Unfortunately, this reason cannot be expressed. At least Li Xiaofeng dared not speak it openly, so he had to raise his arguments.

"The sages of ancient China once said, do not do to others what they do not want others to do to their own deeds. I agree with this sentence!" A fairy pretended to be very touching and said stingy: "I love my motherland, and I hope it will be prosperous, democratic and civilized! Tsarist Russia seems powerful, but this power is based on violence and plunder. If it is recognized that these chauvinistic and colonialist behaviors are correct, then it is indirectly recognized that when my motherland meets a stronger enemy, it is natural to be enslaved and plundered! Do you think this is reasonable?"

Li Xiaofeng spread his hands and said sensationally: "So I understand and sympathize with the struggle for freedom and liberation by the enslaved weak nations, and am willing to acknowledge the legitimacy of this struggle. Since you are not tolerant of Russia, why should you force you and us together? This is why I love my motherland, and I am delighted to see the arrival of the revolutionary tide, which is not at all contradictory!"

The middle-aged man was speechless and he could not refute the other party's arguments at all. If accusing the other party of being wrong, then he would openly agree to the legitimacy of the Tsar's rule over Finland, that is, to admit that Finland's struggle for independence was completely unreasonable. For a patriot like him who loves his motherland, this was completely unacceptable; but if he agreed to the other party's opinion, it would be equivalent to admitting that revolution was a patriotic action, which was completely unacceptable to him who disliked the revolution.

For a moment, the middle-aged man fell into a dilemma, and after a long time he sighed, "I have to say that you are the best at sophistry among the young people I have ever met! Although I can't refute you, I still don't agree with the kind of high-profile singing under the banner of revolution, but ultimately doing something that harms the interests of his motherland. That's so shameful!"

Li Xiaofeng smiled slightly, and he naturally heard that the other party was ridiculing him. He was more interested in this middle-aged soldier who had never lived for life. Anyway, he was bored on the road, and finding someone to argue was a pastime.

"What you mean is that for the sake of Russia's interests, we Russians should take it as a matter of course to sacrifice Finland's interests and let you continue to stay under the rule of the empire. This is not a high-profile or shameless, right?" Li Xiaofeng said with a smile. "If the Finns are as enlightened as you, I think the officials of the Provisional Government will be very happy."

The middle-aged man immediately said, "I don't mean that!"

"What do you mean?" Li Xiaofeng asked back, "Isn't this very consistent with your argument? Patriotism should safeguard national interests without hesitation, and it is natural to sacrifice the legitimate rights and interests of some vulnerable people."

Without waiting for the middle-aged man to interrupt, Li Xiaofeng ridiculed without hesitation: "So I sincerely ask you, sir, to fulfill my patriotism, please convince those separatists who incite Finland independence and let them make glorious and great sacrifices to safeguard Russia's interests!"

"This...this..." The middle-aged man really didn't know how to answer.

Li Xiaofeng smiled, laughing and beating the dog in the water: "You don't have to make things difficult. As a vested interest, it is natural for you to hate revolution, and you don't have to feel embarrassed about it. There are a lot of people in the carriage outside who hold the same view as you, even more intense than your attitude. The only thing I want to tell you is not to tie your attitude towards protecting your own interests against revolution with any bullshit patriotism. That is really boring, it will only make you look shameless and hypocritical."

The middle-aged man was completely stupid and stared at Li Xiaofeng blankly, as if he had seen some monster. After a long time, he spoke again: "Do you think I am really a person who does not give up any means for his own benefit?"

Li Xiaofeng blinked and smiled, "No! You should say that you are the kind of person who is more restrained and sober among the vested interest groups. You hate revolution, which comes from the heart, but you are not like others, while opposing revolution without any scruples. To be honest, this is rare. This is why I have to talk to you for so long. If it were those outside, I wouldn't have time to deal with it!"

The middle-aged man smiled bitterly and shook his head. The other party's attitude of talking to you that I respect you only made him very frustrated. What's even more uncomfortable is that he had to admit that the other party's words had some truth and could give him a lot of inspiration, making him want to continue talking from the bottom of his heart. If anyone had to talk to someone he hated, he would always be confused.

"You are very proud!" the middle-aged man thought for a while before saying again, "I want to know how proud you view the current dilemma of Russia. I am frankly frank, this revolution has completely chaotic Russia. In the current situation of the enemy, I am not optimistic about Russia's future at all!"

I want to surround Wei and save Zhao, but I’m not stupid!

Li Xiaofeng smiled secretly and retorted: "You are a Finnish. You are not optimistic about Russia's future, or you are superficial and unable to see Russia's bright future, which is normal!"

The middle-aged man looked at a fairy with depression. The other party's silly and naive mocking attitude made him very annoyed: "Sir, I hate to express my own opinions sincerely. I like to discuss and exchange opinions with you. I am not interested in playing word games!"

"I'm not interested in playing word games either!" Li Xiaofeng was tougher than him. "You just want to say that the revolution messed up Russia. If Russia finally suffered a shameful failure, then the revolution would be responsible for it, right?"

Although middle-aged man was a little reluctant, he still nodded solemnly.

Li Xiaofeng immediately sneered: "That's why I say you are short-sighted. Tsarist Russia has long been internal and external troubles. In 1905, it stood on the edge of the cliff, but Stolepin's reforms delayed its collapse. It's like giving a terminally ill patient a dose of heart-warming agent. Although he survived for a while, the fate of death could not be reversed. This war greatly accelerated the process... It's not that the revolution messed up Russia, but that Russia was already very chaotic and terrible, and his destruction was just a fuse. And revolution was just this fuse!"

Seeing the middle-aged man fall into deep thought, Li Xiaofeng continued: "The collapse of the Tsarist system is inevitable. Revolution is just to meet the requirements of the times. If you want to find someone responsible for the bad situation in Russia, it is definitely not a revolution, but the objects of the revolution. Don't you think they should be responsible for the chaos in this country?"
