As soon as this statement came out, the conference room was silent again. Anyway, there were constant cold events in this meeting. The bosses of the Politburo had become accustomed to this situation. Anyway, after every cold event, they would say that the meeting would push a new climax.

This time is no exception. Although the suggestion made by Stalin is a bit absurd and the method of solving the problem is surprising, it seems that this is also the best choice at the moment.

The objective reality determines that the central government is unable to solve the Finnish problem at all, but allowing the Finnish Party Committee to make things difficult for the Northern Trading Company will have a bad impact on the central government's established strategy. For the sake of the present, it can only save the country in a curve.

According to Stalin's idea, the Red Eagle Group originally belonged to the EO company, and this company is closely related to a series of companies such as Northern Trade and Northern Industry. From a legal perspective, the Red Eagle Group is an employee of the EO company. It is legitimate for them to defend the group's subsidiaries if they belong to the same group company.

And there are other benefits to letting the Red Eagle Regiment go. After all, this unit is obeyed the party's command, and to be specific, it is directly obeying the central government. As the revolutionary army of the proletariat, they will not fight against the working class like the white army of the bourgeoisie, which can greatly avoid causing irreparable losses to the workers in Vyborg City.

Of course, there is another reason why the big guys here cannot directly say it. The Red Eagle Group's current position in Russia is relatively awkward. Although the Bolsheviks talk about the slogan of internationalism, it still felt a bit embarrassing for an army composed entirely of foreigners to help them carry out the armed revolution.

Therefore, since the outbreak of the October Revolution, as the army with the strongest combat effectiveness and the most obedient army within the party, the Red Eagle Regiment has always been used as the general reserve team. It did not go to the front line until it was absolutely necessary. That is, it fought a war with Li Wolf in the imperial village, and was doing nothing else at the rest.

To be honest, letting such a powerful team stay idle forever is too wasteful. And if they are sent to Finland, the identity issue is not a problem at all. As Chinese workers and foreigners, they have nothing to do with Russia. Even if foreign interference forces are dissatisfied with their appearance in Finland, they cannot blame Russia for anything.

I believe that with the protection of the Red Eagle, it is unlikely that the workers of Vyborg City will be able to do anything to the Northern Trading Company. Maybe in the future, when the party solves domestic problems and has the ability to export revolutions to foreign countries, the Red Eagle will play the role of a pioneer in Finland, and at least it can give Vyborg City and other areas that tend to be Bolshevik-oriented to have a reliable combat force.

Thinking of this, the big guys here, including Lenin and Trotsky, all their eyes lit up and couldn't help but look at Stalin with a high glance. They all felt that this guy could come up with this ghost idea quietly, and he was really a little smart!

This method is great! Everyone is quite satisfied with it. Of course, it cannot be said that there is no problem at all, because Derrensky immediately reminded: "Will doing this cause dissatisfaction among the Vyborg Municipal Party Committee, local party members and the masses?"

When everyone heard this, they stopped talking. To be honest, although Stalin's ideas can solve the problem, there are indeed problems. If the Red Eagle Group and the Vyborg Municipal Committee have a conflict in person, and the conflict intensifies and fights, how can the Central Committee clean up this mess? At that time, the Vyborg Municipal Committee asks for help from the Central Committee, will the Central Committee save or not?

The palms and backs of hands were all flesh, and Lenin and others were speechless. After all, it was still a problem of class attributes. Who made the northern trade? Northern industries were all industries of the bourgeoisie? The proletariat and the bourgeoisie are naturally opposites. The actions of the Vyborg Municipal Committee should be said to be without problems.

After a long time, Trotsky suddenly sighed: "How great would it be if Northern Trade and other companies were proletarian enterprises? There would be no conflict at that time!"

Lenin just snorted: "If that were the case, it would be impossible to import food through them!"

Everyone smiled bitterly again, who said it was not? It was at this time that Stalin finally showed his iron fist and iron blood, and finally had a little shadow of later generations of steel comrades.

He said: "between collective interests and individual interests, individual interests must obey collective interests... Nowadays, the most important overall interests are to defend our country's revolution. If we ignore the overall interests just to take care of the feelings and interests of comrades in Vyborg City, it is because of the small loss of the big."

Speaking of this, he paused for a moment, and then said decisively: "I think that under the current situation, the overall interests of the revolution can only be guaranteed first, and for the sake of the overall situation, the interests of comrades in Vyborg City or Finland must be sacrificed... I think that once the worst happens, the comrades in the Red Eagle Group should be granted a power - authorizing them to use all means and methods to ensure the overall interests of the revolution!"

Everyone understood Stalin's words. He was preparing to sacrifice his family for everyone. Once there was a conflict between the Vyborg Municipal Party Committee and the Northern Trading Company, the Red Eagle Group would be authorized to use the most iron-blooded means to solve the problem.

To be honest, Steel is quite bold. He is probably the only one who dares to make the words so bluntly. Others, even Lenin, dare not easily say such almost "cold-blooded" words.

After all, the Bolsheviks' revolutionary purpose was to liberate all mankind and advocate that the proletariat in the world be one family. You can't just say that one family is one family, but in fact, you just shout and fight and kill when you move?

The conference room was quieter, quieter than ever before, and the air was filled with a chill that frozen the soul. For a long time, just as everyone present was almost stiff, Lenin spoke: "There will inevitably be sacrifices in the revolution, but every sacrifice must be meaningful. I hope that all comrades can remember those comrades who made great sacrifices for the victory of the revolution!"

Although Lenin did not support Stalin's opinion positively, his words also expressed his attitude, and soon Trotsky also spoke: "At present, this is the only feasible way! But I hope I can do my best to try not to let things develop to that point..."

The Iron-faced man didn't speak at first. He just nodded silently, but in the end he couldn't help but add: "This is a helpless choice made due to the severe revolutionary situation. If you can only take this step, once the worst situation becomes reality... I hope that after the victory of the revolution, we must be responsible for this and apologize to the comrades in Finland and Vyborg!"

Lenin nodded and immediately said: "I agree that since it is our decision, we must be responsible for it!"

Perhaps the only person present who did not consider the apology and responsibility was Stalin. It was not that Comrade Iron was heartless and cold-blooded. Instead, he felt that the Politburo made this choice right to take care of the overall situation of the revolution. Since it was correct, why should he apologize?

Sometimes, Stalin is such a simple and direct person. As long as he thinks he is right, he will never look back. He will even directly criticize those who criticize him and think he has made mistakes into counter-revolutionaries, because his logic is very simple - I am right, then you are wrong, and if you make mistakes, you must accept punishment!

Of course, Stalin would not be foolish in saying what he said in his heart. It was not that he was uncomfortable. Master Trotsky and Derrensky were brave enough to take responsibility. He couldn't seem so responsible, right?

Soon, Stalin's proposal began to vote, and Steel itself naturally agreed without hesitation. The mentor and Trotsky were also the kind of person who made up their minds and did not look back. Derrensky became resolute and was quite cold, and soon one-sided situation occurred. Except for Sverdlov, the members of the Politburo agreed.

For a moment, everyone's eyes were aimed at Sverdlov, who bowed his head and said nothing. Everyone was surprised! Xiao Si, who has always been the leader of the mentor, suddenly retreated. Moreover, this retreat is meaningless! The four of them agreed, it is meaningless if you don't speak out!

Of course, Stalin was the happiest in this situation. Finally, he finally grabbed the limelight. He showed his face in front of the mentor. He was so proud! Seeing Sverdlov not speaking, he felt that this was a good opportunity to further expand the results of victory.

Suddenly, this guy asked insidiously: "Comrade Yakov, do you have any different opinions on my proposal?"

This question is indeed sinister and direct enough. If Sverdlov directly says that I do have different opinions, then he is singing a contradictory tune with the tutor. After all, the tutor has agreed to this plan, and opposing at this time can easily cause misunderstandings from the tutor.

And if Sverdlov said I didn't disagree, then it's obvious that you are talking lies with your eyes open. Everyone saw the hesitation and entanglement just now. You dare to say shamelessly that there is no disagreement. Isn't this a thing in person and behind the scenes?

It seems that no matter how Sverdlov answers, he will fall into Stalin's language trap. However, Xiaos is not an ordinary person. He did not take this trap seriously at all. He said directly: "Comrade Joseph's suggestion is indeed a solution to the current problem. I also agree that when necessary, individual interests must obey collective interests... But I am still very confused! When I think about the comrades in Vyborg City, they may have to pay a heavy price for a misunderstanding that cannot be said. I am very heavy, and after thinking about it, I can only abstain from the right!"

Sverdlov abstained from power, which Stalin unexpectedly. What he expected was that the mentor seemed to recognize Xiao Si's attitude, without any dissatisfaction or criticism of him. Well, this once again made Stalin envious and jealous.

Stalin's proposal was quickly passed, and the Politburo immediately entered the detailed discussion, how to communicate with the northern trade and how to strengthen the contacts. Of course, what the Politburo cares most about is how much food can be transported in this batch.

The discussion was very lively, even an iron-faced person like Derrynsky was in a relatively high mood. It can be seen that the problem of the food crisis was a big stone that was pressing on the Politburo's heart. Not to mention completely moving the big stone, pushing it a little bit can make the Politburo breathe a sigh of relief.

However, in this warm atmosphere, Sverdlov was a little out of place. He seemed to be worried and absent-minded, and he hardly spoke much, and his face was even more frowning. This situation must have attracted Lenin's attention. The mentor was very worried that Sverdlov had not figured out the previous problem. He did not want his right-hand man to recover because of this. He even doubted the prospect of the revolution.

Lenin asked in a relaxed tone as much as possible: "Comrade Yakov, why are you still worried? Are there any difficult problems to solve? You can say anything! Comrades can help you with your staff!"

In fact, Lenin noticed that something was wrong with Sverdlov, and everyone here saw it as long as they had no problem with their eyes. It is also generally believed that Sverdlov's heart knot was the same as before. On this point, the three people other than Lenin had completely different views!

Trotsky believed that Sverdlov had a moral cleanliness, and such cleanliness was harmful to his political career. If Sir was unable to overcome this, then the threat to him in the future would not be great. A person with excessive sympathy was not suitable to sit on the highest seat. So Trotsky breathed a sigh of relief.

Stalin and Trotsky's ideas were not much different. He also felt that Sverdlov's grandmother was so kind. But he did not breathe a sigh of relief, but looked at the tutor with a hint that he was just a hint - tutor, you have seen the most realistic expression of this product! How can such a irresponsible person inherit your mantle? Hurry up and wake up, I am your most appropriate successor!

Unlike these two "profit-oriented" guys, Derrensky admired Sverdlov's performance very much. Although he, an iron-faced man, has always been paralyzed and selfless, deep down, Derrensky is a person with abundant emotions, that is, the legendary cold face and warm heart. He attaches great importance to comrades and class friendship.

Sverdlov's performance is a manifestation of his emphasis on love and righteousness. He believes that only those who are full of emotions and love for the proletariat will hesitate like Sverdlov. Such comrades are suitable for taking the position of leadership!

In the same incident, the three people have completely different views. So is Sverdlov's kindness to his mother-in-law and mother, or is he full of affection for the proletariat as Derrensky believed?

It should be said that these three understandings are not correct. If Sverdlov's mother-in-law and mother were kind, he would not be able to sit in his current position. But he did not completely ignore class friendship, otherwise he would not have joined the Bolsheviks. With his talent, he would have done business and made a fortune just like his elder brother.

Among the people here, perhaps only Lenin understands Sverdlov. As a Bole who promoted Sverdlov, the mentor knows Sverdlov's personality very well. Xiao Si, who is good at dealing with various practical problems, will never be unable to understand the simple problem between an individual and the overall interests. The reason why he is frowning is probably because he is thinking very little. In today's words, Xiao Si is playing a big game of chess!

Soon Sverdlov also quickly proved with practical actions that the tutor was correct, and the problems he was thinking about were indeed quite big.

After a brief silence, he spoke: "I have been thinking just now that with the independence of Poland, Finland, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia and Belarus, the party organizations of these countries have also begun to be relatively independent. Will they also face the same problems as those of the Vyborg Municipal Committee in the future?"

Lenin and Trotsky's faces changed, and Xiao Si's words reminded them, and the joy disappeared from their faces in an instant, because this is indeed a very practical and likely problem - how will the central government lead the party organizations of independent countries when the Tsarist Russian Empire collapsed?

Sverdlov continued: "In fact, it is not only the problem of these national party organizations, but we may also have to face greater problems. With the outbreak of the world war, the Second International has been in name only. However, with the deepening development of our country's revolution, the world's workers' movement and the revolutionary struggle of the proletariat will inevitably reach a new climax. So how should we coordinate the interests of the working classes in various countries and how to deal with possible contradictions and disputes between working class parties in various countries?"

Sverdlov said that Lenin and Trotsky's faces became more severe, and the chances of the possibility that Sverdlov predicted could become reality are very great. In fact, contradictions and problems have already emerged, and the city of Vyborg is the best example. Will the central government use tough and iron-blooded means to deal with such contradictions and disputes every time in the future?

Moreover, a mere Vyborg Municipal Committee will cause a headache for the Central Committee. If it were replaced by a larger party organization such as the Finnish Party Committee, how could the contradiction be reconciled?

Sverdlov took a deep breath and said slowly: "The current problem is only within the scope of Russia. If there is a dispute between Germany, France, and Britain and the United States in the future, how can we mediate it? Moreover, from the perspective of the international communist movement itself, there must be a command and coordination agency! For example, this time, if such a cross-international agency exists and they come forward to coordinate the problems of Vyborg City, the worst situation will definitely not happen!"

Sverdlov raised his head suddenly and looked at Lenin and Trotsky and said: "I personally think it is necessary to establish such an institution to organize, coordinate and command proletarian parties around the world, which will inevitably better promote the vigorous development of revolutionary movements around the world!"
