At this time, Lenin suddenly announced the convening of an enlarged meeting of the Central Committee, and the first thing that came to the mind of ordinary people was whether this was the rhythm of a great earthquake. After all, the assassination of Ulitsky could not be concealed at all, and now it is even more troublesome in the city, and in any case, the Central Committee must react to the assassination of the Politburo member, otherwise where is the face of the Politburo and the Central Committee, and how can I give Ulitsky an explanation?

As for what kind of explanation can be given, this has caused a big discussion among the leaders and brains of the party. Some say that such a vicious incident must be caused by the Constitutional Democratic Party and the Socialist-Revolutionary Party. The counter-revolutionary forces led by the Mensheviks are in the way, and the central authorities should strike hard at their arrogance.

Of course, some people say that it is true that the counter-revolutionaries are doing something, but the Moscow Party Committee also has an unshirkable responsibility, and it is precisely because they have not controlled the situation in Moscow well that the activities of the counter-revolutionaries are rampant. Therefore, the Moscow Party Committee must realize its mistakes, apologize, and give an explanation to Comrade Ulitsky.

In fact, it can be seen at a glance whose interests these two opinions represent—the former, which can basically be confirmed to be the direct descendant of the mentor, naturally has to shift all the responsibility to the counter-revolutionaries.

The latter, on the other hand, were partly Trotsky's Trotskyists, and partly the remnants of Zinoviev and Kamenev, who had been routed in the previous struggle. During this period of time, they have been more or less under the attention of the Mentor, and it is certainly impossible to say that there is no resentment. So, now I finally seized the opportunity. It must be desperate to give the tutor eye medicine.

Rykov, who quit the Central Committee in the previous paragraph. For the first time, it appeared at an enlarged meeting of the Central Committee. After the mentor briefly recounted the attack on Ulitsky, he first rushed to speak:

"Personally, I think it would be irresponsible to simply and one-sidedly think that the assassination was led by counter-revolutionaries without catching the murderer. Without any evidence, how can such a conclusion be drawn? I think that only after careful and meticulous reconnaissance has the murderer been found and evidence has been found. It's never too late to jump to conclusions! ”

On the surface, Rykov's words seem to make sense, there is no right to speak without investigation! Now that the investigation has just begun, and there are no clues or evidence, it seems that the conclusion is to put the blame on the counter-revolutionaries...... Seems like this is too sloppy?

If you really think so, then it's a pity, it shows that you are not suitable for politics. To put it in a not-so-polite way. That's stupid and naïve. Politics is only subordinated to interests, not to the truth. Most of the time, the truth doesn't matter at all, it just depends on what kind of truth the people in power need.

For example, this assassination, regardless of the truth, can and must only be committed by counter-revolutionaries, and no second possibility is allowed. For what? This is because it is impossible to find out the truth at this time, and if it turns out that it is not the work of the counter-revolutionaries, then the result can only be directed at the struggle within the party. This will cause a Category 12 typhoon. Your Excellency will not allow this to happen! He can only and must create a harmonious atmosphere, and must make grassroots party members feel that the whole party is united and has a bright future, otherwise, he is brain-dead.

And at this time, Rykov said such a seemingly neutral remark, but in fact it was really reprehensible! Although he did not draw any conclusions, nor did he say that Ulitsky's assassination was a bloody internal struggle within the party, he seemed to be very fair and constructive. But in fact, this thing is just uneasy and kind, that is, to detonate the contradictions, and to put it mildly, he is suspected of instigating Trotsky and Lenin to PK in real people. I can't say, I plan to take advantage of the time when Lao Tuo and the mentor are fighting to the death, and come to fish in troubled waters.

This possibility exists, and it can even be said that it is obvious, that there is not much room for the activities of the Canadian and Quarter remnants of his kind in the party at present, and if the Mentor and Trotsky are in harmony, they will be cleaned up in a few minutes. So he must be this-stirring stick.

And Rykov did it quite skillfully, after firing a shot, he didn't say much, just sat down, honest as a quail. But Sverdlov on stage already hated it.

Why do you hate Xiao Si in a panic?

The reason is very simple, according to a very simple inference, the most passive of Ulitsky's assassination was the Moscow Party Committee and Li Xiaofeng, because in the eyes of many people, the source of the matter is all in their place, if they don't toss the Cadet Party, naturally Ulitsky will not need to go to Moscow, and if he doesn't go to Moscow, there will be no such.

This is just the idea of ordinary people, if you change it to the guy who likes to speculate on conspiracy theories in the dark heart, you may think that it is Muralov and Li Xiaofeng who will attack Ulitsky. Obviously, after getting rid of a Politburo member, the biggest benefit is Xiao Si and the mentor, maybe they colluded.

Whether it is inferred according to the former simple and direct idea, or according to the conspiracy theory that follows, it seems that it is the Moscow Party Committee and Li Xiaofeng who should be held responsible, and it is the Moscow Party Committee and Li Xiaofeng who should bear the blame. Isn't it just to give Trotsky and Ulitsky an account? Just cut those two goods!

According to these two opinions, it is enough for the mentor to directly abandon the pawn and protect the handsome. But Lenin really did this, and the biggest loss was Sverdlov, who easily grabbed the Moscow Party Committee in his hands, and before he could cover the heat, he inexplicably gave up all his efforts, and also took in an important comrade-in-arms Li Xiaofeng, this kind of loss is he willing to eat?

What's more, Xiao Si knew very well that Ulitsky's assassination had nothing to do with Muralov and Li Xiaofeng, and that idiot was just shot at the right time. This Nima is simply a disaster!

Therefore, Sverdlov was bound to refute Rykov and make his inability to muddy the waters: "I do not agree with Comrade Rykov's opinion, what does it mean that without careful investigation, we cannot casually draw conclusions. Do you mean something? I don't understand that the enemy who hates us Bolsheviks is quite obvious nowadays, and these counter-revolutionaries attacked the Soviets of Workers' and Soldiers' Deputies' only the night before. Huge casualties were caused. The next day he assassinated Comrade Ulitsky. Do you dare to say that there is no connection between the two? If it weren't for these counter-revolutionaries, please tell me, who do you suspect did it?! ”

Rykov's original plan was to light a fire and flash people, but he did not expect that Sverdlov would find him so quickly, and he also directly asked a very sharp question, which you think was not the work of counter-revolutionaries. Who did that, and what do you mean by that?

The ball was kicked back, but Rykov really didn't want to answer the question, because ...... Because he doesn't have an answer, and he can't answer it, and no matter how he answers, it's wrong!

So he could only stubbornly reply: "This is just my personal opinion, I just think that the reconnaissance work has not yet been carried out, and it is irresponsible to rush to conclusions!" ”

"So how can you be responsible?" Sverdlov pressed step by step, "I have made it very clear that I hate my party. The only people who can resort to such despicable means are those counter-revolutionaries outside the party. Who else is suspected besides them? Not to mention the fact that they have already created a barrage of violent attacks in Moscow...... I just want to ask you, who else but them would do that? ”

Rykov was speechless, unless he opened up and directly said that Muralov and Li Xiaofeng were suspicious, but if he really said that, it would not be a fan of the wind and a ghost fire, but a human bomb with an explosive bag. What he wanted to do was to intensify the contradiction between Trotsky and Lenin, to let the Great Teacher and the Second Teacher fight, instead of sacrificing himself to achieve others, he was not so great.

After Sverdlov choked Rykov speechless, he waved his hand heavily and said loudly: "Not long ago, Andrey. Comrade Petrovich repeatedly warned the Central Committee that there were a large number of counter-revolutionaries active in Moscow, who were actively plotting a series of conspiracies against our Party, and suggested that it was necessary to immediately begin to combat their arrogance. At that time, some comrades of the Central Committee did not agree with this opinion, believing that Comrade Andrei was making a big fuss, and when he resolutely took action to arrest those suspected counter-revolutionaries, they even thought he was troublesome...... The result? ”

Sverdlov glanced around the audience coldly, and continued: "As a result, the Moscow Soviet of Engineer Deputies was attacked by a bomb, if it wasn't for the murderer's mistake in planting the bomb and letting the bomb explode in advance, then I'm afraid that the only remaining Central Executive Committee member in Moscow would also be killed...... Immediately after that, the enemy assassinated Comrade Ulitsky, how arrogant was this arrogance! And now, some of our comrades still have not woken up, have not thought about how to fight the enemy-for-tat, but are suspicious and suspicious, and even excuse our enemy. I just want to ask what the hell you want to do! ”

After saying this, Sverdlov glanced at Trotsky meaningfully, and his remarks were partly aimed at Rykov, who had fanned the flames, and partly aimed at Trotsky, who had blocked the main points of Trotsky's possible attack in advance. Unless Trotsky was really going to open up to his mentor, unless he was really going to frame him, he would have to go down the tune set by Sverdlov.

Now Trotsky had only two options: to die or to admit that the assassination was the work of the counter-revolutionaries. However, he did not like either option. Needless to say, although he was a little unhappy with Lenin, he also had to admit that by following Lenin, he got his current position, and in the case of a good situation, let him give up all this and set up his own door again? He was reluctant.

From this point of view, he can only admit that the case was committed by counter-revolutionaries, but if he really admits it, he feels panicked! Lao Tzu's iron brother Ulitsky was shot three times and was taken in vain? Lenin, you have made it clear that this was done by the counter-revolutionaries, and you should also give some benefit to comfort and comfort Ulitsky's wounded heart! At least you have to give me Moscow, right?

It's good now, you don't want to give anything, and you are sneering, Sverdlov! Don't think that Lao Tzu didn't hear it just now, and some of the comrades of the Central Committee in what you said are referring to me, right? You are making fun of me for sending Ulitsky to Moscow to mediate the conflict, and you will reap the consequences, right? You're damaging enough!

Yes, Trotsky had no way to fight back in his actions except to curse Sverdlov in his heart, and such a passive situation was something he did not anticipate at first. According to the initial plan. It will be him who catches the assassination of Ulitsky and makes a big fuss. He will go out in person. No matter what, I had to let Lenin cut a piece of meat for him.

However, who would have thought that a Li Kefu would be killed halfway, this Cheng Biting Jin would disrupt all his plans, and his fan was not only humiliating, but also blocked all his chances to make trouble.

Trotsky hated the trouble this idiot had inflicted on him, and said to himself: No wonder Kamenev and Zinoviev are finished, they are all mentally retarded and rubbish. It's all a herd of pigs. If this doesn't collapse, it's simply that God doesn't have long eyes!

However, at this point, what was the use of his hatred, so he could only glare at Rykov, who had not achieved enough and had more than defeat, and then picked up Sverdlov's words: "I think Comrade Yakov said very well, some time ago, we were indeed too optimistic and lax, and the counter-revolutionaries are jackals, tigers and leopards. They will never ignore our party's efforts to create a truly universal world. They are bound to do evil, and they are bound to have intrigues. Face it all. All we have to do is throw a punch and smash them to pieces! ”

Speaking of this, Trotsky paused slightly, and continued: "What is happening in Moscow has given us a wake-up call. The fact that we have suffered heavy losses in Moscow because of the unfavorable response fully shows that it is very necessary for us to set up a special institution to train a large number of specialists to specialize in the fight against the counter-revolutionaries! ”

Trotsky was also really powerful, he had to pluck the feathers of the geese, he pushed the boat to Lenin and Sverdlov in the army, don't you say that the counter-revolution is rampant? Didn't you say that the central government didn't pay attention to it at first?

Well, then let's pay attention to it, and it's not ordinary attention. Let's set up a special structure to deal with counter-revolutionaries, as long as Lao Tzu has this institution in his hands, hehe!

Trotsky's calculations crackled, but he could calculate, and Lenin would not let him calculate, and immediately said: "Comrade Trotsky's proposal is very good, and it is very necessary to set up a special body to suppress the counter-revolutionaries, and I nominate Comrade Stalin to take charge of this matter!" ”

Trotsky was dumbfounded, he never thought that the master was so thick and shameless, you are planning to further strengthen your power, you are trying to force me into a corner! I also nominated: "I think Comrade Yue Fei has more experience in this area, and I think it is more appropriate for him to hold this position!" ”

Yue Fei, but the second role in the Trotskyists after Ulitsky, this brother and Trotsky did not have a good relationship, and the two sides worked together for a long time, and the cooperation was very tacit. When Trotsky became People's Commissar for Foreign Affairs, his deputy was Yue Fei.

It can be seen that he is now ready to work with his mentor, didn't you nominate your protégé Stalin? Then Lao Tzu will find an iron brother to fight against you!

Lenin seemed to have anticipated this situation for a long time, and said very calmly: "Comrade Yue Fei's present post is very important, and according to the previous resolution of the Politburo, he will soon go to Brest as a special representative of the Council of People's Commissars to discuss the armistice with the German representatives." At this time, where does he have the spare energy to devote to another new job? ”

Trotsky bared his teeth, he was indeed speechless, and like Li Xiaofeng, he was also faced with a situation in which a person hated less when he was in use. Ulitsky is injured, Yue Fei can't leave, and there is only one Lunacharsky who has a good relationship with him and is capable, but this thing is simply wonderful, he doesn't do serious things, but he goes to do educational work, Nima, can you be a little more unreliable!

Needless to say, Trotsky's indignation was that if he did not hurry up with a decent candidate, then Stalin would have come to power, and he would not allow such a situation to arise. But after thinking about it for a long time, there was really no other competent candidate around him, and just when Trotsky was at his most impatient, he rolled his eyes and thought of a way not to let Lenin get his way.

"I think Comrade Lenin is quite right!" Trotsky suddenly changed his words: "Comrade Yue Fei's work is indeed very heavy, and he is indeed not suitable for a new post. In the same way, Comrade Stalin still has to deal with the question of ethnic affairs, and as a multi-ethnic country, the national question has always been the top priority, and there cannot be the slightest mistake, so Comrade Stalin is probably also lacking in skills......

Stalin was almost, when Lenin nominated him just now, he was so happy that he fainted, if he could really grasp the power of the rebellion, then he would be developed. Especially when the mentor rejected Yue Fei's nomination in a few words, he seemed to have a chance to win.

But Trotsky, this bastard, is shameless! He even talked about his duties as the People's Commissar for Ethnic Affairs, and Nima said that his position was very important. Isn't this talking nonsense with your eyes open! If Lao Tzu's position is really so important, then I'll change it with you!

Unfortunately, it was useless for Stalin to be angry, because from the very beginning he was just a pawn in Lenin's game with Trotsky, and the Mentor did not even think of handing over the power of the rebellion to him, because the Mentor had already had a more suitable candidate...... (To be continued......)

PS: Bow and thank you Comrade Ivanyu and Comrade Jhonny Ridden!
