039 Rivalry
Li Xiaofeng's angry appearance made Dzerzhinsky very pleased, and the head of the red spy was not appreciative of someone's arguments, but was happy that someone dared to speak up and speak the truth as always. Of course, someone's argument is indeed too left, and Dzerzhinsky does not approve of such a radical attitude, but at this time, compared to Kamenev's aggressive right, there is really a need for someone to fight in the ring.
Dzerzhinsky did not appreciate Li Xiaofeng's left-leaning, but he was completely worried about Kamenev's right-leaning. This fear did not arise now, but arose after Kamenev sent a congratulatory telegram in favor of Duke Lvov as Prime Minister of the Provisional Government on his way back from exile to Petrograd.
The unreserved support of the Provisional Government, the unreserved insistence on the war, the unreserved suppression of the emotions of the workers and soldiers, this is not just a matter of attitude, but a serious matter of principle. At least Dzerzhinsky himself was distrustful of the conservative Provisional Government, and let him support it in its entirety, well, I really can't do it.
However, Kamenev's return is so important to change the leaderless situation in the party, and if there is a rivalry at this time, Dzerzhinsky suspects that the party will immediately split. He did not want to see such a state of affairs, and he believed that Kamenev was just a moment of confusion, and that the situation should be changed when he understood the opinions of the grassroots comrades in the party and the true face of the provisional government.
So Dzerzhinsky decided not to have a head-on collision with Kamenev for the time being, but at this time someone had to be able to stand up and make a different voice, and he originally hoped that Molotov or Gayurov would play this role. One of them is the head of the Central Bureau of Russia, and the other is able to represent the opinions of the workers at large and can remind Kamenev from two different sides.
But it was clear that the two men seemed to be frightened by Kamenev, Molotov did not say anything at all, and pretended to be dumb in frustration, while Gayulauv seemed to have a stomach to say and his face was red, but he didn't seem to know how to speak.
Seeing Kamenev's one-sided advantage, Dzerzhinsky was disappointed and worried, just as he was thinking about whether he should come out and extinguish Kamenev's fire. Li Xiaofeng jumped out unexpectedly and launched a counterattack with a clear banner, no matter what his argument was, it was enough to have this attitude!
Regarding Li Xiaofeng's sudden attack, Dzerzhinsky smiled and said nothing, with this stunned man playing forward, he can beat the side drum at most. But for Kamenev, this is a flying disaster. He saw that he was about to unify his thoughts, who would have thought that an unknown yellow-haired boy would jump out and give him a slap in the face, and his disrespectful words, contemptuous tone, and bad attitude were unheard of.
Kamenev felt insulted, he wanted to fight back, he had to fight back, he had to fight back, and he must beat the other party to the ground. Of course, this must be done very skillfully, after all, the other party is too young, and he feels that if he is too aggressive, I am afraid that it will have the opposite effect, and will make the comrades next to him think that I am bullying others to suppress the small. It is best to be able to kill people with a soft knife, cut meat with a blunt knife, and crush the other party from the revolutionary theory little by little.
Right! That's it! How high a theoretical level can a little furry kid like this have? As long as you show a little real ability, you can refute it completely.
Suppressing the anger in his heart, Kamenev put on a posture of a dignified elder, and "guided step by step" with the attitude of the elders to the juniors: "Little comrade, your tendencies are too strong, and you are looking at a new regime with preconceived attitudes and colored glasses. Just because the head of this government is bourgeois, we cannot deny everything about them in the most one-sided way. We have to look forward and see their enlightened side, and you see, little comrade, isn't it this Provisional Government that you spurn that has released all the political prisoners? ”…,
Speaking of this, Kamenev pretended to smile lightly: "Otherwise, I'm afraid we people won't be able to gather here." Maybe he has been thrown into Peter and Paul prison by the Tsar's gendarmes and spies, Haluha ......"
"So, you're grateful to Dade!" Li Xiaofeng sneered.
Kamenev said proudly: "I can't say I'm grateful to Dade, at least it's an enlightened new number." If I'm not mistaken, comrade, I heard Comrade Dzerzhinsky say that you are also one of the political prisoners, right? You can't forget your roots! ”
"Forget your roots?" Li Xiaofeng snorted and said loudly: "I am politics
Yes, but my freedom is not wagging my tail and begging from the doglegs of the former tsar. My freedom was obtained by smashing the shackles and smashing the shackles in the open. Why should I thank the accomplices and sworn friends of the executioners who threw me into prison for no reason? Do we want to thank them for enslaving us? ”
After a pause, Li Xiaofeng said word by word: "Let me tell you, my freedom was won by myself, and it was fought for by thousands of awakened workers and soldiers in Petrograd. And it is not a bullshit gift from the Provisional Government, even if I want to be grateful to Dade, I will only go to the revolutionary masses who have paid the price of blood and life! ”
The room was silent, everyone listened carefully to Li Xiaofeng's speech, I have to say that this is the only one of all the speeches he has made since he crossed over that can move people's hearts. Anyone who has gone through the ups and downs of the February Revolution cannot fail to admit that the success of the revolution lies not in any political party, but in the awakened masses in Petrograd, and that without their persistence at the most critical juncture, the February Revolution would probably be a rehash of the 1905 revolution.
The applause rang out, and even those who disagreed with Li Xiaofeng's radical ideas had to cheer for him, especially Jia Yulaofu, who was blushing just now, and he slapped it extremely hard.
Mistake, this was Kamenev's first thought, and the roaring applause was like a loud slap in the face, hurting in his heart. But he didn't know how to fight back, he wanted to question it, but the attitude of the crowd around him reminded him that firing on this topic was to offend the anger of the public.
Of course, as an orator and a politician, he will come to the trick of avoiding the important and ignoring the trick of changing the topic.
"Alright! Little comrade, even if what you say is true, but the present Provisional Government has made no mistake and is not opposed to the revolution, what reason do we have to question such an enlightened government that Russia has never had, and what reason do we have to overthrow it? Blindly adventurous, the people will not be able to forgive us! ”
"A bunch of counter-revolutionary lackeys, you still say they are enlightened!" Li Xiaofeng laughed, he pointed to the workers and soldiers marching on the street, and suddenly asked, "Do you know what they are marching for?" ”
Kamenev, of course, knew that the reason for the march was nothing more than the Provisional Government's refusal to introduce an eight-hour day and to negotiate an immediate end to the war with the Germans, which he really did not care.
"I think this is the workers and soldiers making trouble, at the critical moment of the war, everyone should do their best for the motherland, the workers do not work, the soldiers do not fight, is this reasonable!"
"Of course it makes sense!" Li Xiaofeng pushed back without giving an inch, "Comrade Lenin pointed out sharply at the Zimmerwald Conference that this is an evil war of imperialist nature and a great internal struggle of imperialism!" What is wrong with the workers and soldiers fighting for peace against this evil imperialist war! ”
Kamenev finally became angry, and he roared: "The February Revolution has been successful, and the Tsar's empire has come to an end. But the evil Germans are still attacking us, and this war is no longer of an imperialist nature, but a patriotic war to defend the homeland and the country! ”…,
After the February Revolution, both the Mensheviks and the Bolsheviks wavered in their determination of the nature of the war, and many believed that with the success of the revolution, the war turned into a patriotic war, identifying the Germans as aggressors, artificially dividing a continuous war into two parts, the first half being unjust and the second half defending the country.
Actually? Isn't this nonsense, it's still those people who are fighting, and the meaning of changing a signboard is different? Selling dog meat on a sheep's head is nothing more than that, right? What's more, this provisional government did not think about peace at all, and promised the "allies" to continue the war early on, what is the difference between this and the tsarist era? It's just a patriotic slogan that was originally shouted 10,000 times in the tsarist era, and then shouted the 10,000th and 11st time. Expecting to bluff people with this set of tricks, is it really treating ordinary people as mentally retarded and brain-dead?
Therefore, Li Xiaofeng mercilessly pointed out the flaws: "If the Provisional Government sends a peace note to the Germans and does not get a response, you can say that it is self-defense, but is this the case now?" I do not see in the slightest sign of any peaceful inclination on the part of the Interim Government, nor do I see any substantial efforts on their part to bring peace and an end to the war. On the contrary, what do I see is that whether it is the so-called Prime Minister Lvov, or the Minister of the Army and the Navy Guchkov, or the Minister of Foreign Affairs Milyukov, what are these three gentlemen clamoring for? Is it peace or war? Is this what you call a change in the nature of war? ”
Kamenev's face was red and blue, as if he was on the verge of madness, and he almost gritted his teeth and said: "I only know that on August 1, 1914, it was the Germans who first declared war on us, and this is naked aggression against our motherland!" No one can deny this! ”
Li Xiaofeng did not back down, and immediately retorted: "I only know that at the Zimmerwald Conference held on September 5, 1915, Comrade Lenin had already defined the nature of this war. Any denial of the spirit of the Zimmerwald Conference is a shameful betrayal! ”
