    "Of course, the Soviet Red Army must be rebuilt. The Eastern Front and the Southern Front must reorganize and change their appearance and be armed with new weapons and advanced ideas in order to become the basis for defending the Soviet power. But Comrade Chairman, the question now is, how do we reply to Ufa?  Is the coalition¡¯s ultimatum an agreement to the armistice conditions proposed by the other party last time?¡±

    Trotsky frowned deeply and directly brought the topic to the ultimatum of the coalition. In his opinion, this was probably the last time the coalition extended an olive branch to Moscow. Instead, he was the Chinese king of the Ufa coalition.  After annihilating the main force of the Soviet Red Army on the right bank of the Volga River, especially the Yegorov Group Army of the Southern Front, there was no reason not to impose more stringent conditions on the opponent.

    "Comrade Trotsky, I still suspect that the coalition forces are playing tricks. How likely is it that the Yegorov Group Army will be wiped out in half a day? Even if there are 42,000 pigs there, it will not be easy to catch them, right?  Moreover, the weather on the right bank of the Volga River was always bad, and the Ufa Allied Air Force was unable to dispatch at all. How did they fight this battle? "

    Bukharin stopped circling around the conference room and shouted while breathing heavily.

    At this time, Sdelviev also stood up and said, "I asked Comrade Dzerzhinsky just now whether it is possible that the Ufa Allied Forces only cracked the code for the first-level configuration of the Soviet Red Army Group Army, and what about the differences between the various armies?  Everyone knows the wavelength and call sign of the other party's radio station.

    Is it possible that the coalition forces learned the wavelength call signs and passwords used by the Ninth Army from captured radio stations of other army groups, radio transceivers, and translators, and then pretended to be the Ninth Army's radio station and sent us this final report?  An ultimatum to make us believe that Yegorov and his main army have been completely wiped out?  "

    Seeing this, Dzerzhinsky stood up quickly and continued, "The situation Comrade Sdervyov said is possible. The other party may just borrow the wavelength call sign of the Ninth Army. Of course, it depends on  , when I received this telegram just now, the sending method of the other party¡¯s radio operator was the familiar fingering method of the radio operator of the Ninth Army Radio Station that we are familiar with.¡±

    "Didn't you say that the telegram was sent by the Allied Forces Headquarters in Ufa? Buzuluk is at least 400 kilometers away from Ufa. Even if Yegorov's 9th Army was completely wiped out in Buzuluk, the radio and cipher transceivers would interpret the telegram.  If all the members are in the hands of the coalition forces, they have no reason to go around and send the report from Buzuluk, right? So it doesn¡¯t make sense to listen to the other party¡¯s method of sending the report!¡±

    Kamenev obviously thought quickly and pointed out the flaws in Dzerzhinsky's method.

    Dzerzhinsky was startled when he heard this, slapped his forehead and said, "Comrade Kamenev is right. If so, the truth cannot be judged just by the operator's fingering. It is very likely that this telegram is a conspiracy."  The French Allied Forces used their own radio stations and transmitters to send out the message."

    "What the hell is this? Sdervyov, hurry up and send a report to Tsaritsin, asking the Southern Front to verify the whereabouts of the Yegorov Group Army as soon as possible. If you want to see people alive or dead, you must see corpses. In addition, send the allied forces'  The ultimatum was told to Joseph, I don¡¯t care about anything else, just ask Joseph and the Committee of Former Enemies of the Southern Front to answer me a question!¡±

    Ulyanov was sweating on his forehead. He was pacing back and forth in front of everyone, with his hands behind his back, shouting. Several Central Committee members were stunned when they heard this. Trotsky couldn't help but ask,

    "Comrade Ulyanov, what question do you want Tsaritsyn to answer?"

    "Well, that's it. The telegram sent to the Tsaritsyn Southern Front must emphasize that if the Ufa coalition begins to cross the river tomorrow, who will guard the Volga River? Who will defend Tsaritsyn? Who will surround Moscow? That's it, they are limited to 1  Reply within the hour!" Ulyanov stretched out his right hand, drew a circle in the air with his index finger, and said decisively.

    "Comrade Chairman, this is not one question, but three questions, okay?" Bukharin muttered quietly from the side.

    "Does this matter? Does this matter? Bukharin, I think you are out of your mind. Is this a matter of several questions? In the final analysis, it is one question. If we continue to fight and negotiate for peace, who will defend the Soviets tomorrow? Just  Send a telegram like this and give them one hour to reply!" Ulyanov couldn't help but waved his hands and roared.

    July 14, 1918 19:30 Tsaritsyn Soviet Southern Front Headquarters

    "Comrade Joseph and Comrade Sergin have just received a telegram from Moscow, with a very stern tone. The Ufa Allied Forces Command has immediately informed Moscow of the annihilation of Yegorov Group Army, and has given the final warning to the Central Committee of Soviet Russia.  Ultimatum, if we are not prepared to negotiate an armistice, the Ufa coalition will cross the Volga River tomorrow!"

    The Chief of Staff of the Southern Front, Gidis, was sweating profusely and burst into the conference room with the telegram he had just received. An hour and a half ago, Yegorov sent the finalA secret message: The main force of the group army had run out of ammunition and food, nearly half of its casualties were lost, and it was surrounded by the enemy's superior forces. There was no hope of breaking out. In order to preserve its strength, the group army's former enemy's Revolutionary Military Committee held an emergency meeting and voted to pass a resolution to lay down their weapons and surrender to the coalition forces.  Notified hereby.

    After receiving the telegram, the big bosses of the Southern Front could not believe their eyes. Just in the morning, the telegram from Yegorov was still high-spirited, saying that the main force of the group army, with more than 42,000 infantry and cavalrymen in six divisions, had successfully crossed the border.  After crossing the Buzuluk River, there was no resistance from the coalition forces. After taking Buzuluk, I was ready to jump out of the coalition encirclement and fight back to the left bank of the Volga River!

    But no matter how many times he called the radio station of the Ninth Army, there was no reply. I don¡¯t know whether Yegorov destroyed the radio station or what happened to the dispatcher and translator. Anyway, no matter how I initiated the call request, the other party¡¯s radio station was no longer available.  News, 42,000 people ran out of ammunition and food in one day and were surrounded. Then they laid down their weapons and surrendered?

    Is this something Yegorov can do?  Comrade Joseph broke the pipe in his hand angrily. Commander Sergin of the Southern Front felt shuddering. Chief of Staff Gidis was obviously at a loss. Yegorov was a popular man promoted by Trotsky.  , and the Ninth Army can indeed be regarded as the main army of the Southern Front.

    Is this going to be wiped out?  The Southern Front headquarters then argued for a long time about the authenticity of the telegram. The telegram was signed by the Military Committee of the Former Enemies of the Ninth Army instead of the usual Egorov of the Ninth Army.  Everyone in the Southern Front had the basis to doubt the authenticity of the telegram.

    Commander of the Eighth Army Chernawin and Political Commissar Lyubimov, Commander of the Tenth Army Voroshilov and Political Commissar Klyuyev, as well as members of the Central Committee, Chairman of the Tsaritsyn Soviet, and members of the Military Commission of the North Caucasus Military District  Bubnov was quickly summoned back to the headquarters of the Southern Front.

    At this time, telegrams from Moscow arrived one after another. Telegrams from the Ufa Allied Forces confirmed that Yegorov's Ninth Army had been completely wiped out. Not only that, the remainder of Tukhachevsky's First Army of the Eastern Front had also been completely wiped out.  Annihilation, and as it should be mentioned in the telegram, the Soviet Red Army's last crossing on the right bank of the Volga River, Bolgar on the other side of Techuhi, has also been lost. At this time, the main force of the Soviet Red Army on the right bank of the Volga River has almost been lost.

    "Comrade Joseph, Moscow wants us to confirm whether the Yegorov Ninth Army has been encircled and annihilated in the town of Buzuluk as the Ufa coalition said. It also asks us who will come tomorrow if we do not stop fighting and negotiate peace.  Guard the Volga River? Who will defend Tsaritsyn and who will defend Moscow?" said Gidis, Chief of Staff of the Southern Front.

    "What kind of parallelism are you talking about? It's all nonsense. In the final analysis, it's just one question: who will defend the Soviet tomorrow! I said Comrade Sergin, why didn't you report it to Moscow earlier? Instead, Moscow knew about Yegoro first from the enemies of the Ufa Allied Forces.  The outcome of the Husband Army is simply a slap in the face to the Southern Front and us Tsaritsin!¡±

    Bubnov, a member of the Central Committee, said angrily from the sidelines. Although this guy was not mentally prepared for the main force of Yegorov's army to be wiped out in one day, he was even more disgusted with Joseph and Sergin's attempt to hide the bad news from Moscow.  There was no immediate report on Moscow¡¯s decentralist and mountainous behavior.

    "Comrade Bubnov, the situation has changed too fast. Yegorov's troops are not bad in strength and combat effectiveness. How come they can't hold on for a day? This is so surprising! We were still arguing about whether  It was a trick played by the Ufa coalition, so I didn't dare to believe it for a while, let alone report it to Moscow!" Sergin, the commander of the Southern Front, blushed and took the initiative to take responsibility for Joseph.

    In fact, after receiving the last telegram from Yegorov, Sergin advocated reporting to Moscow as soon as possible and suggested that the Southern Front and Tsaritsin should review the previous night's agreement not to abandon Tsaritsin.  , a strategy to fight the coalition forces.

    But Joseph obviously couldn't turn around for a while. Yesterday, the Southern Front and Tsaritsyn were beating their chests and swearing that they could defend the Volga River, the south of Saratov and Tsaritsyn, but they suffered such a blow in less than 24 hours.  To turn 180 degrees, Joseph felt that his face could not be improved.

    The result of losing face was that Joseph, Sergin, and Gidis were entangled in the authenticity of Yegorov's telegram, which wasted time. Now that the telegram from Moscow came, everyone gave up completely. Yegorov  There is no doubt that the army group will be destroyed.

    For Tsaritsyn, the Southern Front and Joseph, the most critical question now is, what to do next?  How to answer Moscow¡¯s question!
