Bloody Heart

On July 1/9/5/1, Alfred, Wang Yao and Ren Yongjin held negotiations in Kai/Cheng. The differences between Wang Yao and Alfred were too serious, which led to a stalemate in the negotiations.

Two years later, the three parties held negotiations again in Ban/Mun/Dian, and this time they finally signed the "Korean/North Korea/Armistice/War/Agreement". Alfred angrily accused Wang Yao, 1/9/5/ 0 years not only ruined his Valentine's Day, but also ruined his Christmas [1].Im Yong-jin failed to bring Yong-soo home, and the two separated with the 38th parallel as before the war.Ren Yongjin was obviously very dissatisfied with this result, but he also knew that he was really powerless to fight anymore, so he could only let it go.From then on, he had to slowly learn to accept that Yong-su followed Alfred, he followed Paul and Ivan, and the two parted ways farther and farther away.

■

At the end of the war, Wang Yao returned to China.After returning home, he became very busy, but even so, he still took time out of his busy schedule to go to the airport.

When the young man got off the special plane with a group of experts, Wang Yao saw him immediately.Soviet dress was not eye-catching at all, there was no black coat and red scarf, let alone a grand dress, but Wang Yao found a suitable one.He saw Soviet coming down the gangway. When he looked up, the eyes of the two met in the air. The owner of the strange-colored pupil was stunned for a second, and then an impeccable smile appeared on his face.Wang Yao also smiled slightly.

Pavel descended to the ground and came up to him, and they shook hands.Paul said: "Hello, Comrade Wang Yao." Wang Yao said: "Hello, Soviet." Then the two let go of their hands and went to talk to others.

Sitting in the car on the way back, Wang Yao remembered the scene when he went to Moscow a few years ago.The train pulled in with military music and stopped by the platform.The boots of the guard of honor are shiny, and the bayonets are shining coldly.He got out of the car, Paul embraced him, smiling eyes bent like the moon.In the photo, they look at each other and smile, their expressions are very intimate.

Alas, that young man, that once enthusiastic young man, Wang Yao shook his head, expelling the picture of Paul leaning on the door frame inviting him to dinner together, seeing him again, he didn't know what to say.Yeah, anyway, that's a thing of the past.

There was no conversation or correspondence between them for the next week.Wang Yao found out from other sources that Paul was with several chemists. At first he wanted to see each other, but then he thought: what am I going to do?He made it clear a long time ago that he doesn't trust me.Yes, he was impressed by Paul's indifferent reply to his telegram in the early stage of the war, but once he declared war on Alfred, he sent reinforcements, obviously well prepared.Only then did Wang Yao understand that all the previous events were Paul testing his sincerity in forming an alliance.The reason is easy to understand, but after Wang Yao figured it out, he still felt chilled.

Today, Paul once again made an appearance of selfless assistance, sending many experts, but he himself followed.But so what?Wang Yao has already seen through his essence.Any intimacy and enthusiasm, I'm afraid it's just a disguise.

But a week later, Wang Yao still had to meet him.He was assigned to the Institute of Chemistry to "express concern and condolences" to the experts who came to provide assistance, and asked them "whether they have any inconvenience or requirements in work and life."

It takes a long time to travel from Zhong/Nan/Hai to the Institute of Chemistry.As soon as he arrived, Wang Yao saw a guy with light-colored short hair waiting for him at the station, with his hands in his pockets, calmly accepting the curious eyes of the passing crowd.

"Let me take you in, they are already waiting for you in the reception room." When the car drove away behind Wang Yao, the person in front of him said.

As Wang Yao followed him to the research institute, he said politely, "Why is it so troublesome? I even sent you to pick me up, making it seem like I'm the guest."

"No trouble." Paul, who was walking in front, shook his index finger, "Stop to observe the people's conditions along the way, and see what kind of place Xiaoyao's family lives."

Here we go again, that title again. "Actually, it's still broken, right? So I need your help." Wang Yao said.

"So we sent someone here..."

This kind of contentless chatter soon became unsustainable, and the two walked silently along the corridor of the research institute side by side.The Institute is very simple, with square buildings painted in white, and there is an academic tranquility in the shade of green trees beside the road.Scattered people walked by under the tree, and some of them could be identified as researchers at a glance, with a bookish look, and one of the short-haired girls greeted Wang Yao with a smile.

In such an overall quiet environment, the silence with Paul beside him seemed less awkward.Wang Yao let him lead him without any discomfort, enjoying the rare peace of mind and body.However, some people are so incomprehensible.

"Xiaoyao," Paul stood still less than five meters away from the door of the reception room, and asked very solemnly, "Why are you ignoring me?"

"... Huh?" Wang Yao looked at him in surprise, he wanted to make sure that the other party was joking.However, Paul's expression is both serious and down-to-earth, it doesn't look fake. "What's wrong with me?"

Paul shrugged. "As you can see, I've been here for so many days, and you only said two words to me."

"Because I'm not here usually." Wang Yao was confident about this.

But Paul didn't buy it: "You can come, or I can come, as long as you want to see me. But obviously, you don't want to. What's the matter? Did I make you angry?"

Now Wang Yao was caught off guard.He simply couldn't figure out why this conversation was happening.Isn't it something that both of them know well?But why did Paul act like he didn't know what happened.Do you have to make it clear... He was in a state of confusion for a moment. "I'll talk about this later," he reached out to push Paul away, and stepped forward to turn the doorknob of the meeting room. "I'll talk to you slowly after I finish my business."

Paul moved away cooperatively, and when Wang Yao closed the door, he saw him leaning against the wall outside the reception room with his hands in his pockets.

This person is real, Wang Yao shook his head, put him aside, and started to solve the "business" in front of him.

It has been two hours since I finished talking with those experts. When Wang Yao was about to leave, the experts got up enthusiastically to send him out.While refusing to let them go back to work without trouble, Wang Yao secretly thought in his heart that it was a mistake to forget to bring water, he was dying of thirst.

As a result, he came out of the room, just in time to see Pavel unscrew the lid of the kettle to drink water.When Paul saw him and the experts behind him, he couldn't help laughing and said, "Oh, it seems that the conversation went well. Comrade Wang Yao, you have settled my family, and now it's time to deal with the more difficult me."

"Uh-huh."

Paul smiled and rolled his eyes again. "Then everyone, let's go back separately first?"

When the experts left, Paul thoughtfully handed over the small military kettle in his hand, and Wang Yao was not polite, and drank it without saying a word.After he drank half of the remaining water in the jug with the momentum of boasting his father drinking rivers and weihe, he took a breath, returned the jug to Paul, and said, "Okay, the rest of the time is yours. You What do you want to talk about?"

"...Didn't you reply to those telegrams?" Wang Yao seemed skeptical.

"No," Paul said sincerely, "I'm sorry that I can't tell you what's going on, but I can assure you that those replies that shirk responsibility are not from me."

"Well, no matter who replied, you have been watching at first." Wang Yao still felt a little unhappy when he mentioned this point, "Are you testing me?"

Paul hesitated. "In this matter... unfortunately, yes."

Wang Yao sneered. "I declared war on Alfred alone, so you felt that I could be trusted, so you passed a resolution to give me technical support after the war and sent experts over. Is that so?"

Paul replied: "This is my fulfillment of the obligations in the treaty, and it has nothing to do with 'testing' or 'not testing'. I have always trusted you very much, otherwise I would not come."

After a moment of silence, Paul thought he had successfully clarified, and could not help secretly heaving a sigh of relief.But what he didn't expect was that when he breathed a sigh of relief, Wang Yao whispered: "Trust me? Maybe you came here just to monitor me."

Paul's relaxed heart raised again, and Wang Yao's alienated tone made him a little flustered. "I'm not……"

However, Wang Yao just shook his head, as if he didn't want to listen to his next explanation. "It's okay, I was joking." He really smiled as he spoke.However, there was still a void in Paul's heart, and his smile could not fill it.

Wang Yao asked again: "When will you go back? Even though Mo/S/Ko has Ivan here, you can't always hang out."

"Go back..." Paul looked at the leaves of a tree not far away, his expression became a little blank, "...I really didn't think about it. In fact, I even thought, just don't go back. "

"Ah?" Wang Yao looked at him with a flash of sarcasm, wondering what to do with it, "This is not a good idea."

Paul still stared at the tree, and raised his eyebrows when he heard the words: "Why not? It's very nice here, quiet, tidy, and you can see green trees as soon as you go out, and you can find Xiaoyao in a few minutes' drive. "He glanced at Wang Yao, but Wang Yao didn't smile, so he continued, his voice gradually became erratic: "The people here are very sincere and simple, and they only think about one thing. That is how to make the motherland prosperous and strong quickly, and work hard day after day for this. This is very good, it would be better if there are fewer time-consuming meetings. This kind of ideal, everyone for the same An ideal and hard-working day..." He shook his head and didn't say any more, as if he was caught in a certain emotion and couldn't extricate himself.

Naturally, Wang Yao didn't take the initiative to find something to say, and the two walked forward silently with their heads down.It seemed that after walking for a long time, Wang Yao, who was staring down at the road, heard a sentence in his ear, which seemed unreal.He heard Paul say:

"My country is ideal, I almost forgot what ideal is."

■

In fact, after that day, Paul could not continue to stay at Wang Yao's house for long.That morning, the sky was still not very bright, and the early spring morning was still cold and windy. Wang Yao was planning to start his daily work as usual, but he was suddenly told that the Soviet was visiting.When Paul saw him, he didn't greet him with a smile like every time before. He seemed to be in a hurry. He handed Wang Yao a piece of paper, then waved his hand and said that something happened at home. I'm leaving first. Thank you for taking care of me these days. Goodbye Xiaoyao.Wang Yao held the paper and didn't read it carefully at that time, so he waved his hand to say goodbye to him, and then he lowered his head to read the contents of the paper carefully after the car drove away in a hurry.

It was a telegram, which Ivan sent to Paul, and it was received in the early morning of the same day, with only one short line.Not long after Wang Yao watched it that day, he heard the relevant staff tell him that the Soviet Union sent news that Rees/Da/Lin passed away on the night of the 5th.

It is exactly the same content as in Wang Yao's hand.

Mo/S/Ko was late at night when Ivan sent that telegram.He expected that it would be almost morning in Beijing when Paul received it, and he would be able to leave soon, so after sending the telegram, he seized the time to catch up on sleep.When it was almost noon, the plane landed, and Ivan also got out of the busy morning and came to the airport to pick up the plane.

After seeing him, Paul asked the first sentence: "Joseph is dead?"In his eyes, Ivan tried hard to discern what the other person was feeling at the moment, but all he found was that Paul was also looking at him desperately, trying to analyze the truth from him.Ivan sighed silently, and said, "Yes, he died."

Along the way, the two never spoke again.

They soon reached the coffin.

"Lenin's comrade-in-arms and Lenin's genius successor, the brilliant leader and mentor of the Communist Party and the Soviet Union..." The announcer's distressed voice on the radio did not seem fake, and the sobbing in his ear was even more It is true.People who came to mourn/memorial passed by the coffin surrounded by flowers like a stream of water - Ivan had been watching this scene all morning.

The corpse among the lush plants closed his eyes quietly. Paul approached and stared at him for a long time, but he could not associate his face with "rest in peace"; even he felt that his death came too suddenly .His boss had been so shrewd all his life that he didn't even realize that Joseph was 70 years old when he was young.It wasn't until he suddenly suffered a stroke and fell down, lying here, that he suddenly woke up and enlightened.

"I didn't expect that." He looked at Joseph's remains and murmured.

Ivan turned to look at him: "Didn't expect anything?"

Paul looked a bit disappointed: "I am so calm." He stared blankly for a while at the people who came to mourn/mourn, trying hard to feel the pain of empathy through their tears and expressions, and trying hard to arouse the pain in his heart. A bit of a similar emotion, but in the end he gave up.

"No, not at all..." He looked at Ivan with some trepidation, ignoring the increasingly rigid relationship between the two of them recently, "Am I being too indifferent? What's going on..."

Ivan looked at him, and after sending the telegram last night, he imagined Paul's reaction to the news.In the end, he thought that Paul’s mood should be compared to his own feelings after Peter’s death—the great sadness contained in the rationality of the national will is the emotion of the national will as a “human being” at work.After all, he thought, Joseph should be as important to Paul as Peter was to him.

However, Paul's performance at this time was completely beyond his expectations.He comes across as calm and sane from the inside out.He seemed to watch someone die who had nothing to do with him, and the powerful sadness that filled the hearts of the people did not affect him at all.Although it was not the first time Ivan knew about it, he still felt weird.Of course, in front of the Soviets who already had doubts about him, he couldn't show any of this.

"You haven't." He patted Paul on the shoulder reassuringly. "Perhaps as the ideal of the country, you can't feel any emotions of the people, so you won't be affected."

"That's a good thing. Because Joseph's sudden departure left us with a bunch of problems to sort out."

That's true.There is no other reason than that Joseph has no clearly designated heir.At this time, the chairman/presidium of the Central Committee representing the highest power is composed of ten people, and none of them are fuel-efficient.

Ma/Lin/Ke/Fu first succeeded Joseph, but due to Be/Lea's excessive power and political disagreement with him, his first position was not secure.Three months later, Nikita He/Lu/Xiao/fu joined forces with others to knock out Be/Lea, and a series of punishments were shockingly cruel.In September of that year, Nikita was elected as the supreme leader, and the situation returned to stability.

Ivan decided to support Nikita after careful consideration.When Joseph was in power, Nikita was a staunch supporter of his decisions and a capable person. Ivan felt that although Nikita was not as talented as Joseph, because of this, he was just right to be a successor.The most urgent task now is to maintain the stability of the situation. A loyal dog who follows the old way is obviously much better than a reformer who is full of ambition.

But soon he found that he was wrong.

The first task facing the new government is to congratulate Wang Yaojian on the fifth week of the country.Ivan didn't pay much attention to this, because the relationship with Wang Yao was not Paul's most important diplomatic relationship after all, he just thought about what he had done in the past; he didn't expect that the people of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs/Ministry of Foreign Affairs were desperate ran to him to complain.

The dining environment was elegant and quiet, but the comrade of the First Yuan/Dongsi was obviously determined to spoil the atmosphere, and kept chattering in Ivan's ear: "Mr. Russia, we really have no choice but to ask you !"

"what happened?"

The man sighed heavily, shook his head and said, "Don't mention it, the Soviet asked us to redraft the celebration plan. You know what—it's unbelievable!"

Compared with his fellow drama actor, Ivan seemed much calmer: "What did he ask you to write?" He asked casually, shaking the remaining wine in the glass.

The man immediately clasped his fingers with him: "He said that he would help China build the railway, increase loans... and also sell/sell the shares of the joint venture company... oh, and also buy from the brigade/ Withdraw from Shungang..."

Ivan stopped what he was doing and frowned slightly: "Lu/Shun?"

The man showed exaggerated sarcasm: "This is what he especially emphasized!"

This question obviously touched Ivan's back. He put down his wine glass and immediately said that he would ask clearly when he went back.Only then did the comrades from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs leave contentedly.

As soon as the dinner party was over, Ivan hurried back and went directly to Paul. The latter flipped through the newspaper and was not surprised to see Ivan coming, as if he had already prepared for it.He put away the newspaper and motioned him to sit down.

Of course, Ivan didn't sit down. Seeing that he finished packing, he went straight to the topic: "The celebration plan that you personally instructed to revise, do you mind if I take a look?" hand.

Paul pulled out from the desk something that seemed to have been prepared a long time ago, handed it to him, and he took it over and began to browse.The further he looked back, the tighter his brows were furrowed.

"Why are you doing this again?" Ivan closed the draft and said with a grim expression, "Isn't your enthusiasm for Wang Yao too much? You actually offered to return Lu/Shun, really..." He shook his head, no Find the right expression.

"It's not my idea." Paul got up and took a few steps in front of him, gently took the draft from his hand, "it's from my dear boss. I also think it's a bit too much, but well... ...In any case, Wang Yao is a big country, and the key to stabilizing the socialist camp is to win him over, besides, he has also proved his loyalty before, so it is not too much to give some rewards, right?" The corners of his eyes were stained with a hint of provocation .

Ivan didn't want to argue with him: "Okay, let's just say it. However," he changed the topic and looked cold, "That can't be at the expense of the Far/Eastern strategy we painstakingly formulated. You will damage my reputation by doing so." Benefit."

"Oh? Your interests? This is really what you are talking about—" Paul shrugged innocently, "Aren't you my allied republic? Aren't your interests exactly the same as mine? That's good for me How can things hurt you?"

Ivan was choked for a moment, and Paul saw that he was speechless by himself, so he couldn't help showing a happy smile: "It's really rare, you are no longer teaching me how to be a qualified national will. Then things It's settled like this, you are not allowed to point fingers, and please tell the people in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs that you should not be entrusted to be a sounding board. Can you?"

"Yes." Ivan actually nodded.A sense of boredom suddenly arose in Paul's heart. He maintained that hypocritical smile and waved his hands: "Then go back, goodbye."

"Okay," Ivan walked towards the door obediently, and said casually while opening the door, "Actually, Nikita's favor for Wang Yao is not to stabilize the socialist camp, but to take advantage of Wang Yao's growing prestige Stabilize your position. After all, he is far behind Joseph in all aspects." After finishing speaking, the door of the room was closed, and Ivan's figure and voice were suddenly cut off.Clean and neat, without muddy water.

The fake cheerful smile on Paul's face in the room disappeared like a bubble.

"I don't think it's appropriate to do this. Do we have such a great ability to help other countries?"

"Agreed, it can't be done."

"I don't understand why Lu/Shungang should be returned?"

With so many objections, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs/Ministry of Foreign Affairs/Ministry of Foreign Affairs/Ministry of Foreign Affairs/Ministry of Foreign Affairs/Ministry of Foreign Affairs/Ministry of Foreign Affairs/Ministry of Foreign Affairs/Ministry of Foreign Affairs/Ministry of Foreign Affairs/Ministry of Foreign Affairs/Ministry of Foreign Affairs/Ministry of Foreign Affairs/Ministry of Foreign Affairs/Ministry of Foreign Affairs/Ministry of Foreign Affairs/Ministry of Foreign Affairs/Ministry of Foreign Affairs had no choice but to delete all the unacceptable items. downgrade.

These evaluations and new plans soon reached Paul's hands.He was so angry after reading it that Nikita was shocked.

"It's not because the previous plan has not been passed - it has nothing to do with this, I know it is not so easy to pass - I am angry because so many people have the same views as Ivan! They all think that I am hurting their interests... Our interests!" Paul angrily threw the new plan on the table, "I am the alliance, don't I know what I want? Which round will they get their mouths! Everyone keeps defending my interests, but they always obstruct me my decision!"

Although the words were aimed at the current plan, he was not only thinking of this matter at this time, but also when he sent troops to the peninsula and formed an alliance with Wang Yao, Ivan was always against himself, and always said "I am Considering your interests" as a shield.But the proposition he made was unacceptable to Paul.That cold, absolutely rational philosophy—Paul could not get himself used to it no matter what.So he thought, just don't ask for his opinion and make up your own mind.Unexpectedly, this time he excluded Ivan, but there were still so many people against him, as if he couldn't be a competent country.

Is it true that a country must be like Ivan? Is it true that countries only use and have no feelings for each other? Is it true that the close allies are limited to talking beautiful words when signing treaties, but in fact they still need to use each other?he thought in frustration.

When he was struggling, Nikita on the side spoke: "Soviet, let me ask you, what is your ultimate goal?"

"World revolution," Paul blurted out, "let the flag of communism spread all over the world."

"So how are you going to do it?"

"...I want to gradually gain control of this world and expand my socialist camp. Ultimately, I will achieve the goal of world revolution."

Nikita smiled: "That's it. Then, what's wrong with stabilizing and consolidating the unity within the socialist camp? Since it is for the highest ideal, it is advisable to sacrifice some short-term interests."

The chunky Nikita lacked the majesty of Joseph, and when he smiled, he looked like a shrewd and cunning businessman.Paul looked at him, and suddenly remembered the sentence that Ivan left before closing the door that day, and immediately drove it away in his mind like a fly.

Yes, that’s right, that’s right, Paul repeated in his mind like self-hypnosis.

■

1/9/5/4年9月29日，尼基塔率团抵达北/京，对王耀建/国五周/年表示祝贺并进行国家领导人级别的访问。伊万和保尔都在随行的名单中。

On the third day, Wang Yao's family held a grand National Day ceremony.Eastern countries have the custom of celebrating the "Five" and "October". This time the National Day is more grand than in previous years.On the day of the celebration, the huge Tian/an/men Square was stunned. There was no place to stand on it. On the tower, only densely packed heads could be seen. The people in the / line are also dressed in colorful clothes.Many people in the square have never seen such a scene in their life.

In the next few days, the two sides held many talks, and they talked about things that Wang Yao liked to hear, which added a bit of surprise to the National Day.Wang Yaowan did not expect that Paul would be so enthusiastic about himself after returning to China, and he would be so enthusiastic to himself when he came back. Naval base - almost exudes a friendly and friendly atmosphere.This is a 5.2-degree turn compared to the previous indifferent attitude, which made Wang Yao a little confused.

The visit of more than ten days ended soon. Paul believed that he had fully shown his friendship to Wang Yao, and was ready to return to China with satisfaction, and went to say goodbye to Wang Yao politely.

"I know you suffered a lot in the previous war, but this gift I gave you this time should be enough to make up for it. What else do you want?" He asked a little complacently.

Unexpectedly, Wang Yao's answer froze his smile on his face. "I want atoms/bombs." Wang Yao put away the polite words and said calmly and seriously.

"What's the use of you wanting that thing?" This answer was obviously far beyond expectations, and Paul frowned, "Atoms/bombs are very expensive, and besides, I have to protect you." After a pause, he turned to Wang Yao waved his hand, "If you have nothing else to do, I will leave. I have taken good care of you at your house these days, and my comrades are very grateful. Goodbye." Turn around and leave.Wang Yao seemed to have been prepared to be rejected, and after Paul's back disappeared, he turned and went back.

When Paul returned to the delegation, everyone asked him how Wang Yao answered, and his answer seemed to pour cold water on everyone.

And behind the crowd, he saw the face that was exactly like his own. Ivan just looked at him indifferently at the moment, maybe he didn't show any expression; but Paul just felt that there was a subtle irony in the purple eyes, and was attracted by it. Infinitely magnified, like a slap in the face.

He seemed to hear Ivan's cold and sarcastic voice saying: Resign yourself to fate, Soviet.This world only cares about interests, and the so-called ideals have no way out.

The author has something to say:

[1] Valentine's Day and Christmas: On Valentine's Day, Wang Yao and Su Xiong signed a treaty; Christmas is because Doug once said something like "Yong Jin and Wang Yao are scumbags, we can go home before Christmas" words, but you understand the result.

————————————————————————————

This chapter was originally intended to cause Su Xiong and Lucia to have another conflict over the celebration plan, but after thinking about it, it’s better to forget it. Every chapter should be tired of this tone.So Su Xiong probably started to break down from this time... right?My understanding is this ==

Also, the author will go to Shandong on the 12th to 17th, and will not bring a computer, so it will not be updated.If you write, you may be able to write some, but don’t hold out too much hope, because basically all of you are on the go in Shandong >
