Chapter 178 Sacrifice Hue
"Everyone is gone, but I'm still reluctant to part with you!"

"What are you talking about, am I that unbearable?" Zhou Sen closed the door, walked back and said.

"Actually, even if you have something to do with this Natasha, Bai Yulan won't know. What are you afraid of?" Anna said.

"I'm your husband now, but you actually encouraged your husband to be nice to other women, are you out of your mind?"

"Have you fulfilled your duties as a husband?"

"Hey, don't you know what the relationship between us is?" Zhou Sen glared at Anna.

"I'm just talking, you still take it seriously, dinner is ready, ask me to come down and eat." Anna twisted her waist and stepped on the stairs directly upstairs.

This woman clearly has bad intentions for herself.

……

Khabarovsk First Hospital.

Doctor's apartment building.

Natasha returned to her apartment, took out the key to open the door, turned on the light, and walked in. There was a figure in the room.

"Natasha, why do you look unhappy when you see your uncle?" A middle-aged man in ordinary clothes got up and greeted her with a smile.

"Uncle Beshkov, you are a big man in the Far Eastern Military Region who everyone is talking about, how dare I be unhappy?" Natasha stepped forward, gave her a gentle hug, and then left.

"Uncle knows that you are in trouble, but there is no way, who made you meet him just by chance." Beshkov smiled, "Besides, don't you also want to be an excellent 'Cheka', isn't it right now? Is there such a chance?"

"Who is this Steven Zhou that deserves your attention?" Natasha asked curiously.

"A very important person. We need you to cooperate with him in a play. If necessary, we also need you to pass our information to the Japanese through you." Beshkov said.

"I'm still going to deliver the information?" Natasha was surprised.

"Don't worry, the information has been carefully screened and compiled by us, and he will not find any flaws." Beshkov said.

"I mean, he's a spy?"

"To be precise, he is a spy who was arranged by the intelligence agency of the Kwantung Army stationed in Bingcheng to sneak into Khabarovsk." Beshkov explained.

"I'm a doctor, where can I get the information for him?"

"Didn't you have a good relationship with General Vladimir Kirov, so I made up an identity for you. From now on, you are General Kirov's niece. You came to Kaba from Moscow without telling your family. Rovsk's..."

"Uncle Beshkov, do you think he will believe it?"

"Whether he will believe it or not, I don't know, but I know he will investigate, so I also made arrangements in Moscow, so he can't find out anything."

"You have arranged everything before you come to ask for my opinion?" Natasha said with some dissatisfaction.

"Didn't I come to discuss with you? The person next to him named Martha should be her partner. As for the relationship, it is probably fake, but it may be deceived. In short, you approach him and find out about them Haba Rovsk’s purpose, in addition, he may use you, when the time comes, you can go along with the flow and maintain a relationship with him, but you can take care of it yourself, don’t make a fake show, and be careful, he will set you up.” Don’t Shkov reminded.

"Uncle Beshkov, you want me to sacrifice my appearance. If I want to take this task, what reward will I get?" Natasha asked.

"You girl, doing things for the country and sacrificing a little bit of color, it's not for you to really have anything to do with him. Besides, you should do this, what reward do you want?"

"I'm not your intelligence agent, I'm just a doctor. For such a dangerous thing, I must have some motivation?"

"You're really just like your father, and you won't let go if it's good for you." Beshkov scolded, "Well, if you accept this task and complete it successfully, uncle will promise you a reward in private. , Uncle is very poor, and you can’t afford the expensive ones.”

"I want the latest Christie watch..." Natasha put forward her request.

Beshkov's eyelids twitched. He knew the brand, and it was going to make him bleed.

……

"This Natasha has a lot of background. I just inquired a little bit and heard a lot of news." At the dinner table, Anna said to Zhou Sen while eating bread, "Graduated from Moscow University School of Medicine, young and beautiful, and If she is capable, she should have stayed in Moscow, but how could she be assigned to Khabarovsk No. [-] Hospital, even going to Vladivostok is better than this.”

"You suspect, is there any other reason why she was assigned here?" Zhou Sen asked slowly, chewing bread.

"Isn't that obvious? She stands out from the crowd in the hospital. She is as beautiful as a flower, but no one dares to chase after her. This woman's background is so extraordinary that ordinary people really can't stand it."

"She should have been isolated in the hospital, right?"

"Except for the old one, the young doctors are not willing to contact her." Anna said.

"what reason?"

"She's a bit arrogant, no one would look down on her, and with her excellent medical skills, no one would like her naturally."

"I didn't see it, I think people are quite easy to get along with."

"That's for you, not for others." Anna snorted, "Also, she often goes in and out of the compound area where senior officers of the Far Eastern Military Region live. With this privilege, who would dare to provoke her?"

"It seems that we have inadvertently made friends with a big shot with great potential." Zhou Sen said with a chuckle.

"I don't mind. If you can take down this Natasha, it will definitely help our mission." Anna said.

"I don't want to sacrifice hue."

"It's up to you. Anyway, if you don't complete the task of Commander Shibuya, you will be the first to be unlucky." Anna got up after eating the last bite of bread and said, "I'm done eating, you eat slowly."

……

The conflict in the Halaha River area escalated rapidly, whether it was Shibuya Saburo's call back, or the relevant news heard by the quartermaster.

Zhou Sendu judged that the Japanese army would create another conflict similar to the Hassan Lake incident in the Haraha River area.

This time it was not directly against the Soviet army, but the Soviet and Mongolian coalition forces.

The internal situation of the Soviet army had already been disclosed to the Japanese army by the traitors. The Japanese army wanted to take this opportunity to take the Haraha River area as a springboard, and their ambition to plot the Far East was already clearly revealed.

Don't worry about Zhou Sen. Although a large number of low-level officers in the Soviet army have been purged, there are still people available after all.

When the Japanese army chose this time, they really planned to take advantage of others, but they also helped the Soviet side. Once a war was provoked, the cleaning would be suspended, unless the other party's head was caught by the door, and they were desperate to eliminate dissidents.

Then there is no help.

Anna suggested several times that Zhou Sen could sacrifice his appearance to get close to Natasha, but Zhou Sen was unmoved.

In Zhou Sen's view, there was someone behind Natasha, and if he made any moves, it would definitely attract the attention of the other party.

This is not necessarily a good thing.

He was reluctant to do things for the Japanese, if he hadn't been forced to do this, he wouldn't have come here.

He is a layman, and he has not yet reached such a high level of thought, so it is naturally impossible to "rather die than surrender". Even if this black history will become his trouble in the future, it is better than losing his head now.

What's more, it's worthless to die like this. Who can remember you?

Now the information will pass through his hands. He has the final say on how to send it to Saburo Shibuya and what wording to use.

A piece of wrong intelligence can determine the outcome of a battle.

Zhou Sen is also looking for opportunities.

But this opportunity is not easy to find.

……

After a few rounds of rain, the temperature has risen a lot, and the clothes on the girls on the street have also become lighter and thinner, with all kinds of skirts, colorful, competing for splendor.

The business of the clinic is relatively busy in the morning, and it will be better in the afternoon. Zhou Sen can still take a break from his busy schedule and go to a nearby cafe for a cup of coffee.

Or go to a public library and read a book.

Studying, recharging, and understanding everything in the local area, Zhou Sen found that he gradually fell in love with the small city of Khabarovsk.

On weekends, the clinic was occasionally closed, and Zhou Sen took Anna to the countryside to play, or to have dinner at Krasnov's house.

Life here is very slow and comfortable, except for the lack of supplies and the poverty of the people.

Time soon entered June.

On this day, Natasha came to the clinic in the afternoon and told him that the materials needed for the orthotics he designed had been obtained.

At the same time, he also found a mechanical repair shop for him. Zhou Sen could use the machines inside at night, and also found a senior fitter master to help him.

In this way, Zhou Sen got another job.

Go to this small repair shop every night and work with a fitter named Andre to work on the aligners.

In fact, it is not difficult to make orthotics. What is rare is various adjustments, and learning the other party's technology in the process of processing.

It's not a bad thing to have an extra skill, not to mention that Zhou Sen has plenty of time and energy now.

It took Zhou Sen and Andre three nights to process the parts, because the aluminum alloy was used, which is very expensive now, and it is used in the aviation industry, and ordinary people can't get it at all.

It can be seen how powerful this old man Vladimir Kirov is.

It took another four nights for debugging, and finally this orthotic custom-made for Vladimir Kirov was completed.

The material cost and labor cost paid here are really beyond the reach of ordinary people.

Of course, there must be excess materials, and Zhou Sen also used the excess materials to create a general-purpose version. Of course, the materials used were much less, and they were only used in key positions.

Not many people use this orthotic. After all, the situation like Vladimir Kirov is relatively rare.

After it was done, Zhou Sen didn't go to Natasha, but took it back to the clinic, and when she came to pick it up, she should know about it without him notifying her.

That old fitter, Andre, will surely bring the news back.

Sure enough, Natasha came to the clinic the next afternoon, and Zhou Sen gave her the finished orthotics and instructions for use that he wrote.

"Miss Natasha, you must take your time when using this orthotic, especially old Mr. Vladimir Kirov, he is an elderly man, the bone calcium is depleted rapidly, and the bones are relatively brittle, and need to be supplemented In the case of calcium, use it slowly, and don't act too hastily to cause an irreversible tragedy!" Zhou Sen solemnly reminded.

"I see, Mr. Steven, thank you for your reminder." Natasha accepted the instructions and thanked her.

Then, Zhou Sen showed her how to install and use it before handing it to her to pick it up.
