Napokov glanced at Yazov speechlessly, and said indifferently: "Of course it's not a breakthrough!" He suddenly sighed and said bitterly: "Now that the urban area of Petrograd has basically fallen into the hands of the Bolsheviks, even if we can break out of the encirclement, where can we go?" ”

Yazov was a little overjoyed, he thought that the National Salvation Revolutionary Committee had finally opened its mind and was finally ready to surrender, and he asked very excitedly: "Is the committee ready to surrender?" ”

Napokov was immediately enraged, and roared at him: "Colonel Yazov, I must seriously warn you that your attitude is very problematic. The National Salvation Revolutionary Committee would never have surrendered to the Bolshevik traitors! The struggle between us and them has only just begun, and although we are now suffering a certain setback, it is simply insignificant! The people of the whole country are on our side, and we must not let down their ardent hopes! I hope you will correct your attitude and show the courage of a real soldier, a real Russian patriotic warrior! ”

Yazov had no interest in this nonsense, he was already exhausted when the battle came to this point, and he would be overjoyed if the Revolutionary Committee for the Salvation of the Country decided to surrender. And now, Napokov's words confused him, neither ready to break through, nor ready to surrender, but also to change the status quo, what state is this? Do you want to fly?

"Cheer up, my colonel!" Napokov was displeased with Yazov's confused appearance, and he continued to teach: "Your current state of mind will only discourage our fighters, and as a leader, you must always pay attention to your demeanor. ...... must be encouraged with the fullest fighting spirit"

Yazov's ears automatically filtered out this nonsense. He was getting impatient. He just wanted to know what Napokov wanted him to do, and just say it.

Napokov glared at Yazov, very dissatisfied with the fact that the colonel, who did not have much fighting spirit, interrupted his speech, but even if he was dissatisfied, he could not continue to teach someone, after all, there was a degree to everything, and if Yazov was not spared any face, it would anger this Qiuba. In a fit of rage, he mutinied, and that would be bad.

Although Napokov looked down on Yazov and his soldiers, Mr. Duma knew very well that without these wretched soldiers to protect them, the Bolsheviks would have killed them in a matter of minutes, dragged them out of the city and shot them all.

Napokov didn't want to die, so he could only explain with a pleasant face: "The opinion of the National Salvation Revolutionary Committee is very clear, we must negotiate with the Bolsheviks and end the fighting by peaceful means......"

Napokov did not tire of stressing the significance and necessity of the negotiations. The height of its theory is so high that it makes Qiuba like Yazov drowsy. It took a long time for him to interrupt Napokov's words and bring the high-minded Mr. Duma back to the point:

"Sir, what do you need me to do for the negotiations?"

"Uh......" Napokov suddenly became a little embarrassed, and he said with a twist, "Yes, the National Salvation Revolutionary Committee needs you to send a reliable officer to convey our will for peace to the Bolsheviks......"

"Huh?" Yazov glared at Napokov angrily and asked, "We soldiers only know how to fight, and the work of negotiation is more suitable for gentlemen who can speak well like you, right?" ”

Napokov's face turned red, he couldn't say that the masters of the National Salvation and Revolutionary Committee were greedy for life and afraid of death, and they didn't dare to deal with the Bolsheviks. Their lives are very expensive, this kind of uncreative work, let those stupid Qiu Ba do it!

Although he knew that being a negotiator was not as dangerous as he imagined, the Bolsheviks were often more rational than these dog masters, and they generally would not attack the negotiators. However, what made him angry was the attitude of the National Salvation Revolutionary Committee, you grandsons who have not achieved enough things and have more than enough failures, really regard yourself as an uncle!

Yazov felt that from the very beginning, the grandfathers of the National Salvation Revolutionary Committee were pig teammates, and Kulikov's proposal to fight street battles on the basis of buildings was rejected by them, with the result that more than half of his soldiers died in direct firefights with the Bolsheviks.

Later, when the Alexei Military Technical Academy had not yet been completely surrounded, he suggested that the National Salvation Revolutionary Committee break through the siege, but the other party refused under various excuses, in fact, he was afraid of death. After being completely surrounded, the bastards shouted hoarsely to break out...... Until now, when they could no longer hold on, they could only grovel and beg the Bolsheviks for peace, and they were not even willing to be negotiators.

You guys can't just take no responsibility and throw all the danger to your teammates, just thinking about picking up the bargain, right?

Therefore, Yazov categorically rejected Napokov's proposal, "We are only soldiers, only responsible for fighting, and negotiations are the business of you literati." If you want to negotiate, go for yourself! ”

After saying this, he turned his head and left, now Napokov was really anxious, quickly grabbed him, accompanied by a smile and said: "You must understand the difficulties of the National Salvation Revolutionary Committee, the Bolsheviks have been trying every means to persecute us, I am afraid it is not a good choice for us to go!" ”

Persecute your sister! Yazov complained in his heart: Lao Tzu has never seen such a despicable person as you when he has seen shamelessness. And the Bolsheviks persecuted you, your uncle, even if Lao Tzu is your teammate, you can't stand it, you guys have always been looking for trouble with the Bolsheviks, persecuting them, right?

Suddenly Yazov became even more impatient, he shook off Napokov's hand, and said coldly: "It's still the same sentence, if you want to survive and negotiate, then go yourself." It's not my obligation! ”

Napokov hurriedly grabbed Yazov's arm again, and laughed even more obscenely: "Colonel, don't be rash...... If this doesn't work, let's send a representative each, and let's go together! ”

The disdain in Yazov's heart has reached the extreme, if he hadn't worn this military uniform, he would definitely have brushed his sleeves away. But who made him loyal to the Provisional Government?

He sighed, "Let's go." Let's go together! ”

Ten minutes later. The Bolshevik fighters, who were besieging the White stronghold, suddenly found that the enemy had raised a white flag.

"Are these dog mongrels ready to surrender?" One of the warriors asked excitedly.

"I'm afraid not!" Another fighter replied, "I'm afraid they're trying to negotiate with us." ”

"Negotiations? What else is there to talk about, they are already surrounded by us, they are turtles in the urn, what else to talk about? Do they think we're going to open the net? ”

"Who knows! Where can we guess the idea of the White Army Dog mongrel, don't mumble, go and inform the company commander......"

A few minutes later. Captain Kulikov, who acted as negotiators under the white flag, and Napokov's secretary were taken to Li Xiaofeng's headquarters.

"You want to negotiate?" Li Xiaofeng sat on the chair and asked lazily.

According to the previous agreement, the official negotiator was Napokov's secretary, but the little man with a greasy face seemed to be frightened, and the pestle was like a piece of wood, and he could not say a word.

Li Xiaofeng asked again impatiently: "Are you here to negotiate?" ”

The secretary still didn't speak, and at this time, Kulikov next to him couldn't help it, glared at the conspicuous pig teammates beside him, stepped forward, and replied in a deep voice: "Yes, we were ordered to come to negotiate." I'm Matvey. Captain Kulikov, what do you call it? ”

Li Xiaofeng glanced at Kulikov. He looked contemptuously at his pig teammates, and it was clear that the two men were not in the same group, one was obviously a tried and tested soldier, and the other was a cowardly coward.

"Andrey. Petrovich, the commissar of the Council of People's Commissars and the All-Russian Soviet of Workers' and Soldiers' Deputies, is also the commander-in-chief here! ”

Kulikov glanced at Li Xiaofeng in surprise, when he came in just now, he didn't take the lazy Li Xiaofeng seriously, because someone was too young, and his attention was on Vladimirsky and Pjanitsky next to him. But Li Xiaofeng startled him as soon as he spoke, such a young kid is the commander-in-chief?

Kulikov subconsciously glanced at Vladimirsky and Pjanitsky, as if he wanted to verify something, but the answer he got was very positive, how could the two of them have objections.

Immediately he was taken aback, and after a long silence, Kulikov spoke again: "Andrey. Mr. Petrovich, are you sure that you are the person in charge here? ”

Li Xiaofeng smiled and said nonchalantly: "Sure, sure, sure!" ”

Kulikov swallowed, "Okay then! I'll put it bluntly, the National Salvation Revolutionary Committee feels that there is no point in us continuing to fight...... In order to reduce unnecessary casualties and bloodshed, the National Salvation Revolutionary Committee believes that we should end the fighting through negotiations! ”

Li Xiaofeng yawned and asked lazily, "Say, what are your conditions?" ”

Kulikov was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect someone to go straight to the point, he thought that he would say a lot of useless nonsense before getting to the point, "Our conditions are very simple," he said slowly, "you remove the siege, ensure the safety of all the members of the National Salvation Revolutionary Committee, and allow them to leave Moscow safely......"

"Wait a minute," Li Xiaofeng looked at him with a smile and said sarcastically, "Don't you think these conditions are ridiculous?" Why should we remove the siege, and why should we let the conspirators and villains leave? Don't you think that's ridiculous? ”

Kulikov actually thinks that this condition is too ridiculous, now that people are swordsmen and I am fish and meat, why should people let you leave safely, just because you are handsome?

However, Kulikov could not change these conditions, he could only reply mechanically: "I'm sorry, these conditions were put forward by the National Salvation Revolutionary Committee, I just repeat their opinions, and in addition to the above conditions, the National Salvation Revolutionary Committee also demanded that the army protecting them could not surrender their weapons......"

Li Xiaofeng interrupted him impatiently: "You are not qualified to ask for anything, have you ever heard that the turtle in the urn can still bargain!" ”

Kulikov's face was red, and he couldn't speak, he actually mustered up the courage to say those absurd conditions just now, to be honest, even he felt that these conditions were simply whimsical, and only the brain-dead would mention such nonsensical conditions.

"Please show more respect to the National Salvation Revolutionary Committee!"

Kulikov had not yet spoken, but the little secretary, who had been silent by his side, suddenly spoke, and he seemed to find that the Bolsheviks were not man-eating demons. Suddenly he became bolder.

"The Committee for the Salvation of the Revolution represents the will of all the Russian people. No one can fight them! The little secretary said angrily.

Li Xiaofeng burst out laughing. "You say that the representative is the representative? I can also represent the will of all mankind! Who wouldn't speak in the vernacular? After a pause, he continued: "None of you can represent it now, the reality determines that you are just a group of clowns who jump off the beam, and you are not qualified to bargain!" ”

The little secretary was so angry that his face turned white, and threatened: "Don't be too arrogant, you can be proud now, but soon you will not be complacent!" ”

Li Xiaofeng stretched his waist and said lightly: "Then you just wait slowly!" He said. He no longer paid attention to the brain-dead little secretary, and said to Kulikov: "Please go back and tell such a bullshit committee, don't mention some brain-dead conditions in the future, and don't send some brain-dead guys to negotiate...... You tell them that they are not qualified to negotiate terms, and if they don't want to die, then immediately lay down their arms and surrender obediently. Otherwise, we will wipe out all the die-hard elements! ”

"You're stubborn!" When the little secretary heard this, he jumped to his feet, "You damned traitors." I warn you to accept the conditions at once. Otherwise yours ......"

Kulikov slashed the fool with a knife in his hand, he couldn't stand it anymore, and if he was allowed to continue to scream, he wouldn't even be able to get out of the room.

"I'm sorry," Kulikov laughed dryly, "I guess you also know that there are a lot of fools in the National Salvation Revolutionary Committee. ”

Actually, Li Xiaofeng was quite surprised by Kulikov's actions, because he had no reason to do so, especially when he said later that there were more fools in the National Salvation and Revolutionary Committee, and the meaning of currying favor with Lu was even clearer, did this guy want to?

"You guessed right," Kulikov sighed, "I don't think there's any point in continuing to fight, the National Salvation Revolutionary Committee is finished, they don't have any hope in Moscow!" ”

"So you want to surrender?" Li Xiaofeng asked with interest.

"Surrender?" Kulikov repeated bitterly, and said in frustration: "That's right, I have this plan, I can't tolerate the boys continuing to shed blood and sacrifice for the National Salvation Revolutionary Committee, those fools are not worthy of such a great sacrifice for it!" ”

Speaking of this, Kulikov's face suddenly turned hideous, "Mr. Andrei, don't think I'm a coward, I'm a veteran, I've beaten Japanese monkeys, I've beaten Germans, I've been injured several times, I'm not afraid of death!" But I want to die meaningfully! Now, I don't see the meaning, so I decided to find a way out. Not only for myself, but also for my comrades! ”

Kulikov took a deep breath: "Now, I would like to have an open and honest conversation with you, if we surrender, will you be able to guarantee our safety...... This we, not including the fools of the National Salvation Revolutionary Committee! ”

Li Xiaofeng touched his chin, thought for a moment, and said solemnly: "Since you want to be open and honest, then I can be open and honest, for this battle, I have no intention of accepting prisoners." Because there are quite a few diehards among you and your comrades...... They are bent on opposing us Bolsheviks, and letting them go is tantamount to letting the tiger go back to the mountains......"

Kulikov's face suddenly became grim, he could hear that Li Xiaofeng was not lying, someone did have the intention of cutting the grass and eradicating the roots, if so, then what is the point of all this?

Kulikov was confused, he didn't know where to go, and at this moment, Li Xiaofeng continued: "But now, as a veteran who supported the provisional government, a former diehard, you can change and start to become war-weary...... Although I don't know if your conversion is permanent or temporary. But I thought I could give you a chance! ”

Li Xiaofeng looked at Kulikov with blazing eyes, and said quite resolutely: "If you lay down your arms and surrender unconditionally...... Then I can make a guarantee that your lives will be safe. ”

"That's really good......," Kulikov was so happy that he was about to speak, but Li Xiaofeng interrupted him: "I haven't finished my sentence yet, but you must spend some time in our custody, and during this time, you must not leave our designated barracks, you must not communicate with the former Provisional Government, and you must not engage in any activities against the People's Commissariat." That's my condition! ”

Kulikov frowned, he thought for a moment and asked, "How long is this period of time?" Also, who will provide our basic livelihood during our detention? ”

"Three months!" Li Xiaofeng stretched out three fingers, "In three months, you can be free." As for the question of living, we will supply you with supplies according to the average of the inhabitants of Moscow, ensuring that you do not go hungry! ”

"What about wages?" Kulikov asked, "Most of us still need to feed our families......

"You are prisoners," Li Xiaofeng said with a smile, "You think we will pay a group of prisoners who don't do anything?" There is nothing so good in this world! ”

Kulikov just wanted to argue, but Li Xiaofeng said very politely: "This is my most embarrassing condition, and I personally think that this is already extremely generous!" So I'm not going to accept any bargaining! (To be continued......)
