Just when Li Xiaofeng was about to get his wish and touch the two soft places, the carriage, which was originally as stable as Mount Tai, suddenly came to a ninety-degree drift, and someone who was happy and sad crashed into the carriage headlong and won a full house.

Morrigan got up from under his seat with his head covered and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Seeing that Fang Ze's attempt to kiss Fang Ze failed, Li Xiaofeng vented his anger on the coachman, and the poor man apologized again and again while explaining the reason. When the relationship was just turning the corner, the other carriage that came over did not know whether the coachman had drunk too much, or the horse pulling the carriage had drunk too much, so he rushed over without avoiding it. The poor coachman couldn't react, and although he tried to turn around, the two carriages still touched each other gorgeously.

Hearing the reason, Li Xiaofeng was even more furious, you grandsons who have ruined Lao Tzu's good deeds, look at how my brother cleans you up! As soon as he gritted his teeth and stomped his feet, this guy jumped out of the car in a rage, kicked open the other party's car door, and scolded: "Don't you have eyes? How to drive! If you want to die, just say it! ”

But as soon as the words fell, a certain immortal was messy in the wind, so what, Comrade Dzerzhinsky, you, no, why did your old man go to Stockholm to get a foundation?

I saw the steel Felix in the carriage and another middle-aged man hugging each other in a six-nine posture, how to look at that posture and feel ambiguous.

"Is that you, Comrade Andrey?!" Dzerzhinsky was also a little surprised by someone's sudden appearance, "Why did you come to Sweden too?" ”

The problem now is not what brother is in Sweden, but the two of you are engaged in the base, and those who play with cars should also pay attention to the impact, and it is not good to have a traffic accident.

Dzerzhinsky struggled to get up from the floor, patted the dust on his body, and introduced to his friends: "Comrade Ganetsky, this is Andrei whom I mentioned to you. Comrade Petrovich, don't look at his young age, but his contribution to the revolution is not small! ”

It turned out that this guy was Ganetsky, and Li Xiaofeng had long heard of this person, one of the old revolutionaries, and after the February Revolution, he almost acted as a bridge between Lenin and the country, and many of Lenin's articles and instructions were conveyed through this person.

"Hello, Comrade Ganetsky." Li Xiaofeng shook hands with Ganetsky and asked, "Are you going out of the city?" ”

Dzerzhinsky smiled bitterly: "No, we are planning to enter the city. He pointed to the tattered carriage and complained, "The two brutes just now, not knowing what had happened to the road, suddenly went mad and ran around, and threw the coachman off the carriage...... By the way, Andrey, please send someone to the front to take a look, the poor coachman is probably not lightly injured......"

Not only is the injury not light, the coachman can be said to have lost half his life, that is, a certain immortal saw him pitiful and crossed some immortal power, otherwise I am afraid that he will be half paralyzed.

"You haven't answered my question yet, Comrade Andrei, why did you come to Sweden too. I heard that you run a newspaper in Petrograd, why did you suddenly leave the country? And who is this lady? Dzerzhinsky pointed to Morrigan in the carriage.

"I'm here to do anything in Sweden, and this young lady is my secretary!" Li Xiaofeng casually made it up.

Dzerzhinsky and Ganetsky looked at each other, they didn't believe that Morrigan, who was dressed in black and black, and had a strange body all over his body, could be the secretary. Fortunately, a certain immortal changed the topic in time: "Why are you also in Stockholm?" ”

"I have come to greet Lenin and his comrades in exile!" Dzerzhinsky didn't think it was a secret either, and said 1510.

Luck can't stop it, Li Xiaofeng was secretly happy in his heart, and immediately asked: "Comrade Lenin has returned to China?" ”…,

Dzerzhinsky nodded: "Comrade Lenin is ready to leave Zurich on April 9 and officially return home via Germany. Comrade Ganetsky and I are collecting money for the travel of our returning comrades......"

Raising money for travel?

Li Xiaofeng couldn't figure it out, didn't the literature of later generations clearly write that Lenin received funding from the Germans and returned to China with 50 million gold marks? With the 50 million gold marks, you still have to spend this effort to raise money? Could it be that Comrade Lenin is also the kind of master who goes out and does not pick up money, even if he loses it? He immediately raised the question in his mind.

Dzerzhinsky and Ganietsky smiled bitterly, they have also heard such rumors recently, and the Provisional Government's additional minister Milyukov has recently spread a lot of rumors, what Lenin was a German spy, what Wilhelm II spent a lot of money to make the Bolsheviks make a revolution, all kinds of rumors that are unbearable and cannot withstand scrutiny one after another, with the intention of trying to discredit the Bolsheviks and Lenin and reduce their influence among the masses.

"Comrade Andrey, don't listen to those rumors. You still don't know the state of the party's economy? The Truth Revenge Magazine is still your money, and more than half of the travel expenses of the comrades who have returned to China this time have come from you. Besides, if Comrade Lenin really had 50 million gold marks, would he still send an urgent telegram to Comrade Ganetsky and ask him to find ways to raise money for the emergency travel expenses? ”

Dzerzhinsky motioned to Ganetsky to take out a telegram and show it to a certain immortal, only to see that it was clearly written in black and white, and Lenin asked Ganietsky to immediately think of raising two to three kilograms of Lang to solve the urgent need, and the payment was made on April 2. The call also informed Ganetsky that there were more than 10 returnees and asked him to do a very good job in receiving them.

In fact, Li Xiaofeng was originally skeptical about the matter of 50 million gold marks, which was not a small amount of money, it was worth about ten tons of gold at that time, which was more than enough to build a super dreadnought battleship. Germany's own economic situation at that time was not optimistic, and with such a huge amount of money to win over an opposition party that was not very powerful in Russia to carry out a coup d'état, should it be said that Wilhelm II was a brilliant visioner or that he was a fool?

Do you know that the Bolsheviks were not strong from the beginning, the Socialist-Revolutionaries and the Cadets were the dominant party at that time, whether in the Duma or in the Soviets, the Mensheviks were excluded, the Bolsheviks were hardly even green leaves, and the Germans were not afraid of this huge investment in vain?

Besides, how should such a huge sum of money be paid to the Bolsheviks, directly to paper money, or to gold, or to equivalent supplies?

It was easiest to give paper money, but Germany and Russia were at war, and even in peacetime, the German mark could not be circulated in Russia. Lenin and the Bolsheviks were not stupid enough to use the mark at home.

It is possible to give gold directly, after all, gold is a hard currency and you can't worry about changing money. However, if there really was such a huge amount of gold on the sealed train in which Lenin was riding, it would be impossible for the Swedes to be unaware of the fact that Lenin had no diplomatic immunity, and that it was inevitable that he would have to pass through customs inspection when passing through Sweden, and it was unrealistic to smuggle ten tons of gold there. Judging by the records of the Swedes, there is no such huge amount of gold in existence.

Or just give the supplies directly? However, you can think with your ass, how did Germany, which was at war with Russia, bypass the millions of Russian troops on the front line and hand over supplies to the Bolsheviks in the rear? How much of a capacity does this have to be?

Transshipment through a third country? It's a pity that German supplies want to be transported to Russia, they have to go through Sweden and Finland, Sweden is good to say, after all, it is pro-German, but Finland began to fight for independence after the February Revolution, the country is a mess, transportation and everything is in a semi-paralyzed state, at that time the Bolsheviks and Mensheviks who returned to Russia through Germany recalled that the traffic situation in Finland was very bad at that time, and two-thirds of the time on the journey was wasted in Finland. …,

Moreover, the British and French were not idle, in order to help the Provisional Government stabilize the situation, they firmly monitored the border between Sweden and Finland, and earlier they directly detained Trotsky and refused Lenin's request to cross the border, and they would watch the Germans support the Bolsheviks in trouble? Under such a siege, how could the Germans ensure that the supplies could be delivered to the Bolsheviks in their entirety?

It only takes a little brains to think that fifty million gold marks are not reliable at all, and are nothing more than a means of the Provisional Government to disgust the Bolsheviks.

In fact, as early as Lenin's first contact with the Germans through a third party, the unreliable third party Luo . Grim leaked the news to Britain and France. Milyukov, who learned the news, once let go of the newspapers, saying that Russian exiles would never be allowed to cross the border through Germany, and that this was treason for betraying the country, and threatened to hang all the "traitors" to death. Lenin, when he returned to Petrograd and gave a speech at the Finnish station, mentioned that he thought that the train he was on would go straight to Peter and Paul prison.

The transit through Germany was therefore an open secret, and the resolution, after being adopted by the Central Committee of the Bolsheviks abroad, was printed and published on a single page. Two days before his departure, Lenin briefed the representatives of the Left Social Democratic Party in Germany, Switzerland, France, and Poland on the transit through Germany, and signed the "Travel Protocol" in public.

At that time, it was not only the Bolsheviks who were preparing to transit through Germany, but also the Mensheviks and the Socialist-Revolutionaries in exile in Switzerland. A little later, a large number of Mensheviks and Socialist-Revolutionaries in exile chose the same route to return to Russia.

It can be seen that the transit through Germany is far less mysterious than the literature described in later generations, and there is no such thing as the "History of Russia in the Twentieth Century" written by the old and young remnants of the White Russians, as described in the German special forces defending Lenin's secret sneak back to Russia to rebel. Because Lenin did not sneak back to the country at all, except for a section of the sealed train in Germany. It is a public event in both Sweden and Finland.

He was even interrogated by British officers stationed on the border between Sweden and Finland (if there was gold or goods in the car at the time, could he hide it?). ）。 During his trip to Finland, he also had a debate with a die-hard Russian defender at the station, which won the cheers of the Finnish crowd of onlookers. When he returned to Petrograd, he was openly welcomed by the Petrograd workers and army and navy soldiers, and the guard of honor was inspected on the platform, and the Menshevik patriarch Sukhanov was also present to greet him in person. If you really want to keep it secret, as for such a swagger?

It is conceivable that if Lenin really had any deal with the Germans, the Provisional Government headed by Milyukov would definitely be clear, and they would have let go of such a good opportunity to resolve the opponent? You must know that Lenin has always been in opposition to the Provisional Government before and after his return, so why did the Provisional Government not arrest him on charges of German spies and traitors? Instead, wait until the Bolsheviks have gained the upper hand in the Soviets before they make a big fuss about transit through Germany? If there is real evidence, what did you do earlier?
