Beiyang 1917

Kamenev's objection was obviously beyond the expectation of everyone present, and Sverdlov blushed even more. Ulyanov was slightly startled here, and instead of looking at Kamenev, he turned his gaze to On Trotsky's side, Trotsky shrugged his shoulders and spread his hands, looking back, apparently saying, don't look at me, I don't know about this, I didn't ask him to say that.

"Lev Borisovich, one thing you said is correct, that is, Yakov Mikhainovich's work in Moscow and Zhong Yang is indeed very heavy. He is the secretary of the Zhong Yang Secretariat, It is the people's commissar of the People's Committee, the vice-chairman of the Supreme Military Council, and the most important assistant to Ulyanov and Trotsky, but he is not sent? Then who else?"

It was Zinoviev who spoke next, and he asked with great interest as he took out a cigarette and lit it with a match.

Sverdlov's face is even uglier now, Zinoviev and Kamenev are basically singing oboe, one question and one answer, it is Kamenev himself who wants to go to Volga The River Military Region and the Front Army had a good time, and they didn't even look at when it was. This was the moment of life and death for the Soviets. Do you think it was a play house? Everyone took turns rolling the dice, whose turn it was?

In fact, Kamenev is not an idiot in terms of military affairs. Although he and Zinoviev opposed the decision to launch an armed uprising before the October Revolution, they still eliminated Comrade Ulyanov afterwards. In fact, on the eve of the October Revolution, it was Kamenev who reported the preparations for the uprising to the Central Committee on behalf of the uprising headquarters on the eve of the October Revolution.

Lev Borisovich Kamenev was born in the family of a railway worker in Moscow on July 1883, 7. His father was a driver on the railway at that time, and he studied at the Petersburg Institute of Technology. Chief engineer of a small nail factory near Landvorowo Station in Nasional.

Kamenev's mother graduated from the Bestuzhev Women's College.Kamenev's parents were both activists.When Kamenev was in middle school, he often went to work in the factory after school.The life in the factory area left a deep impression on him. In 1896, he moved with his parents to Tiflis (Tbilisi) and entered the second middle school until he graduated in 1901.

Kamenev was almost the first batch of Bolshevik party members, and he has always been deeply loved by Comrade Ulyanov, but Kamenev always lost the chain whenever he came to a critical moment, such as after the start of the European War Kamenev questioned Ulyanov's anti-war strategy.

The funny thing is that when Kamenev and some Bolshevik members held a meeting of the party group and local workers in the small village of Ozerki near Petersburg to discuss Ulyanov's "Theses on War", the results of the participants They were all arrested by the Tsarist government.

In May 1915, the Petersburg District Court tried Kamenev and other arrested persons. Although Kamenev and some Bolshevik representatives wrongly condemned Lenin's theses, the court still exiled him to Siberia for "treason" Turuhan was later relocated to Alan, a village near Yeniseysk, and was finally sent to Achinsk.

And because Kamenev's performance during the trial was not good, to put it bluntly, he did not show weakness and compromise, and he did not have the unyielding performance of the Bolsheviks for the sake of faith. As a result, he was despised and blamed by the exiles.

In July 1915, about eighteen Bolsheviks in exile, including four central yang commissars, met to hear a report on the interrogation.Kamenev's performance during the trial has been severely criticized by Ulyanov.

But what is puzzling is that no matter how many mistakes Kamenev made or how many mistakes he made, in fact, in Wang Geng's previous life, Ulyanov's trust in Kamenev was never It was really shaken, which is a bit like Taizu was furious at a certain meeting at a certain young regiment commander who challenged to change the military leader, but the board hit the ass of a certain Minister of National Defense more than 30 years later. .

In Wang Geng’s previous life, Kamenev was the person in charge of publishing the Complete Works of Ulyanov appointed by Ulyanov during his lifetime. This was the first publication of the Complete Works of Ulyanov in Soviet Russia.During Lenin's illness, he handed over to Kamenev his personal archives, which later developed into the V. I. Ulyanov Institute, with Kamenev as its director.

Also in Wang Geng's previous life, Lev Borisovich's fellow villager Xie Xie Kamenev later became the vice chairman of the Revolutionary Military Council and the third commander of the Eastern Army, while Sverdlow Husband disappeared from the stage of history in March 1919 because of the Spanish flu or other reasons.

But at this moment, Sergey Sergeyevich Kamenev is only the chief of staff of the Third Army of the Eastern Front. In Wang Geng's previous life, this Sergey Sergeyevich Kamenev Later on, he not only took over the post of commander-in-chief of the Eastern Front of Vatsitis, but also took over the post of commander-in-chief of the All-Russian Armed Forces after Vatsitis.

However, the honorary position of Commander-in-Chief of the All-Russian Armed Forces can theoretically command all the armed forces of Soviet Russia, but in reality it is a false position. Without the nod of Trotsky, the later chairman of the Revolutionary Military Council, nothing can be done!

At this moment, Central Committee member Lev Borisovich Kamenev couldn't bear it anymore, and when Zinoviev asked, he volunteered in a hurry, expressing his willingness to replace Comrade Sverdlov The work of the Volga Military District and the Volga Front Army allowed Sverdlov to play a more important role in Moscow Central Yang.

The Politburo of the Central Yang Committee of Soviet Russia was established in Wang Geng’s previous life, and it was not established until March 1919, so at this moment, there is no such thing as a member of the Politburo. The highest authority in Soviet Russia is the People’s Committee, and the highest authority of the Bolshevik Party It was the central committee of the party, after the bloodshed of January, especially after the rebellion of the Left Socialist Revolutionaries and Mensheviks and the general civil war.

The Soviet government is basically dominated by the Bolshevik one-party system. The People's Committee of the Soviet Union and the Central Committee of the Bolshevik Party are actually a set of people with two sets of signs.

Kamenev not only raised objections, but also volunteered to work for the Volga Military Region and the Front Army on behalf of Sverdlov. This greatly exceeded the expectations of everyone present. I thought this guy was going to recommend Trotsky to take up this position, but I didn't expect this guy to jump out with confidence and pat his chest and say that he would do it himself!

Ulyanov turned to Trotsky again with questioning eyes, and the chairman of the Supreme Military Council was obviously frowning and thinking. From this point of view, it was indeed Kamenev's own idea, even Trotsky Also unaware.

For a while, the big meeting room fell into a cold spot. Everyone was wondering what Kamenev wanted to do. He just wanted to share the burden for Sverdlov, or was it Trotsky's party to Comrade Ulyanov? This is a kind of tough blocking of the attempt of this faction to intervene in the local military region and the front army to seize military power?

"Lev Borisovich, I appreciate your courage and self-confidence in volunteering, but this is going to the front to lead the largest military district and front army in history to fight against the enemy, not to write an article in "Pravda", nor Reporting to the Zhong Yang Committee, you are neither from a military background, nor have you received a military academy education, nor have you led troops on the battlefield.”

Bukharin, who made a sound at the right time, snorted softly in his nose, and said maliciously,

"It would be great if you are really qualified for the post of the Volga Military Region and the Front Army, but no matter how I look at it, I think it is a fantasy. Fighting against the ground on the battlefield is a contest of blood and fire, and you have to fight with your head held high.

Both Comrade Trotsky and Comrade Sverdlov have the experience of leading and commanding military units in combat. They both used to ride armored trains back and forth between various battlefields to command operations. You don’t really think that you can replace Sverd Comrade Love to the Volga Military District and Front Army? "

Although Bukharin's tone was a bit teasing and sly, but what he said was not too much. Kamenev was studying law at Moscow University, so he must be Bukharin's senior. He was five years younger, and entered the Faculty of Law of Moscow State University five years later.

However, in the eyes of Bukharin, a guy who is proud of his talents, Kamenev is a bit older than himself, his motives for the revolution are suspicious, and his position is too weak. respect.

"Nikolai Ivanovich, don't forget that I assisted Trotsky and Comrade Sverdlov in the preparations for the armed uprising last October, and I was also the military commander of the General Command of the Armed Uprising. The members of the committee, Comrades Vatsitis and Sergin and I have all worked closely together. In terms of military affairs, although I dare not say that they are definitely better than Comrades Trotsky and Sverdlov, they are definitely not like Joseph. A half-baked military commissioner can be compared!"

If it was Ulyanov, Trotsky, or even Sverdlov who stood up to refute him, Kamenev would not have enough confidence to fight with the opponent, but Bukharin, like a jumping clown, suddenly The younger generation, who is left and right, has never been taken seriously by Kamenev.

Kamenev certainly has enough capital in front of Bukharin. Lev Borisovich Kamenev was elected as the chairman at the Second Congress of the Soviets after the October Revolution last year. Serving as the chairman of the Central Executive Committee of the Soviet Union basically became the spokesperson of Comrade Ulyanov's image inside and outside the party.

And at this moment, Kamenev is not only a member of the Central Committee, but also the chairman of the Moscow Soviet. In terms of party status and weight, he is definitely above Bukharin, who once briefly stole the post of chairman of the Central Committee!

Even though Kamenev, together with Zinoviev, belonged to the center-right political position in the Central Committee of Soviet Russia, and basically coincided with Trotsky's middle position to form a force, but Under the circumstances that Ulyanov and Trotsky did not break with each other but chose unity and cooperation.

In Ulyanov's mind, Kamenev and Zinoviev were still his own comrades, and they were more pure and trustworthy than careerists like Bukharin and Joseph.
