Constantine. Konstantinovich. Rokossovsky, Li Xiaofeng muttered this name in his heart, as a half-baked military fan, Li Xiaofeng always felt that this name was very familiar, as if he was some big man in the history of the Soviet Union.

But Li Xiaofeng really couldn't remember in which field this Rokossovsky was shining in for a while, so in desperation, he could only study the archives one by one, hoping to open up the dusty memory.

Don't say it, this method really works, after thinking about it for a while, Rokossovsky's military attributes gave Li Xiaofeng inspiration, and he finally remembered where he had seen this Rokossovsky.

An important turning point in the Second World War, the Battle of Stalingrad, there was this Rokossovsky, who was a lieutenant general at that time, served as the commander of the Don Front, served as the younger brother of Zhukov and Vasilevsky, and captured Paulus in the battle.

In fact, Rokossovsky's resume, not only only has such a little honor, as one of the field troika of the Soviet Red Army in World War II, he participated in the Battle of Smolensk and was promoted to lieutenant general, and then participated in the Battle of Moscow, the Battle of Stalingrad, the Battle of Kursk, the Battle of Belarus, the Battle of East Prussia, the Battle of East Pomerania, and the Battle of Berlin, and was known as the "Marshal of Victory".

Although Rokossovsky's reputation is not as resounding as Zhukov, Konev, and Vasilevsky, he is calm-headed, calm-headed, unfazed, and has made many achievements in adversity in the Great Patriotic War of the Soviet Union. He is known as the "Hero of Adversity". He has won dozens of medals, large and small. Among them are the Hero of the Soviet Union, the Order of Victory, the Order of Lenin. A full medal was enough to fill his entire chest.

Of course, Rokossovsky is just 21 years old and was born in 1896 in the city of Velikiye Luki, Pskov Oblast, Russia (just off St. Petersburg, near Latvia, Estonia and Belarus).

Rokossovsky's father was Polish, to be exact, he should have been Polish, of course, Poland was under the rule of the Tsar at that time, so the nationality was still Russian. Rokossovsky in childhood should be said to be relatively happy. His father is a train driver, his mother is a teacher, and the family is not bad, especially his mother attaches great importance to the education of her children. If it weren't for the great changes in the family later, it is estimated that Rokossovsky would have followed the same path as Vasilevsky, would have studied hard, and might have been able to take the civil service exam in the future (Vasilevsky's father was a clergyman. intended to train his son to become a priest, so among the Soviet generals, Vasilevsky had a high level of education, and also attended the Alekseev Military Academy, which was ranked third in Russia at that time).

In Rokossovsky's youth, the elder Konstantin unfortunately died in the line of duty, and soon the second sister and mother died one after another due to family hardships, and in 1910, the 14-year-old Rokossovsky had to drop out of school and work in a factory.

It should be said that Rokossovsky had a difficult time during this period, and he could only barely make ends meet every day after being tired and tired. But although he was disgruntled, he did not think about resisting. It was not until 1912 that a massive workers' movement broke out in Warsaw. The then 16-year-old was also involved, and because of the clash with the gendarmerie, he was put in prison for two months.

It should be said that these two months were the first turning point in Rokossovsky's life, during which he became acquainted with many Bolshevik revolutionaries, and the first to learn about MARXISM was very ignorant, but it is undeniable that it had greatly touched his thoughts.

After being released from prison, poor Rokossovsky lost his job and had to go to his eldest brother-in-law's stone workshop as an apprentice for two years. By 1914. When the First World War broke out, Rokossovsky resolutely falsely declared his age to join the army and became a glorious gray animal under the tsar. …,

It should be said that Rokossovsky was still very talented in combat, and in the cavalry units he repeatedly made meritorious service and was awarded the George Cross of the 4th degree twice. Once George Cross of the 3rd degree, promoted from an ordinary private to a non-commissioned officer. In July 1916, when his Culpol regiment was transferred back to the rear to recuperate, he was also recommended to study in the regimental training team and received rigorous military training.

So why did Rokossovsky appear in the Youth League and become a member of the Central Committee of the League? Quite simply, the rear of Petrograd was a nest of revolution, and all kinds of progressive ideas spread very quickly, and he was originally influenced by the Bolsheviks, and then in Petrograd he met an old acquaintance, that is, the Bolshevik cellmates when he was in prison.

Under the influence of the fellow countryman, the young man Rokossovsky was immediately attracted by the revolution and began to move closer to the party organization without hesitation. It should be said that the party organization welcomed young people like Rokossovsky, and his fellow inmates actively recommended him to Dzerzhinsky.

Dzerzhinsky took the time to meet Rokossovsky several times, and he had a very good impression of this young man, and Dzerzhinsky himself was a Pole, and he did not shy away from his relatives, so he immediately had the idea of cultivating Rokossovsky, and this time Li Xiaofeng was tossing the Shenma Youth League again. Dzerzhinsky felt that it was an opportunity, so he wrote a letter of recommendation, introducing Rokossovsky to join the group first, and if he performed well, he was recommended to join the party.

It must be noted that Rokossovsky himself was not really interested in politics, and approached the Bolsheviks only because he felt that the main thrust of the party was good, and that it spoke for the poor. He didn't have the idea of making a big deal in politics, his purpose was very simple, he was here to learn.

This can also be seen from his later experience, at the end of the Civil War in the USSR, Rokossovsky was identified by the 5th Kuban Cavalry Division of the Red Army, in which Rokossovsky served: "Strong-willed, energetic, decisive, calm and composed. Be as strict with your subordinates as you are with yourself. Caring for others. Loved and supported by his subordinates. Love the military and can easily withstand military life. Possess outstanding intelligence. Love what you do. More attention is paid to combat work, and not enough attention is paid to organizational and administrative work......"

In short, Rokossovsky was a pure military man, not very enthusiastic about politics, and of course this also made him suffer a lot, and during the purges of the thirties, when Rokossovsky was suddenly arrested. He was falsely accused of having ties to Polish and Japanese spy services.

Without saying a word, the Ministry of Internal Affairs sentenced him to death, but fortunately he was still lucky, and only walked on the execution ground, when the two death row prisoners around him who were executed at the same time were executed. Only Rokossovsky was hit with an empty bullet, which can be regarded as picking up a small life.

But now even if Rokossovsky is no longer interested in politics, it is different. What is Dzerzhinsky's identity, a dignified boss at the level of a member of the Central Committee, who rarely writes letters of recommendation. Today's unprecedented recommender, then everyone has to sell this face. Therefore, Rokossovsky was inexplicably elected as a member of the Central Committee of the League, and may even be the head of the Youth Army.

Of course, whether Rokossovsky can become the minister of the Youth Army depends on Li Xiaofeng's meaning. After all, the imprint of Dzerzhinsky on Lao Luo is too obvious, and he is not very good at clearly supporting this person. And after recalling Lao Luo's life, Li Xiaofeng was still a little worried that Lao Luo had no political pursuits, and it might not be appropriate for him to be the minister of the Youth Army. After all, that despicable little monkey was very keen on this position, in case he was jealous. During the purge, it may not be an empty pack of ammunition, but a real gun for food. If you lose a military talent because of this small matter of sesame mung beans, it is really not worth it. …,

However, Li Xiaofeng threw this idea out of the clouds in an instant, Nima, is there a brother who will let Ye Rufu, a monkey, come to power? Will it be tossed around by Stalin? Definitely not sprinkled! That being the case, what else is there to fear. Besides, if you can have a good relationship with Rokossovsky in advance, you will add a lot of talents in the future, and Li Xiaofeng can still count this account.

Therefore, at the beginning of the second round of voting, Li Xiaofeng resolutely voted for Rokossovsky, and it was through his precious vote. Rokossovsky was successfully elected!

This result not only surprised Rokossovsky, but who made him have no desire? It made Stalin's face even more ugly. Stalin clearly knew that Li Xiaofeng had abstained from voting in the first round of voting, and he was quite happy at that time.

For what? Because it was Li Xiaofeng who slapped Ye Rufu in the face at the beginning, and just now he chose Ye Rufu. It's not that Stalin admired Yezhuf, he just tested Li Xiaofeng's attitude. I'm just voting for someone you don't like, if you kid is going to respect my leadership, then you should vote for Ezouv in the second round of voting, if you want to fight me to the end, then you can vote for Rokossovsky, anyway, as long as you choose so, then let's ride a donkey and read the record book and see!

Stalin thought that Li Xiaofeng chose to back down, after all, he had nothing to do with Rokossovsky, and he couldn't turn his face with him, the first secretary, for the sake of Rokossovsky. Stalin thought that there was no need for Li Xiaofeng to contradict him, and the answer to this multiple-choice question could not be clearer. Even if you don't like Yeruf anymore, for the sake of my face, you should continue to abstain.

Who would have thought that Li Xiaofeng would not give face at all, and directly wrote Rokossovsky's name on the ballot paper in front of Stalin, you said that in Stalin's opinion, this is not equivalent to a blatant provocation, so it is easy to understand that Comrade Steel's face is not good, and you have to jump your feet if you are the number one.

If he could, Stalin really wanted to overturn this resolution in person, but democracy in the party still needs to be talked about, and everyone is elected by one person, one vote, even if you are not satisfied, no matter how unhappy you are, can you overturn the collective decision?

Of course, it is impossible to overturn the resolution, but Stalin has other methods, and today he was robbed of the limelight by Li Xiaofeng again and again, making him, the first secretary, an ornament, and he couldn't sleep at night if he didn't want to find a way to win back a game.

"The heads of all departments of the Central Committee of the Communist Youth League have been elected!" Stalin preemptively said, "But I think that it is not enough for the various departments of the Central Committee of the Communist Youth League to have ministers, and it is necessary to continue to elect deputy ministers." The Deputy Minister will assist the Minister in his day-to-day work and act as the Minister when he is unable to serve for any reason! ”

Stalin cleared his throat, pointed at the dejected Yezhuv, and said: "I nominate Yezhuv to be the deputy head of the Organization Department at the same time!" ”

I have to say that Stalin's hand is really disgusting. Knowing that Li Xiaofeng didn't want to see Ye Rufu. also stuffed him into the organization department, and everyone knew that he was not spearheading Li Xiaofeng and wanted to slap Li Xiaofeng in the face. For a while, several people present didn't dare to speak, and they all looked at Li Xiaofeng, wanting to see how the second secretary and organization minister would accept the recruitment.

Seriously, this trick is not easy to accept, and if it is not done well, something big will happen, and Stalin was a member of the Party Central Committee and the first secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Youth League in any case, and to a large extent his words represented the party's intentions. He was openly nominated, if not Yezul. Then it is a slap in the face of Stalin, and the consequences can be big or small, not to mention the small, but to say the big. That's going to be a big deal.

At this time, Li Xiaofeng's statement is very critical, if he pinched his nose and admitted it, then everyone would not mind voting for Ye Rufu, anyway, he is a deputy minister, how big a wave can be turned, the organization minister has no opinion, what are we doing with this? …,

However, if Li Xiaofeng openly opposes it, then the talk here will be too big, and to a large extent, it will mean that the organization minister is going to argue with the first secretary. Your status as the first secretary is noble, but my organization minister just doesn't admit it, what can you do with me?

The position of the head of the organization department is too crucial, if the secretary cannot control the organization department, then the power of the secretary will be greatly reduced, I have to say that Stalin, the first secretary, is very sad, Lenin only gave him an office director, only in charge of the daily affairs of the Central Committee of the League, the key personnel power is in Li Xiaofeng, Stalin just wanted to establish the League organization into his own fortress and self-reserved land, it is impossible.

Of course. The reverse is also true, no matter what Li Xiaofeng says, he is only the second secretary, even if he has an organization department, it does not mean that he covers the sky with one hand, and Stalin and Georgi check and balance him. I can't make any big waves.

Lenin's balance of power was masterfully played, with Stalin and Li Xiaofeng checking each other. It avoids the possibility of a monopoly group organization turning into a one-word hall, which invisibly reduces a lot of risks and avoids the two of them from tossing around. From the point of view of intra-party democracy, this is necessary.

It's a pity that this situation is not so wonderful for the two parties, no one can get rid of the other and do it alone, although it is democratic, but it is difficult to ensure the efficiency of decision-making. For example, now, do you listen to the first secretary or the head of the organization?

Li Xiaofeng threw out a sentence lightly: "I nominate Comrade Kosygin to be the deputy director of the Organization Department!" ”

Yes, Li Xiaofeng did not reject Stalin's proposal, but put forward his own candidate. It seems that Ye Rufu has not been denied, but everyone knows that this is called no positive denial. It's not negative from the front, it's still negative from the side!

The nomination of Kosygin shows that Li Xiaofeng is not interested in Yeruf, that is to say, he does not agree with Yeruf, which is equivalent to a slap in the face to Stalin. Comrade Steel's face is really as black as the bottom of a pot, Li Xiaofeng has already made his attitude clear, what else does he have to say, what is the work of the knife and gun, it depends on whether you are the head of the organization who laughs the most, or my first secretary is more skilled.

"In that case, let's start voting!" Stalin said coldly.

"Slow!" Li Xiaofeng shouted to stop.

Stalin asked impatiently: "What else do you have?" ”

Li Xiaofeng said with a smile: "The Central Committee of the Communist Youth League is not a hall of words, nor is it a hall of words, and all comrades have the right to nominate and self-recommend. I think it is better to ask for the opinions of comrades and see if there are any comrades who are interested in the organizational work. Democratic election, let a hundred flowers bloom! ”

Stalin did not take Li Xiaofeng's words seriously, and secretly scolded someone as a hypocrite, what does it mean to implement the party's leadership? Of course, is it the intention of the party organization to be realized? Also Nima is full of flowers, everyone rushes up to grab the official position, what does that look like! Where does that place the party's intentions?

Stalin disdained this from the bottom of his heart, but the face project had to be done, so he said in a very tough tone: "Are there any comrades who want to run for election?" Hurry up and sign up! If not, let's start campaigning! ”

Who doesn't like the work of the Organization Department, especially the deputy head of the Organization Department, according to the words of later generations, it is really fat. But who dares to come up and run right now? The first secretary and the second secretary have begun to merge, who would dare to join in the fun? Tired of living?

Therefore, not a single one of you responded to Stalin's words, and no one dared to come up and run for election. seemed to be very satisfied with this situation, Stalin smiled contemptuously at Li Xiaofeng, that means, no one dares to respond to you if you see it, this is the authority of our first secretary!

"Then don't grind and start voting!" Stalin commanded with some smugness.

Fifteen people voted, how much time it could take, and after a few minutes, the results came out. Three votes were in favor of Yezud, four were in favor of Kosygin, and the remaining eight abstained. The moment he saw the result, Stalin's face was very wonderful, if it weren't for the fact that his beard was too hard to blow, otherwise, it would have been in response to the words of blowing his beard and glaring.

Could Stalin not be angry? Just now Yezud lost to Rokossovsky, it was a difference of one vote, and now he has lost to Kosygin, it is still a difference of one vote. Where is there such a coincidence, he jumped up at the first time, pointed at Li Xiaofeng's nose and shouted: "You cheat!" ”

"Fraud?" Li Xiaofeng smiled contemptuously, spread the ballots on the table one by one, and sneered: "Comrades who don't believe in this result can check it for themselves." Some comrades just don't respect the choice of democratic voting and the collective decision of the CYL Central Committee! ”

Stalin was so angry! He really wanted to refute it, but the results of the ballots on the table were clear, and it was impossible to fake them. But if you ask him to accept this result, it is also impossible, it is to dig out his mind with his head down and find a way to find a thorn.

But Li Xiaofeng would not give him this opportunity, and directly clapped his decision: "I now announce that Comrade Kosygin has been officially elected as the deputy head of the Organization Department after democratic elections. (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation and monthly passes, and your support is my biggest motivation. )
