v2 Chapter 10 - spring and snow
?The spring on the Heilongjiang River seems to come very late this year. In April, the ice and snow on the river surface began to melt, and the quiet flowing river water washed away a section of ice in the middle of the river, re-displaying the river flow. in front of people. . qβ5. /
On the steel bridge connecting Heihe and Blagoveshchensk, a Dongfeng container truck with a “Black A” license plate exited the Heihe border checkpoint and slowly drove towards the Soviet border checkpoint.
At this time, it happened to be two o’clock in the afternoon. This time is also the time when there are the most inbound and outbound vehicles on the Jiangqiao. Similarly, it is also the most stringent period of border inspection between China and the Soviet Union. Looking from the bridge, you can see that at the Soviet border checkpoint, dozens of soldiers in military uniforms are busy checking every passing truck, and the military dogs jumping up and down mixed in the crowd, Especially terrifying.
In the observation deck of the border checkpoint, Major Belikov carefully observed every truck coming from the bridge through the telescope in his hand. Therefore, he quickly found the ordinary looking truck. two-section container truck.
“It’s finally here,” Belikov put down his telescope and let out a long sigh. As a major, he usually does not come to the checkpoint to be on duty, but today, it is obviously a special situation.
After arranging the collar of the military uniform, Belikov did not dare to delay any longer. He took his military cap from the hat rack and ran downstairs quickly.
“Open the No. 4 backup gate!” Running downstairs, Belikov knocked on the window of the machine room, shouted casually, and then walked quickly towards the checkpoint with two soldiers.
A few minutes later, under the guidance of Belikov, Dongfeng Daka bypassed the checkpoint, drove directly into the alternate passage, and finally stopped in front of a special military parking lot inside the checkpoint.
The door opened, and Guo Shouyun, who was wearing a casual fleece jacket, jumped out of the car first, followed by Nina, who had just changed into a military jacket in the car. After a lapse of nearly months, this time back to Blagoveshchensk, both Guo Shouyun and Nina have a brand new experience.
“Comrade Colonel!” Berrykov ran after the truck, first gave Nina a military salute, and then said to Guo Shouyun, “Mr. Guo, you are finally here. I’ve been waiting here, I didn’t expect you to come here at this time.”
“Hehe, I’m really sorry, some things were delayed on the way, um, don’t…” Guo Shouyun stretched out his hand first and said at the same time with a kind smile.
“Mr. Guo can just call me Belikov,” Belikov hurriedly reached out and shook hands with Guo Shouyun, saying at the same time. To be honest, Belikov did not know what the relationship between the Chinese in front of him had and the officers of the division, and his rank was not high enough. But he knows one thing, that is, this person is not simple no matter what. Look at everything that happened today. First, Major General Suzyhoff of the division personally called and asked him to guide the Chinese surnamed Guo to enter the customs. Then, those foreign trade monitors who wandered around the customs all day in the past, He just walked away in a daze, and has not come back until now. What does all this show? Obviously, this only shows that the Chinese surnamed Guo in front of him is definitely a person with hands and eyes.
“Ah, Comrade Belikov, it’s really hard for you,” Guo Shouyun let go of his hand, and then continued, “According to the plan, we should have passed the customs in the morning. Hey, but to buy some for some friends. gift, so it was delayed, um…”
Guo Shouyun said, turned his head to look at the busy checkpoint not far away, and said, “I think you are very busy here, otherwise, let’s start checking now. After we’re done, we can continue on our way. I think Comrade Susykhov should be impatient.”
“Mr. Guo is too polite, these are what we should do,” Belikov smiled, but secretly glanced at Nina carefully, the other party’s icy expression made him not see anything strange. In desperation, he had to pretend to think for a while, and said, “As for inspection, hehe, I think it’s fine, Mr. Guo looks like a serious businessman, and there will never be any prohibited items in your goods. “
“This…isn’t it appropriate?” Guo Shouyun rubbed his palms and said with a bit of anxiety.
“Hehe, there’s nothing inappropriate,” Belikov beckoned to the two who followed him, and said at the same time, “Mr. Guo just needs to sign his name on the transit register, hehe, this stylized I still have to walk through the scene, otherwise I won’t be able to explain it to the top.”
“Of course, that’s of course, cooperating with your customs clearance inspection is also the obligation of each of us businessmen,” Guo Shouyun smiled, smiling happily, he knew that from now on, this country on the Sino-Soviet border Customs, at least on the Soviet side, was nothing to him and his company.
“Oh, that’s right,” Guo Shouyun said to Nina after taking the register from a follower of Belikov, without looking up, “Nina, go take us with you. I brought those two boxes of cigarettes down, sigh, I didn’t bring anything good this time, even if it was for Comrade Byelikov and the brothers who were closed, let’s relieve the boredom.”
“Well,” Nina was quite obedient. She turned around and climbed into the carriage, then kicked off two small boxes of twenty-bar Hiltons.
Two boxes of American-made cigarettes fell from the air to the ground, making two muffled sounds of “puff”. These two muffled sounds seemed to hit Belikov’s heart, and he was ecstatic. As an officer specializing in border trade inspections, he naturally knew that such “luxury” consumer goods were prohibited materials. With just these two boxes of cigarettes, he had reason to detain Guo Shouyun’s entire vehicle. But having said that, he didn’t dare to give this order. Of course he could detain Guo Shouyun and all the goods he brought with him today, but tomorrow, maybe they will be able to come out of the customs detention center calmly, and he, the major, Gotta pack up and go. Belikov’s loyalty to the country has not reached the level of being willing to risk his own future and life.
Now the situation is very obvious. People threw out these two boxes of contraband and gave him as a gift, that is to let him make a choice – “get on board” or “” out”, it’s you, how do you choose?
“Why, Comrade Belikov doesn’t think that my gift is too light, right?” Guo Shouyun said with a smile, not seeing any movement from Belikov after signing.
“Ah, no, no,” Belikov recovered from his astonishment, squeezed out a smile, and said, “I just think that Mr. is too polite… Well, these… I will accept it, if If you need any help from me in the future, just open your mouth.”
“That’s natural, I’ll often run on this road in the future, I’m afraid there won’t be very few opportunities to trouble you,” Guo Shouyun handed back the registration book, rubbed his hands and said, “Okay, since that’s the case, I won’t stop I’m interrupting your work, time is running out, I have to rush to meet Comrade Susykhov.”
“Oh, please get in the car, sir,” said Belikov with a smile on his face, “if you have a chance to come over in the future, please come and sit with me. good.”
“Yes, yes.” Guo Shouyun waved his hand and jumped into the car.
“Major,” said a soldier behind Belikov, looking at the truck passing by, “this guy is generous enough. The sale is two boxes of American goods. In my opinion, in his car…”
“Shut up!” Before the soldier could finish speaking, Byelikov sternly said, “If you want to get out of the army in a safe and secure way, then give me a little more control over your mouth!”
“Yes! Comrade Major.” The soldier shuddered in fright and responded hastily.
“Go, move this box to my office, and take the other box to share with the guys.” Belikov said with a satisfied nod.
“These are all contraband…” the soldier hesitated.
“Contraband?” Belikov scoffed at the soldier’s statement, he sneered, “Contraband is the one that someone checked, and now… hum, where is there any other contraband.”
