When the October Revolution entered its third day, October 27, the situation began to become more and more complicated. Petrograd was the Bolsheviks, and outside Petrograd, the monsters and gods who opposed the Bolsheviks began to organize counterattacks after initial panic and confusion.

Liwof recruited soldiers in the imperial village and had a great intention to enter the city of Petrograd. The front-line base also began to openly support the overthrowed provisional government and began to dispatch troops. Even the Mensheviks and the right-wingers in the city of Petrograd were increasingly restless. After reorganizing the so-called social security committee into the National Rescue Revolutionary Committee, they actively contacted the temporarily disarmed non-commissioned officers, preparing to cooperate with Liwof's army inside and outside to seize the capital.

All this has little to do with Li Xiaofeng. When the situation in Petrograd was fermenting deeply, he was on his way to Moscow.

"Erikson, after arriving in Moscow, we will take action separately. Go and contact your old friends, explore their voices, and see what tricks they are going to do. If you find out, contact me through the radio!" Li Xiaofeng ordered without any doubt.

Erikson asked with some concern: "It's too dangerous for me to fight alone, right?"

Li Xiaofeng curled his lips and said, "Don't worry, I will send a few people to protect you!"

Before leaving, Li Xiaofeng specially selected a group of elite soldiers and strong generals from the Special Forces. When he went to Moscow, he was completely disgusted with no reliable people. He alone could not cause much storm. Moreover, fighting alone would be a loss.

"What about us?" Markvey asked impatiently, "Go directly to the Soviets whom you mentioned?"

"No hurry!" Li Xiaofeng shook his head. He was not stupid. Since the mentor and Sverdlov said in unison that the situation in Moscow was very complicated, then he should first learn more about the situation and hurry to the Soviets of the Engineers, which was not beneficial at all. It would be better to go and take a look first and see what these old revolutionaries in Moscow have. Only by understanding the little things in their hearts can he take action to make trouble.

Since he had made up his mind to take a walk and take a look in Moscow, Li Xiaofeng simply took a light car and placed the elite soldiers he brought in in an inconspicuous small hotel near the suburbs of Moscow. He took Markwei and the other two to start squeezing the road in Moscow.

Moscow was already very cold in November (Gregorian calendar). Moreover, due to the revolution, the streets seemed empty. I walked all the way. Except for being searched by non-commissioned officers several times, Li Xiaofeng couldn't see how much revolutionary passion Moscow has. It can even be said that it was just the opposite, it was like a pool of stagnant water.

"It's almost noon. Should we find a place to have a meal first?" Markway asked.

Li Xiaofeng's face was not very good. He responded casually and said, "Whatever!"

Although Markwei saw that someone was a little absent-minded, he didn't care. He had been to Moscow many times and was considered half an indigenous person. Then he took a fairy to a high-end restaurant in a roundabout way.

"What's wrong? Man, I'm not in a good mood?" Mark Wei asked carefully after ordering the dish.

"It's weird if it's good!" Li Xiaofeng said angrily, "Before I came, I thought the situation in Moscow was very bad, but now it seems that the situation is worse than I expected!"

"Why do you say that? Everything is normal in Moscow, nothing is wrong?" Mark Wei said silly.

"It's because everything is normal. That's wrong!" Li Xiaofeng replied angrily, "The afternoon before yesterday, the Moscow Revolutionary Military Commission said it would respond to the Petrograd uprising. Now look at Moscow is silent, and there are signs of uprising!"

Mark Wei slapped his forehead. He had not changed from his previous role, and was still looking at the problem from the perspective of a non-commissioned officer. Everything is normal for a non-commissioned officer, but it is really abnormal for a Bolshevik!

Markvey lowered his voice and asked in a low voice: "You mean, the Moscow uprising failed!"

"If it fails, then it's OK!" Li Xiaofeng sighed, "I think it's an uprising that hasn't started at all!"

Mark Wei widened his eyes in surprise and asked incrediblely: "No way? Didn't you just say..."

Li Xiaofeng angrily kneaded the napkin in his hand, and looked at the posture and was about to rush out immediately to make the matter come to light, but he had just stood up and sat down again.

Mark Wei was confused by Li Xiaofeng's actions, "What's wrong? I was shocked?"

Li Xiaofeng signaled Mark Wei to be calm, squinted his eyes and observed carefully for a while, then sneered: "Things are getting more and more interesting. Even this grandson can't wait to get in the middle of the game!"

"Who?" Markway asked.

"A mortal enemy!" Li Xiaofeng said contemptuously, "Remember his big pie face, be sure, be careful in this grandson in the future!"

Mark Wei looked in the direction of Li Xiaofeng's finger, and after identifying a certain big pie face, he also exclaimed softly: "Why are he here too?"

"Who?" This time it was Li Xiaofeng's turn to ask.

"Moscow Mayor Rudnev!"

Li Xiaofeng was immediately surprised. Being able to become the mayor of a big city like Moscow when Kerensky was in power was definitely a hard-core and hard-working stubborn person. It was already surprising that Zinoviev suddenly appeared in Moscow. It was even more intriguing to sit together for dinner with such a person.

"Which party is this Rudnev from?" Li Xiaofeng asked in a low voice.

"As far as I know, I belong to the Social Revolutionary Party." Markvey thought for a while and said, "Last year I was able to enter the Alexei Military and Technical College, and I was able to go through his path. This old guy is the Duma of the Congress and has a little influence in Moscow!"

Li Xiaofeng nodded slowly and ordered: "Don't alert the snake, let's just eat!"

Although that's the case, in the face of such a good opportunity, a certain immortal did not leave any evidence. It was really unreasonable. After using a trick, someone took out a camera and locked Dabingface and Rudnev in the camera together.

"Mr. Mayor," Zinoviev had no idea that he had been discovered by a certain immortal, nor did he know that his "evidence" had been recorded. At this time, he was communicating with Rudnev wholeheartedly. "Our opinions on the current situation are basically consistent, that is, Russia now needs stability, and stability is better than everything. The main purpose of my visit this time is to sincerely exchange opinions with you and do our best to make Moscow return to normalcy!"

Compared to Zinoviev's politeness, Rudnev's attitude was considered bad. He slanted his face and said proudly: "Mr. Gregory, to be honest, if it weren't for the Menshevik friends' strong request that I meet you. Otherwise, I would not have sat on the same table with a Bolshevik like you! In the current chaotic situation in Russia, you must pay the primary responsibility!"

Zinoviev showed an awkward look. He really didn't expect Drunev to speak so violently. He was a complete master in the party, but now he had to pretend to be a grandson, which made him extremely frustrated.

But there is nothing to do if you feel frustrated. For the sake of your future, you must pretend to be a grandson. A real man can stretch and bend!

While comforting himself in his heart, while exerting a little smile as much as possible, Zinoviev said pitifully: "What we are going to do now is not for the previous unhappiness and disagreement. Those unhappiness and disagreement were not caused by us on purpose. It was just that some of the comrades in the party were bewitched by Lenin and led to the evil path. I am also very sorry for this... The purpose of our sitting here is to correct the previous mistakes, right? Mr. Mayor."

Rudnev was still so arrogant and hummed, and said softly, "You Bolsheviks have always said one thing and done another. You are saying it beautifully now, but how do you ensure that this is not your delaying strategy?"

Speaking of this, Rudnev smiled sinisterly and threatened proudly: "Mr. Gregory, I'm not afraid to tell you. We have made sufficient preparations. Colonel Liang Bozev has an army of 100,000 people waiting for the battle. With my order, I can uproot the Moscow rebellion in an instant. After quelling the rebellion in Moscow, we will rush our troops westward and break into Petrograd. At that time, not only you, but also your leader, Lenin, will accept the punishment of the government!"

As if he was intoxicated by the beautiful prospects he had drawn, Rudnev squinted his eyes and said proudly: "By that time, we may not be able to sit together and eat like this. I guess we can only speak through the iron window!"

Zinoviev took out his handkerchief and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. He seemed to have been scared by the threat from the other party. He paused for a long time before stammering: "The reason I came to see you today is to avoid such a bad situation..."

"I need sincerity!" Rudnev knocked on the table impatiently and said arrogantly: "I don't want to listen to these nonsense. My request is very simple. You Bolsheviks immediately put down your weapons and surrender immediately! Only by putting down your weapons can you have the only way to survive!"

Zinoviev wiped his cold sweat again. This guy was completely shocked by Rudnev. Li Xiaofeng believed that as long as Rudnev applied a little more pressure, Zinoviev would raise his hand to surrender.

Li Xiaofeng despised Dabing, a useless coward, who was scared by the other party's words. You are simply stupid and brainless. Liang Bozefu has a 100,000 army of 100,000 people, and most of them are trainees from military academy and students from universities. Most of the 150,000 garrisons around Moscow obeyed the Soviets of the engineers. In addition, the Red Guards of tens of thousands of workers have no advantage in terms of numbers. Not to mention the wizard's army's troops heading west to restore Petrograd, it is a big question whether they can gain a foothold in Moscow.

It was extremely embarrassing to be frightened by such a big fool. However, just as Li Xiaofeng gritted his teeth and greeted the eighteen generations of ancestors, the talks on the table suddenly changed. Zinoviev, who was originally cowardly and unconventional, suddenly became tough.

"Mr. Mayor, if you have this attitude, there is no need for us to continue the talks," Zinoviev suddenly slapped the table, shocking Rudnev, who was crossing his legs across the street, almost falling and fighting.

"You don't need to bluff with me! That doesn't make any sense!" Zinoviev said in a bloody mood. "I don't deny that you have an advantage in the national power balance, but in Petrograd. In Moscow, you are this!" Zinoviev extended his little finger while saying that.

"You..." Rudnev was furious and wanted to say something. Zinoviev said without hesitation: "You don't have to threaten me, that's meaningless. Because what I'm telling the truth! If you still want to continue the meaningless conversation just now, then I can only turn around and leave!"

Seeing Rudnev's face unstable, Zinoviev put away his aggressiveness just now, changed into a gentle tone, and said earnestly: "Mr. Mayor. I repeat again, Lenin is different from him, and I do not support his radical line. I sit down with you with great sincerity and want to resolve the crisis in Moscow with you. I hope this kind of talks is open and constructive! Because we are in a hurry, if the situation in Petrograd continues to deteriorate, then Moscow will follow in Petrograd soon. You don't want to see this happen, do you?"

Li Xiaofeng was a little impressed by Dabing's face. Although he was very disliked by this guy's approach, it is undeniable that this guy still has some tricks. Looking at him, he took back the initiative in the conversation in a few casual words, making Rudnev, who had just been arrogant, suddenly become honest and had to follow his rhythm.

Of course, admiration is not the same as admiration. That doesn't mean that Li Xiaofeng will let Zinoviev cause trouble in Moscow. From the conversation just now, it can be obvious that this guy came to Moscow to destroy the armed uprising. However, Li Xiaofeng couldn't understand how he gained political benefits through this method?

Don't worry. The answer will be revealed immediately. Zinoviev said bluntly: "Under the current situation, I think that only we both take a step back, we will give up the armed uprising in Moscow and no longer try to overthrow your leaders. And you also promise not to retaliate. We both sit down and resolve the crisis through negotiation!"

Rudnev looked at Zinoviev solemnly and asked after a long time: "I don't object to this proposal, but I doubt you can suppress the workers and soldiers who are ready to move in Moscow. And as far as I know, the Soviets of the Moscow Engineers' Representative have made the decision to respond to the Petrograd uprising, and you have even established the so-called Revolutionary Military Commission. Now that the arrow is on the string, do you have the ability to calm all this?"

Zinoviev smiled and said confidently: "If I had no such ability, I would not have come to meet you. I can assure you that the Soviets of the Moscow Engineers' representatives will immediately overturn the decision made the day before yesterday. Of course, even if the resolution cannot be overturned, it will not respond to the Petrograd uprising! I will let them remain restrained!" At this point, he changed his subject, "But I must also remind you, Mr. Mayor, that you must also be restrained. If some of your impulsive actions anger the workers and soldiers, it would be quite a pity!"

Rudnev thought for a while and said, "I can promise your conditions, and our soldiers will never provoke first. However, if those workers and soldiers provoke us first, we will reserve the right to fight back. Moreover, to show your sincerity in negotiations, I hope your people will withdraw from the General Administration of Posts and Telecommunications, Telecommunications and the Kremlin as soon as possible!"

"This can be negotiated," Zinoviev said after thinking, "but I need time, and I will give you a reply tomorrow morning at the latest!"

Rudnev nodded and hurriedly left the restaurant. Not long after, Zinoviev left excitedly. Li Xiaofeng could see that Dapinface was very satisfied with the result of this talk. He probably was preparing to go back to do the persuasion work.

"We'll go, too!"

“Where to go?”

Li Xiaofeng smiled and said, "Go directly to the Moscow Party Committee. If they want to do something, they must first convince the Moscow Party Committee and let us stir upside down!"

After Nogen and Zinoviev arrived in Moscow together, they divided into two groups. Zinoviev contacted the Mensheviks and the Social Revolutionaries, stabilized them first and laid a good foundation for future negotiations. He immediately returned to the Moscow Party Committee to do his work. His task was to stabilize the mood of the Party Committee and delay time as much as possible.

"Comrades, I just returned from Petrograd," Nogen said arrogantly at the Party Committee meeting and conveyed the false central spirit. "Petrograd's armed uprising has basically won. Under the great power of the proletariat, the Provisional Government has had to choose to surrender. Our current task is to learn from the experience of the victory of the Petrograd's armed uprising. What is this experience? It is to communicate and cooperate fully with all parties and try to unite all parties in the Soviet Union, so that they can achieve victory."

Speaking of this, Nogen seemed to be excited by the lies he made up. He said excitedly: "Our task now is to establish a coalition government that can be recognized by a party. We must try our best to avoid bloodshed and sacrifice, to figure out the situation of the enemy, and to contact the enemy when necessary, and to strive for peace and transfer the regime to the Soviet side!"

Nogen's speech was shocking, but it also caused quite a shock. He could see relaxed or relaxed emotions from the faces of the comrades attending the meeting. Of course, some people were confused. But that was not the main thing. The main thing was that he had already achieved his initial goal - to make those overly radical guys become peaceful! (To be continued.
