The train driver in the courtyard

"Li Da Che, last year, we reached the Geneva Agreement on the issue of the northern and southern monkeys.

The northern monkeys and southern monkeys separated with the 17° north latitude as the temporary dividing line and never fought again.

At that time, the Americans also raised their hands in approval.

Under such circumstances, they would not risk being despised by the big guys by attacking the Northern Monkey. "

After the northern and southern monkeys separated, the northern monkey took the same path as ours.

The relationship between the two families was very good at that time, and we were the first family in the big family to recognize Bei Houzi.

The relationship between the two families can be described as "comrades and brothers", which is both close and unbreakable.

Therefore, the foreign affairs department pays special attention to the Northern Monkey.

Yu Jinan is an expert in studying the relationships of northern monkeys.

Now when I met Li Aiguo, an ordinary worker, I wanted to ask about Bei Houzi's family.

Inside the car.

Li Aiguo smoked a cigarette and leaned in a comfortable posture.

He looks like those old men who give orders to the world.

“Don’t look at what the enemy says, look at what the enemy does.

If the Americans really wanted to reconcile the North and South Monkeys, they would not have planned to establish the Southeast Asia Treaty Organization in September. "

As soon as these words came out.

Zhang Dongfang nodded slowly.

Some comrades in the department were blindly optimistic about the situation on the Monkey side because of the Geneva Agreement, but he disagreed.

"Can you help me analyze why the American family must take action against the Northern Monkey?"

Li Aiguo said in a deep voice: "That's because of us!
The Americans are just a paper tiger. They were beaten on the northern battlefield and realized that our rise is unstoppable.

In order to contain our family, they must take control of the North Monkey family.

By then, we will be surrounded from three sides.

Even though Americans often talk about peace, in reality they are just shouting for what they lack.

They have inherited the style of the Anglo-Brigands.

As soon as they realize they are threatened, they will immediately drop their disguise and raise their big sticks."

Li Aiguo's views on the Americans were insightful, and Yu Jinan nodded frequently after hearing them.

He decided to wait until he arrived at the college and then try to write an internal reference and submit it to the department, hoping to attract the department's attention.

If we can make arrangements in advance, we will definitely benefit from the actions of the Americans.

"Li Da Che, you have extraordinary insight."

"We train drivers are on the road all year round, and you know that the passengers on the train are very talented and speak well.

I learned a lot, for example, you are a diplomatic talent."

Li Aiguo pointed at Yu Jinan.

Yu Jinan's doubts immediately disappeared.

The train is indeed a good place to discuss these things.

Everyone doesn’t know each other, and they come from all walks of life, so their information is very wide.

Yu Jinan took out a notebook from his pocket, wrote down a line of address, and handed it to Li Aiguo.

"Li Da Che, this is my address in Beijing. Let's keep in touch in the future."

Li Aiguo took it and put it in his pocket.

Yu Jinan will definitely become an important foreign affairs talent in the future, and we have made arrangements in advance.

The clock hands on the train station platform pointed to 7:27, and the international train was about to depart.

The train traveled north from the capital city, accompanied by the sound of heavy metal collisions, and swept through the vast Mongolian desert with yellow dust.

The international train passes through the Badaling Great Wall, passes through Zhangjiakou and Jining, and stops in Erenhot.

Since the railway rails in Mongolia and Russia use a 1520 mm wide gauge, while we use the international standard track gauge of 1435 mm, there is a difference of 85 mm.

Therefore, every train passing through must undergo wheel changes and replace the train chassis in Erenhot.

The train will stop at this station for about 5 hours, and passengers can rest in the lounge inside the station.

"Darren Li, let's get off the car and take a walk." Yu Jinan took the initiative to invite.

Li Aiguo agreed immediately.

The two were about to get off the car when they suddenly remembered someone.

He returned to his bunk and nudged Captain Xing Duanchang who was on the middle bunk.

"Captain, we've arrived at Erenhot. Aren't you eager to see the train chassis replaced?"

Xing Duanchang was sleeping soundly, but he woke up immediately when he heard the shouting and jumped down from his bed.

Even though Director Xing was an old train operator, he had never seen the entire chassis of a train replaced. How could he miss such a good opportunity?

"Erenhot, here I come."

After he put on his shoes, he ran downstairs with a bang.

Li Aiguo: "."

Zhang Dongfang: “.”

He was silent for a moment, then whispered, "Li Dache, your leader is quite spirited."

Several people got off the train and stood on the platform not far away to watch the train change its chassis.

Railway workers separated each carriage, then used machines to separate the carriage from the wheel chassis and placed it on another wheel chassis.

The carriage and the machine are so huge that the two tiny people feel like they are sitting in a Transformer, at the mercy of the machine.

Director Xing was amazed and said, "This is the power of us train people!"

Yu Jinan and the passengers on the train were very interested in replacing the chassis.

Some people even took out their cameras to record this rare scene.

Amid the noisy crowd, Li Aiguo's gaze vaguely slid across carriage number three.

The train had to stop for five hours, but the two messengers did not get off. It seemed that they were being extremely cautious.

Five hours later, an announcement was made at the station, notifying passengers to reboard the train.

Li Aiguo straightened his collar and walked towards the train with Yu Jinan, following the crowd.

Suddenly his face changed and he stopped.

I saw the door of carriage number three opened.

More than a dozen people wearing Russian railway police uniforms entered the carriage, led by a man wearing a gray coat and a top hat.

Xing Duanchang also noticed this scene and frowned: "After passing Erlianhot, we will soon cross the border. The driver and crew on the train have been taken over by the Russians. But does one carriage need so many train police?"

The fat man next to him reminded him, "Comrade, don't be nosy. After passing Erenhot, the Russians will be in charge of the train. They are no match for our own train police."

The fat man’s surname is Chen. He is said to be the leader of the supply and marketing system and his bunk is in the next carriage.

He takes an international train round trip almost every month.

Li Aiguo also learned a lot of secrets from him.

For example, once they cross the border, the Chinese passengers and the Russian passengers no longer chat with each other.

Then when parking, you are not allowed to get out of the car temporarily, and you are not allowed to take pictures outside through the car window.

The old cat standing in the distance also turned pale.

They had taken international trains three times before, tracking the courier in carriage three, and although there were patrols, there had never been so many of them.

Especially the man in the top hat was obviously the leader of the Cheka.

"The target's defenses may have changed. We need to find out in time and then notify Driver Li."

When the old cat realized the seriousness of the problem, he immediately whispered a warning to Swallow.

Swallow, disguised as the leader's wife, moved among the crowd and conveyed the message to Lao Hei and Lao Bai.

The five-member team swam into the carriage like fish, blending into the crowd, then got on the train and walked towards carriage number three.

As Yan Zi passed through carriage number four, she was stopped by a conductor.

"No passing here."

"Dear flight attendant, I feel a little uncomfortable in my stomach. I would like to use the bathroom in the connecting area. Please help me."

Yan Zi's face was pale, with beads of sweat oozing from her forehead. She held her abdomen tightly with a frown on her face.

Her lips trembled slightly, as if she was trying to endure the knife-like pain in her abdomen.

Her long black hair was scattered on her shoulders, which made her look more helpless and vulnerable. There was a hint of pleading in her eyes, which would soften anyone's heart.

Ivanov, who was disguised as a train police officer, acted as if he hadn't noticed and said coldly, "No passage here, please leave immediately."

His hands had now reached his waist.

"I'm sorry. I'll leave right away." Yan Zi's eyes narrowed, she turned around and left carriage number four and walked towards carriage number five.

At this time, Chernov, wearing a top hat, walked out of carriage No. 3, looked at Yan Zi's back and asked, "What's going on?"

"Report to Major, a lady just wanted to use the bathroom, but I sent her away." Ivanov answered while standing at attention.

"Have you investigated the other party's identity?"

".She was just an ordinary passenger"

Facing the major's cold gaze, Ivanov's face became embarrassed. He wanted to explain himself, but he couldn't open his mouth.

He and those police officers were all transferred from the Cheka and belonged to the third operation team of the first bureau of the Cheka.

The First Bureau had an important task in the Cheka and was the agency responsible for the Cheka's external intelligence reconnaissance.

The action team is the fist of a group, and its members are all Cheka elites.

Major Chernov is not so easy to fool as he is able to become the captain and command the Third Squad.

The Cheka were more afraid of the Cheka than ordinary people. At this time, Ivanov had already thought about whether to use a hoe or a shovel when he was digging potatoes in Siberia.

Contrary to his expectations, the major did not continue to blame him.

Instead, he said with a warm face: "Be careful next time. Our operation this time is a heavy responsibility. If we can't escort the messenger back safely, I guess I will have to dig potatoes with you."

"Yes!" Ivanov looked at the major gratefully and straightened his chest.

He didn't see that after the major turned around, he took out a small notebook from his pocket and wrote Ivanov's name on it.

The major continued to patrol the carriage.

There were more than ten train attendants assigned to one carriage. The passengers in other carriages all knew the rules and were staying in their carriages obediently.

Of course, there were also a few who relied on the fact that they were leaders on the Russian side and wanted to get off the train to rest, but they were beaten and kicked by the conductor and ended up with bruised faces.

After making sure that there was no one else in the carriage except the Cheka, the major walked to the door of compartment number three and knocked rhythmically a few times.

After a moment, the door of the box opened.

The courier Oleg looked at the major helplessly: "Major Chernov, I think you are making a fuss out of nothing. Now the train has crossed the border and entered our territory. I believe those people dare not take action."

"You don't understand how terrible our enemies are. They never give up until they achieve their goals." The major said sternly, "Comrade Messenger, I hope you can follow our instructions."

"Okay, okay, I promise you." The courier Oleg knew the temperament of these people and did not dare to say anything more. He called his assistant and took the box out of private room No. 3.

The major took out his key, opened the door of the bakery opposite, pointed inside and said, "I wish you a pleasant journey."

Woo woo woo, eat, eat, eat
The international train was running through the snow, emitting bursts of black smoke, and its wheels were splashing up snow and mud.

The atmosphere in the carriage is warm and quiet, as if isolated from the world.

The soft seats sway gently with the rhythm of the train, making people relax and immerse themselves in this rare comfort.

In particular, Director Xing received three bottles of red wine from the conductor with his ticket.

Russian folk music was playing on the radio above the carriage.

Tasting red wine, listening to music, the lights in the carriage are soft, swaying gently with the shaking of the train, life is so comfortable.

"Captain, I feel a little uncomfortable in my stomach. I'm going to the toilet." Li Aiguo suddenly put down his wine glass.

"Remember, don't talk to the Russians, or you might get into trouble." Duanchang Xing reminded.

"clear."

Li Aiguo had already pushed open the door of the compartment and walked towards the connection between the carriages, holding his stomach.

"Excuse me, excuse me"

A dark-faced man was blocking the connection. Li Aiguo stretched out his hand and pulled his arm, trying to enter the bathroom.

The black-faced man said dissatisfiedly: "My wife is in there, why are you using the other one?"

"I'm so sorry." Li Aiguo apologized politely and turned the door to another bathroom.

After closing the door and pulling up the side window, he looked up at the light bulb hanging from the ceiling.

"As expected of a high-end train, it even has ceiling lights installed."

Muttering softly, Li Aiguo looked around and saw that there was no place to stand on tiptoe.

He pushed his left foot on the car body, and with the support of his right foot, he pushed hard on the side of the car body twice. His body had already begun to tilt. Li Aiguo was not in a hurry. He pushed hard with his right foot again, and the whole person flew out at an angle.

Taking advantage of the situation, he reached out and touched a note above the "ceiling light".

Then it landed steadily on the ground.

Well, our Li Aiguo has just proved that if you jump from a high-speed train, you will not fly backwards.

[Students who know the principle, please type the answer on the public screen]

The note was written in code. Li Aiguo glanced at it and instantly understood its contents. He tore the note into pieces and swallowed it.

Then he squatted in the bathroom again, wrote a note and threw it on the lampshade.

The lampshade swayed slightly as the train passed, and nothing could be seen underneath.

Li Aiguo filled the toilet, whistled, opened the door and walked out.

The black-faced man was still standing at the connection between the carriages. When he saw Li Aiguo coming out, he turned around and made way.

Li Aiguo straightened his collar, turned around and walked towards the private room.

After he left, the black-faced man knocked on the door of the bathroom next door.

The door opened and Yan Zi walked out, still holding her stomach.

"Wife, are you okay?"

"It's okay, my stomach just hurts a little. Let's go back to the room."

The two of them went into the private room next door like the young couple.

At the junction of the opposite carriages, a pair of eyes flashed by, and a pen wrote on the notebook, "The woman who just tried to spy on carriage No. 3 is not abnormal at the moment, and the surveillance can be lifted."

He didn't see a white-faced man enter the bathroom opposite after Yan Zi left.

Woo woo woo, eat, eat, eat
At 2:40 in the morning, the international train departed again after stopping in Zamyn-Uud.

In a private room.

Li Aiguo leaned against the bunk.

Listening to Director Xing's snoring and looking at the twinkling lights outside the window, he fell into deep thought.

According to what Yan Zi discovered, there are now many more sentries in carriage No. 3, and the defense is tighter than before.

This is not the point.

The point is, Li Aiguo felt that Lao Mao had made a serious mistake: according to the original plan, Yan Zi would pretend to be a passenger and knock on the door of compartment number three to confirm that the messenger was in compartment number three.

Now that carriage number three is blocked, the messenger in the compartment may also have been moved.

Also, Yan Zi discovered that she was being followed.

They were discovered before they even started the operation. This was the first time in the history of the five-member team.

The Cheka really lives up to its reputation. Far from being discouraged, Li Aiguo was filled with excitement.

Those enemies in the country are all little Karamis.

It’s interesting to be able to fight with masters.

The private room next door.

Lao Hei sat at the door of the private room, smoking and looking out the car window at the night view that he would never be able to appreciate.

In a private room.

Lao Mao, Lao Bai and Yan Zi analyzed the current situation, and each of them felt that they were in big trouble.

The noise from the wheels penetrates the heavy body of the car and still sounds particularly harsh.

Yan Zi raised her hand and said, "I've been targeted anyway, so I might as well take out the guns I've hidden and kill them all. Then I can hijack the train and I won't have to worry about not being able to get the box."

It was the first time that Lao Bai saw Yan Zi being pushed to this extent, and he smiled bitterly and said, "We are not on good terms with Big Brother now, but we cannot turn against each other because we have a common enemy.

Yan Zi, have you ever thought about the impact of hijacking a train? The Americans would be the happiest people then. "

Yan Zi also knew this truth, and said somewhat disappointedly: "What should we do? We can't just watch the boxes being sent to Moscow."

Lao Bai said: "Isn't there still driver Li?"

Yan Zi said, "Driver Li is indeed amazing, but the Cheka have surrounded the carriage so tightly that we have lost the location of the box. Even if he has extraordinary abilities, there is nothing he can do."

The two men started arguing, and the old cat, smoking a cigar, did not stop them, but fell into deep thought.

After learning that the Cheka had strengthened its defenses, the old cat did not realize the seriousness of the problem.

After all, Li Aiguo’s action plan does not require passing through the carriage.

However, Li Aiguo was keenly aware of the problem and wrote down his doubts on a note, which was the possibility that the messenger had changed the private room.

After hearing the news, Lao Mao broke out in a cold sweat. He immediately found the Chinese liaison on the train and checked the passenger information.

Sure enough, we found that in carriage No. 3, in addition to room No. 3, there were three other rooms reserved as diplomatic rooms.

At this time, Lao Mao realized that he had made a big mistake, which was to underestimate the Cheka.

"Okay, stop arguing!" After the two men had vented their emotions, Lao Mao put out his cigar and stopped them.

Yan Zi also realized her own loss of composure, took a deep breath and calmed down.

"Team Leader, what should we do now?"

"Wait." The old cat was silent for a moment, then uttered a word accompanied by cigar smoke.

"Wait?" Yan Zi was a little confused.

"Driver Li once said that in our line of work, we must learn to be patient and wait."

The old cat yawned, took off his shoes, and lay down on the bunk, and soon began to snore.

For some reason, Yan Zi, who was extremely anxious just now, suddenly calmed down.

She leaned back on the bunk and fell into a deep sleep.

Woo woo woo, eat, eat, eat like crazy. In the next two days, the international train passed through Ulaanbaatar and entered the cold Siberia.

Everything was still calm in the carriage.

Li Aiguo was like other passengers who were taking an international train for the first time. He wandered around, admired the exotic scenery outside the window, and made friends with the passengers in the next-door compartments.

Several of them often sat at the door of the private room with Fatty Chen, smoking and chatting.

After learning that Li Aiguo was a train driver, a young female comrade seemed particularly interested and often pulled him aside to chat.

This female comrade was named Chen Xianglan. She was a staff member sent by the First Ministry of Machine Building to Moscow to discuss cooperation.

"Comrade Chen, Comrade Yu Jinan is a talent in diplomacy. You will both be in Moscow in the future, so please take care of each other."

Li Aiguo saw that the honest Yu Jinan would occasionally glance at Chen Xianglan, so he helped the two of them to get together.

He had noticed long ago that although Chen Xianglan always came to the private room under the pretext of listening to interesting things on the railway, her eyes were always on Yu Jinan.

Men and women these days are more conservative.

If Li Aiguo had not introduced them, the two would have lost contact after getting off the car and might never have been together again.

I have to say that our Li Aiguo is much more qualified as a matchmaker than the third uncle.

At the beginning, Chen Xianglan was a little hesitant.

In less than half a day, the two started talking about Gorky and exchanged contact information.

Section Chief Xing was stunned and gave Li Aiguo a thumbs up: "Aiguo, when we get back to the section, I will immediately transfer you to the labor union and be responsible for introducing partners to the workers."

Li Aiguo: "."

The atmosphere in the carriage was very lively, and there was a knock on the door outside.

Chen Xianglan, who was sitting at the door, opened the door and saw an old Russian conductor checking tickets outside. She didn't care and handed over the ticket immediately.

Li Aiguo, however, focused his attention on the flight attendant behind the flight attendant.

This man was of burly build, with his hands on his waist. After the door opened, he scanned everyone's faces with his sharp eyes.

This person is the Cheka!
They are going to check all the passengers on the train.

Sure enough, after checking the ticket, the conductor asked Chen Xianglan to show her ID as well.

This request is a bit excessive. After all, the identity documents have been checked by the Chinese crew when boarding the train.

Chen Xianglan politely declined the other party's request.

"Comrade passenger, you are not in your own country now. I hope you can obey orders. Otherwise, I cannot guarantee what will happen after you get off the bus."

Cheka pushed the flight attendant aside and faced Chen Xianglan directly. The corners of his mouth curled up in a hideous smile, making him look particularly terrifying.

Chen Xianglan was just a little girl. She had never seen such a scene before and was so frightened that her face turned pale.

Bang. Li Aiguo saw Yu Jinan standing in a daze on the bunk and quietly kicked him.

Yu Jinan came to his senses, quickly stood up and helped Chen Xianglan smooth things over in fluent Russian.

As a foreign affairs officer, he said in a gentle tone that although Ivanov's behavior was a bit excessive, the two families were brothers and there was no need to fall out over a trivial matter.

And he took the initiative to hand over his ID.

As a trainee, Yu Jinan enjoyed some preferential treatment even from the Russians.

Cheka Ivanov, who was sent to inspect the carriage, was originally full of anger, but now seeing Yu Jinan's cooperation, his expression eased a little.

After checking the documents of Yu Jinan and Chen Xianglan, he came to Li Aiguo.

"Comrade, where is your ID?"

"Here."

Li Aiguo cracked melon seeds and handed over his and Duanchang Xing's ID cards.

"Chief of Qianmen Locomotive Depot, train driver? What are you doing here with us?" Ivanov frowned and his eyes instantly became alert.

It was the first time he saw workers taking an international train.

"An old friend invited me."

"Is there any proof?"

"Here!"

Li Aiguo handed over the invitation letter.

The bright red seal of the provincial party committee on the invitation letter shone brightly under the dim light. Ivanov was about to reach out to take it, but his hand suddenly retracted as if it had been burned by a branding iron.

It was an invitation letter from the state committee and it was a private invitation.

Ivanov's heart skipped a beat.

"Still have any questions?"

"No, sir, I wish you a pleasant journey."

Ivanov backed out of the private room and after closing the door, he took a deep breath, smiled bitterly and shook his head.

Although the Cheka is feared enough in the Russian country, they will not offend the local tyrants unless it is necessary.

After all, the credit goes to your superior, but offending others is your personal matter.

Zaporizhia Oblast is the hometown of the Cossacks. The people there are rough and the territory is vast. If a few people are buried in the mines, no one will be able to find them.

Especially since Zaporizhia Oblast joined later, the superiors had very weak control over that area, and the Cheka's local activities also required the cooperation of the local tyrants.

In this case, you should be more careful.

Ivanov was about to continue his inspection when he heard the major's voice beside him.

"Comrade Ivanov, what happened?"

Ivanov looked around, pulled the major aside, and reported the matter of the invitation letter in a low voice.

"Isn't it just an invitation letter from the provincial party committee? I guess it's some kid from some family who's making trouble again. Our Ministry of Internal Affairs will act according to the discipline. There's no need to be afraid of them." The major puffed out his chest and scolded.

Ivanov nodded.

The major's expression softened a little, and he patted his shoulder: "But the fathers of those children are all comrades in high positions, with a very high level of ideological awareness, and they will never sell out their own interests.

So, their friends won't have any problems either, Ivanov, you did the right thing just now."

"That's because of your teaching, Major."

"Okay, continue checking and don't miss any suspicious points."

After the major left with his hands behind his back, Ivanov spat with disdain.
