Chapter Eighty-Five: Butash
According to the Vienna Convention on Consular Relations, which entered into force in 1963, the land used by embassies and consulates belongs to the country in which they are located, but officials of the host country and law enforcement agencies are not allowed to enter the embassy or consulate without the consent of the ambassador, consul or other competent official of the sending country.
In other words, if the Russian Consul General in Guangsha does not agree, no matter how serious Chukovich commits a crime, as long as he hides in the Consulate General, the Chinese military and police cannot move a single hair, otherwise it will lead to a diplomatic dispute with Yan Zòng.
"We need to adjust our strategy in time. Meng Yanglong said with a resolute expression: "Before, I took you to participate in anti-submarine warfare, so that you can see with your own eyes how we destroyed that mysterious submarine." Originally, I thought that the passage for the Franks mercenaries to sneak into the country would be cut off, but I didn't expect the Gurkha mercenaries of the Red Devil Group to come again, in this case, we simply don't defend ourselves, and all the Checas and CIA will let them go! Just now, I was too polite to Chukovic, now I need to adjust my attitude, Chukovic, don't expect to drink black tea comfortably this time!"
Meng Yanglong's attitude was adjusted too late, and by the time the national security side started to arrest people, Chukovic had already returned to the consulate general.
The Russian consul general in Guangsha is called Butash.
Chukovich ran directly to Butash's office and was out of breath: "Something is in trouble......"
"What's the trouble?" Butash was a short, stocky middle-aged man, a little overwhelmed, but instead of making a hairstyle like the Chinese people often do, he kept the hair around him very short, and as a result, his head looked like a ball of flesh with a circle of black hair.
"Cheka...... It's the Cheka......" Chukovich saw that there was coffee on Boutash's desk, and without asking Bhutash, he took it and took two sips, and then said: "A few days ago, the Cheka suddenly appeared in the territory of Guangsha and launched an attack. Just now, Meng Yanglong of Huaxia Guoan called me and asked me how much I knew about the Cheka......"
Butash's expression did not look surprised: "And then?"
And then ...... Wait, don't you know about the Cheka attack?"
"As a member of the Federal Security Service, Comrade Chukovich, your cousin is too disappointing. Butash raised his head proudly, looked at Chukovich, and said slowly: "Your main job duty is to monitor the underground forces in the southern region of China, but you didn't even notice the Cheka under your nose!"
"I'm sorry. ”
"If it's the CIA, or whatever, that's fine, but the Cheka is our Russian compatriot after all!" After a pause, Butash continued: "The Cheka are a bunch of crazy people who want to rebuild the former Soviet Union, and we cannot tolerate this." But on the other hand, because they are our compatriots, we have some goals that tend to coincide with each other! Why don't you care about drug trafficking organizations, spies and agents from other countries, and you don't know anything about the sudden arrival of the Cheka?"
"But, Butash, you're the intelligence chief, don't you know the same!"
"The Cheka won't notify me before they attack. Butash picked up the cup and wanted to drink coffee, but remembering that it had been drunk by Chukovich just now, he put the cup down again: "Okay, let's no longer dwell on the question of Cheka, let's talk about this meeting between you and Meng Yanglong!"
"Meet...... What's wrong?"
"I really didn't know about the arrival of the Cheka, the Chinese side blocked the news too tightly, but I knew some other things, such as this meeting. At first, your appearance was satisfactory to me......" Butash suddenly smiled coldly: "However, you brought two bodyguards, and you were all subdued by Meng Yanglong's subordinates. Even, before this person named Cang Hao could point his gun at you, you honestly confessed everything!"
"Original...... You already know it......" Chukovic broke out in a cold sweat, as a member of the Federal Security Service, he didn't know that the intelligence capabilities of the Federal Security Service were so powerful. There were only seven people present at this meeting, four on the Huaxia side and three on his own side.
Who would have reported the situation to Butash in the first place, and Chukovic suspected that it was the bodyguard who was forced by Cang Hao with a gun.
Chukovic secretly made up his mind that he would definitely find an opportunity to kick this bodyguard out, preferably to Siberia, who would dare to betray him.
"Let me guess what you're thinking. Butash's eyes seemed to be able to see through Chukovich's heart: "You are analyzing, whether there is an undercover agent around you, I can tell you for sure - there is." You have someone by my side who will report to me what you have done every minute and every second, including your meeting with Meng Yanglong, of course. ”
"You're spying on me?"
"Spying on you?" Butash looked at Chukovich with a smirk: "As a member of the Federal Security Service, you are too naïve, and who of us is not under the surveillance of our superiors?"
"This ...... I don't want to discuss this ......" Chukovich did not realize the horror of the KGB style until today: "Well, I admit, of course I am too cowardly, and I sincerely ask for your forgiveness!"
"Let me count the mistakes in your work, firstly, you exposed your weapons in front of high-ranking officials of the Chinese military, and this will become our handle; secondly, as I just said, you are too cowardly, every member of the Federal Security Service should be a real man; third, you have even admitted to the Cheka's deposit, you must know that even in our country, this is highly confidential......" After a pause, Butash said disdainfully: " Comrade Chukovich, your performance today is not only a dereliction of duty, but also a suspicion of apostasy!"
"Apostasy?" Chukovich was even more horrified: "No! I absolutely not! I just admitted the Cheka's deposit, and nothing else was said!"
"Just because I won't say it now doesn't mean I won't say it in the future!"
"You ......" Chukovich was stunned: "How can you blame me with something that hasn't happened in the future yet?"
"As intelligence officers, we have to consider all possibilities, and today you confessed to the Cheka just because Cang Hao pointed a gun at your bodyguard. If someone points a gun directly at you tomorrow, who can guarantee that you won't say anything more?" Butash said, and even sighed, as if he felt sorry for Chukovich: "If you were just an ordinary comrade, I could transfer you to an unimportant post, but after all, you have too many secrets, so I have to take into account the risk of leaking secrets!"
Chukovich took two steps back: "You...... What do you mean?"
Butash slapped his face, and immediately walked in from the outside, two big-shouldered bodyguards with round waists, one on the left and one on the right, and Chukovich was sandwiched.
"I'm sorry, Chukovich, you are a good comrade, you were very promising, it's a pity that you didn't stand the test. Butash's tone was even more regretful: "These two comrades will escort you home, as far as I know, there is a good recuperation center on Novaya Zemlya, you are too tired during this time, go there and rest." ”
Chukovic wasn't really cowardly, but he was completely suppressed by Cang Hao's aura at that time.
After working in the Federal Security Service for so long, he has no lack of insight and courage, but when he heard Butash's words, he couldn't help but tremble.
Novaya Zemlya is located in the northwest of Russia, a region of extreme cold desert and no paradise, with summer highs of no more than minus 7 degrees Celsius.
In the former Soviet era, Novaya Zemlya was a nuclear weapons test site, and there was originally a labor camp in the area, where some serious convicts were held to build a nuclear test facility.
After the global nuclear test ban treaty came into force, there were no more nuclear tests in the place, but the labor camps were preserved, but no one knew about it.
Speaking of which, it must be mentioned that the former Soviet Union had a very distinctive labor camp system, known as the "Gulag system".
A few decades ago, the Gulag was written in a book by a great Russian writer, Solzhenitsyn, and became widely known.
To put it simply, the "Gulag" is a myriad of labor camps scattered throughout the former Soviet Union, most of which are located in areas with harsh natural environments and barren land.
This system originated in the twenties of the twentieth century, and in a certain way, these places in the Gulag were not prisons, but they were more brutal than prisons.
There are real criminals who are locked up, but more often than not, people who make minor mistakes that don't matter, or even just a few whining words.
They lacked food and clothing, medicine and the necessary health guarantees, and worked in the harsh natural environment beyond their usual circumstances, and a considerable number of them died.
Due to the unjust deaths caused by so many people, the former Soviet Union closed the gulag system in the sixties of the twentieth century, but it was only a superficial phenomenon, and some places were secretly preserved.
In fact, today's FSB has largely inherited the style of the former Soviet KGB, such as the Gulag system, which resembled a Nazi concentration camp, including Novaya Zemlya.
Some of those officials did not want to be executed, but had to be imprisoned, were sent to the Novaya Zemlya labor camps, where they would be isolated forever.
Sending to Novaya Zemlya is a preferential measure for the Russian secret services today, which is dedicated to the exile of errant insiders.
After all, if you don't kill it, it's a preferential treatment, but staying in that place where there is no grass for the rest of your life is worse than death.
So the thing is obvious, no one is going to go on vacation to Novaya Zemlya, unless it's crazy.
"You have to thank me. Butash let out a long sigh: "This is what I got for you." ”
"The FSB is really efficient, I have been talking to Meng Yanglong for such a short time, the whole process has been reported to you, and you have already asked your superiors how to deal with me......" Chukovich smiled sadly: "Thank you!"
"No thanks, if I have time, I will go to Novaya Zemlya to see your ......" Speaking of this, Butash smiled slyly: "But I'm afraid I don't have much time to go to that place!"
"Then I want to thank you too. Chukovich bowed deeply, looking respectful, but as he bowed, he suddenly grabbed the ashtray on the table and slammed it on the head of the bodyguard on the left.
The bodyguard screamed and took a step back, and Chukovich reached into his arms and pulled out the pistol directly.
Chukovich was well aware that the bodyguards of the consulate used to put their guns in that position.
Immediately after, Chukovic pulled the trigger repeatedly, and in the blink of an eye, the bodyguard's chest was almost shattered.
