Outside the outskirts of Chalijin.

Denikin stared at the map on the table, and his face was so gloomy that he could squeeze out water. The reason was that he had received too much bad news recently. Kolchak was defeated in Kazan and was chased by Tukhachevsky and chased him to Ufa.

Denikin originally thought that Kolchak could block the attack of the Red Bandits in his hometown and base camp, but who expected that Buluhell suddenly stabbed him from behind. After the battle, almost all of Kolchak's army, which had shocking momentum before, fled in all scattered areas.

If Bulucher had not had too few troops to completely close the encirclement, the Russian Supreme Lord, with his cabinet and ministers, had become a prisoner of the Red Army. However, even if Kolchak escaped, the days ahead would not be easy. The soldiers were extremely disappointed with him. The Social Revolutionary Party and the Menshevik, who had been suppressed by him before, also took the opportunity to fight back. Fortunately, Kolchak also had the support of the Allies, otherwise Denikin would have doubts whether he would be cut into pieces by angry soldiers, nobles, exiled capitalists and clergy.

Of course, Kolchak's life and death are not concerned about Denikin. The more clumsy the pretentious fearless general, the better it is for Denikin. In this way, people can see who is the true destiny of Russia and who can lead Russia out of the dilemma.

However, what Denikin never expected was that the fearless general's defeat had no bottom line. When he dragged his family and hundreds of thousands of people to move to the Far East in a mess, when Ufa and Chelyabinsk fell one after another, Denikin knew something was wrong!

Basically, the Red Army of Kolchak was blocked and soon focused on his side. As Orenburg "falls" again, the connection between him and Kolchak was basically cut off. It is conceivable that the Eastern Front Army of the Red Bandits in the north will soon reorganize his troops to move south, surrounding him from the rear, and soon annihilated him to the east of the Volga River.

The situation that Denikin had to face was quite serious, and Chalijin could not take it down. Moreover, as the Southwest Front began to counterattack, his troops were squeezed out of Chalijin little by little, and now the retreat was cut off. If he didn't find a way to get out of the predicament, he would probably be doomed.

What makes Denikin's headache now is how to get out of the predicament. He took advantage of the Eastern Front's unstable foothold in Orenburg and quickly pulled over from Chalizin, joined Kolchak, and then made a comeback. Or should he just ignore Kolchak and straighten his troops to move south, develop towards the Black Sea and the Caucasus, and wait for the assistance of the Allies?

It should be said that both roads have advantages and disadvantages, and they develop eastward. When they meet Kolchak, their victory lies in safety. The power of the Bolsheviks in the Far East is in a vacuum. It is really a place where birds fly and the sea can be wide and the fish can leaps. Moreover, the expeditionary forces of Japan and the United States are advancing towards the Siberian region, so it seems ideal to meet with them.

However, Denikin thought very far. Although the eastward direction was comfortable, the problem was quite big. Although the Bolsheviks in the Far East were poor, the population was sparse, and the population base and industry and agriculture were quite poor. Without foreign aid, going to the Far East would be a dead end.

Of course, the Allies did agree to aid, but the problem is that they trust and appreciate Kolchak more and more. The prerequisite for accepting their aid is to accept the command of the idiot Kolchak. The ambitious Denikin does not want to continue to accept the mercy of Kolchak as an outsider. That person's political and military capabilities are simply a mess in the eyes of Denikin. Giving power to him is irresponsible for Russia's future.

And to be honest, Denikin was also wary of the Allies. He could guess what the group of people had. He did not intend to be a spokesperson or puppet of foreign forces. As a hardcore nationalist, he attached great importance to Russia's independence and autonomy. Going to the Far East basically means that independence and autonomy have become a bubble. I'm afraid he will have to be a dog in the future.

Denikin naturally did not want to be a dog, so he preferred the latter plan to march along the Black Sea coast and the Caucasus region. If everything went well, he would seize the Caucasus region as a base and would continue to deal with the Red Bandits with Turkey and the Black Sea back.

The advantage of this plan is that it does not require long journeys, nor does it have to continue to look at Kolchak's face. It is closer to Russia's inland core areas, which makes it easier for him to carry out the anti-communist rehabilitation movement. It is also close to the Black Sea coast and Turkey to receive support from the Allies very conveniently. Compared with the distant and desolate Siberia, the Caucasus is undoubtedly a better choice.

However, the danger of this plan is quite high. First of all, the Caucasus region is now the territory of the Bolsheviks. Budonnie and his cavalry went north and basically defeated the larger White Army organization in the local area. If he wanted to gain a foothold in the Caucasus, he had to shoot with one shot. Moreover, there was little room for maneuver in the Caucasus. When the Red Bandits Southwest Front and Eastern Front came over with the pressure of Mount Tai, Denikin was really not sure that he could repel them.

All in all, Denikin was a little hesitant and didn't know what to choose.

"Your Excellency, you can't hesitate anymore. We must make a choice whether we go south or east!"

Looking at Flanger, Denikin was a little unhappy. He was not interested in this cruel baron. If Russia's problems could be solved by just massacre, then he would have solved all the troubles long ago. Why is it so passive?

Indeed, compared with Flanger, Denikin is more "aware" and "ideal", and compared with Flanger, his methods are more cruel and direct. In short, both sides don't like each other's style of dealing with things.

For example, Denikin doesn't appreciate Flanger's actions of instigating soldiers to rob, and forcing the prisoners, and thinking that the guy is a butcher; while Flanger thinks that if he doesn't rob, where does the military capital, morale and military spirit come from? If you don't give the red bandits a little color, and don't use extreme means to shock them, how could they surrender?

For example, regarding the current dilemma, Flanger felt that he didn't need to think about so many twists and turns. Whether it was going east or south, it would be fine. The important thing was to act quickly, otherwise it would be too late.

Denikin was not an indecisive person. On the contrary, he was still very determined. But this time his choice was very unusual. In his opinion, once a decision was made, the fate of Russia was decided. He must be responsible for Russia's fate for the White Army and must not be hasty.

In this way, the conflict between him and Flanger was intensified. If the enemy had not been unable to turn against each other publicly, the two sides might have been facing each other long ago.

"Gentlemen, I think the problem I am facing now is not just about going south or eastward," just as Denikin and Flanger were preparing to quarrel, a tender voice inserted in. Alexander Lovich, who is the short chief of staff, said seriously: "I don't know much about military issues, but I only know one thing. No matter what choice we make, the first thing is to keep confidential!"

"What does it mean?" asked Denikin in confusion.

"The situation we are facing is quite critical, and if our plan is noticed by the Red Bandits, it is very likely that they will take targeted measures to deal with us."

Denikin's mouth twitched, but he still didn't understand what the little nobleman wanted to say.

"I mean, there are spies among us of the Red Bandits, and all military operations must be strictly confidential!" Alexandrovic explained seriously.

Denikin became increasingly speechless. The White Army was quite complicated. It was almost inevitable that it was permeated by the Bolsheviks, so it was a bit nonsense to emphasize what was confidential. Because it was completely impossible to achieve true absolute confidentiality. So he didn't understand what Alexander Lovich wanted to express.

"Do I have to say it thoroughly?" Alexander Lovic snorted contemptuously. "It is certainly impossible to keep it completely confidential in the absolute sense, but we can't ignore the Red Army spies among our senior generals, right?"

"Are you accusing?" Dunnikin frowned.

"I'm just in case!" Alexander Lovic replied confidently.

Denikin asked relentlessly: "Who is the case?"

"Of course it's Mironov, this guy is so suspicious!"

Denikin was a little surprised when he heard the name Mironov. Although Mironov was a little turtle and troublesome, he didn't think Mironov was suspicious. If he was a spy from the Red Army, there was no need to make such extra suggestions. Shouldn't spies cater to them more, right?

"I don't think so." Alexander Lovic replied with a strong heart. "Maybe for ordinary spies, it is easier for them to cater to us and please us to penetrate into us. But if a senior spy like Mironov wants to completely gain our trust, he must act differently and must make some suggestions that seem to be what he thinks." As he said that, he glanced at Denikin and said, "I have to say that he pretended to be very successful!"

Denikin twitched his lips. He didn't expect Alexander Lovich to say such things. You said he made sense, there was no evidence at all, and it was completely similar. But if you say that he was wrong, it seemed like that.

"Then what do you think we should do? Arrest him and execute him?" Dunnikin asked with some displeasure.

Before Alexander Lovich answered, Flanger rushed to answer, "Why not?" He said with contempt: "The Red Bandits are all devils. Mironov has joined the Red Bandits and is a member of the Devil, and it is him who caused the Czech Legion to be almost wiped out. It is reasonable to execute him!"

Flanger disliked Mironov not only because Mironov had severely damaged the Czech legion, but more importantly, he had always been picking on him before and strongly condemned him for his corruption in military discipline and was a murderous devil.

To be honest, Flanger had long wanted to give him some color. It happened that Alexander Lovic opened this hole today, and it would be a pity not to use it.

"That's what happened before," said Denikin impatiently, "at that time he was confused by the Red Bandits, and it was understandable to make a wrong move. Now, he has repented and doubted him without reason!"

"How come there is no evidence!" Flanger was unhappy.

Denikin asked patiently: "Where is the evidence?"

"He was once a Red Bandit, and he also received the Red Flag Medal and some revolutionary commemorative weapons awarded by the Red Bandit. This fully demonstrates that he is a hardcore Red Bandit. How could the hardcore Red Bandit wake up and surrender to us when our situation is not particularly good? Obviously, he is a spy. He is here to spy on our military intelligence!"

Denikin was speechless. What kind of bullshit evidence is this? Is it all speculation? So he had to emphasize: "This is just your guess and estimate. We cannot act rashly until there is no real and reliable evidence!"

Flanger became popular. In his opinion, Denikin was simply inexplicable. Isn’t he just a surrendered Red Bandit? So what if he kills it? Isn’t it worth mentioning at all! In his opinion, there is only one reason why Denikin disagrees - it is to deliberately suppress him and refute his face!

This is no longer the first time Flanger thinks that Denikin deliberately does not give him face or deliberately suppress him. Denikin won't agree with every suggestion he made before, and he keeps accusing him of being too cruel. To be honest, Flanger has had enough!

"I strongly demand that problems be prevented before they happen!" Flanger slapped the table hard and said angrily.

Denikin wondered, not understanding what medicine Flanger had taken wrong, why did he always get along with Mironov? In his opinion, killing people without evidence, especially killing a Red Army Red Flag Medal winner who had just surrendered. This political impact was really bad. Kill Mironov indiscriminately. Who else in the Red Army dared to surrender to him in the future?

Denikin wants to do big things. How could a person with great ambitions let a butcher like Flanger ruin his big things?

So he also glared at Flanger and retorted hard: "There is no evidence, you can't kill people!"

Faced with the tough Dunny King Flanger could only leave, but everyone could see that the butcher was already angry, and the relationship between him and Dunny King had dropped to freezing point. Even if there was only one Mars, the conflict between them would break out.

Alexander Lovich became more and more impressed by a fairy thousands of kilometers away. When he was sent to the undercover agent, Li Xiaofeng specifically explained that the relationship between Denikin and Flanger was very bad. If possible, please try to intensify the conflict between them. This is of great significance to us to quell the rebellion!

Now, Alexander Lovic saw the great significance of a certain immortal. The issue of this military conference was originally to discuss the issue of advancing east or going south, but as he interrupted, the conference was disturbed. Without any conclusion, Denikin's troops would continue to stay on the east bank of the Volga River. If the Southwest Front could seize this opportunity... In an instant, Alexander Lovic's heart became hot. When he saw the importance of his actions, he became even more active.

Mironov soon learned about the argument about him at the military meeting, and was immediately under great pressure. Although Denikin strongly rejected Flanger's request, he also felt a strong sense of crisis. Flanger had clearly shown murderous intent, and he had to be careful.

But how to prevent it?

Mironov was at a loss for this issue. From then on, he shut up, never made any suggestions, and no longer cared about the bad things of the Wrangel army? Doing this can save his life, but if he does this, he will not be Mironov.

Just as Mironovmin was thinking about countermeasures, Denikin was hesitant, not knowing whether the information of advancing east or going south was fed to the Southwest Front Command. Tukhachevsky responded decisively, and the counterattack that had been slowly swaying like a warm water suddenly became fierce.

In Saratov, the Southwest Front attacked decisively and caught Denikin off guard. The Red Army crossed the Volga River and captured Pokrovsk on the other side of Saratov, and began to threaten the traffic line between Ural and Charizin.

This move is really too ruthless. If the connection between Ural and Chalizin is cut off, then Denikin's white army will be divided and surrounded!

Faced with this extremely unfavorable situation, Denikin had to hold a military meeting again. It was not that he was going to continue to discuss the issue of advancing east or going south, because Tukhachevsky had already made up his mind to him and decided to go south. The main discussion of the specific action plan was to convene a military meeting.

But what Denikin didn't expect was that the military conference had just been held and before he could get to the point, Flanger disrupted his rhythm.

"Our situation is quite unfavorable. The Red Army may divide and surround us at any time. The important reason for the passivity at the moment is the indecisiveness of the Commander-in-Chief!"

Denikin looked very bad and stared at Flanger gloomy. Who gave this guy so courage to fire directly at him?

Flangel glanced at Denikin with some smugness. He looked at the other party's face so he could make this old stubborn unhappy, which made him feel quite happy. Moreover, he had more than so many shells. Before Denikin could speak, he continued: "It's not only a matter of indecision, but more importantly, your indulgence has led to serious infiltration by the Red Bandits within us, making them know our secrets well!"

Denikin's beard shook and finally spoke: "What do you mean? Are you accusing me?"

Flanger sneered: "I am just fulfilling the obligation of a patriot, just telling the truth!" After a slight pause, Flanger sneered: "I strongly demand that this series of mistakes be corrected!"

Dunnikin looked at him coldly and asked gloomyly: "Correct the error?"

"Yes!" Flangel straightened his chest and said decisively: "It is to correct the mistake. First of all, we should take action immediately to get rid of the current passive situation. Secondly, we should immediately carry out a major internal cleanup and eliminate all the spies of the Red Bandits!" (To be continued...)
