133 The Big Flicker**
Mannerheim walked away suspiciously, and it could be seen that he didn't believe Li Xiaofeng's words too much. But then again, if it were Li Xiaofeng, he wouldn't believe the words of a little kid. And Li Xiaofeng didn't plan to convince Mannerheim at one time, he was not a mix, he didn't have the aura of the legendary protagonist, and it was impossible to submit domineeringly and leaky like Mannerheim as a little brother.
It's not just a matter of ability, it's also about age. If Mannerheim is now a little kid about the same age as Li Xiaofeng, Li Xiaofeng can consider accepting his younger brother, but Lao Man is dozens of years older than him, and he can be regarded as a character of his grandfather's generation, and he wants people to bow down, so what, it's better to wash and sleep early! At least Lao Man didn't have such a thick skin.
Li Xiaofeng never planned to accept Mannerheim as his younger brother, thinking that when Lao Man had the honor of the founding father after Finland's independence, but after failing to run for president, he immediately returned to the garden, which shows the strength of this person's temperament. Therefore, characters like Lao Man can only cooperate, maintain a relationship of equality and friendship, and everyone can trade fairly and reasonably, and each takes what he needs.
Of course, it was not easy to gain Mannerheim's friendship, especially with a certain immortal, whose Bolshevik status made things even more difficult. On the contrary, after Finland's independence, Lao Man was the commander-in-chief of the Finnish White Guards in the civil war, and he did the work of exterminating the Red Bandits, and he had a lot of Bolshevik blood on his hands.
Making friends with cats and mice is not ordinarily difficult for Li Xiaofeng, and his only advantage is to understand Lao Man's temperament, and he knows that this old man is a full nationalist, and he is a rare sober person in Finland. Although he did not like the Bolsheviks, he was also interested in the massacres of the anti-Finnish White Army, and he did not have a good impression of Russia and the Soviet Union, even hatred, but he would not be blinded by hatred. In order to defend his homeland, he can fight bloody battles with the enemy, but he will not fill this hole with human life, and he will compromise and back down when necessary.
As a fart who travels through the crowd and a harmonious country, when Li Xiaofeng was still a mortal, he was very angry. In his eyes, there is only black and white, good and evil, and he thinks that it is incredible that a person like Mannerheim can be regarded as a national hero in Finland, and it is really not a glorious thing to cede land and seek peace. If it is a harmonious country, I am afraid that Mannerheim will be the next Li Zhongtang, and the hat of a traitor will be worn, let alone admired by thousands of people.
But now, after three lifetimes, Li Xiaofeng has become a thorough realist, the direction of looking at the problem has changed, and anyone in Mannerheim's position may not be able to do better than him, although he has paid a heavy price, but after all, he still maintains the independence and autonomy of Finland, and reduces the fearless bloodshed. Even the country he single-handedly created was a thousand times stronger than its neighbors, and it was stable and existed for a longer time.
It's not easy to do something as a politician, at least not a lot of people. In World War II, Hitler spared no effort to win over Lao Man, and even personally participated in his 70th birthday, but Lao Man was just not interested in mustaches and Nazis, and he was just a hypocrisy.
Li Xiaofeng's goal is to be a person similar to Lao Man, although this guy's desire for power is stronger and his actions are more unscrupulous, but he is not without a bottom line. At least he had no good feelings for Kamenev, Zinoviev and Stalin, and resolutely refused to move closer to them. Doing so would have made him climb faster, but he just wasn't happy.
If an immortal is unhappy, no one can force him to do anything. In the same way, if an immortal is happy and smooth, the motivation to do things is infinitely sufficient. For example, flirting with Mannerheim and trying his best to get in touch with Lao Man, he loves to do this, and he is happy to do it very happily and with a sense of accomplishment. …,
Where does the sense of accomplishment come from? It's very simple, don't look at Li Xiaofeng just now, he is very clever and wise, like a prophet, chattering and selling off. But piercing that layer of window paper, what someone said was all clichés, useless at all, and simply fooling the little white Mannerheim, who knew nothing about history.
Why? Is it difficult for Finland to want independence? It seems that those who are familiar with history know that with the uproar of the February Revolution, Tsarist Russia completely collapsed, and the ruling power and execution of the nascent Provisional Government were greatly reduced, and the Provisional Government could not control the million-strong army of Russia, and at the same time took all the parties in Petrograd as if it were unleashing farts, and these farts still smelled like skunks, and everyone hated them.
In this case, the collapse and reorganization of Russia was also inevitable, and the Finns did not need to ask for anything from the Provisional Government, and when the time came, independence would be a matter of course. As for the will quality that a certain immortal is talking about, what is that, it is simply pretending to be 13 and fooling.
To put it bluntly, the Russian tree is scattered, and the Finnish fox has two hearts, and there are no particularly scarce resources or skills, unlike Iraq and Iran in later generations, with a cornucopia in their arms, how not to make Uncle Sam covetous, at least the polar bear is not looking down on a few broken drops in Finland, the only thing is that it can't get over the face.
Fortunately, the polar bear has thick skin, and if it is disgraced, it will be lost, and the later generations will disintegrate more completely, and I have not seen the Russian hairy people looking for death and living to hang themselves into the river. Therefore, Finland's independence coincided with its meeting and came naturally, and the only thing that made him have a dirty relationship with the woolly bear was the border, but a certain immortal already had a preliminary solution to this, if he could have a good relationship with Mannerheim, and then operate properly, then it was not impossible for Finland to achieve a win-win situation with the woolly bear.
Of course, these are all afterwords, and it's not interesting to say it early. As long as it is clear, for the independence of Finland, a certain immortal raised his hands in favor, for what? It's good for him! If he were to pay out of his pocket to build a factory, the Bolsheviks after the October Revolution would receive the fruits of victory.
A certain immortal does not have much consciousness, future planning, future happy life, all hope is in this industry. So he planned to build his own industry in Finland in order to circumvent Russia's nationalization policy. Moreover, Finland's proximity to Russia made it convenient for him to support Russia's construction and build up its domestic power. If he could, he would even like to turn Finland into Russia's Hong Kong.
The aspirations are very ambitious, but there are also many problems, the first is the Finnish civil war, which is funny to say, Finland's independence is a matter of course, but after finally independence, the people of this country are fighting over how to build their own homes. The bourgeois White Army, supported by Britain, France, Sweden, and Norway, and the working-class Red Guards, influenced by the Soviet Revolution, fought in a bloody massacre that almost destroyed the nascent country.
This is what Li Xiaofeng fears the most, which is also the main reason why he is hiding Finland's independence in front of Mannerheim, and even instilling the idea that independence is difficult and dangerous to the other side. He wanted to avoid the infighting and the Holocaust, after all, he had only twenty years left to win the First World War, during which time he had to prepare for the bloodier and more brutal Second World War, and a healthy and stable Finland was a good fit for him.
Of course, a certain immortal did not have the arrogance of thinking that the Finnish Civil War could be avoided altogether, which greatly weakened the power of the European bourgeoisie and allowed the proletarian revolution to spread. He eliminated the hatred and antagonism between classes with his personal strength, and he was not arrogant to such an extent. Even if he is an immortal, he can't do it, don't you see that for thousands of years, there are so many wars, there are almost no wars for a few years, which immortal has stopped it? The greed and hatred of human beings, Da Luo Jin Immortal can't be even, and a half-immortal the size of a sesame mung bean will not do such a thankless thing. …,
Besides, if we don't go to war, we don't know the preciousness of peace, and if we don't shed blood, we don't know the preciousness of life, and if we let a large part of the militants hang up, the world will be much more peaceful. Life is in motion, and it is in the interest of an immortal to make Finland fully sporty.
An evil immortal unwittingly planned the fate of Finland, and even had a preliminary impact on Mannerheim's fate. The future president of Finland and the national hero has been weakened by the mystery of a certain immortal at this time, and he is guessing what ulterior secrets a certain immortal has.
As for the two prophecies, Mannerheim was prepared for the first, and with his knowledge of the Russian political bigwigs, this possibility absolutely existed, and as for the second, he was not convinced, although the Provisional Government was not very good at the level of governance, but with the support of both the Soviets and the Duma, it should not fall so quickly. It is estimated that someone is making a false and alarmist ......
However, Mannerheim definitely did not expect that Li Xiaofeng had crossed over, nor did he expect that the first crisis of the provisional government was imminent, and he did not expect that it was the foreign minister of the provisional government who triggered this crisis. If he had known about the foreign minister's pig-like political methods, I am afraid that he would not have thought that someone was alarmist so easily.
But all this hasn't happened after all, so in the next part of the journey, Mannerheim's attitude towards a certain immortal has changed a little, and he feels that someone has no real ability, so he is deliberately alienated from Li Xiaofeng, even if he meets in the carriage, it is just a lukewarm greeting, far less enthusiastic than when they first met.
Dzerzhinsky was a little surprised by this change, but he saw the enthusiasm of Mannerheim at the beginning, and after a few hours, the change was so obvious? The Man in the Iron Mask was also curious, and he asked, "What's the matter with you and this gentleman?" Who the hell is he? ”
Li Xiaofeng smiled slightly: "I just have a little political disagreement with him, he is the kind of person who is very old-fashioned and serious, so he is very cold to me...... As for who he is......"
A certain immortal's evil taste came up again, and he decided to tease Dzerzhinsky: "If I tell you that this gentleman will be the future president and field marshal of Finland, would you believe it?" ”
