    9:00, August 12, 1918, Volga Federation, Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Federal Government of Samara

    "Vasily Nikolayevich, as the plenipotentiary representative of His Excellency Kolchak, the Supreme Consul of Russia, we formally proposed that we hope that the Volga Federation will act as an intermediary to mediate the war between the Soviet Bolsheviks and us. Without the Volga Federation  With the support of the White Guards, our White Guard regime cannot continue the war. When we handed over Tatar State and Kazan, nothing you promised was fulfilled! We can no longer act as your pawn to restrain Moscow! "

    The white guard chief of staff and negotiator Guillaume Nikolayevich Hastings's face was pale with a hint of blush. The heavy rain that lasted for more than a week ended abruptly, but the expected Allied Eastern Front did not appear in the sky.  When I led the large fleet of the Allied Air Force from Cheboksary to Samara, I realized that representatives of the Germans and Soviet Russia had arrived in Samara in the rain two days in advance.  Tingsi was very frightened, and he was deeply afraid that the White Guard regime, which had the smallest strength and territory, had been treated as a piece of cake and traded!

    "Your Excellency, Chief of Staff, to be honest, it is because of the existence of the Volga Federation that the White Guards of Lord Kolchak were not wiped out by the Soviet Red Army. Of course, you may also realize it now and expect you to drive the Soviet Bolsheviks to the North Sea.  It is unrealistic to feed the fish in the Volga Federation. The door of the Volga Federation is always open to you and your loyal colleagues. However, the time left for you is very tight. Both the Germans and the Soviet Union have sent representatives to negotiate an armistice.  , if Mr. Kolchak still persists in his opinion, he may become the final victim"

    The fathers of Pepe and Hastings were both palace guards of Tsar Nicholas II, and both were named Nikolayevich. He was the prime minister and chief of staff of the former All-Russian Provisional Government of Kolchak.  , these two guys can be described as Kolchak's right-hand men in both literature and military skills. However, in just a few months, with the coalition forces marching to the west of the Ural Mountains and the establishment of the Volga Federation, their respective paths and opportunities were completely different. They were proud of each other.  It is no exaggeration to describe the current situation of Pepelyaev, the Prime Minister of the Volga Federation.

    Hastings, on the other hand, was unshaven and struggling in despair. The last time he came to negotiate to exchange Kazan and Tatar State for the left bank of the Volga River, the King of China had already extended an olive branch to Hastings through Pepe. This time  , as the situation takes a turn for the worse, and at this moment when all parties are seeking peace on the Eastern Front, as the weakest White Guard regime, there is indeed very little room for choice and time left for them.

    "Vasily Nikolayevich, don't tell lies in front of real people. The All-Russian Provisional Government is now in a dilemma. Only by stopping the war first can we have a chance to breathe and develop. If we continue to fight but you don't support us,  This is simply a joke. This time I finally convinced Kolchak and the White Guard generals. You must know that those nobles and Cossack generals followed Kolchak and myself in order to one day fight back home.  Liberate Moscow and Petrograd from the Soviet Bolsheviks To give up this goal now is very costly and risky. At this time, you will not stand by and wait for our internal strife to collapse, right?"

    Although Hastings had no hope in his heart, there was still a look of expectation on his face. In fact, with his wisdom and experience, he clearly understood that hundreds of thousands of White Guards and hundreds of thousands of White Guards' family members, as a self-proclaimed "  The regime of the All-Russian Provisional Government is so ridiculous and unrealistic at this moment. The value of the existence of the White Guard regime lies in checking and balancing the sworn enemy Soviet Russia. Once the Volga Federation decides to let Soviet Russia go, the White Guard regime will have no existence.  The need to go down

    This is also the saddest part. If the White Guard regime wants to exist, it must insist on fighting Soviet Russia to the end. However, without the support of the Volga Federation, the White Guard regime cannot even support itself. Although the life of Soviet Russia is not easy, it can  The territorial territory and population are dozens or hundreds of times that of the White Guard regime. Even if the two sides compete in energy consumption, it is the White Guards and Kolchak who lose" Guillaume Nikolayevich, do you think that under the rule of the Volga Federation, the people's  How are the lives of the landowners, capitalists, bankers and nobles? How are the lives of the government, police and army? "Pepe's growth and experience in the past few months have given him enough to speak.  Confidence, Hastings, who was both civil and military in the past, really did not think that Pepe was better than him, but now, he has the grace and magnanimity of a prime minister of a great power. On the other hand, Hastings looks haggard and hesitant.  , I have long lost my original enthusiasm.  "There is nothing to say. The territory of the Volga Federation has exceeded 1 million square kilometers, and the population must have exceeded 10 million. Your National Defense Force has at least 300,000 elite troops, plus the same number of National Guards being formed. Although it is said that 20 people  The burden of supporting a soldier is a bit heavy, but with the Allied Powers on the Eastern Front as a great support, you?The population will continue to increase with the expansion of the territory, and industrial and agricultural production will recover much faster than elsewhere. At least part of the ideals that we did not realize at the beginning have been realized in the Volga Federation!  "

    When Hastings said this, he really had nothing to be dissatisfied with. Although Pepe's abilities in all aspects were not as good as his own, he couldn't help but choose the right path. If the Volga Federation was a vassal and puppet of the Sino-Japanese Alliance at the moment, it would be wrong.  Right or wrong, I dare you to say that Pepe has never thought about the idea of ??using chicken to lay eggs to win?  It seems like a joke that the sphere of influence of the Chinese and little Japan extends to the west of the Ural Mountains. Does anyone really believe that the yellow-skinned monkey wants to become the boss of Europe?  "Then why do you still have any hesitation? Hasn't Denikin's road ahead proved very well that the White Guards joining the Volga Federation is the right choice? The Cossacks don't have to fight back to their hometowns at all, they can just ride on their horses and sing  As we sang, we crossed the Don River and went straight to our hometown. The Ukrainian Cossacks, the Don Cossacks, and the Ural Cossacks were united and unified under the banner of the Volga Federation. How great is this? This land is in dire need, and what it lacks is knowledge.  Let¡¯s build and create a new era together!¡±

    Pepelyaev's words were extremely sincere. He just didn't dare to say in front of Hastings that in the future, when the war ends and the Allied forces on the Eastern Front are disbanded, the Chinese participating armies and the Japanese army will definitely  After demobilization and returning to their respective hometowns, aren¡¯t we still the masters of this hot land west of the Ural Mountains?  "What do the Germans want from the Volga Federation? What bargaining chips does Moscow, the Soviet Union, give? Can our White Guards escape disaster only by joining the Volga Federation? What kind of respect can Mr. Kolchak get in the Volga Federation?"  ! How to arrange the White Guards and generals? "Hastings pondered and showed his trump card.
