134 The Dust Settles (Part 1)

Sverdlov set off a storm. Everyone sitting in the venue knew his determination and knew that he would never compromise or make concessions. △The storm caused by Xiao Si was accumulating strength, especially when Trotsky also contributed to this storm, no one could stop this storm!

"Comrade Yakov is right. We Communists cannot accept this treaty. This treaty is despicable and shameful. In the future, the little benefits it brings are completely incompatible with the bad effects it has caused. I also oppose this treaty. If the treaty is adopted by the Central Committee, then I can only withdraw from the Politburo, withdraw from the Central Committee, or even **! This is an extremely serious matter of principle, and I will never compromise!"

The Central Committee members were stunned. The two giants of the Politburo had declared war on the non-aggression agreement and looked like they were dying. Even the hard-core Stalin supporters had to hide and weigh the weight.

Especially Lenin, who had been closing his eyes and resting, suddenly opened his eyes and announced: "I agree with the opinions of Comrade Yakov and Comrade Trotsky. This treaty is indeed inappropriate. The Politburo had to pass it before, but now it is time to correct this error!"

Even Lenin said bluntly that non-aggression of the treaty was a mistake, so who would dare to sing praises for this treaty? Stalin drooped his head, and Kalinin was even more ashamed. They knew very well that this decisive battle had already lost, and that he had lost so much that he had no shorts left. At this moment, even if Sverdlov and Trotsky were going to beat the dog in the water, they would not dare to fight back.

On September 3, at the emergency meeting of the Central Committee, the non-aggression treaty was denied. At the same time, the Chamberlain Cabinet, who had been struggling for two days, was forced to make a decision to declare war on Germany. This day is worth remembering, but on this day there were actually quite a lot of shocking events.

At 11 noon that day, Ulitsky and Derzhinsky, who arrived at the venue hurriedly, once again detonated the venue. They showed up with their own personal experiences and listed in detail how Malenkov and Melkulov interfered in the work of the Mission Reconciliation Committee and how they used despicable means to cut off their ties with Moscow. What's even more terrifying is that Ulitsky and Derzhinsky also bluntly accused Malenkov and Melkulov of attempting to kill and silence.

"It's really unimaginable. Is this still the territory of the Soviet Union? Is this still the world of the Communist Party? We were actually chased by our comrades and almost died. How horrible is this!"

Derrensky's anger almost lifted the ceiling of the venue. Anyone could see that the Iron-Faced Man was really angry. When the Iron-Faced Man was angry, he would have to ask for a few heads to explain, and at least the one who lost his head must be at the level of the alternate Central Committee!

Of course, the two people who had to lose their heads first were already a foregone conclusion - Malenkov and Merkulov, these two people would definitely not be able to escape.

"Malenkov and Merkulov are to blame. These two people have major suspicions. They must be arrested immediately!"

No one opposed this resolution, nor did anyone dare to object. Even Stalin and Kalinin dared not say anything. They could not even privately inform Malenkov and Merkulov to run away, because according to Lenin's order, no one was allowed to leave the venue before the meeting ended!

In fact, Malenkov and Merkulov were just appetizers, because it was Li Xiaofeng's turn to perform: "According to Yerov's explanation, the special plane attacking Comrade Trotsky was planned by him. He was instructed by some comrades from the Politburo to instruct Malenkov and Merkulov to cause this tragedy, with the purpose of preventing us from forming an alliance with Britain and France to fight against fascist Germany. The specific implementation process is as follows..."

To be honest, for the bigwigs of the Central Committee, they don’t have much interest in how this case was implemented. They want to know who the mastermind behind the scenes is, and whether Ye Ruofu has already explained Stalin?

"Comrade Andre, who are you talking about in this Politburo?"

Faced with this question, Li Xiaofeng replied calmly: "Because it involves the highest level of the Party and the country, and the case investigation has not yet been completed, I cannot draw conclusions casually. The name of this comrade who is suspected cannot be disclosed for the time being. But soon, after the truth of the case is revealed, kgb will disclose all the documents to the Central Committee, and everyone will naturally know it."

The Central Committee members thought about it and said that such a fatal case involves the struggle at the highest level, and where can it be announced at will. Even if it is to be announced, the Politburo must first reach an agreement internally. Which ones should be known to the Central Committee, which can be conveyed to the grassroots level, and what can be disclosed to the public, are all of them. In the current complicated moment of the international situation, you must be cautious!

The emergency meeting of the Central Committee was originally scheduled to be held for one day, and the Central Committee members went back to their homes after voting for the Non-Aggression Agreement. However, with the sudden return of Lenin, Trotsky, Derzhinsky and Ulitsky, the meeting period was extended.

In the afternoon of the same day, the Central Committee members continued to discuss international relations and preparations for future world wars. However, the Politburo held an enlarged meeting, or a critical meeting. At this undisclosed internal meeting, Stalin and Kalinin suffered a heavy blow, and the two were almost criticized and could not raise their heads, especially Stalin, who was almost flooded by the saliva of Lenin and Trotsky.

"In view of the numerous crimes committed by Comrade Joseph Stalin, I think he should be expelled from the Politburo, expelled from the Central Committee, and expelled from the Party! Our Party does not welcome conspirators, nor does it welcome executioners!"

Trotsky's request was immediately responded by Ulitsky and Derzhinsky, but Lenin did not speak, and Sverdlov and Vronzhi did not say a word. As for Luzutak, he was a little confused, and seemed to want to say something but could not make up his mind.

Finally, Li Xiaofeng started: "Stalin's actions are indeed extremely sinful, and they are indeed unacceptable. They cannot bear it. But we must see that he has not made any contributions to the revolution before. Moreover, in this period, public handling of him is likely to cause chaos. I think Stalin's problems should be handled internally and not over-publicize them."

"Are you trying to let him go and his gang?" Ulitsky asked angrily.

Li Xiaofeng replied calmly: "I am protecting the face of the Party. If we let comrades at the grassroots level and even the general public know that there are conspirators among us Communists, and there is a degenerate, corrupt and profit-oriented group. Can they still believe in our Party? Will not this give our enemies an opportunity to take advantage of it?"

Li Xiaofeng suddenly raised his voice: "It is simple to kill Stalin and his gangsters, but this does not help solve the problem, but it will easily complicate and expand the problem. Comrades, I must remind you that the world war has broken out, and we will join this war sooner or later. It is not suitable to deal with Stalin's problem immediately at this time. We must take care of the overall situation!"

Ulitsky stopped talking, Trotsky was also thinking. As for Lenin, his furrowed eyebrows seemed to stretch a little from the beginning of the internal meeting of the Politburo.

After a long time, Lenin broke the deadlock: "Comrade Andre, what do you think should be dealt with Stalin's problem?"

"I think these cases are temporarily kept confidential. They are not disclosed outside the Central Committee, and even require that all Central Committee members who have participated in today must be highly confidential. When this world war is over, Stalin and his gangsters will be tried again at the right time."

Ulitzki was dissatisfied: "That means that you do nothing now and let these conspirators and dangerous elements be free?"

Li Xiaofeng sighed and said, "Of course not. Stalin and his gangsters who participated in this conspiracy will be temporarily arrested and secretly detained, but will not be announced to the public. Try to minimize the influence of the incident."

Just as Ulitsky was about to object, Trotsky spoke: "I can understand how to do this for the time being. But I have a question, how long will it take to keep it confidential? What kind of reasons will be announced to the public in the future?"

Li Xiaofeng replied sincerely: "I think the confidentiality period can be tentatively set to five years. As for how to announce it to the public, we will announce that Stalin and Kalinin are seriously ill and must be recuperated!"

Trotsky looked at Lenin, and the tutor nodded slowly. As for Derrensky, he agreed after some thought. Soon the fate of Stalin and Kalinin was decided, and kgb was secretly escorted to Ural Mountain for recuperation. As for his gangsters, Yerov was sentenced to death and temporarily suspended. Belia did not explain a lot of problems and continued to be secretly isolated and interrogated. As for Malenkov and Merkulov, the former was shot dead by kgb while preparing to abscond Germany, while the latter committed suicide by swallowing a gun in the office.

The storm came so quickly and violently, and its involvement was simply terrifying. Deputy Chief of Staff Voroshilov was removed from office and quarantine for review, and Budoni was also detained after being removed from office. Since 1939, they have disappeared from the historical records of the Soviet Union. No archives or documents can clearly explain the outcome of the two. Some say that the two died in labor camps, some say that they were secretly executed, and some say that they were kept secretly detained until death.

Anyway, there are many statements, but there is no conclusion. Those who know their ending are limited to previous members of the Politburo, and these people do not intend to talk about the issues of these two people without exception.

Apart from Voroshilov and Budoni, the next-level figures in the Stalin group are Migoyan, Zhidanov, Molotov and Shaowumian. The endings of these four people are different. Migoyan stayed in prison for thirty years and celebrated Comrade Andre Petrovic in 1970 and was pardoned and released from prison on his 70th birthday. Eight years later, he died in a small elderly apartment. It is worth sighing that no one knows when this great man who cannot even rain died. No one has visited him, including his children. He died in silence, as if he had been forgotten by the world.

Zhidanov was also implicated. In 1944, he died of a large amount of industrial alcohol poisoning in Siberia. It is said that death is very terrifying. As for Molotov, the former Minister of the Central Organization Department spent the rest of his life in a small factory near Gongqingcheng. He was undergoing labor reform and spent the rest of his time silently here and was buried beside his wife in 1986.

Shao Wumian was not involved in the assassination case in depth. Although he was hit by a certain impact, he was not beaten to the end. In 1940, after the isolation and review, he resumed his work and was sent to Outer Mongolia as ambassador. Although this position is nonsense, his ending was much better than the previous ones. After retirement in 1945, Shao Wumian left Moscow and returned to his hometown in the Caucasus to live in seclusion. More than ten years later, he died peacefully there.

The longest living in the Stalin group is Kagannovic, who lived until 1991. His entire back half of his body was spent in a leather shoe factory. In 1990, he witnessed the 90th birthday of Comrade Andre Petrovic. In that year, as one of the few witnesses of the October Revolution, Kagannovic was awarded the Oct. Revolution Medal of Honor, and those who were awarded this medal also included his dead friends.

Finally, let’s talk about Stalin. Comrade Steel spent the last few years in the kgb secret sanatorium in the Ural Mountains. On May 9, 1945, the day when Germany surrendered, the steel poured in a full ten kilograms of vodka, and the heart stopped beating in the muddy center.

He died in time. Because it was also the same day that the new chairman of the People's Committee, Sverdlov, formally issued an arrest warrant for Stalin at the request of former Chairman of the People's Committee, Trotsky. The Soviet Union, which was victorious in World War II, no longer needed to hide its cover, and all the past sins would be liquidated.

When Stalin died, everything ended naturally. The sins he caused could only be lying in the safe with the highest level of confidentiality of kgb, and it would not be possible to see the light of day again after a hundred years.

But these are not important anymore. What is important is that Sverdlov and Trotsky won the victory, and the three giants became two giants, and how the Soviet Union would go in the future depends entirely on them.

This road is not easy to walk, and Sverdlov and Trotsky had a great disagreement. At this time, Trotsky still firmly believed that he should form an alliance with Britain and France and declare war on the Nazis immediately.

"The Agreement on Non-aggression has been proved to be wrong, which indirectly proves that the world's anti-fascist alliance has a future. Western Poland is suffering from Nazi invasion. We should stand on the side of justice and declare war on Germany immediately like Britain and France!"

In response, Sverdlov expressed his opposition: "Of course the "Non-aggression Agreement" is wrong, but this mistake has already happened. We must see that although Britain and France declared war on the Nazis, they were huddled on the French side and motionless. This fully demonstrates that they are still engaging in appeasement policies. Judging from the information we have, the Western Polish army was defeated thousands of miles and was no match for the German army at all. The most optimistic estimate is that Western Poland can only last for two months. Even based on the deductions of Comrade Tukhachevsky, Comrade Ubolevich and Comrade Triandafilov, it would be a miracle that Western Poland can support it until mid-October."

After a little pause, Sverdlov said jokingly: "So can we think so that after the demise of Western Poland, the German army's troops had all been pressed on the eastern front, and the pressure was all on our side. At this time, we hurriedly declared war with Germany. There was only one possibility. The German army would develop eastward and rushed directly to us. I would like to ask Comrade Trotsky, do you think that at that time, Britain and France would fulfill their obligations?"

Trotsky didn't say anything because he knew very well that once this happened, with the British and French gangsters, they would definitely watch the tiger fight. They wanted the Soviet Union and Nazi Germany to be done together.

"So I think it's unwise to declare war on Germany at this time." Sverdlov said confidently, "It won't do any good for our country!"

Trotsky asked, "What do you mean?"

"For the time being, put aside the "Non-aggression Agreement" and let it hang there. When the German soldiers move westward and attack France, we will take measures!"

To be honest, Trotsky didn't like this suggestion because it meant that his route was over. He wanted to continue to attack Stalin to truly establish his route and truly control the Soviet Union. And Sverdlov's actions all this would be lost.

However, Trotsky knew that under the current situation, Sverdlov's suggestions were indeed the most in line with the national interests of the Soviet Union. This made him very confused. On the one hand, it was his own political interests, and on the other hand, it was national interests, and he could only take care of one end!

It was difficult for Trotsky to make this decision. Even though he had been persuaded by Sverdlov in his heart, he was unwilling to admit defeat so much. He was unwilling to give up!

However, Lenin made a very decisive choice: "Comrade Yakov's opinion is correct, Britain and France are not trustworthy, and we cannot take risks with the Soviet people. Maintain restraint, try to paralyze the Nazis, and lead the disaster to the west. But at the same time, I also want to emphasize that we are not sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight. Once the German army attacks France, we must respond immediately. In addition, Comrade Trotsky, you should continue to contact and communicate with Britain and France to prevent them from playing tricks!"

After saying this, Lenin suddenly took a deep breath: "The current situation is very bad, even better than it has been in 1917. I hope all comrades will work together like in 1917. I don't want to see similar events again!"

As he said that, Lenin ordered the secretary behind him: "My role has been played, so I will not interfere with the operation of the Politburo. Send me out to rest! Please continue to discuss and study countermeasures in depth! This is your responsibility!" (To be continued, please search for astronomy, novels are better, updated and faster!
