Frunze really didn't expect this trip to be a real beauty, he just arrived in Moscow and was greeted by a super high standard of courtesy, at the railway station, he was greeted by all the Central Executive Committee members of Moscow. The old men of the Central Executive Committee, who used to be high and invincible, seem to have changed one by one, becoming amiable and enthusiastic like rice cakes, and they can't get rid of it.

After getting into the car arranged for him by the Central Executive Committee, even his personal secretary Dmitry could not help but exclaim: "The comrades in Moscow are so enthusiastic!" ”

Frunze did not speak, as if he was looking down at something, until Dmitry said: "The attitude of some of the other comrades seems strange in comparison with their enthusiasm." Comrade Mikhail, I just observed, Andrey. Comrade Petrovich does not seem to have come to meet you! ”

As soon as the words fell, Frunze suddenly raised his head and stared at the little secretary like an eagle locking on its prey: "Dmitry. Comrade Leonidevich, what are you talking nonsense? Is this kind of thing something you can have an opinion on? If you are so frivolous, then I can only let you go back to your hometown! Revolutionary work does not require a guy who chews the root of the tongue! ”

Temitry was stunned, his father was an old friend of Frunze, and before he died, he was specially handed over to Frunze, so he could be Frunze's secretary. Frunze has always been very good to him, just like an uncle treats his nephew. There has never been a vicious attitude like that just now.

So, he couldn't figure it out, obviously he was speaking for Frunze, but why did this always kind uncle suddenly get angry?

Frunze suddenly erupted just now. There's a reason for that. At first, he was also very enthusiastic about the Moscow Central Executive Committee. It would be impossible to say that there is not the slightest hint of pride. But when he got into the car and began to think calmly again: why was there such a big gap between his estimate and reality, he suddenly woke up.

The reason why the Moscow Central Executive Committee welcomed him so warmly was probably not just out of class friendship between comrades, right? At least, he didn't have that friendship with the Central Executive Committee in Moscow. And in terms of identity and status, the positions of the two sides do not seem to be equal.

Although he Frunze fought two victories. Although he has made some contributions, he is not a great figure in the party, and he has never been elected as a member of the Central Committee, not even an alternate member of the Central Committee. Among the members of the Moscow Central Executive Committee who came to welcome him, there were genuine alternate members of the Central Committee.

Why is it normal for a dignified bigwig at the level of a member of the Central Committee to be so enthusiastic about him and so "Corporal Lixian"?

Thinking of this, Frunze suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, and the fluttering pride and pride just now were completely gone. So after getting in the car. He fell silent, he actually just wanted to think alone and undisturbed for a while. Want to figure out where you are.

And at this time, Dmitry suddenly inexplicably pointed out Li Xiaofeng's name, and even more directly said that this person did not come to welcome him. This sentence was like a basin of cold water, pouring it on his head and making his heart cold.

Frunze immediately sobered up, he knew Dmitry very well, this little guy was very bookish, had too little social experience, was too simple at all, and did not understand how terrible this little thing in politics was.

He knew very well that Dmitry had no contradiction with Li Xiaofeng before, and the reason why he threw out such a sentence suddenly was that seventy percent of them were bewitched by others and fooled by some guys with honey-bellied swords, and the remaining thirty percent were probably that this child was carried away by the joy of victory and the enthusiasm of the other party, and he couldn't figure out his position at all.

Of course, whatever the possibility, as long as he said that, it was very dangerous. As the son of an old friend, Frunze didn't want to see Dmitry become a pawn being played with stupidly, not only because the fate of the pawn was quite sad and there was no guarantee, but also because the target he wanted to deal with was too terrible.

Although Frunze had never dealt with Li Xiaofeng, he knew very well that the young man's energy was quite terrifying, Comrade Lenin's confidant and Sverdlov's close friend, could anyone calculate?

Moreover, if there are no two brushes, someone can rise suddenly like a rocket, and in a few months he has gone through the road that the vast majority of comrades in the party need to accumulate for more than ten years to complete. In particular, the victory of the Moscow Revolution showed this person's super ability and skill.

Anyway, Frunze himself felt that if he came to Moscow alone, Zinoviev alone would have made him drink a pot. However, someone completely pulled Zinoviev off the horse, and slapped the Moscow Central Executive Committee member severely, and finally easily crowned himself the crown of the liberator of Moscow. If this great achievement was actually made by an eighteen-year-old young man, can it not surprise people, and can it not make people look up to it?

And now, Dmitry is actually playing such a ruthless character's little report, isn't this Nima looking for death?

Therefore, Frunze could not be calm at once, and he immediately lectured Dmitry in the most severe tone, and asked: "Who made you say these things?" You don't know Andrey at all. Comrade Petrovich, how can you pay attention to whether he is coming or not? Say! What the hell is going on? ”

Dmitry was dumbfounded, he really didn't know Li Xiaofeng, and he didn't pay attention to who came and who didn't come at first, a young man like him, he didn't know most of the people present, where would he pay so much attention?

However, when Frunze was greeting the executive committee members of the First Central Committee, a few voices came into his ears by chance:

"Andrey. Petrovich didn't come? ”

"No, that kid is now arrogant and proud, how can he put Comrade Mikhail in his eyes."

"It's really lawless, that kid in the previous paragraph made Moscow a mess. If it weren't for the shit luck that wiped out the Revolutionary Committee for National Salvation, it would have been his turn to be arrogant at this time! ”

"That's it, I want to say. Or Comrade Frunze is steady. If it weren't for him, he wiped out Karekin's reinforcements. Turn to get that stinky boy picking peaches? ”

"Isn't it, if Comrade Frunze had moved faster and could have arrived in Moscow earlier, the credit would not have been his!"

"Anyway, I am complaining about Comrade Frunze, who has already sent Comrade Voroshilov for reinforcements. Andre. Petrovich, the layman, should honestly let go, but he was good, in order to take credit. Directly put Comrade Voroshilov under house arrest, it is simply a means of compromise! ”

These whispers Dmitry listened to it really well, as a somewhat innocent young man, where did he have so many fancy intestines, and subconsciously felt that these words were very reasonable. And he was also very unconvinced that someone rose like a rocket, and felt that he was not much worse than someone. Now that someone had bullied the door, he had to remind his good uncle of that vile villain.

"Really?" Frunze frowned and asked, "No one plucked you?" ”

Dmitry was immediately unconvinced, puffed up his chest and said: "Of course not, I just can't get used to some people's practice of grabbing credit." Obviously, you are the one who liberated Moscow, and you were stirred up by him! ”

Frunze was angry and funny. Of course more of an anger, "You know what!" He shook his head and said, "It's not as simple as you think!" ”

"Why not!" Dmitry was still not convinced, and said stubbornly: "If we hadn't eliminated Karekin, he would have been able to deal with the enemy in Moscow wholeheartedly, and if it wasn't for his house arrest of Comrade Voroshilov, we would have been the last to eliminate the National Salvation Revolutionary Committee!" ”

Frunze took a deep breath and asked solemnly, "Do you really think so?" ”

Dmitry became more and more unconvinced: "Did I say something wrong?" ”

Frunze shook his head and sighed: "It's not that you said something wrong, but that there is nothing right in your words at all!" ”

Dmitry was stunned, he couldn't believe everything Frunze said, and was ready to argue at that time, but Frunze didn't give him a chance to speak: "First of all, you say that we eliminated Karegin, which is not entirely true. We were able to eliminate Karekin only because of the reinforcement of Petropavlov's regiment, without which we would at best be able to get to a tie with Karekin, and we can only say that they were blocked outside Moscow. ”

Speaking of this, he paused and asked: "Where did the Petro Paplov regiment come from, you should be clear. This unit was completely rearmed by Comrade Andrei, and without him, could we have won the battle? ”

"That's just a one-sided reason!" Dmitry became more and more unconvinced, "The main thing is that you command properly!" ”

Frunze shook his head again, "I can win without me!" But without the Pyotr Paplov regiment, it's really hard to say! At least without those cannons, we wouldn't have been able to hit Kalegin hard, would we? ”

"The heavy blow to Karekin is entirely the credit of Comrade Voroshilov, if he had not made a quick decision......"

"Shut up!"

Frunze was furious, and when he thought about it, he was very angry, Voroshilov, the bastard, completely disobeyed his orders and let the artillerymen open fire without permission, as a result, although Karekin was seriously injured, but also exposed the position, so that the artillery suffered heavy losses, if he had a choice, he would rather wait for the enemy's artillery to be exposed first, and then knock them out. Compared to the idiot of Karekin, it was the enemy artillery that inflicted great casualties on him.

"It was because of Voroshilov's irresponsibility that our artillery suffered heavy losses. If it hadn't been for the heavy blow to Karekin, I would have held him responsible! That bastard will only make trouble for me, and that's true in Luga, and when blocking Karekin, and it's still the same when sending him to reinforce Moscow! ”

Dmitry was taken aback by Frunze's hideous expression, and then he realized that his uncle was so disgusted with Voroshilov, and he was stunned at that time, and asked: "In that case, why did you send him to Moscow?" I really don't understand, at that time, you can say that you handed over military command to him? If that's the case, Andrey. Petrovich had nothing to say at all, and the credit for Moscow at that time ......"

"Tsk!" Frunze slapped his head, and he became more and more skeptical that taking Dmitry with him was the right choice, that this stupid boy was too naïve to understand the complexity of politics. was sold and helped to count the money.

But now that I've taken him with me. Frunze could only teach him slowly: "I told you just now. The credit for Moscow has never belonged to me, nor to Voroshilov, without us, Andrey. Petrovich can also win big. Even, to put it mildly, Voroshilov is the one who wants to take credit! ”

Speaking of this, he paused slightly, and found that Dmitry was still very confused. I had to continue to explain: "Let me tell you this, the vast majority of the people you see who warmly welcome us today are capitulators, all of them are Zinoviev's former henchmen, who were originally ready to surrender to the enemy, and were ready to hand over Moscow to the enemy. However, because of the presence of Comrade Andrei, their plans were completely destroyed, and Zinoviev failed, in order to shirk responsibility. Also in order to make a comeback, they linked up with Voroshilov's comrades. ready to squeeze out Comrade Andrei, ready to take his credit......"

Dmitry's eyes widened wider and wider, he couldn't believe his ears, and he couldn't believe that the pure comradeship in the party was so complicated, and for a while he felt that the three views were going to be destroyed.

Frunze patted him on the shoulder and said earnestly: "Dmitry, in the future, you must pay attention, you must be more attentive in dealing with people, some comrades among us are far from being as simple as you think." Don't be stupid, otherwise, you will be the one who suffers the most losses! ”

Dmitry felt dizzy and asked in confusion for a while: "Since Comrade Andrei's merits are real, why should Comrade Lenin and the Central Committee not hand over the military command of Moscow to him, but to you?" This doesn't make sense! ”

Frunze let out a long sigh, at first he couldn't understand this truth, but when he arrived in Moscow and saw the attitude of the Moscow Central Executive Committee, he suddenly realized. Lenin put him in charge of the military for a very simple reason:

That is, the mentor must first ensure his own interests in Moscow, Li Xiaofeng is really doing too well in Moscow, if he is allowed to beat the water dogs, then several of Stalin's irons will be cleaned up by him. Without Stalin's restraint, Sverdlov's power would have swelled greatly, a situation that the Mentor did not want to see.

So the only correct way is to hand over military power to a centrist who belongs neither to Stalin nor to Sverdlov. All this centrist has to do is to avoid any one dominance!

"The answer to this question is actually quite simple," Frunze sighed again, and suddenly realized that the number of sighs he had sighed on this day was almost equal to the number of sighs in a year, and he made a gesture to signal Dmitry not to ask, and then continued: "I will not tell you the answer directly. You need to learn to think about when you will be able to figure this out and when you will be able to take charge on your own! ”

In fact, this question is not only stumped by Dmitry, but also countless bigwigs in the party are also thinking about what kind of changes the Moscow changes can bring to the party. Take Trotsky, for example. At first, Lao Tuo did not pay special attention to the movements in Moscow, his whole energy was concentrated in Petrograd, as the number two in the party, and the new People's Commissar for Foreign Affairs, he had too much work to do during this time, arguing with the iron boss, fighting with Kamenev, communicating with the Entente, everything required his full dedication.

Therefore, it was not until the uprising in Moscow was declared successful and the open and secret struggle between Stalin and Sverdlov was exposed that he suddenly woke up - did Lao Tzu miss a good show?

This is not a lie, as a political master with political wisdom on a par with Lenin, he knows very well that Lenin made small moves, and the open and secret struggle between Sverdlov and Stalin is actually the sharpening of the knife, and when the knife is sharpened, it is used to cut him without even thinking about it.

Trotsky would have been more than willing to destroy these two embryos if he could, but the problem was that the owner of the embryos was Lenin, an opponent he could not afford to provoke for the time being, and to strike at them would be tantamount to declaring war on Lenin.

Trotsky was self-aware, he was certainly not Lenin's opponent now, and arguing with his mentor would only bring him a devastating blow, and of course, he could have dealt a heavy blow to Lenin, but it was completely pointless. He and Lenin were killed and wounded, and it was definitely Sverdlov and Stalin who benefited the most, so he would not do such stupid things that harmed himself and others.

In the same way, because of the relationship between Sverdlov and Stalin, Lenin would not punish him to death, so the situation in the party formed a very tangled balance. He, Lenin, Sverdlov and Stalin could only coexist for the time being, and unless there was a change in the strength of their forces on a large scale, everyone would have to continue to be entangled in this way, as Lenin had envisioned.

Did Trotsky want to strengthen himself and change the current unfavorable situation? That's for sure, but not for now. As Lenin's position became more secure, he could only carefully maintain his power.

But this time, the "infighting" between Sverdlov and Stalin gave him an opportunity to instigate the two men to fight a little harder and more fiercely, and Lenin would inevitably take action to calm the situation, unless Lenin was willing to see the winner between the two knives.

At that time, Lenin's attention would have been distracted, and he would have been unable to take care of him wholeheartedly, and he Trotsky would have taken advantage of this opportunity to steal chickens! It may be possible to break out of this awkward balance...... (To be continued......)
