310 Reckoning
Lenin was upset, so naturally he would not give Stalin a good face, but the Iron Comrades who did not know what was going on did not realize this, and this blind fool, after a not so profound self-examination, turned around and began to praise Wrangel.
"I watched Comrade Wrangel grow up, and I introduced him to the Party, and I remember that it was the autumn of 1914, when the wind was very strong, and the moment he took the oath in front of the Party flag, I knew that he would become a real, thorough, and wholehearted Bolshevik in the service of the Party...... I am honored and proud to work with such a good comrade. But just yesterday, the enemy launched a despicable surprise attack, and Vraghel, in order to defend the party, to protect our comrades, in the face of a ferocious enemy, in the face of all kinds of torture, did not give in at all, and finally gave in generously! β
Speaking of this, Stalin seemed to be moved by his feelings, with tears in his eyes, and said very sadly: "Comrade Wrangel is not yet thirty years old!" The heroic sacrifice in such a good year is a great loss for our party and even more so for the revolution! I feel very sorry that I didn't protect such a good comrade......"
Li Xiaofeng looked at Stalin who was constantly sensational, at first he was amused by Comrade Steel's behavior, you really don't know whether you live or die, that is, you can't announce the truth, otherwise you dare to say that Wrangel's introduction to the party is you, hum, Comrade Steel, you are really good, you developed an enemy into a party member, and put him in an important position, almost let him take the party. If you really want to be held responsible, it's not too much to kill you!
At the beginning, Li Xiaofeng was a little gloating, hoping that his mentor would put Stalin on the blacklist, and at least make a heavy note so that he could settle accounts after the autumn. However, as Stalin's feelings became more and more engaged, he also became more and more sensational. He noticed that the expression on the face of the mentor had changed, from a little aggrieved as uncomfortable as constipation at the beginning, to a smile on his face now. There is even a faint hint of appreciation.
What's going on? Li Xiaofeng couldn't figure it out, he couldn't think of any reason for the mentor to appreciate Stalin, a guy who had more than enough success and more than enough failures, could it be that the mentor was disgusted. So much so that they are all insane?
To be honest, Li Xiaofeng was a little anxious at the time, and he really wanted to lie in the ear of the mentor and shout - mentor, you must resist it, you can't be fooled by steel!
However, his anxious appearance fell into Lenin's eyes, and in exchange for only shaking his head slightly and smiling lightly, which made someone laugh so much that his heart was furious, and he didn't know which one to sing in the Daoist Master! Fortunately, it is not that there are no people who do not understand. Sverdlov, who was sitting next to Li Xiaofeng, quickly cleared up his doubts.
"Don't worry! This little trick of Stalin could not be hidden from the eyes of Comrade Lenin, who was simply interested in Stalin's actions. β
What's there to be interested in here?
Li Xiaofeng really couldn't figure it out, Stalin was obviously pretending to be smart, otherwise he could boast of a traitor so shamelessly?
Sverdlov smiled and shook his head: "You don't understand. Stalin probably knew what he was saying, he was not pretending to be clever, he was purely saving himself! β
Save oneself? Well, Li Xiaofeng even felt that Stalin was harming himself, and you still dare to say that Wrangel was a traitor. Isn't this an eye medicine for the tutor?
Sverdlov smiled and said in one sentence: "It is precisely because of the betrayal of Wrangel that he has to say this, otherwise, he will really die!" β
Li Xiaofeng thought about it with his brain, turned several corners, and suddenly realized. That's right, it was precisely because of Wrangel's betrayal that Stalin wanted to praise that guy even more. For what? To put it simply, Wrangel was single-handedly pulled by him, and Stalin is like a grasshopper on a rope, if Wrangel is a traitor, he will not be able to run away from Stalin, so Stalin must establish a glorious image of Wrangel, the more brilliant the better. To put it mildly, the more brilliant Wrangel's image is, the more Stalin, as the head of the head, can also benefit. So whether he was forced or pushed along, Stalin could only praise Wrangel, he had no choice.
You say that this will offend and disgust Lenin, Stalin did not consider this possibility, and it should be said that if he did, then he would definitely be remembered by the teacher. But he has a way of minimizing the negative effects of this.
What's the solution? To put it bluntly, it is to increase the intensity, the crazy almost shameless touting of Wrangel, the bigger the better, the more outrageous the better, it is better to blow this guy as a saint!
You say that this is adding fuel to the fire, and it is purely a search for death! Hehe, you don't understand that. The peculiarities of Wrangel's case determined that Stalin's method of putting him to death and resurrecting him worked.
Think about it, why did Lenin have a grudge against him, and why did he bother him? At the root of the word, he still complained that he did not know how to use people, so Stalin could only make up for it from this aspect if he wanted to make up for it. How to make up for it? It proves that he has the wisdom to know people, at least the wisdom to make up for the dead.
It should be said that even if Wrangel did not defect, he was really tortured and heroically righteous, although this kind of behavior is worthy of praise and praise, but it is not worthy of unlimited exaltation like Stalin, the higher he is promoted, the more outrageous it is, and the more outrageous it is, the more it must be problematic - why did Stalin have to let a person who did not deserve this honor receive such a rare honor?
This is a question that everyone here will think about, and they will also ask, Comrade Steel, what are you doing this? Even if it's your confidential secretary and your confidant, isn't it a bit too much for you to be so indiscriminate?
Have you ever been? Of course, it is not the case, what Stalin wants is this kind of effect, what he wants is for the bigwigs attending the meeting to have this kind of doubt, but all the people present are smart, and none of them have insufficient IQ, and they absolutely want to get to the bottom of this kind of obviously problematic matter.
The truth is not difficult to find at all, as long as the bigwigs find out what Milyukov had said that night. Everything can be revealed to the world, and then they will suddenly realize - it turns out that Wrangel is a traitor, no wonder Stalin shamelessly put gold on the face of that goods, and dare to love Comrade Iron is protecting himself!
As long as this result comes out, Stalin's goal will be completely achieved, which is equivalent to him indirectly helping Lenin tell the secret that cannot be said, what opinion can the tutor have on him at that time? I'm afraid it will only think that it has a good attitude of admitting mistakes. It's worth saving, right?
After figuring this out, Li Xiaofeng admired Stalin, who was in tears on stage, and could come up with such a masterpiece. Such a covert way to save yourself, Comrade Steel, you are really a character! Truly. Li Xiaofeng can't do it without admiration, and if he encounters the same thing, the only way he can think of is to immediately make a profound review to the tutor, fully reflect on his mistakes, and strive for the tutor's forgiveness.
It should be said that Li Xiaofeng's method was able to pass the test smoothly, but the effect was far less than Stalin's method. Li Xiaofeng's method was too direct and not subtle at all, and Lenin was quite taboo about Wrangel's affairs, although he was forced to posthumously give Wrangel the title of martyr. But that doesn't mean he's willing to lift the fig leaf and expose everything.
I am afraid that the tutor is willing to accept a more subtle and subtle way of apology and review, for example, Stalin's method is very good, and the central bosses understand the truth of the matter quietly, and there is quite a little moisturizing and silent artistic conception in it. And Stalin was slapping himself in the face in public by doing so. This also made the mentor very relieved.
In conclusion, what reason is there not to admire Stalin, who was able to come up with such a brilliant solution? At least this fully shows that Comrade Iron and Steel is only a temporary ignorance and is deceived by the villain, while he himself is still a person with a lot of political intelligence and a good understanding of current affairs.
However, although Stalin's remedy was quite timely and in place, this did not mean that the mentor did not clean him up. There is a price to pay for making mistakes, even if you make up for it!
"Comrade Stalin's statement was very sincere and touching! We are all saddened by the loss of such a good comrade as Wrangel! β
Although Lenin said that he was sad, his expression did not show the slightest sense of pain, and he was calm and understated, as if he were mentioning an irrelevant little person. This has made a small number of people who are relatively slow to react and whose political IQ is relatively poor finally wake up.
After a pause, seeing that most of the bigwigs in the meeting understood what he meant, Lenin continued: "But it is not enough to feel sad! Heartache won't solve anything! β
Speaking of this, the Mentor's emotions became quite excited, "What we urgently need now is not verbal pain, but deep reflection!" For example, Comrade Stalin, if you had not been naively deceived by the enemy at that time, would all this have happened later? Will Comrade Wrangel still die tragically at the hands of the enemy? For all this, you have an unshirkable responsibility! β
The cold sweat on Stalin's forehead fell, and he would have thought that it was not too late to make amends, and even if the Mentor was angry, he would have forgiven him after this remedy. But who would have thought that as soon as the mentor came up, the spearhead was directly aimed at him, and a stick made him dizzy. The cold sweat on his head suddenly fell, and naturally he couldn't sit still anymore, and a clever spirit bounced up from his position.
"Comrade Lenin, I was wrong! I will continue to deeply reflect on my mistakes, strive not to be deceived by the enemy in my future work, and not let any good comrade make unnecessary sacrifices! β
Lenin smiled, did not deny Stalin's words, did not even pay attention to Stalin at all, and said to himself: "Last night, at the critical juncture, Comrade Stalin was not the only one who made mistakes, but there were also some comrades who were also quite simple-minded, convinced of the enemy's lies, but only listened to the kind reminders of his own comrades, and what he did was to make the enemy happy and the relatives painful!" Such a person is simply more hateful than a traitor who betrays the party and betrays the revolution! β
Speaking of this, Lenin turned to Stalin with a smile and asked: "Comrade Stalin, what do you say about dealing with such stupid and stubborn people?" β
Stalin was the second monk who couldn't figure it out, he couldn't understand who Lenin was talking about, and of course, no matter who Lenin was talking about, he had to show his attitude just from the gritted teeth of his mentor.
"I think that for such an unprincipled comrade, he should be removed from office in the first place. And then slowly pursue his mistakes......"
Lenin stared into Stalin's eyes and asked dissatisfiedly: "Is this enough?" β
Stalin looked at Lenin in horror, he already had an extremely bad feeling, as if he was the person Lenin was talking about? But this thing doesn't understand after thinking about it, in addition to being deceived last night, he doesn't seem to have anything to do with a few others, right? Could it be that the person who was remembered by the mentor had something to do with me?
Stalin guessed not badly at all. Voroshilov is not as simple as having anything to do with him, he is his cronies and friends at all. And the reason why Lenin used Stalin's hand to deal with Voroshilov was, in the final analysis, first of all, to knock this pockmarked face. The second is also to breathe a sigh of relief for someone.
Stalin quickly made up his mind that no matter who Lenin was talking about or how close he was to himself. Now he can only abandon the car to protect the handsome, first save himself is saying, he immediately replied categorically: "If the circumstances are particularly serious, then not only should he be suspended from all his duties, and he should be held accountable, but if it is serious, he can be considered expelled from the party!" β
Lenin nodded, as if casually, and said, "That's right!" Comrade Stalin, last night Comrade Voroshilov committed a series of extremely stupid and naΓ―ve mistakes of principle, and I will hand him over to you for review. Please report to me as soon as possible! β
Stalin opened his mouth slightly, he really didn't expect that Lenin would have to deal with Voroshilov. Voroshilov's relationship with him naturally goes without saying, the big man is obedient to him, more obedient than his own son, let him personally deal with this big man strictly and severely. Well, Stalin was dumb and couldn't say what he was suffering from!
Lenin didn't care whether Stalin was happy or not, boy, don't think that you can get away with it, your people will be stabbed all the time, if it weren't for your knowledge. I'll clean up with you today!
"Of course, last night, although some comrades made mistakes, there were also some comrades who took active actions to save the party and the revolution, and their merits deserve to be remembered forever! One of the most important ones to praise is Andrey. Comrade Petrovich and the Turkoand Chinese trade unions he led. Without their desperate efforts and bloody struggles, comrades, I am afraid that we would not be able to sit here and have a meeting now! β
The applause rang out, and the bigwigs in the center, even the one who didn't like or admire Li Xiaofeng very much, had to admit that if there was no one and his team last night, I am afraid that as Lenin said, they would have been given a meeting in Peter and Paul prison.
The applause continued for a long time, and it was not until Lenin signaled everyone to be quiet, and the applause slowly stopped.
"In order to commend Comrade Andrei and the Special Branch and the Chinese Trade Union Corps under his leadership, after discussions with the Central Committee, it was unanimously decided to give Comrade Andrei and the Special Branch and the Chinese Trade Union a great meritorious service and award them the title of Heroic Bolshevik...... In view of the fact that the Chinese Troupe had not yet had an official name, the Central Committee unanimously decided to confer on them the title of Red Eagle......"
Although Lenin's speech was very impassioned, Li Xiaofeng sincerely thought that this little reward was really insignificant, Nima, it was all verbal things, it was all false, can you give some dry goods? Give some funds and materials, that's so real!
However, Lenin's next sentence dispelled the idea that someone wanted to do something: "Of course, the Central Committee knows that this little reward is really insignificant compared to the efforts of the comrades." But the central government's funds are too tight, and more things can't be obtained! Comrade Andrey, please explain to the comrades of the Special Branch and the Red Eagle Regiment that the Central Committee will always remember their contribution to the revolution! Forever! β
Lenin's words were so straightforward, Li Xiaofeng naturally knew that dry goods were absolutely useless, and it was only right to quickly accept the praise and be grateful to the Central Committee. But as soon as this guy was about to express his determination with a handful of snot and tears, Lenin directly pressed him back:
"Comrade Andrey, words of thanks and gratitude need not be said. It is we who really need to show gratitude and gratitude! β
Li Xiaofeng sat back in a daze, and the mentor really got into the main topic of today's meeting: "Comrades, after yesterday's confrontation. It should be clear to us that the Provisional Government has seen us as a thorn in the side, and wants to get rid of us as soon as possible; And the Soviets did not stand on our side in justice and morality. Although we were extremely fortunate to have crushed the enemy's plot, there was nothing to be proud of. I'm afraid that while we are in session, our enemies are already plotting a new conspiracy! β
The bigwigs at the meeting whispered, some of whom were deeply impressed by Lenin's words, but there were also a handful of people who did not care, such as Kamenev and Zinoviev, who completely scoffed at Lenin's words, and their attitude was so consistent and clear:
"We oppose this statement, and from last night's confrontation, we can draw two conclusions: First, the enemy's strength is stronger than we imagined, and compared with them, our strength is very weak, and we think that it is extremely inappropriate to blindly carry out a new revolution, or even the history of armed struggle, in such a situation where the enemy is strong and we are weak! Second, we must win the confidence of the Soviets, without whose support our party would have been doomed last night! Therefore, we strongly demand that our Party must repair the rift with the Soviets and heal the previous misunderstandings. We believe that it is most appropriate and reasonable to carry out the revolutionary struggle only under the leadership of the Soviets! ββ¦β¦)
