Mikoyan certainly would not harm Stalin, at least not in 1918. The reason why Mikoyan thought that Stalin had to go to Lenin and have an in-depth exchange of views with his mentor was because of a deeper consideration.

In fact, even if Stalin hadn't made that low-level mistake before, Mikoyan would have advised him to hurry up and meet his mentor instead. The reason is that if Stalin had not done this, all the hard work he had done for more than half a month would have been in vain, and it would even make the tutor even more bored with him.

Ever since Stalin understood that the confrontation with Sverdlov would be a protracted battle, he began to change his tactics, began to actively challenge Trotsky, and began to prove his abilities to his mentor again. It should be said that after this period of hard work, the effect is still some, although it is not particularly obvious to improve the relationship between him and the mentor, but at least it has eased.

To be honest, it took just over half a month to be able to do this, and Mikoyan already felt that it was not easy, and the effect was very good, after all, construction is a hundred times more difficult than destruction. Stalin had ruined the relationship between him and his mentor before, and wanted to repair it in a day or two, wasn't that a fool's dream?

In fact, even the results achieved now made Mikoyan sigh - Comrade Lenin is so kind, after all this, he has not completely given up Stalin, the second goods, what a kind of open-mindedness!

Anyway, Mikoyan was a little angry with Stalin, you kid is too lucky, how can you enjoy the tolerance of Comrade Lenin!

Of course. Mikoyan also knew it very well. Only wise and intelligent people like him were satisfied with this result. It's a pity. The group of people who are now rallying around Stalin can be called a think tank, but there are too few people who can be regarded as political. are all a group of vulgar old men, drinking and scolding their mothers may be good at it, but it is too much to give advice.

These second-class people actually feel that the current pace is too slow, and the benefits within the faction are taken up by Sverdlov's people, and they are 10,000 dissatisfied with the situation that others eat meat but they can only drink soup. These brainless fools even began to incite Stalin to adopt some radical means to solve the current embarrassing position.

For example. To prove to Comrade Lenin the important role of Stalin by some forceful means, it is necessary to let Comrade Lenin know what Stalin means to him.

Naturally, Mikoyan would not approve of this brain-dead approach, because in his opinion, this is not a solution to the problem at all, on the contrary, it will only intensify the contradictions. He was strongly opposed to the bad ideas of those second-hand goods.

Nima, you bastards, figure it out that now it is Stalin who needs Comrade Lenin. Instead of Comrade Lenin needing Stalin, it was already a complete seller's market. You stall setters are still self-righteous, still hypocritical, and even have the urge to die, Jiao!

Anyway, he was completely speechless about this gang of big old coarse Mi Gaoyan, and in his opinion, this gang of goods was the red-eyed Sverdlov. But that can't be helped, in all fairness, during this period of time, Sverdlov is indeed more eye-catching than Stalin's performance, and indeed more credit than Stalin. It's only natural for people to eat meat!

Even Mikoyan complained in his heart - you gang of people simply don't know how to be blessed in the midst of happiness, Comrade Lenin is already kind enough, with the contribution made by you gang of goods, you don't even have the qualifications to drink soup, no! I don't even have the qualifications to eat at the table, and now I give you dates to eat in vain, and it's too big, and it's the next Olympics!

Mikoyan's analysis is very correct, although Sverdlov has gained more advantages during this time, but it is the result of real work, and he is jealous? You should also follow Xiao Si's example and do two things that can make the tutor pleasing to the eye. Nima, don't do anything, eat dry rice and scold your mother, what is this? Be ungrateful!

But even if Mikoyan was right, even if he looked down on the big bosses around Stalin, he couldn't change the fact that he couldn't stand alone! After all, he alone is weak, but the group of 255 old and coarse people is outnumbered, and under the constant attack of the tactics of the sea of people, it is difficult for Stalin to obey his words, which will lead to today's passivity.

If he could, he really wanted Stalin to draw a line with some of the most brainless bosses, and that gang of goods was not friendly with the pig team at all! It's a pity that he can't say this yet, because many of these people are old friends who made a revolution with Stalin back then, and their feelings are there, and if he rashly puts forward this suggestion, it will be self-defeating, and he will be squeezed out by those gangs of goods.

Therefore, for the time being, Mikoyan could only choose to forbear, and he could only choose to slowly win Stalin's absolute trust, believing that the day would come sooner or later with the determination to die with those gangsters, as well as his ability to make his own plans.

Thinking of this, Mikoyan took a deep breath, adjusted his emotions, and slowly explained to Stalin why he had to go to Lenin: "At today's meeting, you made a big mistake! He said bluntly.

Stalin frowned slightly, steel did not feel that he had done anything wrong today, how could it be wrong to defend the interests of the proletariat in opposition to Trotsky? But steel is still very urban, and now is the time when he has to use Mikoyan, even if Mikoyan points at his nose and scolds, he can bear it!

"You mean I shouldn't argue with Trotsky?" Stalin was very "naïve" and asked, "Do you think I am too reckless to fight against him?" ”

Stalin pretended to be naïve, Mikoyan could not pretend to be naïve, he knew too well about Stalin's temperament, Comrade Iron and Steel did not look at the pleasant face, but in his heart not to mention how annoyed. If he can't convince this product quickly, I'm afraid he will have a bad dish!

"No, you are right to oppose Trotsky's proposal, and the more fiercely you oppose it, the more Comrade Lenin will appreciate your attitude, even if he does not agree with you in his heart...... And for now, Comrade Lenin's attitude towards you is crucial! Mikoyan said slowly.

Just to explain in advance, when Mikoyan said this. There was no intention of stopping. He knew that Stalin had never been a particularly patient man. It may not be the case with political opponents and superiors, but his patience with his subordinates has always been very low. Mikoyan didn't have the courage to go around in circles with him, he was ready to go straight ahead and speak thoroughly!

Unfortunately, Mikoyan once again underestimated Stalin's impatience, and Steel cut off his speech directly and asked very unceremoniously: "There is nothing wrong with opposing Trotsky, is it for the rights and interests of the proletariat?" Is it wrong to oppose compromise with the bourgeoisie?! ”

This was a rather unkind question, and it can be seen that Stalin was still annoyed that Mikoyan had just questioned him directly in front of everyone. Don't be surprised, this is Stalin's personality, even if he knows that his decision is wrong, he also knows that Mikoyan stood up to correct him for his good. But this guy will still remember that he was knocked out, and he will choose to fight back whenever he has the opportunity.

This is also the key reason why intellectuals-type talents do not match this product, intellectuals are always so high-minded and always care about their dignity. You've made mistakes and don't repent. Who can stand the person who corrects you?

But Mikoyan was not much of an intellectual. After graduating from high school, he devoted himself to the revolution, and although he later studied and studied on his own, he was really not a literate person. So he didn't have that pride, and the tempering of his revolutionary career in his early years made him understand one thing - pride and reserve can't be eaten, if you want to mix, you have to recognize the reality!

As a realistic person, as a person who is familiar with Stalin's temper, he naturally does not take Stalin's little temper and venting seriously. He completely ignored all this and calmly said: "Of course, there is nothing wrong with defending the interests of the proletariat, but Comrade Lenin did not turn his back on the proletariat either, and your point of view is actually the same as his." If there is an inexplicable misunderstanding and estrangement in your relationship with him because of your wrong understanding and interpretation, this is completely wrong! ”

Stalin looked at Mikoyan without saying a word, no matter how he looked at it, he didn't look good, but Mikoyan was not nervous at all, because a Stalin with an exposed emotion was not terrible, and the most terrible Stalin was the one who was in silence.

Don't look at his bad eyes now, in fact, it is more of a small means for Stalin to maintain his face and authority. If he really hates someone, he will never show it directly, he will only hate you silently in his heart, and then slowly calculate you.

And Mikoyan didn't think he had just said anything wrong, in fact he had already saved face for Stalin, and if he went straight, he could have said: "You are brainless to fight against your mentor, can you be more correct than him?!" ”

In fact, Stalin could hear that Mikoyan had saved face for him, but he was still not happy!

He has been holding back a ball of anger in his heart, to put it bluntly, because Lenin discussed with Sverdlov before throwing out the plan, and discussed with a certain immortal, but he didn't look for him. This made Stalin feel insulted - it was better for Sverdlov to grit his teeth and admit it, that goods are indeed very strong, but it is unbearable to let a certain little kid also ride on Lao Tzu's head!

It's funny, isn't it, Stalin is sometimes so petty, likes to fight and hold grudges, and he doesn't look like a politician at all. He would argue with Lenin for such a ridiculous reason, and the fundamental reason was just to fight for breath.

Anyway, such an option Mikoyan did not appreciate, or rather completely despised. If he was in Stalin's position, he would not be so idle, and actively support the decision of the mentor, waving the flag and shouting that this is the best policy! You Stalin are simply brain-dead!

Mikoyan is so realistic, this is the important reason why he has endured for three generations, this person is the best at singing what song on what mountain, in order to protect his own interests, in order to protect himself, he can compromise with anyone without hesitation.

However, Cheng Ye Xiao He defeated Xiao He, seeing people talking about people, talking nonsense, and the ability to talk nonsense, two-faced, three-edged, honey-bellied swords, did allow Mikoyan to protect himself, but at the same time, he will inevitably lose some things - such as the opportunity to win the highest throne.

With Mikoyan's seniority and political status, he could have done better in the turbulent and transition of power that followed Stalin's death, and it was entirely possible for him to compete for the first place. However, it is difficult for him to have the courage to break through the kettle when he is too "sleek". In the face of opportunities and choices. He calculates too much. Considering too carefully, almost timid, the result was that Khrushchev got the first shot.

At the critical moment, Lao He, who was able to get rid of his troubles, made a painful decision to connect back and forth, and solved Beria's successful coronation. But Mikoyan hesitated, and he missed a great opportunity, which is a gain and a loss, if you can't get out. Without a little caution and perseverance, you will not be able to stand at the very top of the pyramid.

Obviously, Stalin's personality was more aggressive, and although he sometimes made some brainless choices, he was cautious and purposeful, unwavering, and able to break the boat. And that's exactly what Mikoyan lacks!

Of course, Mikoyan's character is suitable to be a second-in-command or a qualified strategist, who can not only assist his master to reach the top, but also protect himself very well. It's pretty powerful. Just now, when he is faced with Stalin's wrath. A fluttering sentence resolved his own crisis:

"You don't need to get angry at all, you don't have to get angry at all, you don't have to get angry. You can also insist on your own opinions, but you must let Comrade Lenin know why you are doing such insistence! Only by letting Comrade Lenin know your starting point can we eliminate the current embarrassing situation! ”

Stalin was silent, and his anger disappeared in an instant, because he knew that Mikoyan was right, and he was shouting outside and shouting that everything was for the proletariat, for the revolution. That doesn't work, and it can even be counterproductive.

Think about it, when Stalin was shouting outside and putting on a posture of loyalty and devotion to the people, what would the Mentor think? I am afraid that the tutor not only does not understand his "painstaking efforts", but I am afraid that Stalin is openly jumping out and slapping him in the face!

You Stalin are dedicated to the public, so on the other hand, the mentor is dedicated to selfishness? If you are for the country and the people, everything is for the revolution, isn't that an insinuation that the mentor is a despicable traitor and a villain. Isn't this a slap in the face? Isn't it eye medicine?

Anyway, as long as you are a normal person, when you see such a style, the first thing that comes to mind is - you Stalin are going to rebel and turn the sky upside down! Otherwise, what are you crying for and creating public opinion?

To tell the truth, Stalin's behavior today is very taboo, and what behavior the leaders hate the most - if there is something to say, it is not appropriate to say it to the face, and to point fingers and talk nonsense behind his back! Even if your intentions are good, even if your opinion is correct, this method is simply unacceptable!

Stalin made such a mistake, so when Mikoyan pointed it out, he immediately broke out in a cold sweat, if he was only worried that someone would make a small report, and that there would be insinuations against him. And now, he had to worry about whether his actions would really mislead the mentor.

Seeing that Stalin had really come to his senses, Mikoyan immediately added: "Therefore, in order to minimize the negative effects, it is necessary to present your point of view to your mentor in person." Positive communication is better than gossip, isn't it? ”

Stalin nodded thoughtfully, and after talking to the master of the mentor face to face, even if there was a villain behind him who spread the word about what he said tonight, it would not be a big problem. It has to be said that this is an excellent remedy, and he really has to go on this trip.

However, with such an awareness, it does not mean that Stalin is not worried at all, Lenin's temper is definitely not good, and today at the Central Committee, the proposal of the tutor has been adopted, and a collective resolution has been formed. And he took the initiative to come to the door in the middle of the night to sing the opposite, is this a bit eye-opening.

"Could Comrade Lenin misunderstand my intentions?" Stalin suddenly asked.

Mikoyan knew what Stalin was worried about, but he thought that such worries were completely unnecessary, and Stalin was a little bit of a snake, but he still patiently persuaded you: "As long as you discuss matters and explain your opinions from the point of view of class and work, Comrade Lenin will not criticize you even if he disagrees." On the contrary, I think he will only think that you can stand up to your point of view and be a ...... for the common good."

Speaking of this, Mikoyan paused, and did not say the second half of the sentence, because he wanted to say: "Actually, this trip also echoes your fierce opposition during the day. Your old man is so excited and dazzling during the day. If you just die down like that, it will make the tutor think that you are deliberate! If you can continue to hold your point of view at night, it shows that you are really thinking from the standpoint of the proletariat. ”

This was too taboo for Mikoyan to dare to say, and with Stalin's political wisdom, he could naturally come up with such a causal relationship. A qualified strategist must keep his mouth shut, and he must understand what he can and cannot say, otherwise he will bring disaster to himself and perish.

Stalin did not seem to notice Mikoyan's reservations, and he nodded silently, affirming Mikoyan's suggestion. However, Iron still seemed a little lacking in confidence, and he asked: "Do I need to pay special attention to anything in my communication and exchange with Comrade Lenin?" ”

In fact, even if Stalin did not ask this question, Mikoyan himself would have reminded him, because he knew that the reason why Stalin opposed it fiercely was because he had a thorn in his heart, and this thorn must not be mentioned to Lenin, otherwise, this trip would be meaningless.

Mikoyan cleared his throat and solemnly warned: "Comrade Joseph, you must be careful not to question Andrei on this trip. Petrovich, even more so can't attack him, even if it's a subtle questioning and attack! (To be continued......)
