335 reversed the situation

Li Xiaofeng admired the calmness that the mentor had just pretended to be in front of Stalin, I'm afraid Comrade Iron and Steel didn't expect that the mentor was completely acting, right? However, what made Li Xiaofeng puzzle was why the mentor wanted to act in this play, if the situation was really so critical, then it was inevitable that the preservation force would immediately organize a retreat and transfer, so why bother to make a show?

In fact, the reason is very simple, and the Mentor immediately gave an explanation: "There are absolutely enemy agents lurking in our party, and if our righteous and bright organization retreats and transfers, it will be immediately perceived by the enemy, and it is difficult to guarantee that they will not attack in advance." So we have to be loose on the outside and tight on the inside, and we must create a relaxed atmosphere to paralyze the enemy! ”

Now Li Xiaofeng understands that the tutor is a false and real person, and he is trying his best to gain time, to put it bluntly, it is a smoke bomb. Thinking about Stalin's happy appearance just now, Li Xiaofeng couldn't help but mourn in silence for Comrade Steel, you are happy in vain, and the mentor is simply using you as a pawn.

Li Xiaofeng was still waiting to sigh with emotion, but Lenin was already impatient, in the eyes of the mentor, the task has been issued, you kid should race against time to grab time, what does it mean to rely on not leaving?

Li Xiaofeng smiled and explained, "I still have something to report to you." ”

"What's the matter?"

Lenin wondered, what could be more important than the preservation of the party? Can you kid be serious!

"I'm trying to introduce you to someone."

Lenin angrily asked, "Who?" ”

"General Mannerheim."

Lenin naturally knew who Mannerheim was, but in fact someone asked Mannerheim to be a military adviser, which caused a lot of criticism in the party, and many core party members thought that it was very inappropriate for someone to appoint the bureaucrats of the bourgeoisie and the old aristocracy to manage the ranks of the proletariat.

However, these offensives were easily defused by Lenin, and it was not that the Mentor also appreciated Mannerheim's talent, in fact the Mentor did not want to see Mannerheim, and if he could, he did not want to appoint him.

However, the mentor knows that there is a real lack of military talents in the party, and someone is forced to do so, and besides, Mannerheim is only an adviser in the final analysis, and the command and control of the army are in the hands of the party.

And now that someone wants to introduce an outsider at such a critical juncture, this kind of behavior seemed to Lenin to be extremely brainless, and he reprimanded very unceremoniously: "Comrade Andrey, what the hell are you doing? Don't you know what Mannerheim is about? ”

"I know very well." Li Xiaofeng replied sincerely.

Lenin was furious: "Then you want me to see him!" ”

Li Xiaofeng hurriedly explained: "Of course, Mannerheim does not support ** in politics, I know this very well, and I have had a lot of exchanges with him, so I can't make him change to the side of ** for the time being......"

Lenin laughed angrily: "Then you still ......"

"Listen to me!" Li Xiaofeng hurriedly said, "But Mannerheim is not an anti-**, he is not a person from the Provisional Government, otherwise he would not have accepted the job of an adviser to the Red Eagle Regiment." Personally, I think he is an important figure in how our party handles relations with Finland after it has succeeded in seizing power. As a nationalist, he represents the aspirations of a large part of the Finn population, and it is not a bad thing to reach out and communicate with him in advance! ”

Lenin did not expect someone to think so far ahead, and that the Bolsheviks had already begun to take power after they were still working as cold benchers. It should be said that this is a good thing to take precautions, but Lenin thought that someone was so ambitious?

"Comrade Andrey, your ideas are good, but ......," Lenin pondered his words, "but is it too early for us to start thinking about the future of Finland?" ”

"It's not early at all!" Li Xiaofeng said confidently, "The representatives of the people in Finland have expressed their desire for independence to the provisional government several times......

Lenin interrupted him: "I know that the Provisional Government did not give them good colors, did it? Although I personally sympathize with and understand the wishes of the Finns, we don't have the energy to ...... right now."

"I don't think it takes a lot of effort to put in the effort, for us, as long as we show an attitude to the Finns, then they may give us valuable support for the next period of time," Li said. ”

Lenin was stunned for a moment and asked rhetorically: "What support can Finland give us?" ”

"In view of the fact that the next ** will fall into a low ebb, our enemies will be very cruelly strangled**, whether it is to preserve strength or to carry out the ** struggle covertly, Finland, which is very close to Petrograd, has an extremely important role for our party!"

Lenin nodded thoughtfully and commanded: "You go on." ”

"First of all, if the Provisional Government and the Soviets really do something against us, the Party Central Committee can be transferred to Finland, where we can continue the struggle of **; Secondly, Finland is the only channel for Russia to communicate with the outside world, and it is very convenient to get in touch with foreign countries; After the last, the base of the Red Eagle Regiment was in Finland, where the Party Central Committee would be very safe, and from there it was not far to Petrograd! ”

Lenin nodded silently, agreeing with Li Xiaofeng's statement, but the mentor still didn't think that this had anything to do with meeting Mannerheim.

Li Xiaofeng patiently explained: "General Mannerheim has a lot of influence in Finland, and if he can cooperate with our actions, all of the above will be more guaranteed, after all, Finland is still nominally part of the Russian Empire, and it is not ruled out that the provisional government may put pressure on the Finnish authorities to suppress the activities of our party." ”

Lenin pondered for a long time before asking: "What kind of person is Mannerheim?" ”

As soon as he heard this, Li Xiaofeng knew that the matter was half done, and immediately explained: "In essence, he is not a bad person, but because of the relationship between class attributes and education, he cannot realize the importance of the proletariat, and he tends to be conservative politically." However, it is commendable that he is a man of considerable political talent, who knows how to make trade-offs on the basis of principle, and who will agree to cooperate with us as long as Finland's independence can be guaranteed. ”

Lenin glanced at Li Xiaofeng and asked, "How do you think that I will support Finland's independence?" What if I object? ”

Li Xiaofeng smiled and said, "If you object, then it's not you." One of the greatest things about Comrade Lenin is the national idea of the proletariat, and you have great sympathy for the weaker peoples who have been forced to join the territory of the Russian Empire, and you have sympathy for their situation, and you will absolutely fully respect their own national will. At this point, there is no second person in the world who can have such a profound and advanced ...... as you."

"That's it!" Lenin waved his hand impatiently and interrupted someone: "Stop slapping the sycophants, let Mannerheim in!" If he's as good as you say, then I don't mind talking to him. ”

Li Xiaofeng breathed a sigh of relief, for the sake of future political planning and future cooperation with Mannerheim, he made a small gamble today. Sure enough, Lenin's national policy was as open-minded as ever, and he did not oppose the national self-determination or even independence of the ethnic minorities conquered by the tsar.

After a few quick explanations to Mannerheim, Li Xiaofeng left without stopping, his task today is still very heavy, not only to detect the movements of Rojiangko, Kerensky and Korninov, but he also has to be busy diverting his own business.

First of all, he went back to the Youth League, took away all the confidential documents and files of the Central Committee of the League, and instructed Kosygin to start the evacuation work immediately. Immediately afterwards he found the Yakov siblings.

"Today at the earliest, tomorrow at the latest, Petrograd will have a big change. Be careful, don't get involved in politics, and don't expose your ties with the Bolsheviks! He warned.

Natalia was a little puzzled: "For what?" Didn't the radio say that you had reached an agreement with the government and that peace would come soon? ”。

Li Xiaofeng said contemptuously: "That's all a delaying tactic, I tell you clearly, the government is forced to agree to these conditions, and their reinforcements are already on the way." You can imagine if those old men had the confidence to reshuffle the cards, would they care about any agreement? ”。

Yakov and Natalia's faces turned pale for a while, and Li Xiaofeng continued: "Soon Petrograd will experience a bloody storm, or even a great chaos in the world, and you can't afford to participate in this matter!" ”

Yakov frowned and asked, "Then the Bolsheviks just watched the tragedy happen?" ”

Li Xiaofeng glanced at him and said contemptuously: "What else can I do if I don't look at it?" We did everything we could yesterday, but a considerable number of people haven't recognized the faces of those old men yet, and they still have a fluke mentality, so they won't let them suffer a little, will they be sober? ”。

The Yakov brothers and sisters were speechless for a while about someone's coldness, but they couldn't think of any reason to refute it, so they just sighed silently.

"But don't be too frustrated!" Li Xiaofeng saw that the atmosphere was a little depressed, so he hurriedly cheered up: "The difficult situation is only temporary, those old men will not be arrogant for long, three months at most, and a month at the earliest, the situation will be completely reversed!" ”

Natalia was stunned and said, "Where did you get this confidence!" ”

Li Xiaofeng didn't bother to explain, and couldn't help but order: "You don't care where my confidence comes from, I can't understand it when I tell you." Now there's an even more important task for you to do - keep an eye on those old men's every move, and warn me before they do, my SCR-300 radio is on 24 hours a day......"

Li Xiaofeng left in a hurry, Natalia snorted, and asked very skeptically, "Is his word reliable?" ”。

Yakov sighed: "There is no way to be unreliable, I can only choose to trust him." ”

After saying that, he stood up and hurried out, and Natalia chased after him and asked, "Where are you going?" ”

Yakov said without looking back: "Engage in intelligence!" ”

While Li Xiaofeng was actively and nervously carrying out his actions, the common people of Petrograd and the vast majority of the Bolsheviks did not know that the crisis had quietly come, and at this time they were still immersed in the joy of victory, singing and dancing in the streets, and innocently celebrating the advent of peace.

Denikin disdainfully closed the curtains, the noise outside irritated him, for the future Russian "national hero", the cheering people in the streets were traitors and should all be shot.

"Ravl, haven't the troops arrived yet?". He asked Kornilov, who was standing in front of the Petrograd defense map, anxiously.

Old Kornilov took off his monocle, carefully wiped it with a cloth, and replied slowly: "It's soon." ”

Wait for you to impatiently ask, "How long is it going to be fast?" You told me an hour ago that it was fast, but now it's fast, and the noise outside makes me unbearable! ”

Kornilov smiled lightly and said unconcernedly: "Why be angry with a group of people who are doomed? The victors have to have the generosity of the winners, and the happier they are, the more they will let their guard down, which is good for our upcoming operation! ”

Denikin sat down angrily: "I just can't stand this presumptuousness, look at the damn bastards on the streets, they weren't so happy when we won the battle, they pissed me off!" ”

Kornilov's face showed a hint of indifference, he was also very unaccustomed to the crowd singing and dancing on the streets, he felt that it was a group of complete cowards, when these soldiers were throwing their heads and spilling their blood for Russia on the front line, but these cowards were shamelessly pulling their hind legs......

His breathing suddenly became heavier, and his emotions began to become unstable, he quickly took a few deep breaths, suppressed the resentment in his heart, and said lightly: "Let them be happy, they will cry immediately!" ”

While he was talking, Shu Lijin pushed the door and came in, asking, "Who is crying?" Is it Rojiangko? ”。

Kornilov did not answer this question, but asked rhetorically: "Has the circulation line been cleared?" Did the troublemakers give in? ”

Shu Lijin poured himself a glass of wine, tilted his neck and drank it all: "Tsk, good wine!" Striking workers are no longer a problem, my men have replaced them, and your troops will soon be able to march into Petrograd! ”

Denikin laughed angrily: "I'm very suspicious of this, your people are complete waste!" If they hadn't dropped the chain in the Ksheshinskaya Palace, we would have won a long time ago, so why bother! ”

Shu Lijin's face turned red, the farce of the Ksheshinskaya Palace made him lose face, although he shot all the members of the Black Centurium who participated in the robbery afterwards, but the big mistake has been made, and it is useless to kill people to wash away the shame.

"Don't worry!" Shu Lijin made a guarantee, "This time our core force is personally dispatched, you should know their ability very well!" ”

Denikin's face changed, he was full of fear about the core strength of Shu Lijin, the last time those people just showed their hands, it made his back chill, you can imagine how the devil will deal with the striking workers.

Shu Lijin was very satisfied with the fear shown by Denikin, and did not care about his sarcasm just now, but asked: "My generals, have you already drawn up a plan, I don't want to repeat yesterday's scene!" ”

Kornilov replied: "We will concentrate our efforts on taking the Kosheshinskaya Palace first, smashing the core of the Bolshevik leadership in one fell swoop, and after destroying the Bolsheviks, then turning our heads to deal with the rebels in the Peter and Paul Fortress!" ”

Shu Lijin said dissatisfied: "This is too simple, right?" ”

Denikin interjected with a smile: "In the face of absolute strength, it's that simple!" Our troops are armed with heavy artillery, and anyone who tries to stop the car with their arms will be ruthlessly crushed! ”

Shu Lijin said happily: "I like the word crush very much...... Well, what about Rodencko and the Soviets? They're not going to resist that, are they? ”

Kornilov said disdainfully: "Fat Luo is very much in favor of crushing the Bolsheviks, but there are different opinions within the Soviets, and they want to salute before they fight." ”

The opinion of the Soviets was clear: although they supported the government's counterinsurgency efforts, they did not consider it appropriate to use overly drastic measures in view of the armistice that had just been signed.

"Politically untenable!" At a meeting of the Central Executive Committee, Plekhanov said, "We should gradually put pressure on the Bolsheviks to submit to their knees. And not first tear up the armistice with the ink not dry. If we do that, we will be a complete political failure! ”

Tseretiri did not support the old man's opinion, and he unequivocally supported all the measures of the government: "That armistice was originally a concession that we were forced to make by the Bolsheviks, and the reason why we made concessions was to wait for reinforcements, to destroy the Bolsheviks!" And now that we have waited for everything we want, how can we stop because of an alliance under the city! ”

Tsereteri waved his fist and shouted: "Now we need no scruples at all, it's time for the Bolsheviks, for Lenin to taste the might!" We must suppress their arrogance by forceful means and make them understand that no one can threaten the Soviets!! ”

Tseleteli's speech received a lot of applause, and it can be seen that a considerable part of the Central Executive Committee members were so enraged by the Bolsheviks' "blackmail" that they could not wait to retaliate with a tooth for tat, without even thinking about the possible bad effects!

The old man thought that if he really did this, the Bolsheviks would benefit the most, and he used his personal prestige to force Tseretelli again, advocating that the Bolsheviks should issue an ultimatum first, and if the other party was still stubborn, he would not be in a hurry to take measures.

Soon Lenin received this ultimatum, and he had been mentally prepared for a long time for the Soviets' disapproval, so the mentor did not care about throwing the ultimatum back to Sverdlov.

"Broadcast it on the radio and expose the true face of the Soviets and the Provisional Government." "Then inform all the party members that they are ready for a new struggle!" he commanded. ”
