222 Petrovsky's Observations (II)

Petrovsky looked up the window, the empty playground was covered with a layer and a half of snow, and a group of Chinese workers on night patrol creaked slowly through the snow, and soon disappeared into the depths of the forest. He flicked the oil lamp to make the flame bigger, and a spontaneous sense of happiness made his heart surge, and he buried his head in the diary and began to write.

Although he had only been here for five days, Petrovsky had already fallen in love with the humble base and the simple Chinese workers here. When he first arrived at the base, he and his comrades were taken aback by the black oppression of the eastern side. Who would have thought that among the mountains and forests forty or fifty kilometers away from Petrograd, such a huge force was hidden.

At that time, he was a little worried, although from the perspective of internationalism, the poor people in the world are a family, and they are all class brothers of Kuha, and it is natural to love each other. But he still felt a little uncomfortable, when will the revolution in Russia still rely on the help of outsiders, and besides, even if the party wants to arm a hidden revolutionary force, it can completely select people from the country!

Yes, Petrovsky was a little jealous of the treatment of the 3,000 Chinese laborers in the camp, like a child who had been robbed of a toy, and he was very unhappy with it. But this ridiculous thought comes and goes quickly.

First of all, Dzerzhinsky explained the origin of the 3,000 Chinese workers, and when Petrovsky heard about the tragic plight of the Chinese workers, he was sympathetic and even ashamed, thinking that it was the cold-blooded capitalists in Russia who careless about human life that caused the suffering of the Chinese workers. As a conscientious Russian, not only do not sympathize with their tragic experience. On the contrary, he still resented himself, which was really not the ideological quality that a good Bolshevik should have.

Especially after the Chinese workers heard about their intentions, they generously vacated their warm dormitories to squeeze into cold tents. The revolutionary friendship of the proletariat was brought into full play. At that moment, Petrovsky was deeply moved, and secretly made up his mind that the greatest ideal in this life and this life is to fight for the establishment of communism!

After a short run-in period, Petrovsky and his comrades quickly became one with the Chinese workers from China, although the two sides did not understand the language, but a smile and a gesture could break this barrier. The two sides don't talk about blending together. At least not each other.

On the training ground, the Chinese Brotherhood, which had already passed the initial training stage, did not hesitate to impart its experience and quickly helped Petrovsky improve his combat skills and get off the training ground. The two sides talked and laughed, played football, played basketball, and played each other.

Petrovsky loved this life so much, simple, happy, fulfilling, and most importantly. There is really no food to say every day. Originally, he thought that the food list issued by Li Xiaofeng was just a bait, but in reality, who dared to eat like this, it would be lucky not to starve in Russia, and there would be meat to eat. You can also have a drink every once in a while, and you can supply a pack of cigarettes a week. Even if you don't smoke or drink, you can exchange the quota for candy, tea or something.

As a half-grown child. Petrovsky often saw only a few sweets at Christmas. And in the base, with the distributed tobacco and alcohol supply coupons, you can exchange a large package at a time, not only more, but also more delicious than those sold on the market, there are milk candy, fruit candy, coffee candy, to be honest, Petrovsky never knew that there are so many kinds of candy, he tasted one for each flavor, it was really delicious!

He made up his mind at the first time, he couldn't just eat non-stop because he was hungry, and he wanted to bring some to the comrades in the company so that everyone could taste it. Well, it's not enough to just bring candy, you also have to bring some cigarettes, comrades haven't smoked cigarettes with filters, let everyone try them. By the way, you also have to bring a few bottles of liquor, the company commander is an alcoholic, he must like this kind of Chinese liquor called Erguotou. …,

Petrovsky was thinking about what to bring to the comrades in the company, and when he thought of the smiles on the faces of his comrades after tasting these delicacies, his heart was full of joy. In fact, there are many people who have the same intentions as him, and almost every comrade in Tekko is ready to bring a lot of good things to comrades or relatives in his hometown. In the era of material shortage, these are all treasures!

However, in addition to rejoicing, Petrovsky was more puzzled, with such sufficient supplies and such sophisticated equipment, is this still the bitter Bolshevik Party? He could not have believed that the party had such rich financial resources. Could it be that the gossip circulating on the streets is true, that Comrade Lenin really came to an agreement with the German devils? Otherwise, where did these things come from?

Many comrades had the same concerns, and even caused quite a stir, but Comrade Erzhinsky was quick to explain it himself. All these treatments that dare to love them are not provided by the party, but the Andrei who makes him distrust. Petrovich's private money!

When he learned the news, Petrovsky was shocked, he didn't expect that the impetuous boy who made him unpleasant to look at him was so rich, and he didn't expect that he would be willing to scoop up such a large sum of money, save 3,000 Chinese working-class brothers, not to mention, and help the party train armed forces.

What kind of courage is this? Even Petrovsky admired someone a little, of course, admiration is admiration, his opinion on someone is still not small. At least he thinks that as the deputy head of the special department and the actual person in charge, someone should be more responsible, not to mention doing his best and dying, at least he should come to see their training, and he shouldn't even take a look at it and ignore it completely!

The comrades had a very good opinion on this, and felt that they had been despised by it, especially when there was a turmoil last time, when such a big and serious matter did not alarm the deputy section chief, but instead Dzerzhinsky ran out of his busy schedule. Comrades are very puzzled to figure out what could be more important than the party's reputation, and is it true that the deputy section chief does not care about this at all?

In this regard, Petrovsky personally consulted Sergei Dzerzhinsky, who was sent to temporarily preside over the work. Vasilyevich. Comrade Puzytsky. Sergei. Comrade Vasilyevich was also a new comrade who had just joined the party, but Petrovsky trusted the new comrade. At least I think he's much more reliable than someone.

And it's not just Sergey for the reason. Comrade Vasilyevich is five years older than someone and looks old. What's more, this comrade also came out of the army. Sergey in 1912. After graduating from high school, Comrade Vasilyevich was admitted to Moscow University, where he studied law, and after the outbreak of the Great War. He enlisted in the army, entered the Aleksandrov Military Academy, and after graduation became a warrant officer.

Although Sergey . Vasilyevich became an officer, but he did not have the habits of other officers in the army, on the contrary, he sympathized with ordinary workers and was inclined to the revolution, and after the outbreak of the February revolution, the soldiers and brothers elected them as members of the soldiers' council, and actively supported the authority and work of the Soviets. Unanimously loved by the soldiers' brothers. Later, after being introduced to the party, on the occasion of the convening of the National Congress of Party members, he became a representative of the party members of the Moscow Military District and came to Petrograd.

Petrovsky listened to the comrades that Sergei . Comrade Vasilyevich was trusted by Dzerzhinsky. At a time when the personnel of the special section were nervous and a certain deputy section chief did not care about anything, he was temporarily entrusted with an important task and let him be someone's deputy to temporarily preside over the training of the special section.

Petrovsky would have liked that Sergei . Comrade Vasilyevich was able to replace the deputy section chief who could not see the head of the dragon. At least Sergey . Comrade Vasilyevich is more responsible, and he is an expert in military training, and there is no need for a layman's deputy section chief with an insider like him. …,

But when he was in front of Sergei who was temporarily presiding over the work. When Comrade Vasilyevich reacted to this opinion, Vasilyevich directly rejected his opinion. And think that an irresponsible deputy section chief is not deliberately detached from the masses, let alone irresponsible. It was really he who was held back by more important tasks.

Petrovsky was very unceremoniously pointed out at the time that this was nothing more than Sergei. Vasilyevich is just covering up someone's ugliness. He strongly demanded that Vasilyevich give feedback to Comrade Dzerzhinsky his opinion, believing that someone should be removed from his post and a more responsible person should be put in charge of the job, even if someone is a rich man, and the party should not be tied to money! He believed that the comrades in the camp, including the 3,000 Chinese workers, would not be knocked down by the difficulties of the moment.

Yes, Petrovsky was very dissatisfied with the performance of a certain immortal, as a Bolshevik he was very dissatisfied with someone's work attitude, and he could not open the net just because someone was rich! But to his surprise, before his words fell, he was attacked by Sergei. Strong criticism from Vasilyevich.

"Leonardo. Comrade Gligorievich, I must seriously criticize you! You are right for Andrey. Comrade Petrovich's views are extremely one-sided and irresponsible. As far as I know, Andrey. Comrade Petrovich is by no means an irresponsible person! "Sergey. Vasilyevich said very seriously.

"The Andrei I know. Petrovich is passionate about the party and the revolution, and full of responsibility! It was he who presented Felix. Comrade Edmondovich suggested that I come here to preside over the work on his behalf, and he really wanted to come here to exchange and learn from his comrades, but he really couldn't leave in Petrograd, and the party gave him a very serious political task! Before coming, he repeatedly told me that he hoped that I could apologize to the comrades on his behalf, and repeatedly told me that although he could not come, if the comrades had any difficulties or requirements, please inform him as soon as possible, and he would do everything possible to solve the problems for the comrades! ”

Petrovsky was dumbfounded, he didn't expect Sergei. Vasilyevich was recommended by someone, and he didn't expect someone to have such a warm side, which is too far from the reckless Andrei in his memory, if he didn't trust Vasilyevich's character, he would probably have accused the other party of lying.

As if to see the doubts in Petrovsky's mind, Vasilyevich continued: "I know that Comrade Andrei is too young and has not appeared for a long time, and some of them have some opinions, but I would like to say that this is a critical period of the revolution, the National Congress is about to be held, and the whole party is very nervous. Not only Comrade Andrei, but also Comrade Felix, which one is not used by one person against several people. We have to understand them, it is not them who put on a show, it is really inseparable from the revolutionary work! I hope you can explain this more to comrades who think the same way as you. ”

Petrovsky was still not convinced: "But I think you are also very capable, at least no worse than Comrade Andrei." The party should also send you more work! ”

Vasilyevich was not angry at all, and said with a smile: "How do you know that the Daoist Party did not give me more burdens? How do you know that I am no worse than Comrade Andrei's ability to work? Don't take it for granted, there are many things you don't understand! ”

&nbs

p; "That's what I think, anyway!" Petrovsky said with a hard mouth.

Sergei. Vasilyevich suddenly became serious and said solemnly: "For Comrade Andrei's ability to work. I don't think it's comparable, if nothing else, it's this base, do you know how much it costs to get him running? ”…,

Petrovsky said disdainfully: "Isn't it just that the family has money!" What's the big deal! We poor people are just as capable of revolution! ”

"It's not just about money!" Vasilyevich became more and more serious, "Comrade Andrei's family is not a big capitalist, his father is only a medium businessman in our country, and Comrade Andrei fell out with his father very early. After participating in the revolution. There is no financial support to get from the family at all! ”

"Is this true?" Petrovsky's eyes widened.

"Of course it's true!" Vasilyevich nodded solemnly, "Comrade Felix is responsible for reviewing the family composition of party members, and all this is the conclusion he came to after a rigorous investigation...... Other words. Our current food, clothing, housing, transportation, and all material conditions were created by Comrade Andrei. Let's be honest. On the first day I came to the base, after seeing the food and clothing of the comrades, I proposed to Comrade Andrei that the salary could be reduced. As long as you can dress warmly and eat well, it is enough! But guess what Comrade Andrei answered me? ”

Petrovsky was deeply attracted and immediately asked: "What did he say?" ”

Vasilyevich said affectionately: "He said that the comrades trained a lot. The task on his shoulders is also quite heavy, and he can't be short of two pounds in food and clothing. Be sure to let the comrades eat well and eat well! Only then will there be combat effectiveness! Even if he is a little nervous there, it doesn't matter, everything is for the revolution! ”

Petrovsky was deeply moved, tears welled up, deeply reflected on his own shallowness, and felt guilty for misunderstanding the great Comrade Andrei. In fact, he doesn't have to blame himself, a certain immortal is not so great, the reason why he said this is that one is to elevate himself, and the other is also just done a big vote, there is really no shortage of that bit of food, there is no need to be harsh on it.

Of course, none of this is clear to Petrovsky or Vasilyevich, or Dzerzhinsky and Lenin, who subconsciously think that someone is really a high-spirited person, suffering a happy whole mankind, and thinking that someone is tightening his belt and making contributions to the party committee revolution.

That night, Petrovsky, full of self-reproach, deeply reflected on his mistakes in his diary, saying that in the future, a certain immortal would be the target of his study and pursuit, and vowed to be like Andrei. Petrovich was as selfless and a great revolutionary fighter.

Well, while the little kid was putting an end to the last sentence, Mannerheim, who was checking the night, angrily threw him back to his bed, and told him viciously that if he didn't go to bed quickly, let him start his morning exercise early - those who have too much energy should practice more!

In normal times, Petrovsky did not like Mannerheim, thinking that this tsar's dogleg was not a good bird, and that treating them bitter soldiers was too bad and ruthless, and that he was a typical old soldier, belonging to the type of counter-revolution that should be beaten. To make such a counter-revolutionary an instructor of revolutionary fighters is a betrayal of the people to the revolution.

At that time, he was very angry and reported to Dzerzhinsky about it, and strongly accused this criminal act, which was also one of the main triggers of the turmoil. But now, passing Sergey . Vasilyevich worked patiently and meticulously, and he reversed this perception.

Yes, Mannerheim is an old officer, or a particularly senior kind of old officer, but there is nothing wrong with him, and what makes people feel dissatisfied is that he is too harsh, and there is no sloppiness in military training.

Although a stern commander means that life is difficult for a soldier, it must also be affirmed that high standards and strict requirements are essential qualities for revolutionaries. And a responsible officer is better than a foreign worker, right? If Mannerheim were to be replaced by those instructors in the company, not to mention their level of half a bucket of water, with their lax attitude, they would not be able to train real soldiers.

After thinking this out, Petrovsky's resentment towards Mannerheim instantly dissipated, and he deeply admired someone who at first thought was extremely irresponsible. What kind of level is it to make an old officer wholeheartedly train future revolutionary soldiers? Can people who don't have the ability do it?

Petrovsky felt that someone was simply a magician, turning the impossible into a possibility, for such a good comrade who was affectionate and righteous, and wholeheartedly for the revolution and the party, he not only did not understand before, but also made a small report, lying under the quilt, he deeply regretted it, and felt that the person who was really shallow was himself......
