Politicians have no bottom line. When two politicians become opponents, the winner is often more shameless and unbottom line. Just like Trotsky and Stalin now, compared with Stalin, Trotsky's moral ethics are of course nobler, which is also the main reason why he has a high prestige in the party, government and military. But it is precisely this reason that the struggle between him and Stalin has never gained the upper hand. It was like this before and now.

The mutiny of the troops was quickly suppressed after Temuxine arrived with the guard division. In order to ensure stability, Trotsky mobilized the Sixty-first Infantry Division and took a series of measures to replace commanders and fighters at all levels and disrupt the reorganization of soldiers. However, before his measures were in place, panic problems occurred one after another in the remaining troops. Although under strict control, fires everywhere had already made Trotsky feel overwhelmed.

Moreover, this phenomenon has become increasingly serious over time. Although the Red Army troops that are constantly moving from the west have not yet launched an attack on Trotsky's troops, the entire army has reached the brink of collapse. Trotsky dare not imagine what kind of results will face when this battle starts.

By this time, it can be said that the battle between Trotsky and Stalin has become a loser. Seeing that the situation is getting worse day by day, Trotsky is powerless to do anything about it. In a hurry, he asked Tukhachevsky and other confidants to discuss countermeasures again, but after discussing for a long time, he still couldn't come up with any solution.

"Why don't we go to the Far East..." a division commander said this, and as soon as he finished speaking, the house was silent. If this was said during the uprising, he would probably be attacked by a group of people before Trotsky could speak, and even deprived him of command on the spot and imprisoned him.

But the situation is completely different now. There is almost no way to go. With the continuous infiltration and attack of all aspects of politics, military, and propaganda, Moscow has been defeated. The commander who mustered up the courage to say this can be said to have expressed the thoughts of many people present. Some people have actually thought about this only way out in their hearts, but they never dared to speak. Today, someone finally said it for them. Everyone was surprised and couldn't help but look at Trotsky sitting in the main seat.

Trotsky's mouth was bitter. With his wisdom, he would not misunderstand the reason for his subordinates' suggestions. But to let him abandon his always-standing belief and bow down in front of the enemy, the proud Trotsky would not do this even if he died. But then again, Trotsky could sacrifice for his belief and even give his own everything, but what should his subordinates do? Because the people present in his uprisings have all their families destroyed, and their families who remained in the Soviet area were either cleansed or imprisoned, and they are still able to support him by their side, which has reached the maximum limit of a revolutionary.

In addition to these senior officers, there are hundreds of thousands of soldiers of the former Eastward Front Army. Could it be that Trotsky would also let them bury him with him? Especially some ordinary soldiers, if it were not for his own reasons, perhaps they would not have been involved in this incident at all. Now what is in front of him is a road that cannot be understood. Even if Trotsky bows his head to Stalin, he may not have let these ordinary soldiers go with Stalin's viciousness. For Stalin, these hundreds of thousands of people are just a cold number on his list of cleaning up.

These days, Trotsky has thought about it a lot and thought about it a lot. He knew it was time to make a decision. Once the Red Army in the west launched an attack on him, it would be too late to do so. He was not willing to die himself. The problem was that he had to consider the way out of his subordinates and hundreds of thousands of soldiers. It was his own mistake to take them on this path, and he could never watch them fall into the abyss.

"It's time to make a decision..." Trotsky said to himself. Today's suggestion from his subordinates is enough to show that the capital to continue to confront Stalin has been completely lost, and it will be too late to make a way out.

In just a few minutes, Trotsky seemed to have grown much older. Seeing everyone staring at him, he sighed and stood up and said, "Comrades! The road before us is no longer open. I think everyone knows what consequences we will face if we delay. For everyone's consideration, I, Lev Davedovic, Bronstein, decided here to hand over the command to Comrade Temusin from now on..."

"Comrade Trotsky. You..." Temuxin stood up in shock. Trotsky waved his hand at him without waiting for him to speak, and said with a light expression: "Comrade Timuxin, you are an excellent commander and fighter, and also a clear-headed chief of staff. I believe that handing over the troops to you at this time is the best choice. I think you can be able to lead everyone to make appropriate decisions."

Trotsky didn't say anything clearly, but everyone understood what he meant. Many people secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and were worried about this respected old leader.

"Comrade Trotsky, what about you? What should you do?"

Trotsky was silent for a while, looked out the window, his eyes seemed to penetrate the entire Surgut, wandering over the vast Russian land, and the majestic Kremlin in Moscow...

"I will leave my country for the time being, but I will never abandon my beliefs and ideals."

"Comrade Trotsky!"

Everyone was shocked. None of them expected that Trotsky would decide to go into exile abroad, and quickly spoke in unison to persuade each other.

"Needless to say, I have decided to let Comrade Temuxin handle the next thing. I'm tired..." Trotsky said in a hoarse voice, then turned around and walked out of the conference room door.

Everyone looked at Trotsky's lonely back, and felt desolation and lamentation in their hearts until the moment the door closed, everyone's eyes were wet.

Two days later, Surgut's Trotsky troops were in contact with the Russian Imperial Government forces in Siberia. The telegram sent from the Far East early on the third morning gave instructions to the front-line troops. That night, Trotsky quietly left Surgut with only a few people around him, and then disappeared. In the early morning of the fourth day, the former Trotsky troops led by Temuxingo quickly evacuated Surgut without having time to react, and transported the troops to the vicinity of the Siberian defense line through railways, and at the same time destroyed all public facilities and railway networks of Surgut.

A few hours later, the Orthodox Government of the Russian Empire announced that the former Red Army Eastward Front Army announced an uprising, and Timushingo, headed by the supreme commander, and hundreds of thousands of soldiers under his command changed their flags and joined the ranks of the Russian Empire's government. In response, the head of the orthodox government of the Russian Empire, Her Majesty the Empress claimed that this was a great victory in the revival of Russia. She pardoned all the soldiers of the revolting First Eastern Front Army in the name of the Empress and the Head of State for civil war, and promised to give proper resettlement and reward. For senior generals such as Timushingo, the Empress also awarded them the title of aristocratic and the corresponding rank and status in the Red Army.

When they received the news of Trotsen's troops evacuating, the Red Army troops in the west had no time to react. On the one hand, they reported the situation to their superiors, and on the other hand, they sent reconnaissance troops to inquire about the truth and reality. After the superiors ordered them, they mobilized the troops to march towards Surgut quickly. But when they arrived at Surgut, they saw that what was left for them was a dilapidated and empty city. Before Temuxingo evacuated, almost all the things that Surgut could move were emptied. Even if they could not move, they were destroyed by the broken rear troops. Not to mention people in the whole city, there were not even a few rats left. The Red Army soldiers rushing into the city stared at the quiet city like a ghost city.

All the facilities and railways of Surgut were destroyed, resulting in the Red Army troops coming that could not be pursued. Not long after they entered the city, news about Trotsai troops joining the Russian Imperial Government Army was also broadcasted through telegrams. After learning about the situation, Stalin got angry in the Kremlin and arrested more than a dozen generals of the front-line Red Army in one breath. The charge was for sympathizing with Trotsky and deliberately letting the enemy go. It is possible to imagine what consequences these generals will face in the near future. Concentration camps or execution grounds are probably their final belonging.

"Where are the Trotsky people?" Fang Zida received the news earlier than Stalin, and it was in the early morning. He hurried from his home to the office, carefully read the information sent from the Far East and asked Dai Chunfeng quickly.

"The Far East has arranged for him to board the ship, and his destination is Europe, perhaps Switzerland, or Norway..." Zhou Yuanliang was not in Beijing, and Dai Chunfeng, as the person in charge of Japanese and Russian intelligence, reported directly to Fang Zidahui.

Fang Zida understood as soon as he heard this, it must be a deal between Trotsky and the Far East. But that's fine. A living Trotsky is much more valuable than a dead Trotsky. Although a woman in the Far East made a big deal, judging from Trotsky's decision this time, perhaps the situation is not as bad as he had expected before.
