    After Trotsky and Stalin fell out, Stalin ordered Dzerzhinsky to carry out a large number of purges within the party. Although this ruthless method allowed Stalin to firmly grasp the power of the Supreme Soviet, due to his involvement in the purges,  Too many people, coupled with the large number of party, government and military cadres who were executed without normal trial procedures, also led to internal dissent within the Soviet Union against Stalin's disregard for right and wrong.

    The current Stalin has not been able to dominate the world as he did in history. However, there are many revolutionaries who are more senior than him at the top of the party. Stalin does not dare to fall out with them until the foundation of these people is eradicated.  Just one Trotsky is enough for him. Once these veterans are pushed into a hurry, doesn't it mean that several more Trotskys will emerge?

    Just when Stalin and Trotsky were quarreling with each other and secretly rushing to purge, the reaction of the orthodox government of the Russian Empire made Stalin overjoyed. As the saying goes, a pillow came when he was napping, and now Stalin caught the opponent.  In response, Stalin immediately ordered the state propaganda machine to be activated all night long, using a violent bombing method to equate Trotsky with the orthodox government of the Russian Empire, completely ruining the reputation of the other party, and thereby occupying the moral supremacy.  point.

    At the same time, with this handle, Stalin was able to carry out purges more unscrupulously, and the Cheka organization headed by Dzerzhinsky began even more crazy actions. In just a few days, they executed people in the name of counterrevolutionaries and traitors.  Thousands of people.

    "These bastards! Idiots! Executioners!"

    In Surgut, the headquarters of the Soviet Trotskyists, Trotsky was cursing angrily, and two of his henchmen, Tukhachevsky and Timoshenko, were smoking cigarettes with equally ugly faces. There was a kind of atmosphere in the room.  An extremely depressing atmosphere.

    Just half an hour ago, they received the news.  Trotsky's 16-year-old son Lyova was brutally executed by Moscow. The whereabouts of his second son Sergei and his wife Natalia are unknown. More than 300 people were executed with Lyova, most of them  Trotsky's old subordinates in the party, government and army have cut off thousands of heads with the butcher knife wielded in Moscow, and this number continues to rise by three digits every day.  His methods are outrageous.

    Although they have not yet received news of the execution of their own family members, Tukhachevsky and Timoshenko knew that their family members left in the west were probably in danger as well.

    "Comrade Trotsky, we must come up with a solution!" Timoshenko said with a sad face.

    "Yes, Comrade Trotsky, the situation is becoming more and more unfavorable to us. After Moscow officially declared us as anti-party counterrevolutionaries and traitors, the morale of the troops below is getting lower day by day. If we continue like this, we will not wait for Stalin to attack us.  Come here, we may collapse on our own." The cigarette butt in Tukhachevsky's hand was already hot to the touch.  But he still took a deep breath, with lingering sadness in his expression.

    "The East wants to kill people with a borrowed knife!" Trotsky gnashed his teeth and cursed: "If that bitch's puppet government hadn't interfered, how could things have turned out like this? I know Stalin very well. He was a very powerful person.  A man with excellent means and character, now that such a good opportunity falls into his hands, from a political point of view, we have lost the battle"

    "Comrade Trotsky can't say that. The eyes of the masses are still sharp! There are still many party members who support you. Now we must find ways to come up with countermeasures as soon as possible. We must not let Stalin continue to smear us. Only in this way can we regain our  Get the capital to compete with him." Trotsky seemed to be frustrated.  Timoshenko quickly comforted him.

    "It's difficult" Trotsky shook his head. As the founder of the Red Army, he knew clearly that the combat effectiveness of the Red Army did not depend on how advanced the troops were or how capable the commanders were, but rather what the troops had  Indestructible beliefs and ideals.  Only in this way can the Red Army be victorious in every battle and still fight tenaciously against the enemy even in the most difficult moments.  But now Stalin caught his loophole.  After resorting to ruthless tactics, once everyone believed that Trotsky had colluded with the orthodox government of the Russian Empire, the belief that supported them collapsed, and the results can be imagined.

    Thinking of this, Trotsky couldn't help but curse the bastards of the orthodox government of the Russian Empire again.  His falling out with Stalin was politically beneficial to the Far East.  But who would have thought that the Far East would set fire to him behind his back, and now he has joined forces with Stalin to force him into a desperate situation. If he had known this, it would be better to surrender without mercy, at least he would still have a good reputation.

    "Comrade Trotsky, maybe we gather our troops and fight against the puppet government forces. In this case, we can prove with actual actions that we and the Far East are not of the same mind. No matter what the situation is, there will no longer be any hope for Moscow.  There is no way to make an issue out of the current topic and throw dirty water on our heads" Tukhachevsky thought hard for a long time.?, proposed a seemingly feasible method.

    "I object!" Timoshenko immediately retorted: "This is absolutely not possible! Even if we do this, with Stalin's cunning, he can come up with another set of excuses. For example, it is just a show between us and the puppet government.  , the purpose is to deceive the masses who do not know the truth. Moreover, now we are almost attacked from both fronts and backs. With the Red Army troops deployed against us from the west looking eagerly at us, we turn around and fight against the puppet government that has temporarily suspended the war. This is not only from a military point of view  It seems to be an absolute taboo. Once the troops from the west attack us when we are fighting with the puppet government, we will definitely lose under the attack from both front and rear!"

    "This won't work, that won't work, then what do you think we should do? Can't we just sit back and wait for death?" Tukhachevsky shouted anxiously. Timoshenko opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he sighed.  Nothing was said.

    The situation almost reached the most dangerous point. One countermeasure after another flashed through Trotsky's mind, but in the end he rejected them one by one.  In the end, Trotsky had no choice but to continue to maintain the status quo, letting Timoshenko and others appease the soldiers and firmly control the troops. As long as the troops were still in hand, relying on Surgut should be able to maintain it for a while.  Hopefully, the situation will change again by then, in their favor.

    "It's bad! Something bad is going to happen!"

    Just when Trotsky had no choice but to make this decision, a man stumbled in. He was sweating profusely as he ran, and the military cap on his head was lost. The military uniform on his body was even more dirty.  He was crooked, dirty and disheveled. If you look closely, this person is a teacher below.

    "What a yell! Do you still have the style of a revolutionary soldier?"

    Looking at his appearance, Trotsky felt the fire in his heart suddenly burst out, and he slapped the table and cursed.

    "Report to Comrade Commander!" After being scolded, the division commander quickly saluted, and then without caring about anything else, he hurriedly shouted: "The 61st Infantry Division mutinied! Fight the fight started"

    "What!" Everyone present stood up at the same time. Timoshenko was closest to the division commander. He grabbed him by the collar and shouted: "The troops mutinied? What's the reason? Why did you, the division commander, come to the headquarters if you don't suppress the troops?"  You're running away from the battlefield! You're derelict in your duties! II'm going to shoot you!"

    "ComradeComrade Chief of StaffII" The division commander turned pale with fright and could not even speak.

    It was Trotsky who stopped Timoshenko and asked him to let go of the division commander: "What happened? What is the situation in the army now? Say it! Say it quickly!"

    "Comrade Commander, it's like this" Slightly relieved, the division commander quickly told what he knew.  The 61st Infantry Division is a force stationed in the western border area and a main force of the original Eastward Front.  But just a few days ago, with the news coming intermittently from the west, the morale of the troops began to become unstable. As the division commander, he tried his best to calm it down. Who would have thought that today he would bring someone into the city to make contact?  At that moment, the logistics department suddenly received news that his troops had mutinied outside the city.

    After receiving the news, the division commander immediately sent people back to the troops to suppress it, and he rushed all the way to the headquarters to request assistance. As for the real cause of the mutiny, even he did not understand it. He just heard that there seemed to be some bad news coming from the west.  Some grassroots soldiers strongly demanded to leave the team, but mutiny broke out after being stopped by cadres.

    "How did you become a division commander? Youyou are simply incompetent!" Tukhachevsky turned livid with anger and cursed in front of his head, while Trotsky stood there with a gloomy face and said nothing.

    "Comrade Trotsky, may I take the security division there?" Tukhachevsky knew that now was not the time to dwell on the cause of the mutiny, but to suppress the mutiny immediately, so he quickly suggested.

    ¡°Comrade Tukhachevsky, I¡¯m begging you! Pay attention to safety!¡±

    Tukhachevsky nodded, picked up the armed belt aside without saying a word, and hurried away with the unlucky division commander.

    After Tukhachevsky left, Trotsky walked a few steps in the room, and then told Timoshenko: "Comrade Timoshenko, you immediately take people to visit the various units. You must ensure that all  If there are any problems with the stability of the army, we can make a decision on the fly! The situation of the 61st Infantry Division will never be allowed to happen again!"

    "Yes!" Timoshenko stood at attention, saluted, then turned back in a beautiful and standard way, and strode away.

    ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????¡­  He held on to the shaky table and sat down slowly. If he hadn't been wearing a military uniform, he would have looked like an ordinary old farmer, and he would have lost his original high-spiritedness.  (To be continued)
