On the surface, Harson's warning to Li Xiaofeng was not false, but in fact he was very worried about it, so after someone left, he immediately raised his vigilance, and forcibly summoned all the personnel of the consulate back, and strictly ordered them not to act rashly.

But does it work? It doesn't mean much, especially when warnings and orders such as these have been issued so many times that almost no one takes the words of this one to heart.

The big guy should eat, drink, and go out to have fun like chic, and the consul general was so angry that the three corpses jumped. But it was useless for him to jump any longer, because two or three days had passed, and nothing had happened. This made everyone even more contemptuous of Harson.

Basically, most of the embassy staff felt that their boss was a coward and took the polar bear's mouth cannon seriously. Think about it! The sun never sets on the empire, who dares to provoke? A half-dead polar bear wants to scare them with its teeth and claws, but there is no door!

Based on this idea, the staff of the British Consulate did not take Li Xiaofeng's threat more and more seriously, and even mocked and ridiculed a certain immortal behind his back, and almost made up a tune to humiliate someone.

But on the fourth day, when they were ready to go out and have fun as usual, tragedy struck. At eight o'clock in the morning, Harson received the first bad news, the chef who went out to buy ingredients was robbed, not only was the money gone, but he was also beaten half to death.

"I protest!" Harson didn't even think about these three words, but the person on the other end of the phone didn't take him at all, and said very formulaically: "We regret what happened to Mr. Chef...... Mr. Harson. Please go to the Red Cross Hospital immediately and pay the admission fee......"

"What about the murderer!" Harson shouted at the top of his voice.

"We'll find out slowly!"

Harson slapped the table and said, "I don't want to listen to any nonsense like slow detection." Our civil servants have suffered personal injuries. Your country must give a reasonable explanation! ”

The person on the other end of the phone choked him back with a word: "Have you applied for protection?" ”

"It's nothing to protect!" Harson shouted angrily, but the other party didn't eat him at all: "Then I can only say I'm sorry, we have repeatedly warned you that the situation in Moscow is quite unstable, without our protection, you had better not leave the embassy or consulate, if something happens, all the responsibility belongs to you!" ”

Harson still wants to continue the. But the other party didn't give him this opportunity at all, and hung up the phone with a click, so angry that Harson dropped the phone on the spot. But smashing the phone won't solve anything, obviously the chef being beaten is just the beginning, and maybe even a small warning!

Thinking of this, Harson felt that his brain hurt, it was not just a chef who was out of the house, but a large number of staff members who did not know whether they were alive or dead were outside, not to mention that all of them had accidents, and there were two or three more similar accidents. It's enough for him.

"No! Can't wait so passively! Harson told himself that he couldn't wait to die, and that he had to regain the initiative. What to do? Call the ambassador again and ask him to put pressure on the Bolsheviks? It doesn't seem to be of much use either.

Just as Harson was digging out his thoughts, the phone on the table rang again, "I'm Harson, what!" On what basis you are arresting the citizens of our country, I express my strongest indignation! ”

This time he was not robbed or beaten, he simply entered the number, accused of picking quarrels and provoking trouble, and dared to love that several of his staff members drank too much last night, and as a result, they quarreled with another group of people in the bar, and they were beaten by a group of people at the end.

Of course, being beaten by a group is not the most unlucky, what is even more unfortunate is that all of them who were beaten squatted in the number room, but the beating was at large. When Harson hurried to the scene and saw several subordinates who were even more pig-headed than Pig-headed, he was surprisingly angry!

"I strongly protest what you are doing! Why are we arresting our citizens, why are we not treating their injuries, and where is the murderer?! ”

The leading leader of the workers' picket gave the consul general who felt too good about himself with disdain, and said contemptuously: "What nonsense? It was your people who picked quarrels and provoked trouble, and everyone in the bar at that time could prove that it was your people who provoked first, and it was also your people who did it first...... Also, this matter is not over, your people still obstruct official business and attack the police, and our judicial organs have decided to prosecute them! ”

Harson roared: "They are diplomats, protected by the Vienna Convention!" ”

The captain pouted contemptuously, "I know, but we've already asked, and none of them have full diplomatic immunity, which means they must be held accountable for their actions!" ”

Harson's angry teeth itched, this is really his weakness, the group of people who had the accident (including the chef) are just some low-level staff members, and they do not enjoy complete diplomatic immunity, if the Russians are determined to find trouble, he has no way at all.

"Then what do you mean by calling me!" Harson asked through gritted teeth.

"I'll inform you!" The captain said solemnly, "You British citizens have broken the law on Russian soil, so you must be condemned!" ”

Harson said hatefully, "Then I ask for bail!" ”

The captain sneered: "I'm sorry, the Special People's Court has already instructed this, and these prisoners will not be released on bail!" ”

"You guys!"

Harson was almost vomiting blood, and the reason why he chose bail meant that he would get people out first, and as long as he returned to the Consulate General, he would not need the laws of Bird Russia. Anyway, the Russians could not storm the consulate general and arrest people.

Unexpectedly, people had already guarded against his move, and they didn't allow bail at all, which was to make it clear that they wanted to pass the hall and repair those pigs' heads well.

"I protest!" Harson could only continue to repeat the same old tune, "I want to go to your person in charge to complain to you, you are persecuting British citizens and causing diplomatic disputes." You're going to pay for it! ”

But for his protests. No one takes it seriously. You protest and go! At that time, Harson walked out of the police station in a rage, and he was going to go to the city Soviet or directly to the Bolshevik city party committee, believing that the matter could only be properly resolved by communicating directly with the Bolshevik leaders.

But to his surprise, the car parked outside waiting for him was missing, and he remembered very well that he had already explained to the driver before getting out of the car. Waiting for him right here. But now, what about people?

Harson looked back and forth, left and right, but he couldn't find his car, this damn driver, where did his grandmother's death go!

Harson would never have imagined that he got out of the car in front of him, and Mark Vey sent someone to hijack his car, knocked the driver unconscious, and drove the car on the way out of the city.

"I would like to express my strongest protest against the various unexpected incidents that have happened to our diplomats in recent times. It's just too much. In the blink of an eye my car is gone, can you give me a reasonable explanation! Harson had no choice but to find the workers' pickets to continue the protest.

"How can a car be said to be gone? Maybe someone is in a hurry to leave! ”

"How is that possible!" Harson is going crazy.

"How impossible! Maybe your driver is in a hurry! Take a step back. Whether it's a car or a person, if you want to report a missing, you have to wait 48 hours. It's only been a few dozen minutes now, so you'd better report it in two days! ”

Anyway, Harson touched the ash of his nose, gritted his teeth and stomped his feet and left, but he definitely didn't notice it, looking at his back, the leader of the workers' pickets smiled very lewdly and coquettishly.

For what? Because the bitterness that Harson is tasting now is just an appetizer, Li Xiaofeng wants to kill the majesty of this thing, how can he give up if he doesn't get his chicken feathers and duck blood?

So then, Mr. Harson's journey was not smooth at all, first when he was crowded with the tram, he was taken away by the thief, and he was chased off the bus by the conductor, and then when he drove on the 11th road to the city Soviet, he encountered robbers, robbed of his coat, hat, watch and other valuables, and was frightened.

Finally, when he arrived at the City Soviet, the consul general, who had been a personable gentleman when he went out, was no better than a beggar.

"I am the British Consul General, and I ask to see your President!" Trembling from the cold, Harson angrily protested to the doorman, but the old man who guarded the door didn't believe in this thing at all, and he had never seen a consul general like a beggar, and he refused to let him go or pass it on.

"I express my strong indignation and protest!"

In the end, Harson met with the chairman of the Moscow City Soviet, that is, Muralov, although this benevolent brother did not control the Moscow Party Committee as he wished, but the chairman of the city Soviet also satisfied him.

In fact, he knew early in the morning that Harson was coming, and someone had already informed him in advance, and he also made a special explanation that he must treat this consul general who likes to protest well. However, when Muralov saw Harson's embarrassment, he was still taken aback, and expressed his great admiration for the method of a certain immortal to toss people.

"What are you going to protest against? Why don't I understand? Muralov asked knowingly.

Harson twitched his nose and tried to keep the snot from coming out, which was too rude for a gentleman like him, and he said with a gagged voice, "I protest against your ......."

It had only been a start, and Harson couldn't go on, he really couldn't think of what to protest about? Protesting what happened to you? People will directly say that he asked for it, who told you not to apply for protection, I have already told you that Moscow is not peaceful, who can blame you for being robbed?

Of course, this is not the most important reason why Harson can't continue, the fundamental reason why he can't go on is that he has an itchy nose and is about to sneeze.

Yawn! Yawn! Ache!

Harson sneezed three times in a row, so comfortable and splendid! Anyway, the snot bubble is mushy, not to mention how disgusting.

Even Muralov on the other side couldn't look at it, so he could only signal the secretary to get a roll of paper for the goods, and it was easy to wait for Harson to finish his personal cleaning work before he said: "I sympathize and regret your personal plight, but I must also remind you that what happened to you and other consular staff was completely avoidable." If you can apply for protection in time. Where can so many unpleasant things happen? So. I think you have to learn the lesson. It's not too late to make amends! ”

Harson was reprimanded in a daze, and then he was fooled away by Muralov, and when he returned to the consulate in the carriage provided by the Soviets, he reacted - Nima, have I been fooled!

However, at this time, Harson couldn't manage so much, and after tossing and turning this day, he even collapsed on the hospital bed in fright. But it's not a good thing to fall ill. At least he won't have to be harassed by the unfortunate news that followed.

The British Consulate General in Moscow suffered a heavy blow on this day, 50% of the staff disappeared from the ground, and the other 50% either stayed in the Bolshevik prison or in the hospital, leaving only a few three-legged cats to continue to bounce.

Needless to say, the matter became a big one, and the British protested strongly and unsurprisingly, but their protest was met with resistance and ridicule from the Russians, who warned you a long time ago, Russia is not peaceful, don't run blindly. Is there such a thing about applying for protection earlier?

Anyway, this matter is justified by the public, and the mother says that the mother is reasonable. The British suffered a loss and felt aggrieved, while the Russians were not convinced! Whoever lets you be yin in the back, the yin person must be ready to be yin.

However, this matter has to be solved anyway, but who is going to clean up this mess? It should be said that no one wants to take over, and the people of the People's Commissariat for Foreign Affairs are not stupid, and it is someone who is doing something, how can they go to the cooperation. The last time someone prevented Trotsky from stepping down, what if he slapped him in the face again this time? Moreover, even if the People's Commissariat for Foreign Affairs had the ability to properly resolve the matter, they would not be willing to do it, why? They don't want to wipe someone's ass!

Therefore, this matter has been dragged on, and the two sides have been kicking the ball, but who would have thought that the mentor would directly give an order and appoint Chichelin to solve this problem. To be honest, there were a lot of people who were gloating and ready to watch a good show at that time.

Even Tsichelin himself found it tricky, although this mission was only a cover, but if he could not solve this problem well, it would greatly affect his prestige in the People's Commissariat for Foreign Affairs.

"Comrade Andrey, can you let those British go!" After seeing a certain immortal, Qi Qilin directly mentioned it straight to the point, "It's not appropriate to get too stiff with the British for the time being, the impact is very bad!" ”

How could Li Xiaofeng agree, in his opinion, this was the British provoking trouble first, he was fighting back in self-defense, why let him go!

"Why can't I understand you?" The creature deliberately frowned and said, "What does the disappearance of the British have to do with us?" I have to say that this is a slander and slander against us, and it must be strongly resisted! ”

Qi Qilin smiled bitterly in his heart, fools all know that this thing was done by your kid, you have threatened the consul general twice, and then something really happened, you dare to say that it is not related!

"Comrade Qi Qilin," Li Xiaofeng was a little dissatisfied, "look at what you said, go and warn the British, that is responsible for their safety, it is completely well-intentioned, how can it be said to be a threat?" I would never agree with that! It turns out that it was they who took our kind reminders as a deaf ear that led to the occurrence of the cups! The root cause is their own paralysis and carelessness! ”

The corners of Chiclin's mouth twitched twice, and he was extremely impressed by someone's ability to tell nonsense with his eyes open. You kid can be a little more nonsense, no, in the current Russia, you are the one who dares to find awkwardness with the British.

"But we are always responsible for these cases, aren't we?" Zicherin could only try to convince someone from a different angle, "It's not a good thing that so many kidnapping cases are hanging on the case file, right?" We're going to get the murderer! ”

"Where's the murderer?" Li Xiaofeng snorted contemptuously, "Comrade Qi Qilin, how can you be sure that these cases must be kidnappings?" Why can't it be missing? I must remind you that there is no evidence that they were kidnapped right now. Even I suspect that these people are hiding and are secretly engaged in anti-Soviet espionage! ”

Zichlin opened his mouth, but he found that he had no words at all, and the meaning of someone was very clear, that is, to fight the British to the end. So how else is he going to deal with the mud?

After a moment of silence, Chichelin sighed: "Comrade Andrei, don't make it difficult for me!" The impact of this incident is too bad! ”

Li Xiaofeng just smiled, "Comrade Qi Qilin, they are all class comrades, how can I embarrass you?" In fact, I and the British are also working better for you! ”

Zicherin was a little confused and asked, "What do you say?" ”

Li Xiaofeng spread his hands and said: "This is not simple, the reason why you can come to Moscow is because I am looking for trouble with the British." If soon, this trouble is solved, then what reason do you have to stay? ”

Zicherin's eyes lit up, as if someone had a point! He came under the pretext of dealing with diplomatic disputes, and without them, he remained in Moscow, isn't that suspicious? Thinking of this, he couldn't help but glance at someone - those who can be favored by the mentor this year are indeed human spirits!

If Li Xiaofeng knew what Qi Qilin was thinking now, it is estimated that this thing would laugh a lot, yes, Qi Qilin came under the pretext of mediating disputes, but this does not mean that creating disputes is approved by the tutor, it can only be said that it is just the right time. To put it bluntly, someone is using this excuse to take revenge! (To be continued......)
