    "You want to rebel? The Don River is my hometown and the territory I conquered. I must never abandon the loyal subordinates who follow me!" Krasnov turned his face away and shouted while breathing heavily.

    "If you don't retire, the people in your hometown and the subordinates who follow you will suffer. In order to be responsible for the people and Cossacks on this land, I can't watch you lead them into a pit of fire. I suggest you go abroad.  You can go into exile wherever you want. You can take part of your personal fortune with you, and I have to use the rest as military expenses, but what you bring is enough to ensure the livelihood of your family! "

    "This is rebellion and blackmail, Denikin. I have always regarded you as a close partner and successor in vain. Now you have finally exposed your ambitions. Only in this way can you bring down the people and the people of this land."  The Cossacks were brought into the pit of fire. Germany and Austria are so powerful that the Allied forces dominated by the Sino-Japanese Alliance will never be able to defeat you. By then it will be too late for you to cry and shout!" Krasnov shouted angrily, waving his hands.  .

    "Put him down, Peter Nikolayevich. I think Ludendorff's good days are coming to an end. It's meaningless for us to talk so much now. Do you accept the terms I give you? In Chinese terms  He said that it is the best choice for the country and the people to announce that they are retiring due to health reasons.

    Please don¡¯t force me to get my own blood on my hands. After all, we fought side by side against the Bolsheviks. Of course, if it weren¡¯t for your incompetence and exhaustion of the three armies, I would have defeated Tsaritsyn long ago, and we would not have fallen into this situation.  This is it now!  "Denikin said with a dark face.

    On July 24, 1918, what happened in the entire Volga River Basin was dizzying. Early in the morning, Kolchak's All-Russian Provisional Government in Kazan announced that it would give up all the land south of Tsaritsyn separated by the Volga Federal Territory.  Evacuate all White Guards from the south.

    Immediately afterwards, Krasnov, commander-in-chief of the Don White Guards, and his chief of staff Denikin jointly issued a telegram announcing that they would no longer recognize the All-Russian Provisional Government of Kolchak in Kazan, and then announced the establishment of the Don and North Caucasus  self-government.

    The daylilies were not yet cold. At noon that day, after reaching an agreement with the Volga Federation, Denikin launched a bloodless coup in Rostov-on-Don with lightning speed. He had only been in office for less than half a day.  Peter Nikolayevich Krasnov, head of the autonomous government of the River and North Caucasus and commander-in-chief of the armed forces, was overthrown.

    Of course, Denikin saved face for Krasnov and the short-lived Don and North Caucasus Autonomous Government. At the ensuing meeting of senior Don White Guard generals, Denikin, who took control of the situation, presided over the meeting. Krasnov  Snov announced on the spot at the meeting that he had decided to retire and emigrate abroad due to health reasons, and asked the Don Cossack generals to obey the will of the new leader Denikin.

    Denikin's direct generals accounted for the majority of the Cossack generals attending the meeting. Krasnov's two most trusted generals, Fitzheraulov and Mamonov, both declared their allegiance to Denikin, which made Krasnov  Snoff suddenly realized that Denikin had already isolated himself through a period of management after the White Guards on the Don River joined forces with the Kuban Cossacks in the North Caucasus. That's why he took control of the situation so easily today and forced himself to step down.

    In fact, although Anton Ivanovich Denikin was 3 years younger than Peter Nikolayevich Krasnov, the Cossack general, Krasnov could serve in the Tsarist Russian army.  Being a division commander relied on his pedigree rather than ability, not to mention that Krasnov only commanded a Cossack cavalry division on the Eastern Front of the European War, while Denikin had already commanded the Eighth Army alone.

    As for after the February Revolution last year, Krasnov only became a Cossack commander, while Denikin was directly promoted to the chief of the army staff of the Kerensky Provisional Government, and successively assisted three commander-in-chiefs of the provisional government army. In terms of personal connections  In terms of prestige, qualifications, and ability, he surpassed Krasnov, who was born in a Cossack family, in all aspects.

    The poor performance of Krasnov, the nominal commander-in-chief, in the three Tsaritsyn battles deeply disappointed both Fitzheraurov and Mamonov, who were originally relied on by him as his right-hand men, while Denikin  The coming from behind gave these two Krasnov's former confidants hope.

    Denikin was supported by the Allied Powers, but Krasnov put aside his personal ability and ambition, and his vision of choosing a big tree and backer was not enough. If the United States did not participate in the war, and the Allied Powers did not reopen the Eastern Front battlefield,  If the Eastern Front Allied Forces were established, it would still be possible for the White Guards of the Don River to defect to Germany and Austria. The problem is that the Yankees announced that they would join the Allied Powers to fight, and a Sino-Japanese alliance emerged in Asia.

    The Eastern Front Allied Forces of the Allied Powers created by the King of China were simply unparalleled. For both Fitzheraurov and Mamonov, the Soviet Red Army they faced during the three Tsaritsyn Battles never surpassed them.  100,000, yesHe had lost three battles in a row due to Krasnov's interference, and the military aid promised by the Germans was gone after Ludendorff signed the armistice agreement with Soviet Russia. The Don White Guards were like a rag.  He was also abandoned by Deao.

    The White Guards were essentially composed of former Tsarist Russian soldiers loyal to the White Tsar and their children, including of course the Tsar's former royal thugs, the Cossacks. However, the tide of the times has made it absolutely impossible for the royalists to have a way out, so the White Guards swore allegiance to the All-Russian Provisional Army.  The government, or rather, was the united front of all parties and opportunists who were anti-Soviet and Bolshevism.

    Supporting the big bourgeoisie, big aristocrats, landlords and rich peasants, and using the slogan of a constitutional democratic republic are the basic characteristics of the White Guards everywhere. As for the socialist revolutionaries and leftist socialist revolutionaries who once thought they represented the poor and lower-middle peasants, the proletariat and the working class  The Mensheviks and the Mensheviks became an intermediate force with no support at either end, but they were consistent with the White Guards in anti-Bolshevism. Therefore, the two sides often joined forces to fight against Moscow. Once the pressure from the Soviet Union was reduced,  , the anti-Bolshevik alliance itself often began to fight within itself.

    In Wang Geng's previous life, after Kolchak's defeat, he retreated to Irkutsk with 1.2 million White Guards and their families. In the end, the leftist revolutionaries and Mensheviks who originally collaborated with him rebelled in Irkutsk and captured the city.  The local government fell into the hands of the enemy, and was eventually handed over to the Cheka who came from Moscow for execution.

    ¡°Similarly in Wang Geng¡¯s previous life, the final defeat of Denikin¡¯s White Guard was inextricably linked to the betrayal of the Kuban Republic government that had always supported him. Of course, today, in this time and space, there is no chance of anything like this happening in 1918 happening again.
