614 Yevgeny's New Job (Part 2)
After Yevgeni seriously considered the advice of a certain immortal, he thought the job was very interesting. Yes, it was very interesting and not very good. The difference between the two was too big. A very good job was not necessarily interesting, and an interesting job did not mean it was very good. At least Yevgeni knew that if he had let his materialistic mother come to see it, this job would be too bad.
Fortunately, she is not the one who has the right to decide now. If there is only one person in this world who can control Victoria, it must be Li Xiaofeng. Yevgeny believes that as long as this powerful uncle goes to his mother's job, everything will be fine.
Anyway, Yevgeny was confidently prepared to carry out new work. However, Li Xiaofeng thought that things were not that simple.
"Do you understand intelligence work?" A certain immortal asked the first question.
Yevgeny was originally preparing to answer that he had a certain understanding. Isn’t it just a secret operation on the secret front, collecting intelligence in the heart of the enemy to engage in sabotage and instigating the enemy?
Li Xiaofeng shook his head. He knew that his eldest nephew knew nothing about intelligence work: "Information work is not as exciting as you imagined. Most of the time, this work is very boring and not so much thrilling. You'd better be mentally prepared..."
Speaking of this, Li Xiaofeng touched his chin and said, "This is how you go to KGB for an internship for a while and experience what kind of teacher intelligence work in person. If you are still interested, I will make arrangements for you."
No. 11, Rubyyanka Square. This is the well-known KGB headquarters. Anyway, for the Soviets, everyone knows what kind of unit it refers to whenever Rubyyanka is said. This unit can be said to be the most mysterious and powerful institution in the Soviet Union. Normal people will subconsciously avoid this square and building to avoid causing trouble.
Of course, this was before 1947. After Derzhinsky's death, Lubiyanka Square was renamed Derzhinsky Square. In the center of the square, there is a bronze statue of Derzhinsky to commemorate the founder of KGB.
Of course, this is outside No. 11, Dzerzhinsky Square. In fact, everyone who really works in KGB knows that Dzerzhinsky is not the real spiritual leader of KGB. In this era, it is Andrei Petrovic who gave the soul of this institution. Although there is no photo, portrait or sculpture of a certain immortal in the KGB headquarters, all KGB staff unanimously believe that only a certain immortal is the real symbol of KGB.
When Yevgeny walked into this building, he did not fight two people like ordinary people. On the contrary, he was very relaxed and looked at the inside of the building with an interesting look. At this time, he looked at the pedestrians coming and going in the building like a curious baby.
Apart from the security personnel who stand guard, KGB staff do not have the so-called unified uniform. They agreed that the mature habit is to wear suits and tie, and generally require black suits. Anyway, they look so calm and capable. However, what really attracted Yevgeny's attention was the gait of these people. Most men showed a walking posture with their left arm swinging naturally and their right arm remained motionless. Everyone seemed to be carved from the same mold.
Yevgeny heard a saying that the reason why KGB staff showed this gait was related to the training they had received, and in order to quickly draw the gun, they were trained to be like this.
However, KGB did not admit this, and Yevgeny didn't know whether it was true or not. He wanted to ask his uncle for advice, but every time he chatted with this uncle, the rhythm was taken away unknowingly. This is probably the control position of the superior.
KGB is very efficient. After waiting in the waiting room for less than three minutes, a capable lady took him to the third floor. After waiting outside an office for a few minutes, the Minister of the Personnel Training Department received him.
It was actually very simple to say that it was a reception. The lean minister first briefly welcomed him to join KGB, then handed him a temporary certificate directly, and sent him to participate in training. Only after passing the qualification can he officially start his internship.
This simple and efficient style surprised Yevgeny. He originally thought that he would just report this morning, and the specific arrangements would be at least tomorrow. Who would have thought that KGB's style was so efficient that there were not so many false condoms at all.
The female staff member who received Yevgeny saw his doubts and explained with a smile: "Comrade Andrei personally formulated the KGB operation preparation, which is simple, fast and accurate. Please remember these three points. We are not the kind of bureaucratic department that is procrastinating."
These three are in line with Yevgeny's habits. As a soldier who has come from the war years, dragging on the battlefield means having to eat guns. All soldiers who can survive know how important it is to be simple, fast and accurate.
The training department is also very efficient, and there is no adaptive training at all. It is serious when it comes to the beginning. Instructor Yevgeni said: "KGB does not have an adaptation period, and there are only two possibilities for people here. One is to adapt and stay, and the other is to get out of adaptation."
Yevgeny was very adaptable. The army had trained it into an efficient killing machine, and KGB was just a bit more professional.
His training career was very short. A week later, Yevgeni successfully graduated from the training department and truly obtained the internship qualification.
"Your resume says, do you know French, English, German, Spanish and Arabic?"
The examiner in charge of work arrangements was very satisfied with Yevgeny's resume. KGB liked such high-quality talents who had experienced war tempering, especially high-quality talents who had passed the language skills, which were their favorite. For KGB, such talents can go out for field work after polishing them a little.
Of course, Yevgeny didn't go out for the field so quickly. He was just an intern. He had to do copywriting work and truly understand how to be a qualified agent in actual work.
This period of time is not long, nor is it short, it is just three months. During these three months, Yevgeny knew why a certain immortal said that the spy work was not so thrilling, or even boring.
Yes, what Yevgeny has done the most in the past three months is intelligence analysis, which is a very boring job. Unlike in movies, not every piece of intelligence is so sensational, and most intelligence is as bland as boiled water. Most intelligence analysts' work is like bureaucratic staff - a cup of tea and a newspaper can make a day. The only difference is that they are not newspapers but various summed up information.
Anyway, Yevgeni was vomited after reading the information in the past three months. He felt that the text he had read in his life was not as good as those in these three months. So what's the use of reading career in these three months? At the beginning, Yevgeni really didn't think that KGB had a thousand people useful intelligence analysts, and he couldn't find any valuable information at all! But at the end of the first month, an intelligence team actually analyzed the direction of the French economy based on the fragmented information he had obtained this month, and the time later proved that this analysis report was very reliable.
This is very powerful, and later Yevgeny has seen something even more powerful. Some intelligence officers can analyze changes in US foreign policy based on the messy intelligence at hand, and some intelligence officers even foresaw an armed coup led by Britain and the United States. These living examples tell Yevgeny that intelligence analysis is indeed useful, provided that you can buy gold from garbage as high as a mountain.
Yevgeny has gained more than so much. A large amount of intelligence reading has improved his sensitivity. It turns out that those inconspicuous small information will turn into thunder. Anyway, in the past three months, he has indeed changed his temperament. He was originally like a sharp knife, giving people an external pressure, but now, his pressure has been completely restrained. He doesn't look as dazzling as before, and looks a little ordinary, but he is still the sharp bayonet inside.
Three months later, Yevgeny left the Intelligence Analysis Department and officially started field work. Of course, his first phase of internship was also qualified. Next, he was sent to Germany to act as a military officer in the Munich Consulate.
This is also an inevitable stage for field personnel to take up their posts. To put it bluntly, it is from easy to difficult. First, work in embassies and consulates in friendly countries is considered to be a study. After passing the qualification, it will be transferred step by step to embassies and consulates in hostile countries.
This job also opened Yevgeny's eyes. He had always thought that when he went out to field, he would lurk in other countries, and intelligence must be infiltrated into the enemy. To be honest, this understanding is too biased. It is not easy to successfully lurk in the country and infiltrate the enemy's key departments. I really thought that foreign intelligence counter-espionage departments were just a good meal. I really thought that only the Soviet Union had political review? If you still have to go to key departments abroad, you still have to go through review. Those who are not politically reliable must be excluded.
Therefore, the more modern it is, the harder it is to send agents to invade the enemy. The correct way is to develop the offline within the enemy. How to develop the offline? To put it bluntly, it is the work of diplomats. Do you really think that embassies and consulates abroad are institutions that apply for visas? Let’s put it this way, the most agents in embassies and consulates are engaged in spy work under the guise of diplomats. Moreover, it is safer to do intelligence work under the guise of diplomats. Generally, slightly decent diplomats have diplomatic immunity, and even if they are arrested, they will not be arrested. It is much safer.
After working as a diplomatic military officer in Germany for a while, Yevgeny's understanding of intelligence work deepened a little. This industry is indeed not easy. Not only is it difficult to develop moles within the enemy, but the consequences are also serious once discovered. It is basically inevitable to be deported. And it is not easy to be good in this industry, because everyone knows that the most spies in embassies and consulates, so the counter-espionage agencies of various countries stare at these diplomats with wide eyes. When they leave embassies and consulates, they have 100% tails to keep an eye on them. It is difficult to get rid of them!
And under such difficult conditions, the agents must complete their own tasks. After performing several missions, Yevgeny also fell in love with this task. It is indeed very challenging and exciting. Every time he passes secret information, he can't help but be excited whenever he thinks that there will be a group of tails following him.
It should be said that Yevgeny has a very high understanding. He got started in just one month and basically can complete the tasks of his superiors every time. Of course, these tasks are not so dangerous and difficult, but it is no longer easy for a newcomer.
After working in Munich for three months, Yevgeni, who was recognized, was recalled to KGB's headquarters again, and this time, he will receive a very special task. Rokwensky, the Minister of the KGB Middle East Affairs Department, personally assigned him a task: "Comrade Yevgeni, according to the investigation, we believe that your Arabic is fully qualified, and we are lacking comrades with expertise in this area. Are you willing to work in the Middle East Affairs Department?"
In fact, this is why Rokwensky knew who Yevgeny’s uncle was, otherwise he would not have sent a solicitation to ordinary agents, and he would have passed by just one order. How dare you disobey the organization’s arrangements?
In fact, Rokwensky didn't want to hand over this task to Yevgeny at the beginning because the Middle East was very unsafe, and sending his immediate boss's nephew to that unsafe ghost place was a tragic look. It was Li Xiaofeng who made Rokwensky change his mind. He was still more concerned about his nephew's situation. After learning that Yevgeny's performance was very good, he personally issued an instruction and threw Yevgeny to the Middle East.
This is a shame for Rockvinsky. The Middle East Affairs Department does lack professional talents to speak Arabic, but he really doesn't want it with Yevgeny's background, but the superiors threw it at the eldest master. It seems that it is impossible to refuse. So Rockvinsky was so upset that he thought of a good way to have the best of both worlds.
What is the best way? That is to throw Yevgeny into Egypt and his work. Compared with the war-torn Palestine, Syria and Jordan, the situation in Egypt is relatively stable. At least the British can maintain their rule temporarily. It is better to go to this peaceful place than to keep Palestine in a cold gun?
Moreover, Rokwensky was also smart enough to see through the intentions of his superiors. In his opinion, a certain immortal threw Yevgeny down and gilded. He had only been working in Germany for three months. This time he went back to Egypt, probably only a few months. What dangers would Egypt have in a few months? When he came back, his resume would be shiny and beautiful!
In this naive way, Rokvinsky planned to arrange for Yevgeny to go to Egypt. Of course, he also knew that he could not say how good and safe Egypt was. Young people were strong and did not know that the sky was high. What if the young man in front of him took the initiative to ask to go to a dangerous area, wouldn’t he betray him to death?
So Rokwensky said: "The work situation in Egypt is very serious. The British have been enslaving the Egyptian people. Now they urgently need a comrade with outstanding work ability to open up the situation. I personally think you are very suitable!"
To put it bluntly, Rokwensky is just a fool. Anyway, he picked up Yevgeny high and made him happy and less trouble. However, Rokwensky really made mistakes about Yevgeny's character. After experiencing the baptism of World War II, he has long been no longer a little kid who can fool with just a few hats. Previous intelligence analysis work has given him a clear understanding of the situation in the Middle East, and the situation in Egypt is not very nervous at all. Although some anti-British sentiment broke out there, it seems that it is not yet a weather yet, and the British attaches great importance to the Suez Canal to make them stationed in Egypt. In a short period of time, it is calm.
Anyway, Yevgeny immediately knew what kind of person his new superior was, and he was definitely an old official. Of course, this does not mean that Yevgeny looked down on Rokwensky a little, because Yevgeny was not a fledgling boy, and he was not sincerely fooling him. I was probably scared by the powerful uncle behind him, so he tried his best to get him a safer Egypt. From another perspective, this is also a manifestation of his understanding of flexibility. In Yevgeny's opinion, it would be irresponsible to really give him a very important position.
Yes, Yevgeny is quite self-aware. Although the evaluations he received in the previous few internships were excellent, he knew about his own affairs. Yevgeny knew that these excellences were largely giving his uncle a face to a certain extent. According to his true performance, he could only give him a good or qualified one. Giving excellence depends entirely on the face of the leader.
Yevgeny knew how much moisture he had in his excellent assessment and had a real evaluation of his real abilities. With his current level, he really could not be entrusted with important tasks. It is best to accumulate experience in a peaceful place like Egypt, which is considered a hot spot.
So Yevgeny didn't say anything, "happily" accepted the "important" mission and prepared to go to Egypt. This time he went to Egypt as a journalist, and a German journalist. Because the British were very careful about the Soviet Union, Soviet citizens would be under the focus of their guards as soon as they entered Egypt, and they could not do anything at all.
It is not difficult for Yevgeny to pretend to be a German journalist. He looks like a purely-bred Aryan, and he speaks authentic German even if he meets a real German. Yevgeny's main task is to collect all social information in Egypt. Well, to put it bluntly, it is to collect public information. To be honest, this task is really very easy for him. Even he himself thinks that he will not stay in Egypt for long, and he may be transferred to another position by the powerful uncle in a few months to continue to "gilded".
But what Yevgeny didn't expect was that his mission would not be easy at all, because Egypt was about to be in chaos...
