503 Chaos (Part 1)

After Lierwen entered Irkutsk, he soon felt that the atmosphere in the city was unusual. How to say it? There was a kind of depression before the storm was about to come.

Lierwen asked Sokolov, the local Chika director of Irkutsk,: "What's going on in the city?"

Sokolov was a drunkard in his early thirties, and he squirted out a smell of alcohol when he opened his mouth: "Comrade Special Commissioner, the situation in the city is the same as before, it is just that the White Army has a little more and a little more messy."

It is conceivable that Li Erwin definitely doesn't like this answer. What kind of idiots can come to such a ridiculous conclusion? Can't these idiots who are embarrassed by Cheka see how nervous the current situation is?

According to Li Erwen's temper, she must deal with such idiots, but she quickly realized that she was not a Cheka person. Her purpose was to find clues about a certain immortal. As for whether the local Cheka person was responsible and competent, he had a dime with her?

On the contrary, the more useless the local cheka, the better. It is better to be a group of idiots that are great news.

Just as Lierwen was about to turn a blind eye and pretend not to see it, she suddenly noticed that Chabayev's expression was not very good. She realized that Chabayev was not disgusted with Sokolov's behavior.

Think about it, as a famous combat hero, Chabayev's style is quite tough, at least he is serious and responsible enough for his work. Especially at present, he is accepting the direct delegation of Trotsky and the Military Commission, and his sense of responsibility has reached an unprecedented level. If Li Erwin, a special envoy, did nothing, he might immediately get angry.

In fact, along the way, Lierwen had already experienced Chabayev's enthusiasm for work. In order to perform the mission, he could not sleep for three days and three nights in a row, and could advance fearlessly against the enemy's artillery fire.

Anyway, no White Army could cause trouble for Chabayev. Under the leadership of this very tough division commander, his cavalry was like a group of lions, and he tore the White Army like sheep into pieces in minutes.

To be honest, Lierwen was a little moved at that time, why did all the fierce men who could fight in the Russians surrender to the Bolsheviks? Look at the group of bad people on the White Army, except when they saw women and vodka, they were like mud in the pit.

Sometimes, Learvin spent so much money on his superiors, and they were armed with mobs, all of whom had no ideals. The Bolsheviks had no money, but they could arm an army of steel with short slogans. By comparison, they seemed so incompetent.

However, it is not suitable to think too much at this time. Learvin quickly looked stern and taught a lesson: "Comrade Sokolov, I am very dissatisfied with your attitude towards work. Look at your appearance, you are listless and drunk, and there is no such thing as a Communist Party member and a Cheka... I only give you five minutes. Within five minutes, you must immediately wake up, otherwise I don't mind helping you wake up well!"

Sokolov was startled. As an authentic Irkutsk, an authentic alcoholic, over the past year, in addition to occasionally reporting to the Siberian railway line, most of his job was to drink and sleep. So much so that he thought that revolution and anti-counterfeiting work were done.

Fortunately, the idiot's mind was not completely burned by inferior alcohol. He remembered Learvin's identity and the power that this identity could bring to him. To put it bluntly, as long as Learvin said, his head would have to fall to the ground. So in an instant, he woke up.

After trembling for a while, Sokolov changed into another face. He was respectful and did not even dare to show off his anger, for fear that he would be caught by the special envoy for a disagreement.

"It seems you're finally awake." Li Erwen snorted and asked contemptuously: "I'll ask you again, what's going on in the city?"

In fact, it is unnecessary to ask again, because Comrade Sokolov's work ability is really limited. To be honest, Chika's station in Irkutsk has basically not performed its due functions and can only do some very simple tasks - inquire about information from the local white military newspapers or the drunk white dog in the tavern.

Obviously, such information is very limited and the authenticity is even more difficult to guarantee. Fortunately, before Kolchak finished, the superiors were not interested in knowing what was going on in Irkuts, which made Sokolov stumble until now.

Li Erwen sighed faintly. Sometimes she felt incredible. Although Chika had already separated, Li Xiaofeng, as the outstanding representative of Chika, had already set up a new branch. But Li Erwen could not believe that in the past year or so, how did a fairy rely on such an unreliable organization to obtain so much important information?

Sometimes Learvin suspects that Cheka is just a cover for the Bolsheviks, an empty shell mechanism used to paralyze MI6. Because this mechanism is too incompetent and inefficient.

After sending Sokolov away and ordering the drunkard to do a real intelligence work, Liervin smiled bitterly at Chabayev: "It seems that the situation here is quite unsatisfactory, and the local cheka is not reliable at all!"

Chabayev complained in his heart: "The local cheka is not just unreliable. It would be a blessing for these grandchildren to not hold back!"

Of course, Chabayev is not a fool and will not directly attack his incompetent subordinates in front of a cheka leader. People bluntly reveal that his uglyness is considered self-criticism, and he, an outsider, interrupts without knowing the brilliance, would be a taboo.

So Chabayev just pretended that he hadn't heard what Lierwen said just now, and cleverly changed the topic: "Comrade Special Commissioner, please give the order, I will hit wherever you point!"

Lierwen glanced at Chabayev meaningfully. She had always thought that Chabayev was just a reckless Qiu Ba, who was a grassroots officer, who was better at using hands than brains. But now it seems that she needs to correct this impression. The Bolsheviks are too good at "educating" people. Even Qiu Ba like Chabayev can educate him so scheming. This ability is really great!

This is also impossible. When the Red Army was first established, the Bolsheviks could only appoint old officers, and only God knows whether these old officers were reliable. In order to prevent the old officers from usurping military power, the Bolsheviks could only use political commissars and chekas to restrict them.

But these political commissars and Cheka are honestly speaking. The working style is relatively rough, and they are stubborn and sing against them. It is easy to lose their heads. Under the pressure of reality, the Red Army officers can only try their best to improve their political level. Anyway, those who are not stupid can basically survive.

Pressure makes people progress. Under the pressure of survival, even the most vulgar Qiu Ba will learn to be smart. What's more, Chabayev is not the kind of rude one. Although he has a similar temper to the traditional Russian Russians, he likes to drink and dances around when he drinks too much, and his troops are full of guerrilla atmosphere. It is entirely up to his personal charm to maintain the relationship between the top and bottom.

However, it must be seen that Chabayev received "political education" very early. In 1918, when his troops continued to grow, his superiors were preparing to pick peaches. At that time, his troops were changed into divisions (it turned out to be brigades), but did not appoint Chabayev, who had pulled the team up as the division commander, but instead airborne a Zakharov to take over his troops.

To be honest, anyone can see that this is the superior who distrusts Chabayev and is preparing to take away his military power. Fortunately, Chabayev's soldiers did not buy Khazarov's account. They did not obey the command of the new division commander at all, forcing their superiors to reappoint Chabayev as their division commander.

The story and the entanglement did not end. Maybe Chabayev was very happy that he could restore his post at that time. But politics was much ugly than he thought. It can be imagined that Chabayev's superiors definitely did not like him and his thorny troops, and would definitely educate Chabayev well on how to be a human being.

Soon, the soft knife that killed people without blood was stabbed. Soon after, his superiors ordered his troops to attack Samara without giving any assistance. It seemed that he was going to use the White Army to destroy Chabayev's troops. However, what was more comic was that Chabayev's military genius played a role, and he miraculously annihilated an enemy army and won an unprecedented victory.

It seemed that the result was not bad here, and Chabayev might even be a little proud. But soon he couldn't be proud. The White Army quickly gathered another army to deal with him, who had suffered heavy damage, and his troops were soon caught in a siege.

At that time, Chibayev asked for support countless times, but his superiors ignored it.

In the end, Chabayev himself was desperate and directly telegraphed the Fourth Army headquarters: "...We have to repel the enemy's attacks on average five times a day. There are great casualties and two companies were captured. Many soldiers disobeyed and refused to obey. I had to shoot 10 people who led the trouble... I know you are going to kill me, but please let the soldiers go..."

After receiving this telegram, the Fourth Army ordered Chabayev to leave the troops and report to Trotsky to the Army Command. However, another telegram was sent soon: "Don't try to escape, otherwise you will be shot."

In the end, Chabayev, who was repaired miserably, was driven out of the army in shame and was sent to the Military Academy of the General Staff in the rear by the Fourth Army on the pretext of further study. Of course, fools knew that further study was fake, and it was true that it was to let him get out.

If Fu Longzhi hadn't admired him later and brought him back to the army, this combat hero might have become moldy in that corner of Moscow!

Anyway, that time he taught Chabayev a profound lesson, which made him understand that military achievements are nonsense, and if no one is behind him, he will be killed in minutes.

But to be aside, Chabayev's ending in history was not good. When Fu Longzhi was transferred, the man was repaired miserably again. His troops were almost completely dispersed, scattered on the two hundred kilometers long front, and was once again surrounded by the White Army.

That time, Lenin even alarmed, and the mentor personally sent a telegram to the Red Army Field Command: "Please save the brave and loyal commander Comrade Chabayev, who is more precious than gold."

This time, with the direct interference of the mentor, Chabayev was in danger again, but God seemed to be trying to tease him. Just when he returned home after the disaster, he was shocked to find that he was cuckolded. In anger, the fighting hero beat up his wife and divorced him.

The story afterwards was a complete tragedy. The wife, who was in trouble, tried to ask her husband for forgiveness, but was rejected. So in anger, she betrayed the location of her husband's division headquarters to Bai Jun (it can be seen how important it is to find a good wife!).

Under the sudden attack of the White Army, Chabayev was outnumbered and seriously injured and died.

Of course, this is a historical story. And in this time and space, Chabayev's luck is not that bad. Although he is still inevitably cuckolded, Kolchak collapsed earlier than in history, avoiding his coffee table ending.

It can be seen that encountering a little setback is not a bad thing for Chabayev. At least he understands that people's hearts are sinister, at least he will not be as arrogant as before, thinking that if he has made contributions, he can ignore everything. In short, winning is not arrogant, not being discouraged, not being discouraged, being a low-key person is the king.

But sometimes it is useless to be low-key for some people. They are born with a debilitating god. Poor Chabayev doesn't know that he is following a fake commissioner to engage in a counter-revolutionary plot that will force him to lose his head.

What's even more terrifying is that once the conspiracy of this fake commissioner caused great losses to the Bolsheviks to the Soviets, he would definitely be the one who took the blame in the end!

Why is it that Chabayev must be the one who takes the blame? No matter how you look at him, he is all victims, and the only thing you need to be condemned is Chika. The commissioner is so unreliable! But the question is, can Chika be condemned?

It is obvious that it cannot be. Cheka's current boss is Likov, who is an important figure in the Trotskyist school. Once Cheka is responsible for this, Likov will be the first to escape responsibility. Let me ask, is it Chabayev important to Trotsky, or is Likov important to Trotsky?

It is obvious that Trotsky will definitely protect Likov, and naturally the responsibility lies with Chabayev. He took the blame.

Of course, at this moment, Chabayev didn't know that he was planning to do a big battle and make new contributions. Anyway, the instructions to the special commissioner were completely implemented without any discount.

"?"

When Chabayev was wholeheartedly serving the commissioner, he never expected that the commissioner had just found an excuse to send him away in order to engage in a counter-revolutionary conspiracy.

"No, we found no clues in the city's eyeliner."

Learvin frowned slightly and asked again: "Where is the gold?"

"Gold is very safe and has a large number of troops to guard. Don't think of getting closer!"

"Don't be careless!" Li Erwin frowned again, "...By the way. When will gold start luck?"

In Lierwen's view, if the target of a certain immortal is gold, he will definitely revolve around gold. The ideal and safest way is to quickly transport the gold out of Russia. If someone leaves Russia, he may not be so unscrupulous.

"I'm afraid it's not that simple," Lierwen's idea was shattered by his subordinates in an instant. "The biggest problem now is that we, the French, American, Japanese and Russians are all fighting gold. Before we reach a distribution plan that satisfies all parties, this batch of gold can only stay in Irkutsk and can't go anywhere!"

"What?" Li Erwin was shocked, "What the hell is going on?" she asked in shock.

The matter started two days before Learvin arrived in Irkutsk. In order to openly include gold in his pocket, a major conflict broke out within the Allies.

"I think there is only one most important issue at the moment, that is, the military issue." French Intervention Army Commander Renan said seriously, "In view of the current chaos in the White Army, I think someone must stand up and stabilize the morale of the army! The position of the commander-in-chief cannot be vacant forever!"

In the last sentence, Renan said to Savengov, because the new interim government led by Savengov refused to appoint a new commander-in-chief, resulting in chaos in military command. It showed a strange state where no one obeyed the other and no one obeyed the orders.

Of course, Savengkov was not a fool, and he did not deliberately want to be a teammate of pigs. The reason why they did not appoint a new commander-in-chief was very simple, because of political interests. Kolchak forced them so badly before was because of military power. Anyway, both the Mensheviks and the Social Revolutionary Party no longer trusted the generals favored by the Allies. The Mensheviks and the Social Revolutionary Party determined that once the Allies found a new agent, they would be ruthlessly abandoned.

Therefore, in the election of the commander-in-chief, the Mensheviks and the Social Revolutionary Party must make their own voices and will not be at the mercy of the Allies.

"I propose to abolish the position of commander-in-chief of the three armies, and all the troops are commanded by the cabinet, which is more suitable for the current situation!" Savengov suggested.

However, his suggestion was immediately boycotted by the Allies:

"Absurd, how do literati command battles? Are there wars on paper?" Renan sarcastically said.

"This is completely an outsider to guide an expert!" Kurotoshi also clearly expressed his objection.

As for the British and American representatives, they also said: "A professional soldier must be in charge of the battle, otherwise we will not be able to convince the Congress (Parliament) to continue to support Russia's great cause!"

Even these people proposed their own candidates without waiting for Savengkov to object again. For a moment, Savengkov was very embarrassed. Of course, he didn't have to be embarrassed for a long time, because these guys would soon fight because of disagreement. Then some jokes would be made for him to see... (To be continued)
