The reason why Li Xiaofeng supported Lenin to meet the challenge of Kamenev and Zinoviev was not only his trust in the ability of his mentor, but also that Lenin had brought about a fundamental transformation of the Bolsheviks in Petrograd in just over a month, and according to Trotsky's words in his memoirs, it was that one zone after another was attached to Lenin, and the forces of the revolution finally took over.

No matter how much more immortal he is out of thin air, there is no reason why Lenin has done worse than in history, and Li Xiaofeng has no doubt that Lenin can defeat Kamenev and Zinoviev. In addition, those two goods jumped out at this sensitive time, although it was indeed disgusting, they also thought that this was the most difficult opportunity and the best time. However, in Li Xiaofeng's view, the sudden attack of those two goods is indeed bad, but it is not the worst in terms of timing.

In this period of history that Li Xiaofeng traveled, I don't know whether it was because of Shenma, whether it was a German brain cramp or a conscience discovery, in February 1917, he did not start unlimited submarine warfare again. It wasn't until April that the Germans remembered their weapons of murder and resumed hunting the Atlantic. This also indirectly delayed the entry of the United States into the war, and did not declare war on Germany on April 6 in history. So much so that now it's halfway through May, and the Americans haven't moved yet.

Seriously, this made Li Xiaofeng very worried, from April to August, these four months were very crucial for the Bolsheviks and the Russian revolution, and many key events that affected the course of history took place within this interval.

Americans' declaration of war on Germany was a key part of this. Its influence cannot be underestimated. As in history, it happened before Lenin's return in early April, and the impact on the Bolsheviks was much smaller, but now that Lenin had returned home and began to show his strength, it would be a blow to the head if the cold United States suddenly declared war.

This will not only make those centrists who ride on the wall start to swing again, but will also inject a dose of strength into those hardcore right-wing protectors, and if they don't get it right, they will reshuffle the strength of both sides of the struggle.

Li Xiaofeng naturally does not want to see this situation, and what is even more terrifying is that if Kamenev and Zinoviev choose the time when the United States suddenly declares war, the lethality will be even greater. If luck is a little worse. If the time of the Seventh Congress and the United States declares war collides, it will be the end of the world!

Therefore, Li Xiaofeng has always suggested to Lenin that the Seventh National Congress should be held as soon as possible. It can't be delayed any longer, and it will change later! Lenin, of course, agreed with Li Xiaofeng, but the National Congress was held wherever it was said. The tutor also wants to start early, but the problem is that the meeting starts early and he is not ready, so it won't work!

What doesn't work? The reason is not yet clear, don't think that the question of the revolutionary line is solved only when the congress is convened, in fact, the struggle before the congress is called a fierce one, basically the general principles and lines are established before the congress, and the meeting is more of a conveyance and promotion function.

In fact, you can think of it, and the representatives of the whole country gathered together. To be honest, there is not enough time to discuss and resolve the issue of the party's future revolutionary line in a few days or more than a dozen days. Therefore, the meeting is just a formality, and the more core things have already begun to be fought over before the meeting, and the battle above the meeting is just the final word for delineating the scope of the potential force.

For example, if Kamenev and Zinoviev want to have a debate with Lenin, according to common sense, you can also make a challenge at the conference! Officially, in front of the national representatives, everyone competed. Not to mention that it is vigorous, it can be regarded as quite formal, and it is not nice to say, even if it is lost, it is still glorious despite defeat. …,

But here's the thing. Do Kamenev and Zinoviev dare to do this? At the national conference, there was indeed momentum. The problem is that it's too late. To engage in political struggle, the work must be done in advance, and when the meeting actually starts, the tone is basically set, and it will be too late for you to go to the event.

Moreover, if you lose at the national conference, it will not be as simple as being ugly and losing face, but if you want to form a resolution at the meeting, it will be a nail in the coffin, and if you lose, you will lose all the games, and you will never be able to turn over. The consequences were so serious that neither Kamenev nor Zinoviev dared to gamble so much.

Therefore, their only chance is to make a challenge before the meeting, one is the most important opportunity to attract attention and prestige support, and if they win, the effect is not much worse than that of the national conference, and even if they lose, the consequences are completely acceptable.

Anyway, there will be no resolution, it's just a reasonable discussion and debate, even if you lose so much that you don't even have any pants left, you can still resurrect at the conference the next day, and once again strive for a chance to turn the tables, although this chance is very slim, but it is better than no chance.

Taking a step back, the attack at this time was also a test of the waters for the two brothers, that is, an armed fire reconnaissance, just to test Lenin's hole cards and strength. If Lenin's hole cards are very big and he has the support of most of the party, then they should keep a low profile at the congress the next day, and stay in the green mountains without fear of no firewood, let's ride a donkey and read the record book and see! But if it turns out that Lenin does not have many cards in his hand and his approval rating is not high, then the two of them should take the initiative at the next congress and try to overthrow the mentor in one fell swoop.

The same applies to Lenin, whose work has been largely done, and who has already gained widespread support in Petrograd, waiting for the final decision at the official meeting.

Before that, the mentor definitely didn't want to engage in too drastic action, because the consequences were unpredictable. But now that Kamenev and Zinoviev are coming to the door, the mentor must take the call, and the loser will not lose the battle, and he can't hide from such a confrontation. And there is no need for him to hide, because the outcome of the debate is five or five, and there are also opportunities for him.

If they win, not to mention nailing those two goods to the pillar of shame, at least they can be killed to lose their armor and fight for greater benefits at the official conference. If you lose, it will not be the end of the world, and the conference will be ruined and let go. Victory or defeat is also a matter of two words. Of course. On the whole, Lenin still had the upper hand, and was more likely to win and less likely to fight.

In fact, with Li Xiaofeng here, the possibility of Lenin losing is very small, of course, this does not mean that someone's eloquence is good, in fact, with the eloquence of a certain immortal, it is not on the stage at all. Compared with Lenin and others, who actually sat on the debate seat, he was at best an amateur. What an immortal can really rely on is the unpredictable ability of ghosts and gods, such as throwing a silence technique to tease the opponent's contestant when the debate is at its most intense. Let the other party collectively lose their voice, and the time should not be too long, and there are enough seconds to see.

Of course, Li Xiaofeng did not plan to use these indiscriminate methods until the last resort, because the strength of the debaters on the side of the tutor was too outstanding. Needless to say, the eloquence of the mentor is naturally not to mention, that belongs to the grandmaster level, and Trotsky, who appeared with his arms hanging behind the tutor, was even more shocked by the audience, no one thought that Lenin would actually find this to help, Trotsky's level not to mention, Lenin's move, which contained a deep meaning, so that the party members and representatives who came to watch the battle fell into contemplation.

Just Lenin and Trotsky. It completely neutralized the might of Kamenev and Zinoviev joining forces, and in terms of real strength, Lenin and Trotsky were a line above each other, and could eat them to death. …,

However, this is not the worst, although Lunacharsky, who appeared next, is not up to the level of a debating grandmaster, but the quasi-grandmaster can still be counted, and Lunacharsky also has a characteristic, he belongs to the crazy type of player, the more people there are, the bigger the scene, the more energetic he is. And it's all about it. The combat effectiveness will be magnificently transformed into a burst of the table, and if it is not good, it will surpass Lenin and Trotsky.

The last player on Lenin's side to appear was Sverdlov, who was the worst of the four players, but he could also compete with the remaining two players on Kamenev's side. Overall. In terms of strength, the contestants on Lenin's side had to eat the stones and the pie face to death.

Then. The faces of these two grandsons became very ugly, which is also normal, after all, they did not calculate that Lenin would ask for foreign aid, and without Trotsky and Lunacharsky to stir up the situation, with the strength of the two of them, not to mention stabilizing Lenin, at least they could restrain Lenin to death.

But Trotsky and Lunacharsky, who appeared out of thin air, caught them by surprise and immediately fell into disadvantage. In the face of such an obvious disadvantage, how could they be convinced, and immediately jumped up and shouted:

"We protest, this is a debate within the party, how can people outside the party participate! It's not fair! This is absolutely unfair! ”

The two were so angry that they blushed and their necks were thick, as if they had been treated unfairly, but Lenin was light: "Who said this is a debate within the party? Why haven't I heard of this? If it's an intra-party debate, there's no need to put it on today, tomorrow there will be time for internal discussion at the national congress! ”

Kamenev and Zinoviev immediately stopped talking, if they really want to put the debate at tomorrow's national convention, do they dare? I don't dare to borrow the two of them, but let them accept this "unfair" confrontation, and they are not convinced.

"But you're too strong on that side, aren't you? The strength of the two sides of the debate is very different, what else is being debated? Why don't we just admit defeat! Zinoviev said angrily.

Lenin smiled slightly, and asked rhetorically: "You proposed this debate, and you also came up with the debate topic, and it was said at that time that the contestants also joined voluntarily. You have chosen the side that supports the war, and you can't find like-minded partners, but you blame those of us who oppose the war for being too strong and dare to talk about fairness in a brazen way...... Don't you guys think that's a joke? ”

These words directly made Zinoviev blush, he was just a fool to say it just now, who would have thought that he would be singled out by Lenin at that time, and he would be unable to speak at all. Worse still, it left a very bad impression on the national delegates in the party - what does it say that the Leninists who opposed the war were so strong that they had many supporters not only in the party, but also the Mensheviks outside the party? It shows that Comrade Lenin's line is what everyone wants!

In fact, the situation was not as simple as those present seemed, Trotsky did not come together with Lenin completely, and the reason why he participated in this debate was first of all because he owed Lenin a favor, and the tutor asked him to solve his big problem. Now ask him for a little help. It is reasonable to come to help.

Secondly. The main problem facing the revolution now is the question of war and peace. To be sure, Trotsky was against war and for peace, so it was not against his will to speak for Lenin.

At the end of the day, the audience for this debate, with the exception of a small group of particularly active revolutionary masses, was for the most part the national representatives of the Bolsheviks, who were also considered the elite of the Russian Revolution, and why not extend their influence before them? …,

Therefore, Trotsky not only appeared in person, but also recruited the sharp-toothed Lunacharsky to help, determined to be an instant hit, so that Kamenev and Zinoviev could not find the north! It would be even more perfect to make these two grandsons vomit three liters of blood.

But it was not Trotsky, who was gearing up, who took the lead. It was the scheming Lenin, who had just clashed, and he refuted that Zinoviev was a loser and a loser. Seeing that the situation was not good, Kamenev hurriedly dragged Zinoviev back - what did you idiot say. Shut up quickly, or we'll be in ruins before the debate begins.

"We are not afraid of any challenge!" Kamenev swore solemnly, "Because we know that the truth is on our side, and even if we speak skillfully, we will not be able to shake our will to defend the motherland!" I believe that the eyes of the people are bright! Chairman, you can begin the debate! ”

The chairman of this debate is Dzerzhinsky, and there is no one else in the party who is more suitable to be a referee than the Man in the Iron Mask, who makes the character of the family strong. It should be said that old Felix is very fair. In fact, he also felt that the difference in strength between the two sides was really a bit big, and it was really unfair to compete. But when did the two sides of the debate ever have absolute fairness, and you can't just pull people who disagree with you to your side to help, right?

Individuals have their own opinions and cannot be forced. Besides, this is not a debate in the real sense, to put it bluntly, this is a muscle show, and the competition is who is stronger, and whoever is stronger will have the advantage and initiative in the national convention that opens the next day.

"Players from the pros and cons are invited to take their seats, and the debate will begin immediately!" Dzerzhinsky really looked like a conscientious judge. With a hammer, the start was announced.

As soon as he took his seat with both hands, Kamenev's side was dumbfounded, and he was surprised to find that Lenin and Trotsky did not appear as the most important second and third debates as expected, and it stands to reason that they were both stronger and should have taken on these two extremely important positions. But Lenin was the first debate, and the most important second debate was Trotsky. The third debate was Lunacharsky, and the last four debates were Sverdlov, who was the worst, and this order of appearance made Kamenev and Zinoviev completely confused, and they couldn't figure out what Lenin's calculations were.

However, if you can't make a fuss, you can't make a fuss, and these two are actually a little complacent about Lenin's appearance as a debate, and even secretly breathe a sigh of relief. Lenin's terrifying strength, as close assistants and students, of course, they knew it well, and if the tutor was allowed to spit out with all his firepower, it would be difficult for them to deal with it even if they worked together.

For this reason, the two of them specially thought about many countermeasures through targeted meditation, that is, they were ready to resist the fire of the master in the offensive and defense stage. Now that the mentor is not playing at all in this link, they are naturally happy and relaxed, and even secretly laugh at Lenin's mistakes.

Did Lenin make a mistake? It should be said that no, on the contrary, this arrangement is the result of the painstaking efforts of the Mentor. That's right, the strength of the mentor is really strong, and the full firepower is really terrifying, but the problem is that it depends on who it is aimed at, Kamenev and Zinoviev are his students and assistants, and they are very familiar with the style of the mentor, and it is entirely possible to make targeted arrangements in the offensive and defense stage to offset the advantages of the mentor, or more simply dig a pit for the mentor and ambush, these are completely possible.

When Lenin appeared as a debater, he completely avoided these targeted arrangements, and replaced them with Trotsky and Lunacharsky, who Kamenev and Zinoviev were not familiar with, which was completely to exploit their strengths and avoid their weaknesses, so that most of the advantages of those two goods that were originally well prepared were lost at once. …,

Besides, don't look at Lenin's failure to make a move in the offensive and defense stage, but the strength of his side has not been greatly weakened, Trotsky and Lunacharsky are really no worse than their mentors, and Kamenev and Zinoviev will not take advantage of them at all.

Of course, these targeted arrangements were not only for this reason, but the confrontation in the offensive and defensive phases was quite brutal and fierce, and it can be said that Lenin was exposed to this kind of firepower, which can be said to be quite bad. It is normal for Lenin to win in the eyes of outsiders, but if he loses, it is really not good-looking. In the situation in which Lenin now has the upper hand, there is no need to engage Kamenev and Zinoviev in close combat, and to put it mildly, Comrade Lenin is the commander-in-chief, and it is enough to pack up the pawns and move the carriages and artillery.

It can be said that such an arrangement not only neutralizes the advantages of the other side, but also reasonably preserves Lenin's prestige, which can be attacked and retreated, and defended, on the other hand, the two on the opposite side seem to have very strong firepower, but against Trotsky and Lunacharsky, they dare not say that they will win, and even a draw depends on luck, even if they are lucky to take the lead in the offensive and defense stage, then they will only win two Mensheviks outside the party, which is not very significant. When it comes to the stage of free debate, Lenin inserts it strongly, and the chrysanthemum of the counter-explosion is also expected, and it is even more likely that the water dog will be beaten......
