July 21, 1918 at 14:00 Samara Alliance Command

For former senior Soviet Red Army generals such as Slaven and Yegorov, they never expected that they would stay and serve allegiance to the Volga Federation in the morning and reunite with their families at noon. At 2 o'clock in the afternoon, in the lounge next to the conference room, the orderly dispatched by the coalition command promoted the ten former Soviet senior Soviet generals to the brand new and straight Volga Federation Army uniforms.

"His Excellency Slaven, this is your military uniform. Do you want me to help you put it on? The military uniforms have been driven out in the past two days, and the sizes are made based on your own body size in the prisoner-of-war camp. Is it suitable?" A young Russian Federation lieutenant said to Slaven with a smile. The lieutenant was holding a military uniform, armed belt and horse boots.

The other Soviet generals next to him realized that they were still wearing Soviet Red Army uniforms, but they didn't have a seal, and their old faces turned red. Fortunately, it was not only Slaven who entered the lounge, but the other soldiers wearing new federal uniforms and second lieutenant also found their corresponding generals with the new uniforms in their hands.

The spacious lounge was not a burst of marvels. Yegorov thought to himself, Damn, we only nodded in the morning. The Volga Federation measured the size two days ago to make new military uniforms. Obviously, we were sure that we would not change our minds and go back to the Soviet Union. We did not really say that we would go back to the Soviet Union. When we thought of this, Yegorov's old face turned red and he lowered his head to look at his new military uniform in his hand.

Then the guy opened his eyes wide and looked at the epaulettes and collars on his military uniform. He couldn't believe his eyes. He rubbed it for a while and then asked in a trembling voice, "Comrade Lieutenant, are you sure this is the military uniform for me?"

It turned out that the Volga Federal rank logo designed by Wang Geng borrowed the luxurious style of the former Tsarist Russian army. Yegorov saw at a glance that the collar and epaulette in front of him looked a little different from the Tsarist Russian era, but the two beautiful black double-headed eagles embroidered with gold thread were clearly visible. He originally planned to be a regiment commander or something from the beginning, but the double-headed eagle that only Tsarist generals had before were also the rank logo of the navy!

"Are you Mr. Alexander Ilych Yegorov? Lieutenant General, this is your military uniform. Look, two double-headed eagles, congratulations, Lieutenant General of the Army!" The Russian lieutenant was obviously in a good mood after changing into his new military uniform, and said to Yegorov with a smile.

He actually became a lieutenant general? Yegorov couldn't believe his eyes. Several other Slaven and Lezhevsky who had obtained military uniforms here also shouted in surprise. Everyone got together to gesture. Now it became clear that Slaven, Lezhevsky, Yegorov and Stripin's military uniforms were all the lieutenant generals of two double-headed eagles, while others, such as Eh, Bulumberg, Hevsing and Gayi, were all the ranks of a major general of a black double-headed eagle.

Now everyone in the conference room was surprised and happy. The commander-in-chief of the coalition forces did not say the specific position arrangement in the morning. Judging from this, it is possible to be a division commander! Lezevsky was the first to wear a full military uniform. While wearing his boots with the help of his Russian lieutenant, he shouted,

"I didn't expect that we could be generals again, at least command a division, right? I said, old guys, everyone must be energetic. I think this coalition commander-in-chief is a master who is willing to pay for his capital!"

The other people were also happy, especially Steeping, who was like Slaven, Lezhevsky and Yegorov, who were the commanders of the Soviet Red Army before they were captured. It would be reasonable to be a lieutenant general here. Why did his army chief also become a lieutenant general? This made Steeping's heart surging for a while, and he didn't know where he met the commander-in-chief of the coalition forces.

On the side, Eh buttoned the major general's uniform and said sourly, "Brother Steepin, your Southern Front Army will have two lieutenant generals from the Volga Federation. I, the chief of staff of the Fifth Army, have only become a major general. I will ask you to support me in the future!"

Steepin was just a lieutenant colonel in the Tsarist Russian army, so how could he dare to be a big shot in front of Eh, a guy who had been the Russian division commander of Tsarist Russians. This guy said embarrassedly, "Or let's change it, or I'm still worried that the coalition forces made a mistake!"

A few young Russian lieutenants beside him smiled whisperingly and said boldly, "Lieutenant General Steeping, this is not wrong. We will ask you to give me one or two more support in the future!"

Several former Soviet generals, the newly released lieutenant generals and major generals of the Volga Federation, changed into brand new uniforms, and indeed their spirits were very different. Although they did not understand how the coalition forces used the navy's double-headed eagle logo for the army's rank, but no matter what, it would be even more inappropriate if it was the same as Kolchak's. Besides, the double-headed eagle was much more eye-catching than the gold threads and color blocks on the previous army's rank logo.

In fact, although the eaves are the double-headed eagle logo, the collar seal is still a few Venus logos like the Tsarist Russian military rank. It is estimated that the collar seal is small in size, so it is not suitable to embroider such a large pattern.

Soon, the combat staff of the coalition command entered the conference room and invited everyone to go out to attend the title award. It turned out that today was the title award and appointment ceremony of the heads of the eight armies of the Volga Federal Army after the reorganization of the army. Although everyone killed to the death a week ago, they could obviously greet each other in Russian soon. Pepelyaev and Barayanov were quite polite to Slaven and Yegorov.

However, the new commanders of several cavalry troops, including Nezhkov and Petrovic, two new commanders of the army, looked a little ignorant of the former Soviet generals, the lieutenant generals who had just joined the prisoner camp. If it weren't for the face of Commander-in-Chief Wang Geng, they might have sarcasticated the two sides to fight directly, and suddenly allowed the other party to occupy the positions of four army commanders, which made Nezhkov and Petrovic a little indignant.

Before the military meeting, Wang Geng, who also served as the commander-in-chief of the Volga Federal Armed Forces, first announced the appointments of various armies after the reorganization of the army. Now, the four Slaven and Yegorovs who had just put on the uniforms of the Federal Army were completely suppressed. Damn, this is too big! It is not counted as lieutenant generals, but he is actually the commander of the army!

Slaven, Lezevsky and Yegorov looked at each other, with no other distractions in his heart except for the idea of ​​dying for his confidant. Stripin had already had a huge sense of happiness that was filled with enthusiasm.

As the commander-in-chief of the Volga Federation Armed Forces, Wang Geng announced the following titles and appointments:

1. Ufa Army, commander Barayanov, was appointed as the general of the army, and was in charge of the 1st, 2nd and 3rd Divisions of the Ufa Infantry

8. Ural Army, commander Nezhkov, was appointed as a cavalry lieutenant general, and was in charge of the 22nd Division, the 23rd Division and the 24th Division

In addition, the four reorganized cavalry troops were appointed and awarded as follows:

1. The First Ural Cavalry Army, Commander Chabayev, was appointed as the lieutenant general of the cavalry, and was in charge of the 1st and 2nd Ural Cavalry Divisions

2. The Second Volga Cavalry Army, Commander Sergei, was appointed as the lieutenant general of the cavalry, and the 3rd and 4th Volga Cavalry Divisions

3. The Third Army of the Don Cavalry, Negev, commander of the cavalry, was appointed as the lieutenant general, and the 4th and 5th Divisions of the Don Cavalry

4. The Fourth Voronezh Cavalry Army, Commander Berriev, Lieutenant General of the Cavalry, the 6th and 7th Divisions of the Samara Cavalry

In addition to Slaven, Lezhevsky, Yegorov and Stripin, four reused commanders and lieutenant generals of the army, Eh, Bulumberg, Knyagnitsky and Hevsin, the other four major generals, including Eh, Bulumberg, Knyagnitsky and Hevsin, served as chief of staff of the army.

As for Gayi and Kharchenko, because Maxin was voluntarily deported back to the Soviet Union, Tukhachevsky broke through again. Therefore, these two major generals from the Bolshevik political commissar did not lead troops directly, but served as the chief and deputy commanders of the Federal National Guard, responsible for the organization and construction of militias within the federal government. Kharchenko was appointed as the commander of the Volga River Fleet, responsible for the establishment of the Volga Federation naval army.

After the lively and exciting appointment and award ceremony, all the commanders of the army group of Volga Federation and the commanders of the four cavalry troops stayed to attend the military meeting. At the same time, the Chinese division commanders of the coalition and the three Japanese division commanders did not enter the conference room. In addition to all the deputy commanders of the General Huang Jingbo, the commander of the coalition air force, also appeared in front of everyone for the first time.

At 15:00 on July 21, 1918, the first extremely important military meeting of the coalition forces after the Battle of Ufa was held in full swing!
