13 All Bastards (Part II)
I have to say that Mikoyan has an axe in his class, and he knows more about Lenin's temper Trotsky, otherwise, if Lenin was really a face-saving person like Stalin, Lao Toin would not have used Lysenko as a breakthrough.
And it is precisely because Trotsky knew that Lenin was not that kind of person, on the contrary, Lenin was not as good as Stalin, and he was also very aware of the basic law that objective laws do not depend on the will of the individual, and that even if he could fool Lysenko for a while, he could not fool him forever. Sooner or later, this question will be turned over and revisited, and then he will be even more faceless.
So, Lenin, though a little entangled and waxy, was clearly not going to do what Stalin did. Isn't it just a little faceless, he can bear it!
So Shao Wumian was tragic, and was reprimanded by Lenin: "Comrade Shao Wumian, what did you say? Questioning and dissenting opinions are allowed on scientific issues, and this is an inevitable process of scientific exploration. Whether in the natural sciences or the social sciences, a reasonable argument is always beneficial. As a well-known agriculturist in our country, Professor Vavilov has made a lot of achievements in this area, and if he had not found a problem, how could he have contributed to Pravda? β
"Even if we don't know if Professor Vavilov's opinion is correct for a while, it doesn't hurt to listen to it, right? How can you go online and buckle your hat? Is this an act of respecting knowledge and objective laws? β
Shao Wumian's eyes widened, Mikoyan didn't tell him that before he came, so that he didn't know how to answer Lenin's question now.
At this time, Trotsky was secretly laughing in his heart. QiΔ was not much different from what he expected. Even better than he expected. After all, he did not expect Shao Wumian and Stalin to make such a low-level mistake. Lenin was not even informed. This gave him a lot of room to play, and if he did it properly, he would have made Stalin a disgraced man.
Of course, Trotsky was happy, but he did not mean anything complacent, because at this time there was another person in the office that he did not expectβLi Xiaofeng. Trotsky had fought with someone so many times, and had hardly taken any advantage, and this kid had to be guarded against at this time.
Trotsky had been observing Li Xiaofeng's expression with his peripheral eyes. But what surprised him a little was that this person didn't seem to have the slightest intention of relieving Shao Wumian? If Trotsky had not been brought down by someone who had joined forces with Stalin, he would have really thought that someone was not in the same league as Stalin.
Trotsky knew very well that Li Xiaofeng and Stalin were now in the same group, but why did this kid pretend to be deaf and dumb and only care about watching jokes? The Lysenko incident can be big or small, and he Trotsky is going to get bigger at this time, if Stalin can't get off the stage, someone won't be happy, there is no reason why this kid will shrink his eggs?
Trotsky was confused by Li Xiaofeng's indifferent attitude, so why is Li Xiaofeng so calm now? The reason is simple. Because this is Lenin's office, if the tutor doesn't know about it. Li Xiaofeng had to stand in the way of reason, and could not let Trotsky beat Stalin to death with a stick. And now this is clearly not the case, Lenin already knew, and it was clear that the teacher had already decided, why did he stop Stalin at this time?
You must know that the relationship between Li Xiaofeng and Stalin is not a pair of pants, but a cooperative relationship between each and the need. Li Xiaofeng didn't owe Stalin anything, there was no need to work hard to prevent disasters for that goods, and he wouldn't be grateful to him if he blocked that goods.
This is the fundamental reason why Li Xiaofeng did not speak out, and the second reason is that Li Xiaofeng felt that this matter was far from being as big as Trotsky thought, and I have to say that although Lao Tuo had guessed Lenin's mind, he had not yet understood the true temperament of his mentor. The Mentor, though he did not care about the slightest question of face, would not allow Trotsky to fix Stalin and slap him in the face.
Lenin was not a fool, how could he not guess the real reason for Trotsky's sudden attack on the Lysenko question. I'm afraid that Lenin is like a mirror in his heart, and while teaching Shao Wumian a lesson, he has already made full preparations to deal with it. The outcome of this matter would certainly not have been so satisfactory to Trotsky!
The facts were not much different from Li Xiaofeng's guess, and soon Lenin changed his tone and continued to teach him: "You have handled the problem of Professor Vavilov very poorly, and it must be corrected. But that's the only thing that makes me very dissatisfied: as the editor-in-chief of Pravda, who gave you the power to reject submissions without consulting the Central Committee? In particular, this manuscript was personally recommended by Comrade Trotsky. Comrade Trotsky's recommended manuscript, even if you don't like it or agree with it, you must submit it to the Politburo for review, right? And how did you do it, to be unreasonable and repeatedly vetoed, and then to disappear when Comrade Trotsky asked to discuss the matter with you personally? Where did you go? And why go? Could it be that the comrades of the Politburo are so unworthy of mention to you, I think you are extremely dissatisfied with the Politburo, and you are preparing to openly rebel against us Politburo members! β
Shao Wumian came down in a cold sweat, and at this time he realized what he had done wrong, although Lenin had been mentioning the Politburo just now, but fools know that the master was talking about himself, and he hated Shao Wumian for hiding from him, and this nature was too bad.
Shao Wu tried to explain something, but Lenin didn't give him a chance to speak, pointed to the door of his office, and shouted angrily: "You go out now to reflect on it, write a profound review, and explain why you are so disregarding the authority of the Politburo." Explain your thoughts thoroughly at the time and review all the problems clearly...... When the review is in place, when will you get back to work! β
It seems that Shao Wumian was taught a bad lesson, but Li Xiaofeng next to him laughed in his heart, Lenin's wrist is really smart. The heavy reprimand of Shao Wumian seemed to have helped Trotsky to breathe a bad breath, but was it Shao Wumian that Trotsky wanted to teach a lesson? From the very beginning, Lao To's goal was Stalin, and he wanted to use the topic to play.
Lenin, on the other hand, was very clever in avoiding the important and lightly, and scolded Shao Wumian a few times on the issue of Lysenko and Vavilov. Then it was lifted high and gently fell. Just ignore this stubble. Instead, he lashed out on a minor issue. This hand is just too high!
Even Trotsky was dumbfounded, a little puzzled by how Lenin had fooled things over. What he really wants is not this result, and he is really not convinced!
"Comrade Lenin, then Lysenko ......"
Trotsky had just begun when Lenin interrupted him: "Let the affairs of science be left to the scientists!" The truth cannot be tampered with, let the facts speak for themselves! β
Lenin's statement was in fact a death sentence for Lysenko, and it could be regarded as an explanation to Trotsky. Trotsky, however, was not satisfied, he just held back to make a big deal about it. And then defeat Stalin in one go, as long as Stalin collapses, his succession can be said to be a matter of course, how can such a good opportunity be fooled by Lenin.
Trotsky immediately replied: "Is this not right? I believe that there are now a large number of pseudo-scientific swindlers who swagger and deceive under the guise of science in our country's production and life, and these swindlers are extremely dangerous to China's socialist construction, and we have quite a few comrades who are constantly fueling the fire, whether out of lack of self-cultivation or in an attempt to take advantage of this unhealthy trend to achieve their ulterior motives...... Such a trend must be killed, and it is necessary to carry out a rectification campaign! β
Lenin looked at Trotsky coldly, and his expression was cold. Also upset, so after Trotsky had finished speaking. The Mentor just said lightly, "It's too alarmist, I don't think it's necessary to carry out such a campaign!" β
Trotsky was stunned at first, then a little annoyed, and said reluctantly: "Comrade Lenin, how can you turn a deaf ear to this unhealthy trend? This ......"
Lenin interrupted him again: "Comrade Trotsky, if you feel the need to carry out such a campaign, then you can raise it at the plenary session of the Politburo or the Central Committee, and if the comrades agree with you, then carry it out, otherwise there is no need." That's my opinion! β
Trotsky was speechless, for neither the Politburo nor the Central Committee could have communicated his mention in Lenin's opposition. It was only then that he suddenly remembered who the Bolsheviks were in charge of now. Even if he is above ten thousand people under one person, without the nod of the only person above, it is impossible to implement his opinions and ideas.
To tell you the truth, this annoyed and frustrated Trotsky. He was once on a par with Lenin, but now he is only subordinate to Lenin. This is a big blow to him, who has always been very proud.
Trotsky went away with reluctance and dissatisfaction, and when he closed the door, Lenin, who had always kept a cold face, revealed his true feelings.
"Bastard!"
The tutor slapped the table hard, showing that he was not satisfied with the result. Then why was Lenin not satisfied? Didn't he crush Trotsky's "conspiracy"? Isn't that something to be happy about?
Lenin just thought that this was not worth rejoicing at all, and he angrily scolded: "None of them are uneasy, all of them are bastards!" β
Note that the word is important, and it is clear that it was not only Trotsky who was dissatisfied with him. I am afraid that it also includes Shao Wumian, who was forced to write a review, and Stalin, who was hidden behind Shao Wumian.
Lenin was extremely dissatisfied with Shao Wumian's appearance, he was still in his position, and the people below dared not to take him seriously, and began to engage in a small group and a small hill in a bright and bright way. It is conceivable that once he really retreats, won't he have to sweep the snow in front of the door?
Yes, Lenin was very much ready to hand over supreme power, but that doesn't mean he was ready to be forgotten. Shao Wumian's behavior today made the tutor deeply feel the chill and a sense of crisis on his face!
Even those like Shao Wumian and Stalin are like themselves, so what kind of virtue will someone other than Trotsky and Lenin be?
Anyway, Master Mentor didn't dare to think about it at all, he was worried that if he thought deeply in this direction, would he retract the retirement decision he had made before, and would he launch a large-scale campaign to sweep away all these guys who were about to move!
Fortunately, Lenin had not yet lost his mind, and soon he forced himself to calm down, which would not work, and let a person hold the supreme power for a long time. This is definitely not a good thing. The core of power is not renewed. It's not just the younger generation that can't be exercised, and it's not as simple as the day of the future. It will also lead directly to the emergence of another form of dictatorship. In the end, it is inevitable to bring the Soviet Union back to the old ways of Russia, and then a new revolution will once again plunge Russia into turmoil, and the next time it will be so lucky that Russia will be in trouble with its main enemies?
Lenin was not going to gamble on luck, so even if he was angry now, he still firmly believed that he had to retire and that he had to let the transfer of power go smoothly. Then a virtuous circle is formed. So he regained his composure and began to look at what happened today from another angle.
From another point of view, Lenin was also somewhat relieved, although this relief was full of bitterness, but he was indeed relieved. Why are you relieved? It turned out to be a relief for Stalin!
You must know that since the fall of Kamenev and Zinoviev before the October Revolution, although Stalin has become an important assistant to Lenin, the prestige of steel in the party at that time is far from comparable to that of Trotsky. To put it mildly, without him, steel would have been brought to life by Trotsky. Even with Sverdlov, the two were no match for Trotsky.
And only a decade or so. Stalin was able to make Trotsky feel threatened. What does this mean? It shows that the gap between Stalin and Trotsky has been greatly reduced! If Stalin at this time was still the same Stalin of 1917, would Trotsky use such a trick?
Obviously, Stalin had grown up, and Lenin, who had single-handedly promoted Stalin to the core of the party, could not help but feel a sense of accomplishment that the students could already take charge of themselves, even if they were angry. This sense of accomplishment greatly alleviated Lenin's anger and led him to ponder another question: if Stalin and Sverdlov could form a loose alliance, would it be enough to counterbalance Trotsky and prevent Trotsky from being too monopolistic?
Lenin had this in mind before making the decision to retire, but at the time he thought that Stalin and Sverdlov, even if they had grown, would not be enough to completely counterbalance Trotsky in 1935.
Now, Lenin did not think so, and the mere cooperation between Stalin and Sverdlov's younger brother made Trotsky feel like a great enemy and had to use shady tricks. If Stalin and Sverdlov had really been able to align themselves in the general direction, Trotsky would probably not have been able to sleep steadily, right?
Lenin could not help laughing at the thought of Trotsky's entangled expression, and he shook his head, taking a share of what was happening today. It was at this moment that Lenin realized that there was still one person in the office who had not left.
"Andrey, why are you still here?" Lenin asked with some displeasure.
Li Xiaofeng naturally knew why his mentor was unhappy, what Lenin was thinking just now, the truth was all written on his face, and he also saw it really. And the number one is most taboo to be seen through by the people below, and Li Xiaofeng himself is estimated to be annoyed, and it is even possible to be angry. It's not easy for the Mentor to be just a little unhappy.
But Li Xiaofeng feels that he is innocent, he is here to report to his mentor and ask for instructions, about Hitler and the Nazis, your old man has not yet given an explanation! Besides, you didn't let me out just now, you were distracted, can you blame me?
Fortunately, Lenin was quick to react, and it seemed that it was not someone who deliberately did not leave, and that Lenin was not at all at all dissatisfied with someone who was accustomed to necessarily asking for instructions before the events of the repetition. Look at Shao Wumian, if you hide such a big thing from him, someone will be much more liked in comparison.
So Lenin quickly forgot about that little bit of unpleasantness and rethought how to solve someone's problem. But after a little thought, Lenin shook his head, it was a little difficult. As soon as this incident comes out today, the relations between the Leninists and the Trotskyists will inevitably be tense for a while, and discussing national strategic issues at this time is likely to cause misunderstanding and unnecessary trouble, and if it is not done well, it will be another bloody storm.
"Keep track of Hitler and the Nazi Party for the time being, be sure to understand their nature, and let me know if there is a new situation. As for the question of the German Communist Party, let the Comintern come forward to warn Liebknecht and the Luxembourg comrades and make them pay attention. β
Now he can only do this, and Li Xiaofeng is not dissatisfied, but just as he was about to leave, Lenin suddenly stopped him again: "Andrey, in recent times, you should not push too military issues, and leave a certain amount of leeway for Comrade Tukhachevsky, he is the chief of the General Staff after all!" β
Li Xiaofeng pursed his lips and said in his heart: "This is the side effect of the Lysenko incident." Obviously, Lenin still wanted Trotsky to make a transition, otherwise he would not have solemnly admonished him: "Don't push too hard." This is in fact to save face for Trotsky.
And Li Xiaofeng really didn't want to save this face, so he immediately complained: "It's not that I want to deliberately target Comrade Tukhachevsky, but his ideas and ideas are too unreliable, to put it mildly, he is simply fooling around at times." If the Red Army is allowed to toss according to his set, there must be a big problem! β
This made Lenin stunned, because in the past five years, the development of the Red Army has still flourished, from a semi-amateur partisan army to the regular army, especially in mechanization, progress has been remarkable, to be honest, Lenin is quite satisfied, but now Li Xiaofeng said that Tukhachevsky is a blind toss?
Suddenly, Lenin could not sit idly by, and asked very sternly: "Aren't you alarmist?" (To be continued......)
PS: Bow and thank you to Comrade Traveler and Comrade Juventus!
