    "Have all the Fourth Army of the Southern Cluster moved north? In the last battle to defend Tsaritsyn, the Cossack White Guards in Uralsk and Orenburg were wiped out?" Ulyanov looked at the large map on the wall with his hands behind his back.  , now he looks a bit like the supreme leader who understands the military.

    "According to the previous telegram from Fourth Army Commander Lezhevsky, after the last battle to defend Tsaritsyn, most of the White Guards entrenched in Uralsk were annihilated, and a small number fled towards Kazakhstan. That was the announcement of the ** in December last year.  The Alash Autonomous Republic, as for the Cossack White Guards in the direction of Orenburg, was expelled earlier and seemed to have retreated to Ufa in the north. "Sdervyov is obviously a thoughtful person.

    Trotsky frowned when he heard this. During this period, the chairman of the Supreme Revolutionary Military Committee was having a difficult time. There were undercurrents in the Central Committee surrounding the struggle for the highest command of the Red Army. Comrade Ulyanov obviously  He was very dissatisfied with the results of the Red Army under his command. The first thing that bore the brunt was that the Kazan front line had never been captured. Secondly, he was in conflict with Ulyanov and his followers in appointing former senior Tsarist Russian generals who were military experts to build the Red Army.  The differences between them are growing.

    To be fair, Trotsky did not hide his appreciation for Sdervyov, a close comrade-in-arms whom Ulyanov placed beside him. Trotsky himself was not a military expert, and Sdervyov  The same is true, but Sdervyov obviously has better sensitivity and sense of military command than himself, the chairman of the Supreme Revolutionary Military Council.  When it comes to power struggles, blind appeasement and tolerance are absolutely unacceptable.

    The more important reason why Trotsky became the top military leader of the Red Army was his inclusive and broad-mindedness. In other words, he maintained a center-right stance politically, which made the vast majority of senior Red Army generals who were former Tsarist Russian generals.  There is a sense of admiration and following for Trotsky.

    "Comrade Dzerzhinsky, how is the Cheka's penetration work to the east of the Ural Mountains going? What are the Chinese and Japanese to the east of the Ural Mountains doing? They will appear unexpectedly to the west of the Ural Mountains.  Cause us unexpected trouble!" Trotsky turned the topic to the east of the Ural Mountains that everyone has been ignoring or selectively ignoring!

    "Well, the difficulties are quite great. The Chinese have implemented strict blockade measures at the Ural Pass. All the refugees from west to east can flow unimpeded, while all the people fleeing from east to west are isolated. Cheka has sent more than a dozen intelligence teams there.  , Anyone with a radio will be immediately discovered and detained at the checkpoint, and they will not know whether they are alive or dead. Those who are lucky enough to get through without a radio will not be able to send back the message!" Dzerzhinsky scratched his head,  Report with a solemn expression.

    "What about the guerrillas on the West Siberian plains? It's impossible that they were all wiped out in just two months, right?" Trotsky asked a little surprised.

    "The last telegram sent back by the guerrillas was a week ago, saying that they had been surrounded by the Chinese Communist Party. They were led by the village self-defense forces organized by local people. Chinese reconnaissance planes were circling in the sky. They had already  Ready for sacrifice, the vacillating and traitorous elements have been disciplined on the spot, and then the signal was cut off!" It was Sdervyov who spoke, with an equally solemn expression.

    The first person reporting to the Central Committee on Cheka¡¯s intelligence and counter-revolutionary work under Dzerzhinsky was not Comrade Ulyanov, but him, the military commissar of the Supreme Military Council.

    "Comrade Trotsky, it is said that the Chinese used radio direction finding equipment installed on heavy bombers to search for suspicious signals from the air. Once the signal location is determined, their armored reconnaissance battalions can quickly dispatch to encircle and suppress our local guerrilla camps.  ¡âFor two months, the guerrillas who had not evacuated the Western Siberian plains were completely destroyed, and they launched the so-called people's war!" Dzerzhinsky was obviously a little frustrated.

    "What kind of people's war? The Allied Powers, including the armies of China and Japan, are outright invaders. They think that supporting some kind of Western Siberian autonomous government can cover up people's eyes? Siberia and the Far East are both existing territories of Russia! Besides, how dare they claim that?  What he started was a people's war? How could the local people accept their existence?" Trotsky was obviously a little excited!

    "I have studied this, and I must say that the Chinese are very good at appeasing and mobilizing the people. They brought food and a large amount of commodities, and implemented the 375 rent reduction regulations and land reform measures. Not only did Siberia  The middle peasants, rich peasants and landlords accepted their policies and existence, and even the remaining poor peasants and laborers were pulled over by them. Moreover, they also adopted a Baojia policy. Every village and residential area was guarded, and all strangers who appeared were threatened.  The report was immediately reported to the village committee, then the town committee, and then the Chinese ** team showed up.?¡±

    Zinoviev has carefully studied the policies implemented by the Chinese in the West Siberian Plain. This expert on policy within the Bolshevik Party could not help but feel a little frightened. The Chinese have obviously spent a lot of money to compete for the hearts and minds of the people, and the results have been remarkable!

    "Comrades! What's the use of talking about it now? The top priority is to eliminate the Kolchak regime west of the Ural Mountains first. Moreover, I heard that the Kolchak regime has betrayed Russia's interests and given up everything east of the Ural Mountains.  Land, this traitor should be hanged! Comrade Trotsky, I know that the Chinese east of the Ural Mountains have sent troops to intervene. Because of this, we must seize the time and eliminate the Kolchak gang in one go!"

    Comrade Ulyanov was obviously a little angry after hearing the bad news. He pinched his waist with one hand and waved his hand.

    "Comrade Ulyanov is right. If we get rid of Kolchak before the Chinese send troops to intervene west of the Ural Mountains, then with the arrival of the long winter, we can easily hold the Ural Pass and wait until next year.  In the spring, the strength of the Red Army will be even stronger. Then we will launch the spring offensive and regain the Western Siberian Plains in one go!" Sdervyov has obviously entered the role, and this idea is quite satisfactory!

    "We cannot rely on wishful thinking in fighting the war. The current shortage of food in Tukhachevsky's Southern Cluster on the other side of the Volga River has affected progress. If we want to capture Ufa in one go, instead of transporting food all the way from Moscow to the front line, it is better to transport food from Tsaritsyn  Allocate food and baggage to the direction, and if necessary, even let the Southern Front send a food transport team northward, which not only ensures food security, but also covers the flanks and rear of the Eastern Front's Southern Group, and can be used as a reserve force for the Ufa Battle at any time! "

    Trotsky frowned. It was obvious that it was the consensus of most Central Committee members to use the main force of the Eastern Front in the direction of the Southern Cluster on the right bank of the Volga River. It was an indisputable fact that Tukhachevsky's strength would further grow. In this case  , then put aside the struggle for personal power, and strive to let the Southern Cluster win the Ufa battle, capture Ufa, and eradicate the base and headquarters of the Kolchak regime once and for all!

    As for whether the Chinese will send troops to intervene, we will wait until the time comes. As long as the Kolchak regime is eliminated, the Soviet Red Army on the eastern front will further strengthen and develop. Even if the Chinese do not advance westward, the Soviet Red Army will have to wait until the following spring to move eastward.  Enter.

    "This is a good idea! What do you think, Stelvyov? Can Joseph still dispatch food and troops? In the last battle to defend Tsaritsyn, the casualties of the Southern Front seemed to be considerable!" Ulyanov turned to  Come and ask your close friend and military adviser, member of the Central Committee, and military commissar of the Supreme Revolutionary Military Council Sdervyov.

    "It's hard to say. As for food, the Tsaritsyn direction is a little more plentiful than the eastern front. After all, the middle and lower reaches of the Volga River are originally grain-producing areas. The problem is that Joseph's last telegram also said that Moscow needed to replenish his troops. Now we not only  I don¡¯t know if he can overcome this difficulty if he is not given more troops and is transferred from the Southern Front!¡±

    Sdervyov scratched his head and said in embarrassment. Everyone knew that Joseph, who was in charge of the work of the Southern Front, and Vatsedis, who was in charge of the work of the Eastern Front, could not urinate in a pot, and Trotsky and Joseph's saliva telegrams  Zhan Ze has fought many times, and the relationship between the two parties has long been incompatible.
