111 The Battle of the Hill (Part 1)
At this time, Lenin suddenly announced the convening of an enlarged meeting of the Central Committee. The first thing that most people think of is whether this is the rhythm of a major earthquake. After all, the assassination of Ulitsky cannot be concealed at all, and now it is a storm. In any case, the central government must respond to the assassination of the Politburo member. Otherwise, where is the face of the Politburo and the Central Committee? There must be an explanation for Ulitburo?
As for what kind of explanations can be given, this caused a big discussion among the party's leaders. Some said that such vicious incidents must be dominated by the Constitutional Democratic Party and the Social Revolutionary Party. The counter-revolutionary forces led by the Mensheviks are interfering, and the central government should take a heavy blow to severely attack their arrogance.
Of course, some people say that it is true that the counter-revolutionaries are making trouble, but the Moscow Party Committee also has an unshirkable responsibility. It is precisely because they did not control the situation in Moscow well that the counter-revolutionary activities have become rampant. Therefore, the Moscow Party Committee must recognize its mistakes, apologize, and give Comrade Ulitsky an explanation.
In fact, you can see at a glance who the interests of these two opinions represent - the former can basically be confirmed as the direct descendant of the mentor, so you naturally have to turn all responsibilities on the counter-revolutionaries.
The latter, partly the Trotskyist Trotsky, and the other part is the remnants of Zinoviev and Kamenev who were defeated in the previous struggle. During this period, they were more or less focused on the mentor. It would be impossible to say that there was no resentment. Therefore, now that he finally caught the opportunity, he must be desperately trying to give the mentor eye drops.
Likov, who withdrew from the Central Committee a while ago, appeared at the enlarged meeting of the Central Committee for the first time. After the mentor briefly described the attack on Ulitsky, he first rushed to speak:
"I personally think that without catching the murderer, I simply and one-sidedly believe that the assassination is dominated by counter-revolutionaries. This is irresponsible. Without any evidence, how can such a conclusion be drawn? I think it is not too late to find the murderer after careful and meticulous reconnaissance, find evidence, and then draw a conclusion!"
On the surface, Li Kefu's words seem to make sense. Without investigation, there is no right to speak! Now the investigation work has just begun. With no clues or evidence, we will make a conclusion and blame the counter-revolutionaries. It seems...it seems too hasty?
Haha, if you really think so, it would be a pity. This fully shows that you are not suitable for politics. To describe it in a not-too-political sentence, it is very stupid and naive. Politics only obeys interests and does not obey the truth of the gods. Most of the time, the truth is not important at all, and it only depends on what kind of truth the people in power need.
For example, this assassination case, no matter what the truth is, it can only be done by counter-revolutionaries, and there is no second possibility. Why? Because the truth cannot be explored at this time. If it is proved that it is not done by counter-revolutionaries, the result can only be directed to the struggle within the party. This will cause a 12-level typhoon. The mentor will never allow this situation! He can only and must create a harmonious atmosphere, and must make the grassroots party members feel that the whole party is united and the future is bright, otherwise he will be brainless.
At this time, Likov said something that seemed to be upright, but in fact he was really decisive! Although he did not draw any conclusions, nor did he say that Ulitsky's assassination was a bloody internal struggle within the party, and he seemed to put forward constructive opinions fairly. But in fact, this guy was uneasy and wanted to trigger conflicts. To be honest, he was suspected of inciting Trotsky and Lenin's real person to compete. He was not sure, so he planned to take advantage of the time when Lao Tzu and his mentor were fighting to the death and taking advantage of the situation.
This possibility exists, and it can even be said to be very obvious. For example, Ji Can Party, like him, has little room for activities in the party. If the tutor and Trotsky are in harmony, they will be cleaned up in minutes. So he must be the messenger.
Moreover, Likov did a very clever job. After a shot, he didn't say much and sat down directly, being honest like a quail. But Sverdlov on the stage was already so angry that he was itchy.
Why is Xiao Si so angry?
The reason is very simple. According to a very simple inference, the most passive thing about Ulitsky's assassination was the Moscow Party Committee and Li Xiaofeng, because in the eyes of many people, the source of the matter was them. If they did not trouble the Cadet Party, naturally Ulitsky would not need to go to Moscow, and if he did not go to Moscow, there would be no such mess.
This is just the idea of ordinary people. If it were the guy who was dark and liked to guess conspiracy theories, he might think that the ones who attacked Ulitsky were Mularov and Li Xiaofeng. Obviously, the ones who got rid of a member of the Politburo were Xiao Si and the mentor, and maybe they had colluded.
Whether it is based on the first simple and direct inference or the conspiracy theory inference, it seems that we should be responsible for this matter, and the blame is the Moscow Party Committee and Li Xiaofeng. Isn’t it just to give Trotsky and Ulitsky an explanation? Just cut those two goods!
According to these two opinions, the tutor can just abandon his troops and protect the commander. But if Lenin really did this, the biggest loss was Sverdlov. He finally grabbed the Moscow Party Committee in his hands. Before he could warm up, he inexplicably was wasted all his efforts. He also took in an important comrade-in-arms Li Xiaofeng. Are he willing to suffer such a loss?
What's more, Xiao Si knew very well that Ulitzki's assassination had nothing to do with Mularov and Li Xiaofeng. That idiot just got shot at the right time. This was a disaster!
So Sverdlov must refute Likov, making his inability to stir up trouble: "I disagree with Comrade Likov's opinion. What does it mean to not draw conclusions without careful investigation? Do you mean to point out something? I don't understand. It is quite obvious that hating our Bolshevik enemies now is very obvious. These counter-revolutionaries attacked the Soviets of the engineer representative the night before, causing great casualties. The next day, Comrade Ulitsky was assassinated. Do you dare to say that there is no connection between the two? If it were not for the actions of these counter-revolutionaries, please tell me who did it?!"
Likov's original plan was to flash people when he caught fire. But he didn't expect that Sverdlov came to him so quickly and asked a very sharp question very directly. Do you think it was not done by the counter-revolutionaries, who did it? What do you mean?
The ball was kicked back again, but Likov really didn't want to answer this question. Because... because he had no answer, he couldn't answer, and no matter how he answered, he was wrong!
So he could only bite the bullet and answer: "This is just my personal opinion. I just think that the reconnaissance work has not been carried out yet, and it is irresponsible to rush to draw conclusions!"
"What's the responsibility!" Sverdlov pressed step by step, "I've made it clear. Those who hate our party and can use such despicable means may be those counter-revolutionaries outside the party. Who else is suspected except them? What's more, they have already created a series of violent attacks in Moscow... I want to ask you, who else would do this besides them?"
Likov was speechless unless he took the initiative to say that Mularov and Li Xiaofeng were suspected. But if he really said that, it would be not a fan of the cold wind and light the ghost fire, but a dynamite bag was held as a human bomb. What he wanted to do was to intensify the conflict between Trotsky and Lenin, and to make the great mentor and the second mentor fight, instead of sacrificing himself to achieve others. He was not that great yet.
After Sverdlov blocked Likov speechless, he waved his hand heavily and said loudly: "Not long ago, Comrade Andre Petrovic repeatedly warned the Central Committee that a large number of counter-revolutionaries were operating in Moscow. They were actively planning a series of conspiracies against our party and made suggestions: they must immediately start to attack their arrogance. At that time, some comrades in the Central Committee did not agree with this opinion and believed that Comrade Andre was making a big fuss. When he decisively took action to arrest the suspected counter-revolutionaries, he actually thought he was troublesome... What was the result?"
Sverdlov looked around coldly at the audience and continued: "As a result, the Soviet representative of the Moscow engineers was attacked by a bomb. If the murderer had not made a mistake in placement, the bomb exploded early. Then the only remaining Central Executive Committee member in Moscow would have been taken down... Then the enemy assassinated Comrade Ulitsky again. How arrogant this kind of arrogance would be! But now, some of our comrades still have not woken up, and have not thought about how to attack the enemy in a tit-for-tat way. Instead, they are suspicious and excused our enemies. How mentally retarded is this?! I just want to ask, what do you want to do!"
After saying this, Sverdlov looked at Trotsky meaningfully. Part of his words were directed at Likov, who was lit with the ghost fire on the cold wind, and the other part was directed at Trotsky. He blocked the key points that Trotsky might attack in advance. Unless Trotsky was really going to start a film with the mentor, unless he really planned to frame him, he could only go down the tone set by Sverdlov.
Now, Trotsky has only two choices, either to defeat the death or to admit that the assassination was done by the counter-revolutionaries. However, he didn't like these two choices. Needless to say, although he was a little unhappy with Lenin, he had to admit that following Lenin and he got his current status. In the situation was very good, he would give up all this and start his own business again? He couldn't bear to leave.
From this point of view, he could only admit that the case was done by the counter-revolutionaries, but if he really admitted it, he felt that he was losing money! My brother Ulitsky was shot three times and was in vain? Lenin, you said that this was the counter-revolutionaries' actions and they were completely cleared. No matter how you say you should give some benefits to comfort Ulitsky's injured heart! At least you have to give Moscow to me, right?
Now, you don’t want to give anything, and you are also sarcastic, Sverdlov! Don’t think that I didn’t hear it just now. Some of the comrades in the central government that you are talking about are referring to me, right! You are sarcastic and sent Ulitsky to Moscow to mediate the conflict, but you end up suffering the consequences, right! You are so sinister!
Yes, Trotsky had no way to fight back except to scold Sverdlov in his heart, and such a passive situation was something he had not expected at the beginning. According to the initial plan, it would be him to catch Ulitsky and make a big fuss. He would take action himself, and he would have to let Lenin cut a piece of meat for him no matter how he was.
However, who would have thought that Li Kefu would appear on the way, and Cheng Yaojin would disturb his plan. His fan of the Yin Feng and the ghost fire not only humiliated himself, but also blocked all his chances of attack.
When Trotsky thought of the trouble this idiot caused to himself, he felt so angry that he thought: No wonder Kamenev and Zinoviev were going to be done. His mother was full of mentally retarded and trashed, all of them were pigs. If this didn't collapse, it would be God's eyes!
But, now that things have come to this point. What's the use of him? So he could only glar at Likov, who was not good enough to make trouble, and then followed Sverdlov's words: "I think Comrade Yakov said it very well. Some time ago, we were indeed too optimistic and relaxed. Counter-revolutionaries are jackals, tigers and leopards. They will never ignore our party and create a real world of harmony. They must do bad things and must have conspiracies. Faced with all this, we can only use a decisive punch to smash them!"
Speaking of this, Trotsky paused slightly and continued: "What happened in Moscow has sounded the alarm for us. Because of the adverse response, we suffered a significant loss in Moscow. This fully demonstrates that it is necessary for us to set up a specialized institution to train a large number of professional talents to specialize in fighting against counter-revolutionaries!"
Trotsky is really amazing. He has to pluck his hair even after passing by. He followed the situation and took the army of Lenin and Sverdlov. Didn’t you say that the counter-revolutionary forces are rampant? Didn’t you say that the central government did not pay attention to it at the beginning?
Well, then we will pay attention, not the same attention. We will set up a special structure to deal with counter-revolutionaries. As long as I take this in my hands, hehe!
Trotsky's abacus was a little loud, but he could do it, and Lenin would not let it do it. He immediately said: "Comrade Trotsky's proposal is very good. It is very necessary to set up a special agency to suppress counter-revolutionaries. I nominate Comrade Stalin to be responsible for this matter!"
Trotsky was stunned. He never expected that the mentor was so shameless and shameless. You were planning to further strengthen your own power. You were going to force me into the corner! It was unbearable. I also nominated: "I think Comrade Yue Fei has more experience in this area. I think it is more appropriate for him to take on this position!"
Yue Fei, the second character among the Trotskyists, is second only to Ulitsky. The relationship between this brother Taiwan and Trotsky is very good. The two sides have worked together for a long time and cooperated very well. When Trotsky served as the People's Commissar of Diplomacy, his deputy was Yue Fei.
It can be seen that he is now preparing to fight with his mentor. Aren’t you nominated your disciple Stalin? Then I will find a Tie Brother to fight against you!
Lenin seemed to have anticipated this situation and said calmly: "Comrade Yue Fei's current position is very important. According to the previous resolution made by the Politburo, he will go to Brest as a special representative of the People's Committee to discuss the issue of arbitrage with the German representative. At this time, how could he devote his extra energy to another new job?"
Trotsky bared his teeth, and he was indeed speechless. Like Li Xiaofeng, he was also facing a situation where he was too little to hate when he was alone. Ulitsky was injured, and Yue Fei couldn't get away. There was only one who had a good relationship with him and had the ability. But this guy was simply weird. He didn't do anything serious, but went to do education. Damn, can you be more unreliable?
Needless to say, Trotsky's resentment, if he did not quickly propose a decent candidate, then Stalin would come to power, and he would not allow such a situation to happen. But after thinking for a long time, there was really no other capable candidate around him. Just when Trotsky was most anxious, his eyes turned and he thought of a way to prevent Lenin from being satisfied.
"I think Comrade Lenin is right!" Trotsky suddenly changed his subject, "Comrade Yuefei's work tasks are indeed very heavy and it is indeed not suitable to hold a new position. Similarly, Comrade Stalin also has to deal with ethnic affairs. As a multi-ethnic country, ethnic issues have always been the top priority. There cannot be any mistakes at all, so Comrade Stalin may be unable to do anything..."
Stalin was almost pissed to death. When Lenin nominated him just now, he was so happy that he was about to faint. If he could really grasp the power to fight back, he would have developed. Especially when the mentor denied Yue Fei's nomination in a few words, he seemed to be sure of winning.
But Trotsky is shameless! He actually talks about his duties as a member of the people's committee member of national affairs, and even says that his position is very important, fuck! Isn't this lies with you when I open my eyes! If my position is really so important, then can I change it with you?
Unfortunately, Stalin was useless in anger, because from the beginning, he was just a piece of chess piece thrown out by Lenin to play against Trotsky. The mentor had never thought of handing over the power of the anti-counterfeiting to him, because the mentor had already had a more suitable candidate...
