Chapter 494 Military Region and Front Army Selection
July 14, 1918 21:30 Moscow Kremlin
The Chairman of the Central Committee of the Soviet Union kicked the ball at the feet of Trotsky, the Chairman of the Supreme Revolutionary Military Commission. His attitude was insincere. Obviously, Trotsky had joined hands with Ulyanov to sing a double act on the issue of adjusting Comrade Joseph's position, and on the issue of prisoners of war, both sides finally made compromises.
Now, the people of the Volga Military Region and Volga Front Army that were planned to be established have become the focus of attention of all factions in the Central Committee. In Ulyanov's view, the first move is controlled by others, and then the later moves to control others. Moreover, Trotz is basically the chairman of the Supreme Military Commission who is in charge of the military. It is a relatively safe way to propose that people and then carefully consider the balance.
When Ulyanov said this, Trotsky pondered, but Sverdlovkaminev's eyes lit up
Sverdlov is not only a people's committee member of the Central Committee of the Soviet Union and vice chairman of the Supreme Military Commission. This guy took over as commander of the Southern Cluster last time, but it was reasonable to run for a superstar. Sverdlov came to lead the Volga Military Region and Front Army to be established.
Although the leaders of the Volga Military Region and Front Army were discussed, all the Central Committee members here knew that if this candidate could not be impeccable from all aspects, then it was very likely that Comrade Joseph, who had been deceived back to Moscow, would go wild. We must select a candidate who would at least make Joseph mute and berberine unable to fight with him.
If we were based on the position of leaving Charizin and Comrade Joseph with nothing to say, Vasedith, the commander of the Eastern Front and Sergyn, the commander of the Southern Front, were not qualified and prestige. Vasedith was a little better. At least he had become an alternate member of the Soviet Central Committee, and Sergyn's qualifications were far inferior. Both of them were from former Tsarist generals who were military experts of the type of military experts.
The Supreme Soviet Military Commission of Russia, where Trotsky served as chairman, was established on March 4, 1918. In Wang Geng's previous life, the Soviet Military Command was not replaced by the newly established Soviet Revolutionary Military Commission until September 2, 1918. Before that, local military regions and fronts had already established their own revolutionary military commissions.
Generally, the Revolutionary Military Commission of a Front Army will consist of a commander and at least two Revolutionary Military Commissioners and the top leadership of the Front Army. All important orders must be signed by the military chief and the Revolutionary Military Commission members before they can take effect.
Joachim Joachim Vatestis was born in Latvia in 1873. He was a professional from the Tsarist Russian Military Academy. During the European War, he commanded a Latvian infantry division on the Eastern Front.
The infantry division commanded by Vatesdes was the only established team of the Soviet Red Army that lies down from the old Tsarist Russian army. Latvian farm workers and poor peasants hated the nobles of He'an in Polo.
The Tsar used their social hatred to fight against Germany, so the Latvian Infantry Regiment was the most elite unit in the Tsarist army. After the February Revolution in 1917, almost all the Latvian Infantry Divisions became Bolsheviks. During the October Revolution, the division commanded by Vates played a major role.
In Trotsky's view, Vatestis was smart, capable, active, resourceful, and showed his skills when smashing the left-wing Social Revolutionary Party's riots. Under his command, he laid a few small cannons opposite the Conspirator Command, and used only two or three direct shots - in order to deter and not to kill - and scared the thugs to flee in all directions - and fleeing in all directions - in order to deter and not to kill them - so as to scare the thugs to scatter.
The first commander of the Eastern Front, Muravyov, a leftist revolutionary who Trotsky called the adventurer, took over his position as commander of the Eastern Front after the failure of the rebellion on the Eastern Front.
Unlike other old officers from Tsarist Russian military academies, Vates did not panic in the whirlpool of the revolution. Even in trouble, he worked vigorously and vigorously. He kept calling for encouragement and orders, and even when the order was not completed, he still gave orders. In Trotsky's view, Vates was a model for the old soldiers to rejuvenate their youth and strength after they switched to the Bolshevik camp.
In just one and a half years, Vatediz was elected as an alternate member of the Soviet Central Committee of the Soviet Union, amid the contributions of the February and October Revolutions, and the contributions of dispersing the Constitutional Assembly to suppress the riots of the left-wing social revolutionaries in the bloody incident in January this year. In March, Vatediz was elected as an alternate member of the Soviet Union's Central Committee. This is the highest position he has held in the party as of the former Tsarist Russian military.
Trotsky admires Vates' talent very much, and never doubts the loyalty of this guy to the Soviets and the Bolsheviks. Vates' performance is also remarkable. He is not as afraid of overtaking his authority like other "experts", but Vates's on the contrary. He issued a decree on the whim, forgetting the existence of the People's Committee and the Central Committee of the All Russia.
In Wang Geng's previous life, it was not until about a year later that Vates was accused of his ulterior motives and complicated relationships. Trotsky had to replace him under pressure from the Soviet central government, but there was no important evidence of guilt in these accusations. Vates also died in the 1938 purge by Joseph in his previous life.
If there was no failure of the Eastern Front South Cluster in the Battle of Ufa, for Trotsky, the commander of the Eastern Front, the alternate member of the Soviet Central Committee, Joachim Joachimovich Vatesdes, was the first choice to take charge of the Volga Military Region and the Front Army.
However, the main force of the Middle Eastern Front Army lost four-fifths of the battle of Ufa, and the Southern Front Army was twice as strong as that of the Eastern Front Army. In addition, the victory of the three consecutive battles of defending the Chalijin Battle, the power of the Southern Front Army and their demands built by Joseph must be satisfied to a certain extent before things can be moved forward.
Especially when the Central Committee was preparing to adjust the leadership team of Charizin and transfer Joseph back to Moscow to arrange work separately, the commander of the Eastern Front Army Vatestis, who led the New Volga Military Region and Front Army, which were the main forces of the Eastern Front Army and the Southern Front Army, obviously could not convince the public.
What's more, Vacchidis seems to be more capable and less enterprising when he is in office as commander of the Eastern Front. He has been suppressed by Kolchak, who is entrenched in Kazan, and cannot launch an offensive and make progress. Or is Kolchak the nemesis of Vacchidis?
Trotsky pondered and felt a little difficult for a moment. If Vates was in charge of the Volga Military Region and the Volga Front Army, if there was no suitable person in the Front Army and the Army below, there would be no suitable person in the Central Committee and the Soviet Union. Since Joseph had been excluded, the remaining Bubnov would obviously be even worse.
The commanders of the Southern Front, Voroshilov and Chernaveng, would never accept Bubnov, the Ukrainian madman, to lead them again.
Then the only candidates left are Sverdlov and himself. As the chairman of the Supreme Military Commission of All Russia and the commander of the Red Army, it is obviously inappropriate to delegate himself to lead a front and military region. Although the Volga Military Region and Front Army will become the Great Wall of Steel to defend the Soviets in the future, he obviously cannot leave Moscow and the Central Committee easily.
It seems that Comrade Ulyanov has seen this a long time ago. Who is more suitable except Comrade Sverdlov?
Sweldlov is only 33 years old, but he has been a member of the Central Committee since 1912. In fact, he went to the October Revolution, which decided to live and die last year. Because Ulyanov was wanted by Kerensky, the Provisional Government, lived in seclusion.
In the early stage, those who really prepared and organized the October Revolution were actually Trotsky and Sverdlov, which was the pair of partners. Therefore, Sverdlov was familiar with military affairs and was also a legitimate military deputy commander under Trotsky.
Moreover, Sverdlov is deeply trusted by Comrade Ulyanov. Obviously, at this moment, this guy is the best candidate sent by the Central Committee to lead the Volga Military Region and the Front Army.
"I suggest that Comrade Yakov Mikhainovich form and take charge of the Volga Military Region and Front Army. Vatestis and Sedin can be his deputy, while Voroshilov and Chernavin can serve as military members of the Front Revolutionary Military Commission."
Trotsky, chairman of the Supreme Military Commission, finally proposed his own plan
Ulyanov smiled and nodded, turning his gaze to Sverdlov who was pointed. Sverdlov was both shining and shining. Obviously, after failing to be a firefighter in the South Cluster, the prospect of being able to manage the two fronts at one hand made the guy who ranked third in the Central Committee excited.
"Yakov Mikhainovic is of course the best person. But he is the vice chairman of the Supreme Military Commission. He usually serves as the assistant of Comrade Trotsky in the central government to manage the entire army. He is also a people's committee member of the People's Committee. The party organization and personnel management work are also quite heavy. In this case, can Comrade Sverdlov go ahead?"
Kamenev finally couldn't bear to make a profit before Trotsky proposed the plan, and before Comrade Ulyanov made a formal decision, the guy jumped out and expressed different views (Piaotian Literature Registered Member Recommended the work
