"Well, Guillaume, according to our intelligence, although the majority of your Kazan 2nd Army is Tatar soldiers, they only account for about 40%. I guess you think that in the era of war, the people who are willing to eat food and serve as soldiers are the most There are people here, and besides, you can recruit new soldiers who support the All-Russian Provisional Government from the left bank of the Volga River. Since these people did not evacuate with the Soviet Red Army, they will definitely be willing to join the White Guards! Besides, once the Soviet Red Army prisoners of war are obtained, At least you, the landlords, rich peasants, big capitalists and former Tsarist Russian soldiers, can be given priority to join the White Guards! It¡¯s a blessing, not a curse, but there is nothing to be afraid of when you go to sea!¡±
The words of the King of China completely left the representatives of the White Guards speechless. It was obvious that Kazan's plan had long fallen into the eyes of the young but powerful and unarrogant commander-in-chief of the coalition forces, and there was no way to hide it.
Hastings clenched his fists and said firmly, "As long as we get real support from the coalition forces and the Volga Federation, I believe that the morale of the White Guard troops will not decline, because our possibility of victory will be greatly increased. Wouldn¡¯t it be much better to do so? Therefore, Your Excellency Kolchak sent me to Samara in person to make a statement to the Commander-in-Chief, hoping to gain support from you and the Volga Federation!¡±
"Vasily Nikolayevich, you are the Prime Minister of the Volga Federal Government. Do you think the request and conditions given by His Excellency Hastings are feasible?" Wang Geng learned about Hastings from Pepe last night. Tingsi¡¯s intentions and the conditions offered by the other party, but today the two sides are meeting formally for talks, so he first posed the question to Pepelyayev, the federal prime minister.
Pepelyaev actually didn't sleep well last night. As the prime minister of the emerging Volga Federation, his vision and mind are much broader now. Wang Geng has been asking him to consider issues from the standpoint of the Volga Federation. , rather than blindly being the prime minister of a puppet regime, the King of China has repeatedly emphasized that this land always belongs to the people of this land, but who are his friends and enemies, what is the name of the regime, and the people of the Volga River Basin He is the real master of this land!
August 1, 1918, 13:00, Samara, General Headquarters of the Allied Forces, Office of the King of China
Last night, Pepelyayev kept thinking about these inspiring words of the King of China, "Who is the master of this land? Only the people of this land are the real masters!" In the past, he was born in Pepelyaev, a member of the White Guards and Tsarist Russian aristocracy, would certainly not choose to support the Bolshevik regime in Soviet Russia, but would spare no effort to support the White Guards regime in Kashgar.
However, now that the Volga Federation has been established, it has quickly and miraculously become a regional power with an area of ??more than 1 million square kilometers and a population of more than 10 million. In this case, if nothing unexpected happens, there are the Eastern Front Allied Forces of the Allied Powers and the King of China. With the support of the Volga Federation, it is by no means a dream for the Volga Federation to unify all the former Tsarist Russian lands west of the Ural Mountains.
In this case, is the Volga Federation's only option to support the White Guard regime? Although the King of China has not asked this question, Vasily Nikolayevich Pepelyaev himself has been asking himself, you know, Gorcha This regime is called the All-Russian Provisional Government, and he claims to be the supreme governor of all Russia. In fact, the Soviet Bolshevik regime and the Volga Federation formally concluded the "Samara Peace Treaty" to recognize each other's sovereignty, and Kolchak's All-Russian Provisional Government But it did not officially recognize the Soviet Russian regime and the Volga Federation!
This means that Kolchak always regards the White Guard regime as the successor of the former Tsarist Russian government and believes that he is the future master of this land!
"Guillaume Nikolayevich, you and I are old friends and we are very familiar with each other. In front of His Excellency the Commander-in-Chief, everyone should not hide and tuck in. If the coalition forces and the Volga Federation join hands to support Kolchak's White Guard regime , there is a great hope of success in defeating the Soviet Bolsheviks, but what happens next? So far, Kolchak¡¯s regime still claims to be the All-Russian Provisional Government, and he is the supreme governor of all Russia. Who will be responsible for it in the future? Have you ever considered inheriting the land and people left behind by the Tsarist Empire?¡±
Wang Geng was quite applauded when he heard this. Obviously, his efforts have been effective. Vasily Nikolayevich Pepelyayev has gradually transformed from a submissive prime minister of the puppet government to the master of the Volga federal government. Transformation, of course, does not rule out the fact that this guy and Hastings had a tacit understanding before. Both sides sang and played the roles of black face and red face. However, in the dictionary of the Chinese king, conspiracies and tricks were all scheming and placed by him. The upright ideas on the table were defeated and assimilated. He had this confidence and successful experience.
What is an unstoppable historical trend? Let the people live and give them hope. This is the best principle and policy. This is the trend of history! Now that Peipei knows how to think about it, it is a good thing. He will not be able to sit in this position in the future just by relying on his temporary favor.?The position of Prime Minister of the Canadian federal government.
Hastings blushed when he heard this. In his opinion, the Volga Federation has only been established for less than half a month. Although it seems to be a large area and has a large population, the states of the Volga Federation have just replaced It¡¯s just a flag. It¡¯s unknown how long it will take to consolidate the regime, maintain law and order, and collect enough food without causing riots. In comparison, although the Kazan White Guard regime has only one-tenth the population and area of ??the Volga Federation, it has almost won over and the elites who gathered all the big bourgeoisie, aristocrats, landowners, and intellectuals in the pre-Tsarist Russia era. If the coalition forces withdraw and disband in the future, it is still unknown who will be the successor of Tsarist Russia and the owner of this land.
"Guillaume Nikolayevich, Pepe's words represent the position of the Volga Federation. This issue cannot be avoided. Of course, I know that you may just be slowing down the attack. Pepe just said that now, Gorcha The All-Russian Provisional Government in Samara did not recognize the Soviet Bolshevik regime and the Volga Federation. Although his regime was already the smallest and weakest in this land, this was a bit difficult to handle. It is rare for you to come to Samara in person. Well, what do you think about this question?¡±
Wang Geng took a puff of his cigar, and the aroma of green smoke slowly filled the small conference room. Although it was almost the hottest time of the day, the courtyard of the federal government building was lined with green trees, and the office on the second floor had floor-to-ceiling windows. There were still gusts of cool breeze coming through, and the cicadas outside the window were screaming feebly, seeming to remind Hastings that the White Guard regime was in turmoil and it was time to make a choice.
