Kozemiaka Alexeyevich was an ordinary private in the First Machine Gun Regiment. He had just joined the army in January 1917. Before joining the army, he was a happy cobbler. He hated this damn war from the bottom of his heart.Because according to the original plan, he would marry his beloved girl Maria in July this year. But the war destroyed all this. He had to bid farewell to his hometown, leave his beloved fiancée, and carry the gun to work for the landlords and nobles.

Keremiaka didn't want to work hard for landlords or noble men at all. Thinking about what was the result of his father working hard for the landlords and horses for the landlords and masters for the rest of his life? When he could no longer do physical work, he was swept out mercilessly by the compassionate men.

Koremiaka still remembers the encounter that day. The man took his dog legs to tear down the only shack in the family that they could settle in, and ordered them to get out immediately and break their dog legs if they dare to stay.

That day was the first major turning point in Koremiaka's life. The family was trembling and trembling on the streets. Soon, the old father was anxious and angry, and then the younger brother, who was less than ten years old, was frozen to death. The eldest brother also had one leg frozen. If he had not met the kind-hearted Maria family, he and his mother would not have escaped death in the end.

Meeting Maria is the second turning point in his life. Maria's father, his future master and father-in-law, are the cobblers in the town, and his craftsmanship is so great. Of course, no matter how good the craftsmanship is, it is just a matter of being able to fill the crowd for the poor in this era. Under the exploitation of landlords and nobles, this family is also living a tight life.

But under such difficult conditions, the old father-in-law did not hesitate at all and decided to help the mother and son. Not only did he give him a job that could survive, but he also taught his skills to him.

At that time, Koremiaka's mother attributed all this to God's mercy and gave their down-and-out family a chance to survive. But Koremiaka knew that this was not God's mercy. The church enjoyed incense and was comfortable in the comfort of the pastors and monks. The people he protected were the masterminds behind their tragic encounters.

From then on, Koremiaka no longer believed in any miracle. He knew that it was better to seek others than to seek others. If you want to live, you have to rely on yourself. His hard work, like a sponge absorbs water, absorbs all knowledge from his future father-in-law. Soon, he became the most powerful cobbler in the town. Even those damn men were amazed by his skills. From time to time, after receiving satisfactory goods, he would generously reward him with a few small money.

Keremiaka would not be moved by such a small favor. He knew very well that the men just felt that he was useful for the time being. If he became dispensable, they would immediately change into that cold face. Not to mention rewarding money, it would be more likely to give him a whip.

Although Koremiaka hated these hypocritical and despicable men, he did not think of resisting. He just wanted to work honestly and make money little by little. When he had enough 1,000 rubles, he would propose marriage to his master and marry Maria.

The day came very quickly, and when the war entered its second year, in October 1916, when Koremiaka carefully put the last Kobi in the piggy bank, he cried with excitement.

The marriage was quickly agreed. The only thing Koremiyaka had to do was to repair the new house. When the new house was completed, it was when he married Maria. But just when Koremiyaka was full of longing for his future, a conscription order came from the sky and he was forced to enlist in the army!

This was simply a bolt from the blue. Koremiaka was stunned at the time. He angrily protested to the recruiter: "Why do I have to join the army? The eldest master of the Onegin family also meets the requirements, why don't he have to serve in the military!"

Keremiaka's protest received no response. The recruiter glared at him contemptuously, then beat him down with the whip in his hand, knocking him to death. Then he ordered the soldiers around him disdainfully: "Drag on, lock the small dark room and starve him for two days!"

Keremiaka later learned that the reason why the Onegin family’s eldest son did not need to serve in the military was very simple. First, he was a noble man, and the man’s life was precious, which was not comparable to those of them. Secondly, the man was rich and he would not have to serve in the military as long as he bribed the recruiting officers.

Koremiaka hated this unfair world, but he could do nothing except curse in the small dark room. Soon they were loaded onto the train like animals and pulled to the front line with no military training, and did not even give him a bayonet. Like driving sheep, he and thousands of poor children like him were forced to the battlefield by the supervising officer.

Welcoming them was a purgatory scene, machine guns were roaring, cannons were roaring, and smoke and explosions stimulated his nervous nerves. He was like a lost lamb stumbled between the mountains of corpses and fires, until a shell fell in front of him, and with a roar like a tsunami, he was finally freed from all this.

When Koremiyaka woke up, he was already in the hospital behind. Well, it was actually a few broken straw sheds, and the wounded were kept in captivity like animals. The pungent smell and the vicious nurses and doctors were all his memories of the hospital. The sanitary conditions there were so bad that it was outrageous. The black-hearted doctors secretly reselling life-saving medicines. There was no money? Sorry, there was no medicine!

A kind comrade told him that if he wanted to go home alive, it would be better not to stay in this cafeteria for one more second. The earlier he left, the more secure his life would be. Keremiaka deeply agreed with this. On the second day after he woke up, he resolutely escaped from the cafeteria and returned to his company.

However, although the person has returned, Koremiaka has lost some things forever, and his eardrum has been broken and he has completely lost his hearing. In addition, one finger and two toes have also said goodbye to him. If the seventeen or eighteen shrapnel that have not been taken out of his body can barely be considered balance of income and expenditure.

Of course, Koremiyaka was quite lucky. He saved his life. Most of the fellow villagers who were caught onto the battlefield with him did not come back. It is said that the shot smashed most of them, and they were in a mess. The casualty rate of the entire company exceeded 70%. It can almost be said that they were completely crippled.

After the first time on the battlefield, the first machine gun regiment where Koremiaka was located was transferred back to the rear for cultivation by his kind superiors due to heavy casualties. Petrograd. Hey! Koremiaka entered the city for the first time in his life. The prosperity of them opened his eyes, but these material things did not arouse his slight interest. Because Koremiaka knew very well that nothing could be possessed by him, a disabled soldier.

In the capital, what really opened the eyes of Koremiaka were all kinds of new thoughts. For the first time, he knew that people were born equal, and for the first time he knew that the root of his tragedy was the evil exploitation society. A belief that had never been injected into his mind - if he wanted to live with dignity and live like a person, he had to resist and overturn all this!

Koremiaka's thoughts changed greatly. Just like he learned the leather making process with his master, he once again absorbed new knowledge like a sponge absorbing water. Every day, every time, every second, his thoughts were changing. He gradually began to grow into a revolutionary warrior from a small peasant and handicraft who obeyed.

Keremiaka felt extremely fulfilled by these changes. He sincerely thanked his enlightened people. Their beloved leader Vishniak. He felt that the newly appointed leader was as true as his name (Vishniak means spring) - which made him feel like he was bathed in spring breeze.

Vishniak was a glorious Bolshevik. Kozemiaka heard him talk about Lenin more than once and talk about the great thoughts of this revolutionary mentor. Kozemiaka had seen Lenin more than once in Mengli, and you should know that only Maria could make him dream of before.

Koremiaka wanted to see Lenin, and even if he just looked at him from a distance, he felt satisfied. On this day, his beloved leader Vishniak informed him excitedly: "Comrade Koremiaka Alexeyevich, Comrade Lenin will come to our group this afternoon and give us a speech!"

At that moment, after a bang in Koremiaka's mind, he knew nothing. The last time he had the same feeling was when he was shot on the battlefield. He was very doubtful if there was something wrong with his ear. Koremiaka tried hard to turn his healthy ear towards Vishniak: "Comrade Commander, what did you say?"

Vishniak repeated loudly in his ear. After confirming the news, Koremiaka rushed out like a child and shouted to everyone: "Comrade Lenin is coming! Comrade Lenin is coming!"

Under the expectation of Koremiakagg, Lenin arrived at the base of the First Machine Gun Regiment on time. In fact, this was not the first time the mentor gave a speech to the soldiers today. He only went to the Peter Papulov Regiment in the morning and gave an inspiring speech to the soldiers there. After the speech of the First Machine Gun Regiment, he had to go to another regiment tonight.

Although the journey was very tired, the tutor could not see any fatigue at all. He was like the sun at noon, emitting a warm light and heat, shining the hearts of every soldier in the First Machine Gun regiment.

Koremiaka is no exception. From the moment Lenin started his speech on stage, his attention was all focused on the tutor. Every word, every movement, and every look of the tutor touched his heart.

At the beginning, Keremiaka was a little disappointed when he saw Lenin as a small man. For a young man like him, the great hero in his mind was not to mention the pear blossoms that beat the crabapple with a pear blossom, but he had to be tall, mighty, and powerful. It would be best to scare the nobles and men to pee their pants as soon as they appeared.

But Lenin was not only not tall, but also had a little too smart head. He was so shiny! It should be said that Lenin's first impression of Keremiaka was not very good, which made him feel a little bit more famous than meeting.

However, such feelings did not affect Koremiyaka's listening to Lenin's speech. As the mentor's emotions entered the top, Koremiyaka's emotions were completely mobilized. He had never heard anyone explain the truth so thoroughly. He could tell the profound truth in the simplest language.

Koremiaka was completely moved by Lenin's speech. Just as fans of later generations met their favorite big star, he cried, laughed and made a fuss, just like a mentally ill person. The speech originally scheduled to end at 4:00 pm was delayed for two hours. This was Lenin repeatedly emphasized that he would go to another legion to give a speech, hoping that his comrades could let him go as promised. That's it. The officers and soldiers of the First Machine Gun Regiment, including Koremiaka, were reluctant to leave and sent Lenin three miles away!

Lenin came and left in a hurry, but Keremiaka's mind was completely taken away by the tutor. What he thought of back and forth in his mind that night was what Lenin said, tossing and turning in the bed, he couldn't sleep.

At midnight, Koremiyaka, who was sleeping more and more awake, couldn't help but feel excited, jumped up and rushed out of the camp, ran on the countryside path, breathing the fresh air, and looking at the red sun in the distance, Koremiyaka really wanted to whistle to the sky.

However, as soon as he opened his mouth, he found a figure standing by the Neva River in the distance. Rubbed his eyes and looked closely, Koremiaka found that he was the leader of his revolution, his most beloved leader Vishniak.

Is it true that the comrade leader, like me, was too excited to sleep after listening to Comrade Lenin's speech, and then came out to relax?

This was Koremiyaka's initial thought, but soon he denied this possibility because he found that the leader was not alone, and there was obviously a person standing beside him. Although because of Guangyang, he didn't see it very clearly, and he couldn't even tell whether this person was a man or a woman, but he was sure that it was indeed a man!

The leader's girlfriend is here? Keremiaka guessed that he had a very clear impression of the leader's beautiful girlfriend and his comrades. Every week, there will always be one day when the leader's beautiful girlfriend comes back to visit him. To be honest, the leader's girlfriend is so beautiful! Blond long shoulder-length hair, big blue eyes, and snow-white skin, this is simply the goddess in the minds of every normal man.

If Koremiyaka had not already had his beloved Maria, he might have fallen under the beautiful woman's pomegranate skirt like other comrades. Of course, the leader's girlfriend is pretty, but Koremiyaka always feels that this woman gives him a little strange feeling.

It’s not that the commander’s girlfriend looked down on them, but she seemed amiable every time she came, without being arrogant or looking down on others. She was really good to them. But Koremiyaka always felt strange. He felt that the commander’s girlfriend’s amiability seemed to be pretending, giving people a false and unreal feeling.

This feeling is completely familiar to Koremiaka. In the past, the priests in the village had this attitude towards them, such as the poor. Although he looked merciful, he always felt very handsome.

However, Koremiyaka never told others this feeling, nor did he mention it to the leader. He believed that the reason why he felt this way was because of his prejudice, and there was no need to affect the relationship between the leader and his girlfriend because of his prejudice.

Seeing the two people in the distance slowly moving towards their own direction, in order not to prevent the couple in love, Koremiyaka hid behind the big tree tactfully. As the footsteps became clearer, the sound of the two of them talking fell into Koremiyaka's only healthy ears.

"On the first day, Lenin came this afternoon and gave a very exciting and enthusiastic speech, which completely mobilized the soldiers' emotions."

Koremiaka recognized this voice, but what confused him was who the leader said was the No. 1? Also, it seems very disrespectful to call Comrade Lenin so well!

Koremiaka was wondering, No. 1 answered: "Is that so? Humph, this is very good. I originally wanted you to continue to arouse the emotions of those soldiers and make them completely lose their minds. Unexpectedly, Lenin helped me do it for me. Haha, it saved us a lot of effort... How are the emotions of the soldiers now?"

"Emotions are high! I am willing to sacrifice my life for the so-called equal society in their dreams. As long as I give my order, they will pick up their weapons and walk on the streets without hesitation!"

"Great!" No. 1 laughed like an owl, "You are ready, as soon as tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, No. 4 will convey instructions to you! After receiving the order, I want you to implement it thoroughly without hesitation... The bigger the scene, the better, and the more radical the action is..."

As the two of them gradually got farther away, they could not hear the words behind them, but just a few words they heard were enough to make Koremiyaka sweat. Although he didn't know who the No. 1 who was talking to Vishniak was, there was no doubt that it could be seen from his night owl-like laughter and his gloomy tone that this guy was probably not a good person.

A bad guy secretly met the team leader in the middle of the night. Even if Koremiyaka is stupid, he can feel something is wrong. It seems that they are planning a conspiracy against Comrade Lenin?

When he thought of this, Koremiyaka could not sit still. At that moment, he could not accept the fact that the beloved leader was a traitor and a spy. He immediately wanted to go to Vishniak to find out, but immediately he gave up the idea. If the facts were as he guessed, confrontation was probably not a good way, and it would only alarm the snake.

For a moment, Koremiaka was in a hurry. At this critical moment, he could not think of any solution. If Comrade Lenin was hurt because of his stupidity, wouldn’t he be a sinner?
Chapter completed!
