Li Xiaofeng sat on the chair bored, yawned, and looked at the Hermitage Square opposite, his heart was full of regret.

The most wonderful and culminating scene of the Great October Revolution was the capture of the Winter Palace, and how he wanted to be the first person to enter the Winter Palace and plant the red flag on the dome.

Pity. All this came to naught because of the words of the Mentor, and Lenin actually told him to stay in Peter and Paul Prison honestly, not to participate in the siege of the Winter Palace, but to act as a liaison. This really made a certain immortal depressed.

"Comrade Andrey, when do you think the battle will restart?" Ren Fuchen lay on the windowsill, staring at his every move in the Hermitage Square across the river, and asked with some regret.

Li Xiaofeng glanced at Ren Fuchen, and in the past few months, Ren Fuchen, who was originally black and thin and looked like an African refugee, has undergone earth-shaking changes. Although he was as dark as ever, he was not thin at all, and it could be seen from the bulging muscles under his clothes that Lao Ren was a little powerful.

Of course, the most important change is not physical, but Ren Fuchen has mentally lost the lack of self-confidence or inferiority he had when they first met. Now he has sparkling eyes, no longer the slightest entanglement on his face, and a faint smile vaguely reveals confidence and pride. Now he really has a little bit of a dragon descendant.

In fact, not only Ren Fuchen alone has changed, but the three thousand Chinese workers with him have all been reborn, which is quite a bit of a mighty and majestic army. To be honest, such a feeling is really difficult to see in the Chinese people in this era, and China at this time is still the country of the sick man in East Asia. The heavy inferiority complex weighs down on everyone's waist. Not everyone can lift their waists and behave like Ren Fuchen and his Chinese workers.

I have to say. This is the power of faith. MARXISM is especially powerful in this regard, especially for the poor and destitute, which can make them burst out with two hundred percent combat effectiveness.

"Comrade Andrey, Comrade Andrei?"

In the call of Ren Fuchen, Li Xiaofeng retracted his reverie and asked blankly, "What's the matter?" ”

Ren Fuchen said with a smile: "The phone rang, it should be an order from the central government!" ”

Li Xiaofeng shook his head, slowly stood up and walked towards the telephone. Of course, he knew what Lu Dao Ren Fuchen was looking forward to. Like him, Ren Fuchen was eager to participate in this battle and to leave his own glory in the great October Revolution.

However, Li Xiaofeng knew that this was impossible, and the central government would never let the Red Eagle Regiment participate in the battle to besiege the Winter Palace, not because the Red Eagle Regiment was not good at combat, but because their combat effectiveness was too good.

All members of the Politburo, including the Mentor, believed that if the Red Eagle Regiment was the main attacker, then the capture of the Winter Palace would be easy. But here's the thing. The vast majority of the comrades in the Red Eagle Regiment were Chinese, although the Bolsheviks advocated internationalism. But in any case, it is emotionally unacceptable that no Russian wants to see a group of Eastern faces occupy the Winter Palace.

Therefore, the Red Eagle Regiment was appointed as the general reserve of the rebel troops, and could only stay in Peter and Paul prison honestly.

"Hey, I'm Andre. Petrovich. Li Xiaofeng picked up the earpiece and looked careless, but soon, his complexion changed, he became serious and serious, and there was a little excitement, "I understand, Comrade Yakov, I immediately went to Comrade Podvoysky and Comrade Chudnovsky and immediately conveyed to them the instructions of the Central Committee...... Okay, I promise to get the job done! ”

Putting down the earpiece, Li Xiaofeng ran out in a hurry, Ren Fuchen immediately stopped him, and asked pitifully: "Comrade Andre, ...... we?"

"Prepare honestly and guard Peter and Paul Prison! I'm going to the front line to convey the instructions of the Central Committee! ”

After speaking, Li Xiaofeng ran away with a puff of smoke, not that he didn't want to help Ren Fuchen, but that he couldn't help at all, and the same thing could not be changed to the Chinese people, would you like to see the Russians who captured the Nanjing Presidential Palace and planted the red flag? Even the closest friends are selfish when it comes to this kind of thing.

There was silence in the Hermitage Square, and the two sides stared at each other, and at the first order, they would be killed in a mess, and they would be separated from each other. However, tense negotiations continued, and without orders from their superiors, they could only fight hard.

"Comrade Podvoysky, why don't you launch a general offensive yet?" After finding the commander-in-chief of the rebel forces, Li Xiaofeng asked sharply.

"We are negotiating with the enemy, and they are ready to surrender!" Podvoysky didn't like Li Xiaofeng very much, he always felt that the other party was just a little kid, and a little kid dared to talk to him in a questioning tone, which made him very unhappy.

"Who authorized you to negotiate with the enemy!" Li Xiaofeng frowned, he didn't know the news of the negotiations, and he always thought that the rebel troops were making the most difficult preparations.

Podvoysky became more and more unhappy, and emphasized: "I am the commander-in-chief of the insurrectionary forces, and I have the right to do this!" ”

"Although you are the commander-in-chief of the insurrectionary forces, you must also accept the command of the Soviets of Workers' and Soldiers' Deputies and the Revolutionary Military Council!"

Li Xiaofeng was also a little annoyed, he remembered very well that nearly an hour ago, Lenin personally wrote a note, emphasizing that the enemy could only surrender unconditionally, and if the enemy refused, then he would be completely destroyed. What caused Podvoysky to dare to negotiate with the other side? This is a great political mistake!

"And what about Comrade Chudnovsky?" Li Xiaofeng asked sharply, "Why didn't I see him, where is he?" ”

"He's negotiating with the enemy!" Podvoysky replied impatiently.

What the?!

This news made Li Xiaofeng dumbfounded, the deputy commander-in-chief of the dignified rebel army actually walked into the Winter Palace alone to negotiate with the enemy, what a brain-dead man!

"You're making a mistake!" Li Xiaofeng suddenly became angry, "Comrade Lenin, and the new Presidium of the All-Russian Soviet of Workers' and Soldiers' Deputies, just now solemnly ordered you to be sure to be tonight. That is, before October 25th. Take the Hermitage! All the remnants of the Provisional Government headed by Kishkin must be arrested and brought to justice! And you guys. What kind of negotiations with the enemy were made without informing the Revolutionary Military Council and the Soviets of Workers' and Soldiers' Deputies! What are you trying to do? Are you ready to go along with the Provisional Government? ”

Podvoysky's face suddenly became very ugly, although he still didn't like Li Xiaofeng, nor did he like his domineering posture, but he had to admit that the other party was right, he made a big mistake with Chudenovsky, although they were well-intentioned, but mistakes are mistakes.

He opened his mouth. wanted to explain a thing or two, but Li Xiaofeng preemptively asked: "How long have the negotiations been going on, and has Comrade Chudnovsky delivered any news?" ”

Podvojsky flattened his lips and said: "The negotiations have been going on for forty minutes, and Comrade Chudnovsky has not heard anything yet......"

Li Xiaofeng's eyes widened, he couldn't believe his ears, what he heard, the negotiations had been going on for almost an hour, and there was no news, no results, no matter what was good. It's still bad, and I don't even know if Chudnovsky is still alive.

"That's how you negotiate with the enemy?!" Li Xiaofeng roared. "If you want to negotiate, you have to negotiate on our turf, why should you accommodate them? They are already turtles in an urn, what qualifications do they have to bargain? Also, if you let the negotiations go on so quietly, maybe something bad has happened to Comrade Chudnovsky! ”

"Probably not, right?" Podvoysky's cold sweat suddenly fell, and he also thought of that terrible possibility, but for his own sake he had to argue: "The negotiations did not come out so quickly, and the enemy gave assurances......"

"The enemy made a guarantee!" Li Xiaofeng repeated angrily, glaring at Podvoysky viciously, "The enemy also made a solemn guarantee in the July incident, what is the result?" Comrade Podvoysky, I have to say, you are too ...... with Comrade Chudnovsky Too kind, too easily deceived by the enemy! This is simply a delaying tactic by the enemy, don't you see that the enemy is rushing to repair and strengthen the fortifications? ”

Podvoysky's face turned red, of course he knew what Li Xiaofeng was going to say, to be honest, now he also felt that he was too stupid, so his arrogance immediately fell.

"So what now? A general offensive at once? He asked cautiously.

Li Xiaofeng asked angrily: "Then Comrade Chudnovsky is not dead, and the enemy will shift all the responsibility to us...... Hey, Comrade Podvoysky, what do you and Comrade Chudnovsky think, didn't you see Comrade Lenin's instructions? ”

Podvoysky replied honestly: "See, Comrade Lenin demanded the unconditional surrender of the enemy, so we ......"

"That's why you're negotiating with the enemy?" Li Xiaofeng glanced at Podvoysky with contempt, Nima, even this kind of political mind dares to come out and mix, big brother, can't you see that the whole meaning of the mentor is not to negotiate with the enemy and directly eliminate them?

Podwoisky's face turned white, and he began to realize that he seemed to have made a big political mistake and misunderstood Lenin's order, which caused extremely serious consequences, and if Chudnovsky could come out alive, it would be fine, and there would be more or less someone who would help carry the black cauldron, but if Chudnovsky died, then the black cauldron would be carried by him alone.

In order to preserve the face of the martyr, the image of Chudnovsky is definitely bright and tall, and he will become a green leaf and a pitiful insect that sets off the other party's tall and complete body.

"So what to do?" Podvoysky was so anxious that he was about to cry when he looked like that.

Li Xiaofeng was very satisfied with the other party's panic, what he wanted was to mess up the other party, so that he could fish in troubled waters, after all, the tutor only asked him to convey the highest instructions of the central government, and after the transmission, he went back to Peter and Paul Prison to continue squatting on the cold bench.

He didn't want to be so honest, and he didn't mind using a little bit of a trick to fulfill his grand wishes.

"So be it!" Li Xiaofeng coughed and stopped Podvoysky, who was in a hurry, "You immediately prepare for the worst situation, and after half an hour, immediately launch a general attack!" Comrade Podvoysky, time is running out for you, there are only two hours left until the 26th, we must hurry! ”

"Yes, hurry up!" Podvoysky repeated stupidly, but soon he came to his senses. "Launch a general offensive. What to do with Comrade Chudnovsky? ”

"I'll leave it to me!" Li Xiaofeng patted his chest and reassured. "I'm going to rescue him now!" After saying that, after he whispered a few words, he walked towards the Winter Palace with a big grin, "Remember, after half an hour, no matter whether Comrade Chudnovsky and I can come out alive or not, you must launch a general attack!" Li Xiaofeng emphasized it again at the end.

Looking at Li Xiaofeng's distant back, Podvoysky was completely stupid. He couldn't figure it out at all, why would the other party go to the Winter Palace at this time, if the enemy was really a delaying tactic, then entering like this would definitely be a meat bun and a dog. In that case, why go in? Wouldn't it be nice to launch a general offensive directly?

Of course, Li Xiaofeng would not choose to attack this road directly, if he did so, how could he go down in history? He wants to be a big hero, he wants to save Chudnovsky safely, and he is full of confidence in this!

But at this moment, Chudnovsky, trapped in the Winter Palace, is full of despair about his fate. Shortly after entering the Hermitage. Under the custody of the cadets, he was taken to the Cabinet.

Push open the heavy oak door. Most of the ministers of the Provisional Government sat in the conference room, and the most conspicuous of them was Kishkin, who was stealing from the top like an emperor, as if under his ass he was sitting not a chair, but the Tsar's throne.

With a wave of his hand, Kishkin sent the cadets away, and as the heavy oak door was closed, his momentum suddenly increased.

"You are the representative of the Bolshevik rebels?" He asked angrily.

Chudnovsky frowned, dissatisfied with Kishkin's tone, but he did not come here to quarrel, and under pressure of unhappiness, he replied: "I am the representative of the Soviets of Workers' and Soldiers' Deputies and the Revolutionary Military Council......"

"Don't talk to us about those two illegal agencies!" Kishkin waved his hand and asked very strongly: "I just want to know, why do you want to go against the government's orders and launch this futile armed rebellion?" Don't you know that this will be your own death! ”

Chudnovsky took a deep breath and replied aloud: "It is you who have killed yourselves, and now I will give you the last chance on behalf of the masses of workers and peasants - to lay down your arms and surrender at once!" ”

"It's ridiculous!" Kishkin Ha Da Lang laughed, "It's you who want to surrender!" He slapped the table heavily, as if to show his authority in this way, "The front base camp will immediately send troops to extinguish your rebellion, and you still have a chance to meet now!" ”

Chudnovsky shook his head, he felt that he was talking to a mentally ill person, and the telegraph communication between the front base camp and the cabinet had long been intercepted by Tekko, and it was clear from the telegram that the base camp did not particularly care about the life or death of the Provisional Government and Kerensky's cabinet. For their pleas for help, it is almost indifferent.

To put it mildly, it seems that the front-line base camp had the intention of destroying Kerensky's cabinet by the hands of the Bolsheviks.

"Then you can continue to hope for imaginary reinforcements!" Chudnovsky did not hesitate to turn around and leave, so that he would not waste saliva with the mentally ill.

"Slow!" Kishkin stopped him, smiled darkly and asked, "You're going to leave like this?" ”

Chudnovsky sneered: "Since you have no intention of negotiating, why should we waste time, let's divide the battlefield into two sides!" I want to know if when you became prisoners, you were still as majestic as you are now! ”

After saying that, Chudnovsky walked and prepared to leave, but he underestimated Kishkin's shamelessness too much, "Guards, catch this Bolshevik traitor!" ”

Chudnovsky turned his head in surprise, he saw Kishkin's treacherous smile, and suddenly a rather bad feeling overwhelmed him, "What do you want to do?" I have come to negotiate at your request! You little people who don't believe in your word......" Chudnovsky, who was trapped tightly, protested angrily.

"Shut his mouth!" Kishkin ordered without hesitation.

Nikitin frowned and persuaded: "The two countries have not yet killed the envoys, so it's not good to kill him?" ”

Kishkin asked with a smile: "Who said I was going to kill him!" How could a gentleman like us do such a dirty thing. I mean to continue this negotiation......"

Nikitin didn't think that this was a situation to negotiate at all, and asked cautiously: "But, how can you talk about it if you stop him?" ”

"Silent negotiations!" Kishkin smiled sinisterly and slyly, "Just let the cadets and Bolsheviks outside think that we are negotiating......"

Nikitin and the cadres and elders immediately understood what Kishkin meant, to put it bluntly, this is to delay time, but how much time can this small means delay? The Bolsheviks would never have been stupid enough to give them a few days to negotiate.

"Well, you don't have to worry about that!" Kishkin said unquestionably, and as he said he picked up the phone, "Pick me up Governor Parichinsky...... Yes, everything is seamless, yes, the Bolshevik idiots were fooled, yes, you hurry up and strengthen your defenses......"

Chudnovsky, who was gagged, regretted it, he finally realized how insidious and cunning his enemies were, and he was full of self-reproach for his own stupidity. If the enemy's plan is successful, as the defense of the Winter Palace is further strengthened, then it will inevitably inflict great casualties on the comrades who attack the Winter Palace. And all this turned out to be caused by him, and when he thought of it, he felt heartbroken! (To be continued.) )
