Beiyang 1917

Denikin seemed to be persuading Krasnov earnestly, but the look on his face contained a hint of ridicule and indescribable calm confidence, which was obviously very different from the one he entered Krasnov's mansion alone last night. . .

"Find me a job at the Allied Forces Command? I said Anton Ivanovich, why don't we shut ourselves up and be the masters of the Don River and the North Caucasus? Baba, go north to work for the Allied Forces? There are so many talented people over there, how can we talk? Tell me, what errands can the Allied Forces arrange for us? I want to hear it!" Krasnov held back the anger in his heart, and put down the knife and fork in his hand , while wiping his mouth with a napkin, said.

"This, we can discuss it again. I guess it's not a big problem with the deputy commander or the deputy chief of staff. Didn't Pepelyaev also serve as the deputy chief of staff? If we get some credit after we go there, maybe we will be confused A deputy commander of the armed forces is okay?" Denikin took out a cigar, lit it, and said casually.

"Anton Ivanovic, the Allied Forces of the Allied Powers is the place where the king of China can block the sky with his hands. If we go there to hang out at our age, it's not as good as us. It's better to be the masters of our own one-acre three-point land. , or, let the Allied Forces agree to us, let me be the head of the Volga Federation, and you replace Pepelyaev as the cabinet minister of the Volga Federation, if they agree, then I will do it with them!" Krasno Husband Lion opened his mouth and said.

Denikin was furious when he heard the words, and thought to himself, are you entertaining me?I'm talking to you seriously about the future of this three-acre land, and you've worked so hard on it. Not only do you not appreciate it, but you even say that you are the head of the Volga Federation. Don't you look at your own fat-brained virtue? When the capital of the Don and the North Caucasus republics is not worthy at all!

Although Chief of the General Staff Denikin was annoyed by Krasnov's nonsense and insincere conditions, his face finally remained calm. The man pondered for a long while, stretched out his hand to flick the cigarette ash, and stared at the serious man. With his own Krasnov Road,

"I said, Your Excellency the Head of State, I don't believe you can't see the current situation. The Allied Powers dominate the land of Russia. The Volga Federation and even the former Kolchak Kazan regime are just puppets of the Allied Powers. That’s all, if you want to be the head of the Volga Federation, I can naturally inform the other party to raise this condition, but is it meaningful? Apart from making people laugh at us for our ignorance, it’s not even worth a ruble!” Denikin’s patience is gradually growing lose.

"No, let's go our separate ways, Anton Ivanovich, I understand your thoughts, and I don't want to block your way forward. Since you are willing to see which Pepeliayev's face turns red, It's not a problem if I forcefully stop it, we'll get together and break up, no matter what, the Don Cossacks and the Kuban Cossacks have fought side by side for so many days, can't they start internal strife?"

The commander-in-chief of the White Guards of the Don River was forced to speak out for a while, and finally spoke out what was in his heart. If he wanted to talk about internal strife, this guy asked himself if he was not Denikin's opponent. None of the troops are as good as Denikin's troops. [.

Krasnov also figured it out. Today, Denikin came to showdown with him first, and if he wants to block this guy's way to join the Allied Forces, maybe he can mutiny and get rid of himself, Krasnov The husband simply pre-empted the attack and acted as if he was thinking of Denikin!

Denikin had been waiting for this sentence for a long time, and he asked without hesitation, "It's easy to get together and break up? That's okay, how do you want to divide it? Our Don and North Caucasus Republics have just established a joint venture. It’s been less than half a day, even if we took off the sign, no one would laugh at us!” Denikin came prepared today, and just now, he had sent his direct generals to lead the troops to quietly control several roads near the headquarters. The main street, as for the telegraph and telephone exchanges, were originally under the control of his chief of staff.

Denikin didn't intend to fight with each other. His troops were already small. If he really wanted to meet with force, there would be no suspense in winning the battle, but there would definitely be casualties, and his remaining strength would be even weaker!But he really didn't have time to go around with Krasnov, an idiot. As for the Don River and the North Caucasus, Denikin did his part to regard it as his own territory, and it was also the certificate and foundation of his defection to the Volga Federation, so he Stare at Krasnov and ask him how to divide it!

"How do you divide? You take the North Caucasus to join the Volga Federation, and I take the Don River Republic to form an alliance with Ukraine, and find a way to get the Germans to support us! How about it, Anton Ivanovich, when you came to the Don River What we were like before, what we are like now, get together and break up, the business will not be dealt with! In the future, even if each is his master, or will meet each other in battle, there is no need to show mercy!" Krasnov gritted his teeth and said !

"No! Peter Nikolaevich, the Don River and the North Caucasus are linked together. Now that they have become one, how can they be divided into two halves? What's more, we are so divided today, and tomorrow I have to bring troops back. All the dead are Cossacks, so why bother?" Denikin was unmoved.

Krasnov was furious when he heard this, and couldn't help but patted the table and said, "Denikin, don't bully people too much, your troops have Mosin Nagant rifles in their hands, and neither do my troops. Fire sticks! Do you think I’m really afraid of you?! I’m so mad, come! Come! Get Denikin out of here!”

Krasnov was furious and yelled for a long time, and there was no movement outside the small restaurant. Only then did Krasnov realize that his guards and adjutants hadn't appeared in front of him for a long time, as if Denikin had sent someone after he came in. I invited them out. I thought it was Denikin's guard captain and adjutant who invited his confidants to dinner and drink, so that Denikin and himself could discuss major issues behind closed doors. Be prepared!

Krasnov was a little flustered for a while, but he yelled all the way out, which was regarded as tearing his face, and it would be difficult to take back the words. Denikin, the former commander-in-chief of the White Guards on the Don River, could not help but touch his waist, and found that he was greedy for convenience and comfort, and changed back to casual clothes before eating, unlike Denikin, who was dressed in a military uniform, commanding knives and pistols on his waist everywhere.

Seeing Krasnov's bewildered behavior, Denikin sneered, and said word by word,

"Peter Nikolaevich, you are right. Let's get together and break up. Otherwise, others will watch the joke, and the drama of internal strife and fighting will be unnecessary. I suggest you announce that you Due to health problems, I decided to resign as the head of the Don River and the North Caucasus Autonomous Republic and the commander-in-chief of the armed forces, and withdraw from the political and military circles! In this way, we can get together and disperse, and the Cossack team will not suffer any losses!"
