    The situation in the North Caucasus has always been complicated and chaotic. After the October Revolution, first the local Cossacks launched a revolutionary movement under the leadership of Kaledin, but they were defeated by the Bolshevik army, followed by Krasnov and Denikin.  He went to the North Caucasus successively to call on the local Cossacks to rise up to support the All-Russian Provisional Government and launch an attack on the Soviet regime and the Bolsheviks.

    Krasnov's White Guard team was mainly composed of Don Cossacks, with its main stronghold in Rostov-on-Don, while Denikin followed the former commander-in-chief of Kerensky's provisional government, Ravel Korny, in Kuban in the south.  Together, Love raised the banner against the Soviets and the Bolsheviks.

    Therefore, the base camp of Denikin's White Guards had always been located in Ekaterina Dar, the capital of the Kuban region. Of course, after the short-lived Kornilov was killed by the Soviet Red Army's guns in a battle, Denikin  He took over the mantle of commander of the Kuban "Volunteer Army".

    It is ridiculous to say that Krasnov has been thinking about rebellion all day long, but the Cossacks he leads are mainly composed of Don Cossacks and Ukrainian Cossacks. Most of the Don Cossacks are willing to stay in the territory of Great Russia.

    "On the contrary, Denikin himself is a staunch follower of Great Russianism, but his White Guards, mainly Kuban Cossacks, have a stronger separatist tendency to seek independence.

    Since Denikin's troops had been aided and supported by the Allied Powers, his group of Cossacks who came from the Kuban River Basin had a better impression of the Allied Powers than the German and Austrian Allies. As for the Don River and Ukrainian Cossacks,  Because Ukraine has declared independence and is actually fully supported and garrisoned by Germany, even if Krasnov¡¯s men may not really seek an independent Don Republic, they are still concerned about the former brothers, the current Ukraine, and the people behind them.  Deao, but can't hate him.

    So at this moment, although Krasnov and Denikin announced the establishment of the autonomous government in a grand manner, and took office as the head of state and cabinet prime minister respectively, and they also distributed the spoils to their White Guard generals as they needed, and also appointed many cabinet ministers of the new government.  titles, but these generals who already called themselves the Defense Forces of the Don and North Caucasus Republics did not dare to take all this seriously.

    ??The future of everyone depends on whether their boss is ready to take him to the German-Austrian Allies?  Or vote for the Allied Powers?  As for the Soviet Russia and the Kolchak regime, in the minds of these former White Guard generals in the south, they have become the dust of history, and no one can vote for them in the north.

    "Peter Nikolayevich, the Volga Federation once again rejected our request to become a friendly neighbor on an equal footing. They only accepted us to join the Volga Federation and become a local government at the level of the Bashkir Autonomous Republic. As for us  Personal advancement and retreat, the Volga Federation said everything can be discussed!" Denikin said calmly to Krasnov, the nominal head of the new government.

    In fact, for Denikin, he has decided to accept the conditions offered by the Allied Powers, join the Volga Federation, and become the deputy prime minister and military minister of the cabinet.

    Just before the showdown with Krasnov again, Denikin had exchanged several telegrams with his personal representative sent to Samara and received a guarantee from the Volga Federal Government that as long as he led his troops to defect to the Volga Federation, except for  The titles of Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Military Affairs of the Federal Cabinet also gave him the establishment of two army groups. Of course, the premise is that he must complete the declaration of the Don River and the North Caucasus Republic to join the Volga Federation.

    If you don¡¯t have a certificate of nomination, why should I give you any benefits?  Just because you and Krasnov were defeated by Tsaritsyn¡¯s Soviet Red Army three times in a row?  The Don and North Caucasus Republics are the names of Anton Ivanovich Denikin!

    In the small restaurant next to the large conference room of the headquarters, only Krasnov and Denikin sat facing each other to dine. Denikin kicked out the rest of the people. Yesterday, in the yard behind, there was  It is Krasnov's territory. Today, in this headquarters building, it is the territory of Denikin. Originally, this guy was responsible for the military command of the entire army. At this moment, more than half of the guards in the headquarters building are Denikin's soldiers from Kuban.  Bring confidants.

    Pyotr Nikolayevich Krasnov narrowed his eyes and looked at the calm Denikin in front of him. His heart trembled slightly, but on the surface he remained calm and put a piece of cut foie gras into his mouth.  , thinking in his mind, Denikin in front of him has obviously made up his mind. Although he sang a play with him in the morning and set up a new government as if it were child's play, but Bao Buqi has already made up his mind in the Volga Federation and the Allied Powers.  Have the coalition forces negotiated terms?

    "Your Majesty the Head of State, we don't have much room for maneuver. You and your German friends don't know how the contact is going. We can't delay this matter. Otherwise, if we don't pay attention, Ludendorff will have to come and collect the bodies for us!"  Denikin calmly picked up the wine glass in front of him and drank."Take a sip and stare at Krasnov."

    "Well, I sent an urgent message to my personal representative Dmitrich in Berlin early this morning. He promised to visit officials from the German Ministry of Foreign Affairs as soon as possible, but he said that Ludendorff, Germany's third highest army commander, recently visited the French battlefield to inspect the battlefield.  It is estimated that the Germans will not come up with anything practical to reply to us for a while, and we have to wait patiently!" Krasnov answered nonchalantly, but his tone was obviously very conceited.

    "Oh? We still have to wait? My Excellency, the Head of State, if I wait any longer, I'm afraid that the troops of the Volga Federation will come to the door. What will we do then? There is no point in shouting slogans. We have less than 50,000 people in total, and we will definitely not be able to stop them.  Allied forces, you are our commander-in-chief and the head of state. Now is the time for you to make a decision. I'm afraid it won't work if you keep asking others to wait!" Denikin's tone became a little aggressive.

    "Anton Ivanovich, I have told you this a long time ago. Anyway, I will never work as a lackey for that Pepelyayev!" Krasnov felt that Denikin was leading him  He blushed and growled under the pressure, and the fork in his hand was shaking a little.

    "I have thought about this problem for you. Peter Nikolayevich, what do you think about getting you a job in the Allied Allied Forces Headquarters? The Volga Federation and that Pepelyaev do not  You still have to listen to the commander-in-chief of the Allied Powers.

    You are our Commander-in-Chief of the Don River. Speaking of which, we joined the Volga Federation, and we defected to the Allied Forces. At this time, the Germans have made it clear that they are beyond their reach and unreliable. The governments of so many newly established countries are surrounding Ludendorff.  Crying to be fed.

    ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? relationships,???????????????? Territory and strength, how can our Don River and the North Caucasus compare with others?  I advise you to give up this attachment as soon as possible, and just focus on hugging the thick legs of the Allied Powers!  "
