Beiyang 1917

"From the February Revolution to the present, from the October Revolution to the present, and from January this year to the present, the contributions made by the Southern Front and Tsaritsyn to Moscow and the Soviets are obvious to all. In my opinion, the whole of Russia is a game of chess, and Moscow is a game of chess. , We Tsaritsyn is also a game of chess, we can only pick up the burden we can move, what about defending Moscow, if the troops of our Southern Front can't even defend our hometown Tsaritsyn, why should we leave our hometown and go north to defend Moscow? "

Joseph Vissarionovich Dzhugashvili, a member of the Central Yang Committee of the Soviet Union, a military commissar of the North Caucasus Military Region, and a military commissar (political commissar) of the Southern Front, had already put on a new Populus euphratica pipe at some point. Stuffing shredded Moho Tatar tobacco into the pipe, he said thoughtfully.Baidu search: reading novels

Comrade Joseph has apparently regained his composure from the gaffe just now. The more pressure Moscow puts on Tsaritsin, the more Joseph feels that he has to provoke Tsaritsin's burden. Is it Bolshevism to talk about it?Of course it’s still Bolshevism, not to mention that when the armistice was negotiated with Germany in Brest, didn’t the Central Committee split into three different opinions?

In the end, the opinions were not unified. Although Ulyanov is the leader of the party, he cannot impose his personal will on the collective. Although Moscow is the seat of the central government of Soviet Russia, he cannot just see the flowers and plants and the ups and downs of Moscow. Rain, couldn't Tsaritsyn become the center of the revolution?

Since Petrograd can give up its status as the capital, why not move the capital from Moscow to Tsaritsyn when the situation is unfavorable?Keep saying who will defend Moscow to defend the Soviet?

We must face up to history and admit reality. From the day the Bolsheviks existed, countless factions and countless hills have existed objectively. The troops formed by the Southern Front last night at the center of Tsaritsyn on the lower reaches of the Volga River first attacked Tsaritsyn and Volga The state of parents in the lower reaches of the river bears an unshirkable responsibility.

Joseph's heart fluctuated, and his hands trembled slightly under the agitation. The pipe he was holding tightly did not light up after a few strokes. Here, Voroshilov picked up another box of matches from the table and struck it. He stepped forward and lit a cigarette for the de facto leader of the Southern Front Army and the Tsaritsin Party, Government and Army.

Although the commander of the southern front army is Sejing, the military commissar Joseph is in charge. Therefore, the words of the political commissar of the front army obviously hit the hearts of every southern front army general in the meeting room like a heavy hammer. Many people wondered secretly, could it be Comrade Joseph is going to have a showdown with Moscow?

Bubnov, another member of the Central Committee who was barely considered the second person in Tsaritsyn, chairman of the Tsaritsin Soviet, and member of the Military Committee of the North Caucasus Military District, was obviously a little disapproving. This fellow lit a cigarette in his hand and smoked it vigorously. Don't bite your breath.

Zhong Yang member Bubnov was originally the chairman of the Ukrainian Supreme Soviet and the military commissar of the Ukrainian Military District. However, after the Soviet Russia and Germany negotiated an armistice, Soviet Russia abandoned Ukraine and Belarus and acquiesced to the local Social Revolutionaries and Constitutional Party organizations The establishment of the bourgeois provisional self-government zheng fu and later the du li withdrew almost all Bolshevik forces from the above-mentioned areas.

Bubnov could have returned to Moscow to report on his duties, but this guy was not reconciled. Voroshilov took the rest of the Ukrainian Fifth Army and withdrew to Tsaritsyn to serve as horsemen for Joseph and the Southern Front Army. During the three battles of defending Tsaritsyn, Joseph's telegram exchanges were full of quarrels and disputes.

Therefore, as a supporter and ally of Trotsky in the Zhongyang Committee, Bubolov was sent to Tsaritsyn to strengthen local work as a member of the Zhongyang Committee. A member of the Military Committee of the Military District, assigned a part of the authority of Comrade Joseph to prevent Comrade Georgia blacksmith from covering the sky with one hand in the south.

Of course, because Comrade Joseph has made great efforts in Tsaritsyn and the Southern Front Army, even though the political commissar comrade who likes to wear a dark military uniform gave Bubnov the title of Chairman of the Tsaritsyn Soviet, he also let this fellow enter The Military Committee of the North Caucasus Military Region served as a military committee member, but Bubnov did not allow Bubnov to reach into the Southern Front Army to intervene in his direct troops.

As Voroshilov was suppressed by his boss Bubnov when he was in Ukraine, after arriving in Tsaritsyn, under the care and inspiration of Joseph, he resolutely stood on the side of his new club and boycotted Bubnov together. Burnov's infiltration and intervention in Southern Front forces.

At this moment, after lighting a pipe for Comrade Joseph, seeing that everyone in the conference room was still silent, and the atmosphere was quite strange and depressing, Voroshilov, the commander of the Tenth Army, finally couldn't help but stand up and say,

"Comrades, I think Comrade Joseph's words are thought-provoking. They all say that soldiers must defend their homes and the country. In my opinion, our Soviet Red Army is no exception. They can defend their homes and protect their homes. If the soldiers of the Southern Army even themselves Even if we can't defend our hometown, why are we still talking about He Weiguo?

It was already inappropriate for us to give up Belarus and Ukraine at the beginning. Now that everyone has managed to make a fortune in Tsaritsyn, is it possible to give up to the enemy?Even if we, the commanders, political commissars and division commanders of the group army agree, we also need to see whether the soldiers agree, whether the working class of Tsaritsin agree! "

After Voroshilov finished speaking, he waved his fist fiercely. These words obviously enlivened the atmosphere in the room. Nawin and political commissar Lyubimov nodded frequently, and Comrade Joseph looked at Voroshilov with admiration.

"Kliment Yefremovich is right. Moscow should never have agreed to give up Belarus, let alone Ukraine. The Bolshevik movement had already started vigorously. As a result, when we said we would withdraw, the grassroots The Soviets have all collapsed, and when the Fifth Army withdrew from Ukraine, the soldiers and villagers cried hoarsely!"

The person who spoke was Kliuyev, political commissar of the Tenth Army. He was a serious Kiev native and an old party member in the early days of the Bolsheviks.

"I also agree with Comrade Joseph and Comrade Voroshilov that the difficulties are temporary. The food provided to Moscow in the past six months alone in Tsaritsyn and the lower Volga region is enough to feed millions of people for a year. If we Abandon the south of Saratov, including Tsaritsyn, and retreat to the north, what will the soldiers eat? What about the folks here?"

The one who said this was Chernavin, the commander of the Eighth Army. Vladimir Nikolayevich Chernavin was also a Ukrainian. He was born in the city of Nikolayev, a port in southern Ukraine. Wang Geng was not famous in the Soviet Russian military history in his previous life.

However, his son Vladimir Nikolaevich Chernavin Jr. is quite famous. In Wang Geng's previous life, this little Vladimir who was born in 1928 later became the commander-in-chief of the Soviet Russian Navy. The Admiral of the Soviet Russian Navy in 1983 was the captain of the Soviet Navy who took the lead in the first submarine voyage to the North Pole, the general who most actively advocated the development of nuclear submarines, and the person who dared to "challenge" the then naval commander.

At the same time, he was the last commander of the Soviet Russian Navy and the earliest commander of the Commonwealth of Independent States Navy. Of course, in this time and space, at this moment in 1918, the little Vladimir had not yet been born, but Chernavin was the Southern Army He is also a fierce general who dares to speak out. Although he is not a direct descendant of Joseph, he and Voroshilov are regarded as fellow citizens of Ukraine, and they left their hometowns and came to the North Caucasus together. The relationship between the two has always been good.

"A mouthful of food is delicious, but a mouthful of words is hard to say. Now is not the time to discuss why Zhong Yang gave up Belarus and Ukraine. Now we are talking about the south of Saratov and Tsaritsyn. Now the Yegorov Army has also been destroyed. Can you hold the Volga River with the remaining eighth and twelfth armies?"

The central committee member Bubnov finally couldn't bear it, and ruthlessly stubbed out the cigarette butt in the ashtray, and said with a gloomy face.

"Joseph Vissarionovich, we must consider the relationship between Tsaritsyn and Moscow, the relationship between the Southern Front and the Supreme Revolutionary Military Council of Soviet Russia, even if we can hold Tsaritsyn and the south of Saratov , This is of course good, but if Moscow is lost, how much effect can we play by defending the southeast corner?" Bubnov then turned to Joseph.

Military Commissioner Joseph heard the words and said coldly,

"Andrei Sergeyevich, defending Moscow is not an inevitable obligation of the Southern Front Army. The Eastern Front Army is the main front army defending Moscow. The reason for this disastrous defeat in the Battle of Ufa is that the generals of the Eastern Front Army's Southern Group have an inescapable responsibility. Tukhachevsky bears the unshirkable responsibility!"

Bubnov was full of displeasure when he heard the words, and couldn't help saying,

"Joseph Vissarionovich, what Moscow is asking now is who will defend Moscow if it does not agree to the Ufa coalition's conditions for a truce and peace talks, instead of reviewing who should bear the responsibility for the defeat of the Ufa battle, let alone Didn't Yegorov's army also participate in the Ufa battle? What happened? They were encircled and wiped out by the enemy!"

As the two Soviet Russian Central Committee members refused to give in to each other and quarreled, the atmosphere in the conference room of the Southern Front suddenly became tense!
