Chapter 53: The Puzzle (18)
I nibbled on my bread and looked at the gardener who was drinking coffee, "How is it now?" Are the people who stay okay? ”
The gardener looked at me and smiled, "You were fine when you first left. Vukovic put everyone in the town, and the former Bunotz farm was repacked. Everybody is doing well. But it didn't take long for me to leave, and I went home. ”
"How's your house?" I asked.
"It's good. There are quite a lot of people going home. Trovic was also driven home by Vukovic. ”
"Haha. Is it? "I want to laugh when I think of the old collector with Bobosha and two MG-42s called left and right hands.
"Yes." Lukovich, who was on the sidelines, said, "The situation is getting better. Everyone has had enough, and Vukovic is not an aggressive person. On the contrary, he constantly encouraged everyone to lay down their arms and go back to their homes. ”
"Then why don't you guys go home? Still running here? I asked.
Lukovich looked at me and said, "Thinking that day we were ambushed by NATO people... Yugovic, and Krasic, who died in Bosnia and Herzegovina, I can't stay at home quietly. ”
I nodded and looked at the gardener, "What about you?" ”
"I'm pretty much the same as him. I always think of the veteran Bilsa, the captain, and my fellow trainees who have trained here ... The gardener sighed.
"Okay." I said and took a bite of bread, "I hope we can live a good life at home and with our families in peace one day." ”
About half an hour later, the door to the room where the old guy was opened open. Paul stuck out his head to me and said, "Gypsy, there's something to discuss." ”
I walked briskly over, and when I entered the house, Paul closed the door. At this moment, Ogier was already a little dizzy. The old guy looked at me and said, "We've made up the story to trick the guy from the Security Bureau named Kutcher out." ”
"You're going to arrest someone from the Security Service?" I asked.
The old guy nodded, "Yes." Since they're going to do it to us, why don't I turn it around against them. And there is a lot of incoordination between the Security Service and NATO. The person who came to arrest this guy today must be someone from NATO, and perhaps the Security Service has not intended to let NATO people get involved in the arrest of the personnel of the 17th Bureau. They want to do it themselves and control all the people in their own hands. ”
"Why is that? Shouldn't they be a partnership? Cooperate to deal with us together. I said.
Ivan smiled and said, "Of course there are some concerns. Maybe they are afraid that if we fall into the hands of NATO, something very unfavorable will be created for them. ”
"You know so much about them? I'm referring to the Ukrainian side. I asked.
"Maybe." The old guy stood up, "So grab one of their men first and ask for clarification." That's the one named Kutcher. According to Ogier, this man should be the person in charge here. He should be able to answer a lot of our questions. ”
"So how are we going to catch him? Let this guy lure the target out? I asked, pointing at Ogier.
"Yes. That's it. Now that guy shouldn't know exactly who Ogier is in. Of course, he may contact people on the NATO side, but the people in NATO will definitely not admit it, and they will definitely not admit it if they don't get it at all. But it's useless not to admit it, the man knows that it was NATO people who are trying to kidnap him, and it's enough for us to be anxious. Of course, the traces of the scene would have let him know that another group of people had appeared, but that wasn't a problem. Ogier would tell the guy that he ran away and give an explanation. Then we'll throw a decoy. The old man said and looked at Ivan and motioned for him to continue.
 
; Ivan nodded and looked at me, "Remember the apartment we stayed in before?" I'm going to throw that place to them. And we're there to make up the trap and wait for them to take the bait. ”
"These people should be in a hurry to find us. The NATO guys have already taken matters into their own hands, which will undoubtedly give them a great sense of urgency. So they shouldn't refuse and will organize people to come over as soon as possible. The old guy said.
I looked at the old guy and said, "That sounds good. But it's not easy. I guess the other party is not stupid, communicate on the phone? In case this guy hears something wrong in his words, our plan will fail, and if the other party comes to a plan, arrange a large number of people to calculate us once, and it will be over. ”
The old guy walked back and forth in the house twice, thought for a moment, and said, "It's not very likely." We are now at a disadvantage. And they are psychologically very eager to catch us, and there may be a lot of manpower, but even then they will not have any strict arrangement. ”
"You have to take some risks against the Security Service. Here is, after all, Ukraine. Ivan said.
I glanced at Ivan, "If we were in Russia, I guess we would have finished sooner. I think it's okay to be in Ukraine. ”
The old guy smiled when he heard me say this, "Don't be so pessimistic. Since the beginning of the Great Chaos, there has been a lot of attrition, and most of the people you are dealing with now are only Boy Scouts by previous standards. This is true for Russia, not to mention Ukraine. ”
"Huh. Then I'm right. I actually like to play against less powerful opponents. Like Sasha said before, we're not here to compete in the tournament, the worse the opponent, the better. I said.
"Then you should be more reassured. Didn't you fight me and the Security Service that night? What do you think? Ivan asked.
"Hmph. Except for the large number of people, there is no big impression. I finished and looked at Ogier, "This guy is drunk by you, how can he tell a story?" ”
The old guy shrugged his shoulders and said, "I'll bring him to his senses then." So do you still have any questions? ”
"Of course. Are the people who want to take him away today definitely from NATO? If so, if we kill them, will they be dealing with the Security Bureau? Will we all act together when we join forces? I said and looked at Ivan, "You can look down on Ukraine, even many people in Russia can look down on you, but what about NATO?" If they join forces, it's going to be a problem. We can only say that we were lucky at Ogier's house before, and the other party was completely defenseless, but if everyone came prepared, it would not be fun. ”
"It's a possibility, but it's not very likely at the moment. If they had joined forces to arrest them, they wouldn't have happened today. Even if they figure it out now, it will be difficult to coordinate for a while. But if we don't hurry up, it will become complicated for them to communicate with each other. But I always feel that there are some irreconcilable contradictions between them. It's not going to be done by joining forces, as you said. The old guy said.
I nodded, "Looks like you've made up your mind to do it." So is it the same guy who went out tonight this time? ”
"I'll go too." Paul began, "I've been holding it back for a long time. ”
