94 Retaliation

Stalin believed that Germany, Italy, Japan, especially Germany, was indeed not a good thing, but these bastards were not along the way with Britain and France. In the long run, the German, Italian and Japanese axis and the British-French alliance must have a battle, so these two gangsters are unlikely to be in harmony.∈◆The Soviet Union did not have to treat Britain, France, Germany, Italy and Japan side by side, and should not regard them as a whole.

Stalin felt that a new siege and an isolated alliance could not be formed for the time being. Even if it was to be formed, it would have to be the matter after Germany, Italy, Japan and Britain and France decided to win. Therefore, there is no need to worry too much about this issue. He also believed that the Soviet Union could completely use the contradiction between Germany, Italy, Japan and Britain and France to separate it. For example, it could appropriately ease the conflict with Germany, not to mention re-normalization of relations, it could eventually end direct opposition.

Stalin's opinion is still very marketable within the party. Anyway, Trotsky cannot overwhelm it. The holders of these two opinions are constantly arguing, and they still quarrel when they hold small meetings. It is really a bit more lively than the vegetable market.

So what do Sverdlov and Li Xiaofeng have in this debate? It should be said that they prefer Stalin, not only because the two sides also have an alliance, but more importantly, Si and Li Xiaofeng believe that although the Nazis are abominable, they will still be beneficial to the Soviet Union if they make good use of them.

As a subverter of the international order trying to break the monopoly of Britain and France, the Nazis were a double-edged sword. If they were used well, they could directly bury the rule of Britain and France. Of course, if they were not used well, they would be injured. However, no matter what, the destructive effect of the Nazis was temporarily beneficial to the Soviet Union. If these devils can be temporarily stabilized and they were allowed to go to the backyards of Britain and France to make trouble. At the same time, the Soviet Union was also actively preparing to take precautions. Even if a war broke out in the future, it would be possible to minimize the damage as much as possible.

Xiao Si and Li Xiaofeng agreed that our relationship with Germany is to use each other, that's that simple.

In this way, Si and Li Xiaofeng naturally stood on Stalin's side, but they also corrected Stalin's opinion: "Restoring relations with Germany is not to completely relax their vigilance against Germany. This is just a strategy, a method to break the isolation and encirclement of imperialism on our country. In the long run, a new large-scale war is likely to break out, and in this war, the evil fascist devil is likely to capture the demon at the top of us. Therefore, it is a very necessary strategy to temporarily appease this devil and mobilize the war machines to buy time for us."

The Stalin and Sverdlov alliance, which had the advantage of the Politburo, easily reached the above resolution. In fact, this resolution was passed with an overwhelming majority. Except for Trotsky and Ulitsky who voted against it and Furonzhi abstained, all the other great elders, including Derzhinsky, agreed.

Based on this decision, Molotov was appointed as the People's Committee's special envoy and immediately contacted German Foreign Minister Ribbintrop through secret channels. An informal contact was held in Switzerland.

Some comrades may be strange. Why did they send Molotov instead of letting the authentic diplomatic people's committee member Livinov go? The reason is very simple. First, Livinov's position has always been pro-Western. He attaches more importance to Britain, France and the United States, and tends to move closer to these three countries. If a pro-English diplomat goes to negotiate with Germany, it will not be said in advance whether it will be bad. At least Stalin felt that it is not so reliable. Second, Livinov is a Jew. For the Nazis who hate Jews, meeting is embarrassing and may even backfire.

Molotov is different. As Stalin's hardcore little brother, Stalin can doubt no one will doubt him.

So an interesting scene appeared. When Spain, Germany and the Soviet Union met, the top leaders of the two countries were secretly engaging in music. I don’t know what Franco and the People’s Front would feel after learning the news.

Of course, the mood of the dog is not important at all, especially in such a major event. The only important thing is national interests. However, Li Xiaofeng was not very satisfied with the result of the first round of contact. The German demand was really unreasonable. Xiao Wangzi actually said that the only way to restore normal diplomatic relations between the two countries was to withdraw the international column and terminate the aid to the Second Republic of Spain.

In Li Xiaofeng's opinion, Xiaowang is really a good player to make money by making money. He dares to put such a lion's idea on the surface. He really thinks that the Soviet Union will not be able to leave Germany!

What made Li Xiaofeng even more angry was that Stalin and Molotov felt nothing about this, and then angered a certain immortal: "It's nonsense. If we agree to such a bastard condition, how can we explain to the Red Army commanders and fighters who were injured and sacrificed in Spain? How can we explain to other brother parties of the Communist International? If this happens, the Communist International will become a complete joke. How can we lead the proletarian revolution in the world in the future? What's more, we have already gained an absolute advantage on the battlefield and can eliminate Franco and the German mercenaries at any time. In this case, it is equivalent to being unbeaten and defeated! I firmly oppose this suggestion!"

Molotov's face looked a little bad. Why did he say that a certain immortal was once his old subordinate? He decided on this plan himself, but now someone pointed at the nose and scolded him. How did he step down?

However, before Stalin spoke for Molotov, the mentor Kalinin first exonerated someone: "Comrade Andre, you are too ruthless in speaking. I think this plan is acceptable. Anyway, the People's Front has already taken the advantage, and the next battle will be easy to fight. We can win with our aid. Besides, the Spanish civil war has been fighting for more than two years, and our country's expenses are quite large. It's better to save a little!"

Li Xiaofeng sneered: "Those who travel a hundred miles are half as big as ninety, and the last step to win is often the most difficult time. What is the Spanish Republican Army? We all know that without the international column and our country's aid, they will soon give away the fruits of victory... Comrade Kalinin, if you are unfortunately told by me, resulting in the failure of the Spanish Revolution and the previous aid being wasted, are you responsible for the failure of the Spanish Revolution? As long as you dare to issue this guarantee letter, I agree to withdraw the international column and terminate the aid!"

Li Xiaofeng said that he would take Kalinin's army. Who can afford this responsibility? And how could an old fried dough stick like Kalinin die? He would not pay for Molotov with his political future.

But this is also true. Kalinin was so angry. He was all the elders, and Li Xiaofeng was just an elder, and his qualifications were much deeper than Li Xiaofeng. He was beaten by a young man in person, even a "good old man" like Kalinin was very annoyed.

Li Xiaofeng looked at Kalinin's expression really, and naturally knew that he had offended the old fox, but that was what he meant. Why? Because in the past two years, Kalinin and Stalin have gotten closer and closer. Although they are not Stalin's die-hard supporters, they have also established a good cooperative relationship with Stalin. This is also the key to Stalin's ability to fight against the combination of Sir and Ruzutak.

In the past, when the Trotskyists were still in the Politburo, they were naturally unanimous to the outside world. But now the situation has changed. The Trotskyists seem to be in a state of twilight and their advantages are back to their side. In this case, Sri S and Stalin naturally have to rise again for the future. Both sides must prepare for the future.

In this period, Stalin was quite happy and actively wanted to dominate the political trend of the Stalin-Sverdlov alliance. During this period, Kalinin also rushed to the forefront and once served as a pioneer. At least this guy used his identity as the chairman of the Soviet presidium to give Si a lot of hidden black hands. He began to exclude Si's forces who had stayed in the Soviet presidium before.

In this case, Li Xiaofeng naturally cannot be polite to him. You have touched him, so I am not allowed to give you some colors. So as soon as he came up, Li Xiaofeng snatched him up and didn't dare to make a promise, so you shut up quickly.

Li Xiaofeng's sudden attack not only blocked Kalinin's mouth, but also blocked the road of Stalin's faction. According to Li Xiaofeng's intention, Stalin did not promise to take responsibility on his shoulders, so don't mention this matter. Naturally, the first contact between Molotov and Ribbintrop was considered useless.

Especially when Trotsky heard the news, he immediately made a blow at the regular meeting of the Politburo. At the meeting, he scolded Molotov and almost directly called the guy a sinner who betrayed the Spanish proletarian revolution, a traitor and a traitor. Almost, the guy's special envoy was beaten.

"We are not asking for the Nazis," Trotsky roared angrily, "I have never heard of the superior side asking for the disadvantaged side. I have never heard of the disadvantaged side being able to make a big decision. Comrade Molotov's work was a mess and even the basic principle was lost... Here I would like to emphasize that some bottom lines cannot be touched on the Spanish issue. If we want us to withdraw the international column, it is OK! But Germany and Italy must also withdraw their interference army. If we want us to stop aiding the People's Front, they must also stop aiding Franco! This is the most basic and minimum. If we can't even do this, there is nothing to talk about!"

Stalin did not like Trotsky's statement, but his counterattack did not receive any response from Sverdlov. Sir and Luzutak did not say a word, just pretended not to see Stalin's argument with Trotsky. Not only that, in the final vote, he and Luzutak directly abstained, which directly led to Stalin's defeat.

Anyway, the steel was so angry that day that day, so I turned over the table after going back: "Sverdlov has no view of the overall situation at all. In the long run, such a person is not suitable to stay in the central government to work!"

Stalin's statement was a bit terrifying. After all, he and Sverdlov were of the same level. Even in the Lenin era, his status was slightly lower than that of Sir. Now he felt that Trotsky was not good, and he thought he could be arrogant in the world.

However, Stalin didn't know that, at the same time, Sverdlov, Luzutak and Li Xiaofeng were also discussing Stalin.

Li Xiaofeng said: "From the recent situation, Stalin is already ready to move, we must beware of his ambitions!"

Luzutak agreed: "In recent times, Stalin's attitude has become more and more aggressive, and his traits have started to be five or six. I really think we are their followers, and this trend cannot be long!"

Sverdlov nodded. In recent times, Stalin has indeed become more and more arrogant. He is ahead of everything. He really regards himself as the leader. Unfortunately, Xiao Si never thinks he is the second-in-command of Stalin. He wants to surpass his car? Humph!

Sverdlov knew very well that this was a side effect of compromising and concessions to maintain the alliance with Stalin two years ago. Now, it seems that the strategy needs to be adjusted.

Soon, Sverdlov sent an instruction to his men: There is no need to give in to Stalin's people. As long as these grandsons dare to break the rules, they will fight back firmly. They must slap those dishonest guys in the face!

Xiao Si wanted to use this tough attitude to tell Stalin: "Let me be your second-in-command, wake up!"

Stalin soon felt pressure. When Sverdlov no longer chose to compromise and chose to fight back hard, he didn't have many ways. Although the overall situation improved, to be honest, he could only suppress Trotsky when he joined forces with Sverdlov. Without Sverdlov, he could at most draw with Trotsky.

"What should I do now? Try it again?" Stalin asked his two dog-headed military advisors Mikoyan and Zhidanov.

The latter two smiled bitterly, what else can I test? Sverdlov has already shown everything with his strength, and he may be slapped in the face if he tests again!

"Stop!" Mi Gaoyang sighed. "We can take it slowly with more than two years left!"

Why did Migoyang become soft? Not only because of Xiao Si's toughness, but also because yesterday, Ubolevic, the general equipment minister, suddenly issued a notice to the MiG Design Bureau, informing his younger brother, Xiaomi Gaoyang, that the MiG-1 interceptor, that immediately stopped production and the Red Army would not order again. Not only did it stop the MiG-1 production, it also negated the MiG-1's low-cost improvement plan, and even the funds for the MiG-3 plan that has been launched have been cut by most. This is a wake-up call for the MiG Design Bureau!

Mi Gaoyang knew very well, why? It wasn’t that before, in order to help his brother, Polykapov, he brought the old design abroad in the name of going abroad for investigation, and then instructed Xiaomi Gaoyang to establish a new MiG Design Bureau. The so-called MiG Design Bureau actually drew Polykapov’s old foundation, pulled away a group of masters such as Glevic, and undermined Polykapov.

After Polykapov returned to China, he was immediately stunned. His original role no longer existed. Designers independently established new design bureaus, while the so-called Polykapov design bureau was left with only one empty frame, and even the office location was not implemented.

Of course, it's all right. What's even more annoying is that the I-200 project (MiG-1) that has been hosted by Polikapov was also picked by Migoyan and Glevic. This made the old designer so angry that he almost suffered from cerebral congestion on the spot.

After Li Xiaofeng learned about this, he was quite angry because what Migoyang did was too inauthentic. The lawsuit was always on the desks of Sverdlov and Stalin, and finally chose to remain in vain in order to maintain the stability of the political alliance.

Anyway, the quarrel was very unpleasant at that time, so Li Xiaofeng could only find a way to make up for Polykapov, and used the alternate office committee to help the old man make a comeback, and studied the improvement of MiG-1 in the name of Bo-1.

Now that the situation has changed, Li Xiaofeng immediately gave Migoyang a look and dared to hit the alternate member of the Politburo in the face. Don't you pay a price? The General Equipment Department is his side, so it's just a matter of just one sentence to let Migo get out. Moreover, Migo-1 has a bad reputation in the army, so he has no psychological burden on him to deal with it.

So why did Mi Gaoyang tolerate it? It's very simple. Objectively speaking, Sverdlov's power is indeed a little stronger than Stalin. In the past, people were to unite and tolerate it, but now they don't want to let go and say that if you don't want to bird, you won't want to bird.

Nowadays, they are just dismantling your project. If you don’t know how to advance or retreat, the next step is probably to close your design bureau and hold the relevant responsible persons accountable. At that point, it will be quite unfavorable.

Before Stalin decided to turn against Sverdlov, Migoyan would not foolishly provoke conflicts and create conflicts. He is a political player, not a rogue on the street.

After learning that Mi Gaoyang was surrendered, Li Xiaofeng sneered: "You know what you are!" In fact, this person has prepared all the follow-up methods. As long as Mi Gaoyang dares to blow up the thorns, he will deal with his brother in minutes. The lightest one is to go to Siberia to reclaim the land. As for whether he will die in the kgb prison inexplicably, no one can tell. Isn't it just the younger brother of a Central Committee member? It's nothing!

After venting a bad temper for Polykapov, Li Xiaofeng let go of this matter, and there are more important things that need him to pay attention to, such as the situation on the Spanish battlefield.

Let's go back to Spain for the time being and dial the time forward for two months. At the battlefield of Aranjuez, Tukhachevsky and Guderian were killed by the head-on battle.

After obtaining more fighter jets and failing to seize air supremacy, Tukhachevsky could only face reality. On the one hand, it adjusted its troop allocation, and on the other hand, it also actively thought about new breakthrough tactics. Through the previous battle summary, Tukhachevsky found that the Red Army's armored troops had no problem with the assault speed, but the attack ability was insufficient. When facing the solid field fortifications, the BT-5's firepower was seriously insufficient. He urgently wanted a tank to attack cities and villages...
