Chapter 260: The Glory Is Followed by the President

Russian security personnel are finally not as rustic as domestic security guards. Putin is wearing a navy blue suit, and he looks very energetic.

When Fan Wubing saw him, Putin was holding a communicator and was giving some instructions to his companions, but his eyes were floating around. It turned out that he had been a KGB man and was meticulous in his old skills.

It is said that Putin's judo and wrestling skills are very famous and can be regarded as masters. This is in Russia. If he is in China, it is hard to imagine a martial arts master who can enter the highest power level. He gives people the impression that he has similarities with Yeltsin. He looks quite iron-fisted, but Putin's political vision is more keen and good at seizing opportunities to do big business, which is worth learning from by Fan Wubing.

Fan Wubing looked at Putin and said to the people around him, "Come on, I'll take a few photos with this Russian hero."

"Probably, the KGB successors are not willing to take photos with customers, right?" said the embassy staff accompanying him with some uncertainty.

As a member of the National Security Agency who often has to engage in secret work, these agents are naturally unwilling to leave their own video materials anywhere. Doing so is a hidden danger to their own security issues. But Fan Wubing knows that Putin's work energy and focus at this time should have been shifted to politics, so he probably doesn't mind this?

So the staff picked up the camera, and Fan Wubing walked forward quickly. In the astonished eyes of everyone, he hugged Putin's shoulder, and then said enthusiastically, "Comrade Vladimir Vladimirovic, I'm so happy to see you!"

Putin has a medium figure, which is only 1.7 meters tall, a little lower than Fan Wubing. At first, he heard Fan Wubing say this, and it made Fan Wubing even more convinced that he could understand Chinese.

The staff took several photos in a row, and then Fan Wubing let go of Putin and walked into the hotel with great strides, leaving Putin with a surprised face.

"How could he know my full name?" Putin asked the security staff beside him suspiciously.

The few people next to him shrugged, saying that they had no idea. God knows how this young Chinese man, who looks less than 20 years old, could know the name of the chairman of the St. Petersburg External Liaison Committee. This seems to be an unlikely event.

After entering the room, the staff of the embassy took out some electronic tools from their carry-on equipment, searched carefully in the room, and then confirmed that there was no eavesdropping device installed here.

Fan Wubing nodded and said, "Thank you all for your hard work. If this matter is done, I will ask you for me after returning to China."

His words were not aimless. This time he had a big goal, and there were many intelligence personnel involved in the event. He was sure that these people would not come in vain. In addition to helping him achieve his goals, they probably also had to do some private work. Therefore, the saying of asking for me is a favor that goes with the flow and will not be spared.

However, not long after, a leader from the embassy came to find Fan Wubing. He asked Fan Wubing curiously, "How could President Fan know Putin? He had always served the KGB before, and only declared his withdrawal from the KGB and entered politics after the August 19th incident. However, for a while, he was probably building the team of the Ministry of National Security for President Yeltsin."

"You people who work in intelligence are really sensitive!" Fan Wubing saw through the other party's meaning, probably because he didn't understand why he knew a secret agent like Putin, so he replied, "I have learned the art of face-to-face with people. About ten people can like eight or nine out of ten people. Judging from the face-to-face, this person will become the president of Russia, so I went over and took a photo with him."

"The art of face-to-face?" The leader was stunned. He had read Fan Wubing's information and knew that the most important thing in this trip was to protect Fan Wubing's safety, and then the targets to take action. Therefore, he had to seriously ask about all the details. Who knew that Fan Wubing actually took such an unreliable answer to deal with him, which was really depressed.

The art of confrontation? That's nonsense! The leader suddenly became a little angry.

Fan Wubing saw the displeasure of the leader, so he smiled and said, "Some things are mysterious. I can responsibly guarantee that within ten years, Putin will definitely become the president of Russia. If you don't believe it, let's make a bet. If I lose, I will give you 100 million US dollars. If you lose, how about quit your job and go to our company to do external liaison work?"

"Is your words true or not?" The leader is a diplomat, very capable, and there is room for improvement in the future. Otherwise, Fan Wubing would not have made such a bet with him. However, after hearing Fan Wubing's confident bet, he still felt a little unbelievable.

Putin was only forty years old at this time and had been the KGB again. Russians hated the KGB very much. Even if he could not care about Putin's age at that time, could he tolerate a KGB becoming the supreme leader of the country? What's more, Putin seemed to be returning to his old career at this time.

"A gentleman says a word and a quick whip. If I don't say it correctly, you can just come to ask for money." Fan Wubing said with a faint smile.

Almost at the same time, Putin also obtained Fan Wubing's information and couldn't help but be amazed. It turned out that this young man was actually a world-class rich man who was hidden and had a strong influence in China and many physical enterprises. He also had a considerable amount of invisible investment in countries such as the United States.

"They will definitely not come here this time, just for the traditional friendship between China and Russia, nor can they simply organize retired old men to travel for public expenses. This must have an unspeakable purpose!" Putin analyzed to his subordinates with the detailed information about Fan Wubing that he had just obtained.

One of his subordinates put forward different opinions, "Valoja, I really find it hard to believe that those old men can do anything surprising. I guess they can take care of themselves as their greatest blessing. Can they still engage in secret operations?"

Valoja is Putin's nickname, and only some people around him call him that. After hearing what his subordinates said, he frowned and said, "But there are not many young people besides those old men? Who can be sure that they are not agents?"

Everyone was silent. This matter was indeed hard to say. China's national conditions are that it is large and powerful, and it has innate advantages in intelligence work. If you put on a tactic of people, you can make foreigners dizzy and unable to find their direction at all.

"Anyway, you must keep an eye on them and you must not make any mistakes." Putin said to everyone.

Although during the Soviet era, the KGB often overtook other departments and even over the law, in general, the KGB was just a tool, which could be used by Soviet leaders, and Russian leaders could also be used, and must be used. It can be said that the KGB was an institution serving totalitarianism, but had very professional personnel and organizations. In other words, this is just a tool, and the key is to serve whom. It can serve totalitarianism, but it can also serve democratic politics.

At the same time, as an intelligence agency with a long history and a huge organization, the KGB could not disappear in one night. Although the collapse of the Soviet Union had suffered a huge impact, it did not collapse, but reformed and reorganized.

In January 1992, Yeltsin signed an order to announce the establishment of the Russian Ministry of State Security to replace the CIA. However, because many people from the Russian Ministry of State Security intervened in the struggle against Yeltsin by parliament, Yeltsin was very annoyed. He gradually had the consideration of abolishing the Russian Ministry of State Security and replaced it with the counter-espionage agency. The bureau was later reorganized into the Russian Federation Security Agency. Later, the Russian intelligence system was composed of the Federal Security Agency and the Foreign Intelligence Agency. In a sense, both institutions were the successors of the KGB, but they had been completely reborn.

It is absolutely impossible to lead such an important institution without a capable and reliable person. Yeltsin has been considering finding a person he feels comfortable in taking charge of this department. Putin is the candidate he values, but Putin has just returned here and has not yet gained Yeltsin's full recognition.

So making some outstanding achievements is what Putin needs at present. Facing this incredible tour group of old Chinese men, Putin's mood is very complicated. I just hope that they really come here to travel.

During a few days, the old man tour group visited various scenic spots and historical sites near Moscow. They were very interested. They not only took photos everywhere, but also went to universities and churches to participate in public activities. They even asked Moscow to help them find some Soviet experts who aided China in the past. They held several meetings to talk about the traditional friendship between the Chinese and Soviet people and miss the busy construction scenes at that time.

Putin and others followed the tour group, monitoring everything tremblingly as if they were facing a great enemy.

The staff around Fan Wubing looked at him holding a camera in depressed manner, constantly photographing Putin and his companions who were in the stalking convoy and even walking, and then happily collected them, as if they were some treasure.

"Mr. Fan, we really don't understand why you were shooting these things. Is it useful?" A staff member couldn't help asking Fan Wubing.

Fan Wubing smiled and shook his head, "You will understand in the future."

The opportunity to be personally followed by the president of a major country is rare, and it is even more rare to be able to retain the video data. How could Fan Wubing miss such a really expensive opportunity? When Putin really becomes president, these photos will probably become priceless treasures? Even if it is left for future generations, it is a matter of pride.
