Chapter 61 Returning to China

"I'm sorry Karim, I can't take you back to the Soviet Union, and I can't keep you in Afghanistan. If you agree, I want to send you to the Democratic Germany!" Sergey, who finally regained his freedom, returned Where I live, I have to face the separation from Karim. Seryozha is not a ruthless person, but Karim has a special status. The Soviets have been looking for him all the time, and Afghanistan is not a good place to hide. This country has been in chaos until Xie Wenlong crossed. So the only place Seryozha could think of was to send Karim to his business partner William Peake.

Karim remained silent, her big eyes staring at her hands. After a while, a few tears fell on the table, and then there was the sound of sobbing. Seryozhal took Karim's hand and put it to his lips for a kiss. Karim suddenly raised his head and smiled at Seryozhal.

"Will you come to see me?" Karim's hands were just held by Seryozha. It was the first time for the two of them to be so close, and it was the first time for them to get along like a couple.

"I will go to see you. If I can't stay in the Soviet Union, you will be the first one I will go to." Seryozha promised with his hands on his chest. Then he held Karim in his arms, and the two sat quietly by the window, the sunset gently falling on their bodies.

. . .

Two days later, Seryozha, who settled down with Karim, finally embarked on a journey back home. At his request, Yuri and the others will return home with Sergey Sha. There were many people who came up to see him off at the airport, including the commander-in-chief of the Kabul theater, the Soviet ambassador, Semyon, the commander of the 103rd Airborne Division, Grachev, the commander of the 354th Airborne Regiment, Lebed in a wheelchair, and those who were killed with him. Prisoners and comrades-in-arms who get along day and night.

Sergey followed Vladimir and the people he brought with him all the time. The relationship between Sergey and them changed from escort to escort, and now they had to be responsible for Sergey's safety along the way. Seryozha shook hands with the officials who came to see him off one by one, and hugged each of his comrades in arms who had been with him day and night. When it was Lebed's turn, Seryozha leaned over and shook hands with Lebed who was sitting in a wheelchair. Lebed said in Seryozha's ear: "I'm so glad you can finally leave this damn place, the battlefield." It's really not suitable for you, I'm afraid you will be a rookie even if you work for another year!"

"I think so too!" said Seryozha, and both Lebed and he burst out laughing. After leaving Lebedserezha, Grachev stood in front of the last, and Grachev had already stretched out his hand and waited. Seryozha hesitated, but finally shook hands with Grachev.

"I'm so glad you came back alive!" Grachev said with a sincere face, anyway, Seryozha couldn't see his true thoughts.

"I didn't expect that I would be able to come back alive!" Seryozha said in his words. So far, everything about Grachev is just guesswork. Sergesha does not want to turn against Grachev without evidence. If you want to figure this out, you can only start with Chernenko.

"Actually, you should thank me, without me you wouldn't be such a man!" Grachev seemed to hear something, and he gave Seryosha a deep look.

"Thank you so much!" Seryozha let go of Grachev's hand, turned around and got on the plane without looking behind him. After all the accompanying people boarded the plane, the Soviet civil aviation passenger plane began to drive slowly towards the runway, then accelerated, glide, and rose into the blue sky.

On the plane, Vladimir had been sitting across from Seryozha, and Seryozha did not sit with his brothers. Because up to now, there is still one problem Seryosha has to figure out, and that is what arrangements the KGB will make for himself, Yuri and the others, as well as Petrov's father. At least Sergey would not feel at ease without a clear statement on this matter. From time to time, Seryozha looked at Vladimir who was flipping through the newspaper, hoping to find out from him if he had the opportunity.

"Is there anything you want to know? I can tell you as long as it doesn't violate the confidentiality principle!" Vladimir said across the newspaper.

"I want to know, what will happen to my past?" Seryozha asked straight to the point.

"Don't worry! All your negative files have been deleted, and now you are as pure as a saint!" Vladimir put down the newspaper and said sarcastically.

"Where are my friends? What will happen to them?" Seryozha continued.

"People related to you have been washed clean. As long as they don't commit crimes in the future, I think they can live a fair and honest life." Vladimir's words completely dispelled the doubts in Seryozha's heart. Make a phone call with Tonya and Petrov's father, but unfortunately this is not a special plane, there is no such service.

At the end of the long journey, when the plane landed at Moscow's Sheremetyevo International Airport, Serezha already had some hope of returning home. At this moment, he wished so much to return to Gorky as soon as possible. But after leaving the plane, Seryozha did not leave the airport directly. He was taken into a dressing room and changed into a brand new military uniform. Officials from the Ministry of Defense and the Ministry of Propaganda had been waiting here for a long time. They handed Sergei a manuscript and asked him to hold a small press conference at the airport. The scope of the question has been delineated in advance, and when the time comes, Seryozha only needs to read it according to the script.

After carefully dressing up, Seryozha came to an open place through the special passage of the airport, where there was a simple speech platform. The reporters in the audience have been waiting for a long time. Sergey Sha was followed by officials from several departments. The Ministry of Defense, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the KGB, and the Propaganda Department all sent representatives to greet him. Seryozha walked to the podium, and Vladimir and the officials stood behind him. Standing on the stage, before Sergey could speak, a flash of lights lit up under the stage, which made Sergey even more nervous, and he felt a little overwhelmed.

Tonya, who had just got off the plane, walked out of the airport with her suitcase. The crowd in front of her made him feel a little strange. A young man stood on the podium, and a flash of lights lit up. The light shone on the man's face, and Tonya couldn't believe her eyes.

"Seryozha!" Tonya inadvertently called out, but unfortunately there were too many people present, and Seryozha on the stage did not hear it. Tonya looked around. He dragged the suitcase to the flower bed closest to Seryozha, stood on it, and shouted loudly with all his might:

"Thank you ~ Liao ~ Sha!"

Seryozha turned his head, and he saw Tonya bouncing on the flower bed and waving at him. Seeing Seryozha looking this way, Tonya made more movements. Seryozha instinctively jumped down from the stage. At this moment, there was nothing else in his eyes, only Dongia standing not far away. He flipped over the fence nimbly, and then rushed towards Tonya, without even noticing that he had bumped into someone. Seryozha had just run to the flower-bed when Tonya jumped into Seryozha's arms. Both of them had happy smiles on their faces. The reporters present were also infected and raised their cameras to record this unforgettable moment.

"Can this work?" an official asked his colleagues in a low voice.

"That's actually better!" an official from the Propaganda Department replied.
