    July 14, 1918 21:45 Ufa Allied Forces Headquarters

    Kolchak was silent when he heard this. Obviously, this guy couldn't agree that the coalition forces that had just won a great victory actually thought that they could not continue fighting with Moscow. However, the Allied Powers sent coalition forces to intervene in the situation in Russia west of the Ural Mountains. The strategic goal was not  Moscow, he knew this implicitly.

    When Wang Geng saw this, he gave a hint to Taro Utsunomiya who was standing beside him. The deputy chief of staff of the coalition forces had been hanging out with his commander-in-chief for so long, so he naturally understood what Wang Geng meant, so he said with a smile, "Your Excellency Kolchak, Mr.  Your Excellency Commander, you two can talk slowly, I have something to discuss with Your Excellency Pepelyaev, so we will leave now!"

    As Taro Utsunomiya stood up, Pepelyaev hurriedly stood up and looked at Kolchak, his boss, with questioning eyes. Kolchak silently waved his hand to indicate that he was okay.  What happened to him? This guy followed Utsunomiya Taro out of the small conference room.

    When he got out of the door, Pepelyaev grabbed Utsunomiya Taro and said,

    "Your Excellency Taro, please be sure to speak kindly to the Russian troops in Ufa in front of the King of China. To be honest, if the two armies of Ufa are sent to fight in Kazan again now, I am really afraid that the troops will mutiny halfway.  Well, you also know that the Russian troops in Ufa are mostly Bashkirs, but in Kazan there are mostly Tatars, who usually can't even pee in a pot. "

    Taro Utsunomiya smiled and patted the Prime Minister's fat hand, and said confidently, "Don't worry, I can't understand the thoughts of the Commander-in-Chief? He will not return you to Kolchak so easily.  Everything is on me. So what? I heard that there are a few more Tatar dancers coming to your house? Let¡¯s go to your place to have a drink and relax. Your supreme consul and our commander-in-chief are here tonight.  Bargaining!¡±

    Talking about Yudu Miya Taro, he walked out with a smile on Pepeliayev.

    In the small conference room, Wang Geng stood up and poured a glass of champagne for Kolchak himself. He smiled and said, "Vodka is good, but it is very strong and easy to get drunk. Alexander Vasilyevich, come and drink a glass of champagne to moisten it."  "Sounds, after all these years of European war, it's hard to get French champagne. I brought this by air from China! If you like it, you can take a box back to Kazan!"

    Hearing this, Kolchak reached out and took the champagne handed over by Wang Geng. Then he realized that the wooden bucket of champagne on the table next to him was filled with broken ice. It had not melted after being here for so long. No wonder the champagne was clear and refreshing.  It really moisturizes the throat.

    "This is rare. Do you actually have an ice cellar here to store ice cubes for winter?" Kolchak asked in surprise while sipping the cold and refreshing champagne.

    "I can't take the ice cellar with me. This is a batch of household refrigerators they brought to me from the United States. Seeing that summer is coming, I asked them to transport one to the front line for me. Speaking of which, Ufa is still alone.  The only freezer in this family is the latest product of the American Kelvinator company. It is said to be sold on the market for the first time. It is very convenient for making ice!" Wang Geng explained with a smile while pouring it for himself!  I had a glass of champagne and sat down to take a few sips.

    Kolchak took a few more sips of the cool champagne, and almost blurted out "laugh" when he smacked it. However, this guy had something on his mind after all, and quickly changed the topic from the refrigerator and champagne back to the conversation with the Allied Forces Commander just now.  Issues discussed by the Commander.

    "Your Majesty, Commander-in-Chief, let me tell you that my All-Russian Provisional Government and those who came all the way from Petersburg to follow us are insightful people and Russian elites who are anti-Bolshevism. In your telegram this afternoon, you said that you would negotiate with Moscow  During the negotiation, the two sides demarcated a ceasefire, which caused an uproar in Kazan. My subordinates were filled with indignation, including those who followed us. Everyone felt betrayed by the Allied Powers and the Allied Forces! "

    At this moment, there were only two people in the conference room, Kolchak and Wang Geng, chatting secretly. Kolchak did not hide it, and spoke out the pressure and grievances he faced. He looked at Wang Geng with a look in his eyes.  Full of worry and sadness.

    Wang Geng sighed softly, "Please call me Gun or Wang Geng, Alexander Vasilyevich. Of course I know that you are under tremendous pressure, but the pressure on my shoulders is no less than yours. The land of Russia  It was so vast, and the Bolshevik slogan of class struggle was so easy to incite the people at the bottom to be dissatisfied with the previous tsar or the provisional government.

    The European War and the current civil war that have lasted for several years have added huge pain and disaster to the people of all Russia. In addition, the great famine that has caused widespread starvation has deeply hit the society and economy of this country. Now we can in the Ural Mountains  Stabilizing the situation on the right bank of the Volga River in the west is already quite difficult.¡±

    "Furthermore, you also know that as far as the Allies are concerned, the German-Austrian Allies are the most important force to the free world.?The biggest threat is that the Allied Powers organized coalition forces to intervene in the situation in Russia. In addition to saving the Russian people and our friends under the iron heel of the Bolsheviks, it is more important to restrain the rapid momentum of Germany and Austria and hold back the opponent's hands and feet from the Eastern Front.  "

    "If this were not the case, after receiving resources and support from new pro-German countries and regions such as Finland, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, Poland, Belarus, Ukraine, Georgia, and Azerbaijan, the German-Austrian Alliance would attack the Western Front with all its strength.  The strength of the ** team has been greatly enhanced, and it is very difficult for the Allied Powers to maintain the front, let alone defeat the Allied Powers! "

    Wang Geng patiently explained the current situation to the top executive of the All-Russian Provisional Government in front of him. Of course, as Kolchak, he actually knew all this, but as the saying goes, the butt determines the head. Since he  As the supreme leader elected by Free Russia, he naturally thinks of Russia first. For the All-Russian Provisional Government, the biggest enemy is the red Soviet Russian regime, not the German-Austrian Allies!

    "Dear gun, I deeply understand the position of the Allied Powers, but don't forget that Free Russia is also a member of the Allied Powers. If my All-Russian Provisional Government cannot quickly and effectively save the motherland in deep danger from the hands of the Bolsheviks, we will  And my government will lose the support of the people.

    And once the Soviet Russian regime recovers from the defeat in the Battle of Ufa, it will cost more to deal with them in the future. This is meaningless and unnecessary!  Therefore, I am not ignoring the Allied Powers¡¯ demands to reopen the Eastern Front of the European War, but I believe that eliminating the Bolsheviks and the Soviet Russian regime will save the Russian people from the disaster they are facing and enable the new Russia to better play a role in the Allied Powers!  "

    Kolchak is obviously also a determined guy. Although he agrees that the Allied Powers' focus on the Eastern Front is to open up the Eastern Front battlefield as soon as possible to hold the tail of the German-Austrian bull, but in his view, if Russia can be reunified and  If it engages in the war on the Eastern Front, the contribution it can make to the Allied Powers will be much greater than it is now. Due to the civil war, Russia is completely unable to help the Allied Powers. Instead, it has become a huge burden and burden.

    "Alexander Vasilyevich, do you still want the two temporary decrees you promised me to issue?" Wang Geng changed the topic and looked directly into Kolchak's eyes.

    "Decree? Do you mean the "357 Rent Reduction Regulations" and the "All-Russian Provisional Government Land Management Measures"? Although these two decrees have been promulgated, it is very difficult to implement them!

    You also know that the civil war tore the country apart. The "Agrarian Decree" introduced by the Bolsheviks simply destroyed the rural economy. The landlords and rich peasants who did not escape were basically wiped out. Even on the right bank of the Volga River, although it is an area under our control,  Because of food shortages and wars, people have been displaced everywhere. I don¡¯t know when these two laws will be implemented."

    Kolchak had a wry smile on his face. What he did not say was that once the nobles, landowners, bourgeoisie and rich peasants who followed the All-Russian Provisional Government were able to recapture the land, estates and properties confiscated by the Soviets, they might not be able to do so.  Selling the two decrees of the Provisional Government, but everything is still in the hands of the Soviets at the moment, so I am not in a hurry to reveal this contradiction.

    "Alexander Vasilyevich, if we want to break thousands of years of tradition and custom all at once, there will of course be great resistance. But what I want to warn you is that if we cannot solve the land annexation issue better, if we  It is impossible to make the working people live a better life, and in this era when doctrine has been released from Pandora's box, it is impossible to completely eliminate the Bolsheviks as you expect."

    Wang Geng's tone was a little heavy. In fact, even the "375 Rent Reduction Regulations" and the "Temporary Land Management Measures" were only a temporary method to ease class conflicts. In this era, workers and farmers, especially  Peasants are always oppressed at the bottom of society. They eat grass and milk. This is a true portrayal of working people.

    Wang Geng does not have such extravagant hopes to completely change the world. He only hopes to do his best to bring a little change to this era and give people a little more hope. Everything else can only be left to history to judge.

    "No, no, my dear gun, you underestimate yourself too much. Others may not be able to do it, but you and your coalition can definitely do it. I can see that you have a lot of difficulties in your heart, and your ambition is not like mine."  People can speculate without permission. In fact, as long as you and your coalition forces are willing to support me, I am confident that I can save Russia from the iron heel of the Bolsheviks!"

    While Kolchak was wearing a tall hat for Wang Geng, he patted his chest again. The guy even gave an allusion,

    "Dear gun, don't you have an allusion in China? What's it called? By the way, it's called "it's better to leave the remaining brave men to chase the poor bandits. You can't just pretend to be the overlord of Chu". You and your coalition are much more powerful than the overlord of Chu."??Lotsky is just a scholar trying to catch up, and you killed almost all their main generals in the Battle of Ufa. As long as we cross the Volga River, no one can stop us!  "

    Kolchak looked expectantly at the Commander-in-Chief of the Allied Forces in front of him, the de facto uncrowned king of China and Asia. After Japan gave up the fight and instead knelt at the feet of the King of China and concluded the Sino-Japanese Alliance, the world  There are not many countries and forces that can challenge the Sino-Japanese alliance.

    In the opinion of Alexander Vasilyevich Kolchak, there was probably no one in the world who could confidently challenge the King of China and his coalition forces in 1918!
