    July 14, 1918 20:50 Moscow Kremlin

    Although Bukharin's method was a bad idea, it also tested the bottom line of Ulyanov's view of Joseph and Tsaritsin's forced palace incident, which was to try to resolve differences and use the most drastic means to counter Joseph's personal hatred of Soviet Union.  The challenges faced by the Russian Central Committee cannot simply be discussed and resolved in terms of the contradiction between ourselves and the enemy.

    "Vladimir Ilyich said it right. Comrade Joseph's mistakes are essentially different from the rebellion of the left-wing Socialist Revolutionary Party Muravyov. The people of Tsaritsyn and the commanders and fighters of the Southern Front and Comrade Joseph  Personal mistakes must be distinguished, let alone using unconventional means. It is absolutely not advisable to use the Cheka to take action against leaders at the level of Central Committee members!¡±

    Trotsky also stared at Bukharin with a fierce face, frightening the guy a little. Obviously, the two big bosses of the Soviet Central Committee completely disapproved of Bukharin's bad idea.

    "However, if it drags on, there will be no end to this. The deadline given to us by the Ufa coalition is that we must respond before midnight today. If Moscow does not accept the cession of the land south of Saratov, including Tsaritsyn,  In the lower reaches of the Volga River, the Ufa coalition will be able to cross the river and move westward tomorrow!" Kamenev brought the topic back to the urgent matters.

    Ulyanov and Trotsky were both stunned when they heard this. Only then did they realize that the topic they had just discussed had gone to nowhere. They came back in a big circle. First, they faced the ultimatum from the Ufa coalition.  War is peace?

    If you really want to negotiate an armistice and buy time, you must meet the demands of the Ufa coalition and cede the land south of Saratov. Obviously, as long as Joseph is still in control of Tsaritsyn, the condition is that Moscow agrees, and Tsaritsyn  Tianjin could not agree with it either, and the result was still a wasted effort.

    The Central Committee of Soviet Russia in Moscow cannot respond shyly to the Ufa Allied Forces: Well, we accept the conditions you proposed, but the local leaders of Tsaritsyn do not accept it, and neither does the Southern Front. So, how should Saratov be treated?  If you can get it from Nan, you still have to figure it out on your own?  This is obviously a joke.

    "As I see it, with the defeat of the Battle of Ufa, the Eastern Front lost four-fifths of its troops and the Southern Front lost one-third of its troops. Under such circumstances, neither front will be able to stand alone in a short period of time.  Resist the offensive of the Ufa coalition¡±

    Kamenev never forgets that he wants to be the commander of the front army. This guy actually has a lot of research on military issues. In Wang Geng¡¯s previous life, Kamenev was transferred back to Moscow in Vacetis and worked in vain.  After becoming the Commander-in-Chief of All Russia, he indeed became the commander of the Eastern Front.

    However, in that era of war-torn wars and ever-changing situations, the composition of the Soviet Russian front army was constantly changing, and the front army commanders were also constantly changed. Some guys with short tenures only served for less than 2 months.

    "I think the analysis of the first half of Tsaritsyn's telegram is quite pertinent. Although the enemy has a huge advantage now, it is not invulnerable. If we follow the method mentioned in the first half of the telegram, after obtaining weapons and ammunition  After the addition, the Soviet Red Army is still confident of blocking the enemy's offensive, but the top priority is to do everything possible to stop the war first!" Sverdlov said while lighting a cigarette.

    "The situation is obvious. No matter how high Tsaritsyn's tone is or how confident he is, it is definitely not the right choice to continue fighting with the Ufa coalition at this time. I suggest that the Central Committee of the Soviet Union first unify  This idea is that peace talks with the Ufa coalition are a top priority. For this reason, it is acceptable to cede the area south of Saratov and Tsaritsyn. Is there any objection? "

    Ulyanov obviously intends to cut the knot quickly, otherwise the meeting will not be able to end due to the confusion, and the coalition forces may cross the river tomorrow!

    "agree!"

    "Agree!"

    Several members of the Central Committee present here have obviously reached an agreement, that is, negotiating a peace and truce is the first priority, and cannot be led by Tsaritsin. Otherwise, if so many harsh conditions put forward by Joseph are not met, the war will still be lost.  Go down, but the responsibility was passed to the Central Committee of Soviet Russia by Joseph!

    "Very good! Then it's decided. This is the joint decision of the Central Committee of the Soviet Union and the Supreme Revolutionary Military Council. Negotiate peace with the Ufa Allied Forces and agree to cede the area south of Saratov-Kursk. In this area  To the north, the two sides ceased fighting with the Volga River! Just reply to the Ufa coalition, no need to wait until midnight! Everyone is so thin after staying up all night! "

    With a wave of Ulyanov¡¯s hand, the decision to negotiate peace with the Ufa coalition was confirmed.

    "Comrade Trotsky, how about this reply to the Ufa Allied Forces?" Ulyanov turned around and asked for final advice.?Opinions of the Chairman of the High Revolutionary Military Committee.

    "I think it's okay. You agree to the other party's conditions first, and there are many details left that can be worked out. The two sides send representatives to each other, where to formally launch negotiations, etc., and finally draw up the terms, sign a contract, cease war, and a lot of other things. It will take time.  There are still many ways, but the top priority is not to give the coalition forces a reason or excuse to cross the river."

    Trotsky nodded and agreed with Ulyanov¡¯s decision. Of course, the surrounding Central Committee members would not object. Dzerzhinsky got up and went to the telegraph room to return a call to the Ufa Allied Forces.

    The next discussion here was how to solve the Tsaritsyn problem. Several Central Committee members talked for a long time. In the end, they felt that as long as Joseph could be brought from Tsaritsyn to Moscow, everything would be easy. Otherwise, he would just return the  In the posts of military commissar of the North Caucasus Military District and the Southern Front, and in Tsaritsyn and the Southern Front, he is the one who dominates the sky, and no one else can replace him.

    The second problem faced by the Central Committee of Soviet Russia is how to convince the local comrades in Tsaritsyn and the Southern Front to withdraw north to Saratov according to the unified arrangements of the Central Committee of Soviet Russia. The two sides of the Southern Front  Although most of the main force of this group army came from Tsaritsyn and the lower Volga region, the middle and senior generals were all members of several units that had withdrawn from Ukraine to Ukraine that was in the Caucasus.

    After they lost their homeland in Ukraine, they finally followed Comrade Joseph to create another world in Tsaritsyn. Now they have to abandon the Tsaritsyn base and retreat north. Can the thoughts of the commanders and soldiers of the Southern Front at all levels be clear?  It is still a worrying question. Perhaps Joseph took advantage of this and took advantage of the local power of the Southern Front and Tsaritsyn to challenge the Central Committee of Soviet Russia.

    "I think it is feasible to establish the Volga Military District and the Volga Front. We negotiate a peace truce with the Ufa Allied Forces. This does not mean that we will lay down our weapons and let others slaughter us. We are just trying to buy time to rebuild and replenish the Soviet Red Army in the east.  the main force.¡±

    Trotsky¡¯s sudden words made the Central Committee members present brighten their eyes. After all, he was the founder of the Soviet Red Army and never compromised easily in the struggle against the enemy. This made the atmosphere in the conference room suddenly more exciting.

    "I agree with Comrade Trotsky. To establish the Volga Military District and the Volga Front, the Eastern Front and the Southern Front must be integrated into the new front. In this way, the commander of Tsaritsyn's Southern Front  , their original demands were realized.

    This also shows that Moscow attaches great importance to and recognizes their opinions. After the Volga Military District and the Front were established, the comrades of the Southern Front had no reason to cling to Tsaritsin.

    By then we can station the main force of the Volga Front on the Sezlan line on the Samara side, so that it is convenient to use troops in both the north and south directions, and there will be railway support for troop mobilization and logistics transportation!  "Sverdlov walked to the big map hanging on the wall and said while gesturing.

    "Well said! Very good! Now, everyone is confident. We will establish the Volga Military District and the Volga Front. However, for the time being, we can only reluctantly part ways with the areas south of Saratov-Kursk, including Tsaritsyn.  Give it to the coalition, otherwise I think the Chinese king of the Ufa coalition will be difficult to deal with, and he may offer a higher price if he continues!"

    The Chairman of the Central Committee of the Soviet Union was obviously in high spirits at this moment. He suddenly realized that if Trotsky could support him unreservedly like Sverdlov every time, it would still be useful.  Are you worried that the coalition forces will come over or Joseph will challenge the central government? What is the Chinese saying?  Brothers working together can be as powerful as gold!

    Ulyanov, Trotsky and Sverdlov were almost the three highest-ranking people in the Central Committee of the Soviet Union. After singing together, the atmosphere in the entire Kremlin conference room suddenly became very relaxed.  Well, everyone was chatting and laughing and was obviously in a much better mood than before.

    "But if the Volga Military District and the Volga Front are established, and Comrade Joseph does not serve as the military commissar, who will be sent to take on this important task?" Kamenev had always wanted to be the commander of the front and take charge of his own affairs, and he finally couldn't help it.  Speak up.

    "Vatsedis is the commander of the Eastern Front and Sergin is the commander of the Southern Front. How about choosing one of them? Or one should be the commander of the front and the other a military commissar?" People's Commissar of Propaganda of the Soviet Central Committee, "  Bukharin, editor-in-chief of Pravda, came up with a seemingly good idea.

    Ulyanov and Trotsky both raised their brows when they heard this, looked at each other, then looked away, and were silent for a while. Obviously, things were not that simple.
