Beiyang 1917

() Our enemies are not necessarily only Soviet Bolsheviks, but there must be Bolsheviks, just as their enemies are not necessarily only our White Guards, but we will definitely not disappear from their list of suppressing this suppression! "

Don't say that the Cossack leader usually has a big belly and looks hot-tempered, unlearned and incompetent, but the level of these few words is not bad at all. Even Kolchak nodded slightly when he heard the words, and ordered the orderly to say, "Lyushka, bring me some good wine, pour another glass for Roman Mikhainovich..." ..

Hearing the words, the orderly on the side ran to the small tent behind the tent and rummaged for a while, then took out an unopened bottle of high-grade vodka and brought it out. The big leader, Krashilnikov, poured a glass, and raised the wine bottle to Hastings and Dimilev in the opposite direction inquiringly. He reached out and snatched the vodka from Kolchak, and poured a small glass for himself and the Chief of Staff Hastings beside him!

The four leaders of the Kazan regime and the White Guards who had their own concerns raised their glasses and drank the spirits in the glasses together. A blush floated on the faces of Hastings and Dimilev, who usually had fair skin and didn't drink much spirits. Tears flashed in Dimirev's cheeks, he slapped the table hard, and said bitterly,

"What's the use of shouting slogans? This world is a world where the law of the jungle prevails. Only by judging the situation can we survive or survive better. With the support of the Allied Forces of the Volga Federation, a mere cavalry battalion commander and company commander can prevent our White Guards The division commander and brigade commander put it in his eyes! ..

It is said that barefoot people are not afraid of wearing shoes, but when they put on shoes, they left us so far away. Now the Kazan regime relies on the Allied Forces and the Volga Federation for supplies of food, daily supplies, ammunition, and weapons. Under such circumstances, why do we still insist on that nihilistic ideal and fight to the death with the Bolsheviks in Moscow, Soviet Russia? "

Dimirev's expression of true feelings made the atmosphere around the dinner table quite dignified. Kolchak was silent, Hastings waved all the orderlies waiting around out of the tent, and Krashilnikov gasped. He stared gruffly at Dimilev, who seemed to be losing his composure in front of him, and the latter also stared back at the Cossack chief without showing any weakness. Milev's mood and doubts at the moment represent the views of a considerable number of White Guard soldiers.

"We must believe that the future of Russia belongs to us, because justice is on our side. What we insist on is not to destroy the Bolsheviks. It is they who overthrew the country, society and culture on which our ancestors have lived. That doctrine and the theory of class struggle make it impossible for us to Conciliatoryism, Sergei Nikolaevich, don’t you know, if we don’t take the overthrow of the Bolsheviks as our call and our own goal, who will follow us, and who will follow us? Us? Believe we are doing justice!"

Kolchak stared into Dimirev's eyes with a slightly serious face. At this moment, Anna's beautiful and moving face flashed in his mind. Of course he felt guilty about Dimirev, but what happens when love comes? He couldn't stop it. It was better for Dimilev to suffer alone than three people suffering. This was what Anna persuaded him at the beginning, and for some reason it came to his mind again today.

"Justice? The king of China said that to make the people live a stable and peaceful life is to uphold justice. Is the life of the people of Kazan better now? Or the life of the people of the Volga Federation?

Although the food on the other side is also tight, and supplies are difficult, but look at the vigor and vitality on the other side of the Volga River. Bridges and roads are being built everywhere, mines are being mined and coal is being mined everywhere, and logs are being cut to build houses everywhere, let alone Soviet Russians. They ran to the demilitarized zone to receive free rations when they had the chance. We ordinary people under the Kazan rule, are there still fewer people who went to the south to apply to join the Volga Federation in the past half a month?Is justice on our side and they are evil? "

Sergei Nikolaevich Dimirev drank the second small glass of vodka that Hastings filled for him in one gulp, and his face was flushed red on the drink and he started to yell.

"Sergey Nikolaevich, you're drinking too much... Control your emotions... Don't be disrespectful to the Supreme Consul!" Hastings patted Dimirev's back beside him to comfort him.

Kolchak's face was pale and white. In fact, every sentence of Dimirev's words hit the heart of Alexander Vasilyevich Kolchak, the leader of the Kazan regime, like a giant hammer. The admiral, who prides himself on being patriotic and self-motivated, has mixed emotions at the moment. He regards the elimination of the Bolsheviks, the recovery of Moscow and Petersburg, and the liberation of Russia from the Bolsheviks as his glorious and sacred mission. Chak himself does not have such a passionate desire for power and wealth. He is more responsible for the mission entrusted to him by history and Russia.

"Am I really wrong? I shouldn't insist on fighting the Bolsheviks to the end? I should lead you to be the puppets of the Allied forces and the king of China like Pepe? Relying on other people's breath to linger for a while? Then why should I Came back from the United States all the way to be your leader? I obeyed the call of the mother land of Russia to my heart. This is my mission and my destiny. I cannot sit back and watch the motherland and people suffer such profound suffering and remain indifferent!"

Kolchak drank the third glass of vodka in one gulp, but his complexion became paler and greener, and he roared out of control.

"Alexander Vasilyevich, you are my senior in the military academy, and I am your assistant in the Baltic Fleet and the Black Sea Fleet. Of course I know that all your dedication to Mother Russia is so noble and admirable, If there is only one person in the Kazan regime who is not selfish and miscellaneous, it is you Kolchak and no one else, and Hastings and Krashinikov say the same to me! But... you Just think about it, what if the path we choose is really wrong? What if we really take a detour?"

Without showing any weakness, Dimirev also beat the table and roared. At this moment, the chief of staff of the Kazan 2nd Army's eyes were painful and helpless, and his goatee was trembling!
