After getting Bunakov, Muralov breathed a sigh of relief, in his opinion, this is already an iron case, as long as Bunakov is nailed, the next thing to do is to go along the vine and wipe out all the henchmen of this goods.

Of course, Muralov didn't care how much counter-revolutionary force he could fight, he just thought that Bunakov's fall would be a signal that would tell the remaining Mensheviks and Socialist-Revolutionaries in Moscow that the world had changed, that the world was already Bolshevik, and that you had better be honest, because if you weren't honest, Bunakov would be a lesson for you.

Yes, Muralov is very optimistic that his thunderous hand will shock these restless fellows, so that they will no longer dare to blatantly follow the Bolsheviks, without these gangs of goods, he can put all his energy into sorting out the Moscow Party Committee, if he moves fast enough, the Moscow Party Committee will be surnamed Muralov in the future.

I have to say that Muralov's idea is very naïve, not to mention whether the Mensheviks and the Socialist-Revolutionaries will be deterred, that is, the surname of the Moscow Party Committee is Muralov, which is a great luxury. It can be predicted that whether it is now, or for a long time in the future, Moscow must and must be surnamed Ulyanov, and only the mentor is the boss!

Of course, Muralov was just proud for a while, that is, he felt that he could finally be regarded as the number one person in the party, he was just too happy, and he still didn't have the heart of disobedience. It can only be said that he was happy too early, everyone is red on this piece of fat in Moscow, and no one will let it go easily, Stalin will not. Neither will Sverdlov. Even Trotsky began to take an interest.

In a little earlier. Trotsky, who coveted Moscow, finally couldn't hold back and finally extended his criminal black hand to Moscow......

"I don't think the situation in Moscow is very good!" Trotsky said indignantly, "Without sufficient reason, three Dumas were arrested in broad daylight, and then a bloody case was provoked at the door of the party committee, and at this pace, Moscow does not know what kind of basket will come out of the road!" ”

At the plenary session of the Politburo, when the development of the situation is discussed. Trotsky's sudden criticism of the state of affairs in Moscow by name seemed painful to see his arrogance.

"Now the Mensheviks, the Socialist-Revolutionaries and the Cadets are strongly protesting against us, and they strongly condemn the actions of the Moscow Party Committee, believing that we are attacking dissidents on trumped-up charges, and they are shouting in the newspapers and magazines, which has caused quite a bad effect. The foreign ministers of the United Kingdom, France, and the United States have expressed their concerns about this matter to me, and hope that we can give a reasonable explanation as soon as possible! ”

Sverdlov had been watching Trotsky's performances with a cold eye, and he felt like a mirror in his heart, that all protests and denunciations were all excuses. Is our party less protested and condemned by them? From the outbreak of the October Revolution, no matter how the uprising was going on. Or after the victory, they are all constantly making a lot of noise, and there are fewer ugly words? At that time, how did you, the People's Commissar for Foreign Affairs, deal with it, either ignore it or make a fierce rebuttal, and almost sprayed saliva in people's faces.

Why, a little episode happened in Moscow, a few suspects were arrested, and people casually protested two sentences without contribution, and you, the hard-necked People's Commissar of Foreign Affairs, couldn't sit still, and began to shout out that your friends were surprised! You just don't have a good heart, you just want to interfere in Moscow's affairs under the guise of this, Nima, it's shameless!

So at that time, Sverdlov sneered and sneered: "Reasonable explanation? Isn't the explanation we give reasonable? The comrades in Moscow are handling cases in accordance with the law, and judging from the evidence they have, the three Duma's arrested are involved in the Venter's anti-party case. What is surprising about our comrades' fair, reasonable, and law-abiding work? What's unreasonable? ”

Trotsky glanced at the sneering Sverdlov and was mentally prepared to deal with Sverdlov from the moment he was determined to meddle in Moscow's affairs. If he cannot be defeated, there will be no talk of fighting for greater rights and interests in Moscow.

"That's a mistake!" Trotsky immediately said, "Judging from the evidence we have, the three Dumas are only suspects, and if there is a suspicion, they must be arrested immediately, and if they are suspected, they can be openly arrested." I believe that when our comrades carry out their work, they must pay attention to ways and methods, and they must not act recklessly! I think there is a better and more reasonable way to deal with this matter, and it is completely possible to avoid causing this turmoil...... For the head of the task force investigating the Venterle case, his method of dealing with the problem must be improved! Otherwise, it is irresponsible to the party and comrades! ”

How could Sverdlov be frightened by such a bunch of big words and empty words, he smiled and sneered: "Is the working method of being responsible to the party and comrades to let the murderer go unpunished? I must remind Comrade Trotsky that the vast majority of the comrades in the Moscow Central Executive Committee have been kidnapped by the counter-revolutionaries and their lives are unknown, and if we do not simply and decisively find evidence and catch the suspects, their lives will be at risk over time! It is precisely because we are responsible to the Party and our comrades that we must take resolute action! Compared with the enemy's painless invective, we should pay more attention to the safety of the lives of these comrades! ”

"You ......" Trotsky really did not expect that Sverdlov would make a fuss about the matter, after all, in the eyes of an old fox like him, it is more likely that the disappeared members of the Central Executive Committee were the work of some immortal, and subconsciously neglected their personal safety. But now Sverdlov is making a fuss about this, using this to affirm the rationality of a certain immortal's approach, which is really a bit disgusting.

But what about disgusting people? Trotsky could not deny this, he just could not say that the life and safety of the Moscow Central Executive Committee were not important. And in order to ensure the safety of comrades' lives, it is forgivable to take any means, what is it to be scolded for a few words?

Trotsky hated it so much that he had to find another breakthrough: "And how can we explain the bloody case at the door of the party committee?" There were 10 or 20 casualties, and the impact was quite bad. This makes us extremely passive ......"

Sverdlov interrupted him again unceremoniously: "Comrade Trotsky. I want you to pay attention to it. Your so-called 'bloody case' is nothing more than an accidental traffic accident, and judging from the relevant evidence, it is nothing more than an accident. And I must remind you that the people who have been making this bloody case are the rightists who have been making unreasonable and innocent attacks on our party lately - Bunakov and his driver are fully responsible for this! ”

Trotsky, of course, knew that the so-called bloody case was nothing more than an accident, but he needed this accident, an excuse to interfere in Moscow's affairs. And Sverdlov kept contradicting him and embarrassed him everywhere, and immediately he became angry: "Isn't the Moscow Party Committee responsible?" If it weren't for their reckless actions, there would have been no protests, the party committee would not have been surrounded, and naturally there would have been no traffic accidents, and it is precisely because of their poor handling that things have worsened so much that they are out of control! Isn't that their responsibility? ”

Sverdlov was rather disdainful of Trotsky's anger. Anger is awesome? Anger can explode into a small universe? Look at none of these excuses for your wrath, none of them stand up to scrutiny. What's even more is, are you a Bolshevik or a Cadet? Where is your ass sitting?

"This is the most ridiculous, no, the most absurd theory I've ever heard!" Sverdlov immediately opened the taunt, "What kind of strange theory is our enemy making trouble, detaining and spilling in our party committee, scolding and beating people, and then it is they themselves who cause traffic accidents, and as a result, the responsibility is on the heads of the Moscow party committee and the task force?" If you want me to say, they simply deserve it, and they have been punished by heaven! The only thing that the Moscow Party Committee did wrong in the incident was that it did not take decisive measures against this group of vexatious bastards from the beginning, and should have dispersed them at the beginning, and arrested all the bastards who made trouble. ”

The atmosphere in the meeting room was very strange, and everyone could see that Trotsky and Sverdlov were on the tip of the needle. Of course, this is not a strange place, as the boss of the two major factions in the party, in order to protect the interests of their own side, it is not surprising that the two sides are in a mess, and the strange thing is that except for the two of them, everyone else is silent - why are they just pinching each other?

This phenomenon seems to be rather strange, because even if there is to be a conflict, if there is to be a confrontation, it should be Trotsky to Lenin, so that the status is equal. In any case, Sverdlov is just Lenin's little brother, and it is understandable that the younger brother plays forward, but the boss of the family has appeared, and Lenin should go out in person.

But everyone saw the situation just now, the mentor sat firmly on the Diaoyutai without saying a word, and the other Leninist junior brother Stalin was also smoking and pretending to be deep, and the two of them completely hung up on their own affairs, and let Sverdlov work alone, without any intention of helping.

Such an attitude is strange, it stands to reason that Trotsky's intentions are obvious, that he wants to meddle in Moscow's affairs, that is, he is uneasy and kind, so as the greatest beneficiary of Moscow's political interests, the Leninists should be united in their own interests in order to protect their own interests.

But now it seems as if Sverdlov was the only one who cared about Moscow, and the rest of Lenin and Stalin didn't seem to care at all. That's weird, isn't it?

Is it weird? In fact, it is not strange at all, it seems strange that Stalin and Lenin did not make a move, but in fact it is quite normal. Needless to say, Stalin and Sverdlov were in constant trouble in Moscow, and the two sides almost turned their faces, and if it weren't for the pressure of the mentor, it is estimated that an all-out military exercise would have been staged.

So, it's normal that he doesn't speak for Sverdlov - Lao Tzu's power in Moscow was miserably pitted by you Sverdlov, and now you still want me to help you speak, dreaming? If you don't fall into the trap, staying neutral is enough to be worthy of you!

As for the mentor who didn't speak, the reason is a little more complicated, first of all, Sverdlov's advantage in Moscow is too great, especially after the Venter's case, the light is shining and there is a faint momentum of high merit, at this time, there is someone to find trouble with him, and it is a good thing to suppress him, at least so that Sverdlov will not get carried away;

Secondly, in the confrontation just now, Trotsky did not take advantage of it at all. Instead, he was embarrassed by Sverdlov's cynicism. In this case, Xiao Si does not need support at all. If Lenin had made a move, then Trotsky would have lost his armor and thrown off his armor, and wouldn't Xiao Si be even more proud and arrogant at that time?

At the last time, Lenin also deliberately indulged Trotsky, and now Moscow, although important, is not the core, and the center of the revolution is Petrograd, which is the most important thing. Properly distract Trotsky. Keeping him from concentrating on doing things in Petrograd is beneficial and harmless to the Mentor.

To put it bluntly, Moscow is the mentor throwing out the flesh and bones, just to lure away this group of people who are in the way or too busy-minded. When their attention is distracted, he is the old man who can show his strength, right? That's why he was happy to watch a good show.

The show continued, and seeing that Trotsky could not gain the upper hand, Ulitsky, the only helper of the old Tolkovo in the Politburo, had to help, and if he didn't speak, he really had nothing to say, and if Sverdlov slapped Trotsky's face. That would be a big blow to Lao Tuo, after all, Xiao Si's identity is a little shorter.

"Comrade Yakov. I don't agree with you! "It's too early to say who is a counter-revolutionary and who isn't!" We can't jump to such arbitrary conclusions! As to the main point of contention, I think Comrade Trotsky's fears are justified, because the centre of gravity of the revolution is stability, and only a steady advance can lead to a good result. Therefore, in the current situation, we should not excessively have disputes with other parties, but should gather all the forces that can be united, and only by uniting can we stabilize our political power! ”

Ulitsky coughed dryly, "So I think we might as well make some concessions on some minor issues that don't matter and avoid creating an atmosphere of confrontation." I propose to send to Moscow a comrade who is highly respected, has close ties with the parties, and is able to deal with problems with restraint, so that he can solve those problems and restore normalcy to Moscow! ”

How could Sverdlov accept such a conclusion, if I agreed, you would just be able to mix sand with Moscow and pick peaches, right? Therefore, he immediately stood up, ready to refute Ulitsky's remarks fiercely, and beat him to the point of losing his armor.

"I think ......" Sverdlov just opened his mouth, and the mentor next to him suddenly spoke, "I think Comrade Ulitsky's suggestion is good, the situation in Moscow is very complicated now, and it is not enough to rely on Comrade Mulalov, Comrade Frunze and Comrade Andrei, there must be an old comrade who represents the Central Committee to take a look at it, understand the real situation there, mediate disputes there, and resolve contradictions......

Sverdlov couldn't believe his ears, he really couldn't think of any reason for his mentor to make concessions to Trotsky, what Ulitsky had just said was simply not worth mentioning, what was stability, what was reconciliation and mediation, it was just fart.

The contradictions between them and the Socialist-Revolutionaries, the Mensheviks and the Cadets were simply irreconcilable, otherwise would they have seized power through armed struggle? And the Master Mentor actually affirmed this statement, which is simply ruining the three views!

At that time, Sverdlov was in a hurry, if this statement was acceptable, then there might be some strange theories in the future! The limelight must be stopped!

Although he wanted to speak, Lenin did not give him a chance to speak, and the mentor took it upon himself to speak: "Of course, I must also emphasize that mediation of contradictions does not mean a compromise with the enemy, and there is no need for mediation when it comes to the question of concrete conclusions that the Party has already made. Speaking of which, this mediation work is a very heavy burden! It is necessary to have a comrade who deeply understands the established principles of the central authorities and is highly respected in order to be able to provoke ......"

When this sentence came out, the doubts in Sverdlov's heart were reduced a lot, at least Comrade Lenin was not confused, and he knew what could be mediated and what could not be mediated. But what do he mean by the words that follow? Do you want to plant another henchman in Moscow to control the situation?

Don't blame Sverdlov for having this kind of thought, in fact, he is not the only one who has this kind of thought, everyone feels that Moscow is very important, and in order to protect his own interests in Moscow, the mentor probably wants to send another henchman to preside over the overall situation, after all, Frunze is only good at military affairs, and is not particularly expert in politics.

At that moment, Stalin's and Trotsky's minds came alive, and Stalin's thoughts were, is this an opportunity for me? If I can recommend one of my own, or simply recommend myself to Moscow to preside over the overall situation, will I be able to turn defeat into victory in an instant?

Trotsky's idea was that Lenin had deliberately accepted my suggestion and then sent one of his henchmen to Moscow, which not only stabilized the situation, but also gave him a reputation for being receptive to opinions. No, I can't let Lenin take advantage of this!

Speaking too late, Trotsky and Stalin spoke almost simultaneously:

"I'm willing to go to Moscow to do mediation work!"

"I suggest that Comrade Ulitsky go on a trip on behalf of the Politburo!"

In the face of this situation of winning the pearl, Lenin smiled slightly, and what he said next surprised everyone! (To be continued......)
