The night in Moscow is as quiet as the song goes. Because of the curfew, the night in this century-old city looks ghostly. Except for the occasional patrol, there was not a single figure in sight on the empty street.

In order to prevent German air raids, after dark, all the street lights in Moscow were extinguished, especially after nine o'clock, the power plants were turned on and the lights were controlled in the strictest way. Although this practice caused many Moscow people to resent, the strict lighting control did protect Moscow from German air raids.

On this night, several cars drove out of the red walls of the Kremlin, led by Volga white license plates with blood-red Cyrillic letters, which, according to Soviet regulations on vehicle management, belonged to the Central Security Department, and only a handful of leaders at the peak of Soviet power could enjoy the protection of vehicles with such license plates.

The second place in the team is still the Volga sedan, which is still white and red, and there are two more such cars, and in the middle of these four Volgas is a car with a very special shape, or a sports car. If it is a comrade who has crossed over, you can see at a glance that in addition to not having a Porsche license plate, this Nima is not a Porsche 356A.

That's right, this is the car of a certain immortal, he is so special, among many central leaders, only his car is so individual and different. Probably he's also the only Politburo member who doesn't need a driver.

At the very end of the convoy was a "minibus" and a very wild car, which was full of first-class bodyguards trained by the KGB, and each one armed to the teeth, if anything unexpected happened. They will rush out of China and Pakistan as soon as possible to protect a certain immortal and break out of the encirclement. As for the last. This is actually an off-road vehicle, which is a jeep.

It's a jeep with a very rough look. The boxy chassis is quite high, much like the Humvee of later generations. In fact, this is a spare car for an immortal, and it will be used after someone's 356A has a problem or is attacked, which is the key to ensuring that an immortal can "escape" smoothly.

To be honest, it's a very eye-catching team because it's too stylish. If it weren't for a certain immortal who repeatedly asked him not to clear the road when he traveled, I am afraid that the pomp and circumstance would be even greater.

Well on this night in Moscow. Where is a certain immortal going? Surely not home, Angelina and he were forced to move to the Kremlin after the outbreak of the war, citing the need for safety. Speaking from the heart, a certain immortal really didn't like the atmosphere of the Kremlin, it was too depressing, no wonder the tsar would go to Leningrad back then, and the Tsarskoye Village (now Trotsk) there was much more comfortable than the Kremlin.

However, Li Xiaofeng can't be too special, after all, the Politburo members all live in the Kremlin, and it is impossible for him to be "special" alone. And living together is also convenient for meetings. If there is any emergency, Trotsky only needs to ask the secretary to shout, and the bigwigs will be able to meet. It's better than waiting for someone in Moscow for an hour or two.

Of course, Li Xiaofeng has an idea in his heart, if he becomes a core leader, the first thing he will do is to move out of the ghost place of the Kremlin, or live comfortably on the outskirts of Moscow. For example, the place he was going to now was quite good.

Is a certain immortal running out for a vacation in the middle of the night? Of course not, Politburo members are not so painful and leisurely. In fact, if Lenin had not asked to meet him, he would have been buried in the middle of the night.

There may be comrades who want to be strange, why did the mentor suddenly want to see Li Xiaofeng? What's going on? Also, didn't the Mentor recuperate in Sochi?

When the war broke out, how could Lenin still stay in Sochi to recuperate? Even though he was retired, he was still a mentor after all, and it was impossible for him to really sit back and watch Trotsky carry all the pressure alone.

After the outbreak of the war, Lenin returned to Moscow and lived in the suburbs in the holiday villa of the former royal palace nobles. Although the mentor does not participate in the Politburo, every decision made by the Politburo and the Military Commission must be notified to the old man. On issues that he considered important, he would also express his views by writing letters to the Politburo or the Central Committee. All in all, Lenin is gone, but the legend he left behind is still there.

However, it is very rare to invite a member of the Politburo directly to his home as he did today, and the only person who could enjoy this treatment before was Frunze, except for Trotsky. As for the members of the Politburo of the Leninists, Lenin was nowhere to be seen. This is not to add a clear height, but the mentor is showing his attitude, he doesn't want to retire without stopping, let alone being the emperor.

So, what was Lenin's sudden call to Li Xiaofeng for this time? Let's take a slow look. After entering the villa area, at the request of Li Xiaofeng, the jeep, the medium bus and the Volga that were driving the road before and after all stopped, and he drove the 356A alone and stopped at the door of the tutor, and at this time Krupskaya just opened the door and walked out.

Li Xiaofeng stopped and opened the door suddenly, and before Krupskaya walked down the steps, he had already walked up quickly to greet him and sent a cordial greeting: "Nadezhda. Hello, Comrade Konstantinovna! ”

There may be comrades who are strange, a certain immortal has changed his sex, didn't he like to talk about pomp and show off the most in the past, how can he not show off with his sassy character?

Nima, running to Lenin and Krupska's house to show off, isn't this looking for a draw and finding uncomfortable. Li Xiaofeng is not so stupid, not to mention that he still respects his mentor from the bottom of his heart.

Krupskaya is also a little strange, after Lenin retired, it was not that there were no old cadres who came to visit, but there was no sincerity like a certain immortal who was so low-key that he drove over and didn't even bring a follower. The most low-key Dzerzhinsky also had at least three cars and four or five retinues.

"The Central Security Department allows you to go out and mess around alone?" Krupskaya quipped.

To tell the truth, Krupskaya's impression of Li Xiaofeng is very good, and because someone is very young, she always has the feeling of seeing a child grow up when she sees someone, even if someone has become a member of the Politburo. This feeling has not changed.

Li Xiaofeng did not look like a member of the Politburo at this time. He replied with a grin, "Of course not." Those people thought all day long that I was not in the Soviet Union, but living on the territory of hostile forces, and every day I was annoyed by the rumors and trees. I stopped them at the junction, so as not to disturb Comrade Lenin's rest. ”

Krupskaya shook her head and smiled: "You are still the same, always so naughty!" ”

Li Xiaofeng stuck out his tongue and said with a smile: "I just don't want to live so tired!" ”

The two walked into the villa with a smile while greeting each other. At this moment, it is not the Politburo members who go to visit the former core leaders, but the apprentices to see the master and the master, that's all.

Lenin's villa is not luxurious, and of course it is definitely not simple, as a former supreme leader, even if he wants simplicity, and has always emphasized simplicity, but no unsightly staff will really take care of his life with simple standards. Let's put it this way, Lenin's villa belongs to that kind of low-key luxury, unlike those local tyrants and nouveau riche, who engage in local tyrants and money and other things.

Now. Lenin dozed off in a rocking chair by the fireplace, he didn't like heating very much. He has a soft spot for fireplaces, and it seems that those crackling flames can inspire him. And as an old man, he slept very lightly and slept very little, and when Li Xiaofeng just walked in, he woke up.

The old man was about to stand up and shake hands with Li Xiaofeng, but Li Xiaofeng took two steps forward and pressed Lenin: "Don't be so outsider, there are no outsiders ...... anyway," he said.

Lenin was also quite satisfied with Li Xiaofeng's attitude, because he had seen too many young people who forgot their roots and did not know the height of the sky once they were successful. It stands to reason that at the level of a certain immortal, it is normal to put up a shelf, but someone obviously has no shelf, and still treats him as a teacher. He had heard the conversation between someone and Krupskaya just now, especially the part where someone drove the people out of the Central Security Department, which made Lenin very happy.

Li Xiaofeng casually dragged a chair and sat opposite Lenin, chatting with one old and one young. However, they are not talking about military affairs, but about some small things in the family.

For example, Lenin talked about his previous experience of fishing in the Sochi Sea, and Li Xiaofeng joked about what he saw and heard in China, which seemed so warm and harmonious. Of course, Lenin deliberately called a certain immortal over, and it was definitely not nonsense, there must be a reason. All this has been said to ease the tension before the formal conversation.

Lenin finally got to the point: "I heard that you opposed the Atlantic Declaration? ”

Li Xiaofeng said with a straight face: "Comrade Lenin, I am not against this declaration, but I think that this declaration is not perfect and there are still many problems. I think that this manifesto represents only the interests of a part of the people for the time being, and it is not good enough for the vast number of people who were enslaved by the German, Italian, and Japanese fascists! ”

Lenin nodded and said, "You go on." ”

Li Xiaofeng said: "This declaration does not mention anything about the Japanese fascists, I think this is a compromise with the United States, and of course I also understand the contradictory position of the United States. It is normal for not all countries, especially those that have not yet been invaded by fascism, to be afraid of these demons declaring war. However, the Soviet Union is different, it represents the most just force in the world, shoulders the hope of the proletariat of the whole world, and we cannot compromise, we must persevere. Persist in opposing fascism and insisting on saying no to the Japanese militarists, this is a matter of principle, and we cannot give in! ”

Li Xiaofeng glanced at Lenin, saw that his mentor did not show any displeasure, and then continued: "Therefore, I advocate not joining this manifesto for the time being, and I must explain clearly and thoroughly through the Comintern the areas that this manifesto does not cover. I think it is advantageous for us to win the support of the proletariat all over the world. ”

Lenin still did not say much, and said very calmly: "Then when do you think it is more appropriate for us to join this manifesto?" ”

If it was ten years ago, Li Xiaofeng would probably say what was in his heart without even thinking about it, isn't it the most worthwhile thing to join the declaration after the United States and Japan declare war. But now he is not so stupid, he knows very well that Lenin should have the answer to this question, and asking him now is more like a test.

Li Xiaofeng's mind turned and replied: "When to join the declaration does not depend on our attitude, our attitude is always the same, that is, we must thoroughly clear the fascist countries. Only when Western countries fully recognize, accept, and are willing to implement this issue. Only then can we join the declaration. This is a matter of principle, not negotiable! ”

Lenin finally showed a hint of a smile, and it could be seen that he was very satisfied with Li Xiaofeng's answer, and he said with some pleasure: "Your understanding and attitude on this issue is correct, and I have always emphasized that the issue of principle must not be compromised and must not be bargained. We, the Bolsheviks, must always adhere to this norm. ”

Took a sip of water. Lenin added: "Tell us about your views on the future revolution, and what do you think the impact of this battlefield will have on the future revolution?" ”

Li Xiaofeng was actually a little puzzled, before he came, he thought that this was Lao Tuo's small report beating him in front of Lenin, and this was because he made his mentor unhappy, so he called him over to teach him a lesson. But now it seems that this is not the case at all, right? What do you want to do, Tutor?

While pondering this question, he replied cautiously: "The nature of this world war is complicated, and in the beginning, this world war is no different from the previous one, and it is still a dog-eat-dog caused by the uneven distribution of spoils within imperialism. In terms of their motivations. It is a dirty war to safeguard the exploitative interests of imperialism and is unjust. But. As the proletariat of the invaded country took up arms to defend its power, and as increasingly oppressed nations began to revolt, the nature of the war began to change. I think that as the war deepens, it will evolve into a war of national independence and liberation. Whether it is because imperialism is weakening each other, or because the oppressed nations are beginning to awaken, the balance of power between the exploiting class and the proletariat is undergoing a profound transformation, and the power of the proletariat will become stronger and stronger! It is foreseeable that in the future, in Asia, Africa, Latin America, and other regions, the proletarian revolution will be promising! ”

The smile on Lenin's face became more and more, and even a layer of red light could be seen, which showed that the tutor at this time was more excited, he smiled and patted Li Xiaofeng's hand, and said: "I basically have the same cognition as you. We, the Bolsheviks, must take advantage of this opportunity, which will be a better opportunity than the last world war. If we are well prepared, we can completely change the contrast between friend and foe in the whole of Europe and Asia, and in the future the Soviet Union will not be the only child standing alone in the imperialist encirclement, we will have countless brothers and partners, and the climax of the world revolution is coming! ”

When Lenin said this, Li Xiaofeng seemed to see his shadow again in 1917, when his mentor was full of strength and passion, as if he could turn the world upside down with his bare hands. And now he is thousands of miles away from that time in terms of energy and body, and it is unceremonious to say that the mentor at this time is already a strong man in his twilight years, and he is a dying old man.

Even, Li Xiaofeng was worried that his outburst of passion would drag him down, wouldn't this be a return to the light? Not only did he have such worries, but Krupskaya immediately walked up and comforted the mentor while teaching: "The doctor said, you can't be excited, you must control your emotions......

Lenin's health is indeed not very good, after retirement, his spirit is not as good as day by day, he burned too much passion in the first half of his life, and he will inevitably have to pay for it in the second half of his life. But he is by no means a person who can be idle, if you let him not read the newspaper, not read the documents, and not think for a day, it is better to kill him directly.

Thinking about the future of the Soviet Union, thinking about the big questions of the world revolution, which was already Lenin's instinct and had become part of his good health, how could it be separated? And what was even more depressing than back then was that in the past he could free his hands and feet to carry out the revolution, but now, he can only watch other comrades go to the revolution, which is really too painful for him.

"I'm glad you know that. I am glad that the third generation of Party leaders is still able to pay attention to the big problems of the world revolution, rather than just taking advantage of the good things in a corner of the world. Speaking of this, Lenin sighed and said with great disappointment: "At present, some of our young comrades lack great ideals, great wisdom, and especially a sense of adversity, and think that everything will be all right since the establishment of the Soviet Union. This is not right, as representatives of the proletariat and the most advanced productive forces, our task is to eliminate exploitation and oppression and liberate the world. Now that the revolution has not yet succeeded, and there are still many powerful enemies standing on our opposite side, we must be prepared for danger in times of peace, and we must not accept the good things when we see them, let alone think about how to unite the enemy with one mind. Even if the fascists are rampant, they cannot ignore the future because of the slightest practical interest! ”

Li Xiaofeng finally heard the subtext of Lenin clearly, and the mentor was afraid that he would not be satisfied with Lao Tuo's proposition, although he did not deny the direct threat of fascism, but the old man could not forget the greatest revolutionary ideal.

Thinking of this, Li Xiaofeng couldn't help but feel a little funny, no wonder Trotsky's expression was so depressed at the regular meeting today, it turned out that he was suffocating at the tutor's place. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel a little happy and proud, if even the mentor didn't stand on your side, there was no way to ask you, right?

But Li Xiaofeng was a little too happy, Lenin was not so easy to guess, and after a very subtle criticism of Trotsky, he continued...... (To be continued......)
