098 Trouble
Ilya. After the fall of the Alexei Military Academy, the Moscow Committee for the Salvation of the Revolution suffered a heavy blow, killing 70% of its members, including his old friend Nabokov.
Nabokov's death was catastrophic for the Cadets of Moscow and for the Revolutionary Committee for National Salvation. But unacceptability must be accepted, but Bunakov was very skeptical of the Bolsheviks, and he did not believe that Napokov would fight stupidly until he was killed.
He knew the personality of this old friend very well, and that guy would never go to his death when he knew he couldn't do it. He suspected that the Bolsheviks had captured him and then killed him.
Not only is Napokov's death unclear, but Bunakov even suspects that the members of the National Salvation Revolutionary Committee who were surrounded were killed in this way, otherwise it is difficult to explain that there is no one alive.
So for some time, he had been looking for evidence of this, trying to expose the ugly deeds of the Bolsheviks in killing political activists and persecuting personal freedom. Of course, the work did not go smoothly, and all the people present at that time were dead, there were no direct witnesses, let alone direct evidence, and the most infuriating thing was that the Bolsheviks continued to create obstacles for him, so that he could not find out at all.
However, Bunakov is a man of perseverance, he will not give up halfway when he has set his goals, and he believes that hard work pays off, and as long as he is willing to work hard, he will definitely be able to discover the truth. But there's really not much time left for him. When he once again returned from the ruins of the Alexei Military Academy in vain. The secretary told him the bad news that the Bolsheviks had suddenly broken into the Moscow branch of the Cadet Party. Kidnapped three Cadets of the Duma!
The news shocked Bunakov's eyes to pop out, kidnapping? Or is it public? What's going on? At the first time, Bunakov felt that this was alarmism, and that the Bolsheviks, no matter how stupid they were, would not openly kidnap people. You have to know that they are three genuine Duma, not cats and dogs, and the consequences of doing so are simply too serious.
Bunakov felt that the Bolsheviks were not so brain-dead, so he did not immediately go berserk. Instead, he called the Moscow Soviets of Engineer Deputies to report the problem to see if it was a misunderstanding.
Immediately, however, the Soviets of Engineer and Soldier Deputies gave him a bolt from the blue - there was no kidnapping, and the three Dumas had been captured by the special task force of the Venter's counter-revolutionary rebellion on the grounds that they were involved in the conspiracy......
After hearing the news, Bunakov scolded, Nima, this is not JB, Venter is a Bolshevik, he is considered a mutiny. Have a chicken feather relationship with the Cadets?
At that time Bunakov was surprisingly angry, and these days he had not had time to trouble the Bolsheviks. Who would have thought that the other party would come to the door first. Whether it was tolerable or unbearable, he immediately dialed the phone of the Bolshevik Moscow Party Committee, and he was sure to get a reasonable explanation from the other party.
It's a pity that Bunakov took himself too seriously, and the attitude of the Bolshevik Moscow Party Committee was - what are you rightist Socialist-Revolutionaries, we need to report to you when we investigate the case? Do you think you're the ruling party? Fuck off!
Of course, the Moscow Party Committee would not have said these words directly, and sent Bunakov with a very formulaic official tone. However, Bunakov could not get angry, so he could only ask: "But what crime did the three Duma gentlemen commit?" You say that they participated in the counter-revolutionary rebellion, but you have to talk about the evidence, right? If there is no evidence to arrest people indiscriminately, I will ask your Comrade Lenin for an explanation! ”
This is why he is faintly putting pressure on the Moscow Party Committee, wanting to send me away with a few words casually, really when I am a rookie in the political arena on the first day? If you don't give me an explanation, I'll go to Lenin and see who has the headache at that time!
In the face of the threat, the Moscow party committee replied: "Of course, we have evidence, both human and material...... What the? What is the evidence, you ask? I'm sorry, this case is still under investigation, and it is inconvenient to disclose key evidence to you!
Bunakov was dumbfounded, Nima, you're playing tricks on me. Fight this kind of officialdom with me, okay! You can! Angry, he immediately sent a telegram to the Central Committee of the Socialist-Revolutionary Party, demanding immediate pressure on the Bolsheviks to rescue the Cadet Duma, who had been unjustly arrested.
First of all, not every member of the Socialist-Revolutionary Party has a good relationship with the Cadet Party, and it is the Cadet Party that has been arrested anyway, and it is not the Socialist-Revolutionary Party, so we can't be so excited, right?
Secondly, it is the Bolsheviks who now have the right to speak, and this kind of protest telegram is not a bird, and we should hurry up and get down to business, and it is imperative to quickly reorganize the army and regain power. This kind of trivial matter, put aside first, and when you regain power, you can take revenge as much as you want in the future, okay?
This reply didn't make Bunakov angry, but what can be done just to get angry, the Party Central Committee doesn't care about it? What did he do?
Don't say it, this product is really a little stubborn, the Party Central Committee doesn't care, he has to take care of it. At the moment, we are looking for people everywhere, pulling relationships everywhere, mobilizing all the relationship networks to start fishing for people.
Looking around, I found Trotsky, a brother who had previously been a Menshevik and had a so-so relationship with the Social Revolutionaries, and that there was no reason to help him. But these days he is thinking about meddling in Moscow's affairs, and he is also preparing to add fuel to the fire of the contradictions between Stalin and Sverdlov, and he is worried that he has no excuse to meddle in Moscow's affairs.
Trotsky immediately went to find out what was going on, but when he heard that some immortal was doing something, he immediately found it a little tricky. However, since he had promised Bunakov, he could not ignore it, so he sent a telegram to a certain immortal.
Li Xiaofeng's call back was very fast. In the telegram, it was even more straightforward to admit that there was such a thing. I said that sending out Lu to arrest people was indeed what I meant. He even bluntly said that it was impossible to release the people, because: "The counter-revolutionary forces in Moscow are very rampant, and they have colluded with a large number of undetermined party members and cadres like Venter to secretly engage in anti-party and counter-revolutionary activities." In accordance with Comrade Lenin's instructions, we must find out and resolutely crack down on their arrogance......"
Come on, Trotsky understood as soon as he heard it, and I said how someone could go crazy enough to go to trouble the Cadets. Dare is Lenin's meaning, after understanding this, he decisively rejected Bunakov: "This problem is quite complicated, I can't solve it, you'd better not get involved, if you want to get people, go to Lenin." ”
After receiving this news, Bunakov immediately hesitated, and if all this was Lenin's approval, it seemed that it was useless for him to be angry. However, he did not give up and finally sent a telegram to Lenin. Intercede for those three Duma.
In this regard, the mentor's reply was cold: "Do you dare to guarantee that those three people are not counter-revolutionaries?" Do you dare to play this package ticket? As long as you dare to write a letter of guarantee. I ordered Comrade Andrei to release him! What do you think? ”
Bunakov is not stupid, how dare he write this kind of guarantee, whether it is counter-revolutionary or not, it is not up to you Bolsheviks to have the final say, I will write the guarantee on the front foot, and you will convict those three people on the back foot, and then follow the guarantee to implicate me...... Well, I'm really not that stupid!
At this time, Bunakov is really out of options, he has thought of all the ways he can think of, and he has also trusted the relationships that he can trust, it's not that he doesn't pay attention to righteousness, but that the Bolsheviks deceive people too much!
The more I think about Bunakov, the more angry I become, and when people get angry, they tend to get mad, and he has had enough of it during this time, and this time he was put up and down by the Bolsheviks, how could he swallow this breath?
Not to mention, this thing really has crooked tricks, aren't you Bolsheviks awesome? Lao Tzu instigated the media to expose you, think about this headline is more terrifying - in broad daylight, the Moscow Duma was brutally kidnapped...... With a stroke of the pen, he wrote: "...... Such a political environment is simply a retrogression of history, and the wanton and reckless behavior of a certain party is to trample on the judiciary and human rights, and how to ensure the legitimate rights and political freedom of Russian citizens is a question worthy of deep consideration......
Bunakov's calculations were very good, and if this article caused repercussions, if it could attract the attention of some people, then he could take the opportunity to make trouble, and as long as he could create public opinion, he would be sure to make the Bolsheviks passive, and even if he was forced to apologize at the very end, it was to be expected.
In the political arena, if there is no support from public opinion, Bunakov will not dare to participate casually, and if he is implicated, he will also be given a counter-revolutionary hat, then he will not even be able to cry; But with great righteousness, he can stand up with a fair attitude and say strange things without scruples - who asked me to represent the will of the people!
However, this public opinion is not something that can be represented by representatives, and the premise is that the media must be incited first. However, if he wants to mobilize public opinion to make a big fuss, the newspaper must also be able to publish it, right?
When Bunakov had drafted the article and was ready to send it to his newspaper for publication on the front page of the next day. The problem arose again: all the printing houses in Moscow were occupied by the Bolsheviks, and all publications were not allowed to be printed without being censored by the press.
Li Xiaofeng is not a fool, if he wants to carry out rebellion, he must first control the mouths of the media, if they are allowed to report indiscriminately, it will be a big mess. So simply, he gags the mouth of the media - in extraordinary times, in order to ensure the stability of Moscow, in order to prevent the spread of demagogic fake news, news censorship is very necessary!
So, no matter how well Bunnakov calculated, he couldn't go on, how could his kind of thing survive the censorship, unless he published the news in a newspaper in a foreign country, but there was no point in publishing it in a foreign country, and even if public opinion in a foreign country was in an uproar, it would not be able to set off a little wave in Moscow.
Shut the mouth of the media, in Li Xiaofeng's opinion, Bunakov has no choice, hurry up and make the three Duma confess to the law, as long as they admit their guilt, then it is pointless for Bunakov to jump up and down again.
However, it turned out that he was thinking too simply, and just as he was instructing Mark to speed up the interrogation process, Erikson suddenly called him, and one mouth was: "Andre." I heard that your men have captured three Cadet Dumas. Could you please raise your hand? ”
Dare to love. One of these three Duma has a good relationship with the Nobel family, and belongs to the kind of good family, and usually helps the Nobel family to settle troubles. Now that the person has been suddenly arrested, the family is trying to figure out a way in the world, and Erickson, who doesn't know why, is stupidly getting up!
Erikson said, "Isn't my brother in charge of that task force?" In my face, it's not easy to let him raise his hand and let someone out. At that time, I patted my chest and hit the package ticket, promising that people would be embarrassed immediately!
Li Xiaofeng heard the news. Needless to say, he was so tired that he wanted to drop the phone, took a deep breath, he tried to make his voice sound calmer, "Does that guy have a good relationship with you?" ”
"My relationship is average, but he has a good relationship with my uncle, and if I get into trouble, he fishes me out," Erikson said with a big grin, about his ability to listen to words. This guy is not a little bit worse, but he didn't hear that Li Xiaofeng had already refused. "Anyway, you know it, isn't it easy to use?"
"I'm the one who wants to him!" Li Xiaofeng sighed, and said in his heart that your kid's IQ is just like that. Even if you didn't know what I meant before you called, you should know now, right?
"Huh?" Erikson screamed, and he was so surprised that he hesitated for a long time, "I said...... Andrey, that guy just hung a Cadet brand, just a city Duma, as for you to be ruthless? Even if you want to find the authority of the Cadet Party, you should also find a big man, right? ”
Li Xiaofeng said in his heart that you kid knows a fart, Lao Tzu only catches a few miscellaneous fish now, and he has caused a wave of troublemakers and intercessors, if you really want to start with the big guys at the beginning, I won't be annoyed to death?
So he replied directly, "It is impossible to let him out, and the charges of counter-revolution are jokes?" You think it's child's play?! ”
"Don't!" Erikson snorted contemptuously, "Is it counter-revolution or not that you have the final say?" Don't bluff me, okay! Give me a face......"
"What are you calling that?" Li Xiaofeng interrupted him directly, "You don't understand how big this matter is. I'll tell you directly, it's impossible to release people! ”
"Tsk," Erikson snorted, "I said that he was not a small shrimp, and after he came out, I asked him to quit the party immediately and immediately draw a line with the Cadets." What do you think? ”
"It's not good, I said you don't understand anything," Li Xiaofeng sighed, and said helplessly: "That's it, I'll give you a face, you go and do his job, let him be a tainted witness, as long as he can testify against the prisoner according to my requirements, I will consider sending him lightly!" ”
"Hmm......" Erikson finally found out that something was wrong, and he asked suspiciously, "I mean, this is just the beginning?" This batch is just a small trash fish, are you going to engage in strain? ”
"What do you mean by engaging in Zhulian!" Li Xiaofeng snorted, "I'm giving them the opportunity to report and expose Dai for meritorious service." ”
Erikson snorted again, and he could hear that he was not particularly satisfied with this result, although reporting and exposing Dai Guilty and Meritorious Service can save his life, but if he really wants to do this, first of all, he will admit that he is guilty, and he will naturally be punished if he is guilty, and secondly, the report and expose Dai Guilty Meritorious Service is a good thing, but in fact, it is just a random bite, and if you really do this, you will lose all your old face.
"He's not guilty, can you stop doing this," Erikson continued to plead, "What face does he have for doing this?" How else to mix in Russia? You raise your hand, let him go, and give this opportunity to make meritorious contributions to others! ”
Li Xiaofeng finally got angry, Nima, you are still picking fat and thin, not looking at your face, I will give him a hairy chance to make meritorious contributions, and suddenly he spoke coldly: "Are you sure you don't want this opportunity to make meritorious contributions?" ”
Erickson said with a hippie smile: "Everyone is their own person, you don't have to do this!" Just let them go! ”
"Let go!" A voice came from between Li Xiaofeng's teeth, "Tomorrow you come to my office to pick up his urn!" ”
"Hey! Andrey, you can't be so ruthless, you can't be so faceless! Eriksen was immediately upset.
Li Xiaofeng was unmoved, "I just gave him face and gave him a chance." But you don't want it! Do you think he still has a chance to pick and choose, do you think this matter is very small? I'm not afraid to tell you that this matter was personally approved by Lenin, and who should be arrested and where to start is a given...... Now, I'm going to ask you again, do you want ashes or do you want him to wear the guilt and make meritorious service! ”
As soon as he heard that things had reached such a high level, Eriksen's attitude naturally took a 180-degree turn, "Didn't I know what to do at first?" You told me that this was what Lenin meant, so I didn't get involved in it...... In this way, I will persuade him and let him cooperate with your work, in fact, it is quite good to wear a crime and make meritorious contributions......"
This world is so realistic, don't you want to make meritorious contributions? Hmph, many people don't even have the opportunity to make meritorious contributions!
Hung up the phone, Li Xiaofeng pursed his lips disdainfully, judging from Erickson's last words, the festival of that goods is probably like that. Think about it, politicians are politicians, and at the beginning, they still wanted to pick the fat and the thin to talk about the conditions, both to save their lives and to save their face. But as soon as he heard that he could only choose between face and small life, he immediately threw away all the discipline and everything. It is conceivable that the goods will be very cooperative to sell his former good friends and good comrades-in-arms without leaving them behind.
Of course, for Li Xiaofeng, this is not a bad thing, and having a living tainted witness can also save him a lot of trouble. Thinking of this, he remembered that Bunakov first interceded for that goods, and if he let this goods bite him, this must be very happy! (To be continued......)
PS: Thank you Comrade Ivanyu for your monthly ticket support again!
