Chapter 67: A Blessed Opportunity
"I once wanted to reason with you, but you don't know how to flatter..." Akilov sat on a chair in the interrogation room, still arrogant.
Seryosha and Churbanov stood outside the interrogation room, looking inside through the one-way glass. Both of them knew in their hearts that the interrogation was just a formality, and that since Akilov had been arrested, it was up to Seryozha whether he was round or flat.
"What are you going to do next?" Churbanov looked at Seryozha and asked.
"What to do, what to do! This guy has committed a lot of crimes, we just need to hand it over to the higher authorities! We have picked out a lot of good things from his house, and those who are interested can keep them for themselves!" Seryozha and Culbano The husband looked at each other, then laughed heartily.
Akilov's family property is really not covered, there are hundreds of pieces of pure gold tableware alone. Countless gold bracelets, gold watches, and gold necklaces were found. There are hundreds of millions of rubles in cash, and the three staff members have not finished counting them all day. In addition, there are millions of dollars in foreign exchange, various high-end imported household appliances, imported furniture, and so on. It will take a lot of time just to finish the statistics. In addition, the investigation team sent dozens of peacocks and a dozen lions to the Tashkent Zoo.
Regarding these stolen goods, Seriosha did not prevent Churbanov from reaching out to them. But he suggested that Churbanov must try his best to transfer the money he possessed abroad. When Churbanov asked Seryozha if there was a corresponding solution, Seryozha immediately took over the work, and he wanted to launder the money for Churbanov.

A few days later, in the office building of the party committee of the Uzbek Republic, Rashidov's office was full of people. Everyone just sat there in silence and smoked. The room was filled with smoke and the atmosphere was very depressing.
"Why don't you talk, are you all dumb?" Rashidov said dissatisfiedly to the people in the room.
"Secretary! This Churbanov seems to be playing for real. He even called the army. I heard that many people died in Akirov's estate. They won't deal with us like this!" said an official worriedly.
Everyone chattered and started discussing again, and the room was suddenly in chaos. This upset Rashidov even more. At this moment, Umarov, who had been silent all this time, raised his hand to express his desire to speak. Everyone became quiet immediately, and they all wanted to hear what the director of the party committee office had to say.
Seeing everyone walking and watching him, Umarov put down his hands and began to speak. He said, "I don't know if you have noticed, since that day Churbanov asked me to bring back the money we gave him. After that, they never troubled us again. Don’t you think it’s strange?”
As soon as Umarov said this, everyone fell into deep thought. It seems that, as Umarov said, the people in the investigation team did not hold on to this matter. Is this some kind of hint?
"I found an interesting thing, they didn't take action against us, didn't they? And Akilov is notoriously arrogant and won't deal with you with the secretary! Churbanov cleans up this guy for us, don't we Shouldn't you be happy?" Umarov finished speaking, turning his gaze to Rashidov.
"What should we do? Continue to contact them?" Rashidov asked curiously.
"I think so!" Umarov replied.
. . .
Just when both sides were at a stalemate, an unexpected event happened according to the established track of history. On the night of October 27, 1981, a secret ship code-named U137 sneaked into the Swedish waters near the Karlskrona Naval Base to closely observe the actual combat effect of the Swedish Navy's new anti-ship torpedo ffvtp42.
Although u137 is an old-fashioned submarine built in the 1950s, it still has a place in the Red Navy. The captain, Gu Shen, was even bolder. In order to obtain first-hand information, Gu Shen ordered u137 to bypass the hidden reef and drive straight into the waters around the small island 15 kilometers away from the Karlskrona naval base.
However, when u137 really came here, it was too late to regret it. The sea area here has complex topography, shallow water and many reefs, so it is definitely not a good place to come. What's more terrible is that due to fear of being discovered by the Swedish navy, the helmsman on the submarine made a mistake in his busy schedule, and an inadvertent operation made a mistake, which really drove the submarine to the hidden reef mountain.
Gushen broke out in a cold sweat immediately, and after trying several times but unable to get out of trouble by himself, the captain Gushen had no choice but to inform Moscow of the situation here. An hour later, the first and second in command of the Soviet security and intelligence departments all knew about the incident, including Chur, who was the first deputy minister of the interior and indirectly controlled the 250,000 border guards. Barnov.
However, when Churbanov received the telegram, he did not feel any anxiety, but was full of joy and excitement. He still remembered what Seryozha had said to him, that the Soviet Union's every move clearly touched the sensitive and fragile nerves of the European financial market. Churbanov immediately woke up Seryozha. When Seryozha heard the news, he felt the same as Churbanov. This was a godsend.
"Are all my foreign exchanges settled?" Churbanov asked impatiently.
"Fortunately, everything was done yesterday, and you will not miss this rare opportunity!" Seryozha assured, patting his chest. He pulled out his satellite phone and started contacting Eva and Karim. On the phone, they anxiously urged the two: "Listen, go to the bank immediately, mortgage everything that can be mortgaged, and strive to maximize the use of funds. I am going to make a big deal, don't say anything, don't ask anything .do it now!"
"You always tell us what we need so much money for!" Eva and Karim asked in confusion.
"Listen, I want to short the Swedish krona! Hurry up, before it's too late!" Seryozha urged anxiously. Churbanov, who was standing aside, also stood aside nervously. Seryozha had just finished contacting the two lovers, so he connected Mikhail's phone directly, and then said in the same anxious tone: "Mikhail, don't ask anything, do as I say! Call us All the foreign cash is negotiating with the Swiss bank for an emergency credit line of the maximum limit, and it will be ready within an hour, go!"
Serezha kept making phone calls one after another for a whole night. Even the 100 million U.S. dollars Terkina received from the mafia was withheld by Serezha. Within hours, huge sums of money were remitted to Eva and Karim through Swiss bank channels. (To be continued.)
