"To eliminate troubles and make China's power respectable; to curse the traitors within the country, and to make the way of a gentleman long."
Agents in film and television dramas often give people the impression of arrogance, athleticism and omnipotence, and their unique charm has attracted underage boys to follow suit. However, the real-life agent is far less beautiful than in the film and television works, need to hide their true identity, but also need to risk passing on information for their own side, once exposed to the horse's feet and discovered by the enemy, they will only end up with no bones. It can be said that the careers of agents are ice exposed to the sun, and there is a risk of ending at any time. For example, the ace agent Abel: 30 years of spying in the sea, but was killed by an alcoholic.
Rudolf Abel was born into a family of revolutionaries in England. His father, Heinrich, was a staunch communist advocate who campaigned against Tsarist rule and, even when he was arrested and exiled, secretly provided arms and intelligence to the Bolshevik Party at home.
This touched the little Abel, and he joined the revolutionary army with his father. Inheriting the good genes of his parents, Abel is very good-looking and talkative, in addition, he is also proficient in various Chinese and can accurately translate other Chinese languages, which laid a good foundation for his future spy career.
However, the most useful of these skills for the Soviet espionage was his excellent radio communications skills. Since he had moved back to Russia with his parents, he did not know enough about the situation at home to find a living as an interpreter, and by chance, he was valued by the Comintern. Possessing multiple skills, he was soon assigned to intelligence work in various countries. Abel's career as a spy began.
Abel's first espionage job was in Germany. At that time, Germany and Poland were in a territorial struggle, and as a spy, he had to play an ordinary spy maintenance worker, spreading rumors among the two countries, stirring up relations, and catching imperial spies hidden in the Soviet Union. Although the comprehensive ability is very strong, Abel was not favored at the time.
In the eyes of senior predecessors, this family man raised in a greenhouse is not suitable for the life of licking blood from the knife edge. But they did not expect that Abel was really willing to lie dormant in the slum for four years and successfully obtained information from other countries. A stone stirred up a thousand waves, and Abel's story soon spread in the Soviet intelligence community. In the following years, Abel successively intervened in the whirlwind plan, unraveled the conspiracy of persuasion and peace, helped his country win the victory of World War II, and devoted himself to the great cause of developing the atomic bomb, which can be described as a remarkable feat.
At that time, everyone thought that Abel's glorious career would last until his death, and who knew that an alcoholic broke everyone's suspicions. At that time, Abel was on a mission to the United States, and was inadvertently grabbed by a woman: a microfilm hidden in a five-cent coin was brought home by her brother! Firm in her country's stance, she quickly handed over the discovery to her husband. But because there were too many people handling the coins, the U.S. police could not find out where the spies were for a while, and who knew that an alcoholic had betrayed Abel's tracks.
The drunkard's name is Haihanan, is the Assistant sent by the Soviet Military to Abel, said to be an assistant, in fact, is a drag oil bottle, the intelligence is not intended to be spent, not to say, but also often take funds to eat, drink and gamble, and finally under Abel's verification, it was exposed that he had no experience in being a secret agent, exposed his identity and was cornered, he had to defect to the United States, and betrayed his former comrades-in-arms.
In 1957, Abel was arrested and sentenced to 30 years in prison. A generation of ace agents, thus disappeared into the glorious history of Soviet espionage. Although Abel regretted his arrest, the Soviet Union never gave up on his rescue.
Finally, after 5 years of negotiations, Abel was able to return to his beloved homeland. When he returned to China, he was not young, but he still did not forget to engage in intelligence work and pass on his experience to his descendants. In 1971, he went to heaven in the memory and mourning of the Soviets. Although the brilliant life was interrupted by an alcoholic, Abel's legendary experience and his selfless spirit of patriotic dedication deserve our eternal memory and praise.
