056 Confrontation II
Muralov's heart jumped, he realized that the worst had happened, and despite the fact that the Central Executive Committee of the Moscow Soviets of Engineer and Soldier Deputies seemed to be only asking about the results of the battle, he immediately smelled something unusual with his extremely keen political sense.
This is definitely not a good sign, and it is even possible to boldly guess that the Central Executive Committee is preparing to make a fuss about the results of the battle, and after opening a breakthrough, they will dig deep into their mistakes.
Muralov glanced at the rostrum suspiciously, although the members of the Central Executive Committee who were sitting in a serious position were expressionless, as if they were just asking routine questions, but he was just not at ease, and felt that a crisis was about to break out.
As a rare member of the Central Committee of the Moscow Revolutionary Military Council, Muralov's status was a little higher than that of Lomov and Smirlov, the latter two, one was only an alternate member of the Central Committee, and the other did not have any title. So this question was naturally answered by Muralov, who was the highest and most senior.
He made up his mind and said solemnly: "The battle began late last night, and after a night of fierce fighting, in the city of Moscow, we and the enemy fell into a tug-of-war, attacking and defending each other...... According to the estimates of the Revolutionary Military Council, this stalemate will continue for some time! ”
Muralov cautiously glanced at the executive committee member, and it was clear that the Central Executive committee member was not satisfied with his answer, so he immediately added: "Of course, if Comrade Frunze can return to Moscow in time, the situation will change radically!" ”
It is clear that Muralov is trying to make the situation look better, at least in words. However, the Central Executive Committee does not seem to buy it. They sternly asked: "It's not these empty words that the Central Executive Committee wants to know. The Central Executive Committee really wants to know how many strategic points we have captured, how many enemies we have destroyed, and how many casualties we have paid! ”
Muralov's face was cold, the situation was getting worse and worse, and the aggressive momentum of the Central Executive Committee clearly showed one point - the matter is big!
Muralov glanced at Lomov and Smirlov beside him, hoping that these two bastards could take the initiative to help him share a little pressure, according to the offensive and defensive alliance reached before, everyone should go together at this time. Resolutely resist the pressure of the Central Executive Committee.
But obviously, Muralov was going to be disappointed, Lomov and Smirlov had no intention of making a move, they sat comfortably in their positions, looking at their nose and nose, looking at their mouths and hearts, as if they were distracted.
Mulalov's anger was immediately aroused, their two grandsons are not righteous, so why should I be polite to you.
Immediately, he turned to Lomov and said: "Comrade Lomov, the comrades of the Central Executive Committee are very concerned about the specific data of the battle, and you are responsible for the specific data collection work. Tell the comrades of the Central Executive Committee about the data you have obtained! With that, he sat back on his own. Following Lomov's appearance just now, he also began to pretend to be stupid.
The eyes of the audience were immediately focused on Lomov, this heavy pressure was maddening enough, but Lomov didn't seem to feel this huge pressure at all, let alone angry because of Mulalov's unrighteousness.
Lomov stood up calmly, and after bowing slightly, the executive committee of the DPRK and the Central Committee said with a stern expression: "According to the data I got before, after a night of fierce fighting, the battle situation was generally very unsatisfactory, we failed to seize the opportunity, failed to cause much damage to the enemy, and lost some strategic points, such as the city hall. The results of the battle were disappointing, we paid a huge price and failed to achieve any decent results, and we should be ashamed compared to the miracle created by Comrade Frunze......"
Muralov was stunned, according to their previous agreement, Lomov categorically should not say such things, which is tantamount to digging his own grave. According to this argument, the Revolutionary Military Council will be burdened with great responsibility, and to put it mildly, it will completely destroy their political future!
"Lomov, are you crazy?" Muralov really wanted to stand up and yell at some "idiot" who was now gushing about his "crimes".
But Muralov failed to do so, not because he didn't want to, but because he was stunned by what Lomov said next, "...... We have not been able to achieve any decent results in Moscow, and we have not been able to destroy the enemy in Petrograd as the center has done...... We slowly swallowed like an old lady, grinding and stumbling, taking two steps back, and missing a great opportunity in vain, much to the disappointment of the comrades at the grassroots level. Do we need to review what is this for? Why did our uprising go so tortuously? If we do not find the answer, we will never be able to achieve the victory of the revolution! ”
Lomov's speech set off a hurricane in the room, the deputies whispered and made a noisy buzz, and everyone was stunned, completely unexpecting that Lomov would ask such a question.
Of course, the delegates wanted to know more about whether there was an answer to the question posed by Molov, and if so, what the answer was!
Molov stood there with a high spirit, he did have the answer, although he had only known it for a long time, but he liked it, because it would not only pull him out of a whirlpool created by Zinoviev, but also create considerable political benefits for him.
As soon as he thought of the benefits promised by the other party, Molov's heart fluttered, he glanced at Mulalov beside him, and found that his face was pale, and he could only say sorry in his heart - man, it's not that my brother is not righteous, but the interests are really moving, if it were you, you would make the same choice.
Lomov took a deep breath and said loudly: "Comrades, in fact, this answer is quite obvious. The reason why we have not been able to achieve decent results is simply because there is a group of compromise capitulationists in the Revolutionary Military Council! They sympathize with the enemy, have no confidence in the armed struggle, and all they think about is kneeling down to the enemy, they want to push the working masses under the enemy's butcher's knife! It is because of them that our uprising has come to a standstill from the very beginning! They need to take full responsibility for it! ”
Muralov's head thumped, and he was stunned. He understood what Lomov was trying to do. The bastard was ready to throw the black cauldron to him entirely. Prepare to die and die in the poor way. Although Muralov didn't know why Dolomov was doing this, he knew that if he didn't fight back quickly, this basin would really be locked on his head.
Muralov tried to stand up violently, but Lomov and Smirlov were much faster than him, as if handing over the baton, Smirlov took the baton and opened fire on him suddenly: "Comrade Lomov is very right. It is also very well stated that there is indeed such a capitulation bloc in the Revolutionary Military Council. They were godlike to the notorious Zinoviev, blindly credulous to his instructions, ignoring the correct decisions of the Central Committee and Comrade Lenin, and trying to compromise with the enemy! ”
Speaking of this, Smirlov pointed at Muralov sharply and asked: "Muralov, what else do you have to say about this?" You capitulationist, you Zinoviev echoworm, aren't you ashamed of what you have done! ”
There was another sensation in the venue. From the moment Lomov said that there were capitulationists in the Revolutionary Military Council, the deputies were speculating. Who are the capitulationists? Is it Mulalov, or Smirlov, as for Usievich, as a sworn friend of Zinoviev, he is not a capitulator and who is a capitulator?
However, when Smirlov found out everything, the delegates were still shocked, Muralov's status was extraordinary, as a member of the party Central Committee, he had extraordinary influence in Moscow, and it was too sensational that he turned out to be a capitulationist.
Immediately, a representative who was close to Muralov jumped out and questioned Smirlov: "Comrade Smirlov, you are responsible for what you say. You accuse Comrade Muralov of being a capitulationist, what evidence do you have? ”
"Of course I have proof!" Smirlov said with confidence, "Muralov's words and deeds in the Revolutionary Military Council were taken seriously by me and Comrade Lomov, and every decision he made was biased in favor ......of Zinoviev and had a capitulationist tendency."
Muralov couldn't bear it anymore, jumped up, pointed at Smirlov's nose and shouted: "Every decision of the Revolutionary Military Council is decided by you, Lomov and Usievich, I have always disagreed with the resolutions you have made, and every time I have to abstain from voting. And now, you're spewing blood, it's just ...... It's shameless! ”
There was another riot in the hall, and the deputies were talking about it, some echoing Smirlov and Lomov, and some complaining about Muralov. Of course, no matter what they think in private, the one who can really decide who is right and who is wrong is the three of them will have to confront them face to face.
In the face of Mulalov's counterattack, Lomov said bitterly: "Comrade Mulalov, I am so disappointed in you, you are still talking at this time, do you think that no one can debunk the conspiracy between you and Usievich and Zinoviev?" Do you think we really don't have proof? ”
Muralov took a deep breath, he had already sent someone to kill Alkirov just now, as long as that cargo died, everything would be dead without proof. So he's not particularly worried.
"Since you say there is evidence," Muralov sneered, "then come up with evidence!" ”
"Of course we can come up with proof!" Smirlov took over the conversation very calmly and asked confidently: "Let me ask you, in the early hours of this morning, did you Mulalov send your secretary Alkirov to the General Directorate of Posts, Telecommunications and Telephones!" It was you who made Arkirov falsely spread the news that the Soviets of the city were under siege, demanded that Comrade Pjanitsky immediately send reinforcements, and then mistakenly transferred the main forces guarding the Main Directorate of Posts, Telecommunications and Telephones! So much so that now the General Directorate of Posts, Telecommunications and Telephone is under the onslaught of the enemy and is in a precarious situation! Isn't that a good thing you did? ”
There was another uproar in the venue, but Muralov breathed a sigh of relief, and secretly said that the two of you only have this trick, don't you just want to make a fuss about Alkirov? But people are dead, and you have no basis for what you say!
He categorically denied it: "I never gave such instructions to Alkirov!" No such instructions were given to him! You're just framing you! ”
"Framed?" Lomov sneered and said sarcastically: "Mulalov, you really don't shed tears when you don't see the coffin." Do you think we don't have proof? ”
Muralov was not afraid. Said categorically: "Then you will come up with evidence!" ”
"Evidence?"
Smirlov and Lomov laughed suddenly. The laughter made Muralov's heart chill, and he suddenly had an extremely bad feeling, as if he had fallen into the trap of these two sluts.
"It's so easy to come up with evidence!" Lomov said with a smile, "And I'm afraid that Muralov will be frightened when you see the evidence!" ”
The sense of crisis in Mulalov's heart became stronger and stronger, and he carefully recalled everything before to see where the flaws were exposed. But when he remembered that it was the two sluts in front of him who asked him to dispose of Alkirov, his face turned pale.
Muralov finally knew what the problem was. If nothing else, it's a trap, and the two sluts set everything up and trick him into jumping in stupidly. If he guessed correctly, the so-called evidence is Alkirov himself.
Mulalov's expression completely fell into the eyes of Lomov and Smirlov, and when they saw their old friend's face pale and standing there strongly, they cried out in their hearts for joy, but also secretly said that they were lucky.
If it weren't for the fact that they met Mikoyan in advance and accepted his offer. Then it is quite possible that they are definitely the ones who are now standing in the dock and suffering. In cooperation with Mikoyan. It was really the most important decision they had made, especially when they thought of Mikoyan's promise, and they were even more jubilant and ready to give Muralov a fatal blow with all their might.
"On behalf of comrades," Smirlov raised his voice abruptly, pointing to Mulalov's nose and counting, "you would never have thought that this good-looking Comrade Mulalov is essentially a beast with a human face and a beast's heart. In order to cover up the mistakes he committed before, in order to cover up the truth, he did not hesitate to poison his comrades! Not long ago, he actually instructed his henchmen to assassinate Alkirov, to kill a young man who didn't know anything, ignorant and ignorant! Tell me, is he still a revolutionary, still our comrade, still a person! ”
Coax!
The hall was finally boiling, and all the delegates stared at Muralov, who had plummeted in momentum and was almost falling down in frustration, and all the chaotic voices poured towards him, some questioning, some scolding, and some gloating.
"Mulalov, you must explain everything clearly, you are denying your guilt! Have you ever done such a despicable ugly thing! ”
"Despicable villain, you are not qualified to stay in the venue, you are a disgrace to the Bolsheviks!"
"I said a long time ago, Muralov is nothing more than a despicable villain, his character is in shambles, and a villain like this should have been expelled from the party a long time ago!"
The rain was coming, and the crumbling Muralov looked gloomily at the triumphant Lomov and Smirlov, and he had nothing to say about these two despicable villains. He can only blame himself for not knowing anyone and falling for the tricks of these two villains.
Although he knew that he was afraid that he would never be able to turn over this time, but in his heart, he hated it! He swore to Satan that he would be willing to give his soul if he could take revenge on these two vile villains.
However, at this time, there was no point in praying to God and worshiping Buddha, and under the protection of the two soldiers, Alkirov was slowly walking into the venue, and if nothing else, Muralov's former secretary would give his former master a fatal blow.
"Mulalov, are you still obsessed?" Lomov smirked at Alkirov, "Your ugly face will be exposed to the world immediately, and if you don't admit your guilt now, do you want to fight to the end?" ”
Muralov glanced at Lomov coldly, took a deep breath, and said, "Don't be too happy!" You can use vile means against me this time, and sooner or later someone will use the same means against you! ”
"It's stubborn!" Lomov was not afraid of Mulalov's intimidation, only a loser would say such a pediatric thing, he did not pay attention to Mulalov, but said to all the deputies full of "indignation": "Comrades, you will soon see the true face of Mulalov, Comrade Alkirov will expose his mask!" ”
At this moment, the atmosphere in the room reached a climax, and almost all the delegates' attention was focused on Alkirov, wanting to hear what he would say. Of course, not all of them paid attention to Alkirov, and in one of the most remote corners, Mikoyan did not pay much attention to Alkirov.
The best thing about using Alkirov to bring down Muralov is not only to completely destroy the political future of a member of the Central Committee, but also to have the absolute upper hand in the fight between him and Li Xiaofeng, which is what makes him the most proud.
According to the previous agreement between him and Li Xiaofeng, it was not just one Muralov that was eliminated, but the four members of the Moscow Revolutionary Military Council were completely wiped out, and then the two sides divided what they needed according to their work.
And now, with a little trickery on his Mikoyan, Lomov and Smirlov have the absolute upper hand, and even pulled these two guys into his chariot. In this way, he easily grabbed two votes in the Moscow Revolutionary Military Council, which was definitely good and a forerunner for striving for greater interests in Moscow in the future.
Thinking that he had easily fooled Li Xiaofeng, but he had suffered a secret loss, Mikoyan couldn't help but be proud, at this moment, he stared at Li Xiaofeng to see what kind of expression this little fox would show in the face of such an unfavorable situation...... (To be continued......)
