    "Okay, okay, there is no time to argue about this issue now. Anyway, we have to negotiate with the Chinese and Japanese governments to come up with the results. It would be best if the Chinese king of the Ufa-Ufa coalition is willing to implement it. Who should we send as our representative to negotiate?  Should we go to Ufa or Kazan? What is the bottom line of the negotiation?" Ulyanov waved his hands and gave in.

    "Chicherin, the People's Commissar of Foreign Affairs, is still in Berlin talking to Ludendorff about the issue of arms and food support. Comrade Joffe, the Deputy People's Commissar of Foreign Affairs, is now the representative of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Berlin. Which one of them can be transferred back to preside over  How are the negotiations going?" Trotsky suggested.

    "No, no, no, Comrade Trotsky, where are these things? Wait until they come back from Germany and rush to the right bank of the Volga River. I'm afraid the coalition forces have already crossed the river. Without further ado, we should send representatives directly from Moscow.  For negotiations on the Eastern Front, didn¡¯t Sdervyov just arrive in Syzran by train? I don¡¯t think there is any need to recruit him back, so I can directly ask him to contact the coalition forces that occupied Togliatti on the other side and ask for negotiations!¡± Kamenev said!  Got an idea.

    "I think we can use a two-pronged approach. On the one hand, we can use the radio call sign of the Eastern Front's Southern Cluster to obtain radio contact from the Ufa Allied Forces and request negotiations. Of course, the location can be determined by the other party. We can just send people there when the time comes. As long as the other party agrees to negotiate, we can  The Soviet Red Army is trying to buy time. Whether we can finally reach an agreement depends on the other party's asking price and the chips we can offer!" Zinoviev suggested.

    "Dzerzhinsky, go to the telecommunications room to handle this matter in person. Be sure to establish radio contact with the Ufa Allied Forces. Just say that Moscow is seeking consultations and negotiations with the Allied Powers. This matter is of great importance and requires the other party to reply as soon as possible! If you agree to sit down and talk,  , we demand that both sides stop all military operations on the right bank of the Volga River during the negotiations!" Ulyanov whispered to Trotsky for a few words, and when he nodded, he directly ordered the Cheka leader.

    Dzerzhinsky nodded upon hearing this and quickly left the conference room without saying a word.

    Here Bukharin muttered, "Pinning the hope of victory on the enemy's mercy is completely pie in the sky. Even if we concede and recognize Kolchak's regime and the Volga River as the boundary between the two sides, can Kolchak agree?"  Can the coalition completely control Kolchak to accept this agreement? "

    ¡°And Zinoviev, didn¡¯t you also say that the purpose of the coalition troops sending troops to the west of the Ural Mountains is to fight against the German and Austrian Allies on the Eastern Front, so they will definitely ask to cross the Volga River. What will we do then?  After opening the door to the thief, who has the ability to survive alone?

    And once the coalition forces cross the river, how can the Kolchak gang not follow them?  In my opinion, this is a life-and-death class struggle with no room for reconciliation or peacemaking. Once we open our mouth to make concessions now, it is likely that we will not be able to stop the enemy's footsteps, but will also shake the internal determination and will. The Bolshevik and Soviet regimes  All are in danger of collapsing and being subverted from within!

    Comrades!  Members of the Central Committee, I know you think I am sometimes extreme and only know how to shout slogans, but I think this time I really feel that Comrade Ulyanov and Trotsky made the wrong choice. We negotiated peace with Germany and Austria.  Now everyone has seen the results of seeking skin from a tiger.

    ¡°Once we make peace with the coalition forces, even if we, the Bolsheviks, are convinced, will the German and Austrian Allies agree?  If they set off huge waves to attack us again in the east, who will resist?  I am not being alarmist, everyone knows that the Allied Powers and the Central Powers have been fighting for four years to the point where no one can afford to lose!  "The more Bukharin spoke, the more excited his tone became, and he was very convincing!

    Bukharin's words once again aroused deep thought among the members of the Soviet Central Committee in the conference room. It must be said that life was really difficult for Russia, which was sandwiched between the Allied Powers of Germany and Austria and the Entente Powers of the United States, Britain, France, China, and Japan. Anyone who relied on it relied on the empire -  No one can escape the suspicion of being a capitulator and a peacemaker.

    Moreover, the situation was so complicated that although the United States participated in the war, Germany and Austria had seized a large amount of land, population, and resources from Russia on the Eastern Front, especially after negotiating an armistice with the Soviet Russian regime, which allowed Germany and Austria to avoid the war.  After fighting on two fronts, the Allies' hope of winning the final victory of the war was greatly enhanced.

    This is also one of the reasons why the Soviet Russian regime insists on armistice with Germany. Although it knows that Germany is unreliable, as long as the Germans stop attacking Soviet Russia, the Soviet Russian regime can buy time to slow down. Once the regime is consolidated from within  , judging from Russia¡¯s territory, territory, population and resource strength, no country can make Mother Russia surrender again.

    "Comrade Bukharin's opinion is not unreasonable. Once we negotiate an armistice with the Allied Powers and recognize Kolchak's regime, the Allied Powers will not stop marching westward. Germany and Austria are their ultimate goal, and it is likely that by then  The Allies are trying to drag us into the water and restart the war against Germany!" Ulyanov was a little awakened by Bukharin's words, and his tone was solemn.Heavy way.

    The members of the Soviet Central Committee present here all felt heavy after hearing this. They didn¡¯t know how to say it for a moment. The German army was the one who beat the main forces of the United States, Britain and France to the ground on the Western Front. The Soviet Russian regime would never fight with Germany at this time.  With the confidence to challenge others, starting a new war with Germany is now unthinkable.

    "In the peace talks with the Allied Powers, in addition to the difficulty of explaining the situation on the part of the German and Austrian Allies, the All-Russian Provisional Government of Kolchak is also a hurdle. How can the bourgeois landlords reconcile with our proletarian regime? Even if we admit the return of the land east of the Volga River,  Can Kolchak and the White Guard generals, capitalists, and landowners who follow him agree that the west bank of the Volga River belongs to us? Most of the land and houses of these landowners are on this side of the river!

    Those followers of Kolchak are always thinking about fighting back to their hometown. When the time comes, Kolchak agrees to demarcate the border and rule. Can Krasnov and Denikins in the south agree?  Moreover, Saratov and Tsaritsyn both straddle the Volga River, especially Tsaritsyn. If the other party wants us to hand over Tsaritsyn, can we agree?  "Bukharin's brain works very well when he is sober, which raises the possibility of sequelae caused by the peace talks.

    "Zinoviev, didn't you say that west of the Ural Mountains is the Ufa Allied Forces' King of China who has the final say? Without the support of the Allied Powers, Kolchak's regime would have been wiped out long ago. With regard to the armistice and peace talks, how can the King of China have the final say?  Can't you deal with Kolchak and his regime?" Ulyanov turned around and kicked the ball to Zinoviev's feet.

    ¡°This issue doesn¡¯t matter, it¡¯s better if it¡¯s not settled!¡± Trotsky, who had been circling in the conference room with his hands behind his back, stopped and said astonishingly.

    "How do you say this? Comrade Trotsky, don't half-speak. What time has it been? Hurry up, why is it best to settle the matter?" Ulyanov's mind was so messed up at this moment that he almost lost his senses.  The ability to think, he said blankly.

    "No matter how elite the White Guards of the Kolchak gang are, they can at most be evenly matched with our Soviet Red Army. As long as the Ufa Allied Forces agree to a ceasefire, we will be free to lick our wounds, rebuild and replenish the Eastern Front Army and the Southern Front Army. If Gao  If Kolchak does not accept the armistice arranged by the coalition, he will definitely not be able to get the support of the Allied Powers and the coalition. Then we can get back the losses we suffered from the coalition from Kolchak!" Trotsky said coldly!  .

    "Yes! And as long as there is internal strife between the Kolchak gang and the Allied Forces, either they will fight or we will fight! Why not? The more chaotic they are, the better, and the less they can reach a consensus, the better!  "Kamenev's eyes lit up and he said from the side.

    "Is it really that simple? The Ufa coalition promised us a ceasefire on one side, and said it couldn't deal with Kolchak's troops on the other. Then, just like in Orenburg, Ural and Samara, they were obviously the main force of the coalition, but they  The flag of the Ashra Autonomous Republic of Kazakhstan suddenly appeared on the battlefield and gave us a fatal blow."

    Ulyanov was a little uneasy at this time. In his opinion, the Ufa coalition was the most cunning enemy the Soviet Red Army had ever faced, and it would be better to be more cautious.
