171 Door-to-door warning
Tsychelin was in a bad mood, or rather not since he worked in the People's Commissariat for Foreign Affairs. Since he was Lenin's man, he was naturally very different in the stronghold of Trotsky's power, not to mention being ostracized, and his presence was very good.
All along, Trotsky, Yue Fei, and Radek were like three mountains pressing down on him, making him breathless. Trotsky, Yue Fei, and Raddic were finally gone, and he had just felt that the pressure had eased, and as soon as disaster fell from the sky, the Mentor threw him an even more difficult task.
Tsicherin didn't want to go to Moscow, let alone deal with Li Xiaofeng, even if he was a person from Lenin, he felt that someone in the previous paragraph was too much, and he didn't save any face for the People's Commissariat for Foreign Affairs. Even though Trotsky was the main target of the slap in the face, Tsicherin still felt outnumbered.
However, this is an order from the Mentor, and even if Qi Qilin doesn't like it, he can only accept it. And if he can accomplish this mission cleanly and beautifully, it will be a great achievement, and it will be of great benefit to his future political career.
However, the problem is also very tricky, whether it is to communicate with the Germans, or to take over the mess caused by someone, it is not easy. The latter, in particular, can be said to have brought great passivity to diplomatic work, so how can these bad influences be eliminated?
Thinking about it, Citchherin fell into deep thought......
Before Christmas, and also after Li Xiaofeng categorically executed all the British spies, inevitably, the British were enraged. The British Empire had never been so slapped in the face, first in the robbery in front of the embassy, and then in the outright execution of British citizens despite warnings (the British were holding on to this). Twice in a row. The Bolsheviks swept the face of the British Empire. If you don't retaliate right away. Even the British feel like grandchildren.
How to retaliate? The British used a two-pronged approach, first of all, to create a situation in which the polar bears were unreasonable, colluding with the two hardcore allies, the United States and France, to put pressure on the Bolsheviks to apologize and punish the murderers.
Of course, this is only a superficial means, and the British Empire has never been a true gentleman politically, on the contrary, a country that considers itself a gentleman. Politically, it is an out-and-out obscene embryo, and all conspiracies and tricks are brought out.
Inevitably, in addition to swinging the iron fist head-on, there are also small movements behind the scenes. These British mongrels were constantly stirring up trouble in Moscow, constantly funding or provoking the Cadets and Social Revolutionaries to make trouble with the Bolsheviks. In just a few days, Moscow launched more than a dozen assassinations and attacks against Bolshevik leaders.
Although it did not cause any substantial damage to the Moscow Party Committee, it was also very annoying to be harassed like this. What's more, Li Xiaofeng has never been a master who has no revenge and has broken his teeth and swallowed it in his stomach. In response to the arrogance of the counter-revolutionaries, he immediately adopted a special operation to crack down hard.
It's nothing if you don't crack down. Immediately after the crackdown, the problem arose. The heads of the anti-Bolshevik events in Moscow who were inciting and creating all sorts of anti-Bolshevik events went so far as to take refuge in the British consulate. As a result, the crackdown only eliminated some small fish and shrimp, which is quite a bit of thunder and rain. Such a result is simply a slap in the face to Li Xiaofeng.
And the most infuriating thing is not here, but what is even more infuriating is that judging from various clues, some British diplomats are involved in these conspiracies, and some counter-revolutionaries are even picked up by the consulate car one step ahead of time.
Anyway, Li Xiaofeng was very annoyed at the time, but he still had to talk about the rules of the game, anyway, diplomatic embassies and consulates were protected by the Vienna Convention, and it was impossible to directly break in and arrest people, even if a certain immortal dared to do this, Lenin would not spare him. But if you don't retaliate, that's really not the style of a certain immortal.
"Do you want to incite the crowd to besiege the consulate?" Macvi immediately had a bad idea.
"Innocent!" Li Xiaofeng glanced at him angrily, and said, "Do you think that if you do this, the central government will not know that we did it?" And the British won't rest on their laurels, maybe they'll just wait for us to do it! We can't take action head-on, we must treat others in the way of others, and let them suffer dumb losses! ”
"Then I can't help it!" Mark Wei spread his hands, "People are hiding in the consulate, we can't do anything at all!" ”
Li Xiaofeng also knows that this matter is difficult to do, and now these people are hiding in the consulate, he really has no way, he uses official channels to find the British to ask for someone, and they will kick you back with a word of political asylum, what can you do?
"We have to find a way to force them out!" Li Xiaofeng touched his chin and said.
"How is this possible!" Mark Wei smiled bitterly, "This gang of goods is hiding in the whole family, how can you force it!" ”
How else to say that Li Xiaofeng has a lot of crooked tricks, he sneered: "I have a way!" ”
The next day, Li Xiaofeng took Macvey to the British Consulate General in Moscow, and after a long wait, they finally met the legendary Consul General Harson.
"Is there anything wrong with the two gentlemen?" Harson sat behind his desk, staring at Li Xiaofeng and Mackvey, neither saying hello nor inviting them to sit down, and his tone was clearly contemptuous and arrogant.
Li Xiaofeng naturally knows what this attitude is, obviously this is the other party's disadvantage to him, but how can this little means make him an immortal? He ignored the other party and directly found a sofa to sit down. Pose with Lao Tzu, put your sister!
"I don't think I asked you to sit down!" Harson quipped.
"I know the way!" Li Xiaofeng's face did not change and his heart did not beat, "The British have never known what politeness is, and for those who are not polite, they naturally don't have to be polite!" ”
However, as the consul general of a country, Harson is not a fuel-efficient lamp, and he immediately said: "How can the word politeness come out of your mouth, Mr. Andrew, so ironic?" ”
"That's right!" Li Xiaofeng said disapprerovingly, "I can hear the meaning of being ridiculed and sarcastic." It means that your skin is not too thick. And saved! ”
"You ......," Harson pursed his lips. Hold back the anger in his heart, he doesn't plan to talk to the other party on such trivial matters, it makes no sense, he knows the other party's intentions very well, and he has to play a good card. After taking a deep breath, he asked, "Did you come to me on business?" If you're just here to play tricks, I don't have time to accompany you! ”
Li Xiaofeng smiled and said: "I always thought that only the British were good at playing tricks, but I didn't expect it." You're an exception! ”
After touching the nail again, the fire in Harson's heart rose brightly, but he secretly warned himself that he must be calm and not follow the rhythm of the other party, took a deep breath, and asked in a muffled voice: "I repeat, I am very busy, if you have something to say, please leave immediately!" ”
"Two things!" Li Xiaofeng didn't bother to go around in circles, and said directly: "First." I would be grateful if you would immediately transfer to us a number of important prisoners who are wanted in our country......"
Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Harson with a sneer: "What if we don't pay?" ”
Li Xiaofeng was a little funny. He asked, "Don't you hear who these prisoners are?" ”
Harson was stunned, he was really anxious just now, no matter how he said it, he had to wait for the other party to say the name of the prisoner, and then refuse, and refuse directly without listening, quite a little bit of the meaning that there is no silver three hundred taels here.
However, since the mistake has been made, he has continued to make up for it, and directly refusing it can show his strength even more, and it will also be more slap in the face, he snorted and said: "There is no need for that." You Bolsheviks have never been wanted by criminals, you have always persecuted only those who speak the truth for freedom and democracy. And these noble qualities are what the British Empire has always advocated. My country will never agree to your unreasonable request! ”
After saying these words in one breath, Harson was so comfortable and happy, he thought that his words were enough to slap his face, and he couldn't wait to see the other party's expression, he believed that it must be very exciting.
It's really exciting, because Li Xiaofeng laughed out loud, and it seemed that he was ready to lie on the floor and roll around. I saw this thing holding his stomach and smiling at Mark Wei beside him: "This is the funniest joke I've ever heard, I finally know what it means to tell nonsense with my eyes open, and I won't blush when I lie...... No, I'm laughing to death......"
The green tendons on Harson's head burst out, he was so angry, just now his carefully constructed blow directly hit the air, not only did not achieve the purpose of ridiculing the other party, but was ridiculed by the other party. Especially the other party's unscrupulous laughter and exaggerated body language, which slapped him hard.
Immediately, the goods became angry: "Mr. Andrei, I warn you, you are an insult to the British Empire, do you want to cause a diplomatic dispute?" ”
Li Xiaofeng put away all his smiles and exaggerated movements in an instant, and asked solemnly: "An insult to the British Empire?" Diplomatic disputes? Mr. Harson, do you know the truth? This is called a thief shouting to catch a thief! The great number of criminals who have been sheltered by your country have committed crimes that are so serious that Russia's national security is at stake...... Your country's actions have seriously interfered in the internal affairs of our country, and this is a real insult! Even if there is a diplomatic dispute, it is you who provoked it first! Here I make a solemn warning and protest against the actions of your country! ”
Mark Wei was amazed by the change in Li Xiaofeng's expression in a short period of time just now, sometimes laughing and sometimes scolding, casually overpowering that Harson in momentum. To be honest, he wants to learn this kind of skill.
However, Harson is not a vegetarian, and he has to be thick-skinned to do diplomacy, and what is it to be scolded and ridiculed! Besides, if you don't get scolded by hostile countries for doing diplomacy, isn't that tantamount to betraying the country? So he was only stunned for a moment, and immediately returned to normal.
"I've already said it!" He impatiently stressed, "There are no prisoners in our country, only fighters who work for democracy and freedom......
Before he finished talking nonsense, Li Xiaofeng directly interrupted him: "There is no need to repeat those boring nonsense, I am not interested in listening to it." I just want to know whether your country agrees to hand over the prisoners to our country! ”
Harson became more and more impatient, and waved his hand: "I said it, there are no prisoners in our country, only ......"
Li Xiaofeng didn't bother to take care of this goods. sarcastically: "Isn't it hard for you to say no? There will always be a bunch of nonsense over and over again. Could it be that Mr. Consul, you have not yet learned your Russian home. I don't know if there is a word for rejection? ”
Harson was so angry that the muscles on his head were beating, and he just wanted to angrily reprimand the other party's unreasonableness, but Li Xiaofeng instructed Mark Wei to himself: "Give him the list of suspects, it's his business to refuse, we can do our job well!" ”
Mark Wei immediately took out a list from his briefcase and put it directly on Harson's desk, at which time Li Xiaofeng continued: "Now, I have handed over the list of suspects to your country. Whatever you want! But before that, the prisoners on the list are all heinous criminals, and our country has fulfilled its duty of warning, and if they commit any heinous crimes in your country, it has nothing to do with our country. Your country is responsible for all the consequences! ”
Harson sneered, he felt that someone was simply telling a joke, this group of people was for them, the two sides had a common interest base, how could they turn against their master. If the Russians can only use this kind of empty excuse to intimidate, it fully shows that the Russians have exhausted their donkey skills.
So he didn't even look at the list. He raised his chin and expressed his contempt and disdain with a very arrogant demeanor.
"The first thing has been said and done." Li Xiaofeng said to himself as if he hadn't seen this at all: "In view of the chaotic situation in Moscow recently, a series of vicious incidents have occurred. In order to protect the safety of the embassies and consulates of various countries, we, the Moscow Cheka and the workers' pickets, especially propose to you that the diplomats of your country should pay attention to their personal safety, and it is best not to go out casually, and even if they go out, it is best to apply to us in advance, and our country will provide close protection for the diplomats of your country! ”
Harson frowned, this proposal made him feel very insidious, although the embassies and consulates of various countries have diplomatic duties, but they are more on the task of espionage, and the most important thing in intelligence work is secrecy. If diplomats are closely protected or monitored, how can the work be carried out?
Harson would certainly not agree to this proposal, knowing that the situation in Russia was at its most tense, and his men were shouldered with heavy espionage work, and neither the rebellion nor the self-help against the Bolshevik forces could see the light of day.
However, Harson also heard the threatening meaning in Li Xiaofeng's words, and the subtext of the people is nothing more than to say, if you don't accept my protection, then your people are likely to have an accident, and after the accident, you don't want to complain, you deserve it!
"Are you threatening me?" Harson asked angrily.
Li Xiaofeng shrugged his shoulders and said sarcastically: "Where do I dare to threaten the Consul General of the British Empire, please Mr. Harson, don't misinterpret my good intentions." I am merely stating the fact that the public security situation in Moscow is quite serious, and a large number of criminals are rampant, and despite our best efforts, their activities are still rampant under the influence of some external forces. For example, the head of the Bolshevik Moscow Party Committee has already been assassinated more than once. In order to ensure the safety of your country's diplomats, we have no choice but to do so! ”
Harson gritted his teeth and asked, "What if our country does not accept this protection?" ”
Li Xiaofeng spread his hands and said: "Then I can only say that I am sorry, if the diplomats of your country do not accept protection, then all your actions can only be borne by yourself, and my country will not bear any responsibility!" ”
"You ......" Halson trembled with anger, if he couldn't hear this kind of red fruit threat, it would really be a pig.
He roared: "I strongly protest! ”
"What are you protesting against?" Li Xiaofeng smiled contemptuously, "My country has already provided the protection within our ability, if you refuse yourself, do you blame my country for not protecting it enough?" There is no such absurd truth in the whole world, right? ”
Harson wanted to say something, but Li Xiaofeng didn't bother to talk to him at all, and directly instructed Mark Wei: "Give our contact information and relevant notices to Mr. Harson." We just need to fulfill the obligation to inform, some people like to find death, and we can't stop it! ”
After saying this, a certain immortal walked away, so angry that Harson jumped to his feet in his office.
"What do we do next?" After leaving the British Consulate General, Mark Vimo asked with a fist.
"What else can I do?" Li Xiaofeng sneered, "Everything we should have notified has been notified, and then we will watch the show." As long as these goods don't apply and run out, come out and catch one by one! ”
Mark Wei swallowed and foamed, and the strength of someone surprised him again, but he still had doubts about it: "What if they apply?" ”
"How is that possible!" Li Xiaofeng smiled contemptuously, "What they have to do is not to see the light, how can they let us protect it." If they really apply, that's fine, let's protect it! When the time comes, there will be small stumbling blocks that will make them suffer a secret loss! ”
Mark Wei thought about it, with what he knew about someone, I was afraid that those little stumbling blocks were not so comfortable, but he had another worry, "What if these guys hide in the consulate as shrunken turtles and don't come out?" ”
"Not coming out?" Li Xiaofeng smiled and said: "That's not up to them, even if they don't carry out their normal work, they always have to eat, drink and Lazar, right?" (To be continued......)
