Li Xiaofeng couldn't keep up with the thinking of the tutor, why did you suddenly get involved with the political commissar, what kind of thinking is this.

While the thing was pondering what was going on, the mentor suddenly spoke again: "Go and call Comrade Yakov, and we'll sum it up together!" ”

Li Xiaofeng welcomed this proposal very much, and since he had returned to Stalin to make a big moth, he, Sverdlov, and the mentor had not had a small meeting for a long time. There seems to be an invisible barrier between the two sides, which has alienated their relationship a lot.

Li Xiaofeng has a lot of opinions about this, of course, he has opinions about Stalin. You sinister villain, you actually fiddle with this insidious trick to provoke the relationship between the mentor and us, we are not done with this account!

However, what is more strange is that Sverdlov does not seem to be particularly concerned about being alienated by his mentor, and even Li Xiaofeng vaguely feels that Comrade Xiao Si is still a little happy about this, as if this is a good thing.

"Of course it's a good thing!"

Taking this opportunity to ask a certain immortal who had doubts in his heart, he finally got a positive response from Sverdlov. Comrade Xiao Si explained with a smile: "Andrey, we are destined to do great things, and although Comrade Lenin's trust and appreciation for us is a good thing, in the long run, it is not very beneficial to us!" ”

Li Xiaofeng scratched the back of his head, he really didn't understand, if you want to be promoted and make a fortune, you must need the appreciation of your superiors, what's wrong with the mentor being their confidants?

"This is not good for our independence!" Sverdlov said, "If we follow Comrade Lenin in everything, then in the eyes of other comrades we are nothing more than Comrade Lenin's microphone and echo worm!" And if we want to do great things, we must get the corresponding status! If we have been acting as a microphone and a sounder, think about it, what would have happened to us if Comrade Lenin was gone? ”

Li Xiaofeng was a little dumbfounded, and for a moment, he thought that Sverdlov had also passed through the possession. How do you know that something will happen to your mentor next year? How do you know that Master Dao will not live to be 60 years old, you are planning in advance?

"Of course, you have to lay out in advance!" Sverdlov earnestly instructed someone, "Although we are close comrades-in-arms of Comrade Lenin, we must also hold our own political positions, and the struggle within the party, although it is not obvious now, will inevitably become quite fierce in the future!" The louder we were in the party at that time. The better it is for us! ”

Li Xiaofeng's mind was swollen, and he said dizzily: "But, it's ...... Will it cause misunderstanding of Comrade Lenin? ”

Sverdlov laughed and said: "How could Comrade Lenin be misunderstood? In fact, we are doing this in the best way for Comrade Lenin! ”

Li Xiaofeng was completely dizzy, and for the first time he found that his political wisdom was quite limited. At least what Sverdlov just said, he didn't understand a word!

"Ha Lu Ha!" Sverdlov laughed, laughing quite sharply, "Andrey, I thought you had already experienced it, but now I realize that you don't understand anything!" ”

If someone else talked to an immortal like this, Li Xiaofeng might have to go crazy. But Comrade Xiao Si is different. They are now grasshoppers on a rope, and the relationship between the two sides is too close. In a sense. It was Sverdlov, the elder brother, who took his "little brother" to advance and retreat together. There is no shame in being taught a lesson by my brother.

"Yakov, tell me quickly, I've been completely confused!" Li Xiaofeng was busy asking.

Sverdlov nodded and said slowly, "Actually, I only realized it recently. At present, there are three forces in the party......"

Li Xiaofeng said: "The ultra-right faction headed by Kamenev and Zinoviev, then the permanent revolutionary faction headed by Trotsky, and then Comrade Lenin and our ......"

"It's good that you know the way!" Sverdlov nodded again, "Among them, Kamenev is the least powerful and does not have much influence on the party. So it was Trotsky who needed the most attention, or the most important thing in the future. If I'm not mistaken, he will be our worst enemy in the future! ”

Li Xiaofeng didn't agree very much with this, he pouted and said: "I think, our biggest enemy is Stalin, this guy is too insidious, you must pay attention to him playing yin!" ”

Sverdlov smiled again: "There is no essential difference between what you say and what I say, I am looking at the problem from the point of view of Comrade Lenin, and you are from the point of view of both of us......"

Li Xiaofeng was a little embarrassed, Sverdlov could be regarded as saving face for him, and it should be said that Comrade Xiao Si's assertion was very correct, and the only opponent in the party who needed the attention of his mentor was Trotsky. Lao Tuo is too powerful, too rape flower. In all fairness, neither Stalin nor Sverdlov nor his half-immortal can match each other in terms of true talent and learning. The only person in the party who can be stronger than him is the mentor himself.

As the number two person recognized in the party now, it is not surprising that he should be the only one to take over the position of the mentor. But it is clear that the mentor's preferred successor is not Trotsky, and the differences between the two are obvious, but they have come together only temporarily because of the general situation of the revolution.

As I said earlier, on the side of the mentor, there are almost no people who can be compared with Trotsky, and their overall quality is so inferior to Trotsky, which determines that whether Stalin or Sverdlov fights Trotsky alone, I am afraid that the winning rate is not high, and there is even the possibility of being blown up.

The only way to restrain Trotsky is to unite, and before Trotsky can be defeated, the successors of the mentors must unite and unite with the outside world. This is also the reason why Sverdlov said that the greatest enemy was Trotsky.

But at the same time, it must be noted that there can only be one successor, and for the time being, the most likely candidate is Sverdlov, and then Stalin. For the sake of the throne, the two must divide the winner.

How do you tell the winner? Naturally, it is to show your personal ability and charm, and to express yourself hard, the better you perform, the brighter your future will be. Therefore, in order to cultivate successors, mentors must appropriately delegate authority to candidates.

Think about it, in this case, only the mentor is the first to look forward, and being the mentor's follower is not in line with the candidate's identity. Candidates must have the ability to handle affairs independently, and they must also have a certain prestige and status within the party. Therefore, the relationship between the candidate and the mentor will inevitably change. Other words. Candidates must be following the mentor at the same time. Independence holds up a piece of the sky.

After Sverdlov's explanation, Li Xiaofeng fully understood that the recent attitude of the mentor towards him and Sverdlov was strange, and as candidates, both Sverdlov and Stalin had the power to have their own system under Lenin. But the current Mentor is not dead after all, and the struggle against Trotsky still takes precedence over the Mentor. In this case, neither of these two is too powerful, it is not in the interest of the Mentor.

What is in the best interest of the mentor? Sverdlov and Stalin compete with each other to hold each other back, and under the referee of the mentor, they will embark on a long political marathon, and whoever perseveres to the finish line will win everything. And the sad Trotsky will serve as a whetstone in the hands of the Mentor.

Figured it all out. As a candidate, Sverdlov's position in the party will be consolidated and strengthened, and he may even take over the class of the tutor in the future. Isn't that 10,000 times better than being a mouthpiece and a follower for the mentor?

Even if this long marathon will be extremely difficult, after all, Sverdlov has made a good start. 10,000 times happier than those who don't even qualify.

The only thing that makes Li Xiaofeng more depressed is the role he plays in this, and it is clear that the mentor does not think he is a candidate. Being too young and too young is a flaw for him. No amount of ability can make up for this shortcoming. And he had too good a relationship with Sverdlov, in order to maintain balance. His power must be limited, otherwise this marathon will not be compared at all.

Brother was also shot while lying down! Li Xiaofeng is speechless, but now that he has waded into this muddy water, it is impossible to quit, and if he wants to get ahead, he must stand up to Sverdlov. But on second thought, it was either Sverdlov or Stalin who could take over the tutor's class, and he didn't like steel, so he didn't have a choice at all.

However, Li Xiaofeng still didn't understand a little, he thought that the mentor asked them to have a small meeting to repair the relationship, but according to Sverdlov's analysis, this possibility did not exist at all. And even if you want to have a small meeting, you shouldn't leave Stalin's goods?

"It's simple!" Sverdlov smiled again, "Stalin will not agree to your proposal at all, according to your meaning, Comrade Lenin has already been moved, so in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, and in order to reduce resistance, of course, it is impossible to call Stalin!" ”

In fact, Li Xiaofeng also understood that this meeting was indeed not suitable to be called Stalin, but by analogy, in the future, the steel goods would also have a proposal that could impress the mentor, and this kind of proposal might not be called when he and Sverdlov were not treated by him, and when they had a small meeting in secret.

To be honest, this result is not what Li Xiaofeng wants, he really didn't plan to team so early, he just wanted to serve his mentor impartially. But now, by mistake, he has joined Sverdlov's camp, which may have a great impact on some of his future arrangements.

While the man was thinking about how to adjust his plan, Sverdlov suddenly asked: "Does Comrade Lenin have any explanation other than asking you to call me?" ”

Naturally, there is no other explanation, but Li Xiaofeng is more concerned about the political commissar that the mentor said.

"Commissar?" Sverdlov frowned, and suddenly said: "I understand what Comrade Lenin meant. The political commissar's method is really good! ”

Well, Li Xiaofeng is becoming less and less confident in his political IQ, Sverdlov just listened to the word political commissar, and grasped the thoughts of the mentor, and he had a lot of money with the mentor, but he had not yet grasped the mind of the mentor. People really can't be compared!

"Andrey, you don't have to be too disappointed," Sverdlov laughed, "you just care too much about the appointment of the old officers, and you care too much. ”

"What the hell does the commissar mean?" Li Xiaofeng couldn't wait to ask.

"Comrade Lenin probably meant that he intended to use political commissars loyal to the party to supervise the old soldiers who had defected, and with the supervision and control of the political commissars, it would be much more difficult for them to play tricks, and the most important thing was ......"

Li Xiaofeng said: "The most important thing is that you can use the political commissar to block the mouths of those oppositionists!" ”

Sverdlov also smiled: "That's right! ”

But was Lenin's mind really that simple? It should be said that Sverdlov guessed only partially. The Mentor does have the idea of using the commissar to spy on the old soldiers. But that's not all.

"The choice of the political commissar is very important!" The instructor said with great seriousness, "As a bridge between the party and the army, their existence is far more than just supervising a few old officers!" They have to monitor the psychological and spiritual state of the troops under their command, mobilize the enthusiasm of the soldiers, and in short, their presence will ensure that the army serves our party, and not the party serves the army! ”

Li Xiaofeng was surprised. Could this be the legendary party commanding the barrel of the gun? It seems that this should be Taizu's military thoughts. However, it is not surprising that the Mentor would have such an idea. Today's Russian army has so many ideological ups and downs that yesterday they may have supported a certain party, but today they may suddenly turn their guns on a certain party.

The failure of the Cadets and the Provisional Government to bring the situation under control was due to their short-sightedness, which was the root cause, but their weak control over the army. It is also one of the important reasons. It is estimated that the mentor was frightened by the fickle Russian soldiers, and in order to prevent them from defecting, he came up with such a solution.

"But this requires a very high quality of the political commissar!" Li Xiaofeng interjected.

After all, the political commissar does not have a good reputation in the Soviet army, and high-quality political commissars can greatly improve the combat effectiveness and cohesion of the army, but in the same way, low-quality political commissars are also not worth their lives. In the Soviet army, the debate over the commissar has always existed, and the intermittent commissar system is three ups and three downs:

For the first time, the Fifth Congress of Soviets, held in July 1918, adopted a resolution. The system of political commissars was introduced in the army and navy. until the abolition of the political commissar in 1924;

The second time, May 10, 1937. In accordance with the resolution of the Central Executive Committee of the Soviets and the Council of People's Commissars, the political commissar system was again introduced, which was abolished in August 1940;

Thirdly, after the outbreak of the Great Patriotic War in 1941, the political commissar system was restored, and in October 1942 the one-long system was again introduced until the collapse of the Soviet Union.

Lenin glanced at a certain immortal and said calmly: "Therefore, we must seize the time to train a group of qualified political commissars!" ”

Sverdlov was taken aback, and he asked, "Are you going to let Brusilov train the political commissar?" I'm afraid this ......"

Sverdlov's words also surprised Li Xiaofeng, according to his idea, just let Brusilov train a group of barely qualified low-level commanders, train political commissars, he really doesn't have such courage. In particular, the mentor has been emphasizing that it is a bit perverse to let the old soldiers train revolutionary military commanders, and it would be a great rebellion to let them train political commissars.

"I don't intend for them to train commissars," Lenin said slowly, "and we will select a group of young commissars in the party who are loyal to the party and have a relatively high level of cultural quality, and then Brusilov will teach them the basic military skills...... They don't need to know how to fight a war, they just need to have basic military qualities......"

Li Xiaofeng fully understood, according to his idea, let Brusilov train officers, then under the existing conditions, I am afraid it will be more difficult. After all, a qualified officer has to go through several years of training, and for the looming civil war, there is simply not that much time.

And in the crash course, there is no guarantee of the level of the officers trained, and he and his mentor don't want to spend a lot of effort to train a group of rice buckets. So, it was too late to start training officers loyal to the Bolsheviks. If you want to win a future civil war and oppose Western interference, it is estimated that you can only use existing talents, such as old officers.

According to what the instructor just revealed, political commissars do not need to be directly responsible for military command, and their most critical function is to ensure that the military obeys the party's command.

Therefore, the military quality of the political commissar is not the first, but they cannot be completely ignorant of military affairs, so it is a good choice to give them a certain amount of military training, and then let them monitor those old officers who "surrender to sincerity".

Because there is no need to specialize in military affairs, the training time of political commissars can be greatly shortened, and it is natural that they can "riot soldiers" in a short time. This also addressed the party's distrust of the old officers, who had military command but were firmly stuck in the possibility of doing whatever they wanted. In this way, the opposition has no reason to oppose it, and the party-led army can increase its combat effectiveness, and the result is that everyone is happy.

Li Xiaofeng looked at the tutor with some admiration, and sure enough, he changed the form slightly, so that the result was completely different. This method is more than one head stronger than him who only knows a tendon.

Li Xiaofeng and Sverdlov respectfully exited the tutor's office, and after closing the door, the two of them glanced at each other and sighed in unison, at this moment they both realized the sentence - ginger is still old and spicy! (To be continued.) )
