Witte had not yet rested on his return from the Hermitage when Romanloff arrived. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 Info: Led by Leongi, Romanov came to Werther's study. "I've worked hard for you this time, where is Ulyanov now?" After Leongi went out, Witt said.

"According to the information that came back yesterday, we have now arrived in Vladivostok, and we are ready to take a boat from there today to Tokyo first, and then from Tokyo to Shanghai." Romanloff replied.

Witt said with relief: "This time our operation is perfect, but you still need to continue to act, the first thing is to seize this opportunity to reorganize the entire intelligence bureau." After a year of development, the 'Red Group' is now of great use, and we will gradually turn the Intelligence Bureau into our Intelligence Bureau. In addition, the reorganization of the Intelligence Bureau will include the establishment of the Department of Foreign Intelligence, which will be under the jurisdiction of the European Division, the Middle East Division, the Americas Division, and the Far East Division. The purpose of my trip to Qing this time is to understand the specific situation in the Far East, which is also a region that we must focus on in the future. ”

"I see." Romanov said, "This time I came over, and Comrade Chatinov asked me to ask you about the convening of the party's founding congress that you had sent back earlier, and how to proceed. ”

After thinking about it carefully, Witte said: "This matter involves a lot, and after discussing with Mr. Plekhanov, I decided to hold a meeting between June and August next year. ”

"Qingguo? Why where? Romanloff asked.

"First, from the perspective of the safety of the participants, Qingguo is undoubtedly a safe country, and the government and people there have a natural reverence for us; Second, holding a conference in the Qing Dynasty would completely avoid the watchers, and the European countries were very guarded against us Marxists, and if we were not careful, we might leak and be exposed. Witt said wittily,

"Third, Ulyanov and I will both be in Qingguo, in addition to Mr. Plekhanov, Ms. Luxemburg, Dzerzhinsky and others will go to Qingguo with me this time, and Mr. Bebel and Ms. Zetkin of the German Social Democratic Labor Party will also go at the same time."

After hearing this, Romanov said: "I know, I will report this situation to Comrade Chatinov." ”

Witt nodded and said: "This matter has been decided, you have to cooperate with Comrade Chatinov to send the members attending the meeting to Qingguo safely, and the meeting place is in Shanghai, Qingguo." I think it's going to be a perfect ride. Romanloff answered, and the two said something else, and Romanov departed.

Witte remained in Petersburg until 1 November, during which month Witte published the pamphlet "The Road of the Russian Socialist Revolution" under the pseudonym "Chow", and at the same time, under Werther's arrangement, Chadinov, as vice-president of the Petersburg Marxist Association, held a meeting with Marxist groups from all over Russia, at which the venue of the first meeting of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation was finally officially determined - Qing Guo Shanghai and the time - July 14, 1897.

The train continued to speed on the railroad and finally stopped at Marseille, and Witte did not travel to the Qing country via Siberia because by the time he reached Vladivostok, the port there was probably in a frozen period, so he had to take a ship through Europe to the Qing country. Here in Marseille, Witte will sail with Plekhanov, Luxemburg, Dzerzhinsky, Bebel, Zetkin and others to the Qing Kingdom in the Far East. The place where Witte and others embarked was the new port of Marseille in La Joliette, while the old port of Marseille was gradually reduced to a dock for small ships and pleasure boats. On December 6, Witte boarded the ship "Oriental Star" in front of the Qing Kingdom, a country that haunted him as soon as he came to this world.

From the Mediterranean Sea to the Indian Ocean via the Suez Canal, and then from the Strait of Malacca into the South China Sea. At the moment of entering the South China Sea, Witte really wanted to shout in the direction of China: "Motherland, I'm back!" "It's just that at the moment he's a white-skinned Westerner.

"Vasya, why do you feel more depressed the closer you get to the Qing Kingdom?" Bebel asked, looking at Werther looking at the sea from the side of the ship.

Witt came back to his senses and looked at Bebel and said, "Sir, do you know how powerful and rich the country we are going to be? ”

"I know a little bit about this. The Qing Kingdom was indeed a very great country, and many great people were born here, but it is a pity that it has been out of the times after modern industrialization. Now they are arrogant and uncivilized, and men with pigtails like pigtails are no longer members of the civilized world. Bebel replied.

Witt sighed and said, "Sir, there used to be a very beautiful name in the Qing Kingdom called 'Huaxia', and they said, 'There is great etiquette, so it is called Xia; There is the beauty of uniforms, which is called Hua. It's just a pity that two hundred years ago a group of foreign barbarians took possession of this rich land, and then they forced the people to become slaves in order to better rule the land. Those barbarians were the Manchurians, the rulers of the Qing Dynasty. ”

"Vasya, we have also experienced what happened to them, a band of barbarians wiped out the great Roman Empire, and then the whole of Europe entered the dark Middle Ages. It's just a pity that they are now lagging behind, their civilization has been destroyed, their dignity has been destroyed by ships, and now it is a paradise for adventurers, and the rulers of that group of barbarians have chosen to compromise. Zetkin said from the side.

Witt soothed his mood and said, "I believe that although a country with a long history will be ruled by barbarians for a short time, they will eventually rise again. As Napoleon once said that this kingdom is 'a sleeping lion', then I believe that when he revives, the whole world will also be at war. ”

After Witte finished speaking, he looked at the land looming in the distance, he knew that it was the direction of China, and he shouted in his heart: "Mother of the motherland, although I have crossed over to become a foreigner, I will not give up making you strong!" China - You will always be my mother, my home! ”

After another day at sea, with the sound of a whistle, Witte and his wife finally arrived at their destination, Shanghai. Shanghai Shiliupu Wharf, the area where Shiliupu Wharf is located is located outside the large and small east gates of Shanghai County, west to Chenghao, east to Huangpu River, north to Xiaodongmen Street and French Concession, south to Wanyu Wharf Street and Wangjia Wharf Street in the vast area.

Before the first ** war, the sixteen pharf has formed the hub of the north and south coastal shipping, from here to the south to Lujiabang, there are thousands of sand boats, "the sails are like weaving, the boats cover the river, loading and unloading, day and night", according to the estimates of foreigners, the total capital of the sand ship industry reached 7.5 million pounds. In 1843, according to the Qing Dynasty and the British "Jiangning Treaty", after the opening of Shanghai to trade, Shiliupu Wharf has maintained the status of an important shipping center, with many wharves and a huge passenger flow.

Witte got down from the cruise ship and came to the wharf, looking up, on the wharf one by one, wearing short shirts, with braids wrapped around their heads, were carrying the goods, in addition to these strong people holding leather whips, stepping on a cargo bag, and kept shouting in official dialect with a slight Anhui accent: "Xiao Jiao, Nong give Lao Tzu a hurry." On the east side of the wharf are Western buildings that rise from the ground, and on the roofs of the buildings are flags of various colors—the English flag of the rice, the French tricolor, the American Stars and Stripes, and of course, the Russian double-headed eagle flag.

"Vasya, everyone is ready, where are we going next?" Luxembourg asked with a smile.

Witt looked at the exit of the dock not far away and said: "Ulyanov will come to pick us up, in addition to the consulate in Shanghai, you will follow Ulyanov first, I have to go with the consulate, I will come to you after you settle down." ”

Luxembourg said, "I see." ”

While talking to Witte in Luxembourg, a strange Chinese voice came from the distance: "shit! You damn bastard, you got such filthy stuff on me, I'll beat you to death! As he spoke, the man picked up the stick of civilization in his hand and swung it down, constantly swatting at the man.

Naturally, the movement here attracted the attention of Werther, who saw the man on the ground begging for mercy, and an inexplicable anger arose in his heart, it was still a child—he looked only fifteen or sixteen years old, thin, malnourished, and with a large bag beside him. And the person who beat the person was not a Westerner, with a braid on the back of his head, a top hat on his head, and a suit that also fitted well, and then a closer look at the sleeve of the suit had a cloud of oil, which was obviously accidentally stained by the package carried by the child.

Just as Werther was about to pass, a man who looked like an overseer came over and said flatteringly: "Uncle, uncle, the villain Huang Mazi is the foreman in this area." After speaking, he stepped on the child's stomach and scolded: "You don't have long eyes, let you not have long eyes, let you not have long eyes!" As he spoke, he kept stepping on the child.

The pigtailed man in a suit who thought he was a civilized person also stepped on the child's stomach and said, "Little deflated three! Then he said to the overseer-looking man: "Huang Mazi, my clothes are made in France, see what to do!" ”

"Uncle, today's incident is all caused by this short-eyed little deflated San, I hope you don't pursue it in front of Boss Yu. After today, the villain will come to the door with a generous gift to make amends! Huang Mazi said.

As soon as the man heard the name of "Boss Yu", he immediately replied: "Since this is the case, then I will wait in the house." After saying that, he didn't forget to step on the kid again before leaving.

All the onlookers thought that was the end of the matter. "Damn, you little deflated three, do your best to make trouble for Lao Tzu. Ma Qi, give Lao Tzu this little deflated three to the stake, starve him for three days! Huang Mazi said to a person behind him.

Just when Ma Qi and the other person were about to take the child away, a voice came: "Stop for Lao Tzu!" ”
