Mironov was very conflicted, no one wanted to die, and he was naturally no exception, but this time it was the Bolsheviks who saved him, and it was the more evil department of the Bolsheviks.

He didn't have the slightest affection for the Cheka or the spies, and in his heart he despised and hated these despicable villains. But fate played a big joke on him, and after going around in circles, he actually fell into the hands of these despicable villains, and the other party's words also meant to leave him a small life and give him another chance.

For this pie falling from the sky, the first thing that Mironov thought about was, could this be a conspiracy of the Cheka, and did these damn spies want to use him to make a fuss and achieve the goal of excluding dissidents?

Such an idea was not unreasonable, Mironov was naïve but not stupid, and he had heard of the struggle between the Trotskyists and Leninists within the Bolsheviks. At the time of his defection, the two sides were fighting each other, and now I'm afraid it's already white-hot, right?

The struggle was heating up, and naturally any means could be used, and Mironov suspected that a certain immortal was using him to pour dirt on the Trotskyists, such as admitting that defection was a persecution by the Trotskyists, or that the Trotskyists were plotting to do so.

If it were someone else, I am afraid that he would save his life at any cost, but Mironov is different, he is the kind of person who would rather lose his life than lose his principles, and it is impossible to use him to engage in conspiracies and tricks, and to frame and frame him.

"I'm not interested in asking you to testify against anything." Li Xiaofeng sighed, he was a little speechless about Mironov's imagination, it would be a pity not to write a novel with such a rich imagination.

Of course, Li Xiaofeng was more amused. Just your Mironov's lame state. Still want to be a tainted witness? You don't pee and take care of it yourself. Phew!

Mironov was stunned for a moment, pursed his lips and said: "Then don't expect me to say good things for Stalin, Budyonny and Voroshilov, I will remember those three bastards for the rest of my life!" ”

"You can rest assured of this," Li Xiaofeng sighed again, "I don't plan to let you excuse them against your will, let alone force you to say good things for them." Actually, if you know anything, you should know that I don't have a good relationship with Stalin! ”

Mironov snorted and sneered: "I don't think it's just very bad. It's the same thing! I know, you're from Sverdlov! ”

Li Xiaofeng really wanted to tell Sù Mironov that he was not Sverdlov's younger brother, he and Xiao Si were brothers, they were brothers, but he still respected this brother. But when he opened his mouth, he gave up explaining, so why bother? If you have anything to explain to an outsider, let him go!

"In that case, what else do you have to hesitate about?" Li Xiaofeng asked with a smile.

Mironov stared at him for a long time. As if to make a final consideration, he said for a long time: "I still have two questions that have not been explained. If you can't give me a satisfactory explanation, I'd rather die than cooperate with you? ”

Li Xiaofeng smiled slightly and said, "You ask!" ”

Mironov lowered his head and pondered for a moment, then raised his head and asked solemnly: "First of all, I want to know, what do you want me to do?" ”

Li Xiaofeng smiled again: "Didn't I already say it?" Personally, I think you still have a certain value for the revolution, and I want you to bring this value into play! ”

Mironov asked: "What is the value?" ”

"Military value," Li Xiaofeng explained in a fifteen-ten, "In my opinion, you still have a certain military talent, at least much better than Budyonny and Voroshilov and the like." It's a pity to let you die like this! ”

Although Mironov had a certain understanding before, he still felt quite surprised when a certain immortal told him that he had taken a fancy to his military talent. Why? Because Mironov felt that from the moment he participated in the revolution and began to command the troops to fight, he did not show too many outstanding achievements, that is, he showed his face in the battle to encircle and annihilate the Czech Legion, and the rest of the time he could only be regarded as a soy sauce beater.

But now there is a big director who says to him, a passer-by: "You have the potential to become an actor, I am optimistic about you!" This will make him feel absurd.

"You don't care if it's absurd or not," Li Xiaofeng enlightened, "The most important thing for you is a chance, if you don't seize this opportunity, you will die." As for my way of looking at people, that's my personal problem, and it has nothing to do with you! ”

"Okay!" Mironov agreed with the explanation of a certain immortal, but he continued: "The second and final question, even if you admire any of my military talents, then I would like to ask you, how do you restore my work?" If I'm not mistaken, I'm now your most wanted criminal. How are you going to give an account to Lenin and the Central Committee? ”

Li Xiaofeng looked at Mironov and showed a meaningful smile, "You really surprised me, why do you care about this issue?" Does it have anything to do with you? How I wash your name is all my business! ”

"Then it's just your business!" Mironov angrily emphasized, "I am an honest person, I refuse to lie!" If you're going to make up a series of lies to excuse me, then I can only say no! ”

Li Xiaofeng asked with interest, "Say no?" Don't you know where you are right now? ”

Mironov roared: "I know it very well! But that's my principle! ”

Li Xiaofeng shrugged his shoulders and said, "Whatever you want, anyway, you're asking for your own hardship." But I must tell you that there is no lie at all, that is impossible. Even if you don't lose face, Comrade Lenin, Comrade Trotsky and other comrades of the Central Committee still have to be ashamed! ”

"What do you mean by that?" Mironov asked viciously.

"I mean it very simply!" Li Xiaofeng said with a smile, "This matter is no longer just your personal problem, it has involved the interests of the party and the Soviets. Don't sue me, you don't know how bad the impact of your previous defection was! ”

"I know very well, and I'm prepared to take responsibility for it and pay the price!" Mironov emphasized.

"I don't think you know!" Li Xiaofeng suddenly put away his smile and said mercilessly: "You guy is so naïve in politics that it makes people laugh. And the thinking is extremely simple. To put it mildly, it's a tendon! ”

He stopped Mironov from speaking. Sharply sarcastic: "You always think things are simple, and you always think that the world is black and white. But I would like to sue you that you are wrong, that what you consider to be righteous and noble is instead engaging in sabotage, and on the contrary has dealt a heavy blow to the revolution! If you continue to go on your own way, there is only one way to die! ”

"I sue you!" Li Xiaofeng lectured viciously, "Put away your very naïve thoughts. This will not only kill you, but also the revolution and other innocent people. Take your last defection, do you know how many innocent people were implicated by you? Many of these people are good men who worship you, trust you, and spill their blood with you, but you abandon them extremely naïve and send them to the door of hell...... And now, you still don't know how to repent, and you want to go your own way! I sue you Mironov, you are not noble at all, but extremely selfish! ”

Mironov froze. He has always been thinking about his own ideals, and all he is thinking about is how to realize his ideals. For those who follow him and trust him. He didn't say he didn't care at all, but he didn't respect their ideas, let alone listen to their opinions. He takes the trust of these followers for granted.

And now Li Xiaofeng is suing him, because his reckless actions have caused those people to suffer great harm, which makes him feel a little guilty. But these alone are not enough to make Mironov transform:

"That's also your deliberate implication of innocent people, I do things by myself!" Mironov said hard-mouthed.

"Innocent?" Li Xiaofeng smiled evilly and asked rhetorically: "Logically speaking, if you defect, aren't your friends and subordinates suspicious?" Normal people would be suspicious of their loyalty, and to put it mildly, they have not fulfilled the responsibilities of a qualified friend and subordinate, and have not detected your counter-revolutionary tendencies as soon as possible! There is no persuasion and no stopping you! The state has national laws and family rules, what would you do if you changed it? ”

Mironov stopped talking, but Li Xiaofeng did not let him go: "You must atone for your sins, and you must compensate those who are implicated by you in the most practical way, this is what you owe them!" ”

Mironov didn't speak for a long time, which showed how entangled he was in his heart, but when he spoke again, Li Xiaofeng knew that he had succeeded.

"What do you want me to do?" Mironov asked in frustration.

Li Xiaofeng smiled and said: "It's very simple, first of all, you have to write a detailed and profound letter of repentance, deeply criticizing your previous behavior...... I warn you, this isn't the kind of thing that goes through the motions, you'd better tell the truth, the deeper the better. I will submit this confession to Comrade Lenin and the Central Committee, and if they approve of your repentance, then the next step will be! ”

Mironov asked with some curiosity: "What steps?" ”

"Cleared of your guilt!" Li Xiaofeng said very calmly.

"Cleared?" Mironov was confused, since he wanted to clear his guilt, what sin did he repent? Isn't this brain-dead?

"Ostensibly clear of blame!" Li Xiaofeng further explained, "Your behavior is too bad, there is no reasonable explanation, you must be held responsible, and to be honest, it is enough to be shot." But as I said before, it's a shame to kill you, so I have to find a way to make you guilty! ”

In fact, Li Xiaofeng did not say it thoroughly, it is not impossible to wear guilt and make meritorious service, but there is a problem. The first problem was the love affair of the Central Committee, and Mironov's defection was a slap in the face of the Central Committee and turned the Bolsheviks into a big joke in the world. Now that this bastard has been caught, Ming Zhengdian has killed him to vent his anger, and I believe that the Central Committee will not have any opinions.

There were definitely not a few people in the Central Committee who wanted to kill Mironov, at least Stalin and his gang of friends did not like this unsightly guy to live.

Now, Li Xiaofeng does not want to kill him, and wants to keep Mironov for his crimes, which will inevitably make some people in the Central Committee unhappy, and will also make another part feel embarrassed and hold their breath. Therefore, the Central Committee must be pleased, and the Central Committee must be given a step down.

It is natural to give a reasonable explanation for Mironov's defection -- Li Xiaofeng's opinion on this is that he did not defect, but went deep into the tiger's den to find out information. If it's going undercover. Then nature is beyond reproach. Even praise. The undercover agent is done, and naturally he has to come back. And it can be regarded as a counterattack to the media that had previously ridiculed and ridiculed the Bolsheviks.

"Is that okay?" Mironov was surprised, and immediately his bullish temper came up again: "Isn't this nonsense and blatant fraud?" ”

"Of course not!" Li Xiaofeng immediately corrected, "This is just external propaganda, do you understand?" And internally, both Comrade Lenin and the Central Committee have seen your confession and know what it is all about. ”

Mironov hesitated, this solution is not bad, but too good. For him, it is the least troubled treatment plan. Took care of the feelings of the Central Committee. He also made a review, and the friends and brothers who were implicated by him were able to clear their grievances, which was simply counted in one fell swoop.

He should have rejoiced in this, but Mironov was terrified, how could he, as a sinner, be treated with such privileges?

Li Xiaofeng smiled and said, "I've said it many times, killing you is the easiest and most meaningless way to punish." It makes more sense to leave you to fight the White Army, to shed blood for the revolution, and to atone for your sins! ”

Mironov was silent again, but this time it was different. Before, it was because of suspicion, but now he is moved. It was probably the biggest help anyone else had ever done in his life. It is not accurate to describe it as a life-saving grace, and it can be called a grace reconstruction.

As the so-called great kindness does not say thank you, he is not a heartless person, the only thing he can do is to silently remember the kindness of a certain immortal, keep it firmly in his heart, and then risk his life to repay the trust of the other party.

"Tell me, what do you want me to do?" Mironov asked very calmly.

Li Xiaofeng nodded slightly, and was not polite, and said straight to the point: "I will hand over the only cavalry brigade of the East Prussian People's Liberation Army to you to command, and I want you to give full play to the role of cavalry, delay and delay Pilsudski's troops in the Podlasie area, so that they cannot return to Warsaw quickly!" ”

Mironov nodded and asked, "Only these?" ”

Li Xiaofeng was a little surprised, because even this task is not very simple. Why? Because of some unexpected changes in the shape of the battlefield, after the Polish army fighting out of Warsaw was surrounded, Pilsudski's reaction was not to wait and see, but to order his descendants to speed up the pace to Warsaw, it seems that he intends to fight a vigorous battle for the defense of Warsaw and defeat the invading East Prussian People's Liberation Army under the city of Warsaw.

And the Jews did not have the ability to gnaw Warsaw, even if Pilsudski's main force did not come back, it was very sufficient, once Pilsudski's main force entered Warsaw, it was equivalent to a complete break. Therefore, it was necessary to send a force to block Pilsudski's main forces, so that they could not join the defenders of Warsaw, and also to buy time to settle the Polish forces in the encirclement.

In any case, Pilsudski's main force was not wounded, and there were still 40,000 or 50,000 troops, and it was really difficult to complete this blocking task with a cavalry brigade. Even Ubolevich and Triandafilov found it too difficult, and even they were not sure.

And now, Mironov agreed to it in one bite, and judging by his attitude, he didn't feel how difficult this task was, and seemed to feel that he still had strength left after completing this task.

To be honest, Li Xiaofeng was also a little stunned at this time, he was very suspicious that history had played a joke on him, in case he was not a person, then it would be a lot of fun. However, now he can't go back, so he can only bite the bullet and say: "After completing the delay and blocking mission, your cavalry unit can develop to Western Ukraine and Belarus, and can carry out activities in the above-mentioned areas, it is best to find a way to expand the team, and then we will liberate Ukraine and Belarus......"

"No problem!" Mironov calmly accepted the order and asked: "Is there any other command?" ”

Li Xiaofeng finally glanced at this cavalry general with a lot of personality, and said very calmly: "There are no other orders, you should go and write a letter of repentance, if Comrade Lenin does not approve of it......

Mironov smiled: "Then for me it will be simple, nothing more than one death!" ”

The corners of Li Xiaofeng's mouth twitched, and he expressed his sincere admiration for the one who was too nervous, but he still had a certain degree of certainty about this matter, and the one who could regain the trust of the Bolsheviks in history is still possible.

"The last one," Li Xiaofeng said with a deep breath, "I will send Comrade Bulganin to assist and cooperate with you in your work, and he will supervise your actions, do you have any opinion on this?" ”

Mironov smiled and asked rhetorically: "Overseer? ”

Li Xiaofeng nodded calmly: "That's right, but he won't interfere with your military command!" ”

To be honest, Li Xiaofeng is really a little worried about this, no one can touch Mironov's stinky temper, in case this thing is blown up, then the matter will be stopped. But to his surprise, this unprecedented one did not blow up the thorns, but smiled self-deprecatingly: "It's understandable, anyone would send someone to supervise me, but you can say that you are in front, but it surprises me!" It seems that you are not exactly a villain who only engages in intrigue and trickery! ”

This kind of evaluation made Li Xiaofeng cry and laugh, but he didn't bother to bother with this rectum, and after waving his hand to get rid of this rectum, he straightened up and ordered: "Invite the lady outside the door to ......" (to be continued......
