Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    The Soviet Russian courier finally reported his home address honestly, and obviously did not dare to shout any more random slogans or even dare to continue to intimidate a room full of White Guard generals.

    "Qian! Tukhachevsky is too stingy. The third political commissar of the political department is considered a trivial position. Commander-in-chief, there is no need to talk nonsense to him. What qualifications does the third political commissar of a mere subordinate organization of some headquarters have to talk to him?  You also sent a message, dragging him out and killing him is our just answer to this old boy Tukhachevsky!" Klimov shouted at the top of his lungs with his eyes wide open.

    "Yes! Pull him out and kill him! Just sending a political commissar of the group army to see our Commander-in-Chief is enough. Why does the political department still have the rank of political commissar? It is simply a contempt and insult to Alexander Vasilyevich, and we will never accept it!  "Klimov's brigade chief of staff Larfishev shouted from the sidelines, fanning the flames.

    A group of White Guard generals in the big tent were making a lot of noise and were about to drag out the political commissar of the political section of the headquarters sent by Tukhachevsky and chop him up, make soup and drink it!

    "Hey, you guys are still being unreasonable. I represent Army Group Commander Mikhail Vasilyevich Tukhachevsky, not me personally. What does this have to do with my position? You can't  It¡¯s so unreasonable, Lord Kolchak, your troops look so overbearing and evil. They are soldiers and troops, they are simply a den of bandits. This is simply ruining your personal reputation!¡±

    The Soviet courier Baliakin was so frightened that he shouted at the top of his voice, Kolchak, to get up. Although he was blindfolded, he could clearly tell that there were three Cossack cavalry division commanders in front of him.  To the left and right, behind him were a group of Cossack guards watching eagerly, and the guy with a colder voice in front seemed to be Alexander Vasilyevich Kolchak, the high consul of Russia and commander-in-chief of the White Guards.

    "Okay, everyone, be quiet. Balyakin, since you represent the commander of your army group, let me let you go first and let you complete the mission assigned to you by Tukhachevsky. Someone, come and untie him."  , take off the blindfold too!" Kolchak, played by Corbin, grasped the right balance. The previous show of power was almost done, and now he began to treat the other party's messenger with courtesy. Of course, his attitude  Still aloof and indifferent!

    The Soviet courier Baliakin, who was untied and took off his blindfold, moved his arms and wrists that were numb and painful due to poor blood circulation, and quickly looked at the surrounding situation. The area of ??this tent was not small, obviously.  It was the headquarters of the other party. Sitting at the head was a fair-skinned and stern-faced general. He was wearing a clean and ironed navy admiral's uniform. He looked at himself with sharp eyes but an expressionless face.

    Next to Kolchak were three senior generals wearing White Guard uniforms. They were probably the commanders of the Cossack Cavalry Division, the 4th Division, and the Cossack Cavalry Division just now. What are their names? I have to remember them carefully when I get back.  The information provided by the General Staff Office proves to be true or false.

    "Hey! Why are you looking around? Our Commander-in-Chief's time is precious. What nonsense does Tukhachevsky want you to send a message to? If you have something to say, please say it quickly. After you finish speaking, I can send someone to send you on your way!"  Klimov grinned and threatened the Soviet courier.

    "Hey, that political commissar of some political department, Tukhachevsky couldn't have been frightened by our army and sent you to contact us about the surrender, right? Aren't you a political commissar? You don't need to report this matter to your superior political commissar?  Is that the political commissar of the group army here? What's his name? I think he's talking to you. If you don't say anything, do you believe I will kill you with my saber?"

    Brigade Chief of Staff Damany Davayevich Larfishev, who played the role of the commander of the Cavalry Division, pulled out the saber from his waist and shouted at the Soviet Russian messenger Baryakin.

    "Quiet!" Kolchak, played by Corbin, spoke up. The bustling headquarters tent finally quieted down. Corbin said to Balyagin,

    "Go on, what message did Tukhachevsky send you?"

    The Soviet messenger Baryakin finally calmed down, turned his attention back to Kolchak directly above him, puffed out his chest and said loudly, "Our commander sent me here, first of all, to exchange prisoners with you.  "Our cavalry reconnaissance battalion fought with you in the morning. If there are any captured persons, please tell us their number and names, and we will exchange them with you for the White Guard prisoners captured in the afternoon battle in the south of the city!"

    What Baryakin said was a bit unexpected for the White Guard Cossack generals present. It turns out that after the Soviet Russian Civil War began, the Soviet Red Army and the White Guard were basically in a life-or-death situation. Of course, the two sides would meet in every battle.  There were prisoners, but whether they were the White Guards or the Soviet Red Army, those prisoners who laid down their weapons and surrendered but were unwilling to swear to join their own camp and fight were often shot as stubborn enemies!  Keeping and wasting food is an unstable factor, right?

    At this timeIn modern times, do not confuse laying down your arms and being captured with turning against the enemy and joining the enemy camp. After the start of the European War, a large number of prisoners of war appeared in both the Entente Army and the Allied Army. According to the previous Geneva Conventions, prisoners of war  In theory, the safety of life and property is protected by the warring countries. What you lose is your freedom. Of course, you have to go to the other party's labor camp or work as a coolie, eat grass and milk, but whether you choose to join the other party's camp to fight,  But it is entirely voluntary.

    In other words, being a prisoner of war is commonplace. Although you cannot promote your prisoners of war as heroes, they will never be regarded as traitors. For example, the commander of the Soviet Army Tukhachevsky was in a German prisoner of war camp.  After staying for a year and a half, he came back and was still employed by the Soviet Red Army. He was trained as a young general and took on the important task of commander of the 3rd Army!

    "If you join the other side's camp and take up arms and fire on your own compatriots, you will be an out-and-out traitor and sinner. No country in this country will be able to hold its head high and be despised by others."

    "Aren't you here to surrender? Exchange prisoners? How many of us have you captured? Who are they? Speak quickly!" Klimov yelled through gritted teeth.

    "We captured a Cossack cavalryman, who died of his injuries. The rest were properly rescued and resettled in Saransk. Our commander said that these prisoners can be used to exchange for our people who were captured by you in the morning.  Regardless of the number of people, everyone exchanges with sincerity!" Balyakin became more articulate at this time.
