After coming out of the tutor's office, Li Xiaofeng couldn't help but feel a sense of the mountains, he, Sverdlov, and the three generations of the mentor, the old, middle and the young, were all playing side ball, but the skills of playing were very different.

Among them, the lowest level of skill is him, an immortal, if he follows his plan, it is estimated that even if the border police force can be expanded, the amount will be extremely limited. It can only be said that he is an immortal who is not only inexperienced, but also somewhat taken for granted;

Sverdlov is one level above him, but on the overall level, he is still on the lower side. However, Xiao Si's strength is that he has enough experience, and he is not short of small means available;

As for the mentor, it should be said that his old man's level is too high, and he is a whole level higher. When a certain immortal and Xiao Si were still digging out their minds to engage in a conspiracy, the mentor had already carried out a conspiracy.

Look at the methods of the mentor, his old man doesn't care about those trivial things at all, what reserves, what bargaining, the level and level are too low, what is there to fight for these things? If we want to fight, we have to fight for the core thing, and we have to seize the initiative! That's what you call targeting!

That's right, according to the methods of a certain immortal and Sverdlov, it is certainly possible to expand the establishment a little, but no matter how it is said, it is extremely limited, and it will inevitably be cut by Trotsky.

And this is not the worst thing, that is, the next time, when the border police force is expanded again, it will have to bargain with Trotsky again. And no one dares to guarantee that such a bargain can be made in one step. Maybe you'll have to bargain two or three times. And even more!

Who can stand such a toss? It would be tantamount to giving up the initiative to Trotsky. Just open this head. It is inevitable that you will continue to be passive in the future!

Obviously, the mentor did not like to be passive, and he did not want to be led by Trotsky's nose, so he either did not make a move, and once he did, he would go straight to the core - we should fight for the initiative and solve all problems in one step.

The establishment of the border police should be solved in one step, and the army should be erected, even if the number of regular troops is now limited. But if you want to develop in the future, you don't have to look at other people's faces, how good is that!

As for Trotsky's opinion, Che, how the previous resolution of the Central Committee was written, it was already clear that the establishment of the border police force was corps. It's just that out of practical considerations, only one brigade was built first. But this does not mean that the border police force is now a brigade! It must be an army, even if it is now a regular army with only one brigade, it must be an army!

Li Xiaofeng did not know whether a dispute would break out between the Mentor and Trotsky on this issue, but he knew that the Mentor would have the character of the Mentor. Either don't do it, or do it well. He hates mushy things the most.

Li Xiaofeng also knew that if the mentor insisted on not letting go, then the border police force must be an army, what is it for? Not only because the Mentor is now very strong, nor because Trotsky is now unable to fight the Mentor, but because Trotsky has too many favors to repay on the question of building the army!

As the old saying goes, a man's mouth is short, and Trotsky was in the midst of this embarrassment. The controversy or struggle within the Bolsheviks was fierce on the question of how to build the Red Army and who should build and run it!

After the great October Revolution, fools know who grabs the barrel of the gun is the boss. Therefore, on the military question, both the Trotskyists and the Leninists devoted great energy, and everyone wanted to have a little more advantage in the Red Army and accumulate a little more military capital.

It should be said that the advantage of the Leninists is very great, after all, it is the Leninists who have always adhered to the line of armed struggle and called for turning the imperialist war into a civil war. Moreover, after the troubles of the Brest contract in February, Trotsky can be said to have suffered a great loss of vitality, and it seems a bit of a power to fight with the mentor at this time.

According to the ideas of many Leninist bigwigs, the person who leads the construction of the Red Army and is in charge of the strength of this red armed force must be the bigwigs of the Leninist faction. Among them, Stalin's voice was the highest, after all, this thing had engaged in a little armed struggle, and several of his brothers also had a lot of power in the army, so it seemed reasonable for him to form the Red Army.

But what is reasonable in the eyes of others may not be reasonable in the eyes of the Mentor, and it should be said that the choice made by his old man has broken everyone's glasses (including the Trotskyists). He did not choose the reasonable Stalin, but the completely unreasonable Trotsky!

Surprising, isn't it? The Mentor actually handed over the power of building and leading the Red Army to his political enemies! What kind of rhythm is this Nima!

At that time, many people couldn't figure out what this was for, and some people even thought that the mentor was old and confused, how could he make such a brainless choice. But Lenin had a point, and later he said to his old friend Gorky: "Who can give me a mighty army of millions but Trotsky?" ”

Yes, Lenin had an unusually clear understanding of this question, and only Trotsky was the only one who could quickly create a strong army in the party, and history has proved that the choice of the Mentor was completely correct. Trotsky, with his unique charisma and great ability to work, carried out the task successfully.

Of course, this is not to say that Trotsky was a military strategist or a qualified commander-in-chief. In fact, Trotsky was not good at commanding battles, he was better at organizing and coordinating and boosting morale. Hardly anyone is stronger than him in this respect, not even Lenin. As for the taciturn comrade steel, it will be thrown out a few streets.

To tell the truth, the rank of Generalissimo of the Soviet Union of Comrade Iron was not much more glorious than that that which Brezhnev himself later bestowed on himself. To put it mildly, he got off to a very bad start.

In short, Trotsky was responsible for the formation of the Red Army and his ability to become chairman of the All-Russian Military Council. It is inseparable from the support of Lenin. There is no support from the tutor. He wanted to get that position easily. It is completely impossible to carry out the work in an orderly manner.

In other words, Trotsky owes a considerable amount of favor here, even if the support of his Mentor in presiding over military work is entirely out of public interest and in the consideration of the overall situation. However, Trotsky had to admit that he could not have risen to the throne without the support of his mentor. No matter how he said it, he had to repay the favor.

Here I have to sigh again that a partnership like Lenin and Trotsky is so strange, and a pair of political opponents can work together very well, such a combination is probably unique in history.

Of course, some comrades will ask, Lenin was so generous, didn't he worry about Trotsky's dominance in the military? To say that Lenin was not at all worried would be false, and that the nerves of the tutor were not so great. The reason why the Mentor is not worried is simply because he has been prepared.

It was crucial that the Bolsheviks were collectively led. This is true of the Politburo, and so is the Central Committee. And the military council is still the same. Trotsky seems to be very powerful as the chairman of the Military Council, but it must be seen that it is not he who is the most powerful in this committee, but the Mentor.

To count them casually, Sverdlov, Stalin, and Li Xiaofeng were all members of this committee. It was simply impossible for Trotsky to have a monopoly on the army. At the height of the civil war, when the civil war was at its most intense and entangled, in the Tsaritsyn and Caucasus directions, Stalin, Voroshilov and Budyonny were quite uncomfortable with Trotsky.

Tukhachevsky, who was sent by Trotsky to command the south-western direction, was almost an ornament, and was almost by the three goods above. At one point, Stalin even organized a military opposition within the party, and dared to argue with his mentor.

It is conceivable that Trotsky, chairman of the Military Council, was not omnipotent, and of course the most obvious example was not in Tsaritsyn and the Caucasus, but in the defeat of Warsaw. As the chairman of the Military Commission, Trotsky did his best to do Voroshilov's work, hoping that this guy would cooperate well with Tukhachevsky, but what was the result? Voroshilov didn't buy it at all!

Come to think of it, this is still Stalin and Voroshilov, these two brothers are not the strongest force of the Leninists, and even more awesome is the combination of Sverdlov and a certain immortal, it is conceivable that it is impossible for Trotsky to monopolize military power. He even had to communicate and cooperate with his mentor so that he could do the work of the arrogant Stalin and Voroshilov and the like, otherwise Trotsky's work would not be carried out at all.

Therefore, as long as the Mentor insists on his position, Trotsky will inevitably have to make concessions on the question of the border police. And it wasn't a big deal in the first place, it was just a little uncomfortable for Trotsky. As a statesman, Trotsky must not have been emotional.

With the reassurance of the mentor, Li Xiaofeng was also completely relieved, or completely exceeded his expectations. After this is finished, I am only going to secretly engage in a little reserve, who would have thought that with a wave of the mentor's hand, the establishment of an army will be in hand.

Of course, most of the establishment of this army is still empty for the time being, but it is always good to have this name. For example, this goods began to joke about Yegorov: "Alexander. Comrade Ilyich, in the blink of an eye, you have gone from a brigade commander to a corps commander, you have to treat yourself! ”

Egorov was also more happy, of course, certainly not for the title of the empty army commander. He was glad that the problem had been solved relatively well, and with Lenin's intervention, he had avoided offending the chairman of the Military Commission before the border police force had been established.

But happy to be happy, Yegorov still had questions: "So how many soldiers can our army recruit for the time being?" ”

That's right, in Yegorov's opinion, no matter how good the formation of an empty army is, what is the point, even if he is given the rank of commander of an army group, but only let him command a brigade?

Li Xiaofeng smiled and said: "The regular army still has only one brigade of 6,000 people, but Comrade Lenin allowed us to recruit reserve troops in advance, do you understand?" ”

What else does Egorov not understand, he is still rubbing the sidelines. Of course, what he didn't understand was that the reason why he was still playing a side game was not that the mentor was incapable of allowing the border police to have three regular brigades at once, but that he would take care of Trotsky's face. Suddenly overthrow it. Isn't Trotsky very shameless. I don't know what kind of conflict did I think had between my mentor and Trotsky!

At this time, the last thing the Bolsheviks needed was internal conflicts, and it was not a big deal to give up a little vanity on minor and insignificant issues.

"So can we start the reorganization and training work in earnest now?"

Yegorov couldn't wait, he was satisfied with being able to command a brigade, but now it has become a whole division, and it will be a strong firepower division far beyond the average Russian infantry division. He couldn't wait to pull his troops into the battlefield right away.

"Alexander. Comrade Ilyich, don't be in a hurry. Li Xiaofeng said slowly. As I said before, with our current capacity, we can only afford one brigade, so we will not immediately arm all of these eighteen thousand troops...... The border police force will remain only a regular brigade, that is, a detachment, which will be fully armed. The remaining 12,000 men will form two reserve detachments, which will not be fully armed, but will only carry out military training and basic security work for the time being......"

Yegorov's excitement fell all at once, but he could understand this arrangement, he couldn't get fat in one go, and it was more conducive to creating elite troops by letting the two reserve detachments strengthen their training.

So he immediately suggested, "Then I think this is the way to go...... Don't divide who is the official detachment for the time being. Who is the reserve detachment, engage in a little competition. Before our troops are officially put into battle, no one is holding an iron rice bowl, and only those soldiers who perform the best can obtain formal qualifications......"

Li Xiaofeng likes this proposal, if we can maintain healthy internal competition, under the stimulation of competition for posts, all people must tense their nerves and stride forward. He immediately agreed: "It's a good idea, but I think we can get a little bit more up." A competition is held once a month, and the grades are divided according to performance, and the treatment and benefits of high grades for good performance are improved accordingly, so as to stimulate all soldiers to always strive for the first! ”

Yegorov immediately chimed in: "Yes, we must not only promote the competitiveness of Xiang Lu, but also implement the last elimination system, eliminate the part with the worst performance in every competition, and select the best of the best!" ”

When Li Xiaofeng heard this, he smiled, "If we want to implement the elimination system, it is not enough for us to recruit 18,000 people, it seems that we need to recruit some more people......

However, Yegorov disagreed: "I think 18,000 people are enough, we can't arm a reorganized division for the time being, and we don't need a reserve of 12,000 people." Actually, I think it's good to be able to leave about 10,000 people in the end, and it can fully meet our needs! ”

Li Xiaofeng thought about it and felt that it was right, anyway, this is just the beginning, and he is also struggling to bear 18,000 people, and it seems that part of the survival of the fittest is not bad. But what this guy didn't expect was that the situation changed faster than he estimated, and he wanted to lay off people, but someone immediately sent him someone away.

"Pavel. Mr. Nikolayevich, can you tell me why you will appear in my apartment? ”

After Li Xiaofeng finished handling official business, he walked into the house and saw this uninvited guest at first sight. Especially when this uninvited guest still breaks in on his own initiative, it is conceivable that someone will not be happy.

"Mr. Andrew," said a certain immortal, who was unpleasant, and the old Jewish man seemed even more annoyed, "and it seems to me that you are the worst partner I have ever met!" I doubt you have forgotten all about us poor people! ”

This is really true, Li Xiaofeng has indeed forgotten these Jews, he has been busy in the past few months, where can he take care of them. However, this does not mean that someone will admit their mistakes and apologize, in his opinion, the strong naturally have the power to be blameless, and he coldly asked, "What do you mean by this?" ”

"What do you mean?" The old Jewish man was furious, jumped up directly from the sofa, and angrily waved his fist and complained: "According to the agreement we reached before, as long as we hand over that powerful magic weapon, you will guarantee the safety of our Jews, won't you!" ”

Li Xiaofeng thought for a long time, and then remembered that it seemed that the promise he made at that time was only to ensure the safety of the members of the Eye of God, when did the conditions be extended to all Jews?

The old man coughed embarrassedly, but immediately emphasized, "Even if you only ensure the safety of the members of the Eye of God, you have not done it!" ”

Li Xiaofeng looked at him and asked strangely, "I don't remember any casualties you have recently!" ”

The old man snorted heavily: "There are no casualties, but our organization has suffered great losses, and more than half of its members have their property confiscated and driven out of their homes. Some are even in prison. Mr. Andrey, this is the protection you promised? ”

Li Xiaofeng was stunned for a moment, and then understood that the old man was here to call Qu. But he didn't apologize at all for that - who made you Jews know how to do business, and be the best at making money? The comprehensive nationalization policy of the Bolsheviks after coming to power was not only about confiscating the property of the exploiting classes, but also about liquidating them for their previous crimes. If you ghouls don't clean up, what kind of revolution is it! (To be continued......)
