As long as Mironov does not take the initiative to die, Li Xiaofeng can rest assured that Ukraine has him and Frunze here, and neither Petliura nor Makhnor is afraid. So a certain immortal came in a hurry, and then left in a hurry.

A day later, Li Xiaofeng appeared in Brest, Belarus. The city is also famous in the history of World War I and World War II. In February 1918, the German-Austrian bloc signed the famous Brest Treaty with Soviet Russia, and at the outbreak of World War II, the Soviet Red Army, defending the fortress, told the Germans with immortal will that Russia would fight to the end.

However, in September 1919, the fortress that later guarded the Soviet border was not part of the Soviet Union, or even Russia. The last forces of the Belarusian Rada are entrenched here, and for the Belarusian "conqueror" Tukhachevsky, taking this fortress is not a big problem at all.

Indeed, for the Bolsheviks, the Belarusian problem was no longer a problem, but after the "liberation" of Belarus, the next step was a big question.

What Trotsky meant was that after taking Brest, the Belorussian Front should be directed at Poland, flattening Poland with a devastating force, not only to build a new socialist Poland, but also to continue to march westward and let the flame of revolution burn again in Germany.

To say a word of distraction, the German Communist Party led by Luxemburg and Lee Poker Nesi is now a lost dog, the Bavarian uprising has been extinguished, and the revolutionary upsurge in Germany has just begun to show its head, and it has been ruthlessly pressed back. This result was really not good for Trotsky.

So Lao Tuo was a little anxious. The German proletariat has stopped. Austria is also out of order. Only the two lone seedlings of the Hungarian proletariat and the Czechoslovak proletariat were left to support themselves in Eastern Europe. If he didn't rush to support, his idea of a world revolution would really go bankrupt!

Therefore, Trotsky hoped that Tukhachevsky's actions would be as fast as possible, but not everyone in the party agreed with him, not to mention the Leninists, and the mentor was more concerned about the Ukrainian problem, and when this big granary could be taken back was related to the food problem of Russia's more than 100 million people. Today, when the famine is getting worse. Eating is a top priority!

Therefore, the tutor hopes that Tukhachevsky's Belarusian Front will not rush eastward, go south first, help Frunze, and get rid of Ukraine as soon as possible.

The Mentor's opinion is very weighty, especially the Bolshevik Central Leadership, which is currently suffering from the food problem, and dozens of pairs of eyes, large and small, are staring directly at the grain, and they are eager to go out and grab the grain.

For example, Trotsky's iron brother Bukharin did not fully side with Trotsky at this critical moment: "The most important problem at the moment is the question of food, without which socialism cannot be built." It could not even stabilize the power of the Soviets. From May of this year, from Petrograd to Moscow. A series of peasant uprisings broke out from north to south, and the peasant brothers who had stood with us in the Bolshevik revolution drifted away from us because of hunger...... If this continues, the very foundations of the union of workers, peasants and soldiers will be completely destroyed! ”

Bukharin glanced at Trotsky, which was very meaningful, and then he continued: "September and October are the season of the grain harvest, and since 1918 we have lost this precious granary of Ukraine, without which we have been hungry for a year. At this moment, the vast majority of the people have already consumed the already small amount of food and are waiting to be fed! We urgently need Ukrainian grain now, the sooner the better, the more the better! Otherwise, continue to let Ukraine go on in such chaos, there is a high probability that these precious grains will fall into the hands of the enemy, I am not alarmist, if Petliura burns all the granaries of Ukraine according to the requirements of the Entente, then the revolution is likely to be dealt a fatal blow! ”

Every time Bukharin said a word, Trotsky's face became ugly, especially when Bukharin equated the food question with the future of the revolution.

Trotsky was angry and felt that Bukharin was too short-sighted, and it is true that the food crisis was severe, but was there only one solution to this problem: the reconquest of Ukraine?

Trotsky believed that the best answer to this question was not Ukraine, but Germany, Austria and Hungary. He believed that if the world revolution was to be victorious and socialist regimes were to be established in all areas of Europe, then none of the problems would be a problem.

At that time, Russia was short of food, and it was completely possible to rely on the fraternal countries of Western and Central Europe to support it, and with the productive forces of Western and Eastern Europe, it was difficult to solve Russia's food problem?

Trotsky thought that Lenin and Bukharin were too short-sighted to know that the circle around old Russia was nothing more than a mere Ukraine in relation to Western and Central Europe. It's drizzling!

So is Trotsky's answer really better than Lenin's and Bukharin's? Not necessarily! It is true that the productive forces in Western and Central Europe are more developed, but it must also be noted that after the long world war and consumption, the difference between these regions and Russia is 50 paces and 100 paces.

If Western and Central Europe had been so comfortable and so well-off, how could Wilhelm II be forced to step down, and how could Austria-Hungary collapse itself? Obviously, life in this area is not easy either, or it is impossible to live, and only those who cannot survive have the courage to revolution and rebellion!

Let's put it this way, Trotsky's method of "tearing down the east wall and making up the west wall" bore the brunt of the problem: there was no wall to tear down.

It is conceivable that at that time, Trotsky, who had drawn a big pie, would have had a very difficult end, and if he did not get it right, it would be another total collapse and the beginning of a chain reaction.

This is the first thing, and the second is that although the Bolsheviks from top to bottom had faith in the world revolution, to be honest, this confidence was more like a kind of self-hypnosis. It's like a warrior facing an evil dragon muttering to himself, "I'm not afraid", a role.

If you think about it, the Bolsheviks were in danger of getting a civil war, and they were almost overturned several times. This is still Russia, where imperialist and counter-revolutionary forces are at their weakest. Even the revolution in Russia was so difficult. So dangerous. Go to the stronghold of old imperialism and make a revolution. Can it be easy?

Speaking from the heart, many bigwigs in the party are actually very worried, and they may be shouting about the future of the revolution with a bright future, but their hearts are full of haze. All people will think, what if the world revolution failed? What if it fails?

I am afraid that the only one of them who did not give much thought to this question was Trotsky, a brother who had been thoroughly hypnotized by his own theories, and who had only one thought left in his head: "The revolution must be exported, the world revolution must be advocated." Only in this way can you succeed and win, this is the only correct route! ”

In any case, Trotsky was already a demonic obstacle at that time, and he could not listen to any other opinions. That's why in the face of Bukharin's "betrayal", his face is so ugly and angry.

Almost as soon as Bukharin finished speaking, he could not wait to stand up and retort sharply: "The export of revolution to Poland and Central and Eastern Europe is ready to be exported!" Now the conditions are fully ripe, and it is true that the problem of famine is very serious, but it is not insurmountable, and we can completely grit our teeth. Survive these months, once victorious in Poland and Germany. The situation in Europe, no! It is that the whole pattern of the world will be completely changed, when the imperialist blockade will inevitably collapse, we will have all kinds of access to food, and the problem of famine will be solved! ”

Speaking of this, Trotsky also glared at Bukharin fiercely and said impassionedly: "And if we are now only staring at the country's one-third of an acre and only at Ukraine, we will inevitably miss the opportunity!" Comrades, this is a rare opportunity, the reactionary forces in Germany and Poland are now in their weakest state, and this is the best time for us to destroy them! We will regret missing this opportunity for the rest of our lives! ”

The reasons given by Trotsky and Bukharin were very entangled in the Central Committee leaders, and it seemed that the opinions of both sides were very reasonable, and neither could convince anyone. There is no choice between which way to go and where to go.

"Continue to discuss research? What a shit conclusion this is! When Trotsky returned to his office, he had a rare foul language. This can also be seen how eager he is now.

But what's the point of him being in a hurry alone? The Central Committee is not in a hurry with him, every qiē is in vain!

"This guy Bukharin, who always drops the chain at critical moments!" Ulitsky muttered angrily.

However, his remark did not receive a response from Trotsky or Rykov for the simple reason that Trotsky was not fit to go along with it, and Rykov could not go along with it. Why? Ulitsky simply said that Bukharin did not agree with Trotsky on the question of the Brest Pact, so that Trotsky was very badly cleaned up by Lenin, and as a result, Lenin's authority in the party was unprecedentedly high, and the Trotskyists were passive for a year.

This is true, but in any case Bukharin is now a giant of the Trotskyists, and Trotsky would be suspected of tearing his face if he recklessly turned over old accounts. Really torn his face, what good did it do for Trotsky? What's more, there was also a Rykov sitting in this room, and at that time Rykov was firmly standing on Bukharin's side, and when Ulitsky made such a fuss, Rykov was quite embarrassed, and when the time came, which end should Rykov help to speak?

So both Rykov and Trotsky can only pretend not to hear, otherwise, there is no need to talk about business, let's talk about infighting first!

Sometimes even Trotsky felt that Ulitsky was a man of no brains, and that he could do nothing to help. You don't want to think about it, when Bukharin was tinkering with the left-wing communist union, you kid also responded positively, and you were still the backbone. Now at this time, you are beating a rake, is it interesting? But Trotsky could not blame Ulitsky yet, who let Ulitsky speak for him?

Trotsky skipped the topic and said: "If this drag continues, then the machine will be wasted......

Before Trotsky could finish speaking, Ulitsky responded positively: "I agree, time waits for no one, and when necessary, it must be cut first!" ”

Rykov frowned, although he agreed with Trotsky's opinion, but that did not mean that he agreed to leave the Central Committee alone, this is an unorganized and undisciplined act no matter how you look at it, and the slightest mistake will have extremely severe consequences.

"Comrade Rykov. What's your expression? ”

Ulitsky was upset. Just now when he criticized Bukharin. He could understand Trotsky's silence, but he was not satisfied. In his opinion, Rykov should actively make his position clear and join him in criticizing Bukharin, which is correct. But this guy chose to pretend to be stupid, and when he echoed Trotsky again, this thing actually showed a constipated expression again, which made him more and more unhappy, he felt that Rykov was preparing to be Bukharin's second!

At that time, Ulitsky could not bear it. He reprimanded: "Comrade Likov, is your position not firm? If it weren't for Comrade Trotsky, would you have been sitting comfortably in the Central Committee? ”

These words made Rykov's face change drastically, and Ulitsky's words were too slap in the face, before Stalin hit his small report, accusing him of appointing foreign spies as commissioners, guiding zhì to lose the upper hand in the battle for gold, and even almost sent Chabaev, the combat hero who captured Kolchak, into the tiger's mouth. In any case, steel will harshly hold him accountable as a leader, that is, let him resign.

Rykov was quite passive at that time, almost blocked in the corner of the wall by steel. If it weren't for Trotsky's timely speaking for him and exculpating him. The blame was shifted to Chabaev. Rykov, that Cheka chairman, I'm afraid, did it.

And what Ulitsky means now is that Rykov doesn't know how to repay his kindness and is a pure villain. How do you say Rykov could stand it?

To be honest, Rykov's passivity had a great deal to do with Trotsky, and if it weren't for Trotsky's request, how could he have caused a commotion if he had sent a bird commissioner to intervene in the gold question? But Ulitsky coerced him to repay the favor, which is really unbearable!

Seeing that Rykov was about to explode, Trotsky quickly interjected: "Now is not the time to accuse each other, the more times like this, the more we must unite." Moreover, Comrade Rykov is quite right when he says that it is too risky to go it alone without the Central Committee. We can't be so reckless! ”

Ulitsky was still not convinced, and said hatefully: "Are you just waiting? We've missed the opportunity more than once to sit and wait, and we can't afford to wait again this time! ”

"I know!" Trotsky hastened to reassure Ulitsky, and he himself really did not want to sit idly by, and he confidently said: "Of course we cannot sit idly by, but at the same time we cannot leave the Central Committee alone. I mean, is it possible to get the Polish comrades to take active action, and it is up to them to open up the situation? ”

Ulitsky and Rykov glanced at each other, both were a little strange, Poland and Russia and the Bolsheviks had always had bad relations, and there was not much intersection between the two sides, where to find Polish comrades at this time? Isn't that?

But Trotsky never took it lightly, and he said this because he had found the so-called Polish comrades. And this comrade is Bolesław. Beirut.

Born in 1892, he devoted himself to the revolution very early, joined the left wing of the Polish Socialist Party at the age of 20, and later became one of the founders of the Polish Workers' Party, and after the victory in World War II, he served as the general secretary of the Polish United Workers' Party and the first president of the Polish People's Republic. In 1956, when he kicked his legs, Taizu of this dynasty also sent a telegram of condolences.

Of course, the most glorious moment of this fierce man was not when he became a footcloth president under the auspices of the Soviet Union, but in 1923 when he initiated the Krakow Uprising (which everyone had their own poison). Although the outcome of the Krakow uprising was not particularly ideal, it was not very bad, but all in all, Beirut, who was in his early thirties, showed his ability in this uprising, and was considered to have made a name for himself and laid the foundation for his future domination of Poland.

However, in 1919, Beirut really didn't have much fame, anyway, when both Ulitsky and Rykov heard his name, their first reaction was: "Who is that?" ”

"Comrade Beirut, an outstanding representative of the Polish Socialist Workers' Party, was able to stand up and openly denounce Pilsudski at a time when he was perverse and frequently interfering in the internal affairs of other countries. His courage and class stance are very worthy of recognition! ”

In fact, this is nonsense, and the real reason is that Trotsky really could not find a suitable "agent" in Poland, so he could only pull out the general from the short man and bring out Beirut, who had taken the initiative to take refuge in it.

"We should support Comrade Beirut and help him build a revolutionary army belonging to the Polish proletariat, and in the period when the Central Committee has not been able to agree on the question of the line, Comrade Beirut will carry out the work in advance and lay a solid foundation for the comprehensive development of the world revolution!"

Rykov understood what Trotsky meant, and now he is not good at making a fuss about the Polish question without the Central Committee, but he can use Beirut as a proxy and use the Polish Workers' Party as a cover to secretly display his position!

In fact, this method is not new at all, and a certain immortal has not helped the Jews to intervene in the German and Polish problems in a bright way. What is not to do with Trotsky's gourd painting scoop nowadays? Even Trotsky's agent was much stronger than the Jews, at least Beirut was a Marxist, and the Polish Workers' Party behind him was a serious socialist party.

Li Kefu thought for a while, and said: "It's okay to do this, but it's better for me to build a Communist International to advocate this matter!" ”

Trotsky's eyes lit up suddenly, Rykov's construction was so good that it was indeed justified for the Comintern to do this, and even Lenin could not say anything at that time. But immediately Trotsky frowned again, he did not have much influence in the Comintern, it was for the time being Zinoviev's territory, and he had been quite unpleasant with the big pie face, how could this be good? (To be continued......)
