Beiyang 1917

1918年7月14ri21：30莫斯科克里姆林宫

The chairman of the Central Yang Committee of the Soviet Union kicked the ball at the feet of Trotsky, the chairman of the Supreme Revolutionary Military Council. His attitude was not insincere. Obviously, Trotsky was on par with Uriano on the issue of adjusting Comrade Joseph's position. Husband and husband sang an oboe together, and on the issue of prisoners of war, the two sides finally reached a compromise.starter

So now, the candidates for the proposed Volga Military Region and the Volga Front Army have become the focus of attention of various factions in the Central Yang Committee. In Ulyanov's view, the first to be controlled by others, and the second to control others. Trotsky was originally the chairman of the Supreme Military Council, which focuses on the military. It is a safer way for him to propose candidates first, and then carefully consider the balance himself.

When Ulyanov said this, Trotsky fell silent, but the eyes of Sverdlov and Kamenev lit up.

Sverdlov is not only the people's commissar of the Central Committee of the Soviet Union, but also the vice chairman of the Supreme Military Council. The last time this guy took over as the commander of the Southern Group, he ran for nothing. It stands to reason that Sverdlov will lead the establishment of the The Volga River Military District and Front Army are the best candidates.

Although the discussion is about the leadership of the Volga River Military Region and the Front Army, all the central committee members present here know that if this candidate is not impeccable in all aspects, it will be discovered that Comrade Joseph, who was lured back to Moscow, went berserk The possibilities are quite large, and it is necessary to choose a candidate who can at least make Joseph dumb and eat Coptis chinensis and can't compete with him.

If it is based on the standpoint that the Tsaritsin side and Comrade Joseph have nothing to say, the qualifications and prestige of the commander of the Eastern Front, Vatzetis, and the Southern Front, Sergin, are not enough, and Vatzetis is better. , at least he has become an alternate member of the Central Committee of the Soviet Union, while Segin's qualifications are far behind, and both of them are military experts who were former Tsarist Russian generals.

The Supreme Military Council of Soviet Russia, chaired by Trotsky, was established on March 1918, 3. In Wang Geng’s previous life, this Soviet Russian military command was not replaced until September 4, 1918 by the newly established Soviet Revolutionary Military Council. Prior to this, the local military regions and front armies had established their own revolutionary military committees. \\\\

Under normal circumstances, the revolutionary military committee of a front army will consist of a commander and at least two revolutionary military committee members to form the top leadership of the front army. All important orders must be signed by the military chief and members of the revolutionary military committee to take effect.

Joachim Joakimovich Vatzedis was born in Latvia in 1873. He was born in a serious class in the Tsarist Russian military academy. He commanded a Latvian infantry division on the Eastern Front during the European War.

The infantry division commanded by Vatzetis was the only organized unit of the Soviet Red Army retained from the old Russian army. Latvian farm workers, workers, and poor peasants hated the nobles along the Baltic Sea.

The tsar used their social hatred to fight against Germany, so the Latvian infantry regiment was the most elite unit in the tsarist army. After the February Revolution in 1917, almost all Latvian infantry divisions were Bolshevikized. This division under the command of Dies played a major role.

In Trotsky's view, Vatsitis was smart, capable, active, and resourceful. He showed his talents in smashing the riots of the Left Socialist Revolutionary Party. On the opposite side of the Ministry, it only took two or three straight shots—for deterrence rather than killing—the mob was scared and ran away.

The first commander of the Eastern Front, the leftist revolutionary Muravyov, who was called an adventurer by Trotsky, failed in the mutiny on the Eastern Front, Vatzedis succeeded him as the commander of the Eastern Front.

Unlike other former officers who came from Tsarist Russian military academies, Vatsitis did not panic in the whirlpool of the revolution. Even in difficult situations, he worked hard vigorously.He constantly called, encouraged, and gave orders, and even gave orders when there was no hope of completing the order. In Trotsky's view, Vatsitis was a model of youth and strength after the old soldier switched to the Bolshevik camp.

In just one and a half years after being joined by the Bolsheviks, by virtue of the feats established in the February Revolution and the October Revolution, and by virtue of the contribution to dispersing the Constituent Assembly and suppressing the riots of the Left Socialist Revolutionaries in the bloody incident in January this year, 3 In September, Vatsitis was elected as an alternate member of the Central Committee of the Soviet Union. This is the highest position held so far in the party among the Red Army generals who were former soldiers of Tsarist Russia.

Trotsky admired and appreciated the talent of Vatsitis, and never doubted this guy's loyalty to the Soviet and the Bolshevik Party. Afraid of exceeding his authority, Vatsitis was the opposite. He issued a decree on a whim, forgetting the existence of the People's Committee and the All-Russian Central Committee.

In Wang Geng’s previous life, it was not until about a year later that Vatsitis was accused of ulterior motives and complicated relationships. Trotsky had to replace him under pressure from the Soviet Union, but after these allegations There is no important criminal evidence in the book. Vatsitis also died in the purges carried out by Joseph in 1938 in his previous life.

Without the failure of the Southern Group of the Eastern Front in the Battle of Ufa, for Trotsky, the alternate member of the Central Committee of the Soviet Union and the commander of the Eastern Front, Joachim Joakimovich Vatsitis, would be in charge. The No.1 choice of the Volga Military District and Front Army.

However, the main force of the Middle East Front in the Battle of Ufa lost four-fifths, while the strength retained by the Southern Front at this moment was twice that of the Eastern Front. In addition to the three consecutive victories in defending the Battle of Tsaritsyn, the Southern Front built by Joseph was more powerful. Forces and their demands must be satisfied to a certain extent in order to move things forward.

Especially when Zhong Yang is going to adjust the leadership team of Tsaritsyn and transfer Joseph back to Moscow to arrange other work. At this time, the commander of the Eastern Front Army, Vatsitis, will command and integrate the two front armies of the Eastern Front Army and the Southern Front Army. The main force, the New Volga Military Region and the Front Army, obviously could not convince the masses.

What's more, Vatsitis, as the commander of the Eastern Front, seems to be more than defensive but not aggressive enough. He has been firmly suppressed by Kolchak who is entrenched in Kazan, unable to launch an offensive and make progress. Erchak is the nemesis of Vatsitis's hit?

Trotsky was silent for a while, and was a little embarrassed for a while. It is said that if Vatsitis is in charge of the Volga River Military Region and the Volga River Front Army and cannot convince the crowd, there will be no suitable candidates in the following Front Army and Army Group, and he can only choose from the central government. Since Joseph has been excluded from the Central Committee of the Soviet Union, the remaining Bubnov is obviously even worse.

The commanders of the two army groups Voroshilov and Chernavin in the Southern Front would never accept Bubnov, a Ukrainian madman, to lead them again.

Then the remaining candidates are only Sverdlov and himself, and as the chairman of the All-Russian Supreme Military Council and the military commander of the Red Army, it is obviously inappropriate for him to delegate himself to lead a front army and military region, although the Volga River military region and the front army will become Defend the Soviet Great Wall of Steel for some time to come, but obviously he cannot leave Moscow and Zhongyang easily.

It seems that Comrade Ulyanov has already seen this. Besides Comrade Sverdlov, who else is more suitable?

Sverdlov is only 33 years old, but he has served as a member of the Central Committee since 1912. In fact, he went to the October Revolution last year, when Ulyanov was imprisoned by the temporary governor Kerensky After being wanted, he lived in seclusion.

It was Trotsky and Sverdlov who actually prepared and organized the October Revolution in the early stage, so Sverdlov is familiar with the military and is justified under Trotsky Deputy Military Commander.

Moreover, Sverdlov has won the trust of Comrade Ulyanov. Obviously, at this moment, this guy is the best candidate sent by the central government to lead the Volga Military Region and Front Army.

"I propose to send Comrade Yakov Mikhainovich to form and take charge of the Volga Military District and the Front Army, with Vatsitis and Sergin as his deputies, and Voroshilov and Chernavin as his deputies. Military Commissar of the Revolutionary Military Council of the Front Army"

Trotsky, chairman of the Supreme Military Council, finally put forward his own plan.

Ulyanov nodded with a smile when he heard the words, and turned his attention to Sverdlov who was ordered. Here, Sverdlov is a little star shining brightly. Obviously, he is going to When the firefighters of the southern group failed, the prospect of being able to control the two front armies with one hand made the guy who ranked third in the central committee feel excited.

"Yakov Mikhainovich is of course the best candidate, but he is the vice-chairman of the Supreme Military Council, and he is usually in charge of the entire army as Comrade Trotsky's assistant in Zhongyang, and he is also a member of the People's Committee The organization of people's commissars, party affairs, organization and personnel management work is also quite heavy, under such circumstances, will Comrade Sverdlov be able to walk away?"

Kamenev finally couldn't help it, and before Trotsky proposed a plan, and Comrade Ulyanov hadn't made a formal decision, this guy jumped out to express different views.
