Lenin's speech made people think deeply, at least the members of the military committee present had to think deeply. The mentor unexpectedly criticized Durbinko sternly. According to common sense, the mistakes made by that guy are also worthy of criticism. The Black Sea Fleet had rebelled, and the Navy People's Commissar was still kept in the dark. It was so weird, let alone criticism, and it was considered light to dismiss and investigate the matter.
However, criticism was criticism, but the mentor did not take Durbinko in anger, and there was no more expressions besides criticism. Even after a change of tone, he returned to the Black Sea Fleet rebellion itself, and the meaning inside and outside was a bit of a suspicion of expelling the fleet committee.
Now, everyone was completely confused: Master, what are you going to do? They lift the board high and then gently put it down, and they all click to the point. What are you doing?
What was Lenin's trouble? He had no choice but to say Durbinko was hateful and incompetent. One thing is that the mentor was quite dissatisfied with his "incompetence". But it was his guy. As a friend of Curent, Durbinko could not move casually.
What's more, Durbinko was selected as a representative of advanced sailors and had a very high reputation among the Baltic Fleet. Once, the Baltic Fleet and the Avleel were symbols of the October Revolution. Now they knocked down the example to the ground and stepped on one foot. This impact was too bad.
Therefore, the mentor felt that he could not interfere casually, nor could he deny it casually. He was puzzled and furious about the behavior of a fairy who suddenly poured dirty water on the fleet committee.
"What exactly do Andre Petrovic want to do?" After the meeting, the tutor asked Sverdlov angrily.
Without waiting for Xiao Si to answer, he said to himself: "Does he think the current situation is too good? He can do whatever he wants... This is to fear that the world will not be in chaos!"
Sverdlov didn't say anything, and in fact he didn't know what to say. He was also puzzled by Li Xiaofeng's behavior. He didn't hear that someone had conflicts with Durbinko, Corentai and the Fleet Committee. And before someone started, he didn't inform him at all, and he didn't know what a certain immortal was doing.
"Send him a telegram, call him, and let him explain clearly immediately. What he wants to do!" Lenin was so angry that he shivered all over.
Sverdlov also smiled bitterly in his heart, but after the instructor gave him the order, he could only do it. Of course, it was impossible to make a phone call, so he could only send a telegram. In the telegram, Xiao Si carefully reminded a certain immortal and advised him to stop the horse quickly. Otherwise, the consequences would be unpredictable.
When Sverdlov thought, with his reminder and the instructions from the tutor on the military committee before, a certain immortal should understand what to do. To be honest, the tutor had already given someone a face at the conference and still handed over the investigation of the case to a certain immortal. The meaning is very clear, that is, let this guy quickly clear the suspicion of the Fleet Committee, quickly turn big things into small things, and stop making trouble.
However, Sverdlov never expected that this time he was wrong. A certain immortal was a turtle and was determined to destroy the fleet committee. Soon, a certain immortal's re-energy and a pile of quite thick letters were sent to the desk of Lenin of Smoorny Palace.
When Lenin saw a telegram of a certain immortal's reply, he almost lost his orifices. In the whole text, a certain immortal had no meaning of "repentance" at all. Instead, he became more "chiluo" and obviously attacked the fleet committee. Not only did he firmly seize all the charges on the fleet committee, but he also talked about the liberalism, anarchism and bureaucratic tendencies of this institution, severely criticized the counter-revolutionary behavior of the institution and demanded a thorough review of the institution to prevent the continued spread of counter-revolutionary toxins within the People's Army...
"He is going to attack the headquarters!"
He slapped the telegram on the desk, and the tutor stared at Sverdlov fiercely, the chill in his words was obvious.
Why? The reason is very simple. The reason was that Sverdlov sent a telegram to someone before, and the mentor wanted Xiaosi to help someone turn back. But now, not only did someone not look back, but instead became more and more intense, and the flag was more clear and the Fleet Committee was going against it.
The tutor couldn't help but wonder if it was Sverdlov who colluded with someone, maybe this was forcing Columtai to take the team? Based on this suspicion, he inevitably had an objection to Xiao Si - this is how you do the job?
Xiao Si was so distressed. He did it completely according to the tutor's wishes. But who would have thought that a fairy who has always been very clever actually made such a low-level mistake? It shouldn't be!
Xiao Si knew that everything he said was empty now, and he was unwilling to take the blame for this inexplicable fault. He immediately found the telegram archive for the tutor to take a look. This should prove his innocence!
After reading the telegram sent by Xiao Si to a certain immortal, Lenin's face was a little calmer. Xiao Si was almost said naked in the telegram. Even a fool could tell what this meant. But this time, someone actually acted even more stupid than a fool. There was a problem!
Lenin sat back on the chair and began to think deeply. It was obvious that someone was heading for the fleet committee, and for this, he even disobeyed the central government's hints. This was very intriguing!
There are only two possibilities. First, the situation of the Black Sea Fleet is worse than expected. Maybe even someone can't fully control the situation. They must use the head of the fleet committee to calm the atrocities of the sailors.
There is such a possibility, but Lenin thought it was unlikely. It can be seen from someone's telegram that he had controlled the situation. In this case, there is no need to kill the fleet committee, which is unscientific.
The second possibility is that someone is a drunkard, and the ultimate target he wants to attack is probably not the Fleet Committee, nor Durbinko or Corente. Is someone planning to give Trotsky a little color?
However, Lenin believes that this possibility is not high. Although Trotsky is the chairman of the Supreme Military Commission, he is indeed responsible for the rebellion within the army. However, there is a Durbinko who is separated from the Fleet Committee. After all, there is a major problem with Durbinko, and Durbinko is the one who takes the blame. Trotsky is at most.
After thinking about it, Lenin had no idea and could only continue to read through the information sent by someone. Another kraft paper bag was a large stack of letters. Judging from the sloppy handwriting and grammar, it seemed that it was written by a sailor who was not good at writing.
Lenin was reading the letters from the sailors carefully, and gradually, he frowned and showed a solemn expression.
"Come and see!" Lenin suddenly ordered Sverdlov and Stalin.
Lenin pointed to a pile of letters and said, "These are letters from the Black Sea Fleet sailors, most of which were written to Comrade Andre. You can see, is this true?"
Sverdlov flipped through the letters, most of which were accusing the Fleet Committee of the Fleet Committee, and the meaning between the lines was to severely punish the Fleet Committee. Xiaos believed that this was someone who put pressure on the central government or proved that he was completely in a public opinion against the Fleet Committee.
To be honest, it is difficult to tell whether such a method is useful or not. It is even likely that Lenin may anger. Anyway, he seems to be gambling, and he thinks that such a gambling is not worth it at all.
"It's so shocking!" Unexpectedly, Stalin spoke first. And it was really surprising that he was talking nicely for someone.
Steel said solemnly: "After reading the letters from these sailors, I realized that there is such a big problem with the Black Sea Fleet... The infiltration of counter-revolutionaries is simply too rampant, and I think it is right to take necessary actions!"
Not only Xiao Si was surprised. Lenin was also surprised. In his opinion, even if these letters were true, Stalin had no need to say good things to someone, and he would even be grateful if he didn't even take the blame. What's wrong with this now?
No wonder Lenin was surprised. Stalin's little bit of it was really hard to guess at the moment. Why did Steel say good things for someone? The reason is very simple, because he was also instigating Voroshilov to launch an anti-counterfeiting, and it was completely aimed at Trotsky's anti-counterfeiting. Now someone is also in the Black Sea Fleet to combat the counter-counterfeiting, what does this mean?
This shows that Ukraine's problem is quite serious, and it shows that the anti-counterfeiting is justified! What Stalin was most afraid of before was to be labeled as a hat to remove dissidents, but now someone has asked to start a massacre in Ukraine. Can't it be explained? If a certain immortal can wash it clean and go ashore, then Voroshilov can also wash it clean and go ashore!
Stalin felt that this was a good opportunity. For the first time, he felt that someone was not so hateful, and even felt that they had no common language. In the eyes of Steel, the reason why a certain immortal wanted to fight and kill the fleet committee was only one goal - to point his sword at Trotsky.
Steel even thought that someone was quite beautiful at this step, and was suspected of killing two birds with one stone. He could run Trotsky and continue to seize military voice for the Lenin faction. He could also beat Durbinko and Corente hard, so that they would not dare to have unreasonable thoughts.
To be honest, Steel did not feel good about Columtai. He always felt that this woman was too ambitious. After the October Revolution, it was arrogant to rely on her support for the mentor. If she allowed her to develop at will, she might have to come out and compete with them at any time for the position.
Whether it was against Trotsky or hitting Corente, Stalin did not object. The former was the biggest enemy of the Lenin faction, and the latter was not very peaceful, so they had to give them some color.
Otherwise, there are only eternal interests in politics, but no eternal enemies. Although Stalin and Xiao Si were not in dealing with each other, with the mentor, he could only deal with Trotsky. Moreover, in order to consolidate his position and eliminate the threat factors within the potential faction, he didn't mind working with Xiao Si to suppress Curentet - the mentor is enough to have a right-hand man, and there is no need to give birth to a third hand!
It can only be said that Trotsky and Corentey were shot while lying down. Li Xiaofeng did not intend to cause trouble for them. He just wanted to eliminate the discord within the Red Army and not to make some forces too big. For example, the political status of the Red Navy, especially the Baltic Fleet, was too prominent after the October Revolution.
For a time, the Red Navy formed a small circle. Under the leadership of the Fleet Committee, the needle could not be penetrated, and it was very independent and free. This was not a good thing, because it meant that no one except those they recognized themselves would be birds.
Historically, the Black Sea Fleet was very arrogant. For example, on April 29, 1918, it received an order from the central government to break through from Sevastopol. There were not many ships that actually implemented this order, and a considerable number of ships remained in Sevastopol. They surrendered and became German prisoners. Later, there were even the main battleships who defied Lenin's order to return to Sevastopol.
The reason why the sailors dared to do this is simply because they were supported by the Fleet Committee. As leaders elected by the sailors, they naturally tend to protect the interests of the sailors, even if at some point the interests of the sailors are contrary to the overall interests.
For example, in the Battle of Petrograd in 1919 in history, some senior officers of the Baltic Fleet asked to take the initiative to attack, compete with the British, and fight back the British arrogance from the sea. However, the Fleet Committee flatly rejected this suggestion. He chose to hold his troops unmoved, but the result was that he was passively beaten, and the main battleship Mara was almost attacked by a British torpedo boat.
Why did the Fleet Committee choose the strategy of keeping the troops in motion? To put it bluntly, they are afraid of the enemy, and they do not have the courage and confidence to fight with the Royal Navy and are willing to be an existing fleet.
That's not all. At that time, some of the Baltic Fleet even came together with the White Army and acted as the inner responders and pawns of Yudenic. Do you think this is still the great fleet that raised the red flag and responded to the revolution during the October Revolution?
If Trotsky hadn't traveled to Petrograd in person, and the Red Army who led Petrograd defeated Yudenic, I'm afraid that on the day when Petrograd fell, this great fleet that had made contributions in the October Revolution would either be a prisoner of Yudenic and the British, or would have once again staged the tragedy of the Black Sea Fleet.
Li Xiaofeng did not trust the navy. This force was too independent. For the interests of the fleet itself, they would even disobey the central government's orders. It is very necessary to combat their free and casual habits. They must understand that it is the party who commands the gun, not the gun who commands the party!
The core of the fleet's scattered and unruly command is the fleet committee. Although democracy in the army does look beautiful, it is very likely that these democratic elections will only consider the interests of small groups. When the interests of small groups conflict with the overall interests of the country, part of their interests will be sacrificed, and the thorns will be blown up immediately.
The easiest and most effective way is to eradicate this small group before it has formed a climate. Only by truly integrating the Red Navy into the overall command system of the Red Army, rather than ordering it to the Fleet Committee, and then implementing it without the Fleet Committee discussing and voting. The lower party will be able to make a fire.
In short, Li Xiaofeng's dealing with the Fleet Committee was generally out of public interest. If the Navy continued to follow the old path in history, it would sooner or later anger the Tutor. At that time, it would not be the short-term pain that is now.
However, the mentor may not understand the painstaking efforts of a certain immortal now. To be honest, a certain immortal is a bit like a messenger. There is something wrong with him, and the matter is not small. Especially for this incident, the mentor thinks that this guy is just a mess.
However, the letter from the sailor touched the tutor, not that the tutor was moved by the tutor's affectionate words of the sailors who were not familiar with literature and science, but that the tutor's eyes touched the things behind the letter.
During the October Revolution, after the October Revolution, many similar letters were read, including sailors, army soldiers, and ordinary people. At that time, the object of accusation was the old bureaucracy or old officers. At that time, they also wrote letters in this gritting tone. It can even be said that they changed the personal pronoun slightly, and the letters from the two periods were not essentially different.
Why is this painful and embarrassing situation? Why are the sailors cheering and applauding the elected representatives a few months ago, but now they grit their teeth and demand to hang them? Isn’t this the God’s turn?
Lenin did not like this kind of twist, but he was more concerned about the meaning behind this twist. He did not believe it if the Fleet Committee was full of conscience and sins. It is very likely that the Fleet Committee was not the Fleet Committee, but the most ordinary soldiers.
They are too easily incited and too easily dissatisfied. In today's words, they live in their dreams. When there is a split and gap between dreams and reality, they will not reflect on themselves and doubt whether the dream is too naive. They will only point their finger at those who cannot help them realize their dreams, and use the simplest means to recast their dreams - that is, to replace them with a new group of people.
I have to say that this is a vicious circle, and if it is not done properly, it will form a vicious circle. Even as people with ulterior motives master this rule, they can use wonderful slogans to touch people's hearts and then do the completely opposite.
This possibility is what the mentor is most worried about. Li Xiaofeng, who had just gone to the Black Sea Fleet, could easily be greatly supported by the sailors. So, can counter-revolutionaries with ulterior motives also follow the example? If they take advantage of the impetuous mentality of the sailors to take office and turn their guns to point them at the Bolsheviks and the Soviets, it is entirely possible.
It has to be said that in this regard, the Fleet Committee is really painful, its election is completely out of control, today the sailors can bring Bolshevik representatives to power, and tomorrow they can also get rid of power.
The mentor understood what a certain immortal wanted to do. In fact, the past few months of his ruling career also allowed him to start to correct some of his previous opinions. In the early stage of the revolution, democratic centralism may have to emphasize concentration first. If it is too democratic, it will become liberalism and anarchism. If the people below are allowed to do whatever they want, how can the work be carried out?
Thinking of this, Lenin was a little embarrassed. It was not appropriate to deny the Fleet Committee. He is still a role model now, but it is not enough to let it go, it is difficult...
