"I forgot where I heard it." Sokov said with some embarrassment: "I heard from others that Zhdanov and your father are related. I was thinking at that time that you and your brother's wife are both the same.
If she is not Zhdanov’s daughter, then the only possibility is that your sister is married to Zhdanov’s son.”
After listening to this tongue twister, Yakov was also a little confused: "I think it is a rumor. My sister and her husband have a very good relationship, and it is impossible to divorce. As long as she is not divorced, it is impossible to marry a Japanese.
The son of Zhdanov. The rumor that my father and Zhdanov are related is undoubtedly a rumor spread by people with ulterior motives."
…
The blockade of the embassy lasted until the fifth day, when Sokov finally waited for Zhukov's messenger.
The messenger was a lieutenant. After he raised his hand and saluted Sokov and Yakov, he handed an order to them: "Two comrades generals, this is an order given to you by Marshal Zhukov, saying to blockade the British Embassy.
The purpose has been achieved and the blockade on them can be lifted."
Sokov took the order, read it carefully, and found that just as the messenger said, Sokov and Yakov were asked to lead the troops back to the Kremlin barracks and wait for the next order. He took a special look.
The signature on the back is only that of Zhukov, and there is no signature of Beria.
After sending away the messenger, Sokov said to Yakov: "Yasha, our mission has been completed and we can evacuate the British Embassy."
"Has the British apologized to us?"
"I don't know." Sokov shook his head and said, "Our current task is to take the troops back to the Kremlin barracks first. Marshal Zhukov will send someone to inform us of what to do next. As for whether the British side has informed us
Apologize, you can ask Comrade Molotov about this, he is the People’s Commissar of Foreign Affairs and should be very clear about this matter.”
"Forget it, I don't think it's necessary to disturb Comrade Molotov for such a trivial matter." Yakov waved his hand, rejected Sokov's proposal, walked to the door, opened the door and shouted outside.
: "Lieutenant Colonel Bezikov!"
Hearing Yakov's shout, Bezikov immediately ran over: "General Yakov, what are your instructions?"
"I just received an order from my superiors saying that our mission has been completed." Yakov said to Bezikov: "You should gather the troops immediately and prepare to evacuate the embassy area."
"Evacuate now?"
"Why, you still don't want to evacuate?" Yakov asked.
"No, no." Bezikov shook his head and said, "I just think it's a bit too sudden."
"Comrade Lieutenant Colonel, we have been here for five days and have taught the British people enough lessons." Yakov said: "Now, it is our commanders' turn to go back and rest. Okay, hurry up and assemble the troops.
Bar."
Bezikov agreed, turned around and ran away.
A few minutes later, Sokov, who was staying in the duty room, heard whistles ringing outside. It should be that Bezikov was gathering troops and making preparations for evacuation.
The movements of the Soviet commanders and fighters outside were naturally clearly seen by the embassy staff inside the building.
The first secretary hurried into the ambassador's office and reported emotionally: "Mr. Ambassador, good news, good news, the Russians outside are about to evacuate."
"Really?" After hearing the first secretary's report, the ambassador got up and walked towards the window, wanting to see it with his own eyes.
"Yes, Mr. Ambassador." The first secretary followed the ambassador and continued: "I saw them gathering outside with my own eyes, and some people were dismantling the tents set up in the courtyard. This is an obvious sign that they want to evacuate.
.”
The ambassador came to the window and looked outside. Sure enough, he saw the Soviet commanders and fighters who had blocked all exits of the embassy were lining up in the open space. Moreover, several tents erected in the middle of the open space had been knocked down, and someone was packing things nearby.
"Great, this is great." When the ambassador saw this situation, he couldn't help crying with joy: "These damn Russians are finally going to evacuate." Then he ordered the first secretary, "You
Go and call the counselor, I have something to tell him."
Before the secretary could leave, the counselor rushed into the room like a gust of wind and said with excitement: "Mr. Ambassador, did you see it? Those damn Russians are gathering troops and it looks like they will evacuate from us soon.
.This is really a happy thing."
"That's right, Mr. Counselor." The ambassador nodded and said to the counselor: "Two days ago, we notified the intelligence station outside with a secret letter and asked them to help us deliver the news to London. Have they sent a reply?"
"Not yet, Mr. Ambassador." The counselor shook his head and said, "We sent people from the purchasing department to go out to purchase, but the Russians didn't let our people go out at all. They just asked us to give them the purchase list and let them purchase it.
After the ingredients are delivered, they will be delivered to us. I have carefully checked the ingredients delivered, and there is no information brought in from outside intelligence stations at all."
The ambassador was silent for a while, and then said: "Mr. Counselor, after all the Russians have withdrawn, immediately send two reliable staff to our underground intelligence station to learn about the situation from them and find out what happened.
Something happened."
"After the Russians withdraw, I will take them there myself."
After another half hour, there was gradually no movement outside.
The ambassador walked to the window and saw that all the Soviet commanders and fighters outside had evacuated. Everything seemed to be calm again. He turned to the counselor and said: "You can take him away now. We have lost contact with the intelligence station for too long.
You have to figure out what's going on outside as soon as possible."
"Okay, I'll go now."
After the counselor left, the ambassador picked up the phone, dialed a number, and said into the phone: "Mr. Major, please come to my office. I have something important to give you."
Not long after I put down the phone, the military attaché came in from outside: "Mr. Ambassador, what do you want from me?"
"All the Russians outside have been evacuated." The ambassador said to the military attaché: "Immediately send someone to guard the outside door and don't let any random people break in."
The ambassador saw the soldiers sent by the military attache standing at the door of the embassy with weapons again. The counselor also took a car and two staff members to go to the food purchasing point, which was actually an intelligence station, to learn about the situation. He couldn't help but feel
I breathed a sigh of relief and felt that my life seemed to be back to normal again.
What he didn't expect was that within an hour of being happy, a piece of bad news came that shocked him.
The counselor who went to the intelligence station came to his office in a panic and reported to him: "Mr. Ambassador, it's bad, our intelligence station has been closed down."
"What, our intelligence station was taken down?" The ambassador asked with a shocked face: "What's going on? Why did the Russians take down our intelligence station?"
"Maybe, I think it may be that the Russians want to completely cut off our connection with London." The counselor guessed: "It is precisely because of this that they sent people to take down our intelligence station here."
The ambassador walked back and forth in the room with his hands behind his back, thinking in his mind why the Soviet side suddenly took action and took away its intelligence station in Moscow. Could it be that there was a mistake somewhere, and the Soviet side discovered it?
The blockade of the embassy lasted until the fifth day, when Sokov finally waited for Zhukov's messenger.
