Soviet Union 1991

(First update, kindly remind you that the truth of the Vanta incident has not been verified, the novel is purely fictional, if you take it seriously, you will lose)

This is the first time Leo Vanta has set foot in Moscow. As a CIA agent, he certainly would not believe the depressed and solemn scenes in American movies that were specially shown to discredit the Soviet Union, where military police patrol the streets at any time to arrest counter-revolutionaries, and people live in poverty. As the capital of the Soviet Union, Moscow, the majestic scene of the magnificent central building here is often awe-inspiring.

The red walls and towers of the Kremlin quietly reflect the blue and white sky, forming an unparalleled group of brilliant and magnificent art buildings. Leo Vanta picked up the camera, aimed at the white doves flying in the square, and with a click, it was frozen into a beautiful artistic landscape photo.

Leo Vanta entered Moscow as a tourist. Since Gorbachev came to power, the passport review of the Soviet people has been relaxed. The people can more easily contact the outside Western world, and the impact on their thoughts will also become greater and greater. In addition, there were a large number of traitors in the Soviet Propaganda Department, which led to the absurd idea that freedom and democracy could save the world.

I wonder what those who personally overthrew the iron curtain that protected the people and triumphantly declared victory felt after seeing the tragic scene after the disintegration of the Soviet Union.

The relaxation of immigration policies also made it easy for intelligence personnel with ulterior motives like Leo Vanta to enter Moscow and cooperate with the corrupt forces lurking in the upper echelons. Although the previous purge cleared some of the termites, there were still some guys who were hiding very deeply waiting for Leo Vanta's life-saving money.

For example, Litnin, Deputy Minister of Finance of the Soviet Union, was one of the targets of Leo Vanta's rebellion. As the main executor of the dollar-ruble exchange plan, Litnin set the location of the transaction in Moscow in order to immediately get the benefits that belonged to him, obtain citizenship of Western countries, and leave Yanayev's bloody reign of terror. Of course, Leo Vanta agreed to all of Li Tenin's requests. As the executor, he didn't know how much could be exchanged in the end. Only those bigwigs with gloomy faces sitting in the office were qualified to make the final decision.

With a hint of nervousness and uneasiness, and with the support of Bush, Leo Vanta finally had the opportunity to implement the "Great Ruble Scam" plan specially approved by Bush. For this, a sum of 5 billion US dollars appeared in the account of Vanta's New Republic Financial Group, preparing for the purchase of 140 billion rubles this time.

The transaction was held in an inconspicuous Khrushchev building. According to the rules of the transaction, 2.7 billion US dollars will first enter the bearer account, and the rest will enter another dozen accounts in five times after the first transaction is completed. This transaction involved the CIA, the Federal Reserve, and some Swiss banks. The capitalists who were ambitious to establish the evil financial axis from London to Wall Street united to send the last country that prevented them from ruling the world with the US dollar to the graveyard of history.

Leo Wanta sat on a chair in the room, waiting for Li Tenin's arrival with some anxiety. In his suitcase was a computer specifically responsible for account transfers and expenditures. At this time, the door was opened, and Li Tenin, with an anxious face, walked in. Behind him was a young man. Although he was not as worried as Li Tenin from the Ministry of Finance, his eyes revealed a trace of anxiety.

However, Leo Wanta was obviously dissatisfied with this unexpected episode. He pointed at the young man and questioned his trading partner, "Li Tenin, who is this person? He didn't appear in our script."

Before Li Tenin could answer, the young man next to him said directly, "My name is Ivan, Mr. Li Tenin's assistant. Of course, you can't complete this transaction without me, so I should also get my penny." After that, the young man named Ivan licked his lips and showed a greedy look.

"Haha." Leo Wanta sneered a few times, obviously not believing his words. Just as he was about to end the deal, Li Tenin, with a gloomy face, secretly made a gesture of wiping his neck, and Vanta, who had received agent training, understood it instantly.

It seems that Li Tenin must have reached an unexpected deal with people around him in order to get 140 billion rubles. He didn't want to pin the crime on himself, so he wanted the CIA to be the villain. Leo Vanta didn't like borrowing a knife to kill people, but for the sake of his country, he would do it reluctantly.

"We enter the account and password at the same time, and the transfer will only be carried out after both parties press confirm. Of course, 3 billion US dollars is not a small amount, so we can't touch any buttons before the transfer is completed, understand?" Leo Vanta took out a pistol with a silencer from his waist and pointed it at Li Tenin and the young man beside him who didn't care.

"No problem, but if I transfer the money to your account and then find that no funds have been deposited into my account, I'm afraid I can't help you, my old friend." Li Tening's expression was somewhat regretful, as if he was looking at a dying person, which gave Leowanta an ominous premonition.

"Let's open our respective accounts now." Wan Ta licked his lips that had become chapped due to dryness, trying to put aside some negative suggestions and influences, and prepared to devote himself to this action. He took out a piece of paper from his pocket, on which a string of seemingly dense and irregular characters were recorded in a mess, and then he tapped the keyboard with ease and opened the account with 5 billion yuan in funds. Similarly, Li Tening also entered the account password in a formal manner. The two confirmed the amount on each other's account at the same time.

"Then let's get started." Wan Ta took a deep breath and clicked to confirm.

The CIA was also watching every move of the transaction. If there was any mistake, they would immediately freeze the account with a large amount of funds. CIA Director Robert Gates personally supervised the implementation of this plan. They watched the degree bar reach 99%, and then it showed that the transaction was completed.

After the transaction was completed, both parties needed to confirm again. Just as Wan Ta was about to press the button, the young man suddenly rushed up and pressed Wan Ta, who was focused on the screen, to the ground, and the silencer pistol was also thrown aside. The sudden change made Vanta at a loss. He had not yet realized that this was a scam set by the Soviet Union.

The obviously trained young man pressed Vanta's neck and said coldly, "I'm sorry, Mr. Vanta, you are under arrest." Then he pressed the cancel button, and the transaction that was originally intended to be confirmed was unilaterally terminated. Of course, the 3 billion funds that flowed to the designated Swiss bank account still remained in the account provided by Li Tening.

"It's useless." Vanta, who understood what was going on, sneered, "The Federal Reserve is also monitoring this money. As long as something goes wrong, they will immediately notify the Swiss side to freeze the account inside, so that you can't get any money out."

"If I'm not mistaken, it will take a minute for the money to be confirmed from the arrival. In this case, it's enough for us to do something, right, Minister Li Tening." Li Tening said slowly.

"You betrayed me from the beginning? My friend." Vanta looked at Li Tening in disbelief. The secret activities of the past few months were arranged perfectly. How did the Soviet side find out?

"You actually chose to betray me with this evil regime." Vanta roared. He wanted to struggle to get up, but was held down firmly.

Litning himself was also depressed why the KGB inexplicably broke into his home that night and found evidence of collusion with Vanta. The KGB agent threatened Litning that as long as he cooperated with them well, nothing would happen. Under pressure, Litning had to agree to join this trap of pulling out a rabbit out of a hat.

After all, the life and death of the whole family was in the hands of the Soviet leader with a gloomy expression in the Kremlin.

Vanta didn't expect that this trap was originally used to drag down the Soviet economy, but he didn't expect to be tricked by others. Not only did he fall into a situation of isolation and helplessness, but also put the US 5 billion funds into a crisis of being embezzled.

And of course, the promised support was gone. Of course, Vanta didn't know that the CIA was in chaos at this time because of the sudden loss of signals from Moscow.
