the East, after the peace with the West is signed. -"But", thought Shtirlitz, "allies will never negotiate with Himmler, because for the entire world the words "Himmler" and a "hangman" merged together for good. So, then it is not Himmler, is he? This means, that for the solution of the task of the Center, he must get in contact with Himmler. February 20, 1945 , 23:54 = 11:54 PM Here, in Kepenige, on the shore of Shpray river, lived his secret radio operators Ervin and Ket. By arriving here now, Shtirlitz was breaking the laws of conspiracy, to which he was subordinating for two decades strictly and scrupulously. But he just could not wait. And Ervin's wife Ket was pregnant. They did not expect Shtirlitz today here. They had contacts on Mondays, but today was Wednesday. Wednesday was a special day. And Ervin understood that they'll work tonight. Good evening. You are looking just great. -You belong to that rare type of wonderful women, whose pregnancies makes them even more beautiful. -Pregnancy always makes any woman more beautiful. And you, men, simply did not have a chance to notice that at all. This is very correctly said. -Do you want coffee black or with milk? -Where did you get the milk from? -I again forgot to bring you milk. I traded something for it, she compulsorily needs at least a little bit of milk daily. We do have milk now. Two large cans. And coffee substitute made of dried carrots. Now I know, what an enormous craftiness is the food for a pregnant female. -Could you play a little for us something, please? Sure. Did you check your air vents for listening devices in there? I did check them. There is nothing there. Why? Or your friends from SD could have invented something new of their - filthy listening devices? - Who knows! It is not impossible. Humans most of all love to learn about other people's secrets. Well, what's going on? I received an order from the Center. I must find out who from the leaders of the country is trying to start peace negotiations with the West? They have in mind someone from Hitler's management, not less. What do you think about my order? Crazy!? Isn't it? They think there, in the Center, that if I am not exposed for the past 20 years, then I can do anything. Would be good for me to become Himmler's deputy or to become one of the Fuhrers altogether. Just in case. Hail Shtirlitz! I become grumbler? Don't you think? It's OK. It is becoming to you. Now, how do you plan on giving birth, my little-one? It seems that a new method of doing it is not yet invented. The day before yesterday I spoke with an obstetrician. -I do not want you to get you frighten, kids... ...but for myself I got quite scared. This old doctor said to me that during the baby delivery he can determine the true nationality of any woman. -I do not understand. How? - Keep playing, little-one, and do not be frightened. - First listen, and then we'll think what we can do about it. You see, the women actually shout during a child birth. - Oh, really? And I thought that they sing lovely songs. You see, little-one, they indeed scream, but in their native language. With the true dialect of that locality, where they were born. This means, you will shout out "mummy" in Russian language or at least with your Ryazansk dialect. With your Eastern Russian dialect! What shell we do then? -What if you go to Sweden? I could be able to arrange that. - You will remain here without a radio operator then. - But I will remain here. - She won't be allowed to travel alone. Only together with you. You, as an invalid, require a medical treatment. I'll make a fake invitation from German fake relatives. You alone won't be permitted through the border. Because it is his uncle registered by us as a Swedish Nazi. Not your uncle. - We will remain here. It's OK. I will shout in German. Well, add a little of Russian swearing to ------------------------------ Читайте также: - текст Мечте навстречу на английском - текст Крылья, ноги и хвосты на английском - текст Перегон на английском - текст Зеркало на английском - текст Питер Фм на английском |
