After nearly ten days of long sailing, the icebreaker finally returned safely to the Philippines under the escort of the cargo ship sent by Huo Heng.

Returning to Huo Heng's turret, Daniel, who had just recovered from a serious illness, was taken away by people sent by Jia Ya. As for what he would encounter, you could guess more or less just by looking at the frightened expression on his face.

However, neither the club members headed by Shi Quan nor Huo Heng and others were interested in paying attention to this unfortunate guy. As soon as the two parties sat down, the topic was brought to the sea explosion incident that they had planned more than half a month ago.

"With public opinion and hype, and video and audio evidence, this matter can basically close the coffin."

Huo Heng held a small teapot and said proudly, "In the next two years, my shipyard will build a new salvage ship, and the Japanese will pay all the expenses in full. In addition, the families of those 'disadvantaged' seafarers

We can also get a large amount of compensation."

"This is such gratifying news." Shi Quan picked up the tea cup and drank it all with a smile.

Huo Heng personally poured a cup of tea for Shi Quan, "The good news doesn't stop there."

"Any other good news?" Shi Quan asked with interest.

"There's a bounty on you and your icebreaker."

Huo Heng looked at Shi Quan with gloating, "Because of the threats you made against the whaling ships on New Zealand TV, and with the help of well-intentioned people, almost all Japanese whaling ships now want to sink your ship. And you can complete it.

For this feat, not only will you get a brand new whaling ship, but you will also have a dedicated team of lawyers to help them fight with you."

"It's indeed good news." Shi Quanhun smiled nonchalantly, not taking this threat seriously at all. As long as their self-defense forces didn't come out, it was really not certain who would sink whom.

"Where are you going next?" Huo Heng asked, changing the subject at the right time.

"Go back to Russia first," Shi Quan thought for a while and said, "Brother Huo, I have to go to the trouble of borrowing your transport plane to send us back."

"This is all a trivial matter." Huo Heng waved his hand nonchalantly, "Aren't you going to take that skewer away?"

"I'll keep it for you. If Daniel's origin is unclear, it's safer to leave it with Brother Huo." Shi Quan thought for a while and continued, "In addition, my ship will stay at your place for a few more days.

Wait for the wind to pass before driving away, so Captain Miao and the others have to ask you to take care of it."

"You will be a hands-off shopkeeper," Huo Heng scolded with a smile, "It doesn't matter whether it's a ship or a person, don't worry."

Shi Quan cupped his hands and said, "With Brother Huo's words, I feel relieved."

After talking about the main business, everyone's topic also shifted to the discovery on Auckland Island. Under the hype of Big Ivan, the salvage team's credit for the entire process was suddenly lost to this shameless gangster.

Most of the goods were stolen.

Fortunately, Huo Heng didn't take it seriously. In his position, an interesting story is far more interesting than the truth.

After resting for a night at Bandit Huo's territory, early the next morning, everyone took a helicopter ferry to the airport and transferred to the transport plane prepared by Huo Heng to fly directly to Irkutsk, Russia.

In addition to the weapons they carried with them, Shi Quan and others returned with all the gains they had made on Auckland Island. Otherwise, they could have flown directly to Petersburg.

With the help of the people sent by Andre, they returned the spoils of the trip to the radar station. Without even leaving the airport, everyone boarded the opponent's plane and rushed to the border city of Russia and Finland as quickly as possible.

Fort.

If you ask Shi Quan which battle in the entire history of Soviet-German World War II interests him the most, the answer is definitely the Soviet-Finnish War! And when it comes to the Soviet-Finnish War, you have to mention the little-known choke point Vyborg.

This small border town is only 130 kilometers away from St. Petersburg. Historically, both Sweden and Finland were owners here.

At the beginning of the old movie "Lenin in October", Comrade Lenin takes a train from Finland back to St. Petersburg, leading the Bolsheviks to drive away the last Czar. The place where Comrade Lenin took the train is Vyborg, which is still part of Finland.

Of course, this small city was not called Viborg before. When it was part of Finland, its name was Vipuri. Although it is not big, it is the second largest city in Finland.

Unfortunately, this small town that was once regarded as a treasure by Finland did not develop much after being included in the Soviet Union. Even if the Soviet Union disintegrated and Russia emerged, the tension between Russia (the Soviet Union) and Finland is more eternal than love.

relation.

Not only has the small town of Vyborg not improved much, it is even worse than it was during the Soviet era. The only change brought to it by the Soviet Union or Russia is the war sites and war monuments that can be seen everywhere.

What's even more ironic is that on the street corner less than 200 meters away from a certain T34 tank monument, that old-looking Gothic hotel was the fragile safe house that they were aiming for.

"Yuri, what should we do? Just break in and catch the hotel owner?"

Big Ivan, who was wearing a wig, parked the rented van in a parking space on the roadside and asked while looking at the hotel across the road that didn't seem to be doing very well.

Shi Quan, who was wearing a mask, did not answer the question. Instead, he pointed to the Viborg Bay on the other side of the car, which was less than a hundred meters away. "Do you think there are any secret passages in this old building?"

"Even if not, those squishy mice who are good at digging holes will definitely build a secret tunnel by themselves."

Elena, who covered almost all of her face with a mask, sunglasses and a baseball cap, held up a telescope and looked at the large and small fishing boats parked on the pier, "And I guess they will definitely build a channel directly into the water.

.”

“Actually, it’s not a big problem even if I run away.”

While Nasha was talking, she took a photo of the beautiful old building with her SLR, "Our purpose is to ransack the house. It doesn't matter even if everyone inside runs away. I have to say, this building

The architecture is really beautiful.”

"Or we can make a deal with Ludenkov"

Big Ivan had already taken out a satellite phone while speaking, "For him, is there any greater achievement than catching some Ukrainian or American spies?"

"Who did you learn this ability to call a deer a horse?"

Shi Quan couldn't help laughing and scolding, "It's okay to ask Ludenkov to help, but are you sure he won't monopolize all the discoveries in the safe house?"

"Well" Big Ivan didn't press the dial button in the end, "So what should we do?"

"It's very simple." Shi Quan took out his phone and checked the time, "A little later, after dark, we can move in directly."

"Everyone?"

"Of course" Shi Quan nodded matter-of-factly, "Since you run a hotel, you can't help but welcome us, right?"

Big Ivan grinned with a scary smile, "I hope their bed is big enough and soft enough."

"Notify everyone that at 7:30 in the evening, everyone will come and move in."

Shi Quan thought for a while and then added, "Don't kill anyone this time. Remember to capture the person alive and hand him over to Ludenkov after the interrogation."

"It's easy for that lousy policeman." Big Ivan pouted, stepped on the accelerator, and drove the tattered van back onto the motorway and drove around in circles in the streets and alleys of Viborg.

After wasting an afternoon, at 7:20, six or seven cars of different models filled the few parking spaces in front of the old hotel. The club members carrying large and small bags had something to say.

He opened the hotel door with a smile.

The middle-aged fat woman who was in charge of the front desk was particularly happy. Although the hotel where she worked was beautiful on the outside, the basic supporting facilities inside did not match the shockingly high price.

In other words, there are not many people who are willing to be taken advantage of and live here. This time there were more than a dozen people, which is almost enough to accommodate the number of people staying here for more than half a month.

But as the saying goes, some people are happy and some are worried. Almost as soon as Shi Quan and others occupied the parking space outside with their cars, they had already attracted the attention of the hotel owner. Especially when they took off their masks and opened the door with smiles.

When he opened the old-fashioned wooden door that had been working for more than half a century, the hotel owner, after a brief panic, took off the suit on the hanger and put it on. After straightening his tie, he opened the door and walked out of his office.

.

"Mr. Stone"

The hotel owner had just entered the spacious lobby on the first floor and attracted the attention of all the club members. However, the other party seemed to have been waiting for them. He cleared his throat and continued, "There are also Mr. Ivan and Irene."

Hello, Miss Na and Nasha, if you don’t mind, let me show you around this hotel!"

"Did you know we were coming?" Shi Quan glanced at the wooden door behind him that was controlled by Asak and his tribe, and then asked him with a smile.

"Ever since the Brandts were killed, I have been waiting for someone to come and take over this place."

The hotel owner with a big belly waved to the woman at the bar, waited until the woman got into the rest room, and then continued, "I thought the first person to come here would be an old German or a Jew, but I didn't expect that the first one to come here would be an old German or a Jew.

It’s you, but that’s not surprising, after all, this is Russia, isn’t it?”

"Old German?" Elena murmured to herself, seeming to find this title particularly interesting.

"Brandt and his son," Shi Quan muttered, and then asked, "So this is the Kimi one?"

"All the 'lodges' are run by the Brandts"

It was only then that the hotel owner extended his hand to Shi Quan, "Welcome to you again. I think you must already know my name."

Shi Quan shook hands with the other party and said, "Indeed, if it is convenient for Mr. Karl, please take us around here."

"Of course, it's my pleasure"

Karl, the hotel owner, leaned forward slightly and led the crowd as they walked, saying, "This hotel was formerly a Gothic church built by the Swedes. After the collapse of the Soviet Union, we paid for it and transformed it into what we see today.
