Beiyang 1917

July 1918, 7 Ufa Allied Forces Headquarters

The news of the victory in the Battle of Ufa caused congratulatory telegrams from all over the world to fly to Ufa like snowflakes. Of course, there were almost no congratulatory messages for the establishment of the Volga Federation. victory.

The capital of the newly established Volga Federation was chosen in Samara instead of Ufa. The reason is very simple. Ufa can be described as a peaceful corner. At this moment, it is the rear, too far away from Samara and Saratov, let alone Speaking of Tsaritsyn, moreover, the main residents of Ufa and the Ufa Great Plain are the Bashkirs, and the ethnic policy of the Volga Federation obviously, as always, upholds the equality of all ethnic groups advocated by the King of China.

In the political structure designed by Wang Geng, the rights and obligations enjoyed by all ethnic groups within the same regime are consistent. They enjoy these rights because they are citizens of the country, and there is no difference between their ethnicity and skin color. Of course, in This is how the official policies and documents are propagandized and implemented. As for the government officials, the army, and the common people, there is an unfathomable distance between the people who really want to achieve world harmony and national unity. Way to go.

The capital of the Volga Federation is located in Samara. In addition to geographical location and ethnic issues, it more importantly reflects a kind of enterprising spirit. Since it is the Volga Federation, the upstream must go to the North Sea, and the downstream will get the Caspian Sea. The imagination space of this book is left to those who want to figure it out for themselves.

The newly established Volga Federation was initially installed by Wang Geng in the following autonomous republics and states: Bashkir Autonomous Republic, Orenburg Oblast, Samara Oblast, Saratov Oblast, Ural Oblast, Tsaritsyn special area

1. The Bashkir Autonomous Republic, with its capital in Ufa, covers an area of ​​14.36 square kilometers. According to statistics during the evacuation of the Ufa Battle, the total population is about 150 million, of which Bashkirs account for 60%, and Tatars account for about 20% %, about 15% are Russians, and the remaining 5% are other ethnic minorities. The territory of the Bashkir Autonomous Republic basically covers the entire Ufa Plain.

For Wang Geng, whether it should be called Ufa Prefecture or Bashkir Prefecture, or the Bashkir Autonomous Republic like in Wang Geng’s previous life, made the commander-in-chief of the coalition hesitate for a while, and in the end it was Utsunomiya Taro’s words that made Wang Geng It was decided to call it the Bashkir Autonomous Republic.

Army General Taro Utsunomiya, deputy chief of staff of the coalition forces and commander of the Japanese army, whispered to Wang Geng, "In the future, we may have to bring over Poland, Finland, Ukraine, Belarus, and Georgia in the south. Called Ukrainian State and Belarusian State? I think it’s good to call it an autonomous republic, a federal federation, and how many countries it governs. Sounds like a boost! Your Excellency Commander-in-Chief!”

The Battle of Ufa destroyed the main force of the Soviet Red Army like a catastrophe, and made the commander of the Japanese army in the coalition army very confident and self-inflated. He just thought that there are so many rich lands in the west and south waiting for him to conquer Of course, he followed the King of China and led the allied forces to conquer. Utsunomiya Taro couldn't sleep at night, and he was so excited that he could change several maids to warm the quilt all night.

2. Orenburg State is located at the southern foot of the Ural Mountains, on the banks of the Ural River, which flows from east to west, and is adjacent to the Alash Autonomous Republic on the Kazakh steppe in the south.The area is 12.4 square kilometers, the population is about 30, and the capital is Orenburg. <) The city was built as early as 1743.It is a strategic center for Tsarist Russia to control Central Asia and Siberia, and it was also the base where Imperial Russia sent new imams to win over the khanates in Central Asia.At the same time, it was also the starting point for the Tsarist Russian Empire to conquer Kazakhstan. {hand type}{}{.{}{}

After the October Revolution last year, Orenburg was originally owned by the Alash Autonomous Republic on the Kazakh steppe in the south, but the Alash Autonomous Republic was in power by the bourgeois temporary government, and Orenburg was first overthrown by the Bolsheviks The local municipal government established the Orenburg Soviet, and then it was occupied for a while by the Petrovich Cavalry Division who were still hanging around under Kolchak.

After that, the troops of the Fourth Army of the Eastern Front of the Soviet Red Army, Rzhevsky, chased away Petrovich’s Cossack cavalry like rabbits, and Orenburg fell into the hands of Soviet Russia again. Later, the main force of the Fourth Army Going north to participate in the Battle of Ufa, Orenburg was conquered by Li Mingzhong, the Ufa coalition army who went south to fight in a roundabout way. <ь), Samara is located in the southeast of the Eastern European Plain, and the Volga River flows in the west.It has an area of ​​5.36 square kilometers and a population of 100 million.The capital, Samara, is located on the banks of the Volga River, across from Syzran on the opposite bank.

The main body of Samara Region is the capital city of Samara (cama? 0? 7pa, Russian Latin alphabet spelling: samara, English: samara), this place was called Kuibyshev (ky ?1935?1991n0ыweв), Samara was founded in 7.Also in Wang Geng's previous life, he was the accompanying capital of Soviet Russia from 6 to 1586 during World War II.

At this moment in 1918, the two major reservoir areas of Saratov and Samara had not yet been completed.

The railway connecting Syzran to Samara, due to the European War, the railway bridge on the Volga River has not yet been completed, so it needs to be ferryed across the river. Will stop, the huge dependence of purely mechanized armored forces on fuel and logistics is a headache, the Volga River saved the life of Syzran on the other side!

Samara established a local fortress in 1586, and by the 17th century it had become an important trade center along the Volga River.

After the railway was laid in Syzran on the opposite bank at the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century, Syzran-Samara became a distribution center for grain on the left bank of the Volga River, timber in the upper reaches and Caucasus oil, and developed into a large commercial city, as well as flour industry and metal industry. Processing industry center.

For Pepelyaev's Volga Federal Autonomous Government, the most urgent task in terms of construction is to repair the unfinished Volga River Railway Bridge west of Samara as soon as possible. Of course, there is no shortage of labor. Allied prisoners of war Nearly 12 prisoners of war who had enough food, drink, sleep, and unwounded soldiers in the camp were waiting to work as coolies for the Volga Federation!

Since the Trans-Siberian Railway from Kamala on the Kama River to Kazan is in the all-Russian temporary government-controlled area of ​​​​Kolchak, this makes the lack of a direct railway connection between the Soviet Russian government and the Volga Federation, Samar After Lari, there are railway hubs leading to Moscow, Ufa, Orenburg and Urals, but at this moment, the Volga River Railway Bridge connecting Syzran and Samara has not been completed, so there is nothing to talk about. <ь), located in the southeast of the Eastern European Plain, bordering the Urals in the southeast.It covers an area of ​​10.02 square kilometers and has a population of about 120 million.

Finally, the Allied Forces Sun Liangcheng under the banner of the Alash Autonomous Republic Conquered here in one fell swoop.

Of course, at the moment, Uralsk State and Uralsk have all become part of the Volga Federation. If the Kazakh grasslands were not too large and Wang Geng couldn’t spare his hands at the moment, the precarious Arash Autonomous Republic would have been destroyed long ago.
