What kind of choice did Li Xiaofeng make? Will he compromise with Trotsky, or will he sit back and watch Tukhachevsky beat the reservoir dogs and clean up the mess after his death?

To tell the truth, it is not surprising that he chose which path he chose, and no one will remain calm in the face of such absolute political interests. But no matter which path Li Xiaofeng chooses, he has the initiative.

While the entire Soviet political arena was anxiously waiting, Li Xiaofeng made a choice, and he chose not to tolerate Tukhachevsky anymore. At the new regular meeting of the Central Military Commission, he put forward the idea of dismissing the chief of the General Staff.

At that moment, the entire Soviet political scene breathed a sigh of relief, not that the big guys were happy with the result, and they were happy to see Tukhachevsky's jokes. For these actors in Soviet politics, it's good to have results, at least they know how to take sides.

Of course, the easiest thing is the Trotskyist group of difficult brothers. Ulitsky almost cried tears of joy, he put his arms around Trotsky excitedly, and said in ecstasy: "We have succeeded, we have succeeded!" ”

However, to Ulitsky's surprise, Trotsky did not have the expected ecstasy, but seemed a little lonely, as if this was bad news for him.

"What's wrong with you? Aren't you happy? Raddic asked.

Trotsky shook his head heavily, and then nodded again, making it hard to understand whether he was happy or unhappy. In fact, Trotsky's mood at this time was best known only to himself, and he was glad that the Trotskyists had more room to breathe, but he was indeed extremely disappointed and lonely in his own choice.

Why was Trotsky's mood so complicated? That has to start with his opinion of Li Xiaofeng. All this time, Trotsky did not particularly look down on a certain immortal. He always thought that a certain immortal was a courtier. He is a careerist in the party. He was the most dangerous figure in the Leninites after Stalin. He even thinks that Li Xiaofeng is a pseudo-Bolshevik, and if he has that ability, he must sweep someone out of the house.

In Trotsky's imagination, Li Xiaofeng, as a hypocrite and a vile villain, would never sacrifice his personal interests for the sake of the Soviet Union, so he thought that in the end this time someone would do nothing but sit back and watch Tukhachevsky command blindly, and then use this to violently attack the Trotskyists to gain prestige.

Trotsky thought he had completely seen through a certain immortal, so. He had been waiting for an immortal to show his ugly face, and he thought he was absolutely right!

But the result? The result was a blow to Trotsky, who, though a little entangled, did hit the brakes before the worst could come. This shows that Trotsky's previous judgments and predictions were all wrong!

Tell me, how hard did this hit Trotsky? You must know that Trotsky was quite confident in his own judgment, and he always thought that he was right and everyone else was wrong. But this time it was his turn to be wrong, and he looked away, which was no less than an eight-magnitude earthquake for him who was extremely proud and confident. You feel at this moment. Will he be happy?

Of course, Trotsky's displeasure belonged to his inner tangle. Since he participated in the revolution, he has been a tangled person, he has been tangled all his life, and it is nothing to be tangled up one more time.

It's just that after learning the news, it was not only Trotsky who was entangled, but Sverdlov was also entangled. Like Trotsky, he had judged that Li Xiaofeng would not sacrifice his own interests to take care of the overall situation. In any case, he has already prepared a comprehensive countermeasure, and once such a situation arises, he will openly or implicitly criticize someone's poor view of the overall situation, and if he wants to vigorously grasp this point and make a fuss, he must bring the centrists of the Leninists back to his side.

But now? Li Xiaofeng, who has always been a petty family, will take care of the overall situation, and even choose to sacrifice himself for the sake of the overall situation, you have taken the wrong script! Anyway, Sverdlov suddenly cooled down and said that he was selfish? Can't you still act happily!

What else does Xiao Si do now? How else to use the topic to play? Isn't this a pitfall!

Of course, there are also many guys who are not politically wise enough to help Xiao Si with advice, such as his own cousin Yagoda, who thought of a crooked trick as soon as his eyes rolled: "What if he compromised with Trotsky?" Isn't this sacrificing the collective interests of our Leninists to take care of his honor? How can the Trotskyists be indulged? Shouldn't this kind of selfish behavior be condemned and condemned? ”

Originally, Yagoda should have said these words more and more vigorously, and it was better to urge people to urinate impassionedly, but when this person said this, it was like a deflated ball, and his voice was getting smaller and smaller.

There was only one reason, Sverdlov looked at him with an idiot and a fool's eye, as if to say, "You're funny!" ”

Yagoda is indeed sick in the brain, although the phrase fairness is in the hearts of the people may not be useful in the political arena, but those who are mixed in the political arena are not stupid, and everyone is smart, so everyone's judgment on this kind of issue is enough. Almost all members and alternate members of the Central Committee believed that Li Xiaofeng had sacrificed some of his personal interests for the benefit of the Soviet Union. Although this kind of behavior is a bit silly, as the core leadership of the Soviet Union, is this kind of big-picture view unnecessary?

At least the big guys know that a certain immortal is worthy of the title of Bolshevik on major issues of right and wrong, and can hold the helm, and this kind of leadership leads us at least to reassure us. If your leader is a small-bellied chicken intestine who calculates and doesn't eat at all, who dares to mess with him! Maybe one day you will give up the interests of the authorities, and who will you cry to at that time?

And Li Xiaofeng is problematic precisely at this point, leaving the impression of "mercenary" to many party members, let mercenary people be the core leaders, who can't tremble! Now, Li Xiaofeng has told the whole party with practical actions that I am not profit-seeking, and that I am ethical on principled issues of major issues of right and wrong, and I am not afraid of sacrificing some personal interests.

This is the effect of buying horse bones, so when Li Xiaofeng made this sacrifice, his reputation in the party must have improved greatly. At least I won't attack him again with not being principled enough. However, Yagoda attacked Li Xiaofeng at this time and did not safeguard the overall interests. Isn't Nima dead?

If even Li Xiaofeng is like this, it does not protect the overall interests. How else is that big guy messing around? What's more, Sverdlov knew very well that Lenin was still alive, and the mentor hoped that Li Xiaofeng would make such a choice, and if you dared to attack Li Xiaofeng at this time, then the mentor would spare you?

Sverdlov began to doubt Yakolda's political vision and political wisdom, and even did such a stupid thing, I'm afraid you will die in the future, right? And the political bigwigs hate this kind of trick to death the most, although Xiao Si has not given up on Yakoda for the time being. But the weight of this cousin in his mind was greatly reduced.

So who was the happiest person in the USSR? Obviously, naturally, it was Lenin. You must know that since his retirement in 1935, Lenin's heart hung in the air, and he feared that Trotsky would not be able to control the scene, and that Stalin and Sverdlov were going down the wrong path. Especially after Stalin chose to die, the Mentor was always afraid, he was really afraid that he would wake up and hear the news that Trotsky or Sverdlov had been defeated. After the outbreak of the Great Patriotic War, Lenin was almost sleepless at night, and at one point he needed to take a quick-acting heart pill, which was really a high degree of nervous tension. It's almost going to fall apart.

And this time, Li Xiaofeng unexpectedly chose to take care of the overall situation. This made Lenin unusually happy, and sitting on the special train, he patted the bed and laughed: "Andrey. Petrovich really didn't disappoint me! ”

According to the recollections of Krupskaya and the staff around her mentor, from that day on, the nervous breakdown, insomnia and depression that plagued Lenin were greatly alleviated, which also allowed Lenin, who was almost exhausted by the oil lamp, to survive until the day of victory.

Lenin was so relieved that from the thirties he had been worried about his successor and about the split in the party, in his words, because there were too many struggles within the party and not enough unity. It is not right for a political party to have only one voice within it, which means rigidity, dictatorship and corruption. But it is also wrong for one party and two voices to be in unprecedented opposition to each other, which means breaking up. How the Russian Social Democratic Labour Party became a Bolshevik and a Menshevik is not because the internal controversy and struggle were too fierce, and in the end it became a passerby and an enemy.

In the thirties, at the height of the controversy and struggle within the party, Lenin was really worried that as soon as he withdrew, the party would dissolve. The reason was that he felt that Stalin and Sverdlov were flawed in the big picture and were not enough to take the helm, so he chose Trotsky.

And it turns out that Lenin's fears were justified, the Soviet political arena before the Great Patriotic War was simply full of gunsmoke, Leninists and Trotskyists were fighting to the death, if it were not for his life, if it were not for Trotsky, he would still be able to take care of the overall situation. I'm afraid the situation is not optimistic.

At that time, Lenin's greatest fear was that Trotsky would retreat, what should he do? The contradiction between Sverdlov and Li Xiaofeng has been highlighted, and Li Xiaofeng has always been known for his small belly, and the scene of spoofing Kamenev and Zinoviev back then is still clearly presented in front of the mentor. What happened to the Soviet Union and the United Communist Party after a complete falling out with someone?

Anyway, the mentor was scared when he thought about it, but now, it turns out that in order to maintain the overall situation, Li Xiaofeng is willing to compromise and retreat, and Lenin is naturally relieved. The future is not far from the worst, at least without worrying about Sverdlov falling out with someone completely.

Of course, the most important thing is that Lenin finally discovered that a certain immortal is like a politician, and he must have a plan not for small profits. Only those who have great ambitions will choose to endure.

So is this really the case with Li Xiaofeng? Not exactly. Li Xiaofeng really didn't want to let it go at first, in his opinion, Trotsky was just unreasonable, just didn't take care of the overall situation, your Tukhachevsky died again, this is to trap the Red Army, why don't you care? Is there a bit of a core leader?

At that time, Li Xiaofeng really had the heart to wait to the end to see who couldn't hold it first. But when he came home and saw his wife and children, his thoughts were relieved. Pity the hearts of parents all over the world, he sat back and watched to the end, and in the end it was only thousands of parents and children in the Soviet Union who were pitied. As an immortal with discipline, isn't the reason why he can cross is to be pitted by those goods who have no discipline? If he is like those guys now, what right does he have to rebuke others? Fifty steps and a hundred steps of laughter are the most boring.

After calming down a little, Li Xiaofeng carefully sorted out the gains and losses. Even if he had to give up his profits to Trotsky, he still had a considerable advantage in the Military Commission. It can even be said to be an absolute advantage. In the future, it will still be him who will lead the Military Commission. And not Trotsky or Sverdlov, such a loss was nothing to him.

That is, he can afford the loss. Why be so aggressive when you still have a considerable advantage? Is there an essential difference between a 51% advantage and a 99% advantage? Not to mention the fact that conceding a step against Trotsky is not yet a 51% advantage, so why shed so much blood in vain?

After figuring this out, Li Xiaofeng suddenly became enlightened, which is similar to the nuclear strategy of the United States and the Soviet Union during the Cold War. It is not enough to have the advantage of destroying the world once, it will take ten and a hundred times, and in the end, neither of the two can afford such a huge arsenal of nuclear weapons, and they can still only compromise.

In the next five to ten years, Li Xiaofeng estimates that he will not be able to become a political leader, Sverdlov will have to work for five years, and he will not be able to seize power in 1945, right? From 1945 to 1950, Xiao Si must have been in charge, so he can't be more powerful than the first-in-command, right? It is estimated that no one can stand it, since accepting Xiao Si as the core leader is a compromise, so how bad can it be to compromise with the Trotskyists a little?

And he felt that he had reached a compromise with Lao Tuo this time. It also had certain benefits for Xiao Si during his reign, easing relations with the Trotskyists. Avoid the Trotskyists and Xiao Si working together against him. Isn't the art of politics to unite the majority against a minority? Not to mention uniting the Trotskyists, there is no harm in easing relations with the Trotskyists a little, right?

Li Xiaofeng thought so and did so, and on a summer afternoon he met with Trotsky and had an in-depth exchange of views on issues of mutual interest.

"Comrade Mikhail is no longer fit to continue to hold the post of Chief of the General Staff," Li Xiaofeng said directly to the point, "I think Comrade Ubolevich is very suitable to take over his work!" ”

Li Xiaofeng's straightforwardness made Ulitsky quite unaccustomed to it, he thought that the two sides would play tricks and deceit, and it would take more than a dozen rounds of open and secret battles to reach an agreement. Now this way of unfolding really doesn't look like a political bigwig, it's more direct than buying side dishes. Is this appropriate?

Trotsky thought it was appropriate, and even thought that this was the style that only political bigwigs should have, and was it necessary to talk nonsense for a long time and try to test for a long time? Anyway, everyone knows what's going on, what are you doing with those Piri Yangqiu!

So Trotsky was also very polite: "Then who do you think is suitable to take over the work of Comrade Ubolevich?" ”

What Trotsky meant was: "You have taken the Chief of the General Staff, and you have to give me the Chief of the General Armament, right?" ”

It is said that this is already very straightforward, but Li Xiaofeng thinks that Lao Tuo is still weak and domineering, if it is a mentor, he will say categorically at this time: "I think so-and-so is very suitable to take over from Ubolevich as the head of the General Armament Department!" ”

Many times Lao Tuo still lacks such a little domineering, so he seems a little bit of a nest in his life, he can't fight Lenin, and even Lenin's younger brother Stalin, he lacks this bit of domineering and gangsterism in his life.

If Lao Tuo had just said directly that I wanted so-and-so to be the head of the General Armament Department, Li Xiaofeng would not have gotten along with him. And at this time, Lao Tuo actually discussed in an inquiring tone, so Li Xiaofeng would not give him this face. This is what you asked on the pole, so am I afraid to answer? As for letting Li Xiaofeng push the boat down the river and propose a candidate who suits Trotsky's wishes, I'm sorry, our master is not so cheap!

So Li Xiaofeng's answer was: "I think Comrade Trianda Filov is very suitable!" ”

These words almost made Trotsky angry, and as for Ulitsky and Radek on the side, their eyes were really staring out—what do you mean? According to what you said, you have single-handedly rounded up the Central Military Commission, and the General Staff Headquarters, the General Armament, and the General Political Department are all your people, and you will directly put our Trotskyists aside. You kid, you're not here to negotiate, you're here to smash the field, right?

Trotsky didn't think so, he knew very well that Li Xiaofeng had indeed come to negotiate, and that he had just made a mistake. Lao Tuo always looked at Li Xiaofeng as an elder, thinking that if he mentioned it, someone would be submissive. Who knew that a certain immortal had a temper, and he would not be able to get off the stage in minutes!

Fortunately, Lao Tuo corrected it quickly, and he hurriedly said: "No, the Minsk Military District in charge of Comrade Trianda Filov has a heavy responsibility, and only a steady and reliable veteran comrade like him is at the helm, and the Central Committee can rest assured." At this critical moment, it would be more appropriate for him to remain in Minsk! ”

Speaking of this, Trotsky paused deliberately, to the meaning: Now it's time for you Li Xiaofeng to speak, this time you have to say what I want, right?

Hehe, Li Xiaofeng is a stubborn donkey, and if he doesn't touch his fur and lead him and don't go, he will go backwards, expecting him to speak according to Trotsky's will, unless he is possessed by Xiaobai.

Therefore, Li Xiaofeng didn't say anything, just looked at Trotsky with his chin held high, and only snorted for a while: "But I think there is no other comrade more suitable than Comrade Triandafilov for the time being!" ”

Trotsky was so angry, he did not expect someone to be so faceless, and he insisted on saying who he wanted. After a moment of silence, wrapped in a flame, he said heavily: "I think Comrade Bubnov is very suitable!" (To be continued.) )
