"Chalijin's call has been returned. The North Caucasus Military Region and the Southern Front Military Commission unanimously requested to defend Chalijin and never hand over its land to the enemy. Otherwise, nearly one million villagers in Chalijin would not agree, the fallen soldiers who defended Chalijin three times could not agree, and the 200,000 soldiers of the Southern Front would not agree!"

Derrensky quickly pushed the door in, reading the telegram while walking. Obviously, Chalizin's bold words were both beyond the expectations of the person in charge of Cheka, and also made him ashamed and happy. Since the Ukrainian coalition issued two reports on the battle situation of the Ukrainian Battle to major media around the world in the evening, the atmosphere of the Central Committee of the Soviet Union this evening was too depressing.

The call from Chalizin and Joseph was like a spring breeze, which suddenly blew away many of the gloomy clouds that were shrouded in the faces of the Central Committee's General Conference Room. Bukharin was the first to jump up when he heard this, and took a few steps forward to snatch the telegram from Derrensky's hand. While reading it, his eyes shone brightly, and his voice was as if he was giving a speech on the street:

"Tarizin must be defended, and Tarizin can defend. The Southern Front must not only defend Tarizin, but also cross the river from Saratov to pick up the Egorov's Ninth Army to withdraw to the left bank of the Volga River. Listen to what a heroic spirit and heroism this is. Joseph and the Southern Front are really good. Unlike some Central Committee members, who were scared by the defeat and the enemy, they actually planned to surrender without fighting and hand over to give Chalizin to the enemy!"

Ulyanov raised his eyebrows first, a smile appeared on his face, then frowned, walked over and took the telegram from Bukharin, looked it carefully, and then handed it to Trotsky, while saying,

"Comrade Trotsky, please take a good look at the suggestions from Taritzin. It seems that we have to listen to the opinions of the commanders below. Voroshilov is indeed a good idea. Joseph said that under Comrade Voroshilov's detailed analysis, the Southern Front Army unified its opinions, firmly defended Taritzin and the left bank of the Volga River!"

Trotsky didn't agree, but like Bukharin, he was actually very pleased to see the Southern Army's high fighting spirit and fighting spirit. Of course, if he could defend the banks of the Charizin and Volga, why not Moscow would do it? Do you have to whisper to negotiate peace with the enemy of Ufa?

"The Revolutionary Military Commission of the Southern Front Frontiers recommends the following:

1. As soon as possible, re-collect the 300,000 prisoners of war released from Germany who were demobilized earlier and join the Soviet Red Army to enrich the vitality of the Southern Front and Eastern Front Army.

2. Buy machine guns, rifles and bullets from the German and Austrian allies as soon as possible, and require a large number of anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft machine guns. The faster the better, the more the better! Of course, there is also food!"

3. Given that the Ufa enemy's coalition air force had huge air superiority and had changed the ground war situation many times, it was recommended that Moscow negotiate with the German-Austrian allies and come to Russia to assist us in the battle with the other side. You can use the name of the German Volunteer Army or select pilots of Slavic or Russian ancestry from the Luftwaffe to participate in the war.

4. Given the limited military strength of the Southern Front, the North Caucasus Military Region and the Southern Front could only find ways to defend the Volga River and Taritzin south of Saratov. If the Southern Front was required to defend the entire Volga River bank of nearly 800 kilometers, the Southern Front would need to be allowed to command the two troops of the Eastern Front and Southern Front. To this end, it is recommended to establish the Volga River District Front to unify the formation and command of all the Soviet Red Army troops on the left bank of the Volga River.

5. In order to achieve a defense line from south Saratov to Charizin, the southern front army needs to strengthen to at least 300,000 people. In order to defend the river defense line from south Kazan to Charizin, the Volga River front army should strengthen to at least 500,000 people. By the end of July, the arms and food aid of the German and Austrian allies must be in place, and anti-aircraft artillery, air defense weapons and flight squadrons must be in place."

Trotsky was reading the telegram from the Southern Front, while frowning. Although Chalizin's fighting will was surprising, the conditions for the lion to speak were also outrageous. At this moment, there would be a lot of assistance from 500,000 Soviet Red Army and German-Austrian allies. Does Moscow need to be humble to negotiate peace with the Ufa enemy?!

"The last time the 300,000 prisoners of war released from Germany were considered to be not determined enough in the identification process, and their family background and personal performance were not revolutionary enough, so they were dismissed and made a living by themselves. Since the general food shortage in Russia was still causing a general food shortage, these people were desperate to return to their hometowns, and a small half became bandits. Many people followed the White Guards. It was almost impossible to bring them back to join the Red Army at this time!" Kamenev said with a frown.

"Comrade Kamenev said it right. One third of the 300,000 prisoners of war who were dismissed at that time were originally the source of troops on the right bank of the Volga River and west of the Ural Mountains. After crossing the river, it was the territory of the White Guards. They either pulled out strong men or became bandits. Only a few people returned to their hometowns to continue working in agriculture.

Many of the people who stayed on the left bank of the Volga River were directly coaxed by Krasnov and Denikin's White Guard regime to join the White Guard. As for those prisoners of war with Belarusian and Ukrainian origin, they had already been taken back by the two regimes that had declared **. This road would not work!"

Zinoviev gently knocked on the table and rejected the possibility of re-scoring troops from the prisoners who had been dismissed from the last time he returned to his hometown to join in the supplementary Soviet Red Army.

"Then mobilize the working class to participate in the supplementary Soviet Red Army. The 500,000 troops can be collected. The key is that there is a lack of weapons and ammunition, and the food problem must be solved. All of this depends on the result of the negotiations between Chechev and Rudendorf in Berlin. Chechev didn't know what he was doing. He has been to Berlin for so long but has not yet achieved a result!" Bukharin shouted, waving his arm.

"Bukharin said it well, and even if the 300,000 prisoners of war were available, we didn't discuss it last time? To learn from the lesson of the Eastern Front's southern cluster defeat on the right bank of the Volga River, our Soviet Red Army's fighting will is not firm enough, and many soldiers' ideological qualities are not pure. Those who were captured by the Germans easily weakened their legs and put down their weapons in the face of the advantages of the coalition forces, so they would rather not use it than take risks!" Ulyanov waved his arm and said.

"We must carry forward the role of Bolshevik Party members as the mainstay in the Soviet Red Army, retrain political cadres in the army, and educate our soldiers, who are you fighting!" Bukharin is a People's Propaganda Committee and editor-in-chief of Pravda. When this guy is thinking about it normally, it is a set of tricks that can be fascinating.

"Tarizin and Comrade Joseph's estimate of the difficulties are insufficient. In the Ufa Battle, the Southern Cluster of the Middle East Front and the Ninth Army of Yegorov, the combined main force of nearly 300,000 people, 50 artillery companies with a total of 300 cannons, and there were more than 20 heavy machine gun battalions. In this case, it still failed. The Southern Front now has only two army 120,000, and there are limited artillery and machine guns. In this case, it is too optimistic and lacks basis to say that it can defend Saratov from the front line of Chalizin!"

Trotsky spread his hands, obviously while appreciating the combat spirit of Chalizin, he did not think that the current strength of the Southern Front could realize their commitment to Moscow in the telegram. So many prerequisites are not enough now. When the conditions are met, the Ufa coalition forces have already crossed the river!

No matter how stupid Ulyanov was, he could see that at most, Chalizin believed that the Southern Front could defend south of Saratov and gained reinforcement of troops and air defense weapons. Although it might be a good idea to lease the air force from the German-Austrian allies, it is not a good idea to really make things happen if you really want to talk about it. I really don’t know about the Year of the Monkey and Horse Month. Germany has been suffering from the insufficient number of aircraft when fighting with the Allies on the Western Front. How could there be any extra aircraft to lend to the Soviet Union in this case?

"It is too early to say that the Volga region front army is formed. The most urgent task is to replenish and restore the forces of the Eastern Front as soon as possible. Nizhny Novgorod's arsenal should hurry up and produce cannons and machine guns. As for rifles, Chechev and the Germans can ask for them. They seized many Mosinnagan rifles from the Tsarist Russian army. Moreover, because they were different from Mauser's standard, it would be useless for them to keep them!" Ulyanov said with his hands behind his back and turned around.

"Since the comrades of Chalizin do not agree to give up Chalizin, how can we continue the negotiations with the Ufa coalition?" Zinoviev asked afterwards.

"Think about it, what other ways are there to not give up Chalijin and to cease war with the Ufa coalition forces? What personal preferences does that Chinese king have? Is it possible to buy the other party? There are a lot of Tsar's jewelry and antiques stored there, and we can bribe the Chinese king!

As long as his coalition forces can't agree, everything else will be easy to discuss! We are not afraid of crossing the White Guards. Neither Kolchak nor Krasnov and Denikin, there are no strong air force or aircraft, and they cannot take advantage of us!" Ulyanov frowned and looked at the Central Committee members in front of him.

"Comrade Ulyanov, the method you mentioned is probably difficult to achieve. As far as I know, even if this Chinese king is not the richest guy in the world, at least the richest guy in China, he donated all his property and shares in China to the China Charity Foundation, and the symbolic patent usage fee of the penicillin was also donated to an international charity and science fund. Such people are not something that can be impressed by gold, silver and jewelry!"

Zinoviev grinned and said, "He didn't expect that Comrade Ulyanov, who was the leader of the Bolshevik, would have proposed such a spear in front of so many Central Committee members. Such things are often only appropriate when subordinates like Derrensky or Chichelin. Comrade Chairman was obviously a little sick and rushed to seek medical treatment and didn't care about his own behavior."

"Gold, silver and jewelry cannot impress him, so what about beauty? Does he like the beauty? Derrensky, is there a suitable person to choose from? What kind of noble daughter is the princess in the side of the Bolsheviks? Is there any good girl who can sacrifice her life for the Bolshevik cause?" Ulyanov rolled his eyes and asked with anticipation.

"Uh...Comrade Chairman, most of the children of Tsarist Russian nobles either followed their families to the right bank of the Volga River, or were suppressed and exiled with their families in the torrent of the revolution. However, there is always a way to find a few beautiful ladies... There will be a way... but that Chinese king... would he be greedy for women?" Derrensky said blankly.

"It is done by man, it is done by man, and the revolution is not a treat to the meal. Isn't there an old saying in the Chinese? Is it Confucius or Mencius? "Food, color, nature." As long as it is a human, it has its shortcomings. Do you dare to say that you don't like beauties?

Aha, blushed, Comrade Derrensky, the Bolsheviks are also human, and the Chinese king of the Ufa coalition is also human. I heard of this last time that this Chinese king was in a golden house in Beijing and took several concubines in one breath. Such people must like beauty!

This matter is left to you. You must prepare it for me within three days. One is definitely not good. The more you have, the better. Twin twin sisters are the best. You must be well educated and have a stunning figure and appearance. Nonsense! Of course you need a virgin!"

The Soviet Central Committee members in the conference room stared at Ulyanov, who was proudly slacking off his hands and arranged tasks for Derrensky with his hands behind his back, were stunned for a moment!
Chapter completed!
