Chapter 868: Arabic
Shortly after leaving the front line, he would also take a look at the battle situation report specially issued by the high command every day, Long Yun knew that the advance of the Red Empire in the Middle East was very smooth, and it was expected that Turkey's surrender and surrender would be imminent.
Now, looking at the course of the war over the past few months, first in Western Europe and then in the Middle East, the Western world has suffered two painful defeats in succession, and the number of member states under the flag of the North Star is becoming fewer and fewer; Therefore, Long Yun felt that the two things he saw today were quite meaningful, maybe the Yankees felt that their power was weak and they had no bottom in their hearts, so they instructed their subordinates to come out and wave their flags and shout to make a show, just to support and cheer up all the members of the NATO bloc.
Hey, then again, these measures are mostly demonstrative, and they are not really useful in the first place.
A moment later, sitting at the dining table with the three girls for breakfast, Long Yun had basically figured out the contrast between the strength of the two major groups in the East and the West, and he felt that he had reason to be cautiously optimistic, and he also felt that the Americans were quite bored in doing so.
But isn't it, after suffering successive defeats in Western Europe and the Middle East, NATO, which once had many members, is now left with less than ten countries such as the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, Spain, and even Ireland.
On the other hand, the Warsaw Pact bloc of countries, even if we do not count the former NATO members who defected, they are not inferior to NATO, which has suffered a great loss in vitality, in terms of overall strength, not to mention that after gaining superiority in two directions on the European continent, the difference in morale between the two sides is even more obvious. The pace of the war is clearly in the hands of the Warsaw Pact bloc. This is very important for a long-term and protracted war.
Hey. Well, it doesn't matter how much these guys like to toss, in short, they can't afford to make any big waves!
With this thought, Long Yun spent the rest of the day very relaxed.
In his leisure time in the "White Birch Forest Recuperation Area", he added another thing that required hard work in addition to his daily routine of exercise and walking, and the difficulty of this matter was actually quite high, so he had to ask Valentina District to help him contact him. Let's see if we can get a tutor to come and help.
Hearing the request of Comrade Lieutenant General, even the well-informed agent was quite surprised:
"'Arabic'? - I don't understand, Victor, how did you come up with the idea of learning such a language? β
"Ah, alright, alright."
As expected, after making the request, he was questioned by the detectives, and the rhetoric that Long Yun had prepared before seemed to have stumbled, but this matter was okay, even if someone accidentally found a clue, he would never think of what he was going to do.
But that's what he thinks. Valentina next to her may not be so easy to deceive, and her consciousness snoops on the information returned. The shrewd, capable, beautiful woman was suspicious, and though she did not guess what he was going to do, she was hesitant to do him a favor and find an agent who was familiar with the Arabic language.
Yes, the so-called "Arabic teacher", of course, there is no shortage of such talents, but why should a number one ace of the Red Air Force learn such a difficult foreign language, and what does he want to do?
Glimpsing the agent's doubts, Long Yun didn't want to use his superpowers for such a trivial matter, and he gave his own reason:
"Actually, Valya, I'm making some preparations for the next action,"
While speaking, he pretended to look around and confirmed that Lyudmila and the others were not nearby, Long Yun lowered his voice and explained a few words to Valentina, who raised his eyebrows slightly:
"It's not easy to say this in front of Lyudmila, but I think that since I have to return to the front line to continue the battle, no one dares to say that there will be no crash on the battlefield; If he really crashed in the Middle East," Long Yun muttered in his heart when he said this, didn't he already crash and flee in the Middle East, although not in a parallel world, "I think it is still very helpful to know a little Arabic." The last time I was in France, I was arrested by the local police because of a language barrier, which you may not know, but I was so hurt that I was almost escorted to the other side of the ocean by the Americans. β
"Ah, - and such a thing?"
Hearing Long Yun talk about the past a few months ago, when he hadn't met the number one killer of the Red Air Force, Valentina naturally didn't know the details; She only flipped through the materials of the operation and knew that Victor had been captured in a plane crash, and the others were the first time she had heard of them.
Now, listening to Long Yun talk about some difficult past, the young detective pursed her lips and thought for a moment, but she felt that this idea was very reasonable, she tilted her head to look at the man in front of her:
"Okay, I'll go make a report; But Victor, in my personal experience of learning the language quickly, Arabic is notoriously difficult to learn, so don't rush it. β
"Haha, I know thisβwhat, Walya, have you ever learned Arabic?"
Hearing the agent's kind reminder, Long Yun also knew about this for a long time, Arabic, which belongs to the Semitic language family of the Semitic language family, is quite difficult to master in terms of grammar, words and writing, and is one of the ten most difficult languages to learn announced by the United Nations, and it ranks third.
But on the other hand, his main purpose in learning some Arabic is naturally to facilitate his escape from the Syrian hinterland, and he obviously does not need to be very proficient, as long as he can speak a few simple words and phrases, combined with his superpowers, he can move freely in the chaotic Middle East. Arabic is hard to learn, but which of the 10 most difficult languages in the United Nations is at the top of the list?
Yes, there is no doubt that it is the only extant morphophonic language, Chinese; So think about it from another angle, he has already learned such a difficult language, is he afraid of other strange varieties:
"Since you can speak Arabic, how about you teach me that?"
"Me? But I'm only scratching the surface...... Oh, well, since you just want to plan ahead, then you can master a little foundation, then of course I have no problem, it depends on whether you study seriously. β
"Of course, of course! Just be rough, we're done. β
With the help of a rare recuperation break, he was busy arranging a series of plans for his own action in the two worlds, and the news broadcast on TV did not have any direct impact on Long Yun.
However, this political incident was an extremely important signal for the highest decision-making level of the Soviet Union.
As night falls, in Moscow in early winter, gusts of cold wind and fine snowflakes scatter in all directions, sprinkling large patches of white on the roofs of buildings and trees.
The sky gradually darkened, and the office building of the Supreme Soviet, located on the banks of the Volga River, was still brightly lit in this magnificent white building, and in the conference room on the basement level, a small consultation on affairs had just ended, and Konstantin Malenkov, the general secretary of the CPSU, who had walked out of the door in a suit jacket, walked through the corridor accompanied by escorts and returned to the underground office covered by reinforced concrete to rest for a while.
Sitting down at his desk, picking up the telephone receiver on the desk, and before dialing an internal number, the general secretary with a calm expression pondered for a moment in his seat, as if he was still considering some important agenda items at the consultation meeting.
But at this moment, a pair of deep eyes on the resolute face are looking at a photo on the desktop.
The photograph I just took out of the drawer shows a corner of the round table at a banquet, and the young girl sitting with the general secretary is dressed in purple, with a slightly reserved smile on her delicate face; Looking intently at the innocent smile on the photo, a hint of heartfelt joy gradually appeared on Malenkov's face, but it disappeared suddenly, and a look of thought of some difficult problem appeared.
Holding the receiver in his hand, the general secretary hesitated for a long time before pressing the call button:
ββ¦β¦ Yes; When Comrade Viktor Rezenov arrived, I invited him to my office. β
Malenkov's thoughts flashed through the fact that Viktor Rezenov, a lieutenant general of the Soviet Air Force aviation, was sitting with Valentina in a Volga car on his way to the office building of the Supreme Soviet.
Needless to say, this outing was naturally summoned by the general secretary.
Due to the high standard protection of the KGB, Long Yun, who returned to Moscow, has been living in a villa in the "White Birch Forest Recuperation Area", but today he rarely goes out by car, of course, for some official business that must be visited in person; In order to coordinate the itinerary between the real and fake Viktors and let the possible trackers relax their vigilance, the gray Volga, which was not conspicuous at all in the city of Moscow, made a beeline for the Supreme Soviet building, while the "bait double" of Comrade Lieutenant General was wandering around the Air Force Headquarters a few kilometers away.
Before going out, he changed into a simple suit for a public servant and put on a dark heavy dΓ coat, and Long Yun and Valentina, who walked out of the Volga car, merged into the Soviet building, and now he was buttoned up a buttoned hat and a pair of glasses with hidden lenses, and he looked almost no resemblance to his original appearance, so he could swagger in through the main entrance of the building.
The way to lure the enemy, the so-called "virtual and real", and the dangerous tactics of soldiers are sometimes a tactic, and today's arrangement seems to be the same.
According to the operational thinking of the general security agencies, such an important person as Viktor Rezenov must go directly to the interior of the building through the elevator in the underground parking lot of the building. However, in the dimly lit underground parking lot, where vehicles are parked everywhere, it is actually more convenient for saboteurs to wait and standby, and it is more prudent and prudent to enter through the main entrance with people and surveillance.
