Kulikov is gone, although what he has gained is not entirely good news, but Li Xiaofeng's conditions are not completely unacceptable to him. It should be said that these conditions are not too excessive at all, and if the two sides change places, I am afraid that the conditions he offers will be even more harsh.

The main reason why Kulikov did not immediately agree to these conditions was that he was not the one who could make a decision, and he had to consult his superior, Yazov.

"It is impossible for the National Salvation Revolutionary Committee to agree to such conditions!" Yazov said worriedly, "If those old men knew that the Bolsheviks did not intend to let them go, then they would never have surrendered!" ”

Kulikov also knew that the National Salvation Revolutionary Committee could not agree to these conditions, and he did not expect the old men to make self-sacrifices. The reason why he went to negotiate was only for himself, for the sake of those soldiers under his command, as long as the interests of these people could be guaranteed, he didn't bother to care about the life and death of those masters!

"Colonel, this is our best and best chance!" Kulikov pleaded, "Are you going to watch your brothers go to their deaths?" ”

Yazov was silent for a moment, but he still had the most insistence in his heart, although he knew that there would be no good results if he continued to stand up, but he still wanted to do his duty as a soldier.

"Matvey, don't say any more!" He closed his eyes in agony, "I know your thoughts are good, but we can't do that!" ”

Kulikov was enraged, and he roared: "Then what to do, to be buried with those idiots?" Colonel, please sober up! It's not worth it! ”

Yazov remained silent. And Napokov's little secretary didn't know when the tunnel came out. He sneered and said to Kulikov: "I know that you have a problem." No wonder you knocked me unconscious. It turns out that you have reached an agreement with the Bolshevik rebels, hmph, you dog traitor! ”

"Dog traitor?" Kulikov glared at him and sneered: "What right do you cowardly bastards have to scold me? Have you ever been on a battlefield, have you fired a shot, have you killed an enemy? You rats, even if Lao Tzu is a traitor, he is more glorious than you! ”

"You still dare to use strong words!" The little secretary was enraged by Kulikov's robbery. Nodding his head, he said to Napokov behind him: "Your Excellency, you have heard everything! He himself has already admitted it! ”

Napokov walked up from the top of the stairs with a gloomy face and said coldly to Kulikov: "Matvey. Captain Kulikov, I'm so disappointed in you, you have lived up to our expectations. Now, on behalf of the National Salvation Revolutionary Committee, I withdraw my praise for you, you shameful traitor, you do not deserve the rank of captain! ”

Kulikov looked at Napokov and, seemingly completely indifferent, casually ripped off his rank insignia and threw it in Napokov's face. Laughed: "This kind of bullshit, you want to take it back." Just take it back! ”

Napokov was enraged, he did not expect Kulikov to be so arrogant, and he dared to make his State Duma unable to step down in person, it was simply lawless.

He jumped to his feet and roared, "Someone's coming! Drag this bastard down! ”

His secretary also chimed in: "Yes, drag it down, shoot this dog traitor!" ”

"I see who dares!" Yazov slapped the table and yelled at the master and servant: "What do you want to do? I'm the commander here! ”

Napokov was taken aback, he did not expect Yazov to be angry, and stammered: "Colonel, what do you mean by this, do you want to favor this traitor?" Or rather, are you ready to betray our country ?! ”

"I didn't mean that!" Yazov stared at Napokov coldly and said slowly: "All the soldiers under my command, including Matvey, are good young men!" Each and every one of them has done their best, and no matter what choice they make next, they should not be blamed or blamed! They have done their duty as a soldier! ”

Yazov's Adam's apple moved, and he continued: "No matter who it is, whether it is the Committee for the Salvation of the Country or the Revolutionary Committee, even if Prime Minister Lvov and Kerensky came in person, I have to say that no one can blame my soldiers!" No one can hurt my soldiers on trumped-up charges! Do you understand, Your Excellency Duma! ”

Napokov's lips moved, but he didn't speak, he guessed what Yazov meant, whether he was going to sell them and surrender, or was he going to make a big thing a small thing?

However, what Yazov was going to say next greatly surprised Napokov, and he solemnly walked up to Kulikov, patted him on the shoulder, and said heavily: "Matvey, maybe what you said is right, the National Salvation Revolutionary Committee is not worth fighting for." However, I am a soldier and I must obey orders, so I decided to stay and fight to the end! ”

As he spoke, he hugged Kulikov heavily, and suddenly said loudly: "Those who are seriously wounded, and those who don't want to continue fighting, can go with Captain Matvey!" He had come to an agreement with the Bolsheviks that the Bolsheviks would not embarrass you as long as you lay down your arms...... You're all gone! ”

As soon as these words came out, the hall was shocked, and most of the soldiers looked at Yazov directly, wondering if they had hallucinated just now. It was Kulikov who reacted the fastest, he grabbed Yazov and begged: "Colonel, what's the point of you staying!" Let's go, let's go together! ”

Yazov shook Kulikov's hand and said with a wry smile: "You can all go, but I can't go, I am the commander of the unit, and I must stay with my brother who died before." If I were to go too, the sacrifices they made would be completely meaningless! ”

Kulikov wanted to persuade him a few more words, but when he met Yazov's eyes, he knew that Yazov had already made up his mind, and he could not be convinced.

While Kulikov and Yazov fell into a difficult silence, Napokov next to him screamed, and he roared angrily: "Yazov, are you crazy! Whoever gave you the authority to do this, I order you in the name of the State Duma and the Committee for the Salvation of the Revolution. Take back the order now! ”

Yazov shook Kulikov's hand tightly. Turn your head. Stared coldly at Napokov with the only one-eye, "I have already said it just now, not to mention the State Duma, even if the Prime Minister of the Cabinet comes, it is useless!" This is my troops, and I have the right to make any decision! ”

Napokov went crazy and roared with his hands: "Then I will dismiss you from your post, now, you Yazov is no longer the commander of the troops." The National Salvation Revolutionary Committee will personally direct the next battle! ”

Speaking of this, he waved his hand and ordered the soldiers next to him: "Now, soldiers, listen to my orders." Arrest the traitors Yazov and Kulikov and bring them to justice! ”

Napokov shouted three times, but none of the soldiers responded to his order, most of the soldiers looked at him with hostile eyes, and as long as Yazov gave the order, they would arrest him Napokov instead.

"Are you going to rebel?" Napokov jumped to his feet. The pointer threatened: "I warn you, carry out my orders immediately. Otherwise......"

Otherwise, before the rest of the words were finished, Kulikov took the lead and rushed up and slapped him, "How else?" Arrest us all and shoot us. Hum! Who do you think you are, I tell you, Lao Tzu has endured you for a long time! ”

As he spoke, Kulikov kicked him two more times, until Yazov stopped him: "Stop! Matvey, don't be like him! ”

Yazov walked up to Napokov and said coldly: "Your Excellency Duma, I warn you once at the last time, don't point fingers at my soldiers, you are not qualified to do so!" Now, please go back and tell the members of the National Salvation Revolutionary Committee to inform them of this latest situation. I'm sure they should understand the choices the lads made. Of course, it doesn't matter if you don't understand, because I will personally show that I will continue to protect their safety until I die! ”

Napokov walked away with his little secretary, and they did not dare to stay for even a second, for fear that Yazov would immediately turn his face and deny people, and could only say that they lived the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain.

"You're all gone! Live well! Yazov said goodbye to Kulikov last time, and he knew that it was very likely, and this was their last goodbye.

"Colonel, take your brothers with you!" Kulikov was doing the most persuasive work, and he hoped that Yazov, as well as his comrades-in-arms who refused to leave, would wake up to the pointlessness of working for the National Salvation Revolutionary Committee.

"Don't persuade me anymore!" Yazov hugged him heavily and whispered in his ear: "Please go and meet my wife, Maria, and tell her that I will always love her!" After saying that, without waiting for Kulikov's reaction, he pushed him away heavily, turned around and left without hesitation.

Kulikov's mouth was open, but he couldn't say a word, he had never been so uncomfortable, even when his beloved girl married a Jewish nouveau riche, he was not so sad, so sad. At that moment, he felt like a piece of flesh had been cut off from his heart by a sharp knife.

"Brothers, let's go!" Kulikov turned around and said to his comrades, who were supporting the wounded soldiers: "Let's get out of here, get out of this sad place!" ”

Li Xiaofeng didn't know that Kulikov was experiencing a parting of life and death, and at this time, he was meeting an inexplicable person and listening to him say some inexplicable words.

"Andrey. Comrade Petrovich, I heard that you are preparing peace talks with our enemies? Ordzhonikidze asked commandingly.

Li Xiaofeng didn't know that Ordzhonikidze was in Moscow, and he didn't know that he had already gone to trouble Georgi, so he was surprised when this cargo broke in. It was only then that he had some idea of what Mikoyan's last hole card was - no wonder the Central Executive Committee of the Moscow Soviets of Engineer Deputies was so bold, no wonder their counterattack was so sharp, and the feeling was that you Ordzhonikidze was making a mistake in it!

As Stalin's iron-clad ally and the elder of the Georgian gang, who later became famous in Russian politics, Ordzhonikidze had a very high status. Although the ending of this goods is tragic - forced suicide. However, it must be said that in the entire Georgian gang, he was the most loyal to Stalin.

This guy, who was not particularly good-tempered, had a blind trust and admiration for Stalin, trusting this old friend almost without hesitation or reservation.

What do you say almost? Because this brother still has a little conscience. For the later Great Purge. He wasn't entirely in favor of that. In the Great Purge, there was also an attempt to protect some innocent people. But that didn't mean anything, his most trusted subordinate Pidakov, and his big brother Paprija, who led him on the revolutionary road, were purged and executed one by one.

Even in this case, Stalin demanded that he publish a key report "not only to praise the arrests that have already been carried out, but also to further demonstrate the need for purges." At that time, Ordzhonikidze was physically and mentally exhausted, and after a big quarrel with Stalin, he chose to commit suicide by swallowing a gun in a dilemma.

That's all for later. Today's Ordzhonikidze may not have seen Stalin's iron blood and ambition clearly, of course, perhaps he may not have seen Stalin's face clearly at the moment of his suicide, otherwise he would not have chosen such a cowardly way to end his life.

Now, out of friendship with Stalin, out of friendship with Mikoyan and Kirov, Ordzhonikidze blindly believes that it was Mulalov, Lomov, and Smirlov who committed the crime. Even Li Xiaofeng. So the first time he saw Li Xiaofeng, he launched a sharp offensive. Be prepared to take the lead.

"I don't know what you're talking about!" Li Xiaofeng replied lightly.

"Don't play dumb!" Ordzhonikidze was furious, "I've heard that you've met with two enemy negotiators and are ready to reach a compromise with them!" ”

Speaking of this, he slammed the table and said, "I must warn you, Andrey. Comrade Petrovich, you are making a mistake, you are following the old path of Zinoviev! ”

Li Xiaofeng looked at him coldly, although he had heard a little about Ordzhoni Keize's fiery temper, but after receiving the lesson today, he realized that it was better to be famous than to meet. This guy is an active volcano that erupts from time to time.

"I repeat," Li Xiaofeng said slowly, "Gregory. Comrade Konstantinovich, I don't know what nonsense you're talking about! No one here is ready to negotiate with the enemy! ”

Who would have thought that Ordzhonikidze would have erupted at that time, and he pointed at Li Xiaofeng's nose and said: "You still dare to lie, you dare to say that no enemy negotiator has entered this house?" I warn you, don't leave anything to chance, I have witnesses! ”

Li Xiaofeng was also angry, and slapped away Ordzhoniqize's fingers, "I also warn you, don't make trouble here unreasonably!" The negotiators of the enemy came, which means that we have negotiated? Is it the same as we are following the old path of Zinoviev? Comrade Gregory, are you simple-minded, or did you come on purpose to find fault! ”

Ordzhonikid was stunned, and in fact his inside only told him that two White Army negotiators had met Li Xiaofeng, and did not say that any agreement had been reached, or even that the two sides had negotiated. All this is just his own brain supplement under anger.

And he still refused to admit his mistake, and continued to make trouble unreasonably: "Why, you still beat a rake!" If you don't have a ghost in your heart, why should you meet with the enemy's representatives? Why don't you shoot these dog mongrels directly! ”

"Are you stupid?" Li Xiaofeng couldn't laugh or cry, "Do you understand the basic rules of engagement, the two countries will not fight each other." What's the point of killing them other than to anger the enemy? Do you want your angry enemies to fight us to the death? ”

"What if you don't die!" Ordzhonikidze, who seemed to feel that he was in possession, hissed and exclaimed: "The proletarian revolution is meant to fight the bourgeoisie endlessly, and you are trying to escape the revolution and compromise with the enemy!" ”

Li Xiaofeng is really angry and funny, the other party actually buttoned him this kind of hat, isn't this a bone in the egg? Of course, he will not be polite to people who don't talk well and mess around.

He pointed out the door, pointed to the position of the White Army, and said to Ordzhonikidze: "Then I will welcome Comrade Grigory, you go to fight the enemy to the death, go straight out, five hundred meters ahead is the enemy's position, you go!" ”

As he spoke, he said to Pjanitsky in a sarcastic tone: "Take a rifle for Comrade Grigory, organize the fighters, and observe and learn from Comrade Grigory's fearless revolutionary dedication!" See how he fought the enemy to the death! ”

With a pop, Pjanitsky and Vladimirsky both laughed, and Ordzhoniqi was so angry that he trembled, pointed at Li Xiaofeng and said tremblingly: "You...... You ......"

Before Ordzhonikidze finished speaking, Li Xiaofeng blocked him back: "What are you!" Isn't that your theory? You have to fight the enemy to the death! Then please be a role model! Speaking of this, he sneered: "What, afraid of death?" Don't dare to go? ”

Li Xiaofeng snorted contemptuously: "Who can't talk empty words, it's a man, you must first prove that you dare to fight the enemy endlessly, and then criticize others." Otherwise, don't spray manure here! ”

Ordzhonikidze was so attacked by the junior that he was so angry that he was about to have a heart attack, and he roared at that time: "Andrey. Petrovich, you bastard! ”

"Am I a bastard?" Li Xiaofeng glared at him viciously, pointed at his nose and scolded: "Which bastard rushed in when he ran and kicked the door, and he didn't say anything!" Button me up and talk nonsense in front of me! Phew! I'm telling you, Grigory. Konstantin Lovevich, don't give me the old and sell the old, I won't eat you! (To be continued......)
