Chapter 351 351 Dark Tide
Yang? Iliescu was surprised to see a small-looking black-haired Caucasian man sitting at the table, not very tall, even a little thin, not unlike the average Romanian on the street.
The first reaction was that this was a Romanian secret police, and Iliescu was used to being followed and surveilled, and even raided interrogations, so if it was someone from these secret services, it would not be strange to appear in his house.
However, even the secret police should not put on such a show, and it is more likely that he will be directly detained, and then all kinds of extortion and even execution will be carried out as they want. The guy in front of him seemed to look lazy and tired, but there was a kind of light in his small blue eyes that impressed Iliescu. Iliescu reacted that this person could never be a secret policeman.
Seemingly aware of what Iliescu was thinking, the blue-eyed man in front of him said, "I have blocked the bugs in your house, and those stupid pigs who are about to do a great deal of disaster will not know about our conversation, or even that I have been here before." Moreover, at this time, they should be more worried about Ceausescu's regime and his life. ”
Iliescu exclaimed, "What crazy are you talking about! Even if he was dissatisfied with Ceausescu, Ceausescu's influence penetrated into every corner of Romania, and Iliescu believed that Romania might eventually change, but Ceausescu would never just disappear from people's sight, or even die. For him, Ceausescu is an undying green pine, and his ups and downs are all because of this powerful man.
The blue-eyed man smiled and said, "Whether I say crazy things or not, time will naturally verify." ”
Iliescu looked at the man with burning eyes for a long time before asking, "Who are you, and what do you want to do?" ”
The blue-eyed man stood up and bowed slightly to Iliescu and said, "Sorry for not introducing myself, my name is Nikolai, hehe, it doesn't matter what I want to do, what matters is what you want to do, Jan?" Mr. Iliescu. ”
Nicholas stepped forward slowly, took out a folded piece of paper from the pocket of his jacket that looked very fashionable, unfolded it, shook it in front of Iliescu's eyes, and said: "There are dozens of people on this list who are like you, who are dissatisfied with the current regime and have been suppressed by Ceausescu and his son, and even many people still hold a lot of power. At the grassroots level and at the local level, the dissatisfaction and complaints against Ceausescu have become even stronger. Ceausescu had not yet seen their situation, and did not realize that he was at the end of his rope, but instead tried to push himself into hell even more violently, and perhaps it was time for some change in Romania. ”
Iliescu just swept the carefully folded list, and several familiar names smashed him like a sledgehammer, because he saw not only many comrades of a similar age and experience to himself, but even the six gentlemen who had great influence in the Communist Party of Romania (Konstantin?). Pervolescu, Georgy? Apostol, Alexandru? Berle Dianu, Corneliu? Manescu, Silviu? Brukan, Gregory? Yang? Lechanu).
He did not know the credibility of the list, but he also knew that in the spring, the six elders of the Communist Party of Romania wrote a letter criticizing Ceausescu's current policy, which caused a huge repercussion at home and abroad, if they were dissatisfied with Ceausescu's past. Iliescu just couldn't imagine that under the originally stable situation of Pinghu, there was such an undercurrent hidden, and even the six gentlemen of Luo Gong were included in it, who knew what kind of resources and what kind of plans these people still had.
Iliescu glanced at Nikolai and said, "Are you planning to overthrow the Ceausescu government?" Why I haven't heard anything at all, and you expect a blank piece of paper with no proof of validity to make me believe it? ”
Nikolai smiled, folded the list and put it back in his pocket, and pulled out another box of cigarettes from his pocket. Nicolai took out a cigarette and handed it to Iliescu, who had not smoked a cigarette for a long time due to the shortage of supplies, so he couldn't help but take it and sniff it in front of his nose, and suddenly felt refreshed.
Lighting a cigarette for Iliescu, Nicholas said, "First of all, if even a closely watched person like you can know about our operations, then our secrecy is worth reviewing. And I'm not going to convince you of our existence just by a list. If you are interested in joining this cause, I will arrange more ways for you and your comrades to carry out their work, and believe me, this is already infinitely close to success, and joining at this time will also be very beneficial for your personal political future. ”
Iliescu smoked his cigarette and said, "I'm afraid, you can also use the influence of me, a restless dissident, now, but you already have a character like the Six Gentlemen, and you shouldn't look down on a character like me anymore." ”
Nikolai smiled: "This is different, the six gentlemen are already dying, although they have some influence, but it is impossible to expect the future Romania to rely on their wisdom to manage the country, and sir, you are in the prime of life, and you have great ability, this is obvious to all." ”
Iliescu smoked halfway through his cigarette, wanting to extinguish it a little and save it for another next time. Nikolai seemed to see through his thoughts, and poured the box of cigarettes in his pocket onto Iliescu's desk, the cigarette case might have attracted the attention of the secret police, and the cigarette butts were much easier to deal with.
"Tell me, Comrade Nicholley, you don't look like a CP person, and you seem to be very well-behaved, this cigarette should also come from a foreign country, tell me, who are you serving?" Illescu was scheming and vigilant, and he did not believe that anyone could be connected to the discontent within the CPR, and that there was no way to bring them together without sufficient strength and funds. Especially when Ceausescu's henchmen were still monitoring the state, it was remarkable in itself to be able to accomplish these underground activities. It is difficult to do it independently within Romania.
Nicolai smiled again and said, "It doesn't matter who I serve, the point is that what we want is the same, and that is Ceausescu stepping down from his throne and Romania getting a new life." ”
"Let me be completely blind to information and background, and want me to contribute to your 'cause,' I'm afraid I can't do it," Iliescu said. Iliescu was also slightly worried when he said this, because what Nicolai said was a loss of his head, and if he really rejected Nicolai, maybe Nicolai would turn his face and kill people.
"Even if I don't say it, sir, you actually have your own guess, don't you?"
Iliescu nodded, although Nicolai is a Romanian, and Romanian is spoken very locally, but he has a very strong way, and the cigarette in his hand is still a very rare Chinese cigarette, if he has no connection with the Chinese side, it is doubtful.
However, this is even more incomprehensible to Iliescu, who also knows a little about China, a socialist country in Asia, with the largest population in the world, which used to seem to be very poor and backward, but in recent years has shown amazing military strength and international influence, and it seems that he has recently heard some well-informed guys talk about China, which seems to be supporting Yugoslavia in a big way to carry out economic reforms and help them out of their predicament. Some colleagues also ridiculed the Yugoslavs for their illness and went to the doctor, and China could not take care of it itself, so how could it take care of Yugoslavia.
However, Iliescu does not see it that way, and although both the West and the United States have provided some economic assistance, it has been accompanied by huge and unattainable strings that make it seem that instead of helping a country out of its predicament, Iliescu will stomp them to the ground. Counting on any good intentions in the West is basically a weasel giving a New Year's greeting to a chicken.
Iliescu asked a question that he was puzzled by, "Why are you so keen to help the socialist countries of Eastern Europe, I remember that their relations with the countries of Eastern Europe were not very good, and Eastern Europe is so far away from East Asia, what kind of help can it be for themselves?" ”
"The problem is not in pure geopolitics and national interests, but now is the lowest ebb of the international communist movement, and if we cannot maintain the continued operation and continuous development of socialism in some countries, then the construction and development of the socialist system in the world will inevitably face even greater difficulties in the future. We want our friends to be free to choose their social system, but we also want to be as close to us as possible. We are also more worried that the West will take advantage of this opportunity to wreak havoc on the whole of Eastern Europe, undermine the foundation of these countries' development for decades, and eventually turn them harmless and become their pawns and puppets. ”
Iliescu said: "Then how can you guarantee that Romania will not become your puppet? ”
Nicolai spread his hands and said: "The people who operate this matter are all insiders of the Romanian Communist Party and some social figures, the country you will establish in the future is of course your own decision, although we are willing to help, but we will not point fingers at the future of Romania, the only thing we hope to gain is the friendship of the Romanian people." ”
Iliescu nodded, "I hope what you say is true. "Jan? Iliescu was surprised to see a small-looking black-haired Caucasian man sitting at the table, not very tall, even a little thin, not unlike the average Romanian on the street.
The first reaction was that this was a Romanian secret police, and Iliescu was used to being followed and surveilled, and even raided interrogations, so if it was someone from these secret services, it would not be strange to appear in his house.
