?As April is approaching, the warm spring breeze has begun to visit the sky over Khabarovsk, and for Leningrad, the signs of spring seem to have not flashed at all, and the ice on the Neva River is still thick and tight, even if it is There is no danger if a few adults step on it. . qβ5. /

Leaning on a small cane, Victor, supported by the guards, walked along the long river bank, his frowning frown, which seemed to show his anxious and restless mood at this time.

"Maybe I'm really old, and it's time for a complete rest." On the ice, several young people were skating along the river bank, and their flexible movements showed their youthful vitality. Victor stopped, tightened the coat wrapped around him, and sighed with emotion.

"Little Fox" left Khabarovsk yesterday, and his plane will arrive at Leningrad International Airport on time at 5 pm today. Just an hour ago, news came from Moscow that there was a small-scale riot last night in the 34th Airborne Division of the Far East Military Region, which was stationed in the suburbs of the capital. They looted at gunpoint and clashed with local police officers. One police officer was killed in the shootout between the two sides.

As Yelena had guessed, Victor was very annoyed by this incident. He knew that his precious son-in-law saw through everything, and this riot caused by the soldiers was probably instigated by him.

Of course, the most troublesome problem is not limited to this. Since the day before yesterday, the attitude of the Cheka Club has also changed. According to Vladimir, the top management of the Cheka Club has changed almost overnight. Attitude, they made it clear that they did not want Leningrad to make any drastic actions during Guo Shouyun's arrival, because that would directly damage the interests of the federation. In order to improve the persuasiveness of this suggestion, they also provided a series of proof materials: the 34th Airborne Division stationed in the suburbs of Moscow has entered a state of emergency before the war. Its division headquarters not only strengthened the defense, but also put a large number of ammunition into the hands of the grassroots troops. There is no doubt that this indicates that a large-scale military riot is brewing in the vicinity of Moscow. If the situation changes, the consequences may be unpredictable.

What is "God's sins are especially resentful. Self-made sins can't live" ah, now Victor understands this truth, and he suddenly realizes that the reason why his precious son-in-law can come to this day is not simply because of him. With the support of his father-in-law behind his back, the rise of the Guo family and the intensification of the Far East's tendency to become independent were originally brought about by those high-ranking figures in Moscow. More precisely, this country gave Guo Shouyun a chance to rise. Likewise, it is the country that has led itself step by step into a tragic road ahead of disintegration.

"Remember that April 16th thirty years ago?" As Victor looked at the young people on the river in a daze, a long-lost and familiar voice. Suddenly it sounded behind him, "At that time, two young young men with great ambitions met at the recruiting office by the river. One of them came from a wealthy family, his father was a famous general, and the other Well, it's a normal student who came out of the backcountry. The son of a wealthy family is arrogant and arrogant. No matter what he does, he believes that his decision is the best..."

"And the native leopard from the countryside is even more ignorant. He clearly doesn't have much ink in his stomach, and he still tries to pretend to be knowledgeable, pointing at others and making irresponsible remarks." Victor didn't look back. said hurriedly.

"Hehe, it stands to reason that such two bad-tempered people are going to die. No matter what, they can't get together, but fate is so mysterious. The two young people quarreled, evolved into a big fight, and finally got together. I slipped, and both fell into the flowing Neva River." The familiar voice behind him continued.

"Yeah, in an instant, the two arrogant roosters turned into horrible chickens." A smile appeared on Victor's face. He picked up his cane and tapped lightly on the fence by the river. The interface said, "But it was such a horrible appearance that they found something in common with each other - stubbornness."

"Time flies so fast. In a blink of an eye. Thirty years have passed." A figure flashed behind him. Looks like a lot of good for Zyuganov. Quietly stood in front of the guardrail. He looked at the crowd playing under the river. Said with emotion. "The two young men who were still young. They both turned into shriveled and dying old men. But their stubbornness to each other. It doesn't seem to have changed at all."

"People. Some things are easy to change. But there are also some things. They can't be changed in a lifetime." He turned slightly. Victor looked at the opponent in front of him who had known him for decades. sighed. "I am. Why aren't you?"

Glancing at him. Zyuganov turned his head again. He glanced around the river bank. It seems that he is looking for the recruiting station when he enlisted in the army. After a long while. Then he said softly, "Is it true?"

"Although I don't want it to be true. But the truth is the truth. Even if I can lie, I can't fool the **** of death standing beside me." Victor naturally knew what the other party was asking. He shrugged. answered bluntly.

"Why didn't you notify me?" Zyuganov said in a deep voice.

"What do you want me to say?" Victor laughed. "Oh. My dear Gennady. I'm dying. For the sake of decades of friendship. Leave Leningrad alone. Is that what?"

Zyuganov didn't speak, he stretched out his big hand and slapped it **** the stone guardrail.

"Why did you suddenly think of coming to Leningrad?" Glancing at his old friend's swollen palm, Victor smiled, "I don't think you meant to urge me to die early, right?"

"What do you think?" Zyuganov turned his head, Shen Rong said.

"Are you planning to see how I clean up the little fox?" Victor guessed.

"On the contrary," said Zyuganov, shrugging, "I'm here to stop you because . Something stupid happened."

"Hehe, by your auspicious words, I am very calm now," Victor shook his head and smiled, "I know there are many people waiting to see my jokes, but what I want to say is that for my ambition, I don't mind being in Life is coming to an end with a bad name on my back. And I believe... as Trotsky said in his campaign for unity and discipline: I am by no means the last among us to defend He who defends and promotes this movement is not the last to ruthlessly oppose all attempts to sabotage the movement. What is right, in the end, will be followed, and what is wrong, will be despised sooner or later. Gennady, I My friend, I have seen the tombstone on my tomb, and at the same time, I have also made my final choice, so... how about you, what eyes do you plan to use to continue to look at this we once, even until A country that is still fighting for it? Do you want to see it as a bargaining chip to make peace with others, or as a salary in exchange for your own glory and wealth, or a life subject worth sacrificing everything for? This question , have you figured it out?"

"I figured it out clearly," Zyuganov said without hesitation, "perhaps it was because I figured it out clearly that I came to stop you. You must realize that the country you are allegiance to is no longer the Back then, the Union of Soviet Republics that could easily unite and fight the crisis together was a... a loose federation that was thoroughly eroded by depravity and corruption from the inside out. It couldn't withstand any wind and rain. , can't stand even a slight storm, any random storm can blow it all over the place, and now, all you have to do is to induce such a storm. Your Stubbornness may be the last force that pushes this country into the real abyss."

"Did the little fox do you any favors so that you acted so diligently as a lobbyist for him." Victor said with a light snort.

"The facts are in front of you, do I still need to act as a lobbyist?" Zyuganov shook his head and said, "I think the only thing you need to do now is to take a good rest and enjoy this short and limited time. Let's talk about life. To solve the problems of the Far East, all we need is time, and you, old friend, what you lack most right now is time. Because of this, you have become eager for quick success, even without any scruples. Calm down, Think again, maybe you will find your mistake."

Victor didn't speak, he lowered his head, as if digesting what Zyuganov had just said.

"Oh, I almost forgot, this time I came here to bring you some good news," Xu Shi thought of something, Zyuganov smiled, "After our unremitting efforts, the Federal Supreme Court made a decision yesterday. In the end, it was decided that the trial of the Kryuchkov comrades by the radicals was wrong, and if nothing else, they will be released in July.”

"Really?" Victor asked subconsciously, a trace of ruddy appearing on his face.

"Really," Zyuganov nodded, "I don't have to lie to you about this, because it won't take long for you to get the news yourself."

"Hehe, that's really good news, a... good news that makes me feel ashamed," Victor said with a sigh.
