298 The immortals are coming
Severodonetsk, the headquarters of the Red Tenth Army.
A young man with a high forehead was frowning and reading a telegram from Slavyansk Cheka.
"Kliment. Comrade Yevremovich, look at it. The young man handed the telegram to Voroshilov.
The stupid big marshal took it and saw Andrei for the first time. Petrovich name, I felt a burst of unhappiness. He had a long-standing hatred with a certain immortal, and he had a quarrel before the October Revolution, for which he was punished and driven back to his hometown of Luhansk. If it weren't for the fact that he later followed Frunze in the battle to defeat Karekin, it is estimated that he would have been the chairman of the Luhansk Soviet in this life.
"Why is he here?" Voroshilov's face immediately collapsed.
To tell the truth, Voroshilov is really a little afraid of a certain immortal, because the background is harder than him, and his current position is higher than him. Especially now that he is purging and making a lot of shit. If you really hit a certain immortal, I'm afraid you're going to be exposed.
Voroshilov asked with a bitter face: "Andrey. Comrade Alexandrovich, is the news exact? ”
If Li Xiaofeng is here, I am afraid he will be surprised, because this name with this wide head means that this is the later famous Zhdanov. To put it mildly, this top confidant belonging to Stalin, otherwise he would not have become a member of the Politburo and secretary of the Central Committee. It can be said that the ideology of the Stalin period was completely controlled by this man. What's even better is that this son also married Stalin's daughter, and the two were comrades-in-arms and in-laws.
Zhdanov nodded lightly and lit a cigarette. Slowly: "Comrade Slavyansk Cheka should not lie. And look at it from the telegram. Andre. Petrovich is menacing, I'm afraid. As soon as they came up, all the case files were seized. A large number of old counter-revolutionary officers were released. ”
Voroshilov snorted, feeling a suffocation in his heart, he had just started a large-scale rebellion according to the instructions of the steel, and he finally managed to achieve a little "achievement", why did he recruit this plague god?
"You mean, he's coming at us?"
Zhdanov flicked the ashes of his cigarette, spat out a smoke ring, and said slowly: "Isn't it? ”
He's not the same as Voroshilov's bale of straw. The political aspect is dozens of times more sensitive than this stupid big man. He had heard Stalin say that through his efforts he had prevented someone's request to go to the Luhansk front. And now, someone has just arrived, isn't his purpose obvious?
"So what are we going to do?" Voroshilov asked a little eagerly.
"What else?" Zhdanov smiled and extinguished the cigarette butt, and replied very calmly: "The soldiers will come to block the water and cover the earth!" ”
Naturally, this reply could not satisfy Voroshilov, in his opinion, he and Zhdanov were not opponents of a certain immortal, only to be crushed by force.
"Don't you want to do a little bit of preparation?" Voroshilov asked in a whisper. "Do you want to pause the rebellion first, wait for ......?"
He's not done yet. Zhdanov refused, "You don't need it, you can do it." Nothing needs to be changed! ”
This is so suspenseful that Voroshilov's eyeballs fall out, what is this method called? Someone is menacing and ready to trouble us, how much do we have to wipe our butts quickly, at least we have to stop the small movements in our hands first, right? It's good that you don't do anything to prepare, and you still have to keep it as it is, are you going to give the pigtails to someone else to catch?
Zhdanov smiled inscrutablely, gently extinguished the cigarette butt, walked to the windowsill and said with his hands behind his back: "Listen to me, it's okay!" ”
Voroshilov's mind was full of black lines, if it wasn't Zhdanov who said this, if it was someone else, he would probably just pick up the horsewhip and smoke it. But Stalin had deliberately explained to him before, Zhdanov was a bull, and when it came to politics, you would listen to him as a big boss, and he would do whatever he said.
Voroshilov was indispensable to anyone, but only Stalin's orders were carried out to the letter. Okay, anyway, Zhdanov is the commissar you sent to me, and he has the final say in political matters!
Even now, it is obvious that Voroshilov is dissatisfied with Zhdanov's disposition, but he still holds back his grievances and lets Zhdanov toss. It has to be said that in this respect, Voroshilov is a bit of a do-nothing, all-encompassing.
So, is Zhdanov really a two-hundred-and-five, a fool who doesn't rush when he burns his eyebrows? Definitely not, to be an important assistant to Stalin, to be in charge of the ideology of the USSR for more than ten years, such a person cannot be a fool, more likely a cunning old fox.
It has to be said that when the old officers began to vigorously persecute the old officers and began to carry out rampant purges, Stalin, Zhdanov and Mikoyan, another old fox, went through detailed research and discussion, and they all took into account the problems that they might encounter in all aspects, and they all found ways to avoid risks.
For example, unexpected factors like Li Xiaofeng, they took them into account. At that time, however, they thought that it was Trotsky's men who might be looking for trouble, and they did not expect that it would be a certain immortal who would be the first to come to the door. But it doesn't matter, to tell the truth, in the eyes of Zhdanov and Mikoyan, a certain immortal is much easier to deal with than Trotsky.
The reason is very simple, this time the means of rectifying people, they played quite cleverly. Combining the dual advantages of the political department of the Red Army and the Cheka, everything was done seamlessly. The specific strategy was that the political department of the Red Army would initiate the complaint, and then the local Cheka would take over the trial and convict, and the two agencies would work together, so that they would not be afraid of anyone who would come to find trouble.
Why do you say that? To illustrate, for example, as they had anticipated, it was Trotsky's men who were to be dealt with. Trotsky's influence in the military came from the Supreme Military Council, and most of the people he sent did so through this channel, most likely as representatives of the General Political Department of the Red Army.
When the people of the General Political Department of the Red Army came, they could catch the pigtails of the lower-level political commissars, and if the political department of the Red Tenth Army was single-handedly handling the handling of the old officers, it would certainly be a one-handed arrest. You can't even run away. But that's not how it works now. The Political Department of the Red Tenth Army was only responsible for providing black materials. That is, it only played the role of the prosecutor's department. The subsequent interrogation and trial were all in charge of the local Cheka.
In this way, the General Political Department of the Red Army really could not trouble Zhdanov, to put it mildly, he was only fulfilling his duty and fulfilling the political commissar's obligation to report and expose the counter-revolution. The interrogation and conviction did not go through his hands, how do you spank him?
Of course, if Trotsky's men did not relentless in the trouble of the Cheka, Stalin, Zhdanov and Mikoyan welcomed him with raised hands. They feared that Trotsky would have fought with the Cheka, just to reap the benefits of the fishermen.
I have to say that these three guys are really insidious, and Trotsky may not really have much to do with them. Naturally, the truth is the same, Trotsky can't do anything with the Cheka, and a certain immortal has nothing to do with the political department of the Red Army.
Zhdanov thought about it, if a certain immortal came to hold him responsible, then he could still push it all away, and Lao Tzu only provided materials. It's just doing its duty. The interrogation and trial are all handled by your Cheka people, what does it have to do with Lao Tzu?
What the? You accuse Lao Tzu of having a problem with the reporting materials. Not true? Framed? Hey, are you mistaken, who can guarantee that the materials are all genuine? If it is all true, then our Political Department will take it upon itself to liquidate the counter-revolutionaries, and what do you want the Cheka to screen in this move?
Anyway, Zhdanov has already figured out how to kick the ball and push all the responsibility to the Cheka, what will happen to you Li Xiaofeng when the time comes? Find out who's sitting on the wax!
This move is indeed very insidious, as one of the main leaders of the Cheka, if Li Xiaofeng denies everything about the local Cheka and criticizes them ruthlessly, it will be tantamount to slapping himself in the face. Stalin could have taken the opportunity to make a small report, fiercely criticize the Cheka's way of working, and make a certain immortal look good.
To tell the truth, Zhdanov is a little eager for some immortal to come to Severodonetsk quickly, the pits are all dug, and they are waiting for someone to jump. Of course, if someone doesn't come, they have nothing to lose, and they can happily continue to rebel.
So, will Li Xiaofeng go? Of course it goes, and it's going fast. The day after Zhdanov received the telegram, he arrived in Severodonetsk. However, contrary to Zhdanov's expectations, someone did not immediately call the door to find trouble with the Political Department of the Red Tenth Army, but first went to hit the local Cheka board.
Similar to the method of dealing with the Slavyansk Cheka, a certain immortal first started with the case file as soon as he came up, denied all the far-fetched case files that were careless of human life, and directly gave the local Cheka a bloody sprinkler. The only difference from Slavyansk is that this time a certain immortal went on a killing spree and directly ordered the head of the local Cheka to be shot.
"You said Andrey. What is Petrovich doing? ”
Voroshilov went out into hiding for a day, fearing that someone would trouble him. It wasn't until I got the news that someone didn't come to the headquarters of the Red Tenth Army to look for trouble, that I ran back.
Zhdanov was also a little surprised, but on the whole he was relatively calm, because he felt that if someone didn't come to him, it was because he was still smart, and he knew that there was no way to find this trouble. That's why the killer was killed and the Cheka was slashed.
"I'm afraid our anti-rebellion action is going to be blocked!" Zhdanov sighed.
When Voroshilov heard this, he was a little anxious, but he had made a package ticket with Stalin, and he would complete the task without discounting, but now it is good, the rebellion has just entered the right track, and he will open a knife on the middle and high-level old officers in the Red Tenth Army, how can it be stopped?
"I don't want to stop!" Zhdanov sighed and explained faintly: "But, Andrey. Petrovich took the Cheka. Needless to say, he would definitely send his cronies to take over the work of the local Cheka...... Without the cooperation of the Cheka, we would have had to use the name of the Political Department, and it would have been much easier for Trotsky to clean us up! ”
Voroshilov thought about it, it is indeed the truth, the reason why this period of purge went smoothly was because of the two-pronged approach, and now that the Cheka has withdrawn, they are the first birds.
"And," Zhdanov sighed again, "I'm afraid that fellow has already leaked the news to Trotsky, and soon Trotsky will send someone to find out, and he will stare at us with a dead eye...... The slightest mistake is in danger for us......"
Voroshilov shuddered, Trotsky was so powerful that he knew so well that even the Mentor had to give up three points. Can he have good fruit to eat? Last time Stalin also said it. Trotsky was already very dissatisfied with him. If you hit him again this time, you won't have to cut him ruthlessly!
After thinking about it, Voroshilov suddenly became a little happy, and he himself was not very enthusiastic about this activity. And since he had carried out his iron will, he was afraid that Trotsky would find trouble. It's a good thing to be able to stop now!
Voroshilov's little caution was seen by Zhdanov as true. However, he did not despise this stupid big man, and he would be afraid of anyone who faced a behemoth like Trotsky, even himself, who was walking on thin ice every day, for fear that if he was not careful, he would reveal a flaw. Now, although he was forced to terminate the plan, he was relieved.
Of course, Zhdanov was only relieved, as Stalin's staff and think tank, it was his mission to share the worries of the Lord. Stalin's current situation is not very good. If the rebellion can't go on, they have to help find another way to do it. But. In this moment, where can we find a new breakthrough!
In the following days, Zhdanov largely ignored Li Xiaofeng's arrival, and he focused most of his energy on finding a new breakthrough. However, he had no idea that he had miscalculated a certain immortal from the very beginning, and that he had too much self-esteem for the so-called seamless plan they had made.
Li Xiaofeng is not a good-tempered master, and he will not break his teeth and swallow it in his stomach, this product has a strong sense of revenge, and he will repay it. Stalin used the Cheka to make trouble, which made him unbearable!
"Andrey. Comrade Alexandrovich, something happened! ”
When Denov had just arrived at the office that day to start a new day's work, Voroshilov burst in panting, the urgency and panic were unprecedented, at least Zhdanov had never seen this thing these days.
"What's wrong?" Zhdanov asked with some displeasure.
Voroshilov panted and said: "Andrey. Petrovich shot! ”
Zhdanov frowned and asked, "What did he do?" ”
Voroshilov took two deep breaths before he said: "He sent people to arrest many of our commissars!" ”
"What?!" Zhdanov jumped up and asked angrily: "Why did he arrest people?" ”
But before the words came out, Zhdanov reacted, this is stupid words. People are Chekas, the leading institutions of the suppression, why can't they arrest people?
Zhdanov took a deep breath and asked: "In what name did he arrest the people?" ”
Voroshilov smiled bitterly and said: "Counter-revolutionary crimes. ”
"Tsk......"
Zhdanov felt that the egg hurt, if someone arrested someone under other pretexts, such as fighting for a previous unjust, false and wrongful case or something, he could also go and ask for an explanation, and take out the set of arguments that had been planned before and slap him in the face. But on the contrary, someone's banner is to suppress rebellion, this Nima is too responsive, and it is simply to govern others in the way of others.
Zhdanov stood up and walked back and forth in front of the window, knowing that this was definitely someone's revenge, and even the initial stage of revenge. Next, they can continue to expand the matter, I am afraid that it will get him and Voroshilov.
"You can't just get beaten and not fight back!" Zhdanov quickly made a decision, and he quickly instructed Voroshilov: "You go and mobilize the soldiers at once!" ”
"What?" Voroshilov was so frightened that he almost fell off his chair, what kind of bad idea is this Nima, let Lao Tzu die with someone with soldiers, what is the nature of this?
Zhdanov glared at Voroshilov dissatisfied, he was really speechless about the political IQ of this product, and he could only explain with difficulty: "It's not for you to lead the troops to rebel, but for you to incite the soldiers to go to him for an explanation, and arrest the commissar at will, what is the nature of this?" Be sure to make a fuss about this point...... As long as we mobilize the soldiers, we can turn defeat into victory and turn the situation around! ”
Voroshilov's eyes suddenly lit up, although his political wisdom was a little worse, but he still had brains, and I have to say that this is indeed the only way to change the current passive situation. The Central Committee is now most afraid of the mutiny of the soldiers, as long as the soldiers make a fuss, someone will not be able to eat and walk around!
"Okay!" Voroshilov jumped up with a smile, patted his chest and said: "I'll go to ...... right away"
But before he could finish his words, he heard a faint voice from outside the office: "Klimant. Comrade Yevremovich, where are you going? ”
Soon, Zhdanov and Voroshilov saw the smiling face of a certain immortal, and he walked in very relaxed and happy, and said with a smile: "What is it that makes you so anxious?" ”
Zhdanov and Voroshilov were worried for a while, both of them knew that things were not good, but Zhdanov reacted quickly and immediately said: "It turned out to be Andrey. Comrade Petrovich, the mood of the army is somewhat unstable, Kliment . Comrade Yevremovich is preparing to go to work! ”
I have to say that Zhdanov is very yin, and he is blocking Li Xiaofeng's mouth with words. However, a certain immortal reacted faster, and immediately picked up: "I have come for this matter, since I arrived in Severodonetsk, I have constantly received complaints from comrades of the soldiers, saying that there are great problems in the anti-rebellion work here, which has aroused great indignation...... I've been working on this for the past two days. After my reconnaissance and understanding, there are really very serious problems in Severodonetsk. As the two of you in charge of the military and political affairs here, it is important for us to have an urgent meeting to discuss how to resolve these issues. ”
As he spoke, he commanded the guards outside the door: "Keep the door open, and don't let anyone disturb our meeting!" (To be continued......)
