497 Pressure

Learwin looked at the door number, confirmed it, knocked on the door three times with a special technique, and after a few seconds, the closed door suddenly opened, and then Learvin looked left and right, and quickly flashed in.

"Why are you here?" Tatyana asked anxiously.

Learwin glanced at her, and no one would have expected that the elderly woman in front of her, who looked like a Russian aunt, was a spy for MI6. And it's definitely the deepest hidden kind of deep-sea spy! This aunt had infiltrated the Social Democratic Labour Party before the Bolsheviks and Mensheviks had separated.

In fact, even Li Erwen didn't expect his superiors to install this spy, because no matter how you look at it, this person has nothing to do with intelligence work, and it's almost the same to say that she is an old chef.

When Learvin was looking at Tatyana, Tatyana was also looking at Learvin, and she was quite vigilant about this new connector.

"There's something delayed on the way," there was a two-second silence, and Learvin explained lightly, "Did you figure it out?" ”

Tatyana looked at Learvin angrily, dissatisfied with the task assigned by the new liaison. The stakes are just too high! What, you think the Bolshevik Politburo is a bus, you can get on it if you want?

However, Tatyana answered Lierwin's question honestly: "Trotsky did not have the right to speak, and the Bolsheviks were still in charge of Lenin." ”

"Are you sure?"

"Pretty sure!" Tatyana replied without hesitation.

This answer came as a surprise to Learvin, who had thought that the Bolsheviks had changed dramatically. Otherwise, it is difficult to explain their previous movements. And now Tatyana is saying that it is as usual, this is completely abnormal!

Sitting in his chair, Learvine fell into deep thought. And Tatyana, who was sitting across from her, was getting more and more impatient. Five minutes later, she couldn't take it anymore and urged, "When are you leaving?" ”

Learwin looked up at her and asked, "You really want me to go?" ”

"Of course!" Tatyana said with some excitement, "Who doesn't want you to hurry up!" My husband could come back at any time, how do you ask me to explain to him who you are? I don't just want you to leave quickly, I hope you and your superiors never contact me again! Damn it. I don't want to be sent to a concentration camp by the Cheka! ”

Learwin was a little surprised, she had never seen a spy like Tatyana, and it sounded like she could defect at any time.

"I'm not going to betray anyone!" Tatyana grew more and more excited. She kept her voice as low as she could, "But I'm fed up with these fruitless days!" I've been lurking in this damn country for almost 30 years and I'm almost forgetting that I'm a British citizen and even married to a purebred polar bear. Let's just say that I've dedicated my life to the UK. And now. I'm tired of this endless game, especially in today's conditions, where I can only live the rest of my days in peace, you know? ”

Of course, Learvin understands, and he also pities what happened to Natalia, for most spies, the job is simply an ordeal. So a lot of spies went crazy, and a lot of spies defected. And she herself is somewhere in between.

"Let's hope we can do it forever!" With that, Learvin left Natalia's house quickly. Half an hour later, she was on the other side of the city. I've met up with another deep sea.

"Andrey. Petrovich is not in Moscow. The Deep Sea replied.

"And where is he?" Learwin asked.

Shen Hai smiled bitterly, and asked in a very impulsive tone: "Do you think I can know the whereabouts of Russia's biggest spy leader?" I can only tell you that a few days ago he left Moscow, probably to East Prussia, or to Poland......"

Learwin shook his head and said resolutely, "No! He is not in East Prussia and not in Poland! ”

"Then I don't know where he is!" Shen Hai said angrily, "Anyway, after the Politburo meeting a few days ago, he left Moscow in a hurry. ”

Learwin frowned, his reason told her that it was unusual, as the head of Russia's biggest secret service, and the mastermind of the troubles in East Prussia and Poland, his sudden disappearance definitely meant that something big was about to happen.

Learvine also knew that such a major event generally meant a new conspiracy, and a big conspiracy that shattered the earth. Learvine wondered what someone's plot was, but she had no clues.

"Have the Bolsheviks planned any major operations lately?" Learwin asked.

Shen Hai thought for a moment and replied, "As far as I know, there are no other changes except for the northward transfer of the main force of the Eastern Front. ”

Did someone go to the three Baltic states? Learvin speculated that it was clear that as the general political commissar of the Baltic Front, it was very normal for someone to go to the three Baltic countries to sabotage or exert pressure. However, the deep sea gave her an unusual answer: "Andrey. I don't know if Petrovich went to the three Baltic countries, I only know that there is gossip that Tsicherin went to Estonia. ”

Estonia? Chicherin?

Lierwin immediately thought of the purpose of Tsicherin's trip to Estonia, and this People's Commissar for Foreign Affairs personally went out to do nothing but put pressure on Estonia? But what makes Liervin curious is why did Titchherin put pressure on Estonia? Could it be that the Bolsheviks were ready to take Estonia without bloodshed?

That evening, in a telegram sent to M, Lierwin wrote: "Andrey. There must be a connection between Petrovich and Tsicherin. The focus should now be on ascertaining their movements, and if you can find out the real movements of any one of them, you can get a glimpse of the Bolshevik arrangement......"

M attached great importance to Liervin's construction, and soon mobilized Estonia's spy and network to investigate with all efforts, and soon after, a piece of news caught M's attention -- the Estonian foreign minister suddenly visited the border city of Narva.

How could a dignified foreign minister inspect a small border town for no reason? It's weird to look at. So upon learning of the news, she immediately ordered further investigation. Find out the real purpose of this foreign minister.

Soon, the real situation was fed back to M's desk, and the foreign ministers of Soviet Russia and Estonia had a secret meeting. Although it is not clear what was discussed, there is no doubt that the meeting was unusual and seemed to foreshadow a misfortune between the Estonian government and Soviet Russia.

"In addition to Chicherin, has you found Andrey. Petrovich? "M actually wants to know more about the whereabouts of a certain immortal, because the most dangerous person in Russia is that guy, and if he doesn't know someone's movements, M can't sleep peacefully.

"AndrΓ© was not found. Petrovich. He was not involved in this meeting! ”

M sighed, because he didn't believe in the news at all, with someone's abilities. The average spy couldn't spot him, and his absence from the table didn't mean he wasn't in Navarre, much less that he wasn't involved in the talks.

But M also knows that the answer to this question is unlikely to be found. Because even if she went out herself. Don't even think about finding an immortal. Therefore, it is imperative to find out what the foreign ministers of the two countries have discussed.

"Use diplomatic channels to put pressure on the Estonian government to explain the purpose of this meeting!"

To be honest, M is not at all sure whether the Estonian government will give an explanation, because although Britain is now the world's top spot, the Entente will win the world war if there are no surprises. But it was out of reach for Estonia, which had never been the sphere of influence of the British Empire, and which the nascent state could be described as a puppet of the Germans, from the point of view of safeguarding the interests of the suzerain. Estonians also do not need to sell British accounts.

But now there is no way to do it, and Poland's shape shì has been so bad that it is home. The Germans were again threatened and frightened by someone, and the Entente did not have a very good solution to the current predicament. The only thing that could be done was to hope that Pilsudski could hold out as much as he could, and then increase his troops in the direction of Szczecin as much as he could.

Obviously, it will take time to increase the number of troops in Szczecin, and if the Russians come up with a new conspiracy during this time, if the Russians overthrow the regimes of the three Baltic countries without making any effort, then the shape will be even more disadvantageous to the Entente. At that time, the Red Army could reach East Prussia directly by land, which could completely offset the advantage of the Entente in increasing the number of troops in Szczecin.

"It is imperative that the Estonian government maintain its current position and must not be allowed to turn to Russia!"

This was the decision made by the British, so they soon contacted the Estonian government through guΓ² public and private channels, promising to win over them with a large profit on the one hand and whipping the whip in their hands on the other.

As a result, the Estonian government immediately felt pain and joy. On the one hand, they are very afraid of the military threat of the Russians, they have already offended Maozi several times before, and if someone sues them that Maozi wants to crush them into slag, they will definitely not suspect it. So as soon as they heard that Tukhachevsky was going north with the main forces of the Eastern Front, they were really scared to the bottom of the urine, for fear that the polar bears would immediately hit them.

In particular, when the foreign minister of the polar bears, Chicherin, suddenly asked to talk to them, they subconsciously thought that this was Maozi preparing an ultimatum. At that time, when the poor foreign minister went to talk to Chiclin, he was quite a bit of a bleak and sloppy water.

However, to the surprise or surprise of the Estonians, although Chicherin waved the big stick twice from time to time during the talks, his intention was still obvious, and he did not come to give an ultimatum.

"The Russians demand an official apology for the Yudenich incident and a pledge to never again support and participate in any subversive activities against Soviet Russia!"

For the German elite of the Estonian government, these demands of the Russians were not excessive, and could even be regarded as polite. If an apology could have saved them from a military disaster, they would never hesitate.

"Could this be a conspiracy of the Russians?"

"What conspiracy?"

"Delay! It is clearly a delaying tactic, the Russians just want to paralyze us, and as soon as Tukhachevsky's army arrives, they will tear through all the camouflage! ”

"Then what do you say we should do, refuse the demands of the Russians? Isn't that an excuse for war? ”

Just when Estonia itself was about to stir up a ball, the sudden addition of the British gave them a glimmer of hope.

"We should move closer to the Entente in this regard. If there is a guarantee from the Entente, the Russians will not dare to act rashly! ”

This idea has a certain market in Estonian politics, for small countries. The most important skill was to hug the thighs, which they had previously hugged the Germans and scared off the Bolsheviks. But with the defeat of Germany, this thigh is wasted, if you can take the opportunity to hug the big thick legs of the British, it seems that Xu Shu has come to Zhuge Liang?

However, the political elites of Estonia are not all fools, and soon there are objections: "This kind of political speculation is risky!" Who does not know that the Russians have torn their faces with the Entente. In Poland, they had already fought directly with the Entente, which shows that the Russians were not afraid of the pressure of the Entente. As soon as we move closer to the Entente, we will inevitably be regarded as enemies by the Russians. Then they will not hesitate to start a war! ”

This analysis also seems to make sense, and the Estonian elite, with a little use of their brains, recognized this possibility. What can't the Bolsheviks do with these madmen? Wouldn't it be fun to even dare the Jews to nurture and exterminate a disobedient and unpleasant Estonia?

The old problem was solved, but soon a new problem arose - submission to the Russians. Wouldn't it offend the Entente?

This is the most intractable issue in international political relations. If you are on the wrong side and make the wrong choice, you will inevitably be punished. As soon as Estonia yielded to the Russians, it would inevitably offend the Entente group severely. This risk Estonians have to weigh carefully!

But the Estonians quickly weighed the results - and there was not much risk. Anyway, they only promised to apologize and weren't completely on the side of the Russians, did they? And even if the Entente insisted on pursuing it, they could say that it was a compromise forced by the strong military pressure of the Russians. They still don't believe it, the Entente bloc is stalking over such a little thing, anyway, the most important enemies of the Entente are the Germans and the Russians. Before these two are finished, Estonia has plenty of time to repair relations!

Soon the Estonians made their choice. Continued contact with the Russians and, if necessary, full acceptance of Russian conditions.

"The Estonians have been fooled! Is the next phase of the operation begin? ”

This was a telegram from Tsicherin to the Politburo, and the poor Estonians did not know that the Bolsheviks had not only made contact with them, but also had a dialogue with Latvia and Lithuania, but on completely different terms for those two!

So when the Estonians publicly apologized for the Yudenich incident, Latvian and Lithuanian people were taken aback, and they did not know that they thought that the Estonians had betrayed them and were ready to side with Russia.

The Estonian envoys in Latvia and Lithuania were immediately asked for an explanation, and even the Ministries of Foreign Affairs of Latvia and Lithuania sent a direct note to the Estonian Government demanding that the Estonians must give an explanation.

Where do the lovely Zanians have anything to say, because they are still confused, and they feel that they are not forced to apologize to the Russians? What's all the fuss about?

"No fuss?" The ambassadors of Latvia and Lithuania to Estonia were furious and protested vehemently: "Don't you know that the Russians demand that we immediately apologize and hand over the murderers for the previous persecution of the Bolsheviks and the banning of the Soviets, and that we restore the legitimacy of the Soviets, otherwise it will mean war?" ”

What the? The Estonians were also taken aback, but soon they reacted, as if we were not the main target of the Russians? The essence of the military threat that the Russians are fanfare about is going to Latvia and Lithuania?

Suddenly the Estonians breathed a sigh of relief, if this is the ultimate goal of the Russians, then they really have nothing to fear, anyway, they didn't block the way of the Russians, only Latvia and Lithuania have a headache, this is great news!

Even the Estonians thought they had seen through the Russians: "The Russians are really clever in this move, and they use military pressure to force us to agree to undemanding conditions, so that we can distance ourselves from Latvia and Lithuania, and prevent us from joining forces to cause trouble for them, what a cleverness!" If we had seen through this a long time ago, I'm afraid we could even omit an apology, right? ”

The Estonians are a little proud, of course, more completely relieved, the Russians are targeting Latvia and Lithuania, and it has nothing to do with us! Of course, the Estonians are not stupid enough to move stools to watch the play, after all, their three countries are one, and if Latvia and Lithuania are finished or completely fall out with them, then I am afraid that the Russians will not be so easy to talk to.

The Estonians considered it necessary to be in line with their allies, so they explained to them that there was absolutely no unilateral surrender to Russia, and on the other hand, they unconsciously began to act as mediators. Estonians feel that the best outcome at the moment is to negotiate a settlement, and how perfect it would be if Latvia and Lithuania could make some concessions in exchange for avoiding war!

It has to be said that the Estonian picked up the script completely automatically as a certain immortal expected, and began to perform according to the lines he envisioned. The next thing that needs to be done is just give them a new bait.

Just when the Estonians were about to be fooled, Learvin became more and more interested in the movements of a certain immortal, and was eager to find a certain immortal, because Learvin realized that even such an important issue as the three Baltic states could not attract someone to dedicate himself, so someone must have a more important task. If she can ruin someone's wishful thinking, she will defeat someone for the first time!

So where is Li Xiaofeng and what is he doing? This qiΔ“ has to start with one person, and he is Kolchak...... (To be continued......)
