220 Big Mistakes (Part I)
Stalin suddenly pulled Trotsky out, and his intentions were full of malice. It was somewhat taken for granted that since the plan of the Master Tutor was advantageous to the Leninists, Trotsky, as the greatest rival of the Leninists, would never remain indifferent. If he were Trotsky, Lenin would not have taken advantage of such a big advantage, and he would have messed up the matter.
In general, there may be a situation as Stalin predicted, but now it is not a general situation. Everyone knows how bad the political and economic situation in Russia is today, and if the Bolsheviks do not come up with the means to dominate, they will probably not be able to stabilize their power at all.
Under such special circumstances, both Lenin and Trotsky would have chosen to proceed from the overall situation and unite as much as possible to overcome the difficulties together. Previously, Lenin had chosen to trust Trotsky, and this time Trotsky would naturally reciprocate.
Therefore, the kind of scenario envisaged by Stalin would not have occurred at all, and Trotsky could see at a glance the operability and practicality of the plan just now, not to mention the solution of the economic crisis, and at this time as long as it could alleviate the economic crisis, Trotsky would have approved with both hands.
As a result, Stalin was immediately struck in the face, and Trotsky said slowly: "I personally have no opinion on this program, and in the present situation it is inappropriate to one-sidedly emphasize the class struggle and to engage in it one-sidedly...... At present, China's social and economic foundations are at a very low stage, and one-sided administration according to classical theories is tantamount to cutting down enough to fit the ...... We Bolsheviks must not do such stupid things! ”
Although Trotsky did not directly say that I supported Lenin's program, he meant much the same as direct support. He even made a vague idea. That is, not to put too much emphasis on the class struggle. It is necessary to use flexible means to solve practical problems.
This suggestion was scientific, and of course Trotsky was selfish in saying this, because after he had put forward the idea of appointing old officers and intellectuals, many dogmatists and apologists were not satisfied, but they were forced by Lenin to join forces with him and did not dare to express their dissatisfaction directly.
But Trotsky knew that this was only a temporary suppression of them, and that the time had come. These people will also jump out to find fault. Will keep trying to pick the bone out of the egg. So how do you defeat a politician? That is to morally denigrate him and destroy his positive image. And what could be more damaging to a man's prestige than to make him a demon?
At the right time, Lenin suddenly threw out a more radical line than his previous plan, which gave Trotsky hope that if he had not fought alone, and had been able to set the tone together with Lenin, even if some ill-intentioned fellows wanted to make trouble, I am afraid that they would have to weigh it more.
Trotsky succeeded, for his advice. Lenin was also positive, although his mentor did not agree positively with the need not to emphasize the class struggle one-sidedly. But the meaning is pretty much the same. Anyway, Stalin's face was very ugly at that time. So much so that after the meeting was dismissed, when facing his comrades and staff, the angry steel directly knocked off the table.
"Comrade Lenin has turned his back on the basic theories and basic principles of communism, and in the face of some completely insurmountable difficulties, he did not choose to fight to the end, but turned around and fled! The working class has been betrayed and capitalism is being inevitably restored in Russia! ”
Combined with Stalin's hideous expression, his declaration looked murderous, at least his comrades and aides felt murderous, no one dared to speak, a few pairs of eyes you look at me, I look at you, no one dares to touch this brow.
And this silence undoubtedly annoyed Stalin even more, and to be honest, the reason why he hissed so hard was not to vent his anger, but to show his own people an attitude of unyielding struggle to the end, to stimulate morale.
But who knew that his performance had a completely counterproductive effect, and his morale not only did not improve, but fell to the bottom, which really embarrassed steel. Even he himself wondered a little - what's the matter with you guys? The food king's Lu stall divides the king's worries! Lao Tzu is cheering you on now, how can you not say a word?
At that time, the goods were even more annoyed, slammed the table, and said angrily: "Let's talk about how we can correct the mistakes of the party's line, if we continue to advance along this wrong road, the revolution will turn into a dead end!" As a glorious Bolshevik, it is our duty and obligation to stop this mistake! ”
It is a pity that there are still no people who dare to speak, because all of them here are human spirits, although they are all pro-Stalinists, but in a broad sense, they belong to the big mountain of Leninism. And now it is Lenin, not Stalin, who is leading this mountain.
What is the nature of route errors? Before the October Revolution, there was a dark fight over the question of the line, and the two bigwigs of the Leninist faction, Kamenev and Zinoviev, collapsed with a bang, and even a large number of old revolutionaries fell into the ditch.
And now, Comrade Steel, your political influence is not as great as that of Kamenev and Zinoviev at that time. No, to be precise, not even one of the two. In this case, you are openly preparing to contradict your Guru, Nima, isn't this a proper death?
Knowing that there are tigers in the mountains and are biased towards the tigers, there are three possibilities for this kind of person: first, that is, this product has two diseases and wants to die; second, it is that this product has a strong strength as a backing, and is not afraid of tigers; Third, it was this thing who misestimated his own strength and regarded the tiger as a sick cat.
Was Stalin a second-class patient? It may be a bit like, at least not yet, so the first possibility is ruled out; Was Stalin's power strong enough? It has already been said before, no!
Therefore, the bigwigs present unanimously came to a unified conclusion - Stalin overestimated his strength, and he was ready to hit a stone with an egg!
No one wants to be a friend of death, especially in politics. There will be no one to die with you. For those who are about to die. More people will just choose to fall into the well - alha. You're going to bring about your own destruction, and you don't allow others to take advantage of it. You're going to die anyway, so it's a waste use!
At this time, many of Stalin's close friends had two thoughts in their minds, one was to consider drawing a line with Stalin immediately, and the other was to consider whether to report Stalin's dangerous actions to his mentor first. This can not only get rid of the danger of burning jade, but also make a great contribution, killing two birds with one stone!
Poor Stalin. If he knew that what he had just said had the opposite effect, he would probably be so angry that he would hit the wall. Because this product has no intention of dying at all, he is not ready to turn his face with Lenin, this product really does not have the courage to do so now!
The reason why Stalin emphasized the question of what line was to boost morale - he just wanted to say that his proposition was theoretically correct and great, and that if you follow me, brothers, you are walking on the right path, and the future is very bright!
To put it bluntly, Stalin just wanted to strengthen the morale of his subordinates. Mitigate the negative impact of your failure at today's meeting, lest some comrades desert. Pity. His methods were so clumsy that he frightened the big guys.
However, not everyone was frightened, for example, Mikoyan had always been very calm, only he had full insight into Stalin's true intentions, and he knew that he did not have the courage and determination to turn against his mentor. Of course, even if Stalin had such courage, Mikoyan would not have accompanied him.
Mikoyan was well aware that Stalin was only trying to alleviate his passivity, after all, he was the only one who did not please him at today's meeting, and he had run into a wall with both Trotsky and Lenin. For the politically sensitive party bigwigs, it is inevitable to look down on Stalin's future, and Stalin is now ready to save or alleviate this passivity.
It's so clumsy!
Mikoyan sighed secretly in his heart, if you want to stabilize the morale of the army, don't make it too sluggish and easy to be cold. The more you create an atmosphere of precarious fear, the faster the people around you will escape. Especially the tone of your speech just now, it's simply the rhythm of rebellion! Who would dare to follow you!
In Mikoyan's view, Stalin's strategy of stabilizing the morale of the army was the opposite, but the means were really poor. It's better for you to pretend to be pitiful than to pretend to be dead at this time! At least pretending to be pitiful can win sympathy, at least pretending to be pitiful does not seem to have much risk in the eyes of the wall grass here. Let's see what kind of plane you're doing!
Well, although Mikoyan was very disdainful of Stalin's methods, he really couldn't stand by it, and if he didn't do something, it was very likely that many people would run to report Stalin's reactionary remarks to his mentor tonight.
And if Lenin had heard these reactionary remarks, although he would not have done anything with Stalin for the time being, in the long run, it would be tantamount to adding points to Sverdlov. In the long run, Stalin will only become more and more marginalized by Lenin.
Thinking of this, Mikoyan hurriedly spoke: "Comrade Stalin, I personally think that your judgment is too pessimistic. The situation is not as bad as you think, and even if Trotsky could have betrayed the proletariat, Comrade Lenin would never have done it! ”
Originally, Stalin was a little happy to see that someone had finally spoken, and it was somewhat considered to have broken the embarrassing situation. But as soon as Mikoyan opened his mouth, he completely denied what he had just said, and completely destroyed the desolate atmosphere that he had managed to create. You must know that Stalin was originally going to further exaggerate the atmosphere of the ruined boat, and this kind of stirring is all over.
At that time, Stalin was angry and asked angrily: "Anastas. Comrade Ivanovich, how did you come to such a completely wrong conclusion? Could it be that everything that is happening at the Central Committee today is something I have made up? Your insensitive attitude is very alarming! The bourgeoisie has infiltrated our party, and you are not in a hurry at all, and you are still whitewashing the peace, you are bringing about your own destruction! ”
Mikoyan is simply powerless to complain - you are the one who brought about your own destruction, Lao Tzu is the one who saves you. Why don't you look at the expressions of the surrounding wall grass now! If you keep making trouble, you're going to fall apart!
Mikoyan didn't want Stalin to be finished, and he faced Stalin's fury. Without flinching, he said, "Comrade Joseph." I still stick to my previous point. Your understanding of the situation is too one-sided. Comrade Lenin had absolutely no intention of changing course! Forced by the current crisis situation, he had to take a series of measures, which were only temporary and forced! In this case, the choice he made is unaccountable and should not be criticized! You have to understand his painstaking efforts! ”
Stalin had never seen Mikoyan's attitude so resolute, and when he was angry, Mikoyan used to think that his anger was unreasonable. It's also a roundabout job, where is it so straightforward as it is now?
Wrong! Problematic!
As a statesman, Stalin's political sensibilities finally came into play, and he glanced at Mikoyan with suspicious eyes and slowly asked: "Do you think I am wrong?" ”
"Yes, you misunderstood!" Seeing that Stalin had finally come to his senses, Mikoyan was secretly relieved, and he also softened: "I think it is very necessary for you to have an in-depth exchange with Comrade Lenin, through which I think the misunderstanding between you and him will be cleared up at once!" ”
Stalin did not fully understand what kind of medicine was sold in the Mikoyan gourd. But with the buffer of time just now, he also noticed that the expressions of the henchmen around him were more or less unnatural. Although he doesn't fully understand where the root of the problem lies. But he was able to accept Mikoyan's advice. Anyway, he didn't want to turn his face with Lenin, and it didn't hurt to listen to Mikoyan's visit to meet his mentor and chat and exchange opinions.
"Okay! I accept the suggestion," Stalin immediately nodded, and ordered: "You come with me, too, and we will continue to talk about this in the car." ”
When Stalin and Mikoyan left, Stalin's henchmen were greatly relieved, at least Stalin could still listen to his opinions and take the initiative to communicate with his mentor, which showed that Steel had not made a fool and did not intend to really break the net. Although the problem is still not cleared, there is a new buffer time, and they can at least wait and see.
In the car, when Stalin asked the reason why Mikoyan suddenly called at him, he was in a cold sweat, the conscience of heaven and earth, he just wanted to boost morale and stabilize the position, let him go and die with his mentor, just thinking about Stalin was a cold sweat.
"Do you mean that I can no longer go against Comrade Lenin, which is likely to lead to unforeseen consequences?"
Mikoyan nodded: "That's right, now you have a head-on conflict with Comrade Lenin, there is no benefit or need at all. It would be unwise to make such a point of view publicly, in particular! ”
Stalin wiped the cold sweat from his head with palpitations, and only then did he realize that the atmosphere was so weird just now. As a smart man, he immediately thought of the means that those close friends might take to get rid of themselves.
Thinking of this, Stalin was even more drenched in a cold sweat, and said with great feeling: "Anastas. Comrade Ivanovich, thanks to you today, otherwise the consequences would have been unimaginable! ”
Mikoyan was about to be modest, but Stalin could not wait to interrupt him: "Don't be modest, you can afford this thank you...... However, now there is one more question, what should I do now? Really went to see Comrade Lenin? ”
Stalin probably felt that now that he had come to his senses and understood where the root of the problem was, there was nothing more than a problem with the way he encouraged and stabilized morale. In his opinion, as long as this little problem was corrected, everything would be solved, and there was no need to communicate anything with Lenin.
However, Mikoyan's reaction was completely unexpected, and Mikoyan insisted: "No, on the contrary, now you have to go to Comrade Lenin!" And the sooner the better! ”
Stalin was puzzled for a moment, and asked rhetorically: "For what?" ”
Yes, Stalin was indeed a little reluctant to go to Lenin, he really had a lot of opinions about Lenin, and he didn't want to meet with his mentor so soon. However, Mikoyan pointed out with a burst of blood: "Comrade Joseph, when you went out just now, you announced that you were going to communicate and exchange with Comrade Lenin...... If the comrades who were there just now were informed that you did not go to see Comrade Lenin, what do you think would be the consequences? ”
Stalin was immediately dumbfounded, and he could naturally come up with the consequences, which were nothing more than a little report that someone who might be a little uneasy about beating him to Lenin in order to clear himself!
"Go and see Comrade Lenin!" Stalin made this decision categorically, but he still had no idea what to talk about when he met Lenin, and he couldn't point his old man's nose at his old man in front of his mentor and accuse him of betraying the proletariat, right?
"That's fine!" Mikoyan threw out such a sentence very calmly, and that indifference made Stalin's egg hurt, and he complained in his heart - you don't have a backache when you stand and talk! If I accuse Comrade Lenin like this, it will be a rhythm of smacking to the end!
"No!" Mikoyan shook his head firmly, "If you sincerely communicate and exchange with Comrade Lenin, not only will there be no danger, but on the contrary, Comrade Lenin will change his opinion of you!" ”
What the?
Stalin couldn't believe his ears, this proper rhythm of death could change Lenin's opinion of him, you must be crazy!
However, when Stalin stared at Mikoyan, when he tried to find evidence that Mikoyan had lied and deceived him, he could clearly see full kindness and confidence in the eyes of this thing. (To be continued......)
