Alexei has made a living by stealing since he was a child. He relied on his cleverness to make a living, but one day his good luck finally ran out. In 1936, sixteen-year-old Alexei was arrested by the NKVD police and sent to Moscow. In the mysterious building of the State Security Service of the NKVD, in addition to being tortured and dying in prison for the rest of his life, he also got another opportunity: to join the State Security Service, become a Soviet spy, receive special training, and break into Nazi Germany when the time came. After the training, the wife and only son of Hans Schulz, a senior official of the German Foreign Ministry, died in a car accident. The lonely Hans wrote to his nephew Friedrich in the Soviet Union, asking him to go to Germany to reunite with him. Alexei took the opportunity to take over the identity of a good friend and quickly integrated into Hans' life. Over the next seven years, Alexey continued to act as a relative of a high-ranking Nazi official, performing various secret missions. On the one hand, he had to report to the NKVD, and on the other hand, he had to avoid the surveillance of the Gestapo. In order to achieve this humble goal of living safely, he was always cautious, cautious in everything, and repeatedly avoided fatal traps. In 1943, Alexei was selected by the Gestapo to serve as the vanguard and make a last-ditch effort. He was arranged to sneak into Tehran, because Churchill, Roosevelt, and Stalin would attend a meeting there. Their mission was to kill Stalin and Churchill, kidnap Roosevelt to Germany, and threaten the United States to withdraw from the war. A spy at the right place and at the right moment can change the course of history...
