In the 1970s, the living standards of the Soviet people were actually very good. There was no special shortage of materials, no economic recession, and every five-year goal was accomplished very well. The Soviet Union became the second best in the world. Big country.
The ruble is also extremely strong, but unlike Russia in later generations, the Soviet Union disintegrated and thought it could live a good life, but the result was a total decline.
Nowadays, the people of the Soviet Union also travel abroad. Although Ekaterina and Diana are in the United States for the first time, they are not very unfamiliar. When they were in college, they had already been to West Germany and had seen the West. What the world looks like.
The shopping boulevard in Boston is similar to West Berlin.
The two held hands and walked on the street, with their handbags slung on their shoulders, and they looked innocent.
On the side of the road, there was a beggar sitting there, lazily basking in the sun. Now, the welfare system in the United States is already very good, even if you don’t have to work, you can live on relief.
This beggar should be such a person.
The two passed by the beggar, without stopping at all. This is just the role of passerby. The two have no interest in the beggar of the American emperor.
However, they didn't know that a cold light flashed in the eyes of this beggar.
He stared at their handbags closely, his throat moved a few times, and his fists slowly clenched.
He glanced around with the corner of his eye and found no police officers on patrol. Then, he slowly stood up, and suddenly, speeded up and ran like a lion.
His movements are extremely vigorous. His figure is very swift and violent. He is not like a beggar who eats and waits to die. On the contrary, he looks like a warrior who has passed the test of life and death on the battlefield. His posture of bending forward is like being Braving the enemy's machine gun to advance in general.
He stepped forward, ran more than a dozen meters, and sprinted to the maximum speed. At the same time, he happened to be behind the two girls. Then, his hands were like pliers and grabbed one of the girls' handbags.
"Huh, huh!" His hands were violent, and he easily tore off the strap of his handbag. All of this happened in an instant. When the two girls in front turned their heads, he had already grabbed one of them. The handbag, the speed is almost constant, and you have to run afterwards.
"Robbery, someone robbed." At this time, Ekaterina realized what happened, and her bag was robbed like this
She didn’t see that Diana’s reaction was very quick. It was absolutely not like an ordinary medical school girl. After she found out that she was robbed, it was almost a backhand, and she grabbed the beggar’s clothes. angle.
"Want to run? No way, return the bag!" Diana shouted.
It's a pity that both of them speak Russian. Only then will they know how important it is to learn one more foreign language.
The beggar wanted to run, but was grabbed at the back corner of his clothes. He could only stop, turned around, and quickly strangled Diana's neck with the arm that didn't carry the bag.
He was tall, a full 18 meters, but Diana was only about 1.6 meters. Diana was strangled by her neck, she immediately let go of her hands, and both hands grasped the arm weakly, thinking Take the opponent's arm away.
But it was useless. Diana's feet had left the ground. She felt that she could not breathe. Her lungs had begun to hallucinate due to lack of oxygen. Her life seemed to be only a few seconds left.
There was a fierce light in the beggar’s eyes. Only a bloodthirsty who had killed many people could show such a gaze. Now, his spirit is in extreme excitement. He only wants to kill others so that he can live. Go down.
In front of his eyes, it seemed that dense bullets and terrible shells appeared. His comrades in arms were falling continuously. They were trapped in the enemy's ambush, and he was the only one who survived in the end.
"Stop, put her down." At this moment, a voice came not far away. This voice pulled him back to reality.
The war is over. He is no longer a veteran. He is just an unemployed man. He returned from the battlefield and died nine deaths, but he is not a hero. In the eyes of others, he is just an executioner.
He has looked for jobs many times, but when he heard that he had fought on the battlefield in Vietnam, he was fired again and again. Now, he is just a beggar who lives on unemployment benefits.
But this month, the government's relief has been delayed for several days, and he hadn't eaten for a day, so he couldn't help but start.
He returned to reality, and then looked in the direction of the voice, only to see two plainclothes policemen holding guns at him.
How did these two plainclothes police officers come? So fast, it's like protecting them behind these two girls! The beggar looked at the guns held by the two men in an unprofessional posture. One of them was still shaking. If he was on the battlefield, he could easily kill them.
"Let go of them!" the two police officers continued to shout.
The beggar slowly let go of his hand, Diana's body slipped softly from his arm, and she had passed out.
"Dianna!" It happened so suddenly that Ekaterina didn't even react. Her bag was robbed. Dianna caught the grabbing bag but was strangled by the other party. Then, the police arrived again. .
"Diana, Diana!" Ekaterina shook Diana's body vigorously. Finally, Diana coughed twice and woke up.
"You, squat down slowly, holding your head with both hands." At this time, the two plainclothes are still waiting in a serious battle. They probably also know the identity of the beggar. Recently, there have been many security incidents in *. It's not easy to deal with. The police are far behind the soldiers.
"Two girls, come here." They continued to shout to "Friends of the Soviet Union."
Soviet warships came to visit Boston. This is of course a major event. The Boston Police Department mobilized enough police to follow them, protecting them on the one hand, and surveillance on the other. What if these people conduct sabotage
I thought it would be easier to monitor two female soldiers, but I ran into this short-eyed guy. The two were just little policemen, and they really didn't deal with such emergencies.
On the one hand, they stopped the beggar's actions, and on the other hand they asked the two girls to come over quickly, but they forgot one thing, these two girls do not understand English.
The two girls did not understand what they were saying, so one of the policemen could only walk over slowly, trying to drag the two girls away.
At this time, the beggar had already squatted down, and when the policeman bent over to help Diana up, the beggar suddenly got into trouble. (End of this chapter)
