024 Good intentions? Malice? (below)
Yezhov was frightened by Li Xiaofeng, since he became involved with Stalin, since the Bolsheviks became more and more prosperous, he felt that he was already a character, he was already very confident. But after meeting Li Xiaofeng again, Ye Ruofu really understood what it meant to be confident and unscrupulous.
Li Xiaofeng can beat his people violently in front of the Moscow Party Committee, and he can unceremoniously drive him away from the Moscow Party Committee. None of this was a big deal, but now, without realizing it, he walked into his bedroom, shouting and screaming unabashedly, as if it was not much harder to kill him than it was to kill a bed bug.
In the face of such a strong and unscrupulous Li Xiaofeng, Ye Ruofu was a chicken. After all, he is only 22 years old now, and he is not the bloody dwarf who can almost cover the sky with one hand. At the moment, he is too tender, and he is not Li Xiaofeng's opponent at all.
Yielding, he quickly said what Stalin wanted to bring: "Comrade Stalin let me tell you that Zinoviev has arrived in Moscow and has reached a consensus with the enemy!" Prepare to join forces with the enemy to strangle the revolution! β
Li Xiaofeng frowned, it was not the news itself that worried him, to tell the truth, he had already witnessed Zinoviev's contact with the enemy, and he could not be surprised at all.
What really worries Li Xiaofeng is that he would not be naΓ―ve to think that Stalin was a person who put the overall situation first, let alone that steel would show favor to him.
His relationship with Sverdlov was a louse on a bald head, as long as Stalin was insane, as long as Stalin was still ambitious for the seat under Lenin's ass. Then it will definitely not be sold to him.
Replaced by Li Xiaofeng is Stalin. At this time, Zhilu said that the right-hand man of his political opponent had a heavy mission and went to Moscow. Absolutely bad, if possible it is better to dig a pit and ambush.
Ventilation message? Daydreaming!!
The problem is that Stalin did not do this, but was kind enough to send Yezhov to deliver this important news. This is simply selflessness, it is simply the class friendship between the great proletariat, and it is so great that it cannot be greater!
Could it be that Stalin was really a saint who repaid his grievances with virtue?
Well, as soon as this thought rose from Li Xiaofeng's heart, he immediately threw it away from Java. Comrade Iron is notoriously retributional. Sage? It's almost the same for people to pit people!
But Li Xiaofeng just couldn't figure out what good would Stalin do by selling this news to him?
Li Xiaofeng thought of the first possibility, borrowing his hand to clean up Zinoviev? But soon, Li Xiaofeng gave up this possibility. Because there is not much point in cleaning up Zinoviev, although neither he nor Kamenev are willing to fail, they are jumping up and down. But to be honest, no matter how much trouble they make, it doesn't mean much, dead dogs like them. What about another knock on the stick? It's not a waste of effort.
If not to kill someone with a knife, then what is it? Time. Li Xiaofeng was confused, and he couldn't think of a reasonable answer even after racking his brains.
Since he can't think of it, he simply doesn't want to, Li Xiaofeng is still very open-minded at this point, of course, the fundamental reason for this open-mindedness is that he has a ready-made candidate who can force the answer.
Li Xiaofeng kicked Ye Ruofu again and said unceremoniously: "That's the news?" What else did Stalin let you bring? β
Ye Ruofu covered his stomach and glared at Li Xiaofeng viciously, but he immediately restrained this ferocity, and the current situation told him that he was not qualified to argue with Li Xiaofeng, unless he didn't want to live.
"It's gone!" "Comrade Stalin just wants you to pay attention to Zinoviev's actions, this guy is dangerous, he has completely taken refuge in the enemy and is destroying the good situation of the revolution!" β
Li Xiaofeng pursed his lips, his heart was full of disdain: it's all nonsense, there is a good situation of fart in Moscow, it's just a mess, and the situation in Moscow doesn't need Zinoviev to destroy it at all, because it's already rotten beyond measure.
That's right, the situation in Moscow is still very bad, even if he, an immortal, inserts it strongly, but the situation is still very bad! Although the Moscow Party Committee and the Soviets of Workers' and Soldiers' Deputies had once again made up their minds to carry out armed struggle, their actions were as weak as they had been in history.
There was no drastic attack, no pressing on the enemy, and even slogans were put forward to minimize bloodshed and ensure the safety of the inhabitants as much as possible. The rebel troops are slowly assembling, waiting for orders, and doing nothing. It's as if it's not a life-and-death showdown, it's a child's play.
Li Xiaofeng, of course, will not be satisfied with such a situation, but he cannot blame anything, after all, it was the Moscow Soviets of Workers' and Soldiers' Deputies and the Revolutionary Military Council that led the uprising. Although he was a commissioner sent by the All-Russian Soviets of Engineer and Soldier Deputies, neither the Central Executive Committee of the Soviets nor the Mentor gave him military command. At most, Li Xiaofeng can only make suggestions, and it is difficult to say whether the Moscow Soviets of Workers' and Soldiers' Deputies and the Revolutionary Military Council will listen to them.
So, in this case, Zinoviev's destructive effect was really limited, because the Moscow Soviets of Engineers' and Soldiers' Deputies and the Revolutionary Military Council were full of people like him. Killing one Zinoviev can only be gagged, what's the use?
To tell the truth, Li Xiaofeng is now very troubled and confused, he doesn't know how to cheer up the group of people who led the armed uprising in Moscow, these guys are as cautious as a pool of stagnant water.
"That's really all there is?!" Li Xiaofeng used a little force on his toes, and suddenly Ye Ruofu's face wrinkled into a bun, and he begged for mercy again and again: "Stop, that's really all there is to it, Comrade Stalin has no other orders!" β
Li Xiaofeng smiled gloomily and said viciously: "Why do I think you are lying!" He used a little more force on his toes.
"I say, I say!" Yezhov couldn't resist anymore and succumbed: "Comrade Stalin also asked me to organize a team, preferably able to play a role in the armed uprising!" So ......"
Li Xiaofeng immediately asked, "So what?" β
"So can you get us some weapons. It's a repayment of the favor that has been sent to you! β
Li Xiaofeng was stunned. I didn't expect Yezhov to give such an answer. Could it be that Stalin really had no bad intentions, that he intended to trade fairly and take what he wanted?
"Rubbish!" Li Xiaofeng withdrew his foot, looked at Ye Ruofu with a sneer, and asked as if he didn't care, "Say, how many weapons do you need?" β
Yezhov did not doubt him, and replied: "It is better to get a thousand guns!" A long gun instead of a pistol, of course a machine gun is better......" Speaking of which. Ye Ruofu noticed that Li Xiaofeng's face was wrong, and immediately changed his words: "Any gun is fine, it's better to get a little more bullets!" β
Li Xiaofeng didn't care on the surface, but he made a calculation in his heart, a thousand guns probably meant that there should be a team of more than 1,000 people. Stalin is enough, he is in Petrograd, and the remote command can also pull up a large team in Moscow, and it is really impossible to underestimate this piece of steel.
"Solve the weapons yourself! I don't have that time to spare! β
Leaving this sentence, Li Xiaofeng flashed directly, not that he really believed Ye Ruofu's words. Neither Stalin nor Yezhov were good birds. The scourge of cheating the dead and not paying for their lives. Believe their nonsense, I'm afraid that if I am sold, I will have to help count the money.
Li Xiaofeng is not stupid, naturally he will not believe the nonsense of Yezhov and Stalin, just now he has a vague understanding, and he has guessed a little bit of Stalin's calculations.
First, Stalin must have been a weasel greeting the chickens, and he didn't have a good heart. Just rush him to arrange Yezhov in Moscow in advance, rush him to pull out a team of more than 1,000 people without humming or haha, and rush to him to find out Zinoviev's whereabouts, it can be seen that steel is not small in Moscow this time. How else can you be so well prepared?
Although Li Xiaofeng didn't know what Stalin was trying to do, he could think of it with his ass, and it was definitely very good for his hemp face. Of course, what is good for Stalin is not necessarily bad for Li Xiaofeng. However, judging from Comrade Steel's bad criminal record, this person's consistent style is to harm others and benefit himself.
Although Li Xiaofeng is not afraid of thieves stealing, he has to guard against thieves. Lao Tzu doesn't play with you, and if he doesn't have anything to do with you, you naturally don't do anything with me. As for delivering a message to a favor? Lao Tzu already knew the news, and it was you who cried and shouted to send it to the door, why should I appreciate it?
This is one thing, and the other is that Li Xiaofeng vaguely feels that there seems to be something wrong with the news delivered by Stalin. Although it is generally close to the facts of what he knows, it doesn't seem to match the details!
According to the results of his observations at noon, Zinoviev was indeed opposed to Lenin's line of armed revolution as always, and indeed intended to negotiate with the enemy, but this was far from rising to the level of joining forces with the enemy to strangle the revolution.
What does it mean to join forces with the enemy to strangle the revolution? This premise is that Zinoviev completely betrayed the party, completely complied with the enemy, and turned the muzzle.
But now, what Zinoviev is doing is far from reaching this level, and at most he is not optimistic about the prospects of the armed revolution and is afraid of failure, so he is ready to solve the problem by negotiations, at most Zinoviev can only say that Zinoviev betrayed Lenin.
Betrayal of Lenin and betrayal of the Party and the revolution are two completely different concepts. Although Zinoviev was of inferior character and had no manners, there was one thing he would certainly not do, and that was to betray the party. Without the skin of the Bolsheviks, he was really nothing, and both he and Kamenev knew this.
So, to be fair, Kamenev and Zinoviev were the unscrupulous, visionary opposition and careerists of the Bolshevik Party.
And now that Stalin is hundreds of kilometers away, he swears that Zinoviev is already a traitor, which is too arbitrary, right?
At the beginning, Li Xiaofeng also thought that Comrade Iron and Steel was deceived by a villain like Yezhov, so he came to such an erroneous conclusion. But after thinking about it carefully, Li Xiaofeng felt that Stalin really may not have been deceived, and that somewhat outrageous conclusion was really his handiwork. I'm afraid that steel is ready to kill people with a knife!
The reason is simple, although it doesn't make much sense to smash Kamenev and Zinoviev, but it doesn't hurt either. It's all dead dogs anyway. If you fight, you will fight. There's no need to worry about the dead dog's counterattack yet.
Not to mention that killing the dog also has positive political implications. For Stalin, his presence in the party has not always been very strong, and even when he was a member of the Central Committee and the Politburo, the comrades in the party did not particularly identify with him. I always felt that he was able to come to power mainly because of the political needs of Comrade Lenin, not because of how strong Stalin's ability was, but because Stalin was the weakest at that time and the threat to Lenin was low. It is precisely because of this that Stalin took advantage of it.
There is some truth to this statement. Stalin's rise was indeed accidental, historically Kamenev and Zinoviev lost too many points in the October Revolution, and Sverdlov was unlucky enough to be killed by the flu. Under these circumstances, Lenin could not have chosen Trotsky, who had always been at odds with him, as his successor, right?
But this statement is not entirely correct, in all fairness, Stalin is still very capable, not capable of fighting the combination of Trotsky, Kamenev, Zinoviev and Bukharin?
Consider that in the intra-party struggle of the mid-twenties, in the face of repeated challenges from the opposition and the new opposition led by Trotsky, Stalin used a combination of vertical and horizontal means to defeat these guys and lose their armor, and finally Kamenev, Zinoviev and Bukharin, lost their lives, and Trotsky, the second mentor, was exiled. In the end, he fled from Russia in embarrassment.
Stalin didn't have any real skills, could he be so awesome? And Stalin now the problem is. How to show your ability, or show your authority. However, compared to the ability of organization and coordination, he is not Sverdlov's opponent, and he is average in this aspect.
But Stalin had an amazing talent for playing with power, and although he could not be put on the table, it was extremely important. But in order to play with power, he had to find an opponent, although Trotsky was a good target, but Stalin knew that his body was not something he could resist for the time being, and now there was only one mentor who could fight him in the party, and he was afraid of being abused if he ran to the stage without his own strength.
Stalin wanted to be in the limelight, not to seek abuse, so he did not dare to touch Trotsky's tiger ass for the time being. Then deal with Sverdlov! The problem is that Sverdlov is with him for the time being, and they are all the younger brothers of the Mentor. At such a critical moment of the revolution, engaging in infighting, it is estimated that he will be shot to death by his mentor without hesitation.
Well, Trotsky couldn't, and neither did Sverdlov. You can't trouble your mentor, that would be tantamount to suicide, Stalin wasn't that stupid. Picking and choosing, it seems that the only people he can fight in the party are Kamenev and Zinoviev.
Although these are two dead dogs, they are still dead but not stiff, and they still have some influence in the party, and it is just right to find trouble with them. CLEANING THEM UP RUTHLESSLY, NOT TO MENTION PLAYING THE ROLE OF KILLING CHICKENS AND BANNING MONKEYS, BUT IT CAN ALSO MAKE THOSE IN THE PARTY WHO LOOK DOWN ON HIM UNDERSTAND A LITTLE BIT OF POWER, AND LET THEM KNOW THAT STALIN'S IS NOT HELLOKITTY.
At first, Li Xiaofeng only considered the problem from the perspective of Sverdlov and himself, and naturally ignored Stalin's embarrassment. And now that he thinks about it from Stalin's point of view, it is not impossible to kill people with a knife. In particular, Stalin still used the strength of the "hostile camp" to solve Zinoviev, and this skill will definitely attract the attention of the mentor and those smart people in the party, and who will dare to despise him at that time?
After figuring out this layer, Li Xiaofeng's mind opened up all of a sudden, and he was keenly aware that if he didn't understand the real situation, I am afraid that it was really possible to fall into the scheme. With his temper, at first glance, when he heard that Zinoviev was in the same league with the enemy, it was very likely that he would ruthlessly clean up the pie. When the time comes, not only will Stalin be fooled, but it will be more likely to lead to big trouble!
The opposition forces represented by Zinoviev have a market in Moscow, otherwise the situation in Moscow would not be so complicated. If Li Xiaofeng jumps out of the gang to kill Zinoviev, a dead dog, then he will definitely pull all the hatred of the Moscow opposition on himself.
At that time, the opposition will fire at him with all their might, will oppose everything he insists on, and if he can't do it, he will really push these grandsons into the arms of the enemy.
If the opposition in Moscow is pushed to the side of the enemy, and they are really in the same boat as the enemy to strangle the revolution, then Li Xiaofeng can be sure that the situation in Moscow will become even more complicated. That's right, the Mentor asked him to be a-stirring stick, but stirring his own people to the enemy's side is definitely a big failure. It also went against Lenin's original intention of letting him push the Moscow revolution forward.
Li Xiaofeng took a deep breath and had to sigh that Stalin had good intentions, and it seemed that he was giving him a message, but in fact he was inducing him to make mistakes. True, Zinoviev was really annoying and annoying, but he was not a real enemy of the revolution. If you are busy dealing with him, and forget about the tens of thousands of White troops in Moscow, that is the biggest defeat!
Li Xiaofeng knew that Master Daoist would never forgive him for making such a big mistake, and that it was not a mistake of principle to show off his temper in the past, and to find the wrong target on the major issues of right and wrong that have a bearing on the future of the revolution is incorrigible!
Stalin was so vicious that if Li Xiaofeng was tricked, then he would kill two birds with one stone, not only establishing his authority, but also striking a blow to Sverdlov's power. And what he paid was just a sentence for people, how easy and comfortable.
Of course, even if Li Xiaofeng doesn't win the trick after the last, he will have nothing to lose, and he will leave a good reputation. See, I, Stalin, have a big heart, and I am obviously a competitor to Sverdlov, but in the face of the overall situation of the revolution, I completely abandon my prejudices and selflessly report to my opponents.
