Tula Oblast is located in the southwest of Moscow, a straight-line distance of more than 200 kilometers, and its capital is the city of Tula. The city is an important industrial base in Russia and has several important arsenals, such as the famous Tula Arsenal.

Both Federov and Dzhegarev served in the Tula Arsenal, and Fedrov in particular, was an indispensable key figure in the Tula Arsenal, without whom the production and R&D of the entire plant would have been greatly affected.

The management and leading engineers of the Tula Arsenal were incomprehensible and worried about Federov's unexpected arrest, especially after hearing that Federov had been sentenced to death, and an atmosphere of panic spread among the management of the Tula Arsenal.

The management and engineers feared that they would be the next Federov, and that their own doors would be kicked open by the vicious Cheka, and that they would be imprisoned and eventually executed on trumped-up charges.

"Why is the atmosphere so ...... here?"

When Li Xiaofeng arrived in Tula, he felt that something was wrong with the city as soon as he entered the city, under the gray sky, there were not even two three-legged cats on the street, and from time to time you could see the fierce and vicious workers with red armbands escorting the suspects to the carriage, and the whole city seemed to be shrouded in an inexplicable unsettling atmosphere, quite a bit of the weird atmosphere before the start of Resident Evil.

This kind of scene was not what Li Xiaofeng wanted to see, and when he couldn't see the scene of the workers' Red Guards arresting people again, he ordered a stop and then greeted him.

"What's going on with you guys?" He asked the Red Guards of the Workers, who were led by him, with a frown.

"Don't be nosy." The man snorted impatiently. Then he looked at Li Xiaofeng. Seems to be very dissatisfied with the way he is dressed, "Suit and leather shoes? Still in a car? Bourgeoisie?! ”

The word bourgeoisie seemed to have a magical power, and immediately the attention of these workers' Red Guards shifted from the poor suspect to Li Xiaofeng's side, and they looked at a certain immortal with ill will, as if the big bad wolf had discovered the little white rabbit, and it was really salivating.

"Your credentials!" The Red Guards of the Workers, who were the leader, took a step closer and ordered in a loud voice: "Take out your papers!" The little white face of the bourgeoisie! ”

Li Xiaofeng couldn't laugh or cry, and asked me for documents. I can only say that your eyesight is too poor. But he didn't bother to bother with this kind of thing, because he couldn't care about it at all, and the Russian proletariat was mostly just awakened, and it was not to be expected that their attitude to work would be very good, and they would never be polite to the class enemy.

Therefore, Li Xiaofeng casually took out his party membership card and work card and handed them over, and immediately a scene that made him cry and laugh even more happened.

The head of the Workers' Red Guards looked at his ID, carefully observed the photo on it, and after confirming that it was the headshot of a certain immortal, he waved his hand: "It's you." That's right, grab them all! ”

Li Xiaofeng was immediately surprised: "Arrest me? For what! ”

The secretly snorted contemptuously: "For what? Shouldn't the remnants of the bourgeoisie be caught! ”

Li Xiaofeng didn't know what to say. Looking at the head, he shook his head and sighed, "Do you know how to read?" ”

The man was obviously stunned, "I can't read or not, what does it have to do with you, a bourgeoisie!" I can smell the bourgeois decay in you even if I can't read! ”

Li Xiaofeng shook his head speechlessly, pointed to the documents and said: "This is my party membership card and work card, I am the executive deputy chief of the Bolshevik Central Special Branch, and I am also the head of the Moscow Cheka." ”

As soon as this sentence came out, the head was dumbfounded, looked at Li Xiaofeng in disbelief, and then looked at the documents, as an illiterate person, he really couldn't be sure of the authenticity of the documents. After a moment's pause, he suddenly handed the document to the poor creature he had caught, and shouted, "Say, tell me honestly what is written on it, otherwise I will shoot you immediately!" ”

The poor worm who was arrested had already been frightened, and there was no need to threaten, he would honestly "cooperate", he read out all the titles and titles of a certain immortal in a trembling voice, and suddenly, the head of the Red Guards, who had been showing off his might just now, was immediately surprised.

"Andrey. Comrade Petrovich, I'm really sorry! We don't know you, we're not sincere......"

"That's it!" Li Xiaofeng sighed again, he was not in the mood to deal with an illiterate person, "What happened to Tula City?" Why are there workers' Red Guards everywhere arresting people, uh, and, what's this guy guilty of? ”

The head seemed to be even more surprised than him, and asked in confusion: "Andre. Comrade Petrovich, didn't the Moscokovich Cheka carry out a campaign to purge the remnants of the bourgeoisie, in accordance with the orders of the Central Committee? ”

Purging the remnants of the bourgeoisie? Nima, who is tampering with the orders of the Central Committee? The Cheka was a special committee for the purge of counter-revolution and sabotage, and when did it become a bourgeois purge committee?

"Who gave you the order to play the piano? When did the Cheka, a special institution for counter-revolutionaries and passive sabotage lumpen-workers, become specifically aimed at the bourgeoisie? ”

Li Xiaofeng's explanation made the leader suddenly confused, and he said hesitantly: "Aren't the bourgeoisie all counter-revolutionaries? ”

Li Xiaofeng exhaled deeply, he knew where the root of the problem was, for all the simple proletariat, the counter-revolutionaries in their eyes, or the enemy, was the bourgeoisie, and their sense of petty burghers and peasants determined that their understanding of the revolution was biased. Think about it, if the revolution is about smashing and looting, robbing homes and killing heads, then it can only be said that the revolution is too simple.

The problem is that revolution is not that simple, at least in the eyes of a big man like Lenin, revolution does not equal all of the above. Of course, for Li Xiaofeng, he doesn't like this revolutionary way of destroying everything.

"Okay, you just tell me why you arrested him!" Li Xiaofeng pointed at the poor worm. Sharply asked.

"He's a bourgeois ......"

The other head is not finished yet. Li Xiaofeng interrupted him directly. "What else? With regard to the bourgeoisie, the Party's policy is clear, only the confiscation of the proceeds of their exploitation is allowed, and who told you that the bourgeoisie is equated with the counter-revolutionaries? If you want to arrest him for counter-revolutionary crimes, you must find concrete evidence of their counter-revolutionary crimes, otherwise your actions are crimes! Got it?! ”

The leader could have understood so quickly, but he didn't have the courage to blow up the big leaders from Moscow, he only knew that the leaders were very dissatisfied with his behavior. If you don't know each other, the consequences may be serious.

Suddenly, he nodded resignedly, "Yes, I understand, release him immediately!" ”

In fact, Li Xiaofeng also understood that the other side probably still did not understand anything, and the backward status quo of Russia determined that the proletarian revolution in Russia was to cross the river by feeling the stones, and there was never historical experience to tell them what to do, and historical experience often played the opposite role, and the newly awakened proletariat was inevitably influenced by the old ideas. While they are shouting new slogans, they are walking the old ways.

"Thank you. Thank you so much. The rescued kid kept thanking Li Xiaofeng, which showed that he was frightened just now.

Li Xiaofeng shook his head and looked at this guy again, to be honest, just from the way he dressed, this so-called bourgeoisie was not as well-dressed as a Bolshevik, half-worn suit, slightly haggard cheeks because of hunger, thick beer bottle-bottom glasses, not so much that this goods looked like a bourgeoisie, but that he was a down-and-out scholar.

Li Xiaofeng was not interested in such a person, and he came to the rescue, but he just wanted to know what happened to Lu Daotula, so he didn't need the other party's gratitude, and he didn't think that this gratitude was of any use to him.

But just as he waved his hand and was about to flash people, his driver poked his head out of the car: "Comrade Andrei, can you ask him, how is the Tula Revolutionary Military Council going?" ”

Li Xiaofeng turned his head and looked at the other party, but he didn't think that a down-and-out scholar would care about the Revolutionary Military Committee. More likely, this cargo doesn't know how to go.

However, the answer given by the other party surprised him: "I know that I can take you there." ”

Since this is the case, Li Xiaofeng didn't bother to talk nonsense, and beckoned to him: "Okay, get in the car!" ”

Minrensky didn't know that Li Xiaofeng had arrived in Tula, and he didn't know that the other party was not good. In fact, although Federov's arrest warrant and death sentence were issued by him, he really did not know what the sacredness of Federov was, he did not care at all about the so-called crimes, he thought that as long as the bourgeoisie and the lackeys in the service of the bourgeoisie were shot, the purge would be completed.

Yes, Minzhensky is so shallow in his understanding of the rebellion, even if he himself was born in a bourgeois aristocratic family, it does not mean that he cares about the life and death of the bourgeoisie now.

In fact, Minzhensky was not particularly attentive to the rebellion, and the tedious copywriting work was a burden for him, preferring to sit in the theater and the opera house to listen to the plays rather than sit in his office and listen to the boring reports.

"Well, don't report to me all the same reports," he instructed his secretary impatiently, "and take immediate action against the counter-revolutionaries as soon as their charges can be clarified...... What we want now is efficiency, and only by eliminating them quickly can we stabilize the situation in the country. So everything is on the same level as efficiency, don't waste time! ”

Minzhensky's attitude towards work has always been so strange that the revolution is more like a drama for him, and he prefers to appreciate it from afar rather than actively devote himself to it.

He is more like those otaku who like fantasy in later generations, and would rather hide in his small room and constantly spend five million after winning it, rather than raise his legs and walk a few steps to buy a lottery ticket.

One can imagine how ...... Turacika's work must have been with such a lazy superior How efficient, with Minrinsky's acquiescence, they could shoot anyone who was suspicious or unpleasant to the eye on the charge of counter-revolutionaries. There is no need to worry about unjust, false and wrongful cases, let alone careless of human life, because their superiors don't care at all.

"What? Comrade Vycheslav, you haven't seen it a few times? "After rushing to the Tula Revolutionary Military Council and finding Frunze's old subordinate. The other party gave a piece of news that surprised Li Xiaofeng - Minrensky is not very enthusiastic about anything. It is also possible not to participate in the various meetings organized without attending. This thing is simply an otaku politician.

"And what's going on with Tula now?" Li Xiaofeng was a little anxious, "You just watched him arrest people casually?" ”

"There's nothing we can do!" Frunze's old subordinates spread their hands and said helplessly: "The Cheka has the power to suppress the rebellion and has the right to arrest all counter-revolutionaries, so we can't resist the orders of the central government, right?" ”

Li Xiaofeng pinched his temples, he found that the matter was big, he could only say patiently: "But Tula is an extremely important heavy industrial city, and the city's military factories supply weapons and ammunition to millions of troops. If there is chaos here, the consequences will be unimaginable! ”

"I also know what to say, but Comrade Minzhensky doesn't listen to any opinions at all, he doesn't care what we think at all......"

Li Xiaofeng shook his head again, he began to feel that this trip to Tula was really the right one, if he didn't come once, he really didn't know that Mingrensky was messing around here, if this idiot brought down all the factories in Tula, then it would be too late.

"Well, let's go and meet Comrade Vycheslav together. Explain to him, we have to put an end to this! ”

When Li Xiaofeng found Minzhensky. This person who is playing the piano in the piano room, only in the melodious sound of the piano, he seems to be able to find peace of mind. So much so that his subordinates consider their leader to be more like a musician than a politician.

"Comrade Vycheslav, Andrei from Moscow. Comrade Petrovich asked to meet with you! ”

Minzhensky, who was immersed in the music, frowned slightly, but the movements of his hands did not stop at all, he pretended not to hear the secretary's report at all, closed his eyes and continued to revel in his own world.

The poor little secretary was really a little overwhelmed, although he knew a little bit that his boss was a little abnormal, but even if he was abnormal, he couldn't just care about playing the piano and ignoring the distinguished guest outside the door.

The little secretary thought about it, and had the courage to repeat it again, but Minrensky still didn't have any reaction, and his ten fingers beat to play a flowing music, it seemed that Li Xiaofeng was nothing to him at all, only music was the most important thing.

The little secretary didn't dare to speak a third time, he was sure that his boss had heard everything he said, and the reason why he didn't say it was because he didn't want to go to the meeting with Comrade Andrei right away?

It should be said that the little secretary's guess is not far away, Minrensky doesn't like Li Xiaofeng at all, the last time it was because of someone that he didn't get the position of the head of the special section, although a mere special section chief is nothing, but he always has a grudge - this is your kid who disrespects me, and if I become the chief of the special section, when the Cheka is established, I am afraid that I will not only lead a small Tula region, don't you see Molotov, this kid became a member of the Standing Committee of the Cheka Party Committee precisely because he served as the section chief of the special section? If I were to change it, I'm afraid it would be possible to be the chairman of the Cheka, right?

Therefore, when he heard that Li Xiaofeng was visiting, Minzhensky subconsciously made a decision, what if you come to see me, Lao Tzu just doesn't want to see you, and he will let you out a bad breath!

"What? Comrade Vycheslav is very busy with work and does not have time to see me for the time being? Li Xiaofeng was very dissatisfied with the answer given by the little secretary, when Lao Tzu is a fool, he is very busy and has the leisure to play the piano?

Immediately, Li Xiaofeng came to a conclusion that everything was deliberate, that is, Minzhensky was deliberately looking for trouble with him.

Since this is the case, Li Xiaofeng doesn't plan to be polite to Minzhensky, you are purely looking for fault, don't blame me for slapping you in the face. Immediately, he pushed the little secretary away and broke in without saying a word.

"Comrade Andrei, you can't go in!" The little secretary shouted in vain, but such an act was more like shirking responsibility.

Li Xiaofeng walked in front of Minzhensky in three steps and two steps, glanced at him coldly, and said sarcastically: "Comrade Vycheslav, you are really busy!" So busy that you don't even have time to meet guests, and that's how you carry out revolutionary work to your heart's content? If all comrades are like you, we should go to the Musikverein in Vienna to carry out revolutionary work! ”

Minzhensky's face is not very good-looking, in his opinion, it is natural that he does not see Li Xiaofeng, my seniority is old, and I am the head of the Tula Prefecture Cheka, you have to follow my schedule when you come to see me. And now, you kid broke in without saying a word, and your mouth is sarcastic and ridiculous, you're here to find fault, right?

"How can I carry out my work without being educated by others," Minzhensky began to fight back coldly, "It's some comrades who don't understand any politeness, don't you know that Lu Dao doesn't have the permission of his master, and it seems that he is very unqualified?" ”

"My quality is not high," Li Xiaofeng sneered, "but compared to the so-called high quality of someone who is passive and slacking off work and careless of people's lives, I would rather have a lower quality." Now, Vycheslav. Comrade Minzhensky, please correct your attitude, I am here to check your work on behalf of the All-Russian Cheka. For your superiors, please cooperate with my work! ”

Minzhensky's face became more and more ugly, Li Xiaofeng was slapping him in the face, he was climbed on the head by a young man, and he was directly "acting as a prestige" in front of him, how could he be patient!

"Check my work?" He stood up abruptly and said proudly: "I work flawlessly, and I don't need cats and dogs to point fingers!" (To be continued......)
