Chapter 36: The Struggle for the Successors (30)
After Semolov went out and closed the door, the old guy looked at us and said, "Except that Kutcher will be left to organize some defense work in the seventeenth round. Ivan will also be sent out, and that's all I have... Entire! ”
"Kutcher... Are you afraid that the other party will come here directly? I asked.
The old guy shook his head and said, "It's not very likely." But you have to be careful. Besides, Kutcher is a good fit for this. “
At this moment, Zhao Yi's phone rang again. The eyes of several of us immediately turned to him. Zhao Yi picked up the phone and looked at it and said, "It's an unfamiliar number... “
"Strange number?" Berezov asked curiously.
I looked at the old guy, only to see the old guy crack his mouth and smile, and said with a look of ambition: "Answer the phone." I think this is your Uncle Bodachev. ”
Zhao Yi listened to the old guy's words and answered the phone suspiciously, only to see Zhao Yi look at the old guy in surprise after hearing the other party's voice. Obviously, the old guy once again guessed correctly with his rich experience in the rivers and lakes and his control of people's hearts. He made a calm gesture to Zhao Yi and motioned for him to speak.
Zhao Yi took the phone and said, "Uncle Bodachev." Is this your private phone? Okay, I made a note of it. Meet? Of course! In order to show my sincerity, I will not just talk to you on the phone, but I hope to sit down with you and explain all the problems clearly. Of course, I will go. Where is it? Constanta? No problem, I know there, that's an important port for you, isn't it? Oh, well, it's Romania, but it's yours too. You know, that's what I'm calling when I arrive, right? Okay, I see. I'll be there in about two or three days, and I'll be there for sure. Forgive me for not being able to give me a specific time, now I'm not in a different situation than I used to be... You get the idea. Good. Good night, Uncle Bodachev. ”
After hanging up the phone, Zhao Yi looked at the old guy and said, "He asked me to meet in Constanta." It was a Roman port city on the Black Sea. his turf. ”
When the old guy heard Zhao Yi say this, he immediately looked at Berezov and said, "Call Ivan and Rebich." “
Berezov immediately got up and opened the door and walked out of the conference room, and a moment later the three of them returned together. When the old guy saw them returning, he immediately said: "Constanta, Bodachev promised to meet in Constanta." Saying that, he looked at Zhao Yi and said, "Can you roughly know the place of meeting?" ”
Zhao Yi shook his head after thinking about it, "I can't do this, that guy is very powerful there, it's hard for me to know where he will be located." ”
The old guy nodded and looked at Ivan and Rebic, "Start setting up in Constanta right away." Weapons, communication equipment, footholds, and vehicles must all be prepared. ”
"That... And what about the rest of Bodachev's family? Let them go for now? Ivan asked.
The old guy thought for a moment and said, "Give Semolov the youngest son who is monitoring his youngest son, that is, the youngest son who may meet with the Bulgarian on the border, and you let go of the rest first, and pay attention to the other party's movements." “
"Understood." Ivan agreed.
"How long will it take?" The old guy asked.
Ivan and Rebic looked at each other and discussed with each other a few words, and then Ivan spoke: "Four days, at least three days." ”
"No!" The old guy immediately waved his hand and said, "Two days." You only have two days. Two days later, Zhao will go to Constanta to meet with Bodachev, and you will have to do reconnaissance and preparation for him. Provide good intelligence and weapons for our squads. There are also plans for evacuation. ”
"This... Time is running out ... Ivan said.
"Nope! I said it for two days! You only have two days. I don't want to repeat it again. The old guy interrupted.
"But..." Rebic also wanted to explain. The old fellow looked at him and raised his voice, "It's nothing. Now is not the time for us to fully take the initiative. Rather than trying to explain to me how urgent the world is, you should start arranging right away. By the way, I remind you again to always be vigilant about movements in the west. “
Ivan and Rebic stood up depressed and left their seats and walked out of the conference room. The old guy sighed and said, "When will I be able to have countless resources at my disposal like the Yankees?" After he finished sighing, he looked at Zhao Yi again and said, "How are you going to pass?" “
"Airplane. I'm leaving from Ukraine... “
"Nope. I mean, you meet him alone? The old fellow said and pointed at me, "Do you want the gypsies to be with you?" “
Zhao Yi looked at me and said, "How is it?" Want to see that old guy with me? ”
I looked at the old guy and then at Zhao Yi, although I didn't really want to go, but after seeing Zhao Yi's eyes, I still said, "No problem." Let's just go meet him. ”
The old guy adjusted his sitting posture and said, "I'm worried that someone will come and ruin this meeting." If that's the case... Gypsy, you have to make sure that Zhao can get out safely and come out alive. ”
"You mean the people from the west?" I asked.
"Of course. Who else could there be but them? The old fellow said and thought for a moment, "Apparently they have been unprepared by us to get rid of Dimitri and Milarov. It is impossible for them not to pay attention to the problem here, and judging by the actions of the Bulgarian, there is already a calculation against Bodachev. That is, now Bodachev's every move must be being watched by them, just like us. So, when you meet, it's hard to say that there is no third party watching or even preparing to do something else. “
“。。。 Could the meeting itself be a trap? Berezov asked.
The old fellow looked at him and said, "Are you afraid that something like you and Klinger will happen?" “
Speaking of this, Berezov's face turned cold. The old guy shook his head and said, "Probably not." Just from the fact that this guy is talking to Zhao Yi on the phone, it shouldn't be a trap, if it's a trap, it doesn't have to be like this. And I asked Ivan and Rebic to speed up the preparation to prevent this from happening. After speaking, the old man thought about it and then said: "When the time comes, you will have to take someone nearby to standby." One is to prevent accidents. The second is to make it easier to kill Bodachev if necessary. “
"What if someone comes and raids them during the meeting?" Berezov asked, "Am I aiming for the other side or for getting them and Bodachev out?" “
"The two of them, of course. If you can, Bodachev would do well to bring it out as well. Don't fall in love with each other, there is no point in needless consumption. After speaking, the old guy looked at Zhao Yi and said, "Try not to detour after meeting." Don't talk about those unnecessary greetings, and make it clear that you mean to express enough sincerity. Gain his trust as soon as possible, lest it be difficult to meet and talk after a long time and if there is a real accident. “
