"Commissioner Grigory, the Central Committee is under a lot of pressure now. Some comrades believe that the Soviet Union has the ability to provide sufficient Soviet products for all the people." After Kirov finished speaking, he picked up the wine glass and drank another glass.

Commissioner Grigory wanted to pick up the wine glass, but the unhappiness in his heart made him pinch a pickle and put it in his mouth to refuse. Stimulated by the salty and sour taste, his mood was temporarily relieved. Kirov continued:

"I think those people are really causing trouble, but this is also an opportunity for them to have a say."

Of course, Grigory knew that those people were fighting for the right to speak, and they were using critical methods to start from some emotional angles. Because that was the only space left for them. As for the consequences of inciting such emotions,

These people actually didn't care. Grigoli, like Kirov, was a committee member highly regarded by General Secretary Stalin. Grigoli had to try to confirm Kirov's position, "Commissioner Kirov, do you think we

Is it necessary to adjust the route?”

Kirov immediately shook his head, "Since Commissioner Grigoli thinks we can't do it, I will unconditionally support your view. What I just said is largely because I hope to avoid some meaningless arguments. We

It is necessary to ensure the unity of the party on non-principled issues."

Grigory shook his head, "Comrade Kirov, my opinion is different from yours. Those comrades should be the ones who consider ensuring unity within the party."

Kirov nodded slightly, but the purpose of his trip was to persuade Comrade Stalin's faction, not to join the party in opposing dissidents. Even though he understood Grigory's displeasure, Kirov still tried to persuade, "Comrade Grigory, we have already

Success in the direction of the line has been achieved, and facts have proved that socialism in one country can be built. Now, it is our turn to pull those comrades back to the right path, rather than criticizing those comrades on the right path.

"

Grigory shook his head, "I don't think they really understood what their mistake was."

Kirov filled his glass with wine and then replied: "If we shut them out, they will never understand their mistakes. Comrade Grigory, the only way is to let these comrades walk together

Only by taking the right path can we truly change their views."

"What do you mean? Let them be in charge again? Do you think they can do a good job? If they can do a good job, no one will touch them."

Kirov picked up his glass, "I'm not referring to those who have been proven to be incapable of working. I'm talking about those comrades who have the ability to work, but were considered to be against the one-country socialist line and lost their opportunities. Gerry

Comrade Goli, don’t you know such a comrade?”

Grigoli hesitated for a while, then reluctantly picked up the glass and touched it with Kirov. Although he thought Kirov's view was indeed reasonable, Commissioner Grigoli did not speak because he admitted that this view was reasonable.

, it seems to be a certain degree of wavering. A certain degree of wavering may be regarded as disloyal to Comrade Stalin.

After finishing the drink, Kirov got up and left. Back in the office, Kirov continued to deal with work. Recently, the internal disciplinary organization found a bunch of bugs, and many of these bugs relied on supporting Comrade Stalin's line.

Obtained the current position. Therefore, Kirov believes that it is necessary to use a wider selection field to fill the cadres in these positions.

Two days later, Kirov received a call and Comrade Stalin wanted to see him. Kirov walked into Stalin's simply furnished office and saw Stalin sitting behind the old desk. He raised his eyes, looked down, and said nothing.

Kirov's hair was filled with tobacco. Kirov walked to the old desk and said, "General Secretary, I am here on orders."

Stalin pointed to the old sofa and waited for Kirov to sit down before saying: "I am surprised that some people were recommended by you."

Kirov answered bluntly: "General Secretary, many capable comrades do not have such a clear understanding of the line. They believe that they have been treated unfairly. The reason comes from personnel struggles rather than line struggles."

Stalin put down his pipe and asked in a calm tone: "Comrade Kirov, do you think the cadres you nominated did not oppose me just to oppose me?"

Kirov noticed that Stalin did not mention "line struggle," which was not a good sign. However, Kirov felt that he needed to make his thoughts clear, "General Secretary, continuing to implement the current line is the most important task at the moment.

Many people are unqualified cadres themselves. In order to keep their positions, they publicize their dismissal due to incompetence as a personnel struggle. Propaganda struggles at this time will only waste resources and destroy unity. General Secretary,

The current economic policy is moving from one success to greater success."

Hearing Kirov mention the success of economic work, Stalin's cold expression softened, and he picked up his pipe and started smoking again. The abundant supply of light industrial products in the past two or three years has indeed made some vacillating Central Committee members choose to stand.

Stalin's side. If economic work could be carried out more successfully, Stalin believed that Trotsky and his faction could be completely driven out of the central government.

As for Kirov's intentions, Stalin believed that Kirov's purpose was never to bring Trotsky's gang back to power, but to continue to weaken Trotsky's group. Although Kirov's proposal was indeed inconsistent with Stalin's character

Judging from experience, drawing the capable people from Trotsky's group to your side is tantamount to completing the expulsion of Trotsky's group.

Finally, Stalin knocked off his cigarette ashes and said with a smile: "Comrade Kirov, if there are problems with those people's work, you will be responsible."

Kirov immediately replied: "If they are unqualified cadres, they should step down."

Stalin smiled. If Kirov could really do this, the blow to Trotsky's group would be very cruel.

For more than half a month after this meeting, Kirov continued his work, but fewer and fewer people came to see Kirov. But half a month later, when Kirov continued to maintain a relationship with Comrade Stalin,

We have a good relationship and continue to arrange personnel work. As if some signal has been triggered, the number of people who want to see Kirov is increasing rapidly every day.

Many of them are from Comrade Stalin's faction, and those cadres recommended by Comrade Kirov have also asked to meet Comrade Kirov. Just a month ago, these cadres regarded Kirov as a political enemy.

Kirov met with these comrades cordially. He did not promise anything to them. Instead, he expressed in a kind tone that these comrades had the ability to work and hoped that they could shine in their work. Kirov got

After making his clear statement, although these cadres were still worried about Kirov's conspiracy, they were confident in their ability to work. As long as Kirov did not frame him, they could indeed achieve results.

The time soon came to April 1930, the day when China and the Soviet Union settled trade. The cadres assigned to the foreign trade department showed considerable enthusiasm for their work. So much so that Comrade Kirov met the head of the Chinese business delegation.

I thought we could have a relaxed chat, but the head of the Chinese business delegation opposite didn’t look very friendly. He asked: “Comrade Kirov, if the Soviet Union has any dissatisfaction with import and export quotas, you can raise it directly.

.Are the methods adopted by some of your cadres too excessive?"

Kirov was stunned and didn't understand what this meant. Without him asking, the head of the Chinese delegation had already told about all the "evil deeds" of the Soviet Union recently, including "betting on whether prices can be reduced" by pouring wine, and

There are people who obviously know that China will not give in, but use various tricks to try to make things difficult for China.

Hearing the impatience of the cadres, Kirov replied frankly: "We will ask about this matter. Please rest assured, Chinese comrades, we will definitely deal with it seriously."

When the meeting was over, Kirov did not really deal with those cadres severely. Instead, he ordered the business negotiation department to submit a work manual and let them formulate their own methods for negotiation. Sure enough, the person in charge came to the base in person the next day.

Kirov's office sincerely requests Comrade Kirov's guidance.

Seeing that these guys were so sensible, Kirov told the person in charge of China's dissatisfaction. After listening, the person in charge said: "Commissioner Kirov, we understand. We will not do this again in the future."

Kirov advised: "Comrades, some of our comrades have gone to the United States. Why don't they do this to people over there? How do you think we should explain it?"

There is nothing to explain. The people who went to the United States for inspection did not dare to offend the Americans. So the person in charge of trade negotiations with China immediately criticized himself, "Comrade Kirov, we will definitely respect the Chinese comrades. Please rest assured that this

This type of thing will never happen again.”

Kirov nodded, "We have closer trade cooperation with China, and negotiations have also formed a routine. Breaking the routine will lead to misunderstandings!"

After beating these people, Kirov read the report about the United States. The economic crisis in this capitalist country is expanding. The U.S. stock market did rebound after the sharp decline, but in the end it was an even bigger drop. The American media initially thought

'Speculation has been curbed', but I didn't expect that the stock market would fall to such an extent. The financial crisis quickly expanded to the production field, and the economy has been declining for nearly half a year. Now, everyone in the United States began to panic.

However, the news from people in the Soviet Union who wanted to take this opportunity to purchase showed that American companies did not reduce prices because of this. The Soviet Union even expressed its intention to purchase large quantities and tried to use this opportunity to make a fortune from the Soviet Union. On the contrary,

The equipment purchased by the Soviet Union through China was delivered to the Soviet Union on time.

The behavior of capitalist countries made Kirov very unhappy. At this time, capitalists are still so greedy. Since the capitalists are like this, the Soviet Union has no reason to buy their products and equipment... After all, American businessmen require the Soviet Union to pay US dollars
