Trotsky's words amounted to a hundred sentences, and three of the five members of the Politburo had already expressed their unequivocal support for cooperation with the Jews.

If he does not come to his senses quickly, then it is very likely that he will leave an extremely bad impression on the Mentor - you, the big leader of the opposition, Trotsky, have agreed, and you kid is still stubborn? What are you trying to do?

This is no joke, and if it is not done well, it will mean a complete rupture of the relationship between him and the Mentor, which will not benefit him Stalin or the Mentor at all.

Trotsky was probably the only one on the scene who was most happy to see this, which was tantamount to the abolition of one of Lenin's arms, which, if done properly, could greatly reduce Lenin's prestige and influence.

Even if he instigated the mentor to get rid of Stalin, he Trotsky would not be able to reap the benefits of the fisherman. Of course, this is very unlikely, but at least it has torn the relationship between Lenin and Stalin, which is not bad news, right?

It can be said that in which direction things will develop, it all depends on what choice Stalin makes, and if he does not change his mind, the result will certainly not be optimistic. For a while, everyone, including the mentor, was observing Stalin's attitude and wondering how the Daoist would react.

Immediately, Stalin's pressure was enormous, and from his inner feelings, he hated the Jews, but the situation in front of him did not seem to be something he could resist, so what should he choose?

"I reserve my opinion." For a long time, Stalin said very dullly.

This was not the answer that Lenin wanted to see. He had the heart to give Stalin a violent tremble. And then tugged at the object's ear. Ask if this thing's brain was flooded a while ago. Anyway, Master Mentor thinks this thing is ready to resist to the end!

However, Stalin did not finish his words, he glanced at Lenin's face, and saw that there seemed to be a flame on the head of his mentor, and in fright, he quickly poured out the following words: "But if the Politburo unanimously agrees that cooperation with the Jews is necessary." Then I will respect the collective opinion of the Politburo......"

Not to mention this, the flame on Lenin's head disappeared completely, at least seventy or eighty percent smaller, although the mentor was still very dissatisfied with Stalin's stubbornness, but as long as this thing was not clear. He can accept it for the time being. And the current occasion is not suitable for in-depth study, right, you can't let outsiders see the joke, right?

"Then it's decided, convene a plenary meeting of the Politburo to discuss this issue!" Lenin said coldly.

In fact, this result was not only dissatisfied with Lenin, but also with Trotsky. The reason for the temporary insertion of this topic was not only because he felt that it was advantageous to cooperate with the Jews, but also, as mentioned earlier, he found that there was a disagreement within the Leninists. The reason why he jumped out in support of Lenin and refuted Stalin in such a hurry was that he had the idea of sowing discord.

With what he knew about Stalin. He thinks that steel is a cannon battle, just a little bit. And now this cannon is on fire, but it turns out to be a squib, don't you say he's not disappointed?

Lenin, Trotsky, and Stalin were not very happy with the final result, but for Li Xiaofeng, the result was simply too gratifying. Not only did it basically achieve the goal of cooperation with the Jews, but it also indirectly worsened the relationship between Stalin and his mentor.

"Andrei, what you did today is too reckless!" However, on the way back, Sverdlov admonished him in a serious tone, "This matter is too sensitive, you should ask me before you report it to Comrade Lenin!" ”

Hiss...... Li Xiaofeng took a breath, he couldn't understand what Xiao Si meant, could it be that Xiao Si was dissatisfied with him and felt that someone was making small moves behind his back? Among friends, partners and collaborators, the most feared thing is duality and disunity.

Li Xiaofeng still attaches great importance to the relationship with Xiao Si, and hurriedly explained: "Comrade Yakov, it's not that I don't want to tell you first, but this matter is too sensitive. After telling you, let's go to Comrade Lenin together, will he misunderstand you? I really don't dare tell you about this until I understand his attitude, otherwise I ......"

Sverdlov stopped him and shook his head, saying: "I didn't mean that, if you had told me in advance about your cooperation with the Jews, then I would never have agreed with you to go to Comrade Lenin so rashly...... This matter is too sensitive, look at today, how suspenseful! There are some things that cannot be done, and even if you have to say them, you must be well prepared, you are too reckless! ”

Li Xiaofeng thought about it and thought that Xiao Si's criticism was reasonable. Before, he was still swearing to teach Pavel a lesson, so that the guy was fully prepared before he could go to the mentor to talk about something. But when it came to the end, he forgot all about the preparations as soon as he was excited and nervous. He didn't need to be so reckless and reckless at all.

"You're right, I'm really too reckless," Li Xiaofeng said very sincerely, "Actually, I was doing some preparatory work before, and I didn't expect to talk about this issue today." According to my estimates, I will inform you and Comrade Lenin after the preparations have been made a little while...... But as you can see, things have changed today, and the idiot of Klimante has ruined the whole plan and made a fundamental change in the situation...... To put it mildly, the situation is now quite unfavorable for us, and if Frunze's troops do not hurry south, the situation will become very complicated...... So. At this juncture, I can only take a little risk! ”

Sverdlov was silent, the current situation is indeed very bad, although in the previous meeting, everyone brainstormed and seemed to have come up with a solution to the problem, and the central government also showed cautious optimism about this, believing that the strategy of luring the enemy to the north was feasible.

However, to tell the truth, after thinking about it calmly, a fool can find that the strategy of luring the enemy to the north can only be said to be better than nothing, and it can only be said that there is no way to do it. Whether it can be successful or not. And can you avoid those terrible side effects. It's all unknown.

In this case. It is understandable for someone to be a little impulsive and reckless, after all, his starting point is also for the interests of the party, isn't it? At least Sverdlov prefers to work with this kind of person who cares about the big picture, and if someone hides and doesn't report it, then he has to be a little more wary of someone.

Thinking of this, Sverdlov let out a long sigh: "In the final analysis, it is still the wrong use of people. If I had listened to your advice last time, I wouldn't have used that Klimant idiot! ”

For Sverdlov's exclamation. Li Xiaofeng was rather speechless, and the last time the Military Commission was discussing who to send to lead the military work in Luhansk, he was vehemently opposed to Stalin's nomination of Kliment. As a traverser, he naturally knows how cheating Voroshilov is, in addition to playing crowd tactics, in addition to the courage of the horseman, the biggest ability is to pat the horse.

To hand over such a strategically important place like Luhansk is tantamount to digging a hole for yourself. So he was strongly opposed to this appointment at that time, and almost PK with Stalin.

But at that time, most people, including Sverdlov, did not listen to him. Stunned to hand over Lugansk to that idiot. Anyway, as soon as he thought of this, Li Xiaofeng was so depressed that he wanted to vomit blood. But is Xiao Si and him an iron brother, can he still scold Xiao Si?

So he could only say: "The situation was that Comrade Joseph exerted considerable pressure, and Comrade Lenin also hoped that you would make him ...... You can't be blamed for this, but you can only blame Klimant for being too angry! ”

In fact, it was not only Li Xiaofeng who was angry and wanted to vomit blood, but also Stalin, who was the most angry, depressed, and crazy about the Luhansk fiasco. It was he who strongly supported Voroshilov's ascension to power, and he hoped that Voroshilov would win a beautiful victory, so that his face would shine, and it would also be convenient for him to expand his influence in the Military Commission.

Well, Voroshilov will just pit him to death! He was disgraced and ridiculed by Trotsky in the Military Commission.

"What the hell are you doing? Do you know how passive and humiliating the Tao makes me? "If it weren't for the telephone line, Stalin would have wanted to slap Voroshilov's big mouth.

Even if Voroshilov was trained to be like his grandson, he did not dare to blow up Stalin, so he could only admit his mistake and promise not to make an example, "Comrade Joseph, this is really just an accident. The soldiers of the Red Tenth Army are all good, and we decided to regain our strength and fight a shameful turnaround......"

Before he could finish speaking, Stalin interrupted him: "I hope so!" But I warn you that it is not enough to just turn over the battle, do you know how to characterize your mistakes at the Central Military Commission today? Comrade Lenin himself said it - you are primarily responsible for the defeat. Do you know what that means? ”

What does that mean? Voroshilov was about to be scared out of his urine, and he was mainly responsible, which meant that he was alone in the black cauldron of defeat. What kind of mistake is this, it is possible to shoot him if he doesn't get it!

At that time, Voroshilov wanted to cry, and hurriedly asked Stalin for help: "Comrade Joseph, you know me, the defeat of Lugansk is mainly determined by objective reasons, the enemy is much stronger than we think......"

As soon as he heard this, Stalin became even more angry, he could intercede for Voroshilov in the Military Council under the pretext that the enemy was too strong, but he would never accept that the goods used such a ridiculous excuse to fool him. Nima, your kid's attitude is very improper! How did you fail, do you really think that Lao Tzu doesn't know the way? You want to kill me with this kind of that our army doesn't work hard, but the enemy has Gundam, you want to die!

Immediately, Stalin scolded: "Comrade Klimant, I see that your attitude is very improper, you have not learned the lessons of failure at all, and you have not realized where your problems are!" If this goes on, I think you're in a lot of danger! ”

If Voroshilov was only scared out of urine just now, now the and urine are flowing together, at least he is half cold, anyway, he only heard one meaning from Stalin's words - Lao Tzu is very dissatisfied with you!

As a guilty man, Voroshilov had to pay attention to Stalin's attitude, and if Stalin was not satisfied with him either, he would be finished in that minute. Immediately, the thing began to correct the mistake with a crying voice: "Comrade Joseph, I confess to you. I admit all my mistakes to you. It was my carelessness to underestimate the enemy. It was I who failed your hopes. I am guilty, and I repent......"

"Shut up, fool!"

Stalin's anger seemed to have been made even more so just now, of course, but in fact it was not like that, and after Voroshilov told the truth, he was somewhat happy.

That's right, it's pleasure. Stalin's personality was quite complex, and he was cold-blooded and cruel to his enemies, almost merciless; And for his subordinates, this future supreme does not necessarily have much tenderness.

For those subordinates who are not strong in their work ability or whose work attitude does not satisfy him, even if these people are loyal dogs, he will not hesitate to draw an iron whip and whip them fiercely. He was glad to see these fools trembling and begging for mercy under his iron whip, which gave him a greater sense of control than ever before.

Now, for example, Voroshilov was comfortable with Stalin on his knees begging for mercy, and he just liked the feeling of conquest. Of course. If Voroshilov really had no value, Stalin would have more than just whipped with an iron whip. He's going to just kill that idiot.

Voroshilov should be said to be relatively lucky, and now he still has the value of use, otherwise this goods will not be much better than the fate of Shao Mianwu and Ordzhonikidze later. As an important figure in the army of Stalin's faction, he was quite useful as a pawn, at least until Stalin found a new one.

So he was only humiliated by Stalin, and after letting Comrade Iron vent his anger, Stalin still pointed out a clear way for this goods: "Although Comrade Lenin has already defined your mistakes, you are not without a way to live." On the one hand, you must actively carry out the orders of the Central Committee, fight a vigorous guerrilla war around Luhansk, and do everything you can to delay the enemy around Luhansk, even if your 10th Army is completely defeated. This is a dead order, and there are no conditions to speak of...... What the? Are you understaffed? Weapons, ammunition and food and grass are also insufficient? I'm telling you, I don't care about this, I don't care what methods and means you use, you must drag the enemy for me for half a month, not even a second! ”

This first point made Voroshilov half cold, he couldn't think of any way to realize Stalin's strategic intentions for the time being, but steel had already said it to death, and if he didn't agree, there was really only a dead end. For the sake of his life, he could only agree.

"Don't think that if you say yes, it's okay!" Stalin immediately smashed Voroshilov's luck mentality, "If you can't complete the task, you will be killed!" And this is only the first and most basic one, if you can't do it, you don't want to come back to see me! ”

Stalin deliberately paused before saying the second: "Secondly, with regard to the responsibility for your previous failures, I must say that your introspection is still not in place, and you simply do not recognize where the real mistakes are!" I am disappointed and angry at your unrepentant attitude! ”

On the other end of the phone line, Voroshilov almost rolled his eyes when he fell to the ground, he thought that Stalin was holding back to kill him, otherwise, how could he reflect on it? Do you really want to keep all the pots and black pots on your own head? If so, is that different from looking for death?

Anyway, Voroshilov felt that the future was dark, and he had the heart to defect to the White Army. However, this thing is really not politically intelligent, or he completely misunderstood Stalin's real intentions. Think about it, as Stalin's important pawn in the army, will Stalin give up on him until the last resort?

And now it is far from the time of last resort, and even at the previous meeting, the mentor helped and diluted the mud, although he also said: "Comrade Klimante is mainly responsible for the failure." But he didn't say he would be held accountable, did he?

It is important to understand that in the political arena, there is an essential difference between being responsible and being held accountable. You're welcome, it's not terrible to be responsible, no one is perfect, no one is wrong! You just have a lot of responsibility, it's hard to write, but as long as you don't hold it accountable, you have a bullshit!

Therefore, the reason why Stalin once again mentioned that Voroshilov's introspection was not deep enough, and that the introspection was not in place to the point, was actually to remind this idiot.

Think about it, Voroshilov took the initiative to take responsibility before, even if Stalin was dissatisfied, how could he be dissatisfied? And now, Stalin, uncharacteristically, continues to say things about it, that is, he is reminding Voroshilov: "Boy, be sober!" Admit to me your true mistake, this attitude is right. But you can't say that to the organization, no, you kid wants to die, I don't want to abandon my son! ”

Actually, you don't need to abandon children! Comrade Lenin said that you are mainly responsible for your mistakes, and this is also true, isn't it? If you are really proud of the enemy, it is indeed your fault! But in my opinion Stalin, your main mistake can not be pride and underestimation of the enemy!

Stalin coughed and said with a smile: "I think your main problem is that you have not clearly understood the destructive role of the counter-revolutionaries in the revolution, and have not done a good job of purging the revolution. In the 10th Army, there were a large number of counter-revolutionaries, who were rampantly sabotaging the revolution, which led to the defeat of Luhansk! The defeat of Luhansk was not a defeat in the war, but a defeat in the infiltration and sabotage of the counter-revolutionaries! ”

Speaking of this, Stalin paused slightly, and sneered: "Therefore, you must deeply understand this point and do a good job in the work of purging the rebellion, only by purging the counter-revolutionaries in the Tenth Army without leaving any behind, can you truly reflect on your mistakes!" (To be continued......)
