Chapter 204 Silent Alliance
Once the news that Turkey intercepted the Soviet smuggling gang was reported, it immediately attracted the attention of Turkish and foreign media. The Soviet Union has been in an aggressive posture over the years, and its every move can attract the attention of the whole world. This smuggling case involved the Black Sea Fleet and big figures in Moscow, so it naturally aroused people's attention even more.
This news is also flowing into the Soviet Union through various channels. The overseas branches of the Soviet Union's diplomatic system and intelligence system were the first to respond, and behind them are leaders from different factions within the CPSU. From the description of owning a private plane, we can know that this big man should be a high-level member of the Politburo. Combined with the description of collusion with the Black Sea Fleet, the result is naturally ready to come out. The biggest suspect is Grishin, Secretary of the Moscow Municipal Party Committee, who has just stumbled in the ocean case.
The maritime case a few months ago made Grishin feel ashamed. The Black Sea Fleet alone had a large number of high-ranking military officers, plus the officials involved in the local area. It is no exaggeration to say that this is simply A big change in the officialdom.
And amidst this new turmoil, the Leningrad branch no longer had the guts to continue the investigation. The investigation team that had just arrived in Rostov immediately received an order to stop the investigation and return to Leningrad. What they didn't know was that the branch had already decided where these people would go. They would be sent to the KGB training school to receive new courses, and they would not be assigned any jobs for the time being until the incident passed.
Boris's people have been keeping an eye on the members of the investigation team who were stranded in Gorky City. When the people sent to monitor reported to Boris that these people had left Gorky and returned to Leningrad, Boris was very happy to personally share the good news. Tell Seryozha. Seryozha also heaved a sigh of relief, and things finally turned around.
The dozen or so fraternity members who remained in Turkey were quickly brought to court by the police and faced more than a year in prison for carrying weapons illegally. The lawyers of these ten people quickly applied for political asylum in third countries other than Turkey and the Soviet Union, on the grounds that they would be severely punished if they returned to the Soviet Union. Although they are prisoners of the Turkish government and have participated in smuggling activities, they still have the sympathy of many countries. In the end, the Italian government agreed to their request for political asylum, and they will go to Italy to start a new life after serving their sentences in Turkey.
Yakov was still ordered to stay in Italy to handle the casino business and open up new businesses for the Turkish Mafia. Although Gorky's investigation team was eliminated, the situation in Moscow is still not good. The turmoil in the Ministry of the Interior continued to ferment, and many of Churbanov's close allies were involved. Churbanov could no longer even restrain those border guard generals who were loyal to him, because the KGB used more effective way of threatening them and their families.
According to the news disclosed by Tsinev, Churbanov's ally in the KGB and the old subordinate of President Bo. Something had gone wrong within the Churbanov interest group, which had once been a headache for KGB investigators. The KGB made the children of these generals in the United States into Soviet spies in the eyes of the cia by means of framing.
The agents have been controlled by the US counterintelligence agency, and the KGB's trick of using the enemy to deal with the enemy is really very clever.
What happened is actually very simple. The children of these border guard generals stay in the "enemy" country as exchange students all the year round. Although they are students, they shoulder the important task of transferring assets for the family, and they have been living a life of spending money abroad. Those generals who stayed in the country "serving the people" continued to use their public power to seek ill-gotten gains. Now the KGB is going to deal with them, but they have formed an alliance long ago, and they don't say a word about their own affairs. So the KGB stuffed some secretly photographed photos of certain sensitive military installations in the United States into their schoolbags, and then sent them to their enemies. In this way, these boys and buddies turned from students to Soviet spies .
These children are now facing two endings in the United States. One is to plead guilty and be sent to a prison in the United States, or the other is to be deported as someone who is not welcome, and will never be able to set foot on the territory of the United States. Both options are a dead end, maybe it would be better to go to jail in the United States. This poisonous trick of the KGB completely destroyed the silent alliance that Churbanov finally formed.
Tsinev indirectly conveyed Churbanov's situation to Sergesha, and also hinted that Sergesha would use extraordinary means to get rid of these people if necessary. Seryozha agreed with a heavy heart.
Seryozha first arranged for Ivankov in Atlantic City to investigate the matter and see what the conditions of those children were in the United States. As long as these children do not return to the Soviet Union for a day, both Churbanov and Seryozha are safe. Even if they were put in an American prison, it would be much better for Seryozha than going back to the Soviet Union.
So Seryozha started his own two-handed preparation. On the one hand, the Romanian killer group stranded in the Soviet Union continued to monitor the movements of the three border generals, and on the other hand, they needed to rescue the children of these generals from under the nose of the CIA. come out.
Ivankov accepted the task. He knew that this kind of thing could not be done by Russian-Americans or the smuggled Soviets under his command. Because this will cause more trouble, the best way is to find people of other ethnicities who have nothing to do with it.
Seryozha did not ask Ivankov to rescue these children, because he knew it would not be an easy task. In fact, Seryozha is very clear about what Churbanov means, that is, to directly eliminate these informed generals and relieve their worries once and for all. But Seryozha still didn't want to and didn't want to do it unless it was absolutely necessary.
Since the Romanians Sergey has on hand are very capable, he has put aside the two things of saving children and killing his accomplices. As long as the matter has not reached the point of last resort, Seryozha intends to continue to delay. In addition to these unscrupulous things, Seryozha actually has one more important thing to do, and that is his studies at Leningrad University. Because Serezha transferred from Moscow State University, although he changed his major, he still has enough credits in the past few years, and now there is still the last hurdle left. He must complete his graduation thesis before he can graduate smoothly .
