The passionate years starting from the college entrance examination

The winter in Moscow is exceptionally long and cold.

The cold wind blowing in from the Arctic Circle is more unbearable than ice skates.

The cold wind from outside blew into the warm office, making Kombalov, who was only wearing two thin clothes, shiver with cold and sneeze again.

Compared with the physical discomfort, the people in front of him who were armed with guns were the reason why Kombalov felt vaguely uneasy.

"Kombalov, this is a search warrant and arrest warrant from the relevant departments. You have the right to remain silent, but every word you say will be presented in court as evidence."

This is a very familiar line from a movie. Kombalov never imagined that one day he would actually say these words in real life when someone pointed a gun at him.

What a great irony!
Maybe he should have thought of this earlier. After all, he seemed to have done this before, right?

It was a long time ago. At that time, he was just a nobody, so he often did these dirty and tiring jobs.

But he didn't expect that the bullet he fired many years ago would eventually hit him.

Kombalov was well aware of his crimes. He had no way to resist at this time and could only ask to contact a lawyer. He needed to leave Moscow.

"I'm sorry, you can't contact anyone right now. All you can do is keep silent."

Hearing the cold voice of the man holding the gun, Kombalov despaired.

When he thought of the money and beautiful women he had left behind, he felt as if his heart was being cut by a knife.

Where should I go?

He absolutely cannot be arrested, but now silver bracelets are on his hands, what else can he do?

Half an hour later, Zhang Qingshan and his colleagues received a report from below that Kombalov had committed suicide out of fear of punishment.

"He was a very smart man, but it's such a pity."

Ma Shouchang nodded and agreed:
"It's not a pity at all. For a person like him, death is not a pity. On the contrary, it's a good thing for him to die."

If a super corrupt official like Kombalov were in mainland China, he would be shot a hundred times.

But this is Moscow, a place that has completely changed. Moscow is rotten to the core.

"Don't worry about this person. Next we are going to take action against the Space Agency. Is this plan really reliable?"

Zhao Zunmin spoke in a deep voice, and Ma Shouchang, Zhang Qingshan and the others immediately became serious.

The topic they were about to discuss was extremely dangerous, and once the mission was launched, there was no turning back.

And you can only succeed, not fail.

If the goal is to engage in construction, people like Zhao Zunmin are not qualified.

But when it comes to sabotage, they are really good at it.

Some time ago, they reported to Beijing that the Moscow Space Agency wanted to be the first to land on the moon before the mainland.

Zhang Qingshan and his colleagues had no idea what discussions were taking place in the mainland regarding Moscow's cunning idea.

Anyway, let them draw up a mission plan and see if it is possible to disrupt the Moscow Space Agency's operation.

After receiving this task requirement, Zhao Zunmin and his colleagues felt overwhelmed.

Because this thing is really not simple.

You know, the Moscow Space Agency is not a vegetarian.

Even though Moscow is rotten to the core today, this has little direct relationship with the Space Agency.

It can even be said that because of the competition with the mainland, the Moscow Space Agency has become more powerful than before.

Of course, they have also learned from their previous failure in the competition with Washington, so this time they will not give the mainland any chance and will certainly do their best to complete the task.

In other words, if Zhao Zunmin and his team wanted to complete the mission of disrupting the Moscow Space Agency's moon landing, it would undoubtedly be as difficult as the eighteenth level of hell.

But no matter how difficult it is, we must carry out the mission.

After spending several days developing a plan, Zhao Zunmin and his team submitted it first.

Since the Moscow Space Agency has already begun preparing for action and will launch the launch mission at the end of this month or early January, Zhao Zunmin and his team do not have much time to prepare for the mission.

In addition to submitting plans, Zhao Zunmin and his colleagues also need to pay close attention to the situation in Moscow as a whole and begin preparing to establish close contact with those great nobles.

Zhao Zunmin and his men must find out how much money and power some of the great nobles have.

It's just because this is the calm before the storm.

Zhang Qingshan, Ma Shouchang, Zhao Zunmin and others may have sensed that something was wrong, or even felt it very strongly. But even so, they were not as serious and sensitive about this matter as Chen Guohua in the capital.

Chen Guohua was even personally involved in the plan to destroy the Moscow Space Agency, which shows how much he values ​​Moscow.

Yes, even Tokyo doesn’t take it that seriously.

After all, the situation in Tokyo is simpler. As long as the six major financial groups in Tokyo come up with a good performance plan, Tokyo's housing prices will definitely start to plummet.

After the crash, Chen Guohua will certainly turn his back on his words and will definitely take over these high-quality assets in Tokyo.

By then, they will have to use some brains and hands, but it doesn't matter over in Tokyo, they can't make much waves.

On the other hand, the situation in Moscow is quite different.

Chen Guohua simply modified the plan and then sent it back to Zhao Zunmin and others to implement it.

Only success is allowed and no failure is allowed!

That's the only requirement for this mission.

It is precisely such demands that are higher and more frustrating.

In an office in a red I-shaped building in a bustling area in the center of Moscow, Zhao Zunmin, Ma Shouchang, Zhang Qingshan and others looked at the plan in front of them and fell into deep thought.

Who should be sent to carry out this mission?

This is definitely a question that needs to be thought about. It's not because this mission is a life-threatening one that everyone is afraid of. On the contrary, the more such missions are, the more people are willing to risk their lives for them.

Everyone knows that the bigger the wind and waves, the more expensive the fish.

Who doesn’t want to get higher returns?
So many people below are vying to carry out this task, but what Zhao Zunmin and his team need to consider is the task requirements: only success is allowed and failure is not allowed.

This also means that the ace of aces must be sent out to ensure that the mission is foolproof.

Because of this, Zhao Zunmin and others became hesitant.

"How about sending Zhou Rongqiang's team?"

After a long time, Zhang Qingshan broke the silence and proposed the name of the team.

Zhou Rongqiang's team had been in Moscow for seven years and had long since made a name for themselves. In addition, in so many missions in the past, their team had not made any mistakes, and their mission completion rate and efficiency were unmatched. There was no problem in choosing their team.

"Lao Zhang, the target this time is the Moscow Space Agency. It's not an ordinary unit, it's a scientific research institution. The protection of the space agency itself is very strong. If we send Zhou Rongqiang and his men, I'm afraid they won't be able to do it."

Zhao Zunmin heard this and shook his head.

When Ma Shouchang heard this, he proposed another team.

But before Zhao Zunmin and Zhang Qingshan could say anything, there was a knock on the door outside the office.

Zhang Qingshan and the others looked at each other and their expressions became serious.

Because if it wasn't an emergency, no one would knock on the door at this time.

So Zhao Zunmin and the others exchanged opinions, nodded to each other, and then Zhao Zunmin said:

"Please come in!"

A staff member came in from outside. He looked at Zhao Zunmin and others with surprise and said:

"Dear leaders, we have just received news that an explosion occurred at the Space Agency, and a major accident of a rocket explosion also occurred at their launch center."

Upon hearing the news, Zhao Zunmin and others widened their eyes. Ma Shouchang and Zhang Qingshan even stood up in surprise.

Obviously stunned.

How is this possible?
"What's going on?" Zhao Zunmin asked in a deep voice.

Soon, accompanied by the voices of the staff, Zhang Qingshan and his colleagues finally learned more about the situation.

It turned out that all this was the work of Washington and Nikolayevich.

It is easy to understand why Washington wants to make trouble. After all, they also have a lot of talented people, and they have penetrated deeper into Moscow.

When it comes to carrying out missions in Moscow, Washington has more advantages, after all, they are more like the locals of Moscow.

If an Oriental person comes here, you can tell at a glance that he is a foreigner.

Foreigners are not that welcome in this part of Moscow.

As for why Nikolayevich would cause trouble, it was actually because of his own interests.

Simply put, Brezhnev's existence gave rise to a strange group in Moscow: the Moscow aristocracy.

These Moscow nobles can be said to be super leeches sucking blood from the entire Moscow. They only bring harm and no benefit to the entire Moscow.

It is precisely because of this Moscow aristocracy group that Nikolayevich's small group would want to cause sabotage, because they do not want to help other groups, and they are even more eager to get rid of this so-called Moscow aristocracy.

In a situation where the situation is dire, there is no doubt that the reforms proposed by Sergeyevich would be of no use.

Sergeyevich has been struggling since 1985, and more than five years have passed now.

Nothing works.

So Nikolayevich's approach was very simple, which was to withdraw and not carry so much burden, and start over simply, which would be better.

"Tell me in detail, how did they do it? Why didn't we get any news about it beforehand?"

Zhao Zunmin and others were surprised, but also scared.

Because whether it was Washington or Nikolayevich, their actions this time were unprecedentedly strict and swift.

After all, a few days ago, the Moscow Space Agency suddenly proposed a plan to overtake and land on the moon before Vostok.

It’s only been a few days?

Washington and Nikolayevich have completed the task. Their efficiency is incredibly high.

so horrible!

Incredible!
"Yes, leader, we just received the news as well."

Listening to the staff's words, the expressions of Zhao Zunmin and others became more and more solemn. After listening, Zhang Qingshan said that they would notify their superiors as soon as possible and let them make the decision.

In the capital, Chen Guohua was having dinner with his family at home when Song Xuyan and Wang Dingzuo came together and paid him a personal visit.

"A rare guest, come on, have a drink."

Chen Guohua was quite surprised and greeted them both warmly, but they said they were not in a hurry to drink and wanted to go to the study to talk about work first.

Seeing this, Chen Guohua had no choice but to get up and lead them to the study.

"What's going on? Why are you in such a hurry to come see me? Can't you just call me?"

As soon as he sat down, Chen Guohua asked curiously.

The calls in the mainland, especially Song Xuyan and his friends' cell phones, are extremely confidential and cannot be eavesdropped on.

So it is still safe to make a phone call.

There's no need to run to him if something can be explained clearly in just a sentence or two.

It seems to be a big deal.

As expected, Song Xuyan and Wang Dingzuo's words made Chen Guohua open his mouth in surprise:

"Are our allies so good? They actually helped us a lot."

Yes, Chen Guohua did not expect that Washington and Nikolayevich were so powerful and impatient, and they crushed the Moscow Space Agency before they could do anything in the mainland.

Based on this point alone, this friendly force is extremely good!

However, one thing Chen Guohua didn’t quite understand was why Nikolayevich wanted to set up the Moscow Space Agency.

From the history of the original time and space, the main reason why Nikolayevich wanted to bring down the Big Bear was his extreme dissatisfaction with the Moscow nobles, his utter disappointment with Moscow's development model, and his pursuit of personal power.

But none of these three reasons has much to do with the Moscow Space Agency.

Although the Space Agency can be said to be a form of arms race in the Moscow model, it represents Moscow's future technology after all. To a certain extent, even if Nikolayevich successfully takes over Moscow's legacy, the Space Agency will definitely not be shut down.

"Yes, when we received the news, we thought Xiao Zhao and his men had made a mistake. After repeated confirmation, we realized that our friendly forces had really taken action."

Song Xuyan and Wang Dingzuo were also very emotional, and their expressions were somewhat funny.

"It seems that our previous meeting to discuss this matter was completely unnecessary."

When Chen Guohua heard this, he shook his head and said:

"This is not unnecessary. Not to mention that this destruction may not be able to stop the Moscow Space Agency for a long time, even if there is no Moscow Space Agency, I think the previous meeting is still very necessary. At the very least, it allows many people in our company to have a general understanding of our own strength." (End of this chapter)
