    "As Chairman of the Central Committee of the Soviet Union, I bear leadership responsibility for Joseph's slide to the bottom on the wrong path, but the point I want to emphasize is that Joseph Vissarionovich Dzhugashvili  Comrade Comrade Joseph is not an enemy who sneaked into the party, he is still our comrade! "

    Ulyanov, Chairman of the Soviet Central Committee, looked at Joseph with reproachful and sad eyes. The scene where Joseph volunteered to go to Tsaritsyn to clean up the mess seemed to reappear in front of his eyes. Of course, the victory of the three battles to defend Tsaritsyn cannot be just  Credit goes to Joseph alone.

    Both Trotsky and Sverdlov traveled day and night on armored trains on the battlefields of the Southern and Eastern Fronts, but it cannot be denied that Joseph's personal ambitions and ambitions were extraordinary.  Strong, and in order to check the growing prestige of Trotsky, the founder of the Soviet Red Army, he condoned Joseph's mistakes against his will at some point.

    This made Joseph more and more arrogant, his self-inflated to the point of looking down on everyone, and even inflated to the point where he dared to challenge the central authority of Moscow with local strength. If this evil trend is not stopped today, our Soviet Red Army will have a second wave in the future.  A third new warlord like Joseph in the party is absolutely intolerable to our cause.

    There is no doubt that the Bolshevik Party Central Committee must have 100% leadership over the Soviet Red Army and the Soviets, and no individual or place will be allowed to challenge this. In fact, the reason why Ulyanov recently and Chairman of the Supreme Military Council  Trotsky's cooperation entered the second honeymoon period after the October Revolution.

    The reason is that both sides were horrified by the Joseph incident and saw how much harm the seedlings of local hilltopism in the party would bring to the entire party and the Soviet Red Army in the future. After so many years of struggle and sacrifice, the Bolshevik Party and its  The Central Committee should and must lead everything. This was the consensus reached by the two big bosses Ulyanov and Trotsky, and it was not just for the purpose of uniting to solve Joseph's problem at the minimum cost.

    "Vladimir Ilyich, although I am Chairman of the St. Petersburg Cheka, I am first and foremost an old Bolshevik. I am very happy to hear that you still call Joseph Vissarionovich Dzhugashvili.  Our comrades, I have a suggestion, the Cheka is an organization and tool used by the enemies of the other side and the enemies hidden within us.¡±

    "I'm not afraid that you and Dzerzhinsky will laugh. There is still a huge gap between the mission that Cheka is undertaking and the quality of our team itself. In other words, some of our people are of lower quality. I suggest that since Joseph is convinced  He is still our comrade, so the mistakes he made cannot be treated as conflicts between ourselves and the enemy, and the review of his mistakes should be left to the party's organizational department, not to tools of dictatorship like the Cheka! "

    Uritsky, member of the Central Committee of the Soviet Union, Chairman of the St. Petersburg Cheka, and Military Commissar of the Petrograd Military District, boldly expressed his views.

    At this stage in 1918, the democratic centralism style within the Central Committee of the Soviet Union still wanted to be solid. The members of the Central Committee were all old Bolsheviks. They trusted and loved outstanding Bolshevik leaders such as Ulyanov and Trotsky.  But that doesn¡¯t mean that you are obsequious and dare not express your own opinions.

    ¡°In particular, Uritsky and his partner, Chairman of the Petersburg Soviet Krestinsky, were both sent down by Moscow as members of the Central Committee to lead the party, government and military in a local area to take charge of the overall situation.  It is quite comparable to the previous jobs of Joseph and Bubnov.

    In the view of Krestinsky and Uritsky, just because Joseph made the mistakes of personal heroism, decentralization and localism, Moscow cannot be allowed to point the finger at Petersburg next time.  Who among the leaders in charge of a local area does not have some paternalism?  If Moscow really wants to seize its own little pigtails, it may not necessarily be able to clear itself up.

    Comparing their feelings, if Moscow now said that it must cede Petersburg and the Baltic Sea coast to the enemy for the sake of peace, then Krestinsky and Uritsky would never agree to it. They were joking, in order to protect Petersburg  How many Bolshevik soldiers have died in a revolutionary holy place like Fort, and we have to hand it over. This is absolutely not okay!

    Of course, it would have been Tsaritsyn and the Southern Front who took the hit. Although Krestinsky and Uritsky would inevitably feel a bit sad about the death of a rabbit and a fox, they had no respect for Ulyanov and Trotsky, who were both civil and military.  The trust of this leader made them support the central government's action to deal with Joseph without hesitation.

    What's more, the five powerful factions of Bukharin, Dzerzhinsky, Sverdlov, Kamenev and Zinoviev all support the two leaders of Ukraine and Turkey. If they really want to do it for others,  mantisThese two people were not willing to do anything about the car accident.

    Ulitsky's proposal was approved by many Central Committee members. When everyone voted just now, they were scrambling without hesitation. Everyone was afraid that Comrade Ulyanov and Trotsky would misunderstand that he and Joseph were wearing the same pair of trousers.  Ulyanov said that Joseph was still a comrade, not an enemy. Uritsky, the regional leader of the Cheka, took the initiative to suggest that the Cheka should not be allowed to examine Joseph.

    The solemn atmosphere in the conference room suddenly relaxed a lot. Here, Stasova held a cigarette between her fingers, took a deep look at Joseph, turned her head and suggested,

    "Fellow members of the Central Committee, since Vladimir Ilyich also believes that Joseph is still our comrade. If he is a comrade, he is not afraid of making mistakes. If he corrects his mistakes, he will be encouraged. I believe that after a period of calm thinking, Comrade Joseph will definitely  Be able to recognize your mistakes, move on from them, and play a role again for the party and our cause!¡±

    "I agree with Comrade Yelena Dmitrievna's suggestion. Although Joseph has made mistakes, he is still our comrade. Vladimir Ilyich, what do you think of this? Comrade Joseph will stay in Moscow first.  The details of his issue can be further examined by the organizational department, and Comrade Sverdlov can be sent from the Organization Bureau of the Central Committee. Security guards, living conditions and rationing standards can continue to be implemented with reference to the standards of the Central Committee members."

    It was Trotsky who spoke. Although this guy did not need to win people's hearts or try to surrender Joseph, who had always been at odds with him, in order to avoid the split of the Soviet Red Army, it was necessary to be cautious and humane in dealing with Joseph's issue. This  He and Ulyanov also reached a consensus a little before.

    At the very least, the 120,000 main troops of the Southern Front are still waiting for Moscow to consider how to appease them. However, the guard division brought by Joseph, who is stationed in the barracks near Moscow University, would have led to internal strife without Joseph himself coming forward to write a note or something.  Let outsiders see the Soviet Red Army¡¯s jokes.

    Of course, if you want Joseph to bow his head completely at this moment, then he is not the familiar Joseph Vissarionovich Dzhugashvili. This little Georgian man with an iron will will not easily surrender to anyone.  People bow their heads, for which the Central Committee of the Soviet Union was fully mentally prepared.

    Here Ulyanov saw that the Central Committee members were begging for mercy. Even Trotsky had communicated with him according to the realization. Although Joseph was dismissed, his salary could not be reduced. The so-called problem was left to Sverdlov.  The organizational department review is nothing more than a symbolic excuse.

    According to the tone set by Ulyanov and Trotsky, Joseph's mistake was obvious. Individualism was placed above the collective, and he took advantage of the authority of the Tsaritsyn region and the Southern Front to demand power, official positions, and status.  Position, a typical decentralist style of Shantouism, but that¡¯s about it.

    Ulyanov and Trotsky did not put the label of splitting the Soviet Red Army on Joseph. This was clear to Joseph after he calmed down. If he put on this label, it would be difficult to be a comrade.  , the Central Committee of Soviet Russia has always had a zero-tolerance attitude towards rebellion in the army.

    In fact, since the Soviet Union was composed of various factions, and when the Soviet Red Army was formed, all kinds of forces were included. Therefore, since the outbreak of a full-scale civil war in March, the Soviet Red Army¡¯s former members  It was common for White Guard generals to lead their troops in rebellion one after another.

    The Soviet Red Army generals who basically rebelled had basically no chance of turning back. They could only go all the way to the dark side on the opposite side of the Bolsheviks. Of course, these former Tsarist Russian generals generally rarely turned back after the Constituent Assembly was dispersed.  , the left forces other than the Bolsheviks had no choice but to choose civil war. Constitutional democracy turned into the dictatorship of the Bolsheviks. How could the left-wing Socialist Revolutionaries, Mensheviks and Cadets accept this?

    After calming down, Joseph watched with cold eyes as Trotsky and Ulyanov expressed their opinions one after another. Obviously, not only did he continue to be regarded as a comrade, he also still retained the security and living conditions of a member of the Central Committee, and he could also see the Central Committee in a timely manner.  Of course, don't even think about 100% personal freedom. The so-called review by the organizational department will mostly use disguised house arrest with comfortable living conditions as the bottom line. Let's wait and see.

    Of course Joseph Vissarionovich Dzhugashvili, who lost all his positions inside and outside the party, is no longer a member of the Central Committee of the Soviet Union, and therefore cannot continue to participate in meetings of the Central Committee of the Soviet Union.  Under Delov's arrangement, Vasily, the deputy captain of the Kremlin Palace Guards, came in personally and asked Joseph to be relocated. Of course, he would have limited freedom. If he wanted to act alone or meet someone, or even leave Moscow, then  Definitely not.

    The plenary meeting of the Central Committee of the Soviet Union after Joseph left went very smoothly.Chang, first of all, everyone accepted the idea of ??negotiating peace with the Ufa Allied Forces. When the Soviet Red Army could not hold the Volga River with the existing strength of the Soviet Red Army, a truce with the Ufa Allied Forces and delimitation would not only prevent the Ufa Allied Forces from becoming  The enemy in front of you.

    At the same time, it also objectively caused the coalition to give up its support for Kolchak and his All-Russian Provisional Government, the White Guard regime. This was simply an unexpected surprise. Of course, you can say it was because the Ufa coalition controlled Kolcha  Internal strife broke out, but no matter how powerful Kolchak was, how could he compare with the ferocity of the Ufa coalition.

    If the cession of Saratov-Kursk and Tsaritsyn makes the Central Committee members present feel sad, then the Ufa-Ufa coalition will give up its public support for the Kolchak regime, and in particular will definitely not support Kolchak.  Any military operations west of the Volga River, and does not assume any obligations in the area under Kolchak's actual control north of the Volga River Kamala River.

    Such an exchange made all the members of the Soviet Central Committee present feel that a man as smart as Joseph could not figure out the pros and cons of making peace with the coalition before. This is simply puzzling. The only possibility is that this guy is so stupid that he is so stupid  , thinking that they could challenge Moscow Central on their own.

    The emergency meeting of the Central Committee of the Soviet Union on the night of July 15th finally passed the following resolution:

    1. The Volga Military District and the Front were established. The Eastern Front of the original Nizhny Novgorod Military District and the Southern Front of the North Caucasus Military District were merged into the Volga Military District and the Front together with their respective military districts, with Sverdlov as the newly established one.  Chairman of the Military District Military Committee and Commander of the Front Army, with Kamenev as Military Committee Member of the Military District Revolutionary Military Committee and Member of the Front Army¡¯s Former Enemy Military Committee.

    2. The dismissal of Joseph Vissarionovich Dzhugashvili from the post of Military Commissar of the North Caucasus Military District and the Southern Front, and the dismissal of the Commissar of National People's Commissar in the Soviet People's Commissar, and the mistakes made by the organizational department  Conduct a review and retain the relevant policy benefits of members of the Soviet Central Committee while the review draws new conclusions.

    3. Adopted the armistice and demarcation agreement reached by the Central Committee of Soviet Russia and the Ufa Allied Forces. The two sides ceased war and recognized each other with the Volga River as the boundary. Soviet Russia ceded the south of Saratov-Kursk and Tsaritsyn, and recognized the Volga Federation.  The autonomous government has sovereignty over the above-mentioned areas and, of course, the Volga Federal Autonomous Government undertakes not to support and not participate in any military operations of the Kolchak regime west of the Volga River.

    4. The Central Committee of the Soviet Union added Joffe, Deputy People's Commissar for Foreign Affairs, as a member of the Central Committee of the Soviet Union, and appointed Bubnov to take over the post of People's Commissar of Nationalities left by Joseph.
