Moscow, Comintern office building.

Beginning in March 1919, with the relocation of the capital of the Bolsheviks to Moscow, the headquarters of the Comintern was also moved. In this boxy, five-story building, representatives of the world's communist parties gathered, and in a sense, it was the core of the world's communist leadership.

Zinoviev sat in his office, his face as black as the bottom of a pot, and Kamenev had embarrassed him at the plenary meeting of the Central Executive Committee of the Comintern that had ended earlier. The stinky stone in the pit was sarcastic to him, and mocked him as the chairman with impunity.

Why was Zinoviev ridiculed and ridiculed? The fundamental reason was the struggle between the Trotskyists and the Leninists, and he was the representative of the Leninists in the Comintern (there was absolutely no one, because the focus of the Mentor was on the domestic level, and a Comintern that had just set up the stage was really not worth paying too much attention to), and as a representative of the Trotskyists, he was naturally at odds with Kamenev.

What's more, the two sides were not very happy about the core issues of the world revolution before, but now Kamenev and the Trotskyists saw an opportunity and naturally wanted to make the pie look good.

What chances? It was nothing more than the matter of Auschwitz, when a certain immortal drew the main forces of the Communist Party of Czechoslovakia to Poland without consulting the Comintern, and caused a shocking turmoil, and the world public opinion was quite unfavorable to them.

In any case, many newspapers had already begun to point fingers at Sang and Huai, and began to target the Bolsheviks and Communism. The words are quite ugly.

Kamenev was originally on the wrong path with Li Xiaofeng, and now in his opinion, someone stabbed the big basket, so he naturally wanted to take advantage of the topic, and at the meeting he roared violently: "This is the most shameful scandal, who gave Andre. Petrovich is so bold, who made him do nonsense...... The Comintern must pay attention to the crimes against humanity that took place in Auschwitz, and it must clarify as much as possible, and it is very necessary to hold those responsible accountable! ”

And that's not all. After attacking Li Xiaofeng in a vague way. He immediately took aim at Zinoviev and rebuked: "Comrade President, I would like to know your attitude towards this qiē, and even more so what role you played in this extremely disgraceful incident. Whether you instructed or indulged Andrey. Petrovich did these horrific events! ”

Faced with Kamenev's questioning. Zinoviev is really a wolf bèi and nest fire. He didn't know that Li Xiaofeng had come up with such a moth, and if he knew that someone had such a big guts, he would not lend the name of the Comintern to that guy to use if he was killed. As for the nest fire. That's even simpler, his relationship with a certain immortal is also quite bad, if it weren't for Lenin's face, he wouldn't have been a bird. But now, someone has made such a big basket, and the black pot even wants him to carry it, do you say that people are angry or not?

What's worse is that being angry is angry, he also has to help a certain immortal exonerate and help a certain immortal say good things, do you say that he is aggrieved or not?

"Comrade Lenin, Comrade Andrei caught me off guard and plunged my work into a total passivity. I don't think Kamenev will give up......"

Speaking of which, there was only one way out of the pie face, when he rushed into Lenin's office in a rage, and gave a small report to him, ready to give a little color to a certain immortal who was looking for trouble. However, he was soon disappointed, and the master did not show any anger or dissatisfaction, on the contrary, his old man did not think it was a matter at all, and sent a few words of comfort to Zinoviev. When the pie face walked out of Lenin's office, there was a feeling of crying, laughing and inexplicable.

"Don't you need to make it clear to Gregory?" Krupskaya asked, a little worried.

Lenin smiled and shook his head, and quickly returned his attention to the pile of essays on his desk, which even Klopskoya was puzzled about, and asked: "If Gregory's temper is not reassured, he may ...... point."

Lenin sighed and said: "I know his personality, but it is for this reason that I cannot tell him the truth." He has too many careful eyes, once he knows that all the attacks and accusations are nonsense, the first thing he thinks of is how to make a profit for himself, and he can't let him spoil a big deal! ”

Krupskaya smiled bitterly, she used to think that after the victory of the revolution, everything would be good, and everything would become very smooth, but when the Bolsheviks really came to the Kremlin, she realized how ridiculous that imagination was.

For example, in this turmoil, Li Xiaofeng informed Lenin before the action, clarifying his plan and methods, and it can be said that Lenin and Sverdlov knew very well what a certain immortal wanted to do. Although they expressed concern about this overly risky plan, they still agreed to it based on their trust and understanding of a certain immortal.

The result was very smooth, not only rescuing the Jews, but also taking the Entente and the Poles into the gutter. It's not just those two, looking at what Li Xiaofeng and Lenin mean now, they even have to pit the Trotskyists.

To be honest, Krupskaya didn't like to calculate his own people at all, which made him feel guilty. If the relationship between comrades has become like this, then who else can be trusted? What else does revolution mean?

Lenin, of course, knew what Krupskaya was thinking, but he did not see it that way, not because he was a conspirator, nor because he was hard-hearted, but because he believed that the so-called revolution was a struggle in the first place, and that this struggle was not only against the enemy, but for all Bolsheviks it was necessary to go through a brutal struggle for the survival of the fittest, and only those with the strongest willpower and ability could go to the end!

For Lenin, this was an inevitable process, and an idea like Krupskaya's did more harm than good, and it was a woman's kindness! Survival of the fittest is a law of nature, not only for the enemy, but also for the Bolsheviks!

This was true not only for Lenin, but also for Trotsky. Otherwise, after Li Xiaofeng made a mistake, their representative Kamenev should not be a murderous shouting and shouting to kill, but should try his best to save and help the young comrades.

Let's put it this way, the Leninists and the Trotskyists are both half-hearted, and neither of them is a fuel-efficient lamp, and if Lenin is a little softer, Trotsky will not think anything good, let alone think that this is any kind of class friendship. He was afraid that Lenin had broken his brain. It feels like this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Like now. Seeing that Li Xiaofeng had made a big mistake, Trotsky immediately gave instructions to his elite generals: "We must seize this opportunity!" ”

With Trotsky's clear instructions, Kamenev and his ilk would have been so active and proactive. For the next three to five days. The criticism or criticism of Li Xiaofeng is higher and higher. The tide is quite scary.

"The Central Committee can no longer afford to ignore this. The impact of the incident is too bad and too intolerable. If decisive measures are not taken, the high prestige of our Bolsheviks in the world will be ruined by a grain of rat! ”

An emergency meeting of the Central Committee at the request of the Trotskyists. Trotsky, who had just hurried back from the front, finally showed his butcher's knife and gave a knife to a certain immortal.

The boss has spoken, and the younger brothers naturally can't be idle, from Bukharin to Rykov to Krestinsky one by one to take turns firing, seeing that the posture has the meaning of gangbanging a certain immortal.

Lenin, Sverdlov, and Stalin were silent in contrast to the Trotskyist enthusiasm, well, or elation, and sat at the top of the table, looking at the nose, nose, mouth, heart, and heart. It was as calm as if it wasn't their people who were being beaten by the group now.

Why? It's very simple, the Trotskyists want to send them to the door to find abuse, they want to die, why stop them? When they've had enough, they'll just slap them in the face.

"Comrade Lenin, don't you have any problem with this?" Kamenev was the first to point the finger at Lenin, and it seems that he has a long-standing grudge against his mentor, and this time he is ready to take revenge.

Lenin didn't really want to deal with Kamenev, he was already so disappointed in this guy, seeing him was like seeing a piece of, who wants to take care of a piece of?

But now that this guy has come to the door to seek abuse, Lenin does not mind taking Trotsky to the gutter at his word.

"Do I need any comments?" Lenin asked rhetorically with playfulness.

When Kamenev heard this, it was like a chicken blood, he felt that Lenin had nothing to say, and it was his turn to give Lenin a little look. Almost as soon as Lenin's words fell, he could not wait to say: "Of course you have to have an opinion, Andrei. Petrovich's behavior was so bad that it ruined the prestige of the party and disgraced the revolutionaries! As his introduction and guide to joining the party, and as the leader of the party and the state, you just watched and did nothing? Don't say anything? ”

This was almost an accusation against Lenin, and suddenly the atmosphere in the venue changed, and the Leninists who had been silent before raised their heads and looked at Kamenev indifferently, and the big war was about to break out!

In the face of Kamenev's provocation, Lenin still had a calm expression, and he asked with interest: "It has ruined the prestige of the party and disgraced the revolutionaries." Comrade Kamenev, I have to say, this is quite a serious accusation! No, you are already not just accused, but already convicted and sentenced. Let me ask you, who made these charges and conclusions? ”

Kamenev did not notice that Lenin had set a trap in his words, and in his exuberance, he crashed into it, he jerked open his briefcase, took out the newspapers, pointed to the words and photographs on them, and exclaimed: "These conclusions are known and seen!" All the major European newspapers have published a detailed article about Andrei. Petrovich's atrocities, from words to photographs, is this something to be denied? ”

As he spoke, he waved the newspapers excitedly, and loudly accused a certain immortal of his crimes. When all eyes were on Kamenev, the guy felt an unprecedented pleasure, and he secretly glanced at Lenin, who was "hanging" aside, to see how ugly the Mentor's face would be......

Was Lenin's face ugly?

No, he didn't have any expression, so calm that it made people feel a cool air rushing to the top of his head. How terrible Lenin was in this state is clear to those who know him, at least Trotsky very well. Immediately he felt bad. At that moment, his mind spun rapidly, carefully examining Kamenev's previous words, trying to find the problem.

But what shocked him was that after thinking back several times from the beginning to the end, Trotsky did not find the problem. If it was him who spoke, his cousin would not be much better than the current Kamenev!

It was at this moment that Kamenev's performance finally ended, just as he happily waited for Lenin's collapse. Lenin's counterattack has arrived!

"Let me see what newspapers they have," said Lenin, pacing leisurely to the stone and flipping through the stall of newspapers he had brought. Sneered: "The Times, The New York Times, The Paris Daily, The Yomiuri Shimbun." It's all old acquaintances! “

Kamenev also vaguely felt that something was wrong, but he didn't know what Lenin was trying to say, what happened to these newspapers? Questions?

Of course there was a problem, because Trotsky quickly realized what the problem was. These newspapers, which Kamenev cited as evidence. Undoubtedly, they are all mouthpieces of the Western media. Their voices have always been at odds with the Bolsheviks, and they have never spoken good things about the Bolsheviks!

"If I'm not mistaken, last year Brest and when the strip was signed. It was these newspapers that were scolding us for being traitors, attacking us as worthless, well, I remember them saying that I was a German spy and a shameful traitor, right? ”

Trotsky was about to speak, but Lenin did not give him a chance, and the mentor went on to himself: "I remember that at that time they also cited all kinds of evidence against me, so according to Comrade Kamenev's point of view, I also deserve it?" ”

The corners of Kamenev's mouth twitched, such an accusation was really terrible, but he still said stiffly: "This time and that time, I ...... this time."

Lenin categorically interrupted him: "I don't want to listen to what you see, what do you see? You witnessed with your own eyes that Comrade Andrei ordered Czech 'bandits' to burn, kill, and plunder? The so-called "what you see" is just that these media with special intentions have specially created it to see what you see. Can such a thing be used as evidence? ”

Lenin sneered, and then added: "I remember, just a month ago, it was these same media who said unequivocally that our Red Army was causing humanitarian disasters in Ukraine, in Belarus in the Urals and on the Volga. Is it also true that our great Red Army fighters are accused of being murderers and robbers? ”

Lenin's words are so loud that even Trotskyists have to admit that the Western media, which have a good conscience, are the best at fighting against differences, at looking at different values with colored glasses, and at making up lies to sensationalize.

Objectively speaking, it would be too much child's play to accuse an alternate CPC Central Committee member who has made great contributions to the revolution with just a few reports and photos from the Western media.

Trotsky could not sit still, he did not want to be a joke, and he summoned an emergency meeting of the Central Committee with great vigour, only to be dismissed by Lenin in a few words, which would have dealt a great blow to his personal reputation.

So he quickly stood up: "Comrade Lenin, regardless of whether these Western media are credible or not, the impact of this incident is extremely bad, and Comrade Andrei must give an explanation to the Central Committee and all Party members......

Trotsky's move was ruthless enough, and he deliberately obscured the focus of Lenin's previous counterattack - whether the Western reports were true. On the contrary, he seized the so-called influence to make a big fuss, and even deliberately made a problem for Lenin, asking Li Xiaofeng to prove his innocence, otherwise he would be suspected of the crime!

This trick was insidious enough, but it was a drizzle for Lenin, who continued Trotsky's words: "Yesterday the Times News also published a message that said that when you returned to Moscow from the Urals and the front, Comrade Trotsky, your special train was full of hundreds of tons of gold brought from the Kazan State Bank. Do you have anything to explain about this? ”

Trotsky was dumbfounded, he really did not expect Lenin to play hooligan to his face, to tease him to his face, everyone knew that such a report was a complete chase, a complete fabrication. But Lenin just wanted to mention it to his face, and it was undoubtedly Chi Guoguo who laughed at him -- don't you want to suspect the guilt? Then let's suspect the guilt, now you first explain the problem of gold!

Trotsky's face was ugly, because he didn't have a good way to fight back. Fortunately, he was not fighting alone, and Ulitsky immediately stood up and said angrily: "How can this be confused? Comrade Trotsky's Character and Integrity ......"

Sverdlov immediately interrupted him, "Is Comrade Andrei's integrity, character, and contribution to the revolution just air, and is it not worth mentioning at all?" What kind of fool would make such a low-level mistake by believing the lies made up by the enemy and using them against his own comrades?! ”

Stalin then added: "I think some people have ulterior motives, and you can see from the expressions of the February and October Revolutions what his attitude towards the revolution was!" ”

These words made Kamenev so angry that he almost vomited blood, and Stalin was going to tear him down and put him to death. What's even more annoying is that he can't fight back, after all, his previous cousin is in his eyes, and there is no way to deny it!

However, it was also because of Stalin's words that the contradictions between the Trotskyists and the Leninists were fully detonated, so that the emergency meeting was in danger of getting out of control! (To be continued......)
