Kovola is about 27 degrees east longitude, very close to the red line drawn by a certain immortal. Moreover, this small city is located on the middle line between Helsinki and Vyborg, and there is a railway line connecting Vyborg and Helsinki. To be honest, this is the gateway to Vyborg. If Kovola is lost, Vyborg will be in danger!

When Kuxining retreated to Kovola, his remaining soldiers and defeated generals were less than 10,000, and the morale of the troops plummeted. To put it bluntly, it was almost impossible for this group of Red Guards to turn defeat into victory.

In fact, Kuxining had almost wiped out the "almost" in his heart, and the troops he knew could not turn defeat into victory. So after retreating to Kovora, he sent telegrams to the Central Committee of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union repeatedly, writing and sending messages, crying and waiting for the mentor to send troops to rescue him.

Kusining felt that the tutor and the Bolsheviks would not be saved. If he was finished, the northern gates of Russia would be completely open. How much risk was there could be imagined with his butt.

Kuxin was very confident in this. Of course, what he was concerned about was how many troops the tutor would send to save him and who would send to command the rescue force.

Of course, Kusining hopes that the more people the mentor sends, the better. It is best to send more than 100,000 people in one go and directly help him push the White Army and the German devils into the sea. Of course, he also knew that this idea was more about fantasy. He knew how afraid of Germany was that under the enemy's side, the mentor could not risk the risk of re-engagement with Germany to support him with all his strength.

Kusining knew that the size of the support force might not be very large. At most, it would be to help him stabilize the battle situation. However, being able to stabilize the battle situation would be very ideal for him. As long as the Russians could block the White Army and the German devils' troops, he would have time to regroup and make a comeback.

Therefore, Kusining was extremely concerned about who the mentor would send to command the reinforcements. Of course, he hoped that there would be a few people with good relationships with him to work together. That would greatly reduce his troubles. He hoped that Stalin would come in person, and he was really too much to talk to this person.

In the telegrams between Kusining and Stalin before, Steel also revealed a similar meaning to him. Comrade Steel seemed to have plans to come to Finland to kill monsters, and it would be better to achieve military achievements that could turn the tide. Recently, Stalin was very irrelevant because of the passiveness in the lower reaches of the Don River.

Of course, Kuxining welcomed Stalin, and even felt that if Stalin volunteered, with his prestige and power, it would be a piece of cake. Kuxining had even begun to welcome Stalin.

"Find a quieter place. Comrade Joseph is the most impatient and noisy... Well, this manor is good... Also, you must prepare the best tobacco. Is there the kind imported from Cuba?"

Kusining devoted all his energy to the work of welcoming Stalin. He was really meticulous and meticulous. He even had to ask how thick the mattress was.

And in this nervous and busy life, there were people who were "eye-opening" to disturb his work: "Comrade Alto Viligrimovic, according to your order, I issued an ultimatum to the Northern Industrial Company, ordering them to deliver enough weapons within a time limit, but they ruthlessly refused!"

Kusining looked at the secretary in annoyance. It was really not annoying enough, and he couldn't do any small things well. He snorted and asked, "Didn't you tell the bourgeois aristocratic lady? Am I giving her an order on behalf of the Finnish people and the Finnish Social Democratic Party?"

The secretary said honestly: "I said it, but she ignored us at all."

Kusining was very annoyed. This was not the first time he had hit a nail in the Northern Industrial Company. A few months ago, when the revolution broke out, he tried to take over the capitalist company, but he was hit hard. The other party refused to miss him, so he almost told him to get out.

At that time, in order to give this ignorant enterprise a little color, he launched the guild and the Soviets, preparing to take a two-pronged approach to seize the enterprise. Who knew that as soon as it started, he was hit by the head. The Bolsheviks sent him a message through the communist liaison office, asking him to stop all actions immediately.

Although the Bolshevik Central Committee did not say what would happen if the action did not stop, Kuxining was still shocked at that time, especially when thousands of well-equipped mercenaries arrived in Viborg and began to take over the defense work of the Northern Industrial Company and several other enterprises. Kuxining knew that he had made a big mistake and did not even understand the other party's backstage and took action blindly, which was really unforgivable.

Soon, through Stalin's relationship, he learned about the backstage boss of Northern Industry, a furry child who was so young that he was not serious about such a furry child before. He had been in the party for less than a year, so he was considered a furry!

However, if Sverdlov and Lenin were standing behind this hairy child, the situation would be completely different. After figuring out how awesome someone was, Kusining was scared and sweated. Fortunately, he had not taken extreme actions, otherwise this would have stabbed a hornet's nest!

Anyway, since that time, Kusining has taken a detour to Northern Industry and Victoria. He can't afford to mess with him or her? He has been in peace for several months. But with his crushing defeat, he lost even his shorts. Kusining, who was so angry that he began to prepare for a comeback at all costs.

To turn the tables, we must first have an army and weapons. Naturally, Kusining once again set his mind on the Northern Industrial Company. He felt that it was already a critical Autumn, and in order to save the Finnish revolution, we must do whatever it takes. In this case, what is the point of getting some weapons from the capitalist factory? Why can't we recruit in the name of revolution?

Moreover, Kuxining felt that there was no better time than now. For the sake of the overall situation, even the tutor could only acquiesce to his approach. As for that little brat, the tutor didn't say anything, who was the old man?

With this idea, Kuxin reached out to the northern industry. Of course, he was very smart and did not rob the people under the banner of nationalization like the last time. Instead, he gave the northern industry a support weapon for the sake of revolution.

Of course, he would definitely speak loudly, and the amount he wanted was definitely something that northern industries could not accept or satisfy. Then, he became famous. If you don’t support the revolution, shouldn’t you be dealt with?

I have to say that Kuxining has a good idea and a big abacus is also very good. But he did not consider one thing, that is, the Northern Industrial Company is not a fish on the chopping board, it is protected by armed forces!

It was not that Kuxining did not expect this, but that he believed that the Red Eagle Regiment was a Bolshevik army and obeyed the leadership of the party. He should not go to outsiders and did not have the orders of the mentor. The Red Eagle Regiment did not dare to use force lightly.

But the fact slapped him heavily, and his secretary said with a sad face: "According to your instructions, the Red Guards are preparing to take over the factory, but they were intercepted by the Red Eagle Corps. What they did not expect was that they actually dared to shoot... Comrade Alto Verigrimovic. The comrades who went to take over the factory suffered heavy casualties!"

"Tsk!" Kuxining took a breath of cold air first. The Red Eagle Group's reaction was too unexpected, but he immediately became furious and slapped the table: "Send a telegram to Comrade Lenin and strongly accused the Red Eagle Group of atrocities. We must severely punish the murderer!"

Kusining once again took it for granted that Lenin would take care of his emotions in order to take care of the overall situation, but he never thought that things were not like that.

"The central government's requirement is to ensure the safety of Vyborg and along Lake Ladoga, and to ensure the safety of food import channels. You are fully authorized to take all necessary actions to maintain stability in Finland!"

When Sverdlov read this order to Li Xiaofeng on behalf of the Politburo, a certain immortal felt uncomfortable. A few days ago, he had broken his mouth, but everyone was indifferent to his warnings. Now, Finland has become a mess, but he wants him to turn the tide.

Damn, it takes time to turn the tide. In such a hurry, he led the border police force that had not received all the training and had not even had enough arms to go to Finland. What's the point? What's the use?

Sverdlov did not care about the face of a certain immortal, and continued to read the order on his own: "The Central Committee appointed Comrade Yegorov as the commander-in-chief of the Russian People's Volunteer Army, Comrade Tukhachevsky as the deputy commander-in-chief, and appoint you as the general political commissar and the commander of the logistics headquarters... The Central Committee requires that the Volunteer Army must arrive in Viborg before May 15 to assist Comrade Kusining and the Finnish Red Guard to restore peace and freedom in Finland..."

This appointment is actually a big compromise and a big compromise, and is a product of compromise between the Lenin faction and the Trotskyists. It should be said that everyone can still accept it. Stalin, the only one who may express his dissatisfaction, has also appointed another appointment. The guy was appointed as the newly formed Political Commissar of the Southwest Front Army to assist Fu Longzhi, the commander-in-chief of the Southwest Front Army, to carry out bandit suppression work.

Li Xiaofeng was not satisfied with this seemingly happy arrangement, but he knew that there was no way to refuse, and Xiao Si didn't want him to refuse.

"Relying on the border police force and the Red Eagle Regiment alone is not enough to stabilize the situation in Finland." Li Xiaofeng decided to talk about the difficulties first.

Sverdlov nodded and said, "The central government knows this too, so he decided to draw a division from the Red Eighth Army to enhance the combat effectiveness of the Volunteer Army. In addition, this division will be commanded by Tukhachevsky!"

Li Xiaofeng naturally knew what Sverdlov wanted to emphasize in the last sentence, but he was just to be polite to Tukhachevsky. This guy was Trotsky's man. Li Xiaofeng never thought of being rude to Tukhachevsky. Although this year he was the Minister of Defense, he had done a lot of brainless things in the military construction plan. But overall, in terms of military capabilities, he could be far behind him.

Li Xiaofeng still admires the capable professionals, at least he will not persecute them like steel. With a master like Tukhachevsky, he can be much easier.

Just as Li Xiaofeng was discussing the final details with Xiaosi "reluctantly", the instructor suddenly called him over and threw Kuxining's protest electricity directly to him.

Li Xiaofeng was really inexplicable. The central government had already made arrangements for the Northern Industrial Company, but Kuxining had been reluctant to make bad ideas, and the villain complained and reported it first. His grandmother couldn't bear it anymore.

He said angrily: "Kuxining is making trouble. Who gives him the power to give indicators to the Northern Industrial Company? And it's a lion's mouth, which is clearly a bad intention!"

He looked at the tutor. Seeing that the old man had no reaction, he became even more annoyed: "I strongly demanded to refute his nonsense and warned him sternly, so that he would not interfere any more!"

The expression on Lenin's face became more and more entangled. After looking at a certain immortal for a long time, he sighed and said, "Before, Comrade Yakov recommended you to take charge of military work in Finland, saying that you are most familiar with the situation there. Moreover, you are the Red Eagle Regiment or the border police force, and it is most appropriate for you to command it. At that time, many comrades also supported his opinions, but in the end I thought you were not suitable. Do you know why this is?"

Li Xiaofeng curled his lips and said, "I am not familiar with military command work, have no experience in commanding large troops in combat, and I have a bad temper."

Lenin nodded and said, "What you said is correct. But it is not accurate. Who will fight after birth? Comrade Mikhail is not as educated as you and does not understand military affairs yet, but I am relieved that he is the only one. Because being the commander-in-chief is far more than fighting. If you don't understand military affairs, you can have staff to help you, but you don't understand politics. If you don't take care of the overall situation, it's very fatal."

As he said that, Lenin sighed and said, "Your temper is too bad and you like to cause trouble. This time you are going abroad to fight. Although many of our comrades think that Finland still belongs to Russia, they are only temporarily independent. But I want to say that since we have recognized Finland's independence and independence, we must respect the authority of Finnish brotherly parties and cannot deal with them in the way of treating comrades in China!"

"Diplomatic affairs are nothing," Lenin said heavily, "especially now, our regime is still very unstable, and it can even be said to be in danger. In this case, one more friend is better than one more enemy!"

Seeing that Li Xiaofeng was not convinced, Lenin said earnestly: "I know Kusining is a bit unreasonable, and he also knows what little abacus he is making. However, after all, he represents Finland, and sometimes he must give in to him a little."

Li Xiaofeng was really unhappy, but he had to understand the painstaking efforts of his mentor. After a moment of silence, he said depressedly: "Okay, I try my best to restrain myself. But for northern industries and several other companies, I cannot let Kuxining do whatever it takes. This involves the issue of grain import channels. I cannot joke about the grain issue!"

Lenin smiled: "The central government also understands this point that the smooth and security of food import channels are always at the most important position. In a sense, ensuring the victory of the Finnish revolution is also to protect food security. The central government will not make fun of this. As long as you give in to Comrade Kuxining in other aspects and accommodate him a little, the central government will unswervingly support you on this issue!"

Li Xiaofeng sighed leisurely and said, "If this is the case, then I will be fine."

Lenin nodded with satisfaction, patted Li Xiaofeng on the shoulder, and encouraged him: "It's good to go to Finland to carry out work as soon as possible. We must ensure the safety of our North Gate and grain import channels. I won't say much more about the importance. I wish you a successful return!"

When Li Xiaofeng was about to set off for Finland, the fierce battle in the lower reaches of the Don River came to an end. In the direction of Baikalitwa, the Red Navy and Peter Bapurov regiment were still holding on with great perseverance. Tens of thousands of Red Army soldiers were galloping in the rear of the White Army.

The battle completely turned into a race against time. Baikalitva defended it, the White Army was finished, and on the contrary, the Red Army's campaign attempt would be completely lost.

"The enemy has changed the focus of the attack!"

Buluheer, who had a dish-like face, was covered in blood. He was already a little thin and now he was only skinny. As the one who fought the longest among the commanders present, he was gritting his teeth and holding on.

"Since last night, the enemy has increased its harassment of our southern city and established a defensive support point on the shore... My troops have no reserves anymore. If the enemy continues to strengthen their attacks on me, it is very likely that the defense line will collapse! Can you consider that this is the enemy's breakthrough for the east escape from the southern city?"

Fu Longzhi's face was not much better than Buluheer. He suffered from stomach problems and had not had a good rest these days, nor had he eaten on time. The harsh combat environment squeezed his originally small appetite cleanly.

Now his voice seemed a little indifferent: "There is no evidence to support your guess at the moment. Without the support of the railway line, it is difficult to escape east quickly and calmly with the enemy's scale. Even if the enemy captures the southern city, would they dare to throw their arms and escape directly?"

Eberhardt no longer had the appearance of the nobles before. His military uniform was wrinkled like pickles, and his beard was covered with dust and oil stains. His old eyes were covered with eye poop. He said tiredly: "It is very likely that the enemy is attacking the east and the west, deliberately attacking the southern city to attract our attention. Once we divert the focus of our defense, they will attack the western city again. This trick is more likely!"

Buluheer thought about it and felt that this possibility was greater, but he was still worried: "If the defense of the southern city is not strengthened, once it is lost, there will be cracks in our defense line. If the enemy attacks north from the southern city, that tributary will not be able to stop their pace. At that time, the northern city will be in danger!"

In fact, Eberhardt and Fu Longzhi knew that this was dangerous, but they had no choice. To this end, even the kitchen squad and guards of the headquarters were brought to the front line. Where could they have troops to strengthen the defense of the southern city?

It’s hard for a good cook to cook without rice. The only thing they can do now is to grit their teeth and hold on. As long as they can last…
