"You Chinese, you have not achieved enough things, and you have more than enough failures." Vasi pulled a flask from his bosom and drank it.

"Comrade Vasily, don't be in a hurry, the matter has come to this point, we should think about it in the long term and think about what to do next." Chen Qingtong said.

"What to do? With Wu, we have completely stiffened. Now I can only pin my hope on Sun in Guangdong. I will soon leave Beijing and return to the Soviet Union to report on my work, and the two of you have unshirkable responsibility for the failure of this negotiation. I have serious doubts about the leadership and organizational competence of your branch. Vasily slammed the door and left.

Chen Qingtong looked at Vasily's departing back, took a deep breath, he couldn't help it, picked up the stool and smashed it on the ground, and scolded angrily, "Shame, shame." We're so close to victory, we're just one step away, we're one step away. ”

Li Da firmly grabbed Chen Qingtong's arm and forced him to control his emotions. Chen Qingtong reluctantly threw away the stool, lay on Li Da's bed and wailed, his heart was full of despair. Indeed, for a group of progressives with ideals, sometimes it is true that the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment.

Li Da's dormitory was on the sixth floor, Shi San already had a terrible headache, and when he climbed the stairs, he felt that his soul was about to come out of his mouth. He had no money on him, he didn't eat a bite on the train, he was hungry, sleepy and miserable. I really couldn't help it, so I squinted for a while, and as soon as I closed my eyes, I saw Wang Fubao, I saw Lu Shu, and I saw the countless souls who died in Hubei.

Vasily and Shi San met each other, Shi San saw that Vasily couldn't care so much, he said weakly, "Sir, can you help me, I really can't walk." ”

Vasily looked at the tall young man in front of him without a trace of pity in his heart, "Go your own way." ”

Shi San swallowed and foamed, and forcibly endured the pain and walked outside Li Da's dormitory. He didn't care about knocking on the door, pushed open the door and walked in. "Mr. Lee."

Li Da looked back and saw that it was Shi San, "Why did you come back?" Li Da ran to Shi San's side and looked at this frail young man.

"Shi San!" Chen Qingtong got up from the bed angrily, "You're embarrassed to come back." Let me ask you, how did the matter in Hankow go, didn't I send you a telegram? The march is suspended, are you blind? ”

Shi San was speechless, allowing Chen Qingtong to vent hysterically.

"Do you know what the consequences of this action of yours are? Our cooperation with Wu Xiucai in Beijing was completely lost. Chen Qingtong shouted.

Hearing this, Shi San'er's fire suddenly rose from his stomach to his throat, "What? You're actually negotiating with that bastard Wu, do you know how many of our worker brothers they killed? Do you know how their soldiers shoot our procession with guns? ”

"Shi San, calm down!" Li Da pressed Shi San onto the stool.

Chen Qingtong saw that Shi San was still unconvinced, pointed at his nose and scolded, "Do we need to ask you for advice on what we do?" All actions must be subject to the instructions of me and Mr. Li, and you are carrying your life, which is a very serious act. ”

Shi San took off his coat and threw it aside. "I admit that my failure to carry out your instructions was a grave mistake. I don't quibble about this, and I have nothing to say what kind of punishment the organization wants to give me. But isn't there a problem with what you're doing? We have been planning for Hankou for so long, how can we not send the arrows. Is it in line with objective laws that you pat us on the head in Beijing and ask us to stop? Both of them are teachers and know the truth of inertia. Bringing the workers' movement to a halt is like making a high-speed train brake suddenly. ”

"You!" Chen Qingtong pointed at Shi San's face and was speechless for a long time, "You get out of me, you get out of me, I'm going to expel you." ”

When Shi San heard Chen Qingtong's words, he stood up excitedly, he was a head taller than Chen, and looked down at Chen with burning eyes.

"What do you want to do? Want to hit me? Chen Qingtong slammed Shi San with his hand, and Shi San did not retreat.

Li Da saw that the situation was too serious, and he pulled Shi San out of the dormitory.

Chen Qingtong shouted at Shi San, "A person like you will never deserve to be a Red Party!" ”

Li Da pushed Shi San out of the dormitory, and Shi San sat on the ground.

"Shi San, stand up, it's cold on the ground!" Li Da said with concern.

"Mr. Li, that's not my heart cold!" Shi San pounded his chest hard.

The teachers who passed by looked at the big man's gaffe and cast strange glances.

Li Da handed Shi San a cigarette, and Shi San took a heavy puff.

"I know your job in Hankow is not easy."

"That's what I'm supposed to do. You have not seen the brothers in Hankow, and they are all good. They paid with their precious lives for the benefit of the laborers. However, this sacrifice cannot continue. We are sheep and they are wolves. The sheep stood in front of the wolf and shouted, "Why do you eat us?" Did it work? It didn't work at all. We must arm ourselves with weapons, and if they dare to fight us, we will fight with an iron fist. As he spoke, Shi San slammed his fist against the wall.

"You have a point. But have you ever thought that we are still very weak today? We must learn to survive in the cracks, and we must not push all the forces that can unite against us. Aren't you always reading military books? How did the Qin people unify the six countries, they did not declare war on the six eastern countries at the same time. They adopted a strategy of distant friendship and close attack, dividing the six countries and eating them one by one. ”

"I don't know about the situation here in Beijing, it's that I'm thinking about it too simply, and I review it with the organization. I am the first person in charge of Hankow, and if I sacrifice me in exchange for our cooperation with Wu Xiucai, I will never say anything. Shi San puffed up his chest and said solemnly.

Li Da shook Shi San's hand, "Shi San! You are a young man with a lot of potential, and I am sure that you will be able to achieve great things in the future. At the moment, we and Wu Xiucai have no possibility of repair. We must now organize the various organizations in Beijing to march again, tear down the mask of Wu Xiucai's hypocrisy, and expose all his actions in Hankow. I hope that you will use your pen to write down all your experiences in Hankow. We want the world to know what really happened in Hankow. ”

Shi San sat up from the ground, "Okay Mr. Li, I'll be right now... ”

Shi San's anger was a little too fierce, and he fainted to the ground in front of him.
