The grand military parade began with the order of the foggy wind jevic, and at this moment, Trotsky on the rostrum could not help but think back to that moment twenty years ago as he looked at the slowly approaching foot party. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

On that day, he also stood on this rostrum, watching the Soviet Red Army, which had experienced the baptism of World War II, slowly marching in, and at that time he was still standing next to Lenin, Li Xiaofeng and Sverdlov, and he remembered that on that day he gave his final speech:

"Soldiers of the Red Army, the Red Air Force and the Red Navy, commanders and political functionaries, men and women workers and men and women of collective farms, brothers of the proletariat who are at peace all over the world. On behalf of the Soviet Government and the Bolshevik Party, I pay you the highest tribute. With your unlimited support, selfless dedication and bloody struggle, the flame of our motherland and the future proletarian revolution has been protected, peace has been maintained, and justice has triumphed over evil! It's an exciting time, it's a time to be celebrated, and it's a moment that will be remembered forever. ”

Trotsky took a deep breath and continued: "But at this moment of happiness, we must not forget those martyrs who died heroically for the sake of our great Motherland, without whose selfless dedication we would not have our victory today, we cannot stand here and celebrate it with joy!" At this time, let us silently mourn these fallen heroes in our hearts and dedicate a minute of peace to them! ”

At this moment, at the initiative of Trotsky, Red Square fell silent, everyone stood up solemnly, even Lenin, who had been in a wheelchair, stood up tremblingly, he refused to be supported, and stood there stubbornly, and there was a solemnity over Red Square.

As the clock ticked to the end, and when Trotsky began to speak again, there was a deafening uproar that almost made the whole of Red Square tremble, and everyone was clapping and shouting for Ulla. This sound rushed out of Red Square, rushed out of Moscow, and even rushed out of the Soviet Union, making the whole world tremble.

"We won," Trotsky continued, "but the price of victory was heavy. In Ukraine and Belarus, 20 million compatriots were tortured and enslaved by the Nazis, a large number of farms and factories were destroyed, and the national economy suffered a major blow. Yes, we survived and won the victory tenaciously, and this victory was hard-won and worth cherishing. We should cherish the victory, how to do it? We don't want tears, we don't want to be sad, we want better jobs, we want to rebuild the destroyed farms and factories, we want to build the destroyed homes better than before the war, we want to live a happier life, we want to be happier and happier every day, and we want to live better every day, and this is the most correct and correct way to cherish victory. ”

"Of course, we must also realize that in addition to this hard-won victory, we have to face more challenges, imperialism is not dead, oppression and exploitation still exist, and this is not the time for us to sit back and relax. The compatriots of the whole country should redouble their efforts to build our motherland into a stronger country, and only in this way will our enemies not dare to take a step beyond the thunder pool in the future, and will not dare to impose war on us again! Comrades, I deeply believe that as long as we are united, no enemy can defeat us, and as long as we are united, we will inevitably advance from victory to victory! ”

To tell you the truth, Trotsky's speeches were more than so short, and he attached great importance to this last opportunity to address the people of the whole country. He has so much to say, he wants to talk about victory, he wants to pay tribute to the martyrs who died, he wants to talk about the challenges ahead, he wants to talk about the problems that will be faced, he wants to denounce the bureaucrats and corrupt elements. But Trotsky knew that this was a special occasion, and his peculiarities dictated that it was better to speak more inspiring words on this occasion, and that the people needed encouragement rather than lessons, and that the people had done better in this great war, and that the problem belonged to them, the ruling class, and that this special occasion should give the people joy and not invite a dark cloud, and that the warnings and lessons should be stopped!

After these words, Trotsky silently withdrew to a round of applause, ceding the grand stage to Sverdlov. The ten years that belonged to Trotsky were at the end of the year, and there were many regrets, and he also felt that there was too much work to be done, but this is life, and no one can do everything he wants, even if he is great.

Trotsky stood quietly beside Lenin, and he felt a sense of relief for no reason when he had been relieved of his burden, and soon a deep exhaustion followed, and he felt a little weak under his feet, and even his body began to weaken involuntarily.

At this moment, a pair of hands held him, which were withered and not strong, but Trotsky felt warm and communicative. The owner of these hands was Lenin, and he alone noticed that Trotsky was out of state at this moment of revelry. In fact, Lenin had been observing Trotsky, but he had little interest in the grand parade. When he retired from that position ten years ago, he also felt a burst of weakness, and only those who have really sat in that position know how much pressure there is. This kind of stress can exhaust people's mind, so much so that they feel like they age dramatically when they are unburdened.

Lenin and Trotsky supported each other through the parade, and although the two mentors did not say a word or even exchange a glance during the process, the handshake made them feel the same heart.

At this moment, Trotsky was watching Li Xiaofeng's situation with all his attention, just as Lenin had watched him in the past. Trotsky wondered if the man, who was credited with leading the Soviet Union to the next level, would be as abruptly weakened as he was.

Although Trotsky has withdrawn from the political scene in recent years, this does not mean that he does not care about the political situation, and he knows that the twenty years that someone has experienced are not at all less stressful, if not more stressful, than Lenin and his time. Count the major events that someone experienced: the Kosovo crisis in June and July 1945, the anti-corruption and anti-bureaucratic movement in 1947, the Cuban political crisis in 1949, the second Middle East war in 1952, the opposition to bourgeois liberalization in 1955, and the third Middle East war in 1964.

Every crisis is a major challenge, meaning that those who win can survive, and those who lose are ruthlessly eliminated. But history proves that someone is strong, and in the face of these crises, he did it neatly and without losing his skill, and these crises were always properly handled, and did not pose a threat to the Soviet Union in the slightest, and even after each crisis, the development of the Soviet Union had to go to a higher level.

Of these, Trotsky was most important to the crisis of 1947, the anti-corruption and anti-bureaucracy did not begin in 1947, but in fact the campaign had been carried out since the end of Trotsky's rule, and 1947 was only the climax of the campaign. In 1947, the conservatives represented by Sverdlov launched a frantic counterattack, and the struggle entered a white-hot stage. In that year, thousands of corrupt bureaucrats were dismissed, including more than 30 members of the Central Committee alone, and it was this movement that purified the officialdom of the Soviet Union, brought about a general liquidation of the bureaucratic stratum that had been secretly cultivated for more than 30 years, and began to regain the mainstream of the pragmatic, people-friendly, and simple style.

In Trotsky's view, this movement was regarded as clearing away the accumulated shortcomings of the past and laying a solid political foundation for the rapid development of the Soviet Union in the next decade or so. Without the victory of 1947, there would have been no incorruptible and efficient management team in the future. The existence of this group of managers was a key factor in the Soviet Union's ability to win those crises later.

But Trotsky still believed that a good team also needs a good core, otherwise it would be a mess, and the pressure on the core of the leadership was unimaginable, and he thought that after taking off this burden, someone would not perform much better than him, and that Lao Toll would not mind helping someone at a critical moment like Lenin did back then.

But to Trotsky's surprise and shock, a certain immortal behaved calmly and strongly, without the slightest weakness and exhaustion, and even more calmly than the five years younger, the latter did not know whether it was too excited or what, and seemed a little restrained and stiff.

This amazed Trotsky, who wrote in his diary that night: "What kind of mentality makes Andrei . Petrovich treats all this calmly, doesn't he feel melancholy at the end of his own era, and does he not feel uncomfortable with the sudden absence of pressure? I saw an unusually resolute Andrey. Petrovich, is this the reason why he has always been successful? ”

The grand military parade was over, Li Xiaofeng and Angelina left Moscow that night, they will first go to Leningrad, they have more affection for the city, he grew up here, met here, took the revolutionary road here, and got married here. Compared with the cold and political atmosphere of Moscow, the atmosphere in Leningrad is more relaxed and warm.

The two men walked hand in hand without bodyguards through the thrilling protest of February 1917, Angelina would smile and point out where someone had been arrested by the "black dogs", and then they would walk across the bridge over the Neva River and up to the Peter and Paul prison again.

Now the prison is a memorial to the February and October Revolutions, and it is just a fun experience for tourists and children who come to visit and experience the cells of the pioneers of the revolution with a smile and a smile.

Li Xiaofeng was also a member of the crowd of people who talked and laughed, and he smiled and introduced his short life as a prisoner to his beloved wife: "I saw that there was no in this cell, I was locked up here back then, and there was Comrade Felix in the same cell, he slept in my lower bunk, and on the other side were Comrade Petrovsky and Vasily, at that time our conditions were much worse than what you see now, how can there be such a clean quilt without fleas...... Comrade Felix was so dirty! Cleaner than beggars......"

Before Li Xiaofeng's words were finished, he was interrupted by a slightly immature child's voice: "Brag! ”

These words made Li Xiaofeng and Angelina happy, because it was a little girl who looked very smart who said this, and her big round eyes with blond hair made her look so cute.

The little girl was about seven or eight years old, and she should have only been in the first grade, and this was the first time she had come to receive patriotic education with her teacher.

Angelina bent down and asked the little girl, "Little friend, why do you say he braggarts!" As she spoke, Angelina pointed to a certain immortal.

"That's not easy," replied the little girl confidently, "the teacher told us that the October Revolution was a long time ago, and that all the people who participated in the October Revolution were old grandfathers, and their beards and hair were white!" ”

Li Xiaofeng and Angelina looked at each other and laughed, to be honest, a certain immortal and Angelina really don't look old, they look like they are thirty-seven or eighteen at most, if you want to say that they are in their sixties, who will believe it! Even politics. There was such a joke before the game: Andrey. Comrade Petrovich was a young man in the old revolution, or he must have concealed his real age when he joined the revolution.

Not to mention, a certain immortal did conceal his real age, and his real age was more than enough to be the great-grandfather of all the old revolutionaries.

After this day's play, Li Xiaofeng and Angelina seem to have returned to decades ago, as if they are still young. In the following decades, Li Xiaofeng and Angelina can be said to have traveled all over the world, teasing polar bears in the Arctic to watch the aurora, soaking in hot springs in Greenland, tasting local food in China, watching the World Cup in Mexico, eating lobster in Oceania, and even going to the United States to watch the Olympic Games.

In general, Li Xiaofeng no longer cared about the affairs of Soviet politics in these years, except for the 1966 memorial meeting in which Trotsky reappeared, and the rest of the military parades and other congresses were not participating. In the words of a certain immortal himself, the descendants have their own children and grandchildren, the descendants have no ability, the mud can't support the wall, you don't have to worry about it, the descendants have the ability and ability, and you don't need to worry about it.

In 1965, Kirikazevich officially retired, and his retirement also meant that the Soviet Union entered the post-October revolutionary generation. The old revolutionaries have all withdrawn from the stage of history and have been replaced by the official debut of the post-October revolutionary generation in the Soviet Union......
