When he left Helsinki, Li Xiaofeng was in a good mood, convincing Mannerheim that it was important that if all went well, they would soon be able to start importing grain through Finland.

The food problem was of paramount importance, and even the Mentor was anxious about it, and if a breakthrough in the import of grain could be opened, it would be of outstanding significance for consolidating the power of the Bolsheviks.

Li Xiaofeng feels that if he can really alleviate the food crisis (which is almost impossible to solve it completely), then it should not be a big problem to get an alternate member of the Central Committee at next year's National Party Congress, and even a full-fledged Central Committee member can be expected.

However, it is a little regrettable that all this cannot completely relieve a certain immortal, and he is still very resistant to having to go to Sweden, and he doesn't know how to complete the unfortunate task assigned by the mentor.

Yes, the mentor said it very easily, as if he just went to Sweden, traveled around at public expense, and then went back to report a little. But in fact, the situation is not so simple, or the reason why the tutor said things so simply is to get someone to run errands obediently.

In fact, this job is not simple at all, and it is definitely not as easy as traveling at public expense. It is important to know that those who are now openly supporting the Politburo not making big concessions to Germany, with the influence of Trotsky, Stalin and Dzerzhinsky, will not easily give up their views if the Mentors cannot produce tangible evidence.

This also decides that a certain immortal must get something tangible on this trip, and it is impossible to get through it in confusion. Even. He also had to mention twelve points of caution. Trotsky and Stalin were now at odds with him. If someone is found to be cheating, then don't give him a platform to fix him to death!

Even if those two goods can open the unprecedentedly good heart to let a certain immortal and a horse, there is also an iron-faced selfless Dzerzhinsky who can't rub a little sand in his eyes, and with the urine nature of the iron-masked man's six relatives who don't recognize, it is impossible to let him go.

Anyway, in Li Xiaofeng's opinion, this mission is purely a pit father, and it is the mentor's brain cramps. Get it out and pit him.

"Oh, my comrade Lenin, you have made me miserable!" Holding on to the railing of the ship's side and looking at the Swedish coastline in the distance, a certain immortal had an urge to hit the wall.

"Why, haven't figured out a solution yet?" Erikson gloated.

For this heartless goods, Li Xiaofeng is really speechless, Lao Tzu's life is sad, what is your grandma's happiness? If I fall in Russia, you kid will have to be unlucky!

"If it's a big deal, you just go back and tell Lenin. Say you can't get the information, it's over! Instead of being scared by someone, Eriksen gave him a bad idea: "You can't figure out the bottom line of the Germans." They can't go online, right? ”

Li Xiaofeng glared at the playboy angrily, and said in his heart: You kid is really naïve, you don't know what political struggle is, and it is a bigger mistake to not get information than to get untrue intelligence! In the latter case, at most, it was squeezed by those three people, and the mentor was protected, although it may be very embarrassing, but there is no danger to political life!

And the former method is simply death, and the master has given you this task very seriously, which means that no matter what, you must complete the task, and if you can't complete the task, you will be disappointed and betrayed by his old man. What is the nature of this? To put it pessimistically, without the support of his mentor, Li Xiaofeng is a fart, and any head in the party can make him unable to eat and walk around.

If Li Xiaofeng was really brainless and deliberately did not complete the task assigned by his mentor, he would face the tragic situation of being abandoned by his mentor and then falling into the grave by Trotsky and Stalin.

Eriksen asked in a lost voice: "In other words, you will either really figure out the bottom line of the Germans on this trip, or you will have to carry the black pot?!" ”

Li Xiaofeng snorted lightly, expressing great disdain for Erikson's hindsight.

Suddenly, Erickson shook his head and asked incredulously, "Isn't this a clear trick for you?" Your mentors have gone too far! ”

Li Xiaofeng sighed again, he knew that Master Dao was not excessive, but there was no way out, because this task could only be given to him, and no one else was suitable.

For what? Listen to me slowly—

First of all, this task is of an extraordinary particularity, and now there are not a few bigwigs in the party who oppose the unconditional compromise of the Mentor with Germany, or the opposition occupies an absolute majority, including Stalin, the right-hand man of the Mentor, and one can imagine how great the resistance and pressure are.

In this case, in order to achieve his own political goals, the Mentor can only make this decision. But if you make a decision, you can't send someone who opposes you to take charge of this very important mission, right?

If you send someone pro-Stalin, it will not be directly exposed, it will not be all in vain! So those who do this deadly work can only pick people from the supported Sverdlov faction.

And then there's the second one, since you can only choose people from Sverdlov's faction, then it's important to choose who to choose, this person must be loyal to the mentor, but also have experience in intelligence work, and it is best to have made outstanding contributions in this area (otherwise it will be difficult for this person to get information about Germany!). ）。

Listing the necessary conditions, the candidates are already about to come out, and the most suitable candidate seems to be only a certain immortal. And there is another advantage to letting a certain immortal go, this thing is young! What are the benefits of being young? That is, there is a lot of room for growth, and there will be opportunities for comebacks in the future.

So this time, even if you carry the black cauldron, you will not have a chance to turn over. In short, this hot potato can't be handed over to Sverdlov himself, right? That's a succession candidate, and it can't just be compromised.

What's more, Lenin still had more trust in the ability of a certain immortal, and what this product was best at was turning the impossible into possible, when the October Revolution in Moscow was at its most critical. Isn't this the scene of salvation? Maybe this product can surprise him again!

So Li Xiaofeng, who was unlucky enough to get home, had to take over this unlucky task. This speaks volumes. It's not easy to be a firefighter, as long as you are a firefighter, and then there is such an unlucky opportunity, the first thing the leader thinks of is you. Therefore, brothers who want to live a safe and uneventful life must remember, don't be in the limelight, otherwise the consequences will be unpredictable!

Of course, then again. It's not without benefit to carry this black cauldron, no matter whether things work out or not, the mentor will definitely compensate for it in the future, and won't let his own people suffer in vain.

However, Li Xiaofeng really does not rarely appreciate the compensation of the tutor, these two months are very important to him, for the sake of that pitiful compensation in the future, it is not cost-effective to compensate for this precious time. Therefore, he was determined to fulfill the instructions of his mentor and do things beautifully. The reason why I'm acting so irritable now. It's just that I don't know how to do it......

"It's like not saying it," Erikson snorted dismissively. "After talking for a long time, it's not that you can't help it, you can still only carry the black pot after the worst!"

"Can I be blamed for this?" Li Xiaofeng was also annoyed, "I went to Sweden to find out the hole cards of the Germans." It's not the wrong medicine! ”

Eriksen replied angrily: "Then you go to Germany to find out!" ”

"If you go to Germany, you can find out? I don't know a single German, how can I get to the bottom? Li Xiaofeng became more and more annoyed, he had nothing to do with Germany, and he didn't know where to start when he probed the Germans' negotiating cards.

"Then you'll just make it up!" Erikson gloated and sarcastically, "Then you have to make it up like that, or you won't be able to eat and walk away......"

In fact, this really can't blame Erikson for gloating, and if you want to blame it, you can only blame a certain immortal for always acting too powerful, it seems that no problem can be difficult for him, and any problem can be solved. It was easy for Erikson to catch a problem that could embarrass someone, which made him suddenly feel that someone was just a mortal, not particularly evil.

So after ridiculing and laughing, he was also busy helping someone come up with ideas and find a way, after all, his interests are now tied to someone, and everyone is a grasshopper on a rope, one is prosperous and one is lost.

"Otherwise, Henry's network is relatively large, and he has close ties with Germany, so he can help him think of a way...... It's really not good, I also have a few German brothers, the relationship is not bad, indirectly help you find out......"

This idea is the same as not coming out, anyway, at least Li Xiaofeng doesn't have much hope for it, Henry's goods are not reliable at all, and Erickson's fox friends are not very useful. Everyone knows that the bottom line of the negotiation is definitely not an ordinary secret, who dares to leak it easily?

However, if you don't have hope, you don't have hope, you should find someone to help, Li Xiaofeng will still find it, if you have dates or not, what if you are lucky?

But the luck of a certain immortal is not good from the previous life, otherwise he would not be so miserable, and after the crossing, his luck is not very good, so just mentioned this matter to Henry, the other party poured a basin of cold water on him:

"You think too highly of me, where can I inquire about this kind of news? No matter how good the Germans are with me, they can't tell me! Take a step back, can they really tell me how much moisture is in this news, and do they need me to tell you? ”

Li Xiaofeng also knows this reason, those who mix in the political arena, especially in the diplomatic department and the intelligence community, are all elites. Those are all masters who tell nonsense with their eyes open, and deceive the dead and do not pay for their lives. If you are a little careless in dealing with them, you run the risk of being fooled. When these guys say something out of their mouths, they have to remove 90% of the water first, and then slowly ponder whether it's true or false.

"It's okay to knock on the side!" Li Xiaofeng was really helpless, so he could only find a way to give Henry a little encouragement, "If you can get real information in this regard, we Bolsheviks will definitely regard you as a good friend!" ”

"I want this friendship." Henry smiled bitterly, "The problem is, I really don't have this ability!" It's okay for me to do something else for you, such as importing food or something, it's a piece of cake, but I really can't help it! ”

Bullshit can't help! Li Xiaofeng's heart is like a mirror, nine or ten percent of the true news Henry may not be able to find out, but three or five percent of the true news. He could definitely hear it. Don't think it's time to negotiate. Both sides of the negotiation will cover their hole cards to the death. Without revealing any words, there is no such negotiation.

The real approach is to hide half and expose half and half hide the clouds and mountains and fog, not only to confuse the other side, but also to promote the outcome of the negotiations. After all, negotiation is a process in which both sides continue to test and then reach a compromise.

Of course, how to disclose your requirements to the other party. That's also skillful, there is definitely no direct saying, the right thing to do is to take a detour from the side and release the message through various third-party channels. And now, Li Xiaofeng can be sure that Sweden must belong to one of the third parties.

Why? Listen to what Henry has just said, this guy denies that he has the ability to spy on German intelligence on the one hand, and on the other hand, he suddenly talks about the food problem. To know about the food issue, Li Xiaofeng, Erickson, and Victoria have already made a decision, which is to guard against Henry. So he hasn't been contacted directly.

And now, this guy is talking clearly. Dare to pack tickets, do you dare to say that he really has no channels for intelligence? Even Russia, which is not very close to him, can get such confidential information, and Germany, which is close to him, can he not hear the slightest rumor?

Therefore, the truth is that this product is indirectly bidding, and it is preparing for the lion to open his mouth. If you want to know something from his mouth, I'm afraid it will be a lot of money.

Because of this, Li Xiaofeng immediately raised his vigilance, Henry's appetite is too big, if he really wants to make this thing ruthlessly slaughtered for the sake of intelligence, it is not cost-effective. Instead of kneeling and begging, find a way to make people beg you. So he simply didn't take Henry's words and didn't talk about intelligence, right? Then let's not talk about it.

In the following conversation, Li Xiaofeng really kept silent about the information, as if he had completely forgotten his mission, and gradually, Henry was a little unsure, and he wanted to bring the conversation back intentionally or unintentionally.

“…… I heard that the food problem in Petrograd is already very serious, and now Britain, the United States, France and Germany are blockading you again, this deal can be done! I have a relationship in this area, and I can dredge up the relevant countries to turn a blind eye, even if it is Germany that is in a state of hostility with you, I can also get through the relationship! ”

Look at your shameless appearance, Li Xiaofeng despised this thing fiercely in his heart, it was you who said that it had nothing to do with Germany just now, and now you are not ashamed to say that it has something to do with it, you can be more fucking shameless No, if you want to take benefits, just say it!

However, although he despised Henry in his heart, Li Xiaofeng couldn't help but accept this talk, whether it was intelligence or food, it was indeed worth asking, the other party offered a price all over the sky, and he could also repay the money on the ground!

"Oh? Do you have a way to break the blockade against Russia and export grain to Russia? ”

Henry smiled and said confidently: "I can't break the blockade, but I can still do it if I find a way to export a little food to you and solve your urgent needs." ”

"Then I have to thank you on behalf of the Russian people!" Li Xiaofeng couldn't help but tell lies.

"Thank you or something, you don't have to!" Henry hypocritically said, "I also came out of humanitarianism to help. As a peace-loving person, I am willing to do what I can to promote peace as soon as possible! ”

Henry's words are actually asking for the price, which means that you Russia don't want to win peace by negotiating an end to the war? I'm willing to contribute, but I can't do it for nothing, right? How much you want, you also have to mean it!

"The Russian people will not forget your contributions!"

This kind of empty check Li Xiaofeng can also open his mouth, isn't it just vernacular? Who wouldn't! You haven't revealed any valuable news, so you want to ask about the benefits, when Lao Tzu is two hundred and five!

Henry suddenly laughed dryly, Li Xiaofeng had already made it clear that he would not scatter the eagle if he didn't see the rabbit, and he couldn't continue to hide it, so he said in a foggy voice: "I have some friends who are also enthusiastic about the cause of peace have been paying attention to the progress of your peace talks with Germany, and some relevant materials and news have also been collected ......."

"What about the situation?" Li Xiaofeng still didn't let go, and stopped talking about the "meaning".

Henry laughed again and said slowly, "But you also have to know that the news in this regard is very sensitive. Collecting these messages is a big risk, and these friends of mine are facing some practical difficulties......"

Li Xiaofeng asked without hesitation: "What are the difficulties?" ”

"There are difficulties in all aspects!" Henry's smile became even more thief, "Some people have financial difficulties, and some people want to communicate with each other. ”

Li Xiaofeng glanced at Henry, he really couldn't trust this guy, for his so-called friends, he was very suspicious that they were false, or they were just using the guise of spying on Russia's bottom line. Don't be surprised, the Germans are probably like them, trying to figure out what Russia's bottom line is, in order to reap more benefits.

More likely, it was Henry who was using the guise of the Germans to gain his own advantage. There are a lot of such goods nowadays, and many people just use some gossip to fool around. So he had to take precautions, lest he let this product take advantage of it in vain, and the news he got was worthless.

"I personally can understand these requirements," Li Xiaofeng said slowly, "However, I personally can't make a decision, I will feed back the relevant situation back to China, and if China agrees, we will discuss it in further detail!" (To be continued......)
