Chapter 2531: Situation in Russia
The flames of the First World War were finally extinguished. Whether it was the victorious Germany, the Austro-Hungarian Empire or the defeated Britain and France, they were all repairing the wounds of the war. The casualties and tragic memories of the war left the people with such scars. So deep that even if it is a victorious country, the people are very averse to war. However, to the east of Europe, Russia, which has been torn apart, is still full of smoke. All forces are fighting desperately to fight for the country's power. The cruelty of the battle is no less than that of the eastern battlefield of the year, and the damage to civilians is even greater than during the war. Also scary.
Now, with the gradual end of the two-year Russian civil war, the situation of the war has gradually become clear. The Red Army led by the Bolsheviks has gradually crushed its opponents in the military! The once mighty White Army was divided into two parts, one of which was led by Korninov and Denikin and was forced to retreat in the direction of Ukraine, but here is now the territory of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, commanded by the two The army and accompanying people can only wander around the border area. They cannot enter the territory of the present Austro-Hungarian Empire to the west, nor can they go east, because that is the direction of the enemy. Under Budjoni’s leadership, the Red Army gradually compressed the White Army. And tried to encircle it near the current armistice line, but it was temporarily not implemented because of fear of overstimulating the Austro-Hungarian Empire.
As for the other part, the White Army under the command of Kolchak is retreating in the direction of Asia, but unlike in history, Kolchak cannot retreat to the Far East on this plane, because there are Japanese. , So after crossing the Ural Mountains, Kolchak’s troops began to withdraw to Central Asia. And tried to stand firm here and continue to confront the Red Army.
Relatively speaking, the army commanded by Korninov and Denikin is in the worst position, because they are unable to retreat. To the east is the Red Army who wants to kill themselves, and to the west is the former enemy. , Now that the Confederate Legion whose enemy and our status are unclear, their territory is getting smaller and smaller, and their supplies are getting less and less. If they don’t make a choice, then it’s only a matter of time before they are eliminated!
"We have to make a decision, Denikin. There are only two options. The first is to send a request to the Austro-Hungarian Empire so that we can bring troops and personnel into Ukraine. Kill, they will kill all of us without hesitation!" Korninov said anxiously. Seeing Denikin's bad face, he changed his tone again: "At least we have to buy some grain from the Austro-Hungarian Empire and use the gold in our hands."
Unlike in history, Kolchak, who evacuated eastward, did not carry all the gold. In history, more than 300 tons of gold with a total weight of 500 tons fell into the hands of Denikin and others. In addition, there are a large number of palace treasures, if you are willing to take them out for realisation, at least eating and drinking will not be a problem.
"Then contact the Austro-Hungarian Empire first, and hope that they will provide us with some food and necessary medicines out of humanitarian principles." Denikin said.
"What about then?" Korninov asked next. "It's not that Budjoni is incapable of destroying me. They are just afraid of the other side of the armistice line. If he confirms that the Austro-Hungarian Empire will not overreact, we may not see the sun the next day. We will not. It may be maintained like this. We have hundreds of thousands of troops and more civilians who follow us. The daily consumption is an astronomical figure. I know that you hate the Allies, but now, you must at least follow you. Hundreds of thousands of lives are responsible."
"Just yesterday, more than 300 people died of illness and starvation. In addition, there were more than 800 people who were lost on the front. They were all people who had followed us in the war, including my comrades in the Third Cavalry Army. , There are also your brothers from the Eighth Army. The war is over. Whether it is a war against the Allies or the Russian Civil War, we have done our best. Now we are considering the issue of letting more people survive." Korninov The order in the words is a little messy, he just kept talking.
"Unless we surrender to the Austro-Hungarian Empire, the Austro-Hungarian Empire will not accept us. But surrendering to the Austro-Hungarian Empire means betraying our motherland and nation. The Bolsheviks are our enemy, but the Austro-Hungarian Empire is also Our enemy." Denikin gritted his teeth.
Denikin is a very patriotic man. In history, even if he went to France in exile, he always cared about his motherland, even if the power of this country was his enemy! When the Second World War broke out, he advocated an offensive in which the Russians in exile should reconcile with the country. Even in the Soviet textbooks in the 1980s, Denikin began to be called a patriotic general. Therefore, as the second commander of this army, he was firmly opposed to Korninov's idea of taking refuge in the Austro-Hungarian Empire!
Compared with Denikin, who had served as the commander of the group army at the beginning of the war and had a heavy burden in the army, Korninov was worse off in the military. When the Tsarist Russian government collapsed, he was also the commander of the group army. , But it’s more about the improvement of the line of fire. The foundation is not solid. The only political advantage is that he is the military commander appointed by the bourgeois interim government. But now, the interim government is gone, even if he is now the nominal leader~ www.wuxiaspot.com~On some key issues, Denikin’s support must be obtained before execution. After all, in troubled times, whoever holds the gun is the master!
Korninov is ready to consider surrendering to the Austro-Hungarian Empire, but it is clear that Denikin is still very resistant to this. This is the third time he has discussed this matter with Denikin, but there is still no result!
"Then what do you say? You can die for your ideals, but you can never take everyone to die with you! If we don't act anymore, maybe what is waiting for you and me is a bullet. This bullet is not From our enemies, but our own people! Now the hearts of the people are scattered and on the verge of an explosion! If it were not suppressed by the enemy from the west, we are now in chaos, and if the Austro-Hungarian Empire showed With a little bit of kindness, then I can tell you very clearly that our army will fall apart in an instant, and then scramble to throw into the arms of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, even if we were enemies before!" Korninov could not help but improve. Voice, speak loudly!
