Captain Xu looked at his watch, it was already four o'clock in the morning, and he looked at the shadow of the hateful gray building hidden in the darkness, and couldn't help but let out a long breath.

The fatigue and fatigue of several days disappeared at once, and the arduous wait was finally coming to fruition, and as long as the fish were in the net, they were not afraid of flying away. As soon as the originally top-heavy rangers heard the target appear, they all immediately became energetic, and countless pairs of sleepy eyes all emitted an excited light like a hunting dog. The soldiers were very fast, Captain Xu threw away the cigarette butts and decisively gave the order to attack.

Soon, silencer-treated gunshots rang out.

The enemy found out that he had been ambushed, and it was too late to break out of the gray building and flee in all directions, so he stubbornly resisted and shot to resist. The rapid sound of gunfire was particularly crisp in the dark night, with bullets whizzing around, followed by the "sudden" strafing of machine guns, and the occasional loud shouts of wounded people could be heard in the darkness.

"They even have a 'flower trap'! Grandma's! Someone yelled.

Hearing that the other party actually had submachine guns and other weapons, Xu Shiyou's heart was a little anxious, but a stone finally fell to the ground.

The strong firepower of the other side indicates that there must be important people present.

“…… Damn it! Tell Deputy Li to seal off the wall on the west side and don't let a dog mongrel sneak into the residential area! Seeing that an enemy jumped down from the window to break through the siege regardless of life or death, Captain Xu commanded the herald in a loud voice.

Although the other party has strong firepower, Xu Shiyou is not afraid that he will not be able to eat the other party.

A ranger took the portable mortar, lay on the ground, he carefully calculated the distance and bearing, held the cannon barrel in one hand, put a shell into the cannon barrel with the other, only to hear a soft sound of "tom", a mortar shell came out of the chamber, fell directly into the square chimney on the roof of the gray building, followed by an explosion, in the firelight, broken bricks and tiles scattered and flew down. The chimney of the gray building disappeared, and a large hole was blown open in the roof.

The mortar gunner took another shell and put it into the barrel, he aimed it very accurately, so that the mortar shell fell directly into the room through the hole that had just been blown up, only to see a flash of fire, a loud bang, the window glass of the room on the top floor of the gray building was shattered by the air wave, and in the midst of the screams, two enemy agents with assault rifles flew out of the window with smoke in their hands, and fell heavily downstairs, making a sound as if their pockets hit the ground.

Some of them rushed out of the building in a desperate way, but they were soon met with heavy fire from the Ranger men, most of whom were knocked to the ground, and the few who were afraid of the situation retreated into the building. The Ranger began to attack the building.

After another ten minutes, as several grenade explosions sounded in the gray building, there were screams from inside, and there seemed to be the cries of women, and after a while, the enemy all stopped resisting. Deputy Li excitedly reported to Xu Shiyou that more than 20 Russian agents and party members had been killed, and three had been captured, and none of them had escaped the net.

The captain himself entered the building and interrogated the prisoners. When he saw two young women among the captives, he couldn't help but look up to the sky and roll his eyes.

The only man among the captives was a young man in a suit with curly hair, pale face and a serious wound in the abdomen, who had been bandaged and resuscitated. It is said that he kept chanting the name of a woman in Russian during his coma, and it was speculated that the person might be his Russian wife or lover. The interpreter leaned down to ask him a question, and said that the captain had promised to spare him for his life.

“…… You don't have to let me, translate, or speak to me," said the captive, with difficulty and in a staccato voice, and the captain could hear it very clearly, and he spoke a very pure northern official dialect, "I know what you want, what you get from me, and I will tell you all...... My revolutionary comrades-in-arms, he, they do not have a single race, they are all Chinese, and I am too. ……”

"Okay, you traitor!" One of the Ranger scolds indignantly.

“…… You're wrong, you're wrong, we don't like the Russians, but we're even more opposed to you warlords reading the axe! We oppose and defeat the Russians, it is your warlords who have destroyed China, why should we help you fight Soviet Russia? …… You participated in the imperialist war, and let China be a colony of the United States and be ruled by tyranny...... Isn't it the same thing to be sent to Europe and be cannon fodder? When did you warlords ever care about the lives of the common people? ……”

"Fuck you! Who the is a warlord? Captain Xu couldn't bear it anymore, and raised his hand to give Han Jian a slap, "Those red guys are doing nonsense in the city and countryside, taking advantage of the situation, making the workers unemployed, and the peasants' families ruined, why can't you see it?" ”

“…… What do you guys think...... We don't have it," a teardrop overflowed the young man's eyes, and he was obviously more agitated, gasping for breath, and there was a kind of retrospective excitement in his eyes, "in short, we will not want tyranny, nor will we want foreign domination...... We want to establish, our own, the Ming Cook regime......"

"Tell me about your Red Russian leader, or I will order you to be hanged!" The captain snarled almost against his face.

"You've got to say yes...... I...... One thing...... "The voices of young people are getting weaker and weaker.

"I promise not to put you to death." Xu Shiyou said with a blushing face.

"No, you promise to let ...... I die. ”

"You didn't lie to me?" The captain suspected that his ears had misheard.

"I said we didn't like the Russians...... "I beg you, keep them alive......

Xu Shiyou glanced at the two girls who were huddled and trembling under the muzzle of the gun, and nodded.

The reason why he dared to make such an assurance was that there was also an order from above that women and children, as long as they did not endanger the lives of the operatives, were not allowed to be killed and abused, but must be dealt with by the law.

After receiving an affirmative reply, the captive clearly stated the address and name of the Russian. Then the captain threw him a pistol with only one bullet in the chamber, and the captive lifted it with difficulty, and one last look at the two female companions shot him in the temple of his own.

A few days later, the Einsatzgruppen secretly kidnapped an "Italian professor" named "Gallieni" in another place, and after torture and interrogation, it was revealed that he was the actual leader of the Chinese Cloth Party, whose Russian name was "Adolf?" Abramovich? The more you fly". The man was then secretly sent to Yanjing.

The special team won a complete victory this time, and Xu Shiyou and "Boss Wang" were both commended by Yanjing Political Axe.

A few days later, in a prison in Yanjing, a young man in a solitary cell was writing in the dim light.

"The first time I came to Russia was at the end of September 1922, when I knew not a single Russian script, not a single acquaintance among Russians or foreigners, and I knew almost nothing about Russia. I came to Russia because of the fact that France, which I spent nine months, had experienced a world war and the ineffectiveness of the Treaty of Versailles, where there was a look of anemia and people lived an aimless life. And in Russia, both its critics and its adherents say it has a firm purpose. ”

"In order to get acquainted with the city of Moscow, I do not take a car, but on foot. I walked for hours on the cobblestone streets of Moscow. I saw a boy in a brown homespun blouse, crouching on the pavement with some sunflower seeds in a small paper bag worth three pounds between his feet. Some buyers came to him. The men put the sunflower seeds they bought in their coat pockets, and the women put the sunflower seeds in their pockets. ”

"Judging by the clothes the boy wears and the straw sandals he wears on his feet, I think he is a farmer. A moment later came a woman, also dressed in homespun clothes, with a headscarf around her head and a pair of old, slightly curved milk buckets on her shoulders. She called the boy to her, and they walked slowly toward the train station. For them, the day of 'capitalist speculation' is over. ”

"On the Kuznetsk bridge, on a gentle slope, next to the building of the National Bank, stood a number of women, each of whom was selling a white bra made of cotton with a large string of white bras hanging behind them. A woman with a slight redness under her face holds 5 pairs of gloves in one hand and 6 turbans in the other, indicating her willingness to betray. Not far away, a wrinkled old soldier set up a stall and traded matches and cigarettes. ”

"Several main streets in Moscow are crowded with people selling such things. This activity, which has been prohibited by law for five years, has attracted large numbers of people who are counting on the quick profits from this street business. Those who are apparently accustomed to a different way of life altogether stand on the corners of the streets, selling old books without hard book covers, in trolleys and strollers. On some sidewalks, there are people selling their loafers. A shoemaker nails a customer's rubber hind while the customer stands on the ground with one foot against the wall. ”

"Although it was the end of September and the weather was getting colder, it seemed that business in the open air was much more prosperous than in the shops. However, the shop is open every day. When I walked past these shops on time in the morning, I noticed when the shops were open. They first removed the planks from the windows (all the windows had been nailed to them since November 1918), and then looked through the cobwebbed glass to see behind the private owner a box of the finest perfume imported from abroad, two perfume bottles imported from Paris, some satin gloves and delicate porcelain figures. It seems that all these are old stocks and personal household goods, which give rise to the idea of excessive luxury. The following week, the same store displayed another window from its own wooden cabinet: a branch that sold beanies and fedors. The hats were apparently made at home by the owner's wife. ”

"In this way, capitalism gradually rose to the head in Soviet Russia."

"I stayed at the Savoy Hotel, which was very well equipped and well fed, the only hotel for foreign bourgeoisie. Every night I went to see either an opera, a ballet, or a play, and then, after some time, we were introduced by a comrade sent by Comrade Dzerzhinsky, and I met Comrade Lenin. ”

When the words "Comrade Lenin" were written, the young man hesitated slightly, but after thinking about it, he still did not make any changes.

"If I had not known in advance that Comrade Lenin was sick, I would not have suspected him in any case. Comrade Lenin looked full of vitality and very healthy. At first he sat across from us, then he moved his chair closer to me and began to speak with great seriousness. From time to time he smiled, and sometimes even laughed, and he laughed at two things in particular: one was the wisdom of the English in inventing the two-party system, whereby one party was able to rest while the other was toiling to do its work. ”

"Comrade Lenin said to us: 'You know, of course, that in Russia there is only one party, so we have to work to the point of exhaustion without replacement.'

The second thing that Comrade Lenin ridiculed was the policy of the Conservative and Liberal coalition axe: a coalition axe that frightened Britain with the idea that if the Labour Party were in power, there was a possibility of a revolution. Comrade Lenin laughed and asked: 'Would anyone believe that Hudson and his Labour Party could do this?' ”

"Edward is with us? Herio - He was the leader of the French Radical Socialists (in fact they were neither radicals nor socialists) who had come to Moscow to negotiate with the Soviet political axe. Hereo asked: 'Is it true that some people say that this is a major change in the foreign policy of Soviet Russia?' Comrade Lenin replied in the negative. He said: 'Any proximity to France is very much in line with our wishes. However, this proximity does not mean a change in our policy towards the UK. We believe that it is entirely possible and our aim to establish very friendly relations with these two Powers. We even believe that the peaceful and friendly relations between Britain and France, the two great powers, and Russia, contain one of the guarantees for the long-term peace and friendship between Britain and France, because I almost want to say that it is the most powerful guarantee. ’”

"Comrade Lenin, answering another question from Herrio, said that Russia played the role of a kind of bridge between England and France. As soon as the Greco-Turkish War (in which Britain supported Greece and Russia supported Turkey) ended, our differences with Britain would be relatively easily overcome. As is customary, the war is followed by a peace conference. France proposes that Russia be allowed to participate only in the second part of the conference on the settlement of the strait question. Helio asked: Is it a matter of prestige for Russia to participate in the conference with full rights? Comrade Lenin replied: 'I hope that our entire international policy over the past five years has amply proved that we do not mind anything about the question of prestige. I believe that the people of any major country will not be so indifferent to the so-called question of prestige, and will even laugh at it with the most pleasant delight. We believe that modern diplomacy is adopting this approach to the issue of prestige more and more rapidly. But Comrade Lenin expressed his dissatisfaction with the limitation of Russia's role at the conference. He said: 'We believe that such restrictions must cause many very practical and immediate inconveniences, including economic inconveniences, which France and England themselves will probably feel in the near future. ’”

"Then Comrade Lenin proclaimed the principles of the Soviet political axe's policy towards the straits: 'Our plan includes the prohibition of the passage of any warship through the straits in time of peace and wartime' and 'full freedom of navigation for merchant ships.' (This actually shows that when Russia is weak, it wants to close the straits to any warship; When it is strong, it wants to make the strait open to any warship. ）

"Helio asked: 'If the League of Nations admits Russia, Turkey, Germany, and the United States, will the Russian government agree that the League of Nations should oversee the strait?' Comrade Lenin replied: 'We are, of course, opposed to the League of Nations, and I think that not only our political and economic system and its peculiarities make us have a negative attitude towards the League of Nations, but also in the light of the peaceful interests of the specific conditions of modern international politics as a whole. The League of Nations bears all the characteristics of the world war in distinct terms, and is very closely associated with the Treaty of Versailles, without even the shadow of the actual establishment of national equality and the creation of a real possibility for the peaceful coexistence of peoples. ’”

Here Helio turned to a question that had made the British business anxious about the question of the 'concession', and he asked: "Does the refusal to ratify the concession agreement between Russia and the British Company represent a victory for the 'Left Communists'?" ”

"On October 5, Comrade Lenin and Comrade Pidakov spoke at a meeting of the Plenum of the Central Committee against the concession. The next day, Comrade Lenin reminded him of this again in a conversation with Comrade Pidakov. Comrade Lenin told him that the Central Committee had postponed a decision on this issue because of insufficient intelligence. Lenin asked Pidakov to check whether the concession was given to the agents of foreign companies for the monopoly of mining Siberian non-ferrous metals and how much money the Soviet political axe had to provide him with for their current expenses. It is clear from the words of Comrade Lenin that it is only the economic aspect of the problem that interests the political axe of the Central Committee of the Soviets. If there were any political considerations, they were only for the representatives of the local Siberian regime. ”
