Therefore, Trotsky not only took action to gain the opportunity to protect himself. Although Lenin performed very strongly, there was no problem with Trotsky protecting himself in a short period of time. Kamenev and Zinoviev were more of Trotsky's counterattack against Lenin. If he wanted all the party members in the Bolsheviks to show that there was more than one Lenin in the party, and Trotsky was also one of his mentors!

As I said before, Trotsky was an ambitious person. Of course, ambitiousness is not a derogatory term. Everyone has ambitions, such as Trotsky, Lenin, and Sverdlov and Stalin were no exception.

Why do you have to go into politics without ambition? If you really are a saint, you will be finished when you go home and entertain yourself. Why do you have to jump into this manure tank to play with your father?

Trotsky was a very ambitious person, so when faced with Lenin's pressing step by step, he had to fight back and show his status, otherwise he would be really stupid.

Lenin, aren’t you going to destroy Kamenev and Zinoviev under the pretext of revealing secrets within the party? Then I just want to save them. I just want all the comrades in the party to see. This is not your Lenin’s one-man show. I, Trotsky, also have a say, and I have a great say.

It can be said that Trotsky is to send a signal to the opposition within the party that you are not favored by Lenin, and it is difficult to get promoted without hope of being promoted. It doesn’t matter. Follow me, Trotsky, and I will protect you!

To put it bluntly, keeping Kamenev and Zinoviev is equivalent to Trotsky's daughter buying horse bones. He believes that as long as he releases this signal, there will definitely be many people who will defect to him.

Trotsky's idea was right at all. His sudden attack did indeed allow some opposition parties within the party to see hope and light. In the past two months, Lenin has been too strong and has almost swept away all opposition forces in the party. However, the mentor's armed struggle line is not that no one opposes, but the people who oppose are either weak or have been disgraced by the mentor long ago, but they dare not object directly.

In the past, their minds were Kamenev and Zinoviev, but the performance of these two goods was that they were not on the table. Originally, they thought they would never have a chance to stand out, so they could only choose to endure and give in. But Trotsky's sudden rise gave them great hope.

Needless to say, Trotsky's ability and qualifications are more than Kamenev and Zinoviev. During the Social Democratic Labor Party, he was one of the giants in the party, and his ranking was on par with Lenin. Although his status has been reduced due to the merger between the two parties, he is also the absolute number two in the party. To put it bluntly, he is the leader, but he is not weaker than Jiaji.

Of course, just being able to have status and qualifications. This is not the most attractive thing to the opposition within the party. If Trotsky was as radical as Lenin, then the opposition within the party would probably still stay away from him. As the old saying goes, the difference in the way is not enough and the plan.

What really touched the opposition to Trotsky was that although Lao Tau was left-minded and radical, he was still different from Lenin. He was not as crazy as the mentor. He tended to be the middle route in the route, and his attitude towards armed uprising was not wholeheartedly focused.

Too sinister. Too black-hearted!

Looking at Trotsky wearing glasses, who was gentle and scholarly, Li Xiaofeng felt Trotsky's cunning for the first time. Look at the seemingly high-sounding words he said seemed selfless, but they were all bad.

Must fight back!

Li Xiaofeng shouted in his heart, "Master, Comrade Xiao Si, and Hemp Steel, don't pretend to be deep. Go up and suck me!"

As if hearing Li Xiaofeng's shout, Stalin stood up and said fiercely: "I don't agree. The party's discipline is the Iron Rule, the behavior of Kamenev and Zinoviev is simply intentional. If such behavior is not dealt with strictly and indulged in them, how can we convince the public in the future?"

Trotsky seemed to have expected Stalin to say this, and he asked calmly: "Comrade Stalin, what do you think you can convince the public?"

"Expel them from the party!" Stalin said without hesitation.

"Oh?" Trotsky said slowly, "Is this too heavy? After all, they are comrades in the party and alternate members of the Central Committee. Isn't giving them any chance to correct the situation? Isn't it too much?"

Just as Stalin was about to speak, Lenin took over the conversation without saying a word: "Then, Comrade Trotsky, what do you think should be dealt with?"

Trotsky was a little surprised. He thought Lenin would not take action so quickly, dealing with Stalin or Sverdlov, and he was confident, but he had to be careful when facing Lenin.

Therefore, he did not answer this question immediately. He had to consider the variables clearly. After a long time, he slowly said: "I personally think that giving them a warning within the party and expelling them from the Central Committee is the heaviest punishment!"

There was a whisper in the venue. Trotsky's punishment plan proposed was serious, it was indeed very serious. The Central Committee is not so easy to advance. It was a very serious punishment for Kamenev and Zinoviev in an instant.

But you really say that the punishment is very heavy. After all, Kamenev and Zinoviev are just alternate members of the Central Committee. Alternative members have no human rights, that is, they are qualified to speak reasonably and legally. There is no voting or something. Even if they are beaten, they cannot be said to have an irreversible impact on them. As long as their party membership is still there, they can continue to make trouble within the party.

Moreover, Trotsky's move also contained more sinister intentions. Stalin said that he was expelled from the party, and what he said was that he was expelled from the Central Committee. If Ji finally retained his party membership, then he had to remember Trotsky's goodness. The final result was that Lenin became a villain, and Trotsky received benefits from both inside and outside.

Of course, on the other hand, if Lenin did not want to push Ga, Ji completely to Trotsky's side and further ease his attack, then the mentor would slap his own mouth, which further highlighted his Trotsky's power. Moreover, if Jia knew about the incident, Ji would probably still think of Trotsky's.

So after all, he was Trotsky who was always the one who was always cheaper. If Lenin really wanted to save face and didn't give Trotsky some chance, then he would have to be tough and be really expelled from Ji's party membership.

In Li Xiaofeng's opinion, the mentor seems to have only one way to go, but to his surprise, the mentor did not choose this way, and he did not even choose any of the above solutions.

"Leaking secrets within the party is a very serious and vicious incident," Lenin said slowly. "I am quite incomprehensible about what Comrade Kamenev and Zinoviev did. Is it so difficult for a Bolshevik to observe the party's discipline? What party does not allow comrades to speak freely? Where does this conclusion come from? When will our party not allow different opinions? I do not agree with this absurd statement. Comrade Trotsky, I want to know how you came to this conclusion!"

Trotsky was a little stunned. He didn't expect that Lenin suddenly turned his gun and fired at him with all his might. Aren't we discussing Kamenev and Zinoviev? Why did you get involved with me?

However, for this question, he had to answer: "I just think our comrades have the right to retain their opinions, that's all..."

Lenin asked bluntly: "Has the Central Committee not allowed Kamenev and Zinoviev to retain their opinions? Or did the Central Committee members have a resolution to punish these two dissenters?"

Trotsky was speechless.

Looking at him, Lenin snorted heavily: "There are different opinions within the party. It is allowed and reasonable for comrades to keep their own opinions. However, retaining different opinions does not mean that they can leak the party's secrets in newspapers outside the party and criticize the party's decisions casually! This is not to keep their own opinions. Instead, they openly sing against the party and openly oppose the party's democratic resolution! This is absolutely not allowed!"

Lenin slapped the table heavily, and everyone present seemed to feel the anger of the mentor and was even more frightened by his momentum. Everyone felt that Kamenev and Zinoviev were dead. Even with Trotsky as their protection, they were doomed.

However, a shocking scene happened soon. The mentor seemed to have completely forgotten Kamenev and Zinoviev, and instead emphasized the party's discipline: "The mistakes of Kamenev and Zinoviev were not accidental. A large number of comrades in our party have not attached importance to the party's discipline at all, and they have not taken the party's decisions seriously at all. This kind of idea is very dangerous! In order to prevent problems from happening, I think it is necessary to clarify the party's discipline again. The democratic decisions of the Central Committee and the Politburo must be abide by. Even if you have different opinions, you must obey. Anyone who does not obey the leadership of the party or the resolutions of the party is not necessary to stay in the party... Every party member, the Central Committee, and the Politburo must make written guarantees to ensure that they obey the democratic resolutions of the party unconditionally!"

Trotsky was shocked. He had never expected that Lenin would take advantage of the problem and suddenly made such a big article.

"Will this resolution be discussed until the next enlarged central meeting be held?" Trotsky said quickly.

"No need!" Lenin flatly refused, "The situation is already very serious. There are definitely more than one or two Kamenevs and Zinoviev in our party. If the discipline is not clear, the subsequent revolutionary work will be completely impossible to carry out. Except for a few alternate members of the Central Committee. All members of the Central Committee are here now, and I think we can vote immediately!"

"I agree! It is indeed necessary to clarify the seriousness of discipline!" Sverdlov said the first.

Stalin was not behind: "Comrade Lenin was right. The disorganization and undiscipline of Kamenev and Zinoviev are definitely not isolated incidents, and it is very necessary to pay attention to it!"

After pondering for a moment, Derrensky also said: "At a critical moment of the revolution, it is necessary to emphasize the party's discipline. I agree with Comrade Lenin's proposal!"

What else can Trotsky say? The four members of the Politburo have agreed, and it doesn’t make sense for him to object. As for the Central Committee, when they see the weather vane of the Politburo, they will naturally make the same choice.

Soon, the voting results of the Central Committee came out. Although they did not pass Lenin's proposal with an overwhelming advantage, they also gained the majority of their approval.

Trotsky looked at Lenin with hatred. Lenin caught him off guard with this move. If he didn't fight back quickly, then today would be in vain.

He quickly put the topic back: "Comrade Lenin, then what will be done with Kamenev and Zinoviev?"

Trotsky felt that as long as the punishment against Canadian and Ji was implemented, he would not be too failure today. But how could Lenin make him happy? He smiled slightly and said: "Their behavior was quite bad, but the central government did not make written regulations before. So I think that as long as they make profound reviews, reflect on their mistakes, and make written guarantees to comply with the central government's resolutions in accordance with the central government's requirements. Then we will not be an example!"

Trotsky was almost vomiting blood. Lenin's move was too cunning. He even added it on the grounds that the central government had not specified it before. If those two people were not fools, then it would not be particularly difficult to make a review and write a written guarantee. Then, it turned out that big things were small and small things were turned out?

"This..." Trotsky was so depressed that he wanted to hit the wall. What he really wanted was not the result!

"Why, Comrade Trotsky, do you have different opinions?" Lenin asked with a smile.

"No!" Trotsky replied muffled. If he insisted on a different opinion, then Lenin would kick the ball back with one kick. At that time, he would have been thinking about taunting Kamenev and Zinoviev. Isn't this a self-taught slap?

Trotsky left angrily. He was coming with great force. He never expected that such a result would be the end. This battle between dragons and tigers made Li Xiaofeng excited and admired the ability of the mentor to turn his hands to make the clouds and rain. To be fair, this result was already quite difficult for the mentor to make the mentor.

"Why!"

But to his surprise, the tutor seemed to have no intention of being happy. He rubbed his temples irritably and kept sighing, as if he had lost a battle.

Li Xiaofeng asked inexplicably: "Comrade Lenin, didn't we win? Why are you?"
