Chapter 186 KGB Headquarters
...
Moscow, just past seven in the morning.
Walking out of the familiar door of the apartment and feeling the unique coolness here in the morning, Long Yun subconsciously closed his collar.
After waking up from his confused sleep, Long Yun returned to this strange parallel world inexplicably; perhaps the difference between the tropical climate and Moscow was a bit big, which made him a little uncomfortable for a while.
Having said that, the recent times of time travel have almost never thought about it, but have happened subconsciously.
Does this mean that he has begun to get used to the life of wearing and wearing this way?
Returning to this parallel world again, having delicious breakfast in the apartment, according to the arrangement of the KGB agent, Long Yun took a Moscow brand sedan with an inconspicuous appearance and drove through the still deserted streets.
In his schedule today, he was visiting the intelligence center of the huge Soviet Union, the headquarters of the Soviet National Security Council at No. 11 Rubyanka Street, Moscow.
The KGB (kГБ, transliteration of the Soviet National Security Council), this is perhaps the largest and most mysterious national security organization on the earth. Many people have a very vague impression of it, and some even compare it with the US CIA (zhongyāng Intelligence Agency), FBI (Federal Investigation Agency), and even the British MIIS and Israel's Mossad.
Such statements are not enough to accurately describe the KGB; in fact, in terms of strict organization, large scale, or wide range of responsible areas, the KGB is probably equal to the sum of these well-known institutions.
The predecessor of the KGB originated from the "Advisory Committee on the Purge of Anti-Revolution and Slack Work" (All Russia Anti-Revolution Committee, transliterated as "Chezaka") established in Petrograd (now Leningrad) in December 1917; after several changes in history, it gradually evolved into a huge organization like today. In those long and chaotic eras, like any country's powerful organs, the KGB also made countless mistakes of all sizes; but in the main responsibilities of defending Soviet sovereignty and eliminating enemies and traitors, such mistakes were relatively fewer.
It is probably difficult for those who lack understanding of the history of the Soviet Union to understand why this superpower had a mysterious and seemingly omnipotent ad hoc organization: the Red Russia, born around powerful enemies, and the smoke of gunfire, and the later Alliance of Soviet Socialist Republics, were destined to be associated with such a mysterious and powerful organization in the decades of development history of blood and fire. It can be said that the existence of the KGB is the strong guarantee for the survival and development of the Soviet Union, which has been proven by countless historical facts.
But...what is the KGB?
In countless film and television works and street tabloids that are flooding the West, the KGB is often portrayed as a brutal, dangerous, yet bloodthirsty spy organization; they are secretly active, committing crimes everywhere for the purpose of launching a bloody revolution, and do not hesitate to take risks and trample on all worldly principles...
But unfortunately, this description is not helpful to knowing the appearance of this existence except that it reflects the blind fear of a considerable number of people.
Organizations like the KGB have complex internal structures, and the management fields range from traditional state secrets to the collation of historical archives. If you want to spread it out, it is probably enough to open a specialty to cultivate research talents, and the degree can be set up to the postdoctoral level, which is not a nonsense.
But in short, the purpose of the existence of a national security agency like the KGB is essentially to maintain the normal operation of the huge Soviet machine; for this reason, it must always fight against various enemies, including external destructive forces and internal problems.
Just like the human immune system, as long as life still exists, this system is impossible and is not allowed to stop working.
As a powerful institution that exists for such a purpose, of course it cannot be a warm and civilized place; many horrifying rumors about the KGB have always been circulated, giving this institution a strong layer of mystery.
However, at least in the Soviet Union, if you are an ordinary citizen who abides by the law, you may not have noticed the existence of the KGB in your entire life; but if you are a spy or spy operating in the Soviet Union, you will soon witness that he will appear every day in your life, investigate every place you appear, and in the end, you may also personally send you through the last journey of your life.
Does it sound scary? Actually, it is not.
Whether a thing is really terrible often depends on the observer's position; things are so simple, what do you think?
In any case, when he stepped on the wide square of Lubiyanka Street and approached the huge building with dark gray and brown upper floors, Long Yun's thoughts were like this, so he was not nervous at all.
Speaking of which, if it were not carried by a car but asked him to find it himself, these giant buildings located near Rubyanka Square in Moscow would be really not very conspicuous from a distance.
Unlike the gloomy and terrifying mysterious base of high-walled power grids in ordinary film and television works, this ultimate barrier to Soviet national security that scares the West but helpless, the headquarters office is so easy to approach.
However, easy access does not mean easy to penetrate or even damage.
The vast Soviet Moscow region was originally one of two locations where the Soviet Strategic Rocket Force deployed a ballistic missile defense system; under the cover of surface inspection, several missile launch bases located in the suburbs of the city have already deployed the latest interceptor missiles, and their interception capabilities against long-range and even intercontinental missile warheads are already considerable.
As the heart of the huge empire, this place can be regarded as one of the safest places on the entire country, and even the entire earth.
Under the guidance of the agent, Long Yun walked into the spacious office building and felt keenly that there were quite a few people working in this huge building: a large number of streams of consciousness were surging around the mind. It would be very convenient to spy on information, but Long Yun was not interested in it and there was no such demand at present.
After following the arrangement, what he wanted to know most in his heart was about the mysterious silver-gray suitcase; no matter what was inside, he intuitively believed that it should be related to his recent wonderful situation.
However, to his surprise, he took the elevator through the corridor and came to an office on an unknown floor. The first thing he saw was a young lady.
And he has clearly seen this lady before and knows it.
