"Passengers taking flight uc7399 to Washington, please note that tickets will be checked at gate 6 in 30 minutes. Please board the plane in order with the assistance of the staff"
Eddie Bass, a passenger on this flight, was once a senior reporter for the Washington Post. Unfortunately, not many Americans remember him. That is to say, there are still people in the newspaper who know that the head of the Moscow reporter station has been There has been no change of personnel in five years, which is unique in history. []
After a dispute with the old editor over a report, Eddie Bass was promoted to the Soviet Union and secretly transferred to the Soviet Union. Others could only have such a hard job for three or two years, but he stayed in Moscow for five years. Fortunately, a few months ago, the rigid old guy finally retired and found a few old friends before he was transferred back to the country.
"Farewell to my favorite caviar, farewell to delicious vodka, farewell to dear Moscow, I will never come to this ghost place again."
Looking back at the city where he had lived for more than two thousand days, Eddie Bass didn't know whether his emotions were nostalgia or hatred. He shook his head to put the distracting thoughts behind him, checked his luggage again, and finally walked to the boarding gate. I walked, but before I took two steps, I was blocked by a middle-aged man and two young men.
"I'm very sorry, sir, can I interrupt you for a moment and say a few words over there?"
"Who are you? I'm about to get on the plane. If you have anything to say, just say it here."
If it weren¡¯t for the fact that the person was speaking politely, Eddie Bass would have called the police for help. However, after the middle-aged man showed his KBL ID, he followed him to a room in the corner of the airport.
"As an American citizen, I am protected by American law. This is clearly written on my passport. Moreover, my behavior in the Soviet Union over the years has never violated any local laws and regulations, so I think there is nothing wrong with us. Talk about it!¡±
Eddie Bass spoke in a loud voice, but he knew that he was just trying to cheer him up. In the Soviet Union, few people could face this organization calmly. Just like in the United States, big bosses with strong backgrounds could not care about the police, but the FBI found Even a high-ranking congressman will be honest when it comes to his head.
"Mr. Bass, you have not made any mistakes. Even your private life is very discreet. We are very aware of this. We invite you to come here to ask if a major event is about to happen in the Soviet Union, which will attract the attention of the whole world." That kind of thing, I wonder if you would be interested in participating in the interview?"
"Major event?" Any reporter who loves his industry will definitely have his eyes light up when he hears this keyword, especially Mr. Eddie Bass, who has been on the bench for five years and is about to show off his talent again. Clearly, what better gift to the new editor-in-chief when you return to Washington than a piece of news that can make the world pay attention?
"But" Seeing Eddie Bass nodding repeatedly, the middle-aged man hesitated a little and said: "If Mr. Bass wants to participate in the report, not only will it delay your return to China, but you may also have to restrict your travel in recent days. Freedom, and I hope you can understand our work, after all, this incident is still in the confidentiality stage."
"Mystery!" Eddie Bass, who is one-eighth of French descent, still prefers this word. As for delaying time and restricting freedom, what does it matter? As long as they can get first-hand news, no one will care about such a small issue.
"Is it all for work? I can totally understand. Could you please help me change my flight ticket? Can you also let me make a phone call to inform my family not to pick me up at the airport? After all, this is an appointment made in advance. I¡¯m worried they¡¯ll be anxious.¡±
Eddie Bass's request was not excessive, and the middle-aged man also showed a smile on his face, "No problem Mr. Bass, April will help Mr. Bass unpack his luggage. Do I still have to teach you this?"
After handling a few small matters, Eddie Bass followed the middle-aged man out of the airport. As soon as he sat in the car outside the door, he was blindfolded by a black cloth. About two hours later, he stopped at a small airport. After some inspections, he boarded a military plane and then saw several of his colleagues.
"Hey, Kieran, when did the Soviet Union come? It seems that you were hired by them to report that big news."
Bobby Keelan is also an American journalist, but he does not have as many troubles as Eddie Bass. As long as readers can see articles signed by him, the sales of "USA Today" will increase by at least a few percentage points, so in the newspaper The editor-in-chief was just about to give him up.
"Yes Bass, my rare vacation has been ruined like this. What do you think the Soviets are going to do? Has the Cold War already defeated them and they can only start preparing for World War III?"
They say helloAs soon as he shouted, a short yellow-skinned guy came out of the corner of the cabin. He bowed first and then said: "Gentlemen, please rest assured. If the Soviets dare to provoke a war, Japan will definitely be the strongest support of the United States." Or, just leave the Far East region to us."
"Just relying on your self-defense force with only a few broken ships? Let's solve the domestic MLM chaos first!"
Eddie Bass took a quick glance and recognized this person as Chihiro Inoue from the Asahi Shimbun correspondent station in the Soviet Union, so he spoke with a rather disdainful tone. In his understanding of the Japanese name, Inoue should be this guy. Birthplace, Qianxun still hasn¡¯t figured out what it means.
"Don't worry, Kieran. If they really want to fight, how can they invite us here so politely? Besides, the Soviet Union's food production has been reduced year after year, and the soldiers are hungry. How can they have the energy to think about fighting."
Another female reporter from South Korea¡¯s Dong-A Ilbo, Kim Ji-ye, who is also an old acquaintance of Eddie Bass, continued: ¡°Mr. Bass is right, the Soviet leaders¡¯ energy is focused on economic development, unless now What lunatic would come out and dare to use nuclear weapons to cause damage to both sides?"
Bobby Keelan laughed: "It's really funny to mention that the Soviet Union improved its economy. The price of the same pack of cigarettes in the United States is one-third cheaper than theirs. Fortunately, the exchange rate of U.S. dollars to rubles has increased a lot. Otherwise, I wouldn¡¯t want to go to the Soviet Union for vacation.¡±
Eddie Bass smiled and said: "Kieran, if you are interested in the Soviet Union, before our new reporter bureau director is confirmed, just jump to the Washington Post. I will say hello to the editor later. I can definitely arrange a location for you.¡±
When the laughter of several people became louder, a Soviet soldier came over and told them to keep quiet. The plane took off soon after. If any of them could judge the direction in the blue sky, they would find that the destination of this trip was Khabarov. Sk, where the headquarters of the Soviet Far Eastern Military District is based.
