Compared with the Empress Maria and Nicholas I, Li Xiaofeng is more concerned about practical issues, and what is the state of the Black Sea Fleet, especially the officers and men of the Black Sea Fleet staying in Sevastopol, or what attitude they hold, this is what he is most concerned about.

The repair and construction of the ships was of complete secondary importance, and if the men had already separated themselves from the Bolsheviks, the effort to repair the ships would only be a marriage for men.

To this, the answer given by Eberhardt was not optimistic: "The officers and soldiers are in a mood, the officers are dissatisfied with the Brest Treaty, and the soldiers are ...... Tsk, the soldier's emotions are complicated, hey......"

Li Xiaofeng felt more and more uncomfortable, the officers had a problem, it was better to say, it was a big deal to take them all, although this would inevitably affect the combat effectiveness, but the impact on the combat effectiveness was better than the mutiny.

However, Eberhardt said that now it is not only the officers who have problems, but also the soldiers who have emotions, and this is tricky. No matter how awesome Li Xiaofeng is, he can't take down all the soldiers, right?

Li Xiaofeng was about to ask for an explanation, but Boris interjected: "The mood of the soldiers is really bad, as I said just now, many soldiers are also dissatisfied with some of the Cheka's practices!" Now they dare not speak out! ”

Eberhardt shook his head: "It's worse than this, according to what I know, Ukrainian soldiers are no longer a matter of resentment and anger, a considerable part of them are already half-hearted, and they are no longer willing to obey the orders of the fleet committee and your Bolshevik Central Committee!" ”

Li Xiaofeng was taken aback, and he asked, "Are they ready to join the White Army?" ”

Eberhardt smiled and said, "That's not true, they don't have a good impression of the White Army. Let's put it this way. Part of the Ukrainian soldiers had the idea of independence. They prefer to serve an independent Ukraine! ”

Li Xiaofeng exclaimed: "The Central Rada of Ukraine? ”

Eberhardt snorted contemptuously, "That's right. It's that bullshit, now the biggest influence on the fleet is not the Red Army or the White Army, but the Central Rada! ”

Although Li Xiaofeng also looked down on the Central Rada, he knew that these goods did not play a good role in the tragedy of the Black Sea Fleet. Historically, after the uprising, this gang of goods was hit by the double blows of the Bolsheviks and the Germans, and was almost dying. In February 1918. When the Germans launched a stormy attack and forced the Bolsheviks to agree to the Brest Treaty. These people rushed up and hugged the German thighs, and did a lot of traitorous things.

At that time, these guys who fought for the independence and freedom of Ukraine were as brain-dead as the current Ukrainian interim government (it seems that they are indeed hereditary), and they were on the front line of anti-Soviet and anti-Russian. Interestingly, though, a month or two later, the Central Rada was abandoned by the Germans, who didn't like it either, and directly fostered the more obedient "Hetman" Skoropadsky (this is probably the fate of being a dog).

However, the current history is a little different, although the Central Rada of Ukraine is in the same recession. But without the intervention of the Germans, Skoropatsky would not have been able to take power on his own. And the main attention of the Red Army and the White Army was not on them either. So in the central and western parts of Ukraine, the Central Rada is still very influential. Especially for ordinary Ukrainians, their appeal is not small, and many Ukrainians see the Central Rada as a legitimate regime.

And this tendency does not only affect ordinary Ukrainians, but for Ukrainian sailors serving in the Black Sea Fleet, it seems that the Central Rada also has a greater sense of belonging. After all, the White Army is not a thing, and the Red Army does not seem to be a good bird, and after thinking about it, it is more attractive to create an independent Ukraine and form a navy belonging to Ukraine.

After the two sister ships of the Empress Maria, the Free Russia (formerly Catherine) and the Will (formerly Alexander III), fled from Sevastopol in a hurry under German fire and arrived in Novorossiysk, the captain of the Will, the Ukrainian Admiral Tikhmenev, led the Will and a group of other fleets with Ukrainians to return to Sevastopol in defiance of Lenin's self-sinking order.

At that time, this group of Ukrainians naively thought that by defecting to the Germans, they would be defecting to the new independent Ukrainian government (historically, according to the Brest Treaty, Ukraine would be independent), ready to contribute a large navy to the new motherland.

Of course, the result was hilarious, and the Tikhmenevs, who were full of joy and ready to serve their homeland, returned to Sevastopol, which was controlled by the Germans, and were thrown off the ship in disarray. The Germans will not allow the puppet state to have any big navy, and the main forces of the former Black Sea Fleet were completely laughed at by the German Navy.

It can be seen that Ukraine's political elites, both in the past and now, are quite funny, always kneeling and climbing on the pole to hug their thighs, and then they are always ruthlessly kicked away.

However, in this historical time and space, Li Xiaofeng does not allow these Ukrainian jokes to spoil his own good deeds. Without the Germans and their blind toss, the Black Sea Fleet was several times better after the war. A certain immortal has spent so much effort, but he doesn't want to accept a mess.

"What does the Fleet Council think about this?" He asked.

"The Fleet Council has no opinion," said Eberhardt dejectedly, "and they tend to stand still and adapt to change." ”

This kind of coping strategy, don't say Eberhardt, even Li Xiaofeng doesn't like it, isn't this just waiting for death!

"Looks like I have to do something!" Li Xiaofeng muttered, but before he could finish speaking, Ivanov ran in: "Comrade Andrei, there is a major discovery in Odessachka!" ”

"What's the big discovery?" Li Xiaofeng asked indifferently.

Ivanov said with a happy face: "They have confirmed that the two counter-revolutionaries you ordered wanted are operating in Odessa!" ”

"Oh?" Li Xiaofeng rolled his eyelids, just now he also said that it was impossible for those two people to go to Odessa, Nikolaev and Kherson, who would have thought that they would be slapped in the face so soon, he asked: "Is the intelligence reliable?" ”

Ivanov said with a happy face: "Very sure. They took pictures of the suspects. After checking. It is highly consistent with the image on the wanted notice! ”

"Oh?" Li Xiaofeng raised his eyebrows, began to pay attention, and continued to ask, "They have already captured the suspect?" ”

Ivanov smiled bitterly: "The suspect is very cunning, and the photo was taken by accident, and the hiding place of the suspect has not been found yet, but it can be determined that they are in Odessa!" ”

Li Xiaofeng glanced up at Ivanov, and he didn't know why Lu Dao suddenly became excited. It's just that I found some clues, I'm glad to be a fart!

However, Ivanov did not understand the thoughts of a certain immortal, and he suggested to himself: "I think it is necessary to immediately impose martial law in Odessa, and then carry out a large-scale manhunt, I believe that the suspect will be arrested soon!" ”

"Well," Li Xiaofeng nodded quietly, "Then you can give the order!" Strive for the early arrest of the suspect! ”

Ivanov walked away, he felt that this time the people below had given him a long face, and he had discovered the suspect's traces so quickly. As long as the search intensifies the intensity, it is not yet easy to capture. A counter-revolutionary who could be highly valued by the great leadership of the All-Russian Cheka. It's definitely not a small person, if you can catch them, it will definitely be a great achievement, maybe you can be promoted to a level and a half.

Ivanov, who dreamed of being promoted and making a fortune, didn't know what to do, and the suspect he wanted to arrest was probably not so simple, and he didn't know that Konstantin was just throwing out the bait to distract them. When they shifted their attention to the Odessa direction, Nikolai was to deliver a fatal blow in Sevastopol!

"Mr. Nikolai, how long are you going to keep us waiting?" In Foros, not far from Sevastopol, two hidden conspirators met in secret, but the visitors were clearly dissatisfied with Nikolai's procrastination.

"A little more patience!" Nikolai replied slowly, "The enemy we have to face is extraordinary, Andrei. Petrovich is not easy to deal with. ”

"Isn't it just a hairy boy!" The man said contemptuously, "I don't see anything remarkable about him!" ”

"That's his disguise!" Nikolai replied solemnly, and then added: "All those who underestimate him have paid a heavy price, and for the sake of our common plan, it is better to be careful!" ”

The person who came still didn't think so, and said contemptuously: "You are just too careful, you are a little suspicious." Now a large part of the soldiers and officers at the grassroots level have returned to our side, and as soon as we raise our arms, the Black Sea Fleet will have a new master! ”

"You're too optimistic!" Nikolai shook his head, "It's not that simple, by the way, the two old men, Eberhardt and Boris, have no moves, they must pay attention to!" ”

"I really don't know what you're thinking," the man pouted, "It's just two bad old men who are out of breath, they may have been a little powerful before, but now, they have long since gone to the tea!" ”

Nikolai became more and more dissatisfied with the tone of his voice, he preferred to work with cautious people, and he had no good impression of this kind of self-righteous guy who did not know the height of the sky. If he could choose a collaborator, he would have ruled out this guy first.

"You underestimate Eberhardt and Boris too much, I warn you once at the earliest, underestimate them, and you will be the one who suffers!"

Although the person who came pretended to listen on the surface, he still didn't like it in his heart, just like Nikolai didn't like him, he was also 10,000 dissatisfied with this overly careful collaborator, in his opinion, things were just a kick in the door, and it was taboo to be timid.

"And when exactly are you going to start the operation?"

Nikolai thought for a moment and said, "Only Andrey. Petrovich left Sevastopol before we could move on to the next step! ”

"When is that going to be?" The person who came was a little angry, "If he doesn't leave for the rest of his life, won't we be busy in vain!" ”

Nikolai nodded and replied with certainty: "If he really doesn't leave, then we can only think in the long run!" Seeing that the person was about to get angry, he added: "However, I am not inclined to this method of waiting, in order to lure him away, I have used a little means, but the effect is not particularly ideal, well......"

Speaking of this, he suddenly fell silent, and after a moment of silence, he said, "If you can cooperate with my actions, maybe you can speed up the process!" ”

"What do you need me to do?" The visitor asked impatiently.

"Quite simply, continue to spread the news that Konstantin and I are haunting Odessa. If necessary, try to stage a mutiny in Odessa. Anyway, you have to make the momentum bigger! ”

"That's fine!" The visitor thought for a moment and said. "But is it worth it to expose our arrangements in Odessa?"

"Of course it's worth it!" Nikolai said with certainty, "Compared to Sevastopol, Odessa is nothing, as long as we can win in Sevastopol, Odessa's losses can be made up at any time!" ”

"Okay!" Eventually, Nikolai agreed. However, he still reminded: "Whatever you want to do, please hurry up, my patience is limited!" ”

Nikolai only smiled at this warning, and before the two parted, he suddenly said: "Mr. Skoropatsky, I personally must remind you, pay attention to my companion, Mr. Konstantin. He can be very childish and even bad at times. Strict precautions must be taken against him, and I don't want our plans to fall into his hands again! ”

Skoropatsky smiled and said, "Don't worry. After your last reminder, I have made proper arrangements for Mr. Konstantin. He is now accompanied by a special person 24 hours a day, and nothing can happen! ”

"Then I'll rest assured," Nikolai smiled incomprehensibly, and suddenly added: "The key to the success of our plan this time lies in whether we can transfer Andre. Petrovich, when necessary, we have to pay a certain sacrifice, you understand! ”

Skoropatsky was stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile: "Don't worry, I will definitely let Mr. Konstantin play a vigorous role, and I will definitely let him die as he deserves!" ”

The villain really can't afford to offend, Konstantin only offended Nikolai once before, and he was put to death by him, which shows how vicious this Nikolai is. However, he was not entirely communiqué personal vendettas, and after saying goodbye to Skoropatsky, he hurried back to his hideout, where the British spy Learvine had been waiting for a long time.

"Are things going well?" Learvin asked nonchalantly.

"All the best!" Nikolai bowed his head and cautiously replied, "He has promised to attract Andrei in Odessa. Petrovich's attention, so that we can carry out the operation in Sevastopol! ”

"Good!" Learwin nodded and praised, "Pay close attention to Andre. Petrovich's movements, wait for him to leave Sevastopol, we can do it! ”

Nikolai glanced at Learvin, and stopped talking. And how could such an expression escape Lierwen's eyes, and she immediately asked, "What else is the matter?" ”

Nikolai asked in a slurred manner: "It is really necessary to pay so much attention to Andrei. Petrovich? Mr. Skoropatsky was already dissatisfied with this and was impatient, in case Andrei. Petrovich is not fooled, what shall we do? ”

Learwin said categorically: "Then give up this plan!" ”

"What!" Nikolai was taken aback, in order to regain control of the Black Sea Fleet, countless work was done within the White Army, the Entente, and great risks, and it seemed that the cost of giving up everything just because of one person was too great.

"Looks like you still haven't listened to me!" Learwin snorted coldly and warned, "That man is even more terrible than you think, he alone destroyed our spy network in Russia...... At the slightest carelessness, he will be alerted that we cannot afford a second loss. If that never works, we'll have to do it all over again! There is no room for negotiation, and anyone who tries to go brute is considered treason...... You know what that means! ”

Nikolai stopped talking, he understood the seriousness of this warning too well. However, he was still very curious, such a big plan should be operated by a veteran like Li Erwen himself, but on the contrary, this woman is just commanding remotely from the air, as if she is hiding from someone, is someone so terrible?

If Learvin could hear Nikolai's heart, he would probably add: "Someone is even more terrible than you think!" ”

That guy seemed to be proficient in some occult tricks, and she had the pleasure of seeing one or two last time. And the reason why she didn't take action personally this time was to prevent this, she always felt that her whereabouts were completely under the control of the other party, and it was best to stay away from someone for safety.

After Nikolai left, Learvin did not hesitate to evacuate the secret junction site, "Go to Simferopol, quick!" ”

So, did Li Xiaofeng perceive the existence of Li Erwen?

It should be said that there is no! He didn't think in the direction of Lilvin at all, after all, it was Lilvin who told him that Kolchak was going to make a ghost in the Black Sea Fleet. If Learwin really has any plans in the direction of the Black Sea, then there is no need to tell him solemnly, otherwise it is not a cocoon?

However, Li Xiaofeng didn't expect that Li Erwen did this completely deliberately, and she wanted to mislead an immortal through this means, so that an immortal would not be aware of her role in this matter.

Of course, according to Li Erwen's initial estimate, someone shouldn't pay too much attention to her news, but who would have thought that a certain immortal would be "dispatched" to the Black Sea by mistake.

Truth be told, Learvin regrets it now. Fortunately, the matter of the Black Sea Fleet is more complicated than Li Xiaofeng imagined, the forces of the Entente, the White Army and Skoropatsky are all involved, and there are even forces hidden behind the scenes, and someone is now only aware of the existence of one or two forces at most, for Li Erwen, it is not that there is no chance of revenge!
