Since the beginning of October, the political situation in Russia has become more and more bizarre, the Maria Palace, the seat of the Reserve Congress, has been extremely noisy every day, and the Mensheviks, the Social Revolutionaries, and the Cadets have made countless noises one after another, and they have frantically attacked the Bolsheviks, the garrisons in Petrograd, and the workers who participated in the marches. They are like a pack of mad dogs, catching whoever bites, except, of course, the owner who holds the dog's chain.

In fact, the life of the dog owner is not easy, since there is a stalemate on all fronts, no one can help anyone, the British are abused to death by the unlimited submarine warfare of the Germans, the French have nothing to do with the German devils on land, and from time to time Paris will be hit by a few shells. And the Americans, although they entered the war, could not play an immediate role in a hurry, and when the American soldiers landed on the European continent and played a role, they had to wait until 1918.

In this situation, the only thing that could change dramatically in the European theater was on the Eastern Front, and the Russians with civil strife gave the Germans, who were also exhausted, a glimmer of hope for victory. If we can find a way to get Russia out of the war, then Germany and Austria can be liberated from the quagmire of fighting on two fronts at once, and when the time comes, they will move westward and deal with the French before the American GIs arrive on the European continent, then the overall situation can be determined.

"Last time, what happened to the attack on the British Embassy?"

In a sturdy and inconspicuous farmhouse on the outskirts of Petrograd, a bearded man with a monocle entertains his guests.

A plate of fried french fries, a plate of mashed potatoes, a small plate of smoked sausages, and two bottles of dark beer, that's all there is to it.

The guest, a middle-aged man with a French-style figure-eight beard and a thick wax on his hair, wiped his mouth with an elegant napkin: "According to the information I received, it shouldn't have been done by the Swedes?" ”

"Not a Swede?" The bearded owner was obviously stunned, and asked rhetorically: "Didn't the witnesses already recognize the photo of Prince Henry?" ”

"Yes," the mustache continued to gracefully fork a slice of smoked sausage. Chew slowly. "But according to my analysis, combined with the information obtained during this period of time, Prince Henry's role in this incident is passive, and there is a rather powerful force behind him!"

"Oh?" The bearded man put down his knife and fork in surprise and took a sip of beer, "Which side of the power, British." French, or American? ”

"Neither!" The mustache shook his head, took out a photo from his jacket pocket and handed it to the beard, "Do you know this person?" ”

"A little kid?" The bearded man put on his monocle and frowned after glancing at it. "How could I possibly know this kind of furry child!"

The mustache took a sip of wine elegantly and said slowly: "He's not a hairy child!" A hairy boy can organize and plan an attack on the British Embassy, and the British can suffer such a big loss? ”

"And where did he come from?" The bearded man asked.

"I don't know what to do!" The mustache sighed, "At that time, my intelligence officer only had time to take this photo, and as for who he was and who he served, there was no way to find out!" ”

The bearded man suddenly asked, "Could it be those false monks of the Orthodox Church?" ”

"How do you think it's them?" The mustache asked angrily. "Do you think those fake monks will rebel against the British?"

The bearded man shook his head: "Of course it can't be. They all want to lick the stinky feet of the British! ”

Speaking of which, both the bearded and the mustache fell silent again. The two of them ate and drank silently, until a middle-aged man in a suit walked into the restaurant and handed an envelope to the bearded man respectfully.

"A telegram from home, father."

The telegram from home was a more subtle way of saying that the owner, guest, and servant of the farm were in fact German spies. The telegram from home was actually a cipher telegram from Berlin.

The bearded man opened the envelope and glanced at it, and handed the note directly to the mustache, "At home, let's support the Bolsheviks and let them make more trouble for the Russian Provisional Government." ”

The mustache shook his head and put down the telegram, "This is tricky, according to the information I have received, the British and the French will join the Russians in a secret operation aimed at eradicating the core of the Bolshevik leadership...... With our current strength, I'm afraid ......"

"I know the way!" The bearded man knocked on the table irritably, "But this is the instruction of His Majesty, for the sake of the Empire, we must complete the task!" ”

The mustache seemed to be thinking about something, and absentmindedly replied, "Yes! ”

"Don't just say yes, do you have any plans!" The bearded man urged with some dissatisfaction.

"Sorry, I got distracted." The mustache nodded at the photo on the table, "I'm still wondering where this guy in the photo is sacred!" ”

"Leave him alone," the bearded man grew impatient, "the most important thing for us is to get the job done, and not to waste our energy on other trivial matters!" ”

The mustache smiled slightly and put forward a different opinion: "I think this guy is not simple, just from the fact that he dares to attack the British Embassy, it shows that he is definitely a ruthless character...... If he doesn't deal with the British, we can try to draw him over to us! ”

"It doesn't make much sense," the bearded man frowned, "and we don't know who he is!" ”

"That...... Father ......"

The polite middle-aged man seemed to want to say something, but the bearded man didn't give him a chance to speak at all, and directly reprimanded: "Didn't you see me and your uncle discussing business?" Here's where you interject? ”

The middle-aged man quickly closed his mouth and took two steps back, but it could be seen from his expression that he was not convinced by this reprimand.

The mustache was not as domineering as the beard, and asked with a pleasant face, "Dear nephew, what do you want to say?" ”

The middle-aged man glanced at the bearded man and seemed to be very afraid of his father, at least the bearded man scolded him: "If you have something to say, let it go!" ”

The young man swallowed, pointed to the photo on the dining table with some nervousness, and said, "Actually...... This person, I know! ”

"You know?" The mustache and the bearded man exclaimed in unison, and immediately asked, "Say, who is he!" ”

The middle-aged man was taken aback, he had never seen his father and uncle so excited, and stammered, "He...... His name is Andrey. Petrovich, a student at my university......"

Hearing this, the bearded man suddenly snorted again. Disdainfully: "College students? Are you kidding! You bullshit foreign language majors don't have two decent talents at all. It's all a group of boys...... You've definitely mistaken someone! ”

"I'm absolutely not mistaken!" The middle-aged man was not convinced, pointed to the photo and swore it: "This is definitely Andre!" I know him all too well! ”

"You're still raising the bar with me!" The bearded man suddenly became angry, raised his hand and was about to teach his son a lesson, but the mustache quickly grabbed him and persuaded: "Don't get excited, maybe, he didn't admit his mistake?" ”

"How is that possible!" The bearded man shook his head suddenly. "The Andre he said, I have the impression that the kid looks like a wreck, cowering like a mother. How could it be the person you're looking for! ”

"As long as there is a clue, I will not give up!" The mustache said firmly, "Tell me about this Andre well." Where can I find him? ”

Li Xiaofeng didn't know what to do, at this time, he had been targeted by German spies, and he didn't know that he had studied under German spies. At this time, he was completely immersed in the preparations before the armed uprising.

"Vasily, inform the Red Eagle Regiment and get them ready for battle!"

"Vasily. Let the comrades of Tekko closely follow the movements of the Provisional Government. What meetings they had and what issues they discussed. Report it all to me! ”

"What, another enemy spy has been discovered? Do you want to ask me for such a trivial matter? Just let Comrade Georgy deal with it! ”

From morning to night, Li Xiaofeng read documents and gave instructions almost all the time, and he couldn't rest until late at night.

"Someone wants to see me?" Li Xiaofeng snorted angrily, "Don't you see that I still have a lot of documents to deal with?" ”

Vasily replied weakly: "Comrade Andrei, it is Miss Victoria who wants to see you, you said, no matter how busy you are......"

Li Xiaofeng patted his head, he finally remembered that he had an agreement with Victoria before, and when she made the most difficult decision, the two sides had to meet once, and if they could continue to cooperate, they would discuss the details, and if there was no need for cooperation, they would get together and disperse.

"Please let her in!" Li Xiaofeng commanded lightly. In fact, he was also a little curious about what choice Victoria would make.

"Your kid's spectrum is big enough, I have to make an appointment to see you!"

What makes Li Xiaofeng strange is that the first person to walk into his office is not the expected Victoria, but the playboy Erickson.

Li Xiaofeng asked strangely, "Why are you?" What about Victoria? ”

"I'll be here soon, waiting for Henry!" Erikson said whimsily.

"You're here in a group?" Li Xiaofeng smiled, "What, did you make a decision?" I can tell you, after this village, there will be no such shop! ”

While he was talking, Victoria and Henry came together, and Henry seemed to be in good spirits on happy occasions, and his face was smiling like a flower.

"What's the good thing? So happy? ”

Henry grinned and sat down on a stool, ignoring that one of the ladies was standing, and he said with a little excitement: "The Germans who have tried methamphetamine are very satisfied with the effect of the potion, and they can't wait to order a large batch!" ”

"Slow down!" Li Xiaofeng quickly interrupted him, "I don't have any interest in the effects of methamphetamine. I'm interested in just your choice! ”

Henry, Eriksen and Victoria glanced at each other, and then Henry spoke: "Andrey, do you dare to guarantee that the Bolsheviks will come to power?" ”

Li Xiaofeng shook his head and asked rhetorically, "What's the point of my guarantee?" ”

"Of course it makes sense!" Henry couldn't wait to say, "I saw your power last time, if you can make a guarantee, then we can take a reassuring pill!" ”

Li Xiaofeng snorted, spread his hands and said, "Okay, I promise." The Bolsheviks will not be able to stop coming to power, so you are satisfied? ”

Henry nodded repeatedly, "Since you have this kind of confidence, then I'll gamble with you!" ”

"Take a gamble?" Li Xiaofeng was a little puzzled, and asked rhetorically: "What are you betting on?" How to bet? ”

Henry said triumphantly: "Let's make a big bet on the Bolsheviks, and if they can win, it will be ......."

"Slow down, slow down!" Li Xiaofeng hurriedly stopped this guy who was a little confused, "Place a heavy bet? How do you place a heavy bet? ”

Henry rightly said: "Didn't the Bolsheviks want to seize power?" Then I will support them in seizing power and ask for money for money. Ask for supplies for supplies. As long as they can succeed, then can't they give back to me tenfold and hundredfold? ”

For Henry, who had already thought about it, Li Xiaofeng was directly speechless, this thing didn't understand any fart at all, and he wanted to participate blindly. He turned to Victoria and Erikson and asked, "Didn't you explain to him the political ideas of the Bolsheviks?" ”

Victoria sighed: "I was introduced, but he didn't listen to it at all." ”

"Of course I won't listen!" Henry rightly said, "I don't dare to have any political ideas from the Bolsheviks." All I know is that you will not lose money by betting on a party that is not favored but is very likely to control Russia! ”

That's true, but Henry had no idea what the Bolsheviks would look like to the capitalists, especially the big ones with the old royal blood. The current approach of this thing is simply to stick its face out and let people smoke.

"Don't fool around!" Li Xiaofeng angrily reprimanded him. "The idea is good, but your calculation is too naïve!"

"How can you be naïve? I've calculated ......"

Li Xiaofeng rubbed his temples and scolded angrily: "Shut up! Your calculations are meaningless! Because without your support, the Bolsheviks could have seized power with certainty. Do you think those calculations make sense in this situation? ”

Henry was nothing, but Eriksen was taken aback by Li Xiaofeng's words, pushed Henry away, and couldn't wait to ask: "You mean that the Bolsheviks are ready now?" ”

"I'll tell you the truth!" Li Xiaofeng didn't bother to hide it. "The Kerensky government will not exist for a few days!"

"Why didn't you kid tell me earlier!" Erikson was in a hurry. "Didn't you say last time there was still some time?"

Li Xiaofeng replied indifferently: "Then I can tell you now, that period of time has passed!" ”

Erikson's face turned white. Just looking at his expression, Li Xiaofeng knew that this kid had not been able to persuade his uncle to transfer his property. Immediately gloated and smiled: "It seems that your son-in-law career will end soon, right?" ”

Erikson was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, walking back and forth for a long time before asking, "Can't you slow down?" ”

"Hold off?" Li Xiaofeng laughed dryly, "The arrow has to be sent on the string, you won't understand this truth, right?" ”

Erikson exclaimed angrily: "Believe it or not, I will immediately leak the news of your seizure of power in the newspapers, and at that time, see if you are slow!" ”

"Hehe, you leaked it," Li Xiaofeng sneered, "I'm afraid you kid never read the newspaper, right?" Didn't buy a copy of the "New Life Newspaper" on the eighteenth to take a look? ”

Erikson was taken aback and asked, "What did it say?" ”

Li Xiaofeng shook his head and said: "Kamenev and Zinoviev, former alternate members of the Central Committee of the Bolsheviks, have leaked the plans for an armed uprising. Even if you kid rip your throat and hype it up now, no one else will make the news! ”

Before Eriksen could speak, Victoria exclaimed, "Is that news true?" ”

Li Xiaofeng looked at her with a smile, and the answer was naturally self-evident. Suddenly, Victoria also went crazy and screamed, "I thought it was fake news!" I can't imagine that it is true, and your party will allow such confidential information to be leaked? ”

Henry also interjected: "If this is true, I have to say that your uprising is childish...... I'm afraid I'm going to take back the idea of taking a big gamble! ”

Li Xiaofeng glanced at them contemptuously and sneered: "What do you know? Now the million-strong army around Petrograd and Moscow is under the control of our party. Kerensky and his cabinet are nothing more than a turtle in an urn, what if the news of the uprising leaks out, what waves can he make! ”

Li Xiaofeng's self-confidence greatly shocked them, they looked at each other, the shock in their hearts was already incomprehensible, if the situation was really as Li Xiaofeng said, the Bolsheviks overthrew Kerensky's cabinet is indeed a breeze.

"Looks like our family's oil industry is finished!" Erikson sat down in his chair and said in a somewhat dejected voice.

Henry looked at the frustrated Erikson, his mouth moved, but he didn't know how to comfort him. However, Victoria commented very unceremoniously: "Then you can only blame your uncle for being too stubborn, with the current situation in Russia, you should have made a few plans earlier!" ”

Li Xiaofeng looked at her with a smile and asked, "So, your family's property has been transferred?" ”

"Everything that can be transferred has been transferred, that is, some properties and land cannot be sold in a short time, if only you could notify me earlier!" Victoria said with some regret.

In this regard, Li Xiaofeng shrugged his shoulders indifferently, and said in his heart: It's enough to be able to inform you, and I want to pick and choose.

"It's not going to work!" Erickson, who was crying with a sad face, suddenly jumped up, gritted his teeth and roared at Li Xiaofeng: "Andre, you are not righteous either, you must make up for the loss of our family!" ”

Shrimp? Li Xiaofeng thought that there was something wrong with his ears, Lao Tzu sold you a favor, and he didn't read it well, but he beat it up, you kid want to die? (To be continued.) )
