    At 22:00 on August 9, 1918, Cheboksary Kolchak Headquarters,

    "The situation is very serious. Kazan and the Tatar region were handed over, but the assistance promised by the Volga Federation has always been intermittent. This directly led to our army's shortage of supplies and ammunition, as well as insufficient mortars and artillery. Coupled with the weather,  So bad, we missed the opportunity to capture Novgorod, what should we do now?¡±

    Kolchak's face was livid and he was roaring. On the one hand, this guy didn't have a beard, and the barber brought from Siberia shaved his face so thoroughly every day. On the other hand, the situation was deadlocked and  The low morale made the White Guard soldiers, who were confined to the Volga and the Left Bank with only Cheboksary as their base camp, exhausted and complaining.

    "This cannot be entirely blamed on the Volga Federation. If God doesn't help, the rainy season is obviously over. It rained heavily for so many days in August. The last time this kind of weather happened was more than ten years ago. The water in the Volga River surged. Su  The Russian Red Army can't attack, and we can't fight back. Isn't this a stalemate? The trenches are filled with water due to lack of medical treatment and medicine. This battle is really unwinnable!"

    The one complaining was Roman Mikhailovich Krashilnikov, the great leader of the White Guard Cossacks. His beard was drooping and he was listless. The Don River had become Denikin¡¯s pledge of surrender to the Volga Federation. Kazan  The private land with Tatar was given to the Volga Federation by Hastings as a bargaining chip. The Cossacks are now like rootless duckweeds and have lost their vigor. In addition, due to the lack of food and ammunition, the cavalry can't even feed their mounts.  Horse materials, they have been chewing grass all day long, and the battle is really impossible to fight!

    "It is true that the Volga Federation cannot be entirely blamed. To put it bluntly, if Kazan and Tatar State were not handed over, where would we have food to feed the hundreds of thousands of people now? Now the burden has been handed over to the wealthy Allied East.  Front-line coalition forces, we are going into battle lightly. If the promised assistance from the other party did not arrive in time, we have to blame the bad weather. It rained everywhere and the rivers swelled. The roads in Zeguo were muddy and muddy, and many bridges were even washed away by floods. I am  I heard that the troops of the Volga Federation are starting to starve, so they don¡¯t care about us anymore!¡±

    The speaker was Admiral Sergei Nikolayevich Dimilev. This admiral was Kolchak¡¯s deputy and subordinate when he was in the Black Sea Fleet. Of course, the head of General Dimilev was  The green hat is not a day or two, and it has almost become a legend among the White Guards. Dimilev's ex-wife Anna became Kolchak's personal secretary, while Kolchak's own wife and daughter were sent to France.

    "At this point in the war, I think God doesn't want us to win the first battle. Unless Moscow gets mad and throws itself into disarray, we won't be able to take Nizhny Novgorod and everything will be in vain. I think it's time to  It¡¯s time to look for the second way out. In other words, can we learn from the Volga Federation and temporarily call off the war with Moscow? We need time to recover, instead of being in panic all day long like we are now.¡±

    Hastings, the chief of staff of the White Guards and Kolchak's deputy, has sunken eyes and a haggard look on his face. The only thing shining is his eyes. At this moment, he is staring at Kolchak, the commander-in-chief of the White Guards. He obviously wants to start from  Find the answer to the future on the other party's face. If Kolchak persists, Hastings intends to launch Plan B.

    "We are exhausted and out of food and ammunition, and the Soviet Red Army on the opposite side is not much better. The key point is that the weather is terrible, and the clothes on our bodies are getting hairy. If this continues, let alone holding the position, we can enter the trenches full of ponds.  We have to use whips to drive the soldiers down. Who knows, one day I, the division commander, will be shot from behind!"

    The person who said this was the commander of the 4th Kazan Infantry Division, Alexander Alexandrovich Klinko. The division commander, who was born in Kazan, was obviously very upset about the White Guards abandoning his hometown and base camp.  There are currently only more than 7,000 people left in the division, and many of them are suffering from malaria. It is not a joke to rebel and run to Kazan. Your hometown no longer belongs to you, so how can you talk about protecting your home and country?

    "Whether it is war or peace, the commander-in-chief and chief of staff must come up with an idea as soon as possible. My division has less than three days of food left. If the Volga Federation does not resume the supply of food, materials and ammunition as soon as possible, my people and I can only  They all went their separate ways to find their own way out!" The one who spoke boldly was Corbin, the commander of the 3rd Cavalry Division who deceived Tukhachevsky in Saransk.

    The commander of the 3rd Cossack Cavalry Division, White Guard Cavalry Lieutenant General Alexey Vasilyevich Kobin, who had always been an optimistic Cossack cavalry general with a beautiful beard, was obviously downcast now.  In order to gain momentum, the lack of weeds and fat for the horses does not mean that the war horses can just eat grass and get along. They must have beans and salt, and all these are obviously in short supply in Cheboksary, where people do not have enough to eat.

    "Peace? With whom? Are the Soviet Red Army willing to lay down their weapons and become Buddhas immediately? Both sides have been killing each other this yearHow many villagers, fathers and sons died, how many of us were killed by the Bolsheviks and Chekas?  We have also shot political commissars and instructors. Is it easy to negotiate peace?  !  "

    The man with a stubble is Lieutenant General Pyotr Andreevich Glinov, the former commander of the Cheboksary Group who was promoted from the front line and now serves as the Director of Munitions, Kazan 1st 2nd 3rd  The division was reorganized and returned to the formation sequence of Kolchak's First Army.

    "Then let's fight to the death. I'm leaving the words here. I can't control who makes the decision to give up Kazan and Tatar. But if anyone wants to hand over Cheboksary as well, first ask my 5th Division if they agree.  Promise!¡± The speaker was Nakli Naviyevich Neveshvile, the commander of the 5th Kazan Infantry Division. He was a Chuva native of Cheboksary and a former Tsarist Russian army general.  After defecting to Kolchak's Kazan regime, he became the commander of the 5th Division. He usually claimed to be the most intelligent general in Kazan, but no one believed him. Now, he was obviously gritting his teeth and getting angry.

    Most of the troops of the 5th Division are the Chuva people near Cheboksary. These are unscrupulous soldiers from Cheboksary. They are really famous for protecting their homeland and defending the country. In order to protect their recently recaptured hometown,  The 5th Division of the White Guards, with more than 8,000 people left, really dared to rebel!

    "Alexander Vasilyevich, everyone, my idea is that it is a bit difficult to realize the original intention of handing over Kazan and Tatar. In this case, we give up the attack for the time being and let the Volga Federation act as an intermediary with Soviet Russia.  How about a ceasefire in Moscow! If we continue to fight, I'm afraid the team will be scattered!" Hastings expressed his long-planned idea!
