Vladimir laughed heartily and patted Peter on the shoulder. "Good, good, good! As expected of our first operation team! You didn't embarrass me! "
Moreover, this time, he had helped him gain face in front of Huo Shaoheng, which was even more significant.
Peter still looked sleepy. His eyelids drooped, and he said calmly, "This time, it's all thanks to Major Lina. She reminded us to carry RPG launchers and incendiary bombs, and when we were besieged, she boldly suggested leaping over the 18-wheeler truck."
Vladimir was overjoyed when he heard this. He said to Lina in Russian with an extremely pleasant expression, "Major Lina, you've made a great contribution this time. You'll be promoted to lieutenant colonel when you get back."
"Thank you, Lieutenant General Vladimir," Lina said calmly. She stood at attention and saluted. Her face was expressionless, and she had the demeanor of a general who "wasn't happy about material gains or sad about personal losses".
Eh, although this woman wasn't good-looking, she really had a good voice.
Gu Nianzhi, who was attracted to sound, couldn't help liking this calm and composed lady even more.
Moreover, she looked very similar to the Huaxia Empire people, so her sense of familiarity with her increased exponentially.
Gu Nianzhi didn't understand Russian, but from the way Vladimir and the two KGB members in front of her responded, she knew that they were reporting on their work. They had probably done a good job and had received Vladimir's strong praise.
Gu Nianzhi quietly took a step back and moved to the driver's side. She asked in a low voice, "Uncle Ivan, what are they talking about?"
The middle-aged driver also whispered in English.
Gu Nianzhi was elated when she heard this. She couldn't help nodding and saying, "… So it's all because of this lady! She's so amazing! "
It was rare for Gu Nianzhi to be completely convinced by someone else.
Other than Huo Shaoheng, this was probably the second person she was completely convinced of.
As a woman, it wasn't easy to make a name for herself in an organization like the KGB with her own abilities.
Gu Nianzhi excitedly cheered for the lady!
Vladimir looked at Huo Shaoheng proudly. "How is it? Major General Huo, do you still like our people? "
Everyone said that the Huaxia Empire's Special Operations Forces was very powerful. In the past few years, their international reputation had risen, and they were almost overshadowed by the old KGB.
Although they weren't in a direct competition, everyone in this line of work wanted to be number one. No one was willing to submit to the other, and no one was willing to be number two.
But there could only be one first.
Huo Shaoheng smiled and said politely, "Of course, if the famous KGB couldn't even deal with a few gang members, people would laugh their heads off if word got out."
Vladimir was happy at first, but the more he thought about it, the more unhappy he became.
Was she praising him or insulting him?
He didn't even treat his subordinates in such a pleasant manner.
He put away his smile and said with a straight face, "Alright, get in the car." He then asked, "Has the follow-up work been assigned?"
"It's in progress," Peter said cautiously and remained silent in front of Huo Shaoheng.
Lina, on the other hand, had a poker face from beginning to end. The expression on her face seemed to be stuck with 502 glue, and she didn't even need to smile.
Vladimir looked at her, then at Gu Nianzhi, who was whispering to the driver and smiling happily. He turned around and said, "Major Lina, the Huaxia Empire woman over there is called Cereus. She's our distinguished guest. From today onwards, you'll be in charge of her security. I want you to stay close to her and ensure her safety!"
"Yes, Lieutenant General Vladimir!" Lina stood at attention again and accepted the mission.
She walked to Gu Nianzhi's side with a wooden face and stood there like a bodyguard.
Gu Nianzhi was so excited that she didn't know where to put her hands when she saw the lady she admired walk to her side.
She couldn't help wiping her hands on her clothes before reaching out to Lina. She greeted her warmly in English, "Hello, I'm Cereus. Nice to meet you! I admire you so much! You looked so cool when you carried the rocket launcher on your shoulder! Can I ask for your autograph? "
Lina lowered her eyes as if she thought she was being too noisy, but she didn't say anything. She didn't shake hands with her and only said something in Russian.
Gu Nianzhi looked at the driver next to her for help. "What did the lady say?"
The driver smiled and punched Lina. "Lina, don't you speak English? You have a standard Oxford accent. Our Cereus also has an Oxford accent! "
Lina glanced at Gu Nianzhi and replied in English, "… I can sign, but you don't have to thank me. I'm a woman, so I'm not handsome. Thank you."
It was indeed a standard Oxford accent, and her words were concise and to the point. Although her attitude was a little cold, it wasn't cold. Instead, there was an inherent calmness and composure.
Gu Nianzhi felt that even if she lived for another 100 years, she wouldn't have such a calm aura.
No wonder she had become the backbone of the KGB at the age of 29!
The only person who was more impressive than her was Major General Huo, right?
Gu Nianzhi felt even more proud of Huo Shaoheng.
She smiled and said, "Miss Lina speaks really good English. I'll go find my Polaroid later. Let's take a photo, and then you can sign the back of the photo for me, okay?"
The driver asked curiously, "You still use Polaroid now?!"
"What's wrong? Can't I? "Gu Nianzhi picked up her phone." Phones also have their shortcomings, so I need Polaroid to make up for them. "
In fact, Polaroid was something that Huo Shaoheng had brought along, so it definitely wasn't used to print disposable photos.
However, it also had this function, so Gu Nianzhi borrowed it.
The driver watched as Gu Nianzhi went to the car to take out the Polaroid. He quickly stood over and took the initiative to say, "Cereus, take a photo for me. I'll sign it for you." He even made a gesture of writing with his hand.
Gu Nianzhi had taken a few photos with the driver and Vladimir in Red Square, but those photos were all on her phone and couldn't be printed out for the time being.
Seeing that the driver had taken the initiative to ask, she quickly nodded with a smile. "I couldn't ask for more, Uncle Ivan! Come, let's take a photo together! "
She stuffed the Polaroid into Huo Shaoheng's arms. "Major General Huo, take a few photos for us!"
Huo Shaoheng quietly picked up the Polaroid and aimed it at Gu Nianzhi and the driver. With a click, he took a picture of the two of them smiling.
Gu Nianzhi had a small face, fair skin, long eyebrows, big eyes, a straight nose, and naturally defined lips. It was as if they had been painted, and they were especially photogenic.
The driver stood next to her, holding up a V sign and smiling charmingly.
Then Gu Nianzhi walked to Lina's side and looked at her enviously. She was almost 1.75 meters tall, five centimeters taller than herself.
"Miss Lina, shall we take a photo together?" Gu Nianzhi asked enthusiastically.
Lina nodded. "Just call me Lina."
Hearing the words' Miss Lina 'gave her goosebumps.
Gu Nianzhi nodded embarrassedly. "Okay, Lina."
She carefully stood beside Lina and secretly made a V sign. She smiled with satisfaction and pride.
Huo Shaoheng also took a few photos of her and Lina and quickly printed them out with the Polaroid.
Gu Nianzhi picked the best photo of her and Lina and signed it with both hands. She smiled almost obsequiously. "Lina, I have a pen here."
Lina looked at the photo carefully for a while.
This little girl was really too beautiful. Just looking at the photo made people breathless. She looked even better in person than in the photo.
"You're so beautiful." Lina said in a flat voice. There was no exaggeration in her tone, but her praise was very sincere. It was obvious that she was sincere and not just being polite.
Gu Nianzhi blushed from the compliment and murmured a few times. She watched Lina sign each stroke before putting the photo into her little bag as if it was a treasure.
The driver had been waiting for a long time. When he saw Lina sign, he quickly reached out and said, "It's my turn."
Gu Nianzhi smiled and handed the pen to the driver.
When the driver signed, his eyebrows flew up and down, and he looked especially proud.
After signing, Gu Nianzhi put the driver's signed photo into her small bag and waved her hand. "Everyone, get in the car!"
Huo Shaoheng: "…"
Vladimir's face was drawn to a long line.
He called out to Lina, "You sit with Cereus."
Lina had wanted to go back to her Hummer to modify.
However, Vladimir had asked her to follow this little girl from Huaxia, so she obeyed his orders.
This time, there were five people in their jeep.
The driver and Vladimir were still sitting in the front row.
Gu Nianzhi, Huo Shaoheng, and Lina sat in the back row.
In order to show their closeness, Gu Nianzhi sat in the middle and leaned against Lina.
She kept looking at her and asking questions, especially about her use of the shoulder-mounted rocket launcher. She asked all kinds of questions, big and small. She was practically rubbing her hands together and couldn't wait to go and have one herself!
Vladimir said with a sullen expression, "… Cereus, have you never played with an RPG rocket launcher with Major General Huo?"
F * ck!
What did he mean by "RPG rocket launcher"?!
Wasn't that a toy?!
Gu Nianzhi rolled her eyes 180 times in her heart. It was only in order to maintain her image in front of the girl she admired, that she didn't show it.
"Vladimir, you seem to have a misunderstanding about our country." Gu Nianzhi smiled and corrected his misconception. "I'm not a soldier, so why would I touch a rocket launcher?"
Even if he was a soldier, there were still different branches of the military, okay?
"Really? You're not a soldier? "Lina suddenly asked.
Huo Shaoheng glanced at her, then looked away as if nothing had happened. He said to Gu Nianzhi, "Are you hungry? There's cake in the suitcase. "
Gu Nianzhi wanted to say "I'm not hungry", but in fact, she hadn't eaten anything since yesterday evening until almost noon today.
Gu Nianzhi rubbed her stomach and nodded resignedly. "I'm hungry, I want to eat."
Huo Shaoheng dragged out the suitcase and took out the cake from the small food box.
Gu Nianzhi was about to eat it when she remembered that she couldn't eat it alone. She quickly used the small knife in the food box to cut the cake into five small pieces and wrapped them in a napkin. She gave one piece to the driver and Vladimir in front of her, and one piece to Lina.
Lina glanced at Gu Nianzhi and shook her head. "I don't like sweets."
Gu Nianzhi raised an eyebrow. "Okay, then I won't stand on ceremony."
Huo Shaoheng didn't like sweets either.
However, Gu Nianzhi still asked him out of courtesy, "Major General Huo, do you want some?"
She asked as she stuffed the small cake into her mouth.
Soon, two of the three small pieces of cake in her hand had entered her stomach.
There was only one piece left. Huo Shaoheng suddenly said, "… Yes." Then he leaned over and ate the small cake in Gu Nianzhi's hand in one bite.
He bit deeply, and the tip of his tongue brushed past Gu Nianzhi's finger. It was numb.
Gu Nianzhi's face flushed red.
She quickly pulled her finger out of Huo Shaoheng's mouth and wiped it on the napkin, thinking that she hadn't left a trace.
In fact, the other three people in the jeep had seen it.
… Even when everyone was hungry, they still didn't forget to show off their affection!
Major General Huo, that's really enough!
