509 Fighting
So is Li Xiaofeng really as proud as Li Erwen expected? It should be said that no, a certain immortal is not only not proud, but also has a headache. [Why? Is it going well in Latvia?
Of course not, but because it is progressing so smoothly that some people are jealous. As for some people, you know, only Trotsky.
It has been said before that at the beginning, Trotsky had no interest in the Three Baltic Kingdoms, and even regarded it as a burden, and did not want to get involved at all. However, when Li Xiaofeng used a brief plan to open up the situation, Lao Tou immediately regretted it!
With the fall of Riga, it was only a matter of time before Latvia was completely destroyed. According to Li Xiaofeng's plan, we only need to wait next. When the Latvian army could not hold on, everything was settled.
But Trotsky has now made a big splash. He believes that time is too precious and cannot be wasted even a little. He suggests that Latvian troops be dealt with immediately to avoid long nights and dreams.
"The situation of the revolution is undergoing amazing changes every day, no, every hour or even every minute. As revolutionaries, we cannot wait, and we should actively carry out our work. The Baltic Front should take advantage of the iron to solve the residual counter-revolutionary army in Latvia and restore the revolutionary order of Latvia in one fell swoop. This plays a crucial role in promoting the revolutionary development of Lithuania, Estonia and Belarus in the future. To be honest, when the Baltic Front can achieve comprehensive and thorough victory is related to the overall situation of the world revolution!"
Lao Tuo said this very irresponsible. In his mouth, the Latvian resistance seemed completely insignificant and did not need to be paid attention to. It seemed that the Baltic Front could solve Latvia with just a breath. But in fact, this was not the case. Although he used a surprise attack to capture Riga and occupied Latvia's political, economic and industrial centers. However, the Latvian army did not suffer serious losses.
On the contrary, the military system of Latvia was preserved very well, and the little bit of the poor Bala's troops of the Baltic Front could not solve the opponent. At this time, Trotsky suddenly proposed to speed up the pace and eliminate Latvia as soon as possible, which was simply a problem and eye-catching issue for Li Xiaofeng.
So, why did Trotsky do this? Could it be that he had overly optimistically estimated the power of the Baltic Front and misjudged the situation of the war?
Obviously, Trotsky, as the chairman of the Military Commission, was not so amateur. The reason why he did this was simple and profound was that the Baltic Front was not strong enough that he had a chance. If the Baltic Front could destroy the Three Baltic Kingdoms in a minute, he would not bother to participate in this matter.
It’s obvious! The Baltic Front is not strong enough to quickly eat the big cake of the Baltic Three Kingdoms. Tukhachevsky’s Belarusian Front is completely rich, so you can share the cake of the Baltic Three Kingdoms!
Trotsky deliberately wanted to ask Li Xiaofeng a difficult problem, that is, he wanted to be a general. He first infinitely raised the significance of the three Baltic countries, elevated this to the height of the core political interests, and made someone unable to stand up. Then he used this to put pressure on someone to retreat and had to obediently expose some of the interests.
I have to say that Trotsky is really calculating!
Indeed, Li Xiaofeng was in a difficult situation. He was also very struggling. According to his plan, he would just delay for a while and wait for the Latvians to collapse and then go up and beat the dogs. Who would have thought that Lao Tuo would join him and allow him to speed up the solution to the problems left over from the Three Baltic Kingdoms. No matter how you look at the immortal who has a small appetite and is a little indigested, he can only give in.
"Comrade Andre must come up with a specific timetable!" Trotsky continued to put pressure on, "The Belarusian Front cannot always stay in the direction of Great Luki and Smolensk. They still have to liberate Belarus and there is not much time to wait!"
Trotsky's move was equivalent to cutting off the fire. He threatened to transfer the Belarusian front that deterred Latvia. His purpose was nothing more than to endorse Tukhachevsky, and he said: "Since the Baltic front is not strong, then don't let the Belarusian front be idle. Tukhachevsky will deal with Latvia!"
I have to say that this is a serious provocation. At least in the eyes of Sverdlov and Stalin, Trotsky was deliberately trying to grab credit, just to grab food from their Leninists! How can he tolerate this?
"This is a bad statement. The plan formulated by Comrade Andre is being implemented effectively and has achieved unprecedented victory. It can be said that the comprehensive victory of the Latvian Revolution is just around the corner. In this case, why should we change the original plan and stimulate the Estonians? I think Comrade Trotsky's suggestions are completely inexplicable!"
As soon as Xiao Si came up, he was fully fired and squirted Trotsky for a while, and he almost said that you just wanted to take credit.
But Trotsky didn't care and replied confidently: "How could it be inexplicable? Comrade Andre's plan is very good, but there is no room for supplement? What's wrong with the situation and adapting to the situation? The situation on the battlefield is changing, so what's wrong with us making some adjustments in time?"
Stalin sneered: "But your adjustment method is all wrong. We previously suggested that Comrade Tukhachevsky solve the problem of the Three Kingdoms of the Baltic together, but if you don't agree, he is also afraid of difficulties. Now Comrade Andre has basically solved the problem there, and Comrade Tukhachevsky and you and Comrade Tukhachevsky have to intervene again. What does this mean?"
I have to say that in this round of confrontation, Stalin performed better than Sverdlov. Trotsky was already obviously shameless. What's the use of trying to reason with him like Xiao Si? Only by directly piercing the window paper like Stalin and opening the skylight to speak can Trotsky feel uncomfortable and make him retreat.
Trotsky was about to explain that he was not trying to get a bargain or grab the credit, but Stalin said regardless of the matter: "If Comrade Trotsky, you think the speed is too slow and it is very simple. We all know that the Baltic Front lacks troops. Why not just call out several armies from the Belarusian Front to temporarily allocate them to the Baltic Front for command. After solving the problems of the three Baltic Kingdoms, how about returning to the construction?"
Trotsky was so hungry that he didn't spit out a mouthful of old blood. Stalin was so cruel. He opened his mouth and saw several armies. Damn, the Belarusian Front had only four armies with more than a little more troops. You are going to pull out the Belarusian Front!
And it is not just a matter of pulling out all, but after these troops were lent to the Baltic Front, all the credits were counted on the Baltic Front. Damn it. If Trotsky was a living Lei Feng who was eager to help others, how could he agree to such a stupid thing?
However, when things go to this point, Trotsky had to come up with a good excuse, but for him, it was just a matter of turning his eyes. He found an excuse in minutes: "Since that's the case, then proceed as planned. But I must also emphasize that the Belarusian front cannot wait endlessly, Comrade Andre must come up with a specific timetable, and Belarus must also liberate Belarus!"
In fact, this is still an excuse, and he still does not give up. However, even Stalin cannot object. First of all, the Belarusian Front is indeed cooperating with the Baltic Front. They still have important tasks, so there is no reason to keep working, right?
Secondly, the reason why Stalin spoke for a certain immortal just now was just to safeguard the core interests of the group. Since Trotsky had taken a step back and was not so aggressive, he naturally stopped when he saw the opportunity. How could he say that his relationship with Xiao Si and a certain immortal was just that, it was impossible to really help him speak.
Even Lenin could not accuse Trotsky of being too much. Belarus could not wait forever, and the problems of the three Baltic countries could not be delayed for a long time. One thing Trotsky was right, that is, Chi Ze changed. Now that he has finally grasped a little initiative, how can he give it away while waiting?
So Lenin's tendency is to give Li Xiaofeng a certain amount of time. It is best to be able to successfully win the Three Baltic Kingdoms within this time range. If he can't take it, it means that this big cake is not something that someone can swallow in one bite, and it is normal to give it to Trotsky one piece.
Therefore, Li Xiaofeng quickly felt the pressure from the mentor. He must solve Latvia before early August, otherwise the Belarusian front army would intervene in full. This gave him a headache. Objectively speaking, if he personally took action to solve Latvia, it would be a piece of cake. The problem is that now he can't take action, and he has to give priority to the problem of gold. He can't go anywhere before gold is obtained.
"Damn Trotsky, I'll cause trouble for me. Please wait for me, so you can see something nice in the future!"
However, in Yakov's opinion, such ruthless words have no meaning, and the problem still exists. It is very likely that someone should take care of both sides, which will lead to the failure of both sides. He suggested: "We are taking too big steps, and there is not enough manpower. At this time, we can only take care of one end. I suggest giving up part of the interests of the Three Baltic Kingdoms for a while and giving Trotsky a step. The loss is not great. Even Comrade Lenin will only think that you know the general and know how to advance and retreat!"
That's right, but Li Xiaofeng was unhappy! Trotsky had robbed Yakov's credit before, but the account was not settled. Now Lao Tuo wanted to openly put on his cake, but it was a must. Trotsky's repeated provocations have made a certain immortal very dissatisfied. He couldn't swallow this tone!
"How is the gold battle going?" Li Xiaofeng suddenly asked.
Yakov smiled bitterly. He knew that someone was not going to let go, but he didn't have many ways, because he was just an aide and could only give advice to the boss. As for whether the boss listened or not, that was the boss's business.
"It was a mess. The British and Americans ordered Kapuper to hand over the gold immediately and brought out the constitutional committee to put pressure on him. However, Kapuper refused to obey and even said bluntly that he refused to obey the orders of the Russian traitor who betrayed Kolchak. The French thought Kapuper was theirs and helped waving the flag and shouting. As for the Japanese and Semenov, their noses were crooked! But they could not use it even if they had the strength through the coloring Lengge River!"
Speaking of which, Semenov and the Japanese were really a tragedy. They thought that the only way out for escape could force Britain, France, the United States and the Russians to surrender. Who would have thought that these four families would ignore them at all. Although they had fought for gold, they also tightly guarded the west bank of the Selenge River, making no one of their troops come through. As a result, Semenov and the Japanese who were first attacking were eliminated first, and they could only watch out for nothing.
Li Xiaofeng cursed hatefully: "That's the Japanese. If I were them, I would let the White Army go to Chita via Middle East Road to Vladivostok. When these defeated soldiers arrived in the northeast, they would attack again when they arrived at their territory. At that time, both the British and Americans had to catch them. A group of short-sighted idiots disturbed my good things!"
Li Xiaofeng was indeed dissatisfied with the Japanese's response. According to his previous idea, if he wanted to get away with gold without knowing it, he had to find the most suitable person to take the blame, and that must be the Japanese.
He was going to help the Japanese get this batch of gold first, and then when the Japanese happily loaded the gold with shipments, he took away the gold at sea and then created the illusion of a shipwreck. At that time, the ship sank to the bottom of the sea and died without evidence. In the end, there were foolish Japanese soldiers who helped take the blame. How perfect is this!
But who would have thought that the Japanese were just missing a string in their brains. Before they could touch this batch of gold, they rushed to encourage Semenov to cause trouble. As a result, they were naturally strongly resisted by Britain, France, the United States and Russia. This led to the Japanese taking the blame for a certain immortal who could not continue to act in the good show that he was full at the beginning, which really annoyed him.
"By the way, do you know what Cappel is doing? Who instigated him?" Li Xiaofeng suddenly asked again.
Li Erwen thought it was Li Xiaofeng who planned Cappel's gold medal victory, and she also cheered someone's tricks, but in fact, Li Xiaofeng had no relationship with Cappel. When Cappel suddenly took action, Li Xiaofeng was also shocked and had no idea what this person had eaten.
Yakov analyzed: "The only French people who have had contact with Cappel before, but in my opinion, the French should not be that smart. I think Cappel either hides very deeply, or there are other forces behind him."
Li Xiaofeng nodded: "It seems that coveting gold is not only a mess of the Allies, but also some guys who are hiding deeply have not been dug out!"
"What should I do next? The original plan is no longer working!" Yakov reminded.
"I know!" Li Xiaofeng muttered a little annoyed, and then replied: "Don't hold on for the time being, I'll figure out who is behind Cappel."
"Then how can I answer the Japanese?" Yakov asked again.
Before, Yakov was responsible for contacting the Japanese. Is it a reason? Naturally, he pretended to defect to them and wanted to be their agents in the Far East. The Japanese naturally would not refuse such good things that came to their door. Naturally, the more agents, the better.
Li Xiaofeng thought for a while and said, "Remind them to pay attention to Feng Enqin and tell them that the guy has connections with British and Americans, but don't say it too specifically, be a little vague..."
Just watch a moment of silence for the poor British and Americans. One of their most important trump cards was inexplicably deposed by a certain immortal. Although Yakov's vague information was not enough to completely kill Semenov, he was suspected to be unable to escape.
"What's going on? Who exposed Feng Enqin's contact with us!"
Lierwen was surprisingly angry. When she was planning to let von Enchen counterattack, knock down Semenov and re-control the situation, the Bloody Baron was suddenly deprived of most of his military power by Semenov, and even half-housed and half-surveillance, which made everything go was wasted.
Could it be that some bastard is doing it?
After thinking carefully for a while, Li Erwen felt that this was the most likely. But she didn't understand, what good is this for someone? Could it be that Xie Miaonov was also a secret person set by someone?
To be honest, Lierwen felt that her thought was too crazy. If Kapuper and Semenov were both people of a certain immortal, the White Army would have finished playing, and the situation would definitely not be like this. Soon she realized that one of Kapuper and Semenov was definitely not someone who was not a certain immortal, otherwise the situation would definitely not be like this. So, was it Kapuper or Semenov?
"Send me twenty-four hours to stare at Kappel and Semenov, follow anyone who has had contact with them, and be sure to find out who is behind them!"
While issuing this order, Li Erwen also nervously thought about countermeasures. After all, the mess in front of him must be resolved immediately. The Red Army is about to catch up, and time is extremely urgent!
"Have the big fish you are waiting for yet to take the bait?" Kapuper was also secretly anxious about the current situation. If he continues like this, he will only be able to get the Red Army in the end! As a loyal friend of Kolchak, he hates the Red Army from the bottom of his heart.
"Wait a little longer and keep calm! Andre Petrovic is a very unusual big fish!" The mysterious man stressed tirelessly, "If you don't solve him, Russia will never be able to return to normal!"
Cappel sighed and said decisively: "I will only wait for the last two days. If Andre Petrovic has not taken the bait within two days, I will never wait any longer!"
The mysterious man opened his mouth, but Cappel's expression told him that this stubborn mind would never give in. He had no choice but to nod and then left in depressed.
However, the mysterious man definitely didn't know that Li Xiaofeng heard his conversation with Cappelle, and Li Erwen's eyeliner also noticed his existence at the same time... (To be continued, please search for Astronomy, novels are better, updated and faster!
