Chapter 27 Vodka Caviar on Current Affairs
Should I hide in the basement like a coward or fight like a man?
This is what Zhou Ming shouted. When he shouted these words, everyone was stunned. Everyone looked at Zhou Ming in stunned silence. None of them knew Zhou Ming, but they all understood that Zhou Ming
This sentence was directed at Mr. Nikolaevitch who was about to go to the basement.
There was silence, and time seemed to have stopped at this moment. Everyone looked at Zhou Ming in astonishment.
Is this Chinese crazy? He actually shouted such words?
This is the unified thought in everyone's mind at this time, and Karelina regrets teaching Zhou Ming this sentence in Russian. Zhulayeva thinks that it is over. As an insider of the White House, she is very disappointed.
It is clear to what extent the emotions here have been suppressed. Although the people here are all very high-quality, after experiencing the suppression in the past few days, their emotions are on the verge of collapse. They will do anything.
Got it.
Except for Karelina and Rulayeva, they also silently took a step forward, always ready to help Zhou Ming block any possible danger.
The silence did not last long. The Minister of Internal Affairs who had reprimanded Rulayeva immediately walked over angrily, pointed at Zhou Ming's nose and scolded: Where did you come from? Who gave you the power to be here?
Speaking, do you know how big of a mistake you made with what you just said?
At the end of the sentence, he shouted: "Where are the guards? Get this troublemaker out of here!"
However, Zhou Ming didn't bother to pay attention to him. He just looked at Nikolaevich over there and repeated what he just said.
Nikolaevich looked at Zhou Ming with stern eyes. Zhou Ming's eyes did not give in. Their eyes collided fiercely in the air.
Several military policemen wearing North Russian uniforms followed the call of the Minister of Internal Affairs and walked in. They held rubber rods and handcuffs and forced themselves towards Zhou Ming step by step.
Seeing this situation, Zhulayeva quickly reacted and said: I'm sorry, Mr. Minister, he is a journalist friend from China. He does not understand what we are saying. What he said just now may be an unintentional mistake. He did not know this.
That’s why I bumped into Mr. Nikolaovich. I apologize to you on his behalf. I hope you can explain to Mr. Nikolaovich that he has absolutely no ill intentions and is not a hostile element.
But the Minister of the Interior refused: I don’t care who he is, what he just said has had a serious impact on Mr. Nikolaevich’s reputation. For people like him, I must ask him out for Mr. Nikolaevich.
Seeing that several military police officers were getting closer and closer, both Kalelina and Zhurayeva were very anxious and tensed their nerves, ready to take action at any time.
However, the military and police could not threaten Zhou Ming after all. When these military and police came over, Zhou Ming suddenly burst into laughter: It seems that Mr. Nikolaevich is nothing more than that. I thought that someone who dared to quit the party voluntarily,
And how good the North Russians are against the entire Soviet Union, but now it seems that no matter how strong the Ural Mountain Eagle is, he can only accept interviews with non-offensive reporters in a safe basement.
Karelina quickly translated this sentence, and when Nikolayevich heard it, he immediately raised his hand to stop the White House military police from arresting Zhou Ming.
His move was beyond everyone's expectations. No one expected that Nikolaevich could be persuaded so easily. However, only Zhou Ming and Karelina knew that at this time, the military police had already
Entering the attack range, if he didn't call stop in time, what happened next would be really uncertain.
Nikolaevitch walked towards Zhou Ming, looked Zhou Ming up and down and asked: You said you were a reporter from China, but those words just now seemed not to be what a reporter should say.
That only shows that I am not an ordinary reporter. Zhou Ming said with a smile.
Nikolaevitch also burst out laughing: You are not an ordinary reporter. So, comrade reporter, I am very curious about your purpose of coming here.
In fact, I don't have any purpose, I just want to buy you a drink, Mr. Nikolaevich, that's all. Zhou Ming replied, and raised the vodka and caviar in his hand.
If what Zhou Ming shouted just now only surprised everyone, then the request made by Zhou Ming at this moment made everyone's thinking messy. Not only the officials in the White House, but also those who interviewed Nikolaevitch
, reporters who had no worries about their names also had question marks on their foreheads. They couldn't figure out where the sentiment of this Chinese came from at the critical moment when thousands of troops were surrounded outside and were ready to rush in at any time.
If he wants to drink here, he is either crazy or the world is crazy.
Nikolaevich was also stunned for a moment, but he immediately reacted, nodded and said: Since the guests from afar have such thoughts, then of course I, as the host, must be respectful rather than obedient.
After saying this, Nikolaevich ordered the Minister of Internal Affairs to prepare a small restaurant where he would entertain guests.
The poor Minister of the Interior still couldn't wrap his head around it at this time. He couldn't imagine why the Chinese crazy people came from nowhere, and why Nikolaevich became crazy too.
But he couldn't figure it out. The president's order still had to be implemented, so he could only pull his hair, try his best to suppress the doubts in his mind, and carry out the order.
Sorry fellow journalists, I have to excuse you.
Nikolaevitch told the reporters, and then took Zhou Ming to the restaurant in front of the reporters. The reporters just stared blankly until a few people disappeared at the end of the corridor, and then they exploded.
Oh my God, what did I see? Mr. Nikolaevich actually took that Chinese to the restaurant. What on earth is going on? Isn't there a coup outside? How can they still be so leisurely?
I couldn't believe my eyes. Who was that Chinese? Why could he persuade Mr. Nikolaevich? By the way, he was Chinese, a big country in the East. They had always been allies. Maybe
The Chinese was the ambassador sent to discuss the future dynamics of the Soviet Union with Mr. Nikolaevich, or the Eastern support that Mr. Nikolaevich was seeking.
Look what we missed. This could very well be a conversation that changes the world. We were actually blocked from outside. How can we be worthy of our status as journalists?
Reporters in the corridor were exclaiming and sighing. They wanted to follow them for an interview, but the White House security guards stopped them. By this time, Zhou Ming and Nikolaevich had already arrived at the restaurant.
If Zhou Ming heard the exclamations of these reporters, he would definitely snicker, because he does not have that much identity at all. If he really wants to say what identity he is, he is just a speculator who came to prepare to loot the wealth of this powerful country. It is just his own
This time the speculation was very big.
However, these reporters were right about one thing. This conversation between Zhou Ming and Nikolaevitch was indeed going to change the world.
After sitting down in the restaurant, Zhou Ming opened the vodka. Kalelina and Zhulayeva helped pour the caviar and cut the brown bread. Nikolaevich also asked the kitchen to make some barbecue and pickles.
During the preparation, Zhou Ming just introduced the caviar he bought to Nikolaevich, and joked: When I bought it, the merchant said that this was the best caviar in the world. If not, I would have to tell Nikolaiovich
Mr. Guravich, you made a complaint. How could Crisco deceive consumers? This situation is really bad.
Nikolaevitch just smiled in cooperation, and then couldn't help but ask Zhou Ming: I don't know who you are, why you said those words just now, and what is your purpose?
Zhou Ming was not in a hurry to speak, but glanced at Nikolaevich first. These two glances made Nikolaevich feel a little guilty. As a politician, he certainly understood that he was showing weakness by speaking first at this time.
performance, but he was really panicked. After all, he was in a building surrounded by an army, his life was in danger at any time, and he had been in a state of high tension for several days. No matter how good his mental endurance was, it was at its limit.
.
Of course, Zhou Ming did not mean to make fun of him. Zhou Ming said to him: Mr. Nikolaevich, please forgive me, your question is not right. It is not about who I am. You should ask yourself who I am.
Who are you here for? What is your purpose?
Zhou Ming's rhetorical question immediately confused Nikolaevich. He looked at Zhou Ming blankly, thinking about the meaning of Zhou Ming's words in his mind. Zhou Ming was not in a hurry to rush him.
He just silently poured a glass of wine for himself and Nikolaevich.
After pouring the wine, Zhou Ming asked Rulayeva to bring it to Nikolaevich, then raised the glass to signal him, took a sip first and said: This vodka is indeed one of the strongest wines in the world, and it turned out to be true for the first time I drank it.
Not even used to it
Nikolaevich also took a sip over there. Compared to Zhou Ming, he was already used to drinking, but he didn't know what to say to Zhou Ming.
On the contrary, Zhou Ming still calmly said to him: Mr. Nikolayevich, I don’t know if you have heard of it. There is an allusion in our country about green plums boiling wine to discuss heroes. It is said that in the eighteenth century
Years ago, the world was in chaos, and there was a story about two great men who were qualified to conquer the world, drinking in a pavilion. In the end, they did divide the world into three parts.
Nikolaevich narrowed his eyes: What on earth do you want to say?
In fact, what I want to say is very simple, because I think the current situation here is different from that allusion, but it is very similar. They are talking about heroes with green plums cooked in wine, and we are talking about current affairs with vodka and caviar. Zhou Ming said that the only heroes in the world are
Sir, I don’t want to say who I am, but at least Mr. Nikolaevich, you should understand who you are.
You asked me to change all this. Nikolaevich smiled bitterly and said, "This is impossible. You saw it when you came. There are so many troops outside."
Before Nikolaevich could finish speaking, Zhou Ming interrupted him and said: "How will you know if you don't try it and see? Before I came, others said it was impossible for me to come in, but I haven't come in the same way, so I don't do light work many times."
Thinking, there is never an answer. If you want to get results, you must do it.
