392 Ginger is old and spicy
Li Xiaofeng is a little unable to keep up with the tutor's thinking. How come you suddenly get involved in the political commissar? What kind of thinking is leaps and bounds?
While this guy was thinking about what was going on, the tutor suddenly spoke again: "Go and call Comrade Yakov, let's make up together!"
Li Xiaofeng welcomed this proposal. Since Stalin made a big mistake last time, he, Sverdlov and his mentor had not had a small meeting for a long time. An invisible barrier appeared between the two sides, which alienated their relationship a lot.
Li Xiaofeng has a lot of opinions on this, of course, he has an objection to Stalin. You sinister villain actually fiddled with such sinister tricks to inspire the relationship between the tutor and us. We have not finished this account!
But what is strange is that Sverdlov seems to be distant from being a tutor and does not care much about it. Li Xiaofeng even vaguely feels that Comrade Xiao Si is a little happy about it, as if this is a good thing.
"Of course it's a good thing!"
Taking this opportunity to ask for a certain immortal who was puzzled, he finally got a positive response from Sverdlov. Comrade Xiaos explained with a smile: "Andre, we are destined to do great things. Although Comrade Lenin's trust and appreciation for us is a good thing, in the long run, this is not very beneficial to us!"
Li Xiaofeng scratched the back of his head, but he really couldn't understand. If you want to get promoted and make a fortune, you must have the appreciation from your superiors. What's wrong with the mentor treating them as confidants?
"This is not conducive to our independence!" Sverdlov said in a word. "If we only follow Comrade Lenin's leadership in everything, then in the eyes of other comrades, we are just Comrade Lenin's phony tube and phony tube! If we want to do big things, we must obtain corresponding status! If we always act as phony tube and phony tube, think about it, what would happen to us if Comrade Lenin is gone?"
Li Xiaofeng was a little stunned. For a moment, he thought Sverdlov was also possessed by time traveling through the crowd. How did you know that something would happen to the tutor next year, and how did you know that the tutor would not live to be 60 years old? Are you making arrangements in advance?
"Of course we must make arrangements in advance!" Sverdlov taught someone earnestly, "Although we are close comrades to Comrade Lenin, we must also hold our own political stance. Although the struggle within the party is not obvious now, it will inevitably become quite fierce in the future! The louder the voice we make in the party, the more beneficial it will be to us!"
Li Xiaofeng's mind was bloated and he said dizzyly: "But. Will this... cause Comrade Lenin to misunderstand?"
Sverdlov smiled and said, "How could Comrade Lenin misunderstand? In fact, what we do is most in line with Comrade Lenin's wishes!"
Li Xiaofeng was completely dizzy. For the first time, he found that his political wisdom was quite limited, at least he didn't understand a word of what Sverdlov just said!
"Haha!" Sverdlov smiled, laughing quite sly, "Andre, I thought you had already experienced it, but now I realize that you don't know anything!"
If someone else talked to a certain immortal like this, Li Xiaofeng might be furious, but Comrade Xiaosi is different. They are now grasshoppers on a rope. The relationship between the two parties is too close. In a sense, it is Sverdlov, the brother, led his "little brother" to advance and retreat together. It is not embarrassing to be taught a lesson by his brother.
"Yakov, tell me quickly, I've been completely confused!" Li Xiaofeng hurriedly asked.
Sverdlov nodded and said slowly: "Actually, I have only realized recently. There are three forces in the party now..."
Li Xiaofeng said: "The extreme right-wingers led by Kamenev and Zinoviev, then the continuous revolutionaries led by Trotsky, and then Comrade Lenin and us..."
"It's good that you know!" Sverdlov nodded again, "There are the smallest forces among them. They don't have much influence on the party. So the one that needs attention the most, or the one that needs attention the most in the future is Trotsky. If I guessed correctly, he will be our biggest enemy in the future!"
Li Xiaofeng did not agree very much about this. He curled his lips and said, "I think our biggest enemy is Stalin. This guy is too sinister. You must pay attention to his playfulness!"
Sverdlov smiled again: "There is no essential difference between you and I. I look at the problem from the perspective of Comrade Lenin, and you are from the perspective of our two..."
Li Xiaofeng was a little ashamed. Sverdlov had given him face. It should be said that Comrade Xiaos' assertion was very correct. The only opponent in the party that needs the mentor to pay attention to was Trotsky. Lao Tzu was too powerful and too rape. To be fair, whether it was Stalin, Sverdlov or a half-baked fairy, he could not match the other party in terms of real talent and knowledge. The only person in the party who could force him was the mentor himself.
As the second-ranked figure in the party now, it is not surprising that he should be the only one who takes the position of the mentor. But it is obvious that the successor that the mentor likes is not Trotsky. The differences between the two are obvious, but they have temporarily come together because of the overall situation of the revolution.
As I said just now, there are almost no one who can compare with Trotsky on the side of the mentor, and their overall quality is as good as Trotsky. This determines that whether Stalin or Sverdlov fights Trotsky alone, the winning rate may not be high, and there is even a possibility of being an analgesic.
The only way to restrain Trotsky is to unite. Before getting Trotsky, the successors that the mentor likes must unite to unite and to the outside world. This is what Sverdlov said that the biggest enemy is Trotsky.
But at the same time, it must be seen that there is only one successor. For the time being, the most likely candidate is Sverdlov, and then Stalin. For the final throne, these two people must decide the outcome.
How to decide the winner? Of course, it is to show your personal ability and charm, and try hard to express yourself. The better you perform, the brighter the future will be. Therefore, in order to cultivate successors, the mentors must appropriately delegate power to candidates.
Think about it, in this case, only the mentors are the leader, and being a mentor is not in line with the candidate's identity. Candidates must have the ability to handle affairs independently and must have a certain prestige and status within the party. Therefore, the relationship between candidates and mentors will inevitably change. That is to say, candidates must independently support the sky while following the mentors.
After Sverdlov's explanation, Li Xiaofeng fully understood why the mentor's attitude towards him and Sverdlov recently was strange. As candidates, both Sverdlov and Stalin had the power to form a system under Lenin's sect. However, the mentor is not dead yet, and the struggle with Trotsky is still based on the mentor's first. In this case, no matter which of these two companies is too strong, they are not in the interests of the mentor.
What is the situation that is most in line with the interests of the mentor? Sverdlov and Stalin compete with each other and hold back each other. Under the referee of the mentor, a long political marathon was held. Those who persist to the end will win everything. The tragic Trotsky will act as the whetstone in the hands of the mentor.
After thinking through all this, Li Xiaofeng naturally knew why Sverdlov thought this was a good thing. As a candidate, Sverdlov's position in the party will be consolidated and enhanced, and he may even take over the tutor's class in the future. What is this not a good thing? Isn't this ten thousand times better than being a tutor's tutor's tutor and following?
Even if this long marathon will be extremely difficult, Sverdlov has already started a good start and is 10,000 times happier than those who do not even have the qualifications to participate.
The only thing that made Li Xiaofeng more depressed was that the role he played in this was obviously not considered a candidate by the mentor. He was too young and had too shallow qualifications. Even if he had strong abilities, he could not make up for this shortcoming. Moreover, his relationship with Sverdlov was too good. In order to maintain balance, his power must be limited, otherwise this marathon would not be compared at all.
My brother was shot while lying down! Li Xiaofeng was speechless, but now he has waded into this muddy water, and it is impossible to quit. If you want to make a name for yourself, you must support Sverdlov. But think about it again, the one who can take over the tutor class is either Sverdlov or Stalin. He doesn't like the steel guy, and in fact he has no choice at all.
However, Li Xiaofeng still didn't understand a little. He thought that the tutor asked them to hold a small meeting to repair the relationship, but according to Sverdlov's analysis, this possibility does not exist at all. Since that is the case, why should I hold this meeting? And even if I have to hold a small meeting, I shouldn't leave that guy Stalin out?
"The reason is very simple!" Sverdlov smiled again, "Stalin would not agree with your proposal at all. According to your wishes, Comrade Lenin was already moved. So in order to avoid unnecessary trouble and reduce resistance, of course, it is impossible to ask Stalin to go!"
In fact, Li Xiaofeng also understood that this meeting was indeed not suitable for Stalin, but by analogy, the steel product will also have proposals that can impress the mentor in the future. This proposal may not be favored by him and Sverdlov, and naturally they will not call them when they secretly hold a small meeting.
To be honest, this result was not what Li Xiaofeng wanted. He really didn't plan to join the team so early, just wanted to serve the mentor unbiasedly. But now, by chance, he joined Sverdlov's camp, which may have a significant impact on his future arrangements.
This guy was thinking about how to adjust his plan, and Sverdlov suddenly asked, "Comrade Lenin has any explanation besides asking you to call me?"
Of course there is no other explanation, but what Li Xiaofeng cares more about is the political commissar mentioned by the supervisor.
"Political Commissar?" Sverdlov frowned and suddenly said, "I know what Comrade Lenin means. The political commissar's method is indeed good!"
Well, Li Xiaofeng became increasingly unconfident in his political IQ. Sverdlov just listened to the word "political commissar" and grasped the thoughts of the mentor. He had a lot of things with the mentor, but he still didn't understand the thoughts of the mentor. People are really incomparable!
"Andre, you don't have to be too disappointed," Sverdlov smiled. "You are just too concerned about the appointment of old officers, and you are confused."
"What does the political commissar mean?" Li Xiaofeng asked impatiently.
"Comrade Lenin's meaning may be that he intends to use loyal political commissar to supervise the old soldiers who surrender. With the surveillance and control of the political commissar, it will be much more difficult for them to play tricks. The most important thing is..."
Li Xiaofeng said: "The most important thing is that the political commissar can be used to block the mouths of those opposition parties!"
Sverdlov also smiled: "That's right!"
But is Lenin's mind really that simple? It should be said that Sverdlov only guessed part of it correctly. The tutor did have the idea of using the political commissar to monitor old soldiers, but this is not all.
"The candidates for political commissar are very important!" The instructor preached very seriously, "As a bridge to communicate with the party and the army, their existence is far more than just supervising a few old officers! They must monitor the psychological and mental state of the troops under their command and mobilize the enthusiasm of the soldiers. In short, their existence will ensure that the army serves our party, not the party serves the army!"
Li Xiaofeng was surprised. Could this be the legendary party commanding the gun? It seems that this should be Taizu's military thought. However, it is not surprising that the mentor could come up with such an idea. The Russian army now has too many thoughts. Yesterday they might have supported a certain party, but today they might suddenly turn the gun at a certain party.
The reason why the Cadets and the Provisional Government failed to control the situation is that although their short-sightedness is the fundamental reason, their poor control over the army is also one of the important reasons. It is estimated that the tutor was scared by the fickle Russian soldiers. In order to prevent them from turning against each other in the last days, such a solution was come up.
"But this requires quite high quality of the political commissar!" Li Xiaofeng interrupted.
After all, the political commissar does not have a good reputation in the Soviet army. High-quality political commissars can greatly improve the combat effectiveness and cohesion of the army. But similarly, low-quality political commissars can also kill people and make a living. The debate over political commissars in the Soviet army has always existed, and the intermittent political commissar system has three ups and three downs:
For the first time, the Fifth Congress of the Soviet Union, held in July 1918, passed a resolution to implement the political commissar system in the army and navy until the political commissar was abolished in 1924;
The second time. On May 10, 1937, the political commissar system was re-implemented in accordance with the resolutions of the Central Executive Committee of the Soviet Union and the People's Committee, and it was abolished in August 1940;
The third time, after the outbreak of the Patriotic War in 1941, the political commissar system was restored, and the first-rank system was implemented again in October 1942 until the collapse of the Soviet Union.
Lenin glanced at a certain immortal and said calmly: "So. We must seize the time to train a group of qualified political commissars!"
Sverdlov was surprised, and he asked wide-eyed: "Are you going to let Brusilov train the political commissar? I'm afraid..."
Sverdlov's words surprised Li Xiaofeng. According to his idea, it was enough to just ask Brusilov to train a group of barely qualified lower-level commanders. He really didn't have such courage to train political commissars. In particular, the mentors have always emphasized that it was a bit ruthless to let old soldiers train revolutionary military commanders. Isn't that a ruthless to let them train political commissars?
"I don't plan to let them train the political commissar," Lenin said slowly. "We will select some young political commissars who are loyal to the party and have higher cultural qualities within the party, and then Brusilov will teach them basic military skills... They don't need to know war particularly, they just need to have basic military qualities..."
Li Xiaofeng understood everything. According to his idea, if Brusilov trains officers, it would be difficult under the current conditions. After all, a qualified officer will have to undergo several years of training, and there is not so much time for the imminent civil war.
The level of the officers trained in crash courses is not guaranteed at all. He and the tutor do not want to spend a lot of effort to train a group of people. Therefore, it is too late to start training officers loyal to the Bolsheviks now. If you want to win the future civil war and oppose Western interference, you probably can only use existing talents, such as old officers.
Training political commissars does not require such high requirements. According to what the instructor just revealed, the political commissar does not need to be directly responsible for military command. Their most critical function is to ensure that the army obeys the party's command.
Therefore, the military quality of the political commissar is not the first priority, but they cannot completely ignore the military. Therefore, it is a good choice to provide them with certain military training and then let them monitor those old officers who "reject" in the past.
Because there is no need to be specialized in military affairs, the training time of the political commissar can be greatly shortened, and naturally, it can be "violent soldiers" in a short period of time. This also solves the distrust of the party's old officers. Although they have military command power, the political commissar firmly blocks the possibility of their doing whatever they want. In this way, the opposition has no reason to oppose, and the army led by the party can enhance its combat effectiveness, and the result is that everyone is happy.
Li Xiaofeng looked at the tutor with some admiration. As expected, he changed the form slightly and made the result completely different. This method is more than one who knows only one stubbornness.
Li Xiaofeng and Sverdlov respectfully left the tutor's office. After closing the door, they met and sighed together. At this moment, they all realized that sentence - Jiang is still the spicy!
