Beiyang 1917

"Please listen to my explanation. According to your instructions, all the milk rations in the Kremlin are given to children in hospitals and maternity and child care institutions. The milk in the mug on your table is the captain of the guard Vasily I brought you back from Tsaritsyn, not our Moscow rations!" The guard replied with a straight chest, that the Bolsheviks of this era respect and admire their leaders, but they are by no means blind and servile.

Ulyanov was taken aback when he heard the words, and a warm current surged in his heart. His captain of the guard, Vasily, was really caring, but at this moment, Gorky was around, and he really couldn't just drink the half-bottle milk quietly. Thinking of this , Ulyanov waved the guard away.

Turning around, he walked up to Maxim Gorky with a half-bottle of milk that was still warm, and walked up to Maxim Gorky with a smile, put it on the tea table in front of him, and grabbed the teacup from Gorky's hand, and continued,

"Aleksey Maxievich, Moscow's food rationing is tight, you rarely come here, I really have nothing to entertain you, you drank the milk, I know you don't have high requirements for life, But anyway, you are an intellectual yourself, so you have to pay attention to nutrition!"

Gorky was in a hurry to save Kankinsky at the moment, but he had no time to be polite to Ulyanov. The writer grabbed the tea mug on the coffee table and returned half the mug of warm beef After drinking milk, he wiped his mouth and put the teacup on the tea table, his old face turned reddish, the last time he drank milk must have been half a year ago.

"How is it, the taste is not bad?" Ulyanov stood in front of Gorky and said with a smile.

"Thank you for your milk, but Comrade Ulyanov, time is running out, I dare to guarantee with my life that Kanjinsky is just a painter and artist professor, definitely not an enemy of the Soviets, he just said nothing If it is specific, it is also an inadvertent mistake. He has no knowledge or interest in politics at all.

Besides, if you talk about rumors, news that the Red Army lost more than 20 people in Ufa and was wiped out by the coalition forces is spreading all over the streets of Moscow at the moment. Watch out for rumor spreaders! "Comrade Maxim was obviously in a hurry.

Nima, good things don't go out, bad things spread thousands of miles, the Ufa coalition army's move is too bad, they don't even need to send planes to drop leaflets, they just send news telegrams to the major media, this is confusing and disturbing the public, and , once the other party's so-called rumors are proven to be true for the first time, in the future the other party will spread rumors and others will believe it. This trick is really poisonous!

"Okay, Alexey Maximovich, I'll ask later, as long as the person is in the hands of the Cheka and there are no major problems, your landlord will be able to go home tomorrow morning at the latest. Already?" Ulyanov's thoughts had already returned to the meeting room, and he really didn't have the time to cough with Gorky right now.

"That can't be done, Ulyanov, Cheka interrogation methods are endless. How can intellectuals and artists like Vasily Kankinsky have seen this before. If there is a delay, I won't wait for you to ask, Kankins Ji couldn't stand the crime, ranging from being beaten to death in a prison cell, to being tortured to death, and it's too late for you to save him!"

Gorky yelled anxiously, "I'll wait for your reply here. If the Cheka doesn't release the Kankinsky family, I will never leave. You can just arrest me too! I'm serious!"

"Hey, Aleksey Maximovich, you are such a quick-tempered person, then wait a minute, I'll make a call!" Ulyanov had no choice but to give in, and this guy turned back to the meeting In front of the table, he picked up the phone on the table and said into the microphone,

"I'm Ulyanov, pick up Dzerzhinsky for me, right now! I'll be waiting!" Ulyanov covered the microphone, turned around and signaled Gorky to sit down and rest one time.

"Dzerzhinsky? I'm Ulyanov, check for me, did the Cheka arrest a man named Vasily Kankinsky this evening, I'll wait!" Uri said Yanov went back to his chair and sat down, while signaling Gorky not to worry. Obviously, Dzerzhinsky on the other end of the phone really didn't know about this, so he had to call someone to ask someone to find out.

Not long after, Dzerzhinsky apparently returned to the phone, "Yes, he is the one who came back from Munich... yes yes, abstract painter, yes, professor of fine arts at Moscow State University, yes, this is the man, you Just ask, if there is no problem, release him immediately, and send him home, you should have a good attitude!"

Ulyanov frowned and said, Dzerzhinsky's voice came from the receiver,

"The Cheka doesn't know that this Kankinsky is Gorky's landlord. His family doesn't live in the same house as Gorky. This Kankinsky has several properties in Moscow, all of which were handed down from his ancestors. His parents' knowledge Molecular background, but his grandmother’s lineage is from the Russian aristocracy, somehow the Cheka arrested him while chasing rumors on the street... I really don’t know about this.”

"It's useless to say so much. Tell your people to release them quickly. I will send them home tonight. Don't lose a single hair. Don't make troubles if you have nothing to do in the future. The Bolsheviks must also have painters who understand art. , That's it, what? Just received a call back from the other party? No need to send it over, I'll be here right away, and you have to deal with Kanjinski's affairs! Yes! That's it!"

Ulyanov put down the phone, got up, walked quickly to Gorky, and said with a smile, "It's all right, so your landlord Vasily Kankinsky doesn't live on the same floor as you, don't worry, the Cheka will release him immediately." , you hurry back and wait to see him, by the way, Alexey Maximovich, but what should I say, those friends of yours should really be more careful, otherwise such things will happen again in the future, maybe I can't help it!"

"Thank you, Comrade Ulyanov, although I do not agree with the current policies and practices of the Russian Central Committee, please believe that my friends and I are the purest patriots and will never betray our motherland and our country. For the benefit of the people, I will not disturb your busy work! Farewell!" Gorky achieved his goal of saving lives, and seeing Ulyanov's preoccupied appearance, he stood up and said goodbye.

Ulyanov rang the bell to call the guards to send Gorky away, while he hurried towards the large conference room and combat command room at the other end of the corridor.
