Krupskaya was very strange, it was already nine o'clock in the evening, why did the office direction meeting still not end? The Politburo meeting has been in session for six hours since it started at mid-afternoon, so what is it about the important affairs that makes the Politburo so entangled?

In any case, according to Krupskaya's memory, only those matters that had a bearing on the major principles and policies of the Party would have been held for such a long time, for example, the last time the Brest contract was debated for ten hours, and if it had not been for Trotsky's sudden change of flag, I am afraid that the meeting would have gone on forever.

And now, this meeting also has a similar atmosphere as the last time, mysteriously forbidding anyone to approach the venue, and specially sent two guards to guard the door, and what is even more surprising is that these two guards must also be several meters away from the direction of the gate.

This state of affairs can only show one point, that is, the content of the meeting is quite confidential. Anyway, Krupskaya wondered, what major changes had happened?

She couldn't help but wonder if it was the Entente that had launched an armed intervention? Or did the counter-revolutionaries in the country finally resist rising up?

However, she quickly dispelled these two years, because if such a major situation really happened, there would definitely be rumors, and she did not hear similar rumors, and even if this kind of thing happened, there was no need to keep it a secret. At least she understood that Lenin was not such a man, and that in the face of the perverse actions of the forces of foreign intervention and the counter-revolution at home, he would probably have only openly raised his arms and shouted to all the workers, peasants and Bolsheviks to fight against them.

Come to think of this. Krupskaya couldn't help but guess: "Could it be that something happened in the party?" Could it be that Bukharin is finally ready to split the party? ”

This speculation is even more terrifying than the previous one. At least Krupskaya felt more terrifying. She had the confidence that no matter how strong the enemy was, as long as the Bolsheviks were tightly united, there was no need to be afraid. On the other hand, no matter how weak the enemy is, if the party organization splits and disintegrates itself, it will be an unprecedented disaster.

Such worries made Krupskaya a little fidgeting, and the more she thought about it, the more worried she became, and the more she thought about it, the more upset she became. She wanted to rush into the conference room to hear and ask what was going on. But the organizational discipline constrained her, even if she was a party elder, even if she was Lenin's wife, she could not violate the organizational discipline, she could not inquire freely into the secrets of the organization, and no one had the privilege to speak in this regard (at least at that time).

Krupskaya suddenly sighed, as Lenin's wife, her every move was closely watched by countless pairs of eyes. Any imprudent move by her could lead to political passivity.

I thought about it. She sat down suddenly, for she found that there was no point in her thoughts, and if the contents of the meeting were not to be kept secret, Lenin would have told her, otherwise, it would be useless for her to guess!

Before she knew it, Krupskaya sat and fell asleep in a daze, until the Mentor put a blanket over her, and then she woke up suddenly.

"The meeting is over?" Krupskaya subconsciously asked this question.

"It's over!" Lenin's face seemed to show an expression of joy, an expression so obvious that Krupskaya thought she was dazzled. She rubbed her eyes and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Lenin's mood was indeed quite high, and at the Politburo meeting just now, two crucial issues were resolved in one fell swoop, namely, the question of food and the question of the organization of the international Communist Party. The initial solution of these two problems made the tutor breathe a great sigh of relief, so that the whole person felt a few years younger.

"Good news?" Krupskaya asked tentatively.

"Good news indeed!" Lenin recalled the twists and turns of the meeting, and then nodded heavily......

When Sverdlov said that in the room, the members of the Politburo, including Lenin, were shocked. It is not so much that Sverdlov's statement was groundbreaking, but in fact it was the role of the First and Second Internationals before. However, before the outbreak of the First World War, when the German SPD parliamentarians approved the Kaiser's military budget in the German parliament, the Second International existed in name only, at least when the Mentor learned of the news and shouted: "The Second International is dead, long live the Third International!" ”

Of course, although the Second International, that is, the Workers' International, was finished, the Third International was not immediately formed, because the international environment at that time did not allow for the socialist parties of all countries participating in the Second International to "unite" under the banner of imperialism in their own countries, actively advocate patriotic speeches, and sing praises for the world war.

And now, with the initial victory of the Russian Revolution and the initial ignition of the flames of the proletarian revolution on the land of Europe, it seems that a new "International" has been established to replace the zombie Second International!

So when Sverdlov put forward this idea, the Politburo members, including the mentor and Trotsky, admired most not Xiao Si's idea, which was so common, and what really made them highly appreciate it was the timing of Xiao Si's idea.

In terms of timing, Xiao Si's proposal does not seem to be particularly good, because the establishment of a new international is a bit too advanced, after all, the member parties of the Second International are still busy fighting for the country, and it is conceivable that even if such an international is formed, it will be difficult to gain international response. The establishment of the international is quite a bit of a private service.

However, too early in time does not mean that the timing is bad, on the contrary, both the Master Mentor and Trotsky felt that early was also advantageous.

First of all, both the Mentor and Trotsky were very dissatisfied with the original Second International, and both believed that the attitude of the Second International was very problematic on the question of the First World War, that it had indulged imperialism too much, and that it had hindered the development of the World Workers' Movement.

Two mentors before returning home. Basically, the Second International was scolded to the core. When he returned to Russia to start the revolution. On more than one occasion, the interference of the Second International was excluded. Anyway, let's put it this way, the two mentors are eager to tear down the stage of the Second International.

If a new International could be established to replace the Second International, many things would be easier to do, and it would be justified. For example, the new International could be used to give orders to the political parties of the member countries, and to coordinate some matters that were inconvenient to talk about, such as the food issue in this case, and the work of the Finnish Bolsheviks could be done through the new International.

And that's just the first benefit, and the second. Even if you play private servers now, you have to put up the shelf first, after all, the First World War will not last long, the fast will be half a year and a year, and the slow will be two years, and several rogue countries will inevitably divide the winners and losers. At that time, with the basic resolution of the contradictions in the imperialist countries, the contradictions in various countries will erupt in a concentrated manner, and it is conceivable that in the coming period of time, an upsurge of the workers' movement will inevitably be ushered in.

If you can seize the commanding heights. The creation of a revolutionary model in Russia would inevitably correct the right-wing mistakes of the "old men" of the Second International. To correct the negative effects of revisionism, which is what the Mentor and Trotsky very much wanted to do.

Of course, in addition to these two main reasons, there was also a deliberate thought among the members present, that is, to increase the influence and position of the Russian Bolsheviks in the proletarian party of the world. You must know that Lu Dao is different from the later Celestial Dynasty calling Mao Zi the revolutionary big brother. At that time, the status of the Russian Communist Party among the socialist parties in the world was really not very high.

According to the jargon of the time, the leading brothers of the socialist parties were the French and the Germans, of which the French had a higher status. This can be seen from the simple fact that both the First and Second Internationals have their headquarters in Paris, and that the revolutionary exiles of the whole world have fled to France. Both Lenin and Trotsky, for example, lived in France for a considerable time.

There are also historical reasons for the high status of the Germans, as the working class became more and more powerful in the second half of the nineteenth century, with the high development of German industry and economy. What's more, Germany has also produced two great mentors - Lao Ma and Lao En. Needless to say, the status of these two people in the rivers and lakes is right?

So for a long time, the leading big brothers of socialism were the French and the Germans, which was quite coquettish. As for the socialist movement in Russia and the Social Democratic Labor Party in Russia, what is it, although it is not a passer-by who plays soy sauce, it can only be regarded as a trick. Who made the strength of the Russian working class weak, and who made the general view of Mao Zi in Europe not so pleasant?

To give a very illustrative example, after the May Fourth Movement of the Celestial Empire, there was an upsurge of work-study in France, and it should be said that most of those students were so-called progressive students who were ready to learn advanced experience and theory. At that time, the Russian revolution had basically won and created a miracle, so why not go to Russia, but to France, where the workers' movement was at a low ebb (in fact, work-study has also become a joke, there is work-study, and there is nothing to learn). It can be seen that for the very backward Chinese students at that time, Russia was not a revolutionary holy place at all, and belonged to the object of contempt (of course, there may also be reasons why Russia had just ended the civil war, the economic crisis was still serious, and the domestic situation was not optimistic).

This shows what happened to the Russian Revolution and the position of the Bolsheviks in Russia at that time. Lenin and Trotsky, who are stronger, will naturally not be convinced by such a situation, your French and Germans, since 1848 the two of you have taken turns to sit in the bank, and after such a half century, the workers' movement has not improved at all, and now that the revolution has been successful, you have to create a model for you to see, so that you can see what is the correct revolutionary road.

It is not excluded that the bigwigs of Stalin and his ilk had such an idea, in fact, the trend of the Third International was similar to this, and the Russians fiercely brushed up a sense of superiority, which once made the former leading big brothers, the French and Germans, become the little brothers who followed the fart, and the position of the French Communist Party in the international community plummeted, and it was reduced to the leader of the big brother Maozi, so that when World War II broke out, the French Communist Party also fell into an embarrassing dilemma.

Of course, these words went far away, and back to the conference itself, after Sverdlov had expressed his idea, Lenin and Trotsky were both in the light of their eyes, and thought it was a very good proposal, so that the topic of the conference immediately shifted from the question of food to the question of what kind of new international should be formed. That's why the time of the meeting was greatly extended.

"Personally, I think. The new International should reject the influence of revisionism. To forge a pure socialist union...... Moreover, the main task of the New International is to promote the development of the revolutionary movement in the whole world! "Trotsky naturally wants to preach his theory of permanent revolution, but no one will oppose him at this time, because if he does not export the revolution, why do you want this new International? The Bolsheviks in Russia had no intention of finding themselves a stepfather.

Lenin nodded in agreement, and immediately added: "But the most important task of the new international in the present situation is to organize and coordinate relations between the socialist parties of all countries. In order to better carry out the revolutionary struggle! ”

The teacher's meaning was also very clear, he just said: "Lao Tuo, you want to export the revolution, I have no opinion, and I raise my hands to agree." But when your set is still in the future, don't be too ambitious, first solve practical problems, and first straighten out the relationship between political parties in various countries! ”

Trotsky naturally did not object to this, so soon the Mentor and Trotsky came to a consensus. And as long as the two of them nodded and passed, who would dare to say that they would not pass. But right away. A new question arises: who will lead this new International?

Natural. In the minds of Lenin and Trotsky, it was better for the new International to accept the leadership of the Russian Bolsheviks, otherwise what was the point of forming it? But come to think of it, you can't do this, you still have to be face-saving in politics, at least you can't do it too badly. Therefore, the New International still nominally accepts the representatives elected by the socialist parties of various countries to exercise collective leadership.

However, because of the success of the Russian Revolution, and as the initiator of the New International, the views of the Russian delegates must be respected by the delegates of other countries. After all, Russia is now an advanced country and a model of successful revolution, so we can't let the advanced obey the leadership of the backward, right?

Therefore, the actual core of the leadership of the new international must and must be Russians, but which Russian will lead it? Truth be told, this is a very sensitive and critical issue. It is conceivable that the New International will play a very important role in the future, even if it cannot lead the revolution of the whole world for the time being, but will be able to lead it in the future.

Therefore, it is very necessary for the bigwigs here to grab a few positions in this institution as soon as possible and install a few henchmen into it, especially the more ambitious kind of people, such as Stalin, who are thinking about how to send their hardcore into the New International at the moment.

After careful consideration, he said slowly: "The leadership of the New International is a very crucial issue, and for the time being, I think we should first set up a shelf, but since the foreign workers' movement is suppressed by revisionism and is not carried out vigorously enough, I am afraid that this shelf can only be dominated by domestic comrades for the time being!" ”

Of course, Trotsky would not object to this, for the temporary revolution was only succeeded in Russia, and it was an inevitable choice for the advanced comrades who led the Russian revolution to take the helm, and the theme of the comrades at home also meant that there would be more chairs.

He immediately said: "I agree that it is the most correct choice for the domestic comrades to take charge of the overall situation for the time being, and that it is the most correct plan for a group of comrades with practical revolutionary experience who have led the Russian working class to victory!" ”

After the official article is done, the next step is to divide the cake, and the first knife naturally has to be cut by the mentor first, "I think Comrade Zinoviev has passed the revolutionary theory, has rich revolutionary experience, and has long-term experience in communicating with foreign comrades, so it is more appropriate for him to be the leader of the new International!" ”

To tell you the truth, the candidate thrown out by the mentor was quite surprising to everyone present, after all, the big guys have seen the previous performance of the big pie face, and what revolutionary experience is simply nonsense, to put it mildly, it is the counter-revolution with rich experience!

Anyway, Stalin was a little indignant at that time, such an important position, the master of the mentor actually wanted to hand over to a person who opposed him, this Nima is too nonsense!

But if you think about it carefully, it is understandable that Lenin nominated Zinoviev, first of all, the attitude of the big pie face has been quite good in the past few months, and he has stood more correctly and resolutely, and he is justified in accepting praise. Moreover, this product is theoretically experienced, and it is indeed experienced in communication with foreign countries, so it is more suitable for him to preside over international affairs.

As to whether this commodity will be proud and rebellious for a while, Lenin was not particularly worried, the leaders of the new international looked glamorous, but in fact they were just donkey dung. Without the support of the corresponding political status in the country, it cannot occupy a place in the Politburo, and it will not be a big deal to have that empty title. You're welcome, Master Mentor can hold this item today, and then he can also let him fall down.

In any case, Trotsky was not as surprised as Stalin, and did not care about the nomination of the Mentor, for whom it was imperative to cut the second cut as soon as possible.

He said with some impatience: "I nominate Comrade Ulitsky!" ”

This nomination was also somewhat unexpected and reasonable, although Ulitsky did not agree with Trotsky on the Brest contract, the relationship between the two sides did not break down, and Trotsky was always angry about Ulitsky's defeat in the election, and he was eager to create a chance for Ulitsky to make a comeback. And now, the establishment of New International is undoubtedly the best opportunity! (To be continued......)

PS: Bow again and thank Comrade hzwangdd, but I really can't eat the update ticket, there is really not much time code word when the year is approaching, and I really don't have a manuscript, so I can only thank you!
