334 is all a delaying tactic

Kozhemiyaka looked at the Hermitage Square in front of him and yawned, he had not rested well at all for the past two days, first after the rebellion of Vishniak, and then with his comrades for a day. Now it was a fight between the upper and lower eyelids, and if it weren't for the fierce gunfire and explosions that stimulated him, I am afraid that he would have fallen to the ground and fell asleep.

"Kozhemiyaka, Kozhemiyaka!"

Vaguely, he felt that someone was pushing him, and suddenly a spirit raised his gun: "Who! ”

The person who came shook his head and said solemnly: "Comrade Kozhemiyaka, dozing off when you are on guard, in case the enemy comes, what will happen to the comrades in the back?" ”

Kozhemyaka smiled embarrassedly and said apologetically: "I'm sorry, Comrade Company Commander, I promise never to doze off again!" ”

The company commander was going to continue to educate him a few words, but looking at Kozhemiyaka's sleepy and tired appearance, he couldn't say any kind of criticism. The soldiers of the whole company have not closed their eyes for almost 36 hours, and they have experienced a fierce battle, and the iron man can't stand it! It's that his mind is groggy now, and he dozes off as soon as he stops what he is doing.

"Wash your face with cold water," the company commander said, looking at his watch, "in ten minutes we will be back into battle, I don't want you to run to the enemy in a daze." ”

Kozhemiyaka smiled and asked puzzledly, "Didn't the battalion commander let us rest for an hour?" It's only been twenty minutes......"

The company commander sighed, looked in the direction of the Winter Palace and said hatefully: "The casualties of the second company are not small, the battalion commander asked us to replace them, let them take a breath......"

Although Kozhemiyaka felt extremely tired, as soon as he heard that he was going to the front line to fight the enemy, he immediately came to his senses, and asked with some joy: "Company commander, what are you waiting for, let the brothers of the second company come down and rest!" Our comrades in the company are not afraid of being tired, and we can go and replace them now! ”

The company commander was very satisfied with Kozhemiyaka's energy, and just as he was about to praise him, he found that the company commander of the second company had withdrawn with the team. This made him very confused and angry.

"We haven't taken the defense yet, why did you pull it down! Isn't this the return to the enemy of the positions that the comrades bought with their blood! It's an escape, it's a crime! ”

The second company commander gave him an angry look and complained, "You think I'm willing to withdraw?" You think I'm willing to give back to the enemy the positions that my brothers have been able to fight so hard. If you're not happy, I'm even more unhappy! ”

"That'...... This...... What the hell is going on? The company commander stammered.

The second company commander snorted and said dissatisfiedly: "It was the battalion commander who asked us to withdraw, saying that the battle is over!" ”

It's over?

Not only the commander of the first company wondered, but Kozhemiyaka couldn't figure it out, he obviously saw that the enemy was still cowering in the Winter Palace, and they had not been destroyed, how could he say that the battle was over?

The troops involved in the siege of the Winter Palace were puzzled by the sudden order to stop the attack, and they couldn't wait to find their superiors to understand the reason, but their superiors did not completely know the reason for stopping the attack, but only told them in general: "The superiors said, stop the attack, and you will soon know what Lu Dao is for!" ”

Such an answer obviously did not satisfy the soldiers, and if the superiors who led them were not trustworthy Bolsheviks, they would have rebelled by this time. But soon, the doubts in their minds were solved, and Lenin's voice was heard from the loudspeakers near the Hermitage Square, as well as on the radios in the various companies:

"Comrades, I am pleased to announce to you that, after your tireless fighting, the Soviets and the Provisional Government have compromised with us, agreeing to put an end to the counteroffensive at the front and to put an end to this criminal war by peaceful means...... Our perseverance has reaped the victory, comrades, facing the rising sun, a new page will be opened in the history of Russia, and you are the creators and witnesses of this new history! ”

Kozhemiyaka could not believe his ears, the victory came so suddenly, they were not mentally prepared at all, and if it was not for the distinguished Comrade Lenin who made the speech on the radio, he would probably not believe it was true.

He asked excitedly: "Comrade Company Commander, can the war really end?" ”

"Of course! Will Comrade Lenin lie to us? ”。 The company commander's joy was no less than that of Kozhemiyaka, and even more so, and he gave Kozhemiyaka a heavy bear hug and quipped: "Kozhemiyaka, soon you will be able to go home, and then you will be able to marry your beloved Mary!" ”

Kozhemiaka felt dizzy, and the great joy had made him unable to find the north, and he was like falling into a dream, and he only knew that he could smirk vigorously. There are many people who are as happy as Kozhemiyaka, or even happier than him, in Petrograd, and many families have begun to sing and dance and drink heartily, and some old men and women are even in tears.

Although there are still some people who believe that it is too early to declare victory, that real victory will come only after the elimination of the Provisional Government, they oppose the half-assess, and oppose the Provisional Government as a bane.

Li Xiaofeng, who had just arrived at the Ksheshinskaya Palace, was the first to express his dissatisfaction: "I think that the armistice is extremely wrong and extremely stupid, and this is simply the enemy's strategy to delay the army. All the efforts and sacrifices we have made today have been in vain! ”

Sverdlov also agreed with Li Xiaofeng's opinion: "I very much agree with Comrade Andrei's opinion that a hasty truce is only beneficial to the enemy, and the Provisional Government is not worthy of trust!" ”

And the third to echo was Stalin, who also clearly stated that he should fight to the end after the victory in February: "I also think that it is the most correct choice to continue fighting, and now that the Red Eagles have marched into the city, our strength is even stronger, and this is the best time to destroy the reactionary government of the bourgeoisie!" ”

In the face of opposition from two cronies and a member of the Central Committee, Lenin was unmoved, and said firmly: "Do you see the cheering crowds in the streets and alleys? Didn't you see that they wholeheartedly welcomed the result? Our foundation is the people, and only by safeguarding their interests can we guarantee the interests of the party! ”

Li Xiaofeng immediately said: "If we overthrow the provisional government immediately, I believe that there will only be more people singing and dancing on the streets!" The people will understand what we do! ”

Stalin once again chimed in: "Comrade Andrei is right, the complete elimination of the Provisional Government can ensure the interests of the Russian people for a long time, and in the long run, we should continue to fight!" ”

Lenin's brows furrowed, and he said with some displeasure: "Proceeding from long-term interests, the elimination of the bourgeoisie is, of course, the most correct choice!" But you must see that if we first tear up the agreement that has just been reached, then these evil bourgeoisie will immediately create public opinion and put all the blame on us. At that time, what will the masses who do not understand our methods think of our party, and our party's prestige will be discredited! How to lead the new ** at that time? ”

Speaking of this, Lenin said earnestly: "As you say, look at the problem in the long term. Even with the Red Eagle Regiment, you can guarantee that you will be able to take the Winter Palace? Can you guarantee that there will be no reinforcements for the evil reactionaries? ”

Sverdlov, Stalin and Li Xiaofeng stopped talking, the first two are bottomless, and a certain immortal dares to play this package ticket, isn't it just to take the Winter Palace, it's a big deal that he, an immortal, is out of the way. But the problem is that even if he made the most solemn promise, the master would not believe that he had the ability. So just go with the flow and shut up!

Lenin felt that he had already frightened the three men, so his tone softened, and he said earnestly: "I know that your starting point is for the sake of the party, but you must not be too eager for quick success. Even if this is a delaying tactic by the enemy, it is even very likely that they are just waiting for reinforcements to arrive before tearing up the agreement. But we must not break the contract first, this is not only related to the party's credit and the party's image, but also related to the future of the party! ”

Speaking of this, Lenin stood up, looked at Petrograd Street behind the window, and said with great certainty: "From the struggle yesterday and the day before yesterday, we can see that the appeal of our party is still very limited, and only a very small part of the hundreds of thousands of troops in Petrograd have responded to our call for an armed uprising. Most of the army is still waiting, and a considerable part of the masses are also waiting, if we can't let this group of people who are on the sidelines turn to our side, with the strength of the enemy, even if we can take the Winter Palace, they will draw troops from the front to brutally suppress us! ”

Lenin sighed and sighed: "I can only say that I was too optimistic and impatient the day before yesterday, and the conditions for launching an armed struggle are indeed not ripe, so we can only achieve half-baked results." ”

Speaking of this, Lenin changed his tone and said very excitedly: "However, reaching this agreement is a golden opportunity for us. First of all, we made it clear to the masses in Petrograd that we, the Bolsheviks, had been working for peace, and this agreement was the result of our efforts. This will greatly expand the party's influence among the masses in the army. Lay a solid foundation for our later stage of struggle! ”

Li Xiaofeng was about to say something, but Lenin stretched out his hand to signal him not to speak, and the Master Mentor continued: "Yes, it is very likely that this is the enemy's delaying tactic, as you fear, and perhaps they are already halfway to suppress our army. ”

Speaking of this, Lenin smiled contemptuously: "Maybe Rodencko and Kornilov, as well as Plekhanov and Tsereteli, are still secretly proud of the success of their plot!" Haluha, these short-sighted fools, they simply understand that I really want them to do this, I really want them to fully expose their most reactionary faces, which helps the people of Russia to recognize a reality that only we can give them everything they want! ”

Li Xiaofeng looked at his mentor dumbfounded, and it should be said that Lenin's bold prediction is basically consistent with the trend of history. The forgetful Provisional Government and the abotitarian Mensheviks and the Socialist Party were soon to swallow the bitter fruit of their own plucking, and their perverse actions did the Bolsheviks a great favor, almost giving away the supreme power in Russia.

Don't be rampant, if you are rampant, you will be bricked. A moment of silence for Rodencko and Korensky, for Tseretili and Plekhanov. Lenin resolutely put his death to life, and they really didn't have long to jump.

After explaining his true intentions, Lenin nervously gave important instructions for the rest of the work: "Comrade Yakov and Comrade Stalin, don't dwell on any more once-in-a-lifetime opportunities, they are all created by yourself. Our priority now is to create a better opportunity! ”

Sverdlov and Stalin did not dare to be careless, and hurriedly took out their notebooks to make records, only a certain immortal did not pay much attention to it, and Lenin felt speechless.

"In the next stage, our party will be very difficult, the enemy will definitely launch a frantic counterattack, in the face of the enemy's counterattack, we must be calm, and at the same time protect ourselves, we must fight back against the enemy in a reasoned and measured manner. Propaganda work must keep up, especially pay attention to the role of the "Voice of Russia Radio", she will be our sharpest weapon against the enemy, so we must protect the radio station, and the enemy must not destroy our most important weapon! ”

Sverdlov immediately assured: "I will arrange the transfer of the radio station immediately!" ”

Lenin nodded, pointed at Li Xiaofeng, who was hanging, and instructed: "You and Comrade Andrei will cooperate in this work!" ”

"Comrade Stalin!" Lenin shouted pockmarked again, "The Central Committee will be the enemy's primary target, please make detailed arrangements at once to ensure the safety of your comrades......"

Stalin was overjoyed, at first, he didn't expect his mentor to give him a task, after all, the two people around him were the mentor's henchmen, and it was not his turn to intervene in the real important matters. And now the mentor actually looked at him differently, which made Comrade Iron and Steel overjoyed, thinking that he had made the right move.

So Stalin jumped up from the couch and promised: "I will resolutely complete the task you have assigned." ”

Lenin, of course, could see the joy in Stalin's heart, but in fact it was deliberately done by his mentor. After the armistice was reached, most of the party members, including some members of the Central Committee, thought that everything was fine, thought that the victory had been achieved, and they were busy celebrating.

Only a very small number of people still maintain a clear consciousness, and the mentor doesn't want to make trouble with a group of fools or political short-sightedness, so it is inevitable to promote some people who understand, as for who among the people who understands is worthy of promotion, it depends on their performance.

Stalin's performance was not bad, and his face was not too bad, except for the confused road after the February ** victory, and after establishing the line of armed struggle, he did not perform too badly, at least much better than Kamenev and Zinoviev. And now I can have a more sober understanding and dare to say this understanding in person, and this performance is worth promoting.

Lenin nodded slightly, affirming Stalin's statement, but he still reminded: "The work is very difficult, and whether we can turn defeat into victory depends on whether you can protect the security of the Central Committee." My requirement is not only to ensure the safety of comrades' lives, but also to ensure that they can actively carry out their work! ”

Stalin happily accepted the assignment and left, leaving the office with the real henchmen of the Mentor. It's not that Stalin didn't want to be a close friend of his mentor, he dreamed of it, but the problem was that he couldn't reach that level for the time being. The henchman is not trained in a day or two, and today he can hold the back of his head and be happy, and if he doesn't leave, that is, the heart is not enough to swallow the elephant, maybe the mentor will think that he is not very stable, so he must know how to advance and retreat.

"The situation is quite serious!"

After Stalin left, the relaxed look on the face of the tutor disappeared completely, and he said with great seriousness: "According to reliable information, Kornilov has transferred his descendants to Petrograd, and if nothing else, they will arrive this afternoon at the latest, and this evening at the latest." Yakov, you act at once, immediately start organizing the transfer of the Central Committee! ”

Li Xiaofeng was slightly taken aback, as if a lightning bolt pierced the darkness, he finally understood why the mentor would accept the truce, and he dared to love his old man who was also using a delaying tactic. One can imagine how wonderful the expression of Kornilov's descendants would have been when he arrived in Petrograd today.

If the truce was based on this reality, then there was nothing incomprehensible about the choice made by the Mentor. But before that, Li Xiaofeng must ask clearly, is this news reliable? You old man shouldn't be fooled, right?

Lenin gave someone a blank look and said angrily: "The news came from the brothers of the railway workers, who have been trying to delay the enemy's speed by all means, and they have made great efforts to achieve this!" Well, I thought we could get rid of the Provisional Government first, but I'm still too optimistic. As he spoke, Lenin sighed.

Li Xiaofeng didn t have the heart to comfort the tutor, and your old man didn't leave us to let us comfort your very hurt heart, this thing asked bluntly. "Comrade Lenin, then what do you need us to do?"

Lenin was also very direct, instructing: "You are not good at the evacuation work of the Central Committee. I need you to keep an eye on the movements of Rodencko, Kornilov and the Soviets, monitor their movements, and give early warning of crises before they strike! ”

Lenin looked at Li Xiaofeng very seriously and solemnly ordered: "Mobilize all the forces at your disposal, immediately devote yourself to this task, and buy time for the Central Committee at all costs if necessary!" Time is very important to us now! ”
