501 Moves

Li Xiaofeng, who had been smooth sailing since 1918, suffered his first blow, and Lenin told him very decisively what politics is, politics is a game that only talks about interests, and in the face of absolute interests, factions and hostility are just a drizzle.

At this point, Li Xiaofeng still has to step up his study, after all, this is just the beginning, with the civil war basically over, with the arrival of the period of isolation of the Great Blockade, the struggle within the party is the mainstream. And in this kind of internal struggle, we must learn to proceed from interests in order to convince people!

Of course, Li Xiaofeng's report was not completely useless, at least let the tutor know the truth of the matter, even if the truth was not so important, but it could be used to knock Trotsky. For example, Trotsky was originally prepared to take most of the credit on himself, highlighting how wise and powerful he was as chairman of the Military Commission.

However, with Li Xiaofeng's report, Lenin was able to curb his idea and divide the credit equally among the Politburo. At least that's what Pravda says in its editorial: "Under the correct leadership and direct command of the Politburo, the great Red 25th Army forced Kolchak to surrender in one fell swoop, and this devil against the people had to bow his head to the Russian people......"

"It's all fucking bullshit!" Dissatisfied, Li Xiaofeng crumpled the newspaper into a ball, threw it into the trash, and then said to Yakov, who was sitting opposite: "You now know how ruthless and unreasonable politics is, right? ”

Yakov only pouted, in fact he had known about the hypocrisy of politics for a long time, and he had no interest in the alleged credit. If he had a choice, he would prefer to get out of this qiΔ“ right away. For the rest of his life, he prefers to accompany Natalia to live a peaceful and simple life.

But the choice is clearly not on his side. He had already boarded the thief ship of a certain immortal, and he could only go one way to the dark.

"How are you going to seize that gold?" He changed the subject.

Li Xiaofeng glanced at Yakov. He did not answer the question immediately, because he was now very unhappy, like a child who had been robbed of a lollipop, and what he wanted to do more was to take revenge on Trotsky and slap him in the face. As for the problem of Shenma Gold, he never took it as a problem.

"I'm learning from my experience and lessons!" Li Xiaofeng changed the topic again, "This time I made a mistake, before leaving Kolchak. I should have informed the Central Committee first and only spoke afterwards, which is a bad thing! ”

Indeed, after the fact, especially when Trotsky had finished making up the story and reported it to the Central Committee, no matter how you look at it, there is a suspicion of stealing credit. In particular, if someone is still an important figure of the Leninists, no matter how you look at it, it seems that the credit of the Leninists and the Trotskyists is the same. I have to say that the effect is very bad. Even Lenin had to weigh up the matter, and even if Trotsky's story was not so perfect, the teacher could not let the credit fall into someone's hands.

Yakov remained silent, because he could see that someone was actually angry. It's a fight against yourself, in this case. It's useless to say anything. What's more, someone's temper is still very bad, and if they don't do it well, it will be self-defeating.

Li Xiaofeng looked at Yakov, who was speechless, and felt a little bored. The reason why he said this just now was that he seemed very angry. Actually, it was more important to win over Yakov. Now that this guy has been chosen as the most important assistant, it is inevitable that he cannot be treated with the same attitude as before.

Li Xiaofeng felt the need to be soft, to make Yakov feel that he was a good boss, and to make Yakov willing to work for him. That's why he will express his anger in a cotentious manner, and he will help Yakov to fight for credit, otherwise, with the temper of a certain immortal, how could he not report to the Central Committee in advance?

But who would have thought that someone didn't care about this qiΔ“ at all, and was as cold as an outsider. This attitude made Li Xiaofeng a little hurt and helpless. After a while, he had to abandon the subject - forget it, let's move on to the question of gold.

For this batch of gold, Li Xiaofeng is determined to obtain, more than 1,000 tons of gold, no matter what period this is a huge amount of wealth. Moreover, the whereabouts of this batch of gold in history are unknown, and to put it bluntly, it is the wealth of the ownerless. If this wealth can be mastered, in the twenties and thirties, all the plans of a certain immortal will not be short of funds.

However, there are many problems in getting hold of this batch of gold. First of all, Li Xiaofeng can't show the carriage and horses to rob the gold, if he goes to grab the gold under the banner of the State Political Security Bureau, then this batch of gold will definitely not fall into his hands in the end, and it must be handed over to the public.

And Li Xiaofeng doesn't want to hand over the public at all, what is the benefit of the public being handed over to him? It may mean a credit that can help him get a Red Banner Medal. The question is that medals can be better than real money?

To put it mildly, if Li Xiaofeng wants a medal, he can learn from Benezhynev, and after he comes to power, he will award himself a medal, which is not a difficult thing.

As for gaining the favor of the mentor and adding points to his political career, he may have the benefit of handing over the gold to the public, but wouldn't it be more beneficial to swallow this batch of gold privately and give him a helping hand when the mentor encountered many financial difficulties?

Therefore, it is obvious that Li Xiaofeng cannot use his official power to grab gold in the name of the National Political Security Bureau. On the contrary, he had to keep a low profile and could only do it secretly. Of course, with his ability, it is not difficult for a person to grab gold, to tell the truth, with his ability, no one can stop him from directly hitting the door to grab this batch of gold.

The question is that you can't do that, why? Because there are many people staring at this batch of gold at the moment, if he grabs it openly, he will inevitably be exposed. When the time comes, the news leaks to the Tutor or to Trotsky, and asks him to hand it over?

With the urine nature of the Entente, this viciousness was absolutely contrived, and even if the Mentor and Trotsky were not aware of it, the stinky rascals would have found a way to let the two Mentors know about it. At that time, Li Xiaofeng's trouble will be even greater, and if he doesn't get it right, he will fall out of favor.

Therefore, it is definitely not possible to rob the magic horse. God must unknowingly take away this gold. It would be better to have a reasonable reason why this gold is missing. It is better to turn into an unsolved mystery, as in history.

It's hard to do that, though. The objective conditions are not met. For example, in history, Kolchak was defeated in winter, and the remnants of his defeated army crossed Lake Baikal in the ice, and this gold has the legend of sinking to the bottom of the bottomless lake.

It's a pity that it's summer, and the sun is shining, unless the white army has a brain convulsion, he will run to the lake. Therefore, it must not work to take away the gold and create the illusion that the gold is sinking to the bottom of the lake, and it cannot be justified!

So these days, Li Xiaofeng has been thinking about how to find a substitute for the dead ghost, how good would it be if someone could help him carry this black cauldron?

"Your Excellency. Guess what I found? ”

Li Xiaofeng looked at the one-eyed Peter who was trying to ask for credit angrily, didn't this guy see that he was thinking about the problem? These guys from the underworld just don't know how to read words and looks, and they don't have any eyesight at all.

Li Xiaofeng was about to teach him a lesson, but Yakov preemptively asked, "What did you find?" ”

Li Xiaofeng can not give face to the one-eyed Peter, but he has to give Yakov a little face, he still wants to win over Yakov just now, he can't even care about this little thing, right?

One-eyed Peter looked at Yakov and then at Li Xiaofeng, and it was clear that Yakov did not have much status in his mind. For this former one-eyed dragon, there is only one master. Yakov was just another dog of his master.

"Say it! What was found? Li Xiaofeng asked angrily.

One-eyed Peter hurriedly said: "Semyonov met with the Japanese yesterday and talked about the issue of gold. Didn't you command? As long as there is information related to gold, we must notify you as soon as possible. ”

Li Xiaofeng thought about it, it seemed that he had given such an order. This made his opinion of One-Eyed Peter much better, and it was true that this guy didn't have much ability, but loyalty and obedience were no problem. It would be nice if Yakov, who was as cold as an iceberg next to him, was as obedient as this one.

"You're doing the right thing." Li Xiaofeng praised the one-eyed Peter and asked, "What exactly did they talk about?" ”

This question made One-Eyed Peter speechless for a moment, as I said just now, his ability is problematic, although he also blended into the ranks of the White Army, but he really didn't mix too high-level, and he couldn't get those particularly confidential and secret information.

One-eyed Peter was stunned for a moment before replying: "I don't know exactly what they talked about, they talked in secret, and it took a lot of effort for my brother to hear a few words, which seemed to involve the Taoist arms deal and gold or something......"

Li Xiaofeng pursed his lips, this answer really didn't satisfy him, but he also understood that One-Eyed Peter only had such great ability, and it was not easy to get this news. So he decided to give the guy a compliment.

"Well done," Li Xiaofeng casually threw out two gold bars, "keep an eye on Semenov, and let me know as soon as he meets with the Japanese again!" ”

However, Peter One-Eyed did not take the gold bar, not because he didn't like money, but because there was something more valuable than gold at this moment.

"Your Excellency, can you give me some urgently needed supplies, such as cigarettes, alcohol, and the like? These are much more useful than gold......"

Yakov also added: "Now the supplies are very tight, and if you want to buy eyeliner, the materials are more effective than gold!" ”

Li Xiaofeng nodded, but he didn't take back the gold, but said very generously: "These two gold bars are a reward for you, from now on, as long as you can get information, I will give whatever materials you want, and the quantity is not limited!" ”

The one-eyed Peter happily walked away with the gold bars in his hand, and now he was full of energy, and he had the intention of buying all the people around Semyonov in one go. Of course, this is impossible, anyway, Li Xiaofeng doesn't expect too much from this guy.

"Do you have eyeliner next to Semyonov?" Li Xiaofeng turned to Yakov.

Yakov nodded: "Yes, I'll ask right away." ”

When Yakov returned, the main content of Semenov's conversation with Kuroto was no secret to Li Xiaofeng. And the sudden intervention of the Japanese allowed a certain immortal to find some inspiration.

At the same time, Liervin also arrived in Omsk, and had to admit that this female spy was really powerful. Under the banner of the Cheka, she made her way unhindered to Chabaev's headquarters.

"Comrade Division Commander, I'm Konstantin. Nikolaevich. Appointed by Comrade Rykov. Come on a special mission. He said. Learvin handed the documents and the letter of introduction to Furmanov.

After taking the documents and the letter of introduction, Furmanov carefully examined them, and then nodded to Chabaev.

Learvin's documents are, of course, genuine, and in fact they were taken from that poor Constantine. Nikolayevich snatched it there. As soon as the poor correspondent arrived in Kazan, he was charmed by the incomparably beautiful Liervin, and he became a ghost under the pomegranate skirt.

"Comrade Konstantin, welcome. We've been waiting for you for a long time! Chabaev happily shook Liervin's hand, and then asked: "What needs to be done by us?" Do you just command? ”

Why was Chabaev so enthusiastic about Liervin? The reason is very simple, before Trotsky could be said to have given him a miracle for nothing, although the propaganda machine qì made Chabaev blush a little, but as a soldier, who doesn't like merit?

Moreover, Chabaev could not be said to have been in vain, and Kolchak was indeed captured by his troops, which seemed to him and Furmanov to be in no doubt. And they can also understand the propaganda of the Central Committee, can discredit Kolchak, can hit the morale of the White Army, why not?

Of course. Chabaev was also very grateful to Trotsky, who made up the story, if it were not for the story made up by the chairman of the Military Commission. His credit is definitely not so great. And now that the chairman of the Central Military Commission, who has been kind to him, has sent a commissioner, he must be enthusiastic about public and private affairs, as well as in reasonableness.

Liervin was pleased with Chabaev's enthusiasm, and for her it was a reward to be able to achieve her goals with the help of the Bolsheviks. She really wanted some of the immortals to see this, so that someone could know that the Cheka was nothing more than a toy in her hands.

"Thank you, Comrade Division Commander." Li Erwen did not greet Chabayev too much, but chose to cut directly to the point: "The text I am going to read next belongs to the top secret of the Soviet Union and the party, comrade division commander and comrade political commissar, you must guarantee with your party spirit that you will never leak a word!" ”

Chabaev and Furmanov looked at each other in surprise, although they had understood before that it was definitely unusual for the Military Commission and the Cheka to suddenly send a commissioner, but they didn't expect that it would be unusual to this Cheng dΓΉ, top secret? What is the nature of this?

Suddenly, the two of them cheered up, and they didn't even dare to come out, and pricked up their ears to listen to Li Erwen read out the order.

The order was actually very simple, it was nothing more than to let Chabaev, Furmanov and the officers and men of the 25th Division fully cooperate with the commissioner in carrying out their work, anyway, the nonsense and slogans of the bar-la-la took up most of the space at once. It was only at the end that the most crucial word was mentioned - gold!

"Comrades, our task is very difficult! We must not live up to the high expectations of the Central Committee, and we must do our utmost to regain the gold from the treasury stolen by the Kolchak bandits, which is of extremely important importance to the Soviets and the Russian people! ”

Chabaev and Furmanov were stunned, they had heard about Kolchak's gold before, but they didn't take it too seriously. And now, the news has been confirmed, and they suddenly feel a lot of pressure.

"Comrade Konstantin, give the order! What does the center need us to sit on? ”

Li Erwen nodded with satisfaction: "Very good!" Your task is to pursue as quickly as you can, to catch up with the White Army. ”

Chabaev immediately said: "There are no problems, we will immediately concentrate our forces and immediately pursue the enemy!" β€œ

Learwin nodded again and said, "I will act with you!" Also, keep an eye out for the person in this photo, who is the head of the Entente secret service and whose mission is to sabotage our operation to reclaim gold...... According to reliable information, this person has already lurked in Omsk, and most likely even in the ranks of our revolution, and we must capture him at any cost! ”

Furmanov took the photo and looked at it, and was a little skeptical, because the person in the photo was too young to look like the head of the Entente secret service.

"Don't be careless, let alone despise this person." "This man had planned the assassination of Comrades Lenin and Trotsky, and had almost succeeded in doing so," Learwin emphasized. He is the number one enemy of the revolution! ”

Of course, needless to say, this "number one enemy of the revolution" must be Li Xiaofeng, Li Erwen's hand is really ruthless, and Chabaev and Furmanov, who are not in the know, will definitely spare no effort to capture the important enemy of a certain immortal under the instigation of this "commissioner". Even if they can't succeed, they will inevitably bring a lot of trouble to a certain immortal, and if the actions of a certain immortal fall short because of this, then someone will really become a laughing stock.

Obviously, what Learvin wants most is this result, that is, he wants to slap someone in the face, that is, he wants to prove that he is better than someone.

Of course, Lilvin is not alone in his eyes on a certain immortal at this moment, in Irkutsk, an important railway hub city at the southern end of Lake Baikal. There is also an old friend of Li Xiaofeng waiting for him.

"Your Excellency, you are sure that Andrey. Petrovich will definitely come? A middle-aged man dressed as a monk asked.

In the darkness opposite him, a shadow raised its head slowly but very forcefully, and replied in an unquestioning tone: "He will come, he will not allow this gold to be shipped out of Russia, that fellow will definitely come and take it!" (To be continued......)
