Just now, Lenin didn't want to hold a meeting immediately, but now, the situation has completely turned around, and Trotsky has become the one who doesn't want to hold a meeting immediately.

Why?

The situation was very obvious! At the beginning, Trotsky felt that he had the initiative and had the initiative, so he naturally wanted to take advantage of the heat to strike the iron. The situation was similar to his estimate. Lenin was indeed in a passive position. If Stalin had not suddenly exploded in a small universe, he would have been hitting the dog in the water at this moment.

Logically speaking, Lenin would never allow the meeting to begin before Sverdlov arrived. At present, he received a note and immediately made a 180-degree turn. Even fools could see that there was something tricky inside.

Even fools can see that Trotsky naturally would not be fooled. He was sure that the note was definitely not as simple as a simple message. Think about it, if Sverdlov really couldn't get rid of himself, just send someone to send a message. Isn't it just a matter of one sentence? As for writing a letter to explain it seriously?

Isn't this nonsense? Trotsky even suspected that the letter was not written by Sverdlov at all. I'm afraid that Lenin received some important news!

What important news is? Trotsky was not sure, and he did not rule out that his plan was exposed. Could it be that someone had reported Lenin?

Anyway, in the blink of an eye, Trotsky's mind started to move quickly and analyzed the causal relationship between the front and back. In the end, although he did not come to any particularly useful conclusions, he vaguely felt that if he continued to follow the previous plan, he would probably not be able to get a good idea. He decided to buy himself some time.

"It's inappropriate!" Trotsky quickly stood up and objected, "This meeting is very important. As a member of the Politburo, Comrade Yakov was absent? Anyway, we have been waiting for a long time, so we don't care about waiting for a while. I think it's better to wait for him to have a meeting!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Bukharin, who had just strongly requested a meeting to be held immediately in the previous paragraph, immediately echoed: "That's right, just like Comrade Joseph said before, it's a disrespect to Comrade Yakov. We're going to keep waiting for him!"

To be honest, this scene is quite funny. Trotsky and Bukharin, who were anxious just now, turned around and turned into slow tortoises. This transformation method cannot be so perfect for ordinary people.

But what is even more funny is still behind. After Trotsky and Bukharin transformed, Stalin immediately prepared to transform, yes. In the eyes of Steel, we have to oppose any enemy support. The last time it was the tutor who kicked me, I only realized it. This time I had to be more active.

Thinking of this guy jumped up from his position, looking at his posture, he was about to sing a slight sing. But just now he opened his mouth and the tutor under the table kicked him again. Good guy, he almost choked the steel to death.

Why? The reason is very simple. The tutor does not let him object, otherwise why would he kick him? This made him say something to him. He had to change his words, and he deserved it to be choked.

"I... I want to go to the toilet!" Stalin threw out this sentence without changing his face. Then he turned around and left the conference room calmly. Of course, Steel's acting skills were still a little worse. It seemed too unnatural for him to change his words, and Trotsky and Bukharin immediately saw the flaws.

The two guys looked at each other, and both saw the meaning of a bitter smile on each other's face. Needless to say, Lenin just now was just a merely setting up a suspicion array, and came with a look of retreat as if he was deliberately pretending to be confident, which was actually just cheating them. Even Trotsky suspected that Krupskaya had given Lenin a piece of paper. The reason why she came in at this time was that it had been agreed before, and this was simply the trap set by Lenin!

What made them most angry was that they were fooled so simply. If Stalin hadn't done anything like this, they would have been deceived and kept in the dark. When they thought of Lenin's "crawl", Trotsky and Bukharin immediately felt a joy of surviving the disaster.

What? You ask why these two guys feel happy. Didn’t they just be fooled by their mentors? What else can I be happy about being fooled around?

Of course there is nothing to be happy about being fooled. What these two guys are happy about is that Lenin's plan went bankrupt. Because Stalin's lack of strength, Lenin's trump card was once again lifted by them, and even such small means were used. This fully shows that Lenin had no trump card anymore. It can only be said that his only hope was placed on Sverdlov.

In this case, what else should Trotsky and Bukharin be afraid of? They were not worried at all that Sverdlov's appearance could change the situation. They thought they had already obtained tangible evidence, and even if Sverdlov was there, it would be useless.

Therefore, Trotsky and Bukharin were both grateful and a little proud. This is God who was standing by their side. You, Lenin, will only delay for a while. Once the time comes, we will still win!

The venue was in a strange silence for the second time. Lenin sat there closing his eyes to rest, looking at an old god-free look. Trotsky and Bukharin were also extremely relaxed, as if they were sure to win. Only Stalin, who came back from the toilet, was still in the dark. He couldn't figure out what was going on today. The attitude of the mentor was really hard to figure out.

To be honest, Stalin really wanted to ask the tutor, what was going on in today's meeting? He had to prepare him a little psychologically, otherwise the mistake he had just made, wouldn't he be too unfair?

However, Lenin had no intention of explaining all this, but just closed his eyes and rested, and ignored anyone. In the eyes of Trotsky and Bukharin, his attitude was a complete and guilty expression, and the two men suddenly became more and more proud.

"Sorry, comrades, I'm late!" Sverdlov finally arrived at the venue. While apologizing to the big guys present, he asked: "Where has the meeting been going?"

Lenin, who had been closing his eyes and resting without waiting for others to speak, finally opened his eyes and replied in a deep voice: "Why did it come so late? Even if you wrote me to explain the reason, it is unforgivable. You have greatly delayed your comrades' time, and such behavior is simply a crime!"

It seemed that Lenin was scolding Sverdrov, but in the eyes of Trotsky and Bukharin, this further illustrates Lenin's guilt. They felt that Lenin's purpose was to highlight a sentence - "Even if you wrote me to explain the reason", why did he say this to Sverdrov?

The reason is very obvious, that is, Sverdlov never wrote this letter. This is the tutor calling the secret code, so that Sverdlov would be exposed after opening his mouth. So these two guys became more and more relieved, which fully proved that Lenin was indeed not prepared and he had no choice. So what are we afraid of? Take action quickly!

So Trotsky couldn't wait to stand up and interrupt Lenin. "Since Comrade Yakov has explained in advance, there is no need to continue criticizing. Hurry up, let's have a meeting!"

Don't think Trotsky had good intentions. He was simply worried that Lenin would continue to delay time by letting Sverdlov do a review. He was out of patience.

"Then let's have a meeting!" Lenin seemed very unhappy and added in a depressed manner: "But this situation cannot happen again in the future!"

Trotsky ignored Lenin's words similar to complaining. He went straight to the topic: "Comrades, the main reason why I asked for this meeting today is that we encountered major obstacles in the peaceful negotiations with the Allies Group. The conditions offered by the Germans were quite harsh. They asked us to give up a large area of ​​land and make huge compensation. In my personal opinion, such conditions are simply unacceptable!"

Speaking of this, Trotsky paused, glanced at Lenin without any trace, and continued: "Of course, this is only my personal opinion. On this issue, I must respect the opinions of all the comrades here. If the Central Committee feels that these harsh conditions are acceptable, then I will firmly obey the resolutions of the Central Committee!"

After saying this, Trotsky sat down gracefully, as if I was a screw of the party, and I would hit wherever the party pointed. To be honest, this is really hypocritical, and it is just a scene. This guy’s real intention is to put pressure on Lenin!

Why do you say that? You have to carefully analyze his words just now. First of all, he emphasized that it was just his personal opinion. Don't underestimate this sentence. The reason why he said so humble is nothing more than a run of Lenin. Because the mentor advocates compromise with God, Trotsky wants to prevent Lenin from using his personal authority to put pressure on the Central Committee, so he deliberately emphasizes that it is a personal opinion. Since Trotsky's argument that non-compromising is just a personal opinion, Lenin's argument that compromise with God can only be a personal opinion.

Which one is greater, the will of individuals or collectives? According to the dialectical philosophy of MARX, the answer is obvious. Later, Trotsky also emphasized the need to respect the collective will of the Central Committee. To put it bluntly, put it as a pressure to let Lenin respect the collective will and not override his personal will over the organization.

This can be considered a painstaking effort. After all, through the October Revolution, Lenin's prestige in the party was not very high. The last time it was because of his continuous struggle and persistence that the armed struggle line was implemented, and the October Revolution was successful. That time he was successful when he opposed the public opinion. If he continued to resist the public opinion this time, would everyone listen?

Trotsky naturally hoped that everyone would not listen, but this was unrealistic, so he could only apply implicit pressure and indirectly cheer up those who opposed Lenin's proposals in the Central Committee.

Of course, it was not enough to cheer him up by Trotsky alone, and Bukharin immediately jumped out: "I think Comrade Trotsky is right. The Germans have fully demonstrated their ambitions. We must not surrender to their blackmail, otherwise we will become the sinners of the country! I strongly demand that the Central Committee adhere to principles and must not compromise or surrender to the Germans!"

Lenin glanced at Bukharin, who was sneering, and then at Trotsky, who was sitting in the seat, he knew that he had to speak, otherwise these two guys would not know how arrogant they would be?

"What do you want the Central Committee to do? Stop the negotiations immediately? Or end the ceasefire immediately?" Lenin said slowly.

This question is well asked. Both Trotsky and Bukharin just shouted to oppose the compromise against Germany and oppose the treason, but apart from opposing the situation, they had no way to solve the current dilemma. To put it bluntly, they opposed it just for the sake of opposing it.

So after Lenin threw out this issue, the two guys were speechless for a while. Not long after the armistice agreement was signed, the majority of party members and the masses were very happy and were generally full of expectations for the next negotiations. You, Trotsky and Bukharin, were good. You just announced the breakdown of the negotiations and gave up. What is the rhythm?

"Then we can't let the Germans blackmail!" Bukharin retorted.

"No one has ever said that only Germans can be allowed to blackmail!" Lenin snorted heavily, "The negotiations have just begun, and it is very normal for Germans to ask for prices in a skyrocketing manner! We can't just announce that the negotiations have broken down just because the other party is offering random prices, right? What is the responsibility of the People's Committee of the Diplomatic Affairs, which is to do everything possible to safeguard Russia's interests. People can offer prices in a skyrocketing manner. You can also pay back the money! Just encountering a little setback, you will give up. Is this your work attitude?"

Lenin was so happy that he cursed. In Stalin's opinion, the words of the mentor made sense, at least he fought back against Trotsky and Bukharin's provocation. But what surprised him was that these two guys had no intention of being depressed at all. He even seemed eager to try, as if he had been waiting for the words of the mentor.

Trotsky was indeed waiting for this sentence. He had laid so much before. He was just for this moment, so he immediately stood up and pretended to be helpless and said: "Of course we cannot face any difficulties or setbacks, but the development of negotiations is indeed too difficult. Not only in the face of external difficulties, but even some comrades in the party are artificially creating obstacles for us, which greatly affects our work efficiency and work enthusiasm!"

This is the rhythm of complaints. If nothing unexpected happens, as long as Trotsky points out the name of that person, even the tutor must pay attention to it, at least thoroughly investigate it. In fact, this is true. Lenin seemed reluctantly asked: "Comrade Trotsky, who is the comrade you are talking about?"

A smile appeared on Trotsky's face. He felt that he had won. As long as he clicked out the name of a certain immortal, everything would be done. He immediately took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "This comrade is Andre Petrovic. As the person in charge of the Politburo who sent to Sweden to collect information about Germany, this comrade's work attitude is really doubtful!"

"Why do you say that?" Lenin still had no intention of being angry and asked with a smile: "Is there any misunderstanding here?"

"No misunderstanding!" Trotsky said firmly, "I have sufficient evidence. As an important intelligence officer, Comrade Andrei has no support for the work of the negotiating delegation at all. Comrade Radick went to him several times, hoping that he could provide valuable information, but he has always chosen to avoid it and refuse to cooperate. Is this attitude correct?"

Trotsky looked at Lenin and said to himself: "Of course, it's okay if you don't cooperate. Anyway, Comrade Andre is only responsible to the Politburo, and it's normal for comrades who look down on the negotiating delegation. What I can't stand the most is that this comrade not only ignores the negotiating delegation, but also fools the Politburo and perfunctorily!"

Lenin still looked at Trotsky with interest, without interrupting him at all. Of course, even if he wanted to interrupt, Trotsky would not give him this opportunity. "After my understanding, Comrade Andre's work attitude is very careless and casual. The Politburo clearly ordered him to go to Sweden to collect information, but this comrade did not take it seriously. Instead, he mingled with several bourgeois enemies in Sweden and enjoyed his feelings. Not only that, his

The intention was so lawless that he had not applied to the Politburo, and he returned to the country on his own. If one of our comrades accidentally discovered his whereabouts today, we were still kept in the dark... Comrades, let me tell you what kind of behavior this is, isn't Andrei Petrovic despising the party and the collective? I strongly demand that he be removed from office and the law! Such unqualified comrades are not suitable to stay in the party organization to work!"

With a bang, Trotsky's accusation was no less than a thunder, which shocked the entire venue. The big guys here finally knew where the focus of today's struggle was. If someone and Lenin could not give a reasonable explanation, I'm afraid someone would definitely be beaten to the end.

Anyway, Trotsky was very proud at this time. He believed that Lenin had no way to protect the person. If he had killed a certain immortal, he would not only give up his anger, but also severely attack Lenin's authority, which was of great benefit to him in the party.

But can Trotsky get what he wants? It is probably difficult. When the venue was full of whispers, Lenin's expression was still very calm, as if the accused was not his generals.

He coughed softly and pressed his palms down, "Quiet, comrades, please calm down!" Suddenly, the focus of the entire venue was on him, and he slowly and firmly said to Trotsky: "Comrade Trotsky, I want to correct the three mistakes in your words just now!"
Chapter completed!
