Chapter 428 was targeted by the KGB
"In the garden late at night, there is quiet everywhere, only the wind is singing softly. How beautiful the night is, it is fascinating. The night outside Moscow..."
"Nights on the Outskirts of Moscow" was created in the 1950s. It is one of the most influential songs in the world and is deeply loved by people from all over the world. It is normal for Ivan to love this song.
After Ivan hummed the song softly, he couldn't help but sang it loudly from the beginning. This time he sang very smoothly, and the effect was naturally better.
Ivan said: "The lyrics are written so well, and the song is well composed, and there is no need to be modified at all. This song is really perfect."
Gao Jiu said modestly: "Oh! I have never had the confidence to be recognized by a musical genius like you, I am so happy."
Ivan is a music fan. He admired him very much when he saw Gao Jiu being able to write such a song. Because of Gao Jiu's respect for himself, he developed a deep affection for Gao Jiu.
They discussed the song, and Gao Jiu flattered her constantly, which made Ivan feel like a close friend who fell in love with him at first sight.
Gao Jiu pretended not to know that Nina was Ivan's girlfriend. He said, "The Moscow Conservatory has many talents. The reason I was able to find you is because we just listened to a wonderful cello solo concert at the Bolshoi Theater yesterday. The soloist played so wonderfully and looked so beautiful. I heard that she was from your Moscow Conservatory, so I came to the Conservatory. After inquiring, I heard that you are a genius composer of the Conservatory of Music, and then I found you. It is indeed worthy of your reputation."
Ivan is a very creative composer. He is also a young man. He is inevitably a little arrogant. Gao Jiu's flattery made Ivan's eyes shine.
Gao Jiu continued with some contempt, "Miss Nina who held the concert yesterday is simply a fairy. My fiancée and I are a little fascinated by her. I wonder if you know this lady? If it is convenient, please recommend it to us."
Nina is a famous talented woman in the music school and is a lover with Ivan. Ivan is very proud of having a lover like Nina. Gao Jiu is not stingy in praising Nina, so he is naturally praising Ivan for his vision.
Gao Jiu is tall and handsome, heroic, Ouyang Xue is beautiful and dignified, elegant and generous. Although they are of different nationalities, their image and temperament can still be recognized by Ivan. Ivan had the idea of further dating them, and the most important thing was to show off that he had an outstanding lover like Nina.
He immediately said, "It's too easy for you to see Nina. Nina is my girlfriend."
Gao Jiu widened his eyes and said with some exaggeration: "Oh! I really didn't expect that a fairy-like musical talent like Nina was your girlfriend. It's so enviable."
Ivan became more and more happy. He took the initiative to say, "You are from a distant China. I want to invite you at noon today, can I?"
Gao Jiu was very happy and said, "If it is convenient, please bring your beautiful fiancée with you."
Although Nina and Ivan are lovers, they have not yet talked about marriage. Gao Jiu said that Nina was Ivan's fiancée, which made Ivan's heart even more enjoyable. He said confidently: "Don't worry, I will come to invite you two with her."
Afterwards, they made an appointment for the meeting time and place, and then Gao Jiu said goodbye to Ouyang Xue and left.
Ouyang Xue doesn't understand Russian, and she doesn't know what Gao Jiu talks with Ivan, but she still likes the melody of the song Ivan sings very much.
She asked curiously: "Brother Jiu, did you write that song? What did it write?"
Although Gao Jiu often plagiarized a little, he was not as shameless as plagiarizing this famous song. He smiled and said, "This song was not written by me, but I heard it from others by chance. Now I sing this song in Chinese."
Speaking of this, Gao Jiu started singing.
Gao Jiu's voice is thick and low, which is especially suitable for singing such lyrical songs. His sound quality itself is very good. The beautiful artistic conception of this song "Night outside Moscow" immediately infected Ouyang Xue.
After Gao Jiu finished singing, Ouyang Xue's beautiful eyes dripped in tears. She sincerely praised: "Brother Jiu, this song is so beautiful. What is the name of this song?"
Gao Jiu told Ouyang Xue, and Ouyang Xue couldn't help but repeat: ""Night outside Moscow", this is really a beautiful song, it's so nice."
Today, Gao Jiu showed his musical talent in front of Ouyang Xue. Even singing was so good. Ouyang Xue's admiration for Gao Jiu was like a surging river. In her mind, Gao Jiu was omnipotent, and it was many times more than the image of a prince charming that she once outlined in her mind. She looked at Gao Jiu with admiration, wishing she could melt Gao Jiu with her eyes.
Gao Jiu has now become more intimate with Ouyang Xue and his name has become more intimate. He said: "Xiaoxue, Ivan will meet us later. We will always speak Russian. If you neglect you because of this, please don't be surprised."
Faced with Gao Jiu's considerateness, Ouyang Xue felt that Gao Jiu was so gentlemanly. She smiled and said, "Brother Jiu, it's okay. Although I don't understand Russian, I will definitely be able to cooperate with you."
At noon, Gao Jiu and Ouyang Xue arrived at the agreed Gekden Hotel in advance. Not long after, Ivan took Nina to the hotel on time. Ivan was handsome and handsome, with artistic temperament, Nina was beautiful and charming, elegant and generous. They were really a pair of golden boys and jade girls.
Seeing them coming, Gao Jiu greeted them warmly and praised them as a golden boy and a jade girl, a match made by heaven.
Nina and Ivan were obviously very happy.
During the conversation, Gao Jiu had already done his homework in advance and solemnly described his feelings at Nina's solo concert yesterday. The reason why he listened to Nina's performance from beginning to end yesterday was to deepen his understanding of Nina. His evaluation of Nina's cello solo was just right and seemed very sincere.
When Nina saw the song "Night outside Moscow" from Ivan, she admired Gao Jiu very much. Now, she saw that Gao Jiu's evaluation was appropriate, not ordinary general comments or hypocritical compliments. It was obvious that she listened to her solo concert seriously.
Nina has been preparing for this solo concert for a long time and has held this concert. Of course, she hopes to hear others' recognition of her, especially those who truly understand music praise her.
Now with the song "Night outside Moscow", Gao Jiu has established the image of a music master in her mind. Gao Jiu's evaluation certainly made her very happy.
Gao Jiu and Ivan and Nina talked about music. Gao Jiu had detailed information on the creation and development of music from later generations. He talked naturally and looked forward-looking. His conversation materials were detailed and funny, which made Ivan and Nina deeply admire him.
Although Ouyang Xue couldn't understand Russian, she could understand the expressions and eyes between them. She could always cooperate with her expressions at the right time, which also played a harmonious atmosphere.
Ivan, Nina and Gao Jiu became more and more speculative the more they talked, and they felt like they met too late.
At this moment, Gao Jiu offered to say goodbye.
Ivan and Nina were talking about the excitement, and Gao Jiu offered to say goodbye, which made them feel a little regretful. This is what Gao Jiu wanted.
When talking, you must leave some suspense and room. Just the right conversation is like a good meal. You don’t have to eat enough to leave. Once you eat, your interest will be greatly reduced in the future.
Gao Jiu saw the regretful expression on their faces, and he continued to throw out a bait and said, "I still have a song there, and I hope to get guidance from you two experts. I wonder when you have time?"
Ivan believed that Gao Jiu could create excellent works. He hoped to see other excellent works. He couldn't wait to say, "It's OK at any time."
Nina agreed with her lover's proposal, nodded and said, "I hope to see your other works as soon as possible."
Gao Jiu said: "If you two have time tomorrow, I want to ask you two back tomorrow."
Ivan and Nina were both very happy, and they agreed to meet here at noon tomorrow.
At noon the next day, Ivan and Nina, Gao Jiu and Ouyang Xue met again at this hotel.
The song Gao Jiu brought this time was an interlude in the 1958 film "Far Across the River": "Along the Quiet River".
"There are a little sparks far away on the other side of the river. The last sunset of the sky faded away. A company of young cavalry jumped onto the war horses and jumped over the fields to the front to reconnaissance. They rode forward in the quiet dark night, galloping for a long time in the vast grassland..."
This Russian folk song has beautiful melody, deep and heroic spirit, and high passion in sorrow, especially the part of the cavalry charging, the chorus is magnificent and unstoppable.
When Gao Jiu was singing this song, he deliberately made a slight difference from the original tune, which seemed not so perfect enough, and then asked Ivan and Nina for advice.
The three of them studied it carefully. In the end, under Gao Jiu's guidance, the song composed by Ivan was basically exactly the same as the songs in history.
Then the three of them sang the song together.
Ivan and Nina, especially Ivan, were really excited to participate in such song creation. He said excitedly: "Mr. Xiao, the song "Night outside Moscow" you created yesterday was recognized by my mentor. This song has now begun to be sung in our Conservatory of Music. It won't take long to stay. This song will definitely spread throughout the Soviet Union. And today's song, I dare to conclude that it will definitely become an immortal classic!"
Speaking of this, a hint of worry appeared on Ivan's face.
Gao Jiu understood what he meant. Such two beautiful Soviet songs should not be written by one Chinese. He said: "To be honest, neither of these two songs was created by me. I heard a wandering Soviet singer sang these two songs. Of course, I just made a little modification. Now, I hope to give these two songs to you both, and please accept them."
Ivan and Nina were both excited. They knew very well that if these two songs were created by them, they would definitely become a hit. However, both of them were honest young people and would not do anything to plagiarize other people's works.
Both Ivan and Nina declined.
Gao Jiu said: "The original creators of these two songs are from you Soviets, that is, Soviet songs. These two songs have a great influence on the Soviet music. For the sake of the great Soviet Union, I hope you can accept my gift.
The lyricist of these two songs can be anonymous, but the composition is directed by you two. I suggest that the lyricist of these two songs can be anonymous, and the songwriter will be Mr. Ivan."
Ivan was moved, but he refused to accept "Night outside Moscow". He said: "I did participate in the composition of "Along the Quiet River", and I can accept this."
Gao Jiu highly praised Nina and Ivan's character.
The atmosphere became more and more harmonious, and the conversation became more and more casual.
Generally speaking, when artists get along, they talk about art and don’t talk about family matters. However, Gao Jiu revealed that he had other classic Soviet songs, which needed to be co-created by Nina and Ivan. Nina and Ivan were both curious about Gao Jiu and couldn’t help but ask about his identity.
Speaking of this, Gao Jiu's mood suddenly became depressed. He said with a melancholy face: "Your motherland is extremely powerful and the people live a happy and stable life. However, my motherland is being trampled by the iron hooves of the Japanese invaders.
I am a weapon designer and I hope to make some contribution to the motherland during the Anti-Japanese War. Unfortunately, my level is limited, so I came to the Soviet Union to study. I brought some works, hoping to get guidance from Soviet military experts. Unfortunately, I am not familiar with the place and really don’t know where to find your country’s weapons experts?”
Of course Ivan knew what Nina's father did. He smiled and said, "It seems that we are really destined to be together. Do you know who Nina's father is?"
Gao Jiu looked confused, and he shook his head and said, "I don't know, but I guess he should be an amazing weapon design expert."
Nina also said proudly: "My father's name is Mikhail."
Gao Jiu looked awe-inspiringly, and he asked excitedly: "Is it Mr. Mikhail Ilyic Koshkin?"
Nina smiled and said, "It's my father."
Gao Jiu was so happy that he said, "Oh! No wonder Miss Nina is so outstanding. It turns out that you have such an amazing father."
This flattery was obviously a bit loophole. Nina is an excellent musician and does not seem to have any direct connection with his father who is engaged in weapon design. However, Gao Jiu's flattery still made Nina very happy.
Gao Jiu said: "Miss Nina! I designed a weapon myself and wanted to ask your father to give me some advice. Is it OK?"
Nina's father is a famous weapon expert and one of the key figures of the Soviet confidentiality department. Of course, Nina also understands confidentiality discipline. If it were the weapons designed by Nina's father, Nina would definitely not be able to talk about them out. But the situation is different now. Gao Jiu wants to let Nina's father watch the weapons he designed, so there is no problem of leaking secrets at all.
Nina said happily: "No problem. Even if you hand over the materials you designed to me, I will hand them over to my father and let him give you some guidance."
Gao Jiu carried a briefcase with him. He opened the briefcase, took out a tightly wrapped drawing from it, handed it to Nina, and left his address and phone number.
In this way, Gao Jiu finally established a connection with Mikhail, and then waited patiently.
At 9 o'clock that night, Ning Wen came to Gao Jiu's room nervously. He said, "Master Jiu, there are many suspicious people around our residence. Those people look very tough and should be carrying weapons. I wonder where they are from?"
All this was long before Gao Jiu expected. He said calmly: "These people are agents of the KGB, the Soviet intelligence agency. Ignore them, we should do whatever we should do."
Gao Jiu had expected that when the drawing he designed appeared in front of Mikhail, it would definitely shock him. He would definitely report this matter to his superiors, and would also shock the Soviet Ministry of Military Industry and the KGB.
For the KGB, what Gao Jiu had revealed important information, which on the one hand would make them suspect that there was a serious leak in the Soviet military industry, and they would definitely investigate it seriously.
Even if there was no leak in the Soviet military industry, Gao Jiu had the secret of such an advanced weapon, and the Soviets would not let Gao Jiu leave the Soviet Union again. When necessary, they would rather kill Gao Jiu than let the secret of this weapon flow into other countries.
Therefore, they immediately surrounded the residences of Gao Jiu and others. They decided that Mikhail would first have a direct contact with Gao Jiu and then make the final decision based on his understanding of Gao Jiu.
