"Editor-in-chief, I've found the final destination of this grain, and you never know where it's gone" Zoe and Jimmy hid among tens of thousands of containers, contacting the editor-in-chief of The New York Times by satellite phone.
At the moment they are standing on the territory of the USSR, surrounded by Russians.
Zoe and Jimmy are now both excited and scared, excited that they have smashed into a grand conspiracy, and scared that they are trapped in a Soviet port at the moment, not knowing how to get out.
"Don't sell it, Zoe tell me where the food is going, if it's some area that is at war, I can't really guess Zoe," the editor-in-chief on the other end of the phone was anxious to find out.
"I'm in the USSR now, but I don't know exactly where I am in the USSR.
But I'm sure this should be near the Black Sea," Zoe said no more, and she excitedly announced the answer, not at all worried about being in the enemy camp.
"God, I can't believe it, how could it be the Soviet Union, I thought it was somewhere in China, hell, you guys immediately find a way to get out of there, the sooner the better, I'll give you the best place on the front page" "Thank you, editor-in-chief, but I don't know how I can get out of here now, there are Soviets everywhere, and we're worried that we'll be caught as spies by the people here," Zoe remembered that she and Jimmy were in danger.
She began to ask the editor-in-chief for help.
"Stay there, and I'll contact the Turkish ships to meet you.
Don't mess around.
Don't try to call the locals for help.
Listen, although the dock is the territory of the Soviet Union, he allows seafarers from all countries to move freely here, as long as you don't enter the customs, you are safe, there should be a place to live, you settle down first, don't leak your identity, wait for my news" The editor-in-chief immediately came up with a set of countermeasures, he knew very well that as long as Zoe did not enter the customs territory of the Soviet Union, he would not be arrested as a spy.
Customs borders and national borders are two completely different concepts.
For countries with ports, most of the foreign ports are free, and seafarers from all over the world can live and stay here.
It's the same as an international airport, as long as you don't go through customs, you don't enter the country.
After Zoe and Jimmy spoke on the phone with the editor-in-chief, they finally calmed down.
They put away their cameras and other items, which contained pictures of food being unloaded from the cargo ship, which were important pieces of evidence that Jimmy and Zoe were desperate to protect.
The editor-in-chief is right, there is indeed a place for seafarers to stay.
In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, Jimmy came forward to book a double room in Turkish at the seafarer's house.
Then they had a good meal in the dining room and immediately went back to their rooms.
As soon as they entered their room, the frightened hearts of the two finally calmed down a little.
The room was furnished in a very different way from the hotel where Zoe had stayed in the United States.
A portrait of General Secretary Gorbachev hangs on the wall, while a bust of Lenin is placed on the desk.
None of these things are rare in the United States, and Zoe is novelty about them.
"Come and see, what kind of good thing vodka is this" Zoe excitedly pulled out a bottle of vodka from the wine cabinet under the TV and hugged it in her arms excitedly.
Over the years, Zoe has traveled all over the world for her career, living a life without a fixed home, and alcohol is her medicine to release stress and relieve fatigue.
Zoe drinks as much as a man can match her now.
"Hey Zoe, don't get carried away, we're in the Soviet Union now, be careful that you get drunk and the KGB finds out and takes you away" Jimmy persuaded him, but he unconsciously came over.
Zoe took out two cups, poured two full glasses, and then handed them to Jimmy, and said excitedly, "I propose, for our Pulitzer Prize, this one is done."
The thought of the Pulitzer Prize made the two even more excited, and soon they were again candid, stimulated by alcohol.
Although they are in enemy land, Jimmy and Zoe are quite excited.
The two of them ended the battle soundly and fell asleep, and slept until noon the next day.
Over the next few days, Zoe began to work on a follow-up to her column.
The food aid case involved a wide range of interests, from the U.S.
Department of Agriculture, the National Association of Farmers and the Fratandem Africa Foundation, to the long sea transportation routes, and finally to the Italian and Turkish mafia.
Then these life-saving food for the people of East Africa were miraculously delivered to the Soviet Union.
Zoe's essay is coherent and engaging, but the most important thing is that Zoe's essay is never mixed with personal feelings, she just calmly and objectively states the ins and outs of the whole thing.
Living at home these days allowed Zoe to devote herself to writing, and Zoe repeatedly edited several of her articles.
She felt like she had never been in such shape.
In addition to being in charge of rolling the sheets with Zoe in the past few days, Jimmy has also added a lot of material about the Turkish mafia to her.
When you're focused on one thing, time always flies.
A week later, the ship they contacted by the editor-in-chief of the New York Times finally found Zoe where they had landed, the port city of Odessa, in the Soviet Socialist Republic.
When Zoe and Jimmy were notified, they packed their things and headed to the docks, leaving the dangerous place on a cargo ship that had come to pick them up.
They're lucky they haven't had any trouble these days.
Three days later, the ship finally returned to Istanbul.

Jimmy and Zoe are temporarily separated, Jimmy has to go back to the Associated Press to deal with some work matters, and Zoe sends her manuscript to The New York Times along with the photos she has gathered.
Zoe then flew to the United States on a business jet booked specifically for her by the New York Times.
On the way to the United States, Zoe still has a good idea of how much of a wave it will make after the report.
But he still wanted to see for himself the power of his words.
Although Zoe was prepared, he still underestimated the seriousness of this matter, she would never have thought how much this matter would make waves in the political and business circles of the United States, and Zoe never thought that she would cause a monstrous disaster. t1706231537:
