Beiyang 1917

At the military meeting of senior generals, almost all the generals of the White Guards overwhelmingly declared their allegiance to the new leader Denikin, while Krasnov, who announced his resignation, left sadly. Not even one of the generals who belonged to him went to the train station to see him off Of course, Denikin's security was also strict. The new leader of the Don Cossacks sent his direct generals to lead a regiment of troops to escort the Krasnov family with their luggage to Ukraine by train. ..

Denikin satisfied Peter Nikolaevich Krasnov’s request to go into exile in Germany through Ukraine. Of course, the gold, silver and jewels he took with him should be able to maintain Krasnov’s dignity in any European country His adjutant, the head of the guard, and the housekeeper and his wife continued to follow him.

Later that day, Anton Ivanovich Denikin, on behalf of the Don River and North Caucasus Autonomous Government, officially announced to the public that Head of State Krasnov resigned from all positions due to health reasons, stepped down and left for Europe to recuperate , Denikin became the second head of state and prime minister of the Don and North Caucasus Autonomous Government.

Fitzkhraulov was appointed as the commander of the Don Army, and Mamonov was appointed as the commander of the Kuban Army. Although all the generals in the direct line of the army have been promoted one after another, they are not as good as the complacent Fitzkhraulov and Mamonov. (.

In fact, in just a few days, Denikin not only used Krasnov to establish the Don River and the North Caucasus Autonomous Government, but also used the Don River and the North Caucasus as a pronoun and a stepping stone to properly solve the problem of joining the Volga The problem of the Federation, to join the Volga Federation is to choose to join the camp of the Allied Powers. This is Denikin's own choice all the time, and it is also the philosophy he instilled in his subordinates and generals.

For the Cossacks, the separatist tendency has been partly vented. After all, after the Don River and the North Caucasus join the Volga Federation, they will be treated as autonomous republics, and the food transported by the train from Tsaritsyn that night The first phase of the southern campaign, which announced the Allied forces of the Allied Powers, still focused on softness and food offensives. It was at a time when the crops were in short supply, and the food shipped from Tsaritsin could be regarded as a timely help.

Of course, on the one hand, Wu Peifu’s Southern Front Army is still in the process of reorganization, mobilization and supplementation; While rectifying the interior, at the same time, considering the ethnic issues in the Don, Kuban, Kalmykia and Astrakhan areas have always been complicated.

The Volga Federation finally gave Denikin the establishment of three army groups to properly arrange and balance the various forces and hills under Denikin's subordinates. Of course, at this moment, Denikin can gather more than 4 people if he can do his best. Krasno Although the husband was properly resolved, there were always some loyal subordinates who were unwilling to work for Denikin to see the face of the Kuban Cossacks, so they left the barracks and fled westward into Ukraine to join the ranks of the local Ukrainian Cossacks. \\..\\

In fact, Denikin turned a blind eye and let his direct troops escort or monitor these people to leave. Of course, there is nothing to say about those who dare to stay in the territory as bandits and robbers. The coalition flaunted that it made the right choice in good faith.

On July 1918, 7, the biggest winner of the twists and turns was obviously the Volga Federation and the Allied Forces behind it. For the Don White Guards, they lost their identity as an army under Kolchak’s Kazan regime, but gained a more potential With Denikin's pride, he even thought that if he joined the Volga Federation, the one who should be anxious should be Pepelyaev, the prime minister of the federal cabinet.

For Denikin, he has always believed in pragmatism and using his talents according to his ability. Of course, he also has his own ideals and pursuits. Denikin can see that sooner or later the Allied forces will naturally dissipate after the war, but the Volga Federation At this moment, it seems that it has the best chance to reap the benefits of the war, and stand upright after the war, becoming the most potential candidate force for changing its name to the Russian Federation, none of them.

As for whether the Entente will lose again in the pk with the German and Austrian allies, Denikin has his own judgment. Regardless of the outcome of the war, the United States must be the biggest winner. Germany and Austria do not have the strength to conquer the world. It's no good, I will live in exile and live in the United States by virtue of my love for fighting in the Allied Powers!

Denikin even knew that the current uncrowned king of Asia, the commander-in-chief of the Allied Forces on the Eastern Front, is actually the spokesperson of the United States in Asia, and has inextricably close ties with the U.S. political power and opposition , the main industry of the king of China is not even necessarily in China, but still in the United States!

Anton Ivanovich Denikin is full of confidence in his choice. In his opinion, this land is Chinese. The Japanese, the British, and the French will have to leave sooner or later. Only the native Russians can take root and survive. Now that he chooses to join the Volga Federation, the Volga Federation may become the successor of the new Great Russia in the future.

Of course, the situation in the North Caucasus has always been complicated and changeable. Therefore, based on various considerations, Denikin hoped that by the end of July, when he had settled everything, he would officially declare the Judon River and the North Caucasus Autonomous Republic. Join the Volga Federation.

However, the facts proved that this was Denikin's wishful thinking. Wu Peifu, the commander of the Allied Forces Southern Front, did not have the intention to continue watching him toss in the south, and Wang Geng also hoped that Denikin would go to Samara as soon as possible to take up the post as the federal deputy. The prime minister and military minister went, implying that the price offered by the Allied Forces and the Volga Federation was not small. You, Denikin, had no choice but to join the Federation without hesitation.

In fact, although Denikin obtained the establishment of three army groups, the Don River and the North Caucasus White Guards, which were severely weakened after three defeats in the Tsaritsyn Battle, could gather the strength of five divisions, two of which The infantry division, the three Cossack cavalry divisions, and the rest of the troops are all empty-handed, and it will take years to wait for the reorganization, recruitment and arming.

For the generals under Denikin's subordinates, the generals of the Don River were more anxious. On the one hand, their troops were small, weak, lacked in all aspects of weapons, and lacked food and salaries, so they hoped to hang up the Volga as soon as possible. The Federation's signature not only has brand new military uniforms to replace, but at least weapons can also be used to change their outfits.

After learning that the Volga Federation had voluntarily given up the land south of Tsaritsyn to Kolchak, the Volga Federation had actually provided Kazan with 90 cannons, 600 Maxim heavy machine guns, and a large number of shells and bullets. Denikin's The subordinate generals couldn't sit still any longer, and urged their boss to replace the signboard first!
