The opinions of Kamenev and Zinoviev represented the views of a small group of right-leaning party members among the Bolsheviks. They were extremely unconfident in the strength of the working masses, extremely pessimistic about the prospects of the revolution, and always wanted to hand over power to the bourgeoisie. To put it mildly, these people are modest and cautious, and to say that it is not good, they are cowardly and timid.

That is to say, after the constant struggle and persuasion work of the mentor, there are very few such people in the party, and the vast majority of party members, as long as they have seen the ugly face of the joint investigation team last night, have no hope for the Soviets. They were even more disgusted by the statements of Milyukov and Zinoviev about the Soviets' gratitude to Dade!

"Nonsense!" Bukharin first couldn't bear it anymore and jumped up from his seat, "What the Soviets are doing our comrades have seen, did they save our party and our comrades?" ”

Speaking of this, Bukharin angrily waved his fist at Miryyukov and Zinoviev: "As far as I can see, the Soviets not only did not give us any support, not even verbal support. From the very beginning, they were here to find fault, to deal with us! Have you forgotten the ugly face of Axherry Lot? Have you forgotten what he said yesterday? I don't understand how you can come to such a ridiculous conclusion! All our comrades will not agree with this conclusion! Never! ”

"It's just your personal opinion!" Outraged by Bukharin's attitude, Kamenev also jumped up from his seat and shouted up and down: "You dare to say that there are no Soviets. Can we get a just result, can we arrest and judge Milyukov and Alexander? Isn't this the credit of the Soviets? My comrade, you are simply talking nonsense with your eyes open! ”

Bukhalin smiled contemptuously and said, "You are the one who is talking nonsense with your eyes open!" We all saw it very clearly. If it weren't for the fact that Comrade Lenin, Comrade Dzerzhinsky and Comrade Andrei were well prepared to expose their ugly words and deeds to the members of the Central Executive Committee, do you think they would have done justice? You blind fool who only knows how to lick your enemy's ass, do you have all poop in your head? ”

Kamenev's mouth was crooked, he had never taken Bukharin's eyes before, and he had never even been a member of the Central Committee. How old are you? I think back then, he could crush Bukharin, if he stretched out a little finger, well, Stalin didn't take him seriously. People have the name of a member of the Central Committee, Nima, what do you have in Bukharin? Why did your grandson blow up the thorns!

"This is slander, shameful slander!" Kamenev hissed and exclaimed, "Comrades. You've all seen it. Reasoning could not convince me, and Bukharin began to curse! I strongly demand that he immediately retract those insulting and extremely inappropriate remarks, and make a profound review and apology in public! ”

"I don't think it's necessary!" Lenin said lightly, "I think that what Comrade Bukharin said is quite correct. Also thought-provoking. For some comrades who have always had problems with their ideology, in cases where ordinary exhortation and persuasion do not work. They can only use some Daigo empowerment methods to make them wake up! ”

"You!"

Kamenev did not expect that Lenin would openly applaud Bukharin. This is tantamount to Lenin directly saying that Bukharin's words and deeds are his acquiescence and approval, and even openly supporting Bukharin to slap him in the face!

Kamenev was anxious, and he trembled with anger when he pointed at Lenin: "Comrade Lenin! You are openly conniving at some comrades in the party who have problems with their work style and cultivation to make mistakes! This should not be the behavior of a member of the Central Committee! I strongly protest against this! ”

Lenin snorted contemptuously: "Protest? What right do you have to protest! Your words just now full of feces have greatly hurt the feelings of your comrades, and even more tarnished the glorious title of Bolshevik! I'm also sorry for the comrades who shed their blood and sacrificed their lives last night to defend the party and the revolution! ”

"Scolding you?" Lenin roared, "It is light to scold you, what right do you have to express dissatisfaction, what did you do for the party last night?" Where were you at the critical juncture of the party's life and death? The vast number of our comrades, by their own efforts, thwarted the intrigues and denials of the Provisional Government and the Soviets, while you want us to grovel to the enemy! But to deny the merits of comrades, shouldn't I scold you? I don't think it's too much to expel you from the party! ”

Kamenev was not convinced at all, he just wanted to continue arguing with Lenin, but Zinoviev next to him kicked him under the table without leaving a trace. At first, Kamenev did not understand why Zinoviev was kicking him, but when he looked around and saw that everyone in the meeting was looking at him with an angry and murderous look, the creature quickly grabbed his tail and sat down.

Lenin indifferently commented on Kamenev's every move, and he wished that Kamenev would continue to talk to him. Okay, as long as you are not afraid of offending the anger of the public, you can just say, not to scare you, and if you talk nonsense, you may not be able to get out of the Ksheshinskaya Palace, and the relatives and friends who shed blood and sacrificed their comrades last night will skin you alive!

In front of Kamenev, who was silent, Lenin snorted very disdainfully, the voice was not small, and basically everyone present heard it, but except for Kamenev and Zinoviev, no one felt that Lenin's contempt was wrong, in fact, everyone here wanted to despise Kamenev - who made Nima not speak human words!

Excluding Kamenev's interference, Lenin continued: "From the results of our confrontation with the enemy yesterday, it is clear that there is probably a considerable degree of unanimity between the Provisional Government and the Protectorist elements in the Soviets, and that their attempt to strangle the revolution is quite obvious. And now a part of the masses in Petrograd is still deceived by their illusion and does not recognize their true colors. In such a complex situation, our struggle must be more strategic, on the one hand, we must actively expose the enemy's mask and awaken the deceived masses. On the other hand, we must also unite all the forces that can be united, only those genuine revolutionaries who oppose the continuation of the imperialist war by the Provisional Government and who are not accustomed to seeing the Soviets as tigers. We need to win! ”

Lenin spoke at a long length, but Li Xiaofeng could tell that the core idea of the mentor was only one point—that is, to unite the allies against the Provisional Government and the Soviets controlled by the rightists. In fact, Li Xiaofeng can still hear more connotations, and what the Mentor really wants to say is to unite with Trotsky's regional faction.

Li Xiaofeng knew that before this, Lenin and Trotsky had agreed on many key issues, but what was missing was an opportunity to bring about a merger between the two parties. And now. The opportunity has already arisen.

In last night's events, it was not only the Bolsheviks who suffered a surprise attack from the Provisional Government, but Trotsky's district faction was also given special attention. However, Trotsky did not have any powerful immortals, so they were almost completely annihilated. If it weren't for Li Xiaofeng's help, they would have almost died.

It should be said that this incident had a great impact on Trotsky, who had previously felt that his district faction might not be as powerful as the Bolsheviks, but the real strength of the two sides should be half a pound or two. But after the scene of last night, Trotsky understood. It is indeed half a catty to eight taels, but it is only half a catty of scrap iron to Lenin's eight taels of gold.

On his side, the army was completely annihilated, but Lenin's Bolsheviks escaped death in an extremely unfavorable situation, and not only escaped without a hitch. There was even the strength to fight back, and the Provisional Government, which had the advantage at the beginning, was defeated. If it weren't for the Soviet bias, it is estimated that the second coalition government would have had to step down as soon as it came to power.

Trotsky saw it clearly. Faced with the same situation, the final result of the two sides was completely different, which touched him considerably. It made him realize that if he wanted to make a difference, he might not be able to rely on his own regional faction. But if it could unite with the Bolsheviks, it would be an opportunity.

After careful consideration, Trotsky made up his mind and sent Lunacharsky to offer an olive branch to Lenin. Lenin, on the other hand, was not as confident as Trotsky had imagined, and it was true that he had won the defeat last night, but he had won quite a fluke, and if it had not been for luck, I am afraid the result would have been very different.

Faced with such a situation, Lenin would also reflect and think, and he came to a conclusion similar to that of Trotsky - that is, the power was not enough, the force was too thin, not to mention the Provisional Government, which could not do anything with the empty shelf, and wrestling with the powerful Soviets was tantamount to suicide. And this is also an important reason why he will make a deal with Plekhanov and not hold Rodenko responsible.

Now that Lenin was suffering from the weakness of his strength, Trotsky duly handed over an olive branch, and the two sides naturally hit it off. Of course, it is not enough for the two bigwigs to agree on such a big event, which is why Lenin gave the blow.

"At noon today, Comrade Trotsky sent Comrade Lunacharsky to convey to me an intention!" Lenin spoke slowly, and only after the bigwigs present at the meeting had shown interest did he continue: "There is no need to say much about the ties of the district faction led by Comrade Trotsky to our Bolsheviks. Now, under the overall situation of the continuous development of the revolutionary situation, the comrades of the regional federation faction and our views are gradually converging. Under these circumstances, Comrade Trotsky believed that the district coalition led by him should return to the Bolsheviks and hoped that we would be able to move forward hand in hand......"

Before Lenin finished speaking, the bigwigs in the audience had begun to whisper, they were not completely unprepared for the news, and there were many scandals between the two parties after Trotsky returned home, but after the thunder and rain were small, the big guys had forgotten about the matter, who would have thought that Lenin would confirm the news at once, and everyone felt that it was too sudden for a while.

After a long time, after the initial shock, when the bigwigs digested the explosive news, they began to think more deeply about the possible impact of this news. First and foremost, of course, is the question of the reorganization and distribution of interests.

The big guys can think that Trotsky was a big man on the same level as Lenin in the old Social Democratic Labor Party, and even if his district faction were to be merged into the Bolsheviks, at least he would have to be the second-in-command under Lenin, and as for the members of the Central Committee, he would definitely not be able to escape. It was not only Trotsky who had a position as a member of the Central Committee, but also several generals under him. For example, Lunacharsky, for example, Ulitsky, it is estimated that these two should also occupy a seat in the Central Committee.

Everyone here is thinking that there are now five members and three alternate members of the Central Committee. If you count Trotsky and the other three, there must be eight, and if you count the alternate members of the Central Committee of the District Union, the Central Committee is properly in the single digits. What's more, in order to balance the forces of all sides, it is very likely that the Mentor will expand the Central Committee, and maybe those of them who are sitting there will be one or two positions at that time.

It should be said that this is definitely good news, and everyone knows that the Central Committee is the core power organ of the party, as long as you become a member of the Central Committee. It can almost be said that he has jumped to the top of the party's power. Everyone in the mixed political arena is for this, and now there is an opportunity to realize their wishes in advance, so why should they oppose it?

Most of the bigwigs at the meeting welcomed the matter, but some of them were very unhappy with it. For example, Kamenev and Zinoviev, who have strong feelings of resistance to this, are clearly opposed.

"I'm against this proposal!"

The last time it was Kamenev who played as a striker, this time it was Zinoviev's turn to charge, while the big guys were whispering. He was the first to jump out.

"Comrade Lenin, I remember that you made it very clear in your April theses after your return to China that you warned us against other political forces and against coalition with other parties. It is necessary to carry out the revolutionary struggle independently! I still remember the scene of you talking at that time, how come it has only been two months. All of a sudden, you forget about it all! I can't figure it out! ”

Lenin glanced at Zinoviev. Xindao: It's not that you kid can't figure it out, but you're deliberately here to find fault, to pick thorns, and to destroy the current good situation. Count on attacking me with my words, hum, you're daydreaming!

Lenin took a breath and calmly explained: "Comrade Gregory, there is nothing that cannot be figured out. The reason is very simple: when I first returned to China in April, in the face of the achievements of the February Revolution, many comrades thought that they could sit back and relax and that there was no need to continue the revolution. Now, after more than two months of fermentation, the masses and revolutionaries have gradually come to a clear understanding of the reality and have come to the conclusion that it is very necessary to continue the history of the revolutionary struggle. At this time, why should we be gloriously isolated? Why not unite all the comrades who can be united? ”

After a pause, seeing that Zinoviev seemed to want to argue, Lenin continued: "This does not contradict or contradict the opinion of my predecessors at all. Previously, I suggested that the comrades should not contact other parties, because I was afraid that if the comrades did not take a firm stand, they would be influenced by some negative ideas of compromise and surrender. And now we are in contact with parties that are actively inclined to the revolution, and our two sides are almost identical. In this case, why not unite? ”

Zinoviev was speechless, and in fact he knew very well that Lenin was indeed right, and that the Zon-Wing faction united with Trotsky could indeed increase the strength of the Bolsheviks. The problem is that uniting Trotsky is good for the party, but not necessarily for him.

Yes, Zinoviev thought very well that the merger of the district coalition into the Bolsheviks would mean a great reshuffle of power, and the arrival of the district coalition faction would inevitably take away a part of the power, and it might also benefit a part of the party, but he would definitely not be among the people who benefited. With his current relationship with Lenin, would the Mentor give him a position as a member of the Central Committee?

Zinoviev thought very clearly, if he was still a member of the Central Committee, the impact of the merger on him would not be too great, even if he lost some power, the impact would not be too great. However, what is very fatal now is that he was not elected as a member of the Central Committee at the previous national congress, and he was not even an alternate member, and he was already showing signs of marginalization among the Bolsheviks, and then he was hit by the merger of the district alliances, I am afraid that it would not only be marginalized, but also sit on the cold bench, right?

Both Zinoviev and Kamenev were a little frustrated with the present situation, how could Trotsky and his faction be allowed to further disperse the already small amount of power and influence in their hands. Isn't this tantamount to a death sentence for their political future? So they are bound to rebel.

In fact, Lenin was also worried that Trotsky's influence and ability were equal to his, and even if Trotsky came, he could only be second-in-command, but invisibly, it also greatly affected his authority in the party, and it was inevitable that his power would be divided.

If Lenin had been as small-bellied as Zinoviev and Kamenev, it would have been absolutely impossible for him to agree to this approach. But Lenin was not such a person, and in political foresight he was more than a cut above these two. He understood that in the current situation, if the Bolsheviks wanted to become bigger and stronger, they would inevitably unite and unite a group of people, and they would inevitably divide out some of their vested interests.

But Lenin knew that it was worth it, and that although some of the benefits were now divided, in the long run, there would be greater gains. Is it a small belly chicken intestine to worry about the little profits in front of you, or is it generous to share a part of the benefits as an investment to obtain greater benefits?

Lenin, as a statesman, can still calculate this account, but unfortunately, Kamenev and Zinoviev are not politicians, they can only see a small piece under their nose ............)
