Gao Jiu guessed right, the people who came outside were indeed from the KGB.

It turned out that after Nina returned home, she handed over the drawing of the T34 tank that Gao Jiu gave him to her to her father.

After reading it, Mikhail was surprised and happy. He was happy that the design concept of this drawing was basically the same as his own design concept, and many technical key points pointed out the direction of research and development.

What surprised him was that this design drawing actually came from the extremely backward China, which was too unusual. As a top designer, someone has surpassed him in technology, or it can be said that it surpassed the top level of Soviet weapon design.

This person actually comes from a poor and backward China. This is incredible. This person is a major threat to the Soviet military industry.

At this time, the Soviet Union had a very harsh internal struggle, and the purge was still continuing. Due to political reasons, it was possible to lose its head at any time. Mikhail did not dare to take this risk, so he immediately reported to the military representative of the KGB arsenal.

The military representative immediately reported to his superiors, and the KGB immediately sent someone to find their residence according to the address provided by Gao Jiu and monitored them. They still couldn't figure out Gao Jiu's details, and they didn't dare to do it rashly. They discussed Mikhail and Gao Jiu's talks first, and then talked about it.

Gao Jiu asked Ning Wen to call everyone over and said to them: "From today on everyone, everyone will stay at home and no one is allowed to go out. Even if someone comes to search, don't resist. Please rest assured that I have arranged the follow-up matters and there will be no danger."

The next morning, Nina and Ivan came over. Mikhail did not tell them his true purpose, but just asked them to invite Gao Jiu to the arsenal as a guest.

Nina and Ivan didn't know the conspiracy and danger hidden behind this matter. They were very excited to invite Gao Jiu and made an agreement with Gao Jiu that after discussing this matter, they would continue to discuss music with him.

Gao Jiu also pretended not to know anything and expressed his gratitude to the two honest and sincere young men. Then he followed them to the arsenal outside Moscow.

Ivan drove the car and said excitedly to Gao Jiu who was sitting beside him: "Mr. Gao, those two songs have caused a sensation in our Conservatory of Music. The professors of our Conservatory of Music also hope to see you. After you have finished your work, I hope to take the time to go to the Conservatory of Music."

Gao Jiu said: "I won't go to the Conservatory of Music. I'm in love with you two, and I just want to discuss with you two."

Nina and Ivan were very happy when they heard Gao Jiu say this, saying that they would call them after Gao Jiu is finished, and then they would come to visit Gao Jiu again.

Gao Jiu was chatting with Ivan and Nina while paying attention to the surrounding environment. Through the car's reversing mirror, he had already seen a black sedan following them. Needless to ask, they must be KGB people.

Gao Jiu pretended not to notice them and continued to talk to Nina and Ivan about music.

Not long after, Ivan drove his car into a single courtyard of the arsenal. There was a small white building inside. The environment was very elegant, with green trees around it, the plants were carefully pruned, and there was also a pond with double hills standing at the door. This small building is the scientific research institution of the arsenal and is a key confidentiality unit.

Nina and Ivan led Gao Jiu to the second floor. There were two security guards at the stairs on the second floor. One of them stepped forward and said to Gao Jiu: "Sorry, sir, according to our security regulations here, please undergo an inspection."

Gao Jiushi was inspected in an assigned manner. The security guard did not find any problems and let them in.

They entered a room at the top of the corridor. After entering the door, Gao Jiu saw a middle-aged man with a long face sitting inside. He was wearing a pair of glasses and his eyes projected from behind the thick lenses, as if he wanted to see Gao Jiu carefully.

This person is the famous weapon designer Mikhail.

When Nina met her father, she said affectionately: "Father, this is Mr. Xiao from China. He is a music genius. The song I sang for you yesterday was created by this gentleman."

Not long after, Nina and Ivan said goodbye and left. Before leaving, they asked Gao Jiu to call them after the talk. Gao Jiu agreed to their request with a smile.

Mikhail asked Gao Jiu to sit down, but did not immediately talk to Gao Jiu about the tank drawings. He said: "Please wait a moment, and there is another designer from our arsenal to discuss with you."

Gao Jiu knew who he was waiting for, and he must be from the political security department, or simply from the KGB.

Sure enough, a man in his thirties came in a while. His dress was the same as Mikhail, but his eyes were full of vigilance.

After Mikhail introduced Gao Jiu and the people he came, he spread out the weapon design drawings that Gao Jiu brought on the table and discussed with Gao Jiu.

Gao Jiu's drawing is basically complete, but some blanks are left at some key points, especially some important data are not marked on it.

Mikhail is a typical scientific and technological worker. He just asked Gao Jiu about technical questions. He pointed to some key points and asked Gao Jiu. Gao Jiu also said one or two related data and design ideas accordingly, which was recognized by Mikhail.

The man in his thirties didn't ask a single question about technology, and obviously he wasn't very good at it. After talking about technical issues, the man began to investigate Gao Jiu. He was very enthusiastic about Gao Jiu and was rumored, wanting to find out Gao Jiu's background.

Gao Jiu pretended not to know his identity. He said sincerely: "This tank drawing was not designed by me alone. Our country is very poor and backward. There are many people like me. I hope our country can become as powerful as your great Soviet Union. Therefore, a group of like-minded people formed a weapon research team, and we conducted a lot of weapons research together. This tank was designed and studied based on the T32 tanks currently equipped by your country. Not only that, we also conducted research and design based on the tanks currently equipped by Germany and the United States.

Among these designs, I was not the main designer, because I was proficient in Russian, so I sent me to your country to study."

After hearing Gao Jiu say this, Mikhail's expression revealed his surprise and excitement. It was obvious that he was interested in the relevant weapon design mentioned by Gao Jiu.

The middle-aged man frowned. He was obviously not considering technical issues, but what impact this matter would have on the Soviet military production.

The middle-aged man asked, "I am very fortunate, you came here with this drawing, probably not just to discuss it technically, right? What other purposes do you have? Please explain it directly."

Gao Jiu did not answer his words directly and said, "I mainly come to study. I have another tank drawing in my hand, so I would like to ask you for some advice."

As he said that, he opened his briefcase and took out another drawing. This drawing is just a rendering of the appearance of a tank, which lists some technical parameters below. This tank is the Tiger tank that Germany will soon be equipped with in the future.

After Mikhail looked at the appearance of the tank and looked at the relevant data, his face suddenly showed an anxious expression. He had already seen that the performance of this tank was significantly better than the t32 tank they are currently equipping with. It can be said that it is the nemesis of the t32 tank.

He asked, "How well is this tank designed?"

Gao Jiu smiled but refused to answer, and then offered his farewell.

The middle-aged man looked at Mikhail, obviously asking for his opinion to see if there was any need to directly detain Gao Jiu.

Mikhail shook his head slightly, and the man said, "Okay. Let's study these drawings first and contact you later."

Gao Jiu stood up and was about to walk out. The middle-aged man said, "Mr. Xiao, Moscow city is not safe now. Please try not to go out to avoid unnecessary trouble."

He was warning Gao Jiu to let Gao Jiu and others be monitored by the KGB in their residence.

Gao Jiu pretended not to know what he meant, and he said, "Thank you for your reminder, I've said goodbye."

After Gao Jiu left, the KGB personnel had arranged a vehicle to take Gao Jiu back to their residence.

After Gao Jiu left, the arsenal immediately convened an emergency meeting.

In the conference room of the white building, two leaders of the Soviet Military Industry Department and two senior KGB agents listened to Mikhail's report.

Mikhail said with great concern: "Dear leaders, this young man from China provides tank drawings designed according to the t34 tank. The design concept is basically the same as ours, but the progress has far exceeded ours and can provide us with great technical help.

As for the other tank, it should be designed based on the German A-type tank. IMHO, if this new A-type tank is made, the t34 tank we are now designing is obviously in a backward position.”

What Mikhail said was a serious situation, which represented the backwardness of the Soviet military manufacturing and was a result that the Soviets were very unacceptable.

The leading senior KGB agent said: "These weapons must not fall into the hands of foreigners, and these Chinese must not let them leave the Soviet Union."

The KGB agent in his thirties said with some concern: "Comrade Director, you have made a lot of sense. However, when I was talking to the Chinese just now, he said that he was not the main designer of these weapons, and there was a weapon development team in China. We knew nothing about the situation of these people. If we forcibly detain these Chinese people, we would not be able to predict what would happen later.

If they are angry, if they tell the relevant weapon design plans to a hostile country with the great Soviet Union, the consequences will probably be very serious."

Mikhail did not agree with the opinion of the KGB director, saying: "We are not clear about the key technical points and corresponding key data in these two drawings. After these drawings are taken, they are not of much significance to us."

The director of the KGB was obviously very helpless, and he said with some anger: "These damn Chinese people! They came here to show these drawings, and they absolutely had no good intentions."

The KGB agent in his thirties said: "Director Gao Jian, you have a very accurate judgment. I asked the Chinese at that time, what was the purpose of his doing this? The Chinese did not give a positive answer, but it was obvious that he had a clear purpose. There should be something to negotiate with us about the conditions."

The director nodded and said, "Okay. You can continue to contact this Chinese as soon as possible and learn about his true purpose. I will report to the headquarters as soon as possible."

Mikhail said with some concern: "Comrade Director, my daughter Nina and Ivan, the student of the Moscow Conservatory of Music, are unaware of these things, please do not implicate them."

The Soviet Union's internal purge was so terrifying that Mikhail was very worried that his daughter would be implicated.

The leaders of the Ministry of Military Industry were obviously more familiar with Mikhail. He said: "Comrade Mikhail is extremely loyal to the great Soviet Union. When he saw these drawings, he reported to us immediately. I believe what he said is true."

The director nodded and said, "I also believe in Comrade Mikhail's loyalty to the great Soviet Union. Don't worry about this matter, continue to keep in touch with the Chinese, and report to me as soon as possible after learning about their situation."

Hearing this, Mikhail felt relieved.

Soon after, the Soviet Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the KGB personnel came to the embassy of the People's Government in the Soviet Union. They wanted to learn about the situation of Gao Jiu and others from here.

Gao Jiu had already greeted the embassy in advance and asked them to tell the Soviet side truthfully about their identity.

Gao Jiu is really famous. People from many countries around the world have heard of him. The Soviet Union is particularly interested in Gao Jiu because the Soviet Union and Japan are currently in a state of hostility. In May next year, the Nomenkan War will break out between the Soviet Union and Japan.

The Soviet military wanted to understand the combat effectiveness of the Japanese army very much. They were very interested in the series of victories achieved by Gao Jiu in the war against Japan, hoping to gain experience in combat against Japan from Gao Jiu.

When the Soviet senior officials learned about this news, they instructed the military to hold talks with Gao Jiu after the Ministry of Military Industry contacted Gao Jiu.

That afternoon, Mikhail personally called Gao Jiu and invited him to continue to come to the Arsenal Research Institute for discussion tomorrow.

Lu Zhaoming and Ma Yulin didn't know what Gao Jiu was busy with. They also wanted to follow Gao Jiu to visit the Soviet military department. They made a request to Gao Jiu, but Gao Jiu disagreed.

The people from the National Government's Embassy in Moscow were not sure what Gao Jiu was doing, so they called Lu Zhaoming and Ma Yulin over to find out from them about Gao Jiu's negotiations with the Soviets.

Gao Jiu originally asked the embassy to arrange for him to meet Mikhail, but was rejected. Unexpectedly, Gao Jiu not only met Mikhail, but also attracted the attention of senior Soviet officials. Such a result did make the embassy feel a little embarrassed.
