    July 21, 1918 14:00 Allied Forces Headquarters Samara

    For the Soviet Russian government, only more than 30,000 of the 200,000 Russian Red Army soldiers captured in the Battle of Ufa were voluntarily repatriated to Soviet Russia. This was undoubtedly an extremely embarrassing event. Fortunately, the Soviet Russian regime began to  , that is, the Lord who is invisible to others.

    Therefore, one group army commander, Ma Xin, insisted on coming back, which indeed became a straw for Moscow. After Comrade Ma Xin returned, he indeed became a hero mission for Bolshevik propaganda. The so-called positive example of someone who would rather die than surrender and fight for the revolutionary cause to the end. Of course, can it be allowed again?  The matter of Ma Xin leading troops was put aside. Moscow's instruction to Ma Xin was to take a good rest for later use.

    Of course, all this is a story later. On the morning of July 21, 1918, after rejecting the olive branch offered by the Commander-in-Chief of the Allied Forces for the last time, Comrade Ma Xin was invited back to the prisoner of war camp alone and waited until a few days later.  , and more than 30,000 Soviet Russian prisoners of war who were voluntarily repatriated were deported across the Volga River.

    Later, at the prisoner repatriation and handover ceremony held by the Soviet Russian government and the Volga Federation in Syzran on the other side of Samara, Ma Xin and 30,000 Soviet Red Army prisoners of war, together with 60,000 Tsarist Russian prisoners of war who had been repatriated to Soviet Russia by Germany.  After making an exchange, it was best to return to the embrace of Soviet Russia.

    At this moment, at 2 pm on July 21, 1918, the ten former Soviet Army generals who had just reunited with their families and cried at noon, only had time to wipe away their tears and went to the Volga federal government to temporarily arrange the meeting.  After staying at their residence, they had a fairly rich lunch with their families, and then were invited back to the coalition headquarters by the staff officer sent by the coalition headquarters.

    The seat of the coalition headquarters is the Samara City Government Building, which is also the seat of the Volga Federal Government. As the Volga Federal Government was built with the support of the Allied Forces and the King of China, it is destined to be unable to get rid of the embarrassment of a puppet government for a long time.  .

    With the surrender of the captured Soviet generals, the reorganization plan for the entire Volga Federation's Russian troops was finalized. This is why these generals were invited back to the coalition headquarters that afternoon. The style of the commander-in-chief of the coalition forces has always been to just  Since the Volga Federation is currently a wartime management system under the leadership of the Allied Forces, Pepelyaev's federal government is more like the logistics support department of the coalition.

    Slavin, Yegorov and other former Soviet generals who came to the large conference room of the Allied Forces Headquarters were still immersed in the joy of being reunited with their loved ones and grateful to the Allied Forces. They could bring their families out of the Soviet Union in an upright and honest manner.  Getting them back unscathed made these former Soviet generals feel deeply grateful to the coalition forces. Of course, they were also vaguely full of expectations for their respective futures in the Volga Federation.

    With the establishment of the Volga Federal Autonomous Government, of course, the federal government at this time had not yet formulated any written constitution. Like the Western Siberian Autonomous Government, it only copied the "Provisional Constitution of the Volga Federal Autonomous Government", the core content of which was,  It indicates that the autonomous government of the Volga Federation represents the interests of all citizens of the federation, and the majority party that wins the federal parliamentary election nominates a candidate for prime minister and forms a cabinet. The prime minister candidate and cabinet list will take office after the Senate votes and approves it.

    In addition to an unclear provisional law, the newly promulgated "Federal Land Management Measures", "375 Rent Reduction Regulations" and "Federal Eight-Hour Work System for Non-Agricultural Population" promulgated by the Volga Federation have become important tools to consolidate power and stability after the establishment of this autonomous government.  The latest and most powerful decree on the social situation.

    As for the federal army, the latest decree is the "Federal Army Rank System" and the "Federal Military Service Act." The Federal Military Service Act determines that when the autonomous government declares that the country has entered a wartime management system and issues a mobilization order, all personnel under the age of 18  Federal citizens aged 45 and above are obliged to serve in the federal military and automatically enter reserve status. They need to report and register with the armed forces department of the local government as soon as possible and accept the call of the country to serve in the army at any time.

    In non-wartime situations or when mobilization orders have not been issued, the federal army adopts a volunteer system. All healthy citizens of appropriate age can apply to the armed forces department of the local government to join the army. According to the army recruitment quota and recruitment conditions, applicants who meet the requirements will be selected.  Those who choose to join the army will be selected on their merits. After joining the army, they must serve for at least five years before they can choose to change careers or become volunteers. Volunteers will retire from active service and transfer to reserve service when they are 45 years old. For officers above the age of major, their service years can be extended to 60 years old.

    The Federal Military Service Act also stipulates the composition of the federal armed forces as follows:

    The federal army, the federal navy, the federal air force, the federal police force, the federal internal affairs force, and the federal reserve force. In addition, the federal states and autonomous republics will have the National Guard and the police force.

    The officer ranks of the Volga Federal Army are determined as follows. Like Wang Geng¡¯s previous life, it is basically a two-rank system for one position, divided into 4 levels and 12 levels:

    Marshal: Marshal

    General: General, general, lieutenant general, major general;

    Colonel: Colonel, Colonel, Lieutenant Colonel, Major;

    Lieutenant: captain, lieutenant, second lieutenant.

    Soldiers are divided into two levels: private and private, and non-commissioned officers are divided into three levels: sergeant, sergeant and corporal.

    In addition, the principle of military ranks and positions is that one position can be divided into two levels, as follows:

    Military positions in major military regions: general, general;

    Group army military positions, lieutenant general, major general;

    Regular teacher positions: major general, senior colonel;

    ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ;

    Regular regimental positions: colonel, lieutenant colonel;

    Regular position: lieutenant colonel, major;

    Full company rank: captain, lieutenant;

    Ranking: Lieutenant, Second Lieutenant;

    The rank of all deputy positions is one level lower than that of the full-time positions. The division level of the federal army is equivalent to the mixed brigade of the Chinese participating army and the brigade of the Japanese army. The rank of the group army is equivalent to the integrated division of China and the Japanese army.  The level of divisions and military region fronts is equivalent to the group army level of China's participating armies and the level of Japanese front armies.

    Since the Allied Powers themselves are not a country, but a military alliance between countries, it is impossible for Wang Geng's Allied Powers to establish a separate set of so-called military rank regulations for the coalition, except that the Chinese and Japanese armies each follow the military rank system of their own country's army.  In addition, for these Russian troops who are nominally loyal to the Volga Federation, the above military rank regulations can only be re-promulgated in the name of the Volga Federation to achieve the purpose of military rank management.

    Of course, in addition to reorganizing the army, this is also for the convenience of rewarding the Russian generals for their merits after the victory in the Battle of Ufa. Otherwise, these nearly 300,000 troops are nominally the National Defense Forces of the Volga Federation.  Their military ranks and insignia are still those of the All-Russian Provisional Government inherited by Kolchak, which is ridiculous!

    The army of the Volga Federation is under the unified leadership and jurisdiction of the Commander-in-Chief of the Federal Armed Forces. Of course, this position may have been awkwardly vacant, because the Allied Forces are the only kings in charge of the military power on this land. Fortunately, Wang Gengsi thought about it,  Finally, through the Volga Federation's acceptance and recognition of dual nationality, he legitimately assumed the position of Commander-in-Chief of the Volga Federation's armed forces.

    In fact, with the establishment of the Sino-Japanese alliance, even in China and Japan, it will not be too far away before the two governments officially confirm that their respective nationals can have multiple nationalities. At least in China, the draft of constitutional amendments after the parliamentary election in August  , this matter will be pushed forward without any suspense.

    As for when there will be a native-born commander-in-chief of the Volga Federation, obviously no one is thinking about this issue at the moment. The most optimistic estimate will have to wait until the end of the war between the Allies and the Allies.

    As Prime Minister of the Federal Government, Vasily Nikolayevich Pepelyaev had no reason to confer military ranks on the National Defense Forces. The first conferment ceremony for senior generals of the Volga Federation was held at 2 pm on July 21, 1918.  The person responsible for conferring titles was the King of China, who was also the commander-in-chief of the armed forces of the Volga Federation. All generals in the Allied Allied Forces who worked part-time in the Volga federal government and the army temporarily joined the Volga Federation and became persons with multiple nationalities.

    This matter was not that simple. In Russia in 1918, the man in charge was the King of China who dared to break all stereotypes. It was the King of China who even brought China and Japan together into a close alliance. Ufa  The brilliant victory of the battle enabled the commander-in-chief of the coalition forces and China to receive the full support of the Russian generals.

    We all ate the food shipped from China and blocked the overwhelming offensive of the Soviet Red Army on our own land. The Allied Powers and the King of China can be called the reborn parents of all non-Soviet and Bolshevistized people on this land!

    Since nominally except for the three Russian divisions of the First Siberian Army and the Sino-Japanese Allied Forces, which do not belong to the Volga Federal Army system, the nearly 320,000 troops of the reorganized 8 armies and 4 cavalry corps all belong to the Volga Federal Army. Therefore, these troops  All senior generals need to be re-titled, and then at the ceremony of the reorganization and reorganization of the various units, the group army commanders will then confer titles to their respective subordinates.

    This afternoon, the person who was awarded the title of Commander-in-Chief of the Federal Armed Forces Wang Geng in the large conference room of the Samara Coalition Forces Headquarters is the commander and chief of staff of the eight armies. There are no such positions as military commissar and political commissar in the federal army. Even the political commissar  There is no director of the department. In fact, Wang Geng has never had the idea of ??turning his troops into a party army. He hopes that through the tempering of blood and fire, the army should only be loyal to the country instead of a party or a certain leader.

    Although this is his wish, the world has never been short of people who surround the big tree all day long with the heart of a dragon and speculate all day long to please and persuade people to advance. Therefore, what Wang Geng is actually adopting at this moment is the method of military dictatorship.We are working towards the ideal democracy and republic.

    But I want to be honest, no matter what others think, doing things is more important than empty talk. If the efficiency of military dictatorship is high, then don¡¯t waste time on parliamentary politics and wrangling. What the Chinese nation lacks is time, just strive for  Don¡¯t slack off day and night!
