052 The Silly Fool
Smirlov and Lomov did not realize how bad their situation was, if they knew that the Kremlin was not lost, if they knew that Li Xiaofeng and Migoyan were launching a fierce attack on the Alexander Military Academy and the Alexey Military Technical Academy, if they knew that Fulongzhi had severely damaged and repelled Karekin.
If they knew all this, they would definitely not make the decision to pretend to be deaf and dumb. Yes, the reason why they chose to wait and see was very simple because they could not see the situation clearly.
The situation was worse than they thought. Oh, it should be said that it was much better. The future of the armed uprising was bright. The demise of the National Rescue Revolutionary Committee was only a matter of time. At this moment, they thought that Zinoviev had some hope. If Li Xiaofeng, who suffered a "hard blow", stopped the current affairs and continued to provoke the enemy without "destroying himself", then the peace talks could achieve results.
Based on this understanding, they did not completely draw a line with Zinoviev, but chose to act indifferently and wait and see. They naively thought that whether Zinoviev won in the end or Li Xiaofeng successfully disrupted the situation, they would not make any mistakes and could shirk all responsibilities.
It can only be said that they are too naive. Whether it is Li Xiaofeng or Migoyang, there is only one purpose for coming to Moscow - that is to make achievements, or to grab territory. As the main figures in the Moscow Party Committee, as the faction that favors Zinoviev, whether it is Smirlov, Lomov or Mularov are all targets of attack. If these hindered guys cannot be kicked out, they will not be able to truly control the Moscow Party Committee. If this cannot be achieved, wouldn’t they be in vain?
“How was the negotiation going?”
After learning about the news of Fu Longzhi's complete victory, Migoyang asked the negotiations for the first time. This shows that he has keenly realized that the final battle is coming, and whether he can control Moscow will be defeated in one fell swoop.
"Our mayor seems to be very confident," Li Xiaofeng said sarcastically. From the beginning, the negotiations between Rudnev and Zinoviev were under his full monitoring. Not only were the Troko guards lurking in the venue, but the Nobel family's playboy was also acting as his inner support, so he knew the progress of the meeting clearly. "He felt that the frustration of Karekin's reinforcements was good news for him! This idiot is still dreaming!"
Migoyan nodded, not knowing whether he agreed to Rudnev as a fool or the mayor's daydream. "Does it be time for us to take action?" he asked suddenly, "If they know what is going on now, negotiations will become a joke. At that time, Zinoviev would definitely give up on negotiations. We cannot miss this opportunity!"
Li Xiaofeng knew very well what Migoyang was talking about. The reason why they made the current situation in Moscow was vague. It was nothing more than setting up a trap, which was to use false or asymmetric news to make Zinoviev mistakenly. If he could sign a ridiculous peace agreement with Moscow's Revolutionary Military Commission, then the so-called peace agreement would become his confession.
If nothing unexpected happens, the political future of Zinoviev, who is so low-level and unforgivable, and the Moscow Revolutionary Military Commission, will be completely destroyed. They will lose everything and may even die.
After cleaning up these idiots who were in trouble, as important figures in leading the Moscow armed uprising to victory, Li Xiaofeng and Migoyang's troops will naturally take over their positions, and then naturally carry out a major cleaning of the Moscow Party Committee, eliminate the opposition, arrange the confidants, and then everyone will be happy.
Now is the most critical moment. If Zinoviev knew all this, he would probably end the negotiations decisively and would immediately withdraw. Even if Li Xiaofeng and Migoyang could achieve a series of brilliant victories, they would probably not be able to achieve the goal of cleaning the Moscow Party Committee. Therefore, Zinoviev must complete the negotiations and reach an agreement. This crime is too important!
"Are you worried about that fool Gregory?" Li Xiaofeng suddenly asked.
Migoyang nodded solemnly. He valued the old fox of Zinoviev. From the very beginning, he realized that Zinoviev and Kamenev were very critical to Stalin. If Stalin could destroy these two political zombies, it would greatly improve its political status.
However, Migoyan also realized that although Lenin was like playing house with Zinoviev, the same thing was not particularly easy for Stalin. After all, Stalin's foundation was too shallow, and his qualifications, prestige and theoretical level were not outstanding in the party. Even if he had become Lenin's confidant, he would not be able to respond to it.
To be honest, Stalin's current power is on the same level as Zinoviev and Kamenev, and the two goods are even stronger. It is not easy to fight against the strong with weak. If you are not sure, it would be better to give up this idea.
What's more, Kamenev and Zinoviev are both tried and tested political old men. Their political sense is too keen. If there is any mistake, the fox will be beaten to death and will make him feel uncomfortable. Therefore, Migoyang must be very cautious!
"Gregorian is difficult to deal with. If he reacts, if the idiots from the Revolutionary Military Commission reveal anything to him, he may immediately terminate the negotiations!" Migoyang said worriedly, "I don't want to cook a pot of raw rice!"
"You don't need to worry about this possibility at all," Li Xiaofeng curled his lips and replied indifferently: "The guys from the Revolutionary Military Commission are not good birds, nor are they completely in the same mind as Gregory. To put it bluntly, their current relationship is just to use each other!"
When he said that using these words to each other, Li Xiaofeng smiled at Mi Gaoyang, as if he was pointing out something, but he immediately continued: "A relationship like them can be rich and noble, but it is impossible to share hardships. As long as the situation is not good, they will immediately undermine each other and add to each other's injury. So if the idiots of the Revolutionary Military Commission know something, the more likely choice is to push Gregory, the idiot into the fire pit while protecting themselves!"
"You mean, even if they find that something is wrong, they won't inform Gregory?"
"That's right!" Li Xiaofeng smiled, "They will never inform you. It's more likely that they will put all the responsibility on Gregorian and then try hard to clear themselves."
Mi Gaoyang fell into deep thought. It was not that he did not believe Li Xiaofeng's inference. On the contrary, he made the same inference himself. He just spoke out just as a temptation. He wanted to know if someone was really so sensitive to politics and whether he really had the ability to understand people's hearts.
The result is that the answer is quite clear. When Li Xiaofeng said the words of using each other and smiled at him strangely, he understood. The other party was indeed so smart, even more smarter than he thought. Because it was obvious that using each other's words means something, but it was definitely not referring to the idiots Smirlov and Lomov, but more like describing their cooperative relationship.
Even Migoyan can understand the meaning of warning from these words. Someone seemed to be warning him in a side-by-side manner - the relationship between us is obvious. It is to use each other, don't try to make trouble, and don't use this method to test, because... because this kind of temptation has no meaning!
Mi Gaoyang nodded again pretending to behave, as if he had just realized something. He said with a smile: "Your analysis makes sense, and Gregory is indeed not worth worrying about. And if you think about it carefully, in fact, that idiot has long been stubborn. He is now focused on cooperating with the enemy, thinking that negotiations can save his future and save the revolution! A fool like him will not wake up at all!"
Speaking of this, Mi Gaoyang suddenly quickly put away his smile and said seriously: "So, now it seems that the real worry is Comrade Rudnev Fulongzhi, who is not sure of the truth, did a beautiful job, ah..."
After sighing, he continued, "It is equivalent to helping Rudnev relieve the imminent crisis. Without Karekin's threat, Rudnev will be more confident at the negotiation table, and he may become more patient, but he is afraid that it will not be so easy to reach an agreement!"
"Comrade Fu Longzhi's victory is a double-edged sword!" Li Xiaofeng also sighed, "So we must find a way to make Gregory surrender. You said, if we let Gregory know that Mulalov failed to trap me successfully, what would you say?"
Migoyan did not ask why he didn't put pressure on Rudnev, for example, revealing one or two extremely unfavorable news to him, forcing him to take back those unrealistic conditions. However, if this is done, it is very likely that conditions that are relatively favorable to Zinoviev are achieved. In order to completely destroy the bad-smelling face, they naturally cannot make him too good. So although this method is very good, it cannot be used.
Migoyang thought for a while and said, "I'm afraid Gregory will become very anxious, and he may completely collapse!"
"Do you think he will terminate the negotiations?" Li Xiaofeng asked again.
"It's hard to say," Migoyang thought carefully, but it's really hard to estimate what choice Zinoviev would make, whether to terminate the negotiations or choose the negotiations to the end, "I can't estimate how he will react!"
Li Xiaofeng nodded and said slowly: "However, I have a bold guess. For Gregory now, he basically has no choice. If negotiations cannot be facilitated and if he cannot prove his line to the party members across the country, then his political career will most likely be ended! Do you think Gregory is a person who is willing to give in?"
Mi Gaoyang's expression was extremely solemn. It took him a long time to say, "If I were him, I'm afraid I could only give it a try!"
"Yes!" Li Xiaofeng said with great certainty, "There is no other choice for him, so when facing Rudnev's lion's big talk, he probably has to choose to give in. He may agree to Rudnev's threat first, and then find a way to deal with me!"
"you mean!"
Migoyang was shocked. He fully understood what Li Xiaofeng meant. Someone wanted to put great pressure on Zinoviev, forcing him to agree to Rudnev's unreasonable request. If Zinoviev really signed the unequal contract regardless of the conspiracy, it would be equivalent to verdicting him to death.
It's too poisonous. This is to kill Zinoviev. If Dabingface really signed his name, then you can imagine what a violent storm would be greeted.
Even Migoyan, who wants to do the whole of Zinoviev, thinks it's too ruthless, "Is this too much?"
"Wait?" Li Xiaofeng chuckled and asked back, "If Zinoviev is the one who has the advantage now, do you think he will give us a hand?"
Li Xiaofeng scoffed at Mi Gaoyang's innocence. How cruel and fierce the political struggle is. If he doesn't take action, he will do his best to fight a giant like Zinoviev. He will try his best to fight the other party to the ground and then take ten thousand feet. He will never be able to turn over.
In fact, Mi Gaoyang also understood this truth. The reason why he said such naive words was nothing more than that he attached great importance to Li Xiaofeng. He was instinctively worried about this young man, in order to gain an advantage in the inevitable outbreak of the struggle between the two sides in the future. He decided to show his weakness to the enemy and deliberately acted not so "perfect", just to make Li Xiaofeng relax his vigilance against him.
It has to be said that Mi Gaoyang can indeed be called a scheming and is preparing for future struggles early on. If Li Xiaofeng was really a person of this era, he would probably suffer his secret losses. Unfortunately, Li Xiaofeng was not a person of this era. As a latecomer, he knew Mi Gaoyang's great achievements, and he could not underestimate this old fox.
Even Li Xiaofeng began to doubt Mi Gaoyang's intentions at this moment. A shrewd and capable old fox could never make such a low-level mistake unless he was determined to make a mistake!
At the first moment, Li Xiaofeng sounded the alarm in his heart. Of course, on the surface, he did not show any trace of it. Instead, he cooperated with Mi Gaoyang to play. According to the old fox's idea, he showed the pride and contempt of a young man.
Intrigues are everywhere. While Li Xiaofeng and Migoyang were sporting a two-dragon meeting, Rudnev and Zinoviev at the negotiating table also began to heat up.
Rudnev, who shouldn't have confidence, was very confident, even aggressive. He was becoming more and more aggressive. On the other hand, Zinoviev, who should have confidence, was like an angry young wife, with her eyebrows down and compromising, and was even more powerful than Xianglinsao.
"To achieve a truce and peace, we must hold the initiators of the rebellion accountable, and to bring the anarchists who disrupt Moscow's public order and endanger the personal safety of citizens to justice!" Rudnev shouted domineeringly, "We must punish those sinners who betray the revolution, there is no condition to say!"
Zinoviev on the other side of the negotiating table was very uneasy. Under Rudnev's crazy attack, he felt like he was swallowed by the strong wind and waves. Cold sweat came out one after another. The chair seemed to have nails, and he twisted and couldn't sit still.
Zinoviev wanted to escape from the venue and left with his hands. Since Rudnev's secretary said something in his ear, the mayor began to go crazy, throwing out one by one with harsh conditions, ignoring his feelings at all, as if he was a little white rabbit who could be bullied at will.
If he hadn't had any other way to go, he could only use negotiations to resolve the problem. Zinoviev would have punched the damn big wolf in the eyes and let out a sigh of anger. However, he could not do this, he could only deal with Rudnev patiently and guess what big thing happened, which made the mayor's confidence so strong.
Just as Zinoviev was thinking about it, Usiyevic's secretary broke into the venue. After muttering a few words in Usiyevic's ear, Usiyevic's face suddenly changed.
He leaned into Zinoviev's ear and whispered: "I just received the news that we were deceived by Mularov. That bastard couldn't control Andre Petrovic at all!"
This news was like a bolt from the blue, which shocked Zinoviev. After a while, he lowered his voice and asked anxiously: "Why did you notify me now? What have you done? Come and find Smirlov and Lomov quickly, we must solve this problem immediately!"
Usievic smiled bitterly and reminded: "Smirlov and Lomov both made excuses to leave just now. I guess they had known this news a long time ago!"
"What!"
Zinoviev almost jumped up. He clenched his fists and wanted to vent his vent, but when he saw Rudnev opposite him seemed to have noticed his face, he could only retract the idea hatred.
Zinoviev took a deep breath and thought carefully about the variables brought by this bad news. For a moment, he thought about ending the negotiations, but immediately he realized that he had no way out. He had no way out except to promote the negotiations to reach an agreement.
Thinking of this, Zinoviev made up his mind and stood up suddenly, facing Rudnev's puzzled look, and said calmly: "We understand the mayor's concerns very well, and we also think it is necessary to punish some anarchists who incite the masses to betray the revolution... I personally think that such people must be eliminated from the revolutionary ranks, otherwise the revolution will never be peaceful in the future!"
Speaking of this, Zinoviev took a deep breath and said without hesitation: "So we are ready to agree to Mayor Rudnev's request and will hold those culprits responsible for inciting the masses and launching rebellions in Moscow... I personally believe that these sinners include: Andrei Petrovic, Vladimirsky, Pyanitsky..."
Usievich was shocked. He didn't expect that Zinoviev would make such a big concession, and such a degree of concession could basically be accepted by the Revolutionary Military Commission. He pulled Zinoviev's clothes hard, as if trying to stop him from going crazy.
But soon Usievich discovered that Zinoviev had made up his mind and had already made up his mind to do so, and he cared about his reminders at all.
At this moment, Usievich was so pessimistic that he was almost desperate. If an agreement was reached under such harsh conditions, he would never have good fruits. It can be said that his political future is 100% overwhelmed!
Just when Usiyevic was most desperate, Rudnev finally spoke, but what was surprising was that he was not satisfied with the concessions made by Zinoviev, and he actually put forward more harsh conditions!
Chapter completed!
