131 Mannerheim Again (Part I)

The police always arrived at the scene after the criminals were finished, as did Kuharin, a member of the Finnish Social Democratic Labor Party who had high hopes from Lenin, who arrived at the right time when Li Xiaofeng had finished cleaning up the situation.

"I'm so sorry, Vladimir. Comrade Ilyich, the train is late. You didn't get into trouble when you got through it, did you? Kukhalin asked.

Although Lenin felt that Kukhalin had come a little late, this was force majeure after all, not to mention that someone had already settled the matter satisfactorily, although the means of solving it made him speechless, but he did not intend to dwell on it too much.

"It's just a little trouble, Comrade Andrei has solved the problem satisfactorily!"

Comrade Andrey? Kukhalin had never heard of such a figure among the Bolsheviks in exile, and for a moment he was stunned. It was Lenin who introduced him to the situation of a certain immortal, and when Kukhalin heard about someone's great achievements, his expression was very strange, and he frequently looked at someone along the way, as if he wanted to find out what it was so miraculous for someone.

Li Xiaofeng didn't care, just look at it, and it wouldn't be missing a single hair, but it made his vanity greatly satisfied. Of course, during the journey, one had to explain to Comrade Lenin about the diplomatic passport, knowing that Comrade Lenin was not on the right path with the Provisional Government, and especially hated the Foreign Ministry of the Provisional Government. If someone did not give a reasonable explanation, I am afraid that Lenin would inevitably have a pimple in his heart.

Fortunately, this is not a big problem, and when Lenin heard that someone had made a fake passport with his own food and clothing, he rarely laughed out loud. There was even a hint of regret that in fact, Lenin had planned to use a "fake passport" to smuggle in, and had already instructed Ganetsky to find a deaf and mute man in Sweden who was more similar to himself, and then use his passport to cross the border. Knowing that someone was so powerful, Lenin probably did not intend to transit through Germany, and directly asked someone to take the "regular" way back to China with a fake passport, at least there would be no excuse for political opponents to attack.

However, this idea flashed through Lenin's mind, after all, someone had not yet joined the party, and no one knew that he had such ability. And even if you can make a fake passport for Lenin, you can't make one for every party member in exile, right? Lenin was not arrogant enough to consider himself a savior, and without the support of the collective forces, he could not make any waves in Russia.

However, this incident made Lenin decide that someone did have a way of doing underground work, and that he had done the right thing by handing over the work of Tekko to someone. Of course, Lenin just put this point in his heart, and did not intend to praise someone, who made someone too popular in this paragraph, if he praised it again, it would not be beautiful if it was fluttering. In the spirit of being responsible for someone, Lenin even criticized him a few times, telling someone to pay attention to the working methods, not to be brute force, but to know how to use skills.

In this regard, Li Xiaofeng can say that he listened to it or he didn't listen to it, anyway, he wasn't too concerned, who made him an immortal and have the capital to do something brutal?

Leaving Turku, the train heads straight for Helsinki, a journey that is nothing but a waste of time and a tedious one. Only then did a lonely immortal feel how happy it was for someone to provoke him, at least not so boring. If there was one thing to gain from the whole trip, it was that someone was taken aback by the attitude of Lenin and other old Bolsheviks.

The energy of these people has surpassed the limits of human beings, endlessly holding meetings, arguing, quarrelling, giving impromptu speeches as soon as the train arrives, and writing articles and reading documents in the evening. Li Xiaofeng didn't have to think of a sentence in his previous life: get up earlier than chickens, sleep later than "chickens", eat worse than pigs, and work more than cows, but they just don't see people, and these people are as tired as dogs. It's just a bunch of natural workaholics. …,

At least Li Xiaofeng thinks that he does not have such a passionate enthusiasm for work, and it seems that the Bolsheviks all have the attributes of donkeys - they have a bad temper, are tired and do not die, and they are more stubborn than the other. The most stubborn of them was Lenin, who had to quarrel with his younger brother every day, and there were too few people who understood that he supported him, and most of the Bolsheviks who returned to China were no different from the Bolsheviks at home, who did not advocate a radical armed revolution, were satisfied with reality, and preferred a gentle and gradual revolution.

Naturally, this kind of argument is not the same as Lenin's, and many veterans who followed Lenin to make a revolution have very strong opinions about Comrade Mentor, and if Lenin had not really made his views public, they would have brushed their sleeves away.

All in all, the journey was not pleasant, even dull, and a dark cloud hung over everyone's hearts, and the divisions within the party were growing and the contradictions were accumulating, and it only took one spark to blow up the Bolsheviks.

A day later, the train entered Helsinki, and after a brief interview with a Helsinki newspaper, Li Xiaofeng followed Lenin on the train to Petrograd, but before that a certain immortal first parted ways with Eriksen, and a certain man needed to stay in Helsinki for a while to complete all the formalities for the first factory of NORINCO.

Although there was a person who could accompany him to chat and relieve his boredom, Li Xiaofeng immediately met an old friend on the train, Mannerheim, a national hero of Finland. At this time, the old man was with several other old fellows dressed as gentlemen.

"What a coincidence, Mr. Mannerheim!" Li Xiaofeng stretched out his right hand, "I didn't expect to see you here again, we are really fateful!" ”

Mannerheim was also taken aback, and showed a look of surprise, but after all, he was also a character, and he disappeared in an instant, and he stretched out his hand very enthusiastically, and said happily: "It's a pleasure to see you again, Mr. Sbelsky!" ”

"Me too!" Li Xiaofeng smiled, and then asked, "These gentlemen are your companions?" ”

"Yes, these are members of our Parliament!" Mannerheim said as he introduced a few old men to Li Xiaofeng.

There is no interest in a few old men Li Xiaofeng, who made Finland just a small country, only as a vassal of a large country for hundreds of years, in such a country, even if there are politicians, the achievements are very limited, it can be said that in the entire 20th century Finland there was only one politician who made a difference - Mannerheim. Other than that, the rest of the people don't need to be taken seriously, not only because they are too inferior, but more importantly, because they don't have the sober and calm political vision of Mannerheim.

Especially in the early 20th century, when Finland was still striving for independence, these politicians in the political arena were even more incompetent, either pure idealists or fanatical Russophobic and pro-German elements.

It is clear that the same group of parliamentarians who were with Mannerheim were the former, and the reason why they had traveled all the way to Petrograd was to petition for the independence of Finland. The petition, of course, was addressed to the Provisional Government. These old guys, full of illusions, actually hope that the royalist members of the Provisional Government will open up to Finland and allow Finland to become independent!

Li Xiaofeng's first reaction was that the heads of these old guys were broken, how could the provisional government allow Finland to become independent, they aimed to maintain a Great Russia, and they also hoped to win the war and expand their territory. Let them be merciful and let Finland go, which can only be described as wishful thinking and self-deprecation.

But the old men were full of confidence: "Mr. Sbelowsky, I think your views on the Provisional Government are too extreme and one-sided. After the establishment of the Provisional Government, all unequal and unconstitutional regulations and acts imposed on Finland by the Tsar were abolished. Give us back the autonomy we deserve. What a great enlightenment this is relative to the arrogance of the tsar, and we believe that an enlightened government can understand the aspirations of the Finnish people......"...,

The old men babbled a lot of nonsense about gratitude to Dade, which seemed to Li Xiaofeng to be both funny and ridiculous, and how weak and incompetent it was to base the independence and autonomy of the nation on the handouts of the powerful. Moreover, the powerful did not intend to give handouts at all, and he knew too well about the transfer of the Provisional Government, even after the victory of the October Revolution, the Prime Minister of the Provisional Government, Kerensky, who had fled the country, did not recognize Finland as an independent country. It is even more unlikely that the Provisional Government is now in a good situation.

However, the old men scoffed at Li Xiaofeng's words, and took out their secret weapon - the petition of the people. A few old men managed to win hundreds of thousands of signatures in a very short period of time, believing that with the strength of public opinion, the "enlightened" provisional government would be generous in granting Finland freedom.

Li Xiaofeng sneered unceremoniously: "You did the same thing in 1899, when you collected 522,931 signatures and the support of more than 1,000 foreign celebrities, but how did His Majesty the benevolent Nicholas II treat you?" Do you want to repeat history all over again? ”

The events of 1899 were the pain of every Finn, in order to Russify Finland and completely annex Finland, the Tsar issued a famous February proclamation, completely obliterating Finland's autonomy, which aroused the anger of the Finns, so they came up with a trick of joint letters. Counting on impressing Nicholas II with public opinion.

But the result? It doesn't help at all, and public opinion can only be manipulated by strong women in the face of power. The 500 deputies with more than 500,000 signatures did not see His Majesty the Tsar at all, and after making a circle in Petrograd, they were driven back to Finland in embarrassment. And this time, in Li Xiaofeng's opinion, it is no different from the last time, these idealistic old men will be bloodied in the face of power!
