The British are worthy of being old hooligans who have been passed down for hundreds of years, and their methods of playing hooligans are quite evil. For example, this time, the British did a very clever job of using public opinion to make a big fuss, of course, not to turn public opinion and cheer for the Japanese. Rather, they sell smuggled goods from the standpoint of so-called humanitarianism.

What bootlegged? Naturally, they are concerned about the so-called humanitarian catastrophe in Mongolia and pretend to weep over the inhuman suffering of the Mongolian people. He also strongly criticized the war behavior of the Soviet Union and Japan from the perspective of human rights.

In any case, the British strongly demanded an immediate truce between the Soviet Union and Japan, and that they should be examined by the League of Nations Special Investigation Commission. What to investigate? Naturally, so-called war crimes.

This hand is very disgusting, it seems that the attitude of the British is impartial and fair, but everyone can see that this product is deliberately embarrassing the Soviets. It is not even excluded that this so-called investigative team, after arriving at the scene, was manipulated by the British to draw a conclusion that embarrassed the Soviet Union.

As for the Japanese, none of them are members of the League of Nations today, so it is completely possible to not bird the investigation team, and it is conceivable that the final investigation team will be able to investigate the Soviet Union.

After learning of this news, Li Xiaofeng was also quite speechless, and when he was formulating foreign policy in the twenties, he was always on par with breaking the isolation and blockade of imperialism, and it took a lot of effort to enter the League of Nations.

But in Li Xiaofeng's view, there is no point in joining the League of Nations, this body is a rogue organization manipulated by Britain and France to serve the interests of the rogue national led by Britain and France. Joining this institution is tantamount to putting a tight spell on yourself, and you have to listen to the beating of Britain and France when you have nothing to do.

What's the point? Look at how smart the Americans are, Britain and France do not recognize his status as a big hooligan. He will not join the League of Nations. I will not be angry with you.

At that time, Li Xiaofeng was strongly opposed to joining the League of Nations. But whoever made him unable to break his arm and thigh, Lenin thought that it made sense to join the League of Nations, and it was useless for anyone to oppose it. Historically, however, after the outbreak of the Winter War, the Soviet Union was expelled from the League of Nations under strong accusations from Finland. After all these years of tossing and turning in the League of Nations, in the end the Soviet Union did not reap any benefits, so what should I do.

So the British demanded to investigate what humanitarian catastrophe afterward. Li Xiaofeng directly proposed at the Politburo meeting: "This is the political blackmail of British imperialism, and in order to ensure that the core interests of our country are not affected, we can consider withdrawing from the League of Nations ......."

Kamenev immediately objected: "Nonsense, what will the whole world think of us by withdrawing from the League of Nations at this time? ”

Li Xiaofeng sneered: "The whole world? The two imperialist blocs, Britain and France, represent the whole world? The League of Nations, the imperialist spoils distribution body, is the representative of the will of the whole world? Although the world revolution is at a low ebb, this does not mean that we should not unite the proletariat of the whole world, nor does it mean that we will not continue to carry out the revolution in depth in the future! Joining the League of Nations, joining this dirty imperialist club, greatly affected the image of the Soviet Union among the proletariat of the world! Let the toiling masses of the whole world think that we are complicit in imperialism! ”

Li Xiaofeng's words were righteous and Ling Ran, but in the eyes of the great elders present, they felt that it was so painful. Especially Trotsky. The world revolution was his core idea, but his system was in a state of flux in Lenin's time. For more than ten years. Although the Bolsheviks always talked about the world revolution, that was just a lip service. No one is ready to export the revolution on a large scale again, everyone is just shouting slogans.

At this time, Li Xiaofeng took this slogan seriously, and even used the slogan of the Trotskyists to slap Kamenev, an important member of the Trotskyists, in the face, which was a bit of a bully. But Trotsky was bullied and could not fight back, unless he let himself out and did not want this old face. Even Stalin and Sverdlov found it somewhat amusing, they had a deeper understanding of someone's shamelessness.

"There is no contradiction between the world revolution and the preservation of the image of our party among the world proletariat and our integration into the normal international community." It took Trotsky half a day to hold back these words: "Judging from the current international situation, the British, although they have sinister intentions, have taken advantage of the attention of the people of the world to the humanitarian catastrophe, and in this case, we have the feeling that we will not be guilty of withdrawing from the League of Nations." Doing so is detrimental to our international image. ”

After a pause, Trotsky added: "Therefore, it is not a good idea to withdraw from the League of Nations for the time being, and we should be more resourceful in defusing the enemy's tricks." ”

It should be said that this is still reasonable, but what Li Xiaofeng is best at is playing cards with uneasy common sense: "In this case, then I Jianyi, after defusing the enemy's vicious attack, we should resolutely withdraw from the League of Nations, and not give the enemy another chance to engage in conspiracy!" ”

Trotsky and Kamenev were stunned for a moment, they did not expect someone to come to this hand, and to put it bluntly, someone's real intention was to withdraw from the League of Nations. Since Trotsky you say that this time the time is not right, then when the rumors have passed, the time will be right!

Trotsky was suddenly remorseful, he had no idea that someone's intention was to withdraw from the League of Nations, and the reason why he proposed it at this time was nothing more than a general. And they were stupidly fooled.

So why did Li Xiaofeng quit the League of Nations? Because by 1935, the League of Nations was really a body that had no binding force on the evil forces of the Axis powers, but on the contrary was a great yoke to the forces that opposed the Axis powers. Anyone who continued to mix with the League of Nations was all pitted by Britain and France.

Moreover, from the very beginning, Britain and France had a hostile and suppressive attitude towards the Soviet Union, and at one time they were ready to divert the Nazi disaster to the east, and were ready to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight to reap the benefits of the fisherman. Thanks to history, the Soviet Union was shrewd enough to use the "Soviet-German Non-Aggression Pact" to trick Britain and France.

In Li Xiaofeng's view, it can't be worse than in history, isn't it just using Germany to trap people, who wouldn't. It was entirely possible to conclude a non-aggression pact with Germany in advance, so that Hitler would have been relieved and bold from the beginning, and the appeasement policy of Britain and France would become the most special international joke in history.

From this point of view, what does it mean to stay in the League of Nations? Think that the People's Commissariat for Foreign Affairs has too few things to do and that the work is too easy?

Of course. Li Xiaofeng strongly demanded to withdraw from the League of Nations. And not just because this institution is meaningless. More importantly, it is out of political needs. What kind of politics is needed? That is to dismantle the Trotsky-Kamenev-Zinoviev political alliance.

Some comrades may not understand what is the relationship between withdrawing from the League of Nations and dismantling the Trotskyist political alliance. These eight poles can't hit together!

Is that really the case? Let's take our time. After joining the League of Nations, the position of the Comintern became rather awkward, and in order to maintain relations with Britain and France and other imperialists, the Comintern naturally did not play any role in these big hooligan countries. It can only play a role in some third-rate countries or in special countries like China, which are semi-feudal and semi-colonial.

In a sense, the position of the Comintern was awkward, which also led to the fact that this body did not support important communist parties such as the French Communist Party and the German Communist Party. Especially after the German Communist Party was boiled by the Nazis, the Comintern could not even let out a fart. This is really aggrieved.

Anyway, for Zinoviev, the chairman of the Comintern, this kind of shape really made him unhappy, and he, the head of the Communist Party of the whole world, was like a puppet, and his small life was called aggrieved. Even if he was reunited with Trotsky, it could not change the situation in which his political influence was very weak.

Can Zinoviev be satisfied with this?

If you think about it, he had a normal relationship with Trotsky and Kamenev, a peripheral member of the core Trotskyist leadership, and Trotsky did not fully trust him, and their relationship sounded like nothing more than mutual use.

In this case. Zinoviev wanted to greatly expand his political influence, and Trotsky would be worried at first. will not agree. After all, the cake is only so big, and if you Zinoviev eat more, then I, Trotsky, will have to eat less. With the current trend of the two major political groups in the Soviet political arena fighting each other, Trotsky may be even more anxious than Zinoviev to expand the influence and authority of the regime.

Moreover, if you think about it, the Trotskyists had two representatives in the Comintern, Kamenev was also on the other hand, and Zinoviev expanded his popularity in the Comintern, so how could Kamenev be happy? Would you be willing to be a little brother with a big pie face?

In this way, Stalin and Sverdlov were given the opportunity to have little influence in the Comintern for them, and they would not mix with that. As for the League of Nations, after restoring normal diplomatic relations with the United States, it also seemed rather frivolous, and the United States did not join the League of Nations anyway, so in fact it was just that.

That being the case, then withdraw from the League of Nations, give Zinoviev a little benefit, let him expand the business of the Comintern, and make him happy. If it is done properly, it is always possible to smash the political alliance of the Trotskyists and let Zinoviev separate from them, right?

So this time, when Stalin communicated with Zinoviev in private and expressed a certain amount of "goodwill", the undisciplined pie face was really moved. It was only Lenin's request for him to follow Trotsky, who now that Lenin had retired and had taken the position of Grand Elder, it was time to plan for the longer term.

Of course, Zinoviev did not intend to change his court immediately, and he was not stupid in the face of the pie, and in that Trotskyist alliance he belonged to the margins, even if he went to Stalin-Sverdlov, he was still a marginal man.

The big pie face really doesn't plan to be a marginal person, he sees it very clearly, if he wants to keep his position in the Politburo, he has to learn from Dzerzhinsky, what is the reason why the Man in the Iron Mask has been standing for more than ten years? That is, to maintain neutrality impartially, to maintain a balance between the Trotskyists and Leninists, so that both sides have to give him face.

Zinoviev believed that he now had the capital to learn from Dzerzhinsky, and whether it was Trotsky, Stalin and Sverdlov, he was now in a balanced situation. He goes either way, and that side wins. At this time, both parties have to give him face, and the position will naturally be stable.

Sure enough, as soon as he expressed his dissatisfaction with the position of the Comintern, Stalin hinted that he could help improve it. And within two days, Li Xiaofeng, the former nemesis, personally forced Trotsky to withdraw from the League of Nations. Anyway, the pie face was very pleasant and proud, and he felt that it was time to talk to Trotsky and knock on the old To's bamboo pole. He believed that as long as he hinted at Stalin's wooing to Lao To. Lao Tuo will grant his wish in no time.

Is this the case? It's about the same as Zinoviev thought. Trotsky relented. Sue him, as long as he does not side with Stalin, he will soon expand the influence of the Comintern.

"Gregory is exactly as you guessed!" Stalin spat out a cigarette and said with disdain.

Li Xiaofeng smiled and said: "It's not strange, we all know him as a person!" ”

Sverdlov also said: "What's more funny is that this guy is probably still proud, still thinking that he is clever, and thinks that he has beaten us!" ”

Speaking of which. Whether it was Stalin, Sverdlov, Li Xiaofeng, Ruzutak, even such good old people as Kalinin began to laugh out loud. Because it was Zinoviev who was really calculated.

The guy thought he was a strange thing, but he definitely didn't expect that neither Stalin nor Sverdlov really meant to woo him. Just as Li Xiaofeng said just now, those events before and after the October Revolution made everyone here see clearly what kind of person Zinoviev was.

This guy is obviously as timid as a mouse, but he thinks he is smart, and he always thinks that he is the one who can control the overall situation, but he has no control power. And the willpower is not much stronger than simply noodles. To put it bluntly, he is a man of great wisdom. is a lot of cleverness, and every time I lose a big thing because of a small loss, I can't react when I am fooled.

After seeing clearly the personality of the big pie face, Stalin and Sverdlov were not interested in accepting him as a pig teammate, for Steel and Xiao Si, the four-person combination on their side was already very reasonable, and the power was very balanced. The introduction of the big pie face seemed to give Trotsky a slap in the face, as if he had taken the advantage. But in reality, the inclusion of the pie face will only upset the balance of power and dismantle their alliance.

If you think about it, in today's alliance between Stalin and Sverdlov, Steel and Xiaosi are the core, Ruzutak and Kalinin are the ones who help beat the side drums, and then Ordzhonikidze and Li Xiaofeng belong to the flag-waving and shouting. Everyone has a clear division of labor and a clear hierarchy, and they are all satisfied with their position in the group.

At this time, a Zinoviev was suddenly stuffed in, and in his capacity as the Grand Elder of the Politburo, he had to occupy at least the position of Ruzutak and Kalinin, which meant that he would inevitably take away a part of the political interests from Ruzutak and Kalinin.

So that Ruzutak and Kalinin can be happy? If power is not divided from Ruzutak and Kalinin, either a part of the benefits will have to be taken from the hands of Steel and Xiaosi himself, or it will have to be taken from Li Xiaofeng and Ordzhonikidze at a lower level. The first option is probably not happy with Xiao Si and Steel, while the second option will detonate the contradictions within the faction.

Therefore, for a political group, it is not that the more great elders there are, the stronger they are, but that the internal balance and unity are stronger. Without Zinoviev, the-stirring stick, the alliance between Stalin and Xiao Si is undoubtedly more stable and united, and after the introduction of the big pie face, it will make everything chaotic!

It was precisely because of this realization that from the very beginning Stalin and Sverdlov did not think of wooing Zinoviev, not only did they not even want to win over the face of the pie, but they did not even have any intention of wooing Comrade Shi, another unstable factor of Trotskyism.

So how do you break up the Trotskyist alliance? Quite simply, to create contradictions within the Trotskyists, so that they can divide the spoils unevenly and strife among themselves. For example, this time, Stalin only hinted at one or two, and then Li Xiaofeng said a few words in the Politburo, but in fact, he didn't give a big face to any political interests. In fact, it just threw away an empty word, and then it made a mess within the Trotskyists.

Unlike Stalin and Petrity, although Lenin combined Trotsky, Kamenev, and Zinoviev, Trotsky's alliance was not aligned, unlike Petros, Stalin, and Ruzutak and Kalinin who had always been Leninists. Trotsky's big men in the coalition are half-hearted, you have your ideas, he has his intentions, to put it mildly, just a rabble.

Such a rabble is only superficially powerful, but in fact it is a plate of scattered sand. If it was Lenin, he, with his high prestige, could barely "unite" the gang. But Trotsky did not have the prestige of Lenin, and Kamenev and Zinoviev did not buy him much. And these two people have always been ambitious, and the small abacus is a pile.

For example, this time, Trotsky had to pay a certain price to appease Zinoviev, Kamenev over there was very unhappy, and Trotsky had to be busy fighting the fire when he made a disturbance.

All in all, it was a vicious circle, because Kamenev and Zinoviev would never be satisfied, and as soon as Trotsky could no longer satisfy them, the two guys would immediately turn their backs on them.

And for Stalin and Sverdlov, there is no need to really win over the stone and the pie face, just keep seducing the two fools with empty words and white stripes, and arouse their ambitions and desires.

If nothing else, it will take at most three years, or maybe even two years, for the two to part ways with Trotsky, when the Trotskyists will be defeated, and Steel and Siu will only have to be able to receive the fruits of victory. (To be continued......)
