    July 23, 1918 12:15 Nizhny Novgorod Volga Front Headquarters

    "Kliment Yefremovich, Berzin's Third Army called. Chupov's 1st Division held on to Chivelisk and refused to retreat. It had repelled five enemy attacks in the morning and suffered more than half of the team's casualties. Now  The Third Army has transferred the 29th Infantry Division that was defending Alexandrovna to the east, preparing to take over the position of the 1st Ural Infantry Division! "

    Chernavin, chief of staff of the Volga Front, glanced at the telegram sent by the confidential staff officer, raised his head and said.

    "Berzin's Third Army fought very tenaciously and wanted to celebrate Chupov's 1st Division. This morning the enemy lost at least 7,000 people in front of the Chivelisk position. Of course, our price was not small, Fra.  "Kimir Nikolayevich, is Berzin a little tired?" Voroshilov turned from the map and looked at political commissar Kamenev and chief of staff Chernavin.

    "The key is that the whereabouts of the opponent's Western Route Army and the Central Route Army are unknown. We are fighting cautiously in the defensive battle in the iron triangle of Cheboksary Alexandrovna and Chivelisk. Once the enemy shows up on the north bank of the Volga River and prepares to cross the river, we  Just retreat.

    In this case, the Third Army has already fought quite well. I think it is a wise move for them to give up Alexandrovna!  "Chief of Staff Chernavin looked at the map and said thoughtfully.

    "Lev Borisovich, my Comrade Comrade Political Commissar, is there still no news from Moscow? Didn't the Kremlin say that it has made a request to the Allied Powers and hoped that they would provide aerial reconnaissance information? Speaking of which, the Allied Forces and  The Volga Federation remains neutral, right? Is this idea possible?" Voroshilov, deputy commander of the front army and former enemy commander, turned to tease his political commissar.

    "Who knows what the adults in Moscow are up to. I think this is seeking skin from a tiger. Not long ago, the Allied Powers supported Kolchak and his All-Russian Autonomous Government and fought a war with us. Now everything has changed.  Are we going to become allies? I think this matter is still hanging in the balance, Klement Yefremovich, my former enemy commander-in-chief, you¡¯d better not expect to get any information from the coalition or the Volga Federation before it¡¯s too late!¡±

    Kamenev, the military commissar of the Volga Military District and Front, swallowed a small piece of black bread in his hand and muttered that in his opinion, this was a typical case of emergency medical treatment in Moscow. He said that the battle of Kazan started with the Volga River.  The front enemy headquarters coordinates the overall command, but the Central Committee of the Soviet Union in Moscow and the Supreme Military Council pay attention and interrogate from time to time, and come up with a few absurd ideas that seem unreliable, such as asking for battlefield intelligence from the Allied Forces.  .

    "Tch, it's not like I shamelessly went to the Allied Forces to ask for information from the Chinese king who wanted to rent a reconnaissance plane. Speaking of which, it was the Chinese king who had his head wet and provided information on the movements of Kolchak's West Route Army and the Center Route Army on the north bank of the Volga River.  , Do you dare to believe it? Who can guarantee that this is not a trap set by the Chinese king and Kolchak singing the double act. If we are fooled, we will be doomed and there will be no chance of recovery. "Voroshilov's nose!  He hummed.

    "Comrade Deputy Commander, Comrade Political Commissar, I don't think so. If the Allied forces really want to fight us to the end, there is no need to abandon Kolchak's All-Russian Provisional Government and support a puppet like the Volga Federation, that Vasily.  Nikolayevich Pepelyaev's appeal is far worse than Kolchak's.

    Since the Chinese king gave up his support for Kolchak in order to have an armistice with us, in my opinion, in the short term, the other party must be planning to fight in the west and south. At this time, the war between us and Kolchak will not be as good as the other party.  Maybe you can really help us!  "Chief of Staff Chernavin obviously has a really different perspective on things.

    "Vladimir Nikolayevich, you said that the Allied Powers and the Volga Federation plan to launch offensives in the west and south. I agree with this. Otherwise, they would not have to rush for us to cede Tsaritsyn Sarato.  The line between Vvoronezh and Kursk has the lower reaches of the Volga River. To the west, they can attack Ukraine, but the German army is still stationed in Ukraine. To the south, the North Caucasus is occupied by the White Guards of Krasnov and Denikin.  Can they tear off their faces and start a fight with the White Guards? "

    Voroshilov walked back to the table, picked up the remaining half piece of black bread on the plate, and said thoughtfully.

    "Doesn't this make sense, Kliment Yefremovich!" Chernavin clapped his hands and shouted, "If it is inevitable for the coalition forces and the Volga Federation to go south to the North Caucasus, then it will definitely happen.  A confrontation with Krasnov and Denikin's White Guards would mean breaking up with Kolchak. In this case, since sooner or later we will break up with Kolchak, what do you think of the Chinese king?  Shouldn¡¯t we hope that we can defeat Kolchak?¡±

      "Or at least we shouldn't want us to lose, right? If Kolchak's power expands, it may not be a good thing for the Allied Powers and the Volga Federation they newly support. Based on this analysis, the adults in Moscow are trying their best to cooperate with the Allied Powers  The coalition forces want to conduct reconnaissance, but it may not be fruitless!" Chernavin said more and more enthusiastically!

    "Comrade Chief of Staff, I say you really have the spirit of revolutionary optimism. Even if the Allied Powers and the Volga Federation are going south to the North Caucasus, how do you know that Krasnov and Denikin would dare to fight against the Allied Forces and defend the country for the third time?  In the Battle of Tsaritsyn, the main forces of Krasnov and Denikin were basically defeated and eliminated.

    "At the moment in the North Caucasus, Krasnov and Denikin's White Guards can only muster tens of thousands of people at most, and without the continued support of the Allied Powers and lack of weapons, ammunition and food, how can they dare to confront the Allied Powers?  Maybe just surrender and choose to join the Volga Federation! In my opinion, the Volga Federation is a tool used by the Allied Powers to recruit rebels. Anyone who is Russian may be recruited by him!"

    Kamenev, the military commissar of the Volga Military District and the Front Army of Soviet Russia, is not a fuel-efficient person. In the Central Committee of the Soviet Union, this guy and Zinoviev are both called Asian strategic research experts. He obviously has a good grasp of the Chinese way of thinking.  He is more profound than other Soviet and Russian bosses. At least for now, his judgment has greater accuracy and feasibility.
