The Kazan Church, located on Nevsky Avenue in St. Petersburg, was designed by the famous architect Voronikhin and the groundbreaking ceremony began in August 1801. The church was originally based on St. Peter's Church in ancient Rome and was completed in 1811 after 10 years. However, since the main entrance of the church faces north, the side facing Nevsky Prospect is unsightly. Therefore, the designers erected a promenade of 94 Kones semicircular columns on the east side of the church, turning the Kazan church into a typical Russian-style church.

The Kazan Cathedral is of extraordinary significance to the Russians, because after the completion of the Kazan Cathedral, the most powerful image of Our Lady of Kazan in Russia was enshrined in it. Don't underestimate this portrait, it has been regarded as the patron saint of Russia for centuries and has been "apparitioned" several times in history!

The first "apparition" was during the reign of Ivan the Terrible. During the Mongol War, many "apparitions" caused the Mongol army to flee without a fight.

The second "apparition" in the Russian-French war, Marshal Kutuzov went to pray in front of the statue of the Virgin Mary in the Kazan Church before the counteroffensive, and moved the "Virgin" with supreme sincerity.

The third "apparition" was in the Second World War, when the Orthodox Pope prayed to the statue of Our Lady of Kazan, and Our Lady once again dreamed to the Pope that the cold snap would appear for the second time, and this cold snap would freeze more than half of the German troops to death, and the tanks could not move, the planes could not take off, and even the fingers could not pull the trigger.

Legend has it that the statue of Our Lady of Kazan disappears after each apparition and does not reappear until Russia needs her guard here. Of course. These are pure nonsense, everything is just a law of nature, at least Li Xiaofeng will not stupidly run to pray to a portrait, it is better to ask others than to ask for himself. He cultivated for two more days on his own than any prayer.

However, in Russia back then, there were many people who believed in this, such as the former State Duma speaker Rodchenko, who was like Kutuzov this night, came to the statue of Our Lady with great devout faith and began to pray silently, and he fully believed that under the blessing of the Virgin, all actions tonight would be invincible.

When the clock pointed to ten o'clock in the evening, the small door of the prayer room was gently pushed open. Former Foreign Minister Miryukov walked in happily and excitedly said to Lao Luo, who was silently praying: "Your Excellency, the news from all sides has come back, just like what we planned. All the best! ”

The chubby Luo Jiangke slowly stood up from the chair, lowered his head and drew a cross on his chest, "Those chaotic parties didn't notice? And there was no resistance? ”

Milyukov smiled contemptuously: "That group of rebels is a group of mouth cannons, they have no response to our actions at all, Lenin has already been captured." Trotsky and his henchmen have also been brought under our control, and as soon as their armies make any moves, we can inform the Soviets to move up their armies and sweep them out once and for all! ”

"Good!" Luo Jiangke was very satisfied, he squinted his eyes and asked, "The Soviets won't notice anything, right?" ”

Milyukov sneered: "What can their fools know? At this point they were meeting all night. Discuss how to explain to the mob their intention to cancel the demonstration! ”

"Humph!" Luo Jiangke shook his head disdainfully and commented, "These idiots in Celeteli are the two ends of snakes and rats. The former was afraid of the wolf and the latter was afraid of the tiger, and wanted to maintain the stability of Russia. And refuse to draw a line with that group of mobs, what can you accomplish by being timid! ”

After a pause, he suddenly asked, "Is everything okay with Kornilov?" Our plan is ultimately to be implemented on his head, and without his army, all our actions will be in vain...... When are you going to notify him? ”…,

Speaking of Lao Ko, Milyukov's face was not as good-looking as before, he was very hesitant, and said hesitantly: "I don't want to inform him yet!" ”

Luo Jiangke was taken aback for a moment, and asked incredulously: "He is the key to our plan, you don't want to inform him?" Didn't communicate with him either? My old man, you're child's play! ”

Miliukov smiled bitterly: "It's not that I don't communicate with him, but since his son's accident, his whole person has changed." The last time I went to contact him, I also listened to his tone by the side, and his mood was quite wrong at that time, and any of my proposals were perfunctory, in this case, how dare I reveal my tone to him, God knows what he will do! ”

Milyukov said in a consultative tone: "Old friend, I think it is possible to do this? This time we will only clean up the most radical rebels, after all, they can still communicate in Tsereteli...... We don't need to wipe out the Soviets together, I really don't trust Kornilov! ”

After listening to Milyukov's suggestion, Luo Jiangke's face was cloudy, and he didn't know whether he was dissatisfied with Milyukov's approach, or agreed with Milyukov's evaluation of Lao Ke. After a long time, he said slowly: "Old man, your concerns are not unreasonable, those old soldiers in Russia are still good under Nian Majesty, and they have a lot of opinions about us, if you trust them completely and put your hopes on them, I am afraid it will fuel their ambitions......"

After a pause, he changed his words and added: "But, you must understand, as I have just said, that the first-class cowardice of the Mensheviks and the Socialist-Revolutionaries is not enough to achieve great things!" They're still inclineatively inclined to the mob! If we can't get rid of them altogether, but just Lenin and them, have you ever wondered if they would have turned against us without the radicals who had turned against them, when they had gathered great political prestige in this counterinsurgency operation? ”

Luo Jiangke said earnestly: "Those socialists cannot be of the same mind as us, and now there is a great deal of public opinion among the people, hoping that those Mensheviks and Socialist-Revolutionaries will replace us in forming a government. Compared to them, Kornilov is still our own person after all! My old friend! Our greatest sorrow is that we have no armed forces at hand to rely on, except for the stupid police and gendarmes in Petrograd. None of us can assign anything, and even if we are not as good as Lenin and Trotsky, we still have obedient troops under them...... Now the most critical moment has come, without the support of Kornilov's army. When the army of the rebels arrives tomorrow, God knows what will happen to the road! ”

Speaking of this, Rodencko emphasized in a mournful, almost tragic tone: "We must not lift a stone to shoot ourselves in the foot, and we have no choice but to trust Kornilov!" I hope he can remember a little bit of his old feelings and follow our commands......"

The helplessness of the Cadet and the Cadets was a good illustration of the power coming out of the barrel of a gun, as one of the largest parties in Russian politics at that time. As an old fox who fooled Nicholas II into abdicating the throne with a three-inch tongue, after the February Revolution, do you think that Luo Jiangke did not want to form a cabinet in person, and did not want to be prime minister or president?

But Lao Luo refused this temptation for nothing. The most important reason for bringing the puppet of Duke Wolf to power was that he found that after the February Revolution in Russia, all order had collapsed, and the establishment of the Provisional Government, although recognized by Britain and France, was an empty shelf. The army and the common people do not trust it, and it has no tools to ensure its existence, or to ensure that its orders are carried out. …,

A government is really a fart if it is not supported by the state's violent apparatus. Luo Jiangke spared no effort to promote the old Kornilov. Do you really think that he admires this Russian hero?

That's, the fundamental reason for the promotion of old Kornilov. This man had no background and did not belong to the aristocratic landowning class that was loyal to the tsar. Nor did he belong to a radical revolutionary party, and even within the army, his position was not very prominent. Wooing such a pawn with relatively small entanglements of interests and a relatively low position is just to facilitate control.

Luo Jiangke's purpose is very clear, that is, he intends to gain the support of force by controlling Lao Ke, and only with the support of force can his party have the confidence to speak, and only then can people listen to what he says!

The problem is that Rodeok's plan is very perfect, and the rootless Kornilov has been promoted, and he originally thought that Lao Ko was a rootless floating grass, and without his support from the Cadets, the other party would be nothing. But in the past two months, he has been shocked to discover one thing - the real rootless floating grass is his Cadet Party, and it seems that it is not difficult for the seemingly helpless old Ko to find a backstage.

For more than a month, the British and French governments have been briefing on the ears of Ronald on more than one occasion, stressing that they are very dissatisfied with the chaotic situation in Russia and the anti-war ideology, and strongly demanding that he take drastic measures to improve the situation.

Although it was only a hint, it undoubtedly sounded the alarm in Luo Jiangko's heart, and he undoubtedly had doubts about this old Kornilov, who had always been used as a backup, could it be that this person was really so ambitious that he wanted to replace himself? So during this period of time, he kept his distance from Lao Ke.

The last time Corvo approached him, he swore that he wanted to take strong measures to restore order in Russia, and even said that he could shoulder any responsibility. Although Lao Ke was very sincere, for the old fox Luo Jiangke, he didn't believe a word at all. In his opinion, this is just a disguised hint to him and putting pressure on him.

Of course, Lao Ko's approach is not meaningless, at least he indirectly made Rojiangke and his Cadets make up their minds - they can't wait any longer, they must take measures to show the meaning of their existence, otherwise they will really be abandoned by Britain and France!

Neither Rodchenko nor his Cadets could bear such consequences, as the most conservative right in the country they had no popular support, they were constantly attacked by centrists and leftists, and their presence in the Central Executive Committee of the Soviets was weaker than that of the Bolsheviks, and even that of Trotsky's district faction. If they lose the support of Britain and France, then they can really wash and sleep early!

So a few days earlier, when he learned that the Bolsheviks were preparing to launch a huge demonstration, he could not sit still, and he racked his brains and thought about it for a long time, and finally sketched out this very vicious plan.

It should be said that everything was perfectly planned, Lenin and Trotsky were completely defenseless, and the Mensheviks and the Socialist-Revolutionaries, who were the dominant Soviets, were not accustomed to the radical measures of the two above. Very cooperatively banned the parade. Then, through the good spies who had already been planted, they successfully issued false orders, and the subsequent draw-off completely paralyzed the entire command core of the Bolshevik and Menshevik district coalitions. As long as the "rebellion" took place, then with the acquiescence of the Soviets. The army can be used to counterinsurgency, as the commander of the Petrograd Military District, Kornilov is the unyielding commander-in-chief of the counterinsurgency.........

It was so perfect, the perfect general Ke regretted a little, he regretted not making up for his deadliest shortcomings earlier, and if there was no armed force that obeyed his orders to quell the Bolshevik rebellion, everything would have been in vain!

Whether Kornilov has two hearts or not, Rodenko cannot guarantee at all. At first, he assumed that it was good, but when it came to the end, he realized that his assumptions were really not reliable. In fact, his plan was unreliable in the first place, if the Cadets really had an army that obeyed their orders. Then the first half of the plan does not need to be so complicated at all, there is no need to make any excuses or bother to make it, just transfer the army to crush the opposition violently, and Lenin did this five months later. Did he make excuses during the October Revolution? With force as a backing, you need a fart excuse!

Milyukov came in a hurry, and immediately hurried away again, leaving only the chubby Rodneko to kneel again in front of the portrait of the Virgin Mary and pray silently. Nowadays, only the mighty and ethereal Mother can give him a little comfort and confidence.

While Milyukov was busy contacting Kornilov, Li Xiaofeng also embarked on the journey at the same time. Peter Wovsky's very brainless trick was deceived and already announced a reprieve on the death of the Bolsheviks, as long as it went one step further. Then the Bolsheviks and the future October Revolution were truly finished. Just as Luo Jiangke couldn't accept the fate of being abandoned and rose up to save himself, a certain immortal would never allow his months of hard work to go to waste.

Li Xiaofeng is not going to find Petro Wovsky, although this brother is the chairman of the military council and shoulders the post of the head of the armed uprising, but Petrograd is so big, God knows where the enemy deceived him? Even if the enemy is a little darker, he may be killed directly after he succeeds.

Therefore, it is a stupid way to search and rescue Peter Wovsky, it is better to save this brother than to save Lenin, at least Li Xiaofeng knows that Lenin is now trapped in the Ksheshinskaya Palace, and it is quite easy for him to save people.

At first, Li Xiaofeng did intend to do this, but after in-depth thinking, he categorically gave up this seemingly incomparably correct plan. For what? It should be said that the armed uprising could not be terminated even if Lenin had been saved.

After all, the Central Communications Section had already issued a false order, and an explosion had completely destroyed the communications equipment of the Central Communications Section, and it was completely impossible to revoke this order by telegram. The only way to stop the uprising was to rush to the headquarters of the rebel troops and spread the word of mouth. What's the point of saving Lenin at this time? Comrade Lenin is not more than two legs above others, can he run faster than ordinary people? At this time, it is simply a waste of time to save his old man!

Therefore, Li Xiaofeng immediately chose the most realistic and correct method and personally rushed to the stationing place of the army to do the explanation work. After all, there were quite a few troops in response to Lenin's armed struggle, and they were stationed in all directions of Petrograd, including the army, navy, cavalry, artillery, and workers' Red Guards.

Of course, Li Xiaofeng was not stupid enough to take care of everything by himself, he immediately made an assignment: "Comrade Fedorov, the insurrectionary troops in the city and suburbs of Petrograd will be handed over to you, and I will be responsible for conveying the instructions of the Party Central Committee to the troops stationed far away!" ”

After instructing Fedorov, he again said to Georgy and Sergei. Vasilyevich gave instructions: "Comrade Georgy, you lead a platoon of forces to defend Comrade Fedorov, and you must ensure that he quickly and safely conveys the instructions of the party, and as for Comrade Sergei, you lead the remaining forces to the Ksheshinskaya Palace, although the enemy does not dare to attack Comrade Lenin and the Party Central Committee for the time being, but we have to guard against the enemy's dog jumping over the wall!" I authorize you to guarantee the safety of Comrade Lenin by resolute means at all costs at the necessary critical juncture! As he spoke, Li Xiaofeng stepped on his motorcycle.

When Georgy and Sergey saw that someone was preparing to come out single-handedly, they immediately became uneasy: "Comrade Andrey, you are on the road alone, this is too dangerous!" You should bring two more comrades, and you will have a care for you in case of danger along the way! ”

Li Xiaofeng naturally wouldn't agree, how could he shrink the ground into inches if he took someone away? What danger can he be in the form of an immortal? Don't waste your time.

"No need! I estimate that the enemy's main strength is concentrated in the city, and they will do everything to stop you, so every one of your strength is precious...... And I'm different, first of all, I go on the road alone with a small target, and secondly, the distance is relatively long, and it is difficult for the enemy to intercept it! ”

After speaking, Li Xiaofeng ran away as soon as he twisted the accelerator, leaving only Georgi, Sergei and Fedorov, the three brothers, who were moved to tears by his "high wind and bright festival", and unanimously looked at someone's back with respectful eyes and refused to leave for a long time...... (Your support is my biggest motivation.) )
