How could Trotsky and Stalin suddenly be highly convinced of someone's work? Looking at the posture of these two goods just now, they are almost singing praises to a certain immortal. Could it be that these two goods are preparing to win over a certain immortal, or that they are preparing to turn enemies into friends with a certain immortal?

Obviously, this is not possible. It can only be said that wealth is moving, and it is true that Trotsky and Stalin have found the advantage and are ready to take advantage of a certain immortal. Trotsky was a little more subtle, and did not say what he meant for the time being, and it is possible that he was interrupted by Stalin and did not have time to say it. Anyway, Stalin's meaning just now was very clear, that is, he hoped that the mentor would hand over this fat job to him.

Lenin frowned slightly, and to tell the truth, he was not satisfied with the attitude of Trotsky and Stalin. This job was first proposed by Li Xiaofeng, and it was also done by Li Xiaofeng, so it is reasonable that someone should continue to follow up. And before this, someone was afraid of death to save his life, no matter how you say it, it is not suitable to beat the monk after reciting the scriptures, and scold the cook after eating.

The character of the tutor is not so bad, and he doesn't want to do such a cheap thing. Now, even if he was really unhappy in his heart, he had to seriously consider the intentions of Trotsky and Stalin.

For what? Someone is seriously injured and can't work for the time being! For the Mentor, alleviating the worsening food crisis in Petrograd is an urgent and important task. You can't wait for an immortal to recover from injury before proceeding, right? Even the daylily was cold at that time!

When an immortal is unable to carry out this work, it seems that this is the best and only option to hand it over to a comrade who is capable and trustworthy.

Especially. Trotsky and Stalin had already recommended themselves again. Lenin even liked Li Xiaofeng no matter how much he could. I also had to start from the big picture. So after a short period of thought, Lenin asked with a grim face: "Do you have any concrete ideas on how to carry out this work?" ”

If Lenin hadn't told them today that there was such a way, and that it had already succeeded once, neither Stalin nor Trotsky would have thought about it in this direction at all, and they would have just roared and robbed it when they thought it was profitable. Now that Lenin asked him this, he was a little embarrassed for both the brothers and sisters.

Trotsky was still smarter, although he had the intention of competition just now, but he did not show it directly, and now Stalin was ahead of him, and he happened to pit Stalin: "I have some plans for specific plans, but Comrade Joseph seems to be very confident just now, let's listen to his opinion first!" ”

Stalin's anger! Just now he saw that Trotsky was meddling, so he rushed to speak, and he meant to take the work first. Then he went back and slowly discussed with his sworn friends, and after the results were obtained, he took a concrete plan and submitted it to Lenin for review.

Who would have thought. Today, the mentor didn't play his cards according to common sense, and he didn't have time to prepare at all, so where does he have any plans now! Of course, this is not the most infuriating, Trotsky is the real insidious!

The meaning of this goods just now seems to be to take care of him and let him speak first, but in fact, the words of this goods are with guns and sticks, and they are not at ease at all. Look at what he said, on the one hand, he was sure that he had a whole plan in advance, and on the other hand, he kicked the right to speak to him, how insidious!

Stalin knew very well that Trotsky, like him, was unprepared and had no plans, and the reason why he said this was to buy himself time to think, and on the other hand, if he Stalin could not say that he was ugly, then his previous behavior of snatching the job would be particularly ridiculous and unconvincing, and he would naturally have to stand aside.

Faced with such an inexplicable situation, did Stalin have a solution? It should be said that no, who let him move too fast before! Anyway, at this moment, Trotsky clasped his hands in front of his chest, looking like he was watching a joke, not to mention how annoying that virtue was.

Stalin froze for the time being, very passive and very waxy, there may be comrades who want to say, this Stalin is too slippery, he went to grab a job without thinking about it, as for it?

Of course, if it were any other job, Stalin might not have robbed it, but when it came to foreign trade, when it came to a lot of money, this kind of fat difference had to be robbed. Don't get me wrong, Stalin didn't mean to scrape the ground, let alone embezzle. In the old revolution of the Soviet Union, most people did not have much desire for money, for them, they valued power more, and money did not mean much to them.

And there is only one reason why Stalin valued money at this time and the trade channel opened by a certain immortal, that is, the Party Central Committee was quite short of money! As I said before, the Bolsheviks inherited a mess with a thousand holes! Russia's economy is basically collapsing, the treasury is basically in ruins, and what is even more terrible is that money is needed everywhere, and no work can be carried out without money.

Therefore, all the departments of the Central Committee and the People's Commissars are worried about funding, and the big guys are trying to find ways to get money, such as fighting local tyrants to divide the land and confiscating the property of the capitalists.

Especially after the channel of foreign trade was cut off by the British, there are fewer and fewer ways to get money, and now Li Xiaofeng has suddenly broken through the barriers and opened up a way to get money, who is not greedy!

In fact, the economic situation of the Bolsheviks had always been very bad, and before the October Revolution they relied on party dues and Karls. After the October Revolution, although they were able to eat the imperial grain, the treasury was empty, and they could only live by fighting local tyrants and carrying out wartime communist policies.

So Carl. Moore was particularly embarrassed when he wanted to repay the loan, partly because Kamenev and Zinoviev were really shameless, and partly because of the real financial constraints. The big guys are thinking about funding. That's why it's so unpleasant. The Bolsheviks really began to have money. That will have to wait until the second five-year plan is completed.

The same is true of the present situation, if anyone can control the party's financial resources, he will undoubtedly greatly enhance his own voice, and it is normal for Trotsky and Stalin to want to grasp this financial source opened up by a certain immortal.

It is clear, however, that Lenin was not so easy to fool, and from the outset he gave Trotsky and Stalin a blow to the head, wanting to control this source of money. Yes, but you have to be real. If you don't have real skills, then stand aside.

So at this time, even if the Mentor clearly saw that Trotsky was playing tricks, and did not have the idea of upholding justice for Stalin, and did not do porcelain work without diamonds, if Stalin could not even cope with this situation, what would you talk about to carry out work?

For a while, the conference room was silent, six or seven pairs of eyes staring straight at Stalin, and everyone wanted to know how the iron and steel would resolve the unfavorable situation.

Did Stalin have a way? After a short period of thought. He made the most correct and helpless choice: "On the issue of work planning, tell the truth. I haven't figured it out yet. The incident happened suddenly, and I did not expect that Comrade Andrei would open a folding window for the party...... However, I am full of confidence in this work, and as long as the comrades are willing to believe in me, I will definitely make achievements for ......"

Before he could finish speaking, Lenin interrupted him: "Comrade Joseph, we want to hear a practical work strategy, not your military order...... It is true that your enthusiasm for work is worthy of recognition, but this work is of great importance and must be handed over to comrades with practical plans! ”

Lenin's words made Trotsky's heart bloom, and he felt that Lenin's intention was obvious, that is, to give him the job, and to think of being able to snatch the fat from the tiger's mouth, and how beautiful the old man was!

Unfortunately, Trotsky was a little too happy, and then Lenin suddenly changed his words: "So, now sit down and think about this question, and let us first listen to Comrade Trotsky's opinion, you just said that you already have a whole plan, right?" Comrade Trotsky! ”

Trotsky's face changed instantly, just now he was only concerned with Stalin's jokes, and Stalin had admitted very happily that he had not thought it through, in fact there was very little time left for him to think, and he had only made a beginning, so what did he do?

In particular, Lenin was not kind just now, and deliberately pointed out that he had a comprehensive plan, and if he couldn't say the whole plan, wouldn't he be as embarrassed as Stalin! I'm even afraid that he will be even more humiliated than Stalin, at least the steel doesn't say much!

For what? The reason is very simple, if he can't say anything about the overall plan, or if the overall plan is not convincing at all, what do the Politburo members and alternate committee members here think? Even if you don't say anything on the surface, I'm afraid you will despise him in your heart.

Such an outcome was not what Trotsky wanted, and when the new Central Committee and the Politburo were elected urgently for national deputies, he suffered a great loss, and Yue Fei and Radek, who had great hopes of becoming members of the Central Committee, got too close to Bukharin because of their improper attitude towards the Brest contract, and one stood still in the position of alternate Central Committee, and the other did not even touch the side of the alternate Central Committee.

To make matters worse, Ulitsky and Bubnov were both kicked out of the Politburo, and poor Bubnov was beaten to the bottom, which led to a serious reduction in his Trotsky's power in the Politburo and the Central Committee.

The reason why he was so enthusiastic about grabbing this job was that he wanted to sweep away the decline and expand his influence, and if he was slapped in the face by Lenin because of this, it would be terrible.

Trotsky told himself that he must be calm, that he must not panic, let alone show timidity, he slowly stood up and said in a very slow voice: "The work of foreign trade is of great importance, and only by broadening the trade channels and breaking the enemy's blockade can we improve the present bad economic situation and carry out the revolutionary work in a better way......

Trotsky began by saying a bunch of nonsense, no way, although he didn't want to talk nonsense, but now he had to buy himself time to think. So he's prepared to talk a lot about the meaning of this work, preferably for half an hour in one breath. Undoubtedly, if Trotsky was allowed to play at will, he would be able to play his whole tongue. Don't talk about it for half an hour. Speaking for an hour or two is no big problem.

Anyway, Stalin's face changed at that time. He didn't expect Trotsky to have this hand, the reason why he just admitted defeat so happily was to see Trotsky's jokes, his idea was - Lao Tzu can't say it, you can't say anything!

But he forgot about Trotsky's eloquence, and at this moment Stalin was about to burst into tears, who made him a crippled mouth?

Fortunately, Lenin could not have allowed Trotsky to do this. He had no interest in listening to nonsense, and he would not allow Trotsky to make such a mockery of Stalin. So as soon as Trotsky made a start, he interrupted on the spot: "Comrade Trotsky, the comrades present here are well aware of the importance of this work, you don't need to repeat too much, just get to the point and tell me about your specific strategy!" ”

Stalin was relieved at last, he had just been worried that Trotsky was wasting his time like this, and now the Mentor had blocked him back. Steel felt like he could see jokes again.

But Stalin was somewhat overjoyed too soon, for some sharp-thinking geniuses. When people think about questions that take an hour to find the answer to in a day, they can often find the initial direction in a few minutes or tens of seconds.

Trotsky was a genius of this kind, and with his keen mind, he used the time he had just given himself permission to determine the general direction, and all he needed to do was to slowly flesh out his plan.

"As to how to carry out this work," Trotsky said in a deep voice, "Comrade Andrei has made an excellent start for us, and I personally think that it should be carried forward...... Taking advantage of the bourgeoisie's desire for profit, we can offer some more lucrative resources in exchange for a comprehensive breakthrough of the enemy's blockade......"

BEFORE HE FINISHED SPEAKING, STALIN INTERJECTED: "I DO NOT AGREE WITH THIS POINT OF VIEW, THIS APPROACH IS A COMPLETE BETRAYAL OF THE FUNDAMENTALS OF THE THEORY OF MARXISM. What we are about to build is a great socialist country, a new society in which the proletariat is the master of the country, how can we cede the important productive resources of the country to the bourgeoisie? If we do, isn't that a betrayal of the theory of MAXXISM and the proletariat? I firmly oppose this kind of practice of making small mistakes and big mistakes! ”

Trotsky also thought about this problem, and to tell the truth, it was a very sensitive and intractable question, but he felt that in a special period, it was necessary to use special means to solve the problem, and the most crucial problem now was how to solve the food and economic crisis, if this could not be done, the foundation of the revolution would be shaken, and it might even cause great damage to the revolution.

Therefore, he immediately defended: "I did not say that I would give away the resources of production to the bourgeoisie, I meant to make a trade, to exchange a part of the country's resources for food, and Comrade Andrei's previous practice basically affirmed that this was achievable." It is not necessary to put this issue on the platform at all, but to temporarily transfer some state resources to alleviate the imminent crisis and buy time for the next step of our work, which is in line with the party's revolutionary line! ”

Stalin was not convinced, he stood up sharply: "Comrade Andrei has only conducted an experiment, and the significance of this experiment is not to make deals with the bourgeoisie, but to expose the fact that the bourgeoisie abroad is not of the same mind. We need to take advantage of the contradictions between the foreign bourgeoisie and not be obsessed with what to do! Comrade Trotsky, your opinion is completely discarded! ”

Trotsky was so angry that he felt that Stalin was raising the bar, what kind of bullshit contradictions between the foreign bourgeoisie, taking advantage of the hair. People essentially just want to make money. You can also talk about how to use it, just say some empty words, and use it as a fart!

Seeing that these two goods were about to meet each other, Lenin spoke: "Comrade Stalin, can you tell us how the contradictions between the foreign intellectual classes can be used to solve the problems we are currently facing?" ”

Stalin really had some thoughts: "My opinion is that the fundamental solution to the problem should be solved by the Council of People's Commissars who should take the lead and communicate with the bourgeois governments abroad through official channels to divide and disintegrate them, so as to fundamentally lift their economic blockade of our country!" ”

Trotsky couldn't help but complain in his heart: "This Nima is bullshit, steel, you haven't woken up." How can you divide and disintegrate, and you can still break the alliance of Britain, the United States, France and Italy? Isn't that! ”

Lenin also felt that Stalin's idea was unrealistic, and that the Entente had long reached a consensus on the Russian question that the economic blockade was the best option they could make in the event that they could not carry out armed intervention for the time being, and that it was tantamount to a fool's dream to hope that the blockade would be broken by means of division and disintegration.

To tell the truth, Lenin just now had a little bit of a good impression of Stalin's speech, and felt that this speech was new and in line with his ideas, but now it seems that Stalin's speech is still a space pan and a matter of course, or Trotsky is more pragmatic.

So Lenin was no longer interested in listening to Stalin's nonsense, he turned to Trotsky and asked: "Comrade Trotsky, although Comrade Andrei has made certain explorations before, he has also achieved certain results. But you have to see that the amount of food that is about to arrive in our country is still very small and not enough to solve the current crisis. We need more food, and for that, tell me your opinion! (To be continued......)
