Chapter 206 Ivankov's Deployment
During this period of time, the lingering shadow in Seryozha's heart was the three generals of the border guards who knew him. Bayi Chinese? Wenwang (1) Since the Ministry of Internal Affairs exposed a major case and Churbanov was involved in it, they were naturally targeted. The new Minister of the Interior transferred these people back to Moscow and transferred them to some less important positions to wait. Although there is no evidence to convict them, they, like Churbanov, have to accept interviews from investigators from time to time.
The reason why the word "interview" is used instead of interrogation is that they have not yet been treated as criminal suspects. They kept their promises to each other and kept secrets. No matter how much the KGB threatened them, they would always grit their teeth and never let go. This made the KGB, who were eager to dig out the truth behind the scenes but unable to break through the silent alliance, began to use unconventional methods.
The KGB knows exactly what these people rely on, except for the special case of the relatives of the former general secretary like Churbanov. The children of these people have long since fled abroad, and the ill-gotten gains they have seized are naturally also abroad. The KGB has no way to go to the United States to collect evidence, and if the wind is wrong, the children of these people are likely to betray the Soviet Union like Stalin's daughter and apply for political asylum in the United States. If so, the KGB would never be able to recover the money, and they and their children would get away with it.
But now this road has been blocked by the KGB, and their children have been prosecuted in the United States for obtaining information on sensitive US military facilities. These so-called information on US sensitive military facilities are actually nothing at all. It's just a few photos of warships, but because these children hold Soviet passports, they are extra sensitive. The biggest possibility is that they will be deported. Because these few photos are actually not a big deal, and the U.S. government will not detain them, so deportation is almost the only option. The KGB is ready to welcome these sons and daughters back to the motherland, so that their parents can tell everything they know in exchange for the safety of their children.
Therefore, Seryozha faced two choices, either kill the three frontier generals according to Churbanov and Tsinev's intentions, or save their children abroad, and Seryozha is actually more inclined in the later plan. These children must be taken out from under the noses of the KGB and cIa.
Seryozha explained the matter to Ivankov, and at the same time told him the stakes. Not only must this matter be done, but it must not have anything to do with the Russians. It would be better for people of other ethnicities to carry out this plan, and the whole plan should be run like an ordinary kidnapping case.
Faced with such demanding requirements, the best candidates Ivankov could find were his fellow smugglers in the past—a criminal group from the Netherlands to do the job. This criminal group is involved in many fields, including theft, smuggling, flesh and blood trading, and drugs. And they are the biggest European buyers of Colombians. Although Ivankov is quite prestigious in Moscow's underground world, what he was originally engaged in was only helping these Dutch people sell home appliances and auto parts smuggled from Europe.
Although Ivankov's friends are from the Netherlands, they have a huge transportation network in Western Europe and the Caribbean, because the Netherlands owns the Netherlands Antilles in the Caribbean, and these islands are close to Colombia. It is an ideal place for commodity trading, so the Dutch can trade with the Colombians very conveniently here. So at Ivankov's request, the Dutch quickly found a suitable candidate for Ivankov-a group of mercenaries from Aruba. These mercenaries used to serve in the French Foreign Legion, and now they are working for the Dutch. Their abilities definitely meet Ivankov's requirements.
In order to ensure the safety of this mission, Ivankov will not meet these people, as long as the agreed reward is paid after the mission is completed. Ivankov chose to believe the words of the Dutch. He asked the business partner of the Gorky Brotherhood, the Medellin Group, to help these people smuggle into the United States, so that they would not leave any entry and exit records at the immigration bureau. , and then the Medellin Group will send these people out of the United States. All communications and deployments were made by telephone. After the two parties agreed, Ivankov would pay the group of mercenaries a million dollars.
The Medellin Group readily agreed to Ivankov's request, and they first brought these people to Mexico with a small plane. Immediately afterwards, Racha's men used tunnels to send these people into the United States. Then fly to New York on a Colombian plane to wait for further instructions. When these mercenaries from Aruba finally arrived at their destination, they learned their target of action. Kidnapped several Soviet exchange students attending Ohio State University.
All the information has long been placed in the drawer of the hotel where they lived. There are five targets who need to be kidnapped. They are three men and two women. Each of them has photos and detailed information. The mercenaries learned from the information that these people were involved in a spy case, and they are currently under the surveillance of the police and cIa. The whole operation is difficult and dangerous. The employer's only request was to keep the five out of cIa's sight and keep them safe.
It is also mentioned in the information that the five people will be sent to the Ohio court for trial a week later, which is the only chance for this operation. Ivankov will not contact these mercenaries again until the entire operation is over. Doing so can avoid being discovered by cIa to the greatest extent. While these mercenaries were still making plans, Ivankov had already left for Cleveland ahead of schedule. He will wait here for the news of these mercenaries, whether it is good or bad, he must report it to Sergesha as quickly as possible. Only in this way can Seryozha be able to determine whether the Romanian killers stranded in Moscow intend to assassinate their targets.
When Ivankov came to Cleveland, the espionage case had already been heated up by the media, and many people were concerned about the case. Ivankov bought two local newspapers at random, and they all talked about this matter. Ivankov stayed in a hotel not far from the court, and he was waiting for the final result of the espionage case.
