Years of the Republic of China 1913

After reading the list, the originally crowded meeting place became empty. Just when the rest of the people were secretly rejoicing, they heard gunshots coming from outside. At this moment, everyone's faces turned to the ground. They turned pale again, and each of them looked at each other in blank dismay, with terrified expressions in their eyes.

Trotsky's iron fist frightened everyone, arresting them before they were shot, even the Supreme Soviet's purge of the party was not so terrible.At least, the so-called "counter-revolutionaries" who fell into Dzerzhinsky's hands had to go to court and go through an interrogation procedure. Trotsky simply refused to execute any procedures.

There are no fools who can reach the level of division commanders and fighters. Only then did everyone realize that something was wrong.If Trotsky was really ordered by the Supreme Soviet to arrest the traitors, one should have Dzerzhinsky's people on the scene to cooperate, and two, after catching people, he would never be shot on the spot, but should be escorted. In the Moscow interrogation, a hasty move like this is absolutely impossible.

But at this time, the frightened people dared to criticize Trotsky's decision whether it was legal or not. They believed that as long as they raised objections, what awaited him would be the same fate as those who were dragged out.Besides, the vast majority of the surviving crowd belonged to Trotsky's faction. Even if there were a few people who were not Trotsky, they were centrists who favored and agreed with Trotsky.

"In view of the issue of traitors in the Eastward Front Army, I am announcing the adjustment order for each unit..." On the stage, Trotsky took out a piece of paper and began to read the appointment. Tukhachevsky, Temu Xin Ge and other generals who had stood aside took up important positions in the front army one by one. As for the remaining military-level positions, they were also given to several generals who originally belonged to Trotsky's faction, and then they were vacated for others. Trotsky also made arrangements for his position, and it can be seen that he had a careful plan long before. [

"What's your opinion on these appointed comrades?" Trotsky put his hands on the table after reading.Leaning forward slightly, his sharp gaze scanned everyone present.There was a lot of noise in the venue, how could anyone dare to object when everyone was frightened?

"Papa..."

After a few seconds of silence, a few sporadic applause suddenly sounded out, and then everyone clapped their hands after a moment of surprise, and soon the applause merged into one piece.The atmosphere of the scene was changed from the quietness just now to the enthusiasm and passion.

"Long live Comrade Trotsky!"

"Long live Comrade Commander!"

I don't know who yelled first, and before the applause stopped, the sound of long live resounded through the venue one after another. At this time, Trotsky smiled and nodded to everyone with a smile.

Soviet Red Army, East Front Army Headquarters.

This is the core and most secret place of the front army. Except for the commander Trotsky and a few people who can enter and leave freely, even the commanders and division commanders below cannot easily enter without orders.

And now, in the commander's office of the headquarters that should have been empty.A man dressed poorly, with a beard and messy hair was sitting at Trotsky's desk eating and drinking. There were grilled meat, bread, smoked sausage and other delicacies on the table, as well as several bottles good wine.

The man opened his hands, grabbed the food and kept stuffing it into his mouth. From time to time, he picked up the wine bottle beside him and gulped down a few mouthfuls. He was so voracious that he didn't even care about the bread crumbs sticking to his mouth. Wipe it on.

After a big meal.The rich food on the table was almost swept away by him, and then he patted his stomach with satisfaction and burped.then.He lit a cigarette, changed into a more comfortable position, put his feet on the desk and began to puff.

A few minutes later, there was a sound of footsteps approaching from outside. It seemed that the owner of the office, Trotsky, commander of the front army, had returned.Not only did the man in the office not put his feet off the desk, but he squinted his eyes and looked at the door calmly.

soon.The door opened and it was Trotsky who entered.Seeing the scene in the office, instead of being angry, Trotsky was as calm as usual. He went straight to the desk, pulled up a chair and sat down, looking at the man sitting in his seat.

"Finished?" the man asked.There was a smile on the corner of his mouth.

Trotsky's expression was slightly helpless at this time, he sighed lightly and nodded.

"Come on, what do you need me to do next?"

"Tomorrow I will send someone to take you to the east. I hope you promise what you promised me before. As for the rest, I won't bother you. I can solve it myself."

The man smiled and shook his head and said, "Trotsky, why bother? Now that your face has been torn apart, do you think you can continue to work with Stalin? For the sake of saving my life, why don't you join us? In the Russian Empire, there is no guarantee for anything else, but a post of undersecretary of the Ministry of War is still possible."

"You don't need to talk about this issue anymore!" Trotsky suddenly became excited, stood up and waved his arms: "No matter what, I am a revolutionary, and it is absolutely impossible to betray the revolution! Although Stalin and I have political opinions different, but this is our internal problem! Your Excellency Denikin, you should give up your mind!" [

Denikin shook his head regretfully, and kindly persuaded: "Trotsky, you are a smart man, don't you think that eliminating the political commissars of the Eastward Front Army and the commanders of Stalin's line will be able to compete with Moscow?" Yes? That’s right, you do have great prestige in the Soviet Union and powerful influence within the Red Army, but now you are only the commander of a front army, and it is impossible to drive Stalin out of power and replace him. You have to know that you have the highest Stalin of the Soviet power will treat you as a traitor as soon as he gets news from here, even if you have the ability to control all the troops, do you think you have a chance to win in the face of the encirclement and suppression by the Soviet Central Committee?"

"This is my business! This is our party's own business!" Trotsky roared angrily, but soon he calmed down and apologized to Denikin for his gaffe.

"You don't understand...you don't understand..." Trotsky said in his mouth, but his voice became smaller and smaller. Although he knew that Denikin's words were correct, the belief in his heart forced him The law makes such a choice.

"Well, as an opponent, I respect your choice." Denikin stood up and extended his hand to Trotsky: "I will guarantee my promise! I also hope that I will not fail so quickly when facing Stalin , Of course, if later... I hope you will carefully consider my suggestion, this is an enemy's advice to his opponent."

Trotsky smiled wryly, and shook hands with Denikin, then Denikin smiled and said with his tattered clothes: "Help me arrange it, I can't go back like this tomorrow, I need to take a shower, scrape off Beard, yes! And my uniform!"

"Don't worry, I've already arranged everything."

"Okay! I hope we can meet again in the future!"

Denikin nodded, then turned and strode out the door.

After Denikin left, Trotsky slumped in a chair, holding his head in his hands in frustration and excruciating pain.He made a decision in desperation. He knew the consequences of this decision in his heart, but for the ideals and beliefs in his heart, and of course the safety of his and his followers, he still made a choice.

In the early morning of the next day, after freshening up, Denikin, dressed in the uniform of the Russian Empire, was sent to the opponent's position by several Red Army soldiers in high spirits. When Denikin left, Trotsky did not come forward to see him off. Few people even knew about this incident, and when Denikin crossed the battlefield and returned to the defense line of the Russian Empire, everyone in the Russian Empire was stunned by this surprise.

"What! What are you talking about!" In the Kremlin in Moscow, the pipe in Stalin's hand fell to the ground, and he stared at Dzerzhinsky in front of him with incredible eyes.

"I'm very sorry, Comrade Stalin, I just received information that before my men arrived at their destination, the traitor Trotsky launched a coup in the Eastern Front Army, and all political commissars and military commanders loyal to you were killed. Now Trotsky telegraphed the whole country as the "Chairman" of the Provisional Supreme Council of Soviets. He said that you have deviated from the revolutionary ideas of Vladimir Ilyich Ulyanov and became the most unstable factor in the revolution. As a staunch Bolshevik party member, it is obligatory to help you get back from the wrong reason to the right direction, so...."

"Enough!" Stalin was furious, and grabbed the telegram from Dzerzhinsky's hand. Looking at the telegram, his hands trembled slightly, and his face turned purple.

"Traitors! Disgraceful traitors! Destroy them! Destroy them completely!" Frantically tearing the telegram to pieces, Stalin vented his inner anger with a gaffe he had never seen before. Trotsky's rebellion made him feel unprecedented Crisis, if this problem is not resolved as soon as possible, it will not only bring subversive "destruction" to the Soviet "government", but even Stalin will become a loser and be purged by his opponents.

This is not the only thing that worried Stalin even more. If Trotsky had defected to the Russian Empire, the situation would not have been so dangerous. Novov's successor claimed to correct his wrong line, which hit Stalin's heart. You must know that Trotsky's prestige in the party and army is very high, because Stalin has taken measures to consolidate his position in recent years Many necessary measures have resulted in a large number of old party members and military generals being pulled down or directly purged. These people and their friends, relatives, and even subordinates are likely to defect to the past when Trotsky put forward such a slogan, thus making the two sides The balance of power has changed dramatically.

At this time, Stalin deeply regretted his decision to choose Trotsky and let him serve as the commander of the Eastward Front Army. dispose of.

Seeing that Stalin was a bit out of order, Dzerzhinsky lowered his head and looked like a dead old lady, but Stalin didn't notice that under his lowered head, the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, as if secretly What are you proud of. (To be continued..)
