Steel Soviet Union

Tuk-tuk-tuk——

Knocking on the door in the middle of the night sounds more harsh than usual during the day, especially when the room is so quiet that you can hear a pin drop.

Fortunately, Malashenko was not in a state of concentration and nervousness at this time, so he would not be frightened by the sudden and unexpected knock on the door.

Malashenko slowly put down the book in his hand and then stood up and walked towards the door. This was Malashenko's next reaction.

"Are you asleep like this?"

"Not yet, I think I will be ready to go to bed in a while, and I am reading a book. I happened to find a few books written by that guy Paulus from the library of this club. Most of them are professional books on the Staff Department. I am curious about this guy. Take a look by the way and get ready to sleep when you feel sleepy. Is something wrong with you? "

What happened during the day gave Malashenko a new interest in Paulus that he had not had since the guy was captured alive in Stalingrad until today. Malashenko wanted to try to learn more from the book. He might find something different by reading the works written by Paulus, an old man.

"Well, it's nothing. Ah, no, I should say there is a good thing. I was jealous of you, so I blocked you."

"Good thing? And you blocked it back???"

Looking at the "silver smile" in front of him, Lavrinenko looked quite malicious. Malashenko, who knew immediately that this guy must have bad intentions, pretended to be displeased.

"You have something to say and something to say! She's mysterious, just like a gossiping girl from the village!"

"Okay, okay, then I told you, just don't hit me."

As he spoke, he reached out his hand and took out a mysterious object from behind. He shook it casually and handed it to Malashenko's hand.

"Notice came from above. Those American journalists applied for an extension of stay. It seems they want to stay until the Battle of Berlin is over and don't want to miss this final moment."

"We don't know what happened in the process. Anyway, the result is that the higher-ups agreed. The written document from the Group Army Headquarters has just arrived. Attached is the document from the Front Army Headquarters. There are two copies. They say the same thing and want us to continue. The security mission is postponed, take a look.”

""

While opening the file bag in his hand and listening to Lavrinenko's brief report on the situation, Malashenko, who really didn't expect it to be like this, then felt that something was not quite right. ?

"I said, this is not right."

"What you just told me, you blocked a good thing from me. You didn't block the job of being a nanny for the Yankees from me. Secondly, it's not a damn good thing. Don't you think so? Something's wrong?"

Malashenko, who flipped through the documents of the Group Army Headquarters and the Front Army Headquarters in his hand, read them continuously, and did not forget to express the doubts in his mind while reading at a glance, but the performance of Lavrinenko, who was so close in front of him, But he wanted to laugh even more.

"Because the American lady named Jill wanted to chat with you and said she had some homework for you to check. I said it was too late today and would wait until another day. Comrade the teacher had already rested, so I would convey the message to her, so I stopped her. gone back."

"Look, I kicked away the beautiful young ladies who were sleeping with you. Do you think this ruined your good deeds? I think so."

""

He watched Lavrinenko take out the object from his satchel again and handed it to him.

Malashenko, who had handled this thing for several days in a row, could certainly tell that it was the small notebook that Gill carried with him during the interview. There are all her handwritten reports and interviews on it. According to the regulations, they will be handed over to me for personal review and review. This is to prevent leaks of secrets. This little girl is obedient and obeys her instructions truthfully.

However, this has nothing to do with Malashenko's current desire to slap Lavrinenko in the face.

"Okay, the joke ends here, but I do have some real good news to tell you. Originally, the American girl came over to tell you personally, but now I will convey it to you. In addition, she is afraid that If you bother to go back on your own initiative, don’t really think it’s me who’s blocking your way, I’m just kidding you.”

""

Malashenko, whose mood was on a roller coaster, looked "extremely" unhappy, but his desire to slap Lavrinenko twice did not diminish much. He couldn't be simpler and blurted out an answer without any nonsense. .

"speak."

"Fine."

"Well, that's the leader of the American press corps, the second-rate gangster Jefferson. That guy is so stupid."

"I don't know the details. What Jill said and what I relayed to you, please listen carefully."

"She said that the newspaper headquarters sent a message that he was dismissed from his post on the spot and asked to return to the United States immediately to report. Who is the acting head of the press team? Who is her female assistant called? Oh, yes. That Mary takes charge.”

"I guess you want to ask why and what exactly happened, so I asked you by the way."

"The American girl said that the special report you did was effective. This Jefferson's father had offended a political enemy before. Now that his father has gone down, he has become more powerful, and he has become some kind of bullshit senator. And he is still a He is petty and always wants to find an opportunity to mess with the Jefferson family. "

"It's just right. When your special report came out this time, you immediately made a big mistake. I heard that the Pulitzer Prize that Jefferson had already won was because of his father's operation to find someone to help his precious son. The birthday gift was given by an unknown person and now the whole United States knows about it.”

"There are a lot of people who have their butts burned because of this matter. Then the American girl said that the entire American press has been blown up in the past two days. The Pulitzer Prize was actually faked! Glasses were shattered on the ground."

"Because the commotion is so big, involving a lot of bribery and fraud, I heard that even some bureaus in the United States, yes! The FBI is involved, and now they want to investigate this Jefferson, and ask him to go back and surrender. "

"What about Jefferson? Will he really go back and turn himself in, ready to face the rest of his life in prison?"

Because the amount of information received in a short period of time was too large, it was too late to ask questions one by one, and it was probably in vain. Malashenko simply focused on the key points and asked what state Jefferson was in now.

"Of course he doesn't want to go back, but he can't help it."

"People from the U.S. Embassy in Moscow came directly, and they also used diplomatic channels to second people from our Ministry of Internal Affairs to ask for assistance. You know, I said it was assistance, but I was afraid that people would run away or resist and cause trouble."

"Anyway, I didn't see any scene at that time. It is said that Comrade Political Commissar received and handled it. Comrades from the Ministry of Internal Affairs also produced a written order to assist and cooperate. You can ask Comrade Political Commissar for details when the time comes. It will be tonight. I guess he I plan to tell you tomorrow because I don’t want to disturb your rest.”

"In short, Jefferson was captured without any fuss. He came out without making any fuss. He obediently followed the people sent by the U.S. Embassy and got on the plane and left. Now it's all over."
