Svoboda never imagined that one day he would be able to return safely to his hometown, Troznetin, a small town near the Morava River.

Compared with when he was forcibly conscripted into the army a few years ago, the town has basically not changed, except for the fact that it seems more desolate and bleak, and there is no other feeling except for the fact that things are wrong and people are wrong, and there are infinite sighs.

As a minority under the Austro-Hungarian Empire, the Czechs and Slovaks had a very low social status, and most Czechoslovakians were unwilling to work for the Austro-Hungarian Empire. In accordance with the demands of the Comintern, Svoboda shouldered the burden of propagating communism in his homeland, advocating national autonomy and the proletarian revolutionary movement.

It should not be surprising that after some contact with the Bolsheviks, Svoboda was so attracted by this passionate group of the poor that he resolutely chose to join the Red Army and go on a crusade against the White Army and his former compatriots.

Because of his bravery and consciousness on the battlefield, he was attracted to join the Bolsheviks, and in 1919, with the Trotskyist theory of the world revolution gaining momentum, the development of the organization within the German-Austrian bloc and the development of revolutionary work became a top priority.

A large number of foreign Communists, in accordance with the instructions of the Comintern, secretly returned to China, among them Svoboda, who was very good. Of course, there is also a more famous cattle man than Svoboda - Tito. But now we're going to tell the story of Svoboda, so let's put Tito aside.

With the fake documents made by Li Xiaofeng, Swoboda sneaked back to his hometown with a few like-minded friends. However, the spread of communism in Czechoslovakia and the development of the armed forces of the proletariat were much more difficult than imagined.

The reason is simple. Czechoslovakia, though, had a tradition of rebellion against Austria-Hungary. But this kind of rebellion is relatively low in the first place. Without the First World War, the resistance of the Czechoslovakians could only be called scratching the shoe, and would not have risen to the level of armed struggle.

The second was that Marxism was not the dominant force in Czechoslovakia, and most Czechoslovakians believed in Masaryk and preferred to join Masaryk in leading the Czechoslovak National Council.

Anyway, Swoboda's work in his hometown can only be said to be unsatisfactory, and after half a year of hard work, the number of people who have developed is only a few hundred. On the contrary, with the announcement of the surrender of Austria-Hungary, the Hungarian working class was quite fierce. It is much more powerful than the seemingly powerful working class in Germany.

At times, Svoboda felt ashamed of his trust in the Comintern, and this work performance made him blush. On this day, as is customary, it was time to make a work report again, and looking at the telegraph in front of him, Svoboda was a little stupid, and in the morning, two more "activists" chose to leave his ranks, and compared with the same period last month, the size of the "group" not only did not increase, but also shrank considerably. It really made him unspeakable.

However, even if it is difficult to speak, Svoboda can only bite the bullet and contact the higher-level party committee. This is his job and responsibility, and a qualified Bolshevik cannot escape responsibility!

Just as Svoboda was about to admit his mistake to the party committee and implore him to send a more suitable person to take over his job, the unexpected happened. Before he could make self-criticism, he received new instructions from his superiors.

"Go to the headquarters of the Party Committee in Prague immediately."

Svoboda was a little baffled, this order came a little strangely, and he only said to go to the headquarters of the party committee in Prague immediately, but did not say why. For the Communist Party of Czechoslovakia, which was operating underground, this order could not be seen as unreasonable!

However, no matter how Svoboda knocked on the side or questioned him openly, it was all watertight, and there was no doubt that the order must be carried out immediately. There was no way, Svoboda went to Prague with great doubts, but he did not go directly to the party committee to meet stupidly, but after some careful makeup preparations, he went to the seat of the party committee to observe the situation.

After observing the whole day, Svoboda did not show up until he found that the party committee was normal, much to the displeasure of his old friend Gottwald.

"Ludvik, what the hell are you doing, didn't I ask you to come to Prague right away?"

Speaking of which, this Gottwald had a similar experience to Svoboda, the same forced conscription and the same halfway escape from the Austro-Hungarian army. The only difference was that he came into contact with the Bolsheviks earlier, was more influenced by the Bolsheviks, and soon joined the ranks of the Red Army. Naturally, this accomplishment was no worse than that of Svoboda, who served as a member of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Czechoslovakia, a member of the Politburo, a member of the Executive Committee of the Comintern and the General Secretary of the Czech Communist Party, and in 1945 he became First Deputy Prime Minister of Czechoslovakia, in 1946 he became Prime Minister and later President of Czechoslovakia.

In response to his old friend's questioning, Svoboda could only smile bitterly: "Your order is too sudden and unreasonable, I suspect fraud, so I ......"

"That's why you just walked in after a day of wandering outside the gate, didn't you?" Gottwald didn't have a good airway.

"You know?!" Svoboda was surprised.

Yes, Svoboda was still a little confident in his level of makeup, he thought that he could hide from the eyes of the Austro-Hungarian minions, who would have thought that even Gottwald could see through it, to be honest, it hit him very hard, and the poor guy couldn't help but think: "Am I really having a problem with my abilities, really getting nowhere?" ”

"I didn't find out, but Comrade Andrei found out!" Gottwald continued to lose his breath.

"Comrade Andrey?" Svoboda's eyes widened in disbelief.

For Svoboda, the most important key figure who led him to the revolutionary path was a certain immortal, without whom he would have died in Ukraine, without whom he would not have been able to return to his homeland again. After leaving Russia, he thought that he would not be able to see Comrade Andrei again for a long time.

Now that Gottwald suddenly said that someone was in Prague, in the party committee, he was surprised and excited. He grabbed Gottwald. Lian Sheng asked, "It's Andre. Comrade Petrovich? ”

Gottwald broke free of his hand in frustration. Rhetorical asked: "Except for Andrey. Comrade Petrovich, who else could it be? ”

Swoboda was delighted: "Quick...... Take me to him! ”

Gottwald laughed and said, "Why, I'm in a hurry, this is what you brought on yourself, who told you to stand guard at the door with your own cleverness!" ”

Svoboda said angrily: "Who told you not to explain the situation, you informed me earlier that Comrade Andrei was coming, I didn't fly over, where would there be this!" ”

Gottwald put away his joking tone. Yan said: "Old friend, Comrade Andrei's identity is very sensitive, how can I leak his whereabouts on the telegram?" If the enemy detects it, the consequences will be unimaginable! ”

This time, Svoboda also nodded heavily, and agreed: "You are doing very right, it seems that it is indeed correct for the superiors to let you preside over the work of Czechoslovakia!" Much better than me! ”

Gottwald naturally saw that Svoboda's feelings were not very high, and as the head of the Communist Party of Czechoslovakia, he also knew the difficulties Svoboda faced. In fact, the difficulties of Svoboda were common throughout Czechoslovakia, and the work was not carried out with great difficulty. It's just that the situation is even more dire in Svoboda.

Gottwald put his arm around Svoboda and comforted, "Old friend." Don't be discouraged, let alone be anxious, everything is difficult at the beginning, just get over this hurdle! The important thing is to keep working hard and I believe in you! ”

Svoboda's new warmth nodded again heavily, and he swore that he would not fail the trust of the Comintern and Gottwald, and that he would do his job well, and he would do his job!

Li Xiaofeng didn't know the current situation of Swoboda, he only knew that the later Svoboda was a person, so he invested a little in advance, as for whether this person was not worthy of the name, he didn't worry too much. And it was not his turn to worry about it, this was a matter of concern to the Communist Party of Czechoslovakia and the Comintern, and if it were not for Czechoslovakia this time, he would probably have forgotten about Svoboda.

When Svoboda walked into the conference room, Li Xiaofeng was listening to the work reports of the secretaries of the party committees of various regions of Czechoslovakia. But he came under the banner of the Comintern, and if he did not pay a blind eye to the work of the Czechoslovak comrades, it would be too chilling, and he had to pretend to make a good impression on the Czechoslovaks, after all, he would have to rely on these people for help.

Therefore, Li Xiaofeng's attitude was quite good, and the comrades in Czechoslovakia felt the concern of the Comintern and the warmth of comrades. In particular, a certain immortal is not only inspecting and inspecting work, but also can solve some practical difficulties, such as the shortage of funds.

This is a timely rain for the Communist Party of Czechoslovakia, which has just opened and has a tight life, whether it is someone who has dealt with a certain immortal or someone who has not known a certain immortal before, they all agree that Comrade Andrei is a good comrade!

"Ludvik, you're finally willing to come in!" When a certain immortal caught a glimpse of Svoboda's figure, he laughed heartily and quipped, "I'm very relieved to have you standing guard outside!" ”

Svoboda's face turned red, and he was about to explain a few words, but a certain immortal stood up and shook his hand heavily, and said very enthusiastically: "I heard that you have performed many miraculous feats on the battlefield and made outstanding contributions to the revolution...... Others say that I have eyesight, but I know in my heart that this is good luck, and if I save someone casually, I will become a great hero of the revolution. ”

This made Svoboda more and more embarrassed, and he was about to make self-criticism, but a certain immortal did not give him a chance to speak: "Comrade Svoboda has arrived, and all the main leaders of the Czechoslovak party organization have arrived. On behalf of the Comintern, I would like to congratulate you and hope that you will continue to make persistent efforts in the future to win the victory of the Czechoslovak revolution! ”

After a pause, he continued: "But this time, I am not only here to check everyone's work performance, but more importantly, I have a very difficult task to hand over to you. Clement. Comrade Gottwald. Don't take notes. It's classified. It can't be leaked, and no written records can be left! ”

Gotwald hurriedly stopped writing, Li Xiaofeng nodded, and then continued: "You may have heard of the situation in Königsberg and East Prussia, where the Jewish minority, unable to bear the oppression of German imperialism, resolutely took up arms to defend its power, and under their leadership, the revolutionary form in East Prussia and Poland was transformed and dealt a heavy blow to the imperialists! ”

Li Xiaofeng looked at everyone's expressions again. Gottwald and the others were either a little confused or unsure, but Svoboda had a thoughtful expression.

"But these imperialists are not willing to be defeated, and in order to strangle the revolution, they can resort to any despicable means. With their connivance and instigation, the Polish puppet reactionary government headed by Pilsudski still kidnaps innocent Jewish civilians and uses them to bargain with us and prepare to strangle the uprising of the Jews and the East Prussian people. ”

After a pause, Li Xiaofeng continued: "As a Bolshevik, help the oppressed people of the world to get back on their feet. It is our glorious mission to help them live with dignity. To rescue those innocent Jewish civilians. I desperately need your help! ”

Li Xiaofeng's words are quite beautiful, there are causes and consequences, and the meaning is clarified, and they are indirectly elevated, for these Czechoslovak rookies, this is undoubtedly the best encouragement, and they immediately shouted one by one:

"Comrade Andrey, just say, what do you need us to do? No matter what the sword is, we Czechoslovak Communists are not afraid! ”

"That's right, for the sake of all the oppressed peoples of the world, we are duty-bound!"

"Comrade Andrey, you give the order! We can't wait! ”

Li Xiaofeng had no choice but to press his hand, "Comrades, I am very touched to see that you have such an internationalist spirit. You are quite right, the proletariat of the whole world is a family, and it is our duty to help our friends and relatives who are oppressed! On behalf of the Comintern, I would like to once again express my heartfelt thanks to the Communist Party of Czechoslovakia and to all of you, who have shown us the greatest and most touching side of the spirit of internationalism, and who have opened my eyes to the bright future of the revolution! I believe that history and the oppressed people of the world will never forget the exploits of all of you! You will be remembered forever! ”

One high hat after another made the leaders of the Communist Party of Czechoslovakia a little beautiful. Don't say it's a mountain of swords and a sea of fire, even if it's hell in front of them, they dare to break into him!

Li Xiaofeng is also very satisfied with the effect he has created, for these immature communist rookies, high-standard motivational words are more effective than beating chicken blood, as long as they can make them flutter and fly, it is a piece of cake for them to give their lives with their willing hands!

Of course, after the encouragement is completed, Li Xiaofeng must also hurry to get to the point, otherwise the time will drag on, and after the momentum has passed, these guys will not be so easy to fool.

"Our mission is to safely rescue the oppressed Jewish civilians from the clutches of the Poles!"

"How can I save it?" Svoboda was the first to ask.

Li Xiaofeng looked at him and smiled: "According to the information we have, these poor Jews were imprisoned by the Polish devil in the town of Auschwitz on the outskirts of Krakow...... Around this town, there were three large concentration camps that enslaved more than 10,000 Jews, and our mission was to cross the border and rescue them safely! ”

Svoboda was a little dumbfounded, he had been praised by a certain immortal before, but he had not completely lost his mind, and now his reason was told to him - this was a very fatal operation, not only to cross the border to fight, but also to rescue tens of thousands of people, how easy is this?

As soon as Svoboda was about to speak, Li Xiaofeng spoke again: "I know that this operation is facing many difficulties, and I also know that this operation is quite dangerous, but I think that only you, only the Bolshevik comrades in Czechoslovakia, can accomplish this glorious and arduous task!" ”

This high hat temporarily stabilized the hearts of the Czechoslovaks, so that they would not immediately begin to retreat. However, it's not enough to just talk in the vernacular, after all, painting cakes can't satisfy hunger, right?

Therefore, Li Xiaofeng must also give some dry goods: "Of course, the Comintern has also fully taken into account the risks of the task and your current difficulties. We will provide assistance in all aspects of our ability to ensure that the mission can be successfully completed! ”

These words also made many of the leaders of the Communist Party of Czechoslovakia here breathe a sigh of relief, and although they spoke beautifully just now, they were still beating drums in their hearts. And now this Comrade Andrei can sympathize with their situation and reduce the difficulty for them, which makes them even more reassured.

Svoboda, who was slightly stronger than his countrymen, asked: "What kind of assistance will the Comintern give us?" ”

Li Xiaofeng smiled and replied: "In terms of funds and weapons, the Comintern will give you full support, not only to ensure the smooth execution of your tasks, but also to ensure that you have the strength to protect yourself, so that you can carry out the independence and revolutionary war of Czechoslovakia at an appropriate time in the future!" ”

This statement immediately diverted the thinking of the Czechoslovaks, who were all focused on the words independence and revolutionary war, and completely ignored the dangerous task...... (To be continued......)
