My Realistic Simulation Game

Chapter 210 A palpable fear, but a greater scheme?

At this time, the Soviet Union, especially Moscow, was not yet in a state of panic, but the air was already filled with a sense of oppression and restlessness before a storm.

It wasn't because the design bureau case in Kuibyshev was widely publicized, but because the situation in the entire alliance was deteriorating rapidly.

With the March referendum on the fate of the Soviet Union imminent, the struggle between the two camps—those supporting the Gorbachev alliance and those supporting Yeltsin and other radical separatist forces—is intensifying.

In the streets of Moscow, gatherings of 400,000 to 500,000 people are frequently seen, with various slogans and flags displayed, and a tense standoff is evident.

Radicals even threatened to organize a massive gathering of over a million people on February 25 to put pressure on the Kremlin.

Faced with this almost provocative act, Gorbachev has ordered the Ministry of the Interior to deploy troops and heavy trucks to block all roads leading to the Kremlin, maintaining a tight defense; the situation is on the verge of erupting.

It was against this backdrop of nationwide chaos and repression that the head of a design bureau in Kuibyshev was arrested and several employees of a Chinese company went missing.
Such an event is like a small stone thrown into a turbulent wave; it doesn't cause any ripples, and no one dares to investigate it further.

It was amidst this crisis and chaos that Qin Yuan once again set foot on Soviet territory.

The plane landed at Moscow's Sheremetyevo Airport.

Wang Gongquan, Ivan Petrovich, the general manager of Ochakov, and Chen Jianhua, who had arrived early to attend school and organize Far East trade in the Soviet Union, were already anxiously waiting at the airport.

Upon seeing Qin Yuan, Wang Gongquan and the others immediately stepped forward, as if they had found their pillar of support.

"President Qin, what about Kuibyshev?"

Qin Yuan waved his hand: "Get in the car first. I know about what happened with Kuibyshev."

The group remained silent. Qin Yuan walked in front, followed by Wu Weiguo, Wang Gongquan, Chen Jianhua, Pan Shiyi, and others.

Their expressions were different, but the anxiety and impatience in their hearts were the same.

Stepping out of the airport.

With a deafening roar, the sky suddenly changed dramatically. A gale arose, and a torrential downpour, without warning, struck the land of Moscow like a cold arrow.

Qin Yuan looked up at the rare early spring downpour, with large raindrops pounding against the car window, and the world shrouded in a gray haze.

This seems to foreshadow the unpredictable nature of this country.

This foreshadows the difficulty of this journey.

"It's raining"

Qin Yuan reached out and touched the cold rain falling from the sky.

He looked at all of this, seemingly lost in thought, before bending down and getting into the car.

Wang Gongquan and Chen Jianhua followed closely behind.

"Tell me, what exactly happened on Kuibyshev's side?"

"The car is now full of our own people," Qin Yuan said decisively.

He needs to know everything that happened in Kuybyshev.

Only by obtaining more information can we ascertain the situation on Binzi's side and understand the KGB's true intentions.

“That’s right, Brother Yuan. I sent Vasily there. He’s an acquaintance of ours and a Soviet citizen. He won’t attract much attention in Kuibyshev.”

"So after my sister-in-law came back, I asked Vasily to go and serve as Binzi's translator and liaison."

Chen Jianhua quickly reported what he knew.

Wang Gongquan then added, "President Qin, I returned to Moscow the night before the deal with Binzi was made. Before I came back, they had already reached an agreement with the design bureau."

"On the surface, it was a barter transaction, but secretly it included transferring one million US dollars to the overseas accounts of several heads of the design bureau. It was because of this that Binzi and Gangzi felt at ease to pick up the goods, which they originally planned to transport back to China on a cargo flight to Xiamen the next day."

"But no one expected that the KGB would suddenly launch an attack at this time."

As Qin Yuan analyzed these events in his mind, he looked at Chen Jianhua and asked, "Jianhua, when did Elena's accident happen?"

“I don’t know anything about my sister-in-law’s situation either. After she returned to Moscow, she stayed at the Jeanswest flagship store on Pushkin Square. When I went to tell her about the incident in Kuibyshev, I found that I couldn’t find her. I heard from some classmates in the university town that she was taken away by people wearing black trench coats and armbands. Natasha asked her father to inquire, but he was very tight-lipped.”

In the car on the way to the city, Wang Gongquan and Chen Jianhua quickly and clearly reported what they knew. After listening to this, Qin Yuan was even more convinced that this was a carefully planned scheme by the KGB from beginning to end, with the aim of forcing him to come to the Soviet Union in person.

This is why the matter was kept strictly within a very small scope, without spreading or being publicly reported; everything was waiting for his arrival.

Qin Yuan made a decision almost without hesitation: "We're not going to the city. Ivan, turn around and we're going to Kuibyshev."

"I need to see someone who can make the decision right now!"

Ivan was taken aback by what he heard, and his face showed some difficulty. Just as he was about to say something, the car suddenly slowed down and slowly stopped at the side of the road.

In the rain ahead, several black Volga cars silently blocked the way.

Several men wearing raincoats stood beside the car, but they were tall and had sharp eyes.

One of them raised his hand to signal them to stop.

Ivan Petrovich looked out through the rain-blurred car window, his face turning deathly pale, his voice trembling: "President Qin... outside... outside are KGB men, the leader... is a major!"

The atmosphere inside the car instantly plummeted to freezing point.

Wang Gongquan, Chen Jianhua, and the others felt a sudden tightness in their chests, while Wu Weiguo, in the passenger seat, instinctively tensed up and entered a state of high alert.

Only Qin Yuan remained calm and composed, as if he had already anticipated all of this.

He wiped his damp hands, his tone calm, yet carrying an undeniable resolve:

"Don't be nervous, they're not here to arrest anyone."

"They're here to find me."

"It seems there are people who are more eager to meet than we are."

The appearance of KGB agents further confirmed his suspicions.

Every action they took in the Soviet Union was being watched by a pair of eyes.

Their roadblock and interception were incredibly precise.

However, since he had made preparations, he did not intend to escape.

All we can do now is confront the person behind this and see what they're really up to.

Such a great deal of effort was made because of his coming out.

Their ambitions must be considerable.

Was it for Far Eastern Kvass, or for the new car deal he was preparing to reach with Volga Motors?
Or perhaps, a much larger scheme?
"Let's go, get out of the car." Qin Yuan calmly pushed open the car door and stepped directly into the rain.

Chen Jianhua, Ivan, Wang Gongquan, and the others got out of the car.

Meanwhile, Pan Shiyi, Zhang Wei, Wang Haiyang, and several others got out of the other car.

Chen Jianhua held up an umbrella, his face filled with trepidation, mixed with a hint of fear.

The KGB, the KGB that everyone in the Soviet Union feared, was right in front of them.

In the rain.

The sky was covered with dark clouds, making it seem like night even during the day.

A bolt of lightning flashed by, seemingly tearing through the sky!

Followed by.

There was a boom.

A thunderous roar resounded!
"Gentlemen, please wait a moment. Our director only has the audience with Mr. Qin."

The trench coat-clad major stopped the others and spoke calmly.
