"Comrade Trotsky! The China and Japan in the east have formed an alliance. This is really surprising. What did the Japanese think? They gave the South Manchurian Railway, Kantozhou, Jiaozhou Bay and Qingdao all to China! When will the Japanese be so generous?!"

Ulyanov scratched his head while looking at the telegram in his hand.

"There is Taiwan! There is also Hong Kong and Macao, and the Allies are unified in unification. All these original Chinese territories have been returned to China. The article behind this is worth pondering, Comrade Ulyanov!" Trotsky had a thin face and was riding on the battlefields of the Eastern and Southern lines in an armored train. He looked very stressed, and his two dark circles were obviously lacking in sleep!

"The Chinese are so powerful? I don't think so much effort. They are just a group of new recruits who have never fought much! I want to say that the Eastern Front's determination to fight is still too small. We should take Kazan in one go and fight all the way to Vladivostok! Give the yellow monkeys a little color!"

Editor-in-chief of Pravda and the People's Propaganda Committee member Bukharin pounded the table and shouted! The Soviet Central Committee has very different positions on the issue of Siberia and the Far East, which China accounts for 2.11 million square kilometers.

In Comrade Ulyanov's view, if the Soviet Union can gain recognition from China and establish diplomatic relations, it will leave Russia's eastern front without worries, and the growing Soviet Red Army has enough confidence to eliminate the Kolchak bandits!

But in Bukharin and Comrade Joseph of Georgia, the declaration to China issued by Ulyanov on behalf of the Soviet Central Committee last year was obviously a big failure. At this time, the Chinese people uninvited to occupy the East of Lake Baikal and the Far East, and did not say that they would sit down and negotiate and establish diplomatic relations with the Soviet Union. Instead, they colluded with Japan to continue to march westward.

Of course, Ulyanov would not admit that his original declaration was a bit too hasty and allowed the Chinese to take advantage of loopholes. The organizational foundation of the Bolsheviks in the Far East and Siberia was relatively weak. If the local regime was not overthrown by the Chinese team, it would also be subverted by Kolchak's White Guards. Speaking of which, this Kolchak is truly the second best among the Tsarist Russian generals in terms of ability or popularity!

"Comrade Bukharin, the battle on the front line requires the Red Army soldiers to sacrifice bloodshed. Every battle is very difficult. Victory cannot be obtained by sitting in the back and talking. Moreover, the food tension is even greater than in March. Kazan is on the other side of the high Volga River, so it cannot be taken down casually!"

Trotsky was obviously very dissatisfied with Bukharin's bluntly talking about the sufferings of the frontline soldiers!

"Is the Sino-Japanese alliance related to the German army's spring offensive against the Allies on the Western Front in April?" Ulyanov didn't hear Bukharin's mutter at all, and he turned around and thought.

"Comrade Chairman, in my opinion, imperialism is obviously a collusion to treat our Soviet Union as the number one enemy. The purpose of the Sino-Japanese alliance is to face Kolchak to the west. Comrade Bukharin said lightly just now. In my opinion, if there is no reinforcement and supplement, especially if the food supply cannot be guaranteed, it is hard to say whether he can defend the west of Kazan, let alone take over Kazan!

The person who spoke was Yakov Mikhailoch Sverdlov, a member of the Supreme Military Commission and a close comrade-in-arms of Comrade Ulyanov. It is said that all the treasures of the Winter Palace were handed over to this guy for preservation, in case of need from time to time, it can be seen that Ulyanov trusted him. Although this guy was young, he was trained as Trotsky's military successor.

"How is the Eastern Front? Did Vacedis gather the team? How many people are left in the Eastern Front now? How are the workers' brigade sent from Moscow fighting?" Ulyanov raised his head and asked Trotsky.

"The workers' brigade was very brave! But the casualties were also very large. The number of enemies in Kazan on the other side of the Volga River was increasing. According to reconnaissance, the White Guards in Kolchak on the front line of Kazan have now exceeded 150,000, and our Eastern Front Army has only less than 100,000 people in full swing. I can't do this. In fact, the workers' brigade has sacrificed two-thirds of it."

Trotsky's tone was a bit heavy. Due to the shortage of food, the subsequent surplus grain collection system pushed the rural areas and farmers to the opposite side. At this time, the Red Army's growth rate was obviously not as fast as the White Guards on the other side. Urals and Western Siberia were originally food bases. Although Kolchak on the opposite side was also short of food, the situation was much better than here!

"Vates is shaken, weak! I suggest replacing, interrogating, and shooting all the commanders and senior generals of the front-line shaken army! Just like Comrade Joseph did in Chalijin in the south!" Bukharin suddenly shouted again!

"In order to implement the order of the attack of the Supreme Revolutionary Military Commission of the Front, Vatestis took his guard battalion and rushed to the other side of the river three times. The entire guard was injured and he himself was slightly injured. At this time, the random suspicion and doubt of the front-line commander will greatly harm our cause!"

Trotsky yelled at Bukharin while pounding the table!

"Comrade Trotsky, I heard that the Chinese released Tsarist Russia and the prisoners who exiled us to Siberia and returned them to Kolchak to enrich his White Guards? Is there such a thing?" Kamenev, who was next to him, interjected.

"That seems to be true, but in the Chinese, they are willing to go and go. Those who are willing to stay can apply to become Chinese nationality. Those who are unwilling can only go back to the west. The prisoners who were exiled by Tsarist Russia were all free last year and were still locked up, most of them were enemies of the Soviets. When these people came back west, they naturally joined the White Guards. Even if they wanted to join the Red Army, the Soviets could not ask them. Cheka might come to the commander the next day to implement the situation!"

Trotsky frowned and explained, while looking at Derrensky several times. The existence and activities of Cheka were obviously even scared even the Chairman of the Supreme Military Commission.

"Comrade Trotsky, there are food, and Kamenev and Derrensky's people are all trying to find a way. The rich peasants near Moscow have basically been eliminated. The next step is to expand the collection of surplus grains in the Volga River Basin. The reason why I was so anxious to call you back from the front line today is to discuss with you, that... Comrade Zinoviev has an idea, let me tell you and listen to it?"

Ulyanov waved his hand and pressed Trotsky back into his chair, turned his head to signal Zinoviev to tell him what he thought.

"This, Comrade Ulyanov, Comrade Trotsky, and the Central Committee members, given the complex situation at present, especially even Belarus has announced the establishment of a republic, in this case, should we restart negotiations with Germany, and if necessary, we can obtain military and food support from Germany to help us deal with the offensive of the White Guards on the Eastern and Southern Fronts!"

Zinoviev said while wiping the sweat on his forehead. It was difficult to do the errands with imperialism. Those who came up with ideas were often considered the spokespersons of imperialism.

Trotsky was not surprised when he heard this. He looked at the other people around him, Kamenev, Derrynsky, and Bukharin, seemed to have known Zinoviev's proposal. So, this should be the opinion of Comrade Ulyanov? Otherwise, he wouldn't have asked me back from afar to discuss the matter.

"Comrade Trotsky, what do you think of Zinoviev's suggestions? After the Sino-Japanese alliance, it is likely that they will march westward at the request of the Allies. The Kolchak bandit gang will receive a lot of assistance, so the situation on our Eastern Front will be very serious. At this time, efforts to seek external support should not be easily abandoned. Although Germany is the enemy, they are now more worried that Russia will become a member of the Allies again, so I think that this idea is not bad and may be able to get assistance from Germany!"

Ulyanov lit the pipe in his hand and looked at Trotsky seriously.

"Improve it, Comrade Ulyanov, the Germans' ambitions for Russia are probably the largest in the world. Now, from Finland, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Belarus, Ukraine, to Georgia and Azerbaijan in the Black Sea, almost all are under the occupation of the German army. Of course, there are various ** and autonomous regimes in name. At this time, if we still bring wolves into the house, it is not good that even Moscow has been occupied by the Germans!"

Trotsky's tone was heavy. Obviously, it was very difficult to convince Ulyanov and his comrades, but Trotsky had to make such a struggle.

"No, no, Comrade Trotsky, you misunderstood. We don't need to invite the German army to help. We just talk to them and then get the food and arms back. Of course, the most important thing is that we can get back more than 2 million prisoners of war in the prison camp. Even if only one-third of the prisoners of war follow the revolution, we can immediately organize an 800,000 Red Army, right?"
