    Of course, there is no shortage of food, cloth, salt, daily necessities, arms, supplies and weapons transported back from the west of the Ural Pass But they come as quickly as they come

    Fortunately, Kolchak and Hastings are not stupid enough to issue new rubles for the All-Russian Provisional Government in Kazan now. They both know that printing is useless paper. The credibility of the national currency is based on political, economic and military strength.  Yes, the gold reserve certificates issued by the Bank of China against the tsarist Russian gold in custody are the official currency of the Kazan regime. However, there is almost no circulation. They are replaced by China¡¯s new banknotes, the Chinese Yuan, which is also the most hard currency in Asia in this era.  The most widely circulated currency!  ",

    The issuance of China's yuan is directly tied to the reserves of the US dollar. One is the world's largest industrialized country, and the other is Asia's largest and most energetic awakening dragon. In terms of being far away from the battlefield and having the largest market, both the Sino-Japanese alliance  Both the United States and the United States on the other side of the ocean have unique conditions. In fact, China's nascent but rapid industrialization road is the best and safe market for attracting investment and speculative capital from all over the world.  §êw§ë138¿´Êé͇138¿´Êé͇

    "It really doesn't work Alexander Vasilyevich, Dimilev, I think we can use Kazan as a bargaining chip in exchange for it! I can see it The King of China and the Volga Federation have always been thirsty for land and resources.  Without any cover-up, what we can use as a bargaining chip now is the land of Kazan! ""Look!

    Hastings¡¯s earth-shattering words shocked both Kolchak and Dimilev. Dimilev even jumped up, pointed at Hastings and said,

    "What are you talking about? Guillaume Nikolayevich, I won't just listen to your bad ideas just because my father and I have the same name as yours. Just now you said that we only have this tiny place under our feet.  In addition, Chuvash and Cheboksary are only a little over 100,000 square kilometers. Do you want to give such a small amount of land to the King of China? "Do you know what you are talking about? "

    Kolchak was surprised but kept his composure. The highest consul in Russia stared at Hastings's eyes, and looked at him as if asking, "Hastings, are you going to step down?"  Following the example of Pei, are you ready to abandon me and embrace the lap of the King of China? "

    "There's nothing surprising about this. You're not saying that we don't have good cards and we don't have many chips. I think Kazan alone can arouse the interest of the Volga Federation and the Chinese king. Besides, if we are determined  Kazan, if preserving this land is our greatest pursuit, we don¡¯t need to fight bloody battles to the west to fight with the Soviet Red Army, clamoring about regaining lost territory and driving the Bolsheviks into the Baltic Sea" Hastings said at this moment  He calmed down, took out a crumpled cigarette and lit it.

    "Just because we take the elimination of the Bolsheviks and the liberation of Moscow and Petersburg as our ultimate mission, we can send out Kazan, our only base and base camp? Guillaume Nikolayevich, you definitely understand that you are here  What are you talking about? If we lose Kazan, how can we gather the troops to support the White Guards to fight against the Soviet Red Army?" Dimilev's voice became a little hoarse.

    "Reason! I need a reason! Guillaume Nikolayevich, Dimilev is right, since Kazan is our only barrier, sent out Where can we stand? How can we call and gather the White Guards?  ? Why continue to fight against the huge Soviet Russian regime?" Kolchak swallowed hard and stared at his deputy.

    Hastings took a deep drag on the cigarette, and the big tent was filled with the pleasant aroma of Morhe cigarettes. While savoring the fragrance of Morhe cigarettes, the Chief of Staff of the White Guards walked to the big battle map hanging in the corner of the tent.  , and actually stared at the location of Kazan on the map.

    The core of the Kazan regime is of course the Tatarstan state, which has the largest battlefield and the most populous population. The combined area and population of the Chuvash and Mariel states are less than half of Tatarstan. As the former Kazan Khanate,  The core area, Tatarstan Oblast is located in the eastern part of the Eastern European Plain, the middle reaches of the Volga River, the juncture of the central region of the Russian Empire and the Volga River Basin region, covering an area of ??680,000 square kilometers.

    The territory of the Tatarstan region is 290 kilometers from north to south and 460 kilometers from east to west.  The oblast borders Chuvash Oblast to the west, the Bashkortos Autonomous Republic of the present Volga Federation to the east, Mariel Oblast to the northwest, Udmurt Oblast on the Soviet side to the north, and the Volga Federation to the south.  Orenburg Oblast, Samara Oblast, and Simbirsk Oblast on the Soviet side.

    In Wang Geng¡¯s previous life, the most abundant resource in Tatarstan was oil.  Part of the Volga-Urals oil and gas belt is located in Tatarstan. Many oil mines are gathered here, such as the Roman Shikisk mine, the Novoyelkhovsk mine, the Wuyi mine and the Bondusk mine. However, in Wanggeng  In this time and space of 1918, the Volga Ural Oil Field has not yet been explored and developed.At that time, the largest oil field was still the Baku Oil Field in Azerbaijan.

    Tatarstan is extremely rich in water resources. In the future, there will be the Kuibyshev Reservoir, the largest reservoir in Europe (with a storage capacity of 573 cubic kilometers and a maximum width of about 30 kilometers). The Izhevsk mineral springs are also famous far and wide.

    Although oil and natural gas resources were far from being explored and developed in 1918, neither Kolchak nor Hastings nor Dimilev doubted the Kazan Province as the foundation of their establishment.  It is a treasure trove that the All-Russian Provisional Government must not give up easily. The Kazan Khanate was born here, and the Kazan Khanate even captured Moscow many times and broke the captured Grand Duke of Moscow.

    Of course, the Kazan Khanate has been conquered and enslaved by enemies from all directions countless times. Now, the Chief of Staff of the White Guards, Commander of the 2nd Kazan Army, Kolchak¡¯s most trusted and relied-upon deputy, is actually doing it.  He stared at the map for a while, then finally raised his head and said decisively,

    "We retain the Chuvash and Mariel regions, and give the Tatarstan region and the city of Kazan to the King of China. I believe he will not refuse this gift. Only with the support of the King of China can we survive."  The chance to fight the Bolsheviks to the end! We cannot do this with only the Kazan Tatarstan region of 680,000 square kilometers and a population of 1.2 million! The support of the King of China is more important to us than Tatarstan!  That¡¯s what I thought!¡±

    Kolchak and Dimilev were stunned when they heard this. Obviously, Guillaume Nikolayevich Hastings was not joking!
