295 You are too naive
Nikolai's assertion was a bit too early. If it was a month ago, he would have no problem reaching the conclusion. The Bolshevik leaders, including Lenin, were indeed unwilling to be troublesome when facing severe domestic and foreign situations. They were also actively making diplomatic efforts, hoping to make the Allies give up the blockade of Russia and quickly turn the country from a state of war to a state of peace construction.
Unfortunately, the facts proved that the Bolsheviks' patience was completely hot. After the Brest contract was reached, the Allies had formulated a comprehensive plan of interference, and even divided the spheres of influence after the Russian Revolution.
The French will obtain Ukraine, Bisarabia, Crimea, and Donbas. The British are the Caucasus and Central Asia, while the Japanese have obtained permission to expand their sphere of influence in the Far East. As for the Americans' greed for themselves, it is better to package their sphere of influence. However, the activity of each White Army cannot be separated from their support. To be honest, Uncle Sam wants to gain widespread benefits in Russia.
Russia seems to be completely a dish on the plate, waiting for the guests to enjoy. In this case, how could the great powers restore normal relations with Russia, especially with the Bolsheviks?
Soon, in April, the sudden rebellion of the Czech Legion sounded the alarm for the Bolshevik leaders, especially after the Czech Legion rebellion, the Allies openly claimed that the Czech Legion was their ally.
For the Master and Trotsky, what this means is obvious - the Allies will not live in peace with Soviet Russia at all! However, in order to leave a last line of communication, neither the Master and Trotsky expelled the Ambassador of the Allies and silently endured their activities.
Until this time, when the shadow of the Allies appeared clearly in the rebellion of the Black Sea Fleet. Both Lenin and Trotsky knew that they could not continue to sit still. If they did not pay attention, they would probably be really arrogant.
Of course, attracting attention does not mean taking action immediately. Overall, both Lenin and Trotsky still hope to restrain themselves and not to intensify the conflict, so they just made a verbal warning.
For the great powers, verbal warnings are equivalent to tickling. Now the warnings of the Bolsheviks are not worth mentioning in their eyes and do not need to be paid attention to at all. They use the mentality of adults to treat hairy children and regard the warnings of the Bolsheviks as paper for wiping their butts. It must be noted that this phenomenon is not the first time, nor will it be the last time. A major Eastern power that just stood up also made the same warning, and the great powers did not take it seriously that time.
When dealing with the great powers, if you want them to listen to the warning, the most correct way is to wave the iron fist at the right time, hit them hard on their proud faces, and knock out all the dog teeth in their mouths. It is best to kick them into their crotch. Only when they are swollen in their faces and kick their friends in pain can their IQ and hearing return to normal levels.
In short, you can only communicate with barbarians and robbers with your fists. Only by shocking them with iron fists can you gain the power of equal dialogue.
Fortunately, neither the mentor nor Trotsky were the kind of people who would not fight back and scold him. Although these two people prefer to reason, they would not bully him when they met an unreasonable person.
Nikola's method was completely useless. After the British expressed warnings and indignation through diplomatic channels, the Russian People's Committee on Diplomatic Affairs and the People's Committee on Diplomatic Affairs Chechelin responded to this, but there was no response.
Chechlin didn't say anything, and didn't even pay much attention to the British ambassador, as if he was completely unwilling to care about the British's warnings and anger. The British's interpretation of this was a bit strange.
"What does the Bolshevik mean?" The British Consul General in Simferopol asked Nikolai for advice.
Nikola smiled contemptuously and said calmly and confidently: "The Bolsheviks are scared!"
The Consul General humbly asked for advice: "How can I see it?"
Nikola took a sip of coffee and said proudly: "It's very simple. If they have a tough attitude, they should directly refute our protest. But they didn't do this. What does this mean? It means that the Bolsheviks are unsure!"
The Consul General thought about it and agreed to Nikola's statement. I'm afraid the Bolsheviks were just not confident. They were just afraid of offending the British government, otherwise they would at least have to fight back with their mouths.
Nikola nodded and continued to interpret: "The Bolsheviks are not confident, but they are afraid of being embarrassed, so they just pretend not to know and face the problem with an ostrich mentality, which is ridiculous!"
"So do we need to increase the protests and force them to submit?" the Consul General asked again.
"It's inappropriate to do this!" Nicholas shook his head, "We can't force polar bears to get angry. These savages are forced to do everything. We stop when we see it, and take advantage of it!"
The Consul General nodded and said comfortably: "It makes sense, but I can't wait to see Andrei Petrovic's expression tomorrow. Do you think I need to visit me?"
Nicholas knew that the Consul General was telling a joke. After several contacts with this guy, he knew that this guy was not very brave. With his courage, he was so brave that he could not even come up to watch the fun. He didn't even give advice from him to wake up the guy, maybe he would be fooled by someone.
However, after being joked by the Consul General, Nicholas couldn't help but want to see someone's joke. To be honest, someone ruined his good things in Sevastopol, and he remembered this account firmly in his heart! Although he only took a small advantage, he was somewhat breathing.
With this little joy, Nicholas fell asleep peacefully. This was the best night he slept after arriving in Crimea, and of course, the last night.
At eight o'clock in the morning, he was awakened by the noise outside. The sound of footsteps and screams were the most prominent of which was the angrily roar of the Consul General.
Nicholas was a little confused and didn't know what was going on. But as an excellent spy, he was still very alert. He took out his pistol from the bedside table at the first time, then walked to the window lightly, and looked out carefully.
This glance scared him. The yard of the Consulate General was filled with Russian soldiers carrying guns and ammunition. The Consul General in pajamas was trying to negotiate with the leading officer, but the other party's expression was full of impatientness, as if there was a possibility of an outbreak at any time.
"This is the British Consulate General! It is a diplomatic institution. It is protected by the Vienna Convention!" The Consul General shouted these words over and over again, and his dancing hands and feet looked like a big horse monkey.
However, the protests of the Consul General were of no use, and even the officers leading the team completely ignored his existence. He commanded his subordinates on his own: "Turn out all the people in the house, pay attention, there are counter-revolutionaries hidden in them. Be careful that they are stubbornly resisting... Don't worry, according to Comrade Andre's order, if the counter-revolutionaries dare to resist, they can be killed on the spot! Start!"
With the order of the leading officer, the Red Army soldiers dispersed instantly and penetrated like water like various corners of the Consulate General. Soon the staff and family members in the Consulate were coaxed into the courtyard like ducks.
Nicholas had a very sharp ear. Even though he was far away, he could hear the most critical name - Andre. Although there were many Andre among the Russians, there was probably only one who dared to rush into the diplomatic embassy and consulate openly.
At this moment, Nicholas was a little stunned. He thought of the assertion last night. Yesterday he was still preparing to joke, but who knew that someone was so fierce. Nicholas really couldn't figure it out. Does someone care about his future at all, don't care about the orders of his superiors, and are you ready to burn your body?
However, there was not much time left for Nicholas to think. The Red Army soldiers were rushing upstairs. If they continued to stand in the room stupidly, they would not be optimistic. After a little thought, he immediately took out his forged passport and some fake documents from the drawer, lit a match and prepared to burn it.
Dongdongdongdongdongdong!
The gate was beaten to the sound of the mountain, and the Russians' unique rough voice kept coming out: "Listen, listen, open the door immediately!"
"Open the door immediately, or we will smash it!"
Nicholas was completely unmoved, calmly shook his hands, and quickly ignited all the documents. Just as the paper turned into a ball of flame, and when all the evidence was about to be destroyed, the soldiers outside the door knocked open the door and pointed the black muzzle at Nicholas.
"Don't move, raise your hand!"
Nicholas glanced at the fake documents that had been transformed into ashes, and raised his hands gracefully, as if he was facing not a group of ferocious soldiers, but a group of sheep.
The soldier in charge looked at the photos in his hand, then looked at Nicholas's face, and smiled: "It's him, catch it!"
Several soldiers rushed up and instantly tied Nicholas into rice dumplings. During this period, Mr. Spy had no intention of resisting at all, and even cooperated very much. When he was taken downstairs and carried into the yard, the Consul General was still wasting his saliva in vain.
However, when this guy saw Nicholas, the expression on his face suddenly became a little dimmed. I don’t know if he was worried about Nicholas being arrested or complained that he had misheard the guy’s analysis.
"Why do you catch our people?" The Consul General suddenly raised his tone. He pointed at Nicholas and shouted: "Mr. Edward is a diplomat of our country and enjoys diplomatic immunity! You have no right to arrest him. I want to protest. I want to react to your superiors. This is a naked human being..."
"Save some saliva, Mr. Consul General!"
Just when the guy was most excited, Li Xiaofeng stepped onto the stage, and the crowds on both sides separated a road. The boy walked to the Consul General like stars holding the moon and looked at him with contempt.
"You are Andre Petrovic?" the Consul General asked with his eyes narrowed.
"Know me?" Li Xiaofeng smiled and suddenly asked, "This is easy. Have you received the ultimatum I gave you yesterday?"
The Consul General ignored it and said to himself: "This is the British Consul General in Simferopol, which is protected by international conventions..."
Li Xiaofeng was not interested in hearing these unnutritional words. He focused on Nicholas. After the guy finished speaking, he said lightly: "Of course the Soviets and the People's Committee are willing to respect and abide by international conventions..."
The Consul General seemed to feel that he had found the target and immediately interrupted: "Since that's the case, how do you explain what happened just now and why you arrested..."
Li Xiaofeng only stretched out one finger to stop the guy's noise. He asked in a sarcastic tone: "Peoplewholiveinglasshouseshouldn'tthrowstone."
The Consul General was choked by someone's sudden English because the sentence means "Don't throw stones around in the glass house at home." In layman's terms, it means that when you are all shit, you are not qualified to think that others are dirty.
Why did Li Xiaofeng say that? It’s very simple. Don’t you British people use international conventions to make things happen? Don’t you use diplomatic immunity as a protective umbrella? But don’t forget that diplomatic immunity and the Vienna Convention are only useful for countries that establish diplomatic relations. Take the example of later generations as an example. Do you, Americans dare to go to North Korea to complain? Look at Jin San, don’t put them in a cage and work hard to reform!
The same is true now. The British government did not recognize the legitimacy of the Soviets and the People's Committee. Instead, it has been said that the Ufa Provisional Government and the newly established so-called new constitutional committee have legitimacy. What kind of diplomatic immunity do you have to talk about with the "illegal" government?
That is, the Bolsheviks had fantasies before and did not want to have a complete rupture with the Allies Group. Then they still made trouble. If you really don’t like you, you will choke you to death with just one sentence - we have no diplomatic relations, you have no diplomatic immunity. I don’t recognize the legitimacy of your embassy or consulate!
However, as a diplomat, the first one is to have thick-skinned face, and the second one is to have the ability to turn black and white into a tantrum. To be honest, the only thing that does not have this quality is the verbal department of a harmonious country in the future, which often tricks one's own people, often pulls his legs, and often speaks from other people's standpoints. What's even more terrifying is that these grandchildren are not ashamed but proud, and they can't blame the people for sending their grandchildren calcium tablets.
At least the basic quality of this British Consul General is still qualified: "That is your internal affairs problem. I only know that this is the British Consulate General, protected by diplomatic conventions. If you do not correct your mistakes immediately, it will cause great diplomatic disputes, and you will bear all responsibilities at that time!"
However, Li Xiaofeng was also confident. Xiao Si had already communicated with him and asked him to make trouble casually. The bigger the storm, the better. So he did not quarrel with this guy, and directly ordered people to arrest him: "Catch all foreign spies who illegally entered the country and engage in anti-government and counter-revolutionary activities, especially this person!" As he said that, he pointed to the British Consul General who was unyielding and added: "If there are foreign spies and counter-revolutionaries who resist stubbornly, you can kill them on the spot!"
Originally, the British Consul General was going to continue to speak vernacularly and nonsense, but he could not have imagined that someone was so tough and awesome. Before he could react, he was pressed on the spot by a group of soldiers and tied up tightly.
"I really admire your courage!"
Nicholas sat proudly in the interrogation room, looking at Li Xiaofeng with a proud and detached attitude, as if he was the winner.
Li Xiaofeng ignored him and just touched his chin and looked at the proud British man. His pride towards this guy was a little confused. Could it be that John Niu was ill in his brain and could not figure out the situation even when he died?
Li Xiaofeng didn't say anything, which made Nichola even more proud. He raised his chin and said proudly: "It's too late for you to regret it now. I have to say that fools like you are really rare. They will actually act impulsively. You can be happy for a moment, but you will regret it for a lifetime!"
Speaking of this, Nicholas licked his lips impatiently and said excitedly: "You're done, you will never have any political future again... Maybe you will be arrested after walking out of this interrogation room, maybe you will be shot and exiled... Haha, this is the end of your own power!"
After this guy finished talking, Li Xiaofeng shook his head and said, "Is this the mentally ill person much more joy?"
Nicholas was stunned for a moment, squinted her eyes and asked, "What does it mean?"
Li Xiaofeng pointed his temples and smiled and said, "I mean it is very simple. You are sick here. You can't even figure out the reality!"
Nicholas sneered: "It's you who can't figure out the reality! You..."
Li Xiaofeng quickly stopped this guy. He was really not interested in listening to crazy words, "Do you think I'm acting irritable? Idiot, you British people are so self-righteous, really think we will let you do whatever you want, really think we don't dare to turn against each other? You underestimate us Bolsheviks too much... Let me tell you this, your good days are over!"
Nicholas was stunned, his face full of shock. His throat squirmed a few times before screaming: "This is impossible!"
Li Xiaofeng smiled: "There is nothing impossible. Mr. Nicholas, no matter whether you call this name or not, I just want to tell you that you are dead!"
Nicholas was immediately panicked. His pride and conceit just now were completely shattered. He was like a drowning man and began to struggle hysterically: "I can't, I destroyed everything, you have no evidence!"
"evidence?"
Li Xiaofeng smiled, shook his head and stood up, and said in a tone of pity and mocking, "I have to say that you are really naive, pitiful... You think that if you destroy the so-called evidence, everything will be fine, and we will have no way to deal with you... Poor idiot, don't you know that the so-called evidence is not important at all in front of the state machine! Just like you forged documents and fake documents, I can also forge piles of evidence to send you on your way... Goodbye, Mr. Nicholas, it's best to think about whether there are any last words before you set off, you don't have much time!"
