Moscow in July should be the hottest time of the year, but on this day, those attending the enlarged meeting of the Military Commission found that the air pressure and temperature in the venue were a bit low, so low that it made people want to add one more piece of clothing.

Trotsky sat in the center of the conference room, but the most core position on his left was empty. This is very unusual. As the military commission's unscrupulous No. 1, Trotsky did not sit in the most core position, so this position could only be prepared for Lenin.

In the past years, unless the Military Commission had to make major decisions, Lenin would not come to the Military Commission. This time he came, it was obvious that things were very unusual. The members of the Military Commission attended, look at me and look at you, and they all felt like a storm was coming and wind was filling the building.

This feeling was infinitely magnified after Stalin walked into the venue, and after he sat down without saying hello to Trotsky. All participants knew that there might be a fighting battle today, or even a bloody battle.

This feeling made everyone dare not show off. They looked at their noses and their hearts like sculptures. A few minutes later, Lenin, the last arrival at the venue, finally appeared. The mentor's expression was very relaxed, as if they were not here to attend a meeting that was related to Russia's future political landscape, but to attend a tea party.

The old man talked cordially with several committee members, then shook hands with Trotsky and sat down, and said with a sceptical disgust: "Are you all here? Let's have a meeting!"

Trotsky immediately continued: "Then let's start the meeting. This meeting is an enlarged meeting of the Military Commission held at the request of Comrade Stalin and Comrade Andre. The main topic of the meeting is to expand the members of the Military Commission..."

Trotsky finished his opening remarks in a few sentences. Then he went straight to the topic: "Is it necessary for the Military Commission to absorb some new comrades to join? After discussing with Comrade Lenin, I thought this proposal was very good. The Military Commission should indeed absorb some fresh blood. I personally think Comrade Ulitsky is very suitable!"

As soon as Trotsky came up, he had a first say. It seems that he and Lenin had reached a consensus on this issue. Even if Sir and Stalin did not attack at this time, he and Lenin would put Ulitsky in later.

Even as soon as Trotsky finished speaking, Lenin immediately stated: "I agree with this nomination. Comrade Ulitsky has always been loyal to the revolution and the party, so he entered the Military Commission..."

"I object!" Before Lenin finished speaking, Stalin put down his pipe and said expressionlessly. "Comrade Ulitsky is not qualified to enter the Military Commission. He has never been engaged in military work and has no experience in military struggle. Letting him enter the Military Commission is simply a nonsense. Only absolute laymen in military work will make such suggestions!"

Stalin was quite sudden and the influence he caused was unprecedented, because it was Trotsky who nominated Ulitsky, and he expressed his support for Lenin, and the most important thing was that before Lenin finished speaking, Stalin decisively interrupted. The political meaning expressed by such a toughness is really extraordinary.

At least the other members present at the meeting were silently reciting in their hearts: "The battle has begun, be careful quickly so as not to be affected by the fish in the pond!"

Lenin's face looked a little bad. This was probably the first time he was interrupted by Stalin in person without mercy. This also had a certain impact on the tutor. However, the tutor had already made preparations before, and he immediately continued to emphasize: "Comrade Joseph, my speech is not over yet!"

"Your speech is not over, but we already know the central idea," Stalin said with a expressionless face. "And I strongly oppose this proposal. The interruption of your speech is to emphasize this point to you. Comrade Ulitsky is not suitable for entering the Military Commission, and this is unquestionable!"

Lenin's eyes suddenly widened a little, and he asked with a forcing momentum: "What does it mean to be unquestionable? Could it be that the Military Commission was opened by your Joseph's family?"

Trotsky immediately agreed: "That's right, the Military Commission must obey the leadership of the organization, not someone's one-man rule!"

Seeing that Stalin was a little difficult to support under the attack of the two mentors, Li Xiaofeng sighed in his heart. He knew that he had to take action: "The Military Commission is indeed not a one-man rule, but this does not mean that anyone can enter the Military Commission. I also oppose Comrade Ulitsky's entry into the Military Commission. Why should a comrade who has no military experience enter the Military Commission? Because some individual comrades like him? This is nepotism and should be firmly resisted!"

Lenin looked at Li Xiaofeng very deeply. Although the tutor knew that someone was very close to Sverdlov, he still hoped that someone would not participate in this matter before, but now it seems that this is just a luxury.

"Comrade Andre, what is nepotism?" Lenin immediately put pressure on someone.

Li Xiaofeng was not afraid. The reality determined that he had to stand with Sverdlov. Since this was the case, he was not afraid of facing Lenin's pressure.

"The so-called nepotism is that Comrade Trotsky nominates Comrade Ulitsky to the Military Commission! As we all know, Comrade Ulitsky's relationship is very close to Trotsky and is close friends. In this case, Trotsky did not start from the facts, but insisted on letting Comrade Ulitsky, who had no military experience, enter the Military Commission. What is this not nepotism? Is it selfless?"

After Li Xiaofeng laughed, he continued without waiting for Lenin to speak: "Why did Comrade Ulitsky join the Military Commission? Does he have any understanding of military work? Did he have outstanding achievements in defending the Soviet revolutionary war? None of them. In fact, Comrade Ulitsky is very unaware of military work. He is purely a layman. There are countless comrades who are ten times or even a hundred times stronger than him in the army. Why don't those comrades enter the Military Commission, but let outsiders like him enter the Military Commission? Is this normal?"

Trotsky and Lenin tried to interrupt Li Xiaofeng several times, but Li Xiaofeng insisted on speaking, and the more he said it, he became more and more excited. "I strongly questioned Comrade Trotsky's motivation for nominating Comrade Ulitsky. Is this to better carry out military work? Is this conducive to military construction? This is simply playing the piano randomly. It is too polite to say that he is nepotism!"

Stalin also slowed down at this time and immediately agreed: "I strongly agree with Comrade Andrei's speech. In fact, at this time, the enlarged meeting of the Military Commission was held. In addition to absorbing fresh blood into the Military Commission, the more important reason was to expel some of the black sheep from the Military Commission and let some people who had caused great interference in military construction leave the Military Commission so that the Military Commission can carry out their work better!"

Lenin couldn't help but shouted, "Comrade Joseph. You are insincere. Make it clear, who has interfered with the normal work of the Military Commission? The Politburo has always been very satisfied with the work of the Military Commission. The achievements made by the Military Commission over the years cannot be erased!"

"Scores are scores, mistakes are errors!" Stalin replied without giving in: "We cannot tolerate mistakes if we achieve certain results. This is a crime!"

Stalin almost pointed to Tukhachevsky's nose and said, "I will never allow the mistakes to be covered up with previous achievements. For example, Comrade Mikhail never reviewed his previous mistakes, did not publicly apologize to the Military Commission, and even said nonsense about the persecution. What is this nature? This is the collective leadership and correct resolution against the Military Commission... It has been several months since we have been waiting for Comrade Mikhail to admit his mistakes to us, but he did nothing! Is this what a party member and a senior general should do?"

Stalin almost roared: "He does not have this qualification! Now, I formally propose to the Military Commission. I will hand him over to the Supreme Military Court for review!"

"I object!" Lenin and Trotsky shouted almost in unison.

However, what they did not expect was that their opposition could not prevent Tukhachevsky from being defeated. Because the results of the voting proposed by the Military Commission against Stalin soon came out. Even if Lenin was helping Tukhachevsky speak nicely, it was impossible to avoid Tukhachevsky being taken down at a greater disadvantage. In addition to a small number of officers who supported mechanization and large-scale combat theory supporting him or abstaining from the rule, the cavalry, artillery, air force and navy unanimously opposed him.

There is no way, who made the regiment Khachevsky offend people before, which aroused public anger, especially the Leningrad case, which made him offend the navy and the Air Force deeply afraid. Perhaps they all believed that once Tukhachevsky turned over, there would never be any good results for them to eat. Since that is the case, just fuck him in one breath.

Tukhachevsky's fall was the beginning, and when he was politely invited out of the venue by the Supreme Military Court, a series of chain reactions began to occur.

Almost at the same time Tukhachevsky was invited away, Li Xiaofeng immediately proposed: "I nominate Comrade Sverdlov to join the Military Commission. Comrade Sverdlov has always been very concerned about military construction and has repeatedly found ways to find solutions for the actual difficulties faced by the army. Moreover, during the October Revolution, he was the military leader of the uprising at that time. He was familiar with military work!"

Lenin and Trotsky's hearts were thrilled, and they felt increasingly troubled. If Sverdlov also joined the Military Commission and replaced Tukhachevsky's position, it would be like the Military Commission Stalin and him. How can this be done?

"I object!"

Unfortunately, Lenin and Trotsky's opposition was still invalid. Compared with the vote when Tukhachevsky was exempted, Sverdlov's appointment was almost one-sided, and most people agreed with this nomination! This made Lenin and Trotsky feel powerless for the first time.

"Send a comrade to notify Comrade Yakov and ask him to attend the next meeting immediately!" Li Xiaofeng ordered excitedly.

This really made Stalin angry with him. Faced with the opposition of Trotsky and Lenin, they not only drove Tukhachevsky away but also successfully allowed Sverdlov to join the Military Commission. This means that Trotsky really became a lonely man in the Military Commission, and the situation has completely changed!

Lenin and Trotsky's faces looked very bad, especially Lenin, who was really as dark as the bottom of a pot. He no longer had the slightest and gentleness he had when he first entered the conference room. At this time, he felt a strong crisis!

Yes. Lenin finally felt a sense of crisis, because this time it was not only the first time he lost to Stalin and Sverdlov, but also the loss when he and Trotsky joined forces. This blow was really too big.

On the other hand, Stalin was extremely excited because this victory was so exciting. They could win against the combination of Lenin and Trotsky who were at their peak in the party. What does this mean? It shows that his political alliance with Sverdlov has initially had the ability to challenge Lenin and Trotsky directly!

To be honest, this is too precious for Stalin, because in his and Sverdlov's view, Lenin is an insurmountable mountain. Even if he was determined to fight back this time, they were actually unconfidence or even very pessimistic before winning. And now, there is no need to be pessimistic anymore, and we can consider sounding the horn of counterattack!

So why did Lenin and Trotsky lose this time? The reason is very profound. Lenin's previous actions actually made the Lenin faction dissatisfied. Although people dared not openly "rebellion" by the mentor, the resentment was very strong. This time, Stalin and Sverdlov took the lead. The resentment of the Lenin faction instantly found the "organization" and immediately united around Stalin and Sverdlov, and fired a shot at the Trotsay.

Of course, this does not mean that Stalin and Sverdlov have replaced Lenin's position in the Lenin faction, and it is impossible for a new generation to defeat the old ones. Because the Lenin faction's party members are quite emotional about the mentor, that is, the mentor is too biased towards Trotsky, so they fight back.

And we must see that the main target of their counterattack was Trotsky. If Stalin and Sverdlov directly pointed the finger at Lenin this time, then these Lenin factions would not be so powerful.

Then there is still a timely question for the success this time. As Li Xiaofeng said before, Stalin and Sverdlov Group have advantages in the Military Commission, which is greater than the Politburo's advantage. Moreover, the mentor has no time to adjust the power composition of the Military Commission for a while, which gives them a chance.

In fact, Lenin was indeed ready to slow down and then attack the Military Commission. He had to prepare first, and then divide and resolve the forces of Stalin and Sverdlov group in the Military Commission before taking action. This time, Stalin and Sverdlov followed Li Xiaofeng's advice and took action first, caught Lenin off guard. As one went up and down, it would be normal for Lenin to fail. If it slowed down for a while, the result would be really unpredictable.

However, after achieving a preliminary victory, there is another multiple-choice question in front of Stalin and Sverdlov. Should I take advantage of the heat to pursue Trotsky and completely resolve Trotsky in one breath, or should I slow down to avoid intensifying the conflict, and wait and see before talking about it?

Stalin and Sverdlov wanted to stop as soon as possible. The result is now perfect. Trotsky has become a lonely man in the Military Commission. What kind of waves can he, a commander alone, make?

But Li Xiaofeng didn't think so. He thought that he would either not do it or do it. This time he had completely turned against Lenin. He had to chase the remaining brave men and kill Trotsky. At least he killed Trotsky in the Military Commission and did not give Trotsky and Lenin any chance to make a comeback!

So when Sverdlov just arrived at the venue, Li Xiaofeng suddenly pointed his gun at Trotsky: "Comrade Trotsky, you didn't have any mistakes in the Leningrad case? If it weren't for your support and instigation, this incident greatly damaged the image of the Red Army and made the Red Army lose people. As the Chairman of the Military Commission, you could sit so peacefully?"

The shot was quite suddenly, Stalin and Sverdlov changed their faces, and Lenin was even more furious: "Comrade Andre, don't go too far!"

Li Xiaofeng looked at Lenin straight and replied without giving in: "What's the problem with me? Can't I point out the mistakes of the Chairman of the Military Commission in person and criticize them? As the Chairman of the Military Commission, this led him to a wrong path. Doesn't Comrade Trotsky need to be responsible?"

Without waiting for Lenin and Trotsky to speak, Li Xiaofeng roared loudly: "I think as the Chairman of the Military Commission, Comrade Trotsky's work is incompetent, and an incompetent Chairman of the Military Commission cannot lead the Red Army to continue. I now formally propose to the Military Commission that Comrade Trotsky should be removed from his position as Chairman of the Military Commission and another more competent comrade will be chosen to replace him!"

It's shocking!

Li Xiaofeng's sudden attack once again changed the course of the meeting, and a more intense confrontation broke out again. After a brief silence, the venue was full of trouble, and people kept standing up to express their opinions, and constant quarrels broke out. It was really a matter of darkness, sun and moon.

"You guy is too reckless!"

Stalin and Sverdlov wanted to strangle Li Xiaofeng to death at this time. Because someone made such a fuss, they were originally going to stop when they were ready, so they could only continue with their shirtlessness and harden up. If Trotsky could not be overturned, the success they had achieved before would not be so great... (To be continued, please search for astronomy, novels are better, updated and faster!
