    July 13, 1918 19:05 Ufa Allied Forces Headquarters

    "Reporting to the Commander-in-Chief, the telecommunications room once again received a telegram from Moscow on the radio communication frequency of the Soviet Southern Cluster. The other party claimed to be the radio station of the Supreme Revolutionary Military Committee of the Soviet Union in Moscow, requesting peace talks with our followers! And asked us as soon as possible  Reply!" Operation Staff Officer Sasaki Kojiro reported holding a telegram.

    "Aha, this is new, Your Excellency Commander-in-Chief, I didn't expect that as soon as our two press releases of the Ufa war report were released like this, Moscow would really lose its composure!" said the deputy chief of staff of the coalition and the original Third Army  Army General Taro Utsunomiya, the commander in chief, said cheerfully.

    Wang Geng smiled and lit the cigar in his hand, and took a deep puff. The war room was filled with the delicious aroma of Havana cigars. Taro Utsunomiya had quit smoking for more than half a year, otherwise he would not let the commander-in-chief of the coalition forces go.  This high-quality cigar costs ten dollars a piece in Manhattan, New York.

    "Your Excellency, Commander-in-Chief, how do we reply to each other? Do we need to report to the country that we have obtained authorization for negotiation?" the deputy chief of staff of the coalition couldn't help but said a little anxiously.

    "What kind of war should we stop? Even if we agree, Kolchak and the group of White Guard generals, big capitalists and big landowners who follow him will not agree unless the Soviet Russian regime gives up their doctrine and class struggle throughout Russia.  Theory, give up their agrarian revolution, otherwise these two waves of old men will not be able to pee in the same pot!"

    Wang Geng said unhurriedly, while asking Sasaki, deputy director of the war room, "Have Yegorov and Tukhachevsky not been found yet? Have the Hawkeye early warning aircraft returned?"

    "Reporting to Your Majesty the Commander-in-Chief, the weather has not cleared up, the clouds are still thick, and it started to rain lightly just now. Hawkeye 1, 2, 3, and 4 have all returned, and the Soviet Ninth Army and the Soviet Ninth Army were not found from the air.  Traces of the remnants of an army group." Sasaki stood at attention and replied.

    "This damn weather is really troublesome. Where is the sixth Colonel Hata Shun now?" Wang Geng asked with a frown.

    "Colonel Shunroku Hata successfully airborne near Kumeltau at 2:30 this afternoon. At 3:00, he commanded the main force of the Japanese 4th Cavalry Regiment to set off northward to search and advance from Kumertau. Before evening, he received a call saying that they had arrived in Saravat.  No trace of the Soviet Red Army has been found in Klimovka, 20 kilometers south." Sasaki's answer was very capable.

    "Shunroku is very impatient. The roads are muddy in this damn weather. The cavalry traveled nearly 60 kilometers in three hours. I hope they didn't let Tukhachevsky escape this time!" Utsunomiya Taro's tone  Obviously, he is very satisfied with the drive of Shunroku Hata. The glory of the Imperial Army depends on the hard work and struggle of such soldiers.

    Wang Geng found the location of Klimovka from the one-fifty-thousandth battle map hanging on the wall. He didn't know when Sasaki had placed a small blue flag on it, and he patted himself in disbelief.  Head said,

    "Hey, it's here. I didn't notice it just now. Klimovka is less than 50 kilometers away from the town of Sterli Tamak in the north. The remainder of Tukhachevsky's First Army is an infantry division plus  If a cavalry regiment starts to retreat at 10 o'clock in the morning, it will take them 8 hours to cover the 50 kilometers, which is barely enough. How could they not be caught by Shunroku Hata? "

    ¡°As he spoke, Wang Geng carefully looked at the terrain south of the town of Stelli Tamak on the map, while concentrating on the possible countermeasures Tukhachevsky could take when retreating.

    "Your Excellency, Commander-in-Chief, perhaps Tukhachevsky has not yet retreated to where Yan Junliu and the others are. It rained heavily last night and the roads were so muddy. Moreover, Tukhachevsky's troops marched all night without sleeping.  They suffered a bloody blow in the town of Sterlitamark this morning. Their physical strength, energy and morale are all low. I'm afraid they won't be able to ask them to drive 50 kilometers today during the day."

    Taro Utsunomiya comforted his commander-in-chief of the coalition forces on the side. Of course he didn't need Shunroku Hata to fly over and risk all the trouble to land in the air, but in the end, after traveling so long, Tukhachevsky even escaped.

    "That's right. Look at the fortune of this boy Hata Shunroku. Of course, he also needs the cooperation of Tukhachevsky. He is at the end of his strength. If he continues to run around, he may not have the energy. He may be hiding in some woods.  Even if it¡¯s possible, let Colonel Hata worry about this matter. Sasaki, where is Wu Peifu¡¯s main force?¡±

    Wang Geng stopped worrying about the cat-and-mouse game between Hata Shunroku and Tukhachevsky and turned to ask Wu Peifu about the situation. At the same time, he was thinking about the so-called peace telegram from Moscow he had just received.

    "The two Russian infantry divisions of the First Siberian Army commanded by General Wu have been on the road for a day. Their current position is about 20 kilometers north of Red Mayak."?, their two infantry divisions traveled almost 100 kilometers today!  "Sasaki's voice was full of admiration and envy.

    "Has the Third Siberian Infantry Division arrived in Bafre?" Wang Geng looked at the small flag marking the third division on the map moving from Milna to Bafre, and turned around with a smile.

    "Yes, the collapsed area of ??the road from Milna to Bafre has been restored to traffic after emergency repairs by the Engineer Corps. However, because the road was muddy and the vehicles moved slowly, the division just arrived at Bafre before evening." Taro Utsunomiya said.  While explaining.

    "The Second Ural Cavalry Division has arrived at Melegen? Then they are really fast!" Wang Geng looked up and saw that the small flag of the Second Ural Cavalry Division, which was originally located at Nurrat, had been moved to Melegen in the west.  Gensi couldn't help but laugh.

    "Yes! The Second Ural Cavalry Division doesn't seem to have much to fight for, so it's very motivated to go west to the Volga River. They traveled nearly 80 kilometers this afternoon and moved very fast, but from Melegen  The 2nd Brigade of the 1st Ural Cavalry Division, which is planning to leave for Bolgat, is having some difficulty in making progress. The roads along the right bank of the Volga River have been washed away by rain. Their current position is "

    Utsunomiya narrowed his eyes and looked for it on the map. Here Sasaki quickly stepped forward and pointed to a place on the map and said, "This cavalry brigade is currently near Kuznechiha, which is still 50 kilometers away from Bolgar. It is expected to be tomorrow afternoon  Only then can we launch an attack on Bolgar"

    "Tell them not to worry. It's not too late to rest for half an hour before launching an attack in Bolgar. If the weather clears up tomorrow, the Ufa Air Force will provide them with air support. This battle is not difficult. The key is not to underestimate the enemy."  After Lavin crossed the river, in addition to leaving an infantry division, he also left three artillery companies there!" Wang Geng ordered.

    "Your Excellency, Commander-in-Chief, umhow are we going to reply to the peace telegram sent from Moscow, the Soviet Union? The other party said that they would keep their phones on 24 hours a day and maintain radio contact and communication with us until we reply," Sasaki asked hesitantly.

    "There is an old saying in China, which is that it is better to chase down the poor bandits with courage than to be a famous scholar. Do you two know this allusion?" Wang Geng was in a good mood and said to Utsunomiya and Sasaki in front of him with a smile.

    "I know this. It seems that Xiang Yu and Liu Bang were fighting for the world at that time. Xiang Yu would always let Liu Bang's disciples let him live. In the end, Liu Bang refused to let him go and defeated Xiang Yu. It seemed that he was teaching people to learn more from Liu Bang and not from Xiang Yu.  A woman's kindness, ah, I'm so reckless, please forgive me."

    Sasaki, who is good at Sinology and Chinese, was rushing to answer. After finishing speaking in one breath, he felt that he had stolen the limelight of Mr. Utsunomiya's performance, so he apologized hurriedly.

    "Well, don't worry about it, Sasaki, you are also a rare and outstanding talent in our Imperial Army Staff Headquarters, so don't belittle yourself!" Utsunomiya Taro smiled and comforted the deputy director of the war room.

    "Hahahaha, that's a good answer, Sasaki. Xiang Yu is much better at fighting than Liu Bang. He had 30,000 Chu cavalrymen who could defeat Liu Bang's 200,000 Han troops, but every time Liu Bang fell behind.  He began to beg his grandpa and grandma for peace talks, but Xiang Yu actually agreed every time, so the seeds of Chu Bawang's failure were finally planted," Wang Geng said with a smile.

    "Your Excellency, Commander-in-Chief, I understand! Our coalition forces must not be the overlords of Chu, and we must not be merciful to the enemy and let the tiger return to the mountains. Should we directly call Moscow back, reject their request for peace talks, and resolutely eliminate them along the way?  Fight to Moscow!" Sasaki clenched his fists and said with eyes shining.

    "It's not that simple. Don't rush to call back. You can go down first. I still have to think about this! Just let the radio station keep in touch with the other party 24 hours a day. Maybe the other party will have new telegrams." Wang Geng smiled and asked Sasaki first  Go and do your own thing.

    Sasaki nodded when he heard this. Knowing that Wang Geng wanted to discuss this matter with Utsunomiya, he withdrew and carefully closed the door of the war room before leaving.

    "Your Excellency, Commander-in-Chief, I would say that you don't have to pay any attention to these guys in Moscow. The most unpopular among old people is this group of people. They talk about class struggle all day long and encourage poor people to smash, loot, and burn in order to engage in violent revolution."  , The whole thing is destroying everything and overthrowing everything. We are incompatible with them and have nothing to talk about!"

    Utsunomiya Taro's attitude is very firm. In his opinion, the red polar bear of Soviet Russia is much more terrifying than the white polar bear of Tsarist Russia. The only way to defeat it once and for all is to resolutely defeat it and completely eliminate it.

    "The best strategy is to subjugate the enemy without fighting. Your Majesty Taro, Russia is really too big. No country in the world has the ability to fully occupy and digest such a large country and people, whether it is the Allies or the Entente.  , the most that can be done is to weaken this country." Wang Geng looked at the map on the wall and said thoughtfully."The Imperial Army Staff Headquarters has also analyzed and judged the situation after the October Revolution in Russia. It is almost impossible for them to lay down their arms. That little Ulyanov can conquer Finland, Lithuania, Estonia, Latvia, and Poland in one go.  , Belarus, Ukraine, Azerbaijan, and Georgia were all ceded in order to negotiate peace with Germany. The Soviet Union will never surrender to us unless the Soviet regime is overthrown! "

    Utsunomiya Taro¡¯s judgment is also the judgment of the Japanese Army General Staff Headquarters. In fact, Wang Geng also does not believe that the Soviet Russian regime will surrender. However, if more benefits and results can be obtained through negotiations, Wang Geng will never refuse easily.

    "UhI understand¡ÜYour Majesty CommanderThen what conditions do you plan to offer to the other party? The other party must be seeking disciples, a typical delaying tactic. They lost more than 200,000 main troops in the Ufa battle.  The remaining troops can't defend the Volga River, so they are so anxious to negotiate!" Utsunomiya Taro said with a grin.

    "I estimate that the other party can't defeat us across the river. As for the conditions they can offer, it may be that they cede the right bank of the Volga River!" Wang Geng narrowed his eyes and said.
