Kamenev was in a good mood and treated himself to a cup of authentic latte in the morning, which was not a big deal, but an authentic Italian product given to him by Sukhanov, which was supposedly scavenged from the home of a former favorite of the tsar.

The rich milky aroma and caffeine stimulation made Kamenev feel refreshed and energized, and even the rainy weather in Petrograd became pleasant. Of course, there's no such magic with just a latte. The main reason for Kamenev's good mood is that Dzerzhinsky is gone, and the train at noon yesterday went directly to Helsinki, and if everything goes well and you can buy a ticket to Stockholm, then you won't have to see that iron mask for the next half a month.

Seriously, Dzerzhinsky's departure made Kamenev breathe a sigh of relief, although the man in the iron mask and he were basically comrades in the same trench, but the sense of oppression brought by the other party always made him worry about his heart. He is like a clockwork alarm clock, he can only move forward with a steady stream of karma, and he cannot relax for a moment, as long as he slacks off, the iron-faced and selfless and powerful steel Felix will immediately wave the whip and spur him forward.

Without Dzerzhinsky's elbow, Kamenev naturally doesn't have to play with his life like this, let alone worry about the opposition making trouble, the world is big and now Petrograd is the biggest, see who dares to go against Uncle Ben.

For those oppositionists, Kamenev has long been displeasing to the eye, what nonsense, a group of mud-legged people who can't read a few words know what revolution is, and it is not enough to honestly follow them as highly educated and cultured people. Wouldn't everyone be happy to be in their place, and to do their duty!

Even Kamenev secretly made up his mind that if the restless workers made any more trouble, he would use a little strong means to make an example of the chickens and monkeys, and he would have to expel a few leading party members. Let them understand what organizational discipline is.

Well, the most annoying thing in it is that Andre, this little kid is so annoying, he spits out wild words, and it would be best if he could be cleaned up. It's a pity that this kid is not a party member, and it is impossible to control him...... However, it is said that the guy Gayulauf is close to this kid, so why don't you clean up the big guy first! Give him a serious warning.

Kamenev's plan has been thought out, and the beating of Kamenev must be made public, preferably at the party congress, and the restless guys in Petrograd must know who is in charge now!

Kamenev's resentment is not small, he has always been haunted by the last siege, although Dzerzhinsky at that time with softness to resolve the crisis invisible, but he still feels that he can't get over the face. Especially after Dzerzhinsky's victory, he stopped him from chasing and fighting, making him unspeakably aggrieved, and there was nowhere to vent his anger. Well, now that Dzerzhinsky is gone, he naturally has to settle accounts with the autumn queen.

This is not only revenge, but also a bit of a confrontation with Dzerzhinsky, after all, the man in the iron mask who was in the limelight in the last incident is obviously the same as his claim, why should all the applause belong to him, and he can only be bricked?

Kamenev was preparing to establish his authority, in the final analysis, in order to completely control the party organization in Petrograd. If he can reorganize according to his vision, it will be a great boost to his political career!

Kamenev naturally did not let go of the good thing of killing two birds with one stone, and drank the last bit of latte at the bottom of the cup, he called Stalin, and he still had some expectations for this comrade-in-arms who helped him fight against Dzerzhinsky:

"Comrade Stalin, we are now at the crossroads of the revolution. As the party's top responsible person in the country, we have the obligation and responsibility to lead our comrades to the right path. ”…,

At this, Kamenev paused and observed Stalin's expression, but as always, he was greeted by a numb face without any emotion and gray misty eyes. You can't read any useful information from this face, and if it sounds good, it's a pool of stagnant water, and if it doesn't, it's playing the harp to a cow.

This partner is really sullen, Kamenev slandered in his heart, he just sent away a man in the iron mask, and ushered in another facial paralysis, revolutionary work is really not easy to do!

Stalin did not speak, and then Kamenev could only play and sing to himself: "So it is necessary for us to unify our thinking, do you have any good suggestions for this work?" ”

Stalin silently took off the pipe hanging from his mouth, don't look at him like stagnant water, but there was an uproar in his heart. Kamenev means that he knows very well, how to unify thoughts? It's not just about cleaning up those oppositionists! No one is more stupid than anyone else, although he doesn't speak, but his heart is bright, Nima, don't you just want to stand up? Even if I don't agree, you're not going to do it. Let me express my opinion, it is nothing more than to let me go along with you, and even if things go wrong in the future, you are ready to let me carry the black pot!

The conscience of heaven and earth, Stalin is now really confused about the prospects of the revolution, so after returning to Petrograd, he has remained silent is golden, the old saying is not said, the more you speak, the more mistakes you make, and a thousand words are better than a silence. If you are willing to toss, then you can toss as you like, anyway, I am a revolutionary mass who does not know the truth, and I will watch and beat soy sauce wherever the party is directing.

"I have no opinion, completely obey the leadership of the party!"

After waiting for a long time, watching Stalin pick up and put down the pipe, and then pick it up again, and after holding it for a long time, he got such a reply that nothing happened, and Kamenev felt uncomfortable. You dead pockmarked just want to play tricks, don't say you want to be a wallgrass, right? Tell you, there is no such good thing!

"Comrade Stalin! It is right to obey the leadership of the party, but the party does not need a sound worm, as the senior leader of the party in the country, you must shoulder your responsibilities and not let down Comrade Lenin's trust in you! ”

This is a bit heavy, almost an allusion to Stalin as an irresponsible echo worm. For such a big hat, people can't afford it. But Stalin is not an ordinary person, even if Kamenev pointed his nose and scolded him, at this time he still pretended to be deaf and dumb, just scold, my brother is thick-skinned and can withstand it. Isn't it just a little embarrassing, compared to standing on the wrong team, this is a small meaning.

A Stalin who doesn't eat oil and salt, no one has a problem, you praise him, he is paralyzed, you criticize him, he is still in a state of stroke. Kamenev was depressed, the original Stalin was not this attitude!

Didn't we talk a lot on the way back to Petrograd? You were very supportive of me at that time; Later, in the face of the doubts of the grassroots party members and Dzerzhinsky's anti-water (Kamenev always thought that Dzerzhinsky was anti-water), you also firmly stood on my side. Why is it that now that I have the power to command the world, you are pretending to be deaf and dumb to me!

It can only be said that Kamenev's understanding was deviated, Stalin's attitude was consistent, he was not very optimistic about the prospects of the revolution, he was polite to Kamenev on the road, and later it seemed that he supported Kamenev, but in fact he was also with mud.

To put it bluntly, Stalin's attitude was that if Kamenev mixed well, then he would follow up; If Kamenev falls into the pit, then he will quickly pull out his feet and leave, as for whether he will fall into the well, it depends on the situation. Kamenev is counting on him to help him in the snow or help the charge, well, you've got the wrong person.

Stalin was smart, he knew very well what Kamenev wanted to do, and he knew exactly who Kamenev was getting close to during this time. Although the upper echelons of the party in Petrograd are now basically in this position, Comrade Lenin's sudden "Letter from Far Away" sounded the alarm for him. This is not a good sign, at least it shows that there is still a lot of risk in following Kamenev. …,

Stalin didn't want to take such a risk, so he would definitely not follow Kamenev to the dark, and of course he would not directly confront Kamenev, after all, the current situation is still unclear, it is difficult to say who wins and who loses, and betting too early will only lead to nothing. Therefore, he will neither openly offend Kamenev, nor will he immediately turn to the left, his idea is to continue to be silent, to do more and talk less, and to wait for Lenin to return home.

But Kamenev could not accept this attitude, in his opinion, Stalin was just playing tricks, that is, his position was not firm. For such a comrade, he will definitely not reuse it, and even if he wants to use it, he has to guard against it. So he didn't bother to force Stalin to take a stand, and directly told the other party what to do, and continue to be your mascot!

Seeing Stalin with facial paralysis go out, Kamenev's good mood suddenly disappeared, he thought that the other party would wake up at the last moment, but Stalin's casual attitude made him crazy. Isn't this guy really a little ambitious? I don't know that following me will be a broad road.

Kamenev couldn't figure out Stalin's choice, and his sullenness could only be vented on the desk, if it weren't for the oak of the desk, I am afraid that he would not be able to withstand the anger of Comrade Stone.

After venting hard, Kamenev forced himself to calm down, he told himself that he didn't have to be angry about a stupid 13 at all, you don't cherish the opportunity, there are people in the world who will cherish it!

He angrily took down a stack of newspapers from the newspaper shelf, intending to read the news to change his mood, but as the old saying goes, people who are unlucky get up and drink water and stuff their teeth. The enraged Kamenev had no idea that the newspaper he had picked out was a feast prepared for him by an immortal.

"Bastard!!"

The editors of the editorial office of Pravda were startled by an angry roar coming from the editor-in-chief's office, and they all looked at each other, completely unaware of the anger of the mild-mannered Comrade Kamenev, and that Comrade Stalin had already left. Who else can make him angry?

Soon the answer was revealed, his mouth was crooked, and he was in a state of rage, Kamenev waved the inaugural issue of "Voice of Russia" and shouted in front of the editors: "Go and check!" Check it out for me! Look where this newspaper came from...... Also, I'm going to find out right away who bought this newspaper! ”
