228 Persuasion (2)
There is no way, Li Xiaofeng would not come. As the saying goes, there is no diamond, but you can't take on porcelain work. In Li Xiaofeng's opinion, it's just a piece of cake.
When he pushed the door open, like all the primary school teachers in the Soviet Union, His Royal Highness Crown Prince Arikhei's house was also quite small. In the words of later generations, he had two bedrooms and one living room, and there was no kitchen or toilet, so the conditions were really not good.
Was the Soviet government too stingy and didn't even give a decent house to the former prince? Of course not. The Soviet Union did not lack one or two houses. If His Royal Highness could really make this prince a template, let alone an apartment, it would be a drizzle to set up a villa.
The only reason is that His Highness refused preferential treatment and strongly demanded that he be an ordinary citizen and make a living by his ability. Naturally, his conditions here are not very good.
However, Li Xiaofeng could still see that the royal life in the past had an impact on His Royal Highness. Although his home was small in size, it was arranged in an orderly manner, with a simple and warm feeling. It was very romantic anyway. Moreover, His Royal Highness himself was neatly tidy, with a neatly ironed suit, spotless leather shoes, and a obedient and greasy head shape.
Anyway, the first feeling that His Royal Highness gives you is at least an intellectual and a tasteful person. Unlike some old revolutionaries, the house at home is big enough and the decoration is luxurious enough, but it gives people a strange feeling of a nouveau riche.
It seems that the saying that only three generations can produce a nobleman is not fake. Just Prince Alexei can just poke it there, which is better than some old revolutionaries wearing gold and silver.
"Who are you?"
Prince Alexei had never seen a certain immortal, but he could see that the style of an immortal was absolutely small. At the most, he had to be the secretary of the municipal party committee or the secretary of the important leaders of the provincial party committee. During this period, many such "intellectuals" with prominent identities came. Now Alexei could roughly distinguish the general identity of a person at a glance.
But this time, Alexey was surprised because his guess was not accurate. The age of a certain immortal misled him.
"I am Andrei Petrovic Sbelosky..."
Although Arikshay did not know a certain immortal, he had definitely heard of the name of a certain immortal. Some time ago, someone's name was published in the newspaper. He personally went to the front line to fight against the Nazis and the fighting hero in the Battle of Bryansk.
As a young man (Arixey was born in 1904), Alexey also had a dream of heroism. When he was a child, when he was the crown prince, he was taught more than once to act as the guardian of Russia.
At that time, Alexei was full of heroic images, and he had fantasized about the moment he became a hero more than once. But the reality was cruel. Hemophilia ruined Alexei's dream of becoming a hero. This damn genetic disease made him not to mention saving the world, but even he had to be more careful in his daily life. A small small wound could kill his life.
Therefore, after the outbreak of the Patriotic War, even if the prince, who was not afraid of death, volunteered to join the army, it was ruthlessly rejected. Because everyone knew that letting him join the army was equivalent to murder.
If he cannot be a hero who saves the world, Alexey can only worship heroes. He feels admiration from the bottom of his heart for those heroes who come out of bullets and sea of corpses and blood.
So, the moment he recognized a certain immortal, the stubborn prince suddenly became excited. When he was busy inviting a certain immortal into the house, he almost tripped a dog to eat shit on his left foot.
I have to say that this gave Li Xiaofeng an advantage. As the idol of His Royal Highness, he could gain Alexei's favor from the beginning. Compared with other lobbyists, the starting point was different.
Of course, just starting a different starting point is not enough to convince this stubborn prince. When Alexey heard the purpose of a certain immortal, he immediately said: "Comrade Andre, I don't understand why you want me to inherit the dirty throne. As a true conscience, you should be very clear that our enemies are the evil exploiting class. And as the most shameless and ugly so-called royal family among the exploiting class for thousands of years, they are the enemies of our enemies. Our goal is to eliminate these ugly devils and create a completely equal new world. And now you actually suggest that I move closer to those devils... Comrade Andre, don't you know how much I hate them and how much I hope to break up with them forever and completely?"
Li Xiaofeng also had to admire Lenin. Trotsky and Derrensky's transformation of His Highness the prince was truly a purebred Bolshevik. Look at his expression, his tone was much more sincere from the bottom of his heart than some old revolutionaries. It was enough to make those old revolutionaries with nameless faces ashamed.
At this time, Alexey continued to shout: "You should not make such a low-level mistake like those people. I hope you can understand my feelings. I really don't want to go back to the kind of life I used to be!"
Li Xiaofeng smiled and said calmly: "What if I still suggest you accept the Norwegian throne?"
Alexey was surprised and screamed incredibly: "How is it possible, how can you be as superficial as those people? You...you are so disappointing to me!"
Li Xiaofeng was still very calm. He pressed his palm and signaled a prince to control his emotions. After he calmed down a little, he continued to say: "I suggest you accept the Norwegian throne for a reason..." While saying that, he made a gesture to the guards, indicating that they temporarily isolated the irrelevant people.
After no outsiders were interfering, he slowly said: "The Politburo unanimously prefers you to accept the throne of Norway. There is a reason. It is not that we do not understand your personal emotions. We know that this is painful for you. However, we think that your personal pain is minimal compared to the entire Norway."
If it weren't for Alexey, if someone else had heard the speech of a certain immortal, he would probably be furious. Damn, don't you say that I'm insignificant?
But Alexey didn't think so. He was already a hardcore Bolshevik fan and naturally accepted this statement. He also believed that the importance of his individuality must be less than that of all Norwegian people. In his own words, "Compared with the Norwegian proletariat, his personal likes and dislikes and feelings are not worth mentioning at all."
Even this guy likes the way a certain immortal speaks very much, compared to those who brag about how great, important, and amazing lobbyists he was when he came up. He thinks that a certain immortal is telling the truth and what a true Bolshevik should look like.
Li Xiaofeng knew that his words had worked, so he continued to say: "You should know that two-thirds of the territory is occupied by Nazi Germany and the people live in dire straits. At this time, British imperialists set their sights on Norway and supported and formed a bourgeois puppet government that was completely obedient to them. This puppet government is quite deceptive and confusing. It is very likely. After we defeat the Nazis, they will use this puppet regime to continue to enslave the Norwegian people, and even pull the innocent Norwegian people on their evil chariots to surround us. At that time, Norway will become a bridgehead for imperialism to kill the world revolution!"
Alexey was shocked, and this was exactly the effect Li Xiaofeng wanted to see. To deal with such angry young people who were stubborn, they had to hold their seven inches and lock them with a big hat, so that they could not regret it.
What's more, Alexei is not an ordinary angry young man. Those ordinary angry young man do not understand the truth. Instead, they deliberately pretend not to understand. Angry young man is just a cover for them. Angry young man like Alexei is a real angry young man who has no impurities. They believe in the theory they believe in and are willing to pay any price for the practice of this theory.
However, this kind of angry youth has a single-circuit brain, which is commonly known as the brain that cannot be turned around and can only think in a straight line. For example, Alexey asked, "What does this have to do with your request to me to inherit the Norwegian throne?"
Li Xiaofeng deliberately raised his face and pretended to be serious and said, "Comrade Alexey, don't you understand? The Politburo is not asking you to inherit the throne and live the corrupt and declining royal family life, but hopes that you will do your part to break the enemy's conspiracy. Now the Soviet people and the Norwegian people need your help!"
Although Alexei was still confused and didn't know what kind of help he could provide, he was still very happy about what a certain immortal said, especially the "comrade Alexei." This made him a little ecstatic. Why?
In the Soviet Union, not everyone can call him comrades, such as those counter-revolutionaries, such as those exploiting classes. If you call them comrades, it would be a serious political mistake. Although Alexey was neither a counter-revolutionary nor an exploiting class, his former royal family could not be a comrade of the Bolsheviks.
Therefore, in life, some call him Teacher Arikshay, and some call him Mr. Nineer, but no one calls him a comrade. For a loyal Marxist believer, it is undoubtedly painful to be unable to live an organizational life without the recognition of a comrade.
Arikshay envied those who could join the party more than once. He hoped that he would have the day to take the honor of the oath under the party flag. Of course, he also knew that this day might not be possible, so he settled for the second best, hoping that one day he could be called a comrade, and that would be very satisfied.
Undoubtedly, the sound of a certain immortal's "comrade" was even more comfortable than making a horse and killing chicken for Alexey. At that moment, His Royal Highness the Prince was like eating ginseng fruit, which was so comfortable and beautiful!
Yes, Alexey felt that even if he died immediately, his life would be worth it. I have to say that this is really a pitiful little person who is too easily satisfied.
Li Xiaofeng has been paying close attention to Alexey's expression. Obviously, this time he succeeded again. Uh, at least half of it has been successful. As long as he is not stupid, it will be no problem to take down this stupid prince.
Li Xiaofeng continued: "The Politburo hopes that you, Comrade Alexei, will shoulder this important task, and you will inherit the throne of Norway and form a truly enlightened, democratic and revolutionary new Norwegian government, and you and this new government will lead the Norwegian people to a better future. This is the fundamental reason why we ask you to inherit the throne of Norway!"
Alexey was moved, and he couldn't help but think, if he could do this, would it mean that he would become a true revolutionary and a great hero of the world revolution? At that moment, His Royal Highness's dream of heroism sprouted again, and it was out of control.
However, this does not mean that Alexey has no worries at all. He asked carefully: "But shouldn't a real revolutionary stay away from that kind of decayed life? As a revolutionary, how can I be like the exploiting classes that cannibalize people?"
Li Xiaofeng said in his heart: "I am convinced and tempted." But on the surface, he had to explain patiently: "In this world, people live in this world, some are lighter than feathers, and some are more important than mountain Tai. The difference is, what contributions do you make to this world? Fighting for the ideal of the great world revolution is more important than mountain Tai. To endure humiliation for the great world revolution is also more important than mountain Tai. But to shrink back for the minor details of personal reputation, only care about one's own feathers, regardless of the suffering of other proletarians, this is called lighter than feathers."
Speaking of this, Li Xiaofeng patted Alexey on the shoulder and asked, "My comrade, do you want to be more important than Mount Tai or less than a feather?"
Alexey stopped talking immediately, so Li Xiaofeng continued to persuade: "And letting you inherit the Norwegian throne does not mean that you can live a life of decay and decay! Even a king can be pure and simple, and can live with his own hands. Your actions will become a role model and a mirror. You can completely let the princes and nobles in Europe see how you, the king, support yourself. You will tell them with practical actions that they can also live with their own hands and become a glorious worker!"
Alexey's eyes suddenly opened wide. They became more energetic and even began to shine. Li Xiaofeng's words opened a new door for him, making his thinking suddenly clear.
He immediately said, "Comrade Andre, you said it too well and it's right. I cannot escape these responsibilities. I can completely transform the declining and corrupt royal family with practical actions and tell them how valuable it is to be a self-reliant worker! I am so sorry, I didn't realize this before. I didn't expect that my seemingly noble behavior is actually extremely selfish. I am willing to cooperate with the Politburo to work in Norway. Please give orders!"
Judging from Prince Alexei's attitude, he had the intention of finding an evil force to die with him. Li Xiaofeng was very satisfied with this effect. He smiled and replied: "Comrade Alexei, there is no order. The Politburo fully respects the personal ideas of each comrade. We have never planned to force you to do anything. Moreover, we think that you have always been a good comrade and will definitely be able to think clearly about this problem. The comrades who came before were just to help you figure out the essence of the problem faster. On such major issues, it is correct and appropriate to think fully. You don't need to apologize. As long as you work hard, it is enough!"
Prince Alexei was moved and kept shook hands with Li Xiaofeng, choking sobbing that he could hardly speak. Looking at this purebred Bolshevik prince, Li Xiaofeng also felt a little moved. For this prince who lacked recognition, a word of comrade or a word of praise was a huge surprise for him. Look at the so-called comrades in the party, don’t they feel ashamed?
Li Xiaofeng never lets honest people suffer losses, especially those honest people who work hard and have no high demands at all. They can satisfy their reasons within their ability and have a better conscience.
"Comrade Alexei, since the task you have to shoulder is very critical and dangerous, our conversation today is the highest secret. The organization requires you not to disclose these conversations to anyone else. Of course, before you start this task, the organization also wants to know what other requirements you have or what difficulties you have to help you solve?"
In fact, Li Xiaofeng's first half of the words are nonsense, and it's all that is true whether the package is kept secret. The reason why he said this was to make Alexei feel that he was very important and very important, and he led the second half as a prelude. To put it bluntly, he deliberately gave Alexei a chance to make a wish.
But what Li Xiaofeng did not expect was that Alexey shook his head: "Comrade Andre, the organization has been very nice to me, I have no difficulties or requirements."
Li Xiaofeng was speechless. Is this too honest? Who would give up the opportunity to make a wish to the Politburo member? In normal times, if he spoke, the person who was rushing to make a wish would probably break his head.
Li Xiaofeng felt that the prince was cute, so he said again: "Comrade Alexey, don't have any doubts, you can make any requests. This is the collective opinion of the organization and also to enable you to better carry out work in Norway. This is definitely not favoritism!"
Arixie really has no requirements. Since he became a believer of Marxism, he has been very indifferent to material enjoyment. He is no longer interested in those. Moreover, he has felt that life and material conditions are good now, and he does not think there is any need for improvement at all.
But Li Xiaofeng was too enthusiastic, and seeing that attitude was necessary to solve some difficulties for him, Alexey was really hard to refuse. After thinking for a long time, his eyes suddenly lit up. There was a question he had not gotten answers for a long time. Why not ask when taking this opportunity?
Alexey mustered up the courage and asked hesitantly: "Comrade Andre, I only have one question. I want to know: Why is my application for joining the party always rejected?" (To be continued)
ps: Sorry, I was delayed in the morning.
Bow to thank vinyi, the waste man, Admiral Hood, hakli, comrade Juventus!
