It's not that Kuibyshev can't have his own interests, Li Xiaofeng hasn't been domineering to this point, it's a matter of course for the eldest brother to eat meat and the younger brother to drink soup. Isn't everyone out to mix just to live better?

All in all, it is unpopular to eat alone in any field, especially in politics, if you can't bring benefits to your younger brother, then no one will mess with you. Li Xiaofeng understands this truth, so naturally he will not grab food with his younger brother. But he also can't allow his younger brother to risk his interests for his own benefit!

Why? This is going to start with the construction of the fog wind jevic, it seems that the construction of the fog wind jevic is riding the wall is unreliable at both ends, but a little analysis can know that only the construction yì he gave is the most reliable.

It is not possible to fully tolerate Sverdlov, then Li Xiaofeng will really become Xiao Si's dog; And like Gubyshevti yì's simple self-reliance, it is not possible to fight against Xiao Si.

The reason is very simple, in any case, the core leader recognized within the Leninists is Sverdlov, and no matter how strong the hard power in Li Xiaofeng's hands is, Xiao Si is the recognized legal successor of Lenin and represents the overall interests of the Leninists.

When there is a general consensus within the faction, a sudden rebellion is probably something that other bigwigs within the faction do not want to see and are more disgusted with. The present situation is that, after the turmoil of Stalin, the advantage of the Leninists over the Trotskyists has actually shrunk, and no matter how bleak the future of the Trotskyists may be, a considerable number of bigwigs have developed a sense of crisis.

They generally hope for a leader who will unite the whole faction and reunite the faction as Lenin did. Temporarily. I'm afraid Sverdlov will be able to do the job. Because Li Xiaofeng's prestige and qualifications are still lower than Xiao Si.

In this case, regardless of turning his face with Xiao Si, I am afraid that it will only dissatisfy the other bigwigs within the faction, even if Li Xiaofeng has a gun as a backing, it is not as much as a family member, not to mention that Lenin is not dead! I'm afraid the mentor won't support Li Xiaofeng to do this.

And this is also the key to Sverdlov's courage to suppress Li Xiaofeng, he has an absolute advantage in terms of reputation, and even Ruzutak is on his side. It's too normal to beat Li Xiaofeng.

For Li Xiaofeng, there are quite few choices, neither can he completely turn his face, nor can he not fight back against Xiao Si's suppression, how to fight back in a reasonable, well-founded and restrained manner, this degree must be very accurate. Anyway, Kuibyshev's method of flipping the table will definitely not work, it is tearing the face, it is a fish dead and the net is broken, and the impact is difficult to estimate.

Although the foggy wind jevic did not say how to fight back, he still grasped this degree. belongs to the sincere plan for Li Xiaofeng, just for this attitude, you have to evaluate it as excellent, right?

Of course. What Li Xiaofeng wants is actually attitude, as for how to fight back against Xiao Si, he already has an overall plan. He had no advantage in the Politburo, but in the Military Commission he had an almost one-sided advantage, especially with the crushing defeat of Tukhachevsky's two counterattacks, and his military advantage was further increased.

On September 15, at a regular meeting of the Central Military Commission, Li Xiaofeng suddenly opened fire on Yakir: "Since June, a series of operations in the Moscow Central Military District have all ended in failure without exception, and our army has suffered heavy losses, and the relevant leading cadres must be held accountable for this. Some more capable comrades must be allowed to save the situation, and I think it is necessary to make a major adjustment to the Moscow Central Military District! ”

As soon as these words came out, Tukhachevsky and Sverdlov's faces were very ugly, it was obvious that this was what Li Xiaofeng meant to settle accounts, and the knife had already rested on Yakil's throat, and the next thing was almost a matter of bloodletting.

Sverdlov immediately objected: "Now that the situation on the front line has just stabilized a little, our main forces will be out of the danger of annihilation, and it is too hasty to make adjustments at this time." What if chaos is caused and the enemy takes advantage of the situation to catch up? ”

Li Xiaofeng was not polite, and immediately retorted: "The previous two large-scale operations have proved that with the leadership configuration of the Moscow Central Military District, it is not enough to resist the German attack. Note that this was the result of the battle when the balance of forces between the two sides was almost the same. Now that our army is already at a disadvantage, and the strategic initiative is completely in the hands of the enemy, how can the leadership of the Central Military District of Moscow, which is at an absolute disadvantage, turn the tables in an unfavorable situation? It seems to me that the continuation of the command of the next battle will still be a fiasco. Now is the time to make a change! ”

Sverdlov and Tukhachevsky also tried to block it, but Li Xiaofeng ignored the request for a vote on his proposal by the Military Commission, which was also quite interesting, Tukhachevsky, Sverdlov, Gamarnik, and Frunze objected, while Li Xiaofeng, Ubolevich, Triandafilov, Arksnis, and Orlov agreed, and the rest abstained.

Obviously, Li Xiaofeng's mention of yì was cleared, and Yaquil's dismissal was a sure thing. As for who to replace Yaquil, it became the focus of the next debate. According to Tukhachevsky and Xiaosi's suggestion, Yakir switched hands with Yegorov and made Khalepsky the chief of staff and political commissar of the Central Military District in Moscow.

How could Li Xiaofeng agree, get rid of a Yaquir, and you will replace it with Halipsky, this is to tease Lao Tzu?

"Comrade Yegorov and Comrade Khalep are not suitable," Li Xiaofeng bluntly objected, and put forward his preferred candidate: "I think that Comrade Triandafilov, who has been the deputy chief of the General Staff, is very suitable to temporarily take up this position, he is an expert in strategy and tactics, and he gave Comrade Shaposhnikov a lot of help in the previous defense of Kiev, and was welcomed by the Ukrainian Front from top to bottom." It would be ideal for him to carry this burden! ”

However, Tukhachevsky expressed his resolute opposition, and the reason was very simple: if Triandafilov, who was not very good with him, became the commander of the Central Military District in Moscow, then he would not be able to overstep his command as smoothly as he had been in the previous battles on the Western Front. Trian Dafilov would never let him cross the Moscow Central Military District to control the troops below.

Speaking of which. In the previous reform of the military system. Tukhachevsky also took great pains. The Baltic Special Military District, the Leningrad Military District, the Moscow Military District, the Minsk Military District and the Kiev Special Military District were dismantled, and they were integrated into a large military district, and then their own little partner Yakir was assigned to be the commander. Its intention is quite clear, that is, to take control of the entire Western Front in one fell swoop and prevent the former commanders of small military districts from disobeying orders.

There are advantages to this, Yakir is indeed under unified command, and it can be said that all the armed forces of the entire Western Front are all in his pocket, and his power is unimaginable. But. The problem is also very prominent, as the commander-in-chief of the Western Front troops, Yakir has too many troops to command, the long front and millions of troops are all under his control, and there are quite a lot of problems in all aspects. Moreover, his functions here overlapped with those of the General Staff, and many times, Yakir became a mouthpiece, in fact, he was just Tukhachevsky's spokesman.

The situation was quite bad, and Yakir was not able to give feedback to Tukhachevsky, or rather, the opinions of his subordinates. It was useless to give feedback, Tukhachevsky did not listen. And he could not refuse Tukhachevsky's unreasonable demands, which directly led to the tragedy of the Salefa River operation.

Anyway, the commanders of several fronts could no longer tolerate Yakil's inaction and strongly demanded either a change of commander, or the dismantling of the Moscow Central Military District again, because this freak did not help at all to win the war.

I am afraid that it is impossible to split the large military region, how can it be so easy to revise the matter agreed by the Politburo and the military commission, and there is no time to change it. Therefore, Li Xiaofeng thought that he could only replace Yakir and balance the problem of the General Staff's indiscriminate interference in front-line command with a person who would not respond to Tukhachevsky's needs.

In fact, all the problems lie in the General Staff, after Tukhachevsky came to power for the second time, his desire to control is skyrocketing, and he always wants to personally lead a qiē, but this is not the function of the General Staff, is it? Under the framework of the Central Military Commission's responsibility for the issue of military work throughout the country, the General Staff Headquarters can only be a staff officer and executive organ, and it does not have the power to make decisions, still less the power to interfere in the command of specific troops.

And now, Tukhachevsky has to take away the decision-making power of some of the military commissions upwards, and also take away the command of the troops downwards. It was Trotsky's full support for him, and Sverdlov's choice of peace with the mud, that Tukhachevsky became a freak and no one could check him.

And now, Li Xiaofeng wants to change this mistake, to bring it back to normal, if Tukhachevsky does not cooperate, if Trotsky and Sverdlov still oppose it, then he does not mind simply overturning Tukhachevsky to the ground and replacing him with the chief of the General Staff.

Not to mention, he has reached an agreement with the commanders of all armies on the Western Front, and has the absolute support of the Air Force, and the General Political Department and the General Armament Department are still his own people, so in this case, it is not difficult to overthrow Tukhachevsky. The reason why they did not choose to overturn it was only to save the face of Trotsky and Sverdlov and to avoid a full-scale outbreak of contradictions.

After a quarrel, Tukhachevsky was defeated, and Yakir was relieved of his post as commander of the Central Military District in Moscow and returned to the army operations department under the General Staff as head of the army. Speaking from the heart, this Army Operations Department really doesn't mean anything, why do you say that?

This is because the Army Operations Department is originally a product of balancing the interests of the three services, and in the case of Tukhachevsky, who is powerful and has great influence in the army, it is actually equivalent to the role of the Army Command, which is only responsible for administrative work, and even worse than the heads of the Naval Operations Department and the Air Force Operations Department.

Whoever let him have a Tukhachevsky above, this benevolent brother as chief of the General Staff, took away most of the functions of the Army Operations Department in one hand, and in fact Yakir had nothing to do.

I have to say that this is another bad debt, because according to the original intention of setting up the operations departments of the three services in those years, in fact, the three operations chiefs are in charge of their own shares, and the army operations department is equivalent to the army general staff, the naval operations department is equivalent to the navy general staff, and the air force is the same. Then these three "chiefs of the general staff" are then responsible to the real chiefs of the general staff of the three services.

In other words, Tukhachevsky's current position is actually a position for coordinating the overall situation and coordinating and communicating the contradictions and opinions of the three armed services. What he needs to do is not to manage everything, but to give full play to the ability and subjective initiative of the three operational chiefs. Let them handle most of the issues. And he himself is just doing the work of judging and refereeing.

It's a pity. Tukhachevsky was too strong, he had to take care of everything, and he wanted to manage everything, and he really treated those three war chiefs as marionettes. If you run into a war minister like Yakil, it's better to say, good brother, who is with whom. But not all the chiefs of operations are good friends with Tukhachevsky, such as Arksnis and Orlov.

These two represented the interests of the Air Force and the Navy, and they were originally at odds with the Continental Armyist Tukhachevsky, and they had been in trouble since the early thirties. Today Tukhachevsky is even stronger and rampant than it was then. Naturally, it will cause a high backlash from Arksnis and Orlov. When Tukhachevsky reached out to the Navy and Air Force Operations, the two would flatly pick up broadswords and axes and chop his claws directly.

Let's put it this way, the chief of army operations is just an ornament, and unless Tukhachevsky steps down, there will definitely be no future.

It's not just the Chief of Army Operations who is an ornament, the Deputy Chief of the General Staff is also a furnishing here in Tukhachevsky, otherwise Trian Dafilov would have been rushed to Kyiv for its inspection? It is even quite possible that in Tukhachevsky's view, as the People's Commissar of Defense and the chief of the General Staff of the three services, he should take care of the military work alone, and other laymen should not guide the insiders. Even he felt that there was no need to save the military commission at all. It's useless!

It can only be said that Tukhachevsky's political sensitivity is too low, and his political wisdom is too little. Why did you set up the Military Commission? Very simple. That is to ensure that the party commands the gun. The reason is the same as that in Western countries, defense ministers are generally held by civilian personnel, and it is impossible for the military to dominate the power of one family, let alone let one person dominate all military work.

In other words, Tukhachevsky has not been able to put himself in the right position, he always imagines himself as the chief of the general staff as the commander-in-chief of the three armed services, but in fact he is not the commander-in-chief of the three armed forces, but serves as a staff member and handles practical work for the commander-in-chief of the three armed forces (military commission). He can't dominate a qiē, but it is the party behind the Military Commission that can dominate a qiē!

Officially, because he couldn't recognize this, he never had a way to enter the working state correctly, he always wanted to take care of everything, and he thought that everything was in his hands, and the result was naturally only one - he couldn't manage anything.

Even when his style and way of working reached a peak, most people were reluctant to listen to his orders, and now it is such a state.

When Triandafilov replaced Yaquir, Tukhachevsky's hand that was reaching directly for the troops on the Western Front was cut off, and Tukhachevsky soon discovered that Triandafilov was so annoying.

In the past, he could dictate to the troops of the Western Front under the banner of the General Staff, but as soon as Terry Andafilov took office, he stopped listening to him, is the Chief of the General Staff very big? It's not that Lao Tzu hasn't been in the General Staff, and Lao Tzu is also a member of the Military Commission. What decisions the Military Commission made, the hand of the General Staff could only reach out, Terry Andafilov was counted.

For example, Tukhachevsky, in the name of the Chief of the General Staff, demanded that Lukin's Sixteenth Army continue to hold on to Brest and that the front line be maintained on the Brest line.

But Trian Dafilov flatly refused: "The order of the Military Commissar is to maintain the front on the Minsk-Kiev front, and Brister is not obliged to defend it. Besides, the losses of the 16th Army have already been very large, and it has already completed its tasks brilliantly, and it can completely retreat! ”

Soon the 16th Army, which had blocked Guderian's second tank group with a reinforced army for half a month, and the 16th Army, which brilliantly covered the retreat of the main forces, retreated under the leadership of Lukin, taking Tukhachevsky's instructions as air. Upon learning of the news, Tukhachevsky was furious and threatened to punish Triandafilov, Shaposhnikov and Lukin.

However, as soon as he complained to the Military Commission, he was mercilessly ridiculed by Li Xiaofeng: "The Military Commission has long decided to withdraw the main forces to the Minsk-Kiev line, who gave you the order to hold Brest?" Are you taking the orders of the military commission as the wind in your ears? Or are you ready to openly set up another mountain? ”

From that moment on, Tukhachevsky understood that from then on, in the name of the General Staff, he would never think about it again. In this regard, he complained: "I, the chief of the General Staff, have become a big nanny, and I can only deal with some trivial things every day, which is simply a joke!" ”

Tukhachevsky felt uncomfortable, but the various armies and group armies under the Moscow Central Military District felt very happy, and no one would ever point fingers at them again, and there was no need to worry that they would not know that the troops were transferred by the General Staff, let alone that the General Staff would be scolded by phone calls or telegrams from several levels. They can finally command their troops to fight in a serious manner, instead of being puppets casually manipulated by Tukhachevsky.

In the words of Shaposhnikov: "The shackles have been lifted, and the damned Emperor Taishang has finally gotten out!" (To be continued......)
