In May in England, when flowers bloom, the convoy stopped at the foot of the tree-lined Hill Highgate and walked along a mountain path to Highgate Cemetery. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

No one spoke, and Snornick and Fekochinov carried a wreath made of flowers, which Lin Jun had specially asked Ambassador Mesky to prepare. A mountain road divides the cemetery into two places, and the large black arched iron gate in front of the cemetery is solemn and heavy, and several nameplates of different shapes are installed on the door, each of which seems to indicate that famous people from different periods are laid to rest here, and the nameplate of Marx's tomb is inlaid on the iron gate on the left.

Led by Mesky, enter the gate on the left and go 100 meters, turn left and walk for another hundred meters, on the right side of the road, there is a scene that is all too familiar to the proletarian revolutionaries of the world: a rectangular tombstone, the bronze head of Marx is placed on top of the tombstone, the cemetery is neat and solemn, and the smooth marble tombstone is engraved with Marx's famous words "Proletarians of the whole world unite!" "Still glittering golden in the sun.

There are a few bouquets of bright red roses under Marx's tombstone, which should have been put on only today. In a capitalist country, Marx's tomb can still remain solemn, solemn and tidy, not because of the British government, but because of the people who believe in communism, who express their reverence for the founder of scientific socialism with their own actions.

Lin Jun and his wife laid wreaths at Marx's tomb, and everyone lined up facing the tombstones.

After returning to the team, Lin Jun faced the huge bronze statue on the marble tombstone, "Salute to Comrade Karl Marx, the great revolutionary mentor of the proletariat and working people all over the world!" Salute all! ”

After the ceremony, Lin Jun found that there were still a group of people watching them on the way, and the people who came were also holding flowers in their hands. Lin Jun smiled at them in a friendly manner and motioned for them to come over.

The people who came were French communists, who had been waiting on the side for two minutes. Seeing a group of Soviet officers laying flowers at Marx's tomb, these people waited for a while. Moreover, in this solemn environment, they actually felt that these officers exuded a "sense of oppression", whether it was out of politeness or otherwise, they unconsciously waited on the side.

Since Lin Jun's attention had been in the cemetery just now, he didn't find anyone nearby, but his entourage had already discovered the people who were coming, and they had been "staring" at them, unconsciously making them feel a "sense of oppression".

During this time, the intelligence of the Ministry of Internal Affairs showed that there might be a hostile assassination team that would pose a threat to the high-ranking representatives of the Soviet delegation, and Lin Jun, as the "deputy envoy" of the delegation, was even more concerned by all sides: many people knew that this "deputy envoy" comrade was even more important than Orlov! Lin Jun's "bodyguards" will never allow unfamiliar people to approach him, although they can't be seen from the outside, they actually all carry guns with them, and if there is any accident, the "bodyguards" will not hesitate to shoot the threatener.

Lin Jun motioned for everyone to step aside and not disturb the new comrades who believed in communism to pay flowers to Marx's tomb.

"Comrade Mesky, I see that there are some places on the tombstone that have been rested, how is the maintenance situation here?"

"A lot of them are spontaneous rests from the revolutionaries who come here to spend flowers, and sometimes we come too."

"You go back and make arrangements, and transfer some of the embassy's funds every year as special repair expenses here. We are all communists, and we must keep Comrade Marx's resting place solemn. ”

"Yes, Comrade Andrei."

As for the "order" of this Comrade Andrei, Mesky will never be regarded as a "deaf ear". In fact, Lin Jun has no right to "order" Ambassador Mesky, because everyone does not belong to a "system" at all, but Lin Jun also knows that Mesky will definitely implement his "suggestions" to the letter. Also, Lin Jun still has some "opinions" about this Mesky: although he should be regarded as a good comrade, sometimes his "position" is not clear, and he has a too close relationship with the hardcore Churchill in history.

On the way back, Lin Jun saw some people walking towards Marx's tomb - the great man will not be forgotten, and his teachings and beliefs will inspire people to move forward as much as his resting place.

Lin Jun and Mesky, who returned to the Dorchester Hotel, received an urgent telegram from the embassy, and the content of the telegram was completely beyond their expectations: Orlov suddenly contracted severe diarrhea on the way to England, although his condition had been controlled, and the "Marat" was about to arrive in the United Kingdom, but judging from Orlov's physical condition, he was no longer able to attend the coronation of George VI as a "special envoy", and Orlov needed to be hospitalized for recuperation after arriving in England. To this end, the Central Executive Committee specially appointed Comrade Andrei as a "special envoy" to attend the coronation of King George VI as the plenipotentiary representative of the Soviet government and Stalin, and the "deputy envoy" was replaced by Ibos.

Lin Jun and Mesky sensed the trouble of things as soon as they saw the telegram: it was really troublesome, no matter who it was! Lin Jun was originally only arranged to "vacation" and "show off", but now he has no "leisure"; Mesky was even more troublesome, and he immediately had to submit to the British government the official documents of the change of the "special envoy" -- a bunch of troubles that he was busy with.

A division-level commander is also a major general in the army from other countries -- although Lin Jun also has the title of a member of the Military Committee of the People's Commissariat of Defense of the Soviet Union, in terms of official position, the "special envoys" sent to Britain by all other countries are higher than him. If you go to the coronation ceremony with such a "title", the "face" of the Soviet Union will really not be able to get by, and it will be too late to send people again! It is estimated that when he learned that Orlov was ill, Stalin had already "scolded the "unlucky and useless" Orlov in his heart!

Fortunately, there was a second telegram: the appointment of Comrade Andrei Nikolayevich Prenyakov as a member of the Central Executive Committee of the USSR (note: this is a temporary appointment, which is automatically canceled after the end of the visit. In this way, Lin Jun's status is different, and he can barely be "at the same level" as the prime minister or prime minister of other countries. And Ibos was also "promoted": he was appointed Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs of the USSR, of course, also a temporary "goods".

Lin Jun himself was not happy at all about his "promotion" of "catching ducks on the shelves" - although this was also a helpless solution, its "sequelae" was definitely not small. He could imagine that Stalin and the comrades of the Central Executive Committee must have done so without any other means, and that their faces must have been unpleasant when this decision was made.

"Comrade Andrey, I will rush back to the embassy immediately, and I will sort out these situations and report them to the British government as soon as possible." Meskey looked anxious.

"You go and get busy, leave a comrade from the embassy to be my coordinator. No one expected this, everyone was not mentally prepared at all, so they could only do their best. ”

The coordinator who remained at Lin Jun's side was the military attache of the embassy, Major Kirlov, who, of course, was also a member of the "Cheka". Before coming to Britain, Alexander had already told Lin Jun that Kirlov, the military attache at the embassy in London, had been personally trained by him and was "his own man".

Since he is "his own person", Lin Jun is not polite when he speaks.

"Your instructor Alexander mentioned you, and I'm not welcome. Don't talk nonsense, I don't know how to deal with this situation now, and it's up to you and other comrades to make arrangements. One more thing I can tell you is that, with the exception of me and my wife, all the comrades in this room are members of the "Cheka", and they are all on "my" side. Alexander said that you are also "your own person" and can be trusted. You can talk to other people about how to deal with the situation in front of you, and you can tell me what we're going to do next, I don't have any experience at all. ”

Lin Jun really didn't know what to do in the next few days, it turned out that although there was a "guide to the arrangement of activities", he didn't care at all about what the "envoy" was going to do, anyway, Ibos and Fekochinov were "worried", but now he couldn't care about it. As for the Kirlov in front of him, Alexander said that he was one of the better of his "subordinates", but few people knew that Kirlov was Alexander's "own man". Lin Jun picked out some things clearly, that is, he wanted to test him: Kirlov went to London to serve as a military attache for half a year, and Lin Jun wanted to arrange him here all the time, because the British side is also "very important"! Also, Lin Jun didn't trust that Mesky very much.

Kirlov was not a fool, and if he was "unreliable", he would not have been "recruited" by Alexander, and he immediately made his "position" clear to Lin Jun.

"Kirlov, tell us exactly what this envoy is going to do."

"Comrade Andrey, I won't talk about the general situation, I'll just talk about some details. Two days before the coronation, you will be asked to attend a reception hosted by the British government, followed by a ball, which is an invitation from the British government. And on the 12th, after the coronation at Westminster Abbey, there will be a royal banquet at noon, and the largest royal ball of the evening, which will be attended by the ambassadors and envoys of all countries to the United Kingdom, and these banquets and balls will be attended by you and Comrade Vukinskaya. On the 14th, we went to Spithead Bay to watch the Spithead Parade on the 15th, and the official part of the entire coronation ceremony ended after the parade, and the following itinerary was arranged by ourselves. ”

"I don't have any other requirements, only one thing you have to arrange for me: I will leave for Moscow on the 16th, or by plane, without any delay!"

"Yes, Comrade Andrey!" Kirlov knew that there must be something very important on the Moscow side that Comrade Andrei needed to go back and deal with.

"Also, Comrade Andrei, there is something that needs to be reported to you, please don't be angry after you hear it."

"Tell me, what's the matter?"

"Here's how it was: the British government divided all the guests attending the coronation of George VI into three classes, and the treatment of each reception varied, especially in the seating order of the coronation ceremony and the parade. The heads of state of each country are of the first class, the prime minister and the foreign minister are of the second class, and the others are of the third class. According to the information we received, Comrade Orlov was initially assigned to a second-class distinguished guest, but after our negotiations, he was confirmed to be a first-class distinguished guest. This time, you are acting as a special envoy in your capacity as a member of the Central Executive Committee, and according to them, it is very likely that you will be made a second-class guest, and now that we have very little time left, I cannot decide whether there will be any more negotiating situations. ”

"Don't worry, if this happens, I know what to do and I won't be angry with you. But here's the problem: if this problem arises and is not satisfactorily resolved, I think everyone in the embassy will go to the Siberian labor camps for "further study", and I can't stop that! ”

"! Let's see what bullshit you birdmen are crowning, you're kicking your nose in the face! I also divide people into three, six, nine and so on!! ”

Listening to Lin Jun's words, Kirlov's face changed slightly, but he immediately returned to his original state. He knew that the face of the Soviets could not be lost, and if such a situation arose, the Siberian labor camps would be the final destination for himself and the rest of the embassy. But then again, it's also an opportunity for yourself.

"Comrade Andrei, we will definitely not allow such a scenario. You can rest assured, I will definitely take care of it and will definitely not disgrace the Soviets. ”

Lin Jun admired his psychological quality very much, if it was replaced by someone else who was "scolded" by himself like this, it would be good if he didn't despair on the spot. "Then what are you still doing here, why don't you go to the embassy soon. Also, this matter is taken care of, and Alexander and I know it well. ”

"Yes, Comrade Andrey!"

After Kirlov left, there was silence in the living room: Lin Jun didn't speak, and no one else dared to say anything.

"Don't all be stuffy, you all talk about your opinions." Of course, he knew the "great lethality" of his words just now. Everyone also understood that if this situation occurred, Stalin would definitely directly stuff all the people in the embassy into hell, even if they were all shot - of course, provided that Lin Jun said "silence" after returning and did not make a "guarantee", the fate of all the people in the embassy depended on his will. Just now, Lin Jun "threatened" Kirlov's "Once this problem arises, I think everyone in the embassy will go to the labor camp in Siberia to "study", and I can't prevent this from happening!" "But it's a test of Kirlov and the embassy staff here.

But everyone still didn't speak, because everyone knew that Lin Jun was really angry. If it were Stalin in front of him, he would probably be the price of his own head if he spoke in the present situation and said something that did not suit the listener's wishes.

"Andre, you were really fierce just now." You can't say anything to no one, and Vuginskaya is also smart: she is the only one who can speak at this time.

"These Brits, they still think that they are still the original empire on which the sun never sets, and it is already the setting sun! Only those who are self-righteous still think that they still have the glory of hundreds of years ago. Especially those pedantic British royal families, they feel very good, and they still divide people into hierarchies! A bunch of poor parasites! I can be sure: in less than 10 years, these John Bulls will become vassals of other countries, and the glory of the sun will never return! ”
