    When Dimilev saw Kolchak's inquiring eyes fixed on him, he felt nervous, raised his hand and said,

    "Alexander Vasilyevich, if we really wanted to live in peace and quiet, we would have directly accepted the Allied Powers' request for an armistice and peace with Moscow. Then the entire Kazan, Volga Federation and North Caucasus would be ours."  How can we hide in the North Caucasus and live our lives now that we are so destitute and alienated from our relatives?¡±

    Dimilev kept an eye on it and did not actually express what he was thinking now, but what he said was obviously what Kolchak meant.

    At this moment, Kolchak, the supreme consul of Russia, was muttering to himself, Damn it, if I had accepted the request of the King of China and ceased war with Moscow, there would have been no Volga Federation, from Kazan to the North Caucasus.  It's all my territory, so how could it be that the White Guards are now separated into two separate areas, more than 1,000 kilometers apart, fighting on their own?

    Krashilnikov cursed in his heart, thinking, Dimilev, you were so muddle-headed when you were cuckolding, but now when you are pulling the flag and pulling the skin of a tiger to show your determination, you are very familiar with the road and can be clever in your movements.  , I'm actually lagging behind you again, this guy didn't dare to neglect, he raised his hands in a hurry and said,

    "Sergey Nikolayevich is right, Alexander Vasilyevich, we lost the Volga Federation and hundreds of thousands of troops because we refused to armistice with Moscow. Now we are called  It's a big joke that we turned around and hid in the North Caucasus. How can we make up for the price we paid for breaking with the Allied forces? How can we face those subordinates who follow us and want to fight back home? "

    This fellow¡¯s words are beautiful, but in fact there is nothing new. In Krashilnikov¡¯s view, the All-Russian Provisional Government in Kazan is far from reaching the end of its rope. If it reaches the point where it is unsustainable, why bother investing in the North Caucasus?  Wouldn't it be better to defect to the Volga Federation directly? Anyway, we will have an armistice with Moscow!

    Of course, it is still doubtful whether Moscow, the Soviet Union, and Russia will be willing to cease war with us. Both sides regard the other as a serious problem, and they want to kill each other quickly. It is a typical situation of irreconcilable power, but there will always be a support when the sky falls.

    The former Cossack leader Krashilnikov now has considerable self-knowledge. He is far inferior to Krasnov and Denikin, let alone to Kolchak, that Pepelyayev.  , with the support of the coalition forces, he now has the confidence to dominate one side, and in the Kazan White Guard system, no matter how arrogant Krashilnikov is, he can only be ranked third or fourth.  If you want to take the lead, you will definitely not have this opportunity.

    "Very well, all of you, please listen to me. I, Alexander Vasilyevich Kolchak, as the supreme governor of the All-Russian Provisional Government, have nothing to do with my government, the Soviet power and the Bolsheviks.  "There is absolutely no possibility of reconciliation. On Russian soil, either they will destroy us or we will destroy them. The two of us will never stand side by side on this land!"

    "If any of you want to leave to find your own way, as long as you don't go to the Soviets and Bolsheviks, or to the Germans, I will never treat you as traitors and enemies. However, those who want to leave are only allowed to leave on their own.  Shake and pull away my team! Do you understand?

    Kolchak¡¯s gloomy eyes roamed back and forth on the faces of the three confidant generals in front of him, revealing a murderous look and determination. Hastings was the first to raise his hands in a gesture.

    "Alexander Vasilyevich, I followed you without any regrets, now and in the future. Wherever you go, I will go! Everything else is fucking bullshit! You will always be my supreme leader!"

    "So are we! Fight with you to the end! Never take a step back!" Dimilev and Krashilnikov looked at each other and said in unison.

    July 23, 1918 21:00 Allied Forces Headquarters in Samara

    "Your Excellency, the Commander-in-Chief, has just received an urgent telegram from His Excellency Kolchak. In the name of the supreme governor of the All-Russian Provisional Government, he requested to negotiate with the Volga Federation to mobilize the troops in Rostov-on-Don and Kalmykia south of Tsaritsyn.  The White Guards from the three Astrakhan states are going north to support the battle on the Kazan front!" Pepelyaev took the telegram he had just received and did not dare to neglect to come to ask for instructions.

    Wang Geng smiled and asked Pepelyayev to sit down. The orderly quickly served coffee, and Pepelyayev took it and held it in his hand. In Russia, where there was famine these days, the newly established Volga Federation was also struggling.  Vasily Nikolayevich Pepelyaev, the Prime Minister of the Cabinet, lives a life with a tight belt. The coffee in the official residence is just a substitute, compared with the coffee at Wang Geng, the Allied Forces Headquarters.  Not even close.

    After reading the telegramWang Geng gently put it aside and said thoughtfully, "It seems that Kolchak also realized that while we are marching westward to Ukraine, we may also go south to the North Caucasus, Vasily Nikolayevich, Krakow  Have you received any reply from Snov and Denikin? What I¡¯m surprised about is that they didn¡¯t inform Kolchak about our ultimatum?¡±

    Wang Geng was referring to the fact that after the Samara coalition military conference decided on two campaigns to advance westward and southward two days ago, the Volga federal government had officially notified the troops stationed in Roskov, Kalmykia and Astrakhan.  Representatives of the White Guard leaders Krasnov and Denikin asked the White Guards in the south to make a choice, either to join the Volga Federation or to go north to join the White Guards in Kazan.

    Of course, there is a third way. Krasnov and Denikin are happy to go west or south, but then they will be stragglers and Cossack horse bandits wandering around. The Volga Federation will no longer treat them as White Guards.  a member of.

    "Krasnov and Denikin have not replied yet. There are obviously internal differences. As for why they did not inform Kolchak about this matter, based on my understanding of the internal situation of the White Guards, it is obvious that they are not willing to go north.  Join the White Guards on the Kazan side.

    Because in this way, if they lose their territory in the south, they will lose their original foundation and status. Even if they get to Kazan, on the one hand, they will be excluded and disliked by the White Guard generals in Kazan. On the other hand, it is very likely that they will  They will worry that they will be used as cannon fodder, charging into battle and fighting on the front line of the battle with the Soviets. When the time comes, the number of teams will become smaller and smaller, and the future will be slim!  "Pepelyaev pondered.
