East Berlin's June Boat Song

===========================

He went to West Berlin in the name of executing the traitors, and after the end, he arranged for the two accompanying Stasi to go to the Condam Street to obtain another intelligence mission, and then he concealed his whereabouts and tried every means to get rid of his followers. Behind the GRU and KGB.I had wandered around West Berlin all day and arrived at the address Richard had given me just before midnight.

This is a snooker club in the western suburbs, its neon lights glowing with the decay of capitalism.After confirming that I was not being followed, I walked into the lobby of the club. After saying that I was looking for Mr. Helms, through a field of bright lights and the sound of clinking billiard balls, the waiter took me to the hidden room. The private elevator behind a hidden door went straight up to the second floor.

I met Richard in a dark blue nightgown in an extremely luxurious study room on the second floor. He seemed to know that I would come tonight, and he even thoughtfully made two cups of hot coffee.

"Want milk?" He looked up at me.

This time, I realized I had to stay calm, so I nodded and said, "Two more sugar cubes."

Richard was taken aback, and suddenly hooked the corners of his lips: "Eating too much sugar at night will stimulate your insulin, but you are still young..."

The milk smudged into ring-shaped patterns. Richard's hands that had performed surgery on me were now holding a pair of silver tweezers. in coffee.

I walked across to his desk and sat down, took off the scarf and put it on my lap, picked up the coffee and drank it down.

"Don't burn it." He looked at me lovingly, and the unfeigned concern in his eyes was disgusting.

"So, you already knew everything, didn't you?" I went straight to the point.

"Why are you always in such a hurry?"

"Or efficiency." I shrugged. "Don't forget I'm a German."

Richard picked up the coffee, smiled helplessly, and took a sip.The night outside the window behind him was thick and deep, and the soft lights on both sides enveloped him like a mist.If he is not my enemy, he is as elegant as a pleasing painting at this moment.

"You know, I never thought of hurting you, I just held the idea that you could be on my side, but now I feel how ridiculous this idea is." Look at me, seem to be talking to myself.

"Later, I was thinking, what is the significance of this plan? Because you can't do it at all. The most vulnerable thing in this world is emotion, but the most unbreakable thing is also emotion."

"But you didn't give up." I said lightly.

Richard looked up at me and smiled: "Of course, as I said earlier, your value is not only in intelligence. There are many ways to use you."

He said the word "use" openly, but said that he never thought of hurting me. I couldn't help laughing, and felt that his logic was really incomprehensible.

"Remember what I told you? This world is nothing more than using each other to threaten each other. Since you have come to me, it proves that you know everything." Richard put down his coffee and looked at me calmly: "Since If you're so particular about efficiency, I won't talk nonsense."

"You care about him and want to save him, but you have no choice, so you come to me, is that the reason?"

"Yes." I said calmly, "You are waiting here for me, don't you just want to hear my answer?"

"You are right, I knew you would come because I gave you enough hints. However, you have to know that on our side, everything in the free market has to be exchanged at equal value."

Richard's gray eyes shot a gleam: "Actually, I also have something I really want to know."

"But what you want to know, I don't necessarily know."

"No, you know, you absolutely know, otherwise why should I come to talk to you?"

Richard said quietly: "I know that there is a very powerful person lurking on our side, so powerful that I can't even tell whether he is in the CIA or MI56. You must know that all the news at that time was passed through special Encryption. But I think you must be very clear, because according to our investigation, the Berlin Tunnel exposed in [-], yes, is the failure of our 'Operation Gold', which has a lot to do with you."

Richard narrowed his eyes slightly: "After all, Allen died under your hands, didn't he?"

special encryption?How do I remember George saying that his arrogant colleague was using normal encryption so he could easily intercept and crack it?But now is not the time to think about it, and my expression darkens.

"So?" I looked at him coldly: "Do you want me to tell the spy who leaked the gold operation to the Soviet Union?"

Richard pursed his lips and chuckled, lowered his eyes and nodded, "Yes, this is very important to us."

I lay back and looked at him jokingly: "Then why didn't your Olof tell you?"

"Oh, Olof...Olof..." Richard stood up suddenly and started pacing: "No one can absolutely own Olof, because he is the freest bird in the world, of course, I only realized it later. Besides, Rhine, you should also know that in this world, there is nothing more frightening and worrying than a top KGB."

"So you want to hold him hostage? Use me?"

"You're not that stupid. At first, I wanted to take you as a hostage to General Azrael, but later I found out that our Olof also followed your tricks—you must know that he took you and Azrael in the first place." You told us about General Zrel, is he smart or stupid?"

I sneered and said, "How can you trust a KGB's feelings? Maybe he's just putting on a show for you."

"Oh Rhine, you've been the Stasi for so many years, don't you understand? Spies are people too, whether it's the KGB, MI6 or our CIA, who can truly be unintentional?"

"If you are a person, you will have a heart. If you have a heart, you will have love. If you have love, you will have weaknesses."

Richard's expression was full of complacency, I sighed helplessly and shook my head with a smile, I didn't care about his ambition at all, and just said lightly: "That day, my father and I walked by the lake for a long time and talked a lot. I looked at it from a distance. But no matter how you look at it, you can’t get close, and you can’t hear what we are talking about. Richard, guess what, did I mention you in that conversation with Randall? ?”

Richard's smug smile froze on his face, his pupils shrank sharply, and his expression lost its naturalness in an instant.

By the way, you guessed it.Richard can't shoot at me at all, he can never hurt my life, because my face, which is [-]% like Randall, will be his only weakness.

A person's multiple references to the past will only reveal the softest part of his heart. I hate myself to the point of playing with people's hearts, and I am secretly happy that the effect is surprisingly good.

I raised the corners of my mouth and said meaningfully: "If Olof knows, you will never be able to touch me. How can you coerce him?"

He quickly straightened his expression, paced briskly in front of the window, and looked at me with a condescending smile: "But is this the point of your coming to me? How to coerce him is not something I should consider Question? Besides, Rhine, don't you realize that I'm using him to blackmail you now?"

Stepping on his rhetorical question, he approached step by step and put his hand on my shoulder.

"A person's potential is endless. If you can come here alone today to find the "elixir" for him, there will be a next time. If there is a next time, there will be countless times. Rhine, it seems that you still haven't listened to my words go."

He spoke in such a kind and gentle tone that I shuddered so hard that I had to grit my teeth to keep calm.

"So, this is the first transaction between us? But Richard, you have never introduced your prescription to me in detail."

Richard looked down at me, and smiled with appreciation: "I have to say, you also have the potential to become my opponent, so let me tell you about this prescription. Rhine, you know, like Alan Disobedient abandoned sons, we have many in East Germany, not only in East Germany, but even in the Soviet Union, to keep your Olov, you just need to find a perfect scapegoat."

"One won't work, just two, until you pick your Orlof clean, believe me, I have that ability, but the premise is, you have to tell us who the mouse is hiding on our side? How? , Is that person also very important to you? My dear Rhine, as an intelligence officer, how can I hold so many people in my heart? One is dangerous enough, just look at you."

He seemed to be blaming me, my heart was beating fast, should I sell George for Sasha's safety?This choice is too cruel.

Time seemed to stand still, and his gaze scraped me layer by layer like a scraper.Unconsciously, those two faces came to my heart, and every smile and every tear broke my heart.

No, Richard cannot be trusted. Even if I tell George, he will never let Sasha go. As long as I am with him, he will try his best to use Sasha. With me and Sasha in his hands, he will Can further threaten Julian.

He had a wishful thinking, and I almost fell for him!

Suddenly I shuddered and realized that I had made a mistake coming here... I hadn't thought of a way out at all.If Richard is forcing me down now, he has succeeded in a way.

I swallowed to relieve my tension, and then grinned with a frank and sincere smile.

"Since you want to know so much, I'll tell you."

Richard's eyes suddenly lit up: "All ears."

"It's Frank Rollett." I gazed into his eyes and said word for word, "Frank Rollett."

Richard's kind face froze for a moment, and then gradually distorted. The anger of being teased burned in his brown eyes. Just when he was about to say something, an accident suddenly appeared. Almost at the moment when he opened his lips slightly, a A bullet pierced through the air, glass splashed everywhere, and a cloud of blood burst out from his right shoulder!

He fell forward, and I hurriedly got up to catch him.

broken!I instantly understood that the Soviets must be here!They can't let them catch Richard, not to mention that if Richard confesses to Sasha, killing the second-in-command of the US intelligence agency on an American site like West Berlin will provoke World War III !

I put my arms around him and lowered my body, and I heard violent gunshots erupting from the club hall downstairs, and the screams kept coming and going in the silent night. When I was thinking about what to do, Richard raised his finger and pointed to the bookcase. Said: "There is a secret passage..."

As soon as I picked up Richard, I ran towards the bookcase. After he entered the password, the secret passage opened automatically. I helped him walk through the dark and damp tunnel. In the quiet and dark space, only his rapid breathing and blood could be heard. The sound of dripping on the ground.

It's not that I feel sorry for him, it's that he really can't die.

"Is there someone in front of you to meet you?" I asked anxiously.

"do not know......"

"How could you not know? Hell, are you trying to play me again?"

Richard twitched the corner of his mouth: "Do you think I'm playing tricks on you? It's you, why are you so stupid..."

"Stop talking nonsense, do you think it's that easy to get rid of the KGB and the GRU?" I supported him, sweating profusely, panting heavily.

Richard lowered his head and smiled softly, but did not speak.I can feel his footsteps getting weaker and weaker, it's terrible, he is my enemy!What am I doing?

But the Soviets didn't even know I was here to meet him, and if they killed or captured him, the fucking consequences would be serious.You know, the Soviet Union and the United States are still pretending at least on the surface. His identity...

I kept cursing in my heart, and I could only do my best to get Richard out.

Out of the secret road is an empty school field, which seems to have been transformed into a parking lot. Richard looked up, and I followed his gaze, and saw someone waving at us behind a Ford car in the distance!Just as the flame of surprise was burning in my heart, I only heard a whoosh, and the unlucky guy who waved to us fell to the ground!

Richard and I both turned pale.

"Tell me, am I following your bad luck?" Richard was still in the mood to tease me.

"Shut up, you! You deserve it!" I helped him run over there, hearing the sound of bullets and Richard's soft laughter.

However, he soon stopped laughing. I only felt the weight on my body suddenly increase. Richard's whole body went limp and he staggered. I looked down and saw that this big man had been shot in the leg!

I was shocked when I saw Richard's lips curled up, with a calm look on his face.

"You...you're out of your mind."

Frightened and cursed at him, I held him in my arms with my backhand. I can't control that much. Compared with my personal position, world peace is more important than my own personal position!

I made up my mind, turned around, took out my gun, and fired a bullet that I regretted so much in my life.

I saw that after a black hat fell, a bright silver appeared in the distant night sky.

Slowly, as if with unwillingness, the silver color gradually sank, and then the dark green pupils, like cat's eyes, pierced through all the darkness, and fixed their pungent and cold eyes on me.

I was completely stunned.
