Kamenev?

This name is now unfamiliar to many comrades in the party. Many people's first reaction when they hear this name is probably that Kamenev is still alive? And then the second reaction was, does this product still have the face to mix in the party?

Yes, with the victory of the October Revolution, Kamenev and Zinoviev were nailed to the pillar of shame, especially the former, almost a typical negative textbook. At least Zinoviev's goods have turned a corner and changed their ways, and this goods have always insisted on singing the opposite.

Lenin subconsciously didn't want to see this thing, he was already annoyed enough, and he was really in no mood to listen to Kamenev's chatter about some peace plan!

Yes, when the civil war broke out, Kamenev, who had been completely marginalized, seemed to have found a second spring, endlessly publishing some anachronistic articles in the newspapers, pretending to cry out what was going on in the same room, what was causing trouble, and even concocted a slogan that Russians don't fight Russians.

In any case, this desperate cry only meant one thing, that is, the October Revolution led to a civil war, and this was the fundamental reason for his opposition to the October Revolution, and now the only way to restore peace to Russia was to lay down his arms, sit down calmly and negotiate, and strive for the establishment of a new coalition government.

And he, Kamenev, is willing to act as an intermediary, willing to work hard to run errands, for the sake of peace and the Russian people, exhausting him to death a happy million.

Did Lenin think about compromising with the White Army, with the Social Revolutionaries, with the Mensheviks? This is absolutely impossible, so for this set advocated by Kamenev. He was quite disgusted, and he almost let the goods go rough.

So at the first time Lenin refused: "You go and sue him, I don't have the time, I don't have the need, and I don't want to see him!" ”

But Trotsky went to stop him: "Let's meet him, I'm afraid there is a reason why he came out of this mouth!" ”

Lenin sighed, thought for a long time, and then said: "Then I will go and meet him and see if this stone is as stubborn as ever!" ”

Kamenev was in a good mood, although the base camp of his activities was Petrograd, but because of his unique political position. This made him have a good relationship with the Mensheviks. The two sides are in close contact. Therefore, the first time I knew about the lower reaches of the Don River. And the scorching battle situation there made this thing overjoyed, and he felt that this was a good opportunity for him to return to the center of politics!

Immediately. He came straight to Lenin. He believes in difficult situations. Lenin should no longer insist on that unreasonable toughness, and should have opened his ears to the right opinions.

"Sit down!" Lenin coldly pointed to the sofa in his office and asked, "Hurry to see me." Is there a problem to reflect? ”

Lenin's cold tone made Kamenev unhappy for a while, but in order to make a comeback, he could only pinch his nose and admit it. He felt that as long as he brought about peace, it would be difficult to say who would be the master in the future!

"That's right," said Kamenev, clearing his throat, "I heard that a fierce battle broke out in the lower reaches of the Don, and that corpses were scattered all over the field and rivers of blood flowed? ”

Lenin did not like these two adjectives, but in order to find out what Kamenev meant, he endured his unhappiness and said: "The Red Army did suppress bandits in the Don Valley, what's wrong?" ”

What's the matter, the three words fully explain the current mood of the mentor, but Kamenev only thinks about his own affairs, so he doesn't hear it, and he stupidly teases his old man.

"Comrade Lenin, you are clear about my consistent attitude. I have always adhered to the strategy of peaceful nation-building, and only through communication and dialogue can we understand each other, and no problem can be solved by force. From the beginning of the October Revolution, our Party has gone along the wrong radical line and tried to change the status quo by violence...... And the result? The events of the Don River and Ukraine have fully demonstrated that countering violence with violence is not the best policy, and that the indiscriminate use of violence will only make violence more widespread, which is an endless vicious circle, and now is the time to correct this mistake......"

Lenin really wanted to brush his sleeves away, what kind of is this, will the broom leave automatically if it doesn't get dust? Talking about peace with an enemy who is armed to the teeth and shouting and killing is tantamount to seeking the skin of a tiger. You bastard seems to be stubborn and unrepentant, and you will have to bow your knees to the bourgeoisie at this time! You're really not a good thing!!

Lenin coldly asked: "How can mistakes be corrected?" ”

Kamenev couldn't wait to say: "Immediately stop the military operation, the two sides will start a dialogue, and solve the problem through negotiations!" ”

In fact, Kamenev was too anxious and too urgent, because just now Lenin did not finish talking at all, and after the question "how to correct mistakes", there is actually a sentence: "What mistakes are corrected!" ”

But Kamenev interrupted Lenin in a hurry to speak, and even he was proud in his own heart! He felt that Lenin had relented and surrendered to him in disguise. I'm going to be happy to give this thing so beautiful that I have to make snot bubbles!

He said happily: "Comrade Lenin, knowing one's mistakes can make great improvements, and in the initial stage of the revolution, making mistakes is also a meaningful exploration!" I think that as long as you take the initiative to correct your mistakes, you are a good comrade! It deserves praise! ”

Lenin almost didn't laugh out loud, and said in his heart: "Nima, did you kid drink too much or did you take the wrong medicine?" Where did I admit that I was wrong? I really want to blind your eyes! ”

Lenin was about to say a few words to get the fuck off, but Trotsky suddenly burst in. Unlike Lenin's coldness, Lao Tuo seemed very enthusiastic and greeted affectionately: "Comrade Kamenev, I haven't seen you for a long time!" How are you doing? Don't stop participating in organizational life just because you're angry! Everyone is gay, and it is normal to have different opinions...... I have always advocated that different opinions within the party should be allowed! ”

Lenin's face twitched, not knowing what Trotsky was playing, especially what he was doing with the unashamed Kamenev. A fool like this who doesn't know the height of the sky should be beaten out directly with a stick, and TM allows him to express different opinions.

Trotsky gave Lenin a slightly reassuring look in his veil. Then continue to warmly entertain Kamenev, that affectionate appearance, so that outsiders may think that he and Kamenev are good friends!

"Comrade Kamenev, I appreciate your proposal to settle the dispute by peaceful means. But I also have a doubt, that it was the White Bandits and the Socialist-Revolutionaries and the Mensheviks who were the first to start the civil war, even if we Bolsheviks repeatedly did our work and repeatedly shouted in the newspapers, and they turned a deaf ear to the construction of peace. In my opinion. To win the peace. How can you be sure that they have a desire for peace? ”

This was what Kamenev was waiting for, and he could not wait to say: "I have always been associated with the Mensheviks and the Socialist-Revolutionaries ......" before the beginning. He immediately realized that something was wrong. Quickly changed his words: "I've always tried to talk to them. I continue to move them with affection and reason, and after my unremitting efforts, I have finally made a breakthrough. A window was opened! ”

Kamenev was happy to himself, not at all aware that Lenin and Trotsky were secretly exchanging glances, these two were really good friends, and they could figure out what each other meant with a few glances.

Lenin, who understood what Trotsky wanted to do, simply stopped talking, because he really couldn't get used to Kamenev's face, for fear that if he opened his mouth, he would mess things up. Since Trotsky was not afraid of disgust, let him be vain!

Trotsky smiled and asked, "Oh? You have done so much work without realizing it, and it is worth admiring. So what kind of breakthroughs have been made? ”

In fact, Kamenev is also talking nonsense, it is true that he has communicated with the Mensheviks and the Social Revolutionaries, but it is not a breakthrough at all. The differences between them and the Bolsheviks were still like a trench, and at most they were generous to others, and they were playing a trick of fooling at both ends with the promise of some conditions behind the backs of the central government.

Kamenev glanced at Lenin with some smugness, and really didn't know where he got his pride. I saw that he said with some excitement: "I am sure to persuade them to return to the negotiating table, and I am also sure to persuade them to give up further military action!" ”

Trotsky thought for a moment and asked: "What does the Central Committee need to pay?" ”

Kamenev began to gear up, excitedly saying: "Quite simply, first of all, to recognize the legitimacy of the last Constituent Assembly, and secondly, to promise to disband the workers' armed forces and abandon the Brest ......"

Kamenev talked so much that he didn't notice that neither Lenin nor Trotsky could have agreed to the first two items, let alone a whole bunch of harsh conditions that followed.

Trotsky, however, remained calm, and the expression on his face did not show his contempt for these harsh conditions. I heard him ask very calmly, "Then what promises will they make?" ”

Kamenev thought that Trotsky had been moved by him, and said happily: "They will promise to suspend military offensive operations, to recognize the legitimacy of our party, and to promise to retain our legitimate seat in the future coalition government......

Trotsky coughed dryly, for he couldn't help himself, and felt that something must be wrong with Kamenev's nerves, otherwise he could say such crazy things? The White Army has a bullshit military offensive, and even if the encirclement of the Don River is unsuccessful, the overall strength of the Red Army still occupies an absolute advantage, and it is a big deal to reorganize and replan, catch up with it and beat the White Army again. His grandmother's, what capital do you have to pick and choose here and be ashamed?

In particular, the recognition of the legitimacy of the Bolsheviks and the retention of their legitimate seats were the funniest jokes Trotsky had ever heard. Lao Tzu is now in charge of a qiē, the master of the house, do you need to admit it? Can I use your alms? These words are almost inseparable from Lao Tzu.

Anyway, Trotsky was sure that Kamenev's mind was full of stones, and that only a madman would agree to such a shit condition, and only a completely brainless person would say it in front of him and Lenin.

Trotsky despised Kamenev in his heart, but said: "Are you sure you can get the White Army to suspend military operations?" ”

Kamenev patted his chest and said: "There is no problem at all, as long as the Central Committee agrees to the above conditions, I guarantee with my personality, and the White Army will suspend military operations for one qiē!" ”

Trotsky and Lenin looked at each other again, and finally Trotsky said: "It is impossible for the Central Committee to agree to their conditions in their entirety, some of them are too harsh. It is impossible for the central government to accept! ”

Kamenev was a little unhappy, and just as he was about to say something, Trotsky said: "Our opinion is that first ceasefire, then negotiations, and a solution to the problem through negotiations!" ”

Kamenev turned his elbow outward, and he said a little unhappily: "I took a lot of effort to persuade them to agree to these conditions, and if they didn't agree, the negotiations would not be able to start at all!" ”

Trotsky said in his heart: "If the Central Committee agrees to these shit conditions, it will talk about a fart sentence!" But on the bright side, he smiled: "If that's the case." There will be no basis for negotiation between us. The central government will not accept these coercions. Only a ceasefire and then negotiations will be the fundamental way to solve the problem! ”

Kamenev was a little upset, and Lenin spoke at this time: "I completely agree with Comrade Trotsky, cease fire first and then negotiate. This is non-negotiable. If they don't agree. Then let's keep fighting. Let's see who exterminates whom! ”

Kamenev hurried away, busy with the cause of peace negotiations. He had absolutely no idea that he had just walked out of Lenin's office. Lenin and Trotsky invariably began to laugh at him.

"This Kamenev, do you think he's crazy? This kind of shit-like conditions dare to tell us. Isn't he still confused about reality? ”

Lenin said contemptuously: "It is not that he is ignorant of reality, but that he is unwilling to abandon that deep-rooted prejudice and to admit the correctness of the armed struggle of the proletariat...... He has hypochondriasis and can't stand up straight at all, so he can only kneel as a dog! ”

Trotsky only smiled at Lenin's comments and did not echo them, because Kamenev was, after all, Lenin's right-hand man, Lenin's closest comrade-in-arms and assistant. There was nothing wrong with Lenin criticizing him or even scolding him, that was an internal matter of Lenin's faction. But if he, an outsider, talks a lot, I'm afraid he will be suspected of slapping his face.

Trotsky turned the subject back and asked: "Is he capable of persuading the White Army to suspend military operations and settle the matter through negotiations?" ”

Lenin snorted and said contemptuously: "With what I know about him, it is unlikely. After the October Revolution, he also took it upon himself to negotiate with the Iron Chief, and you can see the results. I think this time he is still wishful thinking, whether it is the Socialist-Revolutionaries, the Mensheviks or the old officers, it is impossible to give up their vested interests! The reality of Russia dictates that only one of us can survive! ”

Lenin's assertions are resounding, and in the long run, his judgments are largely accurate. But at the moment, he does underestimate Kamenev's ability a little. finally grabbed a life-saving straw, and Kamenev naturally did not give up easily.

He did everything in his power to impress the Socialist-Revolutionaries and the Mensheviks, and took the law of deception to the extreme, and even managed to obtain a reasonably reasonable condition -- to settle differences through negotiations.

"What about the truce?"

Trotsky was not interested in negotiations, and the main purpose of his grinding of teeth with Kamenev was to cease the war first, so that as long as he could fool the Czech Corps and Krasnov into stopping military operations, then he could buy time for the main forces of the Red Army. As long as the group of goods is surrounded, it will be up to him to be happy in the end.

Kamenev said solemnly: "Mr. Savinkov said that there can be no truce without accepting their conditions. ”

Trotsky pouted: "What's the use of negotiating without a fight?" ”

Kamenev hurriedly said: "Of course it is useful, it is completely possible to reach a consensus through negotiations, and then the purpose of the armistice will naturally be reached." ”

Suddenly Trotsky lost interest, and said with some interest: "Is it? ”

"Of course," Kamenev was very interested, and was infinitely optimistic about the prospects of the negotiations, and even took the initiative to ask: "I am willing to act as a negotiator and personally go to Ufa to exchange views with Mr. Savinkov, I believe ......"

Trotsky looked at Kamenev, who could not understand the situation, and was angry and funny, and sarcastically said: "Then hurry up and act!" We've been waiting for your good news! ”

Kamenev didn't hear that this was angry and sarcastic, and immediately stood up, walked away happily with his briefcase, and did not assure Trotsky as he left: "I will live up to the expectations of the Central Committee!" Mission completion guaranteed! ”

"Comrade Trotsky, what's wrong with Kamenev?"

Before Li Xiaofeng walked into Trotsky's office, he had a face-to-face with Kamenev, who was so proud that his chin was raised, and all kinds of white eyes and all kinds of contempt were thrown at a certain immortal.

Li Xiaofeng wondered, can a dead dog turn over? Could it be that the old trust promised to give this goods something?

"Leave that idiot alone!" Trotsky, remembering that someone was also disappointed, hurried straight to the point, asking: "What is the matter with you coming to me?" ”

Li Xiaofeng took out a copy of the paper, handed it to Trotsky, and said: "According to the information I have received, the Finnish White Army will launch a large-scale military operation in conjunction with the German intervention forces, the purpose of which is to crush Comrade Kuusinen's Red Guards in one fell swoop...... I think it is necessary to warn Comrade Kuusinin to be wary of a sudden attack by the enemy. Moreover, could the Finnish Red Guards avoid a decisive battle with the enemy as much as possible? ”

Trotsky frowned and asked incredulously: "Why avoid the decisive battle?" As far as I know, during this period Comrade Kuusinin armed a large number of workers with the weapons of our assistance. The strength of the Finnish Red Guards got by leaps and bounds. Wouldn't it be nice to fight the enemy in a decisive battle at this time and solve the Finnish problem once and for all? (To be continued......)
