    "Comrades! The situation is very serious! Kazan has been lost. The garrison commander Suchenov became a shameful traitor. The Kazan garrison almost surrendered without a fight. The eastern front of Kazan is too important to us!  Things are not going to be easy now!" Moscow Soviet Chairman Kamenev hurried into a conference room on the second floor of the Kremlin with a telegram in his hand.

    Lev Borisovich Kamenev (§­e§Ó§¢opn?co§Ón§éka?mehe§Ó, formerly known as Rosenfeld, po?3eh§æe§Ý§î§Õ) was born on July 22, 1883. The 35-year-old was once the closest assistant to the boy's mentor.  , of course, this does not mean that he blindly supports the radical ideas of the little mentor.

    Before the Bolsheviks launched the October Revolution last year, this guy and Zinoviev actually became the only two Central Committee members who opposed launching an armed uprising.  issued a statement opposing the decision to armed uprising and applied to withdraw from the Central Committee.

    This era was an era of free and unrestrained thinking. Kamenev could become the little man's closest assistant and comrade-in-arms, but he was not blindly obedient, and he was full of intellectual spirit. The famous Gorky was his good friend and a famous military commander.  The Georgian soldier was also his close comrade-in-arms and had been supported by him for a long time.

    Moreover, although this Kamenev was scolded as a scab by his little mentor because he leaked the news of the October Revolution in Gorky's newspaper, and wanted to expel both him and Zinoviev from the party, he was criticized by the Georgians.  and Sverdrov were saved on the grounds that the Central Committee was not qualified to appoint party members and had to go through the plenary session.

    What was ignored by the official media in their previous life was that Kamenev and Zinoviev, who returned to the Central Committee, did a lot of work in the October Revolution that followed and contributed to the victory of the October Revolution.  In fact, after the October Revolution last year, Kamenev was elected chairman of the All-Russian Central Executive Committee, which is equivalent to the head of state.

    Of course, later on in the Constituent Assembly and the peace with Germany, Kamenev once again had a serious conflict with the little mentor. Kamenev, who was considered pro-Western, was sent to Britain and France during the negotiations between Soviet Russia and Germany.  The two countries tried to mediate but did not achieve the expected results. This is not to say that Kamenev is incompetent, but that when the war does not end victoriously, the Soviet Union must persuade Britain and France to armistice or accept a separate armistice between Soviet Russia and Germany.  This in itself is an impossible task.

    Kamenev, who returned to Russia in depression, served as Chairman of the Moscow Soviet, and also became the core figure of the faction after the little mentor left. Although Bukharin was elected Chairman of the Central Committee, the Soviet government at this time took a different approach.  This is Trotsky¡¯s strategic policy of ¡°no war, no peace¡±.

    At this time, the strength of the three factions in the Central Committee of Soviet Russia was almost the same. Trotsky served as the chairman of the newly established Revolutionary Military Committee and was also the People's Commissar of Military Affairs within the Central Committee.

    Bukharin handles party affairs and presides over the Central Committee, Trotsky is responsible for building the Red Army and fighting enemies coming from all directions, and Kamenev is responsible for specific administrative and logistical support. After all, Moscow has now become the new capital of Soviet Russia.

    As for the great little mentor, at the end of February 1918, the little mentor resigned and left the Central Committee, and went to somewhere in Finland to shut up and write articles.

    "We must speed up the formation of the Red Army. The Tsar's old army is unreliable. Especially Siberia and the Far East are the weak links of our work. The strength of the Bolsheviks there is far from enough!" The speaker was Bukharin, wearing a worker's hat.  , the editor-in-chief of "Pravda" who usually speaks passionately and is now only 30 years old. After the little mentor, Bukharin was elected Chairman of the Central Committee.

    Nikolay Ivanovich Bukharin, (hnko§Ýann§Óaho§Ón§é§¢yxapnh) was born in a very auspicious year, 1888. He was once hailed as the "golden boy of the revolution" by his little mentor. Of course, he negotiated with Germany in Soviet Russia  During this period, his ideas were a bit unrealistic. The editor-in-chief of Pravda was young and energetic, claiming to fight imperialism to the end and spread the revolutionary fire all over the world.

    "Scum like Suchenov should have listened to my words and suppressed them resolutely. Comrade Dzerzhinsky, you and your Cheka must bear unshirkable responsibility for the fall of Kazan! Why didn't this be discovered in advance?  Why not suppress this guy¡¯s rebellion in advance? This is an era of blood and fire, and any tenderness towards the bourgeoisie will ruin the cause we fight for!¡±

    Bukharin had just ascended the high position of the Central Committee, and now he lost his temper at the tall and lanky Dzerzhinsky!  The table was banged loudly by this guy.

    At this moment, both Trotsky and Stalin were on the front line. Dzerzhinsky was sitting there with a livid face. He looked down upon Bukharin at all. In contrast, he looked down on Kamenev and Dzerzhinsky.  There is more respect, Bukharin is just a theoretician who plays with his pen, sayingIt was easy to come by, Kazan Suchenov had a division of troops in his hands, and the infantry lieutenant general always had the morale of the army, not to mention that the Cheka was only a few months old and was far short of manpower.

    The Kazan garrison commander Suchenov's previous performance did not indicate that he would rebel at all. If the so-called action was taken based on family background to nip problems in the bud, then almost all the garrison generals across Russia would be worthy of beheading.  The standard depends on whether you are a son of a bitch of the landlords and bourgeoisie or a descendant of workers or poor peasants and laborers.

    Is this useful?  In the Tsarist Russian army, how many senior generals from working class backgrounds could become lieutenant generals and lead a division?

    The Cheka (full name is the All-Russian Extraordinary Committee for the Suppression of Counterrevolution and Sabotage, referred to as the All-Russian Committee for the Suppression of Counterrevolutionaries, Cheka is the Russian abbreviation transliteration) is an intelligence organization in name, and was actually established by Felix on December 20 last year.  ¡¤ Founded by Edmundovich Dzerzhinsky.

    The organization was established because the little mentor needed an organization that could "use extraordinary means to fight against all counter-revolutionaries"!

    Later, Dzerzhinsky summarized the Cheka¡¯s mission as: ¡°Eliminate and stop counter-revolutionary and sabotage behaviors nationwide, hand over their activists to the courts, and also conduct preliminary investigations and preliminary trials.¡±

    In fact, the main functions of the Cheka also include arresting counterrevolutionaries in Soviet Russia, and is responsible for prison management, searches, arrests, detentions, etc.!

    Now that the little mentor is no longer in office, Bukharin just thinks that he can arrogantly issue commanders after he ascends to the throne of chairman?  That¡¯s not bad, Dzerzhinsky murmured to himself, should we carefully check Bukharin¡¯s contacts with Western countries?  He should have something in his hands to prevent him from posing as Chairman in front of the Central Committee all day long!

    "Comrade Bukharin! I believe that Dzerzhinsky and his Cheka will learn the lesson of Kazan. Tenderness and compassion for the enemy is cruelty to one's own comrades. How many Bolsheviks fell to the rebellious Suche in Kazan?"  We must avenge him under Nov's butcher's knife, but the most urgent task is to send a message to Comrade Trotsky and Comrade Stalin on the front line, asking them to rush back to the Central Committee to take charge of the work!"

    Kamenev expressed his opinion while relieving the livid Cheka leader Dzerzhinsky.

    "Comrade Trotsky is organizing the Petrograd line of defense, and Stalin is organizing forces to prepare to defend Tsaritsyn. If we rush back to Moscow now, what will happen to the front line?" Bukharin asked dissatisfiedly!

    Kamenev seemed confident, and then said, "A commander does not need to put aside the overall situation and only focus on the local area. Coordinating the overall situation is the responsibility of the commander. I suggest that either Trotsky or at least one Stalin be recalled to the central government to preside over  Military, either. Bring Comrade Ulyanov back to take charge!¡±

    "No! Absolutely not! Resignation is not a child's play. People who threaten the Central Committee with resignation are not suitable to lead the overall situation at this critical moment. Now looking back at the terms of the Brest-Litovsk Treaty, it really makes me break out in a cold sweat.  Fortunately we did not accept this condition, otherwise these Socialist Revolutionaries and Mensheviks would have even more reason to say that we are German spies and traitors!¡±

    Bukharin slapped the table and firmly opposed to bringing back the little mentor. Damn it, I've only been in the chairman's chair for a few days, and you, Kamenev, want to take my position?

    "But the situation on the front line is so tense. Both the Chinese and Japanese have sent troops to the Far East. Although Vladivostok is still fighting bloody battles, it will fall sooner or later, and Ulan-Ude has also fallen into the hands of the Chinese.  ! "Kamenev still wants to stick to his point of view!

    It¡¯s okay not to say this, but when Bukharin was mentioned, he got angry. He slapped the table, turned around and shouted at Georgy Chicherin, the People¡¯s Commissar for Foreign Affairs with a noble background,

    "Comrade Chicherin, how did you become the People's Commissar of Foreign Affairs? Why did the Czech Legion rebel before, and why did China and Japan send troops to the Far East and Siberia at the same time! Aren't you the one who has been negotiating with the Allied Powers!"
