240 And there is another change
Li Xiaofeng's last words moved Lenin, yes, there is nothing to lose by trying. For the Mentor, whether or not to kill the family of Nicholas II depended solely on political interests. If there is great benefit to killing this family, then why not keep them?
After thinking for a long time, Lenin finally made his position clear: "Andrey, I agree to make such an attempt, but your proposal still needs to be discussed by the Politburo, and the final result will be decided by the Central Committee." Of course, I am very satisfied with your positive work attitude! If there are similar groundbreaking suggestions in the future, you can tell me! The Party and the People's Commissariat are now facing great difficulties and urgently need the means to break the predicament! ”
Li Xiaofeng was of course happy to be praised, but the tutor did not say anything to death, and did not promise him that he would definitely let the Central Committee approve his proposal. And the attitude of the Central Committee towards the Tsar's family was not much better than that of the previous mentor. And there are a lot of people there, and if you don't get it right, there will be moths.
"Comrade Lenin, I don't think there is any need to immediately consult the Central Committee on the question of the fate of Nicholas II's family!" ”
Lenin stared at the goods sharply, because such a proposal was very unappreciated by the Teacher, and it meant to flout the authority of the Central Committee, which his old man had been doing.
"Comrade Andrey, what do you mean by that?" The Mentor asked with a straight face.
Li Xiaofeng was also bold, and met the gaze of the tutor, and said without changing his face and heartbeat: "If this issue is immediately submitted to the Central Committee for discussion." I'm afraid it's another bit of a rhetoric. And it's also hard to discuss what the results are. A possibility is not ruled out. It's just leaking news...... As you know, since we officially launched the armed revolution, every time we are faced with a major issue, there are always some comrades who have to make some inexplicable choices...... I'm worried that the news will leak out. And you know, once the news leaks out, it is very likely that the counter-revolutionaries who are ready to make a big fuss about Nicholas II's family will take action in advance......"
Lenin stopped talking, and this possibility is really not small. Even after the previous turmoil, the discipline of the Central Committee has been greatly improved, but no one can guarantee that no one will follow the example of Kamenev, Zinoviev, and Bukharin, and make brain-dead moves. And it is not excluded that people have leaked the news unintentionally.
"So what do you think is the safest way to do it?" Lenin asked with a smile.
Li Xiaofeng replied firmly: "I think it is entirely possible to transfer Nicholas II's family to Petrograd or Moscow first, and hand them over to the Cheka for strict monitoring." And then slowly solve his problem step by step......"
Lenin nodded and said: "I have no opinion on handing over the family of Nicholas II to your Cheka supervision." But you said that you want to solve this problem step by step and slowly, it seems that Andre has a whole plan! Speak it up and listen to it! ”
Li Xiaofeng was waiting for this sentence, and he replied confidently: "My plan is like this. First of all, to ensure that the family of Nicholas II is firmly under control, so that they cannot be exploited by counter-revolutionaries with ulterior motives; Secondly. When the situation in the country gradually stabilized, a special court was set up to openly try the Tsar's family. Clarify his guilt and give a fair sentence......"
"Slow down!" Lenin interrupted him and asked: "Try him in public, Andrei, do you know what the consequences will be if you do this?" ”
Li Xiaofeng still replied with confidence: "This will represent a new chapter for Russia and will enter a new era!" ”
"Don't talk to me about this uselessness," said Lenin angrily, "what kind of punishment do you think is appropriate for the public trial of Nicholas II for his crimes?" He almost certainly died! So, is there any difference between executing him now? ”
"Of course there is a difference!" Li Xiaofeng is still very confident, "The crime committed by Nicholas II is indeed the only one that the death penalty is most suitable." But, Comrade Lenin, there are also many kinds of death penalty. For example, we could have sentenced him to death with a suspended execution......"
Deferred execution?
Lenin now fully understood what someone was calculating, and it was not easy for the Bolsheviks, who represented the interests of the proletariat, to give an account of the hatred of the Russian proletariat for Nicholas II without sentencing him to death. But as mentioned earlier, killing that guy is not the best option.
So the best way to do this is to give a reprieve, to give an account to the people, yes, we have made clear all his crimes, and we must also punish him with death, and we Bolsheviks are fully determined to do so. However, killing the emperor is a big deal after all, and it doesn't take a process anyway, so don't do it immediately for the time being, and when the time comes, it's not too late to solve Nicholas II!
To put it bluntly, this is a means of flickering, and it can be explained up and down. As for how long the reprieve lasts, take your time, anyway, that guy is also a turtle in the urn, are you still afraid that he will be able to escape?
Lenin was very satisfied with this proposal, and if the problem of Nicholas II could be solved reasonably and legally according to this plan of operation, and there would be no need to immediately go to work for the Central Committee. It saved him a lot of trouble, avoided him from paying too much political price, and the result was completely expected.
"Very well," said Lenin happily, "I will propose to the Politburo later that the family of Nicholas II be transferred to Petrograd at once and placed under your strict care!" ”
Li Xiaofeng finally breathed a sigh of relief, because the mentor fully understood what he meant, and immediately proposed to the Central Committee that the family of Nicholas II be reformed through labor, I am afraid that the resistance is very great, and the result is very difficult to say.
But there's no need to make this suggestion right away! The Mentor could have used the situation as an excuse to make sure that Nicholas II's family would not flee and be used by counter-revolutionaries, and it would not be too much to change their place of imprisonment, right? When the time is ripe in the future, and then step by step to solve the problem of this family, isn't that a matter of course?
And that's exactly what Mentor means now. Not surprisingly. The Politburo will certainly not put obstacles in the way on this issue. Anyway, they didn't know the true intentions of Master Ludao. As long as Nicholas II is in the hands of Li Xiaofeng, under his supervision, this family will not be able to turn over any tricks, and it will also ensure that his life is worry-free. It can be said that Li Xiaofeng successfully fooled the tutor and solved the problem that Princess Anne gave him very cunningly.
Of course, side effects are not without them, because the Mentor is a person who is good at drawing inferences, and someone has come up with a new proposal to solve the problems of the royal family and the old aristocracy. It greatly expanded his horizons and gave him a new perspective on related issues.
"Your proposal is very constructive!" LENIN SAID WITH GREAT JOY, AND THERE WAS AN INEXPLICABLE EXCITEMENT IN HIS TONE, AS IF HE HAD DISCOVERED THE NEW CONTINENT, "THE SIMPLE AND BRUTAL PHYSICAL ANNIHILATION OF THE EXPLOITING CLASS IS TOO CRUDE AND INEFFICIENT TO REFLECT THE ADVANCED NATURE OF MARXISM...... Some of our old comrades simply follow their senses, blinded by hatred...... Thoroughly transform these exploiters, so that they can say goodbye to the original class and the original position. TURN THEM INTO PROPAGANDISTS OF MARXISM. That's the most efficient way to do it! Andrey, you've really opened my eyes! ”
Li Xiaofeng felt a little uneasy for no reason. Whenever the Mentor was excited or angry, nothing good seemed to happen. He wanted to get out of the office right away, because he felt like he was going to have bad luck again.
But it was too late, and Lenin patted the man on the shoulder and said approvingly: "In this way, it is necessary for the arrested members of the royal family and the old aristocracy to be reformed...... This is a very good experiment, and if we can produce practical results, then we will have more say in the future on the issue of reforming Nicholas II, and we will be able to convince the more stubborn comrades more smoothly! ”
Li Xiaofeng opened his mouth, and he wanted to say, "Master Mentor, please ask for another master!" This brother is really not good at it! ”
But Lenin did not give him a chance to refuse, and he said to himself: "It was so decided, and Grand Duke Mikhail was the most suitable entry point." Comrade Andrei, I order you to immediately use all your abilities and make sure to transform Grand Duke Mikhail well! I'm impatient to see the results of your work, hahaha......"
When he left Lenin's office, Li Xiaofeng didn't want to mention how greasy he was, he just wanted to save Nicholas II's family, and by the way, disgust the European royal family. Who would have thought that he would lift a stone and shoot himself in the foot, not only did he get the hot potato Nicholas II's family, but even the younger brother of this goods was sent over as a gift by the mentor. Nima, what's this called!
But the wood is already in the boat, and it's too late for him to complain, who will let him die. Do you really think that the mentor is so easy to fool? It is conceivable that if he can't reform Grand Duke Mikhail well, then the family of Nicholas II will definitely be killed.
"What? Labor reform? What is this? "Makvi is confused, there has never been a word of labor reform in Russia, and hard labor is very common, is labor reform a new version of hard labor?
"Not hard labor!" Li Xiaofeng really feels that he is talking about chickens and ducks, but this body is his own fault, who makes him unable to control his little friends, the lower half of his body is happy, doesn't he need to pay the price?
"It is through labor to achieve the goal of reforming people, that is, to combine punishment and control with ideological transformation, and to combine labor production with political education, adhering to the principle of reform first and production second, not only imposing military control and forced labor on criminals, but also carrying out ideological and political education, giving them revolutionary humanitarian treatment in life, and urging them to change from evil to good and become new people. Do you understand? ”
Li Xiaofeng didn't explain, but after explaining, Mackwi was even more confused, and this guy who was born in the exploiting class didn't understand how labor could transform people, let alone what political education was.
Fortunately, Li Xiaofeng didn't expect this product to understand that the real Bolsheviks were better at ideological work, and all he needed Markvik to do was to find a place suitable for labor reform, preferably a farm or something.
Makvi was stupid and innocently asked: "Farms, isn't it a problem, there are many around Petrograd, how big do you need farms?" ”
Li Xiaofeng glared at the goods angrily, "What I want is not an ordinary farm, I want a farm with a remote environment, a guard tower and a power grid!" ”
Mark Vi was taken aback. "What do you need a watchtower and a power grid?"
Li Xiaofeng snorted. "Raise Nicholas II and his brothers and sisters!" ”
Makvey was dumbfounded. He didn't expect that the species raised by a certain immortal's farm were so noble, and in this way, the watchtower and the power grid were trivial, and it seemed necessary to add mines, machine guns, or something to ensure safety.
"Don't be poor, go to the Petrograd area immediately, my request is simple, not too close to Finland, the environment must be secluded. It's best to have uninhabited birds and not see people for a year and a half! ”
Mark Wei thought for a moment and asked, "In what name do you want to operate it?" ”
Li Xiaofeng thought for a while and said: "If you do it in the name of the Cheka, you will say that the farm will be opened to solve the problem of the shortage of materials for the Cheka staff!" ”
Makvi's mind is full of black lines, because someone is simply talking nonsense with his eyes open, and there may be a shortage of supplies everywhere in Russia, but the Cheka led by someone will never have such a problem.
When someone was in charge of the Moskovska Cheka before, the staff may not have been paid much, but a month's supply of grain and oil was definitely eye-catching. Not only the most basic rations, but also the meat, eggs and milk of the Cheka staff were also openly supplied. There are also free cigarettes and liquor, and the small day is called moisturizing.
And after someone exchanged positions with Lunacharsky, the treatment of the Moscokka-Cheka plummeted, and Lunacharsky did not have the ability to engage in materials. It is said that after someone left office, the morale of the Moskva Cheka plummeted, and a considerable number of staff members applied for a transfer to the Petrograd Cheka. At that time, Lunacharsky was very passive for a while.
In other words, for Petrograd Cheka, there is no need to worry about the shortage of materials at all, and building a so-called farm seems like nonsense no matter how you look at it. But since it is the highest superior of Petrograd Cheka to talk nonsense, then there is no way. Anyway, it wasn't Macki's money that was spent, or there was no need to spend any money at all, anyway, all the land and everything was nationalized.
Thinking of this, Macvi was not stressed at all, and he felt that he could take this opportunity to walk around Petrograd and have some fun, so as to relieve the fatigue caused by the recent high-intensity work.
"By the way," Markway was just about to walk out of a certain immortal's office, when he suddenly slapped his head and turned back, "I almost forgot, Miss Victoria called you before, it seems that something is ......"
Li Xiaofeng was a little strange, if he remembered correctly, Victoria should have been in Finland to handle the production of Ambrera and NORINCO. Why did you suddenly look for him? Is there something wrong with Finland?
Li Xiaofeng's hunch is really not wrong, there is indeed a mess in Finland, and the mess is not small! Earlier, Victoria had received a notice from the Finnish Provisional Government, demanding that enterprises, including Ambrera and NORINCO, immediately cease all cooperation and trade with the Russian Soviet Government, otherwise the Finnish Provisional Government would impose a series of sanctions.
"What's going on?" After meeting with Victoria, Li Xiaofeng asked directly.
Victoria replied angrily: "What else can you do, there must be a foreign force to put pressure on the Finnish Provisional Government!" ”
This possibility really exists, and with the urine nature of the Finnish Provisional Government, it is not pleasing to Russia, and I am afraid that without foreign forces to exert pressure, these goods will also take the initiative to find trouble. What's more, these guys now feel that there is someone behind them, and it is the rat who has a gun in his waist to start fighting cats.
"Did they say, how to punish us?" Li Xiaofeng asked with a smile.
Victoria shook her head and said, "No, I just sent someone to deliver this notice." Nothing else! ”
Li Xiaofeng thought for a while and said, "You guys don't pay attention to them first, just do whatever you have to do." These idiots are just a temptation! ”
Victoria, however, was not as confident as him, and asked tentatively, "Is it really just a temptation?" ”
Li Xiaofeng snorted contemptuously: "Of course, it's just a temptation, think about it, what influence does the Finnish Provisional Government have in Vyborg City." Vyborg is now the territory of the Finnish Social Democratic Party (the Bolsheviks' little partner in Finland, so to speak, a family), even if they want to find trouble, do they have the means to implement it? No, birds, they are! ”
Of course, although Li Xiaofeng said that he was not a bird, this does not mean that he will be indifferent and will sit back and watch the Finnish provisional government mess up. Although these people are only testing, if they don't give them a strong signal, these fools who have been carried away by nationalism may really take risks.
Fortunately, Li Xiaofeng had already foreseen that the situation in Finland would come to this point, and he had already prepared the means to deal with this level of temptation, and it was not only a means. On the same day, he sent a strongly worded telegram to Mannerheim, and finally verbally warned him for the last time.
Of course, it was not enough to just give Mannerheim a verbal warning, and Li Xiaofeng's second method was to get the Germans to intervene. In the current Finnish provisional government, the pro-German forces are still relatively strong, and if the Germans can put pressure on them, it will be ten thousand times more useful than mere verbal warnings!
At least Li Xiaofeng felt that it was enough for the Germans to come forward, and he also believed that the Germans were willing to come forward, after all, whether it was methamphetamine or food issues, it depended on Ambrera and the Northern Trading Company.
But is Li Xiaofeng's judgment correct? Is the purpose of the Finns really a temptation? It doesn't seem to be the case at all...... (To be continued......)
PS: Bow again and thank you for the second kill Comrade Potato!
