Chapter 200: The Gulag
White Swan Iron and Steel Works.
After the Ka-60 helicopter landed in the steel plant, Pan Lina was taken to the interrogation room in the steel plant.
The White Swan Steel Plant covers an area comparable to a sprawling industrial park, with 7 floors of underground structure and a cumulative length of more than 30 kilometers.
These 7 underground structures are like anthills, not only interconnected, but also complex, if you rush into it, you will definitely get stuck in this huge underground labyrinth and lose your way.
In the seven-story underground structure, there are not only warehouses for storing daily necessities, arsenals for storing weapons and ammunition, but also a series of living facilities such as dormitories, toilets, and bathrooms.
This is also the reason why the Upanstein government army was able to withstand the attack of the Roman Rus federal army in this steel plant for four months.
The interrogation room is located on the third floor of the underground structure of the steel plant.
The entire interrogation room is not only buried 15 meters underground, but also made of all-steel structure.
After the Romanross Federal Army took control of the steel plant, a signal shield was added to the original all-steel structure.
The entire interrogation room is completely insulated from all electronic signals, including satellite signals.
Qin Shi and Oleg were in charge of Pan Lina's interrogation; Karpachev, on the other hand, was in the next room with the Operational Staff Committee, watching the interrogation through surveillance installed in the interrogation room.
Just watching the interrogation in the next room, in addition to Karpachev and his operational staff, there was an unexpected visitor.
President of the Romanross Federation - Ferkylar!
Ferkylar came to the White Swan Iron and Steel Plant temporarily after learning of the infiltration and arrest of Kikoonov's private estate, and Karpachev, as the commander-in-chief of the combat forces on the Eastern Front, did not know in advance.
Vokylar sat in front of the surveillance LCD screen, and behind him, stood a group of Roman Ross Union Army officers, among whom the lowest rank was a colonel.
In the face of this Mr. President, who was born in the Federal Security Service of Roman Rose, those generals did not even dare to breathe, let alone sit.
……
Interrogation room.
Qin Shi and Oleg sat behind a desk with a voice recorder on the table and a DV next to the table; Pan Lina sat on a chair in front of the table.
Unlike the interrogation footage seen in the film and television drama, Pan Lina has no handcuffs on her hands, no baffles on the chairs, and no 100-watt lights to shine on her face.
Pan Lina rested her left hand on the back of the chair and sat on the chair very casually.
Although this is an interrogation room, the relationship between Qin Shi and Pan Lina is more like a ...... Chat.
Yes.
Chat.
If it weren't for Karpachev's request, Qin Shi would have wanted to find a more comfortable place to have this "chat".
In such a room, it was really depressing.
"Hidden Dragon, let's talk about it first, what will you do with me after I finish what you want to know? It's good that I can be mentally prepared. Pan Lina asked Qin Shi.
"This is not my place, I don't have the right to decide."
Qin Shi replied, "But it is certain that you will not be sent to Siberia to grow potatoes." ”
"As long as I don't go to Siberia, I'm afraid of the cold."
Pan Lina withdrew her hand on the back of the chair, crossed Erlang's legs, and put the fingers of both hands on her right leg interlaced, and asked Qin Shi, "Do you know the 'Gulag'?" ”
"Gulag? The 'gulag' of the Commonwealth period? Qin Shi asked Pan Lina rhetorically.
"Yes, during the Consortium period, the Consortium government was responsible for managing the national labor camps." Penlina replied.
"A little bit of understanding."
Qin Shi nodded and replied, "Gulag, romanized 'GULag', is a branch department of the former Commonwealth State Political Security Bureau and NKVD Department, performing duties such as labor reform and detention.
Although the Gulag was originally an acronym for the Commonwealth Government, an operational branch that exercised government functions, it encompassed all of the Commonwealth Government's penal institutions.
There are a variety of locations including special labor camps, correctional camps, prisons for convicts and political prisoners, and ghettos in penal colonies.
Writers and politicians in many Western countries have also used the 'gulag' as a common term that highly encapsulates all the prisoner of war camps and labor camps in the history of the Commonwealth.
In addition, the 'gulag' has also been used in areas unrelated to the Commonwealth concentration camp system, such as a self-isolated, hereditary state in Asia, which is also caricatured by some in the West as a 'gulag'. ”
"Pap, pap, papa, papa, pap......"
Pan Lina applauded Qin Shi and said, "The Hidden Dragon is worthy of being the Hidden Dragon, erudite and talented. ”
Qin Shi interrupted Pan Lina's compliment to himself and asked, "You mention 'Gulag' because Igor, no, is the base camp of 'Skull Rose' in some concentration camp left by the former Syndicate?" ”
"It's a terrible thing to be against someone as smart as you."
Pan Lina admitted Qin Shi's guess, looked at the silver flat wine jug on the table, and asked, "Is there any wine?" ”
Qin Shi picked up the flat wine jug and raised his hand to throw it to Pan Lina.
Pan Lina took the flask, unscrewed the lid, raised her head and took a sip, and said, "When the Mad King contacted me, the first place I was asked to go was Bolaner.
When I arrived in Bolana, I was again hooded and taken by helicopter to an isolated island in the Bering Strait. ”
"An island in the Bering Strait?"
"That's right."
Pan Lina took another sip of wine and replied, "Of course, at first it was only my guess based on the extremely low temperatures on the island, the snow-covered landscape, and the helicopter taking off from Bolana to landing on the island.
But when I returned to Upanstan, I looked up a lot of information based on the castle-like building I saw on the island, and finally confirmed my suspicions.
During the Middle Ages, a monarch in the history of the Roman Rus' Confederation was preparing to go on an expedition to the American continent, so he spent a lot of manpower and material resources on an island in the Bering Strait to build a castle as the front headquarters of his expedition.
But before the castle could be built, the monarch fell ill and the expedition to the American continent came to naught.
Due to the fact that the castle was deep in the Bering Strait, several other monarchs in the history of the Roman Rus' Confederation had no idea of taking over until the union was formed.
After the formation of the Consortium, the Consortium government converted the island's incomplete castle into a concentration camp and placed it under the management of the 'Gulag'.
Since the camp was used for political felons, very few people knew about it within the 'gulag'.
After the dissolution of the Commonwealth, a large amount of information about the 'Gulag' was lost, and the concentration camp became a completely forgotten existence. If it weren't for the notes my dad left behind, I wouldn't have known any of these things. ”
"So Igor set up the base camp of the 'Skull Rose' in that concentration camp that was completely forgotten?" Qin Shi asked.
