Early morning November 1, 1917.

Beautiful St. Petersburg is as silent as death, the streets are deserted by government troops and police, and low clouds of snow weigh over the city, making it gloomy and oppressive. Suddenly, the silence was broken by the crisp sound of a bicycle bell, and a small newsboy on a bicycle with a thick bundle of newspapers had just come out of the printing house, and a copy of the newspaper had been wiped off the back seat of the bumpy bike and had inadvertently dropped a copy of it. The "New Life Newspaper" on the cover indicates that this is just an ordinary newspaper, but as the cold wind slowly turns, a large number of articles on the current situation and political situation began to appear in the newspaper, as well as the recent uproar about the withdrawal from the war and the reform of land nationalization, which have caused great controversy, especially when the wind blows the last page, and a major news about the second revolution to be launched within this month appears on the paper!

After half a year of political struggle, the St. Petersburg Soviet finally came to a critical juncture of completely tearing its face. Everyone in St. Petersburg is worried but hopeful that the political struggle will end sooner rather than later, and that the country will be restored to stability, and that there will be real peace after the end of the war.

So, one hand quickly picked up the newspaper.

The owner of the hand was named Jacob, who turned out to be the most ordinary turner of the St. Petersburg boiler plant, but because of the collapse of the economy, the factory owner laid off his job, so he vented all his anger on the tsar and the government who supported the war. Although the revolution half a year ago overthrew the Tsar, life still did not improve, so he decided to continue the "revolution" with everyone, so he joined the workers' street Red Guards, so when he saw the news that the second revolution was going to be held this month, his eyes widened.

Is there really going to be a second revolution? But why is it in the newspapers? Is there a traitor? Thinking of this, he immediately ran to the captain's house without caring about anything else, hoping to find out whether what was said in the newspaper was true or false. In fact, he didn't like the current captain, because that guy used to be a hooligan on the streets of St. Petersburg, and it is said that he got to where he is today by climbing up to a poor party elite. Suddenly became the captain of the Red Guards in the streets, commanding more than 2,000 workers in St. Petersburg. What's even more disgusting is that the guy used his power to play with a lot of women, even though those women were prostitutes and small factory capitalists. But he still thinks it's immoral.

Sure enough, when he reached the door, he heard the strange moaning of a woman coming from the room.

In the musty room, revolvers and bullet packs hung at the head of the bed, on which an intense spring palace was being staged. Ivan Rosky, who had a knife-faced face and a broken beard, was wearing a sweater, his smooth lower body kept stirring, and the woman under him had been stripped into a white sheep, and the two ** kept shaking with the movement. One high-pitched moan after another made the man more excited.

Jacob outside the door didn't raise his hand and knocked on the door immediately, and even the moaning of ** couldn't arouse any interest, the current St. Petersburg woman is no longer a necessity, and he needs to think about how to solve the bread that the three children need, so he waited until he was done inside before knocking on the door. After Ivan Roski swaggered open the door, the woman inside was still ** upper, and when she saw Jacob, she didn't panic, and slowly got dressed and picked up a small cloth bag stuffed with food and left the room.

"What's the matter? Comrade Jacob. ”

Ivan Roski swaggered and buckled the belt. He wore the revolver visibly on his waist, as if no one else knew he had a pistol. Jacob didn't want to entangle with him too much and immediately opened the newspaper. Don't look at Ivanrosky's love to play with women. But he is not confused in major matters, especially the previous experience at the bottom of the society made him understand that if he wants to keep his rights, he must make achievements if he wants to climb up. So he immediately realized that the news of the second revolution in the newspaper gave him a good opportunity, so he grabbed the newspaper and said: "Traitor! This must have been deliberately instigated by traitors who had penetrated into our interior. Comrade Jacob, you are doing a very good job, and I will report it to the above immediately. ”

"Okay, please as soon as possible." Jacob didn't like him, but it was good to be able to tell the news to him, so he turned around and left the filthy room. Shortly after Jacob's departure. Ivanrowski appeared in front of the Smolny Palace on his bike. Since there were guards guarding the door, he didn't dare to go in and had to wait at the door.

A moment later, Qin Jian finally appeared in the distance.

At this time, Qin Jian was wearing a yellow tweed coat, and the bright red Red Guard armband on his left arm was particularly eye-catching. Due to his meritorious service in the Sevastopol incident, he was appointed the new leader of the Caucasian squad after recovering from his wounds, and since the February Revolution, he has immediately become Stalin's most loyal comrade by daring to fight and kill. He was not only appointed assistant but also assigned to the important Workers' Red Guards as a senior officer to help Comrade Stalin "manage" the armed forces. Thanks to his efforts, in just half a year, the once weak street armed forces have grown into quasi-military forces, and after the Kornilov rebellion in July, they have become the largest armed force in St. Petersburg. Of course, this is mainly because of the "meritorious escort".

"Comrade Mir, Comrade Mir."

During Ivanrosky's call, Qin Jian raised his head, but when he saw him, his eyebrows wrinkled unnoticed: "Comrade Ivan, why did you come here?" ”

Ivanrosky was a little afraid of Qin Jian's eyes, not to mention that he was his immediate boss, he was the backbone officer he promoted. Moreover, according to the grapevine, during the July rebellion, his boss personally killed more than a dozen rebel officers and soldiers, and was a well-known executioner in the Red Guards. Therefore, how dare you delay, and immediately take out the newspaper and turn to the last page as if to invite merit: "Comrade Mir, you see, this is what I found this morning, and I think it is very important. ”

After reading the article, Qin Jian was also taken aback, as a senior officer of the Red Guards, he did know that the Second Revolution would begin this month, and he secretly passed on the news. But to the outside world, this is an internal secret of the poor party, how can it suddenly appear in the newspapers? Could it be that someone on my line leaked the news by mistake? Concerned about it, Qin Jian hurriedly picked up the newspaper and said: "It's done very well, I will definitely report this matter to Comrade Stalin for a thorough investigation!" ”

"Okay." Ivanroski was so excited that he had finally made a big contribution. But before he could turn his head, he was suddenly stopped by Qin Jian: "Comrade Ivan, how did I explain what happened last time?" ”

"Look I've forgotten." Ivan Rosky immediately took out a thick list and address from his personal pocket and handed it to Qin Jian: "Comrade Mir, these are the specific information of the scientists and engineers you asked me to inquire. Many of these damn fellows are imperialist lackeys, minions of the capitalists. I think it should be cleaned up. Without waiting for him to finish, Qin Jian interrupted: "Very well done, I will hand over this list to the Politburo immediately, and I believe that the reward for Ling will come down soon." But it must be kept secret! I don't like people who talk a lot! ”

"Yes, yes." Ivanrosky deserves to be a bastard born in the lower classes. Naturally he knew what he could and couldn't say, and since Qin Jian had already said that there would be a reward, then he didn't have to know about other things, so he nodded and left the building happily. Qin Jian sighed, quietly put away the directory and trotted all the way to the second floor, he is now Stalin's assistant, so he naturally wants to serve the poor party with all his heart. When he arrived at the office door, he heard the sound of answering the phone from inside. He didn't dare get too close. There were several other comrades waiting to do business at the door, but the wooden door obviously could not block out all the sounds, and Stalin could faintly hear the names Zinoviev and Kamenev.

Since he couldn't hear clearly, he didn't want to think about it, so after nodding to a few comrades, he went to the window and lit a cigarette for himself. From his point of view, the entire Smolny Palace has become the world of the poor party, full of so-called "office" people from all over the country. But except for a few, how many of the rest are sincere for the country? Even this scene reminded him of the city of Nanjing six years ago. It's funny to say that the Kuomintang and the poor party are actually very similar. They are all a minority faction transplanted from the outside, the difference is that at that time it was a confrontation between southern Beijing, and now there is a strange phenomenon of two power centers in one city. How can one mountain accommodate two tigers? So it's only a matter of time before you get your hands dirty. When he arrives in his position, he doesn't care about anything, but he is worried about his comrades-in-arms in Ukraine, once the Russian political scene changes dramatically again, what will these comrades-in-arms who are suffering in artillery fire and cold for the sake of the country? Did the commander-in-chief receive the news that they were going to do it soon, and did they make arrangements? How can the 80,000 soldiers and tens of thousands of Chinese workers living with the army and overseas Chinese living in various parts of Russia ensure safety in this great whirlpool?

Just as he was thinking about it, the door suddenly opened, and Stalin appeared at the door. In Qin Jian's eyes, this person was really boring, the buttons of the military uniform were straight and rigid, and his face seemed to be covered with frost for a hundred years. And the Georgian's naturally reticent character is also evident in him.

Qin Jian immediately walked up, took out the newspaper and said, "Comrade Stalin, you need to take a look at this. ”

Stalin took the newspaper, but after reading it, he was strangely not surprised, and nodded lightly: "Comrade Mir, you are doing a very good job. "He didn't use the word you. Instead, he simply used the word Ling, but it was this word that made other people around him look up to Qin Jian a lot, because although you also represent respect in Russian, you have another meaning of keeping a distance, so friends directly use Ling to express affection and closeness.

Qin Jian had long been accustomed to Stalin using the word "ling" to talk to him, because the relationship between the two was much closer after Sevastopol. What really surprised him was that Stalin was not surprised by the news, and hurriedly asked: "Comrade Stalin, I'm afraid this is a spy." ”

Stalin waved his hand, turned around and led him into the office, and then closed the door: "Comrade Lenin already knew about this, it was Zinoviev and Neminov who took it upon themselves to poke the news of the uprising into the newspapers!" Hmph, I thought we didn't know! They violated the principles of the party, so Comrade Lenin had already sent them to Ukraine to make meritorious service and to Kiev to organize local Soviets. By the way, I will also go to Kiev immediately to find Comrade Frunze and help me deliver this letter to him. Stalin handed a letter to Qin Jian.

Seeing that he was about to do it in the next few days, but he was suddenly transferred to Kyiv, Qin Jian sighed in his heart. Was it discovered? But he quickly rejected the idea, because he had only contacted the upline twice so far, and if he found out who he was, he would have already done it, so why would he send himself to Kyiv to meet Frunze. Most likely, this letter is very, very important, and he needs to find someone who can be relied on and has combat experience to prevent it from being destroyed by the enemy. So he immediately said goodbye to Stalin, went back to the office, packed a few accompanying clothes, and immediately asked his men to look for the car without a moment's delay.

In addition to pretending to be very active in completing the task, this move also hoped to return early to participate in the second revolution. But when he got into the back seat of the car and rushed to the train station, and quietly opened the unsealed letter while his men were not paying attention, his eyes suddenly widened.

The letter was simply Lenin's request to the members of the Poor Party Soldiers' Committee of the South-Western Front, including Frunze, to immediately instigate the withdrawal of the Caucasian Cossack Cavalry Division, which was stationed south of Kiev, and to resume its course of action for disbandment and homecoming. In fact, there have been many, many such things, Lenin and his people trampled on the territory of the country despite the enemy, and wantonly planned the front-line soldiers to recover and abandon the defensive line to go home, trying to use foreign wars to oppress the domestic opposition forces and use the national crisis to strengthen themselves.

This alone was in serious conflict with the idea of the supremacy of the state that he accepted, and he could not have any good opinion of the poor party, but he did not want to care about it. But the problem is very different this time, because the side of this cavalry division is his comrades in the expeditionary force!

Did they want to use the German ** team to drive away the expeditionary force?

Thinking of this, Qin Jian shuddered, there is no doubt that Lenin and they had realized that if they dealt with the Chinese expeditionary force in Ukraine as soon as possible, they would probably encounter the strongest armed attack from the Don River valley in Ukraine, so they needed to use the most direct method to let go of the defense line and deliberately expose the 80,000 soldiers of the expeditionary force to the German-Austrian guns!

Be sure to get the news out! But what should be done? …… ()
