Mikoyan's nonchalant attitude infuriated Kirov, and for all those who were only Stalin's leaders, it was his central task to ensure that Stalin's interests were not compromised. If there is a chance to hit a competitor, he will not hesitate to attack. It would never be like Mikoyan who took care of the overall situation, which in his opinion was not at all as important as Stalin's interests!

"Comrade Mikoyan, I am very dissatisfied with your irresponsible attitude! At this critical moment, we must strike a blow at Sverdlov's arrogance! And you? What have you done? You're justifying our direct competitors, what the hell are you trying to do? ”

"What do you want to do?" Kirov aroused Mikoyan's anger, and after repeating it, he said in an unquestionable tone: "What I want to do is to fulfill Comrade Joseph's instructions and push forward the revolutionary process in Moscow by all means!" That's the core task he gave us! Everything else that contradicts this core mission must be abandoned! ”

Kirov finally got angry and stood up with a slap on the table: "Ridiculous! Our core task is to combat Sverdlov's arrogance, and as for the revolutionary process in Moscow, it is the responsibility of the Moscow Soviets of Workers' and Soldiers' Deputies and the Revolutionary Military Council! We don't need dogs to meddle with rats! ”

Mikoyan was completely disappointed in Kirov, he thought that this thing could see farther, who would have thought that he would be so brainless and unreasonable. Reasoning with such a fool is purely playing the piano to a cow.

"Since we have a difference of opinion," said Michael calmly, "then let's act according to our respective goals!" You go ahead and go to Andrey. Petrovich's troubles. And I went to mobilize the masses. Push for armed struggle! ”

In fact, Kirov just got angry and said that after saying a bunch of words. He also regretted it, he didn't question Mikoyan's meaning, but he subconsciously looked down on his approach, and he didn't mean it. But Mikoyan's next statement disappointed him a little, the other party actually meant to part ways with him, and there was a vague sense of competition.

Immediately Kirov was not convinced, he and Mikoyan were on the same level as Stalin. But he is a few years older and older, and he usually thinks of himself as a big brother. And now that the little brother is actually in opposition to him, the big brother, he immediately can't accept it.

"That's fine!" Kirov agreed immediately, "lest anyone misunderstand the spirit of Comrade Joseph and cause irreparable losses in the end." ”

Kirov left angrily, he had already made up his mind, and he was determined to make trouble with Li Xiaofeng by any means. Mikoyan was very unimpressed with his brains, not only was he not interested in making trouble with Li Xiaofeng. Instead, there is a willingness to cooperate with someone.

He was keenly aware of the previous inaction of the Moscow Revolutionary Military Council. The revolutionary situation in Moscow was gradually out of their control. The forces of stirring up the situation headed by Li Xiaofeng already have a vague ability to fight against the Revolutionary Military Committee.

If this situation continues, then it is quite possible that the one who will control the course of the revolution in Moscow and make a big contribution to it will be the one whom Kirov is bent on dealing with.

Although Mikoyan followed Stalin, at the same time he also had his own ambitions, and he was not willing to be played with by others and applauded and become a high-level pawn. He hates the feeling, and he likes to take his destiny into his hands.

Therefore, this is a particularly good opportunity for him to write his name in the book of credit for the Moscow revolution, which will be quite beneficial for his future political career.

This benefit is greatly outweighed by following Stalin like Kirov, meticulously carrying out every instruction of Comrade Steel, and being his follower and echo worm. Why should you be so stupid, why should you be as brainless as Kirov?

"Comrade Nikolai," Mikoyan called Yezhov after once again strengthening his resolve, "how is the preparation of the Young Volunteer Army under your command?" ”

Yezhov had been very nervous for the past few hours, and after breaking up with Mikoyan, he was sensitively aware of the smell of danger. Although Mikoyan did not criticize him, although Mikoyan let him walk out of the tavern unscathed.

However, he knew that he seemed to have made a big mistake, and he did not convey the news to Li Xiaofeng as Mikoyan requested. It seems that the real intention of the other party is to convey the message in a righteous and bright way, so that the more people who know the Tao, the better.

And how did he do it, when his life was threatened, he said the news to save his life. No one knew that he had already conveyed the news to someone, and all they knew was that he had been beaten and left the Moscow Party Committee in disgrace.

Suffice it to say, he messed up the task and made a big fuss. In ugly words, it's a waste that doesn't have enough to do and more than to lose!

Did Stalin need waste? It was definitely not needed, Yezhov, who returned to his residence, was very frightened, he thought that his future was over, and he would not hesitate to abandon a waste, absolutely without the slightest pity.

Soon, a few hours later, when he received Mikoyan's instructions to go to the meeting immediately, Yezhov subconsciously thought that he was finished. This is Mikoyan conveying Stalin's final punishment of himself!

Should he take off his official hat and "cut his post for the people", or expel him from the party and pursue responsibility, or directly give himself a peanut and let him disappear from this world?

All this may have frightened Yezhov, but when Mikoyan asked that question, he suddenly realized that he seemed to have guessed wrong? It seems that Mikoyan didn't come to punish him? It seems that he still had a little effect on Stalin.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel a sense of joy at escaping death, and he spoke incoherently: "Comrade Mikoyan, I...... I...... ...... of the Young Volunteers That ......"

Mikoyan could guess why Yezhov was so out of shape, unlike Kirov, who had a tendon, he never looked down on Yezhov. As the old saying goes, good little devils are hard. Villains like Yezhov. Don't take it lightly, because you don't know when he's going to stab you.

And villains also have villain benefits, you can talk openly and honestly with him about interests, as long as there are common interests, they are much more useful than those so-called gentlemen.

"Speak slowly, don't rush!" Mikoyan said with a pleasant face.

Yezhov adjusted his mood, took a deep breath, and introduced: "The Young Volunteer Army has attracted students from more than a dozen colleges and universities in Moscow. Now you can use more than 1,000 people, and if you give the order, they will go to the fire! ”

Mikoyan nodded with satisfaction and complimented: "Very good, this shows that Comrade Yezhov has done a very good job!" Complete, no! The tasks assigned by Comrade Joseph were exceeded! On behalf of Comrade Joseph, I would like to express my sincere thanks to you! ”

Speaking of this, Mikoyan paused for a moment, and immediately interrupted Yezhov, who wanted to speak, "Now, an armed uprising is imminent!" Our young volunteers must also go to the front. Contribute to the great proletarian revolution! So, I have to know the way. How is the armament of the Young Volunteers? Is there a fight? ”

The smile on Yezhov's face disappeared in an instant, and it was true that the young volunteers he engaged in fooled a group of little kids, but he was not strong enough to deal with weapons. In fact, not only his Young Volunteers, but also the entire Moscow Workers' Red Guards did not have many weapons, and even less ammunition. Now that Mikoyan is not opening which pot to mention, he immediately misunderstood Mikoyan's meaning, thinking that the other party was going to deliberately pick thorns, and then used this excuse to clean him up, and for a while, his face was very ugly.

A person like Mikoyan immediately found out that Yezhov probably misunderstood what he meant, and to be honest, Mikoyan's evaluation of him in his heart was suddenly lowered. For what? The reason is very simple, political wisdom is not enough! If you can't understand the intentions of your superiors very well, even if such a comrade may take advantage of the situation for a while, in the long run, the future will be like that, and even if you don't get it right, you will even have to worry about your life!

Mikoyan secretly made a comparison between Yezhov and Li Xiaofeng, and suddenly felt that people were really incomparable, and if Li Xiaofeng, who was sitting in front of him now, would never misunderstand his intentions with his political wisdom.

Linked to the contradictions and conflicts between Ye Ruofu and Li Xiaofeng, he felt that Ye Ruofu was too self-conscious, and dared to set up such a terrible enemy for himself, which shows that he is not only not politically wise enough, but also confused, and such a villain cannot be on the big stage at all.

Anyway, through such a detail, Mikoyan already had a judgment in his heart, and now it is a last resort to use Yezhov, a fool, but after the matter is completed, it is better not to have too close contact with him in the future, so as not to be implicated.

Of course, all this that Mikoyan thought in his heart was not shown on his face at all, and even his attitude towards Yezhov was even more gentle, as if it was like a spring breeze, which flattered Yezhov.

Yezhov patted his chest and said: "Comrade Mikoyan, you say, what do you want me to do?" As long as I can do it, I will never say a word! ”

Mikoyan smiled and said, "I don't mean anything else, I just want to know about the preparation of the Young Volunteers!" I know that there is a shortage of weapons and ammunition right now, and I just plan to solve this problem for you! ”

At this time, Ye Ruofu suddenly realized that he had misunderstood the feelings just now, and suddenly the goods blushed, and said embarrassedly: "It's really good, Comrade Mikoyan, you have helped me a lot!" He was very excited and said: "Now the morale of the comrades is high, but there is a lack of weapons and ammunition!" If you can provide us with weapons, then I'll be able to do it! ”

Mikoyan smiled and nodded continuously, but in his heart he looked down on Yezhov even more, you kid is enough, and finally said what was in his heart, feeling that your young volunteers are just a show. And according to your meaning, I am your logistics captain, and I am here to help you solve your problems. The final result is that you go to a big job and take the credit for yourself. I didn't expect you kid to be really greedy!

Yezhov did not expect that his straightforward words made Mikoyan see through his essence, he is indeed a solitary eater, in his opinion, the Young Volunteers are his own team, and the credit is naturally owned by him. As for Mikoyan's weapons and ammunition, he felt that this was probably Stalin's intention, since it was Stalin's intention. The other party is doing things according to the rules. Case. Why should I appreciate it, and why should I share the credit with you?

This is the best portrayal of Yezhov, who is too ambitious and greedy to blind his eyes, so that he can't see reality at all, and it is not surprising that he made the wrong choice in the end.

Pity. This time he met Mikoyan, an old fox who was much more cunning than him, and in terms of his ability to play tricks, even Beria who killed him was no match for Mikoyan, let alone him?

"I don't have weapons and ammunition!" Mikoyan's attitude immediately cooled down, and he poured a basin of cold water on Yezhov's head.

"Uh......" Yezhov was so choked that he couldn't speak, if it weren't for Mikoyan's very enthusiastic attitude just now, he would have thought that the other party was here to deliberately entertain him.

"But," Mikoyan continued, "but I know where to get weapons and ammunition!" ”

Yezhov couldn't wait to ask: "Where?" I immediately gathered my comrades and went! ”

Mikoyan smiled. Smiling mysteriously, he said unhurriedly: "But I'm worried! ”

"What are you worried about?" Yezhov asked cautiously. "Could it be that these arms are in the hands of the White Army?"

Mikoyan said slowly: "That's not it, the arsenal is controlled by our people!" ”

"Then you don't have to worry about it at all!" Yezhov said confidently, "As long as you tell me where there are weapons and ammunition, even if you rob me, you will grab it!" ”

"Really? Are you so determined? Mikoyan's smile became more and more weird, if Li Xiaofeng was here, he would immediately react - Nima, there is a pit in front! Stop there!

But Yezhov did not have such superb political wisdom, and his eyes were blinded by fame and fortune, and he crashed into it with a stupid head. He patted his chest and said, "I'm not bragging to you!" As long as there are no White Army in the place you mentioned, I will be able to get my hands on the weapon! ”

Finally waiting for this sentence, Mikoyan was very satisfied, and he didn't bother to go around in circles, and directly tried to see the poor dagger: "Since Comrade Yezhov has such a great determination, I am relieved!" Then this task is handed over to you, and I am sure that you will be able to complete the task successfully! Speaking of this, Mikoyan pretended to let out a sigh of relief, "According to the information I just received, Andrei. Comrade Petrovich has recaptured the Main Directorate of Posts, Telecommunications and Telephones, and has opened up contact with the Kremlin, which, as you know, has the largest armory in the city......"

When Yezhov heard about Andrei. Petrovich was a bad name, and when the Kremlin was a place name, it was infinitely magnified.

He neither had the ability to get close to the Kremlin, nor did he have the ability to pull out arms in Li Xiaofeng's hands, either of these two would be impossible tasks for him, let alone two in one?

Yezhov fell in the pit that Mikoyan had dug and his face was bruised and swollen, and he said hesitantly: "Comrade Mikoyan, it seems that ...... This ......"

"What, having a hard time?" Now it was Mikoyan's turn to pretend to be stupid, "I also thought it was not easy at first, especially considering that you and Andre. Bad relations between Comrade Petrovich, the more difficult it is! But I am very gratified that in the face of difficulties, Comrade Yezhov, you did not flinch, you went forward bravely, and you deserved to be an excellent Bolshevik! Comrade Joseph really didn't misread you! ”

Checkmate!

Yezhov felt that he had been checkmated, and Mikoyan's words blocked his retreat tightly, and he had no second way to go except to surrender and admit defeat.

"Alright, time is pressing, let's do it quickly!" Mikoyan looked at his watch and burned a fire under Yezhov's ass again, but no matter how hard he burned it, Yezhov just didn't move.

"What are you still rubbing?" Mikoyan suddenly straightened his face, and after laying the groundwork for so long, he was waiting for this moment.

"This ...... Don't ......be in a hurry," Yezhov said, scratching his ears and cheeks.

"How can you not be in a hurry!" Mikoyan suddenly raised his voice and said sternly: "Comrade Yezhov, this is an urgent task and an important mission that must be completed immediately!" Not a second can be delayed! ”

"But......" Yezhov hesitated for a long time, but at this moment and a half, how could he come up with a way to relieve himself, he could only honestly surrender and admit defeat: "Comrade Mikoyan, I probably underestimated the severity of the task, and I am not very sure about this!" Do you think we can abandon this plan for the time being, and we can find a way to get arms from somewhere else? ”

Mikoyan took a deep breath and glared at Yezhov sternly, "Nonsense! Messy talk! How did you guarantee that? Do you treat the party's decision-making as child's play? Now we have no choice but to contact Andrey. Petrovich has a way out! ”

"But ......"

As soon as Yezhov wanted to quibble, Mikoyan interrupted him very unceremoniously, "If you are not sure, don't talk superfluous nonsense!" Now the work of the Youth Volunteer Army is under my own responsibility, and this task is completed by me! Now, in order to cooperate with my work, you immediately gather your comrades! I will explain the situation to them personally! ”

Yezhov was dumbfounded, he didn't expect Mikoyan to remove his military power in three or two sentences, and he had nothing to say. Who made him talk too much at first! Deserve! (To be continued......)
