Rebirth in 1985

Chapter 190: Establishing Top-Level Relationships

The car sped along the highway in Moscow and soon came to a villa with Russian architectural features. No, it should not be called a villa. It would be more appropriate to describe it as a manor, because the entire villa covers an area of ​​astonishing size. A five-story Russian-style building stood on a vast lawn, with its back against the green hills and the other three sides surrounded by high walls. There was only a cement-paved path in the middle of the building opposite the gate, and garden art, birdsong and flowers could be seen everywhere on both sides of the path.

Looking through the car window, even Lu Shaohua, who knows nothing about military affairs, knows that this place is definitely a place that is easy to defend but difficult to attack. Although the manor looks prosperous, quiet and warm on the surface, in fact, every design of this building has been carefully considered. There are mountains behind the building, which provides an extra layer of security. If an accident occurs, it is easy to retreat. It can be said that you can attack or defend. If you retreat to the mountainous area behind you, it is almost safe. After all, the few people who came to the Soviet Union with Chen Guobang are all retired special forces. If you fight them in the mountains, it is almost the same as seeking death.

The car stopped steadily in front of the building, and several dark-skinned men in military uniforms, with pistols on their waists, armed to the teeth, walked out of the building. After a closer look, Lu Shaohua realized that these were the special forces who had come to the Soviet Union with Chen Guobang.

"Haha! Thank you all for your hard work. Please come in." Lu Shaohua got out of the car and nodded with a smile as a greeting.

Lu Shaohua knew all these people, and their names were deeply engraved in his mind. He had spent some time with them when he was in Shenzhen, and although they were not close friends, they were not cold to each other either.

"It's not hard, haha!" A taller man standing in the middle scratched his head and said with a simple smile.

Lu Shaohua knew the person who was speaking. His name was Li Zhijie. He was Chen Guobang's former subordinate in the army and also a comrade-in-arms in the special forces. He had a relatively cheerful personality and liked to joke about everything. He was an outlier among the special forces. According to Chen Guobang, he was the happy pill in the special forces.

It makes sense. People who join the special forces are generally more ruthless. Maybe in the eyes of outsiders, they are cold-blooded and kill without blinking an eye. In fact, if you ask them to pick one person to kill someone, they probably won't even blink an eye. That's why Li Zhijie is called an outlier in the special forces.

"Brother Zhijie!" Lu Shaohua called out, and a man-to-man hug came. Speaking of Li Zhijie, he was also the one who got along best with Lu Shaohua among the group, perhaps because of his cheerful personality.

"Okay, everyone go in." said Chen Guobang who had just got off the car.

Soldiers have to obey orders as their first duty. Even though those people are no longer special forces, they still keep the good habits. Now they are in the Soviet Union, and Chen Guobang is like their highest officer. Chen Guobang's words are orders. Once an order is given, the people below will naturally obey the order and walk inside in an orderly manner.

After everyone had gone in, Lu Shaohua and Chen Guobang walked in side by side. After all the hard work of coming to the Soviet Union, it was inevitable to chat with a few of them and learn about their lives.

"Oh! Brother Zhijie, you look impressive with a gun on your waist, don't you?" Lu Shaohua said jokingly. He also saw that from those people, Lu Shaohua saw that they were very happy, and the reason for their happiness was the gun on their waist.

"Of course." Li Zhijie pulled out a dark pistol of unknown model from the holster on his waist and waved it in front of Lu Shaohua, saying in a cocky manner.

"Hmph! Put your gun away, kid." Before Lu Shaohua could say anything, Chen Guobang, who was standing next to him, interrupted him seriously. After he finished speaking, he turned his head and explained to Lu Shaohua: "These guys haven't played with guns for a long time. Now that they have guns, they play with them all day long."

"Yeah!" Lu Shaohua completely understood this mentality. As a special forces soldier who always carried a gun with him, he would definitely feel uncomfortable if he suddenly retired and was without a gun. But now he has a gun again, it's like going back to the past. How can he not play with it every day?

At last, after Lu Shaohua finished his response, he glanced at them and said, "Okay, everyone go do something else. Brother Guobang and I have something to discuss."

When Lu Shaohua said this, Chen Guobang knew that Lu Shaohua had something important to tell him. Almost as soon as Lu Shaohua finished speaking, Chen Guobang spoke up. "Let's go upstairs and talk. It's quieter there."

"it is good."

……

Walking up the white staircase, he came to a study-style room on the third floor. As soon as he entered, Chen Guobang closed the door tightly and then locked it.

Originally, Lu Shaohua wanted to wait until tomorrow to discuss this matter, but for some reason, he suddenly became energetic when he arrived at his residence. All the tiredness he had just felt after getting off the plane was swept away, and he felt full of energy. So he thought of taking advantage of this energy to first understand the situation in the Soviet Union, so that he could arrange the next plan based on the current situation.

After sitting down on the soft sofa, Lu Shaohua asked, "Brother, how is your relationship with the military? What level of people have you made friends with?"

The level that Lu Shaohua asked about refers to the position in the military. For example, a general in the military is the highest level, while the people below the general are relatively lower in level.

"Well! It's still a little short of the top level." After thinking for a moment, Chen Guobang had a clear idea in his mind before answering.

Lu Shaohua nodded, and after a long pause, he asked, "Is there any way to make friends with top figures?"

"Yes." Chen Guobang nodded seriously, and Shi Ji continued, "It's just that the current funds don't support it."

"Haha!" Lu Shaohua laughed. What is capital? It's nothing but money. How could Lu Shaohua be without money at this time? The thing he lacked the most was money. More than 420 billion US dollars, what a huge fortune!

But Lu Shaohua laughed not because Chen Guobang said he had no money, but because he saw that Chen Guobang had changed, that he could face reality, that his mind had opened up, and that he knew that he could use money to get through the last relationship. This was a happy laugh. If Chen Guobang was still as stubborn as before, it would be very difficult for Lu Shaohua to get things done.

"Haha! Big brother, money is no problem. I will give it to you tomorrow. Your task is to establish this relationship as soon as possible. I have extremely important things to do, and I also need such a relationship." After laughing, Lu Shaohua said with great enthusiasm.

Money can be earned again, and there are plenty of opportunities to earn, but there is no guarantee of connections. Now there is such a good opportunity, and Chen Guobang is also capable of establishing this relationship. As long as the relationship is established, why would Lu Shaohua be afraid of not making money?

"Okay! I'll start tomorrow." Chen Guobang said seriously. He had always been constrained by money, and the money he earned from smuggling daily necessities was really too little for him to use, otherwise he would have established this relationship long ago.

"Well, let's stop here today. I'll go and rest for a while. We can talk about it tomorrow morning if there is anything." Lu Shaohua yawned, and a trace of fatigue appeared on his face, which was energetic just now.

"Okay, I'll take you to your room." Chen Guobang stood up and said.

……

There was no conversation that night. Perhaps because he had been on the plane for several hours, Lu Shaohua slept soundly in his bed in a foreign country. He was awakened by the loud command just after dawn. He rubbed his eyes, walked to the window and looked outside through the glass. Eleven people lined up in a neat team and ran around the open space in front of the building. Li Shangkui and Zhang Qingyun were at the back of the team, and Chen Guobang was beside him, taking on the responsibility of leading the team.

“1, 2…”

……

……

The sonorous and powerful commandments kept coming out of Chen Guobang's mouth, and the nine people, who were as neat as a straight line, raised their feet and landed on the ground in a very rhythmic manner. When their feet landed on the ground, the sound made by the close contact between the shoes and the ground was also unusually rhythmic.

“1、2、1、2、3、4……”宏亮的声音回荡在整个庄园里面。

When the sound penetrated the window and reached Lu Shaohua's ears, Lu Shaohua sighed in a different way. "Even the momentum when shouting commands is beyond the reach of ordinary soldiers."

When he opened the window, a cold current suddenly hit him, and Lu Shaohua shivered all over. It was the transition from spring to winter, and the weather in the Soviet Union was still relatively cold. In addition, Lu Shaohua had long been accustomed to sleeping naked, so it was normal for him to shiver when he was hit by a cold current. He quickly restored the window to its original position. He had already gotten used to the climate in Hong Kong, and had forgotten that he was in the Soviet Union at this time, and the temperature was completely different.

After getting dressed, Lu Shaohua no longer had the heart to watch Chen Guobang and the others exercise. He washed up and went downstairs to sit in the hall on the first floor. It was unknown how long they had been in the hall before Chen Guobang and the others finished their exercise and walked in. When they saw Lu Shaohua sitting there with his eyes closed, they greeted Lu Shaohua and then went back to their own rooms to wash off their sweaty bodies.

"Brother! I'll wait for you on the third floor. Please come over later." Lu Shaohua glanced at Chen Guobang and said lightly.

"Well! You go up first, I'll go up after I take a shower." Chen Guobang knew that Lu Shaohua had something to talk to him about, so he nodded and said without wasting any words.

……

Arriving at the study-like room he had been in yesterday, Lu Shaohua found a chair to sit down, and looked around. It was only at this point that he was in the mood to pay close attention to the layout of the room. Yesterday he had only taken a cursory glance.

The white tables, white chairs, and white walls made Lu Shaohua feel a little strange. Did the designer of this building like white? As his sight shifted, Lu Shaohua finally saw a place that was not white. That was the floor. It was covered with pink tiles and a pink carpet. There was a strange pattern embroidered on the carpet. Although he couldn't understand the pattern, Lu Shaohua's first impression was that it had a Soviet flavor.

With a "click" sound, the door suddenly opened, which drew Lu Shaohua's attention back. His eyes focused into a point and shot towards the door.

"Brother! You're here." When Lu Shaohua saw that the person coming was Chen Guobang, he smiled and said.

"Yeah!" Chen Guobang responded, locked the door, and then walked to the chair next to Lu Shaohua and sat down. "Xiaohua, if you have anything to say, just tell me. I have an appointment with someone and I have to leave to meet that person in half an hour."

Chen Guobang added a breath when he mentioned "that person", obviously wanting to express something. A smart person like Lu Shaohua would know who "that person" is. It must be a leading figure in the military, otherwise Chen Guobang would not be so cautious and afraid of being late.

"Okay, I only ask one question. We can talk about the other things when we have time." Lu Shaohua said lightly.

"Say, what's going on?"
