Chapter 108: The Hole in the Sole
"The problems of the revolutionary party are similar to ours, they have ideas, ideas and aspirations. But he didn't have a gun of his own. In the past few years, they have all relied on the old warlords to help them realize their political ideals, and this battle with Chen has made them deeply understand the importance of guns, and they must have an army of their own. Mr. Sun is a very enlightened person, and he put forward a major premise, as long as China can be completely reunified, there is nothing to talk about. Qingtong said happily.
"Which party do you prefer to work with?" Li Da asked.
"I prefer to cooperate with the Guangdong side, although our ideologies are different and the classes we represent are different, there is still a lot of overlap in the content of our ideas. If we can work together and use our ideas to refine theirs, it will definitely make a difference. However, the Soviet Union still attached more importance to cooperation with Wu Peifu, and Guangdong was too far away after all. After the Russo-Japanese War, the Soviet Union had been very wary of Japan, and they also needed to find their allies in China. Wu Cao's direct line is a force they value very much, if we can directly find a breakthrough from the upper echelons of Beiyang, our great cause will advance more quickly. ”
"Hey, I'm not very optimistic about Wu Peifu, too feudal and ignorant, there is no ism, there is only business in my head." Li Da complained.
"My brother, I remind you that you must maintain a high degree of ideological unity with the Comintern. Don't let the difference in class position affect the progress of the overall situation. Qingtong said solemnly, "Tomorrow I will meet the representatives of the Comintern with you, and then we will visit Wu again in the afternoon." ”
"By the way, Wu told me that we must stop the movement in Hankou immediately, otherwise our cooperation will not be carried out this time!" Li Da said.
Qingtong took a deep breath, "If this matter is usually decided by the two of us, but this time the representative of the Soviet Union came to China in person, he is our leader, we should exchange opinions with him first." In this way, let's contact Mao in a moment and ask him to postpone the enlargement meeting and wait for our further instructions. ”
Li Da was a little embarrassed, "Qingtong, I'm afraid this is not appropriate, this time the workers' movement on the Kawaguchi Railway is huge, if you let it be postponed now, I am afraid that it will dampen the enthusiasm of the workers, which will make Mao embarrassed." ”
Qingtong was a little angry, he slapped the table, "Comrade Li Da, why don't you have a sense of the overall situation now." Beijing's side is the overall situation, and the Hankou side must obey the arrangement of the whole situation, Mao is a smart young man, he will coordinate and deal with this problem, don't worry. ”
Li Da pursed his lips, "Okay, I'll send someone to contact him now." ”
On the Hankou side, Mao and Lu Shu worked hard all night, visited the homes of more than a dozen workers except Wang Fubao, they unified their thinking, under Mao's extremely encouraging speech, everyone was full of confidence, and they all took active action, they communicated Mao's ideas to the workers, and the workers were very supportive of Mao's demands and propositions. Before the start of the first enlarged meeting, the workers made it clear why they wanted to hold this meeting. How to make this conference a success? What is the ultimate purpose of this conference?
At eight o'clock in the morning, Duomao and Lu Shu returned to the residence, and Lu Shu made a basin of hot foot washing water for Mao.
"Hey, Brother Lu, how can I let you serve me?" Representative Mao was a little embarrassed.
"Yes, what you just said is so good, the workers are all driven by you. Many workers told me that you are like a teaching student, but I didn't expect the words to be so simple and down-to-earth, so that all of them who can't read big characters can understand it. ”
Mao's feet were rubbed several times, and he put his feet in the hot water and exhaled softly. "Comfortable, really comfortable. This night, we had a very fulfilling night, and the results were also remarkable. I am confident that this enlarged meeting will be a success. ”
Lu Shu nodded, he picked up Mao's shoes and saw two holes in the soles, "Representative Mao, you can't wear this shoe, I'll throw it away for you." I'll get you another pair of my cloth shoes to wear. ”
Representative Mao waved his hand again and again, "Don't throw it, don't throw it, I'll be able to wear it if I make up for it, this is what my family made for me." ”
Lu Shuzhang smiled and said, "Representative Mao is already married?" Is sister-in-law pretty? ”
Mao smiled shyly, "She looks very dignified." ”
"Do you have children?"
Mao nodded, "The eldest is a year old, and the second child is about to be born when I leave, I really miss how many of them are!" Mao turned out the cigarette case on his body, which was already empty, "I have just finished distributing this cigarette to the workers, do you have any cigarettes?" ”
Lu Shu shook his head, "I don't smoke. ”
"I've got it here!" Wu Fen walked in from the door, and he took out a box of Lu Yunbao from his pocket and handed it to Mao.
"Oh, that's such a good cigarette. Chairman Wu let you break the bank. Mao opened the cigarette and handed it to Wu Fen.
"His cigarettes were all offered to him by his co-workers!" Lu Shu said teasingly.
Wu Fen's face was a little unbearable, and he yelled at Lu Zhang, "Don't talk nonsense, you kid." ”
Mao smiled, "Haha, why didn't Chairman Wu go to the worker's house with us yesterday." ”
Wu Fen didn't answer Mao's words, he took out a piece of paper from his pocket and handed it to Mao, "This is Mr. Li Da's latest instruction, let's postpone the expansion of the meeting." ”
"What?" Mao was shocked, he took the paper and glanced at it, "What kind of instruction is this, the workers have all started, and the arrows are ready to fly, let me push back now, it's impossible!" Hairy angrily slapped the paper on the bed.
The postponement of the meeting is good news for Wu Fen, so that Zhang Damin will have a buffer time. "Representative Mao, since there is a reason for the postponement from above, we should still obey Mr. Li's instructions!"
Lu Shu said angrily, "We have worked so hard to prepare here, seeing that everything is ready, we will stop when he comes over, how can there be such a reason." Representative Mao, let's do it according to the previous plan, and we can't delay striking while the iron is hot. ”
Mao took a deep puff of cigarette, "I'm a little tired, can you let me sleep for an hour." As he spoke, he dried his feet and lay down on the bed, and after a while the snoring got up.
Lu Shuzhang took his coat and draped it on Representative Mao's body, "Let him rest for a while, he is also tired this night." ”
"How many of your co-workers ran to yesterday?" Wu Fen asked.
"A dozen activists have run away!"
"All gone? How do you do that? Wu Fen asked in surprise.
Lu Shuzhang picked up Representative Mao's cloth shoes, pointed to the hole in the soles and said, "That's how I did." ”
