There is no food in the official record. If this is replaced by another person saying it in front of all members of the Politburo, the consequences will be very clear, that is, a group of big men will attack him and destroy the chrysanthemum.

But Sverdlov is talking, so it must be a different matter. The big guys here know Xiao Si very well and know that he is not so stupid. There must be a reason why he said this.

What is the reason? In fact, Sverdlov's previous words had already revealed his verbal words. He said that there was no such batch of grain in the "official record". The so-called official record is of course the record of the Finnish customs department, and the Vyborg Municipal Committee also answered the central government's questions based on this.

Since it is an official record, there is water. As for how much water is, it is the issue that the Politburo will discuss next. Trotsky first asked: "Comrade Yakov, what do you mean is that this batch of food is smuggling..."

Before he finished speaking, Sverdlov nodded directly: "Yes, comrades should all know that the Allies are carrying out economic blockade on us, so it is impossible for us to obtain food through normal channels... This batch of food was transported into Finland through smuggling channels, so it is impossible on the official record, and there cannot be a record of this batch of food!"

Sverdlov said it firmly, and the big guys here also understood it very much. For example, Trotsky nodded and sighed: "I understand, no wonder the situation reported by the Vyborg Municipal Committee is so different from the actual situation."

As he said that, Trotsky glanced at Stalin intentionally or unintentionally. This glance made Stalin very embarrassed. Although he asked this question in a gentle tone just now, all the smart people sitting there were probably a little bit unscrupulous and ready to fight Sverdlov.

As for whether Trotsky suddenly glanced at this guy, he was meant to sow discord and report, to be honest, absolutely not! Trotsky's glance was just his ridicule of Stalin. Old Toru looked down on Stalin from the bottom of his heart, and of course he had to despise such shameless behavior.

Trotsky's expression was seen by Stalin. The contempt and disdain in Lao Tuo's eyes deeply stimulated Stalin's sensitive nerves. At this moment, he gritted his teeth. He vowed that he would not avenge this revenge, not a gentleman.

Of course, this little episode did not attract Lenin's attention. For the mentor, the most concerned thing was the food issue. Stalin or the Vyborg Municipal Committee poured him a basin of cold water, which made him lose appetite even after lunch. But now it was a turn around in vain. Do you think he could be unhappy?

So even if he clearly saw that Trotsky was despising Stalin, he didn't care at all. Who told Stalin to be the first to be boring? If Stalin was not from his, the tutor would probably have to learn from Trotsky and despise him.

The tutor asked the question he wanted to ask most: "Comrade Yakov, that is to say, after your understanding, this batch of grain does exist. It has been shipped to Vyborg City, right?"

"Yes!" Sverdlov was quite calm and answered the question in a very calm tone.

No one would think that Sverdlov's indifference was careless. On the contrary, this calm tone was more convincing than slapping his chest to make a promise or hysterical shouts.

Regardless of whether others believe it or not, the tutor believes it. Of course, in order to dispel the doubts of those small groups of people, he continued to ask carefully: "Do you dare to use your party spirit to guarantee it? Comrade Yakov!"

Sverdlov is still so calm, "Of course!"

This sentence came out. Derrensky couldn't help it anymore, but he was kind-hearted, afraid that Xiaosi would be too full and that if something went wrong, he would be attacked again. The Iron-faced man still admired Xiaosi quite well. So he felt that he should remind the other party.

"Comrade Yakov, what reason do you have to be so sure?" Derrensky asked.

Sverdlov cleared his throat and said strongly: "It's very simple, I've seen this batch of food!"

As soon as this said, there was another uproar in the conference room. Derrensky couldn't help but ask: "You mean, this batch of food has arrived in Petrograd?"

Sverdlov nodded heavily and spit out a word: "That's right!"

Well, this time it was not only Derrensky that couldn't help it. Stalin, who was very injured just now and was despised, couldn't help but scream: "This is impossible. Vyborg City is nearly 200 kilometers away from Petrograd, the amount of food is so large, and Finland's traffic is basically paralyzed. How can it be possible to transport food overnight!"

Objectively speaking, Stalin's doubts are very reasonable. These objective reasons do determine that it is difficult for food to arrive in Petrograd. If Sverdlov does not give a reasonable explanation, then he is talking big and deceiving the central government.

Lenin frowned. Although he was very unhappy that Stalin came out to make trouble again, the question asked by Steel was exactly what he thought, so he continued to ask: "Comrade Yakov, there is no joke about the food issue. Are you sure this batch of food has been shipped?"

Sverdlov was still very calm, as if he had ignored Stalin's repeated provocations. He replied calmly: "The food has indeed arrived in Petrograd. If the comrades don't believe it, you can go to the Finnish station with me. When I left, the loaders were unloading the goods..."

With a rumbling sound, the big guys in the conference room swallowed and spitted. The news was too terrifying. If Sverdlov had not lie... well, it was impossible to lie, because this lie would never be so stupid.

The only person present who didn't want to believe was probably Stalin. Something called reason in his mind seemed to collapse instantly. He asked again angrily: "This is impossible, no one can do it..."

But his words were immediately cut off by Sverdlov, "I know what you mean, Comrade Joseph, no one can transport thousands of tons of food from a chaotic Finland to Petrograd overnight. I, including me..."

Stalin felt that he had found a flaw, so he immediately asked, "What did you say just now..."

Sverdlov once again reached out to stop him, "What I just said was that I had seen this batch of food, but I didn't say that all of this batch of food had arrived in Petrograd..."

Speaking of this, he smiled bitterly at the other members of the Politburo and said slowly: "The comrades in Finland are too stubborn. The railway workers in Vyborg City refused to serve the bourgeoisie in accordance with the instructions of the municipal party committee, so the food cannot be loaded at all. Some radical workers even tried to break into the warehouse of the Northern Trading Company to grab the food... I did my best. I just persuaded them not to take extreme actions for the time being. Then this morning, after all, I found a few trucks and transported a batch of food... "

Many bigwigs looked at each other again. They could imagine that the reason why Sverdlov disappeared for so long was probably to coordinate and solve this matter. Although he only got a few carts, it would be really not easy to transport the food under such a difficult situation!

Anyway, the big guys on the scene admired Xiao Si's work attitude and ability. Compared with him, a guy who only knew how to pick things up was simply unbearable! At this moment, Stalin was so embarrassed that he was so angry. If there was a crack on the ground, he would definitely go in. Today he was so embarrassed.

However, no one cares about Stalin's embarrassment. In the political struggle, no one cares about the emotions of the losers. It is the unchanging truth of the red top and white. No one takes the opportunity to take advantage of the situation and adds harm to others. Even if Stalin is lucky.

"Comrade Yakov, it's really hard for you," Lenin exclaimed sincerely, but he immediately said: "If you encounter this kind of problem in the future, you don't need to resist alone. You should respond to the Politburo immediately. We can work together to solve this problem."

Of course, Sverdlov said he accepted the advice of his mentor. In fact, it was not that he liked to resist, nor that he liked to show off. The situation yesterday was indeed very critical, and he didn't have time to react to the Politburo. According to normal procedures, when the Politburo meets to discuss this issue, the daylily will be cold.

"Not it?" Trotsky was a little surprised. Although he knew that the situation in Finland was not particularly good, the city of Vyborg was still the Bolsheviks after all. With him, Sverdlov, came forward, would the local municipal party committee dare to do anything randomly?

Sverdlov sighed and said only one sentence: "There is also a shortage of food in the local area! Moreover, this batch of food is from the enemy of the bourgeoisie, and some of it is not the right way. It is normal for the local municipal party committee to be jealous!"

Trotsky said in a silence: "Didn't you tell them that this batch of food was purchased by the central government?"

Sverdlov smiled bitterly again: "How could I tell them that there are too many people and it is difficult to ensure that there are no traitors and counter-revolutionaries in the Vyborg Municipal Party Committee. If this channel for importing food is exposed, how can we buy food in the future?"

Trotsky said this and said nothing. In fact, he was just speaking quickly. He regretted it as soon as he said it. Secret purchase of food from abroad is a secret that only the Politburo can know. If it is leaked, it will inevitably cause unnecessary trouble. There is really no way to directly issue an order to the Vyborg Municipal Committee through the Central Committee.

At this moment, Lenin suddenly asked, "How did you convince the Vyborg Municipal Party Committee to give up the warehouse surrounding the Northern Trading Company?"

This question asked everyone what they thought. If Sverdlov came forward to coordinate and solve this problem, then the Vyborg Municipal Committee would definitely notice that something was wrong and would react. How did Sverdlov solve this problem?

"I didn't come forward directly," Sverdlov sighed and spread his hands, "If I could come forward directly, this problem would be simple. I just sent a telegram to the Vyborg Municipal Party Committee in the name of the Secretariat, telling them that the Northern Trading Company had already protested to the Party Central Committee through the Finnish Provisional Government, telling them that this incident is likely to cause serious confrontation between the Central Committee and the Finnish Provisional Government, and will cause very serious consequences. They are instructed to remain restrained and try not to intensify the conflict."

Lenin and Trotsky looked at each other, and both mentors saw helplessness and self-deprecating in each other's eyes - when will our party be so timid in doing things? A simple thing will take turns, and in the end, they have to rely on lying to solve the problem. This is so frustrating!

Isn’t it a grievance? But it’s not enough not to be grievance! You can’t tell the Weibao Municipal Party Committee clearly that the grain belongs to the central government, so don’t make any decisions!

"Your approach is very correct," Lenin sighed and said helplessly: "At present, we can only communicate with the Vyborg Municipal Party Committee like this..." After a pause, the tutor asked again: "Is Vyborg Municipal Party Committee accepting your opinion?"

"No." Sverdlov also sighed, "they just gave up their plans to break into the warehouse for the time being, but they did not remove the siege..."

Trotsky said in surprise: "How did the food come?"

The bitter smile on Sverdlov's face became even more obvious: "There was a batch of grain that had just arrived in the port and didn't have time to enter the warehouse. I asked someone to find a way to transport it a little..."

For a moment, both Trotsky and Lenin showed such expressions on their faces, but what Sverdlov wanted was not to be surprised by everyone. He came with practical problems: "But, comrades, I must remind you that although the batch of grain in the port has not been exposed for the time being, the news will probably be leaked sooner or later. If we do not find a way to solve this problem as soon as possible, then I am afraid..."

Suddenly, the members of the Politburo present shuddered. Only then did they realize the seriousness of the problem. If the Weibao Municipal Party Committee did not care about it and insisted on robbing this batch of food, then the problem would not be solved unless the central government did its work. Once the central government explained it to them, the channels for importing food may be exposed, which is simply a difficult situation!

"What should I do?" Trotsky asked in a tangled manner, "Do you want to do work for the Vyborg Municipal Committee through the Central Committee?"

Lenin smiled bitterly and said, "This work cannot be done. The central government cannot come forward at all!"

Trotsky thought for a while and said, "We can do our work in a hidden way, strike in the side, and let the Vyborg Municipal Committee give up temporarily..."

"Then you're going to get up immediately!" Lenin glared at Trotsky and said angrily.

In fact, Trotsky also felt that his idea was a brainless one. The working class was at a time when the enthusiasm for revolution was high. Now you let them stop. How could they do it? If the Finnish Party Committee might not do it well, it would cause a series of chaos if the central government gave up on them, and it would be even worse to end.

No one had any idea for a moment, including Sverdlov. Think about it, if Xiao Si really had a solution, then he used it last night, why bother to this day?

After a long silence, Stalin suddenly spoke. He stuttered: "I don't think this problem is completely impossible to solve..."

Lenin and Trotsky didn't believe his words. There was no way. Who made this guy's previous performance so weird? The two mentors were very worried that this guy would make some more weird remarks. They were already annoyed enough now and didn't want steel to make any more trouble for them.

However, Stalin himself seemed to be more confident. Even though both mentors showed an impatient expression, he mustered up the courage to continue and said: "To solve this problem, it is not appropriate for the central government to come forward, but I think it is easier for the Northern Trading Company to come forward..."

The tutor and Trotsky looked at each other again, and they thought at the same time - Sure enough, strange remarks really came again.

That's right, in the eyes of the mentor and Trotsky, Stalin was simply talking nonsense. If the Northern Trading Company could solve this problem by itself, as for seeking help from the Central Committee, as for making Sverdlov anxious? You guys, let them solve this problem by themselves. How can they solve it? If the food is not done well, they will really be snatched away by the workers in Vyborg City. In anger, they will not continue to trade with the Central Committee. Then what else can I talk about solving the food problem?

However, Stalin also took the initiative and said relentlessly: "The dilemma of the Northern Trading Company is that they do not have the power to defend this batch of food for the time being. If they have a military force and if they can shock the workers in Vyborg City, then all problems will not be a problem!"

Good guy, counter-revolutionary remarks came out. At that time, Lenin and Trotsky were both shocked. They both wanted to see Stalin's brain to see if it was filled with stinky tofu. In this way, you can also say it? Are you trying to encourage the bourgeoisie to suppress the workers' movement? You are so brave!

"I don't mean that!" Stalin quickly explained, "In fact, this incident is a misunderstanding, but this misunderstanding cannot be explained. For the sake of the present, we can only make mistakes. In order to ensure the smooth development of the established revolutionary line of the central government, we can only make the workers and brothers in Vyborg suffer a little aggrieved... Moreover, I personally think that if our army comes forward to protect the security of the Northern Trading Company, it is better than the bourgeoisie after reacting, using counter-revolutionary troops and using more iron and cold means to cruelly persecute workers?"

Lenin and Trotsky were said to be dizzy, and they asked in confusion: "What do you mean, just say it!"

Stalin took a deep breath and said, "As far as I know, the boss behind the Northern Trading Company is not only this company, but also a security company in Finland. Under this security company, there is a revolutionary army of our party... Let the Red Eagle Group composed of Chinese workers defend the security of granaries and trade channels, which is the best choice!"
