Kamenev?

This name seems strange to many comrades in the party now. Many people’s first reaction when they hear this name is that Kamenev is still alive? Then the second reaction is that this guy still has the face to get involved in the party?

Yes, with the victory of the October Revolution, Kamenev and Zinoviev were nailed to the pillar of shame, especially the former, which is almost a typical negative textbook. At least Zinoviev's product has turned a corner and turned aside, and this product has been insisting on singing the opposite tune.

Lenin subconsciously didn't want to see this guy. He was already annoyed enough, and he was really not in the mood to listen to Kamenev's chatter and talk about some peace plans!

Yes, when the civil war broke out, Kamenev, who had been completely marginalized, seemed to have found the second spring, and he kept publishing some inappropriate articles in the newspaper, crying hypocritically about fighting with his family, causing trouble to Xiao Wall, and even fabricating a slogan that the Russians would not beat the Russians.

Anyway, this guy's cry was only one meaning, that is, the October Revolution led to the civil war, and this was the fundamental reason why he opposed the October Revolution. Now the only way to restore peace in Russia is to put down his weapons, sit down calmly and negotiate, and strive to establish a new coalition government.

And he Kamenev is willing to act as a middleman, willing to work hard to run errands, and for peace and the Russian people, he exhausted him from a happy life.

Has Lenin thought of compromising with the White Army, the Social Revolutionary Party, and the Mensheviks? This is absolutely impossible, so he was quite disgusted with the trick advocated by Kamenev, and he almost made this guy go straight away.

So Lenin refused at the first time, "Go and tell him. I don't have time, there is no need to see him!"

However, Trotsky stopped him and said, "Let's see him. There is probably a reason for him to come out in the air!"

Lenin tsk and thought for a long time before saying, "Then I'll go see him and see if this stone is as stubborn as ever!"

Kamenev was in a good mood. Although his base camp was Petrograd, his unique political stance made him have a good relationship with the Mensheviks and the two sides had close contact. Therefore, he knew about the lower reaches of the Don River at the first time. The anxious battle situation there made this guy overjoyed. He felt that this was a good opportunity to get him back to the political center!

Immediately, he came to Lenin directly, and he believed that in difficult situations, Lenin should no longer insist on such unreasonable toughness, and should open his ears to listen to the correct opinions.

"Sit!" Lenin pointed to the sofa in the office coldly and asked, "I'm in a hurry to see me, are there any questions to report?"

Lenin's cold tone made Kamenev feel unhappy, but in order to make a comeback, he could only pinch his nose and accept it. He felt that as long as he promoted peace, it would be hard to say who would be the old man in the future!

"That's right," Kamenev cleared his throat and said, "I heard that a fierce battle broke out in the lower reaches of the Don River, with blood flowing all over the field?"

Lenin didn't like these two adjectives, but in order to figure out what Kamenev came from, he resisted his anger and said, "The Red Army did suppress bandits in the Don River Basin. What's wrong?"

The three words "what happened" fully demonstrate the current mood of the tutor, but Kamenev, who was only thinking about his own affairs, didn't hear it, and he even foolishly teased him.

"Comrade Lenin, you are clear about my usual attitude. I have always adhered to the strategy of peaceful building of the country. Only communication and dialogue can make mutual understanding. No problem can be solved by force. Since the October Revolution, our party has gone to a wrong radical line and tried to change the status quo with violence... And what happened? Everything that happened in the Don River and Ukraine fully demonstrates that using violence to combat violence is not the best strategy. Abuse of violence will only make violence more proliferate. This is an endless vicious cycle. Now, it is time to correct this mistake..."

Lenin really wanted to leave. What nonsense is this? Will the broom leave automatically without dust? To talk about peace with an enemy armed to the teeth and shout and kill is tantamount to seeking a slut with a tiger. It seems that you are a bastard who is stubborn and unrepentant. At this time, you have to surrender to the bourgeoisie! You are indeed not a good thing!!

Lenin asked coldly: "How to correct the error?"

Kamenev couldn't wait to say: "Stop all military operations immediately, and conduct dialogue between the two sides, and use negotiations to resolve the problem!"

In fact, Kamenev was too anxious and too urgent, because Lenin didn't finish it just now. After the question of "how to correct the error", there was actually another sentence: "What mistake is corrected again!"

But Kamenev rushes to speak, and interrupts Lenin, even he feels proud! He feels that Lenin has surrendered and surrenders to him in disguise. He is so beautiful that he is so happy that his nose is so snot-soaked!

He said happily: "Comrade Lenin, knowing mistakes can improve it. In the early stage of the revolution, making mistakes is also a meaningful exploration! I think as long as you actively correct mistakes, you are a good comrade! It is worthy of praise!"

Lenin almost laughed out loud and said to himself: "Damn, are you drinking too much or taking the wrong medicine? Why did I admit it wrong? I really want to blind your eyes!"

Lenin was preparing to let this guy get out of here after a few words. Trotsky suddenly broke in. Unlike Lenin's coldness, Lao Tuo seemed very enthusiastic and greeted intimately: "Comrade Kamenev, it's been a long time since I haven't seen you recently? Don't stop participating in organizational life because of anger! Everyone is comrades, so it's normal to have different opinions... I have always advocated that there should be different opinions within the party!"

Lenin's face was thrust, and he didn't know which Trotsky was playing, especially because he couldn't figure out what he was so polite to the shameless Kamenev. Such a fool who was ignorant of the world should be beaten out with a stick, and even allowed him to express his different opinions. I'll let me tell you that you are going crazy?

Trotsky gave Lenin a look of peace and irritability. Then he continued to entertain Kamenev enthusiastically, and his intimate look made outsiders think that he and Kamenev were good friends when they saw him!

"Comrade Kamenev, I appreciate your proposed settlement of disputes by peaceful means. But I also have a question. The White Bandits Army, the Social Revolutionary Party and the Mensheviks, who first provoked the civil war, even if we, the Bolsheviks, repeatedly, shouted in newspapers, and turned a deaf ear to the suggestions of peace. In my opinion, if they want to win peace, they must first change their attitude. How can you be sure that they have the desire to fight for peace?"

Kamenev was waiting for this sentence. He couldn't wait to say, "I have always had connections with the Mensheviks and the Social Revolutionary Party..." He immediately realized that it was inappropriate and quickly changed his words: "I have always tried every means to talk to them. I kept moving them with emotion and reasoning. After my unremitting efforts, I finally made a breakthrough and opened a window!"

Kamenev spoke happily, and did not notice that Lenin and Trotsky were exchanging glances secretly. These two were the real good friends. Just a few glances made it clear what the other party meant.

Lenin, who understood what Trotsky wanted to do, simply stopped talking because he really couldn't stand Kamenev's face, for fear that the matter would be ruined as soon as he opened his mouth. Since Trotsky was not afraid of disgust, let him be silly!

Trotsky asked with a smile: "Oh? You have done so much work without realizing it. It is worth admiring. So what kind of breakthrough have you made?"

In fact, Kamenev was also nonsense. He had exchanges with the Mensheviks and the Social Revolutionary Party, but it was not a breakthrough at all. The differences between them and the Bolsheviks were still like a natural barrier. At most, this guy was generous to others and agreed to some conditions behind the central government's back, and he played tricks of cheating at both ends.

Kamenev glanced at Lenin with some pride, really not knowing where he came from. He said excitedly: "I am sure to convince them to return to the negotiating table, and I am sure to convince them to give up further military operations!"

Trotsky thought for a while and asked, "What does the central government need to pay?"

Kamenev was ready to rush and said excitedly: "It's very simple. First, it is to recognize the legitimacy of the last constitutional congress, and second, it is to promise to disband the workers' armed forces and abandon the Brest contract..."

Kamenev talked a lot, but he didn't notice that just the two points at the beginning, neither Lenin nor Trotsky could agree, let alone the many harsh conditions behind them.

But Trotsky was still calm, and the expression on his face could not tell his contempt for these harsh conditions. He could only hear him ask peacefully: "What promises will they make?"

Kamenev thought Trotsky was moved by him and said happily: "They will promise to suspend military offensive operations, recognize the legitimate status of our party, and promise to retain our legitimate seats in future coalition governments..."

Trotsky coughed dryly because he couldn't help it anymore, thinking that Kamenev's nerves must have had something wrong, otherwise he could say such crazy words? The White Army had a bullshit military attack. Even if the Dun River encirclement failed, the Red Army's overall strength would have an absolute advantage. At worst, it would be possible to reorganize and re-plan, and chase after it and beat the White Army. His grandma, what capital do you have to pick and speak out here?

Especially the recognition of the legal status of the Bolsheviks and the reservation of legal seats is the funniest joke Trotsky has ever heard. I am now dominating everything and being the master of the country. Do you need to admit it? Do you need to give it to me? This is a matter of my opinion.

Anyway, Trotsky was sure that Kamenev's mind was indeed full of stones. Only a madman would agree to such shit, and only a person who had no brains would say it in front of him and Lenin.

Trotsky despised Kamenev in his heart, but said, "Are you sure you can stop the White Army from doing military operations?"

Kamenev patted his chest and said, "There is no problem at all. As long as the central government agrees to the above conditions, I guarantee with my personality that the White Army will suspend all military operations!"

Trotsky and Lenin looked at each other again, and finally Trotsky said: "The central government cannot fully agree to their conditions, and some of the conditions are too harsh. The central government cannot accept it!"

Kamenev was a little unhappy and was about to say something. Trotsky said again: "Our opinion is to cease fire first, then negotiate, and use negotiations to resolve the problem!"

Kamenev turned his elbow out completely. He said with some displeasure: "It took me a lot of effort to convince them to agree. If I don't agree, the negotiations will not be carried out at all!"

Trotsky thought to himself: "If the central government agrees to these shit conditions, it will be a big deal to negotiate!" But on the surface, he smiled: "If this is the case, there will be no basis for negotiations between us. The central government will not accept these threats. It is only necessary to cease fire and then negotiate. This is the fundamental way to solve the problem!"

Kamenev was a little unhappy, and Lenin also spoke at this time: "I fully agree with Comrade Trotsky's opinion, and cease fire and then negotiate. There is no room for negotiation. If they do not agree, then we will continue to fight. See who will destroy who!"

Kamenev hurriedly left, busy running around for the cause of peace negotiations. He absolutely did not expect that he had just walked out of Lenin's office, and Lenin and Trotsky began to laugh at him at the same time.

"Do you think he's crazy? You dare to tell us such shit-like conditions. Can't he understand the reality?"

Lenin said contemptuously: "It is not that he is not unaware of the reality, nor is he unwilling to give up that deep-rooted prejudice. He is unwilling to acknowledge the correctness of the armed struggle of the proletariat... He has cartilage disease and cannot stand up straight at all, so he can only kneel down and be a dog!"

Trotsky just smiled slightly and did not echo him. Because Kamenev was Lenin's right-hand man after all, and was Lenin's closest comrade and assistant. It was fine if Lenin criticized him or even scolded him. That was a matter within the Lenin faction. But if he was a foreigner, he would probably be slapped in the face.

Trotsky took the topic back and asked, "Is he capable of persuading the White Army to suspend military operations and use negotiations to resolve the problem?"

Lenin snorted and said contemptuously: "From my understanding of him, it is unlikely. After the October Revolution, he also made his own decision to negotiate with the Iron General, and you have seen it all. I think this time he is still wishful thinking. Whether it is the Social Revolutionary Party, the Mensheviks or the old officers, it is impossible for him to give up their vested interests! The reality of Russia determines that only one of us can survive!"

Lenin's assertion was resounding, and in the long run, his judgment was basically accurate. But at present, he did underestimate Kamenev's ability. Finally, he grabbed a life-saving straw, and Kamenev naturally would not give up easily.

He tried his best to impress the Social Revolutionary Party and the Mensheviks, and took the trick to the extreme, but actually won a reasonable condition - to resolve differences through negotiations.

"Where is the armistice?"

Trotsky was actually not interested in negotiating the gods. The main purpose of his accompanying Kamenev was to cease the war first. As long as he could fool the Czech Legion and Krasnov to stop military operations, he could win time for the main force of the Red Army. As long as he surrounded the group of goods, he would be happy in the end.

Kamenev said seriously: "Mr. Savengov said that if they do not accept their conditions, there will be no truce."

Trotsky curled his lips and said, "What's the use of negotiations without stopping the battle?"

Kamenev quickly said: "Of course it is useful. It is possible to reach a consensus through negotiation, and then naturally achieve the purpose of a truce."

Trotsky suddenly lost interest and said with some excitement: "Is that true?"

"Of course," Kamenev was very excited and optimistic about the prospects of the negotiations. He even volunteered: "I am willing to act as a negotiator and go to Ufa to exchange views with Mr. Savenkov in person. I believe..."

Trotsky looked at Kamenev, who was not sure about the situation, and was both angry and funny, and said sarcastically: "Then let's take action quickly! We are waiting for your good news!"

Kamenev didn't hear that this was anger and was also sarcastic at him. He stood up happily and walked happily with a briefcase in his arms. Before leaving, he did not want to assure Trotsky: "I will definitely live up to the expectations of the central government! Ensure the completion of the task!"

"Comrade Trotsky, what's wrong with Kamenev?"

Before Li Xiaofeng walked into Trotsky's office, he met Kamenev. At that time, the guy was so proud that he raised his chin, rolled his eyes and threw all kinds of contempt to a certain immortal.

Li Xiaofeng wondered, a person like a dead dog could turn over? Could it be that he always promised to give this person something?

"Don't worry about that idiot!" Trotsky thought of someone and felt that he was also weak, so he quickly got to the point and asked, "What's the matter if you come to me?"

Li Xiaofeng took out a document and handed it to Trotsky, saying: "Based on the intelligence I have obtained, the Finnish White Army will join forces with the German Interfering Army to carry out a large-scale military operation, with the purpose of defeating Comrade Kuxining's Red Guards in one fell swoop... I think it is necessary to warn Comrade Kuxining to be alert to the sudden attacks of the enemy. Moreover, can the Finnish Red Guards try to avoid a decisive battle with the enemy?"

Trotsky frowned and asked incredibly: "Why should we avoid a decisive battle? As far as I know, during this period, Comrade Kusining armed a large number of workers with the weapons we assisted. The power of the Finnish Red Guards was rapid. At this time, wouldn't it be great to fight the enemy in a decisive battle and solve the Finnish problem once and for all?"
