    July 15, 1918 22:00 Moscow Kremlin

    The plenary meeting of the Central Committee of the Soviet Union is still being held in full swing. The situation in various places has been complicated and changeable in the past few months. There are many issues in policy control that require communication and exchange. Dzerzhinsky came in from outside the conference room and walked out.  He went to the chair of the meeting, Sverdlov, and whispered a few words.

    Sverdlov frowned, turned around and whispered a few words to Ulyanov, the chairman of the Soviet Central Committee beside him. Ulyanov was startled, and then quickly whispered to Trots on the right.  After Ji exchanged opinions, Trotsky was startled when he heard this, and nodded solemnly.

    Ulyanov turned to Sverdlov, spread his hands, shrugged, and Sverdlov cleared his throat and announced,

    "Members and comrades of the Central Committee, it is getting late and everyone is a little tired. I announce that the meeting will be suspended and everyone will rest for fifteen minutes. Then we will continue! Many Central Committee members will rush back to their places early tomorrow morning, so today  We still have a very arduous task in the evening, and we must finish the meeting well.¡±

    After hearing this, the Central Committee members stood up one after another. Some went out to use the bathroom, while others began to eat the fruit pudding and biscuits served by the staff. Several Central Committee members thought to themselves that Comrade Joseph probably brought this fruit from the south.  , Hey, you said you did a good job, but why did you suddenly offend Ulyanov and Trotsky? Who can save you in the future?

    As soon as the meeting adjourned, Ulyanov, Trotsky, Sverdlov and Kamenev followed Dzerzhinsky to a small conference room near the big conference room.  , Ulyanov shouted slightly dissatisfied after entering the door,

    "What the hell, Felix Edmundovich, what's going on that requires an adjournment to solve the problems you're facing? Tell me what problems have troubled you, Chairman of the Cheka!" Uliano said  Apparently my husband was in the mood for something at the meeting, and was quite dissatisfied with Dzerzhinsky's interference.

    "Vladimir Ilyich, things are indeed very difficult. Do you remember the infantry division that followed Joseph from Tsaritsyn? They are a little emotional now! They don't listen to advice, let alone obey the orders of the Moscow Garrison Headquarters.  ! Of course, not obeying the orders of the Kremlin Guard Captain!¡±

    Dzerzhinsky gritted his teeth and spread his hands and cried out in pain. Obviously, this guy knew that he could not deal with the infantry division from Tsaritsyn, which would affect his career. However, at this time, he did not have the authority to order the Moscow garrison.  The division in Moscow University was to be solved by force, not to mention that Moscow University is less than 1,500 meters away from the Kremlin.

    Dzerzhinsky did not even dare to let gunshots ring out on the streets of Moscow at this moment. Although the commander of the Moscow Garrison Command was concurrently served by Moscow Soviet Chairman Kamenev, in fact, the Kremlin Guards and the Chekana Guards  All three parties, the army and the troops of the Moscow Garrison Command, are responsible for the security of the capital and the central security of the Kremlin.

    "That infantry division? It's the 1st Iron Infantry Division that Comrade Joseph brought from Tsaritsyn? What happened to them? Didn't the Supreme Military Council let them be stationed in the Moscow University Barracks? The conditions there are already the best in Moscow.  They are still not satisfied?¡±

    Because the Chairman of the Central Committee of the Soviet Union successfully solved Joseph's problem at the meeting, and then smoothly advanced the agenda of the meeting, the atmosphere in the large conference room was harmonious and peaceful. Therefore, Comrade Chairman was quite optimistic in his high mood, but he did not realize it for a moment.  Yes, Joseph, the former member of the Soviet Central Committee, was captured, but the 1st Iron Infantry Division from Tsaritsyn has not yet been recruited and settled!

    "Well, Vladimir Ilyich, according to the order of the Supreme Military Council, Moscow will implement martial law and curfew at 9 o'clock tonight, just like during the previous tense period! Maybe, it is the martial law and curfew implemented by the Moscow garrison.  The curfew caused alarm and uneasiness in the Tsaritsyn Infantry Division stationed at Moscow University."

    Kamenev, member of the Soviet Central Committee, Chairman of the Moscow Soviet and garrison commander, said on the sidelines that of course he knew about martial law and curfew, but it was just a routine method to prevent problems in the bud at night during the plenary session of the Central Committee of the Soviet Union.  That's all, this guy was thinking, could it be that he actually alerted Joseph's guard division?

    "That's enough, just ask the infantry division from Tsaritsyn to stay quietly in the camp and not to run around at night during the martial law and curfew period. What's so difficult about this? My Felix E.  Comrade Demondovich!" Ulyanov waved his hand disapprovingly, turned around, opened the door, left the room, and went back to the conference room. This guy just thought of something to discuss with Chicherin, the People's Commissar for Foreign Affairs.  .

    "Uh What's the problem? Felix Edmundovich! The meeting is in progress.The situation was in full swing, and there were so many major issues waiting for the Central Committee members to discuss. What was so difficult about the infantry division from Tsaritsyn?  If there is anything you three can discuss, it will be settled." Trotsky, the chairman of the Supreme Military Council, grinned, waved his hands and left the room. He also had something to do and wanted to take advantage of the adjournment to find Bubnov and Uri.  Tsky discussed.

    "Yakov Mikhailovich, you, the deputy chairman of the Supreme Military Council, cannot leave, and Lev Borisovich, you, the commander of the Moscow Garrison, cannot leave!" Dzerzhinsky  Seeing this, he hurriedly grabbed Sverdlov and Kamenev beside him and said with a grimace.

    "Don't worry, we won't leave. But, Felix Edmundovich, what's wrong with martial law and curfew? Does that Tsaritsyn Infantry Division want to rebel?" Kamenev opened the door.  Chairman Ka held his hand tightly and asked.

    "Isn't this an order from you? Lev Borisovich, three worker divisions of the Moscow Garrison took advantage of martial law and curfew to surround the Moscow University, and the roofs of the surrounding buildings were filled with Maxim heavy equipment.  Machine gun, if you were the infantry division of Tsaritsyn, would you be able to sleep?" Dzerzhinsky said, spreading his hands.

    "Three divisions were dispatched to surround Moscow University? I have never given such an order. According to the order of the Supreme Military Council, the garrison will implement curfew and martial law from 9 o'clock tonight, but there is no need for three divisions to surround Moscow.  University? Three divisions are too many to enforce the curfew in the entire city of Moscow!" Kamenev asked with a look of surprise.

    "Well, Lev Borisovich and Felix Edmundovich dispatched three divisions to guard the area around Moscow University. This is my order. I am the deputy chairman of the Supreme Military Council and can directly command Moscow.  Garrison, Chikane Guards and Kremlin Guards!" Sverdlov, who had been silent for a long time, said.

    "Is it your order? I don't understand. Does the Central Committee of the Soviet Union want to hand over the weapons of the 1st Iron Infantry Division from Tsaritsyn? Ulyanov and Trotsky didn't tell me about this! Fei!  "Lix Edmondovich, do you know this?"

    Kamenev was shocked and surprised, and he was still a little dissatisfied. He was the nominal commander of the Moscow garrison, and Sverdlov actually bypassed him and directly issued additional orders to the garrison!  Although he has this authority as the vice chairman of the Supreme Military Council, he actually hid this from himself, the real garrison commander, which makes people feel uncomfortable!

    "I don't know about this either, but the infantry division commander from Tsaritsyn was very angry and said that if we didn't remove the garrison surrounding him and the machine guns set up on the roofs of the surrounding buildings, he would have no idea what was going to happen below.  Taking responsibility, he also asked to find Joseph as soon as possible, only gave us fifteen minutes, and even dropped my phone number. What should I do now? "It was obviously the first time for Chairman Cheka to meet such an awesome infantry division commander.  I was a little overwhelmed for a while.

    "If necessary, it's no big deal to disarm the infantry division. Now we just surround and prohibit them from entering and exiting the camp. If the other party disobeys the curfew and martial law orders and tries to leave the camp, it will be an attempt to rebel. Don't  To say that you are disarming is to eliminate them and to defend Moscow and the Soviet Union! Lev Borisovich, don¡¯t forget your and my duties!¡±

    Sverdlov's tone was quite disapproving. Of course, neither Ulyanov nor Trotsky told him that they would use force to deal with the Tsaritsyn infantry division. However, if this infantry division really  If he had evil intentions, then Sverdlov would regard this as a good opportunity to show Tsaritsyn and Joseph, and also a good opportunity for himself and Kamenev to establish their authority in front of Tsaritsyn's troops.

    "This is inappropriate, Yakov Mikhailovich. Even if we can disarm this so-called Iron Infantry Division, we will still pay a price and casualties, and let the Kolchak White Guards see the joke of the Soviet Red Army's internal strife.  , The Socialist Revolutionaries and Mensheviks are still ready to make a move, and more importantly, how will the Southern Front and Tsaritsin explain it? "

    Kamenev frowned, obviously not agreeing with Sverdlov¡¯s point of view. Before Sverdlov could refute, the guy continued,

    "Moscow University is just one division. Tsaritsyn and the Southern Front have more than a dozen divisions and hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians. If we destroy this division tonight, how will we attack Sergin, Voroshilov, and Chernavin tomorrow?"  Explain? Will the Volga Military District and Front Army be established? How can we resist Kolchak¡¯s upcoming attack?¡±

    Kamenev's words immediately caused a layer of oily sweat to form on Sverdlov's forehead. It would be a small thing to kill one of the opponent's divisions. If Tsaritsyn and the Southern Front were forced to rebel, they would be ruined.  The great situation after the Central Committee of the Soviet Union successfully dismissed Joseph from his post has become a big problem. At this time, Sverdlov faintly felt that he hadThe previous move of mobilizing three divisions to test the response of the Charizin Infantry Division in the name of martial law and curfew was a bit too hasty.
