34 Poison Scheme

Many Mensheviks, including Tseretieli, felt very bad, and originally thought that Lenin and the Bolsheviks would be devastated by the defeat of the last time, and that the world would be peaceful from then on. But after only ten days, the Bolsheviks gave them a blow in the face in a forceful way.

If the Bolsheviks were allowed to launch a bottom-up campaign within the Soviets to purge them from the ground up, then it is conceivable that soon the Bolsheviks would make a comeback, and on the day they completely controlled the Soviets, that is, the day when the Bolsheviks attacked the Provisional Government for the second time.

Imagine a coup d'état by hundreds of thousands of troops in Petrograd, instigated by the Bolshevik-controlled Soviets, to crush the government into meat sauce without much effort. Then there will be no one, no force, to stop them.

Tseretelli did not like this future at all, so he had to stop the advance of Lenin and the Bolsheviks, didn't you have the idea of fighting the Soviets? Then let's stop you at the source!

The special electoral system of the Soviets determined that there was considerable turnover in this body, and this was the loophole of the Bolsheviks. If this situation of losing elections at any time is abolished, then the Bolsheviks will have nothing to do!

This is the countermeasure that Celeteli came up with, it should be said that it is quite naïve, at least Plekhanov is extremely naïve in this idea, he privately complains to Aksherry Rhod about the fool of Celtetri, he thinks he is a savior, but in fact he is digging his own grave! This idiot will kill us! ”

Aksherro was a little confused, and in his opinion he could not think of a way to subdue the Bolshevik counterattack from the roots.

"He doesn't understand, don't you either?" Plekhanov was furious and roared that to change the electoral system of the Soviets, only the National Congress had this right, and at this sensitive moment, did you ever think about what this meant? ”

Akherry Rod asked ignorantly, what does it mean? ”

Plekhanov screamed that it meant a great reshuffle of power in the Soviets! ”

Aksherry Rode finally understood that Plekhanov was worried, that changing the electoral system would inevitably require the convening of a national congress, and that the convening of a national congress would inevitably require a re-election of national delegates, and that the Bolsheviks were actively infiltrating, and that the consequence of the chain reaction was that if the Bolsheviks could gain an advantage in this election, then the Central Executive Committee of the Soviets would have to change the sky in advance!

"Oh my God!" Akherry broke out in a cold sweat and muttered, "You're right, Celeteli will indeed ruin us!" We must stop him! ”

In this regard, Plekhanov could only smile bitterly, and now it is still useful to say this, although the Central Executive Committee did not immediately vote on Tseretieri's proposal, but if this rumor was broken by Lenin, he would definitely seize the opportunity to put them together. He even thought that Lenin would attack Tseretelli and the Mensheviks - the reactionary Mensheviks, after defecting to the evil reactionary government, did not hesitate to tamper with the Soviet electoral system in order to curb public opinion, to continue to use the Soviets for reactionary activities, and to ensure that they would not be ousted from power by the people, in an attempt to replace democracy with ** and override justice with centralization......

As soon as he thought of the consequences of these terrible attacks, Plekhanov faintly felt a pain in his heart, and what was even more terrible was that this passive situation was caused by them, what a strange thing this is!

"Shall we do it?" Akherriro asked in a panic, "We have to do something, do we want to make a statement in the newspaper......"

"That's useless!" Plekhanov clutched his chest and said bitterly, "That will only make the masses think that we are trying to cover up, and it will only worsen our image!" ”

The old man took a deep breath and said categorically that something had happened, and no matter how much he did it, it would get darker and darker. What we can do is to mobilize the strength of the whole party to take to the streets to carry out political propaganda and try to win the hearts and minds of the people with the Bolsheviks! ”

Speaking of this, the old man breathed a sigh of relief, but fortunately we still had a certain advantage in this area, and the Bolsheviks could not operate openly, which made them unable to use many means......"

Aksherrod's face showed embarrassment, and Plekhanov wondered? Did I say it? Haven't we already outlawed the Bolsheviks? At least nominally! ”

Aksherrod sighed and probably only nominally banned them, but in fact you should have seen that the activities of the Bolsheviks were quite rampant, and they were much more than us in terms of political propaganda, otherwise Tseretiri would not have come up with that bad idea to save the situation! ”

"Did the Bolsheviks do it all?" Plekhanov asked in surprise.

Aksherry smiled wryly and spread his hands, they have a propaganda tool called radio, which is constantly broadcasting to the masses from morning to night, and Lenin has been speaking on the radio almost every day these days......"

Plekhanov hurriedly asked, and then what? ”

Aksherry said hesitantly, all he could say was that the radio was so effective that the masses in district after district began to cling to them, the army began to shake greatly, and many barracks showed signs of mutiny......"

"Bastard!" Plekhanov slapped the table heavily and shouted angrily, "Didn't you just watch Lenin incite the masses and not arrest him, and the arrest warrant was issued a long time ago?" "Don't skip words.

"We don't have him there." Akherry said wistfully.

"It's possible!" Plekhanov asked incredulously, "Could it be that the people of the telegraph and the company are eating dry food and going to look for it along the wires?" ”

Aksherillo was speechless and said that the Bolsheviks used radio. ”

Plekhanov was about to vomit blood, and the old man walked around anxiously, and said irritablely, the radio must always have a receiving tool! Destroy the loudspeakers in the streets, confiscate the listening tools, I don't believe they can hear the radio waves with their ears! Lenin must not be allowed to continue walking the plague! ”

Aksherrod sighed and said we wanted to do it too, but it didn't work out very well. Although the loudspeakers in the streets have been eradicated, the means of reception hidden among the people cannot be confiscated at all, and the masses simply ignore the bans we have issued and still listen to the Bolshevik broadcasts in private, and as for the army, they do not listen to us at all, they simply listen to it openly. There's nothing we can do about it! ”

Plekhanov's head was bruised, and on the day the armistice was first signed, he thought that Lenin was still too young, too simple and fell into his plan. But when Simonov's army marched into Petrograd that night, he realized that his proud disciples had seen through his plan at all, and even pretended to be fooled and came to govern others in the same way as others. Although the government and the Soviets took control of Petrograd, the popular will was lost, and not even a single Bolshevik and district union top brass were caught.

At that time, although he thought it was not good, he thought that the Bolshevik army had been defeated, and that Lenin should not think of doing anything at all in the short term, and that if the government could make full use of it, as long as it won a few battles at the front, perhaps all the problems would not exist.

But soon he was struck one blow after another, first by the extremely nonsensical dismissal of the 1st Machine Gun Regiment and the Petro Pavlov Regiment on the Hermitage Square, then by prying into the corners of the Soviets, and now by hearing that the Bolsheviks still had such sharp propaganda weapons. All of this almost implies that he is bound to fail!

Plekhanov covered his chest in pain, he didn't dare to open his mouth at all, as if his heart would jump out of one mouth. The old man's painful expression frightened Axheri and began to call the doctor, but before the doctor arrived, the old man had already fallen to the ground.

After intense rescue, Plekhanov, who had a heart attack, was robbed again and again. However, the old man's condition is quite bad, according to the doctor, I am afraid it is very bad, and it is difficult to say whether he will survive this year.

"Leave the doctor's word blank!" The old man called Aksherry Lot as soon as he woke up, rejected the other party's offer to let him rest, and said weakly and stubbornly that the situation was very bad! Now we can't hesitate any longer, we have to take measures! ”

"But ......"

As soon as Aksherrod wanted to, he was interrupted by the old man Don't interrupt me, listen to me, the first thing to bear the brunt of is to arrest Lenin and eliminate him, and the Bolsheviks will no longer be a problem. You must tell the government that you must pay attention to Lenin, who is an even more dangerous enemy than the German devils! Be sure to destroy him! Secondly, stop caring about public opinion, we must immediately transfer the hundreds of thousands of troops entrenched in Petrograd, without the support of force, all problems are not a problem! These are the top priorities, do it now, quickly! ”

While Plekhanov was trying his best to advise the government from his hospital bed, the government he had high hopes for was probably going to disappoint the old man. They didn't have much interest in beating the Bolshevik reservoir dog, and a large part of his energy was devoted to infighting and attrition.

Rodenko and Lyvov were thinking about regaining power from the Socialist Party and Kerensky, and they were forced to make great concessions at the last spoils conference, and now they are distressed by such concessions.

"Kerensky must be pressurized!" Luo Jiangke said indignantly, "This despicable villain, taking advantage of the limelight in February, took advantage of the limelight in February and took away all the benefits step by step. And we, the politicians who occupy a dominant position in the State Duma, are squeezed into the corner by him, a clown. I can't stand this situation anymore! ”

The problem, Levov said, is that now he is more popular with the Soviets than we are. In the eyes of the Soviets, Kerensky was a human being, and we were untrustworthy outsiders. ”

Luo Jiangke said impatiently that the Soviets should be left alone, they were an illegal institution, and sooner or later I would dissolve them. And don't you have it, they are not worth mentioning at all, they are already shaky under the blows of the Bolsheviks. As long as we have the army on hand, we can solve them without much effort! ”

Lvov sighed and said The problem is, we don't have an army anymore. Kornilov is not of the same mind as us, and was originally at the mercy of our troops who suffered heavy losses in the last battle......"

Luo Jiangke lifted all the documents on the desk to the ground, and he felt a pain in his liver when he mentioned this matter, "Kornilov, this despicable villain, if I had been such a good person, I shouldn't have promoted him back then!" We have to find other people to cooperate, and I don't believe that there are no truly patriotic officers in a huge Russia! ”

It's a pity that in today's Russia, there are really few people like Luo Jiangke said about loving ** officials, and even if they do, they can't reach the height of Kornilov, and they can't sing and make peace with Luo Fat. More people who are knowledgeable about current affairs will only choose good birds to perch on, and they are more willing to cooperate with powerful people, such as Kornilov.

"Ravl," Denikin cheerfully broke into Kornilov's office, waving a telegram in his hand, saying that we have the support of another military district, and that according to the current situation, it will not be long before all the soldiers of Russia will be on our side. ”

Kornilov took the telegram from Denikin's hand, glanced at it casually, and then threw it aside, seemingly uninterested in the flattering message.

"Up?" Denikin asked, "I don't think your emotions are too high." Isn't that something to be happy about? ”

"To be happy about." Kornilov did not look happy at all, he sighed Since the day before yesterday, we have a drawer of messages like this, this is useful for these waste papers? If they really support our operation, they can simply transfer their troops according to our orders. Does it work? ”

Denikin also felt bored all of a sudden, indeed, a lot of messages to express loyalty were received, but more people just talked about it, but in fact they were waiting. Although Denikin can understand their plight, who will bet on politics casually? But watching and watching does not help the situation, what they need most at the moment is troops, without sufficient force, they simply cannot fully control Petrograd, those hundreds of thousands of troops hang over their heads like the sword of Dharmalic, they may fall at any time, and if they are not solved, it is all empty talk.

Kornilov rubbed his temples and asked, "Are those cowards still unwilling to obey orders?" "Don't skip words.

"No!" Denikin was angry at the mention of this, "They completely refused our orders, refused to return to the front, refused to leave Petrograd, refused to communicate with us. It's incorrigible! ”

"I've long been incorrigible with them, so I have to get these hundreds of thousands of cowards away!" Kornilov scolded, "Now the front line is very tight, and hundreds of thousands of them are hiding in the capital on vacation, what the hell!" ”

Denikin's question is what the front line looks like? Was the German offensive blocked? ”

"Block?" Kornilov smiled bitterly, "Our Prime Minister Kerensky used up the last bit of vitality in the last major counteroffensive, and our defense line is full of holes, and the Germans can easily tear it apart if they want to!" Unless these hundreds of thousands of lazy people in Petrograd suddenly get their senses, our capital will soon be owned by the Germans! ”

Kornilov's frustration was obvious, as a soldier, he was willing to defend his country, but he could not afford to cook without rice, and he had nothing to do in the face of the Germans' pressing steps.

"It's not impossible!" Denikin suddenly said, "We can get those slackers back on the battlefield!" ”

Kornilov was taken aback and said in surprise Maybe? ”

Denikin sneered, of course it could be! "As he spoke, he spread out the map and pointed at it, pointing at it Since our defense line on the front line is full of holes, then it is completely unnecessary to continue to hold on to the original front, we must retreat, we must abandon some cities, for example, Riga !"

Riga is the largest city in Latvia and the capital of Latvia after independence, and more importantly, Riga is not far from Petrograd, if Riga is lost, it can be said that the whole of Petrograd is a door open, and the consequences of this are obvious.

Kornilov looked at Denikin dumbfounded, not daring that this crazy idea came from the mouth of his friend, he was stunned and said Are you crazy? Riga is lost, our entire line of defense is about to collapse, the Germans can drive straight in, and then Petrograd, Moscow will be in danger! ”

"No, it's dangerous!" Denikin licked his lips and said with some madness, but only danger can stimulate the nerves of those bastards, and make them important to us soldiers. That's when they wake up! ”

Kornilov understood Denikin's idea, which was simply a kind of kidnapping, using the Germans' troops to kidnap the public opinion of the whole of Russia, and it should be said that this idea was extremely crazy, because if he was not careful, he would play with fire and harm himself.

Denikin was getting more and more excited, and continued to point on the map and say that there is another benefit to abandoning Riga and retracting the defensive line. The troops who obey the orders are closer to the capital, which will be a great threat to the cowards, and we can easily move the army to eradicate them if necessary! ”

Kornilov said hesitantly, but it would take a lot of troops, maybe hundreds of thousands or hundreds of thousands, and if such a number of troops were drawn from the front, then the defense line would probably collapse again, and then we would have to fight the Germans under Petrograd? ”

Denikin laughed madly and said yes? At that time, the deserters who had no way to retreat could only fight to the death with the Germans, and they were not reluctant to leave Petrograd? Then we'll fulfill their wishes! ”
