Pavel was an eye-opener, and he understood what it means to be invincible if you are shameless, what it means to reverse black and white, and how the emotional and political game is played. When he thought of the petty fights he made back then, he blushed for himself - he had to throw away the goods, and the people were more angry than the others!

If he could, he really wanted to stay with an immortal for a period of time, and study hard, even if it could open his eyes!

It's a pity that Li Xiaofeng didn't have the leisure to bring an apprentice, especially with such an old apprentice, and to tell the truth, the two brushes of this product are not dog meat on the table. His trick is put in the tutor's master, and it is like a child's play.

Nevertheless, a certain immortal made a good start in April, fooling the Jews with a big grievance, and with the generosity of the Judah boss, his border police force was much easier to assemble.

For example, the expansion of the Lagado Lake base, originally this base was able to accommodate three to five thousand people when it was running at full capacity, and a certain immortal was worried about the site. Now that he has the money, Li Xiaofeng plans to double the scale and strive to train 10,000 soldiers at the same time.

However, the expansion work cannot be completed in one day, even with the support of the boss of Judah, and the start of overtime work is estimated to be impossible in three or two months. So until then, the training of Jewish fighters could not be carried out.

Pavel was a little complaining about this, but that was the reality, and it would take him time to organize the Jewish youth and make the preparations that a certain immortal had said. Taking a step back, the Jews have been waiting for this for two thousand years. It won't be a problem to wait a few more months.

It's not just the training ground that's easy to solve. With the intervention of Boss Judah. NORINCO's production work has also become smoother, and for a new industrial enterprise like NORINCO, there are two most important things - one is machinery and equipment, and the other is skilled technicians.

Machinery and equipment, although there is a relationship with the Nobel family, a number of machine tools and related equipment have been purchased in Sweden. But to tell the truth, the Swedes are not living Lei Feng either, and Bofors, who made his fortune in munitions, could not have cultivated a potential enemy.

So the machinery and equipment bought from Sweden. It's not advanced, it's just a publication. And there is a shortage not only of machinery and equipment, but also of various grades of steel needed to produce weapons. Of course, the Swedes can't be blamed for being stingy, in the context of the war, these are in short supply, and you really need a way to get them.

With the participation of the Jews, it was completely different, although the Jews had no status in Europe, but their ethnic groups were distributed throughout all European countries. And a significant number of elite Jews are well mixed. In other words, the Jewish people had a wide range of channels, although they were not sufficient to support their restoration. But it's not hard to get some in-demand supplies. And to put it mildly, Jews, who are especially good at making a fortune, are very good at dealing with in-demand materials and prohibited materials!

Soon, a number of more sophisticated machines arrived in Vyborg from Switzerland, which Sigsauer is said to have used to produce rifles. As for better steel, this was not a problem for the Jews, who easily got the corresponding products from Sweden and the United States. All in all, the addition of Jews was the solution to NORINCO's entire hardware problems.

Of course, the help in software seems to be greater, as mentioned earlier, it is not only the hardware problem that plagues NORINCO, but also the lack of technicians. To put it bluntly, Russia's industrial base is too poor, not to mention high-level technicians, in fact, there is a shortage of skilled workers.

Before, Erickson launched a relationship and hired high-tech, so he opened the factory so-so. However, to put it bluntly, most of the technicians are not very qualified, so the production efficiency and production costs are high.

For thousands of years, due to the restrictions of the ruling classes in various European countries, Jews could not engage in agriculture or politics, but could only do business honestly. Although business is a dead end, after 2,000 years of tempering, the cultural quality of the Jews may have been greatly improved, which made it relatively easy for this ethnic group to engage in technical work.

Without any effort, Li Xiaofeng obtained a group of really qualified technicians through Pavel, many of whom were at the level of technicians. Although they could not immediately bring about earth-shaking changes in the overall quality of NORINCO, they could at least put NORINCO on the right track and save a lot of valuable time.

All in all, the cooperation with the Jews was very pleasant, at least they could bring good news to a certain immortal, and April was really not a good month for the Bolsheviks compared to the pleasant Jews.

In mid-March, after the Central Committee had already made a decision to quell the rebellion and defend Luhansk, unfortunately, before the Central Committee's decision reached Luhansk, this extremely important city fell.

Voroshilov must be mentioned here, because he was the mayor of Luhansk and the chairman of the Soviet, and the commander of the main forces responsible for the defense of Luhansk. The reckless general was then appointed commander of the 10th Army of the Red Army, and his main task was to lead the army to defend the city before the main forces of Frunze arrived in Luhansk.

It should be said that Voroshilov fought very bravely with the officers and men of the 10th Army of the Red Army, but what this general and the army he led most lacked was not courage, but wisdom. Voroshilov, whose military wisdom was quite limited, chose the most wrong way of fighting, and this fool actually gave up defending the city and turned out of the city to attack the invading Czech legions, trying to crush the enemy's counterattack with a revolutionary offensive.

However, he overestimated the capabilities of his troops, and to put it bluntly, the newly formed Tenth Army was a complete rabble, a loose group of untrained workers and a small group of former Tsarist soldiers.

Their opponents were the Czech Legion, which had just come down from the front line, which was very experienced in combat. There is a considerable disparity in the amount of force between the two places, and the results of the last place also prove this disparity.

Voroshilov with his cavalry launched a fearless charge against the Czech regiments, which were greeted by a dense rain of bullets. Voroshilov's cavalry did not wait to rush to the front of the trenches of the Czech corps. It completely collapsed.

What followed was naturally a one-sided rout. Thanks to Voroshilov's troops were cavalry, the four-legged ones always ran faster than the two-legged ones. The future Marshal of the Soviet Union fled Luhansk in disarray, surrendering an entire city to the Czech Legion.

The "accidental" fall of Luhansk shook the central government and completely disrupted the original plan of the central government. According to the previous plan, Voroshilov was to buy more time for Frunze in Luhansk, so that Frunze could integrate his troops and make all preparations for the south.

However, after the fall of Luhansk, Moscow could almost be said to have opened its door, if the Czech corps was allowed to go north. Then there is a good chance that there will be a series of extremely bad chain reactions. If you want to stabilize the situation, then Frunze must lead the main force south as soon as possible!

To tell the truth, Frunze was not prepared for this, the Red Army had just been formed, and it took time to build up the troops, as well as to arm and run in the troops. What's more, the army must first prepare for eating, drinking, and Lazar, and our ancestors have said that the army will go first before moving the grain and grass. If the logistical problem is not solved, so many troops will have to starve to death.

And it is precisely this problem that is the most difficult to solve. The Russian people are now hungry and full, and the central government is doing everything to get food. I want to get enough food and grass for Frunze. It will definitely take time. Anyway, according to the original plan, Voroshilov wanted to buy Frunze precious time to gather food.

Voroshilov, who was coaxing, self-righteous, and despised the Czech Legion, thought that he could be a great hero, and he thought that if his cavalry rushed up and slashed indiscriminately, he could deal with the Czechs. As a result, he didn't think about buying more time at all, and he was extremely reckless and buried Luhansk, causing the situation to become extremely bad.

"The fall of Luhansk has led to our total passivity," Trotsky slapped the table angrily, "and has caused a terrible political repercussions, and if we fail to retake Luhansk as soon as possible, and if we fail to block the route of the White Bandit Army's northward march or eastward escape, the whole plan we have drawn up will be completely in vain!" ”

At this point, Trotsky almost gritted his teeth, and he angrily accused Voroshilov: "The situation should not have been like this, and the Tenth Army was fully capable of holding this important city. The main culprit of this series of problems is none other than Klimant, for which he must be fully responsible! ”

Stalin's face suddenly darkened, and no one in the center knew whether he and Voroshilov were iron brothers, and Voroshilov was his important pawn in the army. And now, according to Trotsky, he was going to cut off one of his arms!

How could steel endure this, he was sure to save Voroshilov, and immediately he stood up: "I do not agree with this statement, the fall of Lugansk is not the responsibility of Klymente alone, and it can even be said that he does not have to bear the main responsibility for this......"

Trotsky suddenly scoffed: "You mean that the fall of Luhansk was the responsibility of the enemy?" ”

Stalin glanced at Trotsky and said slowly: "I consider the fall of Luhansk to be a complete non-war crime. There were no problems with Kliment's command, the most fundamental reason for our defeat was that the number of troops stationed in Lugansk was too small, and the newly formed 10th Army was a baby relative to a powerful enemy! How can a baby be expected to beat an adult? ”

Trotsky scoffed at Stalin's rhetoric, and he scoffed: "What a ridiculous statement, if the Tenth Army is a baby, and the White Bandit Army is an adult." So I would like to ask, since Klimant's knowledge that his strength is not enough, why would he foolishly take the initiative to attack? Is he an idiot? I don't know that for the weak side, it is possible to hold on to the defense, and to take the initiative is to kill yourself! ”

It is really difficult to justify this, no normal person would hit a stone with an egg, and if Stalin could not explain the reason for Voroshilov's initiative well, then the crime would definitely be confirmed. Fortunately, Stalin had already thought about this issue and racked his brains to come up with an excuse.

I saw him say with confidence: "Of course, no normal person would hit a stone with an egg." But the situation in Luhansk is very special, the strength of the White Bandit Army is much more than that of the Tenth Army, and it is not an order of magnitude contest at all. If you choose to stick to it. There is only one result. That is to be crushed to pieces by the enemy...... To gain the initiative on the battlefield. It was necessary to find another way, and only a decisive assault could disrupt the enemy's pace, and Klimante did just that...... He chose to take the initiative to strike at the enemy, preparing to take the enemy by surprise, and if he succeeded, he would definitely be able to deter the enemy...... It can make the enemy not understand the reality of Luhansk, so as to win us time for the decisive battle! From this point of view, there was nothing wrong with Klimente's tactical set-up. It can even be said that he took painstaking measures. Helplessly, the disparity between the strength of the enemy and the enemy was too great, and the heroic assault of him and the officers and men of the 10th Army unfortunately failed......"

When he said the last sentence, Stalin kept glancing at Trotsky, as if he meant something, and sure enough, he immediately changed his words: "But although Klimant and the officers and men of the Tenth Army have unfortunately failed, this in no way negates their fighting spirit. The root cause of their defeat was the disparity between our enemies and our enemies, and if Klimante had enough troops, his tactics would have won us an unprecedented victory! ”

Trotsky was immediately on fire. He heard what Stalin meant, and the steel was referring to Sang and scolding Huai. It is implying that the fundamental reason for the defeat of Luhansk is that he, the chairman of the military commissar, did not give Voroshilov enough troops.

"!" Trotsky glared at Stalin and pointed out very unceremoniously: "The Military Council has handed over to Kliment all the troops around Luhansk. In this area, there were no other units of the Red Army. Under these circumstances, Klymente not only did not calmly analyze the situation and carefully arrange the defense of Luhansk, but rashly led a small number of cavalry out of the city to fight...... When he was defeated, he had no time to consolidate the city's defenses, and almost surrendered Luhansk to our enemies...... What is this called heroism? Any attempt to defend him is shameful! ”

Without waiting for Stalin's rebuttal, Trotsky slammed a document on the table and sneered: "Moreover, according to the local Cheka investigation, the enemy who invaded Luhansk is far from being unprecedentedly powerful, and the Communist Party has only more than 10,000 regular troops of the Czech Legion, and the rest are all improvised stragglers." Compared to Klimente's Tenth Army, it is far from a contest of any magnitude! The actual situation at that time was that the stubborn Klimant did not listen to dissuasion, believing that the enemy in front of him was not worth mentioning, and rashly launched an offensive with the reckless enemy...... Instead, he was met with a head-on attack from the enemy and was defeated...... When he fled in a hurry, the enemy took Luhansk, which was uncommanded, in one fell swoop! That's the truth! ”

There was silence in the room, except for Trotsky's gasps of rage, and a dozen pairs of eyes staring straight at Stalin, all wondering what to say about it.

After a long time, Stalin roared very hollowly: "This is slander! It is an insult to the officers and men of the Tenth Army who fought bravely! ”

So what are the facts? Which of Stalin or Trotsky is the truth?

It should be said that neither of these men completely told the truth, Voroshilov was indeed a rash attack with his own will, and he was indeed defeated, and he has an unshirkable responsibility for this. But this stupid big man was not as bad as Trotsky had suggested, and after being defeated, he did not flee in panic, but returned to the city to try to stop the resistance.

But as I said before, the combat effectiveness of the 10th Army is very problematic, and compared with the warlike Czech Legions, their combat effectiveness is really not enough. After a certain amount of resistance, the 10th Army, which was completely unstoppable by the Czechs, collapsed, they were completely broken up, and Luhansk was lost.

In other words, whether it was Stalin or Trotsky, their speeches were purposeful, Stalin naturally wanted to shirk his responsibility for Tie Gemo, while Trotsky tried his best to smear Voroshilov and achieved the goal of striking at the Leninist forces in the Military Commission. All in all, neither side is a good bird.

Lenin was naturally well aware of these twists and turns behind him, and to tell the truth, he was quite annoyed by Voroshilov's indisputability, which was a shame. Your honest defense lasted more or less for two or three days, and there was something to say about losing Luhansk at that time. You're good, it's almost a touch, and you haven't even won a day, this Nima......

But no matter how much Lenin hated and disgusted Voroshilov, this thing was also a man of his mountain, his little brother, and if he really let Trotsky grab a sharp whip, he himself would have no face. So for the current situation, he can only talk to the mud:

"There is really a problem with Comrade Kliment's command, and he is really primarily responsible for the fall of Luhansk, but we are not meeting now to discuss accountability!"

Lenin stood up abruptly and said with great vigour: "The question we must focus on now is what to do after the fall of Luhansk!" That's the priority! ”

As he spoke, he walked to the map, pointed to the location of Luhansk and said: "The loss of Luhansk has led to the fact that the gate to Moscow and the Far East has been completely opened. Our enemies can move both north and east. Comrades, we must ascertain the enemy's intentions as soon as possible, and then quickly adjust our deployment and make targeted arrangements! (To be continued......)

PS: I don't know how many times this is the first time that Comrade Potato has been generously rewarded, I can only say thank you again!
