212 Each has a ghost (Part 2)
Denikin was a little surprised. He thought he had already made it clear, and Alexeyev was unlikely to agree to any of his conditions. Maybe this guy would just leave. He never thought that this guy could come up with any solution to the problem. Could this guy be so sincere?
To be honest, if this was the case, Denikin couldn't help but look at Alexeyev and the Social Revolutionary Party with a high glance. If the Social Revolutionary Party had been so reasonable, how could it worsen the situation to this point? If they could have acted so great after the February Revolution, the Bolsheviks would have no chance at all!
That's right, Denikin has always had a resentment. He thinks that it was the social revolutionary party, the fake socialists, who were disturbing the government and shattering the situation, which made the situation so uncontrollable. Now they can "repentance". To be honest, Denikin feels that there is greater hope of saving Russia.
However, soon, Alexeyev told him with practical actions that the Social Revolutionary Party was still the Social Revolutionary Party before, and everything was nonsense. I saw this guy shamelessly said: "I think there is only one way to solve the current dilemma, that is, you should give full play to your subjective initiative, actively find ways to solve these difficulties, develop weapons and ammunition, make food, and organize patriotic people. I believe that only you actively do it, these problems can be solved!"
Not to mention Kornilov and Denikin, even Flanger, who is standing on Alexeyev's side, looks very good after hearing this, because this statement is infinitely close to nonsense. If you can solve the problem by activate subjective initiative, is that still a problem? Look at the nonsense you said, it means that you didn't say anything, just to your attitude, and cooperation will not be possible!
Anyway, even Kornilov, who welcomed Alexeyev at the beginning, seemed extremely frustrated, and his face suddenly turned as dark as the bottom of the pot. If it weren't for the fact that he had to be a little demeanor, Lao Ke would probably let him get out.
This is a good attitude and a bad attitude, such as Denikin, who starts to sarcasticly start: "Hmph, that is to say, Mr. Savengov has no way to help us solve practical problems and lacks sincerity. Since that is the case, I don't think there is any need to waste time anymore!"
When Alexeyev saw that the situation was not good, he quickly raised his face and said, "General Denikin, I must remind you that I came on behalf of the Russian Provisional Government. As a Russian soldier, obeying the government's command is a natural duty!"
Alexeyev is not polite. Denikin is even more polite. From the very beginning, he didn't take the Social Revolutionary Party seriously. As for the provisional government, anyone can claim to be a self-proclaimed person. What's so great about it? Do you think you can be used as a banner by pulling up the tiger skin? What's more, you don't have any tiger skin yet, at most you can be considered a sick cat's skin!
"The so-called Provisional Government was disbanded by the Bolsheviks in October last year. It has no legal effect at all. And our General Kornilov has always been on the front line of the anti-Bolsheviks. When you were still in a turmoil with the Bolsheviks last year, we fired the first anti-Bolshevik shot... It is because of your indulgence that the situation has become so bad... A pseudo-government that is fully responsible for the current failure and chaos is not qualified to issue any orders!"
Alexeyev was so angry that Denikin's words were suspected of being a direct slap in the face, which was equivalent to revealing the scars of the Social Revolutionary Party. He suddenly became angry, and he turned to yelled at Kornilov: "Ravr, this is your attitude. You are so patriotic and defending. I strongly doubt your intentions and purposes. Such words and deeds are simply treason!"
Kornilov was not scared. Although he was depressed, he could still tell the difference. Alexeyev was ready to make a fortune, while Denikin had been planning for his interests. Which side should he go?
He glared at Alexeyev coldly and said coldly: "Treason? You guys who indulge in the Bolsheviks have the face to say that those of us who have been fighting with the Bolsheviks have treason. If it weren't for the juncture of national crisis, I would have ordered the guards to drive you out now! It's a joke. I'll tell you clearly that you have the final say on whether you love or patriotism or not. If you still hold this attitude, we really have nothing to talk about!"
Alexeyev was actually doing the final gambling just now. He was betting on Kornilov and did not dare to turn against him, but the facts proved that he was wrong. Kornilov was much tougher than he thought. If this guy really didn't cooperate with them or even put on an attitude of opposing the Social Revolutionary Party, they would be really scared.
"I don't mean that!" Alexeyev quickly softened and said with a smile: "Don't be excited! If you have any questions, you can discuss it slowly!"
But Denikin sneered: "Discuss slowly? How to discuss? If we don't solve our actual problems, then there is no need to discuss!"
At this time, even if Alexeyev was so angry and unhappy, Denikin could only bear it. He said with a shameless face: "I didn't say I couldn't solve the problem! Why bother to get angry? Am I always trying to find a way for you?"
Denikin immediately made another sarcastic sentence: "I have to say that your attitude towards trying to do is really strange. No matter how you look at it, it seems like you are here to make trouble!"
Alexeyev knew that Denikin was not easy to mess with, so he ignored Denikin's sarcasm. He pretended not to hear those words and said to Kornilov in a controversial tone: "Do you think this is OK? The Provisional Government will appoint you as Commander-in-Chief of the Southwest Front, and you will be responsible for commanding the military operations in the entire East Ukraine and the Krim Peninsula..."
Before he finished speaking, Denikin complained: "It's ridiculous. Ravr has always been the commander-in-chief in the hearts of the Russian military officers. Before being subjected to Bolshevik persecution and illegally detained, he was the legitimate commander-in-chief of the All-Russian armed forces... Are you sure that you are not here to make fun of it?"
Alexeyev was defeated again. As mentioned before, the Social Revolutionary Party wanted to use Kornilov, but was not prepared to give too many benefits. It tried to use only a few melons and two dates to send Kornilov to the position of commander-in-chief of the Southwest Front.
Obviously, Kornilov would definitely not accept such "allowing" as Denikin said, he has always regarded himself as the commander-in-chief of the three armies. Now he is letting him lose his own share, what do you think he is willing to do?
For a moment, his attitude towards Alexeyev became even colder and he did not look at him directly. This made the latter anxious and said quickly: "Ravr, we don't mean that. We fully trust your military capabilities and prestige in the army. But the situation is different now. A considerable number of Congress Dumas have prejudice against the actions you took in September last year. If you are allowed to be the commander-in-chief, they will not accept it at all. It is the position of the commander-in-chief of the Southwest Front, which I have won for you from many parties..."
But Kornilov didn't take this trick at all. He didn't have much close relationship with Alexeyev, what would this guy win for him? It was a joke! So he didn't accept this guy's words at all and sneered: "Well, I have to thank you if I say that?"
Alexeyev wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said dryly: "Everyone is a colleague, why don't you say thank you? Everyone is doing as much as possible for the country, and it is also worthwhile to make a little self-sacrifice..."
Kornilov sneered again: "Is that so? But why didn't I see what sacrifice you made? It was you who ruined the situation. To this day, you have no explanation at all. What kind of sacrifice is this? What kind of effort is it?"
Arikseyev's face changed suddenly. It was obvious that Kornilov did not intend to accept their conditions and would not buy this account. What should I do?
Flanger also saw that the situation was not good, so he quickly stood up again: "Your Excellency, I must say that I admired you very much, but when I saw you recently, it really disappointed me! From the beginning, you have never mentioned anything about the fight against the Bolsheviks. You have been talking about the conditions and requirements all the time. Is this what a real patriot should do? I am simply ashamed of you..."
"You'd better be ashamed of yourself!" Denikin interrupted him without hesitation. He said sarcastically: "Who can't speak vernacularly? If you don't show something practical and give your commander-in-chief a reasonable explanation, there is nothing to talk about between us. If you are so great, you should give Ravl the real power and let him let it go and save Russia! Instead of being as good as you are now, you have nothing to do and be wary of. This is your patriotic attitude? Who can't do it if you cry hypocritically?"
"You..." Flanger was so angry that this was the first time he hated someone so much.
"Don't want you, you, me, mine," Denikin was even more polite than him. "Open the skylight and say something bright. There is not enough weapons, ammunition and food. If you don't give Ravl a place you should have, we will never agree to cooperate with your actions. This is the bottom line, and there is no need to talk about it!"
Although Kornilov was a little unhappy with Denikin's decision to draw the bottom line, he was trying to win benefits for him anyway, so he didn't say anything, but just agreed: "These requirements are very practical. If these problems are not solved, it is not only Wuming, but also impossible to take down Chalizin... I hope Mr. Savenkov can fully consider the actual difficulties here and meet our requirements as soon as possible. Otherwise, if major events are delayed, we will be irresponsible!"
In Alexeyev's view, this is a cruel threat. If these conditions are not agreed, Kornilov would not agree to send troops to cooperate. However, if he agrees, it is not in line with the interests of the Social Revolutionary Party, and it is impossible to fulfill it...
cash?
Alexeyev suddenly had a flash of inspiration, yes, you can agree first, fool Kornilov into sending troops first, and don’t rush to fulfill it! As long as this old boy sends troops and really attacks Chalijin, the goal has been achieved by then, and there is no need to fulfill it.
Suddenly, the guy sneered in his heart, pretended to be very embarrassed, and said hypocritically: "Ravr, I have to say, you made me very embarrassed! It is difficult for us to agree to these conditions! For the sake of Russia, can we reduce the requirements a little?"
Kornilov naturally looked stern and said in a tone that was not allowed to be bargained: "I have said that these are the bottom lines and cannot be negotiated!"
Alexeyev became even more "difficult". After pondering for a long time, he sighed deeply and sighed hypocritically: "Forget it, everyone is for Russia, as long as it is for Russia's good. It's nothing we can sacrifice more... We agreed to your conditions..."
Before he could finish his words, Flanger next to him was anxious: "Your Excellency, we cannot agree to their conditions so easily. This is..."
With his back to Kornilov and Denikin, Alexeyev winked and taught a lesson: "Peter, don't be so petty, as long as it is beneficial to the country. As long as it can save Russia, what is the point of suffering a little loss!"
Flanger immediately understood that this was just a way to fool Kornilov. In fact, he was a little puzzled just now, why did Alexeyev agree to all the conditions without thinking. Before coming, Savengkov didn't give that order! Why did this guy have the courage to agree randomly?
Think about it, now there is only one who fools Kornilov like this. Even if Kornilov pursues it afterwards, Savengkov can still completely defeat it. But what Alexeyev agreed privately, so he can't count it!
As for whether Alexeyev will take the blame, this is unlikely. What can he do if he says verbally, and what he can do, then he pretends to be stupid and insists that this will be done. Anyway, if nothing unexpected happens, Kornilov will definitely suffer a loss.
Thinking of this, Flanger couldn't help but feel happy. Kornilov and Denikin's attitude was very arrogant just now, and they didn't take them seriously at all. They could make them suffer a loss. Flanger felt so comfortable!
He couldn't help but glance at Kornilov and Denikin, wanting to see what these two idiots looked like. They might be very proud! Humph, you can be proud now for a while, and you will cry in the future!
However, Flanger glanced quickly and did not find the expression he wanted to see. Kornilov seemed a little happy, but also a little suspicious. As for Denikin, this guy just sneered, as if he had completely understood Alexeyev's conspiracy.
Sure enough, before Flanger was surprised, Denikin spoke: "Since we can reach an agreement, should we talk about how to implement it in detail?"
This sentence shocked Alexeyev. He had a way to implement the egg. If you really want to talk about this, you would be able to get it right away.
The guy rushed to say, "No, no, the most important thing is to implement the plan to attack Chalijin. This is a major event and the top priority. Let's implement the combat plan first!"
The sneer on Denikin's face became more and more obvious. Even Kornilov couldn't help but frown. Anyway, Alexeyev was half cold at that time, and he began to realize that these two people were not so easy to fool.
Sure enough, Denikin first attacked: "To implement a specific combat plan, we must first implement the issues of weapons, ammunition and food. I have talked about it over and over again before. Without these, it would be unrealistic to attack Lijin. So, do you first talk about how to implement and solve these problems?"
Alexeyev broke out in cold sweat, took out his handkerchief and wiped it tremblingly, and said dryly, "Don't be anxious, don't be anxious..."
"Why don't you hurry!" Denikin suddenly seemed aggressive, as if he was going to swallow Alexeyev with his bones and skin in one mouthful. "Taking down Chalizin is a key part of the entire plan. This is a key issue of the top priority. How can we not hurry! On this issue, we must be decisive, and any attempt to delay should be treated as treason!"
Speaking of this, Denikin suddenly put away the aggressive set again, and asked Alexeyev with a kind smile: "Do you think so?"
Alexeyev dared not speak, and she kept wiping the cold sweat. When Flanger next to him saw that something was wrong, he quickly helped to help solve the situation: "General Denikin, the problem of food, weapons and ammunition is unhurried. Even if you have to allocate these materials to you, it will take a certain amount of time! Now we should discuss the issue of combat plans first. If you put them aside, those problems will definitely be solved!"
"Yeah?"
Denikin suddenly smiled, revealing two rows of white teeth. No matter how you look, she felt creepy, at least Flanger was a little panicked.
It should be said that his premonition was correct. Denikin was not so easy to pass. He stared at Flanger and said gloomyly: "Since the problems of weapons, ammunition and food take time, there is no such obstacle to solving the problem of Ravl's identity? This matter is very simple. Please ask Savenkov and other Duma gentlemen to issue a legally effective commission as soon as possible to clarify the authority of the commander-in-chief of the Ravl's army. There is no difficulty, right?"
Alexeyev and Flanger were simply restless. They already knew that their little abacus had been completely seen through by Denikin, and they were completely bankrupt when they tried to fool Kornilov by making white strips.
Suddenly, Alexeyev stood up angrily and roared: "General Denikin, can you be more promising? What we are discussing now is the most critical combat issue. Can you not always think about those private issues? If you have this attitude, then we will not be able to cooperate!"
PS: Bow and thank you for killing Comrade Tudou in seconds!
