    The Chairman of the Central Committee of the Soviet Union kicked the ball to the feet of Trotsky, Chairman of the Supreme Revolutionary Military Commissar. His attitude could not be described as insincere. Apparently, Trotsky and Ulyanov had reached an agreement on the adjustment of Comrade Joseph's position before.  They joined hands to sing a double act, and the two sides finally reached a compromise on the issue of prisoners of war // Net //

    So now, the personnel of the proposed Volga Military District and the Volga Front have become the focus of attention of various factions within the Central Committee. In Ulyanov's view, the first move is controlled by others, and the last move can control others. What's more, the trust  Lodsky is basically the chairman of the Supreme Military Council, which is in charge of the military. It is a safer way for him to first propose people and then carefully consider the balance.

    When Ulyanov said this, Trotsky remained silent, but Sverdlov and Kamenev¡¯s eyes lit up next to him.

    Sverdlov is both the People's Commissar of the Organization of the Central Committee of the Soviet Union and the Vice Chairman of the Supreme Military Council. The last time this guy went to take over as the commander of the Southern Cluster, he ended up running out of time. It stands to reason that Sverdlov will lead the Volga that will be established.  The River Military District and the Front Army are the logical best candidates.

    Although the discussion is about the leader of the Volga Military District and the Front Army, all the Central Committee members present here know very well that if this candidate is not impeccable in all aspects, it is possible that Comrade Joseph, who was kidnapped back to Moscow, will go berserk.  The sex is quite strong, we must choose a candidate who at least makes Joseph, who is also mute and eats coptis, unable to compete with him.

    If we proceed from the standpoint of leaving Tsaritsyn and Comrade Joseph speechless, the commander of the Eastern Front, Vacetis, and the commander of the Southern Front, Sergin, are not qualified enough and have insufficient prestige. Vacedis is better.  , at least he has become an alternate member of the Central Committee of the Soviet Union. Sergin¡¯s qualifications are far behind, and both of them are military experts and former Tsarist Russian generals.

    The Supreme Military Council of Soviet Russia, chaired by Trotsky, was established on March 4, 1918. In Wang Geng¡¯s previous life, this Soviet military command was not replaced by the newly established Revolutionary Military Council of Soviet Russia until September 2, 1918.  Instead, before that, each local military region and front army had already established its own revolutionary military committee.

    Under normal circumstances, the Revolutionary Military Committee of a front army will consist of a commander and at least two revolutionary military committee members. The top leadership of the front army will be formed. All important orders must be signed by the military chief and members of the Revolutionary Military Committee to take effect.

    Joachim Joakimovich Vacetis was born in Latvia in 1873. He was a graduate of the Russian Military Academy and commanded a Latvian infantry division on the Eastern Front during the European War.

    The infantry division commanded by Vacetis is the only organized unit of the Soviet Red Army that came down from the old army of Tsarist Russia. The Latvian farm laborers and poor peasants hate the Baltic aristocrats.

    The Tsar used their social hatred to fight Germany, so the Latvian Infantry Regiment was the most elite unit in the Tsarist Army. After the February Revolution of 1917, almost all Latvian Infantry Divisions were Bolshevized. During the October Revolution, Vaceti  The division under Si's command played a major role

    In Trotsky's view, Vacetis was shrewd, capable, active, and resourceful. He showed his talents in crushing the uprising of the Left Socialist Revolutionary Party. Under his command, several small cannons were placed opposite the conspirators' headquarters.  It took two or three direct rounds - meant to intimidate rather than kill - to scare the mob into flight.

    After the first commander of the Eastern Front, Muravyov, a leftist revolutionary who was called an adventurer by Trotsky, failed to rebel on the Eastern Front, Vacetis took over his position as commander of the Eastern Front.

    Unlike other old officers who were born in Tsarist Russian military academies, Vacetis did not panic in the whirlpool of the revolution. Even in difficult situations, he worked hard and vigorously. He constantly called for encouragement and gave orders, even when there was no one.  In Trotsky's view, Vacetis was a model of old soldiers who regained their youth and strength after switching to the Bolshevik camp.

    In just one and a half years after joining the Bolsheviks, with his meritorious service in the February Revolution and October Revolution, and with his contribution in dispersing the Constituent Assembly and suppressing the uprising of the Left Socialist Revolutionaries during the bloody incident in January this year, 3  In March, Vacetis was elected as an alternate member of the Central Committee of the Soviet Union. This is the highest position held by a Red Army general from the former Tsarist Russian army in the party so far.

    Trotsky greatly admired and appreciated Vacetis' talent, and never doubted this guy's loyalty to the Soviets and the Bolshevik Party. Vacetis' performance was also remarkable. He was not like other "experts" who  Afraid of exceeding his authority, Vatsedis, on the contrary, issued decrees on a whim, forgetting the existence of the Council of People's Commissars and the All-Russian Central Committee.

    In Wang Geng¡¯s previous life, it was not untilAbout a year later, Vatsedis was accused of having ulterior motives and complicated relationships. Trotsky had to replace him only under pressure from the Soviet Central Committee. However, there was no important evidence of guilt in these accusations. Vatsedis  In his previous life, Jisi also died in the great purge carried out by Joseph in 1938.

    If there had not been the defeat of the Southern Group of the Eastern Front in the Battle of Ufa, for Trotsky, the commander of the Eastern Front, Joachim Joakimovich Vacetis, the alternate member of the Soviet Central Committee, would have been in charge of the Volga River.  The first choice for military regions and fronts

    However, the main force of the Middle Eastern Front lost four-fifths in the Battle of Ufa, and the strength of the Southern Front at this moment was twice that of the Eastern Front. Coupled with the victory of three consecutive battles to defend Tsaritsyn, the Southern Front built by Joseph  Forces and their demands must be met to a certain extent in order to move things forward.

    Especially when the central government was preparing to adjust Tsaritsyn's leadership team and transfer Joseph back to Moscow to arrange work separately, at this time, the commander of the Eastern Front Army, Vacetis, was asked to take command and integrate the main forces of the two fronts, the Eastern Front Army and the Southern Front Army.  The New Volga Military District and Front Army were obviously unable to convince the masses.

    What's more, when Vatsedis served as the commander of the Eastern Front, he seemed to be more defensive than aggressive. He was suppressed by Kolchak entrenched in Kazan and was unable to launch an offensive and make progress. In other words, high  Is Erchak the nemesis of Vacedis?

    Trotsky was silent and felt a little embarrassed for a moment. It is said that if Vacetis was in charge of the Volga Military District and the Volga Front and could not convince the public, there would be no more suitable people in the front and group armies below, so he could only defeat the Soviet Union from the center.  Since Joseph has been excluded from the Central Committee, the remaining Bubnov is obviously not good enough.

    The two army commanders of the Southern Front, Voroshilov and Chernavin, will never accept Bubnov, a Ukrainian madman, to lead them again.

    Then the only remaining candidates are Sverdlov and himself. As the chairman of the All-Russian Supreme Military Council and the military commander of the Red Army, it is obviously inappropriate for him to delegate himself to lead a front army and military region, although the Volga Military District and the front army will become  He will defend the Great Steel Wall of the Soviet Union for some time to come, but he obviously cannot leave Moscow and the Central Committee easily.

    It seems that Comrade Ulyanov has already seen this. Besides Comrade Sverdlov, who else is more suitable?

    Sverdlov was only 33 years old, but he had been a member of the Central Committee since 1912. In fact, during the October Revolution, which decided life and death last year, Ulyanov was wanted by Kerensky, the provisional government.  live in seclusion

    In the early stage, it was Trotsky and Sverdlov who actually prepared, organized and led the October Revolution. Therefore, Sverdlov was familiar with military affairs and was legitimately subordinate to Trotsky.  deputy military commander

    ¡°And Sverdlov has won the trust of Comrade Ulyanov. Obviously at this moment, this guy is the best candidate sent by the Central Committee to lead the Volga Military District and the Front Army.

    "I suggest that Comrade Yakov Mikhailovich be sent to form and take charge of the Volga Military District and the Front. Vacetis and Sergin can be his deputies, while Voroshilov and Chernavin can serve as  Military member of the Revolutionary Military Commission of the Front Army"

    Trotsky, Chairman of the Supreme Military Council, finally proposed his own plan

    Ulyanov smiled and nodded when he heard this, and turned his attention to Sverdlov, who was appointed general. Here, Sverdlov was both a shining little star. Obviously, he was going  When the firefighters of the Southern Cluster failed, the prospect of being able to single-handedly control the two fronts made the guy ranked third on the Central Committee excited.

    "Of course Yakov Mikhailovich is the best person, but he is the deputy chairman of the Supreme Military Council. He usually works as an assistant to Comrade Trotsky in the Central Committee and manages the entire army. Moreover, he is also an organization of the People's Committee.  People's Commissar, party organization and personnel management work are also very heavy. Under such circumstances, can Comrade Sverdlov get away with it? "

    Kamenev finally couldn't bear it anymore. Before Trotsky proposed the plan and Comrade Ulyanov had not yet made a formal decision, this guy jumped out and expressed different views (Piaotian Literary Registered Member recommended this work
