War Photographer's Notebook

Chapter 695 Seed
He rushed all the way back to the Aurora Tavern, but when he opened the door and entered, he found that Anfeiya was sitting on the high stool in the bar counter and typing on the keyboard of the laptop.

"Why are you here? Where are old Ivan and Aurora?" Wei Ran asked puzzled.

Anfeiya took out the lollipop in her mouth and pointed to the transport truck parked outside the window, "They are talking about business in the transport truck outside."

"You didn't follow?" Wei Ran asked puzzled, logically Sui Sui would definitely bring her with him when talking about business.

"I have other things to do."

Anfeiya put the lollipop back into her mouth, leaned her upper body over, and whispered with a hint of excitement, "Boss, there is an extra server in a room on the third floor, which is bigger than what we saw in the United States." That better server! The server that was just assembled, and the box hasn't even had time to throw it out!"

"How do you know?" Wei Ran asked in surprise.

"When we went upstairs, the packing boxes were piled up in the corridor."

Anfeya spread her hands, "Old Mr. Ivan, on the recommendation of Aurora, agreed to let me help optimize the server and network."

"It's just optimization?" Wei Ran looked at the other party suspiciously. It was too obvious that he was doing this. He was obviously waiting for Anfeiya to discover that server!

Anfeiya showed a sunny smile when she heard the words, "I also need an appearance fee."

Seeing this, Wei Ran thought for a while but didn't say anything. Whether it was Anfeya's meeting at the right time, or old Ivan and even Karp and others had ulterior motives behind it, since Anfeya herself had confidence, then such a thing It's not my turn to worry about it.

After figuring this out, he simply turned around and left the tavern, walking towards the transport truck parked beside him.When he opened the rear hatch, he saw Sui Sui and Maya picking up their cups, touching old Ivan who was sitting across the table, and saying "happy cooperation" together.

Glancing at Anfisa who was making coffee by the stove, Wei Ran said with a smile, "A cup of coffee, thank you."

"Wait a moment," Anfisa responded with a smile.

"It seems that you and I have reached some cooperation intentions?" Wei Ran sat beside old Ivan and asked.

"certainly"

Sui Sui and Maya looked at each other and nodded triumphantly, "In the future, as long as we send people over, Uncle Ivan will arrange the most reliable driver to drive them from the small town of Tula to Tuluhanks. We will also visit all the gathering areas along the way. In summer, we can still send people over, as long as we change the means of transportation from cars to boats."

"Off-road vehicles can drive themselves, but boats can't."

Old Ivan put down his glass and added cautiously, "And it won't start until the end of December at the earliest. Before that, I need to find a reliable driver and talk to those gathering areas along the way."

"I think there is someone who can help you with this matter."

"Help me?" Old Ivan looked at Wei Ran suspiciously, "Who?"

Taking a sip of the coffee from Anfesa, Wei Ran said with a smile, "We were able to find you thanks to a retired geography teacher in the downstream town of Needham, his name is Laurits, He was the son of a German prisoner of war.

He has many students along the Lower Tunguska River, and if you can persuade him to work for you, things will be much easier for you. "

"Retired geography teacher?"

Old Ivan raised his eyebrows. Soon, the girls and their children will be sent over. He himself said that he needs to hire a teacher or two.

At this time, Wei Ran said that there was a retired geography teacher who could help him, which inevitably made old Ivan tempted.And he also believes that the "things you have to do" that Wei Ran said is by no means receiving some tourists from big cities.

Of course, among these trivial information, what moved him the most was the phrase "the son of a German prisoner of war".If such an identity is used well
"His wife is also a music teacher." Sui Sui added with some regret, "Unfortunately, I didn't see her last time."

"Mr. Laurits seems to be very famous in the local area." Maya, who is usually quiet and not very talkative, also commented.

"When I have a chance in the future, I will talk to Comrade Mr. Laurits." Old Ivan responded with a normal expression.

"Old Ivan, there is one more thing I want to talk to you about."

"What's the matter?" Old Ivan smiled and looked at Wei Ran who was sitting beside him.

"What happened in the past, do you want more people to know?"

"Are you an idiot?" Old Ivan asked angrily.

"But someone must remember your efforts and sacrifices, right?" Wei Ran, who asked a stupid question on purpose just now, asked back.

"What exactly do you want to say?" Old Ivan looked impatiently at Wei Ran who was sitting with a smile on his face.

"Old Ivan, how about letting me take this transport vehicle away?"

Seeing that the other party opened his mouth to say something, Wei Ran immediately sped up his speech and added, "I bought a workshop in Kazan as a venue for a photography exhibition. After the decoration is completed, there will be a lot of photographs taken on the battlefields of World War II on display. old photos of the car, and I want the car to be on permanent display there as well.

Of course, of course, this transporter is still yours, it will always be yours, and you can take it with you at any time.Maybe no one will know what you have done in the future, but at least those who have been to my photography showroom in the future will remember this car. "

"never mind"

Old Ivan thought for a moment, and finally shook his head, "What happened at that time does not need anyone to know, nor does anyone need to remember. So this transport truck should be parked here, when I don't want to continue to run this tavern , but also to drive it back to the Wild Fire Rescue Station.”

"really."

Wei Ran muttered to himself and didn't force it. He just smiled and said, "There will always be enough spacious space for the photos you took at that time and this car in my showroom."

"thank you for your kindness"

Old Ivan responded noncommittally, apparently not taking Wei Ran's kindness seriously.

For Wei Ran, although his efforts to fool this transport vehicle into his hands were unsuccessful, the conversation just now made him [-] to [-] percent sure that there must be Tinder information in the safe of this transport vehicle.

Whether it was Apoli in the past or old Ivan today, he most likely knew that the information on Tinder was in the safe!
Maybe even Karp and the others have already guessed the answer, but out of some kind of tacit understanding or some kind of pity, everyone is pretending to be stupid and not pointing out this matter.

Forget it, let him continue to keep the property that belongs to the Soviet Union
Wei Ran sighed secretly and made a decision. As for the tinder information he had obtained, he naturally couldn't get it out in a short time, otherwise even a vegetable would be able to include himself as a suspect.

Rather than betting on whether old Ivan, Karp and the others would forgive him, it would be more reliable to bet on whether they would bury their bodies completely in the same place.

After figuring out the key to everything, Wei Ran wisely changed the topic, and together with Sui Sui and Maya, chatted with this old guy who had lived in seclusion in the wilderness for more than [-] years.

By the way, Wei Ran casually suggested that the Aurora Tavern might use the cargo compartment of this transport vehicle as a refrigerator to store more ingredients.

Compared with sending this car into a spotless showroom, old Ivan obviously agrees with such an ulterior but very practical suggestion.

Chatting with old Ivan in the warm transport vehicle for a long time, they left the warm transport vehicle and returned to the tavern until they drank a pot full of coffee.

In the next few days, Sui Sui was busy discussing the great business of slaughtering sheep with Maya, the actual owner of the tavern, and Ivan, the actual operator of the tavern, almost every day. The one downstairs helped run the tavern, and the one upstairs was busy setting up the server.

Of course, Wei Ran was not idle either. From time to time, he drove to the home of Lauritz, a retired teacher in the small town of Needham, with old Ivan and rich gifts, and finally succeeded in persuading the two A retired old teacher, went to the tavern to take care of the young mothers and their children who were coming.

When Sui Sui and Maya finally made their plans, when Anfeiya finally finished debugging the server hidden in the deepest room on the third floor, there was only one week left until November, and at the same time , Everyone finally waited for a cargo flight to Irkutsk.

Saying goodbye to the old Ivan who personally drove them to the airport, Wei Ran and others boarded the cargo plane again under the leadership of the chattering Dmitri under the falling snowflakes.

Almost at the same time as this cargo flight took off, another cargo-type Il-76 also landed steadily at Tulu Hanks, a straight-line distance of 600 kilometers.

As the cargo door opened, more than a dozen faces were tightly covered by the hoods of furry winter clothes. A pair of staff dressed as airport porters each led one or two children of different heights. Under the leadership of that person, they lined up to a Mi-17 passenger helicopter not far away.

Watching all the adults and children get into the cabins of the two helicopters, Gorman, who led the team, got into the cabin last and closed the heavy door, and the passengers in the row of cabins patiently and meticulously fastened their seat belts.

A moment later, the helicopter lifted off smoothly under Karp's driving. After circling a little more, it flew straight away from the airport, and flew towards the small town of Tula, almost clinging to the scalp of the coniferous forest.

The range of [-] kilometers has already exceeded the maximum range for this helicopter without additional fuel tanks.

However, in the uninhabited wilderness where the middle point of the connection between Tulu Hanks and Tula Township is, Karp drove the cargo helicopter rented from the town of Tula more than a week ago. Enough aviation fuel.

It took more than an hour to fly from Tulu Hanks to this piece of wilderness that doesn't even have a name. Before the propellers of the plane stopped completely, Gorman had already opened the cabin door and jumped with the two girls. He got down and pulled out the electric oil pump from the white tent under a pine tree not far away.

A moment later, the passenger helicopter turned off its positioning system and took off again. The whole process was almost entirely dependent on Gorman's use of a compass to navigate and fly to a forest glade [-] kilometers away from the small town of Tula.

At the edge of this open space, old Ivan who drove an off-road vehicle had already been waiting for a long time.Even not far from his off-road vehicle, there were still several barrels of fuel that arrived at an unknown time.

Opening the cabin door with a "crash", Gorman pointed to the off-road vehicle outside the cabin and said in English, "Go, the people in that vehicle will take good care of you, he will teach you knowledge, and help you plump your seas." Pull the organization. It will help you fulfill your dreams, and it will also help you complete your revenge."

"Thank you, Mr. Usama." The girls in the lead thanked each other in unison, and before jumping off the cabin, they each gave Gorman a gentle hug.

Watching these young mothers and their children board the off-road vehicle driven by old Ivan alone, and patiently waited for the severely overloaded off-road vehicle to completely disappear from sight.Only then did Gorman jump out of the cabin and refuel the helicopter for the second time with familiarity.

"Usama, heh! What a good name." Karp, who was sitting in the cockpit, joked with a cigarette in his mouth.

"Americans are sure to love this name"

Gorman closed the cabin door with a smile, "Let's go back, the seeds have been planted now, we just need to wait patiently, and we will know what kind of fruit it will bear in the end."
