Chapter 57 Arrival in Moscow

It was not until later, when Andrei learned about Ekaterina's identity, that he realized the real reason. This agent was not here to protect Andrei, but to protect Ekaterina! Of course, after learning about this, Andrei automatically ignored it. After all, he was a famous person in the Soviet Union, a great hero.

Andre was a pilot, a hero who could command the world with his fighter planes, but he was not proficient in all kinds of martial arts. He was not a spy, nor a soldier. He had done his best in the attack just now. If he could flexibly pull out a fruit knife, throw it over, and kill the female killer, that would only be a plot in a novel.

After enduring the attack, Andrei and Ekaterina did not continue to take the train. After getting off at Tenda, a Mi-8 helicopter of the National Air Defense Force took them to an air force base, where they boarded an An-12 transport plane and flew directly to Moscow.

The An-12 is a medium-sized transport aircraft powered by four turboprop engines. China copied this transport aircraft and formed the Yun-8 series of aircraft which are very important in China. This transport aircraft has poor sound insulation performance, and sitting in the rear cargo hold is simply a torture.

"I still prefer taking the train." Andre said, "The American has already failed. He won't do it again, right?"

"Andrei, we need to be careful about everything. If the Americans bury bombs on the railroad tracks, we will be defenseless, right?" said Gromov, who had been following the two and protecting them.

What the KGB man said made sense, but Andrei really didn't believe that the Americans would go to great lengths to make things difficult for him. You know, in a country like the Soviet Union, it was very difficult for the Americans to infiltrate an agent. It would be a waste if he was exposed just to assassinate Andrei.

"Andrei, how did you find out that woman was a killer?" Ekaterina, who was still leaning on Andrei, always sticking to Andrei and not caring at all about Gromov being a light bulb, said.

"It's my intuition." Andre said, "Also, just looking at her figure and posture, she seems to be very similar to Annie."

That Anne is an American agent. If it weren't for their different appearances, Andre would almost think they were the same person.

"I think it's possible," Gromov said. "We may have missed something when we were investigating. The dead person looked very similar to Anne, and her clothes were similar, but we can't be completely sure that it was that woman."

Thinking of what happened at the beginning, Andrei's words gradually became colder: "Mr. Gromov, do you know the man named Shelov?"

He almost convicted himself of treason, but now he has become a Soviet hero! The contrast between the two is too great. Andrei is now certain that it must be that guy who is behind this guy. Maybe there is someone more senior behind this guy.

"I'm sorry, I don't know." Gromov said, "You should know that we have work discipline. Even the name Gromov is not my real name."

"Okay." Andrei knew that what the other party said was true. Would he meet this guy when he went to Moscow this time? His status was different. At this time, he was already the deputy commander of the flight regiment, with the rank of lieutenant colonel and the title of Hero of the Soviet Union. If anyone wanted to throw dirty water on him again, he had to see if he was worthy of it!

Yekaterina on the side didn't say anything, just bit her lip with her teeth. Yekaterina knew Shelov, and she even guessed why he came to cause trouble for Andrei.

The cabin was quiet again, with only the roar of the engine outside and the rumble of the propeller stirring the air. Andre could see the enemy in front of him and fight bravely, but he was most afraid of the enemy behind him.

When the transport plane landed at a small military airport near Moscow, it was already eight o'clock in the evening, and the stars were shining overhead.

"Andrei, you don't have any relatives in Moscow. Why don't you come with me to my house?" Ekaterina didn't look at Andrei, but just lowered her head, rubbed the corner of her clothes, and said to Andrei.

At this moment, Ekaterina was like a junior high school girl who had just fallen in love. She did not dare to look at Andrei because she knew that Andrei would definitely not agree to her request.

"Ekaterina, I will definitely visit your parents when I arrive in Moscow this time, but not now." Andrei said, "It's not appropriate to go there now. Ekaterina, wait until I receive the title of Hero of the Soviet Union and get the Gold Star Medal. When I go to see your parents with the medal hanging on my chest, they will definitely agree that we should be together."

Hero of the Soviet Union is the highest honorary title in the entire Soviet Union. Having such a son-in-law should make both families feel proud.

Hearing Andrei's words, Ekaterina could only say awkwardly: "Well...Okay, then you must come!" There was another sentence in her heart that she didn't say, in fact, there is not much people at home...

After leaving the air force base, a Moscow-brand car was already parked at the door. Gromov and Ekaterina got into the car together. As they watched the car disappear from their sight, Andrei felt a little empty in his heart.

At that time in the Soviet Union, that aspect was not very open. Even though the two were very much in love, they couldn't just run over there now. It was against etiquette.

Catching the last bus to the city, Andrei sat by the window and suddenly realized something was wrong. Why did that KGB guy run away with Ekaterina? Was he here to protect himself or Ekaterina?

It may also be that once they enter Moscow, they are absolutely safe. No matter how powerful the American agents are, they can't sneak into Moscow. Thinking of this, Andrei felt relieved.

Two hours later, Andrei arrived at the hotel under the Air Defense Force Command on Gagarin Street. After showing his ID, Andrei took the key and opened the door of a room on the second floor.

The experiences of the past few days were really thrilling. After Andrei put down his luggage, the first thing he did was to rush into the bathroom. His body stunk, and he didn't know whether Ekaterina was disgusted with him along the way.

Andre took a comfortable bath amid the sound of rushing water. It was great that this hotel provided hot water 24 hours a day.

The door behind me opened without me noticing.
