180 Prevention before it happens (II)
The sudden convening of an emergency meeting of the Central Executive Committee of the Moscow Workers' and Peasants' and Soldiers' Soviets drew the attention of a section of the people who had been preparing to adopt the Moscow Oblast Party Committee to oppose the Central Committee's compromise resolution with Germany.
Oshinsky had just communicated with Muralov before, and as a result, the big guys had already learned the truth in the previous chapter, and the two sides parted happily. Oszynsky was quite dissatisfied with Mulalov's capitulationist rhetoric, and now, suddenly, Muralov was about to convene an emergency meeting of the Central Executive Committee of the Soviets, it is difficult to say what Mulalov's purpose was.
"I think this meeting is very alarming!" Oshinsky said very seriously, "Muralov adheres to the capitulationist line, and before he called a meeting of some comrades, he tried to do persuasion work, just to wave the flag for the capitulationist line. Now, after being sternly rejected by us, I am afraid that the purpose of suddenly convening this emergency meeting will not be pure! β
Yakovleva agreed: "Now there is a basic consensus in the Party committee, and the comrades are very dissatisfied with the surrender policy of the Central Committee...... However, a handful of comrades headed by Muralov not only did not realize their mistakes in the slightest, but tried to cover up the mistakes of the Central Committee, and we must beware of them making a name for themselves in this emergency meeting! β
Saplonov frowned, although he shared the basic ideas of Oszynsky and Yakovleva, he did not think that Muralov would play any tricks, and he thought that since Muralov was holding the meeting in the open, it seemed inappropriate if they did not go.
"I don't think that worry is a bit unnecessary?" He said very honestly, "Muralov is also our comrade anyway. He is a member of the Central Committee of the Party. Even if we disagree. But he's not going to engage in intrigues, is he? β
Stukov sneered: "Comrade Saplonov, you think too simply, people's hearts are separated from their stomachs, how can you be sure that Muralov will not jump off the wall in a hurry?" What happened at the time of the October Revolution, do you need me to remind you? I don't think we can go to this meeting! And not only should we not go, but we should convene an emergency meeting of the Party Committee and immediately pass a resolution condemning the surrender of the Central Committee to Germany! β
Saplonov was a little upset, "We are all Soviet deputies. How can the Soviets refuse to convene an emergency meeting and ask us all to attend by name? When this news goes, what will the masses think, and what will they think of us? β
Stukov snorted contemptuously: "I have said before that the moment when the Central Committee and the Central Executive Committee of the All-Russian Soviet agree to surrender to Germany is the time for us to break with them. Soviets that are not capable of safeguarding the interests of Russia are soviets that are mere formalities, and such soviets do not want them! β
Now Saplonov was furious, "Your opinion is too extreme!" The Soviets, of course, were wrong in their dealings with Germany. But it is, after all, elected by the masses at all levels, if its authority ceases to exist. What is the basis of our party's governance? You are pandering to the arguments of those bourgeois parties, and you are grossly wrong! β
True, there was also considerable controversy within the opposition to the compromise with Germany about the treatment of the Soviets, with radical people like Stukov eager to shout slogans to hit the Soviets, while people like Saplonov believed that the Soviets still had a need to exist and could not simply deny their significance.
In any case, there is a large group of supporters of these two opinions, and they are quarreling with each other, and no one can convince anyone anyway, in a sense, Lenin is not right at all - the opposition led by Bukharin is just a bunch of cannons, only empty talk and nonsense.
At the end of the day, however, there was no unanimity within the opposition in Moscow, with some believing that it was necessary to go to an emergency meeting of the Soviets, while others believed that it was necessary to immediately go to the party committee to vote on the condemnation resolution. In the end, the two groups of people parted ways and went their own way. Stukov went to the party committee, and Saplonov, Osinsky and Yakovleva rushed to the meeting.
"Have all the people arrived?" Li Xiaofeng asked Muralov in a low voice.
The latter's face was not very good, since he knew what someone wanted to do, he had a bitter face, and he could see that he was not an ordinary entanglement. But what's the use of being entangled, Muralov has already been on the thief ship, and now there is only one way to go to the dark.
He nodded bitterly and said, "Except for Stukov, everyone who has taken the lead has arrived!" β
"Stukov didn't come, did he?" Li Xiaofeng touched his chin, smiled slightly, and said: "How useful can he be alone, don't pay attention to him, plan according to the original plan, and have a meeting!" β
Muralov looked at him hesitantly, and asked with some apprehension, "Is this really appropriate?" β
Li Xiaofeng snorted: "What's inappropriate?" It is very necessary for party members and cadres to strengthen their study, otherwise how can they keep up with the situation? Let them go to full-time study so that they can work better in the future, and this is also for their good! β
Mulalov's face became more and more bitter, someone is simply talking nonsense with his eyes open, how can there be a reason for the main party leading cadres in Moscow to take a break from production to study. You're clearly trying to put them under house arrest.
House arrest? Li Xiaofeng pursed his lips, in a sense, he still meant that. However, this is also something that cannot be helped, as the area where the nationalist ideology is most widespread in the party, the opposition in Moscow is stronger than Petrograd, and in history, it has constantly contradicted the Central Committee, constantly opposed the resolutions of the Central Committee, and even broke out more than once in armed rebellion. As the person in charge of the Moscow Cheka, Li Xiaofeng naturally couldn't just watch them make trouble.
But the problem is that it's not easy to control these birdmen. For what? Whoever makes the birdmen active here are all middle and high-level cadres in the party, and even if they don't deal with the central authorities, Li Xiaofeng can't deal with them by counter-revolutionary means.
After all, the influence of this group of birdmen is not small, and there are still a large number of comrades in Petrograd who echo each other, regardless of cleaning them up. It's tantamount to stabbing a hornet's nest. And he used the same means of dealing with the counter-revolutionaries to clean up his comrades. Even the tutors wouldn't agree to it. This will divide the party!
However, there is really no way to stop this group of birdmen from messing around without forceful means, and if they are allowed to use the Moscow Region Party Committee to condemn and negate the correct decisions of the Central Committee, as they have done in history, it will have an extremely bad effect. If this kind of thing really happened under the nose of some immortal, I guess he wouldn't have the face to meet Sverdlov and the Mentor.
So the problem comes, because this group of people has an advantage in the party committee, and it is impossible to deny them positively. And it is not advisable to use strong means to clean them up, which makes people feel in a dilemma.
How can you clean up this group of birdmen and reduce the influence to a minimum? In Li Xiaofeng's opinion, there is only one way, that is, to find a reasonable reason to ban this group of goods in the circle, control their mouths, tie their hands and feet, and make them unable to cause chaos to the central government.
Thinking about it, Li Xiaofeng can only let this group of goods go to study off-duty to improve the quality of cadres! This justification makes sense at all times. As for the part-time study, it is completely closed. That's also to let comrades study with peace of mind without outside interference, what? You say that there are armed special branch guards standing guard, which is more normal, but you don't know that the counter-revolutionaries in Moscow are arrogant and do not send people to guard them. How to protect the personal safety of cadres?
"I protest, this is illegal detention!" When Saplonov learned the true purpose of the meeting, he was surprisingly angry and snarled at Mulalov's bitter face.
At this time, Muralov couldn't see any expression on his face, probably because he also knew that the matter was already in the boat, and this was the only way to solve the problem, so he just said lightly: "I emphasize again that it is the decision of the Central Executive Committee of the Soviet Union to let you study on a full-time basis, and under the continuous development of the revolutionary situation, the theoretical level of many comrades can no longer keep up with the needs of the development of the revolution...... In order for everyone to be able to carry out their work better, it is very necessary to study and receive re-education, and I ask for the cooperation of comrades......"
"What if we don't cooperate!" Yakovleva was even more manic than Saplonov, and she roared in a high female voice: "We refuse to study part-time!" β
Muralov sighed and said: "I repeat, this is the decision of the Central Executive Committee of the Moscow Soviet, please cooperate, otherwise it will ......"
"How about otherwise!" Osinsky rushed up with a fist at his fist, and was about to beat Muralov violently, but before he could rush to Muralov, two of Tekko's guards quickly stopped in front of him, and without saying a word, they put the cargo on the ground.
At this time, Li Xiaofeng finally appeared, and he sneered at Oszynsky, "Otherwise, I can only think that you are deliberately confronting the leadership of the Soviets, and the Cheka will never sit idly by and watch this kind of counter-revolutionary act, let alone be soft!" β
Li Xiaofeng's appearance made Oszynsky and others completely understand that if they do not accept the reality, then the consequences will be very serious. The results of the Cheka's work in these two months are quite clear to them, and they have fallen into the hands of the Cheka, and as long as they decide that you are a counter-revolutionary, then you are not.
What will happen to the counter-revolution? Think about what happened to Ilyushin and Kuzma of the People's Commissariat for Foreign Affairs, who were expelled from the party and added to the labor camp, and Osinensky didn't want to go to the prison to pick up soap.
So these guys were immediately honest, of course, this doesn't mean that they have already accepted their fate, and it doesn't mean that they don't hold a grudge against a certain immortal. These people are only temporarily silent, knowing that the road is an egg touching a stone, and they will not be stupid to find death.
The gang put all their hopes on Stukov, who they thought would find a way to rescue them, and even if Stukov did not have the ability, he would be able to inform Bukharin, inform other comrades in Moscow and Petrograd. As long as the comrades outside find a way to exert pressure, they will soon be released, and at that time, it will not be too late to find someone to settle the score.
I have to say that Osinsky and others are too naΓ―ve, the reason why Li Xiaofeng did this is definitely because there is a comprehensive countermeasure, just one Stukov is a ball! I can clean him up in minutes.
In fact, after learning that Oshinsky and others were all forced to take time off from work, Stukov tried to mobilize the strength of the party committee to rescue him, but he was soon hit in the face. Without the Osinensky generals and some backbones. The strength of the opposition in the Moscow Party Committee has been greatly weakened.
Muralov soon regained a certain advantage in the party committee. So poor Stukov not only did not save anyone. As soon as the Party Committee convened, it was quickly decided that Comrade Stukov's theoretical level could no longer keep up with the development of the revolution, and it was necessary to study on a full-time basis. So when Oszynsky and the others were waiting for Stukov to rescue them in the study class, the goods quickly joined them.
"I strongly protest against the approach of Comrade Mulalov!"
When the news reached Petrograd, Bukharin was so angry that he vomited blood, and according to the strategy he had devouted, it was to mobilize the party committees in Moscow and Petrograd to give the Central Committee a little color.
At the time, Bukharin was optimistic. With the mass base of the Moscow Party Committee, it is relatively simple to pass a resolution condemning the Central Committee, and as long as the Moscow Party Committee fires first, he will make a big fuss in Petrograd, and he can smoothly push the Petrograd Party Committee to issue a corresponding condemnation resolution. In the end, the resolution of the central government was completely repudiated.
But now it's good, he is very optimistic about the Moscow party committee has not yet carried out action, and all the people who support him have taken out of work to study, and they have issued a fart condemnation resolution? Even, there was no exemplary role of the Moscow Party Committee. It was exponentially more difficult for him to work in Petrograd.
What angered him the most was if the forces of the Leninists in Moscow were the ones who defeated him openly. Then he was convinced and had nothing to say. But the fact is that Muralov and Li Xiaofeng imprisoned his people through despicable means and won the victory by improper means.
In this regard, Bukharin can not sit idly by at all, if such means are allowed, then what democracy is there in the party? So he had to ask Lenin for an explanation.
In fact, when Lenin learned the news, he was also a little crying and laughing, he did not expect that someone would use such means to solve the problem. What Bukharin wanted to do, he knew quite well that with the strength of the opposition in Moscow, it was very likely that something would happen there that would cause a headache for the central government.
However, Lenin did not have a very good way to deal with this situation, and it is an objective fact that who allowed the opposition in Moscow to prevail? Even if it was him, he could only try to persuade him, and he hadn't considered other means, and even if he did, it wouldn't be useful.
But someone creatively solved the problem, albeit in a despicable way. However, political struggles have always been based on the results rather than the process, and if they win, they will win. And the most interesting thing is that the methods used by someone are despicable, but you can't say that his methods are illegal, and he doesn't use any violence.
Did the Soviets have the right to leave the deputies to study? Yes! That's enough. Even if you Bukhalin are not convinced, dare to say that leading cadres do not need to study and do not need to be re-educated? The most you can question is why so many important cadres are allowed to study together.
Is this a problem though? It is clear that, in Lenin's opinion, no. If the Central Executive Committee of the Moscow Soviet considered it necessary, then it was necessary, and we must respect the decision of the local Soviets not.
"Even if you want to study, you can't imprison your personal freedom, right?" Bukharin began to argue, "They all have important work on their shoulders, and they all go to study, what about work?" β
For this question, Lenin did not need to make a move, Sverdlov could block him back: "Nikolai. Comrade Konstantinovich, do you know what it means to study part-time? Since you are going to take a leave of work, you naturally have to put down the work at hand! As for what imprisons personal freedom, this is completely nonsense, as far as I know, the study class has only taken a completely closed measure, and I personally think that this kind of measure is very necessary, only by letting the comrades get rid of the influence of the outside world, can they study without any distractions, in essence, this is also to let the comrades concentrate on studying! β
Bukharin was angry and said angrily: "I don't think this kind of full-time study is completely unnecessary, this is simply ......"
Before he could finish speaking, Stalin interjected: "I think that the decision of the Moscow Soviets should be respected, only they should understand the actual situation in Moscow, and whether it is necessary to carry out full-time study, only they have the best say!" β
Looking at Stalin who was talking nonsense with his eyes open, Bukharin's heart beat so violently that his hands and feet involuntarily began to tremble, and for a long time, just when Stalin thought that this goods was about to explode, Bukharin's took a deep breath, stomped his feet and turned away.
"Nikolai. Comrade Konstantinovich, what is your attitude......" Stalin was about to continue to whip the corpse, but Lenin stopped him, "Okay, Comrade Joseph, this matter is over!" β
However, Stalin was not satisfied, he thought that how could it be stopped, it was obvious that it was appropriate to chase after the poor and kill Bukharin, a bald donkey, why should he let him go?
He immediately suggested: "Comrade Lenin, I think that Comrade Andrei has explored a new way, and it is indeed necessary for some comrades in the Party whose theoretical level cannot keep up with the situation to study on a full-time basis. β
Lenin shook his head and said, "You can't do that." Moscow is a special case, the situation there is very special, it is a special case...... Such an experience is not popular! (To be continued......)
