Chapter 23 Seventy Years Ago 1
Section 1
In 1939, in the northeastern city of Youzhou, Huaxia.
Li Feng had been lying on the rooftop of a two-story building for over three hours, and that damned target still hadn't appeared. If he didn't take out the target today, the Huaxia Labor Party's Youzhou branch would suffer heavy losses. He stared intently into the distance, not even daring to blink, afraid of missing the opportunity to eliminate the traitor. The autumn wind was bleak, leaves were falling, and the sun had already begun to set in the west. Li Feng couldn't afford to miss this assassination attempt - it was his only chance. His entire body was on high alert, waiting for the target to appear, and he could even hear the ticking of his watch. Anxiety and unease tormented him; if today's action failed, over a hundred comrades would be sacrificed. As the Japanese soldiers stood at attention and saluted, the target's motorcade appeared, Li Feng extinguished his cigarette and fixed his gaze on the area where the target was about to appear. The traitor, laughing and chatting, got out of the car, never imagining that punishment for his betrayal would come so quickly...
Bullets accompanied by raging flames burst out, tearing through the sky, flying towards the enemy's head, from the forehead drilling into the back of the brain and flying out, red blood and white brain pulp turned into a magnificent flower. This flower saved the lives of revolutionary warriors, Li Fengnian dedicated this flower to countless fallen revolutionaries who had given their lives for the cause.
This time's elimination of traitors action was the last task for Labour Party underground member Li Fengnian in Northeast China. He quietly left, hid his sniper rifle and rushed to Autumn Lin Coffee Shop to meet with a Labour Party special agent from Russia. After meeting, he would lead 10 Labour Party underground members from Youzhou, including himself, to the Sixth Bureau of the Russian Labour Party for advanced training in special diving techniques. Unbeknownst to him, two cups of coffee had already been consumed and the scheduled meeting time had passed, but there was no sign of the contact person. The Japanese Northeast Kwantung Army had been operating in Northeast China for many years, with Japanese ronin, Japanese devils, and traitorous agents everywhere, arresting people at will. In the perilous underground work, not a single moment of carelessness could be tolerated. Li Fengnian took a sip of coffee, looked at his watch and thought to himself: I'll wait another 10 minutes, if the contact person still doesn't show up, I'll withdraw.
At this moment, a team of police suddenly rushed in, looking around as if they were searching for someone. Li Fengnian was startled and secretly put his hand into his pocket, gripping the pistol tightly. If I'm exposed, it must be that the Russian spy has made a mistake. I won't make any noise for now, and if all else fails, I'll fight them to the death. Unfortunately, there aren't any damned Japanese devils here to kill and vent my anger.
A person behind Li Fengnian suddenly stood up and ran towards the window, jumping out of it in a few swift steps. The traitorous police rushed to the window and fired their guns wildly at the outside, completely disregarding whether passersby might get hit by bullets. In their eyes, anyone who got shot was just a rebel, and it was all merit.
Li Fengnian crouched under the table like the other customers, holding his head in his hands. At this moment, a foreign woman entered the café, ordered a cup of coffee, and sat down at the window seat as if nothing had happened. She wore a low-cut dress, with more than half her breasts exposed outside. The men's gazes were all drawn to her, forgetting the brief chaos of gunfire.
Li Fengnian was also staring, but he wasn't a lecherous person. It was because the woman sat in the position where his contact should be sitting, and now they only needed to exchange secret signals. Li Fengnian stood up, adjusted himself, and walked over to strike up a conversation with the foreign woman.
"Excuse me, miss. May I sit here?"
"No, I have an appointment." The foreign woman spoke Mandarin very well, her hand resting on the crucifix pendant around her neck.
"Do you still remember those nights in the outskirts of Moscow?" Li Fengnian sat on the chair, stretching out his hand to gently swing a crucifix pendant.
The foreign woman smiled, and both of them understood each other's identity. They continued to drink coffee and chat for a while. After finishing the coffee, Li Fengnian and the foreign woman left together to settle the bill at the café, with men's envious glances and women's disdainful gazes behind him.
Section 2
At this time, Fusang and Russia had already signed a non-aggression treaty. Although both countries were secretly on guard against each other, building fortifications and conducting espionage activities, the window paper had not been pierced yet, so Li Fengnian's journey to Russia was still relatively safe and smooth. On the westbound train, Li Fengnian chatted with Katerina Sarapova, a special agent of the Russian Sixth Bureau. She revealed to Li Fengnian that this time, 100 students from the Huaxia Labor Party had come to Russia to study special diving techniques. The International Labor Party would select the top 10 most outstanding individuals to join the Far East Intelligence Network of the International Labor Party. Katerina hoped Li Fengnian could join her in working together. However, Li Fengnian instead wished to stay in his home country to fight against Fusang's invasion. He did not want to leave his beloved party organization or his dear revolutionary comrades.
The intelligence system of the Luocha country has been running for many years, with a mature intelligence network covering the entire world. The Sixth Bureau is one of the strongest espionage organizations in the world, directly under the command of the leader of the Luocha country, Dalin. Although it's called the Sixth Bureau, it doesn't have its own office building or office space. The Sixth Bureau is just a group of highly skilled agents who are everywhere, both domestically and internationally, yet remain elusive. People of different skin colors, nationalities, languages, and cultures come together for their faith. Li Fengnian still doesn't know that he will become one of the organization's top agents in the near future. With an uneasy heart, he arrived at a training base of the Sixth Bureau. These underground operatives didn't undergo any systematic training; they learned through bloodshed and loss of life. They honed their skills in battle and tempered their resolve in death. Li Fengnian was just a young apprentice tailor when he joined the party organization, but now he has become a true warrior who doesn't fear bloodshed or sacrifice, willing to give up everything for his faith. He feels uneasy because he thinks he lacks culture and is afraid of embarrassing the organization and the country. He always hoped to be a pure soldier, charging into battle and killing enemies. The cautious and stealthy work of an underground operative makes him uncomfortable; he just wants to fight against the enemy quickly and fiercely.
Section 3
On the shooting range, people were boiling over. Li Fengnian and the shooting instructor called out to each other, determined to skip the shooting training. He wanted to make a bet with the instructor that if his marksmanship could surpass the instructor's, he would only learn about firearms knowledge and not participate in shooting training. The two of them competed with handguns and rifles, both stationary targets and moving targets, and neither was able to gain the upper hand. Li Fengnian thought of a way to decide the winner: using a string to hang a coin on a tree, shaking the coin back and forth, first shooting to break the string, then using the bullet to knock the coin onto the tree.
The outcome was predictable, and Li Fengnian emerged victorious. However, this victory came at the cost of even more stringent training requirements. Every instructor was extremely strict with him; while others learned four languages, he had to learn eight; whereas others only needed to learn gentlemanly etiquette and social interactions, he had to be able to distinguish between different types of wine and their vintage years...
For the honor of the organization, for an early return to the country to fight, Li Fengnian studied hard day and night, not letting go of every kind of knowledge and ability to grasp. The instructor's strict demands were a spur in his eyes, he is now a trump card, one of the best special agents trained since the formal establishment of the Sixth Bureau, it is already an iron fact that he will be left in the Labor Party International Special Operations Organization.
Rakshasa National Secret Science Department, Spy Science Department is experimenting with a gene mutation technology to change human appearance, gender, and body tissue structure. Expert Ivanov has done thousands of experiments on white mice and pigs, and after repeated transplantation of the dual-sex animal and plant gene 143 and experimental body disease gene 213, a new gene 419 was formed, which has this ability, but it has never been experimented on humans. After the experiment succeeded, Ivanov secretly conducted a physical examination in the name of Rakshasa National military officers and special agents to find individuals with the 213 gene. Only 10 people were found to have this latent gene, including one Huaxia National special agent. The report was sent to Labor Party leader Dalin, stating that human experimentation must be selected from strong and steadfast revolutionary warriors. This batch of military officers and special agents is about to graduate, and if the experiment is not conducted now, it will have to wait for another year after the next batch of training. Dalin thought twice and finally signed off, adding a note that the experiment on Huaxia National Labor Party special agents must be kept confidential, and in case of any problems, the Rakshasa National secret must not be revealed.
