When Li Xiaofeng's speech ended, the office was silent again, some people were frightened by someone's bold statement, while others were carefully observing the expression of the tutor to decide whether to echo or disagree.

But there are also a very small group of people who are thinking about the impact of someone's words. Stalin, for example, was in fact a radical departure from someone else's, and although he did not say it explicitly, he actually supported the Left wing of the United Social Revolutionaries. And now it seems that the mentor really doesn't like to engage in alliances, so how should he eliminate the adverse effects of his previous speeches and change his attitude without leaving a trace?

This is difficult, but for Steel, who has been habitually on the wrong side since the day of the victory of the February Revolution, it has become his unique skill to skillfully change his attitude and change his course. He was ready with words that would instantly put him back on the right path.

Stalin's opponent, Sverdlov, now thinks of a fundamentally different kind of steel, first of all, his previous speech mistakes are not too serious, and there is no need to rack his brains to round himself. Secondly, he is more concerned about the essence of the question, that is, if the meaning of the mentor is really as Li Xiaofeng said, what strategy or means will his old man adopt next.

Sverdlov believed that only by clarifying this issue could he take the initiative and make fewer mistakes in the next struggle.

"Comrade Andrei said it very well!" Lenin had been paying attention to the expressions of the people below, and what they were thinking was basically what his old man expected. Seeing that the purpose of the first phase has basically been achieved. It was only then that he broke his silence: "Parliamentarism is the highest form of bourgeois democracy. If we are to create a bourgeois republic, there is no problem in adopting this situation. ”

Speaking of this, Lenin paused for a moment and abruptly strengthened his tone: "But the goal we are fighting for is not the establishment of a bourgeois republic, but the establishment of a socialist New Russia in which the proletariat is the master of the country." Therefore, neither parliament nor the Constituent Assembly is in keeping with our aspirations, and if we are to embrace this highest form of bourgeois democracy, we are putting the cart before the horse! ”

Glancing around. Lenin's tone became even more resolute, he waved his fist and said categorically: "We don't need a Constituent Assembly, we don't need a parliament!" The Soviets are the best form of democracy in Russia today. Therefore, I do not think that there is anything wrong with us not having a majority in this election to the Constituent Assembly, but if we do have a majority in this decadent bourgeois assembly, that is the great problem, that is, we have distanced ourselves from the broad masses of the proletariat, from the broad masses of soldiers and workers! ”

Some of the people in the office looked embarrassed, and they didn't have to think about it. This group of people was the hardest part of the group that had supported the Constituent Assembly before, and the words of the Mentor were simply a slap in the face. While others frowned. They got a lot of information from the words of the Mentor, and the amount of information was so great that they couldn't help but get dizzy.

Only a certain immortal can sit still like a person who has nothing to do, and the words of the mentor have little impact on him, and even this thing thinks that the tutor is talking nonsense at all, although the Constituent Assembly is just a tool, but if this tool is very useful, then why not use it?

He felt that the reason why the Mentor talked so much about the backwardness of bourgeois democracy was nothing more than to cover up one point: the Constituent Assembly was probably not a good tool, or at least not very useful. In order to create a new Russia according to his own intentions, the Mentor had to discard the Constituent Assembly, which was not very useful, and use a convenient tool to achieve his own goals.

Regardless of whether the mentor really thinks so, Li Xiaofeng sees it this way anyway, and he doesn't think there is anything wrong with the mentor's approach, the Cadets, the Social Revolutionaries, and the Mensheviks can choose the tools that suit their own interests to do things, why can't the Bolsheviks do the same thing?

Seeing that everyone present had basically accepted this result, Lenin continued: "We must be wary of this dangerous thinking, we are not the same as the bourgeois party, and the left wing of the Social Revolutionary Party has only temporarily accepted some of our ideas because of the change of situation, and in essence they are on the same page as the right wing of the Social Revolutionary. It is undoubtedly very dangerous to unite with such people! As Comrade Stalin just said, assimilation! As we assimilate the enemy, the enemy assimilates us, and if we really merge with them, then we will lose the most precious and essential thing of the Bolsheviks! ”

But there are fools who don't know what to do at all times, and this room is no exception, and as soon as the Tutor's voice fell, there was such a fool who spoke: "But the Central Committee has already made a decision that we will form a coalition government with the right wing of the Socialist-Revolutionary. If we resist the alliance with the left wing of the Socialist-Revolutionaries, is it not in contradiction to the collective resolution of the Central Committee? ”

The reason why this kind of person is stupid is not that the question he asks is wrong, but that the way and occasion of the question are wrong. So unpolitically sensitive, that's not self-inflicted!

Without waiting for the Mentor to speak, Stalin began to preemptively lecture the goods: "Of course we will carry out the resolution of the Central Committee, and Comrade Lenin is not asking us to oppose it. Rather, let us be vigilant from the heart of the danger of the Left Wing of the Socialist-Revolutionaries, and while carrying out the decisions of the Central Committee, we must remain concerned about them and always guard against their infiltration of the Party! As soon as they reveal their counter-revolutionary tendencies, they immediately draw a line with them and go their separate ways! And strike it mercilessly! ”

It should be said that Stalin correctly interpreted the attitude of the Mentor, and the election results were so unfavorable that even the Left wing of the United Social Revolutionaries could only draw with the Right Socialist-Revolutionaries, the Mensheviks, and the Cadets, or even fell behind slightly.

In such a delicate situation, the struggle in the Constituent Assembly must have been fierce and brutal. If you're not careful, you can fail. Even the slightest objective factor can change the outcome of the struggle.

In this case. Putting all the treasures on the Constituent Assembly is probably a gamble. It is good to win the bet, but if you lose, the whole October Revolution will be in vain.

Lenin did not want to fight such an unprepared battle, and instead of gambling and gambling on his luck, it was better to prepare in advance, and if the situation was not good, he would simply abandon the Constituent Assembly and start anew. What he meant was nothing more than that it was a matter of helplessness to cooperate with the left wing of the Social Revolutionaries. If we can't do it, we need to be prepared for both.

This is the fundamental reason why he did not oppose the Left wing of the United Social Revolutionaries in the Central Committee, but he vigorously opposed it in private meetings.

"Comrade Stalin is right when he says that we must remain vigilant against the left wing of the Socialist-Revolutionaries, as Comrade Lenin instructed!" Sverdlov continued Stalin's words and said, "I personally believe that it is not enough to be vigilant, and as soon as the situation changes, once the union is unsustainable, we must be prepared in advance." We cannot put all our hopes in the Constituent Assembly. I think it is necessary to convene the Third National Congress of the All-Russian Soviets of Workers' and Soldiers' Deputies in the near future! ”

This is where Sverdlov was superior to Stalin, when Stalin was still trying to catch up with the mind of his mentor. Xiao Si is already far ahead of the curve, and he can put forward more constructive suggestions.

Now, for example, he is proposing to convene the Third National Congress of the Soviets of Workers' and Soldiers' Deputies in the near future, which is to prepare for the struggle for the Constituent Assembly. In the event that a satisfactory result is not achieved in the Constituent Assembly, they can take advantage of their huge superiority in the All-Russian Soviets of Engineers' and Soldiers' Deputies to turn things around.

In fact, the same is true in history, seeing that the Constituent Assembly could not do anything, the Bolsheviks immediately rejected the Constituent Assembly through the Third National Congress of the All-Russian Workers' and Soldiers' Congress, Su Wei, and directly and forcibly dissolved the Constituent Assembly with the support of the workers and soldiers of Petrograd. The Constituent Assembly was replaced by the Soviets of Directly Sapper Deputies. In the later Soviet Union, the legislature was precisely the Soviets.

Lenin was naturally happy that Sverdlov could think so long-term, and his successor could not be a follower, but must be far-sighted while keeping up with his pace, and I have to say that Sverdlov was indeed a little better than Stalin in this regard.

With Lenin setting the tone, Sverdlov adding, and Stalin following closely, there was a quick agreement within the Leninists. Unconsciously, the Bolsheviks' co-operation with the left wing of the Socialist-Revolutionary Party took a slight turn, and the seeds of their defeat were already germinating while the Socialist-Revolutionary Right and the Mensheviks and the Cadets were still celebrating their victory.

The meeting ended successfully, and a certain immortal was naturally ready to flash, although he was not in the limelight in this meeting, but his qualifications were still too shallow, and most of the bigwigs did not feel that the situation just now was a reflection of someone's real political level. They habitually think that someone is the mentor who has been prepared for a long time, and only when none of the people present can accurately understand the mentor's intentions, will it be his turn to appear.

It seems that this speculation is very reasonable, and it is most appropriate for someone to say the true intentions of the Mentor in a whispered manner. And many of the bigwigs present are also willing to think so, after all, they are not willing to accept that a little kid has a long-term vision than them. Even Li Xiaofeng wished they thought so, Mu Xiu would be destroyed by Lin Feng, with his age, this kind of limelight would attract envy, he didn't want to be beaten and shot.

Just when someone was about to flash quickly, the mentor suddenly stopped him: "Andre, you stay for a while!" ”

This command immediately pushed him to the forefront, and Stalin, for example, immediately threw envious and jealous glances at him. But Li Xiaofeng doesn't care too much, he can hide from the ordinary bigwigs just now, but don't want to hide from Stalin, who knows the roots, everyone is an old opponent, and no one wants to fool anyone.

Therefore, Li Xiaofeng directly filtered out Stalin's eyes, and honestly sat down again, until only the tutor and him were left in the office, and then asked with a smile: "Comrade Lenin, do you have something to do with me?" ”

Lenin took one look at the goods, and to be honest, he was very dissatisfied with the proceedings of the meeting just now, especially when neither Sverdlov nor Stalin could properly grasp his intentions, and he was so angry that he wanted to slap the table. Seeing that everyone who should ask has finished asking. I had to find someone who was supposed to make soy sauce.

Yes. In the original plan of the Mentor. I don't plan to let someone out of the limelight, let someone come to the meeting, but let someone have a long insight, and there are other things to ask someone to understand.

As a result, when the dead horse was a live horse doctor, he also achieved unexpected results, and in the case of a room full of bigwigs who disappointed him, someone really gave him a big surprise, he really didn't expect this kid to guess his intentions. I rounded the scene back.

"Good performance just now!" The mentor who was in a good mood praised someone, "It seems that you have made great progress in this time!" ”

Someone is really skinless and faceless, and immediately beat the snake and praised himself with a stick: "Hehe, I also think that this time has made a lot of progress......

"You're really welcome, you gasp when you say you're fat!"

Lenin couldn't laugh or cry, but he felt comfortable talking to him so skinless and faceless, and now there was only someone in the party who dared to be so big and small, and to be honest, the people who came into his office every day were more serious than granite statues. I feel tired when I see their faces. Only someone can make him feel a little lighter.

Of course, the ease is only temporary. Lenin immediately straightened his face and asked: "Is everything in Tula taken care of?" ”

The mentor became serious, and someone naturally had to follow suit, and he replied honestly: "It's all dealt with, the MI6 branch in our country has been completely eradicated, and a large number of deep spies and spies have been captured, it is certain that the British will not be able to recover for at least three years!" ”

"Well," Lenin nodded, continuing to ask, "Good! However, you Cheka must not be proud, and counter-espionage work must be carried out on a regular basis, and must not be slackened because of a temporary victory...... What about Federov? And the kid who threatened to blow up the arms? How did you deal with it? ”

"Federov is acquitted, and I intend to transfer him and his assistants to Moscow, where they will be able to carry out the design work without any worries, and it should soon bear fruit! As for Alfanasi, he will be sentenced to five years in prison, which he has already begun to serve! ”

Now the mentor was truly satisfied, he nodded and said: "Alfanasi has a good sentence, although his feelings are pitiful, but his sin is unforgivable, if he is not punished, there will be a group of people to follow him, how can our work be carried out at that time!" ”

Li Xiaofeng did not express an opinion on this, because the tutor did not need him to express any opinion, because he went on to say: "Regarding the ownership of Federov's weapon design, it must be clarified. Whether the weapons he designed belonged to NORINCO or to Russia have not been explained. Now, I would like to ask you, what exactly is the answer to this question? ”

Li Xiaofeng bared his teeth, he really had a headache with this kind of problem now, and he couldn't fool his mentor, after thinking about it, he decided to tell the truth: "The patent of the weapon belongs to the North Industries Company, if my country wants to use the patent, it should pay for it!" ”

Lenin, as if dissatisfied with this answer, knocked on the table and said: "Federov is the designer of the Tula factory in Russia, and the production of weapons designed by Russia requires money to buy patents, what is this like!" ”

Li Xiaofeng hurriedly said: "I think this conclusion is too one-sided, after all, Federov's design and experiments were all paid for by North Industries, and the Russian government has not come up with a copper plate for this." If we don't pay royalties and use it for free, it seems unfair to NORINCO. ”

Lenin glanced at him and snorted: "Which side of the hell are you kid?" ”

Li Xiaofeng smiled bitterly, spread his hands and said: "I'm just talking about things, I think it's better to give proper respect to the northern industry, it is conceivable that as the pace of our revolution accelerates, the imperialist countries will definitely not watch us transform the old Russia." They will inevitably blockade and strangle us, and in that case, one more friend will give us one more way......"

Lenin still did not express his position, and Li Xiaofeng could only take another step back, "On the issue of patents, I can exert a certain influence on NORINCO, and let them sell us the right to use patents at a relatively favorable price." ”

Lenin then nodded, "If so, then I agree in principle." However, the relevant matters, especially the fees for the transfer of patent rights, must be implemented as soon as possible! ”

In this regard, what else can Li Xiaofeng say, anyway, when dealing with the Bolsheviks and the mentor, he must be prepared to suffer losses. However, what Li Xiaofeng didn't expect was that what he had to suffer today was not a small loss, but a big ruin.

After dealing with Federov and the patent, the tutor suddenly changed his words and asked very sternly: "Did your father's trading company participate in the theft and sale of grain from the strategic reserve warehouse?" ”

I rub!

Li Xiaofeng suddenly felt a stir in his heart, and subconsciously he was ready to deny it, but when he saw the eyes of his mentor, he quickly changed his mind.

"I have participated," Li Xiaofeng nodded and admitted, "but the number is not very large, and most of the time it plays the role of a second-tier dealer!" ”

"Well," Lenin nodded, and asked again, "that Victoria. What about Popova? ”

Li Xiaofeng smiled bitterly and said: "Comrade Lenin, let's put it this way, all the trading companies in Russia, especially those set up by the big financiers behind the Cadet Party, have all been involved in stealing and selling grain. Victoria can only be regarded as a small fight in it, picking up some scraps and cold characters. (To be continued......)
