534 Italy

After formulating a plan to grab the train, Li Xiaofeng didn't care much about this matter. It's not that he didn't pay attention to it, but that there were too many things he needed to pay attention to, so he couldn't do everything himself. He could only formulate a general plan and hand it over to the people below to implement it.

After this matter came to an end, Li Xiaofeng immediately flew away from Moscow. He would fly directly to Newfoundland to attend the meeting of foreign ministers of the five countries. Which five countries are there? Britain, the United States, France and the Soviet Union and East Prussia. As the German army retreated step by step, there were too many disputes that needed to be discussed and resolved between the allies. Foreign ministers must occasionally touch and resolve the newly emerging problems.

Some comrades may be wondering. It should be the only way for the people's diplomatic committee members to go. What does it have to do with Li Xiaofeng? Didn't Galahan get rid of a mess before and get rid of his post? So the people's diplomatic committee members are vacant for the time being. At this time, the people's diplomatic committee members are very important. You can't let the chairman and vice chairman of the People's Committee handle diplomacy in person. So in desperation, Li Xiaofeng temporarily took over this position.

"What are the main topics of this meeting?" Li Xiaofeng asked comfortably with his eyes closed and leaned against the backrest of the seat.

However, Vinsky, opposite him, was not so comfortable. This deputy diplomatic people's committee member had no good reputation in history. As the Attorney General of the Iron Age and the Vice-President of the People's Committee of Justice, he was the one who provided a theoretical basis for the great purge. He was the one who shouted that criminal law was a tool for class struggle, and confessions were the king of evidence, and he was quite good at creating unjust, false and wrong cases.

Of course, the famous saying that impressed Li Xiaofeng the most: "In our country with rich resources, there will be no and cannot be a food shortage that once occurred. Now it is clear why a certain area of ​​our country is not working in supply, and why our country with vast land and wealth suddenly lacks food. The culprit of all this is these traitors!"

Li Xiaofeng was truly impressed by someone's mouth that could turn black and white. It would be a pity for such a person to stay in China with such a mouth and engage in internal conflict. It would be better to go out and harm foreigners! So after Li Xiaofeng acted as the People's Committee of Diplomacy, he immediately transferred this person from the People's Committee of Justice. This is also the main reason why Vinsky was a little nervous at this time.

Yes, Vycinsky really couldn't figure out what a certain immortal thought. He didn't say it was comfortable, at least it was safe. Suddenly, a certain immortal called him directly and asked him to do diplomacy. He thought of the previous "socialist re-education movement" that gave people the feeling of luring his tiger away from the mountain and then tidying up his life.

Vysinsky felt that he was probably targeted by Li Xiaofeng. The reason? Is it hard to find the reason? He had been with S. Dalin before. After S. Dalin fell, he was transferred to the law school to be the dean for several years because he was not involved. Later, he got through Sverdlov's relationship and returned to the People's Committee of Justice.

From the perspective of personnel attributes, first, he is S. Dalin's man, second, he has a relationship with Sverdlov. No matter how you look at it, they are all Li Xiaofeng's enemy. If you transfer an enemy to your side, you will say that this is not training or cleaning up, who would believe it!

To be honest, Vysinsky felt that he was too unlucky. When he followed S Dalin before, he had made suggestions, but that was behind the scenes, and as an aide and the person who made suggestions did not attract so much hatred to the specific executors. Of course, because he was just talking, his position in the S Dalin group was not very high, at least on the core edge.

After S. Dalin fell, Vysinsky decisively clamped his tail and immediately drew a line with S. Dalin. This good performance prevented him from being beaten up by a stick, but he was transferred to an unimportant position. At that time, he also wanted to leave Li Xiaofeng's relationship, but a certain immortal did not pay attention to him at that time, and even ignored him a little. Trotsky could not go, so he could not really just stay on the bench and spend the rest of his life, right?

So at that time, Vysinsky decisively began to follow Sverdlov's path. After some hard work, he finally returned to the center of power. Of course, Vysinsky was very careful this time because he knew that Sverdlov's status was not stable. If he turned against Li Xiaofeng and fought against both sides, Xiao Si would probably be in danger. So he decisively maintained his distance from Sverdlov and did not enter Xiao Si's core circle. Let's put it this way, most of the time he was self-protection and was to be liquidated again.

But what Vycinsky didn't expect was that he thought he was low-key enough, but who thought he was still involved in the vortex of right and wrong, and he could not understand why someone was trying to make things difficult for a small character like him.

So is Li Xiaofeng really making things difficult for Vinsky? Did he transfer him over to shake the mountain and shock the tiger? That thing, you underestimate Li Xiaofeng too much. He really doesn't like Vinsky very much. This guy is sinister and cunning, and always puts personal interests and safety first. If there is any disturbance, he will be confused. Li Xiaofeng doesn't like such a person who is half-hearted, which is also an important reason why Vinsky lost to the end back then. He was insincere and helped the boss share his worries. Who uses you to be half-hearted? It's even impossible to rule out that one day the boss fell down and you would go up and bite him back. Such people should keep a distance!

Of course, keeping a distance does not mean that it cannot be used. The key is how to use it. It is definitely not possible to develop into your own circle. Isn’t he firm? So he can only put it on the periphery and not discriminate or despise him. When it should be used, he can just knock it out to let him play his abilities honestly. He will do whatever he wants after using it, and don’t give him too much thought. He just needs to put pressure on him and use pressure to make him do things honestly, so that he will not push back and forth and flout around him.

Obviously, Sverdlov did not understand this. He quickly rescued Vinsky from the vortex and entrusted a relatively important position to see that he was preparing to buy and win over Vinsky. However, he did not expect that Vinsky was a fox, and his eyes were quite sharp, and he was not willing to work hard for Xiao Si at all. Instead, he was perfunctory. You said that he didn't work hard, but he did it, but his strength was always insufficient and he was always reserved. Once something happened, he immediately shrank back.

Therefore, over the years, Sverdlov's use of Vysinsky has been quite problematic and cannot really make Vysinsky work. People like him have little meaning to buy, he is purely a fence-bearer, and his enemies are too strong will definitely shrink his eggs. If you want to use him well, you must put pressure on him to do what you want.

Of course, Li Xiaofeng's tone of Vycinsky this time is definitely not a revenge. Is there a need for a person like him necessary to retaliate? To put it bluntly, Vycinsky is a dog that succumbs to power. As long as you have power and don't have to beat him, he will kneel down and lick it obediently. When you come to Vycinsky, the most important thing is to value his mouth. There are no talents who are engaged in diplomacy for the time being, so it is okay to use him to deal with the emergency.

And there is another advantage to using Vysinsky at this time. As mentioned earlier, he had defected to Sverdlov before. Although that level of refuge is a complete joke, no matter what, Vysinsky still had the label of Sverdlov. Li Xiaofeng had brought down Galahan before, which must have made Sverdlov quite annoyed. If someone with the label of Li Xiaofeng or Trotsky was replaced by him as a vice-president of the People's Committee of Foreign Affairs at this time, Sverdlov would definitely have to retaliate against him.

Of course, Li Xiaofeng was not afraid of Sverdlov's revenge, but this was the time when the diplomatic battle was at its most intense. We should unanimously seize more diplomatic interests for the Soviet Union instead of engaging in internal struggles behind closed doors. That would be really not worth the loss. Therefore, it is necessary to appoint a guy with the label of Sverdlov's faction but in fact he was not working hard. Can he dispel Sverdlov's idea of ​​provoking internal struggles and completing diplomatic tasks? Isn't this ideal?

However, Li Xiaofeng would not explain all this to Vycinsky. Once he finds that the situation is beneficial to him, he will no longer be motivated and start to work hard. So he simply doesn't give him a good face and makes him mistakenly think that his form is not good. Only then will he try every means to satisfy Li Xiaofeng and carry out his work well. Otherwise, what if he says that politics is very complicated? Just one person has so many things to pay attention to, and if he is not careful, he may fall into the ditch.

Vycinski was trained to be honest and sat upright and replied: "Comrade Andre, there are two issues for the time being. The first is the Italian issue. With the basic liberation of Italy, Italy's future needs to be planned for a long time; the second is the issue of post-war compensation caused by the Italian issue. How much compensation is required for the Axis powers, and how to compensate is a big problem. In addition, the British also asked to discuss the Iran issue. They seem to have reached some consensus with the United States, but we are not sure whether the British will raise this issue."

Li Xiaofeng nodded slightly, then continued to think closed his eyes and left Vysinsky there, and it seemed that he really didn't care about Vysinsky. At least this is how Vysins basically thinks. In his opinion, a certain immortal was deliberately hitting him, so he quickly put his attitude more properly, almost treating a certain immortal in the manner of a student to a teacher, a slave to a master.

After a long time, Li Xiaofeng slowly opened his eyes and asked, "What do you think and suggest about these questions?"

It is impossible for Vycinsky to have thought about these issues. In fact, he has been doing this before and has a complete set of mature ideas, which is to prevent Li Xiaofeng's surprise interrogation.

"Comrade Andre, I think the reason why Britain and the United States raised the so-called Italian issue at this time is actually because the drunkard's intention is not to drink. Why should we raise the Italian issue? What is the problem in Italy? This is the key!"

Li Xiaofeng did not express any words, but just signaled Vycinsky to continue to say it. The latter did not dare to continue sloppy and quickly said: "There are only two core issues in Italy, one is the occupation after its surrender, and the other is the reparation issue. According to the agreements of the allies before, Italy will be occupied by the allies in subdistricts, but now it seems that Britain and the United States have not fulfilled this agreement. They probably want to do our work at this meeting and force us to give up this power."

Vycinsky glanced at Li Xiaofeng and saw that the latter still had no expression, so he could only cheer up and continue saying: "I even have deeper concerns. Even the West is unwilling to fulfill its responsibilities in such small matters as district occupation. Then, in terms of compensation, they may set up more obstacles, or comprehensively suppress the compensation we should receive. This will protect Italy's strength as much as possible and allow them to act as a vanguard in the front line of the Mediterranean and Southern Europe!"

It should be said that Vycinsky's analysis is still very insightful, because Li Xiaofeng has similar views with him. Britain and the United States are not willing to let the Soviet forces enter Italy. What they have been doing for hundreds of years is to encircle Tsarist Russia in the direction of Southern Europe. Now, Tsarist Russia has changed to the Soviet Union.

Obviously, Britain and the United States will never allow Soviet troops to enter Italy to station. As the saying goes, it is easy to invite gods and it is difficult to send gods. In the eyes of Britain and the United States, once the Soviet Union breaks through the Southern European blockade, the situation in the entire Mediterranean will completely change. It is conceivable that in the next Foreign Ministers' Meeting, Britain and the United States will use all their strength to force the Soviet Union to dispel this idea. Of course, Li Xiaofeng also wants to see what tricks Britain and the United States will play. To be honest, this is very interesting.

However, Li Xiaofeng still wanted to hear Vycinsky's response plan. He must know whether it is reliable to hand over the daily work of the People's Committee of the Diplomatic Affairs to this guy. If his ideas are contrary to his own, then he should change someone else quickly.

"What I need is your advice, how do you think we should deal with these problems, rather than these bland nonsense!" Li Xiaofeng acted very rudely.

However, his rudeness seemed too normal to Vycinsky. The man with a stingy tongue felt that the anus was tightened and quickly explained: "I think we should strongly safeguard our rights and interests. The troops stationed in Italy were clearly written in black and white in the previous agreement, and this cannot be refused! We must not follow the pace of Britain and the United States, and it is best to implement this agreement."

"Yes." Li Xiaofeng nodded slightly, without giving any more expressions, but said: "Okay, you can go down and continue thinking, and there are any better suggestions to put forward."

Vysinsky left Li Xiaofeng's cabin with a hairy sweat. It can be imagined that this stinky man was probably very nervous at this time, because Li Xiaofeng's attitude was really not good. In his opinion, the advice he gave was not good enough and he failed to scratch the leader's itch. This was quite dangerous in Vysinsky's opinion, which means that he did not gain Li Xiaofeng's recognition and his status was in danger.

Poor Vinsky was frightened. After returning to his position, he quickly started thinking about what exactly did he not satisfy Li Xiaofeng?

This question is indeed very critical, and Vinsky did not completely satisfy Li Xiaofeng. Li Xiaofeng could score about 70 points on him, which is only considered good, and there is still some distance to being excellent.

So what is Li Xiaofeng's attitude towards the occupation of Italy in the subdistrict? He basically agreed with Vycinsky's judgment. It is probably not that easy to garrison troops in Italy. The resistance from Britain and the United States will be very great. But this is indeed the power of the Soviet Union and cannot be given up at will.

Let me put it this way, the garrison of Italy is a useless rib for the Soviet Union, and it is a pity to abandon it. If you hold a tough stance on this issue and insist on it to the end, then it is not impossible for a symbolic garrison of Italy. Britain and the United States can completely send one or two thousand Soviet Red Army to Italy, but this is more like a slap in the face?

If you can't get a base in Italy and station a heavy army or even a fleet, then stationing Italy is a joke, wasting money in vain, and it's just a good look in terms of face.

Li Xiaofeng is unwilling to do such things that can make people lose face. If you want to station troops in Italy, you must play the real thing, not formalism. Of course, this is something that Britain and the United States will never agree. So Li Xiaofeng means that you can choose not to face and use the station troops in Italy to trade with Britain and the United States in exchange for some substantial benefits?

I'm afraid Li Xiaofeng doesn't have this intention. It's not impossible to make a transaction, but both parties have to think it's worth it, right? For Britain and the United States, they naturally want to pass it over to the Soviet Union through a few melons and two dates. The problem is that the political and political bureau is willing to work. And if Britain and the United States have to give up their troops to Italy, they may not think it's cost-effective. After all, there is no Red Army on the Apennine Peninsula now, and it is completely the world of the British and American coalition forces. Why should they cut a piece of the territory they captured for the polar bears?

Therefore, the proposals that Britain and the United States can provide compensation for the Soviet Union are probably useless, and such a deal is naturally impossible to reach. In other words, there is no room for compromise in this matter. It is impossible to end in a happy comedy.

So what happens if the two sides fail to reach an agreement? I'm afraid it's the United Kingdom and the United States that join forces to disgust the Soviet Union and give the Soviet Union some of the power to garrison the army to make excuses. If the Soviet Union does not accept it, then Britain and the United States may just tear their face and not give face, and even don't give this symbolic face. Anyway, Italy is under their control. Could it be that the Soviet Union can risk the world's tyranny and start the three-war mode?

Anyway, it is unlikely that Britain and the United States will give in. Is the best result that the Soviet Union will get as many as possible back? According to Vycinsky's tone, he may be inclined to squeeze more oil and water. Perhaps in his opinion, this is the limit.

But this is something that Li Xiaofeng cannot accept. It is not that a certain immortal wants to save face, but that in his opinion, such compromise will lead to greater benefits. Yes, Britain and the United States give more than two more melons and two more dates, and if the Soviet Union accepts it, it means that the Soviet Union chose to recognize Britain and the United States on this issue, and there is no so-called controversy.

This seems to maintain the unity of allies and world peace, but it is quite unfavorable to the overall national interests of the Soviet Union. To be deduced, today, the Soviet Union was beaten by a few melons and two dates in Italy. Can Americans in Japan be the same as the law tomorrow? After all, he is the boss on the Pacific battlefield and has the strongest strength. Who can resist if he really wants to take over Japan?

If this happens, is it a loss of national interests again if it is given or not. If it is given, the Americans will have an excuse if they don’t give in. They think this is the Italian model. Since the Soviet Union could accept the Italian model before, why are you now "doing around" on the Japanese issue? With Yankees' urinary nature, you will definitely make a fuss!

Not only Japan, but also a more critical German issue. According to Li Xiaofeng's previous idea, Germany will definitely take it alone. Once it accepts the Italian model, it will be difficult to talk when it occupys Germany alone in the future. You can't say: "If you Britain and the United States take Italy alone, Germany will have to belong to me, right?"

At that time, Britain and the United States had something to say: "Italia, you, the polar bear, gave up! We didn't say give up in Germany!"

Isn't this passive? So the correct approach is to leave a foreshadowing on the issue of Italy's occupation, and to block the mouths of Britain and the United States for the sake of exclusive Germany. Therefore, the struggle model is quite special. We must adhere to principles to safeguard the power of the Soviet Union's united forces in Italy, and we cannot let Britain and the United States discover this is a pit to ensure that the Soviet Union will legally occupy Germany in the future. To fully achieve these two points, it really requires very superb means. Unfortunately, there are not many people in the Soviet Union who have such means. Trotsky did, Sverdlov did not necessarily have it, and Li Xiaofeng thought he had it.

As for whether Vysinsky has it, it is hard to say for the time being, but Li Xiaofeng believes that if Vysinsky is given the correct hint and guidance, the combat effectiveness of this savage-tongued man can still be expected.

The question now is when will the trump card be told Vycinsky that the issue of German occupation is highly confidential after all, and now it is only conveyed within the Political Bureau, and no one knows it. If the news is leaked too early, it would be a bit unsightly.

Because Li Xiaofeng knew very well that the Political Bureau might be able to keep the secret in a short time, but when he arrived at the *************, the secrets were leaked very quickly. No one could stop the Central Committee from secretly interoperating with each other, even Li Xiaofeng could not. Once the Central Committee members knew, it would be a matter of time before the British and American spies knew that they were sincere.

Therefore, Li Xiaofeng could only temporarily say sorry to Vysinsky for a while. The new deputy diplomatic people's committee member could only carry out his work in a foggy way. He had to deal with the enemy while slowly guessing what the political and political bureau was thinking.

This is really difficult for ordinary people to master, but Li Xiaofeng believes that Vysinsky has this ability. And just imagine that if even Vysinsky doesn't know what the ultimate goal is, the British and American foreign ministers who negotiated with him may not know even more. In that case, the Soviet Union's true intentions can be kept confidential for a longer time... (To be continued.)
