern for this information, personnel were dispatched to investigate.

If so. Long Yun couldn't help but think of the Cold War history in the real world, in order to fight against an unprecedentedly powerful enemy, the two superpowers of the East and the West have tested many whimsical and unbelievable weapon systems, from infrasonic weapons to tsunami weapons and so on; Obviously, as long as the opponent can be overwhelmed in war, no matter how terrifying, the force can be tried to be used as a sharp knife to slaughter the enemy, and as for other things, it can be put aside for the time being.

If considered in conjunction with this, then the actions of the Americans can have a very reasonable motive:

Either they are worried that the Soviet Union is secretly testing some terrible weapons in Central Asia, or they are driven by the idea of controlling absolute power, so that they will inexplicably yearn for the terrorist power that envelops the "dead city".

Thinking all the way in the direction proposed by the general secretary, Long Yun understood Malenkov's speculation and understood why he was worried about the situation, so he muttered and quickly recalled, trying to find clues that matched this speculation, but for a while he didn't think of anything, he still couldn't determine whether the mysterious pilot's actions were due to such a motive proposed by the general secretary.

After pondering for a moment, sensing a hint of inquiry in Malenkov's eyes, Long Yun replied slowly; The sentence that came out slowly actually hit the nail on the head:

"So, Comrade General Secretary...... Do we have a R&D plan to use ...... 'that power' as a weapon? ”

As soon as the words came out, Long Yun suddenly felt a chill down his spine, he couldn't imagine the strange power that enveloped the "dead city", such a terrifying existence that made people die in an instant, what would happen if it was turned into a weapon; And at the same time, he also felt that he had really asked a question that should not be asked, the KGB's secrecy principle was not a joke, and even if the answer really existed, I am afraid that he would not be able to access it.

Nervously waiting for an answer on the sofa, the calm voice ringing in his ears made Long Yun unconsciously breathe a sigh of relief:

"'As a weapon'? As far as I know, there is no such plan.

As the executor of the previous secret investigation, Victor, I think you should know that the 'General Directorate of Rome' under the Commission has no way to unravel the mystery of the tragedy of the 'Rome' base for a long time, so even if we really want to weaponize it, we have no clue at all. ”

"Oh......"

Hearing Malenkov's answer, and at the same time feeling the exact same thought activity, Long Yun only felt a burst of relief.

Come to think of it, for the strange power that envelops the "dead city" area, even if you don't see it with your own eyes, it will make the listener turn pale, and even don't even want to mention it, such a life-devouring and merciless thing, if it is really used to wage war, its terrible Cheng Dù is afraid that it will become a bloodthirsty maniac released from Pandora's box on top of the strongest force in existence, nuclear weapons.

Aware of such a terrifying prospect with a very small probability but no chance of saying that it is absolutely non-existent, Long Yun had a complete insight into the thoughts of Comrade General Secretary.

As the supreme leader of the Red Empire, Malenkov's calculations naturally proceeded from the overall situation, and he himself did not approve of and knew that the Soviet Union did not have such a crazy weapons program at present, but he could not conclude whether the Americans thought the same way - yes, in the face of the terrible existence that consumes human life in an instant, those who have witnessed it will often instinctively have a kind of disgust, while the hearsay is probably quite interested in getting a glimpse of the mystery of the new weapon; This is not the first time in the history of human weapons development that this kind of thing has occurred, and isn't this how many innocent but notorious chemical weapons have come to the world step by step?

While the young man was thinking intently, Malenkov, who was pacing around the office, also made some decisions, he slowly came to the sofa opposite the table and sat down, looked up at Viktor Rezenov with a focused expression, and hesitated for a few seconds before speaking.

Is it really okay for such a promising young man, Liuda's sweetheart, to let him continue to carry out dangerous and uncertain missions......

"Victor, I've thought a little bit about the motives of the Americans."

"Comrade General Secretary, do you mean...... Could their interest in 'Rome' also come from a crazy idea of 'weaponization'? ”

"Yes, my guess, that's pretty much it.

So Victor, since you think you can trust, we might as well talk about it frankly,"

Once again, Malenkov's words became fluent, "As far as I know, the information obtained by the Commission shows that the work on the 'Rome' base, that is, the research results on superpowers, has been preserved in the Zài base, which may be considered a unique collection of 'Rome'.

However, I always felt that the Americans would not necessarily know about this top-secret project of the Soviet Union, and even if they did, it would be mostly only a fraction of it.

Now, therefore, for the sake of national strategic considerations, we cannot but be wary of the unusual trend of the Americans paying attention to 'Rome': for whatever reason, they are frequently moving in this direction in such a long-abandoned and depopulated place, and it is not so much that the Americans are coveting the results of superpower research in it, but that they are acting with a more sinister purpose.

It is for this reason, Victor, that I will also maintain a more attentive attitude towards your next actions: such actions are not only important for the work of the 'General Directorate of Rome', but also for the prevention of risks at the strategic level of any country.

Do you get the idea, Victor? ”

"I ...... Perfectly understood, Comrade General Secretary. ”

Hearing Malenkov's words, he thought more about the hidden crisis of the "dead city", Long Yun agreed with the general secretary's idea, and he nodded to Malenkov's eyes.

Seeing that the young man in the general's uniform nodded in response, probably knowing that the battle hero understood his worries, the tall Malenkov smiled and nodded to Viktor, who looked a little solemn, and then stood up with a sigh of relief, and walked to the side of the huge Soviet map hanging on the wall of his office.

Looking up at the barren land of Central Asia, the general secretary's voice became more and more gentle, as if he were talking to himself:

"This land...... Well, it's really unusual.

Within the personnel of the 'General Directorate of Rome', there is another name for the 'Rome' base: 'Dead City'...... It sounds terrifying: after all, that area has not been seen for more than ten years. (To be continued......)
