"About the review of the Ufa Battle, comrades from the Chalizin and the Southern Front have already made careful and careful analysis, analysis of the situation between the enemy and us, and the combat characteristics and command methods of the Ufa coalition forces.

This Sverdlov, Kamenev and Bukharin have all read it. I think that although this telegram from Tharizin cannot be regarded as a comprehensive summary of the Ufa battle, it is well written and has important reference value for our next stage of work, especially how to deal with the Ufa coalition forces!"

Ulyanov was obviously an impatient person. At this moment, there was no time for Sverdlov and Joseph to argue about the two fronts, so he simply pushed the meeting down. His words were quite strategic. At least after saying this, Comrade Joseph obviously became much more happy. Look, Comrade Chairman praised us in public for doing a good job in our summary!

The atmosphere of the meeting was obviously much more relaxed than the tension just now. Ulyanov turned to Sverdlov on the left, "Yakov Mikhailovic, let's talk about this first in the battle of Ufa. What is the next agenda?"

"In the next agenda, in response to the situation after the Ufa battle, comrades from the Charizin and the Southern Front proposed that we should integrate all the Soviet Red Army on the Eastern Front and establish a new Volga Military Region and Front Army to resist the upcoming offensive of the Kolchakbek Guard. That is to say, establishing the Volga Military Region and Front Army is such an issue. Do you have any opinions?"

Sverdlov looked down at the meeting agenda, raised his head and turned the topic to the issue of establishing a new Volga Military Region and Front Army.

The Central Committee members present suddenly became lively, and many people turned their attention to the proud and confident Joseph Visarionovic Jugashvili. Obviously, the so-called thoughts of the comrades of the Southern Front were actually the thoughts of the North Caucasus Military Region and the Southern Front.

Joseph was nervous before, and from Sverdlov and Trotsky's unsightly words, this guy seemed to smell a trace of conspiracy or unknown. However, when Comrade Ulyanov came out to preside over justice, he was quite safeguarding against Charizin and the Southern Front.

And now he soon began to direct the theme of the conference to his biggest demands to return to Moscow - the establishment of the Volga Military Region and Front Army, which naturally gained the power to lead the new Military Region and Front Army. This made Comrade Joseph's tense nerves relax, and a hint of joy naturally appeared on his face. Moreover, judging from the frequent eyes of the Central Committee members present, once the new Military Region and Front Army were established, he would be the best candidate.

"According to the ideas proposed by Charizin and the Southern Front, if a new Russian Volga Military Region and Front Army were established, the remaining main forces of the Eastern Front and Southern Front Army would be included in it. The Volga Military Region would uniformly command the areas, cities, villages and other administrative areas of the Volga River Basin, while the Volga Front Army would have to undertake the combat tasks of the entire Eastern Front!" The speaker was Trotsky, Chairman of the Supreme Military Commission.

Originally, this was the job of Sverdlov, the vice chairman of the Supreme Military Commission, but since Sverdlov was the meeting host and Ulyanov and Trotsky had discussed the new leader of the Volga Military Region and the Front Army, in order to avoid suspicion, Trotsky, the chairman had to personally discuss the preparation of the plan.

"Joseph Vesarionovich, merge the Eastern Front and Southern Fronts into a new Volga Military Region and Front Army. You and the comrades of the Charizin and the Southern Front Army suggested this?" Sverdlov planned to trap Comrade Joseph step by step.

"Indeed, the defeat of the Ufa Battle is related to the fact that the Southern Cluster is composed of the troops of the two fronts. The command systems of the two sides were different, and the combat styles were different. The understanding and communication between the group army and the division-level commanders were not enough. Now with the failure of the Ufa Battle, the Eastern Front suffered significant losses, and the Southern Front also lost one-third of its main force.

In this case, combining the main forces preserved by the two fronts into one, unifying organization, armed, logistical support and command, and implementing the unified military and political administration and military management model in the Volga River Basin is a necessary means for us to deal with the next stage of difficult situations. Therefore, we recommend that the Eastern and Southern Fronts merge into the Volga River Front and undertake all combat tasks on the Eastern Front!”

Comrade Joseph was not vague. While lit the poplar butts in his hand, he narrowed his eyes and clearly confirmed that the plan was proposed by Chalijin.

"Dear Chairman, Central Committee members, how likely is the enemy on the other side of the Volga River to launch an attack? When will Kolchak and the Ufa coalition cross the river? Can the Volga Military Region and Front Army block the enemy?"

The person asking this question was Central Committee Member Gya Sokolinikov, the People's Education Committee of the Soviet People's Committee, and also a veteran Bolshevik leader. In addition to Sverdlov and Derzhinsky, Sokolinikov is also a guy Ulyanov trusts more. Of course, the ranking within the Soviet Central Committee is behind Kamenev and Zinoviev.

"The enemy will definitely launch an attack, and it will be very fast, so we called the emergency Central Committee members to rush back for a meeting, leaving us with little time!" Sverdlov replied quickly.

"Then let's set up the Volga Military Region and the Front Army. What's the difficulty? Is it necessary to hold a meeting for the Central Committee to discuss? Isn't it enough to make a decision and give order? The Soviet Red Army was originally a revolutionary team under the leadership of the Bolsheviks. In any front army, weren't they all trying to defend the Soviets and the red regime?" This time, the Central Committee member in charge of women's and mass work and secretary of the Secretariat.

When the Sixth Congress of the Bolshevik Party elected the Central Committee for the Sixth Congress in August 1917, Stasova and Yuefei were still alternate members of the Central Committee. However, with the continuous changes in the situation after the October Revolution, several Central Committee members of the sixth Central Committee died or were assassinated by the enemy, some were pulled over by the enemy, or announced their own separation from the Bolshevik Party.

Therefore, at the Seventh Emergency Representatives of the Communist Party of Russia (Bolsheviks) held in March 1918, Stasova was elected by the representatives as an alternate Central Committee member at the time of the sixth, and was regarded as the first female Central Committee member of the Bolsheviks.

Yelena Dmitryevna Stasova was born on October 3, 1873 in a lawyer family in Petersburg. After graduating from high school, she participated in the socialist movement in Petersburg. She joined the party when the Russian Social Democratic Labor Party was established in 1898. She was the agent of the "Mars" founded by Ulyanov. In 1903, the Russian Social Democratic Labor Party was split and was the Bolsheviks.

Before 1905, he engaged in the underground revolution of the Bolshevik Party in cities such as Petersburg, Kiev, Minsk, Orel, Smolensk, Yalta and Moscow. He served as secretary of the Petersburg Committee of the Bolshevik Party, secretary of the Northern Bureau of the Central Committee and other leadership positions.

From August 1905 to January 1906, he worked in Geneva on the entrusted by the Central Committee of the Party and worked in Tbilisi from 1907 to 1912. He attended the Sixth Representative Conference of the Russian Social Democratic Labor Party in January 1912 and was elected as an alternate member of the Central Committee of the Bolshevik Party. He was arrested in 1913 and exiled to Siberia. From February 1917 to March 1920, he served as secretary of the Central Committee of the Russian Social Democratic Labor Party (Brazza) and was elected as a member of the Central Committee of the Russian Social Democratic Labor Party (Brazza) at the Seventh Representative Conference of the Russian Communist Party (Brazza) in March 1918.

In Wang Geng's previous life, this outstanding female Bolshevik leader lived longer than Joseph and lived until he was 94 years old. Neither the Great Purge nor the Patriotic War in the 1930s affected her existence in the Bolshevik Party Central Committee.

Of course, at this moment, Yelena Dmitryevna Stasova, who is already 45 years old, is the eldest sister of the Bolshevik Party. She looks like R&F was in good spirits last year, holding a cigarette in her hand, and her quick-talking style is impressive.

"Then, the first proposal of today's meeting is to merge the Eastern Front and Southern Fronts of the Soviet Red Army into the new Volga Front, abolish the original Eastern Front and Southern Fronts, and at the same time merge the Northern Caucasus Military Region and Nizhny Novgorod Military Region into the new Volga Military Region. Please raise your hands if you agree!"

As the secretary of the Soviet Central Secretariat, Sverdlov had long been familiar with the meetings of the Central Committee, and in a few words, he pushed the process to the voting of the first proposal.

Before the guy finished speaking, he raised his hand first, and then the two big bosses Ulyanov and Trotsky around him seemed to be very casual and raised their hands. Obviously, there was no difference between the actual leaders of the Soviet Central Committee on this issue. Under such circumstances, other Central Committee members, including Comrade Joseph, the initiator of the plan, also raised their hands.

"The proposal to establish the Volga Military Region and the Front Army was unanimously approved by all the Central Committee members!" Sverdlov nodded with a relaxed expression, and wrote down something in the notebook, then turned his attention to the Chairman of the Soviet Central Committee beside him, obviously seeking the other party's opinions.

"Ununately passed! Very good, no problem, Yakov Mikhailovic, hurry up, who is the turn to come?" Ulyanov closed the notebook in front of him and said to his close comrades-in-arms.

"The following is about you, Vladimir Ilyic, Comrade Chairman, you will make the next analysis of the diplomatic situation and decision-making suggestions. Oh, no, before you, you must first listen to the results of the diplomatic People's Committee Member of the Diplomatic Cicherin to give you a report on the results of the negotiations with the German-Austrian Allies." Sverdlov looked at the agenda and said.

"Okay, please tell everyone first. We have got some real goods back from Hindenburg and Rudendolf. The price we paid is not small, but it is really not small. I hope it is worth the money. Georgi Vasilyevich, you can report it to everyone!" Ulyanov said cordially to Chechelin, the diplomatic People's Commissar on the side.

"Dear Chairman, Central Committee members, I was appointed by the Soviet Central Committee. This time I went to Berlin and talked with Germany mainly about the issue of prisoners of war and arms assistance, and of course, there were also food issues. Regarding prisoners of war, the Tsarist Russian prisoners of war in the German prisoner of war camp last time we got back 800,000, and there were about 2.6 million people left.

The last time, the 800,000 people were released after negotiations with Rudendolf while the other party had not paid special attention to the issue of prisoners of war and wanted to remove the burden earlier. Of course, our people made preliminary identification and selection in the prisoner-of-war camp, and tried to choose Tsarist Russian prisoners of war who sympathized with or supported the Bolsheviks.

As we all know, Russia has been industrialized lately, and the number of working class is much smaller than that of peasants. Therefore, the main components of the Tsarist Russian army come from peasants, non-commissioned officers, and most of the officers come from the children of nobles, large bourgeoisie, landlords and rich peasants. Therefore, it is quite difficult to select Bolsheviks from Tsarist Russian prisoners of war.”

The Soviet-Russian People's Commissar Georki Vasilyevich Chichelin was born in 1872 in a declined aristocratic family near Moscow. He is a distant relative of the famous poet Pushkin. He is also a graduate of the law department of Moscow University and a veteran Bolshevik party member. When the Soviet Union and Germany negotiated in Brest, Chichelin was Trotsky's deputy.

Later, Trotsky resigned and he took over as the People's Commissar of the Soviet Russian diplomacy. This guy's every move exuded an elegant and elegant look on his body, and he was considered a representative of the moderates in the Central Committee of the Soviet Union.
