When Trotsky thought of Zinoviev's big face, he felt a headache. Since he was put on a trick in the defense of Petrograd, the guy remembered him. Whether in the Politburo or the Central Committee, he would sarcastically mock him whenever he had the chance.

Let me put it this way, as long as Trotsky supported it, Zinoviev must oppose it, and he has a firm attitude to oppose it to the end. It can be imagined that if Trotsky wants to use Beirut to open up the situation, Zinoviev will not be able to pass that level!

Ulitsky suggested: "Would you like to let Comrade Kamenev do some work and let him think of a solution?"

Kamenev? To be honest, Trotsky has always had a bad impression of Kamenev. The reason why he recently supported this guy to return to the core leadership of the Bolsheviks is that his enemy is a friend. Trotsky needs Kamenev to face Lenin. To put it bluntly, he and Kamenev are just a relationship of mutual use.

Moreover, Trotsky always felt that Kamenev was unreliable, and that guy was just a ungrateful wolf. Anyway, he would never be completely in a climax with that guy until he had no choice. Who knows when this bastard would attack behind his back? Anyway, Trotsky didn't dare to give Kamenev this opportunity.

"Now I can only trust Kamenev once!" Ulitsky persuaded, "After all, he still needs your support now!"

Trotsky sighed in his heart. Ulitsky said this. If Kamenev hadn't needed his support, that guy would have turned against him. And this time, he was going to ask Kamenev, and I'm afraid the guy would have spoken out loud!

"We must look at the long term, and the world revolution is more important in the long term!" Ulitsky advised again.

After a while, Trotsky sighed. Now he can only comfort himself so much. He must look at it in the long run, for the sake of the Great Revolution. What is the loss of a little bit of interest now compared to the interests after the victory of the Great Revolution?

"I'll go see Kamenev!"

Trotsky made up his mind and he took the initiative. But what Lao Tuo didn't expect was that the development of the situation would soon exceed his expectations. In fact, he didn't need to ask Kamenev at all, because the Allies would soon help him solve the most difficult problems.

On September 9, 1919, just as Trotsky paid a considerable price to persuade Kamenev to help, the Politburo suddenly held an emergency meeting and conveyed an incredible news to him that Germany had reached an agreement with the Allies and completely surrendered!

A loud bang! Trotsky was stunned, uh, or was shocked by great joy. What does Germany's surrender mean? It means that no one can stop the Allies. The Allies won the victory of this war and they can devote themselves to the grand cause of killing*!

It seems that this is not good news. How do you think that the direct interference of the Allies will become the death talisman of the Bolsheviks? Who can believe that the weak Bolsheviks can withstand the joint strangulation of several of the most powerful imperialist countries in the world?

Anyway, at that time, the mainstream was the mainstream. Many of the White Army who had just fled to France, Sweden and Northeast were all happy. They believed that the time to turn defeat into victory had finally come!

But Trotsky didn't think so. He believed that although the challenges that the Bolsheviks were about to face were arduous, the Bolsheviks and Russia were not lambs to be slaughtered. On the contrary, he believed that they had full power to fight, and even believed that in a sense they still had an advantage!

Trotsky felt that the proletariat in Europe and the whole world had awakened. As long as he had the recognition and support of the proletariat in the whole world, it was completely possible to overturn the old imperialist order. He even felt that these imperialists were simply living Lei Feng. When he tried his best to persuade Lenin and persuaded the conservatives in the party to advance towards Central and Western Europe, imperialism came to his own door!

"The surrender of German imperialism means that the imperialism of the whole world has become a collusion. In order to maintain their dominance over the world, the next move of the imperialist group will inevitably be to interfere in Poland, East Prussia, Belarus, Ukraine, and the Baltic Three Kingdoms, and finally, it will inevitably interfere in our country's revolution! Comrades, Germany's surrender is a signal. It means that our decisive battle with the imperialist group has begun!"

Looking at Trotsky who was full of passion and passion, Lenin was speechless. He had tried his best to stop the overly radical Trotsky from doing anything, which should be said to be quite good. Who would have thought that the Germans suddenly surrendered? As Trotsky said, this is indeed a signal of the outbreak of the decisive battle between the proletariat and the bourgeoisie. Without Germany's drag on the throne, the Allies would never let Russia and the Bolsheviks go, which means that the next focus must be to prepare for the decisive battle!

In fact, in Lenin's view, the battlefield for the decisive battle has been chosen, that is Poland. Whoever can win in Poland can laugh at the end. In order to take the initiative, Trotsky's plan to advance directly to Poland regardless of Ukraine is already unstoppable!

Who made this the general trend? Even Lenin could only give in, and Trotsky could only make trouble!

"We still have some time and have taken advantage of it!" Trotsky said excitedly, "Poland's reactionary forces have suffered heavy damage. Pisusky's base camp Warsaw is already an isolated island. We need to do it, which is to destroy this island, cleanly and completely eradicate the reactionary forces of Poland, and then advance eastward, liberate Germany, liberate France, until Britain and the United States!"

It has to be said that Trotsky seemed too excited and a little nervous at this time. However, his neurotic and incoherent speeches were recognized by the Central Committee. As Lenin said, this is the general trend and cannot be stopped at all.

The Central Committee quickly passed the proposal proposed by Trotsky to advance into Poland to help the Polish Workers' Party establish a socialist Poland. Around this proposal, the Supreme Military Commission soon became anxious to the plenary meeting to focus on this issue.

On that day, Lenin, Trotsky, Sverdlov, Stalin, Derzhinsky and commanders and political commissars of various fronts gathered together, and they will determine the fate of Poland and the future Eastern and Central Europe.

"Occupy Warsaw!" Trotsky said bluntly, "This is the inevitable choice!"

After saying that, he glanced around and said with a bit of a rude sense: "In the direction of Poland, we can invest in two fronts, the Belarusian front and the Baltic front. I think these two fronts should actively carry out actions and take the lead in occupying Warsaw. Fully mobilize the Polish proletariat, and then fight a decisive battle with imperialism in the direction west of Warsaw!"

Lenin did not speak, Sverdlov and Stalin did not say anything, and Li Xiaofeng naturally would not say anything. It was useless to oppose what the Central Committee had decided. However, Ubolevic wanted to say something, but Li Xiaofeng kicked him under the table and told him not to speak out.

What did Ubolevich want to say? He simply wanted to say that the troops were not strong enough! Of course, it was not because the troops were not strong enough to seize Warsaw. It was because the troops were not strong enough to fight against imperialism. The Baltic Front included the Red Flag Baltic Fleet, which was only more than 100,000 people, and could barely form three armies. In addition, the 100,000 troops of the East Prussian People's Liberation Army, there were only 200,000 people.

Let’s talk about the Belarusian Front Army. This front army is composed of the main force of the Eastern Front Army, with four armies of more than 200,000 troops. In addition, the support of the local Red Army from Belarus, a total of 300,000 people.

Two hundred thousand plus three hundred thousand is a total of 500,000, which seems to be quite a lot. But it must be noted that these are all the forces. In fact, the Baltic Front and the East Prussian People's Liberation Army can only bring on the battlefield by only 150,000 or 60,000. And Tukhachevsky could only squeeze out 250,000 people at most. This kind of person was pulled to the endless Polish plains to fight against imperialism, which was really not enough.

You know. Germany alone has millions of troops, and the Allies will not be lower than this number. Even if they cannot interfere with Poland with all their strength, it is not difficult to raise a million people, right? Even if they make a half-fold, can they always get together?

Even if the Allies only came to 500,000 people, it would be enough for the Red Army to drink. Moreover, these 500,000 people were not the troops of the men who became monks halfway, but were regular troops that had actually received baptism in the first battle! To be honest, the Red Army was really not formal.

It may be that the Red Army bullies Poland, Finland and the half-baked White Army are not a big problem. However, when encountering the regular army of the Allies, there is really no advantage at all. Not only does it have no advantages. The disadvantage is also very obvious. In terms of heavy firepower. For example, artillery, the Allies can get away from the Red Army.

How did Napoleon Tukhachevsky, who was full of energy in China in history, suffer from defeat in Warsaw? On the one hand, the Red Army's organization is indeed problematic. It has excess mobility and lacks heavy firepower to attack. After encountering an enemy whose firepower is obviously superior, it will be suppressed and unable to raise its head!

What was the situation of the Red Army in this time and space? To be honest, it was not much better than in history. In the Eastern Front, which was galloping around and playing mobile operations in Urals and Siberia, was basically thrown aside with machine guns, a small number of mortars and light field artillery.

What's even more terrifying is that Tukhachevsky and Trotsky have not yet realized this weakness and are still preparing to fight foreign wars according to the civil war pattern. How could Ubolevic not be in a hurry?

Ubolevich in history probably never thought about this problem, but now, after being tested on the Polish battlefield and being asked by a certain immortal from a person who has experienced it, he fully realized that machine guns alone cannot solve all problems on the battlefield.

In the previous Battle of Ukinia and Warsaw, the Poles performed badly, but this does not mean that the Poles had no highlights! For example, the positional warfare. The reason why the two battles were so difficult was that it was a positional warfare, rather than the "crazy" mobile operation in China. The East Prussian People's Liberation Army spent a lot of effort and casualties to snatch the Poles' positions. The main reason was that it was insufficient firepower and underestimated the cruelty of positional warfare. Many times, people had to fill it in with their lives.

After the battle, there was one in the summary of Ubolevich's battle: the existing artillery firepower configuration is too weak! You should know that whether it is the East Prussian People's Liberation Army or the Gru U, the artillery configuration is much stronger than the domestic standard version of the Red Army, and even they struggled. The domestic Red Army encountered the regular army of the Allies, which was really terrible.

Ubolevic, Trotsky and Tukhachevsky had a good relationship. After discovering this big loophole, he certainly had to mention it, otherwise the decisive battle with imperialism would be a meat bun to fight the dog without going back.

"Why don't you let me say it?" Ubolevic asked unhappily.

Li Xiaofeng smiled bitterly and shook his head and said, "What's the use of what you said? Do you think Trotsky will listen? Do you think Comrade Tukhachevsky will care?"

"Why can't it?" Ubolevic was anxious.

Li Xiaofeng shook his head again and said, "I ask you, do we have time to adjust the firepower configuration of Belarus's military side?"

Ubolevic was silent. How anxious is Trotsky now? He wished that Tukhachevsky would immediately march westward to occupy Warsaw after the meeting was dispersed. You ask him to study the organizational issues of the Red Army honestly and ask him to wait for the rear to re-equip him with artillery, will he listen and wait?

In fact, Li Xiaofeng only talked about the reasons for Trotsky. In fact, Tukhachevsky might not necessarily listen to Ubolevic's suggestions. It is true that their relationship was good before, but at that time, when it came to personal relationships and talking about official affairs, especially such a fatal issue, Tukhachevsky attached more importance to Trotsky's orders rather than Ubolevic's suggestions.

This is just one aspect. On the other hand, what does Tukhachevsky say? First of all, he is very proud. As a military genius, he is very talented and has outstanding abilities. Moreover, since the outbreak of the civil war, he has been smooth sailing. It can be said that he has not been tested too much.

This determines that he is now a little bit of a slight tail, and he also needs to see that Tukhachevsky's promotion speed is too fast. He jumped from a battalion-level cadre to the front level within one or two years. Even if he is genius, he lacks experience and experience.

It is conceivable that Tukhachevsky is now full of confidence because he lacks a decent opponent, and still lacks experience and experience. At this time, he probably thinks that his troops are an invincible lion. Not to mention that they are perfect, they are perfect. How could he listen to Ubolevich's advice?

The reason why he defeated Warsaw in history was because Voroshilov was dragging his back and the lack of firepower in the army, but the fundamental reason was that he underestimated the enemy and made a rash move. He wanted to capture Warsaw too much and wanted such a great contribution! As a result, he was only staring at the credit, but he was hit by a slap and made a fool of himself!

Li Xiaofeng knew very well that Tukhachevsky could not hear the advice at this time, and it was useless to persuade him. Not only were there any problems with Trotsky and Tukhachevsky, but the commanders and fighters of the Eastern Front Army were as problematic as the commanders and fighters. They had adapted to the combat mode of civil war. They "had hated the heavy cannons to the core." In fact, Russia was not without cannons in the country back then. After all, the Russians were fighting against the Germans, and there was no cannon to fight the trench war!

Because of the civil war, the Eastern Front Army was always in constant maneuvering and raiding, so they naturally had no love for the bulky artillery. In their words: "Without the cannon, we defeated Kolchak and Denikin! This fully shows that the cannon is of no use!"

This kind of psychology and this kind of thinking will never wake up until it is a blow or a great loss. For example, why did Tukhachevsky, in history, later vigorously promote mechanization and deep-seated battles? He was humiliated in Warsaw. He was so obsessed with the pain that he had gone to the other extreme.

For Li Xiaofeng, Trotsky and Tukhachevsky were already hindered and could not persuade him at all. Moreover, their deaf behavior was not completely unhealthy to the future Red Army. They used practical actions to verify the future combat mode, and without using the hands of the Allies to teach Trotsky a lesson, this guy would not stop!

So after Trotsky explained his battle plan, Li Xiaofeng first picked him out: "The Baltic Front is willing to do his best to liberate Poland, but the previous period of liberation of the Baltic Three Kingdoms had consumed most of the energy of the troops and could not march towards Poland in a short period of time. We need time to rest!"

Trotsky frowned slightly and asked, "How much time do you need to rest?"

"It will take at least one month!"

"So long?"

Trotsky was very unhappy, but he immediately realized that this did not seem bad. If the Baltic Front did not come to grab the credit, then the achievements of occupying Warsaw would belong to Tukhachevsky and him. To be honest, Warsaw is simply an empty city, and there is no problem to take it down!

After realizing this, Trotsky immediately changed his words: "Since that's the case, the Baltic Front will have a good rest! Comrade Tukhachevsky, are you confident of completing the task alone?"

Tukhachevsky was not stupid either, so he naturally agreed immediately and even handed Ubolevic a sorry look.

What Stalin wanted to say during this period? He seemed very dissatisfied with Trotsky and Tukhachevsky's behavior of robbing credit for his achievements, and was even more furious with Li Xiaofeng's incompetence. If he was to be in a position, he was leading the Baltic Front, so he must compete with Trotsky!

However, as soon as he spoke, Lenin kicked him without any trace, and even the mentor gave him a meaningful look... (To be continued)
