Beiyang 1917

1918年7月14ri21：15乌法协约国联军司令部

"Your Excellency, Commander-in-Chief, please forgive me. I came here overnight from Kazan just to discuss with you the issue of the Allied Army's plan to cease fighting with the Soviet Red Army. If this matter is not resolved, how can I sleep well? Of course , The brilliant victory of the coalition forces in the Battle of Ufa also keeps me awake at night with excitement!"

The Supreme Consul of the All-Russian Temporary Zheng Fu bowed and saluted the young commander-in-chief of the coalition forces, while reaching out his hand and tightly grasping Wang Geng's hand, his face was full of anxiety, excitement and uneasiness.

"Hey, Alexander Vasilyevich, it has been said that the coalition forces and your free Russia are one of the closest partners on this land, and the cooperation between us has been fully achieved in the execution of the Ufa Battle Regarding the coalition forces’ plan to negotiate an armistice with Moscow, didn’t I already communicate with you in the telegram this afternoon?”

Wang Geng smiled and took out his hand to pat Kolchak's shoulder, helped him back to the chair and sat down, and pushed his cigar case over from the coffee table. It was given by Yayev. It is made of pure gold. It is embossed with stories from Greek mythology. It is inlaid with a bunch of colorful gemstones. It can be seen that the workmanship seems to be of Arab style. It is estimated that it may not have been used to hold cigars in the early days. of.

"Oh, that's the case, but when you say you want to negotiate peace with the Soviet Red Army, my head will be blown by the people below me in Kazan. You know, not only the officers below me, but also the officers below me. My own hometown is on the opposite side of the Volga River. If this is really a borderline rule, wouldn’t those who followed me never have the chance to return to their hometown? The morale of the army is in turmoil now, my Excellency the Commander-in-Chief!”

Kolchak smiled wryly, and shook his hands in a hurry. Obviously, the news that the coalition forces were going to cease war with the Soviet Union made Kolchak and his troops, who were gearing up for a big fight in Kazan, feel a little confused, so this When the servant received Wang Geng's telegram, he rushed over immediately. The Chinese king said that he communicated with himself in the telegram in the afternoon, but in fact, he just understated his intention to withdraw troops and talk about peace.

Wang Geng, the commander-in-chief of the Allied Forces in front of him, is not yet 24 years old, but he is a man of this era who attracts the attention of the whole world. Ren has become the uncrowned king who can influence the entire situation in Asia, and he also has huge connections and supporters in the United States.

And the whole world thanks to the penicillin developed by Wang Geng's research and development center in the United States, and countless people survived the Spanish flu. Of course, this King of China is also a murderer who does not blink in front of his enemies. The Chinese army and military police under his single-handed control were more ruthless in killing his own people who violated military discipline than against the enemy. Moreover, wherever the Chinese army and later coalition forces went, they had bread in one hand and butcher knives in the other.

Whether it was in the Far East earlier or later in Lake Baikal, West Siberia, and west of the Ural Mountains, in the face of the food offensive and strict military discipline of the coalition forces, all local people and guerrillas who still dared to misbehave, resist, or attack the squadrons and coalition forces team, rebels.

Basically, it is shoot-to-kill. In the words of the king of China, there is no reason to talk to unreasonable people. Whoever dares to shoot me and my people first will shoot me and my people a second time. You have to fire the third and fourth shots, and you have to hit until you are completely convinced!

Strictly speaking, Alexander Vasilyevich Kolchak is not a mature politician. He is more like a lord who is promoted by his subordinates and wears a yellow robe. Disappointed by the incompetence and chaos of the temporary government composed of elements, he elected Admiral Kolchak, who was well-known in the army and at home, as his military leader.

Kolchak's all-Russian interim government can be said to be a loose alliance with the generals of the White Guards of Tsarist Russia at the core, which includes all Russians who oppose the Soviet regime and doctrine. In fact, the White Guards of the Don River and the North Caucasus Although Snowov, Denikin, and later Wrangel recognized and accepted the leadership of Kolchak and his all-Russian interim government in name, they were actually just local separatist forces fighting on their own.

"Alexander Vasilyevich, as you know, the Soviet Red Army invested nearly 30 troops in the Battle of Ufa, while the coalition forces invested about 25 troops successively. Satisfactory results have been achieved, but it is also an objective fact that the coalition forces participating in the war have been exhausted during the eight consecutive days of battle!"

The logistical support and ammunition supplies of the coalition forces have reached their unsustainable limit. The heavy rain for nearly a week has washed away the roads, and captured nearly 20 Soviet Red Army prisoners of war. This makes us gather troops to appease and take care The prisoners of war are very hard, let alone continue to fight! "Wang Geng frowned and said patiently why he planned to cease the war with Moscow.

"Your Excellency the Supreme Consul, what our commander-in-chief said is correct. Just think about it. In the short term, our logistics transportation and supplies and ammunition to support the 25 troops of the coalition forces have already been stretched. Now there are nearly 20 more Soviet Russians The mouth of a prisoner of war.

The food shortage on the front line in Ufa was such that each coalition soldier could only be allocated 800 grams of bread a day, and the prisoners of war could only be allocated 600 grams of bread!If you don’t believe me, ask Pepe, how can this battle continue? "Utsunomiya Taro, deputy chief of staff of the coalition forces, continued with a smile.

On the side, Pepelyayev blushed. In order to ensure the food supply of the troops on the front line and the prisoner-of-war camps, his Ufa Second Army, who stayed in Ufa, tightened its belt for the past few days. Rations of vegetables, beans, non-staple foods, sugar and chocolate all fell.

The sallow and emaciated Russian troops of the White Guard who were starved during the Great Famine in Russia before were nourished by the logistics supply standards of the coalition forces. It has been a good day for a few days. The food and ration standards have dropped slightly in the past few days, and morale has been affected immediately. Influenced, Pepelyaev has nothing to do.

The Russian White Guards in the allied forces, especially the infantry divisions, are far worse in organization and discipline than the Chinese and Japanese troops in the allied forces at the moment. They are basically a group of brave mobs. If the situation improves, if the Ufa campaign continues, all aspects will indeed be under great pressure.

However, the high standards of food and logistics provided by the coalition force objectively made every Russian unit included in the command structure of the coalition army, whether it was the Cossack cavalry division or the White Guard infantry division, including the Ufa volunteer division, in fact quickly integrated into it. After entering the big family of the Allied Forces, the Allied Forces is like a large multinational monopoly enterprise, which has attracted these Russian troops who have stepped into this circle with generous treatment and a good environment and cannot easily extricate themselves.

Just thinking about losing the supply of meat, sugar, coffee, tea and chocolate can drive the White Guard soldiers crazy. The Russian troops who have just got rid of the threat of starvation are now loyal to the coalition forces beyond any beliefs and doctrines.

If it was the Red Army of the Soviet Union, I am afraid that their food would not be as ugly as the White Guards. After all, they have Bolshevism and political commissars on the side, but for the White Guards who have lost their backbone and lost their homes, reality is more important than any ideals. , eat enough and eat well, on the land of Russia in 1918, nothing could win the support of soldiers more than these.

"Your Excellency, Commander-in-Chief, you said in your telegram that you intend to use the Volga River as the boundary to negotiate a truce with the Bolsheviks. How can this work? Even if your coalition forces need to rest now, then you can rest for a while. My team can start from the direction of Kazan." Go out and go straight to Moscow, how can you miss this great opportunity, and instead want to stop the war and draw a line!"

Kolchak looked anxiously at Wang Geng and said that the elite White Guard troops under his command had almost 18 people, and with the support and supplies of the Allied forces, they gathered from all over Russia to Kazan to join Kolchak The number of former Tsarist Russian demobilized soldiers is also increasing day by day. Kolchak believes that he can continue to take advantage of the victory of the Allied forces in the Battle of Ufa to drive the Bolsheviks out of Moscow and into the Baltic Sea in one go!

"Alexander Vasilyevich, of course I understand your feelings, but Russia's land is so vast and vast, and the natural environment in winter is so cruel. With your strength alone, you can add the land of the Don River and the North Caucasus. Snowov and Denikin, do you think the Bolsheviks can be wiped out before winter comes?" Wang Geng asked while lighting a cigar.

"I have full confidence in this. In the Battle of Ufa, you and your coalition forces wiped out the main force of the Soviet Russian Eastern Front. The remaining enemies on the other side of the Volga River are less than 20, and they are not elite troops. I led [-] White Guards from Kazan advances westward along the railway line, and it will take less than a month to hit the city of Moscow!

Maybe Petersburg can be taken down before winter comes. Now is the time when the Bolsheviks have suffered heavy losses and are the weakest. We must not let the tiger go back to the mountain!Your Excellency the Commander-in-Chief! Kolchak patted his chest confidently while wiping his sweat with a handkerchief.
