Respectfully

The civil war in Russia continued until late July.

Moscow was surrounded by the White Army on three sides. The Soviet Army launched several counter-offensives and suffered huge losses, but they still could not relieve the threat of the White Army.Kolchak and the officers raised their glasses at the front headquarters.

However, they were too happy too soon.

The Soviet army fighting with the Polish-Ukrainian coalition forces won a decisive victory. After occupying Ukraine, they marched into Poland.As the vanguard, a division led by Kazan approached Warsaw, which aroused the vigilance of Germany.

Even with the suppression of the "Versailles Peace Treaty", Germany still maintains considerable military strength, and there are still a large number of retired soldiers who participated in the European War. If the Soviet and Russian troops threaten the security of Germany's borders, the Germans will not sit idly by.

The upper echelons of the Soviet Union were caught in a dilemma. Should they continue marching, or should they give up halfway?

The problem was finally solved by the Poles. On July 22, Moscow repelled another attack by the White Army, and Poland took the initiative to seek peace with Soviet Russia.

The upper echelons of the Soviets breathed a sigh of relief for the time being. The problem in the west has been resolved. They can safely send troops to reinforce Moscow. It is still hard to say which side the balance of victory will lean towards.

However, in order to remove the threat of the Polish-Ukrainian coalition forces and gain more support, Soviet Russia recognized the independence of Lithuania.This move helped Soviet Russia win the war on the Western Front, but it also revealed its own weakness, causing Estonia and Latvia to declare independence successively.

Forced by the situation, no matter how reluctant Soviet Russia was, they could only nod in agreement.

At the end of July, the situation on the battlefield changed. The supported Soviet army finally lifted the threat of Moscow, and the White Army was driven to Nizhny Novgorod.Once again Kirov was at the front, pumping his fists and delivering a rousing speech.Then jump out of the armored vehicle, pick up the rifle, and charge the enemy like an ordinary soldier.

The fighting life in Siberia gave Kirov advantages that Trotsky and Stalin did not have. He dared to fight the enemy face to face and was able to show contempt for danger. This made Trotsky's previous efforts Much of it was wiped out.

The sound of Ula sounded on the battlefield, and Kazan was fighting, just like all Soviet officers, with empty magazines, bayonets, butts, and fists were all his weapons.

He is fighting, in order to stay here, in order to survive, he must fight!

Not for Russia, but for my own country!

He must live!

Entering August, the White Army was forced to withdraw to Omsk.

The Soviet army won the battle on land, but it was completely defeated in the naval battle.

Kolchak was once the commander of the Black Sea Fleet, and he had a high prestige among the sailors. As soon as the battle started, some warships surrendered to the White Army.

Under the joint attack of the Intervention Army and the White Army Fleet, a large number of Soviet warships were sunk and captured, and a small number of those who escaped by chance could not continue to confront the enemy head-on.If you can't rush out and escape, you can only choose to surrender or sink yourself.

Now that the war has progressed, both the Soviet Army and the White Army have understood one thing. They cannot completely defeat each other in a short period of time.

Compromise to preserve strength, or fight until the day of victory?

The upper echelons of Soviet Russia began to quarrel fiercely, and divisions also emerged within the Siberian government.

On the side of the White Army, Takyana stood up. In the name of the Tsar, she agreed to hold peace talks with Soviet Russia.

"I have a hatred for these rebels, but, my generals, let's face it."

From the domestic revolution, the family was exiled, to that horrible night, the death of parents and sisters changed Takyana a lot.No longer a princess raised under the wing of her parents, she is the heir to the Romanov royal family, vowing to restore the glory of her ancestors.

There are few people she can trust, except her brother and the faithful Elena, so she must learn to be patient, she must learn to compromise.In addition to domestic supporters, she must find another reliable force. Britain and France support Kolchak, who holds military power, and there are not many choices left for her.

Takyana expressed her attitude, and the upper echelons of the White Army quickly reached an agreement.

"Peace talks."

Britain and France regretted this, but did not object.In fact, the commander of the Intervention Army is somewhat inconceivable that the White Army has been able to fight the Soviet Army until now.If it were not for military orders, the British would immediately lead the soldiers to leave here.

"Mediocre officers, a disorganized army, a complete mob."

Rely on such an army for ultimate victory, barring a miracle.

The Soviet leadership was divided into three factions. The faction headed by Trotsky and Stalin firmly disagreed with the peace talks. The faction headed by Kirov and Bukharin held the opposite opinion. The rest only agreed to contact the White Army. It should be discussed after the two parties have met.

On the surface, the three factions hold their own opinions, but in fact, the so-called centrists are more inclined to Kirov.

During the four years of the European War, the domestic revolution, and the current civil war, the gunfire in Russia has never stopped.All the men went to war, there was a massive shortage of labor, and the surplus grain collection system aroused the resentment of many farmers. If this continued, they might not wait until they defeated the enemy, and there would be big problems within themselves.

A fierce quarrel broke out between Stalin and Kirov, and the table was clattered, but no result was reached.

On August [-], the sick Vladimir suddenly appeared in the Kremlin. His appearance put an end to the dispute.

"For the sake of the people, for the Soviets, we are willing to negotiate peace."

Just like when the Brest Peace Treaty was signed with Germany, Vladimir once again persuaded Trotsky, and Stalin was alone.

The two sides sent representatives respectively and conducted tentative contacts.The flames of war that had been burning for nearly three months were finally extinguished.

Li Jinyan has been paying attention to the news from Russia. The decision of the two warring parties to negotiate peace will inevitably have a certain impact on his arms business.But after opening up the "US market", these losses are negligible.

What surprised him was that China would be invited to "observe" the peace talks between Soviet Russia and the White Army.

Thinking about it carefully, it seems that it is not difficult to understand.

The Soviet Union was rejected by the entire Western society, and with Britain and France staring at it, it would be at a disadvantage in the peace talks.

Germany was suffering from high inflation, the economy was depressed, the United States was running for a presidential election, and had little interest in a civil war in Russia.Inviting Huaxia to participate in the negotiations is the only and best way.Huaxia gave the envoy-level treatment to the representatives of Soviet Russia in China, and declared neutrality several times. Even if they did not help themselves, at least they would not help Kolchak.

The Siberian government did not object to Soviet Russia's proposal.Perhaps Kolchak also had little faith in John Bull and Gallic chickens.

China has a tradition of helping others, and the Russians naturally have no reason to refuse when they come to their door.After discussion, the new foreign minister will attend the peace talks between Soviet Russia and the White Army as a representative.

At the same time, the Huaxia government once again stated its position, maintaining "absolute neutrality."

On August [-], Soviet Russia and representatives of the Siberian government began a week of peace talks in Ufa.

At the negotiating table, the representatives of the two sides were fighting with each other, refusing to give in to each other. Beside the negotiating table, the representatives of Britain and France whispered from time to time, but the representatives of Huaxia always looked like they were sitting firmly on Mount Tai, unmoved by eight winds.

On August 22, Li Jinyan received the second arms order from the Americas.

On the same day, the first part of "Sakhalin Island" filmed by Guanbei Film Company was completed.

On August 25, a cartoon called "Captain Bald" received good reviews after its release, and Boss Wen's entertainment newspaper also made a special report on the film.As one of the creators, Walt Disney's Chinese name also appeared on the newspaper.
