PS: Sorry, the network is hanging!

Bow and thank you to Hzwangdd and Comrade Juventus!

Karpovich has been a spy for almost a year, and his knowledge of the job has changed from initial excitement and curiosity to his current calmness. Perhaps in the legendary novels, the spies all lived thrilling lives. It's the kind of life that can have a shootout at any time, sneak in and steal confidential documents at any time, or go undercover behind enemy lines.

At first, Karpovich thought the same way, because during the six-month spy training, he learned to drive, learn to use the telegraph correctly, and learn to use a firearm. He believes that after graduation, he will most likely be sent to an imperialist country to engage in adrenaline-pumping operations. He also fantasized that he would become a super-spy, a hero known throughout Russia.

But when Karpovich received his first assignment, all his good imagination was shattered. He was ordered to sit in the office and do intelligence analysis work.

For three months from that day, Karpovic's daily routine consisted of walking into a small office at 11 Lubyanka Square, reviewing information from various sources, and picking out valuable or urgent information to hand over to his superiors.

This kind of case work is not much different from his work as a cashier in a bank, simple, boring, and boring, which makes Karpovic, who is full of revolutionary passion and ready to do a big job, cool his waist. Even he began to wonder if he had been fooled.

For three whole months, Karpovich read countless intelligence, some nonsense and some meaningful. Of course, the absolute majority of it is as boring as plain water. Karpovic only felt that his reading ability and ability to write reports had skyrocketed. He began to think about whether he had a talent for writing. Shouldn't you be a revolutionary writer like Gorky.

But what he didn't know was that the three-month bench career had not only trained his word processing skills, but also read a lot of information to greatly improve his sensitivity to intelligence, which invisibly enhanced his ability as a spy.

Three months later, on that day, he was called out of the office, and Li Xiaofeng met him for the second time, and of course a certain immortal was not prepared to lock such an ace spy in the office and become moldy. The previous ones were all preparations, all in order to familiarize Karpovich with spy work and get him into the work faster.

After coming out of Li Xiaofeng's office. Once again, Karpovich was confident that he had finally received his first serious espionage job - to infiltrate Poland and carry out intelligence work in Warsaw.

Karpovich infiltrated Poland in a hurry according to Li Xiaofeng's arrangement and opened a foreign trade bag company as a cover. The rookie spy was so obsessed with making big ins that he wanted to sneak into Pilsudski's office, but he soon discovered that that the idea was really just a dream.

With no channels, no connections, and even unfamiliar life, it can be said that it is extremely difficult to take any step, and after a month of tossing, Karpovic suddenly woke up. That's not how intelligence work is done!

I have to say that this man was born to do this. After waking up, he immediately adjusted his strategy, no longer ambitious, but down-to-earth and steady. Having worked in a bank, he was very familiar with business, and soon his bag company became a veritable business of conscience.

Karpovic was always able to get the luxuries needed by the Polish upper class, and he was able to get the scarce food, which quickly attracted the attention of the Polish high society. In this era of material scarcity because of war, who wouldn't want a friend with great powers?

At that time, Karpovich's work report to a certain immortal was more like a business performance report, and our genius spy gave full play to his business ability, and for a time the Warsaw intelligence station was the only one of all the Cheka's foreign intelligence agencies that could not only pay for its own profits and losses, but also earn a lot of real money. Even the mentor who learned the news thought that it would be overkill to let Karpovich do intelligence work, and that it was right for such a business talent to work in the Ministry of Commerce and Trade!

But making money is a pleasure, but Karpovich really wants to be a useful person for the party, and those dirty capital transactions really disgust him.

"You think your work is meaningless?"

On Christmas Day 1918, when Karpovich went to Vyborg to report to Li Xiaofeng, he complained about it, but a certain immortal taught him with a smile: "Do you know, your actions in the past few months have surprised me very much!" It is simply unimaginable that the situation was opened up in such a short time...... Comrade Fedor, don't you know how meaningful your work is now? ”

The rookie spy shook his head.

Li Xiaofeng sneered again and said, "You have opened the door to Polish high society and established stable and reliable contacts with them. Keep running and you'll be their partner and friend, maybe even a sworn friend. ”

Karpovich grumbled: "I don't want to be friends with the bourgeois devils!" They make me sick! ”

Li Xiaofeng shook his head and said, "How can you think so? Your task is to gain the trust of these bourgeois devils, and then to find out from them without leaving a trace information useful to your proletarian brothers. What a great job, why do you feel disgusted? ”

Karpovich whispered, "I just can't stand their copper stench!" ”

"It's for the revolution! For the proletarian brothers of the whole world! Li Xiaofeng deliberately straightened his face and said, "Are you not even willing to sacrifice this little bit?" ”

Karpovich stopped talking, in fact he was still too young, like all young people, he didn't have much patience, and liked to do things according to his feelings. As long as someone explains the reason to him, it will be enough to encourage him, and this is not difficult for Li Xiaofeng at all.

"Fedor. Comrade Karpovich," Li Xiaofeng suddenly walked out from behind his desk, stood solemnly in front of Karpovich, and said very solemnly: "In view of your outstanding achievements. The All-Russian Soviet has decided to award you the Order of the Red Star! ”

said. A certain immortal will be in the shape of a red five-pointed star. In the center, a soldier of the Red Army with a gun, surrounded by a medal with the inscription "Proletarians of the whole world unite", pinned to Karpovich's chest (the Order of the Red Star was born in 1930).

At that time, Karpovich was excited, because he felt that he really didn't do anything to get a medal so that he could get a medal?

"Don't be presumptuous!" Li Xiaofeng patted him on the shoulder heavily, and said with a smile: "I have already said that your work is of outstanding significance!" The Order of the Red Star is just the beginning, I am sure you can also receive the Order of the Red Banner, and even the Order of Lenin! ”

When returning to Poland. Karpovic was no longer as confused and impatient as he had been, although he still didn't like his job and didn't understand what it was all about. But he knew one thing – he was recognized for his ability to do his job, and the organization wanted him to do his job better.

It has to be said that motivated and unmotivated are completely different, and under the encouragement of the medal, Karpovic devoted himself to his work and achieved unimaginable results. In just a month or two, he blended into the circle of the Polish elite. Indeed, as Li Xiaofeng said, he found a lot of hidden information.

For example, Yudenich's whereabouts!

"That damn bald guy would have thought he was our Russian master, if it weren't for the British government's demand that we take him in. I'm not going to bother with that drunken polar bear. ”

Karpovic's heart moved, and he asked curiously: "Yudenich, is that the Russian general?" ”

"That's right, who else but him...... Don't you know, he became a lost dog and fled from Estonia, but when he arrived in Warsaw, he was lame again, and I really couldn't get used to seeing his face......"

In the evening of the same day, Karpovich reported Yudenich's arrival in Warsaw to a certain immortal in Moscow.

"Yudenich in Warsaw?"

Li Xiaofeng was also a little surprised, after the chaos of the Germans, the Estonian government immediately softened, and could only respond positively to Russia's demands, according to them: "Yudenich has already fled the Estonian border." The Estonian Government was completely unaware of the crimes committed by this man in Russia, and Estonia was willing to return the executioner if the Russian Government needed it. ”

It's a joke, Yudenich ran away, and repatriated a hair? This is the most lame excuse for prevarication. For the Estonians who died, the Mentor said that he could not care about it for the time being, although Kolchak had been defeated, but Denikin had not stopped, commanding the battle on land, he was much more expert than Lao Gao. After some adjustments, he came back and forth, and once again to the city of Tsaritsyn, and once again fought with Stalin, Egorov, Budyonny, and Voroshilov.

In this case, it is normal for the mentor to ignore Estonia, anyway, the country with a big nose can be destroyed with a wave of his hand, and it will be settled in the future!

So the People's Commissariat for Foreign Affairs, headed by Chicherin, only once again condemned the Estonian government, accusing them of letting Yudenich go.

And now Karpovich actually said that Yudenich was in Warsaw, which immediately aroused Li Xiaofeng's strong interest. As a newly established department, it is necessary for the National Political Security Bureau to show its existence with a good start, and if Yudenich can be caught, it will definitely be the best start. At that time, Trotsky still dared to say that the GPU was a duplicate construction, and that the GPU was inferior to the Cheka?

"Telegraph Karl (Karpovic's code name) to keep an eye on Yudenich's whereabouts, and it would be better to find out where he is hiding in Poland!"

This order was not at all difficult for Karpovich, and Yudenich's residence in Warsaw was not at all a secret. This infantry general, who had just been defeated, did not want to go into exile, let alone be a duke willingly. He also wants to make a comeback, and he also wants to fight back in Russia.

After arriving in Warsaw, he was busy liaising with the Entente and Pilsudski, meeting with Russians in exile in Poland, and gathering old ministries. This product is as conspicuous in Warsaw as a light bulb in the dark.

"This guy really thinks that if he escapes to Finland, everything will be fine? Naive! ”

Li Xiaofeng glared contemptuously at the big bald head who was enthusiastically giving a speech to the Belarusian elements in exile in Poland, turned to Karpovich and asked, "Has this guy's residence been clarified?" ”

"444 Grokhovsky Street."

Li Xiaofeng shrugged his shoulders and said, "This address is really unlucky!" ”

Karpovich did not understand what was unlucky about No. 444, and it was not No. 13. Besides, don't we Bolsheviks not believe this?

Of course. He didn't dare to say these words. Instead, he said, "But this guy's guard is very strong. They are all die-hard counter-revolutionaries, they all have military experience, they have been on the battlefield, and everyone has a lot of blood debts in their hands! ”

"I know!" Li Xiaofeng nodded indifferently, "But compared to the signal flag, it's still far behind." Let's go, let's go on a field trip. ”

Karpovich was tempted to ask what the signal flag was, but the discipline of the organization was there. Don't ask what you shouldn't ask, after thinking about it, he forced the question to himself.

Needless to say, the so-called Vympel is the evil taste of a certain immortal, that is, the Vympel special forces of later generations, of course, its official name is now the "Independent Training Center of the Russian Soviet Socialist Republic". According to the request of a certain immortal, the main task of this unit was to carry out anti-subversive operations abroad, which translates to the abduction and execution of counter-revolutionaries who were active abroad and attempted to subvert the Soviet regime.

Not only did there be a signal flag, but even an immortal of the Alpha Special Forces was also copied. Alpha's mission is naturally aimed at domestic targets, mainly engaged in dealing with emergency emergencies.

And this time. The arrest of Yudenich from Warsaw and his return to Russia was the opening of the Vympel. A certain immortal wanted to make a hit, so that the Trotskyist cannons could see how powerful.

During this period, Trotsky was quite dissatisfied with the newly established GPU, and he constantly attacked and ridiculed a certain immortal openly and covertly, and even criticized Lenin very implicitly, believing that the behavior of the Master was nothing more than nonsense, and that it was entirely for his own selfish interests. It was even asserted that the GPU was a joke and could not play any role at all.

Could it be that Trotsky once again looked down on Li Xiaofeng, absolutely not. If he looked down on a certain immortal, he would not have objected so strongly. On the contrary, he knew that the ability of a certain immortal was quite beyond imagination, and he had been very successful in the past when he was fighting in the Cheka, and had made countless feats. It can even be said that a Cheka without a certain immortal is a Cheka with a lame leg.

And now, a certain immortal has become independent from the Cheka, and he is directly responsible to the Council of People's Commissars, or to Lenin to put it more bluntly. Except for Lenin, this goods can be sold to no one's face, no one else can restrain him, and someone who lets go of his hands and feet will inevitably shine even more than before.

Trotsky didn't want anyone to shine at all, and at the age of 19 he was an alternate member of the Central Committee, and even if he was in his twenties for two or three years, he could properly become a member of the Central Committee. It is conceivable that when someone is 30 years old, the level of the Central Committee may not be able to accommodate his big Buddha. Do you want him to become an alternate or a regular boarder?

Trotsky absolutely could not accept this, he was already far behind Lenin in terms of successor, and Lenin could accompany him to fight for at least another ten years, and after ten years, either Sverdlov or Stalin could easily succeed him. It is conceivable that his successor to Trotsky is probably destined to be ostracized by those two, and now that a certain immortal is mixed in, he may directly squeeze out the place of his successor to Trotsky.

I'll it, how did I get it then? Seeing that the Leninists ruled the world, his people could only obediently squat at home or sit on a cold bench?

Trotsky thought that he could no longer allow the reserves of the Leninists to flourish, and that it would be quite difficult for him to strike at Lenin, or at the great bulls of the Lesser and Stalinist who had already formed a climate. But it is relatively easy to fight a calf like Li Xiaofeng, especially if someone still likes to participate in things and like to make some incidents, who will fight if he doesn't hit him?

And this time, Li Xiaofeng is alone for the first time, although the bright side is very bright, but the actual work will be quite complicated, it is foreseeable that at this time, someone is weak, must accumulate steadily, must accumulate for a period of time.

Trotsky felt that he could not make a GPU at ease, but that he must constantly make trouble for him, constantly provoke him, and preferably force him to hurry and make big mistakes.

Therefore, as soon as the GPU was formed, Trotsky made the people below him constantly noisy and attacked a certain immortal and Lenin with all their firepower. On the one hand, it can hit Lenin a little, and on the other hand, it is necessary to provoke or provoke Li Xiaofeng's competitive spirit.

Trotsky's idea was simple: what could a GPU do with an empty shell? No matter how powerful Li Xiaofeng is, he can't take on the whole world alone, and he can't do all the work of an organization alone, right? If that guy can't stand the stimulation and doesn't try his best to prove himself, he will inevitably have to plant a big fight, then don't blame us Trotskyists for falling into the well and settling the account.

It has to be said that Trotsky had a complete grasp of Li Xiaofeng's mental activity, and a certain immortal was exactly as he expected, and he did go to get off to a good start. However, there is a discrepancy with Trotsky's estimate:

First, Li Xiaofeng can really single-handedly challenge the whole world, he has cheated the Allies and the Entente before, and he has earned a lot of money;

Second, Li Xiaofeng is not alone, it is true that Gebeu has indeed just been established, and it is indeed only an empty shell. But from 1917 to 1918, a certain immortal still found some friends and sat down in advance;

Thirdly, Lenin knew very well what Trotsky wanted to do and how he would do it, and if the teacher did not even have this political sensitivity, he would still be a mess! Therefore, for the right-hand man to build the GPU, it is full support, as long as you don't ask him for money and materials, you will have enough manpower!

So Trotsky, who was waiting to see the joke and smoke the cold stick of some immortal, was afraid that it would be tragic again! (To be continued......)
