128 A Luck

Alfanasi Mikhailnovic was an ordinary draftsman in the Tula Factory. Before November 1917, his life was free and unforgettable. Although the salary of the draftsman was not particularly high, as the only son in the family, he could obtain financial support from his father, so he could marry a beautiful wife and buy a small farm outside the city. If nothing unexpected happens, in early 1918, he would gain a lovely son or daughter.

In short, Alphanasi was very satisfied with life. Even if the clouds of war enveloped the entire Russia, he was also a happy optimist. However, all this took a sharp turn after November.

First, the old father, who had been funding his, was arrested and imprisoned for designing weapons for the bourgeois enemy, intending to subvert the people's regime.

This bolt from the blue almost scared Alphanasi. He knew what the old man was busy with in the past few months, and it was nothing more than assisting Federov in designing a new weapon. It is said that this new weapon will have pioneering significance and if it succeeds, it will open a new chapter in light weapons.

Alphanasi had no interest in creating history or leaving a name in history, otherwise as the son of a light weapon expert, he would not be just a draftsman. However, he was very supportive of the old man's work. Because the Northern Industrial Company offered very generous rewards, this company he had never heard of seemed to be a big tycoon, waving the checkbook across the Volga River and stimulating the designers' nerves with a lot of money.

If nothing unexpected happens, Alphanasi will soon be able to buy the car he has long wanted as he wishes. He has always wanted to replace the means of transportation for commuting, that is, the smelly mare, with a car.

But who would have thought that suddenly the storm changed drastically? The workers' Red Guards arrested the old man without saying anything. After a simple and rough trial, they were given a serious crime of counter-revolution. If nothing unexpected happens, they will be sentenced soon and may be sentenced to hard labor or exile.

This blow was a little too big for Alfanosi. He kept trying to complain to the workers' pickets and Chika - their old man was just a technician, he never cared about politics, he did not devote himself to serving the bourgeoisie, nor did he deliberately want to get along with the proletariat. If designing new weapons is a sin, they could stop immediately.

However, it was useless to let him speak out, and even the workers' pickets and Cheka didn't have the patience to listen to his crying. Either he was directly bombarded, or he would be intimidated. In short, everything has been decided and irreversible.

If it were just this blow, Alfanosi would not have collapsed, and even more things that caused him to collapse came. One morning, a group of vicious peasants broke into his small farm and announced in public that he, the bourgeois lackey of Alfanosi, had all the property of the bourgeois lackey, was confiscated. The Soviets of the engineers ordered him and his wife to leave the farm immediately and not take away any valuable property and clothes.

In the snow, Alfanoci was so sad that he was driven out of his home with his wife. The only thing he could take was a suitcase and clothes, a little food, his house, farmland, and the smelly mare he hadn't looked down upon before no longer belonged to him.

At that moment, Alfanosi felt that the sky had collapsed. He hugged his wife who was pregnant with Rocca. He didn't know where to go. How to deal with this sudden disaster. In short, he was about to collapse, but in the end his wife bravely took on the burden and brought the poor man back to her parents' home.

In the words of my wife: "Our family is not a bourgeoisie, my father and brother are just ordinary technicians, and the Bolsheviks should not kill them all..."

Alfasino's father-in-law and brother-in-law were good. He expressed great sympathy for his family's experience and generously accepted the couple. At that time, Alfasino finally saw a little hope, but what he had never expected was that this hope quickly turned into a bubble.

Not long after he settled in his father-in-law's house, his father-in-law and his brother-in-law were reported on the grounds that they were family members of the bourgeoisie and enemies of the proletariat and had to be suppressed. Soon, his father-in-law and brother-in-law's job was ruined, and no factory would hire the bourgeoisie or those involved in the bourgeoisie.

This time the blow was fatal. Without work, in Russia today, it was equivalent to losing hope of survival. Alfanosi didn't understand what their family did wrong? Was it a murder or arson, or was it bullying men and women? Why should they be treated so cruelly?

Isn’t every penny they earned through their own labor? Is this also a sin? Can only be glorious, great, reasonable and legal only when doing work hard or hard work?

Alfanosi thought about it all day long, and his mind was in a mess. More importantly, a large amount of anger accumulated in his heart. As long as there was a spark, he would explode.

Soon, the Mars came. The day before Li Xiaofeng arrived in Tula, the workers' picket team visited him again and gave him fatal bad news - his father's verdict had been completed, and he was extremely guilty and would be shot in public the day after tomorrow.

Shot!

Alfanosi was stunned at that time. The worst case he had considered was that the old man would be exiled to Siberia as a savage. He never thought that it would be a death penalty. He didn't understand. Didn't he just serve the bourgeoisie? It would not be a sin to die! Back then, Lenin, Trotsky and others rebelled openly, and the Tsar did not kill them, that is, exiled. Even rebellion would not be a sin to die. Why would he have to be executed such a big deal?

At that time, Alfanosi broke out. He tried to rush up to find the workers' picket team to argue, but the result was that he got a punch and kick. If it weren't for the brother-in-law and father-in-law trying hard to protect him, he might have returned to the west earlier than the old man.

The pain and cruel reality made Alfanosi despair. He could not see any hope. He felt that there was no fairness in this world anymore. He felt that life was a torment. At that moment, he thought of death.

Yes, Alfanosi has never been a man with strong will. Life has never been smooth sailing. He has no experience in dealing with the current situation. He does not know how to face setbacks and failures. So, in confusion, he is ready to choose the most extreme means to end this tragic world - he thought of suicide.

Anyway, that night, he was thinking about how to bear fruit, so that when he got up the next day, he became in a daze. A person with a dazed mind was like sleepwalking, like a robot doing things on his instinct.

Alfanosi's biggest instinct in recent years was to go to work. He completely forgot that he had been fired by the Tula Factory. Just like a walking corpse, he walked towards the Tula Factory.

Everything seemed to be the same as when he was working before. The only difference was that due to the chaos these days, the management of the Tula Factory was messed up. The guards at the gates either slipped away or were distracted, and no one noticed that another guy who was almost sleepwalking broke in.

So, when Alfanoci finished his sleepwalking state and returned to his awakening, even he was shocked - I just came in. It's over!

Yes, Alfanosi was frightened. He remembered the warning given to him by the Red Guards of the workers when he was fired - counter-revolutionaries must not approach military territories, otherwise they will be shot dead on the spot!

Suddenly, Alfanosi panicked. He looked left and right with guilt, and he looked like a suspicious person. In fact, it would be fine if he was not so vulgar. The more nervous he was, the more sneaky he was, the more likely he would be to have something to happen.

Sure enough, he was soon discovered by the patrol worker Red Guards. Suspicious elements like him were really eye-catching.

"Stop, who are you!"

This angry shout scared Alfanosi and immediately remembered the fact that he was beaten yesterday. At that time, he just expressed his protest and was beaten. Now it was probably yellow mud that fell into his crotch. It was either shit or shit!

Alfanosi, who was frightened, turned around and ran away like a frightened rabbit. In fact, there was no need to be so nervous. Although the other party's tone was not very good, he was really just a routine. If you were to see a sneaky stranger at his job, he would probably yell.

In this case, the most wrong way is to run, which will only make people subconsciously think that you have bad intentions. So after the workers' Red Guards looked at each other, they immediately followed him yelled, and even a few nervous Red Guards fired directly.

Alfanosi, who was frightened, panicked and rushed into the arsenal. It was his luck. It happened to be the morning meal time. The Red Guards guarding the arsenal collectively fled out to pay tribute to the Wudian Temple, so there was no one. If it were earlier or later, Alfanosi might have been shot to death directly.

Of course, these are not the key points. The key situation is what Alfanoci should do in the face of this extremely unfavorable situation. Because there are not many choices left for him, it is difficult for him to clear his suspicion, and given that his father is a counter-revolutionary, it is very likely that he will be sentenced to death.

Although Alfanosi had thought about committing suicide before, the true heart was just thinking about it. For all people with weak will, a thought will arise every minute, and they will never execute it.

The same is true for Alfanosi now. When he faced the threat of death, the fear immediately aroused his sense of survival. He didn't want to die, and he didn't think about it at all. So when facing the relentless worker Red Guards, he was forced to do so, "Don't come over, get closer, I'll pull the grenade!"

Seeing Alfanosi tremblingly holding a grenade, and a box of strong explosives were found around him, no matter who it was, he would be nervous and afraid, even if the Red Guard, a worker who claimed not to be afraid of death and was willing to sacrifice his life for the revolution, was no exception.

In an instant, they stopped and even took a few steps back immediately, signaling that they had no malice: "Hey, man, don't be nervous, we are just routine, put down the grenades, everything is easy to say!"

However, Alfanosi's mental state is really unstable now. The various encounters these days have made him angry. The fierce escape just now made his brain lack oxygen. He suddenly became angry: "Get out of here. Get out immediately! Don't want to lie to me anymore! Get out quickly, otherwise I will..." As he said that, he was trembling and about to pull the fuse.

This action scared several Red Guards almost lost their souls. They no longer dared to stimulate Alfanosi, and slowly retreated from the arsenal and shouted in through the gate: "Hey, man, don't do anything randomly. There are hundreds of tons of explosives inside, enough to send the entire Tula factory to heaven!"

In fact, they were all redundant to shout these words. At this time, Alfanosi had entered a state of trance. He knew that he had caused a huge disaster. His father designed a weapon and was beaten to a counter-revolutionary. He wanted to threaten to bomb the arsenal. Isn't that even more counter-revolutionary than counter-revolutionary?

At that time, his mind was messy, and there was only one thought that came and went - today. I was dead no matter what, I was dead, I was dead!

So no matter how the outside calls, Alfanoci didn't listen. In fact, at this time, if a bold person rushed in, he could lie down with three punches and two kicks. Unfortunately, no one was so brave. After all, hundreds of tons of explosives were not a joke. If this was blown up, who would be responsible? Even if no one held him accountable, his life would be gone!

"How is the situation inside!"

When Akihitosky arrived at the scene, the situation did not change. The workers' Red Guards surrounded the arsenal, but no one dared to break in. They could only keep calling Alfanosi through the gate, coercing and tempting the boy to surrender, but they did not receive much response.

"The prisoner hid in the arsenal and did not allow us to get close, and threatened to blow up the arsenal!"

"What?! Fuck @#¥%..."

As mentioned earlier, Akirisky didn't know what happened in the Tula factory. He just used this guise to avoid a certain immortal attack and asked Petrograd for help. Now, when he heard that the matter was so big, he subconsciously took three steps back.

"There are arms inside?" he asked stammeringly.

What else can it be if it is not an arms? The captain of the Red Guard, a worker who introduced the situation on the scene, looked at him speechlessly, and was speechless about this strange question. The arsenal did not install arms, so would it be filled with rice and white flour? However, Akihitosky was a superior after all, and even if it was not reliable, he could only show respect.

"This room is equipped with hundreds of tons of ammunition, including two hundred tons of strong explosives, and its power is enough to completely destroy all buildings within a radius of one mile..."

When Akihitosky heard this, he was so scared that he uttered a whistle and unconsciously wanted to retreat. Fortunately, he quickly realized that he was the leader, and if he acted too timidly, the impact would seem to be very bad.

"How could this happen!" Akihitosky asked angrily, "How could the counter-revolutionaries break into our arsenal? Do you know how serious this is! What about the people guarding the arsenal? I want to deal with them immediately! This is dereliction of duty!!"

The captain of the workers' Red Guards was speechless again. Let's say that, although he was also very angry that the Red Guards on duty rushed out to eat and drink, which was indeed a huge mistake. However, the most urgent task at the moment is to resolve the crisis, not deal with those bastards. Otherwise, it would be put before the horse.

"I have locked them up," he replied, "but Comrade Veccheslav, the most important thing now is to resolve the crisis peacefully, and those people's problems can be investigated slowly in the future..."

Akihitosky doesn't like to listen to this. It's not that he thinks the captain is wrong, but that he doesn't know how to resolve the crisis. The sooner he is to separate the responsibility, the better. He doesn't want his political future to be ruined by a few drunks.

"So, stay and deal with the crisis!" Akiensky ordered, "I'll hold those bastards accountable. This matter is very bad and must be dealt with seriously... Well, that's the decision!"

Akiri Ski patted his butt and flashed. The captain was so depressed that he almost vomited blood. Everyone knew that dealing with the current crisis was difficult. It was easy to deal with a few drunks. At this time, Akiri Ski, the superior leader, should play a leading role and personally deal with the most difficult things. But he was better, eating meat and leaving the hard bones to his subordinates. Damn, such a leader should be struck by lightning.

Captain Red Guard was very depressed, but he had to listen to the orders from his superiors. In addition to greeting Akihitosky's eight generations of ancestors in his heart, he could only take over this hot potato with his teeth.

After thinking for a long time, he had no idea and could only give a vicious order: "Send another person to call and let the bastard inside surrender immediately!"

"I'm afraid this is not a good idea!"

"Who are you!" Zhang of the Red Guards was frightened by this sudden sound, especially when he found that the owner of the sound was a young little kid who was not very young, he was immediately dissatisfied: "Who put you in? These turtles are not reliable at all. It's time to make trouble for me! Come on, drive this little boy out, you all listen to me, and then put irrelevant people in, I will strip you down..."

He didn't finish his words because the ID in Li Xiaofeng told him that he had met another bigger leader.

He stuttered immediately: "Comrade, I really don't know you... I really didn't mean it..."
