PS: Let's talk about it, from September 4th to September 8th to travel, you can only set a regular update in advance, so during this period, I can't thank those comrades who give tips and vote for monthly tickets in time, and the same book review area can't be managed for the time being, and the unity of the essence and the like will be taught again when I come back.

Bow and thank you to Defender 1, Hawkli, the Dragon God of the Bad Boy, the Emperor of the Xuanyuan Extreme Saint and Comrade Juventus!

Speaking of Xiao Si, the core members of this circle are actually three people, Xiao Si himself, Li Xiaofeng and Lu Zutak. However, now that Xiao Si wants to target Li Xiaofeng, it is naturally impossible to invite someone to come over to the court, and the people who can come have basically excluded the hardcore henchmen of a certain immortal.

In fact, this meeting has a bit of a sense of dividing factions, and all members of the Leninists who do not participate in this meeting will probably be assigned to Li Xiaofeng's side in the future, and they will be the targets of Xiao Si's vigilance or attack.

To be honest, this atmosphere is not good, because there are still many centrists in Lenin's faction, and many of them are not supporters of a certain person, they believe in the creed left by Lenin, and they respect the collective that Lenin built single-handedly. Although these people do not want to see the group split, they are also very opposed to this kind of small clique practice, so they flatly refuse to participate in such meetings.

So how many of these people are there? That's about half of the current members of the Leninists! Why is the proportion so high? The reason is also very simple, part of them is Stalin's "remnants", they are not all the way with Xiao Si, and they do not deal with Li Xiaofeng, so they can only form a low-key life. There are also some of the most old-fashioned centrists, whether it is the Lenin-Kamenev-Zinoviev era or the Lenin-Stalin-Sverdlov era. They are all centrists. I don't like to participate in this kind of bad thing of the same party and different parties.

Let's be honest. Xiao Si is really a bit of a failure, it has been a while since Stalin fell, and he has not been able to absorb the people who are useful to him, and this kind of political skill is a bit unqualified.

Of course, this can't be blamed entirely on Xiao Si, because the ideas of Stalin's gang are quite different from him, and it is normal that they can't get along. What really deserves criticism is that he did not win over those real centrists, who are old and prestigious. It belongs to Lenin's team to fight the country, and whoever this group of people obeys will have the advantage. For example, Frunze, the most outstanding representative of this group.

If Xiao Si can pull Frunze over, then it will be regarded as a turnaround battle in the army, after all, Frunze's prestige in the army is too high, and the generals of the Red Army can not buy Tukhachevsky's account, not buy Blyukhel's account, not buy Li Xiaofeng's account, but they can't help but give Frunze face.

Why wasn't Frunze particularly close to Sverdlov? There are two fundamental reasons, one is that he Frunze is first and foremost a mentor's person. The mentor is the first, even if the mentor retires. He also had to maintain the influence of his mentor.

And after all, there was a time when the Mentor was not very happy with Si and Steel, and now he had to help Trotsky prop up the platform according to the Mentor's request, so it was normal to keep a distance from Sverdlov.

Secondly, Frunze does not particularly appreciate Xiao Si, he always thinks that both Xiao Si and Stalin have a distance from their mentors, and they are not particularly suitable successors, and Xiao Si's style of doing things in recent years is very strange and seems a little unassertive, and as a soldier, Frunze does not appreciate this kind of leadership that lacks decisive ability.

I have to say that Xiao Si is indeed a little sad, his biggest lame is that he really has no influence in the army, or that his influence on the army is completely dependent on Li Xiaofeng. I have no friendship with those veterans and veterans who have the right to speak. Naturally, people don't bird him much.

Even more tragic is that Sverdlov has been unaware of the severity of the lack of military support, focusing on the Politburo, the Central Committee and the Council of People's Commissars, where he has poured considerable effort into it. It wasn't until Li Xiaofeng's differences with him became more and more obvious that Xiao Si gradually realized that he was actually a polio.

The terrible thing is that it is too difficult for him to recover from polio, and since 1940, Xiao Si has been trying to find a way, but with little success, especially with the outbreak of war, when the army has become more attention-oriented, Xiao Si seems very lonely.

For example, in the recent period, on the issue of war, he can hardly interject, and even if he speaks, he is humiliating himself, and he is often laughed at. Until today, he finally couldn't help it.

"Recently, there has been an increasing suspicion of detachment from the party's command on military issues, and some comrades have taken control of the military command and wrongly refused to listen to the opinions of other comrades, thus forming a small military clique within the party. The time has come for this to be corrected! ”

Yagoda immediately followed up and chimed in: "Comrade Yakov is right, there is indeed a small military group in the party, and this group is completely a paradise for a handful of careerists. In order to ensure the purity of the party, it is necessary to eradicate these tumors! ”

As Sverdlov's cousin, Yagoda didn't mix very well for more than 20 years, especially when he was not treated by a certain immortal, and at that time, in order to take care of the love of a certain immortal, Xiao Si suppressed the use of this little cousin.

However, in 1940, when he finally established himself as Lenin's successor, he began to cultivate this cousin, first arranging for him to go to the Central Party School for further study, then to the Central Organization Department, and in 1941, appointing him as the director of the Foreign Intelligence Department of the NKVD.

Obviously, Xiao Si has quite expectations for this cousin, and I am afraid that he has plans to train him to become a right-hand man in the future. Of course, Yakoda is also quite capable, otherwise he would not have been the head of the Cheka in history.

In just one year, Youngoda has made the Foreign Intelligence Department impressive, and although it may not have stolen much important information, the intelligence network can be regarded as basically rolled out. At this time, the war broke out, and the contradictions between Li Xiaofeng and Xiao Si became more and more acute, and naturally Sverdlov became more and more interested in this cousin who was engaged in intelligence work.

If nothing else, at next year's plenary session of the Central Committee, a member of the Central Committee of Yagoda will not be able to escape. Maybe even in 1942. Xiao Si will get him a central committee to do.

Within the Xiaosi Group. The big guy also knows that Yakoda is Xiao Si's spokesperson, and everything that Xiao Si is inconvenient to do and what is inconvenient to say is all done by this agent. And now, he was the first to echo Xiao Si's words, and the meaning was naturally self-evident.

Obviously, Xiao Si already has the idea of regaining some of the military voice. The method was naturally to fight through the guò government, and the goal of the struggle was directly directed at Li Xiaofeng. Probably because Xiao Si felt that it was more certain to do so, and he felt that Trotsky was also happy to see the Leninists fighting among themselves, and that this attempt should be realized as long as the old Trotsky had his say in the Politburo.

However, Xiao Si ignores the feelings of a person, and the feelings of this person will directly affect the outcome, and this person is Ruzutak. As the second-in-command of the Smalls Group, Ruzutak has always acted as a lubricant. Adjust internal contradictions and do ideological work for comrades. It can be said that this is a big nanny.

Of course, Ruzutak's status as a nanny is very unusual, because he is very good at mediating conflicts and caring about his comrades, so his prestige is very high. And he doesn't like Xiao Si's approach.

In Ruzutak's view, Xiao Si has been a completely different person since 1940, and his demanding requirements for power have simply reached the highest standard, and he really can't wait to grasp all the power.

At first, Ruzutak thought that this was just Xiao Si's desire to establish a leadership core, but he was not particularly repulsed by this, and he also believed that a leadership core was indeed needed. But with the outbreak of war, although the contradictions between Xiao Si and Li Xiaofeng became more and more acute, Ruzutak began to be confused. To be honest, although Li Xiaofeng has a greater military voice, he does not have the exclusive right to speak, and he has always exerted military influence on behalf of the Xiaosi group. Fundamentally speaking, this is to respect Xiao Si's leadership core position, which belongs to obeying the leadership.

But what puzzled Ruzutak was that it was clear that Li Xiaofeng's behavior was not out of line, but Xiao Si always wanted to share directly, or simply said that he would send someone (confidant) to take over someone's power in this regard, which seemed to be suspected of striking a balance.

In Ruzutak's view, is this very necessary not to say first, emotionally speaking, it is also a bit excessive, people are rewarded for meritorious deeds, how come you come to Xiao Si You are not only not rewarded, but have to be punished? If he were Li Xiaofeng, I am afraid he would not be happy and would not be able to figure it out.

Of course, at that time, the reason given by Xiao Si was to "improve the construction of the party system" and "avoid some comrades who grasp military power from doing evil", and this reason Ruzutak reluctantly accepted, although he did not think that Li Xiaofeng had the above suspicions, but after all, it is not a good thing to monopolize power, especially military power. Therefore, at that time, he actively cooperated with Sverdlov to do Li Xiaofeng's work.

And now, when Trotsky began to turn his way on military issues and began to lean towards Li Xiaofeng's opinion, Sverdlov went so far as to think that Li Xiaofeng was engaged in a small military clique, and that this bloc would do more harm than good, which was completely unacceptable to Ruzutak.

Suddenly, Ruzutak stood up and said very sternly: "What do you mean by creating a small clique within the party and the army? Comrade Yagoda, tell me clearly now, who exactly is this small clique you are referring to?! ”

Yagoda was still a little proud before, as Xiao Si's spokesperson, he enjoyed the attention of the audience, especially those awe-inspiring eyes made him have an indescribable sense of achievement. And at this moment, Ruzutak's words were like a basin of ice water pouring him through the cold. Obviously, Ruzutak was very dissatisfied with his statement, and could even be said to be questioned in person.

For a while, Younggoda's tongue was knotted, you must know that although he has been feeling good recently, he is really like that in the party, not looking at Sverdlov's face, there are too many people who can kill him.

Like Ruzutak, that can really make Youngoda go up in smoke with a breath, and even Xiao Si will not stop him, because his Yakoda and Ruzutak have completely different effects on Xiao Si.

Anyway, now Yakoda is very nervous, and he is glancing at Sverdlov, meaning nothing more than hoping that Xiao Si will help him speak quickly. However, at this time, Xiao Si was deep in thought, because he also heard something from Ruzutak's words, and it was obvious that Ruzutak did not approve of him doing this.

Xiao Si was a little caught off guard, and the reason was simple. He had always thought that Ruzutak was on his side. will work with him to combat Li Xiaofeng's arrogance. And now Ruzutak's attitude is completely different. This completely disrupted Xiao Si's rhythm. For a while, Xiao Si didn't know how to continue.

Yes, now everyone is looking directly at Xiao Si to see how Xiao Si will react, once Xiao Si chooses to continue strongly, the consequence may be the complete collapse of the Sverdlov group. No one dares to be careless on this major issue of right and wrong that has a bearing on the future of the group, and even some people have already expressed their impatience, such as Tomsky.

Tomsky can be said to be an old revolutionary with old seniority. It was most appropriate for him to speak, and I saw him say with a smile: "Comrade Ruzutak, you are so excited, the army has really been in trouble for some time now, and there is nothing wrong with Comrade Yakov asking us to pay attention. If there is none, it will be encouraged, and if there is improvement! ”

However, Ruzutak did not think so, and he said very sternly: "What is the reason why the army is making trouble, and are our Red officers and soldiers not actively fulfilling their duty to defend the motherland?" Or is it that someone is deliberately releasing water, and the country has suffered heavy losses? ”

The corners of Tomsky's mouth twitched, and he said hesitantly: "But the recent series of defeats must always be held responsible, right?" ”

Ruzutak smiled and asked, "Whose is responsible?" Is it to hold the Military Commission accountable? Or will the General Staff be held accountable? ”

This is Chiguoguo's slap in the face, and it is clear that Ruzutak is dissatisfied with Tomsky's deliberate confusion of concepts. It is to name all military responsibilities either as the collective leadership responsibility of the Central Military Commission or as the responsibility of the blind command of the General Staff. All in all, it has nothing to do with Li Xiaofeng.

Three times five divided by two Tomsky was knocked back, and now Xiao Si had to bite the bullet to meet the angry Ruzutak. He said in as slow a tone as he could: "I mean, some very few individual comrades are not good at listening to the opinions of other comrades on military issues......

However, he had only made a start, and was ruthlessly interrupted by Ruzutak: "Who are the very few comrades?" Comrade Yakov, can you stop going around in circles and make it clear, who exactly are you dissatisfied with? What is the real reason for the dissatisfaction? We are all Bolsheviks, what can't be said openly? ”

This sentence directly made Sverdlov blush, making him quite embarrassed, and the atmosphere in the conference room was close to stagnant for a while.

After a long time, Ruzutak sighed, and said very sincerely: "Comrades, we are all Bolsheviks, we are all comrades, we should work together at this moment of national crisis, how can we do one thing in front of one thing and one thing behind the other?" I know that some comrades have opinions about Comrade Andrei, but are these opinions dedicated to the common good? Is it entirely based on work, not from personal grievances? Comrade Andrei is a good comrade, and at this moment he is heroically killing the enemy at the front, pinning his head to the belt of his trousers. If we let him know that we, the comrades who stayed in the rear, not only did not understand and support his work, but discussed shooting black guns from behind, how chilling and cold it would be! This kind of thing that makes relatives painful and enemies happy, we must never do! ”

With that, Ruzutark walked out of the office without looking back, leaving only Sverdlov with a cloudy face and a group of villains with evil intentions.

The meeting naturally broke up unhappily, but the news spread quickly, and soon Li Xiaofeng, who was fighting bravely on the front line, learned the information of Xiao Si's small meeting, and also knew the statements of everyone at the meeting, he just said that he was amused: "Among so many people, there is only one smart person, Ruzutak, the others, hum!" ”

Obviously, Li Xiaofeng is very disdainful of those people, but his opinion of Ruzutak is much better, it is obvious that Lao Lu is still as kind as ever, belongs to the kind of good comrades who can adhere to principles, and will never engage in conspiracy behind his back.

However, what Li Xiaofeng didn't expect was that not long after he made this conclusion, Ruzutak personally rushed to Bryansk, and what he didn't expect was that this person was still here to do ideological work.

"Comrade Andrei, I think you should have a good talk with Comrade Yakov, how can you act like a class enemy if you are your own comrades. If there is a contradiction, it is completely possible to communicate! Especially now, when the war situation is very bad, we should strengthen exchanges, and I believe that as long as we talk well and tell the truth with our party spirit, we will be able to resolve the contradictions. ”

Li Xiaofeng was a little amused in his heart, did Ruzutak think that the problem between him and Sverdlov was just a contradiction, or that it could be solved by mere communication? At the end of the day, the root of the problem is power. Sverdlov saw him as a threat and wanted to restrain and suppress him. But he didn't want to be angry, why did he have to accommodate Xiao Si, his power in the military did not fall from the sky, but he managed it bit by bit, during this period, it was not that he did not support you Sverdlov, now it's good, the merit is high, ready to hide the bow, what the hell!

So he spread his hands: "Comrade Ruzutak, haven't you noticed that Comrade Yakov has changed, power has changed him, he is no longer the Comrade Yakov who could talk freely with us in the twenties, he wants absolute authority, not my unscrupulous advice." In that case, what else is there to talk about? ”

Ruzutak also sighed, hesitated for a moment, gritted his teeth again and said: "Andrey, you just listen to me once, try your best to meet Comrade Yakov, I will personally do his work, we are a whole, we can't just disperse!" (To be continued......)
