Chapter 1377 Bribery
The opportunity that Malenkov and others were waiting for soon emerged. On July 15, 1921, they were eager to express their loyalty to the financial backers to gain more support, and based on their own regime and the natural hostility of the Russian Labor Party, the Government of the People's Republic of Ukraine Try to conduct a military test on Russia this year.
Regardless of whether from the institutional level, the historical grievances between Ukraine and Russia, or the differences in independence and unity, the government of the People's Republic of Ukraine cannot always remain indifferent to Russia.
Even though Russia's strength is far greater than Ukraine, the Ukrainian People's Republic of China's government cannot choose to sit still and wait for death. Moreover, the supportive attitude of imperialist powers such as Germany, Austria, Britain and France towards Ukraine has also made the Ukrainian government stronger in its anti-Russia confidence.
City of Westcheslav.
In the mayor's office, Firatov is training or scolding the anti-working group of Sicheslav.
"Leonid, you idiot! I asked you to arrest the Labor Party, but what did you do when you ran to the barracks? Do you know that General Malelai called my office directly?"
Faced with Feratov's questioning, Leonid said aggrievedly: "Mr. Mayor, I don't want to run to the barracks, but we have received information that some officers and soldiers of the Labor Party and the 37th Division in this city may be We have been colluded, so our anti-working team has to enter the military camp to investigate this matter for the safety of the city of Westcheslav."
Mayor Firatov pressed his finger against Leonid's shoulder and asked gritted his teeth, "Have you caught that person?"
"No...no..." Leonid said stutteringly: "As soon as we entered the garrison of the 163rd Regiment of the 37th Division, we were beaten out by those soldiers. For this reason, several brothers have been killed. Injured."
Firatov: "Bah, you deserve it. I have emphasized this in my opinion. If you want to investigate, check those who have no background. You won't think that the big-headed soldiers are easy to bully!"
"The army, where banditry is born, has always been loyal and has serious groups. Do you think of their superior officers as a decoration? Maybe they have clear internal hierarchies, but once they face outsiders, they will inevitably be consistent with the outside world."
The Ukrainian government army, which is the puppet army called by the Labor Party, is actually quite similar to what Mayor Firatov said. Perhaps some troops are disciplined and have good work style, but this rare team is probably not found in the entire Ukraine. One.
Nowadays, many of the Ukrainian government forces are incorporated gangsters. After all, when political turmoil caused by the First World War, the forces of the third-rate and nine sects were also the easiest to emerge.
For these forces, the Ukrainian government adopted a strategy of focusing on Zhao'an.
Of course, if we investigate the military of Ukraine's neighboring countries, including the Russian Labor Party's army, the real situation will definitely be unsatisfactory.
If you really need to carefully screen, I am afraid that the discipline of the East African Defense Forces will be ranked first. After all, Ernst had a certain soldier in his previous life as a reference object. Ernst had a high requirement for the army.
But even so, the discipline of the East African Defense Forces is still very problematic, especially some colonial garrisons.
For example, Togoland, New Guinea, and the Isthmus of the East African troops in the colonies of East Africa were punished one by one, but it was really untenable to engage in colonialism without being cruel.
Firatov said: "It's too late to say anything now. We must not touch the army. After all, they are not in the same system as us. Even if there is a problem, the military will handle it themselves. , You have the time to go to factories and railways to check out. Anyone with discerning eyes knows that there are big problems in these places."
Leonid explained: "Those factory owners, or officials of the railway system, are not necessarily better than the army. At the beginning of this year, our operations at the steel plant were complained by Mr. Ravl, saying that it had interfered with his factory operations. Finally, Still left alone…”
In Ukraine, a country where bureaucracy is prevalent, it is obviously not easy to deal with factories and business owners. They are intricately linked with the officials of West Cheslav City, forming a tight and complex network.
Moreover, since Ukraine's independence, the political system it actually implemented is a republic, which is a typical capitalist country. The capitalist's right to speak has been greatly improved. At present, many of the Ukrainian high-level governments are from large capitalists.
Feratov chose to ignore Leonid's complaints, saying: "Now, the government is obviously planning to cause trouble for Russia, and the possibility of direct military conflicts or even wars between the two countries will not be ruled out."
"As an important transportation hub and military fortress near the border, I will ensure that in the next few months, there will be no large-scale Labor activities in the city of West Cheslav."
"Otherwise, if the military and national affairs are delayed, everyone will not be able to get better. Of course, I also know the difficulty of your work now."
"This is how I will talk to the top leaders of factories, railways and other enterprises and systems in person to let them understand our work. After all, they can't escape any big moves that the Labor Party makes in West Cheslav."
"At the same time, I will give your group more authority and funds. Not to mention the more, within these three months, I will keep an eye on the important places and areas of West Cheslav. Once the Labor Party organization is determined, I will immediately take them. Eliminate in the bud."
The struggle between the West Cheslav Municipal Government and the Labor Party organization can be said to be complementary. In the past, West Cheslav City actually achieved outstanding results in anti-work.
After all, the Labor Party organization in Westcheslav City did not have enough experience at the beginning, so it was prone to make various mistakes, which led to the exposure of organizational members.
However, after several rounds of attacks by the West Cheslav Municipal Government, the Labor Party organization in West Cheslav City has also gained experience and growth, and its activities have completely turned underground and its structure has become increasingly rigorous.
It can be said that under the "training" of the Anti-Professional Group in West Cheslav City, the Labor Party organization in West Cheslav City has matured rapidly.
This is also the reason why Leonid, the Labor Party member's eyes, the executioner, the Yekaterinoslav war criminal... is becoming increasingly difficult to carry out work.
After all, Leonid himself was not a professional intelligence officer. He was able to become the leader of the anti-working group in Westcheslav City due to the "appreciation" of Mayor Firatov.
The two are actually distant relatives. Of course, Fratov was able to get Leonid to power. Obviously, Leonid also has personal abilities, such as being careful, loyal, and more flexible in mind.
After Feratov became the mayor of Westcheslav, he naturally had to vigorously provoke his confidants, and relatives were naturally the best choice.
However, nepotism must also be aware of ability. Among Feratov's relatives, those who have the ability to get along with their relationship are actually not inferior to Feratov. For example, Feratov's brother is the highest Rada MP in Ukraine, that is, Ukraine Members of Congress, his younger brother is in charge of the family industry. Excluding these people, most of the others are crooked or not good at political work.
Therefore, Leonid can become Feratov's confidant, and he is less loyal than him than him.
In the next few days, the city of Westcheslav opened martial law across the city. With the endorsement of the mayor, Leonid believed that since it was difficult to search for the Labor Party, it might be possible to simply prohibit gatherings in some public places. Have unexpected results.
Especially for people who discuss politics in public and have suspicious identities, what is considered "suspicious"? According to Leonid's instructions to his subordinates, it is the poor. If a group of poor people gather together, it is impossible to be a good thing.
In short, Leonid's idea is "people can behave in appearance". He is very clear that most Labor members live very simple, and he does not understand the situation of the Labor Party in Russia, but Labor organizations in other parts of Europe, can Not turning over yet!
Of course, what if they turn over, what will Leonid do? As for Leonid's own situation, he knew very well that if something went wrong in the city of Westcheslav, he would definitely be the first to be hung up by the Labor Party organization to parade in the streets.
Southeast of Westcheslav city, the Opishinya Tavern next to the Dnieper River Pier.
Two arrogant policemen walked to this low-end tavern that focuses on dock workers' consumption.
"Where is your boss?" Jayka, dressed in police uniform, asked to the bartender at the bar.
The bartender looked at the two people who were not kind and hurriedly said, "Two police officers, our boss is in the lounge. Do you have anything to do if you need our service?"
Jayka pointed to the white armband on his shoulder and said, "We are members of the anti-work team. According to the orders of superiors, we have inspected suspicious people in the city. I ask you, have there been any suspicious people appearing in the Opishinya Tavern recently. .”
The bartender hurriedly said, "This police officer, there are never any suspicious people in our Opishinia tavern. This tavern was inherited by our boss from his father. It is also an old restaurant in the streets of Clozefoe. It is usually here. All the workers consumed here are docks, and they are all regular customers..."
Jayka didn't listen to the bartender's explanation at all, but said with a fierce look: "You said there was no, but there was no? And whoever stipulated that regular customers could not join the Labor Party later. I think there are many people in your store, but it is not all the Labor Party." A stronghold for the event.”
No mistakes, one song, one content, one in 6, one book, one bar, one reading!
His words scared the bartender half to death. After all, if this hat is implemented, the Opishnia Tavern will be over. This tavern, including his uncle, and the owner of the tavern, is also the only one. There are only two people, and both sides are still relatives. If they are really labeled as a black policeman, they will definitely suffer.
Just as the young bartender was in a cold sweat, Opisnia heard the noise from the front desk and walked out of the room behind.
He said to Jayka and the other two with a smile: "Two police officers, it is the honor of the shop to visit the shop. This is my nephew Ilia, who is only sixteen years old this year. If there is no good hospitality, it is not good. Don't take it seriously, both of you."
Jayka looked at Opishinya and said, "I don't care whether you are relatives or not. Whoever stipulates that Labor cannot be relatives, you..."
Before he finished speaking, Opishinya quickly interrupted: "This police officer, this kind of thing is not a nonsense. Who is the Labor Party, we cannot be the Labor Party. Our tavern and the Labor Party are irreconcilable."
"After all, according to the Labor Party, I am obviously the target of their attacks. I should be that little guy... I just heard that, I can't remember it. Anyway, the identity of a small vendor like us is not treated by the Labor Party. See you.”
While speaking, Opishinya took out a pile of rubles from his pocket without any trace, and quietly stuffed them into Jaica's hand with a painful look.
"So officer, you must definitely believe that we are good people who are loyal to the government!"
Jayka rubbed the thickness with her fingers and said quietly: "Well, I'm naturally not an unreasonable person. Judging from your appearance, you are an honest and loyal person. You shouldn't be quarrel with the so-called Labour Party members. On relationship.”
Opishinya patted her chest and said, "Don't worry, officer, that's absolutely okay. I wish the Labor Party organization would disappear from this world."
Jayka was already satisfied and was not interested in Opishinya's words. She said perfunctorily: "I am very energetic and continue to maintain it. Next time I come here, I hope you can still maintain this attitude."
Then Jayka took her subordinates away from the tavern and walked towards the next door shop.
Opishinya looked at the departure of Jayka and the others and cursed in her heart: "It's like a river turtle, and next time, you are not a good thing like the Labor Party."
Just as Opisnia thought, he did not really have a cold to the Labor Party, and even disliked and feared organizations like Labour. After all, he was also the owner of a tavern, and the Labor Party's attitude towards people like his identity was not. Very friendly.
However, he looked down on the current Ukrainian government. Since Ukraine's independence, the quality of life of the Ukrainian people has not been as good as that of the Tsarist Russian era. Instead, the newly established Ukrainian government has brought together all kinds of monsters and monsters, including various capitalists. , warlords, evil forces, gangsters...
This group of governments composed of things, let alone governing the country, it is a miracle that the Ukrainian government has not fallen.
Every now and then, levy taxes are imposed under various names, especially recently, the Ukrainian government has raised taxes again.
In addition to these exploitation, there are also various grassroots officials to get some money. This is the norm in Westcheslav City, especially in Opishinia, a store with a small amount of money but no background, which is most likely to be the West. Staff from various government departments of Cheslav City.
Otherwise, Opishnia would not have been so skillful in bribing the two policemen just now.
What kind of anti-work team? If you take the money, you will be a good citizen. If you don’t pay, you will be arrested and locked up for a few days. The more unscrupulous ones may directly confiscate the property. In short, compared to being harassed, paying for peace, Opishin Yake cannot afford to take risks and force these Ukrainian government law enforcement officers.
"Uncle, these dogs are smashed and come to eat and get some money every few days. How can we do our business?" The nephew who acted as a bartender asked Opishinya in a low voice.
Opisnia looked at her nephew and said with a bitter face: "What else can I do to endure it? Could it be that I really surrender to the Labor Party? Then the ending is probably not much better. This tavern is the hard work left by your grandfather. If the Russian Labor Party really fights, maybe it will be confiscated directly."
"As for these white-skinned dogs, they will definitely not die well. It would be better to have both the defeat with the Russian Labor Party and be together."
