I'm the boss because I have a harem of anime characters.

This scene was naturally captured by the nearby camera. The city's AI immediately determined that this was no ordinary smuggler and that a strong crackdown was necessary. As a result, sirens blared around the area, and more drones flew over. However, this time, some of the drones were larger, and the weapons mounted on them had changed from air guns and tranquilizer darts to 8mm physical tranquilizer guns.

In layman's terms, it means: 8mm general-purpose machine gun.

After the war of liberation in Europe, the Soviet army completely phased out small-caliber weapons. The rapid development of caseless ammunition and electromagnetic weapons led to the development of infantry equipment towards heavy standard. After all, exoskeleton technology had also matured. Even if the equipment remained the same, the amount of supplies that an individual soldier could carry was more than five times that of an ordinary soldier in the past.

Therefore, the Soviet Army currently uses two main weapon calibers: 8mm and 15mm.

The former is the standard caliber of a single-soldier rifle, while the latter is the caliber of a machine gun. With some effort, it could eventually reach the caliber of a cannon.

But it was no use. The moment these things appeared, Xiao Zhai took away control. Soon, a rather peculiar scene formed in the area: a man and a woman, and two little girls, surrounded by a circle of intelligent weapons. However, none of the weapons were pointed at the four people, but rather outwards, as if loyal guards were protecting their king.

At this point, the AI ​​system determined that the situation was beyond expectations and transferred the call to human assistance. Upon seeing this, the human operator jumped up immediately. This was not something they could handle. Report it! Report it immediately!

The matter was then reported to the mayor of Berlin, who decided to increase police presence, consult with the party secretary, and contact the military, citing the possibility of a terrorist attack.

Something was clearly wrong with these four people. The fact that they could hack into the city's system so easily and strip the intelligent robots of their highest authority seemed premeditated. If they were not careful, Berlin might be set off with a few spectacular fireworks.

I'm still a young man under eighty years old, and I don't want to go to Siberia to report for duty.

But just then, a phone call came into the mayor's office.

The mayor of Berlin felt a slight unease upon seeing the encrypted number.

Either Moscow Central Command has attacked, or...

"Hello, this is Hanno, please speak."

A minute later, the mayor wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.

Good news: It wasn't Moscow Central that made the call.

Bad news: The call was from the Stasi.

But overall it's good news, because this matter falls under the Stasi's jurisdiction.

Hopefully nothing goes wrong. Even if it's fireworks, please don't let them explode inside Berlin.

Section 66: Angelia's Judgment

"That's right, it's them. I didn't expect them to appear in this kind of place."

K pointed to Qin Shan and his group on the screen and said that he had been on a mission in Paris and had only recently returned to the Stasi headquarters in Berlin. He didn't expect to run into his old nemesis after only two days of vacation.

They were indeed enemies. They stole a million rubles from him and then vanished without a trace. No matter how the Stasi and KGB investigated, these four people seemed to have evaporated into thin air, as if a series of bright slaps from the void were hitting the Soviet intelligence agencies in the face, with a mocking effect.

Although the Soviet Union is currently in a semi-civil war state, and there are recent signs of escalation, making it difficult for me to focus my efforts, I am still a world superpower with the most powerful intelligence system in the world. Why should you dare to bully me? Why should you?

But that's reality. No matter how absurd it is, since it has happened, reality must be respected. So, as the head of the KGB branch and the highest-ranking official in the Stasi (in this world, the Stasi is equivalent to a branch of the KGB, so it's fine to think of it as a KGB branch named Stasi), Angelia chose to put the matter aside for the time being. After all, the other party could remain hidden to this extent, and unless they showed up on their own initiative, it was highly unlikely that they could be found. She assigned the task of finding the person to the agents and told them to keep an eye out while carrying out other missions, at least until the other party actually caused harm to the Soviet Union.

And now, the other party has shown up on their own initiative, right here in Berlin, without even an identity card.

"Isn't this a bit too arrogant? They don't have ID cards and have hacked into the security system, openly defying Soviet state order in the streets. Are they really Southern Soviet agents, or are they deliberately here to cause trouble?"

"Is it possible that they really didn't come in without ID cards?"

"How do you think they managed to do that? Or rather, if they could do that, why would they deliberately not make ID cards?"

"So this was intentional, but what were they trying to do?"

Angelia pondered for a moment, then said, "Let's make contact with them first. Judging from their actions, they don't seem to have any malicious intent. Otherwise, if someone capable of this were to carry out a terrorist attack in Berlin, it would be on Soviet news by now."

"I'll go. I'm quite familiar with them."

When K said this, his expression was somewhat helpless and embarrassed, since the meeting had ended with him being extorted for money.

"Okay, I'm leaving it to you. Be careful."

"I will write my will first."

K shrugged, his attitude also telling Angelia that if something really happened, she should not hold back and should do everything in her power to suppress the situation, otherwise things would get very bad.

The existence of a tactical humanoid that can be suppressed in a minute doesn't seem like a danger that can be dealt with by conventional individual weapons.

"Take it easy, it's just contact."

Angelia's confident smile eased the tension among the other comrades a little.

But in reality, Angelia had already mentally ostracized Qin Shan and his associates from their Southern Jiangsu citizenship.

These people could not possibly be from southern Jiangsu, much less have any official background in southern Jiangsu. This is not the way southern Jiangsu would act. In other words, if southern Jiangsu really did this, the seriousness of the matter would be second only to the Fourth World War, and it might even become the fuse for the Fourth World War.

Hopefully, things won't get worse.

On the other side, Qin Shan and his group casually found a restaurant along the street and sat down, looking just like they were on vacation in Berlin.

This was a real headache for the shop owner. Anyone could see that dealing with these people now would lead to serious trouble later, but he was worried about his shop if he just ran out like that, so he could only hide under the counter, trembling with fear.

Fortunately, Qin Shan had no intention of causing trouble for innocent civilians. He simply sat there under the protection of a group of intelligent robot bodyguards, completely ignoring the cameras scanning the four of them. It was clear that he was waiting for someone.

Who are they waiting for? I don't know, but Angelia believes they are waiting for a government official of sufficient importance.

The Stasi's share was clearly sufficient.

But at that moment, a woman dressed in a black uniform, with an enviable figure and delicate features, but exuding the seriousness and earnestness of the German military, appeared near the group of intelligent robots.

"Wait, someone is approaching that group of people."

"Wasn't the area already sealed off? How come people are still breaking in?"

"I don't know. This person appeared suddenly, that's right, suddenly. It's outrageous! None of the cameras here had captured this person before."

"The big data comparison is in. This woman was previously in the Mitsu District, so how did she suddenly end up here?"

"The other cameras didn't detect any movement, unless the person was walking through blind spots. Damn it, are those blind spots in Berlin even places a normal person could walk?"

"Stop complaining, special circumstances have already occurred, hurry up and think of a solution."

"Wait a minute, is it possible that the person they're waiting for is this woman?"

These words were like a wake-up call, and Angelia's brows quickly furrowed.

The situation took an unexpected turn, but why would the other party go to such lengths to find someone? Or were they unaware of the other party's presence and deliberately created such a commotion to attract attention?

No, no, no, that judgment is unreasonable. There are many ways to be attractive without arousing suspicion. There is absolutely no need to go to this extent, unless this person is the one the other party is waiting for, and we are also the one the other party is waiting for.

Yes, that makes perfect sense.

"Tell K that the plan continues; the other side is actually waiting for us too."

"Yes!"

Angelia's gaze returned to the screen, where a little girl was happily hugging the woman, looking every bit like a daughter who had found her mother.

What a heartwarming scene, if we disregard the actual circumstances.

The actual situation on the scene was completely different from Angelia's imagination.

"Sister! Sister Bismarck! I miss you so much!"

"Me too, Xiao Zhai."

Bismarck held the little girl in his arms, his serious expression replaced by a gentle smile.

"Xiao Zhai" is an affectionate nickname, showing affection for a little sister. If it were "Bei Zhai," Bismarck would directly call her Tirpitz, or simply say "Bitz." "Bei Zhai" is a nickname reserved for Qin Shan; if anyone else calls her that, it will only provoke Tirpitz's displeasure. However, "Xiao Zhai" is a nickname that everyone in the port can use.

"Welcome home, Bismarck."

Qin Shan walked over and extended his right hand to Bismarck.

Bismarck gladly grasped Qin Shan's hand, stood up, and saluted Qin Shan.

"Admiral, Bismarck is back in command."

Section 67: Turbulent Times Bring Opportunities

Happy times are always short-lived, because someone will always try to ruin them.

Qin Shan had just made contact with Bismarck when K arrived. Since they were acquaintances with a million-ruble relationship, let's just get straight to business (K: Arminus).

"I remember your name is Kane, a Stasi. What a coincidence." (K is his code name, Kane is his real name. It's normal for agents to have their own code names. In fact, in a certain game, the operators all use their code names, so they are all agents. Yes, that must be it.)

Faced with Qin Shan's indifferent expression, K could only say expressionlessly, "Isn't this where you were waiting for me?"

Qin Shan held up a finger and shook it: "Wrong. As long as someone of sufficient importance comes, that's enough. The Stasi is obviously more important than the mayor of Berlin, but you are definitely not the highest-ranking official. Besides, the entire Stasi organization is only a part of the KGB, so everyone you sent here can only be considered a mouthpiece for Moscow."

"Since you put it that way, it's clear that there's something of considerable importance to be exchanged."

Since the topic has turned to the exchange of benefits, K smoothly transitioned into work mode. He leaned back in his chair, adopting the posture of a client, as if the other party needed his help.

"Is the Soviet Union's civil war over?" Qin Shan suddenly asked.

K felt a pang of anxiety, but remained outwardly calm, saying, "This is just a minor internal conflict; it will be resolved soon."

"A minor conflict that allows the use of collapse bombs?"

Damn it, how did they know!?

K never imagined that the intelligence the Soviet Union had been suppressing so desperately would be known by an organization whose name the KGB still didn't know. Could it be that the KGB had also been infiltrated?

"Don't be nervous. I can tell you that I was there when the collapse bomb exploded in Ukraine."

.......

"I also rescued a soldier named Gale."

"By the way, I rescued people from the Soviet Union and Ukraine. In their eyes, Moscow Central is considered Soviet revisionism."

.....

K didn't know what to say. This person knew the Soviet Union very well, and even had the ability to conduct on-site investigations.

Has the KGB's intelligence service degenerated to such a level that it doesn't even know what's happening in its own backyard?!

"Alright, I'm just saying this to show my sincerity." Qin Shan spread his hands.

It was also a form of protest, K added in his mind. But outwardly, the question was: "What exactly do you want?"

K's posture changed from leaning back in the chair to leaning forward, while Qin Shan remained leaning back in his chair, clearly showing the offensive and defensive dynamics between the two sides.

"Don't be so nervous. I don't mean to cause you any trouble. Or rather, we can do business together."

"Doing business? We don't have that authority."

Having financial power over an intelligence agency is a fatal thing, as the CIA has proven. That's why after the Second Soviet Revolution, the KGB was stripped of all financial power and even its political power was strictly limited. The intelligence agencies were told to just focus on their intelligence work and not get involved in all that other stuff.

"It doesn't matter. I'll just treat you as a mouthpiece to inform Moscow, and the rest is up to you."

"Judging from your tone, it seems you are prepared to offer a bargaining chip that we cannot refuse, is that right?"

"That's right, because we'll be using this for our transactions."

As soon as he finished speaking, Qin Shan placed a gold bar on the table.

These are recast gold bars from the Federal Reserve. They have no information on them; they are just pure, beautiful gold that reflects light. They are something that can move people both physically and spiritually.

"If it's a precious metals transaction, you can buy whatever you want anywhere."

“You’re right, we also have people in the United States.”

Well, the relationship between the robber and the robbed is so complicated that the Federal Reserve is on the verge of collapse. But Qin Shan didn't go into details, so nobody knows what's going on. Even if the Soviet Union knew about this, they are currently too busy to deal with it.

In general, the world's bipolar structure is gradually disintegrating and developing towards multipolarity or unipolarity.

What do you want?

"That's the job Moscow is in charge of. Just pass on the message. Here's our contact information."

Qin Shan sent the other party a chat app, then got up to leave.

"Won't you leave your name?"

"We are the Liberation Alliance."

"Liberation Alliance?"

K carefully considered the sentence and then concluded that it was an organization he had never heard of before.

Back in the Stasi, after K gave a detailed report on the conversation, Angelia's brows furrowed, then tightened, and finally she sighed, saying bluntly, "Let the higher-ups handle this. This matter is beyond our capabilities."

It is indeed an organization I've never heard of, but don't be ridiculous about secret organizations. Any professional who has worked in the field of intelligence knows that under the intelligence networks of the two superpowers, it is impossible for a completely invisible organization to exist, unless it is an organization that exists in the open in other ways. After all, any organization on Earth has its own economic activities, and as long as there are economic activities, there will inevitably be resource exchanges with the outside world. With resource exchanges, there will be intelligence leaks. There are no secrets in the world, unless the other party is an alien.

"Chief, we've lost them."

Although the negotiations ended and the other party chose to leave peacefully, as an intelligence organization, it was impossible for the Stasi not to send agents to track Qin Shan and his group. However, execution was one thing, and whether it could be done was another.
