The influence of any of these three things should not be underestimated. Even if the bigwigs at the level of the Central Committee members catch up, they will have to be anxious for a long time. What's more, these three things still happened almost at the same time, not to mention any members of the Central Committee, even the members of the Politburo can't bear it!

Especially in the end, the Mironov affair was so bad that its influence was simply unheard of. You must know that not so long ago Mironov was a model and example of the propaganda of Pravda and the Central Committee, and was the first recipient of the Order of the Red Banner and the weapon of honor of the revolution. Such a person actually defected to the White Army, which was simply a slap in the face and a kick to the Bolsheviks.

"Why did Mironov betray the revolution? Why betray the party? This question must be investigated! ”

Trotsky firmly grasped this point in his telegram to the Politburo, and judging by his tone, he was bound to ask for an explanation, and he was bound to embarrass Stalin severely.

As the political commissar of the Southwestern Front, Stalin could not escape the blame for this incident. Whatever the reason for Mirolov's defection, he has to take the blame.

Stalin was also clear about this, and as soon as Mironov betrayed the revolution, he wrote a review to the Politburo and the Central Committee: "...... I was responsible for the leadership of Mironov's betrayal of the revolution, and as the political commissar of the South-Western Front, I did not see clearly the reactionary face of this man, nor did I perceive his reactionary tendencies. Blindly and wrongly believing in him, being deceived by his illusions, fully shows that my work is not in place. There is an urgent need to improve ...... on this. I ask for punishment ......"

Stalin was really able to fool. Looking at his review, the meaning between the lines is nothing more than a point - Mironov was a reactionary for a long time, but he was very good at concealment, and deceived the organization and him Stalin. Let's not say whether this is the truth or not, but just that this conclusion made by Stalin is actually to clear him of responsibility. In this case, he just didn't do his job properly, it was just a mistake in his work.

Even these words have a vague meaning -- what the hell is your Central Committee doing. Why didn't Mironov's reactionary tendencies be discovered earlier, and he even awarded medals to such counter-revolutionaries? I, Stalin, have been taken to the gutter by you!

This is not the end, at the same time that Stalin "asked for punishment", the Southwestern Front also did one thing - quickly shot the head of the Cheka of the Southwestern Front. The reason was that his work was not in place and that he did not identify Mironov as a counter-revolutionary.

From these two actions, it is not difficult to see that all Stalin's actions after the Mironov defection were quite purposeful, and it can be said that he was premeditated or premeditated! The first move was to clear the blame, the second was still to clear the blame, and by the way, it slapped Trotsky in the face.

After all, the current Cheka is in the hands of the old Toto, and the new NKVD and Cheka Chairman Rykov is a cadre of the Trotskyists. One could even say. With the Milonov mutiny, Stalin's actions seemed to be self-preservation. In fact, it was Chiguoguo's attack on the Trotskyists!

If Trotsky had tolerated Stalin's repeated provocations, he could have changed his name to Gusun. The previous grain incident and the current Mironov mutiny case, Lao Tuo is ready to settle the new and old hatreds with Stalin!

Especially the latter, Trotsky really felt that he was lying down and was shot, and when Mironov was awarded, Rykov had not yet taken over the Cheka, and even the one who was shot had not yet served on the Southwestern Front. Even if the Cheka is responsible for the Mironov case, it was a matter of the past, and it has a dime to do with his people?

Trotsky thought that Stalin was a personal vendetta, that he was purging his men from the South-Western Front under the pretext of cleaning up the Mironov counter-revolutionary case!

Trotsky's judgment was correct, and Stalin thought this was the kind of thing that the Cheka head of the Southwestern Front had been completely in the same pot with him, and he was constantly obstructing him on various issues, and he had long wanted to get rid of this guy. It just so happened that Mironov had defected, and he naturally took this opportunity to wield a butcher's knife and hack this guy who was in the way.

However, Stalin did not expect that the turmoil would be so big and that Trotsky would be so angry, and in the next period of time, the old Tollin began to make a big fuss about the Milonov mutiny, completely overturning Stalin's conclusion.

Rykov quickly concocted a copy of the results of the investigation of the Mironov case using the Cheka and sent it directly to the Central Committee. In the Cheka version of the truth of the case, Stalin had more than just leadership responsibility.

In this article, which later became known as the Rykov Report, it comprehensively repudiated the conclusion that Mironov was a counter-revolutionary from the beginning, and even spoke highly of his military contributions and military talents. Characterize his rebellion as a whim-of-the-moment impulse that could not be oppressed and humiliated. It is believed that the top leadership of the Southwestern Front is guilty of heinous crimes, and all kinds of sensational means are used to attack and persecute this military genius. Stalin, Egorov, Budyonny and Voroshilov are called a group of military reactionaries or a military bureaucracy.

Not only that, but the report also says that the group is incompetent (it has not been able to solve Denikin for months), has a corrupt life (has drunk a lot of vodka), and is jealous of its ability. Repeatedly refused to listen to the correct opinion of Mironov, was completely indifferent and insensitive to all sorts of reminders and warnings from this military genius. In any case, according to Rykov's report, Stalin and the other four were the real counter-revolutionaries and should be shot immediately as an example.

This is nothing, Trotsky will not let his people die in vain, and after concocting this Rykov report, another Cheka report is released. The head of the Cheka of the Southwestern Front, who died tragically, completely overturned the case, described his death as Stalin's act of destroying the body, and provided a large number of reports of the person in charge accusing Stalin and others as evidence!

Rykov directly gave Stalin a hat -- the biggest counterrevolutionary conspirator in the party, or the leader of a militarily reactionary clique that attempted to subvert the party's leadership.

Now the matter is really big, and it is tantamount to an all-out fire on the Trotskyists against the Leninists. This posture is to fight to the death. Such a result stunned Stalin himself!

What to do? How does it end?

This heavy question weighed down Lenin a little. He didn't know how to end it, because the matter had already been made bigger, and he didn't even want to cover the lid. But not covering the lid means a full-scale head-on collision with the Trotskyists, which Lenin did not want to see in the current situation.

"This idiot!"

Even Lenin rarely burst into foul language, which shows how bad his mood was.

And Sverdlov and Ruzutak were not much better than Lenin, and Stalin detonated the contradictions at this time. is an extremely irresponsible practice. If this thing was not their own, they would also want to criticize him on Trotsky's side.

And the cause of the incident is indeed rather dirty, Mironov was indeed ostracized by him, and he was a little depressed. In the eyes of Sverdlov and Ruzutak, you don't need steel to be a good combat hero, and you can suppress and exclude others, and you also instruct Voroshilov and his ilk to sneer at them and squeeze others at every turn, who can stand this?

Of course, they also know that this is just the fuse for the outbreak of contradictions. Judging from the feedback from the State Political Security Bureau, the most fundamental reason for Mironov's betrayal of the revolution was that he was not accustomed to the policy of wartime communism. In particular, I am not used to the surplus grain collection system. What these fools of Stalin did was only to exacerbate the contradictions.

Even so, Stalin is to blame, you know that Mironov has grievances, you should react to the Central Committee, at least you can ask the Central Committee to transfer him, but you are better to do nothing, let this time bomb stay in the Southwestern Front, and send two fools to detonate him with your own hands. Is there anything more stupid than that?

What's even funnier is that Stalin, while detonating the bomb, has not forgotten to pull hatred everywhere, provoke Trotsky, provoke a certain immortal, and offend him both inside and outside, so that even Sverdlov and Ruzutak now look at him unpleasantly and don't bother to speak for him.

This is also an important reason why Trotsky was able to make such a big wave and force Stalinwolf to be unbearable. Of course, this is also the reason why Lenin asked Sverdlov and Ruzutak to come and talk.

The tutor wanted to do the work of Tunsverdlov first, and let this good guy talk to Stalin, otherwise the entire Central Committee would be shouting and shouting at Stalin, so that he would not know where to start if he wanted to protect Stalin.

If Sverdlov stood up and said two words, it would be a signal and a step down for Stalin. Then he Lenin said good things, and things were confused.

Guessing what Lenin meant, Sverdlov was a little tired, although he and Stalin were both the right-hand men of the mentor, but he was quite annoyed by what the product did this time, it was just a shit-stirring stick, and the good situation was just messed up by him, and he couldn't wait to kick the ass of the thing, and let him get out of here.

And now, Lenin asked him to say good things about that goods, isn't that disgusting? Suddenly, Sverdlov's face became very unsightly.

Lenin saw that he was not good, and quickly added: "Of course, Comrade Joseph bears unshirkable responsibility in this incident. He must learn from his lessons, and he must learn from them......"

Lenin used several adjectives in a row to show his attitude, but Sverdlov was unmoved, this statement is too vague, self-reflection is also to learn from experience, self-criticism is also a warning of the expression, but did he Stalin reflect?

Anyway, Xiao Si had already made up his mind, Stalin had to pay the price this time, otherwise Trotsky would not be able to give an account, and Li Xiaofeng would not end well. But looking at what Lenin meant, it is estimated that he raised the board high and then put it down gently, so that Xiao Si would not let him pass the test so lightly.

Seeing that Xiao Si did not say anything, Lenin was also a little speechless, and he could not accuse Xiao Si of ignoring the overall situation, because it was Stalin who first disregarded the overall situation. You kid yourself broke the rules of the game, do you still expect others to do things according to the rules?

However, at the most critical moment in dealing with Denikin, Lenin really did not want to make any twists and turns, so he could only persuade again: "Now we must focus on the overall situation, the war in the southwest has reached the most critical moment, and there can be no turmoil at this time!" ”

This annoyed Sverdlov a little. It is clear that it is Stalin who is causing the turmoil now. Why did he let others help wipe his ass? So he followed Lenin's words and added: "The present situation is that the Southwestern Front is already in a tremor. Turmoil is inevitable! ”

Lenin frowned and said: "You can't be so arbitrary, after all, in the past month or two, such as the Battle of Tsaritsyn, the Southwestern Front under the leadership of Comrade Stalin and Comrade Yegorov is still remarkable!" ”

Still quiet, Sverdlov replied: "The credit goes to the credit, and the Central Committee has fully praised the previous merits of the Southwestern Front." Now that they have made a mistake, they must naturally be punished as well! ”

Lenin was a little surprised, but Xiao Si rarely appeared to be so tough. Especially when he has already made it clear that he wants to protect Stalin, it is very worth thinking that he still shows such a tough attitude.

What led Xiao Si to be so tough? In fact, the reason is not difficult to guess at all, Li Xiaofeng's attitude is only one of them, and the second is that Stalin dug a pit for Xiao Si before he had nothing to do.

Lenin sighed and said in a consultative tone: "In this way, remove Comrade Stalin from the post of People's Commissar for National Affairs......"

Lenin finally relented, but Sverdlov was not satisfied with this concession, what is the point of the shit people's commissar for national affairs? What kind of lesson is it?

But he couldn't completely lose face to Lenin. "I am afraid that such a punishment will be difficult to convince the public, and Comrade Trotsky will not be satisfied!" ”

Lenin snorted. He said: "I will do the work on Comrade Trotsky's side, and the most important thing now is to stabilize the overall situation!" ”

Xiao Si sighed in his heart, and it seemed that he could only pick out and say: "The comrades are quite dissatisfied with Comrade Joseph's recent work, and he has continuously disregarded the overall situation, which has caused an extremely bad impact, and most comrades think that he is not suitable to continue working in the Southwest Front!" ”

Lenin was a little shocked, Xiao Si said all this, he naturally understood that unless Stalin was dismissed from the post of political commissar of the Southwestern Front, Xiao Si would never speak for him.

Lenin thought for a long time, took all aspects into account, and then asked: "Can Comrade Stalin be retained from the post of political commissar of the South-Western Front, and comrades Yegorov and Voroshilov from their posts?" ”

Lenin was ready to abandon the car to protect the commander, and for Stalin, the dismissal of the post of political commissar of the army of the Southwestern Front was definitely a blow to the head, and this blow was too strong and would have caused his prestige to plummet. This was not conducive to Lenin's future inspection and unified arrangements for his successors. For now, the only way to do this is to sacrifice the commander of the Southwestern Front and the political commissar of the First Cavalry Army.

Xiao Si thought about it, this plan was barely acceptable, at least much more decent than the previous exemption of the People's Commissar for Ethnic Affairs. However, he did not immediately agree, but emphasized: "Yes, but at the same time Comrade Joseph must be removed from the post of People's Commissar for National Affairs, he has gone too far on the Jewish question, and Comrade Andrei is quite angry!" ”

Tut......

Lenin smiled bitterly in his heart, he also felt that Stalin was enough to die, and if you wanted to deal with Trotsky, you aimed at Trotsky wholeheartedly and opened fire, and what did you provoke Li Xiaofeng to do on the way? Isn't this making enemies on all sides and bringing about your own destruction!

After thinking about it for a few seconds, he nodded: "Comrade Joseph is really not suitable to stay in that position!" ”

After a preliminary agreement was reached with Sverdlov, Lenin breathed a sigh of relief for the time being, and the problems within the people were more than half solved, although convincing Trotsky would inevitably have to pay a price, but it was a good start.

"Remove Yegorov and Voroshilov from their posts and keep Stalin?"

When Trotsky received the "goodwill" from Lenin, he hesitated, and from the beginning he knew that Stalin was not so easy to get rid of, and that Lenin could not cut off his arm. It is quite possible that this was a matter of Lenin making certain concessions in exchange for his concessions.

"One commander of the Southwestern Front is not enough!" Ulitsky immediately reminded Trotsky, "We should take Voroshilov's post as well!" ”

This time it was Trotsky's turn to smile bitterly, for he knew that this was impossible, that the Southwestern Front had only a few troops, and that the commander and commissar of the First Cavalry Corps were the most important except for the commander, and if he had taken the commander and attacked the commissar of the First Cavalry Army, Lenin would have done it.

Lenin was not ready for a full-fledged war against the Trotskyists, and how could Trotsky be ready for this? His previous foreshadowing and offense were more just building momentum.

After thinking about it, Trotsky decided to take it as soon as he saw it, and in case the talks could not be reached, and the Trotskyists and Leninists really began to merge, it was really not a good thing, and there was no advantage to take advantage of. Now, the benefits are almost there, and it's completely safe.

"People's Commissar for National Affairs, I think Comrade Ulitsky is the most suitable. This comrade has plenty of experience, and I believe that he can pick up this burden! ”

Lenin was also relieved when he received Trotsky's reply, he was really worried that Trotsky would go berserk, and now although he has paid a lot of price, he has managed to maintain stability and the overall situation.

"Comrade Kuibyshev, the situation of the Southwestern Front has not been very good lately, something has happened there that has a very bad impact, and a comrade who is good at resolving contradictions is needed to work there......" (to be continued......
