Li Xiaofeng's remarks can be regarded as a revelation, to put it bluntly, the so-called line and policy are not just signboards used to recruit troops. You say you're a big three, you have to have a size! It is best to be able to hold down the name of the political opponent steadily, and its role is to establish authority and boost morale.

Once this is clear, things are simple, isn't it just a political slogan? What kind of psychological burden do you want, anyway, you don't have to cash it out right away, flicker!

To tell the truth, Li Xiaofeng's flickering slogan was very lofty, and at least echoed the tone of the Bolsheviks leading the world communist movement. Compared with Li Xiaofeng's slogans, the two lines of Stalin and Trotsky seem so "narrow-sighted".

Anyway, once Li Xiaofeng's slogan was put forward, it won the whole country, no! It is the unanimous response of the proletariat all over the world, and everyone has said that this slogan is like words, and it is the style that the communist leading brother should have.

Even this slogan alarmed Lenin, who was recovering from his retirement, and the mentor called Sverdlov for the first time to inquire about the new policy line of the young man. It's not that Xiao Si's slogan makes the mentor's eyes shine, but that the mentor feels deeply worried.

Why worry? Because Xiao Si's new slogan is almost the same as Trotsky's theory of permanent revolution, it can even be said to be a repackaged version of the old Trotsky's theory of permanent revolution. At this time, the Mentor thought that the permanent revolution was a bit anachronistic, a little arrogant and ignorant of the meaning of the heavens and the earth.

Trotsky did not have full confidence in the permanent revolution at that time, and as a result? The head was hit and the blood flowed. He also led the great discussion within the party on whether a country can build socialism, which almost split the party. At this time, Xiao Si re-bottled new wine. Can Lenin, you say, not be apprehensive?

However, Xiao Si is full of confidence in this: "Opposition to imperialism and hegemonism will never become obsolete. From a worldwide perspective. The people of Asia, Africa and Latin America have initially woken up. For example, for a time, China's revolutionary movement was vigorously launched. We believe that at a time when imperialism is full of internal contradictions, whether it is to compromise and make concessions to the fascists in imperialism as Comrade Stalin did, or to seek cooperation with imperialism as Comrade Trotsky did, there is still a problem. The USSR and the Bolsheviks had to insist on being the main one, they had to take their own destiny into their own hands, and victory could only be won by uniting the lowest peoples of the world who were suffering from imperialist and fascist persecution! ”

Lenin was tempted to say to Sverdlov: "You are singing a high note, if the matter is as simple as you say." The world revolution has long been victorious! ”

However, even if Lenin did not agree, it would not change the overall situation, because the fraternal parties under the Comintern were extremely satisfied with Xiao Si's line, and they all sang the praises of Xiao Si's line, and even Lenin had to retreat from the huge influence of this.

Li Xiaofeng succeeded, Xiao Si also succeeded, and the new political line brought them unprecedented prestige, which greatly boosted the momentum of the once embarrassed Sverdlov group, which can be regarded as completely consolidating the political position. And this meant that the Soviet Union had entered the era of the Big Three.

Of course, the stability of the political position. It does not mean that Stalin and Trotsky will bow down and throw in the towel. In fact, these two people have no intention of admitting defeat at all, not only not admitting defeat. They also stepped up their movements. Beginning in August 1938, as representatives of Stalin and Trotsky, Molotov and Yue Fei frequently traveled to Germany, Japan, France, and Britain to negotiate and engage with the foreign ministers of the four countries.

Among them, Molotov made the most progress, and his negotiations with Germany and Japan progressed very quickly, and he initially reached a certain consensus with Japan, and the next thing he needed was how to turn secret contacts into formal negotiations and the signing of a treaty.

And the progress of Yue Fei there was not smooth, Britain and France were much more difficult to deal with than Germany and Japan, and the two big hooligans were always unwilling to commit political obligations to the Soviet Union, and they still only paid lip service to the fight against fascism. And such a condition was completely unacceptable to Trotsky, that is to say that the negotiations reached an impasse.

Stalin and Trotsky were active, and Sverdlov could not be idle, and their work was much more low-key than the first, because the Comintern was ready-made, and whether it was Luxemburg, Liebknecht, or Dimitrov, they were willing to bring about a proletarian anti-imperialist and anti-fascist alliance worldwide.

With the support of these three bigwigs of the international communist movement, Sverdlov was able to push his ideas very simply. Under Li Xiaofeng's advice, the fight against fascism is the first priority at present, and the first thing is to help those proletarian brothers who are facing the threat of fascism and who have already suffered from fascism.

The first to bear the brunt of this are China, North Korea, Ethiopia and Spain. Of course, the last two were a mixed bag, because Ethiopia had no communist parties or other socialist parties, and the pre-Spanish Second Republic was rather unremarkable, and they were largely unthreatened with war, so neither of them was the focus of aid.

To put it bluntly, the key targets of aid are actually China and North Korea, with China being the top priority. However, this most important issue is also a question, that is, to whom is the aid? At this time, the Soviet government recognized the Nationalist Government, but the Nationalist Government was not a member of the Comintern. Was the aid given in the name of the Comintern to the Nationalist Government or to the Turkish Communist Party?

This is a very complicated and strict political problem, anyway, if it is given to the Turkish Communist Party, then Lao Jiang will definitely jump his feet, and his defense against the Turkish Communist Party has always been on top of the prevention of the Japanese, and he will never allow the Turkish Communist Party to become bigger.

In fact, the opinion on this question within the Comintern was also complicated, and Stalin and Trotsky's men were constantly making trouble and deliberately causing trouble in order to bankrupt the line of Petriot.

Under these circumstances, Li Xiaofeng and Ruzutak did a great deal of work to persuade Luxemburg, Liebknecht, and Dimitrov to temporarily give China five to five percent of their aid, and Lao Chiang and the Turks to give half each.

To be honest, this is a muddy solution, and fundamentally speaking, it cannot solve practical problems. In fact, before this decision was made, Lao Jiang began to protest. It was considered that the Soviet Union was a gross interference in the internal affairs of China.

on this. Li Xiaofeng's reply was: "The decision made by the Comintern has absolutely nothing to do with the Soviet government. The Communist Party was only a member of the Comintern and could not influence the collective decisions of the Comintern. ”

Dimitrov also explained: "The assistance provided by the Comintern is generally only to the full members of the International, and it is clear that neither the Nationalist Government nor the Kuomintang are members of the International. The organization provided assistance in view of the fact that the Turkish Communist Party was a member of the Comintern and was suffering from fascism. In fact, all aid is legally granted to the Communist Party of Turkey. However, in view of the fact that the second Kuomintang-Communist cooperation was underway, in order to help the Chinese people resist the invaders, half of the aid was donated to the Nationalist Government on an exceptional basis......"

In fact, Dimitrov meant to say: "Old Jiang, don't shout. If you don't even give you that half! ”

Dimitrov's words still had an effect, and Lao Jiang really didn't dare to shout so loudly, but he quickly came up with a bad idea - Lao Tzu also applied to join the Comintern!

Don't laugh, Lao Jiang did do this in history, but he wasn't told about it. And this time, I'm afraid it still can't be done. Because Li Xiaofeng knows Lao Jiang's true thoughts very well, this is the master who does not do anything after taking benefits.

But the Kuomintang's application is also there, so you can't ignore it, right? However, if you have to ask about it, the Comintern may be very difficult, and the established policy of the Soviet government is to aid China to resist Japan. It is always necessary to save some face for the Kuomintang, and if you can't just shout, you will deny it.

"Then procrastinate!" Li Xiaofeng said indifferently. "Organize a high-level inspection delegation and send them to China to inspect the Kuomintang's political philosophy and organizational structure in a detailed and comprehensive manner, preferably for a three-year or five-year ......."

It made Ruzutark laugh, it was too bad an idea, but he liked it. Only after contacting someone, will you find that someone has a good set of solutions to those complex and thorny problems, and can often open breakthroughs from the side that ordinary people can't imagine.

Compared to Stalin, Trotsky, and Sverdlov, someone's style of doing things is a bit "evil", but this evil way often works very well. This made Ruzutak admire.

Of course, when Ruzutak came to Li Xiaofeng today, the focus was not on the problem of China, but on the problem of East Prussia. Since October 1938, the anti-Jewish atmosphere in Germany has intensified, not only because of the discrimination against Jews in Germany itself, but also because the relationship between Germany and the East Prussian People's Republic has become like a bow full of strings.

This made the Jews finally unable to sit still any longer, and on the one hand intensified their lobbying and public relations for Britain and France, and on the other hand, began to actively prepare. What preparation? Naturally, it is war preparation!

From the beginning of the annexation of Austria by Germany to the outbreak of the Sudetenland, Ben. Gurion immediately approved a new military budget bill, which almost doubled the military budget of East Prussia compared to the previous year. The Jews finally realized that hugging their thighs alone could not solve the existential crisis, and began to save themselves.

The standing army of the East Prussian People's Republic immediately began to expand, from 100,000 to 200,000. Moreover, these additions were interesting, largely excluding the native German descendants, and almost exclusively absorbing Jewish youth.

Not only did it absorb a large number of Jewish youth, Ben. Gurion also secretly instructed the removal of German influence from the army, and the removal of a considerable number of German soldiers and officers from active service. It seems that Ben-Gurion also discovered that these Germans are unreliable.

However, the advantages and disadvantages of this are significant, the advantage is to ensure the controllability of the state violence, the disadvantage is that the group of German descendants who were expelled will not keep secrets for the Jews, and in a fit of anger, they leaked a large number of military secrets of the East Prussian Wehrmacht to Germany, and for a time the East Prussian army was almost transparent in the eyes of the Nazis.

In this case, Ben. Gurion could only reorganize the army in order to minimize the impact of the leaks. At the same time as the reorganization of the army, Ben. Gurion is also actively engaged in diplomatic work, and his thighs still have to hug the ground, but this time the focus of public relations has shifted from Britain and France to the United States and the Soviet Union, especially the Soviet Union.

Root. Gurion believed that if relations with the Soviet Union could be restored and the protection of the Soviet Union could be obtained, the lives of the Jews would be more assured. This time, he went out in person. Successive visits to Stalin, Trotsky and Sverdlov.

The result? It can only be said that it is not very good. Stalin was not very fond of Jews in the first place. Moreover, Stalin was now bent on signing non-aggression pacts with Germany and Japan. In this case, the Jews and East Prussia were the obstacles that hindered his relations with Germany, and you say he could give Ben. What does the Gurion want to look at?

As for Trotsky, as a Jew, he was not much of a Jew, and he was quite hesitant about how to deal with relations with East Prussia, because the Germans were now vigorously anti-Semitic. In the absence of an alliance with Britain and France, Trotsky did not dare to provoke the Germans too much. If he doesn't get it right, it's self-defeating, and he has to weigh the risks, so he can't promise the Jews much. Lao Tuo only vaguely expressed his willingness to maintain friendly relations with East Prussia, but for the time being, relations between the two countries were better maintained as they were.

These Ben. Gurion was blinded, two of the three giants, one made it clear that he was not interested in them, and the other was just talking about the scene, and the last remaining giant had a very stiff quarrel with the Jews before, how do you look at it, there is no way to survive?

Think about it. Root. Gurion could only survive in death, and went to visit Sverdlov with a shy face. The meeting also did not open a breakthrough. Because Sverdlov did not refuse like Stalin, nor did he play haha like Trotsky, but simply did not talk about the topic, and when he talked about the German question, Xiao Si diverted the topic, but he did not completely block the door.

This gives Ben. Gurion couldn't get it up and down, and he didn't know what Sverdlov meant.

In fact, Sverdlov's meaning is very simple, he is supportive of the restoration of cooperation with the Jews, but isn't there a Li Xiaofeng here? Someone used to wave a big stick at the Jews frequently, and no matter how you look at it, that guy hates the Jews so much. For Sverdlov, when it comes to choosing between Jews and Li Xiaofeng, he will not hesitate to choose the latter, so he does not say it to death, but asks Ruzutak to see what someone's attitude is. If someone still hates the Jews, let the Jews fend for themselves!

Knowing the intention of Ruzutak's coming, Li Xiaofeng said with a smile: "I don't have any resentment towards the Jews, everyone is defending the interests of the country, but their food appearance is too ugly, and the bridge will be demolished when they cross the river." So I think it's okay to work with the Jews, but in business, if they don't give enough benefits, we don't have to deal with them. ”

Ruzutak smiled, he knew how to choose with Li Xiaofeng's words, but just as he was about to leave, Li Xiaofeng suddenly said to him again: "I, Comrade Yakov, don't be in such a hurry to reply to the Jews, hang them for a while!" ”

Ruzutak nodded with a smile and asked, "How long do you think it's better to dry?" ”

To tell the truth, Ruzutak didn't really ask for Li Xiaofeng's opinion when he asked the question, but it was a joke, a kind of ridicule between friends, but Li Xiaofeng's answer surprised him: "Anyway, not earlier than November 10, it's better to reply to them at the beginning of next year." ”

"Huh?" Ruzutak was immediately stunned, and he was very sensitive, and he immediately realized the problem: "Andrei, do you have any inside information?" ”

Li Xiaofeng smiled and said: "It's not special news, according to the comrades of the KGB working in Germany, violence against Jews may break out in Germany next month, and the scale and influence will be unprecedented." ”

"Comrade Andrei really said that?"

Ruzutak nodded to Sverdlov's inquiry, and added: "I don't think he's so sure about it!" ”

Sverdlov pondered for a moment and ordered: "I know, just do as Comrade Andrei wants, first dry the Jews, and try to fight for the greater good!" ”

Root. Gurion is really pitiful, he is still looking around for Sverdlov's attitude, and he is still thinking about how to open the situation. But who would have thought that the other party was ready to sit on the ground and start the price, and always shirked his temptation with various excuses, but he always left a glimmer of hope, just like teasing him.

It was not until November 10 that Kristallnacht broke out, and in the days that followed, the Jews of Germany were devastated, their property confiscated, and most of them were imprisoned in concentration camps. This further led to high tensions between Germany and East Prussia, and for a time the Wehrmacht and East Prussian border guards were at a loss. It's Ben. Gurion ordered the army to exercise restraint so that the conflict did not break out immediately.

In the coming period, Ben. Gurion was busy rescuing his compatriots from concentration camps, and it was not until January 1939 that he suddenly received an invitation from Sverdlov to visit the Soviet Union.

Root. Gurion immediately realized how precious this invitation was, and almost immediately put down the work at hand and rushed to Moscow as fast as he could. And this time, Sverdlov did not do Tai Chi again, and bluntly offered to help East Prussia and the Jews, of course, such help was not free.

This makes Ben. Gurion was overjoyed, and almost without thinking, agreed to all the conditions proposed by Sverdlov in one bite. In this regard, Li Xiaofeng sighed and said to Ruzutak: "Comrade Yakov is still too kind, why send an invitation and let the Jews come to the door by themselves, they can give better conditions!" (To be continued......)
