After Glev arrived in Brest, he was warmly entertained by the "brother's old comrade-in-arms". He took him to visit the entire city and tried many new things that he had never thought of before.

This former Red Army sergeant named Ignati has now become a senior leader of the railway system, with an administrative level of seven, equivalent to a captain in the Soviet Red Army.

The Soviet railway system was led by the Soviet Transportation Commission and adopted a semi-militarized management system, so railway employees usually wore uniforms and rank marks. The collars of the seventh-level railway cadres were three red hexagonal logos, as well as cross hammers and wrenches representing Soviet railway workers.

Grev was very grateful to Ignaji at first, thinking that he had met a kind-hearted person, but soon the young man realized that things were not as simple as he thought.

Ignati is a senior member of a border smuggling gang. They carry various smuggled items on the transport train through the Soviet-German railway trade. As an internal staff of the railway system, they have unique advantages in this.

Neither the Soviet Union nor the German customs strictly searched these international material trains, because before opening the door, no one knew what was in the carriage, perhaps it was French wine bought by a marshal, or it could be silk sheets ordered by a member's wife. Anyway, many things did not exist on the waybill.

Glev finally understood why this man's position rose so quickly. Every boss of his superiors could get considerable profits from these illegal businesses. At the same time, he also left a deadly handle in the man's hands, and eventually had to accept the other party's threats and manipulations.

Ignati found Glev, not the reason he said on the surface. In fact, Glev later learned that Ignati and Anton were not in the same company in the army. When he retired, Anton had just been promoted to a non-commissioned officer. The intersection between the two was that they had met twice when they participated in the training camp of the battalion.

The reason why Glev was attracted by the other party was mainly because of his identity as a martyr's family, which was easier to gain the trust of the Red Army and the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

Although the Railway Engineering Agency can apply for a pass for vehicles entering and leaving the military zone, it first of all, a reason to convince the army every time. Moreover, these documents are usually one-time and must be applied to the army again next time.

Ignatiticeglev applied for a one-year entry and exit pass, which requires a very strict political review, and Guri Glev's identity can get additional points here.

Facts also proved Ignati's vision, and Glev easily obtained the military zone entry and exit pass issued by the Brest Fortress Command and the People's Committee of the Internal Affairs.

This also means that the smuggling group led by Ignati has since had a deliveryman who can cross the border military area anytime and anywhere.

Glev has never been a patriot. He is different from Anton. Glev is the youngest son in the family and has been favored by his parents since he was a child. He was raised by his hard-core royalist grandfather. In that environment, you can imagine what kind of views he would have created.

Finally, he did not hate the Soviets as extreme as Old Glev, but he definitely did not have much favorable feelings for the Soviet government.

The customs of the Ukrainian countryside are already quite indifferent to the law. Glev was young at this time and had no mental pressure to participate in illegal and disorderly affairs.

He only knew that every time he had shipped a ticket of "cargo", he could get a considerable commission from Ignati. Except for leaving a part for his own squander, the rest was sent back to his home in Ukraine, which was enough for his parents' daily life.

Opium is just a new business that has only appeared in the past two months. Before, they smuggled mainly alcohol and luxury goods, and at the same time, they smuggled jewelry, antiques and precious metal products from the Tsarist Russian Empire abroad.

Usually they would transport goods from the mainland of the Soviet Union to Brest, then load freight trains to Germany here, and inland transport ships filled with European smuggled goods would secretly dock on the Soviet side at night, and then the smuggling gangs would use trucks during the day to transport the goods to the railway cargo stand in Brest.

"Sir, will you really let me go after the matter is done?" Grev asked carefully.

"After this incident, do you think you can get out of it? Boy." Sweenbach, who was sitting on the right side of the cab, put his elbow on the window frame, and looked at the young Ukrainian with a playful look on his face.

"You should be glad that you are useful to us, so you have not become a cold corpse lying in the ditches." The SS corporal sitting in the middle of the cab was very straightforwardly intimidated.

After discovering that the other party was a smuggler, the Germans no longer continued to hide their identity. They needed this person to serve themselves, and being open and honest can make the problem easier.

Glev could completely choose to refuse to serve the Germans, and of course the Germans would not leave him as a living person. After all, driving a truck is not a special skill.

Some necessary insurance work before was still needed, such as signing a document voluntarily serving the German government, and taking a few photos of shaking hands and hugging with German special forces. Experience has proved that these things are very useful for rookies like Grev.

"Don't worry, Germany will not treat anyone who works for us." Sweenbach took out a cloth bag from his arms and poured out more than a dozen gold coins and a large roll of ruble banknotes from it.

At this time, the currency in circulation in the Soviet Union was Chervonets, which was originally a ruble banknote that could be exchanged for gold, which is what the outside world calls gold rubles.

The corresponding Soviet government also minted a batch of gold coins with a purity of 90% that can be used to exchange these paper rubles to stabilize the currency value of the paper money.

Soviet gold coins were mainly used for foreign trade and payment of purchases. Because paper rubles had not yet established credit internationally, and the Soviet Union had severely lacked foreign exchange, it could only choose to trade with gold, an internationally recognized hard currency.

At this time, ruble gold coins had stopped circulating in the Soviet Union, but they were still preserved by the people. After all, the Slavs always liked to store gold.

"Do you choose gold coins or banknotes?" Sweenbach asked with a smile.

"Bank notes." Glev felt that the gold coins were too conspicuous.

"What a choice for young people." The SS sergeant pulled out ten brand new ten rubles denominations from a roll of rubles and handed them to the deputy squad leader who was sitting beside him.

"I'll give you a hundred rubles first, and I'll give you a hundred after the matter is finished." Crent stuffed the banknotes into the driver's pocket.

"Don't worry, I'm very familiar with this road and will definitely send you to the destination." Grev finally breathed a sigh of relief at this time. It seemed that the Germans were indeed not ready to take their own lives.

"We have a few people on the other side now?" Colonel Dogen sat on the main seat of the conference table, with senior SS officers sitting on both sides.

"General, according to the original plan, three reconnaissance teams are going to the other side to perform their missions today. The headquarters had previously ordered the suspension of all operations, but when the order was issued, a small team had crossed the Bouge River." A SS lieutenant colonel stood up and reported.

"Can the headquarters contact this squad?" Daogen frowned.

"Report to the general, no." The lieutenant colonel replied very simply.

"Why can't?" Daogen couldn't help but raise the door.

"Because..." Lieutenant Colonel turned his gaze to Kirsten, who was sitting next to Daogen.

"Because this is the regulation of the General Security Bureau, once these troops cross the river, they will immediately enter a state of radio silence to prevent being positioned by the other party, General Daogen." Colonel Kirsten took over the conversation.

"The Soviets had this ability? Can they determine the location of the radio station by relying on radio signals?" This was the first time Daogen heard about this.

"It's not surprising at all. General, this technique is what we have given to them." Kirsten replied, rubbing his eyebrows.

"Okay, now we will continue to discuss the issue just now. It's afternoon... three o'clock, and the sun will set in two hours. There is not much time left for the front-line troops to prepare." After Daogen said that, he stood up and stretched out his palm to the map spread on the table.

"The headquarters plans to launch a raid on these targets marked on the map before dark. I know you have many questions in your heart, but I won't tell you the answer. Anyone is dissatisfied with this? Very well, it seems that everyone here is smart." Major General Daogen showed a gratified sneer.
