Li Xiaofeng is really not alarmist, at this time, in Moscow, you can beat Lomov and Smirlov to the water dogs, you can also play with your life to abuse Mikoyan and Kirov, and even beat Voroshilov hard, these are no problems. However, you just can't find trouble with Frunze, let alone trouble, you can't find awkwardness!

This is not a joke, Frunze's current identity is not trivial, he was directly ordered by the mentor, and in a sense, he is the spokesperson of the mentor in Moscow. If you don't feel comfortable with the spokesperson of the mentor, you are not comfortable with the mentor, so you don't need to mention how bad this nature is, right?

With the initial victories of the armed uprisings in Petrograd and Moscow, the position of the Mentor in the Party was greatly consolidated, and he initially had all the necessary needs for the leadership core. At this time, I don't feel comfortable looking for his old man, isn't that looking for a draw?

Li Xiaofeng has no habit of masochism, even if he is not completely satisfied with the appointment of the mentor, but he must respect the decision of the mentor, otherwise, it will be tantamount to a public callout, or a rebellion.

Li Xiaofeng quietly instructed Markway: "Tell the guards who are guarding Voroshilov to have a little respect for that stupid big man and don't let him live too badly." ”

"Isn't it?" Mackvi didn't understand this decision, "That stupid guy is very dishonest, scolding and chattering has been greeting your eighteenth generation ancestors...... Andrey, when did you become so magnanimous? ”

Li Xiaofeng sighed slightly, and said helplessly: "It's not that I'm magnanimous, but I have to show respect for Frunze!" ”

Makvi was confused for a moment: "Voroshilov has a good relationship with Frunze? ”

"So-so." Li Xiaofeng thought for a while and replied. It seems that the history books don't mention how good the relationship between those two people was. And with Frunze's temper. I don't necessarily like that stupid big man.

Mark Wei immediately expressed his incomprehension: "Then why do you care so much about him?" ”

Li Xiaofeng sighed again and said, "I said, this is respect for him!" He knew that Makvi did not understand the intricate relationship between them, so he could only point out: "Although Voroshilov has the same relationship with Frunze, Voroshilov is his subordinate after all, and he sent him to support the armed uprising in Moscow." And we detained him without saying a word, and Frunze would have more or less opinions and ideas about it anyway. And we have to take care of his face, you know? ”

Mark Vi nodded. I don't know if Lu Dao really understands or fakes, but Li Xiaofeng didn't have time to study it deeply at this time, so he could only continue: "Mobilize our logistics forces, find the best hotel to accommodate Frunze and his entourage, and make sure that they are at home, and Voroshilov's soldiers must also be properly accommodated, do not discriminate against them, in short, we must satisfy Frunze." Don't let him misunderstand us! ”

What Li Xiaofeng could think of, Stalin could certainly think of. Although he was far away in Petrograd and could not personally go to Moscow to do Frunze's work, he made arrangements accordingly: "Frunze's attitude is very important, and which side he favors will directly determine the future of Moscow." We are going to do our best to bring Frunze to our side. If he can turn to us, it can be said that the previous defeat is a drizzle...... I want you to do everything possible to sow discord between him and Li Xiaofeng, Voroshilov is a good breakthrough! ”

Before arriving in Moscow, Frunze had already become the focus of the wrestling between the parties, and he knew this, in fact, he did not want to go to Moscow at all, and did not want to be the focus of any attention at all. The reason why, after destroying the remnants of Karekin's power, did not go directly to Moscow, it was to avoid this troublesome situation.

Frunze knew very well that as a huge center of the revolution, Moscow's influence was very staggering, and it could be said that whoever controls Moscow will have a much higher position in the party. He doesn't have that much ambition and doesn't plan to form a gang, so this hot potato can be hidden.

This is also why when he agreed to send Voroshilov to support the Moscow uprising, he had to repeatedly tell the big man not to be arrogant, and not to pretend to be a tiger in his name.

Frunze thought that with this earnest warning, Voroshilov would be more honest, but he did not expect that the big man would stab a big basket as soon as he arrived in Moscow, and he was directly involved in the struggle between Sverdlov and Stalin, and even almost pulled him into the water.

Seriously, when he received the telegram of inquiry from Li Xiaofeng, Frunze broke out in a cold sweat, and if Voroshilov succeeded, then it can be asserted that he directly offended Sverdlov. At that time, he would either bear the wrath of Sverdlov alone, or he would have to defect to Stalin.

Frunze did not like either option, first of all, he admired Sverdlov and felt that the young comrade was quite capable and kept the Central Committee in good order, and it was a pleasure to work with him. For this kind of person with real skills, he has always been willing to make friends with Lu.

Secondly, taking refuge in Stalin is definitely not a good choice. Frunze did not appreciate, or rather did not like, the taciturn Stalin. He felt that this comrade was a stuffy gourd, giving people a gloomy feeling. He felt that Stalin's city was too deep, and he could not figure out what was going on in the heart of this pockmarked comrade. Anyway, he wouldn't trust a man who put himself in a suit.

Fortunately, things did not get that bad, so Frunze called back at the first time to clarify everything, categorically denying what military command had been granted to Voroshilov. Although it was possible to offend Stalin by doing so, he knew that it was better and less risky to offend Stalin than to offend Sverdlov and Lenin at the same time.

Soon after, Lenin sent him a telegram asking him in detail why he had sent Voroshilov to Moscow, and when he learned that he had not given Voroshilov military command. Lenin praised him.

Although this kind of praise is nothing. But Frunze at least knew that he had done nothing wrong. At this point, if you can make no mistakes, everything is already good!

But Frunze didn't think of it. Without making a mistake, he was suddenly taken by his mentor, and without saying a word, he handed over the military power of Moscow to him, and strictly ordered him to go to Moscow immediately to preside over the overall situation.

To tell the truth, Frunze felt that the mentor looked up to him too much, why did he throw him into the whirlpool of Sverdlov and Stalin's fighting methods regardless of it, this kind of immortal frame is what he dares to participate in?

It's not just Frunze who thinks it's bad, anyone who gets the news is not optimistic about Frunze. They have a very absurd feeling - Comrade Lenin, you are trying to trap Frunze, right? This kind of pit daddy's work, uh, just Frunze's small body, can't withstand the impact of those two gods at all, this is to put Frunze on the fire to roast, right?

In distant Petrograd, Krupskaya was also quite puzzled by the appointment, and she also believed that Frunze was not up to the task.

"Valodya, Mikhail. Will Comrade Vasilyevich be up to the job? Krupskaya asked worriedly, "Although Comrade Mikhail has just achieved a brilliant victory. But his seniority and prestige in the party may not be able to reconcile that contradiction, right? ”

Lenin looked at his wife, who was sleeping beside him. Krupskaya rarely gets involved in party affairs, but today she has expressed her opinion on this for the first time, which is very extraordinary!

"What are you worried about?" Lenin calmly asked, "Worried about the safety of Comrade Mikhail?" ”

"Not exactly," Krupskaya hesitated for a moment before saying, "I'm just worried that the situation in Moscow is out of control." If Joseph and Yakov really ......"

She didn't finish her sentence, but Lenin understood what she meant, and the mentor shook his head and said: "Your worries are completely unnecessary, that situation is impossible!" ”

Krupskaya did not know where Lenin's confidence came from, but she was still very worried about it, and she was worried that Sverdlov and Stalin would also have infighting with their mentors, as they had learned from Zinoviev and Kamenev.

To this, Lenin simply smiled, "Sverdlov and Stalin are completely different from those two white-eyed wolves......"

"What's the difference? Isn't there less such a thing? Krupskaya was a little anxious, "How many brothers and friends who have shared hardships can maintain their previous friendship after becoming rich?" How many people turn their faces and deny people in order to fight for power and profit! ”

"I know the way!" Lenin took a deep breath, "I understand your concerns, but the situation has not yet reached that point. We're far from winning now, and if the two of them were smart enough, they wouldn't be fighting among themselves at this time...... Moreover, I was able to keep them restrained very well, which was completely to my expectation. ”

Krups was still not at ease: "But what if the situation deteriorates on the Moscow side?" Andrey, that little guy can be unscrupulous sometimes! ”

Lenin suddenly laughed: "That's why I sent Frunze!" ”

Krupskaya couldn't understand what was going on with this, and she was stunned: "Do you think Comrade Mikhail will be able to suppress that little guy?" ”

Lenin shook his head: "He can't!" The only person in the party who can keep that little bastard restrained is probably only one and a half people. And Mikhail is not among them! ”

Krupskaya was so stunned that she rolled over and sat up from the bed and asked, "But what did you ......say just now?"

Lenin shook his head, he knew that if he didn't explain it clearly, his wife would not be able to sleep that night, "Listen to me, I just said that in the party, only one and a half people can suppress that little bastard." Of these, that half of the person is Yakov, and the rest of the person is me! ”

Krupskaya looked at her husband in confusion, she was getting more and more confused, since this is the case, then Sverdlov must be sent to Moscow at the last time, otherwise who can stop Li Xiaofeng?

Lenin shook his head lovingly and sighed: "In your opinion, Comrade Mikhail's energy is too small, and between Comrade Yakov and Comrade Joseph, he will be in a dilemma, I am afraid that he will not be able to effectively control the situation." In my opinion, this concern is completely unnecessary. Comrade Mikhail does not need to resist both Yakov and Joseph at the same time, because this worst situation simply does not exist! ”

Krupskaya frowned: "What do you say? ”

Lenin smiled, "Before that." Joseph's strength in Moscow had already been devastated. Most of the people he sent out were imprisoned. His influence with Moscow has been greatly diminished. So, at this time, the situation in Moscow is actually a monopoly. Andrei's troublemaker did such a beautiful job, he almost single-handedly took Moscow, which is really amazing! ”

Krupskaya began to understand that Frunze's visit to Moscow did not seem to be as much resistance as she had imagined. And Lenin immediately confirmed this: "In fact, if Mikhail goes to Moscow, as long as he can subdue Andrei, a little trickster, the mission will be more than half successful......"

Lenin stopped Krupskaya from interjecting, and he continued: "I know what you are worried about. As I said before, I'm the only one who can make a little trickster honest. He did not dare to disobey my orders, and I had already clearly determined Mikhail's military leadership. Out of respect and obedience to me, the little trickster will obediently hand over the military power. And as long as Mikhail has military power, then Moscow will not make a big mess...... In a sense, he went to Moscow to act as a referee......"

Speaking of this, Lenin smiled even more happily, "Do you think that the two athletes, Yakov and Joseph, would dare to stand up to the referees?" ”

Krupskaya somewhat understood, and it seemed that she had complicated the situation in Moscow. Actually, the situation there is very simple, in the first round of the encounter. Stalin was crushed and lost almost all initiative. If the central government allows this situation to develop, it is not surprising that Moscow will be in Sverdlov's pocket.

But it was clear that his husband didn't seem to want the fight to end there, and didn't want Stalin to lose his pants like this, so on the one hand, he repaired Stalin fiercely and stopped his work, but on the other hand, instead of declaring Sverdlov victorious, he sent a referee representing his own will to announce the official start of the second round.

Krupskaya breathed a sigh of relief that she didn't have to worry too much as long as there was no large-scale infighting, but she still didn't understand why Lenin was not declaring Sverdlov the victory. After all, Stalin's performance in the first round was so miserable that even Krupskaya vaguely felt that this guy was a treacherous careerist.

Is it okay to keep a careerist in the ring? Krupskaya asked herself and Lenin.

"Who doesn't have ambition?" Lenin smiled absentmindedly, "Joseph's ambition is not small, this is normal. Because people without ambition are simply not fit to be professional revolutionaries. The same goes for Yakov, who is no less ambitious than Joseph. Ambition is not a criterion! ”

Lenin looked at Krupskaya seriously and said very seriously: "Strictly speaking, they are all the same kind of people. If I declare Stalin out now, then I can only find another person as ambitious and capable as he takes his place, and then declare that the struggle continues! ”

Speaking of this, Lenin spread his hands and said helplessly: "It's a pity that in the party, apart from Yakov and Joseph, I can't find a third person like them for the time being, uh......"

Lenin suddenly paused and burst into laughter: "There may be a third person, but that person is too young and too junior to play for the time being......

Krupskaya wondered who Lenin's third person was, but she never found out that there was a third party similar to Stalin and Sverdlov, and she wondered if Lenin was deliberately joking. It should be said that she was deceived by the extremely hidden appearance of the third party, and the little fox did hide himself very well.

"In short, you just have to know that," Lenin continued, "if I want to continue to lead our party, if I want to continue to play a role, then one cannot easily declare victory for one side." Because, if I declare him victorious, but don't give him the reward that the victor deserves, then things will go in the worst direction, and then it will be a disaster...... Only when I could not lead the party forward, only when I needed to unload this burden. That's what it takes to be the winner! And now, apparently, it is not that time...... The fierce but controllable struggle is conducive to maintaining a positive atmosphere within the party, to leading the party to continue to advance, and to discovering the victor who is the last to come! ”

Krupskaya nodded in understanding, she just needed to know that the second round of the ring was about to begin. Of course, she felt that such a duel was somewhat unfair, one side was strong, the other side was dying, and it was more like watching the referee than watching the game. She was curious, would Frunze be a qualified referee? Or did Frunze realize that his role was to play one or two qualified judges?

It should be said that Frunze was not aware of the responsibility on his shoulders at first, and before arriving in Moscow, he was a little frightened, but after he arrived in Moscow, these fears disappeared completely. He immediately realized how wrong his previous estimate was, as if it wasn't a chore, but a big one! (To be continued......)
