The reason why Kamenev sought Zinoviev's help was not temporary, thinking that when the two were in exile, they established a relatively close relationship, otherwise they would not be called Lenin's right-hand man by outsiders. He felt that with his relationship with Zinoviev, he would ask for help with his old face, and the other party would definitely not ignore it.

Will Zinoviev pull the old brother at a critical moment? The answer is of course not, don't look at the past, he can be called brothers and sisters with Kamenev, and the relationship is as good as a family, but it is at the low ebb of the revolution, engaging in underground activities, and everyone will be finished if they don't hold together and don't unite.

But what is the situation now, it has long been less hard, and now it is really the time to emerge and steal the limelight. Did you think of me as an old friend when you slapped Lenin in the face at the congress just now? Have you tipped me off?

Nima, there are benefits for you to enjoy, but now that you are suffering, you remember Lao Tzu, how can there be such a good thing. Besides, the two of us have the same status in the party and have similar qualifications, and when Lenin is gone, who is the boss? Now there is no distinction between the superior and the inferior, who will have the final say in the future?

You must know that you Kamenev was ahead of me back then

Ning sent you back to China to preside over the work of Pravda, and you happily took office, leaving my brother on the bench empty abroad for nearly ten years. In the past, you stood in front of Lao Tzu, and now it's time to change Lao Tzu to stand in front of you.

Moreover, take 10,000 steps back and say, Lao Tzu has just offended Lenin, and he dares to touch his head on this occasion? You must know that Comrade Lu Daoist has considerable influence among the members of the Central Committee, not to mention the removal of your editor-in-chief and the kicking of you out of the party is a matter of moving your mouth. What's more, the mentor and his old man have already promised Lao Tzu benefits, and now a proper deputy editor-in-chief can't run away, why should he wade into troubled waters with you!

Poor Kamenev never thought that Zinoviev was completely the same person as him, he was trying his best to get to the top, and that one was not idle, there were only so many positions at the top of the party, who would let whom? Without you Kamenev, it is equivalent to giving me Zinoviev one more chance!

So Zinoviev immediately straightened his attitude, not only did not "pull the brothers", but also dug a pit for Kamenev: "For Lev. I know Comrade Borisovich very well, and this comrade is very good at the level of research and has also contributed a lot to the revolution......"

Kamenev looked at Zinoviev like a pitiful bastard, and when he saw his old friend reaching out to "rescue" as expected, he almost burst into tears, this guy didn't think about it, no matter how much praise he said, no matter how nice he said, he was afraid of a "but", and soon Zinoviev's "but" came:

"But I never imagined that such an old comrade with outstanding merits, an old revolutionary, would go to the opposite side of the people, make low-level and naïve mistakes again and again, and constantly go further and further down a dead road. I'm heartbroken about this! Zinoviev squeezed out a few crocodile tears, "In this regard, I can't help but ask, why would an old revolutionary, an old comrade, make such a serious mistake against principles?" ”

Speaking of this, Zinoviev paused, glanced at the audience, and said categorically: "I think the most profound reason for this is that Comrade Kamenev does not have a deep understanding of revolutionary theory, and he has ideologically relaxed his defense against bourgeois sugar-coated shells. I believe that Comrade Lenin's dismissal of his post as editor-in-chief of Pravda is very correct and necessary. I fully support this decision! ”

Kamenev was completely stupid, and he was sent to eighteen layers of hell with just one of them, and if he didn't get it right, he would really never be able to turn over. Especially when he thought that he was begging this bastard to say good things to him just now, he felt even more slapped in the face. …,

Zinoviev was a little proud, he didn't care about the way Kamenev gritted his teeth, yes, he didn't need to care at all about a poor creature who had lost the struggle. It seemed to him that having come to his own conclusions, Comrade Lenin would have been able to solve this poor creature at will. The thought that the other party's political career in the Bolsheviks had been completely ended and that he had swept away a major opponent felt that his little effort was completely worth it.

Kamenev is finished, everyone here has come to this conclusion, and even Kamenev himself does not report any hope, in their opinion, even if Lenin does not expel him from the party, I am afraid that Kamenev will not have the face to stay in the party.

However, they were all wrong, and who made them not Lenin? If Lenin had been seen through so simply, he would not have been able to sit in his current position. He had no interest in slapping Kamenev to death, though the guy was like a green-headed fly, dirty and annoying. But this fly is still useful to Lenin, and no emotion or relationship is more useful than the word "Political".

For Lenin, the line he pursued would probably not be able to occupy a majority in the party in a short time, and in this case, if Kamenev were to be expelled, it would only benefit Zinoviev, another red-headed fly. Without Kamenev's containment, this red-headed fly would have taken over Kamenev's men and horses, and he might have been in danger at that time.

So the best way to do it is to hurt Kamenev so that he can't make waves for a while, and at the same time push the ambitious Zinoviev to his opposite, so that these two ambitious guys can fight!

To put it bluntly, Lenin is playing balance, and now he is unable to integrate the whole party and achieve ideological unity, so he can only let the two most powerful groups of people eat dogs, first, to buy him precious time and wait for the situation to change in his favor; Second, it can also indirectly consume the strength of some opposition parties and clear some obstacles to ideological unity in the future.

"On the question of Comrade Kamenev," Lenin spoke, "I think it is enough to remove him from the post of editor-in-chief of Pravda." After all, no one is perfect, and we can all make mistakes in the revolutionary struggle, so we must give our comrades the opportunity to make corrections. Especially for old comrades like Kamenev, the issue of them must be handled more carefully. My opinion is that this is the end of it...... Of course, if Comrade Kamenev does not reflect and continues on the wrong path without looking back, he can consider more serious punishments in the future! ”

Zinoviev was stupid, Kamenev was stupid, everyone else here was stupid. No one expected that Lenin would raise his hands high, but the board that fell down was fluttering. The conclusion was made at this point, although there is still a small tail behind, but for Kamenev it is tantamount to an extrajudicial favor.

In ecstasy, Kamenev repeatedly said to Lenin: "Comrade Lenin, I must reflect on myself and return to the right path. ”

As for Zinoviev, his face was blue and red, and the sound of grinding his teeth could be heard standing beside him. Yes, Zinoviev understood that he was completely tricked by Lenin, not only did he not completely defeat Kamenev, but he also offended him to death.

What's more, he ignored Kamenev's plea just now, and his ugly appearance of not saving him when he died was still seen by the big guys present. This is a big problem of corrupting the morals! Thinking about it, no matter who cooperates with him in the future, I'm afraid he will have to keep a hand, which is equivalent to indirectly weakening his own strength.

Looking at Lenin, who was indifferent, Zinoviev was dumb and couldn't say how hard it was to eat Coptis chinensis - Comrade Lenin, you are too ruthless and too desperate. …,

Was Lenin ruthless? Was Lenin absolutely unwilling?

Not necessarily, in a sense, Lenin's ruthlessness was absolutely aimed at a specific person, and if Kamenev and Zinoviev had not been half-hearted, if they had not been careful, they would never have been calculated by Lenin. In a sense, it was the greed and ambition of these two people that made them dig their own graves, and no one else was to blame.

The short meeting went quickly, and after dealing with Kamenev's problem, it was dispersed. As for Lenin's April Theses, it was completely overshadowed by this thrilling struggle. Even if some people want to make a fuss about this, they have to stop after seeing the fate of the two top bosses. At least I didn't dare to jump out openly, at most I just said strange things in private.

For Lenin, it was a preliminary victory, but not only did he not have any sense of joy, but he felt deeply apprehensive—according to the original plan, Lenin felt that after defeating Kamenev and Zinoviev by knocking out the tiger, the resistance to promoting his program would be greatly reduced, and at least a part of the party would be able to gain public support.

However, even as he repeatedly hinted, the top party members remained indifferent, with neither open opposition nor public support. Even if he took out the "April Theses" that had been sorted out and invited everyone to sign it, there was still no one willing to sign it.

This is not a good phenomenon, at least most of the means used to knock on the mountain and shake the tiger have lost their significance, and it shows that the vast majority of the party's top brass are not optimistic about his "April Theses." This made his later work even more difficult, and it could even be said that it was difficult.

It is a pity that Lenin did not have a very good way to deal with this, and he was the only one to convince him to do the work alone. Thinking about the old revolutions he was about to face, Lenin felt a great headache.

"Vladimir. Comrade Ilyich. Krupskaya pushed the door in, and in formal workplaces, she usually used the most formal salutation, "The discussion outside is over." ”

Lenin lifted up, and originally he had a little hope for the discussion in the Great Hall outside, but when he thought of the attitude of those old comrades, it was estimated that he would not be pleased outside. Thinking of this, he casually asked, "How many comrades outside agree with my opinion?" ”

Krupskaya looked at Lenin's tired appearance and felt a little distressed, and she had the heart not to tell Lenin the worst result, but even if she didn't say it, some people would say that if she made those nasty guys disgusting her husband, it would be better for her to stab her directly.

Krupskaya took a deep breath and said solemnly: "Only one comrade signed in favor of ......"
