"Distinguished comrades of the Central Executive Committee of the Comintern, distinguished comrades of the Central Committee of the Russian Bolsheviks. I am writing to you only on behalf of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Germany...... On May 1, International Labor Day, on this day that belongs to the proletariat of the whole world. The German Communist Party led the working class in Berlin in an attempt, one with profound significance...... Before that, we had thought that the German working class was strong enough to shoulder the mission that history had entrusted to them...... But the bloody reality has taught us a truth, our enemies are still very strong, and the bourgeoisie and the Junkers have colluded to begin a bloody suppression of the people......"

This is the summary report of the German Communist Party on the Second Berlin Uprising, in which Liebknecht, Luxemburg and Zetkin profoundly summed up the lessons of the failed uprising. The self-criticism is quite profound, and in this report, the KPD argues that there were both subjective and objective reasons for the failure of the uprising.

Subjective: the German Communist Party was ill-prepared and did not fully appreciate the brutality of the struggle. Objectively: the strength of the German bourgeoisie and the Junkers landowners needs to be reassessed, and they are much stronger than expected. All in all, this report is relatively objective, and Luxembourg and Liebknecht can be regarded as finding the reasons for their failure.

To put it bluntly, the power of the German working class is overestimated!

Although the KPD did not directly come to this conclusion, the subtext of the entire report is actually this. When Lenin pronounced the three heavy names that signed the report. The face of the Trotskyists was quite wonderful.

Just now Trotsky was still crying out for the KPD, excusing them, attributing the failure of the uprising to the fact that world imperialism had united to strangle the German revolution. Immediately, however, the KPD's own report said that the root cause of the defeat was the underestimation of the enemy's strength. Although there are some similarities between these two statements, the meaning is completely different, and the KPD does not mention the unity of world imperialism, and the enemies they refer to are only the bourgeoisie and the Junker landlords in Germany.

That is, Germany itself rejected Trotsky's conclusions, and they quite frankly admitted their own shortcomings.

For the Trotskyists. It's really damn bad. On their side, they worked hard to support and cheer up their German brothers, and tried hard to help them whitewash. Well, how can you expose yourself to be ugly? Isn't this a pig mate?

In an instant, the Leninist bigwigs were relieved to have their own report. It is useless to disguise it with Trotsky. You can't deny the conclusions made by others, can you?

Don't say it. The Trotskyists dared to do this, for them the German revolution was the lifeblood, and they had to save their face. Ulitsky immediately jumped out: "The summary report of the comrades of the KPD is too subjective. They failed to correctly recognize the root cause of the failure, and such a report is only a reference! ”

Sverdlov immediately sarcastically said: "If the summary report of the German comrades is too subjective, then your summary is simply pure conjecture, pure self-righteousness. Could it be that the German comrades did not even know what their enemies were? Could it be that they in Germany do not know the situation better than those of us who are thousands of kilometers away? ”

Ulitsky also let it go: "There is an ancient Chinese poem that says, I don't know the true face of Lushan, I only live in this mountain." Many times an outsider may see better than an insider! ”

Sverdlov sarcastically replied: "You are not the only outsider, Comrade Ulitsky. With so many comrades here being outsiders, how many agree with your statement? ”

Bukharin quickly interjected: "It's not a matter of numbers......

Stalin immediately interrupted him: "It is a question of numbers, and when the majority of comrades, including those in Germany, have reached a general consensus, this consensus should be recognized!" Otherwise, what are we going to do with the meeting? Let's do our own thing, it's over! ”

Trotsky was once again forced to speak: "Of course, the report of the German comrades needs to be taken seriously, but this does not mean that we should doubt the strength of the working class of the KPD, and we must question the line of the Eighth Congress!" ”

Zinoviev sneered and sarcastically said: "It seems that you are the first to question the line and the established strategy of the Eight Congresses, Comrade Trotsky?" The resolution of the Eighth Party Congress clearly stated that it was not advisable to get directly involved in the revolutionary struggle in Germany before the bandit army was eliminated at home, and that it was necessary to fully believe in the strength of the German working class. Have you forgotten these? ”

Ever since he had been put on the table by Trotsky on the Estonian question last time, Zinoviev had hated him so much that he would make a few sarcastic remarks about him whenever he had the opportunity to contradict him. Now that Lao Tuo has sent the handle to the door himself, how can he be polite.

Trotsky was speechless again, and if he wanted to directly aid the German revolution militarily and send military forces directly to intervene, then he would inevitably overturn the relevant resolutions of the Eighth Congress. And the resolution of the Eighth Congress on the German revolution was actually in his favor, and it was Lenin who made concessions.

Now, he wants to kick his nose and face further, Lenin naturally can't agree, the meaning of the teacher is obvious, you Trotsky want to repudiate the relevant resolutions of the Eighth Congress, then okay, I will completely deny it, and directly overturn your line!

It can be said that at this time Trotsky was unable to advance or retreat, and if he rejected the relevant resolutions of the Eighth National Congress, then the Leninists would directly and completely destroy his theory and line, which would be tantamount to a complete rupture. Trotsky naturally did not want to see such a situation, and without the cooperation of the Leninists, it would have been impossible for him to show his strength. If we do not negate the resolution of the Eighth National Congress and follow the established policy, it is really hard to say how long the German revolution will last. And that's what he doesn't want to see.

Trotsky was silent, and so were the Trotskyists. As for the Leninists, they didn't dare to push too hard, everyone was a grasshopper on a rope, and no one could leave anyone. Although it is simple to break up in two shots, the consequences are really unbearable!

In this tangled situation. I'm afraid there is only one person who is very happy, and that is Kamenev. This guy has always been concerned about the overall situation and only cares about his own interests, and he wishes that the more he practiced, the better he would be, and that it would be better for the Trotskyists and Leninists to start firing up at once.

So he once again stood up and added fuel to the fire: "The relevant resolutions of the Eighth National Congress are already problematic, and now correcting the mistakes of the Eighth National Congress is the attitude of being responsible for the revolution." I think it is time to revisit the relevant resolution and make a new one that is really good for the revolution! ”

In the eyes of the Leninists, Kamenev was labeling a Trotskyist at this time, and this guy was speaking on behalf of the Trotskyists. You've officially started to dismantle the stage, so you can still be polite!

Stalin, who was the most angry, immediately stood up and prepared to open fire on the Trotskyists with all his might. Just before he spoke. Lenin suddenly spoke up again: "I have just read the summary report of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Germany. There's also a call for help. ”

As he spoke, Lenin began to read again: "...... What the German revolution urgently needed was not military intervention from abroad, which was a Pandora's box, although we were glad that our Russian comrades had reached out. But this will give the international imperialists a pretext. Let them have every reason to also send troops to interfere in the revolution in our country...... From the current form shì. Direct military intervention is the least needed and most dangerous. We would prefer that the Russian comrades will come to our aid in terms of funds, weapons and organization, that we need the funds and weapons for the armed struggle and, above all, advisers with experience in the war will help us to build a proletarian army......"

Once again, the Trotskyists were speechless. They have always said that the comrades in Germany need reinforcements, they need direct assistance from the Red Army. But now it seems that people don't think that way at all, they don't want foreign troops at all, at most they need military advisers. This gives the Trotskyists the feeling of a hot face against a cold ass.

In fact, the Trotskyists have always been hot and cold, and Liebknecht and Luxemburg were communists with noble internationalist feelings, but at the same time they also insisted on Germany's independence and autonomy.

In fact, the Trotskyists have always been hot and cold, and Liebknecht and Luxemburg were communists with noble internationalist feelings, but at the same time they also insisted on Germany's independence and autonomy. For them, the revolution in Germany should always be led by the Germans, who refused to become vassals of other forces, even if they were fraternal parties of other countries!

The Trotskyists, on the other hand, ignored this, believing that as long as their side was vigorously supported, there was no reason for the KPD not to be grateful to Dade. Who would have thought that reality is not like that at all, the Germans have the pride of belonging to the Germans, and they have never intended or wanted to send people under the fence or look up to others.

This is not only true of the Germans, but every aspiring nation in the world does not like such "good intentions" as Trotskyists, and only those who do not pursue such good intentions will accept such good intentions.

You must know that in his article "On the Russian Revolution", Luxemburg criticized Lenin and Trotsky mercilessly by name and the resolution on the national question, arguing that the right of national self-determination greatly hindered the integrity of Russia's national sovereignty. Luxemburg's vigilance on this issue was not ordinarily high, and how could she have accepted Trotsky's good intentions and left the fate of the German revolution entirely in the hands of Lao Tol?

He only saw the advantages of the theory of permanent revolution, but he did not think of whether others would accept it, and once they did not accept his "good intentions", how could he do it?

Anyway, after Lenin read the demands of the German comrades, the Trotskyists immediately wilted, and everyone said it so bluntly that it was almost equivalent to a slap in the face, so what was the point of insisting?

But there is one other person who is not interested, and that is Kamenev, who exclaims: "The German revolution is not just a matter for the German working class!" It was part of the world revolution and the problems of the German revolution could not be viewed in isolation...... The world revolution is a big chess game, and the German revolution is just a piece on the chessboard. The world revolution was led by the Comintern, and the German revolution had to be under the command of the Comintern! How can the German comrades be tossed and turned, if the proletariat of the whole world is like this, what else is the Comintern going to do? Isn't the union of the proletarians of the world an empty phrase? ”

These words lit up the eyes of the Trotskyists, but Lenin's next words darkened their eyes: "The Comintern has long made arrangements for the German revolution and has given full play to the subjective initiative of the German comrades." Let them lead the German working class in the revolutionary struggle, this is the established policy! ”

Without waiting for Kamenev to retort, Lenin added another tone: "Moreover, it is true that the world revolution is a big chess game, but the proletarian parties and the proletariat of all countries in the world that make up this big chess game are not chess pieces. The Comintern was only responsible for macroeconomic regulation and control, but not for specific command...... The national conditions of various countries are different, and the specific situations they have to face are also different. ”

Kamenev was speechless, and although he wanted to continue to say something, there was really no excuse. As for Trotsky, there was no good way. Unless he really wants to flip the table and start anew. Otherwise, this result can only be accepted.

At least we respect the demands of the KPD and do not involve overturning the resolution of the Eighth Party Congress, and we can continue to work together within these rules. Of course, that doesn't mean he doesn't say anything. He's going to keep fighting.

"We should fully respect the decision of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Germany. Fulfills all of their requirements. In particular, the requirement to send military advisers. This should be met first! Trotsky waved his hand violently: "I will immediately draw the elite from the Red Army and send them to Germany as much as possible!" ”

The Trotskyist bosses all spoke, and the other younger brothers naturally echoed in groups. One after another, there was a great deal of talk about the importance of military advisers, and the posture was eager to send all the commanders of the Red Army over.

In fact, Trotsky also made this calculation, and he decided to make a fuss with military advisers, and the dispatch of military advisers would definitely be approved by the Central Committee, and as long as he had this excuse, he could repair the plank road in the open and in the dark.

How to darken the warehouse? Quite simply, Trotsky decided to try to pass a more vague resolution, that is, a resolution only to send military advisers, without mentioning the number of military advisers. One or two are also military advisers, and a thousand, ten thousand, that is also a military adviser. Trotsky was going to send tens of thousands of his military advisers to Germany!

To tell you the truth, this idea is very good, but it is also too underestimated Lenin and the political wisdom of Sverdlov and Stalin, watching Trotsky perform there, they secretly laughed, you can also take this kind of trick on the stage? This shows that you Trotsky has nothing to do!

"And how many military advisers to send?" Stalin pierced Trotsky's calculations with a single sentence.

Trotsky sighed in his heart and said helplessly: "The German working class is not very experienced in the struggle, and the number of military advisers should be a little more!" ”

Sverdlov would not be polite to him: "How much more?" There has to be an exact number, right? ”

Trotsky was still ready to play sloppy: "It depends on the needs of the German comrades, and it can be discussed by the Supreme Military Council......"

"There's no need for that!" Lenin interrupted him directly, "Call the KPD Central Committee and ask them how many military advisers they need!" ”

"This ......"

Trotsky was so angry that he was ready to use the Military Commission to make a fuss about seeing that Xiao Si and Stalin were not easy to fool, because after all, he was a little more powerful on the side of the Military Commission, and the so-called decision after study and discussion by the Military Commission was actually equivalent to his personal meaning. But Lenin didn't give him this opportunity at all, and kicked the ball to the side of the KPD. According to Germany's previous attitude, there is no need to think about the military advisory group of tens of thousands of people, and even a few thousand people are impossible, at most hundreds of people.

Trotsky was so angry, but he couldn't disrespect the decision of the KPD Central Committee, and he couldn't force the military advisers over, right?

In desperation, Trotsky had no choice but to settle for the next best thing, and if he couldn't give people, then give him more guns!

"Ten thousand rifles, one hundred machine guns, and matching ammunition should be allocated as much as possible! The shape of the revolution waits for no one! ”

After pretending to sigh, Trotsky emphasized: "This is only the first batch of weapons to support the German working class, after which we should give the second and third batches of military aid, as the case may be!" ”

If he only asked for guns and bullets, Lenin would not be stingy, as long as he did not ask for people, tens of thousands of rifles and hundreds of machine guns could still be afforded. As long as he can stop the Trotskyists for two days, as long as he can buy a little more time to eliminate the bandits in the country, he will be ruined and spared disaster.

So after this emergency meeting, he especially found Stalin to talk to him alone, and demanded that Steel must speed up the elimination of Denikin, and that every additional day of delay will be a long day of dreams! God knows when Trotsky will play tricks again.

"Do you want to give an explanation to Comrade Andrei and let him pay more attention to the developments in Germany." Xiao Sijian said.

Anyone can hear that Xiao Si's so-called more attention to the development of events in Germany certainly does not refer entirely to the development of the German revolution, but more to the movements of the Trotskyists in this regard, lest Trotsky will have to make some moths out of the country from time to time to disgust.

Lenin, however, shook his head and said: "Now the focus is not on Germany, but at home." However, it is not a bad thing to pay attention to the situation in Germany, and tell Sù Andrei that working abroad should be more meticulous and avoid impatience! By the way, the point is to tell him, don't try to rescue Comrade Yue Fei and Radek, that's not the core issue, if you delay the overall situation in order to rescue them, it will be more than worth the loss! ”

Is Lenin not saving himself from death? No, as the saying goes, the two countries will not fight each other, although the Albert government severed diplomatic relations with Russia and also detained Yue Fei and Radek, but to be honest, it will not do anything to them. To put it bluntly, this is just a gesture that Albert is making, and when the time comes, he will naturally release people.

In fact, Lenin's orders were also redundant, and Li Xiaofeng didn't plan to save those two guys at all...... (To be continued......)
