As mentioned in the above document, Li Xiaofeng actually had the idea of establishing a territorial air defense force at the beginning, but after comprehensive consideration, it was found that this was not necessary, and it was useless except to satisfy the selfish desires of a small number of people.

Judging from the experience of later generations, the reason why the proportion of generals in the Soviet Union is so high is that in terms of military branches, the general state has three or four branches of the armed forces, while the Soviet Union actually has five major services, in addition to the navy, land and air forces, there are also territorial air defense forces and strategic rocket forces. There are more officers in one more team, and to put it mildly, marshals, commanders, and generals will have a lot more.

What's more, after the establishment of the large military region (theater) system, the pressure on the General Staff at this level has been greatly reduced, so why bother to create a large set of teams at the expense of the people and money?

It seems that the establishment of the Territorial Defense Force is a reversal of history? It seems that the forces opposing the creation of the Territorial Defense Force are in the mainstream? It seems that the efforts of Sverdlov and Muranov are going to be combined?

Hey, it's not that simple. Why did Sverdlov and Muranov dare to do this? If there is really no chance of winning, Xiao Si will bring humiliation on himself?

It's very simple, there is another person who supports the establishment of the Territorial Defense Force, that is, Tukhachevsky, for Tukhachevsky, the establishment of the Territorial Defense Force is a good idea, which can weaken the Air Force, and give Arxnis a little color, what is more refreshing than a communiqué for personal vendetta?

Of course, Tukhachevsky was not entirely a communiqué vendetta, and the reason why he supported the establishment of the Territorial Defense Force was entirely due to his different personal understanding of the combat mission of the Air Force. In the eyes of Tukhachevsky. What long-range aviation, what territorial defense forces are all waste, and the only useful thing for the air force in his opinion is front-line aviation, but Arxnis does not buy this set of accounts. Stubbornly squandered the Air Force's precious funds on two wastes.

Therefore, Tukhachevsky has always had an ambition to dismember the current large air force by administrative means and divide it into three small air forces, so that he can justifiably grasp the front-line aviation in his hands, and let this godson do a good job of miscellaneous for his own son's mechanized troops.

In the past, the Air Force was monolithic, and it was run by Arksnis. There is Li Xiaofeng behind him, and he really can't get a needle into the water and can't splash it, Tukhachevsky has no choice. And now. There is a split within the Air Force, and if he doesn't take advantage of this opportunity, he will really be kicked in the head by a donkey.

Anyway, after Sverdlov expressed his support for the creation of the Territorial Defense Force, Tukhachevsky immediately followed suit. A list of urgent reasons for the creation of a territorial defense force was enumerated. I can't wait to cut off a shoulder for the Air Force right away.

Moreover, Tukhachevsky not only supported himself physically, but also actively lobbied Trotsky for help. So what was Trotsky's attitude? To tell the truth, Lao Tuo also knew the doorway inside, knew that this was the General Administration of Homeland and Air Defense, some people wanted to be promoted, it was Sverdlov who was impatient to expand his military power, and he also knew that Tukhachevsky was eyeing the Air Force.

Yes, Trotsky was well aware of these twists and turns, and of the dangers of doing so. The three major branches of the armed forces have suddenly become the four major branches of the armed forces, and how many more generals will be produced? How much of a financial burden does this have to add?

But look at Tukhachevsky's eager face. Remembering Tukhachevsky's sad and depressed death some time ago, it is still the energetic Tukhachevsky who has a taste for Trotsky today, and Trotsky really hopes that Tukhachevsky will take this opportunity to regain his strength.

Isn't it just that there are more generals, and another command system has to be built? It's okay to endure it, maybe it's really more efficient than now?

When this thought took hold of Trotsky's mind, it was impossible to oppose him, so when Trotsky expressed his support in principle for the transformation of the Main Directorate of Territorial Defense into the Territorial Defense Force, the balance of forces immediately changed subtly but markedly.

A considerable number of members of the Military Commission immediately wavered and began to hesitate, and Arksnis alone could not stop the young Skatorotsky Gatukhachevsky's turns, and when he was about to lose, Ruzutak returned.

At first, the kind-hearted Ruzutak did not link the upgrading of the General Administration of Territorial Defense to the Territorial Defense Force with the memories of Xiao Si's previous attempt to suppress a certain immortal, he thought that it was a normal problem of military system reform. So when he found Xiao Si and expressed the meaning that a certain immortal was willing to sit down and have a good chat, Xiao Si immediately misunderstood.

How did you misunderstand? Xiao Si thought that this was a certain immortal who had softened! Yes, he thought that this was a stepping stone for the Territorial Defense Force to hurt Li Xiaofeng, and thought that someone couldn't hold on, so he let Ruzutak surrender.

At that time, Xiao Si couldn't help but feel a little proud, thinking that he had made a good move, and at that time, he could go up to the fifth floor without pain in his waist and legs, and he was suddenly resurrected with full blood on the spot.

He actually put up a shelf: "Comrade Andrei wants to talk to me, it's okay!" It is necessary to talk about his ideological problems, and some things cannot be solved only when they happen, let alone not changed without others pointing them out......."

Ruzutak was inexplicable when he said this, I don't know what crazy Sverdlov smoked? Of course, he also heard a little, Xiao Si's attitude has changed, this is becoming tougher, putting himself in the position of the superior.

Although Ruzutak did not understand why, it did not prevent him from pointing it out: "Comrade Yakov, what do you mean by this? What does it mean to know and not change? What is a problem of thought? Are you suggesting that there is something wrong with Comrade Andrei's thinking? ”

Xiao Si nodded solemnly: "Of course he has a problem with his thoughts, could it be that I have a problem with my thoughts?" Now, now that he has recognized the problem, he should actively correct it, and he should do his best to admit the problem to me and correct the mistake! ”

Ruzutak became more and more confused, and after Xiao Si finished speaking, he asked again: "What you mean is that Comrade Andrei not only wants to admit that he has a problem. And ask for your forgiveness? Right? ”

Xiao Si snorted, that attitude was really a little unsightly. At least it made Ruzutak's anger rise slowly, and he almost exploded at that moment. But for the good of the collective. Ruzutak gritted his teeth, and finally held back his anger for the time being.

He said bitterly for the last time: "Comrade Yakov, I must remind you one last time that we all have ideological problems, which can be solved by criticism and self-criticism. Are there contradictions and disagreements between you and Comrade Andrei. Is it just a question of Comrade Andrei alone? I suggest that we all sit down and talk openly and honestly, and it is better to blame others less. Review your mistakes more ......"

In this case, Xiao Si naturally couldn't listen to it, and as a result, Ruzutak returned in vain. On the other hand, Xiao Si did not wake up from the misunderstanding, and still took it for granted that his side had achieved a certain advantage. I also want to desperately expand the so-called "advantage".

For example, Yagoda declared: "This fully shows that our actions in the previous paragraph were correct." It is also effective, it is when we hurt the enemy that they will put their attitude right. The next thing we need to do is chase and fight until we win! ”

This speech was praised by Xiao Si, and at that moment Yagoda was a little fluttering, how many years have passed, and he is finally going to come out. As for Muranov, he dreamed of the moment when he got the rank of general, and he was really smiling.

But what's more interesting is that. They didn't know that it was really just a misunderstanding. For Li Xiaofeng, this kind of Cheng dù fuss is nothing at all, and what if he has Trotsky's support, Trotsky at this time is not even a member of the Military Commission, and as for Xiao Si and Tukhachevsky, that is, paper tigers, they can scare ordinary people, but they can't frighten him.

A few days later, when the Central Military Commission held an enlarged meeting to discuss the issue of territorial air defense, Li Xiaofeng, who had taken the time to return to Moscow from the Bryansk front, directly scoffed at the proposal: "The current military system is very much in line with the current situation of the Red Army, and there is no need to make a big move to revise it. In short, in the future, our Red Army will not be the three major branches of the armed forces, but the nine major branches of the armed forces, including artillery, armored troops, infantry, navy, marines, naval aviation, front-line aviation, long-range aviation, and territorial air defense......

Please note that Li Xiaofeng has not finished speaking, and then he continued to sarcastically say: "No, according to the opinions of some comrades, this is not detailed enough, and it can be divided in depth, for example, the Territorial Defense Force has to manage both fighter units, interceptor units, and artillery units on the ground, how complicated it is. I think this should be done, and then cut three more knives and set up a Territorial Air Defense Combat Army, a Territorial Air Defense Interception Army, and a Territorial Air Defense Anti-aircraft Artillery Army, so that the commander-in-chief's hat will have an extra basket, which can greatly meet the needs of some official fans, right? ”

Li Xiaofeng lightly pierced the essence of the incident, which made some people unable to raise their heads, but this was still not all he wanted to say, and soon he slapped the table viciously and scolded: "This kind of bad idea that comes up with a casual pat on the head, in addition to satisfying the selfish desires of individual people, does it have any benefit to the Red Army?" I am resolutely opposed to this practice of using the public for personal gain, and I am the strictest critic of the comrades who put forward this kind of stupid construction! At a time when the Great Patriotic War is in full swing, why don't you think more about how to defend your home and the country and do something meaningful, but instead concentrate on the camp, this is simply the current counter-revolutionary behavior! ”

Sverdlov and Tukhachevsky's faces became very ugly, these two were full of confidence before coming to the meeting, thinking that they could fight a turnaround battle this time, and even very optimistic that they could crush Li Xiaofeng without a fight.

But now, Li Xiaofeng told them with a practical attitude: "Crush Lao Tzu, wake up!" ”

Sverdlov and Tukhachevsky's faces were ugly, but they were not particularly nervous, in their opinion: "Since someone is ignorant of current affairs, then don't blame us for being ruthless!" ”

Yes, in the eyes of these two, they now have the absolute upper hand, and Li Xiaofeng's stubborn resistance is simply a mantis arm to stop the car, and it can be cleaned up in minutes.

"The public says that the public is justified. The mother-in-law said that the mother-in-law was reasonable, and the reason was explained in a basket, what should I do in the end. That depends on democratic decision-making. ”

Yes, Sverdlov didn't bother to talk to Li Xiaofeng, because he knew someone's temper too well, that was the master who didn't hit the south wall and didn't look back, Lenin couldn't completely convince him back then, don't waste this effort as soon as possible.

Tukhachevsky also thought it was good to vote directly, but he didn't know the personality of a certain immortal. It's that he is not sure about convincing a certain immortal, and in the end, it is very likely that his side does not have the upper hand. Instead of giving someone a chance to convince other wavering members of the Military Council. It's better to take advantage of those wall grasses not to defect and vote directly.

The vote began, and both Tukhachevsky and Sverdlov were confident, but when the final result came in. The faces of these two are even more ugly than pork liver. Their proposal was overwhelmingly rejected!

Why is this happening? The reason is very simple, or this matter is too undisciplined, for the existing highest-ranking generals of the navy, land and air force, no one is willing to give up the power in their hands. Yes, today the Territorial Defense Forces are independent, and tomorrow will the armored forces also have to leave? Who would dare to say that there is no such possibility? Who dares to guarantee that the heads of the Armored Corps Bureau and the Naval Aviation Bureau below do not want to be promoted to one and a half levels. It's better not to open this opening, and directly kill Muranov, the initiator.

But Tukhachevsky and Sverdlov couldn't figure it out, when they consulted the members of the Military Commission. Everyone's uh-huh-ah seems to be the default.,Thought the next thing is to go through the program! Who would have thought of this!

Immediately Tukhachevsky jumped out: "The result of the vote is not right. How can it be vetoed, this is someone playing tricks! ”

Although Sverdlov was not as out of shape as Tukhachevsky, he meant something about the same: "Is it the comrades who counted the results that reversed!" ”

Look, Xiao Si took it for granted that his side should be an overwhelming majority, thinking that someone had exchanged the voting results.

But the scene of the slap in the face came out immediately, Li Xiaofeng stood up and said very calmly: "This is not simple, comrades who voted against just now, please raise your hand, let's order a little bit on the spot and see if there is a problem with the result!" ”

After speaking, Li Xiaofeng was the first to raise his hand high, and followed by Ubolevich and Triandafyilov, who followed up with a brush, almost in the blink of an eye, most of the people in the conference room raised their hands, to put it bluntly, the only people who did not raise their hands were so few people, and they could be counted on one hand.

Needless to say, there are two possibilities for this category of people: the first, I am afraid that it is an out-and-out wall-to-wall grass, who was previously fooled by Tukhachevsky and Sverdlov and stupidly voted for it. And now as I see that the opposition is the mainstream, I quickly correct it immediately, anyway, it was a secret ballot before, and who voted against and who voted for it could not be found out at all.

The second type of people is a bit special, and this type of people are generally the supervisors of those branches of the armed forces that are relatively independent, and they feel that the establishment of the Territorial Defense Force is a model, and they can follow up on the spot in the future, so they naturally want to support it.

But who would have thought that in the blink of an eye, the proposal would be dropped in seconds, and the stupid Tukhachevsky and Sverdlov would have to check the votes again, and Li Xiaofeng directly made the vote public. After all, the combat chiefs of the navy, army, and air force are all watching, and if they are on the wrong side at this time, it means that they have a small calculation, and they will definitely have to wear small shoes after they go back, and if they don't do well, they will be transferred from their posts, and this is going to be a dead end.

In fact, Li Xiaofeng also did it on purpose, he just wanted to use this to deter the wall-to-wall grass and opportunists with small abacus, and scare them fiercely, to see if they dare to see profit and forget their righteousness in the future. Of course, by the way, I also slapped Tukhachevsky and Sverdlov again, didn't you say that there was a problem with the number of votes? See no, there is indeed a problem, your tickets have been counted too much!

I saw Li Xiaofeng smile slightly: "It seems that some comrades made a mistake when they voted just now, so I said, how can anyone make a wrong choice in this kind of major issue......

This sentence made Tukhachev and Sverdlov almost tremble with anger, this confrontation was so slap in the face, thinking of the previous high spirits, these two almost had a stroke. As he walked out of the conference room, Sverdlov went limp on his feet and almost fell on his head.

Yakov congratulated a certain immortal: "Another great victory! ”

It's just that to his surprise, a certain immortal is not particularly happy, on the contrary, he seems a little silent, and after a long time he says: "This victory is nothing at all, the result has long been out, and they will definitely be resolutely opposed by Arksnis, as long as I take the lead, Trotsky's influence will soon be neutralized." But it's not over! ”

Yakov didn't understand, it was clear that they had won a big victory, how could they say that it was not over yet? Could it be that Tukhachevsky and Sverdlov can still turn their hands into clouds and rain with their hands?

Li Xiaofeng shook his head and said, "I'm not worried about them, it's more difficult for them to regroup in a short period of time." What really makes me uneasy is this kind of sign, tsk, the current sign is quite bad! (To be continued......)

PS: During the tour, bow and thank the comrades who voted and rewarded!
