Trotsky only laughed at Sverdlov's so-called strategy, because he thought that it exposed Sverdlov's essence, and it was clear from the words of this strategy that he still did not understand the importance of the Eastern Revolution, especially the subversive significance of the Chinese Revolution. In essence, Sverdlov's revolutionary strategy was still to put the west first and then the east, and the reason why he did not dare to fully support the T Communist Party was simply that he felt that the pressure on the Chinese side was too great, and the gains were too small to gain.

Lao Tuo shook the report in his hand and said to Radek very contemptuously: "Yakov is finished, his overall situation and his foresight are not enough to lead our party forward. Before he even stepped onto the ring, he was already beaten by Andre. Petrovich beaten! ”

Lao Tuo was indeed a little disappointed, he deliberately thought that Yagoda had leaked the news that he attached great importance to Huaxia in order to guide Sverdlov on the right path. At that time, he thought that Xiao Si was just a momentary fool, and if he went to Huaxia and saw the activity and potential of the T Communist Party, he would return to the right path.

But to Trotsky's astonishment, Sverdlov went on a trip to the East and then rushed headlong into another point of no return. Your eyes are only focused on the size of noodles, how can your vision be so narrow. Can't you see a vast space with a territory of 10 million square kilometers and a population of more than 400 million? You actually said that bad county is more meaningful than Huaxia, why don't you go to ****!

Anyway, in a fit of rage, Trotsky was eager to cut out Sverdlov's eyeballs and throw them into the dung pit, and since you are of no use to Akiko, don't stay on the face plate and take a place. What else can you do with your imagination!

Trotsky was so angry that he wanted to wake up Sverdlov and make him see the importance of China, so that Sverdlov would be with someone on the Chinese question, so that someone would not dominate the family in the future. After all, his Trotskyism is now in the adjustment period, and it needs time to train the next generation, only Sverdlov and someone are on a par, and he will have a chance to breathe on his side, if Li Xiaofeng is allowed to dominate the world, then he will still play a fart in the future!

But what left Trotsky speechless was that Sverdlov turned out to be a blind man, and with his political sensitivity on the Chinese question, even if he dragged Sverdlov back this time, what would happen later? He will retire next year, where are there so many opportunities to show Xiao Si the way.

Anyway, in Trotsky's view, Sverdlov may be beaten by Li Xiaofeng in the future, and how to ensure the survival of the Trotskyists in this situation, he must think carefully about it, after all, Xiao Si is too muddy to support the wall.

Trotsky was thinking about the course of the future, while Sverdlov was feeling quite good, not expecting that his future had been condemned to death by the old Toll. At this time, he was visiting Lenin and handed over the concocted report to Lenin for his personal review, in fact, the meaning was very simple, on the one hand, he wanted to win Lenin's support, and on the other hand, he also wanted to ask for praise, which was nothing more than to say: "Master Teacher, you can see that I have done a good job!" ”

So what was Lenin's expression? It should be said that Lenin had no expression, and he kept focusing on these pieces of paper, turning them over and over again, as if trying to write down every word on them.

Lenin's concentration made Sverdlov a little proud, and in his opinion, Lenin's concentration on his report did not mean that the Mentor attached great importance to his conclusions. That's a great thing!

Is it?

I'm afraid not, it is true that Lenin, as Sverdlov said, did attach great importance to Sverdlov's report, but it does not mean that it is a good thing, let alone an agreement.

On the contrary, in Lenin's view, the report was not so problematic that he had to read it carefully over and over again to find out what Sverdlov was thinking. Otherwise, he really didn't know what to say.

Half an hour later, when Sverdlov was a little impatient, Lenin finally raised his head, took off his glasses, slowly put the report on the desk, and asked calmly but full of oppression: "Are you bringing this report for me to review?" Or has it already been communicated? ”

Note that Lenin's question is quite important, because the answer given by Sverdlov will directly determine the attitude that Lenin will adopt in the future. What's the difference? If Sverdlov had said that it had been given to Lenin for review, then Lenin would have given Sverdlov a slap in the face and completely rejected his report, because it was so bad that in Lenin's opinion, everything from the idea to the argument was, and there was no way to read it, let alone implement it as a program.

It's just that Sverdlov didn't fully understand what Lenin was saying at this time, because he himself was very proud of it, and the report was indeed sent out, and ****** each member of the committee had a copy. So his answer was: "It has been circulated within the ******, and the comrades are discussing it......"

Sverdlov didn't notice that this answer made Lenin's face a little pale, and for a moment the tutor's hands trembled a little, and there was silence for about thirty seconds before Lenin exhaled a turbid breath and said slowly: "In this case, then I'll take a look, the opinions of other comrades have come out, you can tell me again!" ”

Sverdlov was a little stunned, because at this time he also saw that Lenin's state was not normal, and it seemed that there was something wrong with this report? Thinking of this, Sverdlov hurriedly said: "Comrade Lenin, I still want to hear your opinion first. Your political foresight is foresight, and I must learn more from you in this regard! ”

Lenin's expression was a little strange, on the surface he was silent, but in this silence there seemed to be a flame burning, and the teacher gave people the feeling that he was about to explode.

After another silence, Lenin seemed to force himself to press down on the flame, and he said slowly: "I am old, and my thinking skills are not as good as before. Now you young people are in charge, and there are some issues that don't have to be consulted on everything, and I'm just an ordinary revolutionary, and everyone is always better at brainstorming than me. ”

Sverdlov also failed to "pry open" Lenin's mouth in the end, and he left Lenin's residence with a hint of unease and confusion. But what he didn't know was that after he was gone, Lenin lost his temper.

"He has publicly distributed it to ******, and what is he doing with it? What's the use of that! Immature! Stupidity! ”

After all, Sverdlov is an important assistant to Lenin and one of his successors, and Xiao Si has always respected his mentor before, so it is inappropriate to scold others like this at this time, right?

Lenin jumped to his feet and roared: "Am I scolding him? I hate iron but not steel! As he spoke, he tore the report on the table to shreds: "What the hell is this?" What's the use! He came to me under the banner of respect, asking for praise. But how can I praise him for this thing, ****! ”

Lenin was really angry, because what Sverdlov did made him quite sad. In his opinion, if Sverdlov really respected the opinion of his mentor, he should not have come to him with a shy face after circulating the report to ******. Obviously, Sverdlov didn't really take his retired mentor seriously. If you really respect him and sincerely ask him for advice, then you should first ask for his opinion and then circulate the report.

Sverdlov's process was reversed, which meant that he did not take Lenin's opinion seriously at all, and took a step back to understand it with the best kindness, and only put Lenin on an equal footing with the other members of the ******.

Of course, this was not the reason why Lenin was really angry, and from the moment he retreated, he had the consciousness of downplaying the influence. If Sverdlov's report had really done well, he wouldn't have been so annoyed. The fundamental reason for Lenin's thunderstorm is: Sverdlov made a very **** report, and happily took it out to let him, the mentor, accompany the ****, you say disgusting or not.

Obviously, Sverdlov's approach was to let Lenin help wave the flag and shout for his report, and in Lenin's opinion, didn't he just pull him with him? Lenin struggled for most of his life to achieve his current success and prestige, and when he was older, half of his body was about to be buried in the ground, and even if he had eaten a lifetime, how could he be willing to use a bowl of dog meat to die?

Therefore, he had to focus on asking Xiao Si whether the report had been issued, and if it was not issued, he would naturally criticize Xiao Si for completely extinguishing the report and starting again. Unfortunately, the report was already "widely circulated", which made it impossible for Lenin to eradicate this bad thing in its infancy. And Sverdlov meant to ask Lenin to wave his flag and shout, what do you say about this to Lenin?

At this time, even if Lenin scolded Sverdlov and asked him to take back the report, it would be useless. Because the bad influence has been spread, it is equivalent to the water that has been spilled and cannot be recovered. Moreover, let the outside world know that he Lenin severely criticized Sverdlov, what will ****** and ********** think, and Sverdlov will not be even more faceless and prestigious.

After all, Sverdlov is the core of the next leadership, and although his prestige as this core is not enough, Lenin still has to defend Sverdlov. Naturally, you can't say anything. Neither can criticize nor praise, Lenin can only hold back, do you say he is annoyed or not?

It can only be said that Sverdlov made a bad move, or that he was too self-righteous about his own ideas, thinking that the strategy of Europe first and then Asia was unquestionable and naturally correct, and then he took it for granted and implemented it as a matter of course.

So let's go back and see, what is wrong with Europe first and then Asia? From the point of view of economic strength and political status, Europe at this time was indeed still the center of the world, where the economic level was higher and the power of the proletariat was stronger, which indeed conformed to the description of the source of revolution in the classic theory of Marxism-Leninism.

However, classical theories are always just theories, and if classical theories were so invincible, Marx, who created them, would not have died or made a workers' revolution. The thinkers and revolutionaries who later studied these classical theories encountered problems every time they tried to copy them.

Therefore, theory is always just theory, and it is not necessarily completely related to reality. For example, according to classical Marxist theory, the proletarian revolution should not have broken out in Russia first, and the working class in England and France was stronger, and the conditions were better for them.

But the facts only beat the classical theory, and the proletarian revolution was the first to succeed in Russia, leaving countless people who ridiculed and ridiculed the Bolsheviks in the face. Why?

Some people say that the Bolsheviks and Lenin were too cunning and ruthless, and that they stole power by despicable means. Some people simply say that this is an accident, and that it is an accidental factor that is at work.

But is this true? In Lenin's view, the victory of the Russian revolution was particularly inevitable, the imperialist war had greatly weakened the reactionary forces in Russia, and it was true that the Russian proletariat was not strong enough, but as long as it was stronger than the weak reactionary forces, it could have won the victory!

The same principle applies to China, where the power of the working class is simply miserable, and there is no industry at all, where can there be any working class? But the working class is only a part of the proletariat, and when the seemingly backward peasant class has exploded with enough enthusiasm for the revolution (or the land), who can stop the hundreds of millions of peasants who have risen up? Jiang tried to stop the car with his mantis arm, but what happened? was stunned by the mud legs of a group of turtles.

Then look back at the reactionary forces in China, are they really as powerful as they imagined? Compared with the imperialist hooligans such as Britain, the United States, and France, do they see enough? Of course, it is not enough to measure the working class in China by European standards, but you can't only use European standards to measure the working class in China, but also use European standards to measure the reactionary classes in China.

Sverdlov made a similar mistake, using high standards when looking at the T Communist Party and low standards when judging the enemies of the T Communist Party, looking only at the negative side and not thinking about the favorable factors. How can the final result be objective?

When he returned to Europe, he reversed himself, reveling in the illusory power of the European working class when he looked at his own people, forgetting that the hostile forces were even stronger. How can such a selective approach to the problem lead to the right conclusions?

Lenin, on the other hand, made it clear through the October Revolution that the more underdeveloped and exploited the place, the more marketable the revolutionary theory became, and that the people living in dire straits did not lack the urge to play with their lives. Wasn't that the case with the Russian Revolution, when the common people were disgusted with imperialist wars and with little food and clothing, no force could stop them from rising up.

Looking at Europe again, it is true that the working class is numerically strong, but it is undeniable that the workers' living conditions have improved through strikes and other legal means in these years of struggle, and the most basic needs for survival can be satisfied. can eat a full stomach and have a slight surplus, who is willing to play with life in this state? Obviously, the motivation is insufficient!

Besides, what is Europe like now? It is appropriate to describe it as a waste waiting to be rebuilt, for Europeans who have had enough of the agony of war, what is urgently needed is stability, and the country's ruling party is united to the left, who will go to revolution?

If, on the other hand, the propaganda revolution of the Soviet Union was to be counterproductive, and to be regarded as a neo-imperialist act that undermined the peaceful expansion of its sphere of influence, it would not be self-defeating to the people!

Lenin believed that the revolutionary upsurge in Europe was not the first or two years after the war, but that revolution could only be talked about when the problems of the European countries had erupted in a concentrated manner, when the ruling party was far from satisfying the urgent needs of the people. It is necessary to let the discontent slowly ferment and the proletariat to become angry, so that there is a revolutionary impetus!

At present, and even in the next year or two, Lenin considered the time to be premature. The war has just ended, and people still have beautiful illusions about their future lives, thinking about how to live a good life without shame or shame, and where can they be in the mood to go to the revolution!

Lenin also believed that the revolution in Europe would come, and after studying the economic situation in Europe, he concluded that the imperialist economic policies of Britain and France could not be played, and that the system was facing a reshuffle, and that the United States would not allow Britain and France to continue to eat the old books of the colonies in a big way, and that as the upstarts, they would inevitably eat the best portion. And to do that, we will definitely start to suppress Britain and France, and let that system collapse, so that the United States can build a new system as a savior.

Therefore, in the first five years after the war, life in Europe will be more difficult, and when this difficulty reaches a certain level, it is really suitable to carry out revolution. And now Sverdlov is really in a hurry, and he is a little bit of a hurry.

On the contrary, Asia seems to be underdeveloped, it seems that the working class is not strong enough, and it seems that imperialism is eyeing it, but in reality the revolutionary situation is better. After more than 100 years of oppression, along with the flood of national liberation ideology, the common people of various Asian countries have an urgent desire to oppose colonialism and imperialism, they hate the local interest groups that act as the spokesmen of imperialism, and they are eager to overthrow them to the ground and start a new life. After the attrition of the two world wars, the traditional old imperialisms such as Britain, France, Belgium and the Netherlands have been greatly weakened, and their ability to control the colonies is much less than before. And as freedom and equality become more and more deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, this oppressive method of sucking blood from the colonies can no longer be tolerated by the world, and they have no moral advantage.

The result of the combination of these two factors is that if they still try to deal with the colonial resistance by force as before, they may not be able to do so. This weakness is even more evident in China, which already has a revolutionary foundation.

Lenin believed that the Chinese revolution could have succeeded even without the support of the Soviet Union, and that the Chinese revolution would have succeeded much more quickly without the support of the Soviet Union. The success of the Chinese Revolution will open up a chain reaction, and those places similar to China, whether colonial or semi-colonial, with the example of China's success, will naturally be able to strengthen their confidence, and they will be more courageous and enthusiastic to join the revolution.

Perhaps this is nothing in Sverdlov's opinion, and in his opinion the revolution in the colonies and semi-colonies is a petty fight and not worth mentioning. But Lenin argued that on the contrary, what was the reason why imperialism was able to remain strong for almost two hundred years? That's sucking blood from the colony!

If the chain of imperialism to suck blood and replenish itself is broken, all the prosperity of imperialism will be ended, and when all this collapses, will imperialism still exist? The substructure determines the superstructure, and Sverdlov's idea is to attack the superstructure directly, to break it and destroy it, which is not ordinarily difficult.

Lenin did not think that this method was advisable, and that it was better to dig into the wall and dig the foundation of imperialism than to fight hard, and if he could not stand firmly, he would naturally fall! The revolution in the colonies and semi-colonies was to dig into the wall and break the industrial chain that imperialism could endure to survive, and imperialism would naturally come to an end.

And now, Sverdlov not only did not realize this, but tried to deny it, is it not short-sighted? Isn't this stupid? Can this keep Lenin from being angry?

That is, Lenin also saved face for him, otherwise this trip to Sverdlov would not be disgraced but bloody.

It's just that Sverdlov didn't realize this mistake, he couldn't figure out why Lenin didn't appreciate his report, and even had the ridiculous idea that Lenin had turned his back on the ideals of the world revolution and was content with the status quo.

Of course, Lenin was also very disappointed in Sverdlov, and the mentor could not understand why he was so short-sighted and so naïve in his methods of struggle. Even with the mentor began to worry about the future of the Leninists, even Sverdlov was not strong enough and not reliable enough, so can the young people behind really be reliable?

Anyway, in those days, Lenin had another nervous breakdown, and no amount of sleeping pills he took helped. It was only after the end of the next regular ****** session, when he informed them, the old comrades, of the spirit of the meeting that Lenin breathed a sigh of relief.

At this ****** meeting, Sverdlov's ideas were refuted by Li Xiaofeng and Trotsky. In the end****** not only rejected Sverdlov's report, but also made a resolution to strengthen the Asian revolution and support the revolutionary struggle in the colonies and semi-colonies led by the Communist Party. In this resolution, ****** held that the T Communist Party had the most important and crucial position for the future Asian revolution, and that it was necessary to promote the revolution in China first......
