Yamafu Military Affairs

Chapter 509 Ilyich

"Decapitation operation? But we don't even know his exact location right now."

Looking at the satellite radar that was malfunctioning due to mental interference in the distance, Tanya knew very well that finding Ilich in the huge S area would be as difficult as finding a needle in a haystack.

Moreover, the modern technological means they use for tracking are now restricted, and it is extremely difficult to find Ilyich's whereabouts in a short period of time.

"Don't you have any high-level soldiers with genetic abilities related to tracking? For example, Frankenstein in hound form or something like that."

Qin Huai thought of the Kabbalah Tree at the Big Ben Research Institute, which represented countless genetic abilities, and asked.

"Indeed, we do have them, but we don't have any Tier 4 troops. If you need them, I can transfer a hound team from Area C."

Tanya paused and continued, "But it's hard to guarantee tracking efficiency. After all, Ilich has been missing for so many years, and no one knows what strange genetic weapons he might have."

"Tell me about Ilyich. I heard from Wei Yueyan that you and he are old acquaintances."

"No problem, I have everything ready, follow me."

Tanya took Qin Huai into the cold white office building, found a meeting room that was not affected by the gunfire, then pulled off the USB flash drive hanging on her chest and plugged it directly into the computer in the meeting room.

"Let me think about it. Where should I start? Well, let's start with his family."

Tanya slid the mouse, and the spire clock logo flashed on the screen. Then a Slavic elder with white hair and beard and wearing lace-up glasses appeared. Although it was just a black and white photo, Qin Huai could still tell from his movements and expressions that this was definitely not an ordinary scientist.

"In 1870 of the old calendar, Ilyich Grigorievitch Ivanov was born in Bucharest, the capital of Romania, and later returned to Kursk with his father, the then Russian ambassador. Since his father served as a senior official in the financial department of Kursk Province after returning to Russia, Ilyich had a very happy childhood. Not only did he receive a full set of European elite education, but he also entered the vision of the imperial high-level officials as an outstanding talent of Moscow University. Later, he entered the Pasteur Institute to study bacteriology and genetics. With his extraordinary talent and perfect resume, he entered the Imperial Experimental Institute after graduation and became Mr. Pavlov's proud student."

"As a second-generation official, Ilyich was very familiar with the rules and ecology of the officialdom. He was good at dancing with his sleeves and relying on his eloquence, he was like a fish in water among the high-level officials of the empire. He used his technology to accumulate strong funds, connections and academic reputation. At that time, the Imperial Experimental Research Institute and the Russian Academy of Sciences both supported him strongly. The whole country poured its efforts into him, who was in his thirties, hoping that he could use new technologies to make the cake bigger for the country, create profits, and fix the mess. As for the results, it was not too good. But he used many species in the Askania-Nova Nature Reserve for genetic research and accumulated a lot of valuable experience. Later, the Big Ben Institute was established. As the leading Morganist scientist in the old Soviet Union, he naturally joined it and participated in the initial verification and secondary verification of the genetic research algorithm. Inspired by Dean Su Ling, he proposed the Endless Jacques Plan."

At this point, Tanya sighed: "It was also at the Big Ben Institute that I first met Ilich as the guard of Dean Su Ling. He was already in his sixties, but he still looked energetic and had a pair of eyes that seemed to be able to see into people's hearts. The first impression was very deep."

"So you used to be Su Ling's guard? No wonder I've never seen the genetic medicine you injected before. You must have paid a lot to get him to help you prepare the medicine, right?"

Qin Huai looked at Tanya with some surprise. He had thought that the three major powers were the white gloves of the Big Ben Institute, but he did not expect the connection to be so deep.

"Only by giving more can you get more. It turns out that this saying is true."

Tanya smiled slightly, and did not talk too much about the glorious years of the past. She just said, "Mr. Qin, please see if there is anything missing. I can try my best to fill it in."

Qin Huai picked up the electronic pen, flipped through the documents that appeared on the screen, thought for a while, and asked: "I remember that before and after the outbreak of the war, Lysenkoism and Michurinism were prevalent in the old Soviet Union. As the mainstay of the Morgan School, didn't Ilyich suffer political persecution?"

"To be precise, the Red Tsar did force Ilyich to retire for some political reasons, using the excuse that he was too old, and sent him to an ice-free port in East Siberia, under the pretext of letting him enjoy his old age. But in the eyes of the outside world, this was just a means of deceiving others and making things more obvious. The real purpose was to exile the old man and let Lysenko, whom he favored, take over the Soviet Academy of Sciences. But..."

Tanya seemed to be lost in memories when she spoke of this, and her expression was hard to describe for a moment: "But in fact, the battlefield emergency treatment technology and standardized battlefield surgical system developed by Ilyich saved the lives of many soldiers and officers during the war. In addition, the Bolsheviks gave scientists the greatest preferential treatment. Ilyich worked diligently in the old Soviet Union for more than ten years and had an unimaginable reputation in the military, political and academic circles. Lysenko, a latecomer born into a Ukrainian peasant family, could not compare with Ilyich, who was good at flattery, even if he was good at flattering. What's more, Lysenko was just a useless person with a golden appearance and rotten rags inside. His scientific research ability was completely incomparable to Ilyich, who had become a leading figure in the academic world at that time. But the Red Tsar did just that, as if he had been drugged by Lysenko."

"Perhaps it was because of his peasant background that the iron father made such an arrangement."

Qin Huai, who was born in the spring breeze and grew up under the red flag, naturally understood the complexity of Lysenkoism better than Tanya, a British woman, and said slowly: "From the current situation, he let Ilyich go to East Siberia to retire, there must be other hidden reasons. Maybe he is playing a trick on the international community, taking advantage of the stereotype of him, and using a transfer order to perfectly hide Ilyich and the research project he is in charge of. As for the purpose. "

Qin Huai glanced at Tanya who seemed to be thinking about something, and continued: "I remember that a few years before the outbreak of the war, not long after the signing of the Treaty of Versailles, many inexplicable phenomena began to appear all over the world, such as auroras, long nights, and huge echoes from the sky. These phenomena were not explained by top scientific institutions such as the Cavendish Laboratory and the Pasteur Institute. Then the theory of doomsday began to become popular. Virus theory, religious theory, meteorite theory, and the most common flood theory appeared on the tables of leaders of various countries, and batches of survival bases began to be built. I think that Ilyich went to East and West Siberia, most likely to preside over a survival base, perhaps to cultivate gene-edited super soldiers, or perhaps to preserve the last spark for mankind when the doomsday comes. In short, if my guess is correct, the Red Tsar should be aware of all this, but Big Ben is unaware of it, which can only mean one thing."

"He's watching out for Big Ben."

After listening to Qin Huai's explanation, Tanya connected several key time points and figured out something: "From this point of view, the Red Tsar did have the motive of building a plank road in the open and marching through Chencang in secret."

As she spoke, Tanya picked up the electronic pen and took out a few more documents from the old ruins from the USB drive.

Qin Huai raised his head and looked at the part of the information that was highlighted in red. Originally published in the Journal of the Soviet Academy of Sciences, February x, 193x: "We certainly cannot deny the explosive promotion of the Big Ben Institute on human science and technology, as well as its extensive influence around the world. But today, when the world is undergoing tremendous changes every moment, Julius Robert, Albert Ulm, von Karman, Alan Mathison, these masters of the Big Ben Institute, represent almost all Western countries where capitalism prevails. Since Mr. Ilyich Grigorievitch Ivanov withdrew from Big Ben due to illness, it is urgent for the Soviet Union, which has revolutionary justice, to elect a new agent to preside over the Endless Jacques Project."

Originally published in the October x issue of the Republic Red Star: War is coming! "Manhattan Project", "Endless Jacques", "Tanya Superdeep Drilling and Mining", "Time-Space Shuttle Machine". The research topics of the Big Ben Institute are at least one or two eras ahead of the entire world. Undoubtedly, they play a key role in this war that determines the fate of all mankind. The speed of their technological breakthroughs will directly affect the tilt of the balance of victory. Among them, the "Endless Jacques" research base, which is mainly responsible for the motherland, has been completed one after another recently. The project host, the spokesperson of the "Big Ben Institute" in the Soviet Union, the cardinal of the motherland's genetics, Lysenko, gave a speech.
Originally from the log of Tanya Mining's "Rock Climbing" Exploration Team: We can basically conclude that there is extremely high-quality geothermal energy near the former Soviet military port at 77 degrees north latitude and 104 degrees east longitude in the East Siberian wilderness. This area is very likely to contain ancient relics with inestimable value. My suggestions are as follows.
"Councilor Tanya, since you joined the Big Ben Institute a long time ago, you must know Lysenko?"

After reading the information, Qin Huai suddenly thought of a question, so he asked Tanya: "In your opinion, can the Endless Yak Project hosted by him successfully produce tens of thousands of Yak genes?"

"Lysenko? He is just a charlatan cultivated by a special political environment. If Ilyich hadn't left him those Jacques genes before he left, would he have wanted to gain a foothold in Big Ben? Impossible."

Tanya shook her head and did not elaborate on why Big Ben chose Lysenko as their spokesperson in the Soviet Union. She simply judged this scientific research idol who was unrivaled at the time based on his personal ability.

"That's it."

Qin Huai nodded, and he almost had the answer in his mind.

Although Qin Huai himself had never dealt with Lysenko, he was acquainted with Su Ling. Given the gloomy and ruthless nature of this ghost master, who was willing to use an entire fruit as a culture medium and witness countless sacrifices, he must have had his reasons for choosing Lysenko as Big Ben's spokesperson in the Soviet Union.

In Qin Huai's opinion, maybe he was playing along in order to paralyze the iron father; or maybe the apparent host was not important, and what Big Ben needed was only the manpower and material resources of the old Soviet Union. With him in charge of the progress behind the scenes, a puppet without too many self-thoughts and easy to control would be more to his liking. But more likely, maybe he just didn't care.

"Mr. Qin asked about Lysenko. Could it be that he thought Ilyich would go to the Great Devil Lake in Area B, restart the experimental base left by Lysenko, and use the equipment and information there to continue the Endless Yak Project?"

Tanya thought of the exploration log sent back by the company's internal "radio" exploration team and asked tentatively.

"It's unlikely. If he wants to go to the Endless Jacques Experimental Base, he will definitely act in secret to prevent the news from leaking out and being found by Big Ben. But since he has chosen to send troops to attack Tanya Mining's base in Area S and actively exposed himself to the eyes of the three major powers, it can only mean that this military action is of great significance."

Qin Huai crossed his hands, placed them on the table, and suggested: "I think the most important thing right now is to count the losses and see what resources and equipment of Tanya Mining were looted by those wild orcs. I have a hunch that Ilich will not go to area B. He will stay in area S. As for his purpose, it is not clear yet, but it must be very involved."

"I see. I'll go to the quartermaster's office to find Emily. Would you like to come with me, Mr. Qin?"

Tanya unplugged the USB drive and opened her electronic tactical board. The blue model representing the base overview was damaged in many places, and displayed darker shades of yellow and red according to the degree of damage. The southwest area representing the warehouse was the most seriously damaged, deep red.

"Let's go together."

Qin Huai glanced at the electronic tactical board on Tanya's forearm, stood up, followed Tanya out of the comprehensive office building, and went to the ruined quartermaster department adjacent to the wilderness hunter gathering place.

"Emily, be gentle. Old Barty's Qigong massage is not as painful as these two!"

In the makeshift military tent, a girl with white hair and red eyes was grimacing and crying out in pain to Emily who was putting a plaster on her back.

"You're a sniper, why do you have to learn those [Wandering Gods] to engage in close combat with the enemy? If you only sprained your waist this time, I wonder how you will be able to go on missions in the future."

Emily gently stroked Shuo's smooth and tight waist, smoothed out the plaster, and then spoke to remind him.

"Because in addition to [Hell Soldier], I was also injected with [Wandering God], otherwise how could I save you from those apes?"

Shuo put on his windbreaker and was just about to have a few more words with Emily when he heard footsteps approaching from outside.

"Emily, has the damage report for this attack come out?"

Shuo stuck his head out along the edge of the tent, and the first person he saw was not Tanya, but a tall, strange man.

The appearance of this strange man was not particularly outstanding, but his movements were graceful and his expression was charming. For some reason, he gave her a very strange feeling.

This feeling was something she had never experienced in the more than ten years she had lived in the winter wasteland.
