The Mariinsky Theater is a symbol of Russian culture. It was founded in 1783 after Catherine II commissioned the first Russian comedies, operas and the finest works of foreign composers to be staged. The theatre is located on the site of a circus performance in St. Petersburg, opposite the Bolshoi Theatre on Karosel Square.

The theater, designed by architect Kawolski, was officially opened in 1860 and was named after Maria, the wife of the reigning Tsar Alexander II at the time. For some time, it became known as the National Academic Theatre, and later, with the assassination of Stalin's nemesis, Kirov, the theatre was renamed the Kirov Theatre, and it was only after the end of the Soviet Union that it reverted to its original royal title.

Every year in June, the WhiteNights Festival kicks off in Petrograd, and the Mariinsky Theatre is the centerpiece of the event. Neplavnik's baton turned.

Born in the Czech Republic in 1869, the conductor Eduard Edward. Neplavnik served as chief conductor of the Mariinsky Theater for 47 years until his death. During this period, he directed almost every premiere at the Mariinsky Theatre and made it one of the most important opera houses in the world.

At that time, at the White Nights Festival, admire Edward. The performances of Neplavnik, Charyabin, Pavlova and Nijinsky were among the most extravagant treats of Russian high society.

However, for Li Xiaofeng, whether it is the glorious history of the Mariinsky Theater or Edward. He was not interested in Neplavnik's conducting, or in Chariabin's singing, although now he was invited to the famous theater to see it.

As a modern person raised in pop music, Hollywood movies, and computer games, Li Xiaofeng has no interest in theater, ballet, opera, and other forms of classical art, whether Eastern or Western, except for listening to symphonies when he is extremely bored. The reason why he went to the Mariinsky Theater was solely because of Yakov's invitation.

Why would Yakov invite a certain immortal to a very boring ballet performance? Probably because he fell in love with the fame of the Mariinsky Theater, as an underground worker who could not be exposed, it was a very serious matter to contract with his superiors in a safe venue.

Think about it, an upscale public place like the Mariinsky Theater, where no questions asked, is perfect for a secret meeting between two people who need to disguise themselves as unrelated: safe, private, and not easily noticeable.

Li Xiaofeng and Yakov walked into the same theater, enjoyed the same performance, and sat together very coincidentally. Even better, even if someone was following them, and those stalkers were lucky enough to get tickets to the concert, their chances of getting close to the two would be slim to the extent that they couldn't figure out what they were talking to under the influence of the music. Not to mention that Princess Anne had an upscale box at the Mariinsky Theater, where no one could disturb them.

But even so, Li Xiaofeng didn't like this meeting, he came late, and walked into the box slowly after the opening of the ballet.

"You're late, Andrey. Mr. Petrovich. Natalia, who leaned out of the box and watched the dance intently, said without looking back.

Li Xiaofeng sat down on the sofa, frowned and asked, "Why are you?" Didn't your brother look for me? ”。

Natalia still didn't look back, she could see that the chick was very interested in the performance on stage, and in response to someone's question, she replied lightly: "It's inconvenient for him to come forward!" ”

"What's inconvenient." Li Xiaofeng plucked his ears and said impatiently: "Does he really think of himself as a character?" Also, Miss Natalia, there is no need for us to meet here, even if he is inconvenient, I have no interest in these boring dances, and the music here is even more hypnotic! ”…,

"I'm not here to meet someone, but to see Nijinsky's great performance at the White Nights Festival." Natalia replied solemnly, "As for the rest, it's just incidental." ”

Li Xiaofeng was a little speechless, he knew that the chick in front of him was a die-hard ballet fan, and even she herself was running a ballet troupe that sold dog meat on the head of a sheep. Today, Nijinsky's performances are hard to come by, and only under the guise of a meeting can she enjoy Nijinsky's performance in Princess Anne's upscale box.

"Then let's talk about it." Li Xiaofeng said angrily, "I don't have any interest in ballet, hurry up and finish what I want to say, I should leave this ghost place quickly." ”

"You're vulgar, you don't have any artistic energy!" Natalia replied.

Li Xiaofeng shrugged: "Say whatever you want!" ”

When the greetings were over, the two men fell silent, Natalia didn't mean to get to the point at all, a poor rough eye stared at the dancers dancing on the stage, and listened to the lyrical music played by the orchestra, and felt bored—though the conductor of the orchestra was so rhythmic, the members of the orchestra played so exquisitely, and the ballet dancers were even more energetic on the stage.

Li Xiaofeng couldn't really appreciate all this, even if the real audience around him was already addicted to it, many old men had already begun to shake their heads - so a few minutes later. Li Xiaofeng decided to put an end to it all.

A certain immortal stood up without hesitation, ready to turn his head and leave, what do you like, Lao Tzu is not guilty of this crime!

Natalia, who was intently enjoying the performance, sighed: "I really don't have a little patience, it's really outrageous to talk about some boring things in such a wonderful performance!" ”

Speaking of this, Natalia sighed again: "It's three things in total!" ”

The corners of Li Xiaofeng's mouth grinned, and he said in his heart that my brother couldn't cure you, so he sat on the sofa and asked angrily, "What three things?" ”

"First, on the 6th of June (the 19th of June in the Gregorian calendar) you, the leader of the Bolsheviks, Lenin, convened an enlarged meeting of the Central Committee at the Khsheshinskaya Palace, which was attended by not only your members of the Central Committee, but also representatives of the Petrograd Committee and military organizations......"

Li Xiaofeng pricked up his ears, since he was recuperating at home, he has been marginalized in the party, like this The specific content of the enlarged meeting of the Central Committee, he has nowhere to inquire, he can only rely on Yakov's intelligence network to obtain information, but Yakov is indeed powerful, he can know the content of this kind of secret meeting, and he does not know how he did it.

"Say what's going on!" Li Xiaofeng anxiously urged.

Natalia pretended not to hear, just stared at the performance on the stage and shook her head, this time Li Xiaofeng was anxious, and had to give in: "Okay, if you have something to say, hurry up, it's a big deal that I will give you a full set of tickets for the music festival, so that you can watch it all at once!" ”

"That's pretty much it!" Natalia smiled slightly, she finally pulled back a game, and her heart said that no matter how arrogant your kid is, no matter how arrogant your aunt and grandmother are, there is a way to cure you!

"One of them, Podvoysky, your representative in the military, reported that five days ago your supporters in the army had become impatient and hoped that your Party Central Committee would launch a demonstration against the compromised and capitulating elements of the Central Committee of the Soviets and put more pressure on these capitulationists to abandon their positions."

At the First National Congress of the All-Russian Soviets of Engineer and Soldiers' Representatives, which opened on June 3 (June 16 of the Gregorian calendar), there were a total of 1,090 delegates, 822 with the right to vote, of whom 105 were Bolsheviks, 248 Mensheviks, and 285 were Socialists. …,

At the congress, Lenin strongly criticized the nationalist position of the Mensheviks and the Socialist Party and submitted a motion of no confidence in the coalition government, saying that the first provisional government was a purely imperialist government, and that the second coalition government was a disguised imperialist government with the participation of "socialist" ministers, and that Lenin demanded that all the rights of the government be returned to the Soviet of Workers' Peasants' and Soldiers' Deputies.

As I said, the Bolsheviks in today's Soviets have only a pitiful 105 seats, so Lenin's proposal was unanimously rejected by the Mensheviks and the Socialists. Even the congress adopted a resolution of the Menshevik centrist Donn in support of the coalition government.

Lenin, of course, would not just admit defeat, so he immediately delivered a speech on the question of war and peace, exposing the hypocrisy of the Mensheviks and the Socialists, on the one hand, in calling on the people of the German-Austrian Allies not to use the kings, capitalists, landlords and bankers as instruments of aggression and oppression, and on the other hand supporting the capitalists, landlords and bankers in their own country in the imperialist war.

In his speech, Lenin impassionedly declared that the only way out of the war was to overthrow the bourgeois regime in his own country, and that everything else was a false lie and a self-deception.

It is conceivable that such a statement would not be accepted by the Mensheviks and the right wing of the Socialist Party, so Lenin's proposal was again rejected miserably. The final resolution on the question of war, adopted at the end of the Congress, stated that the question of an offensive at the front (which Britain and France had called for Russia to intensify its offensive against Turkey and Germany in order to relieve their pressure on the front, and the Provisional Government had acceded to this demand) should be settled only from a purely strategic point of view, that is, that the core of the question was not to favour or oppose the offensive, but to recognize that the Provisional Government had the right to attack at any time.

It should be said that Lenin and his Bolsheviks did not take advantage of this meeting, and among the last elected members of the Central Executive Committee, the Bolsheviks had only 35 seats, while the Mensheviks and the Socialist Party had 104 and 99 seats respectively.

Faced with this situation, Lenin, of course, was not going to sit idly by, and this led to an enlarged meeting of the Central Committee of the Bolsheviks, at which Lenin fully agreed to Podvoysky's request and decided to hold a peaceful demonstration on June 10 (June 23 in the Gregorian calendar).

Li Xiaofeng's fingers tapped on the armrest of the sofa, and in his memory, this demonstration was the fuse of the July incident, which directly affected the direction of the political situation in Russia and required special attention.

"Is that all?". He asked.

Natalia tilted her head and asked, "Isn't that enough?" What else do you want to know? ”

"I want to know the reaction of the Mensheviks and society and the coalition government, don't tell me that even you know about it, they will be kept in the dark!"

Natalia smiled and said, "Of course they won't let you get your way!" ”

Li Xiaofeng stared at Natalia with straight eyes, urging: "If you have something to say, you can finish it at once!" Don't hide it! ”

"There really is only so much, do you think intelligence is so easy to handle?" Natalia spread her hands and smiled bitterly.

Now Li Xiaofeng was a little angry: "Just such a little material, can you use such a sneaky joint?" Just tell me on the radio and you're done! Don't you know that my current identity is very sensitive! ”

"It is precisely because of your sense of identity that my brother asked you out to say it! This brings me to the second thing I'm going to tell you! Natalia said with an oath.

Li Xiaofeng forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Natalia cleared her throat and said solemnly: "The second thing is that I am honored to inform you that you have been targeted!" ”

"What do you mean?" …,

"It's simple!" Natalia smirked, "It means you're being watched!" ”

Li Xiaofeng stood up solemnly and asked nervously, "Who is it?" ”

Natalia pulled him to sit down, and said angrily, "Why are you so nervous?" He can't come in, it's safe for us to speak! ”

Li Xiaofeng shook off Natalia's hand and said excitedly: "I'm asking, which force does this person belong to?" Is it the mastermind we've been looking for? ”

Natalia shook her head and said, "I'm afraid not, there are two groups of people who are monitoring you, but it can be seen that the method is quite clumsy, that is, you are a Ma Daha, and someone else would have found out a long time ago!" ”

Li Xiaofeng's face was a little feverish, he really didn't care much about his safety, who let there be too few things in this world that could pose a threat to him, he was at ease, naturally, the sense of crisis was very weak. Now that he was caught and ridiculed by Natalia, he felt very embarrassed, and immediately wanted to rush out of the gang to find those tails who were spying on him to settle accounts.

"Don't be in a hurry! Hear me out! Natalia dragged someone again, "We've found the mastermind behind the stalking of you, one wave was sent by your old adversary Kamenev, I'm afraid to grab your pigtails; And the other wave is sent by your leader to protect you, hmph, I can't see that he still values you quite much! ”

As soon as he heard this, Li Xiaofeng suddenly felt a little bored, of course he had to understand the kindness of the mentor, and naturally it was impossible to repay virtue with grievances, as for the people sent by Kamenev, there was no psychological burden to clean them up.

Natalia didn't notice someone's cautious eyes, and said to herself, "Now you understand why we want to connect here, right?" A lot of words your security awareness is too poor, and it can cause trouble, for the safety of both of us, it is better to be careful, we will not meet directly in the future, if you have something, go to my ballet troupe, box 10! ”

Li Xiaofeng actually disagrees with the caution of the Yakov brothers and sisters, with his ability, as long as he pays attention to it, he doesn't believe that anyone can keep up with any shrunken inch or stealth magic horse. However, since they said so, and there was no harm in being careful in intelligence work, he accepted this kindness.

"What about the third thing?" Li Xiaofeng asked for a long time.

"The third thing is actually the most important!" Natalia looked even more serious, "According to the information we received, at the earliest the night after tomorrow, and at the latest five days later, another batch of grain will be transported out of the strategic reserve warehouse......"

As soon as he heard this, Li Xiaofeng immediately perked up, in the month of cultivation, he was not idle in his hands, and he did two big votes in a row, and the food he grabbed made a lot of money, and now I heard that the fortune boy is coming again, how can you say he is not happy!

The guy asked anxiously, "Is the news accurate?" ”。

"Pretty sure!" Natalia nodded solemnly.

Li Xiaofeng has already begun to gear up: "How much grain is there?" ”

Natalia said slowly: "The amount is very amazing, no less than three thousand tons!" ”

Oh yes! Li Xiaofeng excitedly wanted to jump up and sing a song, he was really sleepy and sent a pillow, and the express delivery function of the cornucopia was opened, this time he could eat as much food as he could, isn't it just a little freight? Brother is not bad for that little fairy power!

Seeing that someone was so excited that she couldn't find Bei, Natalia spoke coldly: "Don't you think it's strange at all? ”

Li Xiaofeng asked inexplicably, "What's so strange?" ”

Natalia shook her head speechlessly, and reminded: "Don't forget, we just got our hands on it once ten days ago, and we took away 1,500 tons of grain...... But in the past ten days, there has been nothing abnormal in the whole of Petrograd, don't you think the other party's reaction is too calm? And even if it is calm, they will not be stupid enough to continue to transport food according to the old way, right? Quite a few words"

Li Xiaofeng's heart moved, he was patronized and happy just now, he didn't think about it at all, after Natalia's reminder, he immediately reacted, this is really wrong, even a fool knows that it is not too late to make amends, but the other party behaves worse than a fool, with the other party's IQ, means and network, it will never be so brain-dead.

When something goes wrong, it is a demon, and Li Xiaofeng immediately thought of a possibility: "You mean, this is a trap they designed?" (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to subscribe to the mobile network (.), reward, your support is my biggest motivation. )……，
