Chapter 576 (Part 2) The End of Peace

In this way, after 15:00 pm on July 22, 1918, an amazing scene appeared on the left bank of the Volga River. The White Guard Cossack Cavalry of the two divisions rode westward, and one kilometer behind was the 37th Infantry Division of the 10th Soviet Army. The troops of the 38th Division were also moving westward in a marching queue rather than fighting posture.

The sky was flying in the sky, with coalition fighter jets that had increased to 5 flight squadrons under surveillance and escort. The 39th Soviet Infantry Division, which landed in Jetchki, also moved to the west obediently. The Soviet Infantry Division of the four divisions near Simbiersk also drove west with surprise under the order of the Army Command. As for Sezlan, the two wings, the four divisions of the 8th Soviet Army began to leave the garrisoned positions in a steady stream. The two divisions took the train and the other troops walked towards the west.

The most tragic thing is the river area fleet of the Volga Front of the Soviet Red Army. Nearly 20 gunboats, frigates and gunboats were pinching their noses toward the northwest Port of Borgar. Above their heads are the surveillance and escorts of the Handlipedi 0400 heavy bomber squadron of three coalition air force air force.

Such a strange battle scene became the headlines in major media around the world a few days later, with the title saying that the King of China made another strange move, the coalition air force captured the captives and seized the Soviet Volga River Fleet!

Of course, if the officers and soldiers of the Volga region fleet of the Soviet Red Army knew that they would be disarmed by the coalition forces after sailing to the Port of Borgar, instead of simply "on-board inspection", they would probably be able to fight to the death and not just sail to Borgar for slaughter!

Moscow thought that the bitter fruit he swallowed could be exchanged for the friendship of the Volga Federation and the uncensored side of the coalition forces and continued to maintain a neutral position, but nothing could be so simple. Under the pressure of the upcoming Ukraine Battle and the Southern Battle, the coalition forces and the Volga Federation remained restrained and calm in the north, but they did not intend to stand by and watch and just act as audiences.

For example, after the tenth and eighth Soviet army of the Soviet Union evacuated the Tecchi, Simbirsk and Sezlan, the local security situation plummeted, and scattered soldiers and bandits emerged one after another. Not to mention, rumors spread in the demilitarized zone on the left bank of the Volga River, and it was spread everywhere that the Soviet government had abandoned Tharizin, Saratov, Voronezh and Kursk, and gave up land within 50 kilometers of the left bank of the Volga River. This place was either occupied by the Kolchak Bell Guards or taken away by the Volga Federation.

Instead of being killed by the Cossacks of the White Guards to settle the harm to the people, it is better to ask the Volga Federation to take over this land. Anyway, the Volga Federation's "Land Management Measures" and "Three-Seven Five Rent Reduction Regulations" are much stronger than the surplus grain collection system and wartimeism?

The Soviet Union did not expect that his compromise and concessions would actually destroy the Volga River Fleet. Of course, the coalition forces were only detaining the Volga River Fleet in the Port of Borgar at this moment, and did not bluntly say that they had captured and occupied this river Fleet with spectacular tonnage and firepower.

But what the Soviet Union did not expect was that the land, cities and people within 50 kilometers of the left bank, which was classified as a demilitarized zone, were extremely likely to be taken for themselves by the Volga Federation in a blink of an eye. An unprecedented crisis of trust hangs above the head of the Central Committee of the Soviet Union of Moscow!

8:00 on July 23, 1918

"What a hell! The demilitarized demilitarized by the Volga Federation on the left bank of the Volga River required by the Volga Federation only took less than a day. The main forces of the Eighth and Tenth Army had just evacuated the demilitarized zone. The Volga Federation submitted a diplomatic note to us again!" The People's Commissar of the Diplomatic People's Commissar Cherlin walked into the conference room with a black smoke ring and a telegram.

"Hmm? What exactly? What is the Volga Federation? Behind it is the Allied Alliance and the Chinese King who are manipulating it!" Soviet Central Committee Member Bukharin said angrily.

Ulyanov, Trotsky and Sverdlov were just studying and discussing the combat situation on the Northern Line in front of the map. He was stunned when he heard this, and his three pairs of eyes looked at Chechelin in unison!

The People's Commissar of Diplomacy had no choice but to raise the telegram in his hand, but was accidentally snatched by Bukharin and started reading it directly:

To the Soviet People's Committee

Diplomatic People's Commissar Cherlin

July 23, 1918 7:50

In view of the sudden decline in the public security and situation in the demilitarized areas, scattered soldiers and robbed fires everywhere to invade the people. This situation seriously affected the daily life and order of the residents on the border of the Volga Federal.

It also poses a huge threat to the lives and property of citizens who still live on the left bank of the Volga River but belong to the Volga Federation. We require the Soviet government to take effective measures to stabilize the public security and social order in the demilitarized zone. Otherwise, we will have to consider taking effective measures and means to protect the safety of our expatriates!

You are restricted to effectively restore public security and order in the demilitarized zone by noon today. Otherwise, we reserve the right to take further action!

Federal Republic of Volga

Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs

Vasily Nikolayevich Pepelyaev

From Samara

This telegram sent in the name of the Volga Federation stunned the bigwigs of the Kremlin Soviet Central Committee, and the conference room was silent for a moment.

July 23, 1918 8:05 Kremlin, Moscow

"This is definitely a blackmail. I said comrades, the Soviet Central Committee members, we must not give in again and again, otherwise the Volga Federation will dare to ask us to withdraw from Moscow and Petersburg next time!" Bukharin, the Soviet Propaganda People's Committee and editor-in-chief of Pravda, waved his arms and shouted in anger after reading the telegram!

"Hasn't our Soviet Red Army withdrawn from the demilitarized zone for only a dozen hours? Is the local situation so bad?" Zinoviev couldn't help but say.

"Yakov Mikhailovich, is the situation on the left bank of the Volga River so bad? Did the local Soviet government and the workers' pickets do nothing?" Ulyanov's face was also a little unfair.

Speaking of which, from Nizhny Novgorod to fifty kilometers north of Saratov, the Volga River in this area is under the jurisdiction of the newly established Volga Military Region, and it also implements an administrative and command management system that integrates military and political affairs. Therefore, Ulyanov turned his doubts to his close partners, the new Volga Military Region and the Front Commander Sverdlov.

"Pepelyayev of the Volga Federation is of course exaggerating, but some chaos in the local situation is also possible. On the one hand, we fought with Kolchak in the north, and the Third Army has all retreated to Cheboksare and gave up the land within 120 kilometers from the south bank of Kazan to Cheboksare;

On the other hand, the 10th Army and the 8th Army retreated west in a hurry yesterday afternoon. Some Soviet staff and families also retreated with the troops. The people in the demilitarized zone did not know the truth, and the enemy spread rumors, so the local situation became chaotic!”

Sverdlov answered Ulyanov helplessly, but this guy was scolding in his heart. The local Soviets in this demilitarized area were all a group of things. Once the troops retreated, they followed the troops and their families to run together. How could the people not panic? What's more, rumors were flying everywhere, and the scattered soldiers and bandits that appeared might be the destructors who smuggled from the right bank of the Volga River.
