135 The Dust Settles (Part 2)
"Why don't you kill Stalin all?" Yakov asked in confusion. ±
Yes, in the eyes of Yakov and others, this time the Stalin group was completely defeated. Isn't it good to take this opportunity to uproot it and then dismember the five horses and let everyone eat a full meal? And just attacking Stalin's behavior this time, not to mention the cannon killing, five minutes is enough, right? Why did you let Stalin go so easily?
"Political struggle is not just about killing people. Beheading the head. Eliminating a person's ** is very simple, but it is difficult to completely erase the traces left by it." Li Xiaofeng replied calmly, "Now we can indeed drag Stalin and his followers out and kill them all. This is very simple, just a matter of one sentence."
After a little pause, Li Xiaofeng looked at Yakov and Wufengjevic who had just arrived in Moscow, and said in a very old fashioned manner: "But what are the benefits? Are there any more benefits besides the pleasure of revenge?"
Yakov and Wufengjevic looked at each other. Although they didn't say anything, no one could tell that they were not convinced.
So Li Xiaofeng continued: "Stalin fell. If he used the simplest, direct and neat means to clean up his party members, then the Central Committee members would probably have to remove one-third of them. This is just the Central Committee. The grassroots party organizations that support these Central Committee members will inevitably continue to clean up. To be honest, they will involve more than a dozen or millions of party members. All of these people are killed? Or are they all exiled?"
Yakov and Wufengjievic stopped talking because they knew very well that the three giants were not screaming. Since 1935, the Communist Party of the United Nations (Brazzetta) had close ties with the three giants. Either Trotskyist or Stalin and Sverdlov's people. A thorough cleanup of Stalin's power will inevitably turn into another major purge.
Please note that it is 1939, not 1934. When Stalin's purge was in 1939, it also discovered that something was wrong. The party organization and the army were severely damaged, and even the only one Finland was almost lost. From that year on, rehabilitation began and a group of middle and grassroots commanders were released. But this was the case. When the Patriotic War broke out, the Red Army's performance was terrible, with serious lack of qualified officers, and its tactics were extremely rigid. This caused unprecedented heavy losses!
If the purge began to be carried out in 1939 and cracked down on Stalin's forces, the grassroots party organizations and the army would inevitably suffer serious impacts. Doing so when the war was about to come is equivalent to committing suicide. Maybe it would be even more ugly than dying in history!
Li Xiaofeng could not agree to completely liquidate the Stalin Group, secondly. At this time, who will benefit the most? Of course, the victim Trotsky defeated Stalin and completely liquidated it, which fully affirmed the correctness of Trotsky and allowed the indulgence to grow at will!
What, don't believe it? Please note that whether it is the Stalin Group or the Sverdlov Group, there is a unified label before they split up - the Lenin faction! They are both Lenin's political forces. Only when the Stalin Group and the Sverdlov Group unite can the greatest strength and can they firmly suppress the Trotskyists.
Now that completely destroying Stalin's faction is equivalent to cutting off one of the leg of the Lenin faction! Can the lame Lenin faction do better than the Trotskyists? I'm afraid it's dangerous!
And it is precisely because the Stalin Group and Sverdlov Group have the same origin, so we cannot easily make a knife. Although the two major groups are separated, there are still many connections between them. As the saying goes, if the bones are broken, they are connected to the tendons. But the former comrades want to fight with each other. Why are they too anxious to fight each other?
Trotsky was probably the happiest to completely eliminate Stalin's power. At that time, he was the real boss, and what about Sverdlov? What are the benefits?
Political struggle is not about fighting, killing, and not being able to act voluntarily. The essence of political struggle lies in uniting all forces that can be united to attack the enemy. Is there any benefit to using a ruthless knife against the men left by Stalin, which is not only what makes people feel that Sverdlov is ruthless and unrighteous, but also weakens the strength of the Lenin faction?
Li Xiaofeng believed that a considerable number of the people left by Stalin could unite. This was the time when they were most frightened. Pulling them was much more useful than stabbing them. If this part of their strength could be integrated well, Sverdlov could be considered as reorganizing the Lenin faction after Lenin retired, and finally gathering the Lenin faction into a whole again. Isn’t this worry that I can beat Trotsky?
On the contrary, it seemed very pleasant to raise the butcher's knife and kill him, but in fact it was a self-destruction. Look at how that idiot Khrushchev did. He completely slandered and denied Stalin. It seemed very awesome, but in fact he dug up his own corner and offended a large number of old revolutionaries. As soon as the time came, the old men overturned him again and taught him how to be a human being.
Doing politics is not about avenging revenge, not to mention that the so-called heroes who avenge revenge in the world have a bad ending. Politics is a game of pursuing interests, and everything is based on interests. As the only representative of the Lenin faction in the court, Sverdlov must not avenge revenge, but must weigh the interests of all parties and unite all forces that can be united to safeguard the overall interests of the Lenin faction.
In the previous Politburo meeting, why did Lenin leave in a gloomy manner? Is the tutor more sad than death or is it really noble? I am afraid that is not the case. This is not the first time Lenin has been betrayed by a student. Kamenev and Zinoviev have already made the tutor have sufficient resistance.
What's more, Stalin's actions were not as sudden as those two weirdos. On the way to Moscow, Lenin had already made enough psychological preparations. And the final result was not that bad. Stalin's conspiracy was basically shattered, and did not cause any major losses to the party, the state and the Lenin faction in the absolute sense. What's unacceptable?
As for being noble and honest? The tutor does have noble and honest qualities, but if the Leninist faction he created faces an existential threat, he is likely to be in a slump. Do you think Lenin will play noble and honest?
I'm afraid from the moment he arrived in Moscow, he was mentally prepared to regain control of the overall situation and clean up the mess. It's just that Sverdlov's choice made him give up this idea.
Why? Sverdlov's attitude at the Politburo meeting was clear. The issues of Stalin and others need to be settled. An explanation needs to be given, but it is necessary to take care of the overall situation first, not beheading the head casually. It is not difficult to see from his statement that Xiao Si needs to control the scale of the liquidation, except for the evil and those backbone elements, and do not care about anything else. In other words, Xiao Si is to preserve the political legacy left by Lenin to the greatest extent.
Even if the tutor himself presided over the overall situation on stage, the final result would be like this, right? Since Sverdlov's choice was not any problem, he had done a good job. Why should Lenin stay?
Taking advantage of this opportunity that is not an opportunity, Sverdlov gave the green light to let go and reintegrate. For the Leninists, this might be a bad thing to a good thing. Moreover, he is so arrogant. Trotsky can't be petty. He always has to give him some face to him, and he can't do things in awesome way, right?
Of course, if Trotsky really doesn't give him face, Lenin won't be polite. He doesn't owe Trotsky anything. On the contrary, Trotsky owes him favors. If Trotsky dares to turn against him, then he, as a great mentor, will naturally stand up to support Sverdlov and teach Lao Tuo how to be a human being.
In fact, everyone has seen that Trotsky is very smart and knows that things can only be done. If he dares to find out, Lenin will dare to fight to the death. To be honest, he is really not a match for Lenin. Even without Stalin and Kalinin, the Lenin faction has a huge advantage in the Politburo and the Central Committee, and he has no chance of winning at all.
It would be better to stop whenever you see it. Lenin will give him an explanation this time. The Trotskyian power must increase. With Trotsky's pride, he might feel that even Stalin and Sverdlov have survived the joining forces, and he can't beat Sverdlov alone?
Seeing whether it is, this is politics. There are exchanges and compromises. In the end, everyone is happy to take what they need. The way of doing things that are more intense than a jet plane is called "not being particular". Of course, there are not people who are not particular. The recent one is steel. Everyone has seen the endings in history. The closer one is Taizu of this dynasty, and finally gave it a 37-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-
This fully shows that when you are in politics, you should make big strides when you should move forward, and when you should turn around, you should lower your body slowly, and when you should retreat, you should never show off. The human body cannot withstand the general trend of history several times.
After Li Xiaofeng's explanation, although Yakov and Wufengjevic did not fully understand the practice of not eliminating the roots, they could at least accept it. This is the shortcoming of Russian politicians. They tend to use simple and direct means to solve the problem. To be honest, these rough practices may be effective at that time or for a while, but if they do this for a long time, something big will happen sooner or later!
Haven't you seen that Russia began to disintegrate since the collapse of Tsarist Russia. Fortunately, Lenin came out in the middle, Stalin and his strong men were forced to slaughter their lives and counterattacked. However, the polar bear, which had no improvement, soon fell down and almost dismembered the five horses. After that, under Yeltsin's policy of committing death, Russia is actually likely to face a new round of disintegration. Fortunately, Putin won the Second Chechen War and gritted his teeth and held on.
Of course, this has nothing to do with the book, back to the story itself. The three giants became double-cars, and the Leninists and Trotskyists decided to win the final victory and defeat in the great Patriotic War. The first round was Trotsky attacked and Sverdlov defended. The time and place of the confrontation were the plenary meeting of the Central Committee on the morning of September 4.
At the meeting, Trotsky made a long speech. He comprehensively criticized Stalin's route and used the most violent firepower to nail Stalin to the pillar of shame in history. Judging from his aggressive situation, he seemed to have no intention of giving face or mercy.
Did Trotsky violate his tacit understanding with Lenin?
No, since Trotsky had promised Lenin, he would not repent. What he did now was not contrary to his tacit understanding with Lenin. Stalin and his core gangs must be liquidated! There is no condition to say about this, even Sverdlov would not object.
But Trotsky hopes that the attack will be wider. After all, the more people you swept away, the more places you have to spare. Even if he can't grab everything, every extra one is profitable.
Similarly, what Sverdlov needs to do is how to control the breadth of this blow, who must get out of here, and who can stay, all this requires him to do his job.
This is a tug of war. Trotsky and Sverdlov fought to the death for each seat of the Central Committee, and it was not until three days later that a conclusion was drawn. The comparison of the strength of the Trotskyists and the Lenin factions changed from 3.5 to 6.5 to 4.3 to 5.7 now. In this battle, the power of the Trotskyists soared by 8 percentage points. It was also the time when the strength of the Trotskyists and the Lenin factions were closest after 1918.
It seems that Sverdlov suffered a crushing defeat and was defeated by Lao Tor, but this is not the case. Sverdlov could still maintain the advantage of Lenin's party against Torpis under such hasty and hasty integration. Although this advantage is much weaker than before, the advantage is the advantage.
Also please note that this adjustment is only temporary, and in March 1940, there will be a new adjustment. Nearly half a year left for Sverdlov to integrate, and at least maintain the status quo in the future is possible.
Not only in the Central Committee, but also in the Politburo, Sverdlov also thrilledly maintained a certain advantage. Because Stalin and Kalinin were forced to "retire and recuperate", and Orchonnikize committed suicide, the Politburo had to replenish fresh blood.
This time, the vacancy left by Stalin and Kalinin were filled by Radic and Li Xiaofeng respectively, and Lunacharsky also entered the Politburo and became alternate members. Among them, Trotsky and Sverdlov were considered to have a three-to-three draw. Generally speaking, what determines the direction of the Politburo depends on Fu Longzhi, who represents Lenin and Derrensky, who is always neutral.
Of course, anyone can see that this time Fu Longzhi may not be on Trotsky's side, and he will be more inclined toward Xiao Si. However, this tendency is not unreserved. After all, Lenin is not the kind of person who is unclear and disregards the overall situation. At least he will not openly help Xiao Si suppress Lao Tuo.
Objectively speaking, the Politburo was the most balanced term at this time. In the fourth year after Lenin retired, his mentor finally realized this wish.
After the adjustments of the Politburo and the Central Committee, the departments directly under the Party Central Committee, the Military Commission and the People's Committee must also make adjustments. While keeping the chairman of the People's Committee, Trotsky took over the position of General Secretary of the Party left by Stalin. Xiao Si is still the vice chairman of the People's Committee and the vice chairman of the Military Commission. Tukhachevsky is a salt-turned-up and restored his positions as member of the Military Commission and the People's Committee of National Defense. Unfortunately, the position of deputy chief of staff left by Voroshilov was not successful with him. Triandafilov successfully took over with the support of Xiao Si and Li Xiaofeng. As for a certain immortal, in addition to being promoted to the Great Elder, he also successfully took over Molotov's position as Minister of Central Organization. In addition, Luzutak gloriously became the nominal head of state of the Soviet Union - the chairman of the Supreme Presidium of the Soviet Union.
In general, both Trotsky and the Sir Alex group were very happy, without much surprise. At the new conference held next year, power will not change much, at most it will be fine-tuned, and this power composition will accompany the Soviet Union to fight a complete Patriotic War.
The Soviet Union's power adjustment will inevitably affect the international situation. At one time, Britain, France, the United States, Germany, Italy and Japan paid close attention to the political changes of the Soviet Union, and they also had the idea of taking advantage of the situation. However, this adjustment was too sudden, and they left too little reaction time for them and almost no decent results were achieved.
By the time the Soviet Union's adjustment was basically in place, Western Poland was already thriving, and demise was just a matter of time. What was placed in front of the beard would be a multiple-choice question, is it going east or west?
To be honest, Xiaowang was a little embarrassed. At this time, Britain and France had declared war on Germany. According to his normal plan, he should turn around and knock Britain and France off. But what made him difficult was that the Soviet Union actually denied the "Non-aggression Agreement". Without this agreement at the bottom, Xiaowang really didn't dare to deal with Britain and France with confidence. What if half of the Russians came to kill him?
To be honest, Germany's start was a bit painful at this time. He just cleaned up a useless Western Poland, and then he didn't know how to do it. And he couldn't stop, because once he stopped, if Britain, France and the Soviet Union agreed to do it together, wouldn't it be a two-line battle?
Therefore, at this critical moment, the Germans had to temporarily shift their focus to the diplomatic front, hoping to open up the situation with diplomacy. According to Xiaowang's idea, on the one hand, we must continue to fool Britain and France, let them maintain their original state, and moreover, we must do a good job in the Soviet Union, strive to reach the "Non-aggression Agreement", and then we can rest assured and boldly kosher Britain and France.
However, in Germany, there is still debate about the established policy of bearded. For example, the generals of the National Defense Forces system are extremely worried about being enemies of Britain and France. In their opinion, Germany is not as strong as Britain and France in terms of military strength and economic strength, and going to war against Britain and France means destruction. If they are given a choice, it would be better to rather flow the disaster according to Britain and France's ideas or bully the Soviet Union. For a time, the Germans themselves were also confused!
"According to the order of the Politburo, the Military Commission has instructed the Baltic Front, the Kiev Military Region and the Minsk Military Region to enter a state of emergency. At the same time, it also notified the East Prussian People's Republic and the Polish People's Republic to be more vigilant. If the German army continues to advance eastward, it will suffer a head-on blow from our army!"
The Politburo was not satisfied with Yegorov's report, because the German army had shown a very strong combat power before. The Western Polish army was not made of paper, but it was broken by him. At this time, the country's ** was not yet calmed down. The Minsk Military Region, which was most implicated by this storm, was probably in chaos. In this case, what else to say is a headache is simply a laughing stock! (To be continued, please search for astronomy, the novel is better and faster!
