239 Persuasion
Lenin raised his head, and finally looked at a certain immortal, about the question of Tsar Nicholas II, the tutor was not really concerned, in his opinion Nicholas II was just a lost dog, as long as he wanted, a finger could make that goods go up in smoke.
In Lenin's view, the reason for keeping the family alive for the time being was that they were no longer able to hinder the Bolsheviks, and that he had so much on his hands lately that he had no time to deal with a dead king.
But now, Li Xiaofeng warned him in person, reminding him to be aware that the counter-revolutionaries might use Nicholas II to make a fuss. Such a possibility exists, and although the Mentor does not think that Nicholas II has such great appeal, it is good that he can eliminate a little potential threat.
"Did Teko and the Cheka hear any rumors?" Lenin muttered.
Like the mentor, Li Xiaofeng also didn't care about the life or death of the Tsar's family, if it wasn't for Princess Anne's pleading, he wouldn't have bothered to meddle in this troubled water. However, since the mentor took the initiative to put it forward, Li Xiaofeng was also happy to push the boat.
The man replied solemnly: "There are indeed some rumors, and some of the old and young seem to see the opportunity of restoration and are ready to move!" β
Lenin nodded slowly, although he had not heard similar rumors, but after a little thought about it, he knew that the old and the young were unwilling to lose their status as a privileged class, and in order to protect their exploitative interests, these guys would definitely use the royal family to do something.
"Is there any real action?" Lenin asked again.
"Not yet," Li Xiaofeng immediately added, "But the relevant conspiracy must be in the process of planning and improving!" β
Lenin was not particularly satisfied with this answer, and he preferred to hear that Tekko or Cheka had uncovered the plot of the old and the young. And someone is just here to report the application for arrest. And now. Apparently this is not the case. Someone is still just guessing, and it seems too reckless to act on a little guess.
So Lenin glanced at a certain immortal again and asked, "Is it just a guess?" β
Li Xiaofeng couldn't laugh or cry, but it wasn't a guess! If there is solid evidence, I will tell you what to do, I have already issued a wanted warrant to arrest people. But if you think about it, you can't answer it like that.
"It's not just speculation!" The creature replied immediately. "It's that the behavior of these old and young people is quite suspicious. I can almost say that in the near future, they will probably go into action, which will be to release Nicholas II's family and ......"
Lenin stretched out his hand to stop him from continuing, and the Master rubbed his temples and said, "Well, Andrey, I admit that there is such a possibility, but you have no evidence. What do you want us to do? Let's be straightforward, for this question. What's your opinion! β
Li Xiaofeng was waiting for this sentence, and he immediately said categorically: "I think decisive measures should be taken against Nicholas II's family immediately......"
Lenin's eyes widened and he asked with some surprise: "You mean that drastic measures should be taken against the family of Nicholas II, that is, the immediate execution of this family?!" β
Li Xiaofeng complained in his heart: "Mentor, this is what you said, I don't mean that." Well, I'm here to save people, not to kill people! β
Lenin was so overwhelmed by someone's ambiguity that the Mentor asked impatiently: "Then what do you mean?" β
Li Xiaofeng cleared his throat and said: "My opinion is that it is no longer appropriate to continue to let the Tsar's family live in Yekaterinburg. It is close to the Ural Mountains, and there is information that the activities of counter-revolutionaries are very rampant in this area centered on Ufa, and that they are likely to ......"
"It's quite possible to make a fuss with Nicholas II, right?" Lenin suddenly got up from his seat, walked to the map, looked at the positions of Yekaterinburg and Ufa, turned his head and said: "Your fears are justified, and the possibility cannot be ruled out!" β
After initial success, Li Xiaofeng decided to strike with the iron: "I think it is very necessary to transfer Nicholas II and his family members to Moscow or Petrograd. In both cities, the power of revolution prevailed. Under the watchful eye of the revolutionary masses, it is impossible for these feudal remnants to make a splash! β
Lenin sat back in his seat, his right index finger tapping on the table, pondering the question with great engrossion. To tell the truth, Li Xiaofeng thinks that the appearance of the tutor is too artificial, what is there to think about in such a simple question, and it is not your sentence to disagree!
However, it is clear that the Mentor is more far-reaching than he thought, and it is definitely not difficult to transfer the family of Nicholas II, and it is indeed necessary to live with only one order. But Lenin felt that tossing and turning all the time was not a long-term solution. For the liquidation of the Tsarist royal family, how to deal with this family, there must be a final plan, rather than so transfer back and forth, frightened, it is better to have a good time!
"Is it necessary to continue the transfer?" Lenin raised his head again and said very decisively: "It seems to me that it is time to give Nicholas II a break." It's time for this tyrant, stained with the blood of the Russian people, to pay for his sins! β
The Mentor's iron blood frightened Li Xiaofeng, he really didn't expect the Mentor's determination and hatred for the Tsar to be so great. Historically, because of the advance of the White Bandit Army, it was almost impossible to transfer the family of Nicholas II, so the decision was made to execute them immediately. This is not the case at all now, the White Army has not yet formed a climate, everything is under control, what are you doing in such a hurry to kill this family?
Anyway, what Li Xiaofeng wants is not such a result, he is really here to save people, if Princess Anne knows that Nicholas II's family originally had a few months to live, and he tossed it like this and immediately went to report to Lord Yama, it would not be the end!
And after having Pu Yi's example, Li Xiaofeng already had enough interest in transforming Nicholas II's family. He's like a kid who sees a toy he likes and can't wait to have a lot of fun. But who would have thought that the mentor couldn't help but say that he was going to smash the toy, how could he stand it?
But the mentor is not so persuasive. Especially if he feels that he is right. I saw that he said very categorically: "This executioner with a crown." He has used the benevolence of the revolution and has lived too long! β
Li Xiaofeng knew that he had to speak immediately, otherwise, the family would really fall to the ground, "Comrade Lenin, I think we must be cautious about this issue!" β
"Prudent?"
This time it was Lenin's turn to be suspicious, and in his opinion, Li Xiaofeng suddenly mentioned Nicholas II today. The purpose is to kill the family. Otherwise, who cares about the life or death of that goods in the center now. Serious attention to military and economic issues is not much stronger. And now, someone doesn't seem to mean that at all, what's going on?
Lenin became interested, and he smiled and asked: "Then tell me your opinion, what do you think should be done with Nicholas II?" β
Li Xiaofeng's little heart was pounding and pounding just now, and he was really worried that the tutor would not listen to him, and he would directly make a decision. He organized his language a little and said cautiously, "I mean, just put that family to death. It's so cheap for them! β
"Uh......"
Lenin was taken aback again, because someone's speech reminded him of some very cruel and bloody images. Could it be that the real intention of this thing is to torture this family? But I haven't heard that this guy has any deep hatred with the royal family?
"Comrade Andrei, as a Bolshevik, you have to be a little more open-minded. We must also show the necessary mercy to those who have committed the most heinous crimes, at least not cruelly. The execution of Nicholas II was an influential event in itself, and we cannot give the enemy any more excuse to attack! β
Li Xiaofeng was speechless for a while, and he said in his heart: "Master Mentor, why do you always think that I want to kill that family?" That's not what I meant! β
Lenin was completely confused by someone: "Then what do you mean?" β
"I think the execution of Nicholas II, as you just said, is a very influential event. This will cause an uproar in Europe, and I am afraid that the peoples of Europe will immediately think of Charles I and Louis XVIII! β
While saying that, Li Xiaofeng was paying attention to the face of the tutor, and for the time being, the tutor did not show any abnormality, but was very interested in his statement, "Go on, is there anything wrong with thinking of Charles I and Louis XVIII?" β
Li Xiaofeng cleared his throat and said: "In history, after the execution of these two monarchs, whether it is Britain or France, the revolution has been fluctuating and repetitive. In a sense, the revolution that executed the monarch was not completely successful. And now, again, we are going to put Nicholas II to death, it's easy to ......"
This is very reminiscent of the unsuccessful revolution in Britain and France, and will lead some historical prophets with ulterior motives to assert that the revolution in our country will also end in failure...... That's all you want to say, Andrey! β
Li Xiaofeng smiled and said, "Not quite." But there are some concerns about this! β
Lenin shook his head disdainfully and said: "This is the argument of historical idealism!" Andrey, as a materialist Bolshevik, I must say that your idea is both naΓ―ve and simple, and completely unnecessary! The victory of the revolution never lies in one or two people, much less in coincidence. I am convinced that even if we had executed Nicholas II in the same way, the revolution in our country would have been victorious! β
Li Xiaofeng saw that the situation was not good, and quickly interjected: "I also completely agree with this, the wheel of history is never something that one or two people can stop. Personally, as for the historical current, it is insignificant! β
Lenin was again confused by someone's shameless appearance, he did not understand whether this thing really understood what he meant, or simply, this thing was just seeing the wind and steering the rudder?
However, Li Xiaofeng has never been a person who sees the wind and steers, so he has a reason to say this, "Therefore, I think that not executing Nicholas II will also not go against the trend of history." He and the Romanovs are just dust in the air of history, not enough to influence the general trend of history! β
Speaking of this, the goods paused for a moment, and then said: "However, I think that historical dust like him still has a certain role in promoting the progress of the historical trend." His presence will be the best mirror, allowing more people to see the trend of history clearly! β
If Lenin was a little confused before, now he is completely confused. He was stunned by someone. After a long time, it seems that someone's real intention was not to kill Nicholas II. This conclusion made Lenin both angry and amused. But he was more interested in what someone was doing for him.
"Why?" The Mentor asked coldly.
Li Xiaofeng took a deep breath, he knew that the Dao had reached the most critical moment, and it could be said that success or failure was here.
He said slowly: "Comrade Lenin, you have just said that killing Nicholas II will have no effect on the tide of history, and in the same way, do not kill him. He's just a piece of dust, and the same doesn't matter. So, I don't think it matters if you kill him or not, it's not worth mentioning! β
Lenin interrupted him coldly and said, "Not necessarily, the masses of Petrograd would love to kill this tyrant and his broom star queen!" If it were up to us Bolsheviks to execute him, it would be quite representative! It can get the unanimous support of the grassroots people! For those of us who are struggling right now, this support is invaluable! β
Li Xiaofeng nodded, agreeing with the Mentor's statement, "I admit that there are benefits in this regard. But I don't think it's worth mentioning anything compared to the benefits of keeping their family! β
Lenin laughed. He never thought that there was any benefit in keeping this family, and to put it mildly, this family was all rice buckets, all of them were just foodies, and raising them was just a waste of food. And someone actually said that it was beneficial to leave such a group of rice buckets, do you say he is happy?
"Of course it's good!" Li Xiaofeng felt the ridicule of his mentor, which was unacceptable to him for saving face, and he immediately said angrily: "As I said earlier, I want to use Nicholas II as a mirror. Comrade Lenin, imagine how the imperialists would judge us if we had executed him? I'm afraid there are no good words, right? They would be constantly clamouring - see no, the Bolsheviks were all devils, who killed the abdicated monarch without trial, and did not spare their innocent children...... This speaks volumes about the devilish nature of the Bolsheviks! For the sake of freedom and human rights, these evil rebellions must be destroyed! β
Li Xiaofeng's vivid words made Lenin laugh, but the smile was laughing, and the mentor also knew that if the family of Nicholas II was really executed, the Western media would definitely make a big fuss, even more disgusting than what someone said.
"You mean to keep them like that? That's too cheap for him, too! Lenin raised his eyebrows, to be honest, it was more pleasant to settle the tutor of the Tsar's family.
The elder brother of the mentor failed to assassinate Alexander III, and even lost his small life, and the family suffered. It would be impossible to say that the Mentor didn't mind this at all, and in any case killing Nicholas II would have avenged it, and it would have been damned. So why did the mentor keep this guy alive?
Therefore, even if there may be a noise from the Western fly media, the mentor doesn't care too much, anyway, those goods have been scolding him for a few years, and if he is scolded again, he is not afraid of being bitten by lice. It can be seen that if Li Xiaofeng does not come up with some dry goods, it will be very difficult for Lenin to change his mind.
"Of course you can't keep this family for idle meals!" Li Xiaofeng said categorically, "We are the political party of the proletariat, and what we want to establish is the political power of the proletariat. In socialist Russia, what is needed is a moth to eat leisurely...... Labor and laborers will be the most glorious! My opinion is that the Tsar's family and other members of the royal family must be reformed through labor! β
"Labor reform?" Lenin frowned, "What's the use of that?" β
Li Xiaofeng replied confidently: "Of course it is useful, through labor reform, the Tsar's family can wake up and repent, let them know the hardships of the laborers, and let them understand the pain of exploitation...... Let them transform from the status of aristocrats and exploiters to ordinary laborers...... Such a transformation would be earth-shaking and would shake the entire exploiting class of Europe! β
Speaking of this, Li Xiaofeng suddenly strengthened his tone, showing a morbid euphoria: "Comrade Lenin, think about it, if we complete such a transformation, it will be no less than a lightning bolt for the exploiting classes in Europe!" We are tantamount to proving to the world the advanced nature of MARXISM! It will greatly shake the foundations of their rule, and it will be a great earthquake! β
Lenin was surprised, pondered, and he had to admit that someone's proposal was really exciting, and if it really succeeded, it would be a great earthquake. If Nicholas II can show up and say it, if he can affirm the theory of MARXISM through his mouth, it will be absolutely sensational!
Of course, although the prospects are infinitely bright, Lenin was not carried away, and even he was rather pessimistic about it, "Comrade Andrei, I have to say that your proposal is very groundbreaking!" But the difficulties involved are also quite significant! How can the exploiting class, especially the one standing at the top of the pyramid like Nicholas II, be so easily replaced? It's simply unthinkable! β
Li Xiaofeng replied firmly: "A HUNDRED YEARS AGO, THE THEORY OF MARXISM WAS UNTHINKABLE, IT WAS UNTHINKABLE TO OVERTHROW THE TSAR'S RULE TEN YEARS AGO, AND IT WAS ALSO INCONCEIVABLE THAT WE, THE BOLSHEVIKS, WOULD HAVE BEEN ABLE TO SEIZE POWER A YEAR AGO!" β
Lenin pondered for a long time before asking: "Can you guarantee success?" β
How could Li Xiaofeng make a military order, he replied: "I can't guarantee anything, I can only say responsibly, I will go all out to achieve it...... As for the results? Comrade Lenin, how bad can it be? (To be continued......)
