Unbeknownst to Mr. Li, his reply telegram had sparked a big controversy in the political bureau, and there were two opinions at the time, one of which was that someone had been so carried away by the victory that he didn't know what his last name was. () thinks that he is blindly optimistic and miscalculates the shape shì. It was even demanded that it be replaced, otherwise the future of East Prussia would be very bad.

Who are those who hold this opinion? Bukharin, Stalin and Dzerzhinsky all expressed such concerns.

It's very interesting, no, most of the people who used to contradict a certain immortal were Trotskyists. And this time there were not only Trotskyists, but also Stalin, the big brother of Leninists, and Dzerzhinsky, the leading figure of the centrists.

Judging from the distribution of the forces opposing him, the left, the middle and the right factions all account for it, and it seems that a certain immortal is a little angry and resentful. Don't be in a hurry, don't rush to conclusions yet, because the people who support him are also all on the left, the center and the right.

Trotsky was rarely speechless, and he fell into deep thought about the strategy proposed by a certain immortal. Lenin's attitude was similar to that of Trotsky, and he was also carefully analysing and considering the gains and losses. There may be comrades who are strange, this is not an opinion, at most it can be regarded as neutral, right? How can it be said that it supports Li Xiaofeng?

We must see that both Trotsky and Lenin had conservative opinions, and the first thing they thought of was how to defend. And after Li Xiaofeng called back, the two mentors did not directly oppose and did not criticize the arrogant guy. This fully shows that Li Xiaofeng's opinion still has a certain amount of truth, and this kind of truth has obviously changed the attitude of the two mentors.

Isn't the shift from conservative views to loose attitudes a shift from opposition to support? Such a stark shift. Only the political blind can't see it. It was clear that the two mentors were very interested in the idea proposed by a certain immortal!

Except for the two mentors. The most staunch supporter of a certain immortal is still his iron brother Sverdlov: "I think that the Central Committee should listen more to the opinions of front-line comrades when considering the overall situation. They have a better understanding of the actual situation on the ground, and their understanding is more intuitive. Those of us who sit in the rear cannot decide on the course of our plans based on imagination and speculation alone. My opinion is that they should be given more opportunities to speak, and their opinions should be fully heard! ”

Stalin didn't like to hear this, and when he was the political commissar of the military of the Southwestern Front, he constantly put forward many opinions and views to the Central Committee. At that time, the central government was not what Xiao Si said now. At that time, the central authorities demanded that he unconditionally obey the command of the central authorities, emphasizing the authority of the central authorities.

In Stalin's view, Xiao Si is favoring himself over others, and you will desperately suppress Lao Tzu's opinions, and when it is your turn to be Brother Tie, you will indulge with your life. It's really like I'm a bully, right?

"Do you want the authority of the central government?" Stalin immediately began to attack, "Let the comrades on the front line express their opinions at will, and let them do whatever they want, this is indulgence!" It is irresponsible for the revolution! I strongly condemn this! ”

Sverdlov also knew where the roots of Stalin's opposition were, but in his opinion: "What are the so-called opinions you put forward before the steel?" It's all about excluding dissent. It's all nonsense against objective laws! Of course I was against it then, and not just against it. You have to oppose it to the end! And now Li Xiaofeng's proposal is your kind of thing that sells dogs on the head of a sheep? People are completely based on reality! ”

Therefore, Xiao Si directly ignored Stalin's attack and worked hard to cheer for his little friends: "I think the proposal put forward by Comrade Andrei is very correct, the imperialist intervention is still at a low level for the time being, and it cannot change the overall situation of Poland. If we can completely annihilate the Polish reactionary army in one fell swoop, then even the imperialist intervention army will have to weigh it more and dare not blindly plunge into the Polish battlefield! ”

Stalin was annoyed by his ignorance, and he was about to speak, but Lenin stopped him: "Comrade Andrei's opinion is indeed meritorious, but the risks involved in it are also considerable......

When Stalin heard this, he was immediately a little happy, thinking that his mentor was still inclined to his previous opinion, but who would have thought that he had not yet been happy, Lenin changed his tone and said: "But great risks also mean great returns, and if we can completely defeat the Polish reactionaries, as Comrade Andrei planned, we will certainly be able to deter the wolf ambitions of imperialism!" ”

Stalin was about to vomit blood, and he stood on the spot not knowing what to say, until Trotsky also made up for it: "I also think that Comrade Andrei's opinion, as he himself said, is easier to gain the initiative on the battlefield...... Although this plan is very risky, if we can firmly control the initiative in our hands instead of being passively beaten, we will certainly be able to deal with the enemy for a longer time, and this will also buy us more time to win the victory of the domestic revolution! ”

On the surface, Trotsky did not say that Li Xiaofeng's proposal was more clever than his plan, but that it was easier to gain the initiative, and he added a special assessment of "very risky". But fools know that Lao Tuo has completely repudiated the conservative plan he proposed before!

"Hmm!" Lenin nodded lightly and concluded: "Let Comrade Andrei hurry up with a more concrete plan." The political bureau must know how much manpower and material resources we are going to invest in Poland next......"

With the help of Triandafilov, Li Xiaofeng quickly came up with several battle plans and submitted them to the Central Committee.

The first plan was to continue to encircle and annihilate the Polish reactionary army in accordance with the operational plan of the previous stage, and after completely destroying Pilsudski's First Army, Ubolevich's main force would quickly move south, striving to fight another war of annihilation near Vovomin and completely wipe out the Polish reactionary army.

The second option is that, in view of the fact that the imperialist bloc has already begun to intervene directly, it is better to take advantage of their unstable foothold and attack first, destroy the imperialist intervention forces in Szczecin, and completely cut off Poland's access to foreign aid.

The specific scheme is: Part of the army was drawn from Danzig and Königsberg. Surprise attack on Szczecin. Meanwhile. Having annihilated the remnants of the enemy, the Ubolevich group moved south to deter the remnants of Pilsudski in order to lift the encirclement of Vovomin and firmly pin down Pilsudski's forces in Warsaw. After that, in addition to the sweep and blockade of Warsaw with small forces, the main forces moved to rest on the spot, and when Pilsudski had to break the stalemate due to material shortages, he tried to encircle and annihilate him.

For the political bureau, the first option is undoubtedly more to taste. After all, it is a bit too frightening to take the initiative to provoke the Entente bloc. Continuing to fight the Poles, there is no doubt that there is less pressure on the international community, and it is not easy to lead to the overall deterioration of the situation.

However, there is also a big problem with this plan, first, it will take time to annihilate the remnants of Polsky. And if Pilsudski in the south shows up in bad shape, it is very likely that he will abandon his plan to go north and flee to Warsaw. The distance from Ivovomin to Warsaw is really beyond the reach of Ubolevich, who is far away in Verkhnia and Ukiniya.

Secondly, even if you can annihilate the remnants of Polsky. Can Ubolevich's troops move south quickly, can they surround Pilsudski's troops. This is also a problem. After all, Ubolevich's troops were fighting continuously, and the physical attrition of the troops was considerable. In the event that the southward movement did not go well, Pilsudski retreated back to Warsaw, or simply could not take advantage of the movement and could not eat Pilsudski, then the situation would be complicated.

However, the second option can avoid these problems, and the troops from Danzig and Königsberg to attack Szczecin are a bit of a shut-off, and after cutting off Pilsudski's access to foreign aid, and then after a period of blockade and siege, Pilsudski will inevitably be exhausted. At that time, he would either be trapped alive, or he would have to be forced out of the city for a decisive battle.

Once he chooses the latter, Ubolevich's troops have recuperated and recovered, and it should not be particularly difficult to eat Pilsudski.

However, there is also a problem with this plan, that is, the word "wait". It will take time to besiege Warsaw and trap Pilsudski. And during this time, Ubolevich's troops could only "stupidly wait" around Warsaw, and God knows how long Pilsudski would have to wait before he ran out? What if this thing is bent on being a shrunken turtle and just doesn't come out?

And it must be noted that the Entente will not accompany you to wait stupidly, and at the same time that Pilsudski is besieged, they will inevitably try their best to relieve the siege. Once they used this time to draw part of their forces and throw them into the Polish battlefield in one fell swoop. At that time, the People's Liberation Army of East Prussia was about to fall into the passivity of the enemy in Warsaw, which could not be solved, and the new enemy was swarming in passivity.

Moreover, the core of the second plan is to attack Szczecin, so is this Szczecin easy to fight? After all, Szczecin is also an important port, and there are not only the so-called volunteers of the Entente there, but also a considerable number of German ** troops around.

Well, even if it could be taken, it would be a serious offense to the Germans, who had previously stood by with restraint because they could not afford to look east, and now, I am afraid that the Entente would gladly let them teach the Jewish invaders a lesson, right?

Therefore, it looks good to fight Szczecin, but there are many problems, and if you don't get it right, you will attract more enemies for yourself, so you really can't do it blindly.

After repeated discussions by the Political Bureau, the ultimatum was indeed Plan 1, but the Political Bureau also made new requirements, that is, Plan 1 must continue to be improved, and the problem of how to defend Pilsudski in the south as soon as possible after eliminating the remnants of Polsky must be solved. If this core problem cannot be solved, then it is better to act according to the earliest conservative plan of the political bureau.

The difficult problem was in front of Li Xiaofeng and Triandafilov, Vovomin to Warsaw is only thirty or forty kilometers, and Verkhnia to Vovomin is a hundred and dozens of kilometers. With the current Allied bloc's air reconnaissance forces supporting Poland, Vovomin had fallen, but Pilsudski would know in two hours. This little time was not enough for Ubolevich's troops to turn back and outflank.

It is even more likely that as Polsky's resistance becomes weaker and weaker, Pilsudski will give up his plan to go north to rescue, and with Lao Bi's escape, there is no way to chase him.

Trian Dafilov sighed: "How good would it be if we had more troops on hand?" ”

This, of course, is impossible, that is, the seven or eight thousand people who remained in Vovomin were squeezed out of the teeth by Ubolevich, where are there more troops?

Triandafilov's words were more of a self-deprecation and helplessness, but they were heard by Li Xiaofeng. But it has the effect of initiation.

From reality. It was definitely too late for Ubolevich to go south after annihilating the remnants of Polsky. And there will not be more troops around Vovomin as Triandafilov would like. A qiē seems to be incomprehensible, but Li Xiaofeng thought of a possibility:

"Can Ubolevich send some of his troops south ahead of schedule?" He asked Trianda Filov a very absurd question.

Triandafilov was first stunned by this question, and then fell into deep thought: "The remnants of Polsky have been besieged in a rather small block north of Vovomin, and to tell the truth, Polsky is just waiting to die. Whether he dies quickly or slowly depends entirely on Ubolevich's next attack. If Ubolevich had gone on a frantic ship regardless of the cost of five divisions, it was estimated that the goods would have been finished in just two days. If Ubolevich gives the troops a breather. With less troops, I'm afraid the goods will last longer. Of course, it was just a few more days, and without reinforcements to rescue, Polsky would just die. ”

Thinking of this, Trian Dafilov also reacted, since Polsky is dead, is it necessary to eat it quickly regardless of the cost? To say that it is not good, hurry up and eat him, but Pilsudski immediately ran away. It is better to draw troops from Upper Maunkinia and go south in advance. Only a part of the troops was left to take care of Polsky and grind it slowly. When the time comes, you will not be able to run away from Pilsudski, but you will also be able to eat Polsky. Isn't it the best of both worlds?

Why did Li Xiaofeng think of this trick? That's still his scattered thinking, and the current situation is like a very tangled game of chess. According to the straight line thinking of the West, that is, when chess is played, no matter how you look at it, there is no solution. But a certain immortal is not a straight Westerner, the Eastern way of thinking is completely different, and the current situation is more like Go in Li Xiaofeng's view.

With a great advantage, he can slay the dragon immediately, but if he slays the dragon immediately, he will lose the first-mover advantage. And for Go, the first move is undoubtedly more important. Therefore, Li Xiaofeng chose to ignore Pilsudski's dead dragon for the time being, and chose to take off the first step and take the lead!

If we can make arrangements in advance and mobilize our troops to the south first, we can not only eat Polsky, but also bite Pilsudski again, and it is even possible to completely annihilate this arrogant foot-wiping president.

Soon after, Li Xiaofeng and Triandafilov's battle plan was reported to the Political Bureau, and it was undoubtedly very bold and imaginative, both for Lenin and for Trotsky. Of course, in their eyes, the risk is unusually high.

The People's Liberation Army of East Prussia has limited troops, is it too reluctant to fight two wars of annihilation at the same time? In the unlikely event that the southbound forces could not prevent Pilsudski from returning to Warsaw, and the northern side of Verkhnia Ukinia let Polsky go because of insufficient troops, wouldn't it be a failure at both ends?

Such worries were very popular in the political bureau, but Lenin and Trotsky thought they could give it a try!

Trotsky said: "Judging by the current state of the war, the battle plan of Comrades Andrei and Triandafilov is possible. It would not take five divisions to encircle and annihilate Polkski, and investing too many troops in that small battlefield would make the battlefield very congested and cause many unnecessary casualties...... The transfer of two divisions from Verkhniy Maukinia to the south would greatly change the view of the occupation of the southern front, and if it was sudden enough, it would be possible to leave part of Pilsudski's troops in Vovomin......"

Although Trotsky was talking about possibility, judging from his tone, Lao Tuo basically agreed with a certain immortal's plan, and of course, he was also worried: "My main concern is how many troops can be left in Pilsudski, if only one or two brigades are annihilated, such a risk is obviously not cost-effective, but if you want to annihilate more enemies, it seems that the number of troops is not enough...... It is even possible to be counter-surrounded by the enemy! ”

Indeed, even if two divisions were to be drawn from Verkhniy Maukinia, it was a bit inadequate compared to Pilsudski's huge strength of up to 7 divisions. How much damage could this unit do to Pilsudski? Once you are surrounded by enemies, isn't that a big joke?

"Can one or two more divisions be drawn from Danzig and Königsberg at the same time to join the battle in Warsaw?" ”

The idea was difficult, and the East Prussian People's Liberation Army remaining in Danzig and Königsberg was about five divisions, accounting for almost half of the troops, and it seemed that a lot of men and horses could be drawn. However, it must be noted that most of the left-behind units are newly expanded, have not yet undergone adequate training, and even have incomplete weapons and equipment, and their combat effectiveness is limited.

What's more, with the Germans opening up Szczecin, the threat of the Entente is already imminent, and it is difficult to guarantee that the Entente bloc will not draw salaries from the bottom of the kettle without leaving some troops enough to watch the family! Once the base of East Prussia is lost, the meaning of victory will be diminished even if the vast majority of Pilsudski's army is annihilated in Warsaw!

For the East Prussian People's Liberation Army, it is equivalent to making a table of meals, and as a result, two or even three tables of guests come, and there are really some people who can't be entertained! (To be continued......)
