Twenty one sixteen hour’s local time.
The Russian secret weapons production facility (WPF) was located a mile down an asphalt road just of route P226, south of Chapayevsk; the entrance was through a security gate with armed guards.
As far as the outside world was concerned this was just another typical Soviet military base.
There were twenty outer buildings; however, the main production facility was underground.
The man in charge was a Russian scientist named Nikolay Demyanov, he was a short stocky man born in 1938 in Moscow.
He had a balding head with wispy hair on the sides, along with a pair of oval style glasses and he had been working at the WPF for the past ten years.
One of his colleagues knocked on his office door, Nikolay spoke in Russian, “enter”.
A man opened the door and walked into his office and said, “sir; everything is ready to go!”
Nikolay replied, “I will be with you in a few minutes, Alexey!”
Several minutes later a container was being loaded onto a truck under the watchful eye of Nikolay, a man approached him known to Nikolay as Ivan Balagula.
Balagula said, “Remember not a word or your family will suffer Nikolay!”
Nikolay replied, “I have done my job; you assured me my family would be safe?
Balagula replied, “Once I have this container on the plane, then you and your family are out of it.”
Nikolay replied. “Just be very careful with the contents, if the Red Mercury falls into the wrong hands the world will pay a heavy price!
Balagula gave him a smile and a cursory salute and then walked back to the truck.
Ten minutes later the truck was heading north east on route P226 destination Moscow.
