323 hesitant Luo Jiangke

Sverdlov was speechless about the concerns of his mentor, in his opinion, now that the initiative is completely in his own hands, with the support of hundreds of thousands of ** people, there is no need to care too much about the Soviets. If the Soviets were stubborn, they could have been disbanded, and the masses were already extremely impatient with them anyway.

In Sverdlov's opinion, as long as the party is in power, there is no need to care about those red tape things at all, he really wants to persuade the mentor, don't care about the trivial things, the mentor! Let's go bare-chested!

However, when Sverdlov saw the unshakable eyes of the Mentor, he knew that it would be useless to say anything, the Mentor had already drawn the bottom line, and he would never back down again. In desperation, Sverdlov sighed, walked briskly out of Lenin's office, and immediately conveyed the supreme instructions of the Mentor.

Lenin's directive was conveyed very quickly, and was soon received by the middle and lower party members who were active in the streets, and to be honest, the comrades at the grassroots level were somewhat disappointed, and since last evening they had been waiting, waiting for the moment when the Provisional Government would be dealt with in a flood of mountains at the order of the Mentor.

Especially in the morning, when the Soviet Socialist ministers categorically rejected the reasonable demands of the masses and continued to stand on the side of the Provisional Government against the will of the people, they really wanted to leap up and completely destroy this increasingly disgusting institution that sells dog meat on the head of a sheep, and claims to be close to the people, but is anti-people in action.

And now, according to the orders of the Mentor, although the operation can be carried out, the goal and purpose is to seize power in the hands of the Provisional Government, and then give it to the Soviets, who are not much better, which makes many people puzzled.

"That's!" At that time, some grassroots party members scolded, "We paid bloody sacrifices to seize power, and then stupidly handed over power to the Soviets, the raccoon dog of the Provisional Government." Hmph, what's the point? Is it to let the old men and old ladies of the Soviets give up their hands and return to them the power that we have so hard seized? Isn't that crazy? ”。

Not only the party members couldn't figure it out, but the masses couldn't figure it out, and even Luo Jiangke couldn't figure it out when he learned the news. If he had stood in Lenin's position and had thousands of troops under his command to drive him, he would not have been able to bird the Soviets, and would have used the force in his hands to kill those boys.

"What does Lenin mean by that?" He asked Guchkov.

Guchkov thought for a moment and sneered: "Probably Lenin wanted to be the son of the * and set up the archway, right?" Their so-called democrats and intellectuals liked this tune the most. ”

Luo Jiangke nodded, agreeing with Guchkov's statement. Although he was very disdainful of Lenin's indecision, he was secretly relieved, and he even knew that it was very good news, and if the Bolsheviks did not listen to the dissuasion of the Soviets and forcibly seized power, and then handed it over to the Soviets, who in turn handed it back to the government, then it would be a great pleasure.

If this kind of funny and nonsensical thing really happened, it would undoubtedly be a heavy blow to the Bolsheviks and the radical rebels, and it would greatly weaken their prestige among the mob. It is conceivable that the fooled rebels will absolutely abandon them, and the rebels without the support of the mob are simply not justified!

Luo Jiangke touched his big belly with satisfaction, leaned comfortably on the back of the sofa for the first time, and said very relaxedly: "Ha Luha, the rebels are messing with themselves, our opportunity has come!" You immediately contact the Soviets and tell them that they must hold on, as long as they firmly reject the unreasonable demands of the mob, and soon we can take control of the situation and get Russia back on the right path! ”

Guchekov can naturally think of it, but he is not as broad-minded and fat as Luo Fatzi, and he will greatly overestimate the significance of this news to them. He even suspected that this was a smoke bomb released by Lenin in order to confuse them.

"Why do you say that?"

Looking at the somewhat ignorant Luo Jiangke, Guchekov sighed in his heart, one general is incompetent and exhausts the three armies! Luo Fatzi, you are also a long-term veteran of the political arena, how can you be confused by such a simple fake news? Who was Lenin, who was able to fool the minority Bolsheviks into a majority, and expelled the majority Mensheviks from the party, you can't believe him on that basis!

Guchekov patiently explained: "I think this is Lenin's trick, this is probably an empty slogan, if his Bolsheviks really seize power, then he will probably forget what he said at the beginning!" ”

Luo Jiangke was a little unconvinced: "This is a declaration issued in front of hundreds of thousands of people, and Lenin can't even admit it if he wants to!" ”

Guchekov was anxious: "Of course you can!" At that time, the Bolsheviks, not to mention the power in their hands, had the confidence not to admit their debts, and they could have pretended to hand over power to the Soviets, but as long as the Soviets did not accept it, or were ready to return it to us, then they could have found another excuse to overthrow the Soviets, and who could stop them at that time? ”

Luo Jiangke's eyes widened with his mouth open, and he carefully thought about every word Guchkov said, and only after a long time did he sigh: "Lenin really can't be underestimated, there are endless tricks, and people can't guard against it!" If we continue to wait, I am afraid that there will be no place to die! ”

Guchekov breathed a sigh of relief, he had just been frightened by the attitude of the fat man, if this fat man was really ready to sit back optimistically and wait for the Soviets to return power, then he really wanted to cry without tears.

"So what should we do now?" Luo Jiangke humbly asked for advice.

Guchekov froze his expression and said with great seriousness and firmness: "Immediately mobilize the army and immediately extinguish the Bolshevik rebellion!" ”

Luo Jiangke spread his hands helplessly and sighed: "I want to too!" But Brusilov, the bastard, suddenly resigned, and how many people can I mobilize without his prestige? ”

Guchkov immediately reminded: "Isn't there still General Kornilov?" As long as he is willing to act, why worry about big things? ”

As soon as he heard the name Kornilov, Luo Jiangke's face suddenly changed, and he scolded with extreme indignation: "Don't mention that bastard! That despicable villain is a white-eyed wolf...... A few months ago he was just a small lieutenant general, and if I hadn't promoted him, he would be where he is today...... But look at how he reciprocated my kindness, pretending not to see anything at such a critical moment, and when I called him personally, he dared not answer! Bastard bastard! ”

He had no doubt that if Kornilov appeared in front of Fat Luo, the fat man would immediately turn into a ferocious Tibetan mastiff and tear Kornilov to pieces.

After venting, Luo Jiangke panted and held on to the table, the blood-red bulb eyes were very scary, Guchkov settled down, and persuaded him: "Your Excellency, anger and anger will not solve any problems, our enemies have torn off the mask, now you must make up your mind!" ”

Luo Jiangke raised his head and looked at Guchkov in confusion, and asked, "How can you make up your mind?" ”

Guchkov went one step further and whispered: "It's true that Kornilov is a bastard and a villain, but no matter how bad he is, he is better than Lenin, he is our own man after all......"

"Who said he was his own person!" Luo Jiangke once again burst into a rage, waving his fists and roaring loudly: "Promoting a shameless person like him is the biggest stain on my body!" Unsullied!! ”

After being sprayed with saliva in Luo Jiangke, Guchkov took out a handkerchief and wiped it, and continued to persuade patiently: "My Excellency Speaker, even if Kornilov is a bastard, but the blind situation decides, we must reuse this bastard!" There is no other way! ”

Luo Jiangke sighed, sat down on the sofa dejectedly, and said weakly: "Then what do you say to do?" He doesn't answer the phone, what can I do? ”

Guchkov was secretly happy in his heart, and there was a secret door, and he hurriedly said: "People die for money, birds die for food, and they will be given huge profits!" I think Kornilov, the villain, just wants to take the opportunity to reap more benefits, think about it, if Lenin really comes to power, what good will it do him? ”

Luo Jiangke's brows moved, and he asked as if he didn't understand: "Are you saying that he is sitting on the ground and starting the price, if the price I offer can satisfy him, he will immediately dispatch?" ”

"That's it!"

Luo Jiangke's teeth rattled, which showed how angry he was at this time, "This bastard!" It's all at the critical juncture of life and death, and we still have to reap the benefits! Has his conscience been eaten by dogs? ”

Guchkov was silent, but he didn't know what to say, but he just persuaded vigorously: "Your Excellency, you can't lose a big one because of a small one, so why not give him a little benefit!" As long as Lenin's mess with the party can be solved, what is the price to pay! ”

Luo Jiangke kept walking around the desk, and after a long time, he asked in pain, "What do you think that bastard wants?" Do you want money or officials? ”

Guchkov pretended to think for a moment, and said categorically: "From what I know about him, I'm afraid he has no interest in money, I'm afraid he wants officials!" ”

Luo Jiangke began to walk back and forth again, and said angrily as he walked: "I also know that he just wants to be an official!" Hmph, he's really good, he's really good at finding the right time, and now he can't be promoted! ”

After a pause, the fat man asked very distressedly: "What position do you think can be given to him to make him satisfied?" ”

Guchkov suddenly raised his spirits, he knew whether he would succeed or not, he pretended to be thinking a little bit of Luo Jiangke's patience, until this fat man was on the verge of madness, he said: "I'm afraid his plan is not small, at least give him the position of Minister of the Army!" ”

"What!"

Luo Jiangke jumped up, the Minister of War is a very important position in the cabinet, and if he controls this position, he almost controls the personnel power of the Russian Army, from national defense policy to personnel promotion, the Minister of War can speak, if Kornilov is allowed to control this position, he can promote his cronies to key positions one by one, in that case, the Russian Army will be surnamed Kornilov in the future.

Luo Jiangke is not stupid at all, he knows that if Kornilov is allowed to get this important position, with the favor of Britain and France towards him, coupled with his control of the army, then it can almost be announced that as soon as the time comes, Kornilov can easily steal the supreme power in Russia, and he Luo Jiangke will be swept into the trash like garbage!

For Rodenko, who already hated Kornilov, of course he would not accept such a terrible prospect, and without thinking about it, he categorically rejected the proposal: "Absolutely not!" The War Department must not be handed over to this white-eyed wolf! ”

Guchekov was not surprised at all by Rodenko's refusal, if he were Rodenko, he would not have agreed to this plan, and the reason why he mentioned it was actually to have a room for bargaining, what he really wanted to give Kornilov was actually the position of commander-in-chief of the Russian army.

"If you can't make him the Minister of the Army, then at least one Army Commander-in-Chief must be ......"

As the supreme commander of the national army in the dual system of military orders, although the political status of the commander-in-chief of the army is not as high as that of the army minister, he can directly command the troops when he sits in this position. If Kornilov becomes commander-in-chief of the army, he can still further expand his influence in the army, which is extremely disadvantageous to Kornilov.

"The commander-in-chief of the army is too tall too!" The fat man muttered, "I can't rest assured at all that the Russian army is handed over to this white-eyed wolf!" ”

I knew that this would be the case. Guchekov sighed in his heart, and he could only continue to persuade bitterly: "If you don't give him the position of commander-in-chief of the army, I'm afraid he won't make a move, he can wait until Lenin has wiped us all out, and then do ......."

Luo Jiangke immediately interrupted: "How did he do it?" Could it be that he still wants to launch a coup d'état? A martial artist, what politics does he know! ”

"He doesn't need to understand politics! As long as he has an army in his hands! And if Britain and France support him......"

Luo Jiangke was in a cold sweat, and this possibility was what he feared most, and to some extent his defense of Kornilov was still above that of Lenin, at least in his opinion, Lenin was helpless in the international community and had nothing to worry about. Kornilov is different, with the support of Britain and France, he not only has no shortcomings in politics, but is also extremely powerful.

"It is precisely because of this that I don't feel at ease to make him the commander-in-chief of the army!" Luo Jiangke finally said what he feared most, "What if the army is handed over to him, and he not only destroys Lenin, but also sweeps us away with his backhand?" ”

"It's very unlikely!" Guchkov hurriedly relieved General Luo, "He, the commander-in-chief, is nothing at all, without the permission of the Soviets and the cabinet, he can't move a single soldier, what's so terrible?" ”

Luo Jiangke is still very hesitant, although his political vision and political wisdom are not very good, but the gains and losses are still very clear, in order to protect himself, he must be cautious. Although Guchekov seemed to have a point, they were able to deal with the Bolsheviks entirely with the permission of the Soviets, and if the Bolsheviks were eliminated, Kornilov would theoretically not be able to mobilize his troops again.

However, this is only theoretical, and Luo Jiangko has a fear that if Kornilov really has political ambitions and really becomes the commander-in-chief of the army, with his prestige in the army, he will definitely be able to attract a large number of soldiers to serve him. At that time, he was in military power, and it was normal for him not to be a Soviet. For example, Lenin now, with the support of the army, does he need to care too much about the Soviets?

Lenin still attached great importance to the Soviets, and did not want to turn against the Soviets immediately, but his aggressive posture was more to exert pressure on the Soviets in an attempt to force them to change their position. It's just that he didn't expect that the Soviet rightists would be so tough and that they would be on the same page as a needle.

"Tseretiri called again on behalf of the Central Executive Committee of the Soviets," Sverdlov reported solemnly, "and they issued you a most consequential ultimatum demanding that you immediately dissolve the siege of Tavrichher Palace, immediately dissolve the mass processions, and immediately abandon the overthrow of the Provisional Government, or else ......"

Lenin asked angrily: "Otherwise?" Otherwise what do they want? ”

"Otherwise, they will see you as a rebel and will arrest you immediately!"

Lenin smiled, didn't care very much, and said: "Celeteli is really embarrassed to say these shameless words, they are already turtles in the urn, and they dare to say anything about arresting me, what a joke!" ”

Sverdlov immediately said: "Although this is a joke, you must pay attention to it, and we can see from this ultimatum that the Soviets are already firmly on the side of the Provisional Government, that they will never return to the side of the people, and that we should now make up our minds and take drastic measures against them at once!" ”

Lenin thought for a moment and once again rejected Sverdlov's proposal, "It is not appropriate to do so, although their reactionary features have been exposed, but in order to gain more support and understanding among the masses, it is not easy to use force against the Soviets...... Just plug them up in Tavrichher Palace...... What about the Provisional Government? Did Kerensky surrender? ”

Sverdlov sighed: "Kerensky and the caretaker cabinet are surrounded by the masses, and the Winter Palace is now surrounded by the protesting masses, and they have almost no resistance except for the non-commissioned officers who are protecting them. ”

Lenin nodded with satisfaction and ordered: "The time is completely ripe to mobilize the masses to enter the Winter Palace and completely eliminate the Provisional Government!" ”
