Completely different from Ordzhonikidze's anger, Georgi was still very calm, did not take someone's anger seriously at all, and said lightly: "You don't have any evidence that what I said is wrong, do you?" ”

Ordzhonikidze was speechless, he really had no evidence to prove the innocence of Mikoyan and Kirov, and Georgy kicked the ball back, he couldn't answer the question at all.

Of course, as an old revolutionary and a former member of the Central Committee with old seniority, Ordzhonikidze can also leave some questions unanswered, especially in the face of a junior like Georgi, it is okay to rely on the old and sell the old at the right time.

Ordzhonikidze's eyes widened, and he said angrily: "Now I ask you, or do you ask me!" ”

"Whoever asserts will bear the proof!" Georgy pushed him back without being salty, "We have ample evidence that Mikoyan and Kirov are highly suspicious. Now that you don't think they're suspicious, it's up to you to prove it, isn't it? ”

The green tendons on Ordzhonikidze's forehead were beating, he had never met such a hateful young man, and he didn't buy his account at all if he didn't eat oil and salt, and he kept teasing him lukewarmly, neither yin nor yang. How could he stand it!

"I'm not going to talk nonsense with you!" Ordzhonikid asked menacingly, "I'll ask you the last time, will you let people go!" ”

"Then I can tell you once at the very least, don't think about going anywhere until Mikoyan and Kirov are cleared of suspicion!"

The eyes of the two men met in the air, and Ordzhonikid tried hard to show his momentum and overwhelm Georgi. But no matter how much he stared. How to apply pressure. Georgi is just as immobile as a mountain.

This feeling of helplessness made Ordzhonikidze so depressed that he was about to vomit blood, and in the end he could only drop a sentence: "I will react to Comrade Lenin, the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection is already lawless!" After that, he walked away.

Angry with Ordzhonikidze, Suslov became more and more admired Georgi, and only those who really knew Ordzhonikidze knew how much influence he had in the party and who could be elected to the Central Committee in 1912. None of them are good stubble. To put it mildly, this one is much older than Stalin and Sverdlov, after all, he was the main member of the Central Committee in 1912, and the latter two were only alternate Central Committee members.

Being able to stick to his principles in front of such a sparkling old comrade and not give an inch made Suslov look at Ordzhonikid with admiration, "Comrade Georgi, you just said it so well, you ran away with this old bastard!" ”

Georgi was not as naïve as Suslov, if there was another way to go. He didn't want to offend Ordzhonikidze so hard, of course. It's not because he's afraid, it's that he thinks that such a direct confrontation won't solve anything, but will anger Ordzhonikidze, and make this guy make trouble for their detective work regardless of it.

If you can avoid trouble, why not? However, Ordzhonikidze's last sentence had completely exposed his true purpose, that he was trying to get Mikoyan and Kirov out of the mess, that is, to mess around. Now that the other party has made it clear that Che Ma is going to make trouble with him, he Georgi should not fight!

"By the way," Suslov suddenly asked, "is your inference about Mikoyan and Kirov true?" Well, to be honest, I think your reasoning is very plausible, and it is basically in line with the facts that we already know...... Will we focus on it in the future? ”

Georgi smiled bitterly again, and said to Suslov in a serious tone: "Forget my inferences, those don't make any sense!" ”

"No point?!" Suslov stammered and screamed, "How is that possible, I think your reasoning is reasonable!" ”

Georgi shook his head, "Comrade Mikhail, no matter how good the inferences are, they are nothing more than speculation, as Comrade Ordzhonikidze just said, we do not have any evidence to prove these inferences!" ”

"But we can follow the map!" Suslov reminded, "We can follow your inferences and dig deeper little by little......"

Georgi was still shaking his head: "There is nothing to dig into, my inference just now is complete nonsense, and it is not tenable at all!" ”

"What!" Suslov was stunned, he screamed: "But you just did ...... again"

Georgi interrupted him: "There is no way, you didn't see it just now, Comrade Ordzhonikidze is already red-eyed, if we don't find an excuse to push him back, he will definitely be endless." How do we work then? ”

Suslov nodded as if he didn't understand, thinking about it, Ordzhonikidze's arrogance just now, if there was no reasonable excuse, it was really difficult to send him away. However, Suslov always felt that Georgy did not tell him the real reason, and if Mikoyan and Kirov's suspicions were far-fetched, then they should not continue to be detained, and they should be released!

Georgy saw Suslov's doubts and was sincerely pleased: "Comrade Mikhail, it's very good that you can think independently!" Indeed, the seizure of Mikoyan and Kirov was a bit far-fetched, but we had to do it, not only because they were suspicious, but because they would not interfere with the armed uprising in Moscow! ”

Suslov was stunned, he didn't understand what this case had to do with the revolution in Moscow, the people who obstructed the uprising had already been arrested?

"You don't understand!" "Before leaving Petrograd, Comrade Felix solemnly reminded me that the situation in Moscow is quite complicated, and there are a large number of supporters of Kamenev and Zinoviev, who will do everything possible to stop the armed uprising. And the task of Comrade Andrei's trip is to fight against these compromise capitulationists......"

Suslov interjected and asked: "I know, but now it seems that Comrade Andrei has already completed this mission very well?" As long as the last few enemies entrenched in the Alexei Academy of Military Technology are eliminated, the Moscow uprising will be victorious, won't it? ”

"Yes, yes. But it can also be said that it is not! Georgi said solemnly. The situation is not so simple. From today's sudden attack by the Moscow Central Executive Committee against Comrade Andrei and Comrade Vladimirsky, we can see that the compromise capitulators are not dead hearted, they are still trying to sabotage the revolution, or rather, they are preparing to steal the fruits of the victory of the revolution! ”

Speaking of this, Georgie was a little angry, "Think about it. What would have happened today if Comrade Andrei had not found an opportunity to ask us for help, if he and Comrade Vladimirsky had been controlled by the Central Executive Committee in Moscow? ”

Although Suslov did not like a certain immortal, he had to admit at this time that Li Xiaofeng was of great significance to the revolution in Moscow, and without his decisive attack the night before, I am afraid that the situation of the struggle in Moscow would have been completely different.

If the inactive Moscow Central Executive Committee is allowed to steal the military power, then the revolution will inevitably enter a dead end again. Thinking of this, Suslov had some idea of what Georgi wanted to detain Mikoyan and Kirov.

He asked, "Are you afraid that they will get in the way?" ”

Georgi nodded and said sadly, "You saw it too." After we detained Mikoyan and Kirov, he was so arrogant. If you let them out. How devastating it will be! ”

Suslov nodded slowly, he somewhat understood Georgi's painstaking efforts, but he was still a little puzzled, "But we don't have any evidence to prove that Mikoyan and Kirov must be guilty?" If they are innocent......"

"If they are proven innocent in the future, if it can be confirmed later that they did not create obstacles to the revolution in Moscow, then I will personally apologize to them!" "But, what we can see now is that they are very suspicious. Extraordinary times must use extraordinary means! I can only wronged them! ”

Although Suslov understood very well, he still said a little sourly: "You trust Comrade Andrei so much? In case he ......"

Georgi interrupted him again, "It's not that I blindly trust him, but that based on the evidence we have so far, he is the only one who can be trusted in this incident." Others, whether Mikoyan and Kirov, or Muralov and Ordzhonikidze, have problems to a greater or lesser extent. We can only choose to believe the least suspicious person! ”

Li Xiaofeng didn't know that Georgi trusted him so much. However, if Georgi can find out the truth of the case in the end, I am afraid that he will have to vomit blood. The person he thinks is the least suspect is the real one behind it, and it is he who makes the case extremely complicated.

"How's the battle going?" After returning to the front line without danger, Li Xiaofeng asked Rokossovsky about the current state of the battle.

"It didn't go particularly well!" Rokossovsky sighed and introduced: "The enemy has now been compressed by us in a small area of half a square kilometer, but their resistance is unusually stubborn, relying on every building to entangle us to the end......"

Li Xiaofeng's brows furrowed, he didn't like street fighting at all, and he asked, "Can't you destroy these buildings with artillery?" ”

Rokossovsky smiled bitterly, "It's very difficult, most of the buildings of the Alexei Military Technical Academy are made of reinforced concrete, and the caliber of our infantry artillery is too small, we can only dig holes in these buildings, and we can't completely destroy them at all...... According to my estimates, we need at least 8-inch heavy artillery to achieve the goal. ”

Isn't this a joke, these infantry guns were captured from the captain of the transport brigade Liang Bozev, where to find 8-inch heavy guns at this time and a half? And even if you can find it, it will take time to get it, right?

And now Li Xiaofeng is a little nervous about time, the Moscow Central Executive Committee is like a fish in his throat, and there is a possibility that he will continue to make trouble with him at any time, and outside Moscow, Frunze's troops are also coming in the stars. Li Xiaofeng didn't want to give the credit to Frunze, even if there was no conflict of interest between them, but credit is credit, and no one would give it away generously, right?

However, the difficulties are real, the enemy who is still trapped in the beast is definitely not willing to sit idly by, they will resist frantically, and his troops lack heavy weapons, if they carry out a strong attack regardless of it, the casualties will probably be relatively large.

Li Xiaofeng is not a woman's kindness, and he is ready to learn from the future generations of American imperialism to do zero casualties, the reason why he works so hard to reduce casualties. The main reason is that I am afraid that the Moscow Central Executive Committee will find fault with the eggs. He had offended them so badly in Moscow. If nothing else, they will definitely seize everything and attack him. Li Xiaofeng is not interested in being a target. So we can only try to eliminate some possible excuses. However, this problem seems to be unsolvable, unless he, an immortal, personally goes down to charge, it is really difficult to destroy this handful of enemies without blood.

Li Xiaofeng was worried, and the enemy in the encirclement was even more worried than him, Captain Kulikov was patrolling his line of defense worriedly, you read that right, it was a captain and not a second lieutenant. After being besieged in this small projectile area, the National Salvation Revolutionary Committee generously promoted the remaining soldiers and officers by two levels in order to boost morale and let the White soldiers continue to work hard.

But such a reward is meaningless for Kulikov, his life is lost, even if he is directly promoted to general, what is the use? A living slave is also stronger than a dead ghost general.

"Colonel, the enemy has been repulsed......" he sat limply next to Yazov, the new colonel, who was not much better in spirit, and in the previous battle, he had lost an eye. I almost went to see God early because of excessive blood loss.

"How many brothers do we have?" Yazov asked in a muffled voice.

"No more than five hundred...... In addition to the wounded soldiers, I am afraid that there are only 300 people who can hold guns......"

Yazov was silent for a moment. Laughing at himself, he said, "Now, I finally don't have to worry about the lack of weapons!" ”

Kulikov didn't like the joke at all, and he tentatively asked: "Colonel, we have done our duty as a soldier, can we ......?"

"The National Salvation Revolutionary Committee refused to surrender," Captain Yazov sighed, if he could, he didn't want to surrender, but the group of rats from the National Salvation Revolutionary Committee sternly rejected his proposal, forcing him to fight to the rear, "They said that reinforcements would ...... soon"

"To hell with the reinforcements!" Kulikov was furious, and from the 26th, the old men told them that reinforcements would arrive immediately, but now three days have passed, and he has not even seen the shadow of reinforcements, but their enemy, the Bolshevik rebels, is fighting more and more, and the more they fight, the more firepower they have.

Kulikov roared angrily: "The so-called reinforcements are simply a dream!" It's just a lie that fools us into selling our lives. Those bastards are just playing on us! ”

Yazov could understand Kulikov's anger, and he was not like that, but as a soldier, he felt that he should and must obey the orders of his superiors.

"Wait a little longer, maybe there's hope!" He said with a wry smile.

"There is no hope!" Kulikov suddenly hugged his head and said bitterly: "Colonel, if you still want to keep the last hope, you should order the young man to surrender!" They've done their best! Good lads like them, they shouldn't have to die here! It's worthless! ”

Yes, after more than a day of fierce fighting, Kulikov's opinion of the non-commissioned officers and cadets under his command began to change, and it is undeniable that they are indeed very poor and lack combat experience. But there is a big advantage, they can be regarded as model soldiers compared with those veteran ruffians and old fritters on the front line. He can carry out orders more seriously, and his fighting spirit is relatively high, and even a small part of them that are more fanatical can really be regarded as forgetting death.

For such soldiers, Kulikov felt that they should get more, they should live better than those ruffians, and there is no reason to send the best soldiers in Russia to death!

Yazov was silent, he didn't know how to refuse Kulikov, although he was right. But - an order is an order, it can only be executed, not refused!

Just when Yazov was at his most difficult, a herald temporarily relieved him of the siege: "Colonel, Napokov Duma invites you to a meeting!" ”

"Meeting?" Yazov asked blankly, "What meeting?" ”

"His Excellency the Duma didn't explain it to me, he just asked you to go!"

Yazov sighed and instructed Kulikov: "I'll go to a meeting, the troops will be under your command for the time being, and before I come back, fight to the end!" ”

As he spoke, he slowly stood up against the wall, and slowly walked behind the herald to the cellar. He walked slowly, not only because the stairs leading to the cellar were so dim, which was difficult and dangerous for him with only one eye, but also, of course, because he wanted to know what was going on with Napokov.

Is it an order for us to break through?

As soon as this thought came to Yazov's mind, it made him shiver for a moment or two, after being surrounded, he didn't think about breaking through, and the masters of the National Salvation Revolutionary Committee didn't want to wait for death. So, at that time, he organized two breakout operations, but each time he was driven back by the Bolshevik rebels with machine guns and artillery. Except for sacrificing a lot of good guys, they didn't get any cheap.

Anyway, after these two lessons, Yazov learned wisely and resolutely opposed the breakthrough, which was purely suicidal. If Napokov wanted to order him to kill himself, he would firmly refuse the order.

"Colonel Yazov, please be seated!" Napokov pointed to a barrel, "I heard that the war is not good? ”

Yazov sat down and said in a muffled voice: "That's right, there are more and more enemies, and if we go on like this, we will soon be unable to hold it!" ”

Napokov nodded, and suddenly said: "The National Salvation Revolutionary Committee has also learned the seriousness of the situation, so it's time to make up your mind!" ”

Yazov's heart thumped and he jumped off the barrel, "Break through again?" (To be continued......)
