1918年7月21ri14：00萨马拉联军司令部

For the senior generals of the former Soviet Red Army, Slavin and Yegorov, they never expected that they would be able to reunite with their families at noon after they had just decided to stay in the Volga Federation in the morning, and at 2 o'clock in the afternoon , In the lounge next to the large conference room, the orderlies temporarily dispatched by the Allied Forces Command presented the ten former Soviet Russian senior generals with brand-new and straight Volga Federal Army uniforms.

"Your Excellency Slavin, this is your military uniform. Do you want me to help you put it on? The military uniforms were all rushed out in the past two days, and the sizes were all made according to your own figures in the prisoner-of-war camp. , try to see if it fits you well?" A young Russian second lieutenant from the Federation said to Slavin with a smile in his hand, the second lieutenant was holding a set of military uniform, armed with belts and riding boots.

Several other Soviet generals nearby realized that they were still wearing the uniforms of the Soviet Red Army, but without collar badges, and their old faces blushed. Fortunately, the second lieutenant in front of Slavin was not the only one entering the lounge one after another. Several other soldiers who also wore the new federal uniforms with the rank of second lieutenant also held the new uniforms in their hands and found their corresponding generals.

Didn’t the large lounge start a burst of exclamation, Yegorov thought to himself, Nima, we only nodded in the morning. The Volga Federation has measured the size two days ago to make a new military uniform. Obviously, it’s decided. We will not change our minds and go back to Soviet Russia, nor do we really mean to disarm and return to the fields. Thinking of this, Yegorov's old face blushed, and he lowered his head to look at the second lieutenant in front of him. uniform.

Then the fellow opened his eyes wide, looking at the epaulets and collar patches on the military uniform, couldn't believe his eyes, rubbed his eyes and looked again, and then couldn't help but asked in a trembling voice, "Comrade Second Lieutenant, are you sure, this is for me uniform?"

It turned out that Wang Geng's design of the Volga Federation's military rank logo borrowed from the luxurious style of the former Tsarist Russian army. Yegorov saw at a glance that the collar and epaulettes in front of him were a little different from the Tsarist Russian era, but the two beautiful gold thread embroidered The made black double-headed eagle is still clearly visible. I really planned to be a regimental commander or something from scratch, but the double-headed eagle used to have a military rank symbol that only Tsarist Russian generals have, and it is still a navy military rank symbol!

"Are you Your Excellency Alexander Ilyich Yegorov? Your Excellency Lieutenant General, this is your military uniform. Look, there are two double-headed eagles. Congratulations, Your Excellency Lieutenant General!" After uniforming, he was in a good mood and said to Yegorov with a smile.

He actually became a lieutenant general?Yegorov couldn't believe his eyes, and the other Slavin and Rzhevsky, who got the military uniforms, also shouted in surprise. Everyone got together and made gestures, and now it's clear, The military uniforms in the hands of Slavin, Rzhevsky, Yegorov and Stepin are the lieutenant general uniforms of the two double-headed eagles, while others such as Eich, Blumberg, Hevshin and Garrett The military uniforms of Yi and the others are all major general uniforms with a black double-headed eagle. (.)

Now in the conference room, everyone was surprised and delighted. The commander-in-chief of the coalition forces didn't say the specific job arrangement in the morning. Looking at it like this, it's possible to be a division commander or an army commander!Rzhevsky was the first to put on a full military uniform, and while struggling to put on his boots with the help of his Russian second lieutenant, he shouted,

"I didn't expect that we would be able to be generals again, at least able to command a division? I said, old fellows, everyone should keep your spirits up. I think the commander-in-chief of the coalition forces is a master who is willing to spend money!"

Several other people also looked happy, especially Stepin. People like Slavin, Lezhevsky and Yegorov were the commanders of the Soviet Russian Red Army before they were captured. The lieutenant general is justified, why is he, the chief of staff of the group army, also among the lieutenant generals?This made Stepin's heart fluctuate for a while, and he didn't know where he met the commander-in-chief of the coalition forces.

On the side, Eh buttoned up the major general's uniform, and said sourly, "Brother Stepin, your Southern Front Army has only two lieutenant generals from the Volga Federation in one army, and I, the chief of staff of the Fifth Army, only has a major general. , I have to ask you to support me a lot in the future!"

Stepin was only a lieutenant colonel in the Tsarist Russian army, how could he dare to make himself big in front of Ehe, who had been the commander of the Tsarist Russian division? Could it be that the coalition forces have made a mistake!"

A few young Russian second lieutenants beside him smiled in whispers, and said boldly, "Your Excellency Lieutenant General Stepin, this is not wrong, we will ask you to support us a little bit more in the future!"

A few ex-Soviet Russian generals, the newly released lieutenant generals and major generals of the Volga Federation, after putting on brand new military uniforms, the spirit of the whole person is really different, although I don’t understand how the coalition forces put the navy The double-headed eagle logo is used on the army's rank, but who cares, it would be even more inappropriate if it is exactly the same as Kolchak's. Besides, the double-headed eagle is more eye-catching than the gold thread and se blocks on the previous army rank logo many.

In fact, although the epaulettes are the double-headed eagle logo, the collar badges are still the same as the military ranks of Tsarist Russia. It is estimated that the size of the collar badges is small, and it is not appropriate to embroider such a large pattern.

Soon, the combat staff officer of the coalition headquarters came into the meeting room and asked everyone to go out to participate in the awarding ceremony. It turned out that today was the awarding and appointment ceremony for the chief officers of the eight army groups of the Volga Federal Army after the army was reorganized, although everyone still killed them a week ago. It's life and death, but at this moment, it is obvious that they will be able to greet each other in Russian soon, and Pepelyaev and Barayanov are still polite to Slavin and Yegorov.

However, several new commanders of the cavalry army, including Nerikov and Petrovich, the two new army commanders, were a little indifferent to the former Soviet Russian generals and the lieutenant generals and major generals who had just joined the prisoner camp. Look, if it weren't for the face of Commander-in-Chief Wang Geng, maybe the two sides would start a fight with cynicism and let the other party occupy the positions of commanders of the four army groups at once, which made Nerikov and Petrovich a little angry uneven.

Before the military conference, Wang Geng, who also served as the commander-in-chief of the Volga Federal Armed Forces, first announced the appointment of each group army after the reorganization of the army. This time, four Slavin and Yegorov who had just put on the uniform of the federal army lieutenant general We were completely overwhelmed, Nima, this is too big!Being awarded the title of lieutenant general does not count, but he is also the commander of the group army!

Slavin, Rzhevsky, and Egorov looked at each other, with no other distracting thoughts in their hearts except the idea of ​​dying for their confidants, while Stepin's eyes were filled with enthusiasm from the impact of great happiness.

In his capacity as commander-in-chief of the Volga Federation Armed Forces, Wang Geng announced the following awards and appointments:

In addition to the four reused army commanders and lieutenant generals, Slavin, Lezhevsky, Yegorov and Stepin, the rest of Eich, Blyumberg and Knyagnitsky Four major generals, including , Heweixin, served as the chief of staff of the group army.

As for Kayi and Kharchenko, because Ma Xin voluntarily was repatriated to Soviet Russia, and Tukhachevsky broke through and ran away, the two major generals who were former Bolshevik political commissars did not directly lead troops, but He served as the deputy commander of the Federal National Guard, responsible for the organization and construction of the militia within the Federation, and Kharchenko was appointed as the commander of the Volga Fleet, responsible for preparing for the establishment of the Volga Federation's water army.

After the lively and exciting appointment and award ceremony, all the commanders of the Volga Federation's army group and the commanders of the four cavalry corps stayed to participate in the military meeting. Not even a division head stepped into the conference room. In addition to all the deputy commanders of the coalition chiefs of staff, Major General Huang Jingbo, the commander of the coalition air force, also appeared in front of everyone for the first time.
