    Sverdlov¡¯s words obviously played a key role. Dzerzhinsky breathed a sigh of relief, and a smile appeared on his thin face, his eyes full of understanding and gratitude.  ([]Piaotian Literature registered members recommend this work.) Secondly, Comrade Ulyanov believed 100% what his close comrade-in-arms Sverdlov said.

    From this point of view, Sverdlov's views are consistent with Dzerzhinsky's. Bubnov is just not suitable to succeed Joseph in taking over the work of Tsaritsyn and the Southern Front, not because of Dzerzhinsky.  There was a secret collusion or transaction with Joseph.

    As a result, Ulyanov's face softened a lot. Just now, the little leader really broke out in a cold sweat. He was even thinking about who would come if Dzerzhinsky was really taken.  Take charge of the Cheka for yourself?  Apart from Sverdlov, who else around him is truly worthy of his trust?

    As soon as his mind cleared up, Ulyanov finally understood. He was so angry at the challenge in Joseph's telegram that he almost let Kamenev and Zinoviev get into trouble.  Bubnov was promoted to the leadership position of Tsaritsyn and the Southern Front. This was obviously inappropriate, deeply inappropriate.

    Ulyanov glanced at Kamenev and Zinoviev, who looked a little embarrassed and were silent for a while. Apparently, Sverdlov and Dzerzhinsky's objections at the critical moment were not enough for him.  The two guys who wanted to take advantage of the situation were hit hard, and the mastermind behind it was Trotsky?

    Ulyanov turned around and found that Trotsky had sat back in his chair at some point, frowning and tapping his fingers on the conference table thoughtfully, wondering what he was thinking.  What.

    "Well, although Comrade Bubnov is very capable, he is not suitable to lead Tsaritsyn and the Southern Front. The comrades who evacuated to Tsaritsyn from Ukraine may still have lingering fears about what they experienced in Ukraine. However, the North Caucasus  The adjustment of the leadership team of the Military Region, Southern Front and Tsaritsin is imminent, and the central government will never tolerate anyone putting local and personal interests above the overall situation and organization! "

    "Zero tolerance! Such a situation must not be allowed to occur. Comrade Joseph Vissarionovich Dzhugashvili is obviously not suitable to continue to stay in the leadership position of Tsaritsyn and the Southern Front. I propose that Comrade Joseph  Transfer back to central y¨¡ng and make other arrangements for work!¡±

    Ulyanov finally made up his mind. No matter who is arranged to take over Joseph's position, he must first transfer this little Georgian madman away from Tsaritsyn!

    "I agree with Comrade Ulyanov's proposal. It is inappropriate for Comrade Joseph to continue to stay in Tsaritsyn. What other opinions do the other central committee members have?" Trotsky obviously also had an idea. On the issue of replacing Joseph  On the matter, he and Comrade Chairman of the Central Committee must be consistent.

    The two leaders of the Central Committee of Soviet Russia, the civil and military leaders, have reached an agreement. What other opinions can the other members of the Central Committee have? Sverdlov, Bukharin, Kamenev, Zinoviev, including Ter.  Zhenskyi has expressed his support for Ulyanov's suggestion to transfer Comrade Joseph away from Tsaritsyn. Such a one-sided result is probably something that Comrade Joseph, who is far away in Tsaritsyn, did not expect.

    "Very good. It seems that everyone's opinions are unified. Then there is no need to convene a plenary meeting of the Central Committee. Comrade Trotsky, please prepare a reply in the name of the Supreme Revolutionary Military Council of the Soviet Union to remove Joseph from office with immediate effect.  Comrade Served as Military Commissar of the Revolutionary Military Committee of the North Caucasus Military District and Member of the Former Enemy Military Committee of the Southern Front, he was transferred back to Moscow to make other arrangements for his work!¡±

    At this moment, Ulyanov has no right to remove Joseph from the Central Committee. That would have to wait until the next Congress for re-election, or a temporary plenary meeting of the Central Committee. At this time, Joseph should be removed from control.  The actual power positions of the two military commissars of the North Caucasus Military District and the Southern Front follow the organizational procedures of the Supreme Military Council of Soviet Russia.

    "Comrade Ulyanov, what if Comrade Joseph Vissarionovich refuses to accept it?" Kamenev said suddenly.

    "Don't accept it? Comrade Lev Borisovich, are you kidding? This is a central decision for Moscow. Do you think it's just a joke?

    The organizational principles are supreme and no one can be above the organization. Removing him from his post in the south is not only the decision of the Supreme Revolutionary Military Committee, but also the decision of the Central Committee of Soviet Russia. Even if he does not accept it, he must implement it.  Does he want to rebel?  Bukharin, editor-in-chief of "Pravda" and People's Commissar of Propaganda of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, jumped up and said.

    "Comrade Bukharin, we want to see JosephSince ?? and Tsaritsin were able to send such a telegram, it means that at least the comrades on Tsaritsin recognized Joseph's request. In this case, just relying on an organizational order from Moscow, Joseph was exempted from being in the south.  leadership position, this can easily lead to confusion in the thinking of Tsaritsyn¡¯s comrades and the comrades of the Southern Front Army. What troubles will result if they are not kept in full!  "

    Zinoviev took out a cigarette, struck a match and lit it gently, took a puff of cigarette and said slowly and logically.

    Ulyanov frowned. Obviously, Kamenev and Zinoviev's concerns were not necessarily unreasonable. Joseph's personal ambitions expanded rapidly after the three victories in the defense of Tsaritsyn. Of course, this and  My own connivance and favoritism towards him had something to do with it, but at this moment Trotsky was still a master who knew generally how to advance and retreat, so why did Joseph become a naughty and mischievous guy!

    "Comrade Trotsky, what do you think about this question? If the Supreme Revolutionary Military Council orders the removal of Comrade Joseph from his posts in the North Caucasus Military District and the Southern Front, there won't be any trouble on the Tsaritsyn Front and the Southern Front, right?" Ulyan  Nov turned to the Chairman of the Military Council for advice.

    Trotsky frowned when he heard this and thought to himself, back then you allowed Comrade Joseph to start a new business in Tsaritsyn and do his own thing, but this guy in Tsaritsyn and the Southern Front did not ignore the orders of the Supreme Revolutionary Military Committee.  In his eyes, for this reason, when he was riding an armored train to the front line to command, he had many conflicts of opinion with Joseph.

    And every time I had a verbal spat with Joseph before, or the telegraph war came to Ulyanov's side, you always favored him and suppressed me. Now you ask me if something will happen?  If I had known this, why bother?

    Thinking this way, after all, Trotsky still knows the master of priorities. The top priority is that Moscow must make the strongest response to the challenge launched by Tsaritsin, so as to prevent any place or individual from taking advantage of the situation to challenge the central government indiscriminately.  Authority, so Trotsky frowned and thought for a moment, then said softly,

    "I'm afraid I have to ask Comrade Sverdlov about this question. He knows better than me about the personnel and organizational relationship between Tsaritsyn and the Southern Front. However, I believe in the strong party spirit of the Bolsheviks. As long as we explain the situation clearly,  Put the truth on the table.

    I believe that Comrade Joseph will figure it out himself, and those Red Army generals and Tsaritsyn local leaders who were temporarily confused and deceived will wake up in time!  They will be consistent with the central y¨¡ng!  "Trotsky apparently did a shadow boxing exercise and finally kicked the ball to Sverdlov's feet.

    ¡°Comrades, I think it¡¯s possible that the central government will first transfer Comrade Joseph back to Moscow, and at the same time transfer Bubnov back, so as to discuss the establishment of the Volga Military District and the Volga Front.

    Because it is planned to unify the organization and command of the party, government, military industry in the entire Volga River Basin, this matter is of great importance, and it is necessary to ask Comrade Joseph, the Military Commissioner, and Comrade Bubnov, Chairman of the Tsaritsyn Soviet, to return to Moscow to report to the central government.  Should the committee make a decision after a face-to-face report?  "

    After all, Sverdlov is a veteran expert in party organization work, and he came up with a pretty good idea in a blink of an eye.

    "Sverdlov's idea is good, um, quite good. If Comrade Joseph is willing to go back to Moscow with Bubnov to explain to the central government face to face, I don't think there is any problem with this matter. As long as he comes to Moscow, everything will be fine.  Much easier to handle! What do you think?" Ulyanov's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he was obviously impressed by Sverdlov's method.

    "It's a good idea, but I'm afraid he won't come. Speaking of which, the central government sent a telegram asking Comrade Joseph to come back to Moscow for a meeting or to discuss the problem in person, not just once or twice, but he always refused to come, and for a while it was Deng who refused to come.  Nikin's White Guards attacked again. One moment, Mamonov's Cossacks diverted his retreat, and the next moment, the railway line was cut off by Krasnov's troops. Anyway, there is always a reason, and I think it will be the same this time.  It¡¯s hanging!¡±

    The one who spoke was Zinoviev. This guy was not trying to pour cold water on Ulyanov and Trotsky, but he was worried that Moscow was just passively waiting for Joseph's words in such a polite way, and that all the dominance was in the hands of Joseph.  The spoiled Joseph couldn't get it back. Telegrams exchanged between the two sides failed to accomplish anything, but the Ufa coalition had already crossed the river.

    "Why, with this chaos of war, Moscow still needs to send people to invite him? He has to come whether he comes or not, and it doesn't matter what time it is. If you ask me, some comrades have been spoiled in the past.  If we keep appeasing and conniving, it will never stop us. If this momentum is not stopped, our party and our cause will suffer losses!

    Comrades, I am by no means alarmist. You just have to wait and see. This time, if the investigationIf the affairs of Jin and Joseph are not handled well, how will the central government and Moscow lead the Soviets throughout Russia and the various local Soviets, and how will they lead the military regions and front armies in the future?  !  shouted Bukharin, the party theorist and agitator, waving his hands.

    "Why don't you let Comrade Dzerzhinsky work hard and take my special train to Tsaritsyn to bring the two central committee members Joseph and Bubnov back to Moscow?" Sverdlov rolled his eyes.  In a twist, another plan came up.

    "This is a good idea!" Kamenev and Zinoviev said in unison.

    Then Kamenev added, "Comrade Dzerzhinsky and Joseph got along well. During the defense of Tsaritsyn and the suppression of counter-revolutionaries, the Cheka helped Comrade Joseph a lot. All the troops on Tsaritsyn's side  , most of the non-Bolshevik generals were purged and shot. It was at that time that the ranks were purified, which prevented Tsaritsyn from falling into the hands of the Don White Guards. I think Comrade Sverdlov¡¯s suggestion was good!¡±

    "I agree with what Kamenev said. It is inappropriate for any of us to invite Joseph. Comrade Dzerzhinsky is different. Not to mention that his Cheka's work in Tsaritsyn and the Southern Front was very effective. He and Joseph  The comradeship is not bad, and Comrade Dzerzhinsky will not let Comrade Joseph mistakenly think that he is the person sent by the central government to replace him when he goes to Tsaritsyn," Zinoviev said, extinguishing the cigarette in his hand.  .

    "In that case, why go to all the trouble? I have an idea!" Bukharin was obviously speechless and kept on trying. At this moment, he didn't know which tendon caught up and started jumping up and down again.

    "What's your idea?" This time, the two big guys, the Chairman of the Central Committee of the Soviet Union and the Chairman of the Supreme Military Council, asked in unison.

    "Comrade Dzerzhinsky was appointed as the special commissioner of the central y¨¡ng to lead a team to inspect the war preparations of Lijin and the Southern Front Army. When he arrived at the headquarters of the Southern Front, he convened a meeting with the participation of commanders above the Southern Front Army and directly announced the central y¨¡ng at the meeting.  The decision was made to remove Comrade Joseph from his various duties in the south and transfer him back to Moscow for another appointment. Of course, the Cheka must do a good job in security and security at the venue to avoid unexpected incidents! "

    Although Bukharin is not known for his intrigues, the idea he came up with now is a Hongmen Banquet move. He plans to let Dzerzhinsky use the power of the Cheka to stage a Hongmen Banquet drama. When the time comes, he will directly  Let's throw a cup as a sign and win Joseph on the spot.

    "Nonsense! Comrade Joseph is a member of the Central Committee of the Soviet Union, the leader of the North Caucasus Military District and the Southern Front, and a veteran Bolshevik Party member. This is not a conflict between ourselves and the enemy, but a disagreement within the party. How can it be used against Muravyov?  Use this method to deal with your own people!" Ulyanov scolded Bukharin with his eyes widened.
