"Pa Ba Sergin and Jo. Jo. Vatsitis are of course candidates for the new Volga Military District and the leaders of the Front Army. In fact, the opponent before us is completely different from the White Guards, and at the same time, we must also consider the question of responsibility for the complete defeat of the Ufa campaign raised in Tsaritsyn's telegram!"

The person who spoke was Sverdlov, the vice chairman of the Supreme Military Council, the People's Commissar of the Central Committee of the Soviet Union, and the secretary of the secretariat, but it was obviously Comrade Ulyanov's intention, which was inadvertently given by the chairman of the Central Committee. Sverdlov's eyes could see a clue.

"Speaking of the responsibility for the Battle of Ufa, Yakov Mikhainovich, it is obvious that the leadership of the Southern Group of the Eastern Front has an inescapable responsibility, but in short, the commander of the Southern Group Tukhachev Ski's responsibility is the first to bear the brunt. In the early stage of the Ufa battle, the Eastern Army's southern group was superior in terms of strength and firepower to the Ufa White Guards, but the battle was fought like that!"

Kamenev unceremoniously pointed the finger at Tukhachevsky. Although Lev Borisovich Kamenev put the interests of the motherland above personal advances and retreats, he did not care about Tukhachev. Kamenev did not intend to miss the opportunity to beat up the underdog for a young general of the Soviet Red Army who was so arrogant and ignorant of the heights of the sky and the earth.

"I have a different opinion on this point. Although Tukhachevsky had the disadvantage of underestimating the enemy in the early stage, the deployment of the Southern Group to attack Ufa before the war was also agreed by Moscow Zhongyang. The city of Ufa, Jamie Comrade Nev may not have seen it at all, the city is almost tightly surrounded by the Kamala River and the Belaya River to form a natural barrier, and the White Guards guarding the city have received a large number of heavy artillery reinforced by the coalition forces!"

Sverdlov is obviously also a very real guy. He not only has a little respect for a veteran central committee member like Kamenev, but also does not easily compromise with him. Besides, everyone knows that Kamenev After losing the trust of Comrade Ulyanov, Zinoviev gradually moved closer to Trotsky, and he was almost a follower of Trotsky's right-hand man.

"The defeat in the Battle of Ufa, Tukhachevsky naturally has his responsibility, but at least at this moment he is retreating and dealing with the enemy, he has not put down his arms and walked into the enemy's prisoner-of-war camp, Kamenev, please do not Waste precious time on getting into trouble, if Tukhachevsky can run back, I believe he will be the best candidate for the commander of the Volga Front!"

Ulyanov's words were earth-shattering, and all the central committee members present, including Trotsky, couldn't recover for a while after hearing it.

The chairman of the zhong yang committee turned his hands behind his back, stretched out a finger to draw a circle in the air, and said,

"The troops led by Tukhachevsky fought against the Ufa coalition forces for the longest time, and in such a critical situation, they fought the most resolutely, and they never put down their weapons. Don't forget, not only the commander of the First Army Tukhachev Sky has not yet been captured by the Ufa coalition forces, even the political commissar Yankov Gayi, who was surrounded in the swamp, has not put down his arms, and even Xia Boyang of the cavalry division and his political commissar Fumanov have not responded The enemy surrendered?!"

"Vladimir Ilyich was right. It was not Yegorov's Ninth Army of the Southern Front that was blown up by Joseph, but the First Army of Tukhachevsky of the Eastern Front that fought to the last moment. For this, we can’t make a conclusion and think that Tukhachevsky should bear the greatest responsibility for the defeat of the battle. Let me say that the strength of the Ufa Battle is not ours. "

The speaker was the editor-in-chief of "Pravda", Bukharin, the publicity commissar of the central yang committee. He came up with the idea of ​​a moth and became famous. At that time, Ulyanov insisted on agreeing to the harsh conditions proposed by the Germans and reaching a peace treaty.

But Bukharin claimed that he would never compromise with imperialism. Soviet Russia should fight to the end with imperialism all over the world. To fight the imperialists all over the world to the end, just like this, it has won the support of most members of the central yang committee.

"Nikolai Ivanovich, then what do you think is the reason for the defeat in the Battle of Ufa? Who should bear the greatest responsibility!" Kamenev and Bukharin pushed up the bulls!

"Does this need to be said? The first half of the Tsaritsyn telegram is very clear. The coalition's air superiority, troop superiority, firepower superiority, and logistical support advantage, these advantages caused our defeat in the Ufa battle!" Bukharin shook his head and refused to budge.

"It's nonsense. It's true that the Ufa coalition army has air superiority in the air, but from July 7th to today, the entire Ufa Great Plain has been raining continuously, and the wind is strong. The opponent's air team has not been able to dispatch at all, but Our 11-strong army was wiped out in just four days! The final victory of the coalition has nothing to do with the opponent's air superiority!" Kamenev is obviously not someone who is easily bluffed, and what he said has something to say.

"Furthermore, since when did the coalition forces have an advantage in strength? If the battle reports of the Ufa coalition forces are true, then in the first stage of the Ufa battle, our strength is at least twice that of the opponent's White Guards guarding Ufa. In the later period, the ground forces of the coalition officially appeared on the Ufa battlefield, and there was no precedent for the opponent to fight more and fight less. At best, the ground forces of the coalition had an advantage in firepower!" Kamenev said more and more vigorously.

Military is not Bukharin's strong point, philosophy, doctrine and the Bolshevik movement are the focus of this guy's research, Kamenev said for a while that he was a little tongue-tied and at a loss for words.

"Don't argue anymore. The biggest responsibility for the defeat of the Ufa Battle lies with Moscow, the Central Committee, and the Supreme Military Council. Everyone here is responsible. Of course, I, the chairman of the Central Committee, cannot shirk the responsibility, Lev Davidovich, you All-Russia Supreme Revolutionary Military Council is responsible for commanding the Soviet Red Army throughout Russia, can you say that you and Sverdlov are not responsible? The other members of the Military Council are not responsible?"

Ulyanov obviously didn't want to waste time and energy on the issue of responsibilities, so he took all the responsibilities with a wave of his hand. Trotsky had no choice but to nod, admitting that the Supreme Revolutionary Military Council made mistakes in underestimating the difficulties and the enemy's situation when reviewing the following combat plan, and that leadership responsibilities could not be escaped.

Since even Ulyanov and Trotsky took advantage of this opportunity to conduct self-reflection, what else can the other central committee members say? Apart from self-criticism and sharing responsibility for the leaders, other topics about the accountability of the Ufa Battle have been revealed. I don't mention it.

In fact, in terms of responsibility, every commander of the front-line army is responsible. The problem is that, except for Tukhachevsky, all other commanders at the first level of the army have entered the prisoner-of-war camp of the Ufa coalition army. It doesn't help to push all the responsibilities to the past, and it also bears the name of adding insult to injury.

At this time, Dzerzhinsky, who personally watched the radio station in the telecommunication room and finished sending a telegram to the Ufa Allied Forces Command, opened the door and returned to the large conference room with a draft of the telegram in his hand, sweating all over his forehead. The voice is a bit strange,

"We haven't sent our call back just now, but we have received a new telegram from the other party!"

As soon as Dzerzhinsky's words came out, the committee members of the Russian Central Committee in the room couldn't help but stood up one after another in shock, and Bukharin, who was usually surprised and bluffed, said in a trembling voice, "The other party What did you say? Did you raise any new conditions? I said, the slower we respond from time to time, the more opportunities the enemy will take to raise the price.”

"Don't make noise, pay attention to your image. Anyway, you are still a member of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China. You are as restless as a kindergarten child. Dzerzhinsky, what did the new telegram from the Ufa coalition say? Forget it, let me see it myself !"

The chairman of the Central Yang Committee of Soviet Russia was obviously very dissatisfied with the panic caused by the new telegram of the Ufa coalition army to his central committee members. He rushed up and grabbed the telegram from the clumsy Dzerzhinsky. Look up!

"This is really a ghost. The commander of the Ufa coalition army thought who he was, and he really started to dictate the affairs of our side. It is simply too deceiving!" Ulyanovs Ki slapped the telegram on the conference table, and walked around the huge conference room with his back pinched and his hands clasped, obviously annoyed by the new telegram from the Ufa coalition forces.

Bukharin had a quick eye, picked up the telegram draft that was photographed on the conference table, moved it to the light and read:

Wang Geng, Commander-in-Chief of the Ufa-French Allied Forces, to Ulyanov, Chairman of the Central Committee of the Soviet Union, Trotsky, Sverdlov, and all members of the Central Committee of the Soviet Union:

In order to prevent you from repeating the serious anti-humanity, human rights, and humanity mistakes you made in dealing with the family members of Ekh and Rzhevski, on behalf of the Ufa coalition forces of the Allied Powers, I formally announce to you that all Ufa campaigns The soldiers of the Soviet Red Army who were captured by the coalition forces on the right bank of the Volga River, from the commander of the group army to the ordinary soldiers, in view of the fact that they are an inseparable part of the Russian people, these former Soviet Red Army soldiers who are currently entering the prisoner-of-war camps are all subject to Ufa coalition forces Protection, their lives and property are protected by the Allied Forces.
