Gu Nianzhi looked at Reinitz's instant voice message and was a little speechless.
She had just left a message …
Huo Shaoheng saw Gu Nianzhi's uneasy expression and smiled. "Listen to it and see what he wants."
"Okay." Huo Shaoheng didn't mind, so Gu Nianzhi clicked on Reinitz's voice message.
Reinitz's clear baritone voice came from her phone.
He spoke in German and seemed to say without thinking, "Cereus, you're also in Moscow?"
"When did you get here? Let's have dinner together when you have time. "
The last message was a little longer than the previous ones, and it was immediately deleted after it was sent.
Gu Nianzhi didn't have time to open it. "…"
Huo Shaoheng crossed his arms and said, "Are you going to eat with him?"
Gu Nianzhi shook her head. "Forget it, I don't know what to say when I see him. I think of Li Dexi whenever I see him, and then I think of Bai Shuang. "
This memory was so bad that Gu Nianzhi didn't want to relive it.
Huo Shaoheng was relieved. "It's good that you know. Get up quickly, I'll take you out to play after breakfast. "
"Huh? Go out to play? Where? "Gu Nianzhi was very happy." Are you free? Can you go out? It won't affect your work, right? "
She was still thinking about his work at a time like this.
Huo Shaoheng's heart warmed slightly. He patted her head and his voice involuntarily softened. "It's okay, I can accompany you all day today."
Tomorrow was the opening ceremony of the National Special Forces Competition. Today, everyone was resting, and the military camps were not training today. Everyone was given a collective day off.
Many special forces soldiers also went out to play together.
Gu Nianzhi happily washed up, changed into clothes for going out, and went downstairs to the hotel with Huo Shaoheng for breakfast.
The hotel's breakfast place was a buffet.
A row of cupboards against the wall was filled with a dazzling array of food.
On the side of the cupboards at the entrance were all kinds of fruits, and there were many tropical fruits, which was rare in Moscow, which was a relatively high latitude.
Large bunches of yellow bananas were so sweet that they were sickeningly sweet. The bright red cherries were sweet and juicy. The green apples didn't look sour. Instead, there was a hint of sourness in the sweetness, just enough to arouse one's appetite.
Strawberries and flat peaches were almost the same size when placed next to each other.
There was also watermelon, pineapple, mango, and melon, all cut into slices and placed neatly on shiny silver plates.
Gu Nianzhi looked around as she walked. She casually picked up the buffet plate and filled it with some cherries and mangoes. She stirred it on the natural yogurt and ate it.
After passing the fruit section, there were all kinds of nuts and dried berries. Of course, there were also the essential raisins and dried cranberries.
Then there were all kinds of drinks, including the famous sparkling mineral water, all kinds of freshly squeezed fruit juices, beer, red wine, and even vodka.
The corners of Gu Nianzhi's mouth twitched when she saw the vodka. "Someone's drinking vodka so early in the morning?"
Huo Shaoheng smiled but said nothing.
What kind of misunderstanding was this about a warrior race?
The men here would rather live without women than without vodka.
And the women here drink industrial alcohol like vodka.
Gu Nianzhi walked past the beverage section and didn't even glance at the salad and cheese sections before stopping at the meat section.
As expected of the meat section, the aroma of the food wafted over.
Gu Nianzhi roughly counted. There were at least a dozen types of ham, sausages, and smoked salmon.
Next to the meat section was the bread section.
There were more than 20 kinds of bread to choose from.
People who had difficulty choosing would probably want to cry when they saw so much food.
Gu Nianzhi was very picky about meat. Her favorite seafood wasn't available here, so she chose smoked salmon and mixed grain bread.
She broke the mixed grain bread in half and sandwiched the smoked salmon in the middle. It was just like eating roujiamo at home.
Gu Nianzhi ate happily.
Huo Shaoheng waited for her to finish eating before giving her a small bowl of something that looked like honey jelly. He said, "Try this. It's very rare in the country."
"Huh? What's this? " Gu Nianzhi took a bite curiously. It tasted a little like fungus. It was a little soft and tender, but it was so sweet.
"Beehive," Huo Shaoheng said with a smile.
Gu Nianzhi: "!!!"
Just as she was about to spit out the beehive, Huo Shaoheng said again, "… It's for beauty."
Gu Nianzhi: "…"
She had to swallow it even with her eyes closed!
After eating the sweet beehive, Huo Shaoheng brought Gu Nianzhi a cup of Russian black tea. It could relieve her of the grease.
Gu Nianzhi looked at the cup used by the hotel to drink black tea.
It was just an ordinary glass with a handle, but the cup was pasted with a medieval bronze mural. It was immediately of a different grade.
It looked like a work of art.
"I have to say, the artistic temperament of the Russians is still unparalleled." Gu Nianzhi sighed. "They have Tolstoy in literature, Repin in painters, and Tchaikovsky in music. Each of them is one of the best in the world."
"That's right …" Huo Shaoheng said with a smile, "The design and painting of their Tu-160 nuclear bomber are so beautiful that you can't believe it's a long-range nuclear strategic bomber. It's as beautiful as a white swan flying high with its head held high. Although its real name is the Pirate Flag, everyone who has seen it calls it the White Swan."
Gu Nianzhi's expression was subtle.
She was sighing about literature, art, music, and all the other beautiful things, while Huo Shaoheng's attention was focused on the "beautiful white swan-like nuclear strategic long-range bomber"..
Gu Nianzhi pursed her lips and couldn't help retorting, "Are you sure a nuclear strategic bomber can be compared to literature and art?"
One was to create beauty, and the other was to destroy beauty.
How was there any similarity?
"You don't believe me?" Huo Shaoheng took out his phone and found a few online pictures of the Tu-160. "Take a look for yourself. If it doesn't look good, consider it my loss."
Gu Nianzhi glanced at it doubtfully, and her gaze was immediately attracted by the plane that was flying freely like a white swan.
Between the blue sky and white clouds, a large plane with very smooth lines wandered between the clouds.
The slender front end of the fuselage really looked like a beautiful and proud white swan.
The white paint didn't reflect at all when it was so close to the sunlight. It didn't have the aggressive layer of light that was blinding. Instead, under the sunlight, it looked even more gentle and affectionate. It was like a lover's fair face, making people feel close to it.
Gu Nianzhi could hardly breathe freely.
After a long while, she let out a long sigh and said, "… Are you sure this is a nuclear strategic bomber?! This color is so beautiful! It's so white, but it's not dazzling at all under the sun! "
How did such a beautiful thing get mixed up with that kind of strategic deterrent weapon?
Did something strange sneak in?
Gu Nianzhi had only seen the United States' U2 stealth plane, which was as evil and ghostly as a black bat. She had never seen such a noble and beautiful bomber.
She always felt that such a beautiful thing didn't match the word "nuclear bombing".
"This is Russia's most advanced matte white air camouflage paint. It can also reflect and interfere with radar detection signals, making it a stealth plane." Huo Shaoheng sighed. "It's a pity that even Russia can't build such a good plane."
Gu Nianzhi: "???"
"The prototype crashed during the test flight, and a lot of valuable information was lost. The engineers from back then had already passed away, and their blueprints were like heavenly books. After the collapse of the former Soviet Union, the TU-160's information was incomplete, and new white swans couldn't be built. Now there are only eight white swans in service, and one lost means one less. "
Huo Shaoheng was very familiar with the TU-160. Gu Nianzhi couldn't help wondering how long he had coveted this thing.
..
After breakfast, the two of them left the hotel and walked towards St. Basil's Ascension Cathedral in Moscow.
Seeing the tall building with nine onions in the distance, Gu Nianzhi blinked. "Isn't this the Kremlin and Red Square we came to yesterday?"
"Yes, this cathedral is on the edge of Red Square."
"Since when did you like churches?" Gu Nianzhi was puzzled.
Huo Shaoheng curled his lips and led her away.
His fingers rubbed the ring box he had bought earlier in his pocket. Huo Shaoheng, who had always been calm, was slightly excited.
But he still didn't say anything and led her into the church.
There were very few people in the church in the morning.
Gu Nianzhi was attracted by the colorful murals around her, and her eyes couldn't take it all in.
Huo Shaoheng was about to speak when he suddenly heard a low voice coming from a corner of the church's confession hall.
He looked up, and his gaze suddenly froze.
The archbishop of the church was wearing a black Orthodox robe and was talking to a tall man standing in front of him.
The man had his back to them and was also wearing a monk's robe.
Not long after, the man drew a cross in front of his chest and turned to leave.
He turned around and saw Huo Shaoheng and Gu Nianzhi in front of him. He couldn't help but stop in his tracks.
Gu Nianzhi's gaze turned and stopped on the man in black monk's robe in front of her.
It was actually Reinitz.
Gu Nianzhi's eyes suddenly widened.
Why was Reinitz wearing a priest's robe?!
