The Mariinsky Theater is a symbol of Russian culture. It was built in 1783. Ekaterina II had instructed the first batch of Russian comedy, opera and the best works of foreign composers onto the stage. The theater is located on the former site of a circus performance opposite the Grand Theater in Carosel Square in St. Petersburg.

The theater designed by the architect Kavosky officially started to be opened in 1860 and was named after Mary, the wife of the ruling Tsar Alexander II. Later, it was called the National Academic Theater for a while. Later, with the assassination of Stalin's best friend Kirov, the theater was changed to Kirov Theater. It was not until the Soviet Union was finished that it was restored to its original royal title.

On the last ten days of June of each year, the White Nights Festival will kick off in Petrograd, and the Mariinsky Theater is the well-deserved core of this musical event. Even if the tide of the highest tide is unstoppable, in the Mariinsky Theater, everyone can only follow the command of the chief conductor Edward Nepravnik.

Edward Neplavnik, a Czech-born conductor in 1869, served as chief conductor at the Mariinsky Theater for 47 years until his death. During this period, he directed almost every premiere held at the Mariinsky Theater and made it the most important opera house in the world.

At that time, enjoying the performances of Edward Nepravnik, Chariabin, Baphrova and Niginsky at the White Night Music Festival was one of the most luxurious enjoyments in the upper class.

However, for Li Xiaofeng, he was not interested in whether it was the glorious history of the Mariinsky Theater, the conductor of Edward Nepravnik, or the singing of Chariabin - although now, he was invited to enjoy the performance at this famous theater.

As a modern man cultivated by popular music, Hollywood movies and computer games, Li Xiaofeng has no interest in drama, ballet, opera, and other forms of classical art, whether Eastern or Western. The reason why he went to the Mariinsky Theater was entirely because of Yakov's invitation.

Why did Yakov invite a fairy to see a very boring ballet performance? Perhaps he fell in love with the reputation of the Mariinsky Theater. As an underground worker who cannot be exposed, it is a very serious matter to deal with superiors in a safe occasion.

Think about it, a high-end public place like the Mariinsky Theater is perfect for two people who need to pretend to have nothing to do with secret talks: safe, secret, and not easy to attract attention.

Li Xiaofeng and Yakov walked into the same theater, enjoyed the same performance, and sat together very much. What's even more, even if someone followed them, and the stalkers were extremely lucky to buy tickets for the concert, their chances of getting close to the two were very small, and under the influence of music, they couldn't figure out what they were talking about. What's more, Princess Anne had a high-end private room 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 private room slowly after the ballet opened.

"You are late, Mr. Andrei Peterlovich." Natalia, who leaned out of the box and was concentrating on her dancing, said without looking back.

Li Xiaofeng sat down on the sofa, frowned and asked, "Why are you? Isn't your brother looking for me?"

Natalia still didn't look back, and it could be seen that the girl was very interested in the performance on the stage. She replied casually in response to someone's questioning: "It's inconvenient for him to come forward!"

"What's inconvenient?" Li Xiaofeng slid his ears and said impatiently: "He really treats himself as a character? Also, Miss Natalia, even if he is inconvenient, there is no need for us to meet here. 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 enjoy Nikinsky's wonderful performance at the White Night Music Festival." Natalia replied seriously, "As for the rest, it's just a coincidence."

Li Xiaofeng was speechless. He knew that the girl in front of him was a hardcore ballet fan, and she even ran a ballet troupe selling dog meat with the title of sheep. Nowadays, Nikinsky's performance is hard to come by, and only under the guise of meeting can she enjoy Nikinsky's performance in Princess Anne's high-end private room.

"Then let's talk about it quickly." Li Xiaofeng said angrily, "I have no interest in ballet. I'll finish what I want to say quickly, so I can leave this ghost place quickly."

"You are so vulgar, without any artistic cells!" Natalia replied.

Li Xiaofeng shrugged: "Whatever you say!"

After the greetings, the two of them entered a state of silence. Natalia had no intention of getting to the topic at all. A poor, thick-eyed eye stared at the actor dancing on the stage, and listened to the orchestra's lyrical music playing with his ears, and felt boring. Although the orchestra conductors were so rhythmic, the orchestra members played so exquisitely and outstandingly, the ballet dancers even made all their efforts to jump around on the stage.

Li Xiaofeng really couldn't appreciate all this. Even if the audience around him were already addicted to it, many old men had already started to shake their heads - so a few minutes later, Li Xiaofeng decided to end all this.

A certain immortal stood up without hesitation and was about to turn his head and leave. You do whatever you want, I won’t suffer this anymore!

Natalia, who was concentrating on appreciating the performance, sighed: "I really don't have any patience. It's a waste of talent to talk about boring things in such a wonderful performance!"

Speaking of this, Natalia sighed again: "There are three things in total!"

Li Xiaofeng grinned and said, "I can't cure you anymore." He sat on the sofa with a big golden knife and asked arrogantly, "What three things?"

"First, on June 6 (Russian calendar time, the Gregorian calendar is June 19), your Bolshevik leader Lenin convened an enlarged meeting of the Central Committee at the Kshesskaya Palace. In addition to your Central Committee members, they also included representatives of the Petrograd Commission and military organizations..."

Li Xiaofeng raised his ears. Since he was recuperating at home, he has been marginalized within the party. He has nowhere to inquire about the specific contents of the enlarged meeting of the Central Committee, and can only rely on Yakov's intelligence network to obtain information. However, Yakov is indeed powerful. He can know the content of such a secret meeting, and he does not know how he did it.

"Tell me the specific content!" Li Xiaofeng urged anxiously.

Natalia pretended not to hear it, just stared at the performance on the stage and shook her head. Now Li Xiaofeng was anxious and had to give in to the trail: "Okay, if you have something to say, at worst, I can give you a full set of tickets for the music festival, so that you can see enough at one time!"

"This is almost the same!" Natalia smiled slightly. She finally won a game back, thinking that no matter how arrogant you are, your aunt will have a way to cure you!

"Podvoiski, the representative of your military power, reported that five days ago your supporters in the army were very impatient, and they hope that your Party Central Committee could launch a demonstration against the surrendered surrenders in the Central Committee of the Soviet Union, put more pressure on these surrender factions to abandon their original positions."

Li Xiaofeng sucked his teeth, and the news was quite consistent with history. At the first National Congress of the Soviet Union (a bad noun) that opened on June 3 (June 16), there were a total of 1,090 representatives, 822 people with voting rights, of which the Bolsheviks accounted for 105 seats, the Mensheviks 248 seats, and the Socialist Party 285.

At the conference, Lenin strongly criticized the national-protecting stance of the Mensheviks and the Socialist Party and submitted a case of distrust of the coalition government, saying that the first provisional government was a pure imperialist government, and the second coalition government was a disguised imperialist government with the participation of the minister of "socialism". Lenin demanded that all the government's rights be taken to the Soviets of the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers.

As I said just now, in the Soviet Union, there are only a pitiful 105 seats, so Lenin's proposal was unanimously rejected by the Mensheviks and the Socialist Party. Even the Congress passed a resolution of the Menshevik centrist Donn to support the coalition government.

Of course, Lenin would not just give in, so he immediately delivered a speech on war and peace, revealing the hypocritical faces of the Mensheviks and the Socialist Party calling on the people of the German and Austrian allies not to give kings, capitalists, landlords and bankers to act as tools for aggression and oppression, and on the other hand, he supported the capitalists, landlords and bankers in their country to engage in imperialist wars.

In his speech, Lenin passionately declared that the only way out of this war was to overthrow the bourgeois regime in his country, and everything else was just false lies and self-deception.

It is conceivable that such a statement would certainly not be accepted by the Mensheviks and the right party of the Social Party, so Lenin's proposal was once again vetoed. The final resolution on the issue of war passed by the Congress, which stated that the issue of front-line offensives (English and France demanded that ** strengthen the offensive against Turkey and Germany to ease their pressure on the front line, and the Provisional Government agreed to this requirement), should be resolved only from a purely strategic point of view. In other words, the core of the problem is not to agree or oppose the offensive, but to recognize that the Provisional Government can have the right to launch an offensive at any time.

It should be said that Lenin and his Bolsheviks did not gain any advantage at this meeting. Among the last elected Central Executive Committee, the Bolsheviks had only 35 seats, while the Mensheviks and the Socialist Party had 104 seats and 99 seats respectively, and the disadvantage was very obvious.

Faced with this situation, Lenin certainly would not be left alone, which led to the enlarged meeting of the Bolshevik Central Committee. At the enlarged meeting, Lenin fully agreed with Podvoysky's request and decided to hold a peaceful demonstration on June 10 (June 23rd of the Gregorian calendar).

Li Xiaofeng tapped the handrail of the sofa with his fingers. In his memory, this demonstration was the fuse of the July incident, which directly affected the political trend of ** and needed special attention.

"Is that the only one?" he asked.

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

"I want to know the reactions of the Mensheviks and the Social** and the Union Government, don't tell me that even you know this news, they will be kept in the dark!"

Natalia smiled and said, "Of course they won't let you do it!"

Li Xiaofeng stared at Natalia with his eyes curled up and urged: "I have something to say at once! Don't hide it!"

"It's really only so much. Do you think the information is so easy to do?" Natalia spread her hands and smiled bitterly.

Li Xiaofeng was a little angry: "Just just a little information, can you use such a sneaky connector? Just tell me directly on the radio! Don't you know that my current identity is very sensitive!"

"It is precisely because of your sensitive identity that my brother asked you to come out and say it! This is related to the second thing I want to tell you!" Natalia said confidently.

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

Natalia cleared her throat and said solemnly: "The second thing is to be honored to notify you that you have been targeted!"

"What's the meaning?"

"It's very simple!" Natalia smiled proudly, "It means you are being monitored!"

Li Xiaofeng stood up aloofly and asked nervously: "Who is it?"

Natalia pulled him down and said angrily: "What are you doing so nervous? He can't come in, we are safe to speak!"

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

Natalia shook her head and said, "I'm afraid not. There are two groups of people monitoring you, but it can be seen that the method is quite clumsy. That is, you, Ma Daha, would have discovered it long ago if someone else!"

Li Xiaofeng had a fever on his face. He was really not very concerned about his safety. He was restless in this world that could pose too few things to threaten him. Naturally, his sense of crisis was very weak. Now that he was caught and laughed at by Natalia, he felt very embarrassed and immediately wanted to rush out to settle the score with the tails who monitored him.

"Don't worry! Listen to me and finish it!" Natalia dragged someone again, "We have found the mastermind behind you who followed you. One wave was sent by your old rival Kamenev, who probably came to catch your braids; the other wave was sent by your leader to protect you. Humph, I can't tell, he still attaches great importance to you!"

When Li Xiaofeng heard this, he suddenly felt a little bored. Of course, he had to understand the kindness of the mentor, so it was impossible to repay kindness with grievances. As for the people sent by Kamenev, there was no psychological burden to deal with them.

Natalia didn't notice someone's scrupulousness and said to herself: "Now you understand why we have to connect here, right? Your safety awareness is too poor, and it is also very good to cause trouble. For the safety of both of us, it's better to be careful. We won't meet directly in the future. If you have any trouble, go to my ballet troupe, box No. 10!"

Li Xiaofeng actually disagreed with the care of the Yakov brothers and sisters. With his ability, as long as he pays attention, he doesn't believe anyone can keep up with him if he shrinks into an inch or stealth magic horse. However, since he said that, and it's not harmful to keep a little more careful in intelligence work, he accepted this kindness.

"What about the third thing?" Li Xiaofeng asked leisurely.

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

When Li Xiaofeng heard this, he immediately became energetic. During the month of his cultivation, he was not idle. He worked two big tickets in a row and made a fortune in the food he stolen. Now he heard that the boy who gave money was coming again. Why did you think he was unhappy?

The guy asked anxiously: "Is the news accurate?"

"Very sure!" Natalia nodded solemnly.

Li Xiaofeng was already ready to go: "How much food is there?"

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

Ouye! Li Xiaofeng was so excited that he wanted to jump up and sing. He was really sleepy and delivered a pillow. The express delivery function of the treasure pot was only activated. He could eat as much food this time. Isn’t it just a little freight? Isn’t that little bit of immortal power?

Seeing someone so excited that he could hardly find North, Natalia said coldly: "Don't you find it strange at all?"

Li Xiaofeng asked inexplicably: "What's wrong with it?"

Natalia shook her head speechlessly and reminded: "Don't forget, we just succeeded once ten days ago, and took away 1,500 tons of grain. Logically speaking, we have ruined good things in succession. The force hiding behind the scenes will be more alert and will take action... But in the past ten days, there has been no abnormality in the entire Petrograd. Don't you think the other party's reaction is too calm? And no matter how calm they are, they will not be stupid enough to continue transporting grain according to the old methods, right?"

Li Xiaofeng's heart moved. He was so happy that he had no idea about it. After Natalia's reminder, he immediately realized that this was indeed very wrong. Even a fool knew that it was not too late to make up for the dead, but the other party acted worse than a fool. With the other party's IQ, means and relationship network, he would never be so stupid.

If something goes wrong, it will be a monster. Li Xiaofeng immediately thought of a possibility: "Are you saying that this is a trap they designed?" (To be continued in advance)
