The adjutant walked out of the hall and saw Li Da standing alone in the courtyard, the adjutant's face was a little disdainful, and he put his coat on Li Da.

Li Da looked at the coat on his body and whispered, "Thank you." ”

The adjutant took out a letter from his pocket and handed it to Li Da, "The representative of the Soviet Union will arrive tomorrow, this is the cooperation condition proposed by our side, I hope you will hand it over to him personally." ”

Li Da nodded, the adjutant turned to leave, and after walking a few steps, he turned back to Li Da and said, "China's affairs cannot be solved by a few of you teachers and a bunch of workers and students. Our handsome man looks up to you, call you sir, don't treat yourself too much. ”

Li Da didn't look back, but this sentence was like a knife piercing his heart.

The adjutant returned to the hall and saw Wu Dashuai looking at the hot pot in a daze, so he asked, "Dashuai, what's wrong with you?" ”

"It's okay, I'm thinking about what Li Da just said. It is not a specific person who leads this country, he is the embodiment of millions of ordinary people. Do you think he has a point? ”

The adjutant shook his head, "Dashuai, what he said as a pedantic teacher is pure nonsense, Dashuai doesn't need to take it to heart." In today's China, whoever has a gun in his hand is the master. ”

Wu nodded, "Has my first division been assembled?" ”

"The commander gave the order, and the soldiers of the 1st Division stationed near Gyeonggi quickly assembled, and it is estimated that they will all be able to return to the camp at night." The adjutant replied proudly.

"The premise of talking about conditions is strength, and tomorrow I will show the representatives of the USSR what a real army is!" Wu drank the rest of the wine in front of him.

After Li Da left the mansion, he called a rickshaw, and the streets of Beijing were deserted along the way, with only a few vendors who did not expect heavy snow to fall, and were anxiously cleaning up their stalls. In the center of the road passed a troop wearing a five-colored cockade, and they walked in a neat pace. There was a peddler pushing a cart past the center of the road, and when he saw the troops, he immediately panicked, and his hands did not support the handlebars, and the goods were scattered all over the ground. The team did not stop as they bypassed the vendor's car and continued to trot. The last few soldiers in the line spontaneously stayed behind to help the vendors pick up the goods and put them on the carts. After that, the soldiers sped up and caught up with the group in front of them.

"Oh, this must be Wu Xiucai's army, and it is really not the elite of the direct elite." The coachman exclaimed.

"Why are you so sure of Wu's army?" Li Da asked suspiciously.

"Does that need to be said? Marshal Wu governed the army strictly, and the soldiers had read the Four Books and the Five Classics, taking benevolence, righteousness, courtesy, wisdom and faith as the military creed, and never bullied the poor like other warlords. ”

"Oh." Li Da responded.

After arriving at the school, Li Da paid the money, and the rickshaw driver asked enthusiastically, "Sir, don't you need me to send you to school?" ”

Li Da shook his head, "I want to go by myself." ”

The snow-covered campus is full of romantic and psychedelic atmosphere, but there is no poetic stimulation in Li Da's mind. At this time, he missed Chen Qingtong who was still in Shanghai. When they were teaching together in Beijing, whenever it snowed, the two of them would meet to step on the main road of the school. Kyung-tong especially likes the sound of his feet stepping on the snow, which he feels is the most beautiful movement in the world. Both of them were in their twenties at the time, giving directions, exchanging ideas, and most of all talking about what should China do in the future? Now, almost ten years later, I thought that the workers' movement and the student movement were in full swing, and that victory was imminent. Today's meeting in the Wu Mansion hit Li Da's confidence to the bottom.

Pushing open the door of the faculty dormitory, a wave of heat rushed to the face, dispelling the chill experienced outside the house.

"Li Da, you're back." Inside the room turned out to be Qingtong, who was drinking alone with a pot of white wine and a plate of peanuts on the table.

Li Da's heart warmed, and he flew to Qingtong's side and held his hand tightly. "Dude, I miss you so much."

"I miss you too, I originally made an appointment to eat shabu mutton today, but I didn't know until I arrived that you went to visit Wu Dashuai, so I drank it here alone." Qingtong took out a cup and poured a cup for Li Daya, "How did you talk to Wu?" I've heard that tomorrow the delegates of the Comintern will arrive, how are you doing at this front? ”

Li Da sighed and recounted all the encounters in the Wu Mansion just now to Chen Qingtong.

Chen Qingtong listened carefully, usually he couldn't bear to be ready to interject at any time, but today he seemed very calm, and kept throwing peanuts into his mouth and chewing them heavily.

"Qingtong, what do they want to do? They didn't talk to me in advance about such a big thing, we are their front-line organization in China, and they even bypassed us and directly contacted Wu Peifu, is it tolerable? Li Da grumbled.

Chen Qingtong nodded, he put his hand on Li Da's shoulder and persuaded, "Brother, we are just a branch of the Comintern in China, and we are soft-spoken. ”

Li Da didn't expect Chen Qingtong to be a little angry with this attitude, "How can you say that?" Since the May Fourth Movement, we have launched many campaigns with outstanding achievements, dealt a great blow to the arrogance of warlords and foreign forces, and spread new culture and new ideas throughout China. ”

"They value the military, and we value the mind. However, at present, China's problems must be equal to ideological and military attention. As long as the talks are good this time, we will have a new force at hand, and we will be able to realize our ideas and ideas. Looking at the overall situation, the Soviet side is looking for guns for those of us who are engaged in ideological struggle, and this is a good thing! ”

Li Da shook his head, "Good thing? Let's cooperate with Wu, a backward warlord, this is like riding a tiger alone, we will not be like a tiger, we will only be difficult to ride a tiger. ”

"I have also taken into account your scruples, so the Soviet side has taken a two-pronged approach this time, they have asked you to talk to Wu Peifu, and they have also asked me to talk to Mr. Sun in Guangdong. As long as they receive assistance from the Soviet side, they will control the money bags in our hands, and they must cooperate with us and listen to us. Do you understand? ”

Qingtong's words made Li Damao pause, "That's the truth, hey, I was a little emotional just now." You are in charge of contacting the Guangdong side, what is the attitude of the revolutionary party? ”
