From the moment Zinoviev decided to enter Lenin's office, he was ready to pretend to be a grandson, and he would not fight back if he was beaten or scolded. Because he knows very well that the current situation is too unfavorable for him, if the master does not pull him, the black cauldron will be decided.

Of course, he also thought of a set of wording before entering the office, but the tutor did not play his cards according to common sense, and directly asked him what mistakes he was going to admit. Tsk, how does this make him speak?

That's right, Zinoviev didn't want to admit his mistake at all, he came to see the mentor to find a way to fool the mistake. Admitting one's mistake is tantamount to leaving a criminal record, and when you continue to fight in the future, it is easy for your opponent to catch a flaw and pull out your crotch.

But looking at Lenin's meaning in front of him, this time he must admit his mistake first, and if he does not admit his mistake, there is no need to talk about it later. It's a bit of a dead end!

After a moment of silence, Zinoviev sighed in his heart, he can't admit his mistake now, abandon the car and protect the handsome!

Suddenly, the man drooped his head and said: "On the question of the revolution in Estonia, I miscalculated the revolutionary situation, and in the moment my head was hot-headed, I made the mistake of attacking the enemy and causing losses to the Estonian revolution. ”

Lenin was a little amused in his heart, and through more than a year of observation, he completely saw Zinoviev's true face. As Plekhanov said, this guy is a political villain in the truest sense of the word. When the eye is low, the master wants to take advantage of the cheap, but nothing can be achieved!

If he really thinks in his heart, he will directly kick this bastard out of the office, and he will feel angry when he sees that big pie face. Unfortunately, politics is never vindictive. You can't be rash. In his position, it must be planned as a whole. There must be trade-offs. For those political villains, it is also necessary to both co-opt and suppress, and we must be prepared with both hands.

And now it seems that this guy Zinoviev, although stupid and greedy, is still useful. Lenin took a deep breath and said slowly: "Only these mistakes? ”

Zinoviev's heart was dripping blood, he didn't want to admit this part of the mistake, and he only admitted it after a five-fold discount, how can you listen to your tone, Master Mentor. My attitude is not in place? Do you still have to reflect deeply?

The face of the pie stole a glance at Lenin, and the expressionless face of the tutor made him feel a chill in his heart. Immediately he understood that it was not okay not to admit it.

After thinking about it, he asked very skillfully, "I know that I have made a lot of mistakes, and they are very serious. I deeply regret this, I hope that you and other comrades will help me unabated, and I am willing to correct my mistakes! ”

Lenin still did not let go, it is clear that Zinoviev still has a fluke mentality and wants to get by. Just play these little tricks at him, and Lenin will teach him a lesson!

"It's good that you have this kind of understanding." Lenin had a smile on his lips, but it was in the eyes of the pie. It was even more terrifying than the cold face just now, and sure enough, the mentor continued: "The principle of the organization is to cure the sick and save people, and to give comrades who have made mistakes a chance to repent. ”

Speaking of this, Lenin slammed and threw a heavy punch: "So be it! You should first go to the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection and have a good talk with the comrades of the Commission for Discipline Inspection, especially Comrade Felix, and talk about your misunderstanding...... After all, the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection is the department responsible for disciplinary affairs. You're done talking to Comrade Felix, come back to me......"

Zinoviev's face turned white with fright, and he said in his heart: "Nima, admit your mistake to the Man in the Iron Mask?" After talking to him, can I still come back? ”

The face of the pie is too clear, Lenin and Trotsky can tolerate the mistakes of their subordinates, and sometimes they will cover the lid, but Dzerzhinsky's goods are not in oil and salt at all, and when he chats and admits mistakes, there is no leniency at all!

Zinoviev did not really regret it, and the purpose of his repentance was not to pass the test, and going to Dzerzhinsky was tantamount to suicide. Naturally, Lenin also knew this, and the master did it on purpose, meaning nothing more than to say: "Gregory, you should be honest with Lao Tzu and have a more correct attitude." Playing tricks on Lao Tzu in person, you think Lao Tzu really can't control you. Believe it or not, I'll send you directly to the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection! ”

Zinoviev was really frightened, he realized how weak he was, the chairman of the Petrograd Soviet, the member of the Central Committee, the chairman of the Comintern, without the support of Lenin, those were all floating clouds. It can be said that he is not worth mentioning at all from the mentor, so dishonest and still towards Qin Duchu, the mentor can crush him with a finger!

Zinoviev's forehead was covered with cold sweat, and he was a little uncomfortable to speak, and said tremblingly: "I...... I'm still ...... Let's admit my mistake to you first! If you feel ...... If you think I'm hopeless, send me to Comrade Felix. ”

Lenin looked at Zinoviev quietly, he was not easy to fool, if the big pie face could not satisfy him next, then he really didn't mind sending someone to the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection to be sober and sober.

Zinoviev said slowly: "I bear the main leadership responsibility for this mistake, I inflicted heavy losses on the Estonian revolution......

Lenin interrupted him again and said impatiently: "To the point! ”

Now Zinoviev is a little dumbfounded, Lao Tzu has taken on the main leadership responsibility, isn't this the point? How important that is!

At that moment, Zinoviev wailed in his heart, as if the end was coming. Until Lenin snorted impatiently again: "I don't know what is the point?" Then I'll give you a heads-up! ”

As he spoke, the Master Mentor stared at the face of the pie with fierce eyes, and lectured him very harshly: "I have warned you again and again that you must be cautious in carrying out the revolutionary movement in Estonia, but you just don't listen to it, or you turn a deaf ear. The whole country has seen that you have abandoned the interests of the party and the country for your own interests and are doing anything wrong! This attitude is the key to introspection! ”

Zinoviev's forehead was covered with more cold sweat, and grains ran down his face, and in a moment the collar of his shirt was wet. However, he didn't dare to wipe his face at all, and he didn't even dare to move, for fear that the tutor would think that his attitude was still not good.

And Lenin didn't care so much. He just wants to teach a good lesson today. Let him know the way and know the way. Especially let him know that the anti-bone boy of the Dao Dynasty Qin Muchu is absolutely undeserved!

"And you? After being fooled by some people with ulterior motives, they began to think about what was wrong and completely forgot their principles and party spirit. Your position is quite unfirm and quite problematic! ”

Lenin squirted Zinoviev's face, still dissatisfied, and continued to teach: "What did Trotsky say about your performance in the defense of Petrograd at the same time? Have you forgotten? I think he's right, you're really a soft bone, and you don't have a position at all. You're a wall-to-wall plant! It's an out-and-out wall-riding pie! ”

Zinoviev was about to open his mouth to say something, but Lenin did not give him a chance to speak: "The lessons of the French Revolution are still vividly remembered, and the lessons of the February and October Revolutions are also in front of us. If you don't hurry up and change your style, I think you may be blown away by the wind one day! ”

Zinoviev was already sweating profusely at this time, his back and even his pants were drenched with sweat, and if it weren't for the heating in Lenin's office, he would have caught a cold. The face of the pie now understands what Lenin really cared about and was really angry about.

What the Mentor really cares about is not that he repeatedly ignores warnings. It was not the anger that led to the heavy losses of the Estonian Revolution, but what really made his old man angry. He dared to eat inside and out!

Zinoviev knows very well that this is not the first time he has betrayed his mentor, and he may have been blacklisted by his mentor a long time ago, and it is very likely that the mentor will wait for him to germinate in a solid state, and then settle the new accounts and old accounts together!

Come to think of it, no one would like to be a bone, especially not long ago, when Trotsky belittled you Zinoviev to the point of being worthless, and almost pointed your nose at you and called you a piece of rubbish. And judging from the fact that he forcefully sent Krestinsky to Petrograd to preside over the work of the party committee, can't you, a big pie face, see what his intentions are?

Yes, you and Li Xiaofeng are not very good, but you can be a member of the Central Committee, the chairman of the Petrograd Region Soviet, and the chairman of the Comintern, all because of my Lenin's support! If I don't bird you, you still don't know where to sit on the cold bench? Seeing that Kamenev is not, what is the current mix of your good friends, don't you know what to do!

At the thought of Kamenev, Zinoviev's heart became more and more worried, Comrade Stone was really completely forgotten, and last year he was expected to make a decision and return to the center of politics, but he was hit in the face. In order to turn over and make a comeback, he actually ran to Ufa again, and once again advocated some peace talks. As a result, he was arrested by Kolchak, who came to power in a coup d'état, and is now detained in Ufa, where he is not known for his life or death.

Compared with Comrade Stone, Zinoviev lived in paradise, and he, a fool, took revenge, and not only did he not appreciate the mentor who pulled him, but sold him to Trotsky, who looked down on him.

It's crazy!

Zinoviev finally realized where his biggest mistake was, and what is even more ridiculous and lamentable, he sold his mentor but was sold by Krestinsky, in a sense, Krestinsky also did a very happy deed.

At this time, Zinoviev was like he had been fished out of the water, and his cold sweat was even wet with his socks. After being scolded by the tutor and sobering up, he realized that he was indeed confused and dead, especially the trick of coming to admit his mistake to the tutor who thought he was clever was simply a child's trick.

Now, even he feels ashamed, this little trick, little cleverness, just want to fool the mentor over, just want to fool the pass. This is simply belittling the IQ of the tutor, and it is simply slapping the tutor in the face!

Anyway, if he changes places, Zinoviev will face such a shameless him, I'm afraid that he will directly send someone to throw him out of the city without even thinking about it. Shameless villain, you will die! Even he had a rare sense of shame, feeling that he was indeed a scumbag!

However, what Zinoviev didn't expect was that after the mentor scolded him, he did not abandon him, let alone fall into the ground, but said earnestly: "Your problem is always that point - your position is not firm, there is no principle!" I constantly warn and admonish you. But you don't listen. But even so. I still think you can save it! ”

Zinoviev was dumbfounded. How? The mentor still wants to pull him? How is this possible? At that time, he was confused and ashamed, dumbfounded and unable to say a word.

"But this is the last time I have pinned my hopes on you." The Mentor said very solemnly, "There will be no next time, and if you continue to be stubborn next time, I will have to act in accordance with the party's discipline." At that time, don't come to me, it's useless to look for me, just go to the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection to report! ”

said. Master Mentor waved his hand tiredly, "Now, you go!" ”

Zinoviev was at a loss, and the fact that the mentor showed such warmth and hatred of iron made the shame in his heart even stronger. He opened his mouth to say something of gratitude and loyalty, but the Mentor wouldn't listen.

"I don't need you to be grateful to me! You don't need to be faithful! I won't say anything superfluous, so I'll do it myself! ”

Zinoviev walked out of Lenin's office in a dejected state, and although he successfully passed the test, he always felt as if he had lost something, and he was depressed like a zombie without a soul. Returned to Petrograd.

"Hmph, he did it to himself!" Krestinsky commented contemptuously. "No one will tolerate Gregory's mistakes again and again, and this time, no one will come to save him, he's finished!"

Zinoviev, who was sentenced to death by Krestinsky, no longer has the same demeanor as before, like an old man waiting to die in his last years. With red on top of white, politics has always been so ruthless. Seeing that the big pie face is "no good", he used to have a good relationship with him, and the friends who were close to him all abandoned the darkness and turned to the light one by one. Either draw a line with him, or just turn the muzzle of the gun and scold him so much that he is bleeding.

Everyone, who had rebelled and left his relatives, had even received a notice from the relevant authorities asking him to vacate his house and order him to vacate his suite in the Neva Hotel and leave it to his comrades who needed it more, while the organization had found a more suitable place to live in the Vyborg district (workers' quarter) without a kitchen or toilet.

Krestinsky did not give up the opportunity to beat the water dogs, and constantly attacked the big pie face in the party committee and the Soviets, anyway, in his mouth, the big pie face was already worse than the counter-revolutionaries, and belonged to the kind of existence that wasted food alive, wasted bullets by shooting, and scared flowers and plants by hanging.

What is even more interesting is that the party cadres of the Petrograd region have completely forgotten about the German troops on the border, and also about Estonia, and it seems that for them there is nothing more important than criticizing Zinoviev.

Until that day, when Lenin suddenly remembered such a thing at a regular meeting of the Supreme Military Council, he asked: "When will the dispute with Estonia be resolved?" ”

This question seems to be knowingly asked, when will it be resolved? Hehe, it's better to ask who is going to solve it!

When the Mentor heard that the matter had not been resolved, and that the German army was gearing up to threaten Petrograd, he finally became furious: "What is this matter for, and no one has solved it?" Why has it been so long? Could it be that the relevant departments of the Petrograd region are all eating dry rice? ”

As soon as these three questions were raised, the whole party knew about it, and the mentor made great efforts, and it was time to investigate and hold accountable. However, Krestinsky was not panicked at all, he felt that the candidate for the black pot had already been decided, and it was none other than the big pie face, so the day after the mentor was angry, he once again published an editorial in the Petrograd Daily newspaper that criticized the big pie face. According to his own words, this is the last blow!

Is it the last hit? It can only be said that this was Krestinsky's last attack, because he was soon powerless to attack, because he was greeted by the heavy punch of the Mentor, and he could only kneel and hide his head in the crotch of his pants to support himself.

"Comrade Gregory made a mistake, he miscalculated the situation, but he had already made a deep introspection and self-criticism, and this attitude is the attitude of sincere correction. However, some other comrades had an extremely imcorrect attitude, fearing that the world would not be chaotic before the incident, and they talked big and nonsense, thinking that they did not listen to advice, but after the incident, they did not know at all that they were reflecting on their own mistakes, and only knew that they were blindly passing the buck and had no responsibility at all! What is particularly despicable is that he dared to openly attack comrades who had already admitted their mistakes and made introspection in the newspapers, without any sense of unity and fraternity among class comrades, and completely forgot the party's basic principle for dealing with comrades who made mistakes...... He is not curing the sick and saving people, but falling into the well, gloating! ”

Although Lenin's speech was made in an informal setting, the people sitting around him were basically big men at the level of members of the Central Committee, and everyone was a smart person.

With a thunderclap, the Petrograd region was shocked, and the vast majority of cadres did not expect that it was not Zinoviev who was sacrificed, but Krestinsky!

Immediately Krestinsky panicked, and he did not understand why Lenin would risk a showdown with Trotsky and insist on protecting Zinoviev. This is not scientific!

Trotsky, on the other hand, saw Lenin's intentions at a glance, and he said to Tukhachevsky, another very optimistic talent, in Nizhny Novgorod: "Lenin's point is very clear, he does not agree with Krestinsky to enter the Politburo, there is no room for negotiation at all!" (To be continued......)
