    "Kamenev, what are you talking about? We have a life-and-death relationship with Kolchak and the White Guards. According to what you say, if we recognize the legitimacy of the All-Russian Provisional Government of Kolchak's gang, then our Soviet regime will  What to do? Do you want to split the Russian motherland?¡±

    Bukharin, the People's Propaganda Commissar of the Soviet Central Committee and the editor-in-chief of Pravda, jumped up again. Playing with theory and criticizing others are his strengths, and based on his knowledge, progress and reaction, left and right are irreconcilable classes.  contradiction!

    Kamenev ignored Bukharin, but turned to look at Ulyanov and Trotsky seriously and said, "Since we have even given up recognizing their independence from the lands and peoples of Poland, Ukraine, and Belarus.  , so in order to defend our regime and save the current crisis, what if we temporarily abandon the right bank of the Volga River!¡±

    After hearing this, Ulyanov frowned and was speechless for a moment, while Trotsky pinched his waist and turned around in the conference room. This was by no means the time to slap the hat and wave the stick. Solving the current predicament was the top priority.  , not to mention what Kamenev said is not unreasonable.

    Russia has lost so much land and people in the past six months, not to mention that the right bank of the Volga River was originally occupied by the coalition forces and Kolchak's All-Russian Autonomous Government. The so-called expediency and delaying measures are nothing more than packaging and beautifying the reality, so as to  Buy yourself time and space!

    "Kamenev's suggestion is very good. We have even given up on Ukraine and Belarus. What if Kazan and Ufa on the right bank of the Volga River give up again? Petrograd, Moscow and Tsaritsyn, the heart of Mother Russia, are still there.  In our hands!" Zinoviev supported Kamenev from the side.

    ¡°Recognizing the legitimacy of Kolchak¡¯s gang will bring unpredictable results. You must know that both Krasnov and Denikin in the Caucasus recognized Kolchak as the top executive of the All-Russian Provisional Government!

    If we recognize the Kolchak regime on the right bank of the Volga River, what will happen to the Krasnov and Denikin gangs in the North Caucasus and Don River Basin?  Did you admit it too?  What about the North Caucasus?  What about the Crimean Peninsula?  Did you also give up together?  "

    Ulyanov felt a little heavy and felt that this issue was obviously very difficult. If one mistake was not made, it would cause a chain reaction, and the Soviet Russian regime could completely collapse from within.

    "Since we have given up so many places, so what if we just gave up the North Caucasus? When we become stronger, we will find a way to get it back!" Dzerzhinsky, who had been silent next to him, finally interjected.

    "What I'm worried about is that due to the disastrous defeat of the Eastern Front on the right bank of the Volga River, it is certain that we will be on the defensive on the Eastern Front in the short term. In this case, Kamenev's idea of ??using the Volga River as the boundary may not necessarily be applicable to the opponent.  I will agree, Kolchak only wants to come to Moscow!"

    Trotsky slowly shook his head and said, the chairman of the Supreme Revolutionary Military Council not only did not oppose Kamenev's suggestion, but believed that this bargaining chip was not enough to impress the other party.

    As soon as these words came out, the faces of the Central Committee members present changed a little. Bukharin jumped up angrily, waved his hands and shouted,

    "Comrades! Members of the Central Committee! I have to remind you that the positions and thoughts of some people have slipped to a place less than fifty meters away from the Left Socialist Revolutionaries, Mensheviks and Constitutionalists! It is very dangerous to continue like this. I am not here  It¡¯s alarmist, if this continues, we will strangle ourselves to death before the enemy can tighten the noose around our necks!¡±

    "Quiet! Bukharin! Can just shouting slogans and being a radical leftist save our doctrine and cause? Just be quiet and sit down! Don't affect everyone's thinking!" Ulyanov scolded angrily.  road.

    "Comrade Trotsky is right. Kolchak is not that easy to deal with. He wants to completely eliminate us. It is absolutely impossible for us to peacefully coexist with his All-Russian Provisional Government. Both sides  The hatred for land and bread cannot be resolved by a peace agreement!" Zinoviev frowned.

    "The Volga River is our bottom line. If Kolchak and the coalition forces still insist on crossing the river, then what is the point of us negotiating and signing a peace treaty? After crossing the Volga River, it will be a flat plain, and the enemy will soon be able to advance to Moscow and  Tsaritsyn, how can the Soviet government survive?¡±

    Ulyanov waved his hand fiercely and said, "You must not open the door to kill the thief, otherwise the science and education will lose his wife and lose the army, and you will no longer be a human being inside and outside. This is really what Bukharin said, he will do it himself"  The noose around his neck tightened.

    "I don't know whether Kolchak will cross the river, but the coalition forces will definitely cross the river!" Zinoviev said this suddenly and shockingly.

    "What? Start"What a joke?  What basis do you have?  If they have to cross the river anyway, what's the point of negotiating?  Do you think this is two neighbor kids playing house?  "Bukharin couldn't help but continued to jump out and shout.

    This time Ulyanov and Trotsky did not interrupt him. The two bosses of the Soviet Central Committee felt a little bit in their hearts, looked at each other, and then turned their attention to Zinoviev.  Wait for him to continue.

    "As we all know, the warring parties in the European War started this war for their own interests and division of spoils. For Russia, which is in the core of the Upper Garden of Europe, it is impossible to be alone. It must either join forces with the German and Austrian Allies, or with the United States and Britain.  There is no other way out for the French-dominated Allied Powers to join forces!¡±

    Zinoviev frowned deeply and began to brainwash his colleagues on the Central Committee.

    "Who said that? Didn't we withdraw from the European war by armistice with Germany and Austria alone before? Who said we have to join one of them?" Bukharin argued.

    "That is just our best wish. Even if we have paid such a huge price of territory and resources to negotiate peace with Germany and Austria, at present, we still cannot stay away from this war alone. Even if the Allies and the Allies can allow us to do so,  They don't dare to agree!" Zinoviev said with a slap in his face.

    "Why? Comrade Zinoviev, please speak more clearly and don't show off. This is urgent. You are too slow to be coherent!" Bukharin urged, stamping his feet.

    Ulyanov and Trotsky listened to the conversation between the two men with their brows furrowed.

    "Because no one can be sure that when we grow stronger, we will still remain neutral and look at this war impartially. For Germany and Austria, they have snatched such vast territory and resources from Russia through peace negotiations and armistice treaties. He  I¡¯m worried that we will settle accounts with him when we become stronger!¡±

    "For the Allied Powers, the Allied Powers provided huge military loans to the Tsarist Russian government during the previous four years of war. The Mosin-Nagant rifles of the Tsarist Russian army were mainly produced with the help of American arsenals, and most of the arms payments have been repaid.  There is no payment for what is owed, not to mention the astronomical amounts of Tsarist Russian bonds held by the governments and consortiums of the Allied Powers.¡±

    Zinoviev sighed and continued, "Only if the Allies continue to tie us to their tanks can these debts have a chance to be paid off. One of the important reasons why we lost the support of the Allies was to announce the abolition of the Tsarist Russian government.  All foreign debts owed.

    "And the All-Russian Provisional Government of Kolchak vowed to inherit all the claims and debts of the Tsarist Russian government, as long as the Allied Powers support and recognize his regime as the legitimate government of Russia."

    Before Zinoviev finished speaking, Bukharin waved his hands and continued to shout, "We abolish all treaties, covenants, debts and loans between Tsarist Russia and the imperialist countries. This is an established policy that must not be changed. We are the party of the revolution that overthrew the tsarist rule.  Bolsheviks, we are not opportunists and traitors like the Left Socialist Revolutionaries and Mensheviks!¡±

    Ulyanov reached out to Bukharin and made a shut-up gesture to stop the chatter of the editor-in-chief of "Pravda".

    "Zinoviev, you said that the Allied Forces must cross the river, is it because they want to fight Germany and Austria on the Eastern Front? In order to alleviate the passive situation of the Allied Powers on the Western Front?" Trotsky was so blessed that he suddenly heard it.  Zinoviev meant something beyond his words.

    Ulyanov raised his eyebrows and touched his shiny forehead to understand a little bit.

    "According to my judgment, it is indeed true, Comrade Trotsky, the purpose of the Allied Powers' appearance west of the Ural Mountains is not to gain territory for Kolchak. It is just a matter of catching grass and rabbits. I guess the Allied Powers  After forming an alliance, China and Japan have become powerful forces that cannot be underestimated in the East, but it is obviously unrealistic for them to go to the Western Front to fight on the French battlefield across the ocean! "

    "So you think the coalition forces dispatched to the west of the Ural Mountains are mainly to rush to the Eastern Front to fight the Allies?" Ulyanov asked.

    "We are inseparable from each other, but since the Soviet Russian government and Germany and Austria have ceased war and even privately have the intention of strategic cooperation and alliance, this means that the Allied forces must first solve our obstacle before they can free up their hands to fight Germany and Austria.  !" Zinoviev nodded.

    "This is really fucking difficult. We can't afford to offend Germany and Austria now, and we can't afford to offend the coalition forces in Ufa. If this continues, even the White Guards will ride on us! What should we do?  !" Comrade Ulyanov cursed again in a hurry.

    "Germany and Austria are at least still being restrained by the Allied forces on the Western Front, and they will not be able to defeat them for a while. If the Ufa coalition forces are determined to support Kolchak, they will be able to reach the city within a month at the latest.Come to Moscow!  Kamenev sighed.

    "Even if China and Japan are in alliance, do they have enough strength to fight against Germany and Austria after traveling thousands of miles here? It is not possible to fight the Allies with hundreds of thousands or hundreds of thousands of troops. Japan is only a small country. Although China  The industrial base is so poor that they can only be regarded as giants with feet of clay. How can the armies of these two countries be qualified to fight against Ludendorff¡¯s main force?¡±

    Ulyanov had a look of doubt on his face. In his opinion, the Chinese and Japanese might have just come to the west of the Ural Mountains to meet the request of the three leaders of the Allied Powers, the United States, Britain and France. How many troops does China have in the whole country?  How many troops are there in the entire Japan?  Do you have the confidence and strength to fight the Allies with real swords and guns?

    "How many troops are there in Ufa's coalition? Do they have the ability to fight to the Eastern Front?" Ulyanov asked Dzerzhinsky suspiciously.

    Dzerzhinsky blushed. The work carried out by the Chekas on the Eastern Front was far inferior to that of the Chekas on the Southern Front supported by Joseph. In addition to counter-revolutionaries, intelligence work was also an important part of the secret force of the Cheka. However,  Very limited news could be brought back from the right bank of the Volga.

    "The Japanese Army only has 20 standing divisions, of which there are at least five or six divisions that have been abolished. It is estimated that the opponent's active army has at most 300,000 people. The new Chinese war army created by the King of China,  About 20 to 30 divisions were formed in a year, and the total number may be 600 to 900,000 people!" Zinoviev said at the side.

    "You said this last time. I mean how many people are deployed by the coalition forces on both sides of the Ural Mountains right now? How many coalition forces did they annihilate more than 200,000 of our troops on the Ufa battlefield? Jer.  Rensky, you are in charge of intelligence work, haven¡¯t you figured this out yet?¡±

    Ulyanov was obviously a little anxious and yelled at Dzerzhinsky.

    "According to my judgment, the Ufa Allied Forces have integrated Russian, Chinese and Japanese troops under unified command. Judging from the opponent's battle report, the Russian troops that originally belonged to the White Guards should have at least eight infantry divisions and one cavalry division. As for  The size of the Chinese and Japanese troops in the coalition is hard to say." It was Trotsky who stepped forward to relieve the blushing Dzerzhinsky.
