    "Zinoviev! You are responsible for the rebellion of the commander of the Eastern Front! It was you who insisted on using Muraviev as the commander of the Eastern Front. Facts have proved that this almost ruined the newly formed Red Army.  Main force! You are responsible for this!"

    Smoke filled the conference room, and Bukharin pointed at Zinoviev opposite and roared!

    "Why didn't you say that when Muravyov was appointed commander of the Eastern Front? Who said that the Left Socialist Revolutionaries were the ones we should unite with? And who said that Muravyov was a proven revolutionary general?  ? Who said that Muravyov was appointed commander of the Petrograd garrison during the October Revolution? "

    Not to be outdone, Zinoviev counterattacked. This guy was more convinced and respected Ulyanov and Trotsky, but he was not interested in the party theoretician Bukharin at all. Muravyov  The rebellion caught everyone's expectations and brought unexpected losses to the first front troops formed by the Red Army.

    "Everything must look forward, Comrade Bukharin. Uniting the left socialist revolutionaries is the strategy of the central government and cannot be decided by any individual. The top priority now is to appoint a new commander of the Eastern Front as soon as possible and stabilize the army as soon as possible.  Stabilize the Eastern Front!" Trotsky waved his hand.

    On the issue of appointing the leftist revolutionary Muravyov as the first commander of the Eastern Front, Trotsky was the one who opposed all opinions. In other words, Trotsky was the biggest responsible person, but  At this time, Trotsky was the only Bolshevik leader who could stand on an equal footing with Ulyanov. He also single-handedly founded the Red Army and was known as the father of the Red Army. Bukharin only dared to criticize others, so how could he dare to accuse Trotsky to his face?  .

    "Who else is qualified to be the commander of the Eastern Front? With Muraviev's rebellion, the generals of the left revolutionaries in the army have been almost wiped out, and many division commanders and brigade commanders have been vacated. Now there are  Who is qualified to be the commander of the Eastern Front? The entire Eastern Front is in a mess!"

    Bukharin muttered that the suppression after the rebellion was a matter of course, and the expansion of the process of purging counter-revolutionaries and suppression was an unavoidable pit. At this time, all generals who were not born in Bolsheviks were in danger, even those who had been from Mensheviks and left-wing social revolutionaries  The generals who had turned from party members to Bolsheviks were also suspicious.

    Small riots occurred in both Moscow and Petrograd along with Muravyov's rebellion. Of course, they were ruthlessly suppressed by the Bolsheviks with military means, but the sequelae were also quite serious. The early senior generals of the Red Army were all from the Tsarist Russian Army.  This raised a serious question for the Central Committee of Soviet Russia: What kind of talents are worthy of trust?

    "I heard that the commander of the 1st Army of the Eastern Front, M. N. Tukhachevsky, showed resoluteness in crushing Murayov's rebellion. He was a loyal and brave Bolshevik. How about handing over the Eastern Front to him?"  Kamenev asked tentatively.

    One of the main reasons for the failure of Mulayov's rebellion was that he was too confident. He only took a regiment of guards and broke into the station of the 1st Army in Simbirsk. As the hometown of Comrade Ulyanov, the Bolshevik organization  The power was quite strong, and in the end, Muravyov's rebellion was suppressed in one fell swoop with the Hongmen Banquet.

    "The 1st Army was temporarily formed not long ago, and the number of troops was not large. Tukhachevsky was too young, only 25 years old. And why did Muravyov not go to other armies to incite rebellion but instead went to the Bolsheviks' strongest force?  Strong Simbirsk?

    The large number of left-wing Socialist Revolutionary generals in the 1st Army is a key factor. Although Commander Tukhachevsky was very resolute in crushing the rebellion, it is indisputable that the 1st Army has now lost its combat effectiveness.  In fact, at this time, Tukhachev's task is to gather and restore the 1st Army as soon as possible. He wants to be the commander of the Eastern Front commanding the five armies. I think it is too hasty!  "

    Kamenev frowned and said a lot of objections, and the reasons were quite good.

    "Let Vacetis go. He was the commander-in-chief of the Bolsheviks during the October Revolution. He was both a staunch Bolshevik and a military expert. Comrade Trotsky was in charge of the overall situation in Moscow. I think Vacetis  Comrade Jisi is a very good candidate. As for Tukhachevsky, let him practice for a while. After all, he was captured by the Germans in the Tsarist Russian army for a while, and he only became a company commander when he came back.  The burden of being the commander of the 1st Army Group is quite heavy for a young man like him!¡±

    Ulyanov touched his shiny forehead, turned around from the map, and said to Trotsky, Chairman of the Revolutionary Military Committee.

    "Well Comrade Vacetis is the only one left. I agree with Comrade Ulyanov's suggestion!" Trotsky hesitated, but finally agreed to this candidate.

    Two peopleSince the bosses are unanimous, the other Central Committee members are no longer fussing. Although Kamenev almost volunteered to take on this responsibility just now, since Comrade Ulyanov has a new idea, there is no need to wait any longer.  Well, anyway, the challenge of the Eastern Front was so huge that Kamenev actually had no idea that he could shoulder this burden.

    "The Eastern Front is the key to our survival. The Ural Mountains and Siberia are our strategic rear. Comrade Trotsky, I suggest that you personally care about the reconstruction of the Eastern Front Army, and enable the Eastern Front Army to move into counterattack as soon as possible.  Kolchak must be driven back and Kazan must be taken back!¡±

    Ulyanov waved his fist and stared at Trotsky sharply and firmly.

    "Comrade Ulyanov, you are right. I will personally accompany Vacetis to take office in the Eastern Front, organize the team as soon as possible, and transfer to the counterattack as soon as possible. However, the shortage of food and fuel is getting more and more serious.  , Moscow must do everything it can to ensure logistical supplies!¡±

    Trotsky spoke firmly, but glanced at Kamenev beside Ulyanov, who was currently serving as the chairman of the Moscow Soviet and the actual person in charge of the logistics work.

    "You can rest assured. The order to collect all food and fuel for unified deployment by the state was issued half a month ago. The order to form the Red Army was issued a month ago. The important thing is to implement it. Kamenev and Zinovi  Yefu, the two of you who are in charge of this work must cooperate with Dzerzhinsky's Cheka, and don't be soft on all enemies who fight against the Soviets. I know that there is not enough food, but what should we do to feed us?  The enemy will starve our comrades to death?¡±

    "Comrade Chairman, the members of the Ministry of Agriculture are all left-wing socialist revolutionaries. They oppose our surplus grain collection system and obstruct the implementation and execution of orders in rural areas. What should we do?" Bukharin, who has been unable to find anything to say, said this  After a while, I will mix it in every possible opportunity.

    "Comrade Bukharin, an order is an order. In order to defend our regime, someone must pay a price and make sacrifices. Let Comrade Dzerzhinsky handle this matter!" Ulyanov waved his hand and spoke.  He said sternly.

    "The situation in the south is also quite serious. Krasnov and Denikin colluded to occupy the North Caucasus and the Don River Basin. Comrade Joseph is organizing the Tsaritsyn Defense Line. However, at the moment, the enemy's strength on the southern front is much greater than ours. The situation  Not optimistic!"

    After finalizing the candidate for the commander of the Eastern Front, Trotsky turned his attention to the Tsaritsyn Defense Line. During the October Revolution, Krasnov was the commander of the cavalry army loyal to the Provisional Government and was ordered by Kerensky to lead the army.  Attacking Petrograd in an attempt to subvert the revolution, he was defeated by the heroic Bolsheviks. Krasnov was also defeated and captured.

    After promising not to oppose the Soviets, this guy actually escaped death and was released by the Bolsheviks. After returning to the Don River, he raised the banner against Soviet Russia, raised a North Caucasus Cossack White Guard army, and appointed himself commander-in-chief. Denikin  It's his deputy.

    The main attack direction of the Krasnov and Denikin White Guards is Tsaritsyn. Only after taking Tsaritsyn can they go all the way north to join the Kolchak White Guards in the direction of Kazan.

    Of course, the ultimate goal of the White Guards is Moscow.
