410 Eve
When Akimovich exaggerated Li Xiaofeng's terror to Albert and demanded that the new prime minister take drastic measures together with the Entente bloc. Thousands of kilometers away in Moscow, Lenin also received a telegram of inquiry from Radek.
It should be said that Radek's so-called inquiry telegram is more like an inquiry telegram, and the tone is definitely not good anyway, and it has the flavor of questioning the central government and questioning Li Xiaofeng.
It can be seen from this that what Radek said to Luxembourg before was "unclear" and "impossible" was definitely a cover-up. In fact, he agreed in his heart that it was indeed a certain immortal digging the foot of the wall. In other words, he wished that some immortal was digging the foot of the wall.
The reason is very simple, he wanted to drive Li Xiaofeng away from Germany before, so he did not hesitate to find a lame excuse to make trouble. Now, the main responsible comrades of the KPD have expressed their solemn concern, and once it is confirmed that someone did it, then it is an inevitable choice to let him go, or even repair him!
To tell the truth, after Raddick left in Luxembourg, he gloated and said to Yue Fei: "See, Andre. Petrovich is dying again, believe me, this kid did it! We've got to make him look good this time! ”
What Radek wanted to do, his idea was naturally not a secret to Lenin, as for the matter of the High Seas Fleet, the mentor really did not know, but he, like Radek, felt that if anyone was responsible for this, it was probably Li Xiaofeng.
"Does Comrade Andrei have any explanation for this?"
In response to the mentor's question, Sverdlov and Ruzutak glanced at each other and smiled wryly. To say that they don't know anything about this is a lie. After all, he managed to give the go-ahead to Königsberg with a large number of sailors. There they are. Especially Xiao Si. As a member of the Supreme Military Council, he also had considerable influence in the Military Commission.
But they really didn't know that someone was so bold as to openly attack the idea of the High Seas Fleet. Someone had only lightly announced that a military operation against the German government would require the cooperation of some naval officers and sailors.
Both Sverdlov and Ruzutak thought that someone was going to help the Jews in Königsberg again, and the Baltic Fleet was idle anyway, and it would be good to lend someone a little bit of a man, and to mess with the Germans and make them even more chaotic.
Okay! Who would have thought that someone would break the sky as soon as he got it. The essence of the German High Seas Fleet was gone, and anyway, judging from the inaccurate information they received, the number of ships that someone had engaged in was enough to overthrow the Baltic Fleet.
Get back a fleet at a time, who will believe it? But now you can't believe it, and even the brotherly party of the Communist Party of Germany is a little anxious, which shows how big the turmoil caused by someone is.
Lenin had been paying attention to the expressions on the faces of the two capable men, and seeing their constipated virtues, it became clear to the Master that this was indeed the work of someone.
The old man rubbed his temples and sighed. "How many ships did Andrei get?" he asked. ”
Xiao Si wordlessly took out a telegram and handed it to the tutor, who took the telegram and only glanced at it. I was stunned by the long list above.
"There are so many!" Lenin let out an exclamation.
If you don't be shocked, you can't do it, there are 6 battleships, 4 battlecruisers, 8 light cruisers, and destroyers are not mentioned, but they are more than a dozen in general. This Nima ...... Well, the absolute workhorse of the Baltic Fleet, four Gangut-class dreadnoughts, compared to the capital ships in this list, are nothing short of scum......
"Are there really so many?" The tutor asked again in disbelief.
"Basilev confirms that the list is accurate and reliable," Xiao Si said cautiously. After all, this matter is too shocking, and the impact is really bad, and it is very likely that the more ships you get, the greater the culpability of someone.
Therefore, Xiao Si must say good things for someone: "I think so," Xiao Si cleared his throat and said, "Comrade Andrei's starting point is still good......"
His words were immediately interrupted by Lenin, and the tutor asked unhappily: "What is the starting point or good?" ”
Xiao Si felt a little bitter in his heart, and sure enough, someone angered the mentor again, how could this end!
He hurriedly gave Ruzutak a look beside him, and asked him to help persuade and help someone say good things, otherwise this level will be very difficult!
Before he could open his mouth, he heard Lenin laugh happily: "Andrei was really able to surprise me, easily capturing the main force of the German imperialist invading fleet, and greatly relieving the pressure on our seas. That's great! ”
Sverdlov and Ruzutak looked at each other a little, and in their opinion, the approach of a certain immortal was a little inauthentic. If you think about it, Russia and Germany now have diplomatic relations, and although the existence of such diplomatic relations is very reluctant and fragile, it is still alive after all. Let's talk about friendship, say respect for the Brest contract, and go black with a knife behind our backs, isn't it kind? It could damage the diplomatic relations between the two countries, and maybe lead to a fierce armed conflict!
"What's wrong with that!"
If Lenin could hear both of them, he would have roared. Did Lenin like the Brest Treaty? Certainly not to like, he himself had said more than once that this treaty was nothing more than a stopgap measure, a temporary sacrifice forced to be made for the victory of the Russian Revolution.
The words forced and temporary, speak to Lenin's true attitude towards the Brest Treaty, which was a piece of paper to wipe the buttocks, and when it was no longer needed, it would naturally not be observed. In other words, he never thought that he would honestly implement the treaty to the end. As long as the situation changes, he will turn his face and deny this treaty at any time.
Historically, too, after Germany announced its surrender and severed diplomatic relations with Soviet Russia in order to please the Entente bloc, he immediately annulled all the terms of the Brest Treaty. And in an orderly manner, all the responsibility for the breach of contract was placed on the Germans.
I have to say that when you deal with international relations, you have some kind-hearted moments, such as declaring that you will abide by the right of national self-determination. Declare the abrogation of a series of secret treaties signed during the Tsarist era. But he also has thick black moments when he is an old man. I want to yin him. He's going to be more yin than you!
In this regard, Xiao Si and Ruzutak seem too honest and not thick enough. Comrade Iron and Steel can be regarded as having received the true inheritance of his mentor in this regard, and if he were here, he would also applaud Li Xiaofeng's actions.
"But the protests from the Germans?" Xiao Si reminded.
"Protest against what?" Lenin smiled and asked rhetorically, "Comrade Andrei is a bit clever in this regard, he will not do this under our banner, you see, the Germans will not protest against us!" ”
Truly. Li Xiaofeng has thought about this issue for a long time. If you just get the ship back to Russia, or do it under the banner of the Bolsheviks, you will definitely be criticized. At first, he was ready to cooperate with the KPD and run it in their name. At that time, the fleet belonged to the KPD, and it was still German, and it could not be picked out. When the German revolution failed, he took the fleet away in a single order. Who knew that Luxembourg and Liebknecht were not interested, and ridiculed him for his lack of experience in struggle.
There was no way, the KPD could not be used under the guise of the KPD, so he had to borrow the guise of the Jews. The Jews nominally took over the fleet to help attract hatred. Albert's Provisional Government, even if it was annoyed, could not do anything.
I have to say that the tutor still knows Li Xiaofeng and knows that this kid is wilted. He was secretly happy to let the Germans suffer such a big loss.
Speaking of which, the relationship between the Mentor and the Germans, and specifically with the German Marxists, is indeed not very good.
In Europe at that time, the leading big brothers of Marxism were two countries - Germany and France. Lao Ma and Lao En are both Germans, and German Marxists are still very proud of this. As for the theories of these two, the Germans feel that they are orthodox and mainstream.
The French think that the two great teachers are you Germans, but it is from France that their theories are established and put into practice. We Gauls are the center of the revolution and have the most orthodox communist theory, and you Germans are still stained with our light!
At that time, when it came to communism, the first thing that came to mind was France or Germany, and as for Russia? That barbaric and desolate country should wash and sleep, and it is only right to learn more from Big Brother Franco-German.
And Lenin was very disgusted with this, it is true that you have a good foundation for the revolution in France and Germany, and you started the revolution early, but this does not mean that you are the boss, and it does not mean that you are fragrant when you fart. Especially after the outbreak of World War I, most of the Marxists in France and Germany embarked on the road of revisionism, shouting with all their might what to fight for the motherland and the nation. Not only did they not resist this imperialist war, but they cheered for them.
I've been making trouble for a long time, and you bastards shouting about proletarians uniting and internationalism are all fake, and when it comes to your own interests, all of them are no different from imperialists. In Lenin's view, both the Germans and the French had taken the wrong path and betrayed the most classic Marxist theory.
Especially after the Mentor led the toiling masses of Russia to victory after victory, and initially gained a firm foothold, his disdain for Germany and France became more and more obvious. Naturally, there was a lot of criticism about Trotsky's behavior of praising other people's stinky feet.
In the eyes of the mentor, it is true that the KPD is a fraternal party, but the brothers are clear about the score, and you Germans have been making small moves before, so why didn't you criticize what the government did at that time. Especially since 1919, when your government has reverted to a hostile policy towards Soviet Russia, you have a fart? You Germans can't just be allowed to take advantage of you, and Lao Tzu is not allowed to fight back, right?
Lenin had a clear understanding of the international situation, that the German Provisional Government would never be pro-Soviet Russia, that it was impossible to remain neutral, and that it was very likely that they would take a series of hostile measures to cater to the Entente bloc. This required that the Bolsheviks must be vigilant, they must be on guard, and it is entirely possible to take the initiative to attack.
Moreover, Lenin was not very optimistic about the KPD, even if Trotsky was blowing the theory of permanent revolution to the sky. He also felt that the revolution in Germany would not be easy, and looked at the Russian Revolution, which had been going on for two years without a complete victory, taking advantage of the great opportunity of imperialist infighting.
This shows that the forces of world capitalism are much greater than expected, and that the German proletariat is certainly stronger, but it is not only the capitalist forces of their own country that they have to deal with. In fact, all the pressure of capitalism in the world is concentrated in Germany. In this case. The revolutionary shì will be smooth sailing before it is called a ghost.
Although Lenin did not necessarily think that the German revolution would fail, he was mentally prepared for a more tortuous and complex German revolution. Under these circumstances, it is commendable to do everything possible to strike at the forces of imperialism and to sabotage the complicity of German imperialism and the bourgeoisie with foreign imperialism!
Especially Li Xiaofeng did quite a beautiful job this time, almost without a single soldier, a shot and a bullet to disintegrate the main force of the German Navy, even if someone is suspected of cutting first and then playing, but it is too beautiful!
"But the comrades in Germany, and Comrade Trotsky. I don't necessarily understand! Sverdlov reminded.
This is indeed a problem, the rookies of the German Communist Party did not understand the cruelty of the struggle, and they were full of naïve illusions, and they once accused the Russian revolution of being too violent and bloody. Even to think that the experience of the Russian revolution is not worth mentioning, if not to deny the Russian revolution altogether, then at least to discount it.
How could they, full of illusions, think they are the bosses, allow the Russian fraternal class to "dig into the wall"? And Trotsky's gang had to just kneel and lick the KPD, and put all their hopes on them, and if they had the slightest hint of trouble, they would make some kind of friendly surprise!
"Sue sù Radek," Lenin pondered. He said categorically: "The behavior of the German High Seas Fleet has nothing to do with our party or our country. His task is to do what he has at hand, and not to be suspicious of his comrades! ”
Xiao Si was surprised. He was naturally willing to see this result, but it also meant that the Mentor had offended the Trotskyists severely. Obviously, Radek's motive for questioning in a telegram is pure, and there is a meaning to discuss the law, and the Mentor not only did not explain, but also forcefully pushed it back, will this exacerbate the conflict?
"Contradictions are universal," Lenin said solemnly, looking at him: "Some contradictions can be resolved, but some contradictions cannot be compromised!" ”
It is true that there is no concession, Lenin felt that the interests of the Bolsheviks and Russia were the first priority, and the German Communist Party only needed to pay attention to the revolutionary affairs now.
The Trotskyists, on the other hand, believed that the German revolution was a key protection unit, that it was possible to satisfy the wishes of the German comrades as much as possible, and to create a good revolutionary environment.
The matter of the High Seas Fleet was extremely important to the Germans, and they were also extremely dissatisfied. Then it makes sense to deal with those responsible. Only by letting troublemakers like Li Xiaofeng distract the attention of the German comrades get out of the way, can the German revolution unfold smoothly, right?
For a time, the two factions quarreled over this issue, and almost staged an all-out military act, so that Lenin had to use his authority to forcefully suppress the opposition and get a certain immortal ashore safely.
"This time, although we did not achieve our goal," Trotsky later wrote to Radek, "but it undoubtedly greatly shook the foundations of Lenin's authority, and the comrades saw whose position was correct and whose line had a future...... This is just the beginning, as long as we unswervingly continue to work hard, the people who support us will surely become the majority! Now that the focal question of the revolution, or the opportunity to determine the future and destiny of the revolution, is in your hands, it is your mission to carry out a deeper revolution in Germany and to set off a real upsurge of the proletarian revolution! ”
Radek was also quite excited when he received this letter, and he fully agreed with Trotsky's prediction that Lenin had already shown his decline in the previous struggle, and that as long as the revolution in Germany proceeded smoothly, the forces and forms of "friend and foe" would be completely reversed!
Radek immediately went into action, and he personally approached Liebknecht and Luxemburg: "I regret and am ashamed of the question of the High Seas Fleet, and this extremely one-sided trend of thought has led to this regrettable incident by the imperialist mentality of some of our comrades who still have an imperialist mentality and always regard Germany as the enemy. On behalf of the Bolsheviks, I can only express my sincere apologies to the German comrades. ”
Are Liebknecht and Luxembourg angry? Naturally, there is a little bit of it, although the Bolsheviks refused to admit it, and let the Jews help carry the black pot, but everyone knows who is standing behind the Jews. Truth be told, it made them feel like they had been fooled.
However, these two are not the kind of people who do not care about the big picture, and compared to the small problems of the high seas fleet, the next deeper revolution is the central issue.
"We have decided to call on the German proletariat on May 1, International Workers' Day, to take to the streets again to overthrow the Provisional Government of Albert and establish Soviet Germany. We desperately want the support of the Russian fraternal class! ”
Radik was overjoyed, acceded to the demands of Luxemburg and Liebknecht, and informed the Central Committee of the news in an ostentatious tone.
"May Day?"
Li Xiaofeng soon learned of the news, to be honest, although there are not many days left before May Day, he still hopes that Liebknecht and Luxembourg can carry out the revolution sooner, and die early and live sooner! He was already tired of being in Germany, and wished he could go to Königsberg as soon as possible to see the Grand Fleet he had acquired, so as to satisfy his vanity.
However, Li Xiaofeng did not expect that May Day would be more exciting than he imagined, and the Albert Provisional Government and the Entente Group, which had also learned the relevant information, had already colluded closely, preparing to join forces to strangle the revolution and eliminate him as an immortal...... (To be continued......)
