    "Then what do you think we should do? Withdraw the garrison just like that? Is that Tsaritsyn Iron Infantry Division a team of the Soviet Red Army? If so, do you want to obey the order of the Supreme Military Council? I will give it to the one who doesn't  The division commander, who knew the sky was the limit, called and ordered his troops to take off the alert and go back to their barracks to sleep. Who allowed him to put the machine gun on the roof of the Moscow University? What a fool!"

    Sverdlov gritted his teeth and said bitterly, turning around to go to the duty room to make a phone call. Dzerzhinsky's expression was also very bad. Seeing this, he quickly grabbed Sverdlov and persuaded him,

    "Yakov Mikhailovich, don't rush there yet. That infantry division commander is just a jerk. I, the chairman of All-Russian Cheka, are nothing in his eyes. You, the deputy chairman of the Supreme Military Council, may not  I¡¯ve never heard of it! If that doesn¡¯t work, how about we ask Joseph to call his teacher?¡±

    "Absolutely not!" Sverdlov and Kamenev shouted in unison, which shocked Dzerzhinsky. He thought to himself, what's going on? They all reacted like this?  What did I say?  Isn't it just to let Joseph talk to his division? It's not like letting him go back to his army.

    "Use your brain, Felix Edmundovich, you have to learn to use your brain. How can you let Joseph return to the army at this time? What if Joseph is instigated and instigated by his ambitious subordinates who don't know the heights and heights of the world?  If comrades do not recognize today's resolution of the Soviet Central Committee, it may lead to a mutiny in Moscow. Who can bear this responsibility? Absolutely not!" Sverdlov shouted with a livid face.

    "It's not possible. To be honest, I was still hesitating just now whether I could ask Joseph to call his loyal 1st Tsaritsyn Iron Infantry Division and issue an order to calm Tsaritsyn's team.  But when I think about it, even letting Joseph make such a phone call is taking a huge risk. If Joseph Vissarionovich is confused for a moment and says something he shouldn't have said to the division commander on the phone, this matter will be a big deal.  It¡¯s out of control!¡±

    Kamenev obviously thought further than Sverdlov, and let¡¯s not mention it, this is not impossible. What if Joseph shouted so loudly and asked the division commander to lead troops into the Kremlin to rescue people?  It's really a big deal now.

    "What should we do?" The three Soviet Central Committee bosses in charge of Moscow's security guards in the small conference room looked at each other. For a moment, they were a little helpless against the Tsaritsin Infantry Division at Moscow University 1,500 meters away. This was like catching mice in a china shop.  , If you really want to take action, you will inevitably use a weapon that prevents rats from attacking.

    For Sverdlov and Kamenev, the two guys who gained the greatest benefits from Joseph's dismissal, if they really have nothing to do with the issue of the 1st Tsaritsyn Iron Infantry Division,  Shen, if Tsaritsyn and the Southern Front are forced to rebel, then it will be good for the Central Committee of Soviet Russia, and the two of them will be in charge of the Central Committee of the Volga Military District and the Front. It will really be a waste of money, little one.  If you can't bear it, your plans will be ruined.

    "Comrade Sverdlov, it turns out you are here. You have just received an emergency telegram from Tsaritsyn!" A staff officer on duty in the war room of the Supreme Military Commissar hurriedly opened the door and came in, holding a copy of the newly received telegram in his hand.  telegraph.

    "Tsaritsin's telegram?" Sverdlov frowned as he stepped forward to sign for the telegram. The three Central Committee members gathered around and looked at the telegram anxiously, only to see the telegram sent by Tsaritsin.  :

    The Revolutionary Military Commission of the North Caucasus Military District and Southern Front to the Central Committee of the Soviet Union and the Supreme Military Council of the Soviet Union

    We were shocked to learn that Comrade Joseph Vissarionovich lost contact after attending the Kremlin meeting and his whereabouts and life or death were unknown. The 1st Tsaritsyn Steel Infantry Division, which was responsible for escorting Comrade Joseph back to Moscow for the meeting, was destroyed by three Moscow garrison divisions.  Surrounded by Moscow State University, we ask the Central Committee of the Soviet Union and the Supreme Military Council to urgently confirm the following issues we have raised:

    1. What is the current whereabouts and condition of Comrade Joseph Vissarionovich Dzhugashvili, Chairman of the Revolutionary Military Committee of the North Caucasus Military District and Military Commissar of the Southern Front?  Does the Central Committee of the Soviet Union held in the Kremlin really exist?  If so, what happened at the meeting?  As a result, Comrade Joseph lost contact with the Tsaritsyn Steel Infantry Division!

    2. With the honor of the Revolutionary Military Committee of the North Caucasus Military District, the Former Enemy Military Committee of the Southern Front, and all the officers and men of the Eighth and Twelfth Army, we vouch for the Central Committee and the Supreme Military Council of the Soviet Union and follow Comrade Joseph and Bubnov to Moscow  All the soldiers of the 1st Tsaritsyn Iron Infantry Division are loyal Bolshevik troops from the working class and will never have any attempts at rebellion or internal strife.

    They and Comrade Joseph, like us far away in Tsaritsyn, are all greatAs a member of the Soviet Red Army, he has been on the battlefield and tested in all previous wars. His loyalty to the Soviets and the Bolsheviks is unquestionable!

    3. In order to avoid intensification of the situation due to incomprehension and misunderstanding, we certainly believe that the Moscow garrison has the power to enforce curfew and martial law in Moscow, but we use three divisions of armed forces to surround our Soviet Red Army comrades who have come all the way from Tsaritsyn.  This cannot be justified in any way!

    In the name of all Soviet Red Army soldiers and Bolshevik Party members in Tsaritsyn, we request the central government to order the lifting of the siege of Moscow University. We can guarantee that without receiving orders and permission, the 1st Tsaritsyn Steel Infantry Division will  Stay at the University of Moscow¡¯s location and refrain from taking any unauthorized actions that could lead to misunderstandings.

    The premise of all the above is that we can get the answer to the question raised in the first point of this telegram in time. This is very critical. If Moscow cannot give the answer, the situation will be serious. I hope you can understand the comrades on Tsaritsyn¡¯s side.  Where the mood and concern lie!

    We are waiting for your answer in front of the radio. At the same time, we have sent a telegram to the 1st Tsaritsyn Steel Division, asking the division commander Pavlov and all the commanders and fighters of the infantry division to exercise maximum restraint and avoid misfires!

    Tsaritsyn¡¯s troops are members of the glorious Soviet Red Army. They have no tradition of surrendering their arms to the enemy, let alone being disarmed by their own people. Please understand the feelings of the soldiers!

    The following are signed by Sergin, Gidis, Voroshilov and Chernavin.

    After reading the telegram, Sverdlov and Kamenev looked at each other. They did not expect that the infantry division of Moscow University would get in touch with Tsaritsin via telegram so quickly. It was obviously not how to face that Tsaritsin Steel now.  The problem of the 1st Infantry Division is over. Now the Soviet Central Committee and the Supreme Military Council are facing the entire Tsaritsyn and Southern Front troops standing behind this division.

    "This telegram is the amulet of the infantry division commander named Pavlov. This bastard is really quick. We can't let the Moscow garrison conflict with the other side under any circumstances now. The solution to this matter must be started from Tsaritsin."  , it seems that the Central Committee¡¯s resolution on the issue of Comrade Joseph must be conveyed to Tsaritsyn and the Southern Front tonight!¡±

    Kamenev read the telegram he received again, raised his head and said solemnly to Sverdlov and Dzerzhinsky.

    "Should I ask Comrade Ulyanov and Trotsky for instructions and just pass on the Central Committee's resolution on the issue of Comrade Joseph? If the other party cannot confirm the safety of Comrade Joseph, I'm afraid they may not be able to accept it.  ! Maybe they thought we had killed Joseph by carrying out a coup?¡±

    Sverdlov also came to his senses at this time. Obviously, the matter was intricately connected and very subtle, and it could be said that one move affected the whole body. Comrade Joseph Vissarionovich Dzhugashvili may not have split the Red Army before he came to Moscow.  In an attempt to split the Bolshevik Party, he insisted on bringing a Guards Division into Moscow and insisted on setting up the garrison in the Moscow University Barracks. Only he himself knew the secret.

    This is a matter of great importance. Fortunately, although the commander of the Tsaritsyn Steel Infantry Division had an outrageous tone and dared to give a 15-minute ultimatum to the Chairman of All-Russian Cheka on the phone, since the Southern Army Headquarters said that it had already given the division  A telegram was sent asking them to exercise restraint, so that the Tsaritsyn Infantry Division of Moscow State University would not act rashly until they formally responded to the questions raised by Tsaritsyn.

    In desperation, Sverdlov and Kamenev still rejected Dzerzhinsky's proposal, and invited Comrade Joseph to call his subordinates at Moscow University to appease the other party's attempt to appease the infantry division. Instead, they called  Dzerzhinsky went back to the big conference room and invited Ulyanov and Trotsky over again.

    "What's going on, Yakov Mikhailovich, Lev Borisovich, and you, Chairman of the Cheka, everyone is waiting for you three to go back to continue the meeting, why are you still fussing about that?  What happened to the Tsaritsin Infantry Division? Why did Tsaritsin get involved so quickly? This is Moscow! "

    The Chairman of the Central Committee of the Soviet Union returned to the small conference room again with his hands behind his back and groaning. Behind the small leader was the tall and thin Trotsky, and in front of him was the taller and even slightly rickety Dzerzhins.  base.

    Kamenev was quick to talk, and it was not his idea to mobilize three Moscow garrison divisions to surround the Moscow University during martial law and curfew, so this guy first told what happened. Now Ulyanov and Thomas  Lotsky's face became serious.

    Beside him, Sverdlov rubbed his hands and explained with a bit of embarrassment,

    ¡°Vladimir Ilyich, Moscow University is only 1,500 meters away from here.The troops coming from Rijin are relatively unfamiliar, and tonight is such an important meeting. I'm afraid that the other side's military discipline is not strict and they wander around in the middle of the night and cause trouble, so I mobilized a little more troops, but I have no intention of surrendering the other side's weapons or force.  Solution means!  It¡¯s just a matter of being prepared for a rainy day!  "

    Trotsky glanced at Kamenev, the commander of the Moscow garrison, and when he saw the helpless look coming over him, he knew that Sverdlov's meddling had even been concealed from Kamenev.  Of course, he, the chairman of the Supreme Military Council, had no idea. Obviously, Joseph was not the only one with ambitions and scheming. Comrade Sverdlov's self-aggrandizement was also fermenting. Trotsky's face was gloomy.  Think so.
