269 To die?
Dzerzhinsky felt that it was completely unnecessary to report the case to the Politburo, although it was very likely that the incident involved counter-revolutionary acts, but after all, nothing had happened yet, right? Nothing happened, just a few blank letters of appointment, and such a small thing the size of a sesame mung bean was going to harass the Politburo. What, do you think Politburo members are really too idle?
Dzerzhinsky was inclined not to report it, but Li Xiaofeng couldn't agree at all, that is, he had to say to the Politburo before something happened, and he really had to wait for it to happen, which caused very bad consequences, and at that time the report was still a fart!
To put it bluntly, if you wait for something to happen and then report it to the Politburo, then there is a bit of shirking responsibility in it. And for those political opponents, they don't care if you are making an effort or not trying your best to solve the case, their two eyes are only focused on the result.
The result is that if you don't report it, you will be careless, and you don't have to think about it anyway, and piles of big hats will be buttoned up. If, as in history, Dzerzhinsky was the only one who took the blame, Li Xiaofeng would go with him, and the emperor was not in a hurry and the eunuch was in a hurry? The man in the iron mask, you are not in a hurry, he is an outsider in a hurry!
However, now the situation is completely different, and it is unceremonious to say that a certain immortal and Dzerzhinsky are grasshoppers on the same rope, and if the counter-revolutionaries use the fake documents of the Ministry of Internal Affairs or the Cheka to engage in counter-revolutionary activities and cause extremely bad effects, then neither of them can escape!
Li Xiaofeng doesn't know whether he can crack the case according to Dzerzhinsky's methods, and no one can say for sure. After all, the enemy is in the dark, they are in the light, and others have taken the initiative, so they can only passively take the move. Most likely, only if this gang begins to carry out the conspiracy. Even after the conspiracy is carried out, the clues can be found.
And as I said before, when it happens, it's too late. In order to reduce the responsibility as much as possible, Li Xiaofeng's choice is to take the responsibility in front, and admit his mistakes in advance before the bad consequences have occurred. At that time, it was equivalent to that he had already made a warning in advance, if there were any bad consequences caused by a few fake documents. His responsibilities are much less, and he can even be completely avoided.
I have to say that the growth of this year has made a certain immortal more and more like a bureaucrat. His approach is that no matter what the outcome of the matter is, the first thing is to protect himself first. Scoop yourself out and wash yourself first, and if you don't hear it, you can protect yourself.
And people like Dzerzhinsky. Obviously, this bureaucratic style is most disgusted. The man in the iron mask is more courageous to take responsibility, which is quite a bit of a dare to do. Objectively speaking, people like Dzerzhinsky are greater, if there are no more people like him in society, then this society is undoubtedly pathetic, and the big guy can completely roar with compassion: "The world is hot and cold, and people's hearts are not ancient!" ”
But. Then again, it's unrealistic to ask everyone to be like the Man in the Iron Mask, no matter what everyone else is doing. Li Xiaofeng was the first to be unable to do it. The nature of human beings is to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, and it is completely normal for a little citizen to have a style of small citizens. What's more, there is almost no room for the existence of the big dye vat of officialdom.
To put it mildly, if you want to do things, you must first be a man, and the most basic point of being a man is to save yourself first. If you can't even protect yourself, what are you talking about?
I have to say that Dzerzhinsky, who lives in this fiery era, is lucky, in this era of giving priority to doctrine and talking about dedication first, people's hearts are more simple and simple. In this relatively simple network of relationships, it is possible for people like Dzerzhinsky to survive. In later generations, people like Dzerzhinsky will be called stunned if they are polite, and they will be called stupid if they are not polite. Whether in the unit or in the company, there is no room for survival.
Of course, this is not to teach everyone to be "bureaucratic" and "slippery" like Li Xiaofeng, nor is it to ridicule and ridicule people like Dzerzhinsky. It should be said that such a person is worthy of admiration, because not everyone can tell the truth and serve the public wholeheartedly.
The reason why Dzerzhinsky's temper is mentioned again and again is nothing more than to make it clear that if you can't be as awesome as the Man in the Iron Mask, have persistence like the Man in the Iron Mask, and never regret it like the Man in the Iron Mask, then you might as well learn to be a little smarter. There is no harm in this, the water is clear, there are no fish, people are observed, everyone just wants to live comfortably, don't be too serious, don't drill the horns, don't be too stubborn, a little more understanding and tolerance, better than anything else.
Well, so much preaching. To get back to the point, although Dzerzhinsky is straight, he is not stupid, and he knows very well what the fundamental reason for a certain immortal to ask for a notification to the Politburo is. He doesn't appreciate this kind of slippery behavior, which is also the fundamental reason why he was the one who led a certain immortal to embark on the revolutionary road, and then the two drifted apart.
The tempers of the two people are too far apart, and the things they insist on are completely different, and they can only come together because of the ghosts hitting the wall. Dzerzhinsky was very sad about a certain immortal who had grown crooked, and he felt that if he had educated and guided a certain immortal more at that time, maybe a certain immortal would have been completely different now.
Of course, this is not to say that Dzerzhinsky is not satisfied with someone's growth, but he feels that it is perfectly possible to grow better on someone's terms. It's like elders and teachers seeing that the originally talented and amazing students have grown up and not living up to their original expectations, which is more of a pity.
However, Li Xiaofeng did not understand Dzerzhinsky's regret at all, for him, the next 20 years will be an era of extremely harsh political struggle, make fewer mistakes and try to protect yourself, and work hard to survive is the king. If a gentleman does not stand under the dangerous wall, he can't even guarantee his survival, so he can talk about his ideals and future!
So no matter whether Dzerzhinsky disagrees or regrets, Li Xiaofeng is absolutely going to make a big fuss, and he will definitely report this matter to the Politburo, so that he doesn't have to carry the black pot!
It should be said that after this incident was stabbed, the response was very enthusiastic, not that several bigwigs of the Politburo attached great importance to this matter, which caused an unusual response. In fact, on the contrary, neither Lenin nor Trotsky felt that a certain immortal was making a big fuss. If you have a big fart, you have to harass the Politburo, are you a kindergarten aunt when you are a member of the Politburo?
Stalin also directly ridiculed a certain immortal, thinking that this person was as timid as a mouse and had no responsibility at all, and even Sverdlov felt that a certain immortal was smart and confused for a while, and he really took a bad step!
"Andrey, what the hell are you doing?" Sverdlov rarely spoke to a certain immortal in a serious tone, which shows that Xiao Si is distressed by the behavior of a certain immortal pig teammate.
But Li Xiaofeng really can't explain this matter clearly, he can't say that he has crossed over, and he knows that something bad is going to happen. So clear yourself in advance. If you really want to say that, it is estimated that Xiao Si will send him to a psychiatric hospital directly.
So the guy could only say vaguely: "This matter can be big or small, but according to the information I have now, the possibility of developing in the bad direction is very high, and I must make a little preparation in advance!" ”
Naturally, such an explanation could not convince Sverdlov. But his tone was a little better, and what he was most worried about was someone's brain cramping and stinky chess. And now it seems. Someone seems to have thought seriously about it. It's not nonsense.
"Going to the bad side? How to develop in the bad way? Xiao Si asked suspiciously, and then said as if complaining: "Comrade Felix is already working on the arrangement, what big problems can occur with him?!" ”
Li Xiaofeng sighed, Xiao Si and the gangsters still have too blind trust in Dzerzhinsky, and always think that the man in the iron mask is a good hand in purging rebellion, and any counter-revolutionary as long as he detects the slightest clue. Don't even think about running away.
But let Li Xiaofeng say that Dzerzhinsky's ability is indeed outstanding, and he is indeed very good at suppressing rebellion, but no matter how he says it, he is a human being and not a god. It's impossible to get back all the successes. Even a certain immortal, a genuine god, does not dare to guarantee that he will be able to crack those counter-revolutionary conspirators, is Dzerzhinsky even more awesome than an immortal?
Anyway, Li Xiaofeng is not very optimistic about Dzerzhinsky, because the current situation is completely passive, and you don't know when the Daoist people will do it, and you don't know in which direction the Daoist people will move. With black eyes and blind optimism, isn't this death?
Sverdlov was silent, although he still had confidence in Dzerzhinsky, but he had to admit that the concerns of a certain immortal were also very reasonable. As the old saying goes, if you are not afraid of 10,000, you are afraid of what if, what if the man in the iron mask stumbles? Whose responsibility was it then?
Seeing that Xiao Si understood his worries, a certain immortal took advantage of the heat and said: "Actually, I think there is a fundamental problem with Comrade Felix's handling of this case!" ”
Sverdlov was taken aback, he didn't understand why someone would suddenly attack the Man in the Iron Mask, hadn't he heard that the two of them had a bad relationship? Why do you still use such harsh words?
Li Xiaofeng shook his head and said, "I'm not condemning Comrade Felix, nor am I being alarmist. It's that his handling of this case is really inappropriate! ”
Sverdlov was curious and asked, "What's wrong?" ”
Li Xiaofeng sighed gloomily: "From the beginning, he should not have blocked the news, he should not have downplayed the impact of the incident, but should have investigated it with great fanfare, and should have warned the whole party to be vigilant!" ”
Sverdlov was stunned, or rather, his brain was a little outnumbered. Although he had never done anti-rebellion work or worked as a detective, he felt that Dzerzhinsky's response was not too problematic. Deliberately downplaying the impact can lead the snake out of the hole, isn't it, only by letting the enemy relax their vigilance and let them take the initiative to expose it, can they be taken down?
And according to the opinion of a certain immortal, to investigate with great fanfare, this is not to tell the enemy that your conspiracy has been discovered, and it is useless for you to steal the blank power of attorney and falsify. In this case, will the enemy still be dispatched?
If the enemy continues to hide in the shadows, then it is not generally difficult to identify them. Even, the enemy can secretly plot a new conspiracy, and at that time we are completely unconscious, isn't it more difficult to defend?
All in all, if Sverdlov had to choose, he would definitely choose Dzerzhinsky's plan rather than Li Xiaofeng's.
However, Li Xiaofeng disagreed, and he had his own set of theories: "Comrade Yakov, let me ask you the simplest question, why did the enemy steal the blank letter of appointment? ”
Sverdlov didn't think about it, and replied directly: "Make fake documents, pretend to be a staff member of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Cheka!" ”
Li Xiaofeng nodded. And again: "Then let me ask you again, what can you do by pretending to be a staff member of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Cheka?" ”
Sverdlov didn't answer the question right away, not because he didn't know the answer, but because there were too many. There are so many things that the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Cheka are responsible for, and many of them are critical, and these impostors can do so much.
"Look at it!" Li Xiaofeng sighed again, "Even you know that the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Cheka are involved in too many businesses, and many of them are quite influential. Let me give you a few simple examples. They can pose, at all, the staff of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Cheka, get close to the central leadership, carry out assassinations, and steal our confidential documents...... Either one has the potential to cause significant damage to the revolution! ”
Sverdlov stopped talking, because he also thought of certain terrible possibilities. What if these counter-revolutionaries were going to become assassins? Lenin has already been assassinated more than once, although the first few times have turned out to be auspicious. But who can guarantee that the next time will still be spared?
"It's a possibility." Sverdlov laughed dryly, but immediately added: "But after the previous assassinations, the central security work has been greatly strengthened, and it is almost impossible for the assassins to infiltrate!" ”
Li Xiaofeng snorted angrily: "What if the enemy does not choose the central leadership as the target, but chooses those targets with weak defense, such as foreign envoys!" ”
Sverdlov's mouth opened wide. He was speechless, for he knew that it was entirely possible, and that the elimination of a few foreign envoys would inevitably make the Soviet power extremely passive. It is even possible that these counter-revolutionaries may use bitter meat tricks. What if they attack the embassies of the Entente bloc?
Thinking of this, Sverdlov broke out in a cold sweat, once this kind of thing happened, even if a discerning person could see at a glance that this was a frame-up, but for the counter-revolutionaries and the Entente, they would not follow the position of the Bolsheviks, and more likely would push the boat with the current and directly put the basin on the heads of the Bolsheviks!
If this situation really arises, then the Cheka and the Ministry of Internal Affairs are probably to blame. If you look at it this way, it is understandable that someone is making a big fuss.
However, Sverdlov still felt: "Comrade Felix should have noticed these problems, he should have made comprehensive arrangements, and he should not let such a vicious incident happen!" ”
Li Xiaofeng laughed in his heart, you said that it should be, but it can be seen that this is not the case, Xiao Si, you are not sure. Anyway, Li Xiaofeng is not optimistic about the arrangement of the man in the iron mask at all, let alone thinks that he can do everything.
So he said: "I don't think Comrade Felix can do such a comprehensive job...... The reason is very simple: in order to prevent the grass from startling the snake, and in order to prevent the secret agents planted by the enemy from detecting that something is wrong, the reconnaissance method is extremely covert and strictly secret. And this has decided that it is impossible for us to warn the whole party to be vigilant and to tell our comrades what to be vigilant and guard against. ”
Sverdlov stopped talking, he already fully understood what Li Xiaofeng meant, the whole operation was very contradictory, if you want to strengthen the defense, you must make a big fanfare, and this is very likely to leak the news; On the other hand, there is no way to talk about strengthening the defense.
Li Xiaofeng noticed that Sverdlov's face was wrong, but he had even more ugly words to hear!
"Actually, the worst isn't here yet!" Li Xiaofeng said slowly, "The worst thing is that we don't know what the enemy wants to do. There are too many targets they may attack, and with the arrangement made by Comrade Felix, it is very likely that once these poisonous snakes come out of their holes, they will reach the most critical juncture. At this point, there will be very little time left for Comrade Felix to react......"
Li Xiaofeng didn't finish the rest of the story, but Sverdlov completely understood, do you need to say more? If you don't succeed, you will become a benevolent, and you will either live or die.
Suddenly, Xiao Si's face became very ugly, because he knew how big the risk was. To put it mildly, Dzerzhinsky is really reluctant to let the child catch the wolf this time, and if he misses, he will really lose to his grandmother's house.
Li Xiaofeng smiled bitterly and said, "Now you understand why I want to make a big fuss, right?" Comrade Felix is gambling, and I don't want to accompany him to the end, the risk is too great! ”
Sverdlov's face changed and he asked, "Is it possible to stop him?" ”
Li Xiaofeng smiled bitterly again, he was still afraid that Xiao Si would ask this question, because there was only one way: "Unless we take the initiative to leak the news, but ......"
But Li Xiaofeng didn't say the latter, but Sverdlov knew perfectly well that Dzerzhinsky would definitely be annoyed by doing this. Moreover, after a certain immortal stabbed the matter to the center, the bigwigs of the major mountains, in addition to laughing at someone, agreed to the fishing plan of the Iron Mask man more unanimously. At this time, the leaked news is out of the blue, that is, it is contrary to the resolution of the Central Committee, that is, it is a blatant violation of organizational discipline, especially when the person concerned is still the most iron-faced and selfless Dzerzhinsky, who dares to defy the law?
After a while, Sverdlov sighed: "What I thought before was still too simple, you reported the news to the Politburo, in fact, you want to stop Comrade Felix from doing it, right?" ”
Li Xiaofeng didn't speak, he did mean this, but who would have thought that the bigwigs in the center were too confident in the Iron Mask, almost full of trust, what else could he say?
Sverdlov and Li Xiaofeng looked at each other at the very least, and at this moment, the two of them probably had the same emotion in their hearts - Dzerzhinsky, you are going to kill yourself! (To be continued......)
