135 The Dust Settles (Part II)

"Why don't you kill Stalin?" Yakov asked, confused.

Yes, in the opinion of Yakov and others, this time the Stalin clique was completely planted, and it was not good to take this opportunity to uproot it, and then divide the corpses of the five horses and everyone to their heart's content? And as for Stalin's behavior this time, not to mention the artillery execution, five minutes of shooting is enough, right? Why let Stalin go so easily?

"Political struggle is not as simple as killing people and cutting off heads, it is simple to destroy a person's body, but it is difficult to completely erase the traces left by it." Li Xiaofeng replied calmly, "Now we can indeed drag Stalin and his henchmen out and kill them all, it's very simple, it's just a matter of one sentence." ”

After a pause, Li Xiaofeng looked at Yakov and Wufeng Yevich, who had just arrived in Moscow, and said in a very old-fashioned manner: "But what good is this? Are there more benefits than the thrill of revenge? ”

Yakov and Kirikazeevich looked at each other, and although they didn't speak, anyone could tell that they weren't convinced.

So Li Xiaofeng continued: "Stalin has fallen, and if his henchmen were to be cleaned up by the simplest, most direct and neat means, then I am afraid that a third of the members of the Central Committee would have to be removed. This is only the Central Committee, and the grassroots Party organizations that support these Central Committee members will inevitably have to be cleaned up. To put it bluntly, it will implicate more than a dozen or even millions of party members. Kill all of them? Or are they all exiled? ”

Yakov and Kirikazeevich stopped talking, because they knew very well that the Big Three were not screaming. Since 1935. The Communist Party of Brazzaville has close ties with the Big Three. Either the Trotskyists, or the people of Stalin and Sverdlov. A thorough purge of Stalin's power would inevitably turn into another purge.

Note that it was 1939, not 1934, and when Stalin purgeed in 1939, he also found that the situation was wrong, the party organization and the army were severely damaged, and the beating of a single Finland almost lost its old face. From that year onwards, rehabilitation began. A number of middle and junior commanders were released, but that's it, at the outbreak of the Great Patriotic War, the Red Army's appearance was miserable, Yan zhòng lacked qualified officers, and the tactics were extremely rigid. This has caused unprecedented losses!

If the purge had been carried out in 1939 and Stalin's forces had been severely attacked, it would have been inevitable that the grassroots party organizations and the army would have suffered a severe blow, and doing so at a time when the great war was imminent would be tantamount to death. Maybe it's even uglier than dying in history!

On this point, Li Xiaofeng could not agree to the complete liquidation of the Stalin clique, and secondly. Who has the greatest benefit from the liquidation of the Stalin clique at this time? Naturally, it was the victim Trotsky, who defeated Stalin and completely liquidated him, that is, to fully affirm the correctness of Trotsky, that is, to let the indulgent Trotskyists grow at will!

What, don't believe? Note that both the Stalin clique and the Sverdlov clique had a unified label before they split up - Leninists! All of them were Lenin's political forces. Only when the Stalin clique and the Sverdlov clique are united, the strength is maximum, and the Trotskyists can be firmly suppressed.

To completely bring down Stalin's faction now is to cut off a leg of the original Leninists! Did the lame Leninites do the Trotskyists? I'm afraid it's dangerous!

And it is precisely because the Stalin clique and the Sverdlov clique are of the same origin that they cannot be lightly knifed, although the two cliques are separated, but there are still inextricable links between them.

Trotsky was probably happiest to completely destroy Stalin's power, when he was the real boss, and what about Sverdlov? What are the benefits?

Engaging in political struggle is not a matter of fighting and killing, still less can we act rashly. The essence of the struggle lies in uniting the forces that can be united to strike at the enemy. What good is it to stab Stalin's men and horses but to make people feel that Sverdlov is ruthless and unjust, and that it will weaken the strength of the Leninists?

Li Xiaofeng believed that a considerable number of those left behind by Stalin could be united, and this was the time when they were most frightened, and it was much more useful to pull them than to stab them. If this part of the forces can be integrated, Sverdlov can be regarded as reorganizing the Leninists after Lenin's retirement, and finally uniting the Leninists into a whole again.

On the contrary, raising a butcher's knife to kill indiscriminately seems to be very pleasant, but in fact it is self-destructive. Look at what Khrushchev that idiot did. It seems to be awesome to completely stink and negate Stalin, but in fact it is to dig up its own corners and offend a large number of old revolutionaries. When the time came, the old men overturned him again and taught him how to behave.

Engaging in politics is not a happy enmity, not to mention that the so-called heroes on the rivers and lakes have a bad ending, and politics is a game of pursuing interests, and interests come first. As the only representative of the Leninists in the DPRK, Sverdlov must not be happy with enmity, but must weigh the interests of all sides and unite forces that can be united to safeguard the interests of the Leninists as a whole.

In the previous Politburo meeting, why did Lenin leave in a hurry, and was the mentor more sad than dead, or was it really high-spirited? I'm afraid not, this is not the first time that Lenin has been betrayed by his students, and Kamenev and Zinoviev have already made the tutors resistant enough.

What's more, Stalin's actions were not as sudden as those two strange ones, and on the way to Moscow, Lenin was mentally prepared enough. And the final result was not so bad, Stalin's conspiracy was basically crushed, and there were no heavy losses in the absolute sense of the word for the party, the state and the Leninists, what is unacceptable?

As for the High Wind Bright Festival? The mentor does have the essence of high wind and bright festival, but if the Lenin faction he single-handedly built is facing an existential threat and is likely to fall apart and collapse, do you think Lenin will play any high wind and bright festival?

I'm afraid from the moment he arrived in Moscow. is ready to regain control of the overall situation and clean up this mess. It's just that Sverdlov's choice discouraged him from thinking about it.

Why? Sverdlov's attitude at the Politburo meeting was unambiguous. The problems of Stalin and others need to be liquidated. It is necessary to give an explanation, but it is necessary to take care of the overall situation first, not to cut off the head with a casual swing of a knife. It is not difficult to see from his statement that Xiao Si wants to control the scale of the liquidation, except for the first evil and those stalwarts elements, nothing else. In other words, Xiao Si is the greatest Cheng dù to preserve the political legacy left by Lenin.

Even if the mentor himself is in charge of the overall situation on stage, the final result is nothing more than that, right? Since there are no problems with Sverdlov's choice, it has been done very well. So why did Lenin stay?

Taking advantage of this opportunity, which was not an opportunity, gave Sverdlov the green light to reunite, which for the Leninists might have turned bad into good. And he is all high-spirited on his side, Trotsky can't always have a small belly, he must always give Lenin a little face, can't do things to the end, right?

Of course, if Trotsky really did not give face, Lenin would not have been polite, he did not owe Trotsky anything. On the contrary, it was Trotsky who owed him a favor, if Trotsky dared to turn his face and deny people. Then he, the great mentor, naturally has to stand up and support Sverdlov and teach Lao Tuo how to be a man.

In fact, as you can see, Trotsky was very clever and knew what could only be done, and if he dared to try to be poor, then Lenin would dare to break the net. To tell the truth, he was really not Lenin's opponent, and even without Stalin and Kalinin, the Leninists still had a huge advantage in the Politburo and the Central Committee, and he had no chance of winning at all.

In any case, Lenin will give him an explanation this time, and the power of the Trotskyists will definitely grow, and with Trotsky's pride, he may feel that even Stalin and Sverdlov have survived together, and Sverdlov alone will not be able to do it alone?

Seeing that there is no, this is the government, there is exchange and compromise, and in the end, everyone is happy to take what they need. The kind of method of slashing hands and stomping feet with a knife that is stronger than a jet plane is called not paying attention. Of course, this kind of unparticular people are not nothing, the most recent is steel, at this time and the ending in history everyone has seen, and a little closer is the Taizu of this dynasty, and finally gave a three-seven open, but the route was basically denied.

This fully shows that when it is time to move forward, stride forward in stride, and when it is time to take a roundabout, do not be reckless, and when it is time to retreat, do not be strong, and the human body and bones cannot withstand the crushing of the general trend of history several times.

After Li Xiaofeng's explanation, although Yakov and Wufeng Yevich did not fully understand the practice of not cutting the grass and eradicating the roots, they were at least able to accept it. And this is the shortcoming of the Russian politicians, they are more inclined to use simple and direct means to solve the problem, and these crude methods, to be honest, the effect may be at the time or for a while, but if you do it for a long time, sooner or later something big will happen!

You don't see that from the beginning of the collapse of Tsarist Russia, Russia began to disintegrate, fortunately, Lenin and Stalin came out in the middle, and they hung their lives and counterattacked, but the polar bear that had no improvement soon fell, and it was almost a five-horse corpse. After that, under Yeltsin's policy of death, in fact, Russia is likely to face a new round of disintegration, but fortunately, Putin won the second Chechen war and gritted his teeth again.

Of course, this has nothing to do with the book, back to the story itself. The triumvirate turned into a double car, and the Leninists and Trotskyists divided the final victory and defeat in this great patriotic war. In the first round, Trotsky attacked, Sverdlov defended. The time and place of the confrontation was the plenary session of the Central Committee on the morning of September 4.

Trotsky made a long speech at the conference, in which he comprehensively criticized Stalin's line and nailed Stalin to the pillar of shame in history with the fiercest firepower. Judging from his menacing condition, there seems to be no meaning to save face and show mercy.

Could it be that Trotsky violated his tacit understanding with Lenin?

No, since Trotsky had promised Lenin, he would not have reversed himself. What he is doing now is not a violation of the tacit agreement with Lenin. Stalin and his core henchmen must be liquidated! There are no conditions for this, not even Sverdlov would object.

It's just that Trotsky wanted to strike a little wider, after all, the more people who were swept down, the more places would be vacated. Even if he can't grab it all. But every extra grab is earned.

The same. All Sverdlov has to do is how to control the breadth of this blow, who must get out of the way, and who can stay, all of which need to be done.

It was a tug-of-war, in which Trotsky and Sverdlov fought to the death for every seat on the Central Committee, and it was not until three days later that a conclusion was reached. The ratio of strength between the Trotskyists and the Leninists has changed from 3.5 to 6.5 to 4.3 to 5.7. As a result of the war, the power of the Trotskyists increased by 8 percentage points. It was also the time after 1918 when the Trotskyists and Leninists were closest in strength.

It seems that Sverdlov suffered a crushing defeat and was defeated by the old To, but this is not the case, and Sverdlov, under such hasty and hasty integration, was still able to maintain the advantage of the Leninists, although this advantage was much weaker than before, but the advantage was an advantage.

And please note that this adjustment was only temporary, and in March 1940 there was a new adjustment. There is still nearly half a year left for Sverdlov to integrate, and at least the status quo can be maintained in the future.

And not just in the Central Committee. In the Politburo, Sverdlov also narrowly maintained a certain advantage. Because Stalin and Kalinin were forced to "retire and recuperate", and Ordzhonikidze committed suicide, the Politburo had to be replenished with fresh blood.

This time, the vacancies left by Stalin and Kalinin were filled by Radek and Li Xiaofeng, respectively, and by the way, Lunacharsky was also admitted to the Politburo as an alternate. Among them, Trotsky and Sverdlov were a 3-3 draw. Generally speaking, it was Frunze, who represented Lenin, and Dzerzhinsky, who was always neutral, who decided the direction of the Politburo.

Of course, everyone can see that this time Frunze will probably not be on Trotsky's side, and he will be more inclined to Xiao Si. However, this tendency is not unreserved, after all, Lenin is not the kind of person who does not know right and wrong and ignores the overall situation, at least he will not openly help Xiao Si suppress Lao Tuo.

Objectively speaking, the Politburo at this time can be regarded as the most balanced session of power. Four years after Lenin's retirement, his mentor finally fulfilled this wish.

Following the reshuffling of the Politburo and the Central Committee, the departments directly under the Party Central Committee, the Central Military Commission, and the People's Commissariat will inevitably also be readjusted. Trotsky, while retaining the chairmanship of the Council of People's Commissars, took over the post of general secretary of the party left by Stalin. Xiao Si is still the vice chairman of the People's Commissariat and the vice chairman of the Military Commission. Tukhachevsky turned over and reinstated himself as a member of the Military Commissar and the People's Commissar of Defense, but unfortunately the post of deputy chief of the General Staff left by Voroshilov was not available to him, and Triandafilov took the post with the support of Xiao Si and Li Xiaofeng. As for a certain immortal, in addition to being promoted to the rank of Grand Elder, he also took over Molotov's post as head of the Central Organization Department by accident. In addition, Ruzutak gloriously became the nominal head of state of the USSR - Chairman of the Supreme Presidium of the Soviets.

In general, both the Trotskyists and the Petit clique are happy, and it is not too surprising that at the new congress next year, there will not be much change in power, at best, fine-tuning, and this power composition will accompany the Soviet Union in the fight of the entire Great Patriotic War.

The adjustment of power in the Soviet Union inevitably also affected the international situation, and at one time, Britain, France, the United States, Germany, Italy, and Japan paid close attention to the political changes in the Soviet Union, and also had the idea of fishing in troubled waters, but this time the adjustment was too sudden, leaving them too little time to react, and almost no decent results were achieved.

By the time the Soviet Union's adjustments were basically in place, West Poland was already struggling to survive, and its demise was only a matter of time. In front of the mustache will be a multiple-choice question, is it east? Or to the west?

To be honest, the mustache was a bit of a dilemma, at this time Britain and France had declared war on Germany, and according to his normal plan, he should have turned around and clicked Britain and France. But what made him troublesome was that the Soviet Union actually denied the "Non-Aggression Pact", and without this pact at the bottom, the mustache really didn't dare to worry about boldly cleaning up Britain and France, what if half of the Russians were killed?

To be honest, Germany had a really painful start at this time, just cleaning up a chicken-like West Poland, and then I didn't know how to do it. And it can't be stopped, because as soon as it stops, if Britain, France and the Soviet Union discuss and start together, won't it become a two-front battle again?

Therefore, at this critical juncture, the Germans had to temporarily shift their focus to the diplomatic front, hoping to open up the situation with diplomacy. According to the mustache's plan, on the one hand, it is necessary to continue to fool Britain and France and let them maintain the status quo, and even more so, to fully do the work of the Soviet Union and strive to reach a "non-aggression pact" before they can confidently and boldly KO Britain and France.

However, in Germany, there was still controversy about the established policy of the mustache, for example, the generals of the Wehrmacht system were very worried about being enemies of Britain and France, and in their opinion, Germany was inferior to Britain and France in both military and economic strength, and a war against Britain and France would mean ruin. If they were given a choice, it would be better to bully the Soviet Union than to follow the British and French assumptions. For a time, the Germans themselves were entangled!

"By order of the Politburo, the Military Commissar has instructed the Baltic Front, the Kiev Military District, the Minsk Military District to enter a state of emergency. At the same time, the East Prussian People's Republic and the Polish People's Republic were notified to increase vigilance. If the Germans continue to advance eastward, they will suffer a head-on blow from our army! ”

The Politburo was not satisfied with Yegorov's report, because the German army had previously shown that its combat effectiveness was quite strong, and the army of Western Poland was not a piece of paper, but it was broken by it. At this time, the domestic political turmoil has not subsided, and the Minsk Military District, which is most deeply affected by this turmoil, is probably in chaos. (To be continued......)
