The news of Sokov's accident soon reached Afunin's ears, and he hurried to the lounge with his people. When he entered, he happened to see his men carrying a body out, and he was frightened at the time.
For a moment, he thought it was Sokov, but after seeing clearly that it was a stranger, he felt a little more at ease.
When he came to Sokov, he raised his hand in salute and said apologetically: "I'm sorry, Comrade Commander, because of my negligence, your personal safety was almost endangered."
"General Afunin," Sokov originally planned to follow the orders of the front army headquarters and only deal with the Kwantung Army prisoners of war and island nationals in the city, but now it seems that the traitors who have helped the evildoers should also be dealt with, otherwise these people
Sooner or later something will happen: "I have a task for you."
Although Afunin didn't know what task Sokov was going to assign to him, he still said bravely: "Please give the order, Comrade Commander."
"After dawn tomorrow, you will send people in the city to search for people who have served for the Kwantung Army, especially those who have participated in the so-called detective team and plainclothes team. They will be your focus." Sokov said: "By the way.
, and there are die-hard traitors like Wang Juntao, and we must arrest them all one by one."
Afuning did not expect that Sokov actually issued such an order to himself. He opened his mouth and wanted to tell the other party that according to the order of the front army headquarters, these people who had served for the Kwantung Army, as long as they did not do anything against the Soviet army,
He ignored the unfavorable things for the time being. But when he saw Sokov's livid face, he realized that if he said such words at this moment, it would be tantamount to adding fuel to the fire, so he secretly swallowed the words that came to his lips.
.
Seeing Afuning not speaking, Sokov became even more angry. He stared at the other person and said: "General Afuning, why don't you speak? Is it because there are too few people at hand? If so, you say
"I will immediately transfer the troops directly under the headquarters to your command. If that is not enough, I will ask General Ye Liaoming's 4th Guards Airborne Division to assist you."
Listening to what Sokov said, Afuning knew in his heart that Sokov was really angry, otherwise he would not have told the story about Master Ye Liao and the troops directly under the headquarters coming to hunt down the traitors in the city. He straightened up quickly
He replied loudly: "Commander, please rest assured, I have enough troops on hand to hunt down the hostile elements in the city."
"That's good, I'll wait for your good news." Since Afuning called the traitors in the city hostile elements, Sokov knew in his heart that the other party had already made a choice, which was to follow his order and eradicate the city.
The traitor forces.
Seeing that the expression on Sokov's face had softened, Afnin asked tentatively: "Comrade Commander, I wonder if tonight's dance will still go on as usual?" When he said this, he obviously lacked confidence, after all, not long ago
Before, someone tried to harm Sokov in the lounge. Even if the dance was canceled, it would be justified.
"Of course it will proceed like this." After Sokov expressed his attitude, he specifically added: "You can go to dance, but I will not participate."
Sokov said he would not attend the dance, which made Afunin look very ugly. Seeing this, Yakov came out in time to smooth things over: "Misha, since you are already here, let's go dance two songs. If you don't
If we go, I don’t think General Afuning is in the mood to dance.”
"Yasha, please dance the first dance on my behalf." Sokov knew the European tradition. The first dance at a dance is usually danced by a person of high status. And the person with the highest status here
It was him. If he didn't dance, Afunin and the others really wouldn't be able to start dancing. But after the scene just now, Sokov had no interest in the dance, so he pushed Yakov away.
Come out: "I think Sonia will be very happy to dance with you."
Yakov originally wanted to reject Sokov's proposal, but when he heard that he could dance with Sonia, his idea suddenly took a 180-degree turn. He found that Sonia's attitude towards him had become worse and worse since she came to Sauron.
He was cold and completely different from Sonia in Khabarovsk. He had always wanted to find a chance to ask Sonia properly, but the other party seemed to keep avoiding him. If it was really between him and Sonia
Ya dances the first dance, so she can figure things out while dancing.
"Okay, Misha." Yakov nodded and said, "Since you said so, I will dance the first dance with Sonia." After saying that, he extended his hand to Sonia: "Please, Sonia.
Ya, it’s my honor to dance the first dance with you.”
Sonia didn't want to dance with Yakov, but since Sokov had already said so, she couldn't do it in front of so many people and made Yakov unable to get off the stage, so she could only reach out and hold Yakov's hand.
, stood up with his help and walked outside the lounge.
Yakov took Sonia for a few steps, but found that Afunin and others were still standing there, so he said to them: "Comrade commanders, what are you still standing there for? Hurry up.
Go out and dance.”
Sokov took the opportunity to wave his hands at a few people and said smoothly: "Let's all go dance. I want to chat with this girl here."
Afuning and others saw that Sokov really didn't want to go out to dance, so they no longer forced themselves to do so. They raised their hands in salute and turned to leave.
After everyone left, Sokov turned around and said to Mordyukova who was still standing aside: "Please sit down, Mordyukova, I want to have a good chat with you."
And since Mordyukova knew Sokov's identity, she was shocked. She didn't expect that the man she had just chatted and laughed with was actually the highest-ranking person in Solon City. At this moment, she heard that Sokov
He asked himself to sit down, said "oh" quickly, and then sat down on the sofa.
Seeing Mordyukova's nervous look, Sokov said with a smile: "Mordyukova, don't be so nervous, we are considered friends. I want to chat with you like a friend. You have no objection."
Bar?"
"What do you want to talk about?"
"Tell me about your boss, the lawyer Wang Juntao who was taken away by my subordinates."
Mordyukova calmed down and began to introduce her former boss to Sokov: "Wang is a famous lawyer, but he is not a good lawyer. Every time he helps people with lawsuits, he always makes them bankrupt.
If someone comes to him for a lawsuit, and if he backs out midway and wants to withdraw the lawsuit, I'm sorry, he will become the other party's lawyer and continue to fight the lawsuit until both parties are bankrupt..."
When Mordyukova spoke, Sokov did not interrupt, but listened quietly to the other party's story. Finally, after she finished speaking, he asked: "Mordyukova, I want to ask
Let me ask you, why do you want to work for such a person?"
Mordyukova shrugged her shoulders and said helplessly: "I can't help it. I do this to support my family. You know, the status of us Russians is very low here, and we are all engaged in the lowest level jobs. And
I work in a law firm, which is considered a decent job."
After Sokov waited for Mordyukova to finish speaking, he asked: "If I kill Wang Juntao, wouldn't you lose your job?"
After hearing this, Mordjokova smiled lightly and said, "Ever since you occupied Sauron, I have been mentally prepared for this."
This time it was Sokov's turn to be curious: "Oh, you have been mentally prepared for a long time."
"Although I am also a Russian, in your eyes, I am a White Russian and your enemy." Mordyukova said with a sad face: "After you have dealt with the queen, the next target to be eliminated is,
Isn’t it a Belarusian like me?”
"No, Mordyukova, how could it be possible?" Sokov asked with a smile: "Why do you have such an idea?"
"Is not it?"
"Of course not." Sokov said: "Your fathers escaped from Russia in 1918, and it has been more than 20 years now. To us, you are no longer our enemies, but our relatives.
.Maybe one day in the future, I will take the initiative to invite you back to my country."
Sokov knew very well that the situation of Belarus in China was not good. Taking the Belarus in Shanghai as an example, most of them had little wealth and skills. Men mostly worked as mercenaries or bodyguards, and only a few were able to do business; women's employment was even more difficult.
Difficulty, nearly a quarter of young Belarusian women make a living as dancers. For Mordyukova, who is far away in Solon, becoming an employee of a law firm is considered a legitimate career.
After Mordyukova waited for Sokov to finish speaking, she thought of his special status and asked tentatively: "Comrade General, do you have any inside information?"
"What kind of inside information I have, I'm just guessing." Sokov looked at Mordyukova and said: "In the Patriotic War that ended not long ago, our country's casualties reached tens of millions. Some
After the war, there were only tens of millions of people left in the city that had a population of more than 100 or 200,000 people before the war. If someone proposed to the Supreme Command at this time to let the Belarusians who escaped from Russia come back, they would definitely get
passed."
Mordyukova's eyes lit up. She grabbed Sokov's hand and asked excitedly: "Comrade General, I wonder if you are willing to propose such an initiative. If we can really return to our motherland, I will
I believe everyone will remember you."
Although Sokov knew that Belarusian exiles in China had three endings: first, they migrated to other countries; second, they returned to the Soviet Union in the 1950s; third, they stayed in China and became a minority in China——
Russians. However, the large-scale return of Belarus to the Soviet Union only started after Stalin's death. It would be a bit too forward to make such a suggestion at this time, and I am afraid the effect will not be very good.
However, Sokov did not want to disappoint Mordyukova, so he said tactfully: "Don't worry, Mordyukova, I will ask someone to report the matter to the Supreme Command. But whether this matter can be successful
But, I don’t know very well, so I see you clearly, don’t mention this matter to anyone until the matter becomes clear. Can you do that?”
Faced with the conditions proposed by Sokov, Mordyukova thought for a long time, and finally nodded and said: "Okay, Comrade General, I promise you that you will never leak this matter to anyone, including my parents."
Inside."
After Sonia danced a few songs with Yakov, she didn't want to continue dancing. But the dance music started again. Facing Yakov's stretched out hand, she shook her head and said, "I'm sorry, Yasha, I'm a little uncomfortable."
, I don’t want to dance anymore.”
"Ah, you are not feeling well." Yakov quickly said with concern: "How about I send you back first."
Since Sonia saw Sokov here, she had made up her mind to have more contact with Sokov. Now when she thought of Sokov chatting with the Belarusian girl named Mordyukova in the lounge, she felt
She hated her so much. When she heard Yakov said he wanted to send her back, she quickly shook her head and said, "I just want to find a quiet place to sit. You can go find another girl to dance."
Sonia wanted to wait for Yakov to bring the other girls to the dance floor, then sneak into the lounge to see what Sokov and Mordyukova were talking about. Unexpectedly, Yakov actually said on his own initiative: "Sonia
, if you want to find a quiet place to rest, I suggest you go to the lounge, Sokov is there and can chat with you."
Hearing what Yakov said, Sonia couldn't help feeling ecstatic. She nodded quickly and said, "Okay, Yasha, I'll go to the lounge first."
When Sonia walked into the lounge, she happened to see Mordyukova grabbing Sokov's hand and talking non-stop. Seeing this scene, Sonia felt very uncomfortable, and she quickly and heavily
He coughed a few times to remind the people in the room of his arrival.
When Sokov heard the cough, he turned around and saw that Sonia was here. He quickly broke away from Mordyukova's hand and asked Sonia: "Sonia, why don't you dance anymore?"
"I'm a little tired after dancing several times." Sonia said prevaricatingly: "I wanted to find a place to be quiet and quiet, and I accidentally came here." At this point, she paused intentionally for a moment, and then asked hypocritically, "
I didn’t disturb your chat, did I?”
Sokov was not afraid of the shadow. He and Mordyukova were just chatting, and there was nothing excessive, so he naturally did not feel guilty. When Sonia asked, he replied casually: "Just chatting casually."
, if you are interested, you can also sit down and listen to Mordyukova telling her story."
"If that's the case, then I'm not polite." Sonia sat down next to Sokov and looked at Mordyukova and said: "Mordyukova, I also want to hear your story.
,You do not mind right?"
Faced with this sudden lightbulb, Mordyukova did not dare to express her dissatisfaction even if she felt dissatisfied, because she could not figure out what the relationship between Sokov and Sonia was. What if she made a mistake?
As a result, Sokov was unwilling to speak up for his group, which meant that the gain outweighed the loss. So she nodded and pretended to be generous and said: "It doesn't matter, you can listen if you want to, as long as you don't dislike me for being too long-winded."
