347 What a Wonderful

The new Navy People's Commissar was Trotsky. Compared with Toronto, Stalin was still too young, and in the case of Durbinko and Corente's counter-revolution, Stalin's performance was too ambiguous.

If the "peaceful solution" solution was adopted at that time, Stalin might have gained a lot of political interests, but the strong insertion of a certain immortal disturbed all the good things of steel. After Corente and Durbinko were characterized as counter-revolutionaries, they would inevitably have to let a representative of a hardliner clean up the mess of the Baltic Fleet. From this perspective, Trotsky was much more appropriate.

Trotsky arrived in Petrograd late at night, and Zinoviev and Kalinin personally went to the station to greet him. The three of them had a short communication on the platform of the station.

"Comrade Trotsky, you must immediately stop Andre Petrovic's atrocities!" Dapeng face complained as soon as he came up.

In fact, he could not wait. Since April 1917, he has been fighting with a certain immortal openly and secretly for a long time. Now a certain immortal is even more arrogant than before, and he doesn't take him seriously, which makes Dapeng's face quite resentful.

He felt that Trotsky was a moderate person compared to Lenin and was not as radical as a mentor. He beat someone up to report to him and accused someone of persecuting other socialist comrades, which should have a certain effect. No matter how you say it, it can make someone scolded.

Trotsky really didn't expect that Zinoviev was talking about this issue first, and he didn't care about it at all. Whether it was the left or the right, the Social Revolutionary Party was already the same yesterday. What should we care about them?

Besides, in this incident, the role played by the Social Revolutionary Party was quite disgraceful. What could it be said to deal with them? Trotsky even whispered: "Which end of you are from? How can you talk to outsiders?"

Unfortunately, Zinoviev did not notice Trotsky's impatientness. This guy regarded himself as a figure too much. He thought he was also the chairman of the Communist International, and he was almost equal to Trotsky. How could Trotsky remain indifferent to such a "serious" reaction?

So, this guy continued to talk nonstop: "Comrade Andre Petrovic's behavior is simply outrageous. His kids are all over the city, no! He was in a large-scale search in the whole state, and arrested people indiscriminately. Some old friends who had contributed their strength to the October Revolution were thrown into Peter Paul's prison by him... The most annoying thing is that he still couldn't listen to the correct opinions of other comrades, and was stubborn and determined to do whatever he wanted..."

Zinoviev poured out all the bitter water that had accumulated for more than a year in one breath. Seeing that the situation was not to ruin a certain immortal, he refused to give up. However, he didn't notice that Trotsky became more and more impatient. Kalinin quietly set a few steps away from him.

Trotsky glanced at Zinoviev, ignored him, but turned to Kalinin, who was "drawing a line" with the big cake face, and asked: "Comrade Mikhail, do you agree with Comrade Gregory?"

Consistent with your sister!

Kalinin complained in his heart, he was not a fool, let alone a certain immortal was Sverdlov's best friend. He was a celebrity around Comrade Lenin, and he was young and ambitious, and his methods were extremely experienced. Isn't he crazy about being punished for such a political star and potential stock?

Of course, even if you are brainless, it doesn’t matter. As long as you have good eyes, you will know what to do. Damn, Trotsky’s expression and attitude have already explained everything. I was stupid and carried the thunder with Dapianface.

Kalinin shook his head and said, "I think Comrade Gregory's view is too extreme. Petrograd, who had just experienced a turmoil, needs to use red violence to deter those restless counter-revolutionaries... Although Comrade Andre arrested many people, I think it is generally fair. Do extraordinary means be used at extraordinary moments?"

Zinoviev wanted to curse her mother. Kalin would rather not have this attitude before. He showed a certain degree of worry and worry about someone's behavior of arresting people without caring about it. It was because he didn't like the good guys that Dapeng's face dared to complain. Who would have thought that he would be cheated!

Suddenly, this guy became anxious, "Comrade Mikhail, you didn't have this attitude before! Aren't you also worried about Andre Petrovic's actions? How..."

Kalinin replied without changing his face: "I feel a certain concern, but that is because I am worried that Comrade Andre's actions will be too fierce. It may lead to the enemy's rebound and revenge. What I am worried about is his personal life safety... How can we put everything on the shoulders of a small comrade? We old bones should also be more proactive. In this struggle, we must play the role of revolutionary pioneers... I have always emphasized to you that we should listen to Comrade Andre's opinions more, that are the future of the revolution, and that these young people are the future of the revolution!"

Zinoviev's face turned green and kept greeting Kalinin's eighth generation in his heart. You are a fence-grabbing man. If you like to hold your feet, then just hold it. What does it mean to mess with me? I offended you!

Zinoviev had a bad memory, and he did offend Kalinin. When Colente made trouble, he pushed Kalinin into the fire pit and cheated the good man so badly. Although Kalinin was a good man, although he liked to mix with him, it did not mean that he had no temper, nor did it mean that he did not know how to fight.

An honest man like him is not an ordinary person to hold grudges. Once he finds an opportunity, he will really kill people. For example, now that Trotsky has come, Kalinin immediately realizes that the central government has reached a consensus on this incident and has a comprehensive solution. Although he does not know the specific details, Trotsky's attitude has explained everything.

At this time, Kalinin was probably mocking Zinoviev: "Big face, you are stupid, you really can't recognize the situation. You didn't see Trotsky's forehead engraved with impatientness, you didn't see him walking with a bloody storm. No wonder you opened high and low last year, and you got back more and more, your eyes were simply inferior to your eyes!"

Zinoviev seemed to want to continue complaining, but Trotsky was already impatient and stopped him as soon as he reached out to his hand. "The Politburo has a unified consensus on this reactionary riot... Durbinko and Corente, under the agitation and instigation of the counter-revolutionaries of the left social revolutionary party, finally embarked on the road of betraying the people and the people as enemies... The Central Committee called on all Bolsheviks to resolutely fight against the left social revolutionary party counter-revolutionaries and quickly and completely eliminate them!"

In this long passage of Trotsky, none of the words mentioned a certain immortal, but the meaning was quite clear, which was equivalent to a complete affirmation of what the immortal did. If it was a little more explicit, it would be like applauding a certain immortal!

Of course, Trotsky would not praise Li Xiaofeng in public, even if a certain immortal did a good job, it would be impossible. The mountain was the mountain. Trotsky praised the backbone of Lenin's faction in public, and he really couldn't afford that person.

However, there is no positive praise, which does not mean that there is no side or side note praise. Just like the one who just now denies Corente and Durbinko, and puts the left side of the Social Revolutionary Party on the target. This is equivalent to affirming and praising a certain immortal.

Even if Zinoviev was stupid, he knew the attitude of Trotsky and the Politburo. He suddenly turned into ashamed, like a defeated rooster. It made Kalinin feel so good!

However, Trotsky did not continue to humiliate Zinoviev. What's the point of beating a dog to death? He seemed to have no mind and no courage. Besides, those who are in the political arena will be able to be humiliated without being able to beat someone to death in one go. Only then can he be humiliated without turning over forever.

But although Zinoviev is abolished and marginalized, he is swaying like a tumbler and can still stand firm. There is no need to offend such a freak for an outsider. Maybe everyone will have the opportunity to cooperate in the future!

So Trotsky quickly changed the subject and asked, "What is Kronstadt's state? Is the sailor's mood still stable?"

Zinoviev really didn't want to answer this question because of some of his actions. The sailors in Kronstadt didn't even miss him, and the negotiators sent were all bombarded by the sailors.

The guy could only grit his teeth and answered: "For the time being, everything is stable, and the sailors' emotions are still restrained..."

Trotsky didn't believe his words, because the reason was very simple. The tone of this guy's speech sounded guilty and looked like he was evasive. It would be strange if he had no ghost in his heart.

So. He turned to Kalinin, “Is that true?”

At this moment, Zinoviev was so embarrassed that he was so angry. In his opinion, Trotsky asked this question so much. This is clearly not to believe him! You are too unprofessional. No matter how I say it, I am the chairman of the Communist International. Even if you don’t believe me, don’t ask in person. When I am not present, it doesn’t matter how you ask. People live a face and a tree live a skin, you are really too bullying!

Trotsky felt that Zinoviev was too bullying. You were so brave. You lied in front of me. What kind of attitude did you do? This means that you didn't take me Trotsky seriously at all. I thought you could fool me. Damn, this is you slapped me in the face first, I was just fighting back.

Why did this interesting situation cause? The main reason is that Zinoviev’s positioning was not accurate enough. He thought this was before the October Revolution, and he thought that he had a similar status as Trotsky. He subconsciously believed that even if he fooled Trotsky, he would not have any problems.

But this guy never thought that it was no longer the same as before. He had already stood aside. He was not a mentor and pity him. He gave him a position as the President of the Communist International. He was nothing. He wanted to be on an equal footing with Trotsky. He was simply ignorant of life and death.

Naturally, this meeting at the railway station was not effective, and it even ended in disagreement. After sending away the annoying Zinoviev, Trotsky decided to meet a certain immortal first. Based on his understanding of someone, the kid would definitely prepare in advance.

"The real situation of Kronstadt?" In response to Trotsky's question, a fairy smiled bitterly and asked back: "How did Comrade Gregory tell you?"

Trotsky said calmly: "He said the situation is very good and stable!"

Li Xiaofeng smiled, making Trotsky feel a little shy, and he asked, "Isn't that the case?"

"It's very stable, but it's true," Li Xiaofeng sneered, "a large number of sailors are engaging in counter-revolutionary activities stably. If there weren't a part of the political commissars who were maintaining order as much as possible, the world would have been in chaos!"

Trotsky gasped. Before coming, he had thought that Kronstadt would not be in good condition, but he really didn't expect it to be so bad. It seemed that this Navy People's Commissar was really not so easy to be.

He asked, "Is it so bad?"

Li Xiaofeng sighed and said, "If you come a few days later, it might be worse. Maybe the sailors have risen!"

Trotsky took another breath, pondered for a moment, and suddenly asked, "What countermeasures have you taken before?"

"Yes!" The sarcastic meaning in Li Xiaofeng's tone became increasingly serious. "Comrade Gregory, he sent people to do persuasion work, and he hoped to influence them."

Trotsky didn't think there was anything wrong with this response, nor did he think it needed to be sarcastic. He asked in some incomprehensible: "Do you want the effect?"

"The effect is definitely not ideal," Li Xiaofeng sighed and explained: "The most important question is that his approach is more like angering the sailors."

“How to say it?”

Li Xiaofeng glanced at Trotsky and sighed: "In order to better do the ideological work of the sailors and to let them understand how important the central government is to them, while insisting on peaceful negotiations, Comrade Gregory also took some special measures."

Trotsky raised his eyebrows. He felt that it was probably the methods that Dapianface used to be bad things, and he quickly asked, "What methods?"

Li Xiaofeng's sneering on his face became even stronger, and he replied disdainfully: "Comrade Gregory interrupted the supply of Kronstadt. There was no fresh water, no food, nothing!"

Trotsky was shocked and could not imagine that this was done by Zinoviev. What a fuss. If you want to negotiate and resolve the problem peacefully, you cannot cut off the supply. Do you think that without water or food will make the sailors concessions or surrender in the negotiation? You are a bad thing! In the eyes of the sailors, you are just unsincere and provoking!

Trotsky jumped up and said angrily: "Why don't you stop him! This is adding fuel to the fire!"

Li Xiaofeng spread his hands and asked back, "How can I stop him? One of them is the chairman of the state Soviet government and the other is the secretary of the state party committee. Can I command them?"

Trotsky stopped talking immediately. After moving the capital, Lenin and he fought again around Petrograd, an important revolutionary center. The final result was to compromise, allowing good people and marginalized people to temporarily preside over the overall situation of Petrograd.

It is equivalent to putting aside the dispute first, as if no one has lost anything. Now it seems that letting two ungrateful guys meet together is really not a good thing. Look, if you are not careful, it will lead to a disaster!

After pondering for a moment, Trotsky directly issued an order: "Immediately restore all the supplies Kronstadt has... I want to apologize to the sailors. It was a certain comrade who mistakenly understood the spirit of the central government. This is a misunderstanding... Yes, I also have to send a message to the sailors, saying that I will hold talks with them in person..."

Even Li Xiaofeng had to admit that compared to Trotsky, Zinoviev was simply a villain, to be precise, a villain who was not a child. He was not afraid of risks and dared to take risks with his own risk. You are just a nominal president of the Communist International, so why are you posing as a stinking air!

In fact, it was not only the supply issue that angered the sailors. The sailors had been asking for negotiations with the Soviets and asked for an interview with the Soviet president of the Zinoviev state. But this guy was timid and afraid to go. Instead, he repeatedly emphasized that the sailors must first put down their weapons and leave the Kronstadt base, otherwise there would be no possibility of an interview.

At that time, he and Kalinin were slandered, and the guy refused to go, which made the sailor patiently get rid of it, causing the situation to become more and more out of control.

Of course, Trotsky was not stupid and bold. He also understood the principle that the son of a daughter could not sit in the hall. He would not go to Kronstadt stupidly, but decided to meet the representatives of the sailors at the dock in Petrograd.

Li Xiaofeng didn't know how this guy talked to the sailors, but in terms of the result, it was pretty good. At least the sailor representatives had a smile on their faces when they returned to Kronstadt, which shows that Lao Tuo made them more satisfied.

"The sailors' demand is that those who are not involved in the Petrograd riot will not be implicated and held accountable... to ensure their life safety and political dignity... to continue to serve in the Red Sea..."

The conditions proposed by the sailors were not particularly harsh. At least they did not speak out loudly and demanded the release of Durbinko and Corente. Trotsky felt it was acceptable, but Li Xiaofeng had doubts.

"It is understandable not to hold those who are not involved in the riots accountable. It is acceptable to ensure their lives and political dignity. But I have doubts about allowing them to continue to serve in the Red Sea!"

Trotsky glanced at him and asked calmly: "What doubts?"

"Although the sailors who stayed in Kronstadt did not participate in the Petrograd riot, after the situation had subsided, they refused to accept the central government's orders and chose to continue to express their opinions in a troubled manner... Is this behavior tolerable? If every time in the future, if they are slightly unhappy and are slightly instigated, they will cause trouble in groups. What's the use of keeping them?"

Li Xiaofeng said calmly and vigorously: "We cannot tolerate the navy's transcendence from the party's command. We must use military discipline and national laws to restrict their behavior. Otherwise, in the long run, the root of the disaster will not be eliminated. Once it breaks out again, it will probably not be as easy as it is today!"
