Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    The words of Chief of Staff Hastings were a helpless explanation to Svabrin. In fact, they were also meant for the other White Guard generals present

    "Guillaume Nikolayevich, my Chief of Staff, what do we do with our diplomacy? Which side are the Allied Powers and the Volga Federation on, our side or the Soviet Union and Moscow?  ? "Has the command department figured this out?"

    The speaker was Ivan Ivanovich Zulin, the commander of the 2nd Kazan Infantry Division. This guy was also an experienced martial arts general from the Tsarist era. He was blowing his beard, staring, and blushing. Apparently, what he was thinking was:  After holding it in for a long time, his 2nd Division suffered heavy losses today. Each of the two brigades suffered more than 2,000 casualties. This made the division commander, who was a little gray on the temples, a little bit uneasy.

    Zulin¡¯s question is also a question shared by many of the White Guard generals here. Speaking of which, yesterday¡¯s bullshit news that the 50 kilometers on the left bank of the Volga River was designated as a demilitarized zone did not leave the White Guard generals under Kolchak at all.  They were so angry that the Allied forces carried out such unreasonable and overbearing diplomacy under the banner of the Volga Federation, like a sudden attack, which made the White Guard generals not only angry but also deeply frustrated.

    Many generals were deeply disappointed that Kolchak, the highest governor in Russia, actually ordered to comply with the 50-kilometer demilitarized zone proposed by the Volga Federation. They felt that since the Allied forces appeared in Western Siberia and west of the Ural Mountains, they had been  Kolchak, who was extremely loved and trusted, gradually lost his position in the face of the aggressive momentum of the coalition forces. The result of retreating step by step was the continuous loss of power and humiliation of the country. Western Siberia was gone, and the right bank of the Volga River was gone.

    If we continue to give in like this, I am afraid that even the last foothold in Kazan will be surrendered by the highest consul of Russia to the Chinese king of the Allied Powers!

    White Guard Chief of Staff Hastings pondered for a long time after hearing this. He felt that this question was really difficult to answer. He was afraid that today he would pat his chest and say that the Allied Powers and the Volga Federation were obviously neutral, but in fact they were on his side.  Tomorrow, when the Volga Federation comes up with something else, I will be too embarrassed to explain it.

    "Who asked you to worry so much that you should not worry about? Without the support of the Allied Powers and the Volga Federation, you gave up your pursuit and dreams? Are you not going to liberate Moscow and Petersburg from the Soviets and Bolsheviks? You are  Are you fighting for Russia or for the Allied Forces?" Kolchak slammed the table and scolded angrily.

    Seeing that the Supreme Consul of Russia and the Commander-in-Chief of the White Guards suddenly got angry again, the generals below obediently shut their mouths and stopped talking. Everyone knows that if Kolchak had been willing to listen to the Chinese king and have a ceasefire with Moscow  , this war will not start at all, and now everyone may be full of troops and marching straight to Ukraine to regain the lost territory!

    The Germans are the most dangerous enemy after the Soviets and the Bolsheviks. Being able to go to Ukraine to teach the Germans a lesson was no more tempting to Kolchak's group of White Guard generals who were originally from the Don Cossacks.  Few came to liberate Moscow and Petersburg in the north.

    "Don't say so many useless things. Does anyone have any suggestions for the next stage of the battle?" Kolchak asked again, cutting through the mess quickly.

    ¡°I suggest that we must also equip armored trains, that¡¯s it!¡± insisted Pyotr Andreevich Gliniov, commander of the 1st Kazan Infantry Division.

    "I suggest that we replenish our troops as soon as possible. We also need more equipment for machine guns and artillery. Our current front-line artillery firepower does not have an advantage. This is absolutely not possible!" Ivan Kuzmic Mirono, commander of the 3rd Don Cavalry Division  The husband also insisted.

    "I asked, Alexander Vasilyevich, can we transfer Krasnov and Denikin's troops from south of Tsaritsyn and strengthen them to fight in the direction of Kazan?"

    Sergei Nikolayevich Dimilev, the former enemy commander-in-chief of the Western Route Army, who had not spoken much, made a surprising statement.

    Dimilev's words stirred up a thousand waves. The conference room was silent at first, and then there was a buzzing noise. Several commanders of the Don Cavalry Division couldn't help but applaud as they slapped the table, while several commanders of the Kazan Infantry Division couldn't help but cheer.  The teachers and commanders were doubtful, and it was obvious that they had never thought about this at all.

    Kolchak and Hastings were also a little surprised. They looked at each other and said nothing, but they were chewing and weighing the feasibility of the plan proposed by Dimilev.

    Ivan Ivanovich Zulin, the commander of the 2nd Kazan Infantry Division, couldn't help shouting, "Sergey Nikolayevich, I say you really dare to think about this.  Traveling thousands of kilometers, when will the Don Cossacks of Krasnov and Denikin and us in Kazan be able to pee in the same pot? Not only are you fanciful, you are also seeking the skin of a tiger!"

    6th Don Cavalry DivisionThe division commander Shivabolin heard this but didn't buy it. He slapped the table and shouted at Zulin, "Ivan Ivanovich, what do you mean? Aren't the Don Cossacks with the Kazan Infantry Division?"  Fight bravely, His Excellency Alexander Vasilyevich Kolchak is the supreme governor of all Russia, not just your supreme governor of Kazan!¡±

    Unexpectedly, Glinyov, the commander of the 1st Kazan Infantry Division, jumped up and shouted, "Since Lord Kolchak is the highest consul in Russia, why didn't Krasnov and Denikin come to Kazan?"  Shan came to see the supreme leader of the White Guards, but he has been doing his own thing in the south, creating a separatist regime and becoming a prince. The south side has never taken the orders of the All-Russian Provisional Government seriously and told them to go north. They will be damned if they are willing to come! "

    For a time, everyone in the war room of Kolchak's headquarters was talking about different opinions. They looked at the cavalry division commanders who came from the Don River Cossacks and the generals of the Kazan infantry division who came from Kazan, the Urals, Orenburg and other places.  His face was so red that he could pinch him and start a fight!

    "Okay! Shut up! We are facing a formidable enemy. Let's unite sincerely! Look at how you look like professional soldiers. You are just a group of stragglers and bandit leaders. Of course, Krasnov and Denikin are all of us."  The generals of the Russian Provisional Government, the troops they lead are also members of the glorious White Guard! You are not allowed to talk nonsense about this matter anymore, otherwise don't blame me for being ruthless!" Kolchak shouted and stopped his subordinates.  Their internal strife!
