New World War II Eagle Strikes the Sky

( ) The last 24 B-25s to arrive broke the camel's back.Under their pressure, the "enemy" offensive completely collapsed.The paratroopers counterattacked and quickly regained their positions.The enemy army, which suffered heavy losses in this attack, could hardly launch a similar offensive again.The students successfully completed their graduation exams.

The graduation of this group of students also marks that the reorganization of the "Reverse Cross" has basically been completed.In a month or two at most, Ron should leave "Reverse Cross".But the more this time, the busier it is.The summary and reflection of this period of training process is extremely important, and it will help the development of future work.Therefore, after this group of students left, the "Reverse Cross" did not welcome the second group of students immediately, but spent a whole week to make a summary.

During this period of time, Ron received some letters from Nadya one after another.In these letters, Nadya described to Ron what she saw and heard in Los Angeles in her not-so-fluent English:

"It was evening when we arrived in Los Angeles, and the whole city was lit up, and there was a wonderful atmosphere of peace. Yes, a wonderful atmosphere of peace. Honey, you spent some time in Russia, you know, in the present In Russia, cities are sleeping in darkness at night. All electricity must be tilted towards those departments that directly help the war, and power outages have long been commonplace for residents. Even if there is electricity, in order to avoid exposing the target, every household The thick cotton curtains that were originally used in winter are drawn on the windows all year round.

darling, you know what?Many times, we finished an evening performance, and after the audience cleared up, we also left the theater together and walked back to our dormitory.The streets at that time were so dark that you could hardly see a trace of light.Only at the corner of the street lived an old nainai, um, she was thin and small, she looked like a witch in a fairy tale.But she's a kind soul, and she knows when we're going to pass her door, so she'll draw the curtains a little to let some light in for us.The war was so long, my dear, that I almost forgot what the city looked like in peacetime, until I came to America, and I remembered it again.It fills my heart with longing for Russia..."

And in another letter, Nadya wrote:

"Today the ballet left Los Angeles and returned home. Only Anna and I stayed. We went to the airport to see them off. I couldn't help but shed tears when I watched the plane take off. On the way back, I felt very lonely. Driving on the bustling street, there are bustling people everywhere, but I feel as if I have been left on a deserted wasteland. Anna probably felt the same way, so she held my arm tightly . . . Ron, I'm lonely, and I'm thinking, am I really fit to stay in America like this?"

……

"Today is the first time since the dance troupe left, I practiced with other American counterparts without Mrs. Ulanova. We rehearsed the second act of "The Nutcracker", which is Clara and the prince. The part in the Candy Kingdom. Next Saturday night, we will perform this part. To be honest, "The Nutcracker" is my best repertoire. I'm not boasting, and so is Mrs. Ulanova In other words, if I hadn’t stayed in the United States, the teacher would have recommended me to play Clara the next time our troupe rehearsed it. But today my performance was very bad. Without the teacher by my side, I feel I can't find the feeling I used to have at all, the rhythm and everything are all messed up.

However, the head of the band in the United States - people call him Old Pope, he is very tolerant. He comforted me and said that this is normal, because now I, the actors and the band who cooperate with me are very sympathetic to each other. unfamiliar.This situation is understandable, and even inevitable.He trusts that over time none of my problems will ever be a problem.But I am still worried, you know, not only because we Russians and Americans have a lot of different understandings of art, but also because my heart has never been calm, and I have never been able to put art in the same way as before. Full attention... I really envy Anna, the day her colleagues left, her whole face was covered with tears, but within two days, no, the next day when she woke up, she seemed to have nothing wrong with her.Recently, she received a bouquet of flowers every morning, which made her so proud that she forgot all her troubles..."

After seeing this paragraph, Ron immediately reflected on himself. Although he couldn't immediately go to Los Angeles to accompany her because of his busy schedule, wouldn't it be okay to find a florist and let them deliver a bouquet of flowers every day instead of him?Ron has also seen that Anna. Although she is also a beauty, Ron feels that there is still a gap between her and Najia in terms of temperament and charm.If you want to make an analogy, Ron thinks that Anna is like a beautiful golden peacock, and Nadya is an ugly duckling who has just passed through a terrible winter and doesn't know that she has become a white swan.Even Anna has someone to send a bouquet of flowers every day. Is there no problem with Nadya?Although Ron believes that many people in the troupe know about his relationship with Najia, it is definitely not uncommon in the United States that "although a famous flower has an owner, I will loosen the earth".Moreover, when a woman is in an unaccompanied state like this, it is also the easiest time to approach her.

Ron ordered a lot of roses from a florist in Los Angeles over the phone. They promised Ron that they would deliver a bouquet of fresh dewy roses to Nadya every morning. .In this way, Najia, who is in a bad mood, can be coaxed, and secondly, it can be regarded as a declaration of sovereignty by the way.Of course, in addition to this, he also found time to write her a reply letter, in which he tried his best to comfort her, enlighten her, and assured her that whenever he had time, he would immediately go to Los Angeles to spend time with her.Soon he received a letter from Nadya.

"I've received the flowers you had sent. It was beautiful, although it displeased Anna—she thought the ones she had received were too small. She hadn't Give Bill—well, the guy who brought her flowers every day a good look. But I'm even more happy to get your reply, which is really important to me now. Whenever I look at When I read your reply letter, I will think that there are still people who care about me here. My mental state is much better than before, really. Just like old Pope said, I am slowly adapting Come over. Now I have basically found the feeling of dancing, and I am more and more used to American classical music. In terms of expression of happiness, it is a bit more direct than what I was used to, so It's hotter too. Now, I feel confident about Saturday's performance..."

It can be seen that Nadya's mood has improved a lot, but Ron knows that simply replying to the letter cannot comfort the lonely Nadya.Recently, things are coming to an end, so Ron decided to rush to Los Angeles on Saturday.

……

Ron didn't know that in an office of the Strategic Intelligence Service, several people were gathering to analyze the communication between Ron and Nadya.

"If Nadya is a spy for the Soviets, what information can she get from the current letters?"

"She can roughly understand that the 'Reverse Cross' flying team is very busy now, and there are big moves. This is obvious, because General Rowan mentioned in the letter that he is now 'tired like a dog'. As a team that has long existed If the unit is not on the battlefield and is suddenly so busy, it can only be that there has been some change in the unit.”

"It's easy for the Soviets to know about this situation." Another person said, "'Reverse Cross' has communicated with the Russians, and the focus of this communication activity is ground attack. 'Reverse Cross' will be reorganized Strengthening ground training is absolutely no secret to the Russians. If there is any real secret that can arouse their interest in the 'Inverse Cross', it is probably its training program and various data obtained during the training. And these things, even if General Ron is in a daze, he won't talk about them in his letters."

"Soapy, how's that agent you put in?"

"Sir, he has successfully hooked up with that Russian woman named Anna. So he often has the opportunity to get in touch with Nadya. He confirmed that Nadya's mental state was indeed not very good a while ago. And based on his observation , he saw no sign of Nadya's training in espionage."

"That woman named Anna is okay?"

"Based on what we know about her, it is even less likely that she is a professional spy. Because she became famous earlier than Najia, and there are more relevant materials."

"Keep an eye on her and don't let up. . . . How's the tech monitoring of those two Russian women going?"

"Sir, the Prism team has installed a high-precision monitoring system and a hidden camera system in their room. They are working very well."

"What did you all hear?"

"It's just some whispers between women. Well, there is one thing that American women seldom mention. They will seriously discuss the art of dance. And it is very profound. Relevant experts believe that both of them She is quite accomplished, and Nadya's savvy is even better. This weekend, Nadya will be performing on stage, and General Ron will probably go to support her."

"Think of a way, prepare a small leather bag with a bugging device for General Ron."
