After making a plan to snatch the train, Li Xiaofeng didn't care much about it. It's not that he doesn't pay attention to it, but there are too many things he needs to pay attention to, and he can't do everything himself, so he can only make a plan for the general direction and hand it over to the people below to implement.

As soon as the matter was over, Li Xiaofeng left Moscow by plane, and he will fly directly to Newfoundland to attend the meeting of the foreign ministers of the five countries. Which five countries? Britain, the United States, France, and the Soviet Union added an East Prussia, and as the German army retreated, there were so many disputes between the Allies that needed to be discussed and resolved, and the foreign ministers had to meet from time to time to resolve the new problems.

There may be comrades who are strange, it should be the People's Commissar for Foreign Affairs to go, what does it have to do with Li Xiaofeng? Didn't Garrahan make a mess of things and was dismissed from his post before, so for the time being, the People's Commissar for Foreign Affairs was vacant, and at this time the People's Commissar for Foreign Affairs was very important, and the chairman and deputy chairman of the People's Commissariat should not be allowed to do diplomacy in person. So in desperation, Li Xiaofeng temporarily acted for this position.

"What is the main topic of this meeting?" Li Xiaofeng closed his eyes and leaned on the back of the seat and asked comfortably.

But Vyshinsky opposite him was not so comfortable, the deputy People's Commissar for Foreign Affairs did not have a good reputation in history, as the prosecutor general of the Iron Age and the deputy member of the People's Commissariat of Justice, he was the one who provided the theoretical basis for the Great Purge. This was shouting that the criminal law was a step. The tools and confessions of the struggle are the kings of evidence, and they are quite good at creating unjust, false and wrongful cases.

Of course, Li Xiaofeng's most impressive quote was: "In our country, which is rich in natural resources, there will not and will not be the kind of food shortage that has occurred before." It is now clear why a certain part of our country is not working well in terms of supply, and why our country, which has a lot of land and resources, is suddenly short of food. The culprits of all this turned out to be these traitors! ”

Li Xiaofeng is really impressed by someone's mouth that can reverse black and white, it's a pity that such a person stays in the country with such a mouth to engage in infighting, so let's go out and harm foreigners! Therefore, after Li Xiaofeng acted as the People's Commissar for Foreign Affairs, he immediately transferred him from the People's Commissariat for Justice. And this is the main reason why Vyshinsky is a little nervous at this time.

Yes, Vyshinsky really couldn't figure out what a certain immortal thought, he had lived comfortably in the People's Commissariat of Justice before, at least it was safe. Suddenly, a certain immortal directly named him and asked him to do diplomacy. The "re-education movement" gives people the feeling of turning the tiger away from the mountain and then picking up their lives.

Vyshinsky felt that he was probably being targeted by Li Xiaofeng, why? Is it still hard to find the reason? He had been following Si before. Da Lin mixed up, Si. After the fall of Dalin, he was only transferred to the law school as the dean for a few years because he was not deeply involved, and then he returned to the People's Commissariat of Justice after getting through Sverdlov's connections.

From the perspective of personnel attributes, the first is Si. Dalin's people, secondly, he has a relationship with Sverdlov, no matter how you look at it, they are Li Xiaofeng's enemies, and if you transfer an enemy to your side, you have to say that this is not training and cleaning up, who believes it!

Truth be told, Vyshinski felt that he was too unlucky. When Dalin was in the past, he made plans, but it was behind the scenes, and as a staff member and the person who made the suggestion, he would not be so hateful to the specific executor. Of course, because it's just a mouth, he's in Si. The status of the Daelim group is not very high, at least on the periphery of the core.

This. After Dalin fell, Vyshinsky decisively grabbed his tail and immediately followed him. Dalin drew a clear line, and this good performance allowed him not to be knocked down with a stick, but only transferred to an unimportant position. At that time, he also wanted to leave Li Xiaofeng's relationship, but a certain immortal didn't pay attention to him at that time, and even ignored him a little, and Trotsky couldn't go there, so he couldn't really spend the rest of his life on the cold bench, right?

So at that time, Vyshinsky decisively began to follow the path of Sverdlov, and after some efforts, he finally returned to the center of power. Of course, this time Vyshinsky was very careful, because he knew that Sverdlov's position was not stable, and if he turned against Li Xiaofeng and the two sides tore up, Xiao Si was afraid that he would be more than lucky. So he decisively kept his distance from Sverdlov and did not enter Xiao Si's inner circle, so to speak, most of the time he was wise to protect himself, and the prevention was to be liquidated again.

It's just that what Vyshinsky didn't expect was that he thought he was low-key enough, who would have thought that he would still be involved in the whirlpool of right and wrong, and he couldn't figure out why someone would embarrass him for such a small role.

So is Li Xiaofeng really embarrassed by Vyshinsky? Is it to transfer him over to knock on the mountain and shake the tiger? What's that, you also underestimate Li Xiaofeng, he really doesn't like Vyshinsky very much, this guy is insidious enough, and cunning and cunning, always puts his personal interests and safety first, and he will hesitate at the slightest disturbance. Li Xiaofeng doesn't like this kind of half-hearted person, which is also an important reason why Vyshinsky didn't get a response back then. If you don't sincerely help the boss share your worries, who will use you half-heartedly? It is not even ruled out that one day the boss will fall and you will go up and bite back, this kind of person should keep his distance!

Of course, keeping your distance doesn't mean you can't use it, the key is how to use it. It is definitely not possible to develop into his own circle, isn't he firm! So I can only put it on the periphery, and I don't discriminate and despise him, just knock it when I should use it, and let him play his ability honestly. When you run out, you can do whatever you want, and don't give him too much thought. It is to put pressure on him, and use pressure to let him do things honestly, so that he will not push back and make Qin and Duchu.

Obviously, Sverdlov did not understand this, and judging from the fact that he quickly rescued Vyshinsky from the whirlpool and entrusted a more important position, he was ready to buy and win over Vyshinsky. It's just that he didn't expect that Vyshinsky was a fox, and his thief eyes were quite sharp, and he was not willing to die hard for Xiao Si at all, but he had been lukewarm and perfunctory. You say he doesn't make a effort, he does, but the strength is always not in place, there is always some reservation, and once something happens, he immediately shrinks back.

So, over the years, Sverdlov's use of Vyshinsky has been quite problematic and does not really make Vyshinsky work. For a person like him, it doesn't make much sense to buy, he is purely a grass on the wall, and if the enemy is too strong, he will definitely shrink his eggs. To make good use of him, you have to put pressure on him to do what you want.

Of course, Li Xiaofeng's transfer of Vyshinsky this time is definitely not revenge, is there a need for revenge for goods like him? To put it mildly, Vyshinsky is a dog who succumbs to power, as long as you have power, you don't have to whip him, he will obediently kneel and lick. The most important thing in transferring Vyshinsky is to value his mouth, and it just so happens that there is no talent for diplomacy for the time being, so it is still okay to take him out for emergencies.

And there is another advantage to using Vyshinsky at this time, as mentioned earlier, he defected to Sverdlov before, although that level of defection is a complete joke, but anyway, Vyshinsky still has the label of Sverdlov. Li Xiaofeng got Garrahan down before, which must have made Sverdlov quite annoyed, and if a person with the label of Li Xiaofeng or Trotsky was replaced as the deputy member of the People's Commissariat for Foreign Affairs at this time, then Sverdlov would definitely take revenge.

Of course, Li Xiaofeng is not afraid of Sverdlov's retaliation, but this is the time when the competition on the diplomatic front is the most intense, and he should unanimously snatch more diplomatic interests for the Soviet Union, instead of engaging in internal fighting behind closed doors, which really outweighs the losses. So it was necessary to appoint a guy who had the label of the Sverdlov faction, but who actually didn't work hard. Isn't it ideal that he would be able to dispel Sverdlov's idea of provoking infighting and be able to complete diplomatic tasks?

However, Li Xiaofeng will not explain all this to Vyshinsky, once he finds out that the situation is favorable to him, he will immediately have no motivation to start grinding foreign workers, so he simply does not give him a good face, and makes him mistakenly think that his form is very bad, and then he will do everything possible to satisfy Li Xiaofeng and carry out his work well. How else is politics complicated? Just one person has so much attention to employing people, and it is possible to fall into the ditch if you are not careful.

Vyshinsky was trained very honestly at this time, and replied in a precarious manner: "Comrade Andrei, there are two topics for the time being, the first is the question of Italy, with the basic liberation of the whole territory of Italy, the future of Italy needs to be planned for a long time; The second issue is the question of post-war reparations, which arises from the question of Italy. How much the Axis countries need to compensate and how to compensate is a big question. In addition to this, the British have asked for a discussion of Iran, and they seem to have reached some agreement with the United States, although we don't know if the British will raise the issue. ”

Li Xiaofeng nodded slightly, and continued to close his eyes and think there, leaving Vyshinsky there, looking like he really didn't like Vyshinsky. At least that's how Vyshinsky himself sees it, in his opinion, a certain immortal is deliberately beating him, so he hurriedly puts his attitude more correct, almost treating a certain immortal with a student-to-teacher, a slave to a master.

After a long time, Li Xiaofeng slowly opened his eyes and asked, "What are your views and suggestions on these issues?" ”

It is impossible that Vyshinsky has not thought about these problems, in fact, he has been working in this area before, and has a whole set of relatively mature ideas, which is to prevent Li Xiaofeng's surprise interrogation.

"Comrade Andrei, I think that the reason why Britain and the United States raised the so-called Italian question at this time is actually that the drunkard does not mean to drink, so why should he raise the Italian question? What's wrong with Italy? That's the key! ”

Li Xiaofeng didn't say anything, but just motioned to Vyshinsky to continue, and the latter didn't dare to say it sloppily and hurried on: "There are only two core issues for Italy, one is the occupation after its surrender, and the other is the issue of reparations. According to the previous agreement of the Allies, Italy was to be occupied by the Allies, but now it seems that Britain and the United States did not mean to fulfill this agreement. I am afraid that they want to do our work at this meeting and force us to relinquish that power. ”

Vyshinsky glanced at Li Xiaofeng, and saw that the latter still didn't say anything, so he could only cheer up and continue: "Even I have deeper worries, even the West is unwilling to fulfill its responsibilities for such a trivial matter as partition occupation, so I am afraid that on the issue of reparations, they will probably set up more obstacles, or comprehensively suppress the compensation we should receive." In this way, Italy could be preserved as much as possible, allowing them to act as the vanguard of the anti-Soviet war in the Mediterranean and southern Europe! ”

It should be said that Vyshinsky's analysis is still very insightful, because Li Xiaofeng has the same view as him, Britain and the United States are by no means willing to let the Soviet Union's influence enter Italy, what they have been doing for hundreds of years is to encircle Tsarist Russia in the direction of southern Europe, and now Tsarist Russia has been replaced by the Soviet Union, and it is naturally the same

Obviously, Britain and the United States would never allow Soviet troops to enter Italy and station, as the so-called invitation to God is easier than sending God, and in the view of Britain and the United States, once the Soviet Union broke through the blockade line in southern Europe, the situation in the entire Mediterranean would be completely changed. It is conceivable that at the next meeting of foreign ministers, Britain and the United States will do everything in their power to force the Soviet Union to dispel this idea. Of course, Li Xiaofeng also wants to see what tricks Britain and the United States will play, to be honest, it's very interesting.

However, Li Xiaofeng still wanted to hear Vyshinsky's response plan, he must know whether it is reliable to hand over the daily work of the People's Commissariat for Foreign Affairs to this guy, and if his ideas are contrary to his own, then it is better to quickly change someone.

"What I need is your advice, what do you think we should do about these problems, not this bland nonsense!" Li Xiaofeng behaved very politely.

However, his unkindness was too normal in Vyshinsky's opinion, and the venomous man felt that the chrysanthemum was tight, and quickly explained: "I think we should be tough on safeguarding the rights and interests of our country." The garrison of Italy was clearly written in black and white in the previous agreement, which cannot be reversed! We must not follow the rhythm of Britain and the United States, and it is better to implement this agreement. ”

"Hmm." Li Xiaofeng nodded slightly, and did not give more expression, but said: "Okay, you can also go down and continue to think about it, what better suggestions can be put forward." ”

Vyshinsky left Li Xiaofeng's cabin with a white sweat, it can be imagined that this poisonous man is probably very nervous at this time, because Li Xiaofeng's attitude is really not good, in his opinion, I am afraid that the advice he gave is not good enough, and he has not been able to scratch the itch of the chief. And this is quite dangerous in Vyshinsky's view, which means that he has not won Li Xiaofeng's approval, and his position is precarious.

Poor Vyshinsky was frightened, and after returning to his position, he hurriedly used his brain, what was it about him that did not satisfy Li Xiaofeng?

This issue is indeed critical, and Vyshinski has indeed failed to completely satisfy Li Xiaofeng, who can probably score 70 points against him, which can only be regarded as good, and there is still a distance from being excellent.

So what was Li Xiaofeng's attitude towards the partition occupation of Italy? He basically agreed with Vyshinsky's judgment that it might not be so easy to go to the Italian garrison, and the resistance from the British and American sides would be very great. But this is really the power of the USSR and cannot be given up casually.

Let's put it this way, the garrison in Italy was a chicken rib for the Soviet Union, and it was a pity to abandon it if it was tasteless. If you take a tough stance on this issue and insist on staying to the end, then it is not impossible to have a symbolic garrison in Italy, and Britain and the United States can completely put one or two thousand Soviet Red Army troops to Italy, but this is more like a slap in the face?

If you can't get a base in Italy, station a heavy army or even a fleet, then garrisoning Italy is a joke, a waste of money, and it's just a good face.

Li Xiaofeng is unwilling to do this kind of thing that will lose face and lose his heart, if he wants to garrison Italy, he must play really, formalism and don't. Of course, this is something that Britain and the United States will never agree to. So what Li Xiaofeng means is that he can choose not to save face, and use the garrison of Italy to make a deal with Britain and the United States in exchange for a little substantive benefit?

I'm afraid Li Xiaofeng doesn't mean this either, it's not impossible to make a transaction, but both sides of the transaction have to feel that it's worth it, right? For Britain and the United States, it is natural that they want to send the Soviet Union through three melons and two dates, and the problem is politics. Willing to do it? And if Britain and the United States want to offer substantial benefits in exchange for the Soviet Union to abandon the garrison in Italy, I am afraid that Britain and the United States will find it uneconomical. After all, there is not a single Red Army on the Apennine Peninsula now, and it is completely under the control of the Anglo-American coalition forces, so why should they cut a piece of the territory they have fought to the polar bears?

Therefore, the proposals that Britain and the United States can come up with to compensate the Soviet Union are probably chicken ribs, and such a deal is naturally impossible to achieve. In other words, there is no room for compromise between the two sides on this matter. It can't end in a comedy that everyone is happy with.

So what happens if the two sides can't get along? I am afraid that Britain and the United States will join forces to disgust the Soviet Union and give the Soviet Union a little symbolic power to garrison troops to prevaricate. If the Soviet Union does not accept it, then Britain and the United States are likely to directly tear their faces and not give face, not even this symbolic face, anyway, Italy is under their control, is it possible that you, the Soviet Union, can brave the world's condemnation to start the three-war mode?

Anyway, I'm afraid it's unlikely that Britain and the United States will back down, so isn't the best outcome for the Soviet Union to get as many melons and two dates back as possible? According to Vyshinsky's tone, he is probably inclined to squeeze a little more oil and water, and this probably seems to him to be the limit.

And this is unacceptable to Li Xiaofeng, not that a certain immortal wants to save face, but in his opinion, such a compromise will lose greater benefits. Yes, Britain and the United States gave three melons and two more dates, and you Soviet Union accepted it, which means that your Soviet Union chose to recognize the British and American practices on this issue, and there is no so-called controversy.

This seemed to preserve the unity of the Allies and world peace, but it was quite detrimental to the national interests of the Soviet Union as a whole. By deduce, today you in the Soviet Union were sent away in Italy by three melons and two dates, tomorrow in Japan, will the Americans be able to do the same? After all, he is the boss in the Pacific Theater, the strongest, if he really wants to swallow Japan alone, who can resist?

If this situation really arises, whether to let it or not, if it is to let it, it will be another loss of national interests, and if it is not allowed, the Americans will still have an excuse, he thinks that this is the Italian model, since you Soviet Union could accept the Italian model before, why do you want to "toss around" on the Japanese issue now? With Yankee's urine, it will definitely be a rake!

Not only Japan, but also the more critical German issue, according to Li Xiaofeng's previous thinking, Germany is absolutely going to be monopolized, once the Italian model is accepted, then it will be difficult to talk about the future occupation of Germany alone. You can't say, "If you Britain and the United States have swallowed Italy alone, Germany will be mine, right?" ”

At that time, Britain and the United States had something to say: "Italy, you polar bear gave up!" Germany: We didn't give up! ”

Isn't that passive? Therefore, the correct thing to do is to leave a foreshadowing on the issue of the occupation of Italy, and to silence Britain and the United States for the subsequent monopoly of Germany. Therefore, the mode of struggle is rather special, not only to uphold the principle of maintaining the legitimate power of the Soviet Union to station troops in Italy, but also not to let Britain and the United States find out that this is a pit, and to ensure that the Soviet Union will legally occupy Germany in the future. To fully accomplish these two things, it would take quite a lot of skill, and unfortunately there weren't too many people in the Soviet Union who had them. Trotsky had, Sverdlov didn't necessarily have, and Li Xiaofeng thought he had.

As for whether Vyshinsky has it or not, it's hard to say for the time being, but Li Xiaofeng believes that if Vyshinsky is given the right hint and guidance, the combat effectiveness of this poisonous tongue man can still be expected.

The question now is when to tell Vyshinsky the cards that the question of the German occupation is, after all, highly classified and is now only in politics. The internal communication of the governance bureau has been out of politics. No one knows about the situation. If the news is leaked too early, it will be a little unbeautiful.

Because Li Xiaofeng is very clear that the government. The governance situation may be able to keep secrets for a short time, but at the ********** level, the speed of secret leakage is really fast, and no one can prevent the members of the Central Committee from privately engaging in tandem and communication, not even Li Xiaofeng. And once the members of the Central Committee knew, it was only a matter of time before the British and American spies knew the truth.

Therefore, Li Xiaofeng could only temporarily say sorry to Vyshinsky, and for a while the new deputy People's Commissar for Foreign Affairs could only carry out his work in a foggy manner. What is the idea of governing the situation?

This is really difficult for ordinary people to grasp, but Li Xiaofeng believes that Vyshinsky has this ability, and just imagine, if even Vyshinsky does not know what the ultimate goal is, then the British and American foreign ministers who negotiate with him probably do not know even more, so that the true intentions of the Soviet Union can be kept secret for a longer time......
