Since Derrensky had made a choice and insisted on knowing that there was a tiger in the mountain, Li Xiaofeng and Sverdlov had no choice. With the temper of an iron-faced man, the persuasion would be of no effect at all, and even if he was forced to do so, he would even be disgusted.

After thinking about it, the only thing Sverdlov and Li Xiaofeng could do was to pick themselves out first. If Derrensky was really tragic, he would say good things to him so that the Iron-faced man would not be covered in dust.

In fact, this small storm passed quickly, and for most of the bigwigs in the central government, this is not a problem. The only thing they can pay attention to now is three issues: food issues, the establishment and training issues of the Red Army, and the final bandit suppression issue.

Especially the last bandit suppression issue, the big eyes of the entire central government are now staring at the larger place in southern Ukraine, and nervously paying attention to the movements of the White Bandit Army. It has to be said that the movements of the White Bandit Army are very strange, which makes these big men feel a little confused.

What did the White Army do that made the Bolshevik bosses feel inexplicable? It’s very simple, the White Army did nothing!

I was surprised if the White Army, which captured Luhansk and Rostov and had a good start, suddenly stopped and stayed in the southern part of Ukraine to do nothing and waste time.

I have to say that this is a very surprising choice. Rebellion is generally about small things to fight against big things. From the beginning of the campaign, we must make a concerted effort to make the most of the momentum and strive to spread the prairie with sparks.

The most correct choice is no matter what. The White Army must take action, whether it is moving north, east or south. It must move. Only when it moves can the situation be revitalized. Then why doesn’t the White Army move?

The reason is very simple. Two, first, there are many internal contradictions and cannot form a unified opinion; second, objective reality makes them temporarily unable to act.

Let’s start with the first point, I mentioned it several times before. The composition of the White Army is quite complex. To be honest, it is a complex of conflicts and complex groups. In order to protect their own interests, various factions are unwilling to make concessions, and often argue over trivial matters.

As a member of the Czech Legion participating in the rebellion, Svoboda had a personal experience. In 1915, at the most intense time of World War I, Svoboda was forced to join the army by the Austro-Hungarian Empire. A so-called man with a strong sense of national pride, he hated the Habsburg family who enslaved Czechoslovakia from the bottom of his heart.

Svoboda did not want to join the army at all, did not want to fight, especially did not want to work hard for the Austro-Hungarian Empire. However, as the humblest member of the vulnerable nation, he could not resist his fate. Like other cannon fodder, he was forced to go to the battlefield.

But unlike other cannon fodders, Svoboda did not lose his life on the battlefield. He was lucky to be captured by the Russians. Although being captured is better than being killed, then he also got the points to be captured by whom. There is no preferential treatment for prisoners in the glorious tradition of the Russian army. In short, Russian prisoner-of-war camps are definitely not a paradise, at best they are just next to hell.

But one thing that is lucky than other Austro-Hungarian prisoners of war was that Svoboda's national component allowed him to escape from the terrible prisoner war camps earlier. In 1916, an institution called the Czechoslovak National Committee found him and told him that if he was willing to fight for the national independence of Czechoslovakia, they could get him out of the hell-like Russian prisoner war camp.

After some thought, Svoboda chose to agree. Although it was very dangerous to go to the battlefield, it seemed to be safer than staying in the Russian prisoner-of-war camp? Moreover, Svoboda felt that since he was serving the Czechoslovak National Committee, he was surrounded by compatriots and fellow villagers, and this was a battle for national liberation, which was of great significance.

Soon, Svoboda left the hellish Russian prisoner-of-war camp, and after tidying up his whole body, he received a set of Russian uniforms and Russian military standard weapons. To be honest, he felt that this was really a bit of a black humor. A few months ago, he was still shooting at people wearing Russian uniforms, and in the blink of an eye it was his turn to change into this uniform.

Swoboda couldn't help but wonder whether those compatriots who still serve in the Austro-Hungarian army would know that among the people wearing this uniform, there were their fellow villagers?

This idea was quickly left behind by Svoboda. There were not so many things to imagine in the fierce battle, it was nothing more than killing people as much as possible and then trying to save his life. Anyway, Svoboda didn't think he could survive this difficult battle at that time.

But what he unexpectedly expected was that after serving in the Russian army for several months, the situation changed again. With the sound of a cannon in the February Revolution, Russia underwent earth-shaking changes. Overall, the situation on the battlefield on the Eastern Front was relatively eased, and it seemed that the dawn of arbitrage and ending the war was seen.

At that time, various rumors were widely spread, some said that Russia was preparing to surrender, and some said that the Russians withdrew from the war. Of course, no matter what the rumors were, the situation seemed to be bad for the Czech Legion.

As a "traitor" of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, the status of the Czech Legion is quite embarrassing. If Russia and Austro-Hungarian Empire reach an armistice agreement, then it is obvious that their former Austro-Hungarian people will definitely be liquidated and may not be shot to death by treason. For the Czech Legion, this is definitely something they are unwilling to face.

At least Swoboda was worried about his fate, especially after the October Revolution broke out in Russia and the situation became increasingly unfavorable to the Czech Legion. Almost every day, Swoboda was worried about being disarmed by the Russian army, and then tied up and put it in a car and sent back to the Austro-Hungarian Empire for trial.

There is not only Svoboda who has this kind of worry, it should be said that it is extremely common, especially the officers who led their battles, who are constantly exaggerating the Russians to betray them and are ready to betray them.

Time finally ended the difficult 1917 year. Svoboda's New Year wish was that the Bolsheviks could continue to stand on the side of the Allies and continue the war. But the cruel reality gave him a blow. Before March was even entered, the Brest contract was suddenly reached. For a moment, the status of the Czech Legion was in jeopardy!

At that time, they had already made the worst plan. They were really loading guns and bullets, and were always on guard against the Russian attack. However, the situation was very confused. The Russians or the Bolsheviks did not launch an attack, nor did they even agree to the request of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. They handed over them, but instead planned to let them leave Russia and go to France.

This result is simply a natural sound for the worried Svoboda. In his opinion, he is probably the best solution. If this solution can be achieved, it would be not so hateful for the Russians to withdraw from the war. Because as a normal person, Svoboda also hates war.

During that time, Svoboda had already started packing his luggage and was ready to go to the beautiful France at any time. He was very stupid and naive, and even wondered whether to get a few French girls.

However, this beautiful wish was soon broken, just as Svoboda was looking forward to the beautiful French scenery. Chief of Staff Jidrihes brought bad news - the Russians had to confiscate our weapons and disarm us... Only after we hand over our weapons can we go to Siberia and leave Russia.

At that time, Svoboda was frightened and he knew very well what it meant to hand over the weapon. He was even more incomprehensible when leaving Russia through Siberia. In his opinion, walking Siberia was undoubtedly a long way to go. Isn’t it much closer to leave Russia directly from Murmansk? Moreover, Siberia left him a good impression, and the Russian prisoner-of-war camp was set up there!

Anyway, after hearing this news, the first thing Svoboda thought of was that the Bolsheviks were playing tricks, which was an attempt to trick them into handing over their weapons and then throwing them into the prisoner-of-war camp!

In response to this, the Czech Legion naturally could not accept it and firmly rejected the plan. Then the negotiations began to tug-of-war. For a whole month, telegrams continued to communicate, and Masarik kept warning them that the Bolsheviks were not trustworthy, and the Bolsheviks were always conspiring.

All the Czech Legion soldiers always had a blind trust for this elder who had fought for the independence and freedom of the Czechoslovaks for the rest of their lives. The same was true for Svoboda at that time. He naturally believed Masa's words immediately and hated the Bolsheviks to the core. He believed that the Bolsheviks were all devils. Only by destroying the devils can they survive and win freedom!

Finally, in March, led by Chief of Staff Jitellihes, tens of thousands of Czech soldiers as naive as Svoboda rose up and fired the first shot to resist the Bolsheviks. Their actions went very smoothly and they easily captured Donetsk, followed by the battle between Lugansk and Rostov.

At that time, Svoboda was optimistic that at this speed, they might have fought Petrograd in a month, hanged all the evil Bolsheviks, and then they could re-start war with the Austro-Hungarian Empire and Germany, and start the cause of national independence again.

However, the next thing was not as beautiful as Svoboda thought. Fierce debates and conflicts broke out within the so-called "coalition": some Russians wanted to advance eastward, and they wanted to go to Ufa and prepare to meet with the newly established new provisional government;

Another group of Russians insisted that they had to go south and march towards the Caucasus because the British army was operating at the junction of Iran and Russia, where they could get support from the Allies;

The last part of the Russians and their Czech Legion were more willing to go north and felt that they could attack Huanglong directly. Because judging from the battle in Luhansk, the Bolshevik Red Army was almost vulnerable. And they also heard that Lenin and the Bolshevik senior officials were in chaos because of Luhansk's defeat and actually canceled the plan to move the capital, which shows how empty they were inside.

However, none of these three opinions could prevail, and no one could convince anyone. Moreover, after the initial battle consumption, the coalition forces also faced serious logistical supply problems. Without the arms sent from Moscow and Petrograd, the coalition forces almost lost one bullet for every shot. What's worse, the Bolsheviks also organized guerrillas to continuously attack their traffic routes, which made it very difficult to replenish. In such a state, it would be unoptimistic to fight the Bolsheviks.

At least Svoboda felt very unhappy. After fighting with the Germans in February and the consumption of the uprising, the Czech Legion's ammunition storage had already turned on red lights, and the legions were trying to get ammunition. What was more annoying was that their friendly forces, that is, the Russian White Army, refused to support weapons and ammunition.

Svoboda was particularly puzzled about this and had no idea whether the Russians had any brains. The Czechs helped the White Army to conquer the world and overthrow the Bolsheviks, but these guys were not even willing to give them bullets. What is this?

Anyway, the leaders of the coalition forces were having a very unpleasant relationship. Tiddierihs even slapped the table with Krasnov and Dutov, and strongly asked them to supplement the consumption of the Czech Legion.

However, this is useless. According to Krasnov and Dutov, their army's ammunition supply is also very tight, and even the weapons and equipment are not as complete as the Czech Legion. Not only is it unable to support the Czech Legion, but it even makes a comeback and asks the Czech Legion to support some of their heavy firepower, especially to support more machine guns.

Is the result? Of course there is no result. Svoboda only knew that after Jijielihes came back, he complained to Masarik, who was far away in the United States, and asked his father to find a way to solve the problem immediately, otherwise, the battle would be impossible.

Svoboda remembers very clearly that Dad Masarik's reply to this was: Be calm and do not be impatient, the Allies are coordinating. There must be support. As long as you attack bravely and advance boldly, victory will definitely belong to the great Czechoslovak people!

Svoboda was quite disappointed with this kind of white bar. Everyone knew that forward and offense could win, but the problem was that there was no way to advance now, let alone attack. If the support was not fulfilled, the coalition would be divided.

Not only were the coalition forces going to split, but there were even signs of split within the legion. Some officers and soldiers who participated in negotiations with the Bolsheviks privately conveyed a statement that the Bolsheviks basically agreed to their conditions, allowing them to leave Russia with weapons. The prerequisite was that they had to promise not to engage in anti-Soviet activities, and they had to leave in batches.

If such conditions were the case, Svoboda felt it was acceptable and he could understand the worries of the Russians. If he had not been willing to see tens of thousands of foreigners carrying weapons crossing their territory.

What made Svoboda curious was why these conditions were not conveyed to them? Why did no one tell them that they might have reached an agreement with the Bolsheviks? Why did Svoboda have been unilaterally demonstrating the Bolsheviks' betrayal and demonstrating that the Bolsheviks would sell them to the Austro-Hungarian Empire?

At that time, Jijielihes denounced these statements as shameless rumors. It was a conspiracy that the Bolsheviks shook their military morale and morale. He severely punished some soldiers who spread the "rumor" before the situation was stabilized.

Many years later, Svoboda fundamentally understood the authenticity of these "rumors", which was the end of World War II. After he searched the archives of former President Masarik's private letters, he discovered what kind of disgraceful role this founder played in the issue of the rebellion of the Czech Legion.

Of course, all this is a story later. At least Svoboda is just a little bit of doubt, and is upset and strange about the occasional gossip. Now, like most other soldiers of the Czech Legion, he believes that Jitierihes is leading them to fight for freedom.

"Platform leader, platoon leader!"

Svoboda, who was sleeping in the barracks, was awakened. The messenger Thomas shook him and said, "Commander Jijielihus asked you to go to the headquarters to report immediately, hurry up!"

Svoboda was very strange. The legion had been in a state of continuation for a while. According to his understanding, they would probably stay in Lugansk for the sun before the meaningless quarrel was achieved. And now, what could it be that suddenly asked him to go to the headquarters?

When Svoboda arrived at the headquarters, Jijielihus was already a little impatient, and seemed to be dissatisfied with his slowness.

"Ludwick, you're moving too slowly!" he complained.

Svoboda can only say sorry for this.

"Forget it, I won't say so much!" Jijielihes quickly skipped the topic and introduced it to him seriously: "I will introduce you to these two gentlemen, this one is Mr. Constantine, and this one is Mr. Nicholas!"

Swoboda shook hands with the two people very numb. To be honest, he was confused and didn't understand why Jijielihes introduced these two people to him. And to be honest, his first impression of these two people was not very good, especially Constantine, who seemed extremely bored when shook hands with him, as if he was not shaking hands, but was pinching a ball of feces. Swoboda had seen too many such expressions, and the nobles in his hometown were this ghost virtue!

Jijielihus didn't care about Svoboda's expression at all and said to himself: "Ludwick, I want to give you a special mission to protect these two gentlemen to arrive in Sevastopol safely!"

Svoboda was stunned. He didn't understand why he had to protect these two people to Sevastopol, and he didn't understand why their Czech army had to undertake this task. To be honest, he was not familiar with Russia at all, and had never been to Sevastopol at all, and he didn't even know the way.

"It doesn't matter," said Jijielihes very "gentle", "these two gentlemen will be responsible for leading the way. You just need to follow them and protect their safety. As for why you chose your company," Jijielihes smiled and said, "Your boys speak well in Russian. Go south, but you have to pretend to be the Red Army in the territory of the Bolshevik rebels!"

Svoboda nodded. Most of his young men were Czechs born in Russia, including himself, who could speak Russian fluently. There was no problem with pretending to be Russians. But he was still confused, because pretending to be Russians and pretending to be Red Army were two different concepts. He asked: "Why don't the Russians go by themselves? And why did these two gentlemen go to Sevastopol, which was controlled by the Bolsheviks?"

Jijielihes interrupted him without saying a word and said decisively: "Ludwick, don't ask so much, just obey the orders! You just need to know that your task is to protect these two gentlemen at all costs, and you just need to firmly implement their instructions!"
