Knocking on the door late at night sounds more harsh than usual during the day, especially when the room is so quiet that you can hear a pin drop.
Fortunately, Malashenko was not in a state of concentration and nervousness at this time, so he would not be frightened by the sudden and unexpected knock on the door.
Malashenko slowly put down the book in his hand and then stood up and walked towards the door. This was Malashenko's next reaction.
"Are you asleep like this?"
"Not yet, I think I will be ready to go to bed in a while, and I am reading a book. I happened to find a few books written by Paulus from the library of this club. Most of them are professional books on the Staff Department. I am curious about this guy.
Take a look by the way, if you feel sleepy, prepare to go to bed, is something wrong with you?"
What happened during the day gave Malashenko a new interest in Paulus. This was something he had not seen since Stalingrad captured this guy alive until today. Malashenko wanted to try
Learn more from the book, and you may find something different by reading the works written by Paulus, an old guy.
"Well, it's nothing. Ah, no, I should say there is a good thing. I was jealous of you, so I blocked you."
"Good thing? And you blocked it back???"
Looking at the "silver smile" in front of him, Lavrinenko looked quite malicious. Malashenko, who knew immediately that this guy must have bad intentions, pretended to be displeased.
"If you have something to say, you have to fart! She's mysterious, just like a gossiping girl from the village!"
"Okay, okay, then I told you, just don't hit me."
As he spoke, he reached out and took out a mysterious object from his back, shook it casually and handed it to Malashenko's hand.
"Notice came from above. Those American journalists applied for an extension of their stay. It seems they want to stay until the Battle of Berlin is over and don't want to miss this final moment."
"We don't know what happened in the process. Anyway, the result is that the higher-ups agreed. The written document from the Group Army Headquarters has just arrived. Attached is the document from the Front Army Headquarters. There are two copies. They say the same thing and want us to continue.
Please take a look at the postponement of the security mission."
"."
While opening the file bag in his hand and listening to Lavrinenko's brief report on the situation, Malashenko, who really didn't expect it to be like this, then felt that this seemed to be somewhere. It was not big.
Satisfied?
"I said, this is not right."
"What you just told me was blocking a good thing from me. You didn't block the job of being a nanny for the Yankees from me. Secondly, it's not a damn good thing. Don't you think it's a good thing?
Is something wrong?"
Flipping through the documents of the Group Army Headquarters and the Front Army Headquarters in his hands, Malashenko read them continuously, and at the same time, he did not forget to express the doubts in his heart. Malashenko spoke in confusion, but the performance of Lavrinenko, who was so close in front of him,
But I want to laugh even more.
"Because the American lady named Jill wanted to chat with you and said she had some homework for you to check. I said it was too late today and would wait until another day. Comrade the teacher had already rested. I would convey the message on my behalf, so I stopped her.
gone back."
"Look, I kicked out the beautiful young ladies who were sleeping with you. Do you think this ruined your good deeds? I think so."
"."
Looking at Lavrinenko, he took out the object from his satchel again and handed it to him.
Of course Malashenko, who had been handling this thing for several days in a row, could tell that this thing was the small notebook that Jill carried with her during the interview. It contained all of her handwritten reports and interview transcripts, and according to regulations, it would be handed over to him for personal review.
Auditing is euphemistically called preventing leaks of secrets. This little girl is actually obedient and does what she says.
However, this has nothing to do with Malashenko's current desire to slap Lavrinenko in the face.
"Okay, the joke ends here, but I do have some real good news to tell you. Originally, the American girl came over to tell you personally, but now I will convey it to you. In addition, she is afraid that
Excuse me for going back on your own initiative, but don’t really think it’s me who’s blocking your way, I’m just kidding you.”
"."
Malashenko, whose mood was on a roller coaster, looked "extremely" unhappy, but his desire to slap Lavrinenko twice did not diminish much. He couldn't be simpler and blurted out an answer without any nonsense.
.
"speak."
".Fine."
"Well, that's the leader of the American press corps, the bad guy Jefferson. That guy is so stupid."
"I don't know the details. What Jill said and what I'm relaying to you, please listen carefully."
"She said that there was a message from the newspaper headquarters, revoking his position on the spot, and asking him to return to the United States immediately to report. Who is the acting head of the press team? It's her female assistant. What's her name? Oh, yes
, that Mary will take charge of it."
"I guess you want to ask why and what exactly happened, so I asked you by the way."
"The American girl said that the special report you did was effective. This Jefferson's father had offended a political enemy before. Now that his father has gone, he has become more powerful and has become some kind of bullshit senator. And he is still a senator.
He is very petty and always wants to find an opportunity to mess with the Jefferson family."
"Just in time, your special report this time has caused a lot of trouble. I heard that Jefferson had already won a Pulitzer Prize because his father had found someone to help him get it for his precious son.
The birthday present was given to me by someone unknown and now the whole United States knows about it.”
"There are a lot of people who have their butts burned because of this matter. Then the American girl said that the entire American press has been blown up in the past two days. The Pulitzer Prize was actually faked! Glasses were shattered on the ground."
"Because the commotion is so big, involving a lot of bribery and fraud, I heard that even some bureau in the United States, yes! The FBI has intervened, and now we need to investigate this Jefferson, and ask him to go back and surrender.
"
"What about Jefferson? Is he really going to go back and turn himself in, ready to face the rest of his life in prison?"
Because the amount of information received in a short period of time was too large, there was no time to ask questions one by one, and it was probably in vain. Malashenko simply focused on the key points and asked what kind of state Jefferson was in now.
"Of course he doesn't want to go back, but he can't help it."
"The U.S. Embassy in Moscow came directly and used diplomatic channels to second people from our Ministry of Internal Affairs to ask for assistance. You know, I said it was assistance, but I was afraid that people would run away or resist and cause trouble."
"Anyway, I didn't see any scene at that time. It is said that Comrade Political Commissar received and handled it. Comrades from the Ministry of Internal Affairs also produced a written order for assistance and cooperation. You can ask Comrade Political Commissar for details when the time comes. It will be tonight. I guess he
I plan to tell you tomorrow because I don’t want to disturb your rest.”
"In short, Jefferson was captured without any fuss. He came out without making any fuss. He obediently followed the people sent by the U.S. Embassy and got on the plane and left. Now everything is over."
