Lenin's speech is food for thought, at least for the members of the Military Council present here. The mentor was unexpectedly harsh in his criticism of Derbinko, and according to common sense, the mistake of that thing also deserves criticism. There was a rebellion in the Black Sea Fleet, and the People's Commissar of the Navy was still in the dark.

However, criticism is criticism, but the mentor did not take Dembinko in anger, and there was no more expression except criticism. Even the conversation turned back to the Black Sea Fleet rebellion itself, and the implication of the words was a bit suspicious of exculpating the fleet committee.

At this point, the big guy couldn't figure it out at all: Master, what are you going to do, which end is to lift the board high and then gently put it down, all until the point is reached, what are you making a fuss about?

What kind of trouble did Lenin make? He has no way to say that Derbinko is hateful and incompetent, and at one point, the mentor is also quite dissatisfied with his "incompetence". But on the contrary, this goods is still his person, as Korentai's little partner, Debinko can't move casually.

What's more, Debinko was chosen as a representative of advanced sailors, and his prestige in the Baltic Fleet is still quite high. The Baltic Fleet and the Aurora, once symbols of the October Revolution, are now turning their example to the ground and stepping on one foot, a terrible influence.

Therefore, as for the affairs of the navy, the master felt that he could not interfere casually, let alone deny it casually, and he was puzzled and angry at the behavior of a certain immortal who suddenly threw dirty water on the fleet committee.

"Andrey. What exactly does Petrovich want to do? At the end of the meeting, the Mentor angrily confronted Sverdlov.

Don't wait for Xiao Si to answer. He said to himself, "Does he think the current situation is too good?" You can toss it around...... This is to fear that the world will not be chaotic! ”

Sverdlov did not speak. In fact, he didn't know what to say, and he was also very puzzled by Li Xiaofeng's behavior. I haven't heard of anyone having a problem with Durbinko, Kollentai, or the Fleet Council. Moreover, before someone made a move, he didn't notify him at all, and he didn't know what a certain immortal was going to do.

"Send him a telegram, call him, and let him explain immediately what he wants to do!" Lenin trembled with rage.

Sverdlov also smiled bitterly in his heart. However, when the Mentor commanded him, he could only do so. Of course, it is impossible to make a phone call, only to send a telegram. In the telegram, Xiao Sike carefully reminded a certain immortal and advised him to hurry up and rein in the precipice, otherwise the consequences would be unpredictable.

In Sverdlov's mind, with his reminder and the instructions of the Mentor at the previous Military Council, a certain immortal should understand what to do. Not beat around the bush. The mentor has already saved face for someone at the conference, and the investigation of the case is still handed over to a certain immortal. The meaning is very clear, that is, let this cargo quickly clear the suspicion of the fleet committee, quickly turn the big thing into a small one, and don't toss around.

However, Sverdlov did not expect that this time he was wrong, a certain immortal was determined to bring down the stinky fleet committee. Soon, a reply from a certain immortal and a stack of rather thick letters were delivered to Lenin's desk in the Smolny Palace.

When Lenin saw the reply message of a certain immortal, he almost lost his senses. Throughout the text, a certain immortal has no intention of "repenting" at all, but attacks the Fleet Council even more nakedly and obviously, not only firmly pinning all the charges on the head of the Fleet Committee, but also talking about the liberal, anarchic, and bureaucratic tendencies of this body, severely criticizing the counter-revolutionary behavior of this body, and calling for a thorough review of this body to prevent the counter-revolutionary toxin from continuing to spread within the people's army......

"He's going to bombard the headquarters!"

The telegram slammed on his desk, and the tutor glared at Sverdlov fiercely, and the chill in his words was palpable.

For what? The reason is very simple, the reason why Sverdlov sent a telegram to someone before was that the mentor wanted Xiao Si to help someone turn back. And now it is good that someone has not only not turned back, but has become more and more violent, and has turned against the fleet committee more clearly.

The Mentor couldn't help but wonder if this was Sverdlov's collusion with someone, maybe this was forcing Kollontai to take sides? Based on this suspicion, he inevitably has an opinion about Xiao Si - this is how you kid works?

Xiao Si was just crying out, he did it exactly according to the will of the mentor, but who would have thought that a certain immortal who had always been very clever would make such a low-level mistake, it shouldn't be!

Xiao Si Zhilu said that everything he said now was empty, and he was unwilling to carry this inexplicable black cauldron, so he immediately found the telegram archive for the tutor to see, which should be able to prove his innocence!

After reading the telegram sent by Xiao Si to a certain immortal, Lenin's face softened a little, and Xiao Si in the telegram was almost very fruitful, and a fool could see what this meant. And on the contrary, this time someone actually behaved more stupid than a fool, which is a problem!

Lenin sat back in his chair and began to ponder, and it was now clear that someone was going to the Fleet Committee, and for this reason he did not hesitate to defy the hints of the Central Committee, which is very intriguing!

There are only two possibilities. First, the situation of the Black Sea Fleet is even worse than imagined, and it is possible that even someone will not be able to fully control the situation, and it is necessary to use the heads of the fleet committee to calm the anger of the sailors.

This was a possibility, but Lenin considered it unlikely, and it can be seen from someone's telegram that he was already in control of the situation. In this case, there is no need to put the fleet committee to the death, this is not scientific.

The second possibility, I am afraid that someone is a drunkard who does not mean to drink, and the ultimate target of his attack is most likely not the Fleet Committee, nor Debinko and Kolentai, is someone going to give Trotsky a little color?

However, Lenin did not think that this possibility was high. Although Trotsky was the chairman of the Supreme Military Council and was indeed responsible for the rebellion within the army, there was a Dembenko in it. There are major problems with the fleet commission. In any case, it is Debinko who carries a big black cauldron. Trotsky was at most on the sidelines.

Thinking about it, Lenin didn't have a clue. I could only continue to flip through the materials sent by someone, and in another brown paper bag was a large stack of letters, which, judging by the scribbled handwriting and erroneous grammar, seemed to be the handwriting of a sailor who did not understand the ink and write.

Lenin carefully read the letters from the sailors one by one, and gradually, he frowned and showed a solemn expression.

"Come and see!" Lenin suddenly commanded Sverdlov and Stalin.

Lenin pointed to a large stack of letters and said: "These are letters from the sailors of the Black Sea Fleet. Most of them are addressed to Comrade Andrei, you also see, is this true? ”

Sverdlov flipped through the letters, most of which were accusing the Fleet Council of its crimes, and between the lines they meant to punish the Fleet Council severely. Xiao Si believed that this was someone using this to put pressure on the central government, or to prove that he was completely impartial in dealing with the Fleet Committee.

To tell the truth, it is difficult to say whether such a means is useful or not. It is even quite possible to anger Lenin, which in his opinion is gambling anyway. And he didn't think it was worth the gamble.

"It's shocking!" Unexpectedly, Stalin spoke first. And it turned out to be a good word for someone, which is so unexpected.

Iron and Steel said solemnly: "After reading the letters from these sailor comrades, I realized that there is such a big problem in the Black Sea Fleet...... The infiltration of the counter-revolutionaries is simply too rampant, and I think it is right to take the necessary action! ”

Not only was it a surprise to Si, but also to Lenin, who, in his opinion, even if these letters were true, there was absolutely no need for Stalin to say good things about someone, and even thank God for not falling into the ground. What's going on today?

No wonder Lenin was surprised, Stalin really couldn't guess the little bit in his heart for the time being. What should steel say good things about someone? The reason is simple, because he had also been instigating Voroshilov to carry out a rebellion, and it was entirely against Trotsky. Now someone is also rebelling in the Black Sea Fleet, what does this mean?

It shows that the problem in Ukraine is quite serious, and it shows that the suppression is reasonable! Stalin's biggest fear before was to be detained with a hat to eliminate dissidents, and now that someone is asking for a killing spree in Ukraine, doesn't it tell the story? If a certain immortal can be washed and ashore, then the same can be washed and ashore by Voroshilov!

Stalin felt that this was a good opportunity, and for the first time felt that someone was not so hateful, and even that they were not completely devoid of a common language. In Steel's opinion, the reason why a certain immortal wanted to shout and kill the fleet committee was for only one purpose - to point the sword against Trotsky.

Even Iron and Steel felt that someone's step was quite beautiful, and he was suspected of killing two birds with one stone, and he could squeeze Trotsky, continue to snatch the military discourse for the Leninists, and he could also beat Debinko and Kolentai so hard that they did not dare to think otherwise.

To tell the truth, Steel didn't feel good about Colonte, he always felt that this woman was too ambitious, and after the October Revolution, it was impossible to rely on the fact that he had supported the Mentor. If she is allowed to develop at will, she may have to run out and compete with them for a place at any time.

Stalin had no objection to Trotsky or Korentai, the former being the greatest enemy of the Leninists, and the latter not very peaceful, and had to be given a little color.

How else to say that there are only eternal interests in politics, and there are no permanent enemies. Although Stalin and Xiao Si did not deal with each other, but with the presence of the mentor, he could only deal with Trotsky. And in order to consolidate his position, in order to eliminate those potential threat factors within the faction, he doesn't mind joining forces with Xiao Si to suppress Colontai - it is enough for the mentor to have a right hand, and there is no need to have a third hand!

It can only be said that Trotsky and Kollontai were shot while lying down, and Li Xiaofeng did not intend to trouble them, he just wanted to eliminate the discordant factors within the Red Army, and not to allow certain forces to become too big. For example, the political position of the Red Navy, especially the Baltic Fleet, was too prominent after the October Revolution.

For a time, the Red Navy formed a small circle, and under the leadership of the fleet committee, it could not penetrate the water without pricking the needle, and it was very independent and carefree. This is not a good thing, because it means that no one is a bird except those whom they approve of.

Historically, the Black Sea Fleet was very dragged, for example, on April 29, 1918, it received an order from the central government to break through from Sevastopol, and there were not many ships that actually carried out this order. A considerable part of the ships remained in place in Sevastopol. Surrendered to the Germans as a prisoner. Later, there were even capital ships that defied Lenin's order to sink and returned to Sevastopol.

And the sailors dared to do it. It is nothing more than the support of the Fleet Council, as the leaders elected by the sailors, they are naturally more inclined to defend the interests of the sailors, even if at some point the interests of the sailors are contrary to the interests of the whole.

For example, in the Battle of Petrograd in 1919, some senior officers of the Baltic Fleet at that time demanded to take the initiative to attack, compare with the British, and counter the arrogance of the British from the sea. However, the Fleet Council categorically rejected this suggestion and chose not to move. As a result, the capital ship Marat was almost attacked and sunk by a British torpedo boat.

Why would the Fleet Council choose to stand still? To put it mildly, they are afraid of the enemy, they do not have the courage and confidence to confront the British Royal Navy, and are willing to be an existing fleet.

That's not all, there were even some people in the Baltic Fleet at that time who came together with the White Army and acted as Yudenich's internal response and pawns. Do you think this is still the great fleet that responded to the revolution with the red flag held high in the October Revolution?

If it had not been for Trotsky personally going to Petrograd, leading the Red Army in Petrograd to defeat Yudenich. I am afraid that on the day of the fall of Petrograd, this great fleet, which had contributed to the October Revolution, would either be captured by Yudenich and the British, or the tragedy of the Black Sea Fleet would be repeated again.

Li Xiaofeng does not trust the navy. This force is too independent, for the sake of the fleet itself. They will even disobey the orders of the central government. It is very necessary to crack down on their free and loose habits, and we must make them understand that it is the party that commands the gun, not the gun that commands the party!

And the core of the fleet's casual disobedience to command is the fleet council, and although democracy in the military does seem to be beautiful, it is very likely that these democratically elected leaders are more concerned with the interests of small groups. When the interests of a small group conflict with the interests of the country as a whole, and part of their interests are sacrificed, it will immediately explode.

The simplest and most effective way is to eradicate this small group in one fell swoop when it has not yet formed a climate, and only by truly integrating the Red Navy into the overall command system of the Red Army, instead of the Central Committee or the Military Council issuing orders to the Fleet Committee, and then it can only be implemented after the Fleet Council has discussed and voted on it. On the next gram, I really will play with fire.

All in all, Li Xiaofeng's handling of the Fleet Committee was generally out of public interest, and if the Navy was allowed to continue to follow the old path in history, sooner or later it would anger the Mentor, and then it would not be the short-term pain it is now.

However, the painstaking efforts of a certain immortal, the tutor may not understand it now, and to put it bluntly, a certain immortal is really a bit like a-stirring stick, where something happens, and the matter is not small. Especially in this case, the Mentor thinks that this product is purely a toss-up.

However, the sailor's letter touched the tutor to a certain extent, not that the tutor was moved by the sailor's unreasonable but affectionate words, but that the tutor's gaze touched the things behind the letter.

During the October Revolution, after the October Revolution, the instructors read many similar letters, including those of sailors, army soldiers, and ordinary people, and at that time they were accused of the old bureaucracy or the old officers. At that time, they also wrote letters in this gnashing tone, and it can even be said that the personal pronouns were slightly changed, and there was no essential difference between the letters of the two periods.

Why did this kind of egg pain and embarrassment happen? Why are the sailors who, months ago, were loudly cheering and applauding their elected representatives, and now gritting their teeth and demanding that they be hanged? That's just the turning point of God, isn't it?

Lenin did not like this turn, but he was more concerned with the meaning behind it. He did not believe that the Fleet Committee had lost all its conscience and sins. It is quite possible that it will not be the fleet council that will change, but those most ordinary soldiers.

They are too easily instigated, too easily dissatisfied, and in today's terms, they live in their dreams. When there is a split and gap between dreams and reality, they will not reflect on themselves and wonder if the dream is too naïve. They will only target those who can't help them realize their dreams, and use the simplest means to reforge their dreams - that is, to replace them with new people.

I have to say that this is a strange circle, and if you don't get it right, you will form a dead loop. Even, with people with ulterior motives mastering this law, it is entirely possible to impress people with beautiful slogans, and then do the exact opposite.

And this possibility is what the mentor is most worried about, Li Xiaofeng, a person who has just gone to the Black Sea Fleet, can easily get the great support of the sailors. In the same way, can counter-revolutionaries with ulterior motives also draw on the gourd? It is entirely possible if they take advantage of the impetuous psychology of the sailors to elect to power, and then turn their guns on the Bolsheviks and Soviets.

It has to be said that in this respect, the Fleet Council is a real pain in the coffin, its elections are completely uncontrolled, and today the sailors can bring the Bolshevik deputies to power, and tomorrow they can also remove them.

The Mentor somewhat understood what a certain immortal wanted to do, and in fact, the past few months in power had also made him begin to revise some of his previous opinions. In the initial stage of the revolution, democratic centralism may have to emphasize centralism first, and if it is too democratic, it will become liberalism and anarchism.

Thinking of this, Lenin was a little embarrassed, it was inappropriate to deny the fleet committee, and people are still an example, but it is not okay to leave it alone, it is difficult...... (To be continued......)
