"Oh, I'm just responsible for greeting guests and part of the security at this social dance. I'm not an important person..."
"Anna said that there are many beauties at the ball tonight, and the wives of consuls from various countries are also present. You have to be careful not to be taken aback by others." Bai Yulan gave Zhou Sen instructions while adjusting her coat.
"Okay, look at what I'm wearing. I'm wearing a small vest and a bow on my collar. I look like a waiter. How could anyone take notice of me?" Zhou Sen said, "Besides, I'm a married man. Well, I have a beautiful and rich wife at home, why do I want to hook up with those shabby women outside?"
"Am I really beautiful?"
"Beautiful." Zhou Sen gently touched Bai Yulan's two attractive red lips, and then said, "I have to go, I don't have enough time."
"Then be careful when you come back at night and ask Wu En to drive slower. It's cold and the roads are slippery..."
"knew."
Pregnant women do have some emotional fluctuations and are very sensitive. Bai Yulan would never be such a petty woman before.
But the little woman was quite nice and gave Zhou Sen enough psychological satisfaction.
…
Station Street, Yamato Hotel.
It was newly decorated tonight, the lights were bright, and the nearby streets had already been jointly controlled by the police and gendarmerie.
Especially on the main road, at a distance, in addition to uniformed police officers, there were many secret agents in plainclothes.
This is an inevitable set of procedures for security at major events.
This time, those who came to participate in the event were consuls from various countries in Bingcheng, officials from Bingcheng City Government and Binjiang Provincial Government, and some dignitaries who were specially invited to participate in the party.
Such activities are naturally intended to highlight the superiority of Manchukuo and Japan's governance in Ice City, as well as to demonstrate their own strength.
This is also a large-scale social event. People who rarely see each other or can't make an appointment can take this opportunity to meet each other at the dance.
Therefore, many people are eager to come, but it is impossible without an invitation, and a list of attendees needs to be provided in advance.
Anyone not on the list will be denied entry.
If security issues arise in this kind of foreign-related activities, it will plummet the international image of Manchukuo and the Empire of Japan.
This is never allowed.
Zhou Sen's car was only allowed to pass with a special pass attached.
As his driver and subordinate, Unn was also assigned work at night. Otherwise, if he was left alone in the car, he would be misunderstood, and he would be too cold to bear.
Zhou Sen and Anna were assigned to the welcome group, together with the other two groups, also a man and a woman, a total of six people, responsible for verifying invitations and identities.
Zhou Sen and Anna entered the entrance hall of Yamato Hotel at five o'clock.
Consulates and diplomats from various countries will not arrive very early, usually no more than a quarter of an hour before the time stated on the invitation.
All personnel from the Foreign Affairs Department of the National Police Agency are on duty tonight, except those who are on sick leave.
Zhou Sen and Anna are responsible for the diplomats of European and American countries, one group is responsible for Asia, and the other group is ready to help.
Ensure that every guest who comes through the door is greeted.
This is a very tedious and repetitive job, because the same welcome words and explanations need to be said many times, and they need to be said in different languages. It can be English, Polish, Japanese, and of course Chinese.
As soon as the Vice Consul and his wife from the Hungarian Consulate were sent in, they were greeted by Walensky, the Counselor of the Polish Consulate, and his secretary, Miss Yellen.
Seeing Walensky, Anna subconsciously hid behind Zhou Sen. She really didn't want to see this Walensky.
"Miss Anna, I'm so happy. It turns out that you refused to be my dance partner because you have to do the job of welcoming guests!" Walensky, obviously with a sense of surprise, left Yellen behind and said to him. Anna walked over.
"Mr. Walensky, welcome to the New Year's Ball. You go along the entire corridor, and someone will take you into the banquet hall..." Anna smiled politely without losing embarrassment.
"Miss Anna, you will be here soon. Can I ask you to dance?"
"Mr. Walensky, please come in quickly." Zhou Sen hurriedly stepped forward to help Anna. This Walensky sperm has gone to his head. Under such circumstances, he continued to pester, so he was not afraid of being laughed at. ?
Walensky, who is also a professional diplomat, immediately regained his composure, nodded, motioned for Yellen to come up, and the two of them walked over together.
But when he was halfway there, he couldn't help but look back at Anna.
Zhou Sen frowned slightly. It would be difficult for this guy to really get involved with Anna. If he and Anna were in love, that would be fine. Even now, Anna didn't like him at all.
"Thank you." Anna came up and whispered gratefully.
"That's right, we are partners." Zhou Sen nodded slightly and hurriedly walked towards the door, and someone else came.
The consul of the German consulate came with a group of people, and the formation was quite large. Among them was an officer wearing a German uniform. Judging from the military rank, he should be a major. He was very young, quite tall, with a high nose and a very handsome appearance.
As soon as it appeared, Anna couldn't move her eyes.
"Anna, what are you doing? You can't pull out your eyeballs?" Zhou Sen reminded hurriedly.
"oh……"
"Zhou Sen, what's the name of that German major? Do you have any information?" Anna blushed and asked in a low voice after welcoming this group of people.
"I don't know." Zhou Sen actually knew that a German major was called Joseph. Of course, this was definitely not his full name. He was from the German Army. But he didn't know what he did specifically. Germany's intelligence collection on Soviet Russia was also unclear. I am very concerned. It is normal to send a military attaché to the consulate in Ice City. Germany and Japan are Axis powers, so intelligence cooperation and exchange should be very close.
"Can you help me?"
"No, the military attache in the consulate is usually the person in charge of the intelligence agency stationed in the host country. If you have such an idea, you are asking for trouble." Zhou Sen warned.
"I'm just talking, maybe I can meet someone better..." Anna let out a frustrated sound.
"Don't be a fool, people from the Soviet Russian Consulate are here!" Zhou Sen's face froze, and he could already see the Soviet flag on the front of the car listening at the door. It was obvious that someone from the Soviet Russian Consulate was here.
Salman and Poporov, these two he knew, had met in real life, and some were unfamiliar to him. There were more than a dozen people in the group, and Natasha was among a group of young Soviet women. , she now goes by the pseudonym Cynthia.
According to the plan, the Soviet Consulate was received by the Asia team, and Zhou Sen and Anna were not required to go up.
But just when Natasha walked into the lobby of Yamato Hotel, her eyes met with Zhou Sen's in the air.
Both of them were shocked and subconsciously avoided it. Zhou Sen quickly regained his composure, while Natasha lowered her head slightly.
This reaction was already discussed between Zhou Sen and her, because Zhou Sen didn't know if Yamamoto Satoshi would be observing Natasha's reaction at the moment when they met Zhou Sen and recognized each other in a corner.
It would be too fake to pretend not to know each other at all. It would be more real only if they recognized each other at once and both of them made an evasive movement.
Zhou Sen's plan is based on caution and details. One wrong step may make him and Natasha doomed.
Yamamoto Toshi can serve as the director of Ice Agent, so he must not be treated as an ordinary agent.
This guy has been monitoring him from the beginning, and he has secretly screened him. Therefore, Zhou Sen has always been very wary of Yamamoto Satoshi, like an inner demon. If he doesn't get rid of this guy, he will The inner sense of security is not guaranteed.
"Zhou Sen, Natasha saw you. She must have recognized you. Are you surprised?" Anna pushed Zhou Sen with her elbow.
"I don't know, but judging from her reaction, she must be very surprised." Zhou Sen nodded.
"How can you meet her privately later?" Anna asked.
"You have to help me. You are a woman. No one will notice if you approach her." Zhou Sen said, "I booked a room at No. 305 of the Yamato Hotel."
"Are you really planning to have a private meeting with her?" Anna said in surprise.
"You just need to give her the key and don't say anything. She will naturally understand that it is me." Zhou Sen said, "After more than half a year in Khabarovsk, there is still a tacit understanding."
"Have you planned to use me for a long time?" Anna asked.
"I'm the only partner like you. If I don't ask you for help, who else can I ask for help?" Zhou Sen asked back.
"Okay, will you show up at the dance soon?"
"No, once I show up, the people in the Soviet consulate will be wary. Maybe most of them don't know Natasha's relationship with me, but people in Soviet Russia dare to work to send her here. There must be something explained to the people here, so don't take this risk, otherwise it will cause trouble for Natasha and it will be difficult for us to meet again. Maybe the Soviet Russian Consulate will arrange for her to return to the country. That way It means all the previous efforts have been wasted." Zhou Sen explained.
"But how can she meet you alone?" Anna asked.
"What's wrong with a woman going to the bathroom to touch up her makeup? Moreover, it can take a long time to touch up makeup. Moreover, I need you to help me keep an eye on the women's toilet next to the banquet hall. If anyone comes looking for her, you need to help me. Hold on, do you understand?"
"You really think highly of me." Anna cooed.
"But you have to be careful about that Walensky. I'm worried that this guy will do something bad." Zhou Sen said, "This is the only possible accident, so we have to ask someone to help."
"Yellen." Zhou Sen and Anna said in unison.
"You have to tell Yellen about this and make it clear that you don't want to have anything to do with Walensky, so that she can help you..."
"But I think it would be better for you to tell her, so that she will mistakenly think that you are looking for her for me, and everyone can get what they need." Anna chuckled.
Zhou Sen rolled his eyes.
"If you go to Yellen, then Walensky at least won't care much about it. If I go, it will be difficult to escape from Walensky." Anna gave another reason.
"Okay, I'll go."
