    Headquarters of the Allied Forces in Ufa on July 19, 1918

    News of the victory in the Battle of Ufa sent congratulatory messages from all over the world to Ufa. Of course, few congratulated the founding of the Volga Federation. The congratulatory messages were mainly to congratulate the Allied Powers on their victory and a major victory over the Soviet regime and the Bolsheviks.  victory.

    The capital of the newly established Volga Federation was chosen in Samara instead of Ufa. The reason is very simple. Ufa is in a quiet corner. It is the rear area at this time. It is too far from Samara and Saratov, let alone  Speaking of Tsaritsyn, the main residents living in Ufa and the Ufa Plain are Bashkirs, and the ethnic policy of the Volga Federation obviously adheres to the equality of all ethnic groups advocated by the King of China.

    In the political structure designed by Wang Geng, the rights and obligations enjoyed by all ethnic groups within the same regime are the same. They enjoy these rights because they are citizens of the country, and there is no difference based on ethnicity or skin color. Of course, in the official  This is how it is promoted and implemented in its policies and documents. As for government officials, the military and ordinary people, individuals have their own minds to decide whether we can truly achieve world unity and national unity. There is still an unfathomable road ahead.  Walk.

    The capital of the Volga Federation is placed in Samara. In addition to geographical location and ethnic issues, it also embodies an enterprising spirit. Since it is the Volga Federation, the upstream reaches the North Sea, the downstream reaches the Caspian Sea, and the rest  The imagination space is left to those who are interested to figure it out for themselves.

    The newly established Volga Federation was initially included in the following autonomous republics and states by Wang Geng: Bashkir Autonomous Republic, Orenburg Oblast, Samara Oblast, Saratov Oblast, Ural Oblast, Tsaritsyn  special area

    1. The Bashkir Autonomous Republic has its capital in Ufa and covers an area of ??143,600 square kilometers. According to statistics at the time of the evacuation of the Battle of Ufa, the total population is about 1.5 million, of which the Bashkirs account for 60% and the Tatars account for about 20%.  %, about 15% are Russians, and the remaining 5% are other ethnic minorities. The territory of the Bashkir Autonomous Republic basically covers the entire Ufa Plain.

    For Wang Geng, the commander-in-chief of the coalition hesitated for a while about whether to call it Ufa Oblast or Bashkir Oblast, or the Bashkir Autonomous Republic as Wang Geng did in his previous life. In the end, it was Utsunomiya Taro¡¯s words that made Wang Geng  It was decided to call it the Bashkir Autonomous Republic.

    Army General Taro Utsunomiya, deputy chief of staff of the coalition forces and commander-in-chief of the Japanese army, said to Wang Geng, "In the future, we may have to bring Poland, Finland, Ukraine, Belarus and Georgia in the south. By then we can't call it Ukraine."  I think it¡¯s fine to call it an autonomous republic. How many countries can it be called a federal federation? Doesn¡¯t that sound encouraging to you?¡±

    The Battle of Ufa crushed the main force of the Soviet Red Army, making the Japanese commander in the coalition very confident and self-aggrandizing. Just thinking about the fact that there are so many rich lands in the west and south waiting for him to conquer,  Of course, following the King of China and the allied forces to conquer, Utsunomiya Taro couldn't sleep at night. He was so excited that he could change several maids to warm the quilt in one night.

    2. Orenburg Oblast is located at the southern foot of the Ural Mountains, on the banks of the Ural River. The Ural River flows from east to west, and is adjacent to the Alash Autonomous Republic on the Kazakh steppe to the south.  It covers an area of ??124,000 square kilometers and has a population of about 300,000. Its capital is Orenburg.

    Orenburg (opeh6y?0?7p§Ô, Russian Latin spelling: orenburg) was founded as early as 1743.  It was a strategic center for Tsarist Russia to control Central Asia and Siberia, and it was also the base where Imperial Russia sent new-style imams to win over the khanates in Central Asia.  It was also the starting point for the Russian Empire to conquer Kazakhstan.

    After the October Revolution last year, Orenburg Oblast originally belonged to the Alash Autonomous Republic on the Kazakh steppe in the south. However, the Alash Autonomous Republic was in charge of the bourgeois provisional government. As for Orenburg, it was first overthrown by the Bolsheviks.  The city government, the Orenburg Soviet was established, and then it was occupied for a period by the Petrovitch Cavalry Division, which was still hanging around under Kolchak.

    After that, Rzhevsky's troops of the Fourth Army of the Eastern Front of the Soviet Red Army drove away Petrovich's Cossack cavalry like rabbits. Orenburg fell into the hands of Soviet Russia again. Later, the main force of the Fourth Army  Going north to participate in the Battle of Ufa, Orenburg was captured by Li Mingzhong, the Ufa coalition force who went south to fight in a roundabout way. This territory changed hands so many times, and finally became the Orenburg State under the jurisdiction of the Volga Federation supported by the coalition forces.

    3. Samara Oblast (camapckaro6§İact§î), Samara Oblast is located in the southeastern part of the Eastern European Plain, with the Volga River flowing through it in the west.  It covers an area of ??53,600 square kilometers and has a population of 1 million.  The capital city of Samara is located on the bank of the Volga River, across from Syzran on the other side.

    The main body of Samara Oblast is the capital city of Samara (cama?0?7pa, Russian Latin alphabet spelling: samara, English: samara). This place was established in 1Known as Kuibyshev (ky?0?7n6§í§êe§Ó) from 935 to 1991, Samara was founded in 1586.  Also in Wang Geng's previous life, it was the capital of Soviet Russia from 1941 to 1943 during World War II.

    Samara Oblast is connected to the Saratov Oblast to the southwest, to the west and northwest it is connected to Ulyanovsk Oblast, which was currently part of Soviet Russia, and to the north it is connected to Tatarstan under the control of Kolchak's All-Russian Provisional Government.  , adjacent to Orenburg State in the northeast, east and southeast.

    The Volga River divides the prefecture into the right bank area (with a height of 375 meters, Zhiguli Mountain) and the left bank area (divided into the lower left bank area of ??the middle and lower reaches of the Volga River and the left bank area of ??the upper middle and lower reaches of the Volga River).  The main river in the territory is the Volga River. At this time in 1918, the construction of the two major reservoir areas, Saratov and Samara, had not yet been completed.

    The railway connecting Sezran to Samara. Due to the European War, the railway bridge over the Volga River had not been completed at this time, so a ferry still needed to be crossed. If the railway bridge had been repaired, Sun Liangcheng's troops of the coalition army responsible for the detour south would not have been able to cross the river at this time.  It will stop. The huge dependence of purely mechanized armored forces on fuel and logistics is a headache. The Volga River saved the life of Syzran on the other side!

    Samara established a fortress there in 1586, and by the 17th century it had become an important trading center along the Volga River.

    After the railway was laid in Syzran on the other side at the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century, Syzran-Samara became a distribution center for grain from the left bank of the Volga River, timber from the upper reaches, and Caucasus oil. It developed into a large commercial city, and was also home to the flour industry and metal industry.  Processing industry center.

    For Pepelyaev's Volga Federal Autonomous Government, the top priority in construction is to repair the unfinished Volga River railway bridge west of Samara as soon as possible. Of course, there is no shortage of labor, and the coalition prisoner of war camp  There are nearly 120,000 uninjured prisoners of war who have recovered enough to eat, drink, and sleep, and are waiting to work as coolies for the Volga Federation!

    Since the Trans-Siberian Railway from Kamala on the Kama River to the Kazan end is in the area controlled by the All-Russian Provisional Government of Kolchak, this results in the lack of direct railway connection between the Soviet Russian government and the Volga Federation. Samara will be  It is a railway hub connecting Moscow, Ufa, Orenburg and the Urals, but at the moment, the Volga River railway bridge connecting Syzran and Samara has not been completed, so there is nothing to talk about.
