Chapter 351 The Invisible War (4)
Berlin, Relaisstrasse 1353, compared to the shabby surroundings, is quite well-maintained. The reason is simple: a supply warehouse for the Allied Military Police Security Command is located here. The specifics of the supplies are unspecified, but the Allies immediately repaired the facilities here to obtain these supplies, and the Soviet army also cooperated, which was obviously rare in the Soviet-occupied zone.
A group of flower-growing families, wearing military police helmets and armbands, led by several jeeps and light armored vehicles, escorted several large trucks. They drove out from here, heading south along Relais Avenue toward the flower-growing family-controlled area. In the car, Major Luo Keyu appeared relaxed, but in reality, he was extremely nervous. He constantly glanced at the surroundings, especially the Soviet troops along the way, fearing they might suddenly block him. The Soviet troops and checkpoints along the way remained intact, allowing this daily march to pass freely as usual.
Unbeknownst to Luo Keyu, the Soviet covert operations organization, the GGC KGB's Berlin operations group, had already targeted them. The Flowering People's Military Police, using vehicles from the Security Command, secretly transported some Germans from their occupied territories, and had long been targeted by these spy organizations. However, because the Flowering People's military police were transporting ordinary people, the Soviets knew that the Flowering People's amassed a lot of basic industrial equipment from Germany and Japan, which they despised, and would inevitably need skilled German and Japanese workers. Therefore, they did not care about their secret smuggling of ordinary German workers. However, due to the ideological split between the United States, Britain, and the Soviet Union, the Flowering People became a key force, especially in the Far East and the Pacific. In particular, the Soviet Union leased several military ports in the Far East, and the land transportation lines relied on passing through Flowering People's territory. In Hokkaido and the Peninsula, the Flowering People's attitude was very important.
The Soviet high-level officials were also worried about another thing. If the situation worsened and a hot war broke out, the Soviet Union was very wary of the Chinese people's combat effectiveness in World War II. If the Chinese people turned to the United States and Britain, it would obviously not be a good thing for the Soviet Union. Moreover, the Soviet Union would directly face huge military pressure from the east.
The KGB received orders to find loopholes in the Communist Party and force them to respond, or at the very least, to neutralize them. This way, if the Soviet Union fell out with the United States and Britain, it wouldn't have to focus on the Communist Party. So, the KGB decided to seize the Communist Party in the Soviet-occupied zone of Berlin and secretly exploit the incident with the military police to force the Communist Party to promise neutrality.
It was February, and Berlin was still bitterly cold, but Luo Keyu wiped the sweat from his brow. The Military Police and Liu Molong's Special Operations Team had planned this operation several times. Previously, they had secretly transported some technicians and even the scientists' families. But today, they were carrying the scientists along, and they were inevitably nervous.
By this time, the convoy had reached the final Soviet checkpoint. Passing through here would allow them to enter the territory occupied by the Flower Planters, signifying the successful completion of their mission. He exchanged a glance with the Special Operations Team leader, who was disguised as a military police officer. After receiving his hint, he composed himself and proceeded to the checkpoint as planned.
As the Soviet sentry raised the flag, the convoy slowly came to a halt. Luo Keyu and the interpreter disembarked and approached the sentry, handing him the documents from the Security Command according to the usual procedure. A group of Soviet military police approached, conducting a random identity check and a routine personnel inspection. Of course, the flower-growing military police, as usual, refused to allow the Soviet military police to inspect the trucks.
The Soviet military police completed the routine inspection quickly. When the leading military police returned the documents to Luo Keyu, Luo felt relieved. He gently took the documents, turned around, breathed a sigh of relief, and was about to get in the car and leave.
"Stop!" A group of Soviet men in black suddenly emerged from the shadows. They showed their credentials to the Soviet military police and exchanged a few words. Immediately, the Soviet military police, as if facing a formidable enemy, rushed out from their posts and, together with the black-clad crowd, surrounded the military police convoy.
Although very nervous, Luo Keyu, at the suggestion of the special operations team leader, walked over with the interpreter and, with the help of the interpreter, questioned the Soviet military police: "What are you doing? Are you trying to violate the treaty?"
The leading black-clad man urged Luo and the translator to remain calm. Then, he produced an order signed by the Supreme Commander of the Soviet Occupation Forces and addressed them, "Captain, first of all, it's not us who have violated the treaty. It's you who have been using your military police status to engage in illegal activities. We have solid evidence and are now ordered to inspect you."
Luo Keyu was shocked. Had the truth been exposed? But he still protested reluctantly, "You are slandering me. I protest. You must get out of the way immediately and let us pass!"
Ignoring Major Luo's protests, the black-clad leader issued instructions to the Soviet military police and the men in black, ready to charge the trucks. Of course, the Flower Planting Family military police were no pushovers and immediately stepped forward to stop them, leading to a standoff. Clearly prepared, the men in black again signaled the Soviet military police and the men in black not to act rashly but to simply surround the convoy.
Then, the black-clad leader appeared patient. He walked up to Major Luo and said, "Major, we have sufficient evidence to prove that you have violated the agreement. You'd better contact your superiors immediately and have them come over." Then, with a wave of his hand, a group of Soviet and German reporters emerged from the shadows and took a fierce photo of the two opposing sides.
Yang Hong had actually been in his office, awaiting final news. However, a call from General Wang confirmed his judgment: the operation had failed. The Soviets detained the convoy, and a standoff ensued between the two sides, further deteriorating the situation.
Wang Qingqiang, the alert commander, had already rushed over. Yang Hong was still considering how to respond when Wei Maide called. Yang Hong had to interrupt his thoughts and pick up the phone to answer the old man.
On the other end of the phone, Wei Maide's voice came, seemingly concerned, but actually gloating: "Little guy, how are you? Do you want our help?"
Yang Hong knew full well that the old man was using this as an excuse to drag him down again. He had learned the news so quickly, clearly indicating that the Soviet Union had spies from the United States. Yang Hong even considered that perhaps the United States had informed the Soviet Union of this matter in order to stir up trouble between the two sides. His thoughts raced, and he calmly replied, "Mr. Weimade, you know, this is just a small matter. I believe Commander Wang has already rushed over, and the matter will be resolved quickly."
