Mannerheim's surprise did catch Li Xiaofeng a little off guard, and for a moment a certain immortal was really at a loss, but fortunately, he quickly adjusted his mood and regained the initiative in the conversation. [Just read the novel~]

"Your imagination is so rich!" Li Xiaofeng replied very casually, "It's a pity not to be Sherlock Holmes!" ”

Mannerheim secretly admired the ability of a certain immortal to self-regulate, and at the age of a certain immortal, he was only a young boy, and could only follow the baton of others.

But now Mannerheim has no heart to praise a certain immortal, he must keep the initiative: "I should say that your bold speculation surprises me more than Sherlock Holmes, do you really think that Milyukov's declaration will directly lead to the collapse of the cabinet?" Truth be told, it's too bold and amazing! ”

Li Xiaofeng smiled and said, "You don't believe it? ”

Mannerheim rightfully shook his head: "I don't believe it!" ”

Li Xiaofeng took a sip of coffee and said with a smile: "Lie! ”

This time it was Mannerheim's turn to be surprised, he shook his body, and said very sincerely, "I really don't believe in this inference!" ”

"You believe it!" Li Xiaofeng looked directly into Mannerheim's eyes and said very sharply: "If you don't believe it, you won't come to me!" ”

Mannerheim opened his mouth, as if he wanted to plead a few words, but looking into the eyes of a certain immortal, he suddenly realized that no matter what kind of rhetoric and reason were so pale, he did have a little faith in the prediction of a certain immortal.

After a long time, Mannerheim let out a long sigh, because he knew that his efforts to gain the initiative and fight for the right to speak had completely failed at the beginning, and shamefully, he was once again held by some immortal.

"You're truly amazing!" Mannerheim said with some discouragement, "Especially since your age and your vision really don't match, and sometimes I will think that I am talking to a wise old man who is more than a decade older than me!" ”

Li Xiaofeng smiled and said lightly: "I just think this is your praise for me!" ”

Mannerheim shook his head helplessly: "Sort of! ”

In just a few minutes, Mannerheim and Li Xiaofeng completed their first confrontation, and the result was that a certain immortal had a slight upper hand. [Just read the novel~] But Mannerheim didn't rest on his laurels, and he immediately launched a second wave of offensives.

He suddenly asked: "What do you think about the future of Russia?" ”

Li Xiaofeng smiled: "You want me to make a prophecy again?" ”

Mannerheim was stunned, his intention was to make some immortal open his mouth and talk loudly. And then it's easy for myself to find fault in it, as the old saying goes, the more you say, the more mistakes you make, as long as I get the handle. Immediately snatch the initiative. Who knows that a certain immortal in Lu Dao does not play cards according to common sense, and he is not like ordinary politicians fooling voters, talking about what ideals, what blueprints, and what beautiful tomorrow. On the contrary, someone is speaking prophecy.

There is an essential difference between ideals and prophecy, the so-called prophets. Must be an accurate description of the unknown or future; The ideal is the imagination and vision of the future. The former is conclusive, the latter is a romantic imagination.

Mannerheim's original intention was to ask a certain immortal to talk about the latter, that is, the Russian future imagined by a certain immortal, and there was a lot of imagination in it, and it was easier to find fault with it. But what a certain immortal asks is a prophecy of the future, that is, in the eyes of a certain immortal, the future already has its fixed pattern, or he has insight into the entire future.

As a result, Mannerheim's means of preparing for the cannon were not available at all. If Li Xiaofeng is talking about the idea of the future. He can pick thorns, but a certain immortal pretends to be a god stick, and he prophesies in the vernacular. …,

Well, you can't find fault with a prophecy, because you can't say what's good or bad about it, what's good or bad about it. Because the outcome of the prophecy is only right or wrong. But whether the prophecy is right or wrong. Until the results are out, no one can beat the prophecy to death with a stick. For example, the Mayans were the end of the 2012 world. [Just read the novel~]

In other words, even if Mannerheim dismisses the prophecy of an immortal, he can't put a coffin on it, so even if an immortal is talking nonsense, he can only pinch his nose and admit it, and only after the results come out, can he dig up the grave or whip the corpse.

This is not what Mannerheim wants, because it means that the initiative he wants is still unsettled, and without the initiative he will not be able to achieve his main purpose, which means failure.

"I didn't ask you to make a prophecy, we are not prophets, we can't prophesy anything!" Mannerheim said in pain.

"Who says that no one but the prophet can prophesy accurately?" Li Xiaofeng smiled slyly, "Didn't I already make two predictions that convinced you, if it wasn't for my previous predictions, you wouldn't have come to me, right?" ”

Mannerheim was speechless about this, he didn't expect a certain immortal to be waiting for him here, to be honest, Old Man was very sore at this moment, and he was sent back to the original point. Now he was faced with two choices, to admit that an immortal had prophetic powers, or not to admit it. But he didn't like either option, for what?

It's very simple, admitting the ability of a certain immortal's magic stick means that he has fallen into disadvantage, and then he can only pinch his nose and listen to the prophecy of a certain immortal, and then wait for time to test; If they do not admit it, then the basis for the talks between the two sides will no longer exist, and there will be no need to continue the talks.

After a long silence, Mannerheim muttered, "It's a thankless task to talk to you!" ”

Li Xiaofeng shook his head: "It's very easy and comfortable to chat with me, but the problem is that you didn't come to chat with me at all." That's the main reason why you are so entangled! ”

Mannerheim laughed angrily and asked, "So the reason is still on me?!" ”

"Of course it's on you!" Li Xiaofeng said unceremoniously, "You are here to ask me some questions, or there are some questions that you want me to answer." However, you are not willing to lower your profile and ask me for help, but want to provoke the answer with a provocative mentality, which is honestly unkind! ”

Mannerheim was taught a lesson and his face was red and white, and he wanted to open his mouth to speak several times, but he didn't know what to say, so he could only look at Li Xiaofeng in a daze. After looking at each other for a long time, the old man finally lowered his head and said apologetically: "I'm sorry, Mr. Sbelsky, I sincerely apologize to you for my attitude just now!" ”

Li Xiaofeng nodded thoughtfully, pretending to be serious and solemn, as if he was a righteous gentleman. In fact, this thing was happy in his heart, and he really wanted to catch a passer-by or the onlookers and yell: "See, I suppressed Mannerheim domineeringly...... Mannerheim! ”

Not to mention the dirty careful thoughts of a certain immortal, Mannerheim asked very sincerely: "Mr. Sbellowsky, the reason why I have come to you is because I am confused about the current situation, what will be the future of Russia? What is the future of Finland? What should I do? ”

Li Xiaofeng suddenly shook his head and reprimanded him very seriously: "Are you really obsessed? ”

Mannerheim's old face was squeezed into a bun, and he said with some annoyance: "Sir, I have apologized to you just now!" ”

Li Xiaofeng was still shaking his head: "I also accept your apology, but this has nothing to do with your obsession." Because you're obsessed! ”…,

Mannerheim's head was dizzy, and he wondered, "Why am I obsessed?" ”

Li Xiaofeng sighed lightly and said slowly: "You asked me three questions just now, if you really have woken up, these are not problems?" ”

Mannerheim became interested and quickly asked, "What do you say?" ”

Li Xiaofeng sat up straight and said very sharply: "The three questions you asked are actually one question in essence!" ”

Mannerheim's voice trembled: "What's the problem?" ”

Li Xiaofeng sighed: "What you really want to ask is, if this cabinet collapses as quickly as I predicted, can you lobby the next cabinet and let them give Finland freedom...... That's the question you want to ask! ”

Mannerheim was speechless, and was really right by Li Xiaofeng, and after learning that Milyukov was about to issue a fierce declaration advocating war, he came to the conclusion that as soon as the declaration was published, it would arouse the anger of all Russia. After coming to this conclusion, he thought of the prophecy that a certain immortal had made, and initially believed this prophecy.

Of course, as a politician, Mannerheim is not concerned with the prophecy itself, but with the possible consequences of the prophecy when it is fulfilled. If this government collapses, will the new government and the new cabinet be more enlightened? If so, then it is time to strengthen public relations and strive to achieve national success in a peaceful way.

The problem is that almost no one can give him an answer to this question, after all, Miryyukov has not yet issued that declaration, all ideas are based on imagination, who dares to pat his chest and say that he is 100% sure?

In a fit of confusion, Mannerheim thought of a certain immortal, of the young man who had made a big-eyed prophecy before. In his opinion, this is also the only person in Petrograd who can give him some advice.

After listening to Mannerheim's complaints, Li Xiaofeng pointed out bluntly: "Your problems are more than these! ”

Mannerheim explained, "I really don't mean anything else! ”

Li Xiaofeng scoffed at this: "Why not, just now you were aggressive as soon as you came up, and you kept asking about the future of Russia, you dare to say that you didn't have the slightest provocation and question my meaning?" I couldn't figure out why a gentleman like you would do this, but I figured it out now! ”

Mannerheim's eyes widened and he asked, "What did you figure out?" ”

Li Xiaofeng smiled and said: "You want to ask me for some opinions, but subconsciously think that the conclusions I may give are not too good, and may not be what you want, so you desperately question me, hoping that after I kill your unrealistic delusions, you can give yourself a comfort." I must say, you are really deceiving yourself with this mentality! (To be continued......)
