Li Xiaofeng came in a hurry, and left in a hurry, someone's busy figure seems to outsiders like Bulganin to be relatively tall, I am afraid that there will be a kind of Comrade Andrei is really a good colleague who is dedicated to the party and always remembers the safety of Comrade Lenin of the Party Central Committee, and it is indeed worth learning and studying!

In fact, what someone is doing is not necessarily out of public interest, nor is it entirely out of concern for the safety of Lenin and the Party Central Committee. Because Lenin's safety was not really a big problem, did Luo Jiangke and his ilk dare to risk provoking the Soviets to attack Lenin? It can't be completely said that Luo Fatzi doesn't have the courage, but he must have some scruples.

That's right! It is true that the Lemonsheviks and the Socialist-Revolutionaries did not like the Bolsheviks, and even less Lenin, but they did not like it, and they probably would not fully approve of this method by using forceful means to get rid of Lenin.

For example, after the July Incident in history, when Lenin was wanted by the whole country, the views of the Central Executive Committee of the Soviet Union on the question of how to deal with Lenin and the Bolsheviks were completely different, and the radical rightists, such as the Menshevik Tseretelli and some of the extreme rightists of the Socialist-Revolutionary Party, believed that what Lenin and the Bolsheviks had done was completely perverse, and that when Lenin was arrested, he should live or die, and it was better to kill Lenin directly.

However, the opinion of the Central Executive Committee of the Soviet Union was not the mainstream, for example, Martov, who was a fellow Menshevik with Celeteli, opposed Lenin's execution, believing that Lenin's life should be guaranteed. "Just" trial of Lenin. I think that this is the only way to convince the public.

At that time, Martov's opinion prevailed among the Central Executive Committee of the Soviets, and most of them believed that killing Lenin indiscriminately was too much, and that this approach was no different from the White Terror of the Tsarist era. For example, Trotsky, who participated in the July Incident at that time, was too slow to react, not as clever as Lenin, did not run away, and was directly arrested alive, and there were opinions at that time that he should be executed, but in the end, he was only imprisoned in Peter and Paul prison.

Visible. The Soviets and the Provisional Government were by no means completely identical on the question of how to deal with Lenin, and this was the situation after Lenin's failure to launch the July Incident, and in the present situation. If Lenin, who did not make any mistakes, was executed indiscriminately by the Provisional Government, it would definitely be an uproar, and if it was not done well, it would mean a break between the two sides, and the Provisional Government, which was already stormy, would have to go directly to class if it did not have the support of the Soviets!

Therefore, Lenin's safety should not be too much of a problem, and Luo Jiangke and his ilk should not dare to directly attack the black hand, in fact, even if Luo Fatzi wants to do the black hand, it is unlikely, because although Li Xiaofeng did not go to rescue Lenin, he will not let the tutor fall into the tiger's mouth and ignore it.

Li Xiaofeng asked Sergey. Vasilyevich, with the main forces of the reconnaissance company, paid attention to the situation in the Ksheshinskaya Palace as the first countermeasure. Of course. This countermeasure is not particularly safe, after all, Sergei could not immediately lead people into the palace of Ksheshinskaya to rescue the mentor, and if Alexander, who controlled Kselsinsskaya, really wanted to be against Lenin, it would be a matter of seconds, and it would be too late for Sergei to rush in after the incident.

Therefore, Li Xiaofeng also prepared a second countermeasure, before leaving the city of Petrograd, he deliberately went home, and asked his good apprentice Morrigan to immediately go to the Kshelsinskaya Palace to ensure the safety of Lenin and the main central leaders.

Since Lenin's life is safe, it is a double insurance. So why did Li Xiaofeng rush back to Petrograd? Mainly because this guy is very cautious and has a special grudge, the Tekko he worked so hard to pull up suffered heavy casualties this night, and almost the entire army was wiped out. Can't this feud just leave it at that, right? …,

Li Xiaofeng has never been the kind of person who endures humiliation and takes care of the overall situation after suffering losses, he pays attention to a tooth for a tooth and an eye for an eye. If someone hits me in the face, then I'm going to have to smash someone's face to pieces!

So who is Li Xiaofeng's first target to retaliate against? That, of course, was the Petrograd police, gendarmes and Cossacks. During the operation to encircle and intercept the members of the Special Branch. Their hands are stained with blood, and they must pay for it with blood!

The chubby Director Alexander did not know what to do, and he and his men had become a thorn in the side of some immortal, and at this time he was still in the Ksheshinskaya Palace, under house arrest of Lenin and the Central Committee of the Bolshevik Party.

In fact, the work was done very reluctantly, and his men did control the Kshessinskaya Palace, but it was only a building, and the little fat man seemed helpless for the rather tricky people in the building.

The top brass of the Central Committee, including Lenin and Sverdlov, simply ignored this big fat man, and in addition to not being able to leave the Kshessinskaya Palace, in addition to not being able to deliver news to the outside world, they were also fighting the enemy in their own way!

"Comrades, the current situation is very bad!" Lenin spoke very seriously to the comrades who remained in the Central Committee: "The enemy has taken control of the entire building, and our external ties have been completely cut off, but in this unfavorable situation, we must all the more cheer up and must not sit idly by!" We must adopt positive and effective means to deal with the enemy and strive to create conditions for extricating ourselves from difficulties! ”

Speaking of this, Lenin turned to Sverdlov and asked: "Comrade Yakov, how many weapons and ammunition do we have on hand?" ”

Sverdlov flipped through the notepad he carried with him, "Most of the weapons and ammunition were taken away by the comrades who broke through the encirclement, and most of the remaining weapons were seized by the police, and now there are only twelve short guns carried by the comrades in the center, with less than 100 rounds of ammunition." ”

This data is definitely not good news, now the Kshessinskaya Palace has been surrounded by regiments, and there are more than 100 policemen and gendarmes in sight, not to mention that there are Cossack cavalry patrolling the streets.

Although the news is terrible. But in the eyes of politicians. Even bad news can turn into good news.

"Good!" Lenin said happily, "Because of the enemy's negligence, we still retain a very crucial capability for self-defense, Comrade Yakov, to concentrate weapons and ammunition and distribute them to comrades who have experience in armed struggle, and we must concentrate this part of our strength on our part!" ”

Speaking of this, Lenin began to boost morale again: "Comrades, although the current situation is very bad, it does not mean that we have no hope! Comrade Andrei has already received instructions from us in advance. At this moment, he is leading a capable force to come. I believe that the comrades have already seen the powerful armed forces of Tekko, and as long as Comrade Andrei comes back, those policemen and gendarmes outside will be nothing more than chickens and dogs! They are simply vulnerable! ”

Glancing around at the audience, Lenin was pleased to see that the anxiety in the eyes of many had eased. There are also many people who can clearly see the strong fighting spirit in their eyes, which is especially important for the Party Central Committee, which has experienced bad news overnight!

"But!" Lenin suddenly changed his words and said earnestly: "It is also unscientific to pin all our hopes on Comrade Andrei, and we Bolsheviks have never lacked the ability to survive in difficult situations. We must be prepared to win the hope of survival by the means we can! Comrades, now is the time for you to unleash your initiative, and we must seek more weapons, swords, guns, clubs, and whatever is capable of striking the enemy! It is necessary to use all means to paralyze and exhaust the enemy...... As long as we do all this, I believe that we will be able to turn the crisis into a victory! ”…,

Lenin's speech had a very good effect. Almost at the moment when he finished speaking, the people who remained in the center were mobilized, men, women, and children made use of all the resources that could be used, all kinds of strange weapons were invented and manufactured, and many bold and lively people continued to make trouble with Director Alexander's men, and for a time, the entire Kšesinskaya Palace was even more lively in the vegetable market.

"What the hell are these bastards up on?" Annoyed by all kinds of harassment, Director Alexander complained to his deputy, "These damn bastards are even more annoying than crows!" As he spoke, Director Alexander put his hand on his ear.

The deputy smiled bitterly: "This is probably deliberately made by them, just to make us upset!" ”

Chief Alexander said indignantly: "Damn the rebels. Do they think this ridiculous tactic will drive us away? It is simply too naïve, and he ordered to go down, let the brothers hold on, as long as they carry it through tonight, and wait for the arrival of the army to quell the rebellion tomorrow. You're going to have to cry these bastards! “

On second thought, Director Alexander seemed to feel that this explanation was not entirely morale-boosting. immediately added the code: "You tell the brothers, you must hold on, and those who perform well will be rewarded tomorrow!" ”

Spurred on by money, Chief Alexander's scrappy subordinates were finally able to regain some of their morale, at least they were not as agitated as they had been, which was not good news for Lenin and the Bolsheviks.

"Comrade Lenin, that fat man of Alexander seems to have promised a high reward, and the morale of the enemy seems to have been restored!" Sverdlov reported to Lenin worriedly.

Lenin, however, paid no attention to the news, nodded nonchalantly, and then focused his attention on the window, which seemed to attract his attention more than the present crisis.

Sverdlov was anxious at that time, "Comrade Lenin, should we not sit idly by and wait for some more countermeasures?" ”

Lenin turned around, smiled wryly at Sverdlov, and said: "Everything we can do has been done, and the only thing we can do now is to wait." Let's hope Comrade Felix or Andrey can surprise us! ”

Sverdlov wants to speak and stop, in today's situation, it is people who fight for the sword, I am the fish and meat, relying on the strength of the central government to fight, at best, it is to fight to the end as if it were death, but at worst, it is a trapped beast fighting and dying. Of course, one thing is very clear, the situation is so critical that it is almost like walking on thin ice.

"Comrade Lenin," after a long day of deliberation, Sverdlov suggested: "Do you want to concentrate all your forces and cover the main responsible comrades of the Central Committee to fight out?" ”

Sverdlov's words were very cold-blooded, and the so-called principal responsible comrades of the Central Committee naturally referred to the level of members of the Central Committee. It can even be said that it was to cover Lenin's breakthrough. This proposal is not impossible to implement under the current circumstances. But if it is implemented, it will mean that the vast majority of those who remain in the Party Central Committee will be sacrificed.

Lenin flatly rejected this proposal, of course, not because the mentor was not hard-hearted enough, and he was not afraid to sacrifice some people in order to ensure the core interests of the party, but there was a premise that this sacrifice had to be meaningful. And now, he thinks that such sacrifice means little.

"The most important issue now is no longer the issue of my own safety or that of individual comrades of the Party Central Committee. Even if we can break through. It doesn't mean much, but it's easy to teach the truth...... Now it is Comrade Felix and Comrade Andrei who can decide the fate of our party, and as long as either of them can play a role, we can rest easy! Contrarily. Even if we can escape, we will only be lost dogs! ”…,

In fact, there is no need for Lenin to explain, and Sverdlov is also aware of this, from the moment the Party Central Committee was surrounded and placed under house arrest, they had already lost control of the overall situation, and the meaning of their existence was not particularly important. To be honest, the feeling of powerlessness is terrible, like a footballer who has just come on the pitch and is sent off with a red card, and the feeling of being involuntary is indescribable.

Sverdlov lightly withdrew from Lenin's office, at this moment. For them who are resigned to their fate, the Mentor does not need any advice, and it is better to let him stay quietly alone than anything else. However, at the moment when the door was closed, Sverdlov noticed that the Mentor had taken out a letter from someone in the drawer, and I am afraid that at this time he would have deeply regretted it, and if he had listened to someone's opinion, he would never have been so passive.

Thinking of someone, Sverdlov couldn't help but beg in his heart - Andrey, what the hell is your kid doing. A few hours have passed, and you should climb back to Petrograd, how can there be no news?

Actually, it's not that Li Xiaofeng is heartless and forgets to remind Sergei. Vasilinovich was going to deliver a message to the Party Central Committee. As a matter of fact. Before the two sides separated, Li Xiaofeng specially instructed Sergei to give feedback to the central government as soon as possible. Be sure to let Lenin understand what they were working on.

This is not Li Xiaofeng's desire to ask for credit, but as a subordinate's responsibility, put yourself in your shoes, Lenin, who is trapped in the Khshesinskaya Palace, is probably more anxious than those of them outside, at least Li Xiaofeng They can still work hard, but Lenin can only sit and wait. There's nothing more torturous than sitting and not being able to do anything.

Think about it from the perspective of the Mentor, if you were him, on this most torturous night, your subordinates would completely forget about your existence, and they would not have the heart or lungs to do their own work, and they would not even think about your pain. Afterwards, what would you think of such a subordinate? Do you trust as always, or do you just let this heartless fool roll up and get out of the way?

Li Xiaofeng would definitely not do such a stupid thing, even if it was very risky to inform Lenin of the news at this time, and the practical significance is better than nothing, but this work must be done! And the sooner you do it, the better!

It should be said that Sergei wanted to carry out Li Xiaofeng's instructions, and after leading the main force of the reconnaissance company back to the Ksheshinskaya Palace, he wanted to send capable investigators to sneak into the building in makeup to report the news, but he had no choice but to be under the command of Director Alexander, and it was not possible to crack the case, but he was a good hand at watching the scene.

"The enemy's sentry posts are too dense!" The scout complained indignantly, "Three steps, one post, five steps and one sentry, not to mention people, don't even think of a fly flying in!" ”

Sergei snorted, now he is very embarrassed, and it is probably impossible to sneak in secretly, but Li Xiaofeng's order is very clear, that is, to let Comrade Lenin know the development of the situation as soon as possible, and he must let his old man feel at ease!

Someone suggested, "Why don't we attack it!" ”

"That's right, go straight in and rescue Comrade Lenin!"

Seriously, Sergei was very willing to do this, and he really wanted to kill all the police and gendarmes who were besieging Kshessinskaya and break the siege for the Party Central Committee. But the problem is that it is too risky to do so, and it will be easy to destroy the enemy who is encircling the Party Central Committee, but who can guarantee that at the same time as launching a strong offensive, the enemy will suddenly attack Comrade Lenin? No one could afford this consequence, so Sergei would not agree to any plan of assault until Lenin's personal safety could not be guaranteed.

"Try again!" Sergei reluctantly ordered, "Tell Comrade Investigator that Comrade Lenin is anxiously waiting for news from us, and at all costs, we must find a way to get in!" ”

This is equivalent to a death order, and if nothing else, the investigator will probably risk his life to complete this task. Seriously, Sergey also did not want to give such an order that bordered on cruelty, but from a political point of view, this task must be completed, there is no room for bargaining!

Again, the make-up scout started to act again, this time he was already on a mission with the consciousness of death, even if it was a hard break, he would rush in! Just as he scurried towards the cordon laid out by the police, thinking about how to rush through. Behind him there was a loud bang, and a few seconds later, a terrifying pillar of smoke slowly rose into the sky.

The scout forgot to act, and stupidly looked at the direction of the column of smoke, according to his estimate, the direction of the smoke was in the center of the city, about three or five kilometers away from him in a straight line, if the deviation of his estimate was not too large, it seemed that it was the location of the Petrograd Police Headquarters?
