Volume 3 Far East Story Chapter 590 (Part 2) The Prime Minister¡¯s legs are weak

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    The Volga Federation was established only a week ago. As the prime minister of the cabinet, he was so busy that he had almost no time to eat or sleep. He was too busy every day just to deal with the telegrams from the newly established state and township governments of the Volga Federation asking for food and money. In addition, the troops were still there.  During the reorganization process, the logistical burden was also very heavy.

    Although Jiang Hongyu is the logistics commander of the coalition forces, Pepelyaev, the prime minister of the Volga Federation, is much busier than Jiang Hongyu. After all, the entire federation has a population of nearly 7.4 million in 8 states and autonomous republics.  There are a lot of messes and industrial and agricultural production are in urgent need of restoration and regulations. Everything is inseparable from the overall planning and arrangements of the federal central government. Pepelyayev is so tired that he can even drink wine and listen to songs with Taro Utsunomiya.  No effort.

    Of course, in the past two days, even Taro Utsunomiya was very confident and led a large group of troops from the Southwest Front Headquarters in a special train to Kursk to plan and prepare for the Ukrainian campaign. Pepelyayev was living and eating in this federation.  In the government building, although the Prime Minister's Office has arranged a house, there is almost no time to go back and live there.

    "Vasily Nikolayevich, if you want to put it this way, the reason why Krasnov and Denikin did not inform Kolchak was because they were worried that Kazan would take this opportunity to push the situation and move them north to Kazan."  Are you going to join the war on the front line? So Krasnov and Denikin just keep their heads down and say nothing? But in this case, do they think the Volga Federation's ultimatum is a joke?" Wang Geng frowned.  .

    Pepelyayev was stunned when he heard this, and then mumbled, "Your Excellency, Commander-in-Chief, Krasnov and Denikin can be regarded as heroes with high reputations in the White Guards. In my opinion, they can make  They took the initiative to declare that it would be best to join the Volga Federation. They really wanted to use swords and guns. In the past, they and I were colleagues who worked together under Kolchak. It was really uncomfortable for us to meet each other in battle!  I¡¯m afraid the Volga Federation¡¯s reputation will also be affected!¡±

    "Hey, Vasily Nikolayevich, are you afraid that our troops will be unknown? There is no need. How can we allow others to sleep soundly beside the bed? Besides, the military discipline of the White Guards has always been bad. Krasnov and Denikin's troops  To put it nicely, they are the troops of the All-Russian Provisional Government, but to put it worse, they are just half soldiers and half bandits. The local people have long been unbearable.

    The Volga Federation has this responsibility and obligation to let the people live a good life of stability and unity. Compared with this, the damage to reputation that you are worried about is nothing. History is written by the victors, and we will never accept defeat.

    Of course, if our ideals allow the people who support us to follow us and live a good life one day earlier, then we ourselves are going to hell, so what?  The future of the country is far more important than personal reputation!  "Wang Geng, Commander-in-Chief of the Allied Forces and Commander-in-Chief of the Volga Federation Armed Forces, enlightened the Prime Minister in front of him in this way.

    Pepelyaev's face turned red when he heard this. He lowered his head and was speechless for a long time. He raised his head and said, "Your Excellency, Commander-in-Chief, how can we reply to Kolchak? They suffered heavy casualties in Cheboksary today. I didn't see many of them."  If Krasnov and Denikin just delay and do not reply, will our Southern Front still launch the southern campaign as scheduled? "

    "What's so difficult about this? It's a smooth process for us. But now you can negotiate with Kolchak's All-Russian Provisional Government to resolve the status issue of the three southern states in the name of the Volga Federal Government. I think so, no matter what.  You and Lord Kolchak still have a close relationship, and we don¡¯t want him to collapse in front of the Soviet Red Army so quickly. We exchange arms with Kolchak for the ownership of the three southern states. Of course, this is up to you.  Let¡¯s negotiate with him privately!¡±

    Wang Geng pondered for a while and decided to reach out and give Kolchak another hand. However, he did not think that Krasnov and Denikin would easily give up their territory and go north. However, Pepelyayev would never forget it.  I felt uneasy and felt that just going south to fight against the White Guards was lacking in righteousness.

    Well, give you a big name. Through negotiations, let Gorkyk's all -Russian interim government officially announce the abandonment of control over the three states of the south. The future of the local people will be given to them by themselves!

    Of course, the first step is to establish an autonomous government in the North Caucasus. The second step is to join the Volga Federation and embrace the big tree of the Allied Powers.  The status of the River Cossack Autonomous Republic or the North Caucasus Autonomous Republic is not a big issue of principle.

    "In exchange for arms? This is a good idea, Commander-in-Chief. To be honest, Kolchak's Chief of General Staff, Hastings, is the same Guillaume Nikolayevich Hastings.  , his father and I are family friends, and there are a lot of things between him and me.Because of the fire situation, this guy has privately asked me for arms more than once, especially our cannons, machine guns, mortars and the like!

    But I didn¡¯t dare to let go at all. You also know that the logistics of the coalition forces are under the sole control of Chief of Staff Chiang. Besides, of course you have to make the decision on this kind of thing. How dare I just agree to sell arms to Kazan on my own!  I have the nerve to even mention this to you!  "Hearing that Wang Geng actually mentioned the arms deal, Pepeliaev perked up and couldn't help but boldly said.

    Wang Geng naturally knew that Pepelyaev did not yet have the courage to steal and sell the coalition's arms by himself. However, speaking of the eight Russian armies being reorganized into the Volga Federation, they may not be equipped with enough artillery and machine guns of their own.  For example, Pepelyaev was powerless when selling to Kazan. What's more, he dared to hide the sale of arms from himself, the commander-in-chief of the coalition forces and the commander-in-chief of the Volga Federation's armed forces?  He wouldn't even dare to lend Pepelyaev a few more courages!

    "Vasily Nikolayevich, no matter whether it is Chinese troops or Japanese troops, including Russian troops, all generals in my army, in addition to singing the Three Major Disciplines and Nine Points of Attention, eat their free wages and drink their soldiers' blood, and also  Theft and sale of arms are absolutely not allowed. Whoever steps on the red line will be unlucky. I hope you and your subordinates will keep this in mind. Once caught by the coalition military police headquarters, it will be useless for anyone to plead for mercy!  Shot! No mercy or face!"

    Wang Geng¡¯s tone was normal, and there was even a slight smile on his face, but his words were extremely cold, which made the Prime Minister of the Volga Federation weak in the legs
