    July 15, 1918 22:30 Tsaritsyn Southern Front Headquarters

    "In this case, in the name of the Southern Front Command and the Tenth Army, send a report to the First Iron Infantry Division in Moscow, forward and convey the latest resolution of the Soviet Central Committee, and request them to lift the external alert they have arranged and strictly enforce  Observe the orders of martial law and curfew in Moscow, eat, sleep, and don¡¯t cause trouble! What do you think, Kliment Yefremovich?¡±

    Southern Front Commander Sergin sought the opinion of Tenth Army Commander Voroshilov. After all, the 1st Iron Infantry Division was his main division and could not be commanded by the Southern Front Headquarters alone.

    "Comrade Commander, I agree with your suggestion. This telegram should be sent as soon as possible. Although Comrade Pavlov is young, he can still grasp the sense of proportion. He is afraid that the following two brigade commanders will cause trouble because of their rough manners. The telegram  Sign your name and mine at the same time, so they can understand it at a glance!" Voroshilov said neatly.

    "Okay, Chief of Staff, let's do it like this. You go to the telegraph room to arrange the dispatch in person. There can be no mistakes in this matter!" Sergin asked Chief of Staff Gidis to quickly go to Pavlov who was trapped in Moscow University.  The infantry division sent a telegram. If time was wasted here and the blind guy in the confrontation between the two armies over there got sleepy and shook his hand in the middle of the night and fired, things would be out of control!

    "Wait a minute, Comrade Sergin, I think in order to avoid misunderstandings caused by Tsaritsyn's troops in Moscow, can we temporarily transfer the command of Pavlov, the 1st Tsaritsyn Steel Infantry Division, to the Supreme Military Council?  ?

    No, no, let¡¯s just hand it over to Sverdlov and Kamenev directly. Otherwise, I¡¯m afraid that some people with ulterior motives will set up a trap or trap for Pavlov and the others to drill. Then it will be our side.  It¡¯s controlled by remote control, so things can¡¯t be explained clearly!  "

    Since Voroshilov decided to accept the resolution of the Central Committee of the Soviet Union on the Joseph issue, he didn't want to cause any extraneous things. He just calmed down and thought about it for a while, and felt that there was such a police station next to the Kremlin in Moscow.  Rijin's infantry division is something that needs to be avoided.

    Of course, withdrawing Pavlov's division from Moscow is one way, but it is not the best way. It is a good way to stay in Moscow without arousing suspicion. This guy had an idea and thought that this division could be withdrawn.  The command authority is handed over first.

    Voroshilov's suggestion could be regarded as a counter-attack and retreat in order to advance. As soon as it was said, it won the high approval of all the Southern Front generals in the conference room. Gidis hurriedly went to Pavlov's infantry far away in Moscow.  The division sent a telegram requesting them to accept the command of Volga Front Commander Sverdlov or Military Commissar Kamenev after receiving the telegram.

    After Gidis walked out of the conference room, Sergin calmly took out the second telegram, handed it to Voroshilov with a smile, and said, "Kliment Yefremovich  , this telegram comes right after the one just now. You guys happened to be away just now, and Gibbs and I didn't have time to read it. Please read it to everyone!"

    Voroshilov took the telegram doubtfully and thought to himself, Damn, do you dare to say that you haven¡¯t read it with Gidis?  Only a ghost can believe it, but now is not the time to care about it. Voroshilov opened the telegram manuscript in his hand, read a few lines in a hurry, his eyes lit up, and he read out:

    Supreme Military Council of the Soviet

    Chairman Leonid Trotsky

    July 15, 1918 22:27

    The fifteen latest appointments of the Supreme Military Council were read out one after another, and the entire Southern Front Army conference room was filled with silence. Obviously, such a large-scale front army formation work, the reconstruction and personnel arrangements of the cutting group army were completely eliminated by Moscow in such a period of time.  The arrangements were so orderly that all the generals of the Southern Front were amazed.

    When it comes to saying that the Southern Front built by Joseph is also a place where stars gather together, and no one is an efficient lamp, while Voroshilov was reading the telegram, everyone pricked up their ears to hear if there was their own name.  Of course, Comrade Voroshilov's name appeared the most in the telegrams, and he was also the one with the highest promotion.

    In these fifteen orders, it can be said that all the generals of the Southern Front have been promoted, or at least maintained their original job levels. Voroshilov was promoted from the commander of the group army to the deputy commander of the front army, the second military commissar and the third  The political commissar of the First Cavalry Army was the one who gained the most and was the most prominent. Of course, Voroshilov could barely hold his breath and not laugh out loud.

    It is not a big problem to hand over the position of commander of the Tenth Army to Gidis. Political Commissar Lyubimov is still there, not to mention that Gigis has a good relationship with me. This Tenth Army is still me, the new deputy commander of the front army.  The main force of his direct lineage, and also serving as the political commissar of the newly established First Cavalry Army, Budyonni had a close relationship with him that only wore a pair of trousers. What else could he not be happy with?

    The people in Moscow are not simple. Voroshilov breathed a sigh of relief quietly. With the wisdom and ability of Moscow to make such a personnel appointment, Comrade Joseph is still far from those big guys, and he is even worse.  If nothing can compare to it, let¡¯s just work hard under the leadership of Moscow and don¡¯t even think about starting a new one!

    Chernavin of the Eighth Army also rose to the rank of chief of staff of the front army, third military commissar, and continued to serve as commander of the Eighth Army. This increased his position and military power simultaneously, and made him feel happy.

    A letter of the resolution of the Moscow Central Committee and a letter of the latest personnel information of the Supreme Military Council of the Soviet Union allowed Moscow and Tsaritsin to join hands to overcome the immediate difficulties and challenges and avoid the Soviet Union.?Split internally, between Moscow and Tsaritsyn.

    For Moscow, things are starting to look good.  ^-^^-^
