637 Conspiracy (I)
Before I knew it, it was the end of 1948, the year the world economy was still sluggish, the year the world still did not achieve peace, and Sverdlov was very hurt this year. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
1948 was a year of great defeat for Sverdlov, nominally he was still the core of the party's leadership, but in reality everyone didn't sell him much face, and a certain immortal was more marketable.
This bad situation made Sverdlov very frustrated, and he was originally going to seize the last opportunity in 1948 to redeem the disadvantage in one fell swoop, but who would have thought that the disadvantage would become bigger and bigger, and there was no way to recover it now.
"Comrade Yakov, you can't just give up!" Yagoda persuaded hard.
For Youngagoda, Sverdlov was all he could hope for. In the past few years when Xiao Si has been the core of leadership, he has lived quite well. The heads of the departments have to give him face to some extent, and as long as he plays the sign of Cousin Sverdlov outside, he is invincible. He had been hoping that Sverdlov would continue to do this for a long time, after all, his cousin was not very old! What's wrong with working for a few more years?
The problem is that now it seems that this is more and more like an extravagant hope, and Sverdlov is in politics, and the disadvantage of governing the situation is quite large, and it is simply difficult to amend the party constitution and constitution in such a state. As soon as he thought of this, Yagoda complained to Lenin, if it weren't for the fact that this old man had to write retirement at the age of 65 into the party constitution, why would he be so passive today?
It can only be said that Yagoda is really stupid, and he does not want to think, if Lenin did not retire at the age of 65, would it be Sverdlov's turn to come to power now? If Lenin had retired two terms late, I am afraid that Trotsky would still be in the world, and Sverdlov would have to wait aside.
Of course, selfish people will never think like this, let alone look at problems this way, they will always only see their own personal interests in their eyes, as for the overall situation? What's the big picture? Can you eat it?
Yagoda is a person who does not pay attention to the overall situation, so he tries his best to help Sverdlov continue to stay on the highest stage of power, and in his opinion, the only way to do this is to solve Sverdlov's biggest enemy, Li Xiaofeng.
"We have to get rid of Andrey. Petrovich! Yagoda said to his henchmen.
Speaking of this Yakoda henchman, it is also all kinds of strange things, let's put it this way, there are very few people in this gang who are really capable, and most of them are people who can only stalk and shoot horses. It's not that Sverdlov can only attract this kind of people, but Yakoda can only attract this kind of guy. Compared to Sverdlov, the gap between Yakoda and Sverdlov is all-round.
Of course, it is not that Yakoda has only waste under his hands, and there are not no capable people, such as Malenkov. This guy is a typical careerist and a good hand at engaging in power struggles. Historically, it was through the persecution of the so-called "Trotskyists" that they were brought into Stalin's eyes.
History says that Malenkov was Stalin's designated successor, but I'm afraid this is not true. With Stalin's fickle temper in his later years, it is unlikely that he will appoint a successor. Malenkov is just a back-and-forth man like Beria who was temporarily used by Stalin, and I am afraid that after getting rid of old lackeys such as Molotov and Kaganovich according to Stalin's ideas, Beria and Malenkov will be useless, and they can be beaten to death with a stick and replaced by new people.
It can also be seen from later history that in the internal fighting of the Communist Party after Stalin's death, Malenkov did not show much superior quality and skill, and could only fall in the end. To tell the truth, he was at best a telephone keeper in the Kremlin, and he was average in every way except for Stalin's sycophants and the ability to act on the will of the leader.
In this time and space, because he defected to Stalin relatively late, he was naturally not too implicated because of Stalin's downfall. After the fall of Stalin, he turned to Sverdlov, not to mention the prosperity of the government, at least he was able to get by, and he was elected in the last congress with great difficulty. Member of the Central Committee, who at this time held the post of Deputy Mayor of Moscow.
However, Malenkov is very good at drilling, and one of the important reasons why he was able to defect to Sverdlov was because of his connection with Yakoda, and it was thanks to his good relationship with Yakoda that he was able to get close to Sverdlov, and he was also Yakolda's most important henchman and dog-headed military advisor. Youngoda usually asks for his opinion whenever he has any problems.
And this time, Yakoda was ready to do a big thing, so he naturally found Malenkov for advice. Speaking of which, Malenkov was also taken aback by Yagoda's attitude, the so-called solution Andrei. Petrovich is, naturally, the so-called political assassination. Political assassinations were carried out on the borders of the Soviet Union, and the targets of the assassinations were the next core of leadership and the top leadership of the KGB. Anyway, at the first time, Malenkov felt a little tremor.
However, Malenkov hid his emotions very well, he looked at Yagoda very calmly and pretended to be nothing, and asked slowly: "Comrade Yakov has made up his mind?" ā
Malenkov had to figure out this question, and if it had not been for Sverdlov's determination, but for Yagoda's false decree, the difficulty of the matter would have increased exponentially. With Sverdlov's acquiescence in many ways, it would be a lot more convenient, on the contrary, just having a Yagoda is useless.
Of course, Yagoda would not tell Malenkov that he was making his own claims, and Sverdlov, although he was attached to power, would never engage in similar crooked ways, and he would not make the same choice as Stalin. But Yagoda also knew that if he didn't play the banner of Sverdlov, his fox friends would probably be scared away in an instant, after all, the prestige of a certain immortal was there, and playing with him was tantamount to death.
So Yagoda chose to fool, in his opinion, as long as all the people on his side are mobilized, Sverdlov has no way to object when the wood is ready, to put it bluntly, he is ready to cut first and then play.
As soon as Malenkov heard that this was what Sverdlov meant, his face immediately changed, and he won a series of victories and said: "As long as Comrade Yakov makes up his mind, I will go to the soup and fire!" ā
Yagoda was very satisfied with Malenkov's attitude, and after praising him repeatedly, he said: "Now Comrade Yakov wants you to draw up a comprehensive plan to try to get rid of someone as soon as possible, so as not to have too many dreams at night!" ā
Malenkov replied with a smile: "There is no problem, it is very easy to solve someone." I have three plans! ā
When Yakoda heard that there were so many plans, he really smiled: "Come and listen!" ā
Malenkov replied in a moment's time: "So...... So ...... so."
In his opinion, Malenkov's three plans are quite good, and if he has to choose a better plan, it is best to wait for someone to inspect Orenburg. The reason is very simple, first, Orenburg is far away from Moscow, and its defense forces are not as tight as Moscow. The second reason is that there are his people on the Orenburg side, and a division commander of the local garrison happens to have a very close relationship with him, presumably this one who doesn't mind changing the rank of major general to the commander of the general for a few more stars, right?
Yagoda was the kind of person who would do it as soon as he made up his mind, and immediately after breaking up with Malenkov, he personally rushed to Orenburg to communicate with the commander. As the old saying goes, money moves people's hearts, and 90% of people can't stick to their principles in the face of sufficient interests, and this army commander named Markov is also such a person, he quickly agreed to Yagoda, expressing his willingness to carry out the task of getting rid of a certain immortal, and the price Sverdlov needs to pay is to keep him a general.
After dealing with the perpetrators, Yagoda devoted all his energy to reconnaissance operations, what to reconnoitre? The main thing is to figure out the course of action of a certain immortal, and only by figuring out the course of action of a certain immortal can he decide how to make a certain immortal disappear.
Li Xiaofeng's trip to Orenburg was mainly to inspect the development of animal husbandry, which is the main area covered by the Ural River basin, where industry, agriculture and animal husbandry are very developed. At present, there are many problems in agriculture and animal husbandry in the Soviet Union, and the main purpose of this trip is to go all the way to Central Asia to understand the actual situation in the local area and to provide a basis for the reform of animal husbandry and agriculture in the next stage of political and administrative affairs.
According to the arrangement of a certain immortal, he is not going to take a plane to inspect, but is going to take the train all the way to see while walking, to have an in-depth understanding of the actual situation, and to figure out the first-hand data. I have to say that this gave Youngoda a chance to take advantage of the night. For example, Malenkov's opinion on the synthesis of various considerations was to blow up the train, and the specific method was that when Li Xiaofeng's special train arrived at a bridge over the Ural River, he would blow up all the bridges and cars for him.
Speaking of which, Yagoda is really ruthless, at least much more ruthless than Sverdlov, if Sverdlov also had this "fierce" temperament, I am afraid that Lenin would not have been entangled in who to pass the position to.
For Yagoda, everything is ready and only owes the east wind, he feels that the future will be bright, without the bond of a certain immortal, Sverdlov will be the core of leadership for many years, and he can also use his cousin's support to reach a higher level, and even have the opportunity to win the highest throne, as long as he thinks of this possibility, he can't stop his excitement, he really can't wait.
It's just that Yakoda didn't know that his plan was not perfect, because his plan had a fatal flaw from the beginning - the person who made it was called Malenkov. Malenkov may not be very smart, but he is clever enough.
As mentioned earlier, the main reason why Malenkov moved closer to Yagoda was the fall of Stalin, and as Stalin's comrade, even if he was not a core figure, he could basically declare the end of his political life. And as an ambitious person, he naturally did not want to withdraw from the stage of history like this, so he tried his best to move closer to Yakoda and Sverdlov.
You ask Malenkov why he didn't move closer to a certain immortal? The reason is very simple, a certain immortal does not want to see him. Careerists like Malenkov are best at calculating gains and losses, especially on major issues, and this type of person is generally not ordinarily shrewd.
So don't look at Malenkov who gave Yagoda an idea, and the idea looks like that, but only Malenkov knows that it's all acting. He has always been optimistic about Sverdlov, especially in recent years, he feels that Sverdlov is declining day by day, and sooner or later the highest throne will be a certain immortal, and this trend is irresistible.
At this time, Malenkov was anxious, he was worried that his faction would take another pill, and at this time there would be no second Yakoda and Sverdlov to turn to. So Malenkov was always thinking about how to get out of the broken ship of Sverdlov, not only to pick himself up, but also to please Li Xiaofeng, so as to achieve the goal of soaring.
The idea is very good, but it is really not easy to implement, because Malenkov has never had the opportunity to knock on the door to Li Xiaofeng's camp. And now at this critical moment, Yagoda himself sent someone to the door, do you say that he Malenkov can not be happy?
Malenkov quickly realized the value of this matter, and it could have been used as a stepping stone to his defection to a certain immortal. Presumably, some immortal would be glad to know about this conspiracy!
Yes, for Malenkov, it is indeed a huge gain to follow the Yakoda to carry out assassination and play conspiracy once it succeeds. But who can guarantee that this kind of thing will work out? What if it fails?
It is conceivable that once they fail, Yagoda and he will inevitably face a certain immortal who is furious, and what awaits them at that time is probably a situation where they cannot survive but die. How is it possible for a person like Malenkov who knows how to settle accounts only to see the benefits and not the risks? Such a big risk is simply a matter of playing with your life!
So Malenkov simply thought of a way to make a sure profit and not lose money, informing. It is conceivable that once Li Xiaofeng learns this information, will Yakoda still have a play? It can be said that Yakoda can be pinched to death in minutes. Although the benefits of this are not so great, Malenkov believes that no matter how bad it is, he can safely keep his next term. Central Committee Member!
And it's too easy and simple to play with your head in your trouser belt, as long as you move your mouth, you can get the credit at your fingertips. In that case, why be stupid to accompany Yakoda and them to play with their lives?
Of course, Malenkov is also trying to make the "credit" as much as possible, so he is not in a hurry to inform, but waits for Yagoda and them to start planning step by step, he is ready to wait for these fools to start acting, and then go to the informant, so that the benefits can be maximized!
