David Thornton was a British spy, a novice, highly trained but inexperienced, and a rookie spy like him was supposed to stay in China honestly and do civilian work, accumulating a few years of experience before being sent abroad.

However, the massive blood loss at MI6's Russian station took him to work early, and he, along with other rookie colleagues, was thrown to Petrograd by M. Chaotic Russia is certainly not Thornton's dream paradise, a chaotic country that is nothing short of a nightmare for the order-minded English gentleman.

Every day, Thornton, dressed in disguise and in tattered and patched outfits, mingled with the mass of striking or cause workers, chanting all kinds of radical slogans and engaging in so-called revolutionary activities in the streets and alleys.

Every day is an ordeal for Thornton, especially after he is sent by the black-hearted Upper Peak to the small town of Lazrev on the Russian-Finnish border, and his life is even darker. From that day on, he not only had to make up as a dirty worker, but sometimes he had to act as a ruffian who lost his armor, or simply picked up a dung bucket and disguised himself as a mud leg.

Thornton's mission was to search Lazrif in make-up for any traces of Lenin and Bolshevik activity. Of course, this was not the discovery of Lenin from above, in fact, after the events of July, the entire city of Petrograd was turned upside down, but nothing was found. In desperation, he could only expand the scope of the search, that is, to scatter all the rookies like David Thornton, and see if he could try his luck in the countryside.

Poor David Thornton didn't see the end of his life at all, once upon a time, he thought that being a spy was exciting and beautiful, maneuvering among all kinds of beauties, stealing some information that could change the course of history. But now, every day he has to deal with all kinds of poor ghosts and obscene mud legs. He, a top student at Oxford, had to pretend to be as rude and lewd as they were, swearing, telling pornographic jokes, and acting very affectionate with them. Days like this were nothing short of ordealing, until a hand was gently placed on his shoulder.

"David."

The sound is familiar. Familiar to David Thornton as soon as he heard this voice. Both legs began to tremble slightly.

“Sir！” The rookie spy struggled to keep his voice calm, while trying not to recall the harrowing circumstances of his training. If there was anything in the world that scared Thornton more than the present days when life was worse than death, it was the Connery instructor who trained him. Especially now. The instructor was right behind him, his hand on his shoulder, and the poor rookie barely knew what to say...... Or say nothing.

But Connery knew what he should say, "The boss wants to see you." ”

"I see." The rookie mechanic replied.

Connery laughed mockingly, "I'll take you to the boss." ”

"Yes."

David Thornton's words hadn't fallen yet, and Connelly was already dragging him forward. Of course. No one on the street turned their attention to them, and no one paid attention to them - just two ordinary unemployed workers walking shoulder to shoulder. It's not worth surprising at all. In Russia and Finland today, there is no shortage of unemployed workers on the streets, although the skin is too delicate and the clothes are too clean.

"I hate Russia, I hate these idle polar bears. In Manchester, we'll use machine guns to get these striking bastards to do their jobs. Instead of letting them gather on the streets and lash out at the government! The new stationmaster of the Russian station, 008, waved a clenched fist at his two men in indignation.

"Sir, one day, this mistake will be corrected." Connery assured in all seriousness.

Thornton glanced at him, apparently he didn't think Connery's assurances meant anything at all, and even thought that Mr. Instructor was just a sycophant, but in front of the stationmaster, he could only agree with it.

"Yes, eventually. This mistake will be corrected...... We will correct it. Definitely. 008 was emotional, but had to keep his voice down and keep his posture down. It makes his voice sound rather comical.

"Sir, what's wrong?" Not only Thornton, but even Connery was surprised. Before, the stationmaster had never behaved like he did now, even on the day when the Russian station was completely paralyzed two months ago, he was not so excited, and the situation seemed to be somewhat abnormal.

008 realized this as well, and he took a few deep breaths, quickly regaining his composure. Then he explained to his two subordinates: "I have received information that Lenin is hiding in Razref. ”

"Lenin?!"

"He's in Razreve?!"

Thornton glanced at his stationmaster, he was very skeptical of the accuracy of this news, he had been in La Zhreif for half a month, let alone Lenin, and had not even seen a shadow of a Bolshevik, although everyone on the street looked like the legendary Bolsheviks. But when Thornton looked closely, there was no doubt that they were none of them.

"It can't be, right?" Thornton blurted out.

"You know what to say! This is domestic intelligence obtained through covert channels! The credibility is quite high! 008's anger burned instantly: "Mr. Thornton, what have you been doing in Razlev these days?" I didn't find any clues! ”

The rookie spy panicked, and he didn't know whether Lu Dao should defend himself, or apologize to 008 Dao, and finally had to close his mouth and pretend to be stupid.

008 was not satisfied with this reaction and yelled, "Answer my question, Mr. Thornton! ”

"I'M SORRY, SIR."

"Bastard, David, you're the most incompetent spy I've ever seen!" 008 flew into a rage, glared at David Thornton, and roared at him, "You actually wasted half a month, do you know what a mistake this is!" ”

"I'm sorry, Sir." David Thornton only knows one thing to do now—and that is to apologize.

"If the apology is useful, what else do you need the law for?" 008 snorted and refused to accept Dao Lu's apology, but to no avail.

"I'm sorry, Sir."

“@#￥%……”

Now, it's 008's turn to know what to say, and although he wants to strangle the rookie in front of him, he can't actually do it. MI6 Russia has suffered a major blow from the last heavy blow, and the situation in Russia is so critical and at such a difficult time. Even if it's a waste. 008 must also let him play.

So at the end of the day, verbal warnings replaced more direct punitive actions: "This time, I will forgive you for your mistakes, but if there is another time, David." Do you know what the consequences will be! ”

"I understand, Sir, there will never be a next time." Thornton hurriedly assured.

"I hope you remember."

008 snorted again. Then he took a few deep breaths. Bring yourself back to your composure again, and say, "It's good that I got here this time, otherwise...... Let's start with the main point, from now on, concentrate all the manpower in Petrograd, and I'm going to turn Razliv inside and out! ”

"Gather all the manpower?" Connery was taken aback. "But, Sir, what if we all concentrate on Razrev, Petrograd?" ”

"Don't care about Petrograd." 008 glared at Connery angrily, "Our most important task now is to find Lenin's hiding place. ”

After a pause, 008 laughed and said confidently, "As long as we find Lenin and destroy him." Then the Bolsheviks would have been leaderless. Soon they will be in a mess. Then ......"

"And then what?" Thornton asked dumbly.

008 swore that "then the order of the whole of Russia will return to normal, and in the end we will definitely win this war!" ”

This is. Thornton interjected again at an inopportune time: "What should we do if the intelligence is inaccurate and Lenin is not in Razlev?" ”

"Idiot." Connery cursed in his stomach. Yes, although he had the same worries, the stationmaster in front of him was told that it was best not to upset the stationmaster on this issue, otherwise the consequences would be extremely serious.

"Obey orders!" 008 spat out the words between his teeth, "Get to work now!" ”

The rookie spy was frightened by the roar of his boss, and quickly apologized: "I understand, Your Excellency, I'm sorry, I'll start acting immediately......"

008 suddenly felt a little pain in his head, and he began to regret why he called David Thornton for questioning, this idiot was completely stunned! Now, all he could do was get the rookie out as soon as possible, but before that, he had to remind him: "You have to be very careful, don't startle the snake!" ”

It's hard to say whether they will be caught off guard, but even if Mr. 008's rookies do well enough, they are unlikely to catch Lenin, because the mentor is preparing to leave Razlev immediately.

It was not the activities of the enemy spies that aroused the alarm of the Mentor, who did not care at all about his own safety, for in the Mentor's view, he was responsible for leading the Party forward, and his security was the responsibility of Tekko

Lenin had great confidence in Li Xiaofeng's ability, and someone had not given any warning, so there was only one reason for him to leave Razlev in a hurry - he had to return to Petrograd to take charge of the overall situation of the revolution.

By the end of September, the atmosphere in Petrograd had become even more eerie, with all major political parties stirring up trouble and making trouble, such as democratic conferences, extraordinary congresses, and all kinds of dramas one after another. But the Bolsheviks, who had made waves in the previous paragraph, seemed tepid, as if they did not care about all this noise.

To some extent, Lenin really didn't care much about all this, and after he made the line of armed struggle clear, those lip service was not very much in his eyes. He has already gotten rid of the low level of scolding, anyway, those guys who occupy the podium and spit will soon be chased away by him with a stick and step on ten thousand feet, it is better to save a little energy at this time.

"Hasn't Andrei arrived yet?" Lenin asked impatiently, and this was the third time he had asked the same question this morning.

Krupskaya had to comfort again: "It's a big deal that you're going to return to Petrograd, Andrey they have to be more prepared and patient, he will be there soon." ”

Krupskaya was right when he said that Lenin's return to Petrograd was met with resistance in the Central Committee at the outset, and Kamenev strongly opposed this proposal, "At this time, I do not think it is appropriate for Comrade Lenin to return to Petrograd!" ”

"For what?" Stalin asked coldly.

Kamenev glanced at Comrade Steel, and after several direct confrontations, he already understood that Stalin was no longer Wuxia Amun, and if he was looked at with the old eyes, then it was definitely himself who suffered the most humiliation.

So Stalin just spoke up and asked a very simple question, but Kamenev was all right: "It's very simple! The government did not revoke the wanted warrants for him and Comrade Trotsky. I am very worried that Comrade Lenin's return to Petrograd will be self-defeating. So for the sake of the safety of Lenin's comrades. It's better for him to stay in Lazreif! ”

Was Kamenev really worried about Lenin's security? That, of course, was a joke, for in July, he insisted that Lenin should come out in court to defend himself, and at that time did he care about the life or death of his mentor?

There was only one reason why Kamenev did not want Lenin to return to Petrograd, and he was very sensitive to the day Lenin returned to Petrograd. It was the beginning of the outbreak of armed struggle. As a conservative who was strenuously opposed to an armed uprising, he did not want to see such an outcome.

"Humph!" The reason given by Kamenev made Stalin sneer, and everyone present was a human spirit, so naturally they heard the irony. "I didn't expect that, Lev. Comrade Polishevich, you will also be concerned about the security of Comrade Lenin. Stalin said in a strange way.

I endure! I endure! Kamenev told himself in his heart to be patient and not to be provoked by Stalin. He can't be led astray by his thinking. This bastard's ability to mess around has made him suffer a lot.

"I have always been concerned about the safety of Comrade Lenin!" Kamenev said unashamedly, "Moreover, in July the Central Committee had already made a resolution on this, and in order to ensure the safety of Comrade Lenin, he was allowed to leave Petrograd...... Now, wouldn't it be nice to overturn this resolution all of a sudden? ”

Kamenev's formulation is rather insidious, this thing is simply confusing concepts, and at that time, Lenin's departure from Petrograd was the general trend. And now. The general trend required Lenin to return to Petrograd.

However, Stalin was good at messing around, and for Kamenev's flamboyant approach. He didn't have a good way to fight back. But fortunately, it was not only one Stalin who remained in Petrograd, but also Sverdlov.

"The resolution of the Central Committee is against the appearance of Comrade Lenin in court for the so-called trial of the Provisional Government!" Sverdlov said very calmly, and he was clear about the decisions of the party, and instantly extinguished Kamenev's statement of stealing concepts: "As for where Comrade Lenin is going or where he cannot go, the Central Committee has not made any regulations!" ”

"But! Comrade Lenin's security ......" Kamenev wanted to argue a few words, but Sverdlov interrupted him impatiently: "Comrade Lenin's security is the responsibility of Tekko, and Tekko's comrades were able to ensure the safety of Comrade Lenin's life in a very critical situation at that time, let alone now!" ”

Kamenev was completely speechless, and Sverdlov's words were too direct, completely different from Stalin's yin and yang ridicule, he simply crushed the past, very domineering and unreasonable. But no one could refute it.

"Why did you come at this time?" Lenin asked impatiently, "Do you know how much work has been delayed?" ”

Li Xiaofeng smiled and explained: "Comrade Lenin, I also want to come earlier, but the Central Committee has a big disagreement about your return to Petrograd, and if it weren't for Comrade Sverdlov's refutation of Kamenev, you would still have to stay in Lazref!" ”

Lenin was stunned when he heard this, and then asked: "Kamenev came out to stir up trouble again?" ”

Li Xiaofeng smiled: "That's right, he probably noticed something, and he wanted to stop the car with his mantis arm!" ”

Lenin snorted: "Don't do it yourself! ”

It is indeed beyond his strength, in Li Xiaofeng's opinion, Kamenev is indeed very stupid and naïve, it is such a time, and he still expects to use such a small means to stop the mentor, saying that he is a mantis arm to stop the car, and it is simply an ant tripping an elephant.

"Vyborg City?" Lenin looked at the train ticket that someone had bought, and his heart was full of doubts, "Isn't the city of Vyborg in the opposite direction of Petrograd?" ”

Li Xiaofeng nodded, "You're right. ”

Lenin's face darkened suddenly, and he glared at a certain immortal and asked, "What is going on?" ”

Li Xiaofeng, however, was impatient, so he hurriedly explained: "According to Comrade Tek's reconnaissance, there are a large number of enemy spies operating around Razlev, and they seem to be aware of your presence. For your safety, and for you to carry out your work smoothly, we have to use a little trick to disrupt their sight! ”

Lenin's face was a little better, and he calmly asked: "What small means?" ”

Li Xiaofeng smiled and spit out a word: "Sound east and west!" ”

Thornton yawned boredly, and for two days, at the request of 008, he and another companion stood at the entrance of the Lazreif train, staring wide-eyed and carefully observing the appearance of each passenger, in case Lenin jumped over the wall and suddenly escaped.

I have to say that this job is very simple and boring, and it is estimated that 008 was so speechless about this incompetent subordinate that he was assigned such a simple and outrageous job.

In the past two days, Thornton has checked hundreds of suspicious travelers, and has gained nothing, so that he is full of complaints about this mechanized work, until Li Xiaofeng appears in front of him with a suspicious little man.

At first glance, he felt that the little man in front of him was very problematic, with a thick beard and sunglasses covering his face tightly, and the hair, which was crooked and oblique on his head, looked like a wig.

As a spy, how could Thornton be deceived by such inferior makeup skills, but he didn't shoot directly, after all, there were many people on the other side, and his only partner was now having lunch at the snack bar outside the train station, he was invincible with two fists and four hands, and the only thing he could do was to hang behind the other party cautiously and keep a firm eye on them.

"We're being targeted."

It can only be said that Thornton's tracking skills are too clumsy, and although he tries to make himself less visible, his abilities are too limited. was soon seen through by the little man next to Li Xiaofeng.

"I know the way!" Li Xiaofeng smiled evilly, "Now we can take the next step!" ”

With that, he left the kid next to him and slowly approached David Thornton, while our rookie spy was unaware of the impending danger...... (To be continued.) )
