Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    At 0:00 on July 15, 1918, Moscow and Ufa reached an armistice and demarcation agreement. Of course, it was determined through the exchange of telegrams between the two parties. This was more like a gentleman's agreement. One party signing the agreement was the red Soviet Russian government, and the other party  On the one side is the Volga Federal Autonomous Government, which has not yet been formally established.

    During the entire battle of Ufa, the Central Committee of the Soviet Union in Moscow, which had been in fear for seven or eight days, Ulyanov and Trotsky were of course also muttering privately that two telegrams alone could confirm the mutual recognition of the armistice and demarcation of the two sides.  It seems too childish, but for Ufa, this kind of thing will happen again in the future. The commander-in-chief of the coalition forces, King Zhong, is that resolute and resolute tune.

    The formal signing of the agreement and the exchange of documents by representatives of both parties at the designated place, and other red tape matters, are all small things that can be done at any time in the future when things settle down. The Ufa Allied Forces have this confidence, and they will do what they say and what they do will be resolute.  If we tell you that Moscow and the Soviet Red Army will cease fighting and demarcate borders, then we will cease fighting and demarcate borders.

    If Kolchak and his All-Russian Provisional Government do not accept it, then ask him to step aside and let the Ufa coalition re-support the establishment of a Volga Federal Autonomous Government. Believe it or not, if you believe it, then obediently remove Sara within three days.  Just hand over everything south of Tovkursk to Tsaritsyn and leave, and the matter of armistice and demarcation will be settled.

    If you don¡¯t believe it, the Ufa Allied Forces will cross the river from Samara tomorrow. The Russian railway network on the left bank of the Volga River is very developed. It passes through Samara and the reservoir dam at the mouth of the Volga River. It is all the way from Sezran on the other side of Samara.  Go straight north to Moscow, go west to Penza and then southeast to Saratov. From Saratov, go west to Borisogrebsk and then turn southeast to Tsaritsyn, while Samara and  The railway between the Urals had also been opened before the European War.

    At this time in 1918, the river transportation in the Volga River Basin was quite developed, while the railway construction in Tsarist Russia basically centered on Moscow and spread out in all directions, such as Moscow to Tsaritsyn, Moscow to Saratov, and Moscow to Samara Ural.  Such main railway lines have long been completed, but branch railways have become more developed the closer they are to Moscow. Once they cross the Volga River and reach the right bank, there is basically nothing except a few main lines.

    At this time, the railway between Samara and Ufa had not yet been built. The east-west railway artery was the Trans-Siberian Railway in the north, the Moscow-Samara-Ural Railway in the middle, and Moscow-Borisogreb in the south.  The railway line extends from Tsaritsyn to Astrakhan on the Caspian Sea in the southeast, and from Tsaritsyn to the west to Rostov-on-Don.

    Rostov is also called Rostov Veliki, which means the great Rostov; Rostov is 190 kilometers away from Moscow.  In Wang Geng's previous life, this place would become the tenth largest city in Russia and one of the oldest cities.

    The earliest recorded history of Rostov was in 862. In the 12th century, it became the capital of a small independent principality and the seat of the Orthodox bishop.  It became a center in northwestern Russia in the 13th century, but was destroyed by the Mongol invasion.  After being incorporated into the Grand Duchy of Moscow in 1474, commerce developed rapidly. From 1589 to 1788, it became a commercial port between Russia's Black Sea and the largest and richest metropolis in Russia.

    Of course, at this time, the Don River Basin and the North Caucasus are actually under the control of Krasnov and Denikin's White Guards, while Ukraine in the west and Georgia and Azerbaijan in the south have declared independence. In Moscow and Germany, Austria  After the Allies signed an armistice and recognized the independence of these countries, the Bolsheviks withdrew from the above-mentioned areas.

    At this time, the local provisional governments of these emerging countries are mainly controlled by the local bourgeoisie, landowners and nobles. Of course, the support from the German and Austrian Allies is the fundamental reason why they can declare independence. In fact, for the time being, it is just the German  The buffer zones and satellite slave countries between Austria, Turkey and other Allied countries and Russia are only Ukraine and Belarus, which have developed industry and agriculture and are richer than other small countries. They have become new granaries and industrial product bases for the Allies.

    July 15, 1918 8:00 Ufa Allied Forces Headquarters

    "Reporting to the Commander-in-Chief, a call came from the headquarters of the First Army in Ufa. The Soviet Red Army in the swamps north of Milna has laid down its arms and surrendered. The leaders are the political commissar of the First Army Yankov Ivanovich Gay and  The political commissar of the Fourth Army, Giovanni Blumvich Hevesin, including more than 6,000 remnants of the Soviet Red Army, has been surviving in the swamps until now by killing horses to satisfy their hunger," a combat staff officer came in to report.

    "The sky has cleared up. Our planes have dropped leaflets like this. As soon as the battle report of the Battle of Ufa and the news of the demarcation and armistice with Moscow have been released, the political commissars of the Soviet Red Army no longer want to seek death. Commander-in-Chief  Your Excellency, our Ufa campaign has come to a perfect end, right?" Utsunomiya Taro, deputy chief of staff of the coalition, said with a smile.

    "The Battle of Ufa has come to an end. The only drawback is that Tukhachevsky ran away. Budyonny and Xia Boyang, two outstanding cavalry generals of the Soviet Red Army, also ran away. Of course, Monk escaped.If they can't escape the temple, they will have to get them back sooner or later. When the time comes, they will lead the Russian troops in the coalition to fight against the Germans and Austrians. These generals will be of great use.  "

    Wang Geng struck a match in his hand, lit a cigar, and said with a smile. The look on his face was slightly tired and melancholy. The telegram negotiation with Moscow last night was not completed until after midnight. It lasted eight days and eight nights.  The Battle of France made Wang Geng, who was commanding hundreds of thousands of people to fight the enemy in a strange land for the first time, also feel that it was a huge drain on his energy.

    "Hawkeye 1, 2, 3, and 4 early warning aircraft have all been deployed. If traces of Tukhachevsky and those Budyonishaboyans are found, should we let the air force launch an attack to completely eliminate them?  ? The young men in the aviation team were also screaming in frustration. The weather in the Battle of Ufa has been extremely bad since the Soviet Red Army began to retreat.

    The coalition air force was unable to get a chance to fight. It was in vain to watch the coalition ground troops eat the opponent one after another like a duck. No wonder the pilots were not in a hurry!  "Utsunomiya Taro said with a smile.

    "That's not necessary. Air Force planes can't land to capture prisoners. It's not a problem to force these Red Army generals to do something urgently. Let everything take its course. However, you can scatter propaganda leaflets, but there is no need for bombs.  Throw it away, and there is no need for machine gun fire!" Wang Geng stopped Utsunomiya Taro from asking for a fight on behalf of the pilots.

    "Report, His Excellency Pepelyaev, commander of the Second Ufa Army Group, wants to see you!" A combat staff officer reported outside the door.

    "Invite him in!" Wang Geng said calmly.

    "Your Excellency, Commander-in-Chief, are you sure that Pepelyaev will stay instead of following Kolchak back to Kazan? His Ufa Second Army alone has the strength of four infantry divisions, and it has gone through a lot of  After the battle of Ufa, his combat effectiveness and morale have improved. Can Kolchak not take him away? This guy was the prime minister of Kolchak's All-Russian Provisional Government!"

    Taro Utsunomiya obviously had little confidence in Pepelyayev, but after the entire battle of Ufa, it turned out that Pepelyayev was a son of a noble family in Tsarist Russia, and he studied at the St. Petersburg Royal Military Academy.  Taro Utsunomiya, who looked down on the old man with his eyes above the head, looked at him with admiration.

    In Taro Utsunomiya's view, Pepelyayev inherited the boldness, luxury, exquisiteness, sophistication and smoothness of a noble playboy, but in fact he was a top student of the Royal Military Academy with some real abilities in both civil and military affairs.  After changing cups and cups, discussing military affairs, and studying the looks and dancing postures of beauties from all over the world in their spare time, the personal relationship between the two parties is considered to be very good. At least the two people's tastes and hobbies in women are quite close, Pepeliaye  My husband's only shortcoming is that he can't play Go and has no research on the history of Japan's Warring States Period. Other than that, he can be regarded as a perfect Russian friend.

    However, after Kolchak came to Ufa last night, Taro Utsunomiya privately inquired about Pepelyayev. At that time, the guy had a bitter look on his face, and even did Utsunomiyav in reverse.  Regarding Gong Taro's work, I hope he can find a way to use his strength in front of Wang Geng considering that the relationship between the two parties is good.

    Try to persuade the King of China not to declare a truce with Moscow, let alone break up with Kolchak because of this. Otherwise, Pepelyayev is still Kolchak¡¯s subordinate and cabinet prime minister, and he is caught in the middle.  It¡¯s difficult, I don¡¯t know how to deal with it.

    Kolchak took a special train early in the morning and rushed back to Kazan. He seemed to want to make a time lag before the Soviet Red Army could recover from the defeat in the Battle of Ufa. He would lead the main force of the White Guards from Kazan.  Attack to the west and strive to capture Nizhny Novgorod, an important industrial town in Soviet Russia. This city is Moscow's largest gateway to the east. As long as it is captured, Moscow will be basically undefeated in the east.

    "Your Excellency, the Commander-in-Chief and the Supreme Consul, Kolchak, urgently summoned me early in the morning before taking the train back to Kazan, and asked me to bring as many Russian troops as possible from the Ufa First Army and the Second Army to Kazan.  , and asked me to return to Kazan to continue to lead the cabinet of the All-Russian Provisional Government. How did this happen? Are the Allied forces really planning to give up their support for us? "

    b. Pepelyayev broke into the large conference room of the Allied Forces Headquarters sweating profusely. While taking out a handkerchief to wipe his sweat, he saluted Wang Geng and Utsunomiya Taro, and the spurs on his military boots clicked.  Click, he didn't expect Kolchak to go back to Kazan so soon, and his face was obviously serious when he left. He originally thought that his supreme consul would have to stay at least a few days if he came to Ufa to reward the laborers.  Let's hold a few dance parties to celebrate the victory in the Battle of Ufa.

    Of course, although he is still nominally the commander of the Ufa Garrison Command, the coalition command has taken over the defense command of the entire Ufa area after entering Ufa, and the entire city, train station and suburbs have implemented the?The coalition military police who control and maintain public security and order during the war are those guys wearing beautiful black military uniforms and red armbands.

    b. At this moment, Pepelyayev's role in the Ufa coalition has been reduced to that of the commander of the Russian forces in the coalition. Of course, he also serves as the representative of the Kolchak government in the coalition, nothing more.

    "His Excellency Kolchak is right. The Allied Forces want to cease war with Moscow and demarcate the border so that they can free up their hands to march to Ukraine in the south as soon as possible. The target is of course the German and Austrian Allies, but His Excellency Kolchak insists that they must win first  Moscow can¡¯t reach an agreement to eliminate the Bolsheviks, so we can only go our separate ways and work hard for our own goals!¡±

    "Pepei, your good friend Mr. Utsunomiya should have given you some advice on this matter before. How are you thinking about it now?" Wang Geng smiled and asked Pepelyayev to take a seat, while reaching out and pouring him a glass.  Champagne.
