    "This is wrong. Even in this way, the strength of the attacking side is far inferior to that of the defending side. Bubnov, you and Voroshilov originally commanded the Ukrainian 5th Army to guard Kharkov. The Germans only sent one reserve  When the infantry regiment goes into battle, it will help Simon Petlyura's Ukrainian White Army drive you out of the city, right? Why is it turned upside down now? If you say it is the main force of the Chinese participating armies, then this is reasonable, for a small country.  The Army is a third-rate bastard. How could it be so good at driving the Germans out of Kharkov? That¡¯s a complete 47th Infantry Division!¡±

    Ulyanov scratched his head, wondering if the Allied battle report in the intelligence obtained by the informant in Berlin was a bit exaggerated. In the Battle of Ufa, either the Allied forces had absolute air superiority or the equipment of the Soviet Red Army.  Not as good as the coalition forces, this battle will not be a total defeat. At this moment, he knows that the Ukrainian National Army is a force that the Germans spent a lot of money to arm with all German equipment. In terms of firepower and combat effectiveness, it is definitely better than the current Soviet Red Army.  Moreover, the myth of the German Army's invincibility on the Eastern Front was no longer a day or two. How could the new Ukrainian capital Kharkiv be lost in three days and four nights?  

    Bubnov, a member of the Soviet Central Committee, was the chairman of the Ukrainian Military Council at the time, but his relationship with Voroshilov and Chervina, who led the troops under his command, was not harmonious. Moreover, the Ukrainian 5th Army was originally composed of complex elements, including speculators and the working class.  , peasant soldiers were mixed together, and their equipment and training were poor, and food was extremely scarce. Therefore, they collapsed as soon as they caught fire with Simon Petliura's national army, which was armed to the teeth by the Germans. The German reserve infantry regiment  Without even seeing the retreating figure of the Ukrainian Red Army, Voroshilov ran faster than a rabbit on a train!  

    At this moment, when Chairman of the Soviet Central Committee Ulyanov asked him such a casual question, Bubnov's old face suddenly turned red. The guy stood up and waved his arms and explained, "Vladimir Ilyich, this is completely  It cannot be compared. At that time, the Ukrainian 5th Army had no more than 10,000 men. On average, three people had one old-fashioned rifle. Each gun had no more than 10 rounds of ammunition. There were almost no cannons and artillery shells. What was even worse was that Kharkov was out of food.  , the surrounding countryside was plowed several times by the Cheka grain collection teams, but they couldn't get a single grain Tsaritsyn, controlled by Joseph, did not provide us with support as scheduled You can't blame us for this.  !¡±

    "Bubnov is right. At that time, Moscow repeatedly urged Tsaritsin to support Kharkov, otherwise Ukraine would ask the Germans to chase the Ukrainian White Army and take it away. But what did Joseph say? Don White Guard Army  Under the leadership of Krasnov and Denikin, we are attacking Tsaritsyn. We cannot transport a single grain or bullet. On the contrary, we also ask Moscow to make a decision to abandon Kharkov and Ukraine and put Ukraine  The Red Army withdrew to Tsaritsyn and came to defend Tsaritsyn together!¡± The speaker was Zinoviev, member of the Soviet Central Committee, chairman of the Moscow Soviet and deputy editor of Pravda.

    With Kamenev taking charge of the Volga Military District and Front Headquarters in Nizhny Novgorod, on the Moscow side, Andrei Sher, the Soviet Central Committee member and former Chairman of the Tsaritsyn Soviet, inherited most of Joseph's posts.  Gayevich Bubnov quickly got along with Zinoviev. In fact, when Soviet Russia and the German and Austrian Allies were negotiating the Brest-Litovsk Peace Treaty, the two had reached a tacit understanding and unity.  position, so now Zinoviev stands up to speak for Bubnov, and by the way, steps on the head of Joseph who has been dismissed and placed under house arrest.

    "There is no point in saying this. Comrades, the first issue to be solved today is that Wilhelm Greiner, the commander-in-chief of the German forces in Ukraine, made a direct request to us, asking us to open the border and allow the German troops in the direction of Kiev to pass through Soviet Russia.  Territory, attack the Kursk region in a roundabout way, which is the westernmost state of the Volga Federation!" Trotsky, chairman of the Supreme Military Council of the Soviet Union, lightly knocked on the table and brought everyone's attention back.  "The situation on the front line has basically stabilized. Timoshenko's cavalry has merged with Budyonni's troops after breaking through. The remaining besieged troops retreated into the demilitarized buffer zone and became prisoners of war of the Volga Federation. The 10th Army and the 8th Army  The main force of the group army has arrived in Saransk along the railway line and has joined forces with Tukhachev's 1st Group Army. On the northern line, the White Guards retreated to Cheboksary, and the forward position was placed on the Yabolin line, forming a relative formation with the river.  Strict direction" Sverdlov muttered while looking at the battle map on the wall.  "Comrades, since Kolchak has given us a temporary sigh of relief, let's talk about whether to agree to the Germans' request to use the road" Ulyanov waved his hand, indicating that everyone could speak freely.  , while walking over by himself, he picked a piece of watermelon from the fruit plate on the table and started to eat it. It was the hottest time in the afternoon. Although the Kremlin was tall, bright and well-ventilated, it was still a bit hot.

    It should be said that supplies in Moscow are still extremely scarce at the moment. Fruits, vegetables and food are not rich. These watermelons are the harvest after the guards planted them in the corner of the garden.It was a taste for Ulyanov and his comrades. Seeing Comrade Chairman gnaw on watermelon, all the central committee members in the room were not polite and stepped forward to eat the watermelon. The watermelon that had been treated with well water was now  It was so sweet and delicious that the central committee members in a room full of melons obviously couldn't find time to express their opinions.

    Fortunately, no one could eat more than two slices. After finishing the watermelon and washing their faces under the service of the orderlies, the central committee members began to formally discuss the German requirements.  "This melon is not bad. I should have asked the Guardsmen to make more varieties. How long have you not eaten such fresh watermelon? Last time, Joseph sent a batch of early-ripening varieties from Tsaritsyn, right?" Soviet Russian Central Committee Member, "  Bukharin, the editor-in-chief of Pravda, was a foul-mouthed man, and he inadvertently brought out Joseph, a problematic figure, which attracted the eyes of several other central committee members.

    Seeing that something was wrong, the guy hurriedly changed the subject and said, "Well, I don't think we can allow the Germans to borrow the passage. Now we are in a life-and-death decisive battle with Kolchak's White Guards. At this time, if the Germans are allowed to borrow the passage,  Attack the Volga Federation, the consequences will be terrible!"

    August 1, 1918, 14:00, Moscow, Kremlin, large conference room

    "The Germans have just lost Kharkov. I think their excuse is false. They want to drag us into a war with the Allied forces on the Eastern Front. That is their real intention and purpose!"
