"Do you think I'm joking with you?" Pishkov looked at Zhou Sen and said very seriously.
"General Pishkov, I am not one of your people. I am still lurking in Khabarovsk as a spy. How could you have such an idea?" Zhou Sen could not understand Pishkov's logic. "Cheka "Are you always so careless in everything you do?
Pishkov chuckled: "Don't think that I made this decision impulsively, but I made this decision after full consideration and analysis."
"Do you think I'm up to it?"
"When Anthony was sent to Ice City, he was about the same age as you. Didn't he also do it?"
"But I'm just Father Anthony's adopted son. I didn't join you, and I'm not one of your people. Why do you believe me?"
"Do you like Japanese people?"
"dislike."
"I don't like it either. They are like a group of rats hiding in a mouse hole. Only when the owner can't see it can they find an opportunity to come out and steal something. But once the owner finds out and can't tolerate it anymore, then it will There is only death," Pishkov said.
"I appreciate your metaphor very much, but does it have anything to do with you asking me to be the leader of the 'Leo' team?" Zhou Sen said,
"Of course it does matter." Pishkov said, "Do you want to spend your whole life on your knees and let a mouse ride on your head?"
"But just because of this, you trust me so much. This is too childish." Zhou Sen shook his head. He was not a three-year-old child, and he would not be easily moved or persuaded by a few words.
"Actually, you have entered our training sequence very early. We may know your experience in more detail than you do. However, something happened before your adoptive father had time to guide you to join us. And in the meantime Something went wrong again, and you were intercepted by the Japanese without knowing it. However, fortunately, you did not really surrender to the Japanese, so we must bring you back again." Pishkov said , "In fact, Anthony has been fully prepared for a long time. The 'Troy' plan is not actually the people he arranged to lurk, but the real target is you. Only if you sneak into the Far East from the Ice City, then we will have a chance to bring you back." "
"Then why didn't he tell me earlier?" Zhou Sen was stunned. There was a lot of information here.
"Based on what you did in the past, he can tell you, but maybe he feels that you have not met his requirements." Pishkov said, "In other words, he is actually protecting you and doesn't want to Putting you in danger, once his 'Trojan' roster is leaked, he may have no chance of living, he doesn't let you know, he is just trying to fight for your chance of survival."
"The Japanese don't know how to be reasonable."
"Yes, you are right. The Japanese cannot be unreasonable, but they are more greedy and want more. Therefore, once they know that you know nothing, they will try their best even if Anthony's identity is exposed. Methods to induce you and use you, because in recent years, they have been sending spies and lurkers to the Far East, but they are either captured by us or killed. They really need an intelligence network." Pishkov explained.
"Yes, they gave me special training and assigned me a capable lurking team. On the surface, they trust me very much and make everything up to me. In fact, they are just using me." Zhou Sen nodded. .
How can he not know the virtues of the Japanese? Once they lose their value, they will give it up. History has already proved this.
"Since you understand this, it will be very detrimental to you to continue to sink in." Pishkov said.
"I know, but I can't help myself. Besides, there are people around me. Even if I want to contact you, it will be difficult to find a chance. Moreover, even if I get in touch with you, will you definitely believe me?" Zhou Sendao said .
"Yes, your concerns are reasonable, but if you continue to work for them, you will definitely make deeper and more serious mistakes."
Zhou Sen was silent.
"I know that you have concerns, and the trust between us cannot be established with just one or two sentences." Pishkov said, "We still have a few months to get along, and you will understand by then."
"OK."
"You know the news about the Halaha River conflict, right?" Pishkov finally talked about the substantive issue.
Zhou Sen nodded.
"Based on your understanding, what is the purpose of this provocation by the Japanese?" Pishkov asked.
"General Pishkov, I'm just a nobody. How dare you talk about this? You think too highly of me." Zhou Sen said hurriedly. Of course he knew what the Japanese were planning, but could he tell me his identity? Don't scare the other person.
Hiding oneself is the safest.
"Tell me, since Saburo Shibuya sent you here, he must have trained you in intelligence analysis." Pishkov chuckled.
"Do you really want to say it?"
"uh-huh."
"I only know that they will repeat the defeat at Lake Hassan, maybe even worse." Zhou Sen said, this is a prediction or his expectation, it depends on how the other party understands it.
"Oh, how are you sure?"
"I know people's hearts are weak. The ant wants to conquer the elephant. If the elephant is careless, it may chew off a piece of meat. But once the elephant is in pain and kicks down, the ant will die miserably." Zhou Sen said.
"Your metaphor is very vivid." Pishkov nodded, "But Europe is currently in turmoil, and war may break out at any time. Our industrial base and population are in the west, and in the Far East, naturally we can't do it without fighting. fight to avoid the possibility of fighting on two fronts."
"I don't know much about international strategy. Are you talking to me about this?"
"Playing the harp to a cow?" Pishkov obviously didn't understand what Zhou Sen meant by this idiom, so he asked again.
"It means that when two people who are not on the same level talk, they cannot understand what the other person is saying." Zhou Sen explained.
"You can't understand this now, but you will understand it in the future." Pishkov chuckled, "From now on, Natasha will be responsible for contacting you, and I can also provide you with information in Khabarovsk." A hospital arranges a position, and you can sit there one day a week. After all, there are some problems that your small clinic cannot solve."
"General, my medical skills are actually..."
"I know that your medical skills did not come from an orthodox medical school, but it can cure diseases, it is really effective, and it has a good reputation, isn't it?"
"Is this too deliberate? I'm afraid it will arouse suspicion?" Zhou Sen asked.
"Since the opening of your clinic, the business volume of the Orthopedics Department of the First Hospital has declined. Our doctors have no patients to see. How can they improve their medical skills? Moreover, when you go to the First Hospital, you will have the opportunity to conduct medical consultations with doctors from the military hospital. Communication is impossible without this identity. This is not exactly in line with what you want now. Seeing your achievements in Khabarovsk, Saburo Shibuya will naturally trust and rely on you more," Pishkov said.
"But what the Japanese want is information. Even if I enter the No. 1 Hospital, it will be useless if I can't get the information they want."
"Your relationship with Natasha can be further developed, so that you can become Commissar Vladimir Kinov's personal family physician, and then you can have access to some secrets."
"The person who came to my clinic with Natasha to see her legs was the political commissar?"
"Well, he is the deputy political commissar of the military region, half a level higher than me." Pishkov said, "He doesn't know your exact identity, but we can let you know a lot of information through his name. .”
"You mean, you gave me the information and disclosed it to the Japanese army in the name of Deputy Political Commissar Vladimir Kirov?" Zhou Sen said, "Does he know about this deputy political commissar?"
"Don't worry, we won't do this kind of deliberate frame-up." Pishkov seemed to see that there was something in Zhou Sen's words.
"What about my relationship with Natasha?"
"This depends on you and the development of things, and what kind of relationship is suitable between you." Pishkov said.
"I think it's most appropriate to stop being friends." Zhou Sen said, some things are better to be made clear at the beginning.
"You think this kind of relationship is convenient for you to carry out your work, I have no objection." Pishkov chuckled and had no objection.
"There must be a reason for me to enter the First Hospital, and how do I calculate my identity? Which agency do I belong to, the Intelligence Department of the Far East Military Region or the Fifth Branch of the Border Guard Command?" Zhou Sen continued to ask.
"You are naturally affiliated with our Intelligence Department, but since you are Chinese, you may have some relationship with the Communist International, but your identity is top secret. From now on, your internal code name is: Leo." Bishko Husband said.
"Can the codename Leo be inherited? Then how can he represent myself?" Zhou Sen asked with a frown.
"What do you want?"
"You can call me Leo, but in my internal information, you must add a capital letter 'Z' after the codename I inherited. This will mean that this Leo is me, even if someone else uses it in the future. With this code name, I am also unique." Zhou Sen said.
Pishkov thought about it and nodded: "Yes, this request is not too much."
"Thank you, can I go?" Zhou Sen stood up and said goodbye.
"Of course, I don't mind if you want to have dinner with me." Pishkov shrugged his shoulders and said humorously.
"Not today." Zhou Sen is not in the mood to have dinner with Pishkov right now. He wants to think carefully about how to deal with it later. The amount of information he got today is a bit large and he has to go back and digest it carefully.
When he came out, Zhou Sen was not asked to cover his eyes again, but walked directly out of the building.
Before getting in the car, he looked back at the inconspicuous gray building, turned around and got into the car.
From Natasha's mouth, I learned that this is actually the location of the Special Police School, the cradle that trained many red agents.
It's a pity that he has no chance to study here.
