Beiyang 1917

"Hey! I'm really anxious. I'll read the telegram from the other party! Waiting for Georgy Vasilyevich to speak is more anxious than waiting for a cow to climb a tree!" Bukharin stepped forward and flinched. The People's Commissar for Foreign Affairs of the Soviet Union snatched the telegram from his hand, unfolded it, moved it to the light and read it

Chicherin's eyes darkened and he was almost crumbling. Dzerzhinsky stepped forward to support the People's Commissar of Foreign Affairs of the Soviet Union, while Bubnov got up and carried his chair over. As Chicherin sat down, Zinoviev had already brought a cup of hot water and a small piece of black bread on the plate in his hand. Moscow's food supply became more and more tense after losing the source of the lower Volga River. (..No pop-up window to read)

In the whole of Moscow, from the Central Committee of the Soviet Union to ordinary workers, each person can only be rationed with 600 grams of black bread per day. It is not enough at all, 600 grams of bread is divided into 3 meals, each meal is 200 grams of bread, and the non-staple food is so lacking, most Moscow people are in the state of malnutrition.

Scraped by the Soviet Russian government, the limited food had to be given priority to the troops on the Nizhny Novgorod front line, and even the First Army, which was reorganized and reorganized on the front line in Sarask, was voluntarily repatriated due to insufficient food supply. Back to the Soviet Russian prisoners of war, there are endless incidents of deserters because of hunger, and the whereabouts of the deserters are actually to turn back to the right bank of the Volga River, or go south, even in the POW camps of the Volga Federation, the food is much better than this , at least three meals of black bread can be full, and you can drink potato soup as you like!

The units of the Tenth and Eighth Army Groups, which retreated from the left bank of the Volga River to the west of the river fifty kilometers away due to the demarcation of the demilitarized zone, had to carry out the so-called surplus food collection system again in order to solve the food problem on the spot. This triggered one after another of local farmers' resistance and small-scale riots and rebellions.

In the past, the Volga River was hindered by natural hazards, but now the Volga Federation has naturally appeared in the 50-kilometer-wide demilitarized zone. Therefore, most of the farmers near the border of the Soviet-Russian-controlled area fled with their families because of their resistance to the surplus grain collection system. The tide of entering the demilitarized zone is becoming more and more fierce day by day. Of course, the number of Soviet Russian farmers who directly enter the Volga Federation territory on the line of Saratov, Voronezh and Kursk to the south has also increased greatly.

The local government of the Volga Federation always welcomes anyone who comes. Even if there is no land for you to cultivate, at least you can arrange it on labor-intensive construction sites such as bridge repairs, paving roads, and coal mining to solve your three meals a day and food and clothing for the whole family. If you enter the factories in the major cities of the Volga Federation, then the income of a worker is enough to feed a family of six!

Unknowingly, the Volga Federation has become a sponge that absorbs water, attracting farmers and refugees who could not survive in the Soviet-controlled areas to make a living on their own land. The Volga Federation, where Pepelyaev is the prime minister, The population under the administration is increasing every day, with the addition of the Don and the North Caucasus Autonomous Republics.

At this moment, the total area of ​​the Volga Federation exceeded 110 million square kilometers, and the total population jumped to about 900 million.

Not to mention that Chicherin almost fainted because of hunger and being robbed of the telegram draft by Bukharin. When Dzerzhinsky, Bubnov and Zinoviev took care of Chicherin, Ulyanov , Trotsky, and Sverdlov all stopped and walked around Bukharin in the middle, listening to him read aloud the telegram from the Volga Federation:

To the People's Commissars of the Soviet Union

People's Commissar for Foreign Affairs G. V. Chicherin

1918年7月25ri18：25

Your Excellency the People's Commissar of Foreign Affairs, regarding your protest, the accusation that the Volga Federation violated the "Samara Peace Treaty" is pure nonsense. If the Volga Federation needs to support the Kazan regime to fight against you, then there will be no Volga Federation at all. With the emergence of China, do we need to spend so much effort to establish some kind of Volga Federation?

The reason why your accusations are nonsense is that the establishment of the Volga Federation itself is a product of our opposition to the Kazan-Kolchak regime’s continued attack on the Soviet regime. How much sacrifice and forbearance has been made to protect the happiness and future of the people on this land.

As for what you said, the Volga Federation provided military aid to Kolchak’s Kazan regime, which is also nonsense. If the Volga Federation wants to be an enemy of the Soviet Russian government, it does not need to provide assistance to Kolchak at all. Our 38 troops can wipe out both yours and Kolchak's troops at the same time, why bother to arm the White Guards on Kolchak's side?Wouldn't it be better for us to fight by ourselves?

In fact, if we hadn't informed you of the battlefield intelligence in time, Berzin's Third Army of the Volga Front would not have had the chance to evacuate to Nizhny Novgorod at all. The Drovna Iron Triangle was surrounded and wiped out by Kolchak's three-way army!

If we hadn't used the method of setting up the demilitarized zone on the left bank of the Volga River to objectively force back Kolchak's Cossack cavalry division going south, we can predict that the 37th infantry division of the Tenth Army of Gidis may have been defeated. The opponent's two Cossack cavalry divisions were wiped out, and the 38th and 39th infantry divisions will also suffer heavy losses!

If we hadn't picked up the burden of Tsaritsyn for you, and we had dealt with Denikin's White Guards on the Don in the south in the past two days, your Tenth Army and Eighth Army would have no chance to go north to defend the Soviet Union and Moscow. We have created all these conditions for you, and we have unloaded your burdens and burdens!

Similarly, the mess you left behind after you left the South is that our Volga Federation brought food relief purchased at a high price from the East and fed the Russian farmers who were left behind by you. Wan, most of them are farmers, because you took away the last few grains hidden at home, and entered our territory in order to survive.

If you were in another country, you might have set up barbed wire racks and machine guns on the border to deal with illegal immigrants who crossed the border, but not only did we not do this, but we also distributed tents and relief food, and established border refugee camps to properly resettle your people. And we have a policy of free to come and go, of course, Cheka and Bolsheviks are not among them!Surely you can understand this! ^-^No pop-up window to read^_^
