According to Sverdlov, Dembinko does have to deal with it, but it doesn't need to be handled so hard. It is enough to remove this goods, or lock them up for a month or two. What's the good of shooting this idiot, you have to make the city stormy?

It should be said that Xiao Si's opinion has some truth, and the mentor was indeed confused by that strange thing, and he made a radical move in anger. And now, with Colontai making such a fuss, things are a little bit bad!

Lenin pondered for a moment and asked, "Then how do you think we can end this turmoil?" ”

It's not easy to answer this question from the mentor, if it was at the beginning, follow Xiao Si's handling advice, and the matter would be eliminated. But now there has been a relatively big storm and attracted widespread attention, how can this end?

But Xiao Si really has a way, he thought for a while and said: "I think it can be done, keep the verdict of the Supreme Revolutionary Military Tribunal unchanged, but pardon Debinko in the name of the Soviets, and give him a chance to make meritorious contributions......

I have to say that Xiao Si's trick is really wonderful. The tutor felt that it was not good for two reasons, the first is what Debinko did, the impact was too bad, and if you don't give this product a little color, it will inevitably be imitated by the people below. Everyone learns from Decbinko, where is the authority of the central government? In other words, it is difficult to convince the public without dealing with Debinko!

The second reason is that there is a problem of face, things are in trouble, and the maintenance of the original verdict is likely to cause a storm. But how embarrassing it would be to make the central government give in? Isn't it a joke that the two godmen, the Mentor and Trotsky, can't even solve a mere Dembinko!

And now. Sverdlov's idea. These two aspects are taken into account at the same time. The original verdict remained unchanged, which upheld the authority of the Central Committee, but at the same time used the Soviets to give Derbinko a step down, which means that you kid told your daughter-in-law to stop a little, don't toss. The central government doesn't plan to take your life, you hurry up and keep a low profile!

It's a way to get the best of both worlds. It should be said that Lenin could accept it, and Delbinko and Koluntai would not have an opinion. Everyone's happy! But the problem is with the villain, Stalin is present, and this is not what he wants!

What Stalin wanted, if at first he just wanted to absolve Voroshilov of responsibility and keep control of the Red Tenth Army. But as Lenin was troubled by the behavior of the sailors, and as the momentum grew, he began to use his brain.

Steel began to feel that this was a possibility - if Debinko and Korentai continued to be unrelenting, would the central government still budge? Looking at it now, this possibility is zài, if those two goods make a little more ferocious. If he is turned upside down, then the central government will definitely continue to make concessions.

How else can you give in? Very simple. Dybinko is naturally innocent, and if he is innocent, then Ubolevich must be guilty. Maybe you can get rid of Ubolevich, so does Voroshilov have another chance?

Stalin consulted Mikoyan, who agreed with his analysis and felt that it would be worth trying. Anyway, it was Dembinko and Kolentai who came out in the blue, and even if something happened, they were unlucky and could not hurt Stalin in the slightest. Why not try a trade with no risk at all?

"You are so naïve, how can you agree to such conditions!" Skobelev was very enthusiastic about giving advice to Korentai again, "It seems that the Central Committee has made concessions, but in fact? This only shows one point, that is, the Central Committee also feels that the handling of Comrade Derbinko is not fair enough, so they are not confident enough! And this is a great opportunity! ”

Collentai said: "What chance?" ”

"Of course, it is a great opportunity for Comrade Derbinko to avenge his grievances!" Skobelev induced: "If you just agree to the conditions of the Central Committee, then there is only one result, even if Comrade Debinko is released, the life of the politician will inevitably be ended, and you will inevitably be implicated...... Think about it, is that a good deal? Why should innocent people pay for the mistakes of the central authorities! ”

Koluntai was a little moved and asked, "You mean?" ”

Skobelev agitated: "I think that the pressure should continue to be exerted to force the Central Committee to make greater concessions, that Ubolevich must be dealt with, and these old officers must not be allowed to do whatever they want!" ”

Although Skobelev said it wildly, Kolentai is not a novice who has no experience in political struggle, she is very keenly aware of the risks, and if she provokes the central government, the consequences will be unimaginable! At that time, not only Debinko would not come out, but even she would have to go in with her!

She asked cautiously, "Isn't that okay?" ”

Naturally, Skobelev also knew what Koluntai was worried about, and immediately said: "There is nothing bad about it, there are the vast number of comrades in the sailors to support you, what is there to fear?" Haven't you seen their energy? ”

This sentence completely moved Kollontai, who really didn't know that the energy of sailors was so great, just more than a thousand sailors surrounded the detention center of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and they could force the central government to make concessions. If more sailors are mobilized, maybe we can really go further?

And at this time, Collentai's imminent ambition also came alive, and after the signing of the Brest contract, she was very marginalized in the central government, whether it was the ambassador to Sweden or the People's Commissar of Social Welfare, she felt very nonsense. If you can take this opportunity to show your muscles and let the central government know that she is not easy to mess with, it seems very good!

Colontai was about to move, she didn't know that the sailor's energy was so great before, but now that she knew, why not use it! That's it!

"What?" Lenin soon received the news that left him dumbfounded, "Korentai refused!" What does she want to do? ”

Molotov, who came to report the situation, said hesitantly: "Comrade Koluntai demands that the Central Committee return Comrade Dembinko's innocence, and strongly demands that Comrade Ubolevich be dealt with......"

"Bastard!"

Lenin slapped the table angrily and roared: "This is an inch!" ”

No one dared to speak, the conference room was quiet, and most people were speechless about the strange Colontai. The central government has already given you face. It's a big deal. But you're trembling. What is this!

Dzerzhinsky was the first to say: "This kind of disorganized and undisciplined behavior can no longer be condoned!" What kind of behavior is this, it is simply a military coup! ”

Stalin saw that it was not good, and quickly interjected: "I think we should understand Comrade Kolentai's request, Comrade Debinko has indeed been treated unfairly, and it is normal for her to be angry......"

How could Trotsky accept this, and immediately sarcastically said: "You want to overturn the case for Decbinko, do you?" I must remind you that the situation reflected in Comrade Blyukhel's investigative report is already clear, and the Red Tenth Army and the Baltic Marine Division have been tossed into a mess by Voroshilov and Debinko. There is no combat power at all. Is this egregious behavior right? I doubt your starting point, Comrade Joseph, you are too protective of your men! If you want me to say, not only Dembinko and Voroshilov should be held responsible, but you, the general political commissar of the Southwestern Front, will not escape their responsibilities as well! That's how you grasp the ideological work! ”

"You ......"

Although Stalin was so angry that his beard was curled, in fact his heart was full of joy, and Trotsky was indeed fooled by a casual provocation, as Mikoyan had analyzed. If it were just a matter of facts, Lenin would not necessarily be biased towards Stalin. But as soon as Trotsky expands the area of attack, he will be attacked by Stalin as well. Then the Mentor will not be indifferent.

Lenin was certainly not indifferent, and he heard something different from Trotsky's words, that this kid seemed to have the intention of widening the striking surface and overturning a boatload of people with a stick. What do you mean by stabbing at Stalin? Let's borrow the topic to play!

Lenin would never allow Trotsky to play on the subject, especially if the object of the question was still his person, and this was even more intolerable. He knocked on the table and said, "Quiet! What we are discussing now is how to deal with the matter of Debinko and Koluntai, and the question of the Red Tenth Army and the Baltic Marine Division should be handled by the Political Department of the Southwestern Front and Comrade Frunze! Don't digress! ”

Trotsky sat down in a daze, he did have the intention of using the topic to play just now, and I am really sorry for the audience if he did not take out such a good opportunity to attack! Who would have thought that Lenin's reaction would be so fast, it was really boring!

"We can't agree to Colontai's coercion, we can't condone his arrogance!" Trotsky said viciously.

Stalin said-for-tat: "We should settle this problem peacefully, because it is not a problem in the first place." There is no need to undermine the unity of the party for the sake of a small thing! ”

Trotsky just wanted to say that this is a trivial matter, and she is all beating up and reversing black and white, and she is going to engage Lao Tzu's people, how can this be tolerated!

Seeing that these two goods were about to quarrel again, Lenin hurriedly interjected to change the subject: "Comrade Yakov, what do you think about this?" ”

Sverdlov thought for a moment and replied: "I am still inclined to a peaceful solution to the crisis!" But Comrade Koluntai's actions were indeed too much! Can't be indulged! ”

Lenin was a little embarrassed, and it is not difficult to hear what Xiao Si meant: If it can be resolved peacefully, it will be resolved peacefully, but even if it is resolved peacefully, it cannot be allowed to open his mouth with the Lion Kollentai.

But to be honest, these words are equivalent to not saying them. Lenin did not want to settle the crisis peacefully, but the problem is that the mad woman is completely unreasonable!

Stalin suddenly said at this time: "Why don't we send a comrade to mediate?" ”

Stalin's original intention was for him to mediate, so that he could better cooperate with Kollontai to blackmail the central government, and after the "peaceful" settlement of the crisis, he could also get a vote, which is a double win!

But how could Lenin have sent him, the mentor is not a fool, he can see Stalin's ambiguous attitude, and he knows why this guy has such a position. In any case, he would not have sent a party with an interest to mediate, not Stalin, not Trotsky! Not even the friends of these two goods! Not even Sverdlov to go!

The only people who are qualified to mediate can only be people who have no interests involved and have a good relationship with Colontai before. After thinking about it, Lenin found only one - Kalinin!

Kalinin is good! The most important thing is that everyone knows that this product is a good person in the party, and neither party can be offended, and either side can speak. Moreover, this goods happened to be the party secretary in Petrograd, and it would be best for him to mediate.

However, Kalinin was very unimpressed with this task, and even thought that the mentor had thrown him a hot potato. After receiving this task. He said to his wife: "Comrade Lenin is going to send me to the pit!" Isn't that obvious? I can see that Colontai is fearless. It is to blackmail the party. If she is satisfied, I will offend the Central Committee, but if the Central Committee is satisfied, the sailors of the Baltic Fleet will tear my skin! ”

However, even if Kalinin complained about this task, but the Mentor gave orders, he could only carry it out, otherwise without waiting for the Baltic Fleet sailors to tear his skin, the Mentor would let him roll up and get out!

“…… Comrade Kollontai. This is the message that the central government wants me to convey to you, and I personally think that your behavior is too outrageous and has caused an extremely bad impact......"

Before Kalinin could finish speaking, Korentai snorted coldly, yes, this mother is trembling more and more now. It's okay that Kalinin doesn't come, she is still a little nervous, and she doesn't know how the central government will clean her up.

But when Kalinin came, she was completely relieved. This shows that the central government has no intention of using force, and is very afraid of her power! Since the center is a paper tiger. So what's so scary. Hurry up and make a big fuss, and maximize the benefits is the best policy!

"The Central Committee must accede to my correct request! Ubolevich must be dealt with harshly! This is non-negotiable! ”

Kalinin sighed inwardly. Xin said: "I knew such a result. In line with the principle of doing his best to obey the destiny of heaven, he persuaded for the last time: "Comrade Koluntai, you are fooling ...... nonsense."

Colontai immediately blocked him back: "I know exactly what I'm doing!" The central government must accede to my reasonable request! ”

Kalinin shook his head, what else could he say, let's go!

"Does Colontai really say that?" Lenin said almost through gritted teeth.

Sverdlov could only smile bitterly and said: "Comrade Kalinin said so in the telegram, he said that Comrade Kollontai's feelings are very unstable and hysterical......"

Lenin was silent, and now he had to make a choice, whether to accept Kollontai's blackmail, or to suppress it harshly.

In this regard, there was another bloody storm in the Politburo. The Trotskyists, who supported the immediate suppression of Kollontai, and Stalin, who insisted on a negotiated settlement, quarreled. The meeting lasted from 1 p.m. to 8 p.m., and nothing came of it.

And at this time, something happened again on the Petrograd side, and angry sailors stormed the detention center of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, freed Debinko and seized Kalinin and Zinoviev, who had come to dissuade them.

"Is this going to turn the sky upside down!" Lenin slapped the table hard and said angrily: "It's just doing whatever you want!" ”

Stalin was the first to jump out and confidently said: "Comrade Lenin, now there is no need to hesitate. Taking advantage of the fact that it has not yet caused a bigger turmoil, we must immediately agree to Comrade Koluntai's conditions and put an end to the incident first, and the responsibility can be slowly investigated later! ”

Lenin hesitated a little and couldn't make up his mind, so he could only say: "Then Comrade Joseph's proposal, let's vote in the Politburo!" Raise your hand if you agree! ”

Stalin was the first to raise his hand, and Sverdlov, after some thought, sighed and raised his hand. As for Trotsky and Dzerzhinsky, it goes without saying that they were both resolutely opposed. For a while, everyone's eyes were focused on Lenin, which put a lot of pressure on the teacher!

At the same time, Petrograd. Li Xiaofeng had just stepped off the special train, and most of the supplies that Petrograd was supposed to send to Vyborg in the past two days had not arrived. At first, he thought there was a problem with the railway line, but when he called and asked, he learned that Petrograd was in chaos by Koluntai.

The Kronstadt sailors, with the connivance of this woman, occupied the railway station and the town hall, and also surrounded the Smolny Palace, and the normal order in Petrograd was completely paralyzed. There was even smashing, looting, and burning on some streets, and people were panicked for a while.

"Is this woman crazy?"

Li Xiaofeng, who witnessed this qiē, could not help but be a little annoyed in addition to being stunned, he was also the chairman of the Petrograd Oblast Cheka, responsible for maintaining the counter-revolution that had put this piece in order. And this woman is so nonsense, it's easy for him to sit on wax with him.

A certain immortal couldn't help but grit his teeth a little: "You want to save your husband, don't come to toss Lao Tzu, okay!" ”

Just when Li Xiaofeng was considering whether to let the Cheka go to the streets under martial law to maintain order, an even more shocking event happened - Kalinin and Zinoviev were detained by Koluntai!

Bastard!

Li Xiaofeng can no longer sit still, and if he doesn't take action, the consequences will be unimaginable.

"Give me a call from the Politburo!" He commanded.

But the operator told him: "Sorry, Comrade Andrei. The telephone and telegraph office was hit by the sailors and was paralyzed!

Li Xiaofeng slammed a spirit, the matter is getting bigger and bigger, and he can't sit back and watch anymore, he immediately made a phone call to the border police force: "Konstantin. Comrade Konstantinovich, you immediately concentrate your troops and go to the arsenal to take out weapons and ammunition...... Yes, something big is wrong, the sailors of the Baltic Fleet are rebelling! This is an unforgivable act of counter-revolution! I ask you to immediately lead your troops to protect the town hall, the Soviets, the Smolny Palace, and to retake the detention center of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Anyone who disobeys orders can be killed! ”

Putting down the phone, he again instructed Vasily: "Send someone to the state party committee and tell them that, in view of the current outbreak of the counter-revolutionary upheaval, I demand that martial law be imposed in Petrograd immediately until the situation improves!" (To be continued......)

PS: Bow and thank Juventus and Comrade Potato for the second kill!
