228 Persuasion (Medium)

There is no way, Li Xiaofeng will not come, as the saying goes, there is no diamond and no porcelain work. In the eyes of others, tricky troubles are just a piece of cake in Li Xiaofeng's eyes.

Pushing the door in, like all Soviet primary school teachers, His Royal Highness Crown Prince Aliksey's home is quite small, in the words of later generations, two bedrooms and one living room, there is no kitchen and toilet, and the conditions are really not good.

Was the Soviet government so stingy that it didn't even give a decent house to the former prince? Naturally not, the Soviet Union is not short of such a set of two houses, if you can really make this prince His Royal Highness a template, not to mention apartments, it is also drizzling to give a villa.

The only reason is that His Royal Highness the prince declined the preferential treatment and strongly demanded to be an ordinary citizen and eat according to his ability. Naturally, his conditions here are not very good.

However, Li Xiaofeng can still see that the former royal life still has an impact on His Royal Highness the prince, his home is not small in space, but it is well arranged, quite a simple and warm feeling. It's very atmospheric anyway. And His Royal Highness the Prince himself also cleaned up neatly, ironing neatly suits, spotlessly polished leather shoes, and obediently shining head.

Anyway, the first feeling that His Royal Highness the prince gives you is at least an intellectual and tasteful person, unlike some old revolutionaries, the house at home is big enough, and the decoration is luxurious enough, but it gives people a strange feeling of nouveau riche and tyrants.

It seems that the proverb that it takes three generations to produce a nobleman is not false, and Prince Alexei poked there casually, which is better than some old revolutionaries who wear gold and silver.

"Who are you?"

Prince Alexei had not met a certain immortal. But he could see that the panache of a certain immortal was definitely not small. At the very least, he must be the secretary of the municipal party committee or the secretary of an important leader of the provincial party committee. This is some time. There are quite a few such prominent "dignitaries", and now Alexei can roughly distinguish the general identity of the person at a glance.

This time, though, Alexei was surprised, because his guess was not accurate, and the age of a certain immortal misled him.

"I'm Andrey. Petrovich. Sbelowsky ......"

Although Alexei did not know a certain immortal, he had definitely heard of the name of a certain immortal, and some time ago someone's name was repeated in the newspapers, and he was a member of the Politburo who went to the front line to fight the Nazis. Combat hero of the Battle of Bryansk.

As a young man (Alexei was born in 1904), once upon a time Alexei also had heroic dreams, and as a child, when he was still the crown prince, he was taught more than once to act as a guardian of Russia.

At that time, Alexei's mind was full of various heroic images, and he fantasized more than once about the moment when he would become a hero. But the reality is cruel, hemophilia ruined Alexei's dream of becoming a hero. This damn genetic disease made him not to say to save the world, and even to be more careful in ordinary life, a small wound could kill him.

So, after the outbreak of the Great Patriotic War. Even His Royal Highness, the prince who was not afraid of death, volunteered to join the army, but he was ruthlessly rejected. Because everybody knows. Letting him join the army is tantamount to murder.

If you can't become a hero who saves the world, then Alexei can only worship heroes, and he admires those heroes who come out of the rain of bullets and the sea of corpses and blood from the bottom of his heart.

Therefore, at the moment when he recognized a certain immortal, His Royal Highness the somewhat stubborn prince suddenly became excited, and when he hurriedly invited a certain immortal into the house, he almost tripped over a dog with his left foot and his right foot.

I have to say that this made Li Xiaofeng take advantage of it, as the idol of His Royal Highness the Prince, he could gain Alexei's favor at the beginning, which is different from other lobbyists.

Of course, the mere difference in starting points was not enough to convince the stubborn prince. When Alexei heard about the intention of a certain immortal, he immediately said: "Comrade Andrei, I don't understand why you want me to inherit that dirty throne. As a person of true conscience, you should be well aware that our enemies are the evil exploiting class, and as the most shameless and ugly so-called royal family of the exploiting class for thousands of years, they are the enemies of our enemies. Our goal is to destroy these ugly demons and create a new world of complete equality. And now you're suggesting that I'm moving closer to those devils...... Comrade Andrey, don't you know how much I hate them and how much I want to be permanently and completely severed with them? ”

Li Xiaofeng also had to admire Lenin, Trotsky and Dzerzhinsky's transformation of His Royal Highness the prince, who was already a purebred Bolshevik at heart. Look at his expression, his tone, much more heartfelt than some old revolutionaries. It's enough to put the old revolutionaries in name only to shame.

At this time, Alexei continued to shout: "You shouldn't make such a low-level mistake like those people. I hope you understand my feelings, I really don't want to go back to the life I used to have! ”

Li Xiaofeng smiled and said very calmly: "What if I still suggest that you accept the throne of Norway?" ”

Alexei was taken aback and screamed incredulously: "How is it possible, how can you be as superficial as those people? You...... You've let me down so much! ”

Li Xiaofeng was still very calm, he pressed his palm, motioned to a certain prince to control his emotions, and waited for him to calm down a little before continuing: "I suggest you accept the Norwegian throne for a reason......" As he spoke, he made a gesture to the guards, signaling them to temporarily isolate unrelated people.

After there was no interference from outsiders, he said slowly: "There is a reason why the Politburo is unanimously inclined to you to accept the Norwegian throne, it's not that we don't understand your personal emotions, we know it's painful for you." However, we believe that your personal suffering is negligible compared to Norway as a whole. ”

If it weren't for Alexei, if someone else listened to the speech of a certain immortal, they would probably be furious, Nima, didn't you say that Lao Tzu is insignificant?

But Alexei didn't think so. Already a hardcore Bolshevik fan, he naturally accepted this statement. He also thinks. He as an individual is necessarily less important than the Norwegian people as a whole. In his own words: "His personal likes and dislikes and feelings are not worth mentioning in comparison with the Norwegian proletariat. ”

Even, this thing liked the way a certain immortal spoke, compared to the previous lobbyists who boasted about how great, how important, and how amazing he was, he felt that a certain immortal was telling the truth, and that was what a real Bolshevik should be.

Li Xiaofeng knew that his words had worked. So he continued: "You should know the situation in Norway now, two-thirds of the territory was occupied by Nazi Germany, and the people were living in misery. At the same time, the British imperialists set their sights on Norway and installed and formed a puppet government of the bourgeoisie that was completely subordinate to them, which was quite deceptive and deceptive. It is quite possible that after our victory over the Nazis, they will use this puppet regime to continue to enslave the Norwegian people, and even pull the innocent Norwegian people into their evil chariot to use to contain us. At that time, Norway will become a bridgehead for imperialism to strangle the world revolution! ”

Alexey was suppressed. And this is exactly the effect that Li Xiaofeng wants to see, to deal with this kind of angry youth who admits death and drills the horns of the bull. Then you have to hold their seven inches, and you have to buckle them with big hats, so that they can't regret it even if they want to.

What's more, Alexei is not an ordinary angry youth, those ordinary angry youths are not ignorant of reason, but deliberately pretend not to understand, and the angry youth are just a cover for them. Angry youths like Alexei are pure and unadulterated true indignant youths who believe in the theories they believe in and are willing to pay any price for the practice of such theories.

It's just that this kind of angry young brains are all single-circuit, that is, the so-called brain can't turn around, and can only think in a straight line, such as Alexey, he asked: "What does this have to do with your request for me to inherit the Norwegian throne?" ”

Li Xiaofeng deliberately straightened his face and pretended to be very serious and said, "Comrade Alexey, don't you still understand? The Politburo does not want you to inherit the throne and live the extravagant life of the decay and decline of the royal family, but wants you to do your part to break the enemy's conspiracy, and now the Soviet people and the Norwegian people need your help! ”

Although Alexei was still confused and didn't know what kind of help he could provide, he was still very happy with what a certain immortal said. Especially that "Comrade Alexey." It made him a little ecstatic, why?

In the Soviet Union, not all people could be called comrades, such as the counter-revolutionaries, such as the exploiting classes, and if you called them comrades, it would be a serious political mistake. Although Alexei was neither a counter-revolutionary nor an exploiting class, he could not have been a comrade of the Bolsheviks.

So, in life, there are people who call him Mr. Aliksey, and there are people who call him Mr. Niner, but no one calls him comrade. And for a loyal Marxist believer, it is undoubtedly painful to be unable to live an organizational life without the identification of comrades.

Alexei envied those who were able to join the party and join the league more than once, and how he wished that he could also have the day when he could take the glorious oath under the party flag. Of course, he also knew that this day might not come, so he retreated to the next best, hoping that one day, he could be called comrade, and then he would be very satisfied.

Undoubtedly, the "comrade" of a certain immortal is even more comfortable than killing a horse and a chicken for Alexei, at that moment, His Royal Highness the prince is like eating ginseng fruit, that comfort and that beauty!

Yes, Alexei felt that even if he died immediately, this life would be worth it. I have to say, this is really a little pity that is too easily satisfied.

And Li Xiaofeng has also been paying close attention to Alexei's expression, and it is clear that this time he has succeeded again. Well, at least half the battle. Next, as long as he doesn't make a fool, it won't be a problem at all to take down this dumb prince.

Li Xiaofeng continued: "The Politburo hopes that you, Comrade Alexei, will take on this important task, and that you will inherit the Norwegian throne and form a truly enlightened, democratic and revolutionary new Norwegian government, with which you will lead the Norwegian people to a better future." That's why we're asking you to inherit the Norwegian throne! ”

Alexei was moved, and he couldn't help but think if he could do this. Does it mean that he will become a real revolutionary. What about becoming a great hero of the world revolution? That moment. His Royal Highness's heroic dream has sprouted again, and it is out of control.

However, this does not mean that Alexei is completely unconcerned, and he cautiously asks: "But shouldn't a true revolutionary stay away from that rotten life?" As a revolutionary, how can I be like the exploiting class that eats people? ”

Li Xiaofeng said in his heart: "I serve you." But on the surface, he still had to patiently explain: "People live in this world, some are lighter than a feather, and some are heavier than Mount Tai. The difference is what you contribute to this world. Fight for the ideals of the Great World Revolution. This is heavier than Mount Tai. To endure humiliation for the sake of the great world revolution is also heavier than Mount Tai. And to cower for the sake of one's own honor, and to care only for one's own feathers, and not to care about the sufferings of other proletarians, is called lighter than a feather. ”

Speaking of this, Li Xiaofeng patted Alexei on the shoulder and asked, "My comrade, do you want to be heavier than Mount Tai or lighter than Hongmao?" ”

Alexei immediately stopped talking, so Li Xiaofeng persisted and persuaded: "And let you inherit the Norwegian throne." It doesn't mean that you live that kind of drunken dream, rotten and rotten life! Even a king can be pure and simple. It is also possible to live with your own hands. And your actions will become a model, a mirror, you can let the princes and nobles of Europe see how you are a king to support yourself, and you will show them with practical actions that they can live with their own hands and become a glorious laborer! ”

Alexei's eyes widened in an instant, and they became more energetic, and even began to glow. Li Xiaofeng's words opened a new door for him and made his thinking suddenly clear.

He immediately said: "Comrade Andrey, you said it too well, you said it too right. I can't shirk these responsibilities, I can take concrete actions to transform those declining and decaying royal families, and show them how valuable it is to be a self-supporting worker! I'm sorry I didn't realize this at all, and I didn't think that my seemingly noble behavior was actually extremely selfish. I am willing to cooperate with the Politburo to work in Norway, please give the order! ”

Looking at Prince Alexei's posture, he had the intention of finding an evil force to die with him, Li Xiaofeng was very satisfied with this effect, and he replied with a smile: "Comrade Alexey, there is no order. The Politburo fully respects the individual views of each comrade, and we have never intended to force you to do anything. And we think that you have always been a good comrade and will definitely be able to think through this problem, and I and the comrades who came before me are just helping you to figure out the essence of the problem more quickly. In this kind of major issue of right and wrong, it is right and right to think fully, and you don't need to apologize. As long as you work hard to do a good job, it is enough! ”

Prince Alexei was so moved that he shook hands with Li Xiaofeng vigorously, choking up so much that he could barely speak. Looking at this purebred Bolshevik prince, Li Xiaofeng also felt a little emotional, for this prince who lacked recognition, a comrade and a word of praise were a big surprise for him. Looking at the so-called comrades in the party, don't they feel ashamed?

Li Xiaofeng will never let honest people suffer, especially those honest people who are not at all hard-working and resentful, and their conscience is better to satisfy their reasons as much as he can.

"Comrade Alexey, because the task you have to shoulder is very critical and dangerous, our conversation today is top secret. The organization requires that you not disclose these conversations to anyone else. Of course, before you start this task, the organization also wants to know, what else do you personally require, or what difficulties do you need the organization to help you solve? ”

In fact, the first half of Li Xiaofeng's words are all nonsense, and there is only one thing about whether he keeps it secret or not, the reason why he said this is to make Alexei feel that he is very important and critical, and by the way, he leads to the second half of the words as a foreshadowing. To put it bluntly, he deliberately gave Alexei a chance to make a wish.

It's just that what Li Xiaofeng didn't expect was that Alexei shook his head: "Comrade Andrei, the organization has been very good to me, and I have no difficulties or requirements." ”

Li Xiaofeng was speechless, this Nima is too sincere, right? The opportunity to make a wish to a member of the Politburo which normal person would give up, put it aside, if he opens his mouth, the person who rushes to make a wish may break his brain.

Li Xiaofeng felt more and more that His Royal Highness the prince was cute, so he said: "Comrade Alexey, you don't have any doubts, you can put forward any request, this is a collective opinion of the organization, and it is also to allow you to better go to Norway to work, this is definitely not favoritism!" ”

Alixie really didn't ask for anything, since he became a believer in Marxism, he looked down on material comforts, he was no longer interested in them. Moreover, he already feels that his current life and material conditions are very good, and he does not think that there is any need for improvement at all.

It's just that Li Xiaofeng is too enthusiastic, and looking at that posture, he must solve a little difficulty for him, Alexei is really hard to shirk, after thinking for a long time, his eyes suddenly lit up, there is a question he has not been able to answer for a long time, take this opportunity, why not ask?

Alexei plucked up his courage and asked hesitantly: "Comrade Andrey, I have only one question, I want to know: why is my application for party membership always rejected?" (To be continued......)

PS: Sorry for the delay in the morning.

Bow and thank you to xvxinyi, the wasted s, Admiral Hood, Hawkli, Comrade Juventus!
