Faced with the almost paranoid stubbornness of the chief of armaments, those old comrades and colleagues who were familiar with the chief of armaments had nothing to do except become furious.

Who made those senior officials turn a blind eye to this? Therefore, those old comrades and colleagues could only lament that the chief of armaments, this old boy, had so many magical powers.

However, the same thing looked completely different in the eyes of the Soviets who aided China!

…

The green birch trees swayed up a ray of late spring sun, leaving only the rows of slanted reflections on the ground, like upright guards, which highlighted the unique small building with rich Russian style behind the woods.

solemn.

But just such a small building with unique scenery made Grechko walk with heavy steps. If he was given another choice, he would turn around and leave without hesitation.

But now, he can't leave even if he wants to.

Because just when he was thinking wildly, a figure had already flashed in front of him: "Comrade Grechko, you are two minutes late today."

"I'm really sorry, Counselor Puev. I stayed up too late yesterday for today's matters." Facing Counselor Puev of the Soviet Embassy in China, Grechko could only put away his psychological unhappiness and smiled bitterly.

He explained, then handed a good-tasting Chinese cigarette to the counselor walking side by side, and changed the subject: "Oh, by the way, what does Comrade Ambassador think of today's events? If so, please tell me.

.”

As he spoke, Grechko handed over the lit lighter, and while helping Puev light the cigarette, he unabashedly inquired about information in order to prepare for the upcoming small meeting.

In this regard, Grechko is still confident. After all, he and Puev are classmates in the aerodynamics major at Moscow University. Although Puev was transferred from a technical cadre to a diplomat for various reasons after graduation, he and Puev

He, an expert who continues to work hard in aviation technology, is quite different.

But the friendship from the university days is still preserved to this day, so these days Grechko can always take the initiative in the secret meetings held by the Soviet Embassy in China, and his counselor student is indispensable.

Now, after seeing unexpected and strange situations in the transfer of aviation technology to China, he, an aviation expert who focuses on technology, needs to understand the attitude of the Soviet ambassador to China. After all, this comrade is the ambassador who is leading the situation at this time.

direct leadership.

Grechko seemed to have miscalculated today. He saw Counselor Puev pinching the cigarette in his hand, taking two strong puffs, and then whispered in a frightened voice: "Mr. Ambassador was suddenly dismissed early this morning.

Just an hour before you arrived, you were taken away by people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs."

"The ambassador was dismissed just like that. Could it be that this matter has already..."

This news was like a bolt from the blue, which made Grechko panic. But before he could finish his words, Puev glared at him: "If you want to be taken away too, just speak louder."

…”

Saying that, Puev raised his finger and pointed to the sky, and reminded in a low voice with lingering fear: "This matter has already been raised to heaven! Okay, don't ask anymore. The big shot from Moscow has been waiting for you for a while.

It’s time.”

"ah?"

When he heard that a big shot in Moscow was waiting for him, Grechko's calves could not help but tremble a little, but before he could recover, he had already arrived in front of a door with a guard handle.

It seemed that he had received the order early. When he saw Puev and Grechko arriving, the guard opened the door without thinking. Immediately, Puev stretched out his hand to signal, and Grechko walked in with a sad face.

.

Grechko did not see anyone else. He only saw a middle-aged man in his forties standing alone by the window. One hand was inserted into the pocket of his straight trousers, and the other hand was holding a steaming cup

Sipping the coffee carefully.

Hearing the sound of Grechko coming in, the middle-aged man turned around and stared at the somewhat panicked Grechko through his wide glasses. The corners of his thin mouth slowly opened to both sides, revealing a gentle look.

Smile: "Please don't be so nervous. Dear Comrade Grechko, let me introduce myself. My name is Ustinov, and I currently serve as the Minister of Weapons and Equipment of the Soviet Union."

As soon as the words "Minister of Weapons and Equipment" rushed into Grechko's ears, his gray-blue pupils shrank sharply. Although he already knew from Puev's mouth that the person coming was a big shot in Moscow, he himself also

I was somewhat prepared, but I didn't expect that this big shot would be so big.

Others don't know, but Grechko is very clear. It is also a ministry-level unit under the Council of Ministers of the Soviet Union, but the Department of Weapons and Equipment is the most special one. Although its responsibilities are subordinate to the Council of Ministers of the Soviet Union, it is well versed in the Soviet Union.

Everyone in the political system knows that it is just a cover to fool people.

The only person who can really control the lifeblood of the military production department, which is related to the strength of the Soviet army, is the one who lives in the Kremlin. Because of this, the leadership, budget and production plan of the Weapons and Equipment Department are independent systems, and no one can do it.

Being unable to intervene, but being able to become the head of a department directly reporting to the top leadership, does not mean that person has deep connections with the Kremlin.

If these are not big shots, then who else can be a big shot?

Because of this, Grechko's heart was in turmoil, and his face was even more unstable. He responded tremblingly: "Hello, Comrade Minister, I wonder what you want to see me for?"

"Oh, it's still about the transfer of aviation technology to China. You also know that the country still hopes to conclude this deal, not only to help Chinese comrades modernize aviation technology and promote the Asian revolution process, but also for the development of the Soviet Union itself.

After all, domestic machinery manufacturing plants also need milk and bread, so I am here just to follow up on your progress."

Ustinov did not mince words and made his purpose clear in unique Soviet language.

After listening to this, Grechko couldn't help but secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He personally handled all the specific matters regarding China's aviation technology transfer. If the ambassador was taken away because of this matter, he would also escape.

It doesn't matter.

This is why he was so frightened when he saw Ustinov again.

But now, listening to the words of the minister, it seems that he no longer wants to hold him responsible. This makes Grechko feel a sense of detachment from the aftermath of the disaster.

However, Grechko's detachment has not really left his body. Ustinov's next words shocked Grechko to the point of being stunned: "Intelligence shows that China has mastered part of the aviation manufacturing industry."
