    July 23, 1918 20:00 Cheboksary Kolchak former enemy headquarters

    At the White Guard military meeting with the former enemy that ended at 8 o'clock that night, although the generals were clamoring for fights and killings and for reinforcements and reinforcements, there was even a majority of opinions that continued to advance westward in one go. The main reason was that the cavalry generals thought it was okay.  There are some benefits to continue going west, but it's best to stay away from the railway lines to avoid the threat of the other side's armored trains.

    However, Kolchak, the supreme consul of Russia and commander-in-chief of the White Guards, finally made the decision to stay at the current position and maintain alert for a temporary rest. While sending a telegram urging Kazan to deliver ammunition and food to the front line as soon as possible overnight, at the same time  The Kazan Reserve Corps was also transported up in advance, and on the railway line that ran all night, the White Guard trains pulled back more than 30,000 lightly and seriously injured people.

    In addition, Kolchak dispatched two brigades of the 4th Don Cavalry Division to maintain vigilance and cover on both sides of the railway line west of Cheboksary, and at the same time ordered the Kazan Engineer Corps to make emergency repairs to the west of Cheboksary overnight.  The Soviet Red Army retreated and destroyed the railway.

    When Kolchak announced the breakup of the meeting, the White Guard generals below dispersed in a hurry, and were left behind by the former enemy commander-in-chief of the West Route Army Dimilev, the former enemy commander-in-chief of the Central Route Army Krashilnikov and the chief of staff Black  Together with Stings, he followed his leader Alexander Vasilyevich Kolchak and turned into the small reception room of the headquarters for secret discussion.

    "What do you think of Sergei Nikolayevich's suggestion? If we can transfer the White Guards from the Don River, we will be even more powerful, and it will be easy to take down Novgorod!" Gore  Chak went straight to the point and asked his chief of staff and Krashilnikov.

    "Alexander Vasilyevich, it would be best to transfer Krasnov and Denikin's troops. The problem is that the Don White Guards in the North Caucasus have always been their own group. Although they are also under the command of the Kazan All-Russia  The interim government is the main body, but I may not really regard you as their supreme leader in my heart. I am afraid that this matter will be wishful thinking and it will be in vain. If there is estrangement and internal strife with the Don River, it will not be good! "

    Chief of Staff Hastings is telling the truth. After the full-scale civil war began, local forces that opposed the Bolsheviks and the Soviets surged up in various places. However, the backgrounds of these forces and local governments were diverse, including former Tsarist Russian generals, leftist revolutionaries, and Mensheviks.  , the Cadet Party, the royalist party, and the ethnic and regional forces from various places are all in a mess. Except for the common goal of hostility and confrontation with the Soviet Russian red regime, almost everyone has different demands and calculations in other aspects.

    "Alexander Vasilyevich, Chief of Staff, I think we can still give it a try. Krasnov and Denikin had a disappointing encounter with the Tsaritsyn Soviet Southern Front and lost consecutively.  After three battles of Tsaritsyn, he is now licking his wounds to recuperate and thinking about making a comeback. However, Tsaritsyn now belongs to the Volga Federation. As long as the White Guard generals in the North Caucasus have any brains, they will never have the courage to fight against the Allies.  The Allied Forces and the Volga Federation go to fight for Tsaritsyn!¡±

    "With no way out, wouldn't it be logical to transfer Krasnov and Denikin's troops to the north? It just so happens that they join forces to fight towards Moscow and regain Petersburg. Many of these are former Tsarist Russian soldiers.  The White Guard general has always been obsessed with pursuing it!" Krashilnikov was obviously more optimistic and directly expressed his support for Dimilev's suggestion.

    "Your Excellency, Commander-in-Chief, I am actually more worried about the conflict between the White Guards of the Don River in the North Caucasus and the Allied Forces of the Allied Powers, or being absorbed by the other side. In the Battle of Ufa, we were able to lure the wolf into the house. By inviting the Allied Powers here, we brought in the Soviet Red Army.  What a beating, but in fact, apart from the Soviet Red Army, we were also the biggest losers in the Battle of Ufa. The hundreds of thousands of people on the right bank of the Volga River and Pepelyaev became a country of their own! "

    The former enemy commander-in-chief of the Western Route Army, Dimilev, looked solemn. He obviously looked at the problem from a different perspective than the others. However, these words touched Kolchak's sore spot. The highest consul in Russia looked embarrassed.  , the atmosphere in the conference room was a bit tense. Chief of Staff Hastings tried to smooth things over, saying,

    "You can't say that, Sergei Nikolayevich. At that time, the Soviet Red Army's 300,000-strong army marched straight towards Ufa. If Alexander Vasilyevich hadn't risked his life and coaxed the Allied Allied Forces across the Ural Mountains,  We can never defend the right bank of the Volga River and Ufa on our own. If it fell into the hands of Soviet Russia, the outcome would be much better now!"

    "I know this, Guillaume Nikolayevich. What I mean is that if we don't plan ahead, the lands and White Guard troops in the North Caucasus south of Tsaritsyn are likely to become the next right bank of the Volga and Ufa."  , maybe it is worse than why the Allied Powers insist on concluding a peace treaty with Moscow, Soviet Russia. In addition to attacking Ukraine westward, I willI believe they will leave this fat piece of North Caucasus in the south untouched!  "

    Dimilev expressed his real worries in his heart, and his tone was quite solemn. This guy is a weak or wilted guy in his love life. But there are always gains and losses, but this guy's strategic vision and brains are not bad at all.  And he dared to say that he didn¡¯t care what Kolchak and others thought of him.

    When Dimilev said this, Kolchak narrowed his eyes and began to make calculations in his mind. Pepelyaev's side has been quite tight-lipped recently. Kolchak only knew that the Allied Forces were convened in Samara.  A highly confidential military meeting was held, and the next step of the operation is likely to be Ukraine in the west. However, just ten days and a half month to rest and digest the results of the Battle of Ufa is not enough, let alone Ukraine.  During the Battle of France, 70,000 to 80,000 casualties of the Soviet Red Army were waiting for treatment and recovery.

    Kolchak secretly wondered, could it be that the Chinese king had such a big appetite that he was planning to attack the White Guards in the three states south of Tsaritsyn, not just preparing to conquer Ukraine?  Thinking about this, Kolchak felt a faint sweat on his back. Damn, if this is the case, the prospect Dimilev mentioned may be inseparable. Krasnov will either be absorbed by the Allied Forces or be captured by the Allied Forces.  If you are eliminated, or if you are lucky, you will be driven to the Crimean peninsula to become a pirate!

    "Guillaume Nikolayevich, do you think the Allied forces will attack Ukraine and the North Caucasus at the same time? Or, they are pretending to attack Ukraine, but they are actually planning to go south and occupy the North Caucasus?" Gao  Erchak asked his chief of general staff worriedly.
