459 Ways
Mironov was very conflicted. No one wanted to die, so he was naturally no exception. But this time, the one who saved him was the Bolsheviks, and it was also the more evil department of the Bolsheviks.
He had no fondness for Cheka and the spy. From the bottom of his heart, he despised and disliked these despicable villains. But fate played a big joke with him. After a while, he actually fell into the hands of these despicable villains, and the other party's words also meant to save his life and give him another chance.
For this pie that fell from the sky, Mironov first thought of it, was this a conspiracy of Cheka? Do these damn spies want to use him to make trouble to achieve the goal of eliminating dissidents?
This idea is not unreasonable. Although Mironov is naive, he is not stupid. He has also heard of the struggle between the Trotskyists and the Leninists within the Bolsheviks. During the time when he defected, the two sides fought hard. Now they are probably already in full swing, right?
The struggle has become fierce, and naturally any means can be used. Mironov suspects that a certain immortal uses him to throw dirty water on the Trotskyists, such as admitting that defection is persecuted by the Trotskyists or the Trotskyists’ conspiracy.
If it were someone else, I would probably save my life at all costs, but Mironov was different. He was the kind of person who would rather lose his life than lose his principles. It was impossible to use him to engage in conspiracy and frame-up.
"I'm not interested in asking you to prove anything." Li Xiaofeng sighed. He was speechless about Mironov's imagination. It would be a pity that he would not write novels with such a rich imagination.
Of course, Li Xiaofeng is more funny. Just like you, Mironov, you want to be a tainted witness? You don’t pee and take a look at yourself. Bah!
Mironov was stunned for a moment, curled his lips and said, "Then don't expect me to say good things to Stalin, Budoni and Voroshilov. I will remember those three bastards for the rest of my life!"
"You can rest assured about this," Li Xiaofeng sighed again, "I don't plan to let you excuse them against your will, nor will I force you to say good things for them. In fact, if you understand something, you should know that my relationship with Stalin is not very good!"
Mironov snorted and sneered: "I don't think it's just a bad thing. It's like water and fire! I know, you are Sverdlov's man!"
Li Xiaofeng really wanted to tell Mironov that he was not Sverdlov's younger brother. He was a brother and a brother, but he still respected this brother. But after opening his mouth, he gave up on explaining, why bother? If you have any explanation for someone else, let him go!
"Since that's the case, what else do you have to hesitate?" Li Xiaofeng asked with a smile.
Mironov looked at him for a long time. It seemed that he was doing his final consideration, and after a long time he said, "I still have two questions that have not been explained. If you can't give me a perfect explanation, I would rather die than cooperate with you?"
Li Xiaofeng smiled slightly and said, "You ask!"
Mironov lowered his head and pondered for a moment, then raised his head and asked solemnly: "First of all, I want to know, what do you want me to do?"
Li Xiaofeng smiled again: "Hasn't I said it? I personally think you still have a certain value to the revolution. I want you to bring out this value!"
Mironov asked, "What's the value?"
"Military value," Li Xiaofeng explained in detail: "In my opinion, you still have a certain military talent, at least much better than Budonnie and Voroshilov. It's a pity to let you die like this!"
Although Mironov had some understanding before, he still felt quite surprised when a fairy told him that he had a fancy to his military talent. Why? Because Mironov felt that he had not shown much outstanding achievements since he participated in the revolution and commanded the troops to fight, that is, he showed his face in the battle to encircle and annihilate the Czech Legion. The rest of the time he could only be considered a so-called so-called.
But now a big director said to him, a passerby who plays a supporting role, "You have the potential to become a movie hero, I'm optimistic about you!" This will somewhat make him feel absurd.
"You don't have to worry about whether this is absurd or not," Li Xiaofeng said, "For you, the most important thing is a chance. If you don't seize this opportunity, you will be dead. As for my vision of people, it is my personal problem and has nothing to do with you!"
"Okay!" Mironov recognized the explanation of a certain immortal, but he continued to ask: "The second question is also the last question. Even if you appreciate my military talent, then I want to ask you, how do you restore my work? If I remember correctly, I am now the most wanted prisoner you are now. How do you plan to explain to Lenin and the Central Committee?"
Li Xiaofeng looked at Mironov and showed a meaningful smile, "You really surprised me. Why do you care about this issue? Does it have anything to do with you? How can I cleanse your crimes, it's all my business!"
"Why is that just your business?" Mironov emphasized angrily, "I am an honest person, I refuse lies! If you plan to make up a series of lies to excuse me, then I can only say no!"
Li Xiaofeng asked with interest: "Say no? Do you still don't know your situation?"
Mironov roared, "I know very well! But this is my principle!"
Li Xiaofeng shrugged and said, "It's up to you, you're asking for trouble anyway. But I must tell you that there is no lie at all, that's impossible. Even if you are shameless and reluctant to face, Comrade Lenin, Comrade Trotsky and other comrades in the Central Committee will still be shameful!"
"What do you mean?" Mironov asked viciously.
"I mean very simple!" Li Xiaofeng said with a smile, "This matter is no longer just your personal problem, it has already involved the interests of the Party and the Soviets. Don't tell me, you don't know how bad the impact of your previous defection was!"
"I know very well, and I am also prepared to be responsible for it and pay the price!" Mironov stressed angrily.
"I don't think you know it!" Li Xiaofeng suddenly put away his smile and mercilessly said: "You guy is so naive that you are laughable in politics. And your thinking is extremely simple. To put it bluntly, it's just a stubborn!"
He stopped Mironov from speaking and said sharply: "You always think things are simple, and you always think that the world is either black or white. But I want to tell you that you are wrong. Your actions that you think are just and noble are just sabotaging, which has caused a heavy blow to the revolution! If you continue to do so, you will have a dead end!"
"I tell you!" Li Xiaofeng said viciously, "Put your naive thoughts. This will not only kill you, but also hurt the revolution and other innocent people. Take your last defection as an example. Do you know how many innocent people are implicated by you? Many of these people are good men who admire you, trust you, and sacrifice their lives with you, but you abandoned them very naively and sent them to the gates of hell... And now, you still don't repent and have to do your own things! I tell you Mironov, you are not noble at all, but extremely selfish!"
Mironov was stunned. He had always considered his own ideals and how to realize his ideals. For those who followed him and trusted him, he did not care at all, but he had never respected their ideas, nor did he listen to their opinions. He took the trust of these followers for granted.
But now Li Xiaofeng told him that his reckless actions caused great harm to those people, which made him feel a little guilty. But just these things cannot change Mironov:
"That's also because you deliberately implicated innocent people. I do things one by one!" Mironov said stubbornly.
"Innocent?" Li Xiaofeng smiled evilly and asked, "In terms of logical relationships, you defected. Are your friends and subordinates unquestionable? Normal people will doubt their loyalty, and to be polite, they have not assumed the responsibility of a qualified friend or subordinate, and have not discovered your counter-revolutionary tendencies as soon as possible! There is no persuasion or stopping you! The state-owned country and the law have family rules. What would you do if it were?"
Mironov stopped talking, but Li Xiaofeng did not let him go: "You must atone for your sins and must compensate those who are implicated in the most practical way. This is what you owe them!"
Mironov didn't say anything for a long time, which shows how entangled he was. However, when he spoke again, Li Xiaofeng knew that he had succeeded.
"What do you want me to do?" Mironov asked in frustration.
Li Xiaofeng smiled and said, "It's very simple. First of all, you have to write a detailed and profound letter of remorse, deeply criticizing your previous behavior... I warn you that this thing is not the kind of thing that goes through the motions. You'd better tell the truth, the deeper the better. I will submit this letter of remorse to Comrade Lenin and the Central Committee. If they acknowledge your remorse, then they will move to the next step!"
Mironov asked curiously: "What steps?"
"Cleaning your guilt!" Li Xiaofeng said calmly.
"Cleaning the blame?" Mironov was confused. Since he wanted to cleanse the blame, what crime would he regret? Isn't this a brainless person?
"On the surface, the blame is cleared!" Li Xiaofeng further explained, "Your behavior is too bad. Without a reasonable explanation, you must be held accountable. To be honest, it is enough to be shot. But I have said before that it is a pity to kill you, so I must find a way to make you guilty and meritorious!"
In fact, Li Xiaofeng did not say it thoroughly. It is not impossible to make meritorious service with guilt, but there is a problem. The first problem is the sentiment of the Central Committee. Mironov defected and slapped the Central Committee in the face, turning the Bolsheviks into a world-wide joke. Now that he has caught this bastard, Ming Zhengdian killed him and vented his anger. I believe the Central Committee will not have any opinions.
There are definitely many people who cannot kill Mironov in the Central Committee. At least Stalin and his group of friends don’t like this annoying guy alive.
Now, Li Xiaofeng does not want to kill him. If he wants to keep Mironov for guilt and make meritorious service, it will inevitably make some people in the Central Committee unhappy, and will also make another part feel embarrassed and hold back. Therefore, the Central Committee must be happy and must give the Central Committee a step.
Naturally, we should give a reasonable explanation for Mironov's defection - Li Xiaofeng's opinion on this is not to defect, but to go deep into the tiger's den to inquire about information. If we are going to an undercover agent, then it is naturally irreproachable. We even have to praise it. After the undercover agent is completed, we will naturally come back. It is also a counterattack against the media that have sarcastically and ridiculed the Bolsheviks before.
"Is this okay?" Mironov was surprised, and immediately his temper came back: "Isn't this nonsense and openly fake?"
"Of course not!" Li Xiaofeng immediately corrected, "This is just external publicity, do you understand? Internally, both Comrade Lenin and the Central Committee have seen your letter of repentance and know what is going on."
Mironov hesitated. This method was not bad, but too good. For him, it was the solution with the least consequences. He took care of the emotions of the Central Committee and made a review. Moreover, the friends and brothers involved in him could also clear away the grievances, which was simply a win-win situation.
Logically, he should be happy about this, but Mironov was frightened. As a sinner, how could he receive such preferential treatment?
Li Xiaofeng smiled and said, "I have said it many times. Killing you is the easiest and meaningless way of punishment. It is more meaningful to keep you to fight the White Army, sacrifice your head and blood for the revolution, and to atone for the sins!"
Mironov was silent again, but this time was different from before. It was because of suspicion, but now it was because of touch. This may be the greatest help from others who have helped him in his life. It is not accurate to describe it as a life-saving grace, and it can be called a recreation of grace.
As the saying goes, he is not a heartless person. The only thing he can do is to remember the kindness of a certain immortal, remember it firmly in his heart, and then sacrifice his life to repay the other party's trust.
"Tell me, what do you want me to do?" Mironov asked calmly.
Li Xiaofeng nodded slightly, and said straight to the point: "I will hand over the only cavalry brigade of the East Prussian People's Liberation Army to you for command. I want you to give full play to the role of cavalry and delay Pisusky's troops in the Podrache area so that they cannot return to Warsaw quickly!"
Mironov nodded and asked, "That's all?"
Li Xiaofeng was a little surprised because this task was not very simple. Why do you say so? Because the situation on the battlefield had some changes that were not as expected. After the Polish army that was fighting in Warsaw was surrounded, Bisusky's reaction was not to wait and see, but to order his own subordinates to speed up their pace toward Warsaw. It seemed that he planned to fight a vigorous battle to defend Warsaw and defeat the invading East Prussian People's Liberation Army under the city of Warsaw.
The Jews did not have the ability to chew up Warsaw. Even if Bisusky's main force did not come back, it would be very difficult. Once Bisusky's main force entered Warsaw, it would be a complete stop. Therefore, a force must be sent to block Bisusky's main force, so that they could not join the Warsaw defenders, and also gain time to resolve the Polish troops in the encirclement.
No matter what, Pisuski's main force was not hurt, and there were still 40,000 to 50,000 troops. It was really difficult to complete this blocking mission with a cavalry brigade. Even Ubolevic and Triandafilov felt that it was too difficult, and they were not sure.
But now, Mironov agreed immediately, and judging from his attitude, he didn't think the task was too difficult. He seemed to feel that he still had enough energy after completing this task.
To be honest, Li Xiaofeng was also a little scared at this time. He was very suspicious of history as a joke on himself. If he was entrusted with someone, the fun would be great. But now he could not regret it, so he could only bite the bullet and say: "After completing the hysteresis and blocking missions, your cavalry troops can develop to Western Ukraine and Belarus, and can carry out activities in the above-mentioned areas. It is best to find a way to strengthen the team. Next, we will liberate Ukraine and Belarus..."
"No problem!" Mironov accepted the order calmly and asked again: "Is there any other order?"
Li Xiaofeng looked at the very personality of the cavalry general at the last time and said frankly: "There will be no other orders. You should write a book of remorse, if Comrade Lenin does not agree..."
Mironov smiled and said, "That's simple for me, it's nothing more than just one death!"
Li Xiaofeng's mouth twitched, expressing his sincere admiration for the person who was too nervous, but he is still sure of this matter. In history, this person who was able to regain the trust of the Bolsheviks is still OK.
"The last one," Li Xiaofeng took a deep breath and said, "I will send Comrade Burganing to assist and cooperate with you in carrying out your work. He will supervise your actions. Do you have any objections to this?"
Mironov smiled and asked back, "Supervisor?"
Li Xiaofeng nodded calmly: "That's right, but he will not interfere with your military command!"
To be honest, Li Xiaofeng was really a little worried about this. No one could figure out Mironov's bad temper. If this guy exploded, the matter would be over. But what surprised him was that the first time he did not exploded, but instead smiled self-deprecatingly: "It's understandable that anyone would send someone to supervise me, but you can say that it was ahead, which surprised me! It seems that you are not a villain who only knows conspiracy!"
This evaluation made Li Xiaofeng laugh and cry, but he was too lazy to bother with this rectum. After waving his hand to slap the rectum, he raised his face and ordered: "Please come in..." (To be continued...)
