435 Rescue Operation
Why did Mironov betray the revolution? This question has different answers to different people. As the political commissar of the Southwest Front Army, Stalin concluded that Mironov was a devil lurking in the revolutionary ranks and a spy of the White Army. It was not surprising that his betrayal of the revolution!
This statement is naturally nonsense, and Stalin was covering his shame for himself. Think about it, according to the comrade of Steel, Mironov was a lurking spy, a person who specialized in fighting against the people, so he was overwhelmed in the previous battle. If he hadn't been his swearing resistance to death, the Czech army would have escaped and ascended to heaven. If he were a traitor and a spy, how could he do stupid things that were beneficial to the Bolsheviks?
To take a step back, Stalin said that Mironov betrayed the revolution was not surprising at all. If not unexpected, it was just expected. Since that is the case, since you, since you, Mironov would betray, why didn't you take any countermeasures? As a result, a tsunami-like storm caused the Bolsheviks to lose face internationally. What's going on?
Therefore, the central leaders knew the report submitted by Stalin. The truth of this guy was negligible when he said nonsense and shirked responsibility.
The second mainstream opinion is the conclusion drawn by the Trotskyists before. In Likov's report, the reason why Mironov betrayed the revolution was not only subjectively weak will and corrupted by the bourgeoisie, but more importantly, he was objectively excluded and persecuted. This later became the most important weapon for Trotskyists to attack Stalin.
Is this conclusion accurate?
Anyway, Li Xiaofeng felt that Trotskyism was nonsense, or that the conclusion was entirely for their political interests. Mironov was indeed excluded, but the persecution was still undeniable. Stalin's political IQ was not that low. At most, he would press Mironov on the bench and become moldy. Then Voroshilov might have ridiculed Mironov. This level of "persecution" is not enough to make Mironov rebel in anger!
Li Xiaofeng felt that the main reason why Mironov betrayed was that there were changes in subjectively and ideologically. The factors of Stalin and Voroshilov played a role in fueling the fire at most. It should be said that the conclusions drawn by Stalin and Trotsky were incorrect. Mironov was neither a mole that was scheming or Lin Chong who forced him to go to Liangshan. The most important reason why this man betrayed the revolution was that he could not stand the Bolsheviks' policies. To put it bluntly, it was that he was full of anger at the communist policies during the war.
Do the central government know this reason? It should be said that everyone knows a lot, but knowing it does not mean that it can be broken. Although the communist policy during the war was extremely destructive to the economy and the people's hearts, it is undeniable that this played a very important role in the Bolsheviks gaining a foothold and winning the civil war.
Without this policy, the Bolsheviks might have been called "Daily Day and Earth" and could not do anything. It is very likely that just like the previous several provisional governments, it would soon collapse. From the perspective of future generations, we must criticize this policy, but we have to admit that only the Bolsheviks could implement this super powerful policy, and it is precisely because of the strength they showed that they gained power.
After 73 years, when they were confused by new thinking and were destroyed by martial arts, the Bolsheviks forgot the magic weapon for their ancestors to succeed, and were kicked off the stage in a mess, acting even worse than the clown. Let's put it this way, they were like Nicholas II 73 years ago, like Liwolf and Kerensky, and it was naturally not surprising that they lost their regime.
Of course, this topic is a bit far-reaching. For Mironov, a person with a conscience like him, he really couldn't stand the wartime communist policy of robbery. He believed that this policy completely deviated from the core ideas of the Bolsheviks and the people of the whole country who carried the Bolsheviks to the throne.
He was very idealistic, confused, lost his belief, and felt that the future was dark. He no longer felt that it was meaningful to follow the Bolsheviks. He had a naive mind and made a decision with a simple dualism. Since the Bolsheviks were wrong, the White Army opposed to the Bolsheviks should be right. So I should leave the Bolsheviks and then go to the White Army.
This determination was very sudden and hasty. Mironov was like taking a nap, his mind was confused, and then his mind was hot and he changed his door. It was because it was sudden enough that Cheka, who had been monitoring him, had no time to react. He watched him escape to the White Army and then made a big joke.
However, Mironov soon regretted this hasty decision. The world is not black or white, and there is no clear enough dividing line to isolate good and evil, as well as right and wrong. This real world is actually a bucket of paste, black, white, and colorful all mixed together, without the absolute sense of right and wrong, good and evil.
Let me put it this way, good people will do the wrong things, and bad people may not necessarily not do a good thing in their lives. The more macro aspects it is, the blurring of this boundary. Take the Bolsheviks and Lenin as an example. Can they evaluate them with simple good and bad?
It is true that they have mistakes, but they also have creations. In that particular historical period, since they were able to come to the forefront, since they were chosen by the Russian people, there must be a reason. In other words, the same is true for wartime communist policies, and there is no way to evaluate them with right and wrong.
You said it was right, it had great destructive power, overdrawn the credibility of the Bolsheviks and almost destroyed the reborn Soviet Union. But if you want to say it was wrong, it played a key role again during that period.
So let’s not worry about right or wrong, and we can’t tell the difference. According to Lenin, don’t worry about the means first and just look at the starting point!
Unfortunately, Mironov is a very serious person. He just wants to draw a line for himself and must divide it into black and white. So he joined the White Army, so he soon regretted it.
Why?
That's right, the Bolsheviks implemented a wartime communist policy, which was robbery and exploitation. It is true that the White Army did not have any wartime communist policy, which seemed good, but the problem is that the White Army, which did not engage in wartime communist policies, would not rob or exploit?
This is a very interesting question. People today only focus on the Bolsheviks' wartime communist policies. They regard this as unforgivable. The question is, what was the White Army, which did not have wartime communist policies in that year?
Are they opening a warehouse to help the people? Are they doing charity?
If the White Army did this back then, it would be better to stare at the Bolsheviks and put them in ten thousand feet. The problem is that the White Army really did not do these good people and good things back then. They did not have the communist policy in wartime, were even worse than the Bolsheviks who implemented communist policies in wartime. They were much more cruel than the Bolsheviks who killed people and set fires, and robbed strong women.
In fact, if you look at Makhno, you will know how unpopular the White Army is. Makhno and the Bolsheviks have a breakup and reunion and honeymoon period, but this bird is not a bird, such as Denikin and Flanger, and even the envoys they sent, they ask whether they ask or not, and they kill them directly. Is there no reason for this?
Let me put it this way, the Russian people were so tragic back then. The active forces on the political stage seemed to have problems. These forces were not the worst, but even worse. They could only choose one that was relatively less bad. After searching for them, there were only the Bolsheviks.
However, Mironov was not as lucky as the Russian people. It took less than a year to find the last choice. Mironov felt that he had made the wrong choice and was determined to correct this mistake. As a result, he fell into a dung bucket, which was so regretful!
In the worse White Army, there is no wartime communist policy. For them, robbery is a way to survive. Torturing and killing the enemy and its supporters is an effective means to weaken the enemy. As for venting a little animal desire, it is even more normal. Isn’t it just a few untouchables? It’s her honor to be favored by her!
Let me put it this way, when it comes to rob food, the Bolsheviks also need to use a policy to guide the implementation. For the White Army, there is no need for any policy guidance at all. This is a matter for them and there is no need to be as unnecessary as the Bolsheviks.
Mironov changed his boss and decided to find a real revolutionary conscience, but the result was a blow. When the White Army continued to use various methods to lower their bottom line and integrity, and when they continued to challenge Mironov's bottom line, Mironov had the intention to leave again.
It seems that I should change another boss?
However, for Mironov, it is harder to think about it simply. The White Army did not monitor the counter-revolutionary enemies. For them, there was only one way to deal with traitors and deserters, that is, kill them directly, and there would never be any exceptions.
It is not only dangerous to escape from the White Army, but also for Mironov, who will he join after leaving the White Army?
This is a serious problem, and it offended the two largest forces in Russia. Mironov seemed to have no place to stay. The Bolsheviks regarded him as a traitor and wanted him comprehensively, and they would never let him go; as for the White Army, it was even more cruel than the Bolsheviks. Anyway, no matter how you look at Mironov, there was no boss to change. Moreover, changing the boss again and again will continue to lower his integrity. Even if a new boss accepts him, he will no longer trust him.
Can an untrustworthy person show his strength and show his ambitions?
Mironov knew that it was impossible. So even if he lived a very unsatisfactory life in the White Army, he would not dare to make any choice easily.
"Mironov can still be saved!"
Mironov didn't know that Li Xiaofeng was determined to help him make a choice thousands of kilometers away. It would be a pity that a soldier like him would just let him waste his time. If he could give him another chance, Li Xiaofeng believed that this person would know which side he was standing on.
Dmitry Alexander Lovich was a little surprised. As the illegitimate son of Count Tolstoy and as a former nobleman (Alexander Lovich inherited the title at the age of 16, but the tragic thing is that it was 1917), it was difficult for him to absorb elements like him to be absorbed into the Bolsheviks.
However, the immediate boss, who was only one year older than him, did this, secretly developed him to join the party and showed full trust in him. To be honest, even Alexander Lovic didn't know why?
The reason is very simple. Li Xiaofeng knew that this was an extremely outstanding spy. To be honest, he was Russia's 007 and escaped by chance more than once from the enemy's gun. He obtained a lot of extremely important information for the Soviet Union.
And his ability is second. What is more important is his ethics. In 1937, when he achieved great success and was about to go to Germany to work, bad luck came. He was slandered by Yerufu as a foreign spy. After experiencing inhuman torture, he was forced to plead guilty. Even though he wisely turned his confession in court, he was still sentenced to 20 years of labor reform in concentration camps.
It was not until 1954 that the elegant ace spy was released after squatting in the concentration camp for 16 years. Logically speaking, Alexander Lovic had every reason to complain and complain during this period, because the concentration camps in the Soviet Union were not so good, but he said: "What is this? I am still in my job and still serving the Soviet people. I should live up to my mission and stick to my oath, and I will definitely hold on!"
What's even more terrifying is not the torture of the **. During Alexander Lovic's jail, his mother refused to accept the slander of her son and decided to commit suicide by taking poison! His wife, also his most important assistant in secret activities, was also implicated and persecuted to death.
Especially in 1952, Alexander Lovich was imprisoned with 28 German Nazis. In addition to another Russian inmate, he could not find someone to speak, so he had to laugh at himself: "The two Soviets could only whisper in the territory of the Soviet Union. This is simply a prison in prison!"
However, even after suffering so much persecution, Alexander Lovic has never changed his loyalty to his motherland and career. This is what Li Xiaofeng values him the most. For those who work in spies, loyalty and belief are too important, because this industry is full of deception and disguise. A lot of excellent spies may not withstand temptation or have been used to living in masks, so they embark on another path. Li Xiaofeng does not want the ace spy he carefully cultivated to become a Lilwinian-like existence.
However, Alexander Lovic didn't know how much hope a certain immortal had given him. He was quite puzzled by the nature of this mission - to instigate a traitor who betrayed the revolution, and how unreliable it is.
"Why do you need to retaliate against him?" asked Alexander Lovic.
Li Xiaofeng gave an explanation that Mironov could be saved, but Alexander Lovic was not satisfied with this explanation. There are many people in this world that can be saved, so why is Mironov the special one?
Li Xiaofeng smiled and explained: "The Red Army and the Revolution need his military talent!"
This is true. To be honest, Mironov's second riding series performed better in the battle against Denikin and Flanger, and his record was greater than that of Budonnie and Voroshilov. Without this fierce man, the Southwest Front would probably suffer a loss against Denikin and Flanger!
Of course, this is not the most important. The most important thing is that the success of the cavalry system had a great impact on the later regularization of the Soviet Red Army. If the first cavalry of the Stalin system gained the upper hand, it would be quite a resistance to the subsequent mechanization and the promotion and application of the theory of large-scale combat.
Therefore, Li Xiaofeng wanted to find a cavalry general who had a record of not weaker than or stronger than Budjonny to balance the influence of the first cavalry and minimize the adverse effects. At least, the Stalin team could not make a one-man show in the cavalry system.
Alexanderovitch did not know the long-term plan of a certain immortal, so he did not agree with Mironov's military talent. Indeed, it was only after 1919 that Mironov was shining, but history was incited by a certain immortal, but his talent was not fully displayed, so it was normal for Alexanderov to underestimate Mironov.
"It's not only based on military considerations," Li Xiaofeng smiled and said, "and political considerations. Mironov's sudden rebellion has caused extremely bad political influence, making us very passive..."
Alexander Lovic suddenly interrupted, "Then let me assassinate him, so that the world can see the end of betrayal of the revolution!"
Li Xiaofeng smiled bitterly and said, "Killing him can certainly vent his anger, but it cannot completely eliminate the bad political influence. If he betrays the White Army again and returns to our side, what impact does this have on us and the White Army?"
Alexander Lovic thought for a while and nodded: "I agree with you. We must first eliminate political influence. But I still have questions."
"You said." Li Xiaofeng said with a kind look.
"I doubt whether Mironov is worth saving. If he is a hard-core counter-revolutionary, wouldn't it hurt the revolution?"
If someone else was asking endlessly about Li Xiaofeng, he would have let that guy get out of here. But Alexander Lovic is different. This is an excellent agent recruiting master. He must fully exert his subjective initiative so that he can fully demonstrate his talent.
Li Xiaofeng nodded and said, "The questions you raised are very meaningful, and we really need to beware of this. So I authorize you to observe Mironov's every move comprehensively, study and analyze his political tendencies, and finally come to an objective conclusion. I will decide Mironov's fate based on your conclusion!"
Poor Mironov didn't know that his fate was handed over to Alexander Lovic by a certain immortal. He didn't have much affection for this overly young noble chief of staff. He didn't like dealing with nobles, and he didn't like little brats... (To be continued...)
