In fact, a year before the flames of the Russian Revolution burned, at about 11 o'clock in the evening of July 21, Petersburg time in the ninth year of the Republic, the last passenger train departed from the St. Petersburg seaside railway station. One of the passengers, dressed as a Finnish peasant, got off the bus at Lazref, not far from the Finnish border, where Lake Lazref sparkled. The Finnish farmer lives in a straw hut by the lake. The hut has a kitchen: two branches set up a piece of wood with a small pot hanging from it. In front of the straw hut, a clearing was cleared, and two tree stumps were placed, one for a table and the other for a stool. François humorously called it "my green office". Here he fights intensely. He carefully read every newspaper published in Petersburg, analyzed the revolutionary situation, and wrote battle letters that he sent to the cradle of the revolution and guided the course of the revolution. Late at night, the sound of wooden oars lapping against the water of the lake sounded, and the delegates of the Central Committee of the Peasants' and Workers' Party came to this green office to report on their work and listen to instructions.

The bonfire on the shores of Lake Razlev was exceptionally bright in the dark of night, but tonight he was receiving an unfamiliar guest. A young man dressed as a Tatar, under the personal "protection" of a Peasants' and Workers' Party commissioner, came to this office. When he took off the blindfold, the confident glint in the Tatar's eyes made François stunned as well. He felt that this man was not a professional spy. The other party's English was very good, and after the conversation began, the commissioner had already left their side ten meters, but the pistol in his hand was never safed

"What I can offer you, Monsieur François, is a set of plans that will be used to mobilize the workers and soldiers of Petersburg against the tyranny of the Provisional Government, as well as some necessary material preparations, such as sufficient funds for you and your organization to operate openly in Petersburg and weapons for the defense of you and other leaders. Of course, it's all paid, but you can think of it as a letter of credit. ”

"You're blunt, maybe because of your profession, oh, or maybe your previous career." François smiled, his glowing brain reflecting the moonlight, but his eyes flickering with the flames of a campfire. "I suppose your conditions must have something to do with some interests in the Far East."

"Your judgment is accurate." The visitor laughed too, and he changed his posture slightly, revealing two white teeth in his cracked lips. "What we need is the protection of some Russian aristocrats and capitalists, and of course a little bit that is still the property of the lovely little daddy, but above all a promise from you."

"Ha, your request is comprehensive, but it's an honest offer. I don't think you have anything in common with Mr. Akashi, who came to me on my previous visit, and you're not Japanese, are you? François asked, leaning forward a little, staring into the eyes of the visitor.

"You're right, you should know which side I'm representing, aren't you?"

"Of course, of course, my dear Chinese friends. At least I understand your English much easier than Mr. Akashi's Russian, and the deal you are talking about, oh, I mean your offer is not written. ”

"Yes, you will receive it after I can be sure of the sincerity of you and your organization. You can count on us because we need your commitment too, don't we? ”

"That's right, my Chinese friend." François poured a glass of boiling water for the young man, and poured a glass himself, and put it in his hand as if to warm his frozen fingers, for there was still a lot to do in the evening. "I think I can trust you if your offer is as good as your English."

The young man was silent for a moment: "You are confident. ”

"Of course, we are the only ones who can accept this offer, because we have nothing and we don't have to worry about losing. Because the workers lose only the chains, and they will get the whole world, you know. ”

"A very meaningful theory, and I have to say that I am more confident in the success of this transaction. Thank you for your hospitality, I do need a little hot water in this weather. ”

"You're welcome, my friend. We had a great conversation today, thank you for the good news. Please convey my best wishes to the leaders of your country. ”

"I wish you good health, Monsieur François." After drinking the boiling water, which was somewhat hot, the young man stood up, turned and left the campfire by the lake, and the commissioner followed

"I hope next time you can call me comrade." François spread out the day's papers, laid them on the wooden piers, and began to sketch them again.

A few days later, François, on the instructions of the Party Central Committee, disguised himself as a railway worker, evaded the surveillance of the reactionary authorities and arrived in Helsinki. In the dead of night, a room in Helsinki's Haganiea Square 1 was brightly lit, and in the dead of night, the rustle of paper and pen rubbed for a long time, François continued to finish his brilliant book "The State and the Revolution", but today he was dealing with a "quotation".

"One and a half million square kilometers of land, three hundred tons of gold, more than one thousand seven hundred various nobles and technical specialists." François smiled bitterly, these are all family inheritances accumulated by successive generations of tsars, but it is a pity that he is destined to be the guy who sells Ye Tian without pain. But looking at the other list, there were "1,500 Mocinagan rifles, 400 German Mauser pistols, 10,000 German long-handled grenades", and four 75 Krupp mountain guns. Enough to arm their own workers' guards to the teeth. A bank draft of 5 million francs, 7 million rubles in cash, and this whole set of plans for the uprising in Petersburg, although the names of the captains of several insurrectionary detachments were empty, but looking at the composition of these insurrectionary forces, François understood who should lead the troops, this was simply the best organizational plan, even if he considered it holistically, it was impossible to formulate a more reasonable plan. But what does it mean to monitor the actions of Kamenev and Dimitrov? It was also mentioned that they could deliberately leak the plans of the uprising in the event of an opposition to the armed struggle, what is going on? Do the Chinese not know the witchcraft of the prophet?

With a sullen breath, François opened the window, Helsinki's night market was so silent and cold. But at this time, the Russian people were already in dire straits. More than 10 million people were dragged into the army in Russia, and millions of people were killed and wounded. Many soldiers on the front line did not have shoes, and even several people shared a gun. Large tracts of the country's arable land were deserted, factories were closed, prices were skyrocketing, food was in desperate short supply, and the capital, Petersburg, could not buy even a loaf of bread one day. Russia's fragile economic foundation simply could not withstand the high-intensity world war of more than three years, and the economy was on the verge of collapse. At present, all kinds of social contradictions in Russia have become unprecedentedly intensified, including national contradictions, class contradictions, and so on. The Russian population simply fought for "bread". It was the time for the revolution to unfold its ambitions, and François, who now had the votes and the guns in his hands, felt that he had enough power to start opening the floodgates and release the flood that had almost overflowed the levees, so that the flood would break through the barriers of the old times and cleanse the upper classes of society with the filthy maggots, and the day when the workers and peasants would be masters of their own affairs should open the first page.

In fact, the most worrying thing about the Entente countries on the Western Front was whether Russia on the Eastern Front would collapse before Germany. Before the outbreak of the First World War, the rotten and reactionary Russian Tsarist autocracy was already in deep crisis, with a revolutionary upsurge in 1905. After the outbreak of the Great War, the contradictions in Russian society became increasingly acute, and the revolutionary situation matured rapidly.

In February 1917, the Russian people, under the leadership of the Peasants' and Workers' Party led by François, overthrew the Tsarist autocracy. The workers and soldiers of the uprising formed a congress of sapper deputies*. However, the naïve Peasants' and Workers' Party was not ready to seize state power, and the Russian bourgeoisie easily snatched the victorious fruits of the February Revolution from the Peasants' and Workers' Party and established a provisional government headed by Kerensky.

In this way, two regimes coexisted. The Provisional Government had lifted its veil of warmth and began to violently suppress the demonstrations of the common people, as the Tsar had done, and was preparing to establish a military dictatorship. In April, François returned to Russia from Helsinki after a long period of exile abroad, where he published the famous April Theses, which laid out a clear line and concrete plan for the transition from the bourgeois-democratic revolution to the socialist revolution, and clearly put forward the slogan "All power belongs to the Congress of Representatives". In accordance with the instructions of the April Theses, the Peasants' and Workers' Party carried out organisational and educational work among the masses, leading the Petersburg workers and soldiers in the April, June and July demonstrations.

At that time, the Peasants' and Workers' Party temporarily put aside the slogan "All power to the Congress" and put forward the policy of preparing for an armed uprising, as the Congress of Delegates under the control of the right-wing Workers' Party and the Socialist Party became an instrument of the Provisional Government, and the bourgeoisie openly used violence and was ready to establish a military dictatorship. In September-October, the congresses of Peasants' and Workers' Deputies in Petersburg and Moscow were transferred to the side of the Peasants' and Workers' Party; Workers' strikes, peasant uprisings, soldiers' commotions, the revolutionary situation is fully ripe. The Peasants' and Workers' Party once again raised the slogan "All power to the Congress" and began preparations for armed uprisings throughout the country.

In October 1917, Kamenev and Zinoviev published a statement in the non-party magazine Neue Life that they disapprove of the decision of the Party Central Committee on the armed uprising. Zaitsev stepped forward and led a detachment of workers' guards to surround the newspaper office of the newspaper "New Life", confiscated the office equipment of the newspaper in the name of slandering the Peasants' and Workers' Party, and finally burned the printing shop and the manuscript to the ground, and the police who arrived did nothing in front of the heavily armed workers' guards.

Zinoviev and Kamenev's actions caused them to be severely condemned by François, and François became more curious about the mysterious Chinese and his mysterious prophecy, but the myriad of work in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China made him powerless to track down the truth of the matter, until one day the mysterious Chinese appeared in his office again, this time in the real Kremlin office, and the identity of the other party surprised François.
