War Photographer's Notebook

Chapter 148 Everyone Takes What They Need
"What is this?" Nicholas asked while taking the portfolio, opened it and took out two photos.

"found by accident"

Wei Ran stretched his body and explained while stretching, "According to my guess, the first photo should be taken during the Battle of Berlin when Admiral Weidling, the commander of the Berlin city defense, surrendered. As for the other photo, I believe I don't need it." introduce."

"The red flag on the Capitol?" Nicholas' question was filled with unquestionable affirmation.

Wei Ran smiled, sat up straight and said, "To be more precise, perhaps it should be called the first Soviet red flag planted on the Capitol."

Nicholas stood up and walked to the writing desk by the window to sit down. After turning on the desk lamp, he took out his reading glasses and put them on again. He asked while carefully looking at the two photos. "Where did you find it?"

"I found it while investigating a veteran who had entered Berlin some time ago." Wei Ran chased after him and looked at Nicholas with burning eyes, "Do you think it is the red flag in history that has not been photographed?"

"Looking at the scene in the photo, it should have been taken at that time."

Nikolai pointed to the faintly visible 88mm gun and the wreckage of the King Tiger tank in the photo and said, "This 88mm gun is nothing, but this No. 304 King Tiger tank cannot be faked. But compared to the The content of this photo is obviously developed recently.”

"What I found was the negative, and I developed the photo myself." Wei Ran said frankly.

"Professor Alexis seems to be more suitable than me to analyze the time when this photo was taken." Nicholas put the two photos back into the file bag and returned them to Wei Ran, "So you shouldn't come to me to distinguish the photos True or false?"

Wei Ran nodded, sat across the desk and said, "Professor Alexis is indeed better than you at distinguishing the authenticity of these two photos, but he may not necessarily know better than you how to deal with these two photos."

Nicholas smiled, opened the tulle curtain next to the writing desk, pointed to the statue of the motherland outside the window and said, "If you are not short of money, it is the wisest decision to send it there. If you are short of money, you can find A person who is not short of money, he will definitely be willing to buy it and send it there."

“Money is not too short”

Wei Ran paused, then turned his gaze to the huge statue outside the window, and calmly asked a realistic question, "But what can I get when I send it there?"

Nicholas smiled after a moment of silence, and said calmly, "If you have made a decision, leave the rest to me."

"Then I will trouble you." Wei Ran also showed a smile on his face, and then took out the USB flash drive prepared in advance from his pocket and put it on the table, "This is the electronic version of the film."

Nicholas took a look at the USB flash drive, then threw it into the drawer carelessly, "You are smarter than I thought."

"It's just that we each get what we need from the heroes on Mamayev's post."

Wei Ran said frankly that he didn't know how precious that photo was, but just like what Nikola worried about when he gave him a buggy, at present, a sufficiently glamorous public identity is what he needs most.

Nicholas changed the topic noncommittally, "Tell me about your life at Hongqi Forest Farm, what have you learned?"

"A lot, but not much." Wei Ran gave a brief description of his recent learning experience with quite a headache, and also mentioned Karp's strange request for him to learn an instrument.

To his surprise, Nicholas frowned immediately after listening to it, but before he opened his mouth, he stretched his brows again, and said with a smile, "It is really necessary to learn some musical instruments. Every KGB In addition to the bloody and violent side, agents must cultivate a strong artistic atmosphere to cover up the bloody smell on the other side.

Although you are not an agent, the necessary disguise is still very important, otherwise you probably would not have sent these two photos.So Victor, don't take Karp's request seriously, you'd better be serious, maybe I will listen to your performance then. "

"I'll try my best."

Wei Ran replied with a bitter face, he is a music idiot who can't sing the national anthem out of tune, originally in order to meet Karp's request, he even bought a wooden fish used by monks online to pretend to be a percussion instrument and get away with it.But looking at it now, I'm afraid I have to pick a serious Chinese musical instrument that can be used as a facade to bluff people.

Instead of continuing this topic, the old and the young sat opposite each other on both sides of the desk, chatting about their experience in Berlin in the past few days and the war stories recorded in the memoir manuscript.

When Ji Ma came back with big and small bags of food, the three of them had a lively dinner, and then Wei Ran returned to the studio with Ji Ma who was kicked out because of too loud snoring.

Behind them, Nicholas took out his mobile phone and dialed to Hongqi Forest Farm when the figures of Wei Ran and Wei Ran were blocked by buildings.

As soon as the phone was connected, Nicholas asked directly, "Is there something wrong with his mind?"

On the other end of the phone, Teacher Dalia, who was applying the mask, immediately stood up subconsciously and explained, "According to the analysis results of the psychological test, there are indeed some problems, and we are ready to correct them by adjusting the curriculum."

"Tell me the reason." Nicholas asked again, sitting on the sofa next to the fireplace.

Dalia heard the words, and hurriedly recounted the problems discovered before in detail, and even the matter of Karp's closing of the Weiran small black house was not missed.

"Karp is an idiot," Nicholas muttered, and said unquestionably, "Teach me something else first, and don't always let them hide in the Hongqi Forest Farm."

"understand!"

Teacher Dalia responded bluntly, then paused, and asked tentatively, "Captain, he is just a Chinese, we need it."

"You guys are idle anyway, aren't you?"

Nicholas was perfunctory at first, and then he said as if he was talking to himself, "It's been a long time since I met such an interesting little guy, just take it as a favor for me. Anyway, the Soviet Union is gone, even if he is a Chinese What does it matter to people?"

Dalia softened her tone, "You are the captain, so listen to you."

After hanging up the phone, Nicholas lay down on the soft sofa, and snored not long after.

And in the studio a few hundred meters away, after seeing the profile of the client who will follow them to Inta next month, Jima's eyes immediately glowed green, "Victor, you didn't lie to me?! Is it a girl?! All of them?"

"Put away your wretched expression"

Wei Ran angrily snatched the documents from Ji Ma, "Think carefully, this is the first batch of clients you received from my aunt, and all of them are classmates of my aunt's daughter. So if you do Damn, maybe this is the last batch of customers."

"Don't worry!" Jima immediately came to his senses, and patted his chest to make a promise, "I will definitely provide them with the best service like offering to God!"

"I hope you will serve the tourists who are willing to go to Inta as if you are serving God every time." Wei Ran reminded him very seriously, "As long as you mess up once, I am afraid no one will want to go there again."

Hearing this, Ji Ma also put away his joking attitude, and immediately took out his mobile phone and said, "I will contact Alili now to prepare!"

"It's still nearly a month away." Wei Ran was too lazy to talk nonsense with this guy, turned and walked to the bedroom, "You can find a place to lay the floor by yourself, remember to lock the shutter door."
