    "It seems that the news has been confirmed. The Ufa Allied Forces Command has issued a second press release to major media outlets in various countries. Even our Pravda has received this press release!" Trotsky said with a livid face.  He hurried in, holding a telegram in his hand.

    "What did the press release say? Comrade Trotsky, I still doubt whether the enemy is spreading rumors to deceive the public, shake our will and determination, and confuse international public opinion and audiovisuals! How come you are so credulous in believing the other party's propaganda?"  Ulyanov did not grab the telegram from Trotsky this time. Firstly, Trotsky was not Dzerzhinsky and he could do whatever he wanted. Secondly, Ulyanov was deeply afraid of seeing more  What terrible and unacceptable news.

    "Victory or defeat is a matter of course for the military. The Tsarist Russian army had more than 3 million prisoners of war in the German and Austrian prisoner-of-war camps. Now even if what the coalition said is true, we have lost more than 200,000 Soviet Red Army soldiers, but it cannot change the course of history.  , those who support us will eventually be on our side, and those who do not belong to us will leave us sooner or later! The darkness before dawn is always only temporary. I believe that more Bolsheviks will join and strengthen our Soviet Red Army,  What we lose today will be repaid twice as much in the future!¡±

    As Trotsky walked inside, he comforted the Central Committee members in the conference room. Although he felt the same grief and palpitations in his heart, the more difficult the moment, the more he showed his leadership style in front of the Central Committee members.  When acting like a general, if even he, the founder of the Soviet Red Army, was like Comrade Ulyanov, nervously roaring and hesitating in the face of crises and setbacks, how could the Bolshevik cause develop and grow to the point it is now?

    Sure enough, Trotsky's words were quite graceful and courageous. Kamenev and Zinoviev's eyes suddenly lit up, and Dzerzhinsky was even filled with gratitude and trust.  If Lotsky stated that he believed the news was true, he could finally breathe a sigh of relief. Otherwise, no one would be able to withstand Comrade Ulyanov¡¯s sharp eyes and oppressive questioning. What if the news  It is true that the coalition's propaganda is not true. Wouldn't he be left with nothing to eat?  Thanks to Trotsky's statement, he relieved himself of the burden.

    Bukharin, who had been sitting in a chair muttering to himself in a daze, suddenly jumped up from his chair and rushed to Trotsky when he heard that "Pravda", the editor-in-chief of which he was the editor-in-chief, had also received such a telegram news notice.  He grabbed the telegram manuscript and started reading:

    "Battle report of the Allied Forces Ufa Headquarters. During the battle to defend Ufa that lasted for nearly a week, the Allied forces united to block the offensive launched by the Soviet Eastern Front's Southern Group. In the first stage of the battle, the Allied forces were in a defensive posture.  The enemy's strength and firepower are superior to the coalition forces defending Ufa. The Soviet Red Army surrounded Ufa and launched an offensive. The forces included three armies, 14 infantry divisions, 4 cavalry divisions, and 33 artillery batteries with a total of 198 cannons. The total offensive force was one side.  The total number of people exceeds 160,000.¡±

    "On the coalition side, the defenders of Ufa are two White Guard infantry divisions of the Northwest Group commanded by the Commander of the Ufa garrison, Prime Minister of the All-Russian Provisional Government, and General of the Belarusian Army Pepelyayev, and two Ufa volunteers.  division, with a total of more than 40,000 people, and 8 artillery companies. The Southeast Group commanded by Alexander Petrovich has two White Guard infantry divisions, a Ufa Volunteer Division and a 4th Ural Cavalry Division, also with more than 40,000 people, and has 8 artillery batteries.  6 artillery batteries.

    Regardless of the number of troops or artillery, the coalition forces guarding Ufa were at a huge disadvantage in the first stage of the defensive operation. However, the coalition soldiers held the position through bloody battles and annihilated the Soviet Union on the northwest defense line on the first day of combat.  The 24th Division of the Simbirsk Iron Army used by the Russian First Army to launch the offensive!  In the second day of combat, three divisions launched by the Soviet Fourth Army were annihilated on the southeastern defense line, and nearly 10,000 Soviet Red Army prisoners were captured!  "

    "In the spirit of humanitarianism, the coalition forces actively requested a temporary ceasefire so that the Soviet Red Army could evacuate its wounded from the battlefield. The number of these wounded was as high as 24,000. In the battle on the same day, the Ufa coalition defeated the Soviet Red Army cavalry.  The roundabout battle annihilated most of the three cavalry divisions sent by the opponent, and less than 5,000 of the opponent's 30,000 cavalry were successfully withdrawn! "

    "The victory of the coalition forces boosted morale and spirit, but the attacking Soviet Red Army was in a state of collapse. The main force of the Soviet Southern Group was pushed back to Chernigovka, 20 kilometers southwest of Ufa. Immediately afterwards, Tukhache  Rzhevsky abandoned Lezhevsky and led a division to guard 24,000 wounded soldiers trapped in Chernigovka. He led the remaining 100,000 people of the main force of the Southern Cluster to retreat to the front line of Milna Yachikovo to wait for the third attack on the left bank of the Volga.  Reinforcements from the Fifth Army and the Ninth Army!"

    ¡°While the coalition forces were repelling the enemy, their own strength was also growing, and they soon used roundabout tactics to attack the entire southeast of Chistopol.The three divisions of the Fifth Army's Northern Route Army were wiped out, and the Fifth Army and the Ninth Army, which had rushed to the line of Pavrebri Guma, retreated across the board. Of course, Tukhachevsky in the east once again  Abandoning the remnants of the Fourth and Second Army, he led the main force of the First Army to retreat southward!  "

    "The defeat of the Soviet Red Army allowed the coalition forces to seize a favorable opportunity. In the pursuit battle for three days and two nights, they successively annihilated three divisions of the Soviet Fifth Army's South Route Army, and annihilated the entire Soviet Second Army and the Third Army.  Most of the Fourth Army and captured the 30,000-strong Rzhevsky Group that was trapped in Chernigovka. In the southeast, a cavalry battalion of the coalition guarded the town of Sterli Tamak and annihilated the invading troops on the way to retreat.  Tukhachevsky led most of a cavalry regiment, and cooperated with the coalition cavalry troops to annihilate the 15th and 20th Infantry Divisions of the First Army."

    "At the same time, the Stepin Cluster of the Soviet Ninth Army that retreated to the west was also completely wiped out by the coalition armored forces. The Battle of Ufa is now coming to an end, and the remaining Soviet Red Army units that are still at large will be completely wiped out by the heroic and fearless coalition forces in the near future.  Encirclement and annihilation! The outcome of the Battle of Ufa confirmed the complete bankruptcy of the offensive launched by the Soviet Russian regime against the All-Russian Provisional Government and the coalition forces! "

    ¡°The All-Russian Provisional Government and the Allied Forces of the Allied Powers strictly abided by the Geneva Prisoner of War Convention throughout the campaign and made multiple ceasefires at the front so that the Soviet Red Army could evacuate its lightly and seriously wounded soldiers. The victory of the Allied Forces in the Battle of Ufa once again proved that,  The unjust party will be defeated and eliminated by the just party! No matter how fancy your doctrine is, it can¡¯t cover up the fact that you destroy social justice, plunder and massacre people.¡±

    "The Ufa Command of the Allied Powers appeals to all Soviet Red Army soldiers who have not yet laid down their arms. Please put down your arms. We love peace, but we are never afraid of war. As long as you are a member of the Soviet Red Army, as long as you continue  If you follow that anti-humanity and anti-justice regime, you will inevitably suffer the fate of failure!¡±

    "The coalition forces treat prisoners preferentially! Russia's revitalization and future require the support of all the Russian people. As a member of the Allied Powers, the All-Russian Provisional Government is the natural representative of the Russian land and people officially recognized by the international community! Your regime has no power other than your own.  No other country admits that as long as you do not lay down your arms, the All-Russian Provisional Government and the Allied Forces will continue the war to the end! One day you and the German and Austrian imperialists behind you will taste the bitter fruits you have brewed!¡±

    "As long as you lay down your arms, the Allied forces can forget the blame. Regardless of whether you are a political commissar or a military commander, we welcome you to lay down your arms. As long as you lay down your arms, you will receive our protection and have the right to become a member of Free Russia. All-Russian Provisional  The government has promulgated the "375 Rent Reduction Regulations" and the "Temporary Measures for Land Management". All peace-loving people will gain the right to survive. You are welcome to become a member of Free Russia. You will own your own land and receive government  For protection, all personal property will be sacred and inviolable. You are welcome to join the light!"

    Bukharin read the long telegram news release in his hand with a trembling voice. Only his voice echoed in the huge conference room. Ulyanov narrowed his eyes and stared at Bukharin, but he did not speak.  It was a miracle that Bukhalin read the manuscript, while Kamenev, Zinoviev and Dzerzhinsky listened carefully in silence. Trotsky's fists were clenched tightly, and his eyes were filled with tears.  Burning with raging anger and fighting spirit, Bukharin did not stop reading the manuscript without making a sound.

    After finally thinking about it, Bukharin stopped with sweat on his forehead, looked up at the eyes of everyone around him, swallowed hard and said,

    "The following is the list of senior commanders of the Soviet Red Army captured during the Battle of Ufa"

    "Captured senior commanders? Besides the two scum and traitors, Ekh and Rzhevsky, who else is there?!" Ulyanov squeezed out a sentence through his teeth and asked.

    "The commander of the Fifth Army Slavin, the chief of staff Eh and the political commissar Bloumberg, as well as several division commanders and political commissars, the commander of the Fourth Army Rzhevski and several division commanders and political commissars, the second  Army commander Ma Xin, political commissar Khachenko and several division commanders and political commissars, Ninth Army Chief of Staff Stepin and several division commanders and political commissars!" Bukharin looked at the manuscript in his hand, raised his head and said.

    "What the hell! Not even a single army-level commander died in the battle? Did they all lay down their weapons and surrender? Even Ma Xin surrendered?!" Ulyanov became furious after hearing this.  He roared again, turned and shouted at Trotsky again,

    "Trotsky! Is this the Eastern Front of the Soviet Red Army that you are proud of? The commander, political commissar, and chief of staff of the Fifth Army all laid down their weapons and surrendered! You must take responsibility for this! Slavin and the others infiltrated our ranks  spies and enemies, and condoning and appointing them to command the army, is it not your full insistence and advocacy???  !  "Ulyanov shouted completely out of control.

    "Comrade Ulyanov! After losing the conditions to continue fighting, laying down weapons is one of the optional strategies to preserve strength in order to make a comeback. Both the Entente and the Allies have had countless senior generals and military leaders in the past four years of war.  Soldiers who are captured, lay down their weapons and become prisoners of war cannot simply be considered traitors and spies!" Trotsky couldn't help but counterattacked.

    "The Bolsheviks and the Soviet Red Army should fight to the last breath. Any move to lay down arms to the enemy is considered a betrayal of our cause! This will not be tolerated!" Ulyanov walked up to Trotsky and said tightly  clenched his fists and shouted!
