Chapter 480: A Shot in the Arm
Seeing that the Soviet army had some signs of not being able to support it, Li Hui decided to give them a shot in the arm, the area on the east bank of the Volga River had promised to return after the establishment of Soviet Russia, but the previous Soviet Russian revolution was too smooth for Li Hui to be somewhat wary, so he was not so anxious to return, wanting to suppress the momentum of Soviet Russia, but now that the situation has changed, Li Hui changed his mind again, after he greeted the negotiation delegation, the negotiations that had been entangled in various details and were slow to advance quickly had results, The Chinese government agreed to formally return the lands east of the Volga River and west of the Ural Mountains to Soviet Russia on New Year's Day 1910.

The mentor immediately called Wuhan and expressed his gratitude to the Chinese government and people for their tolerance and generosity, and said in the telegram that the previous historical grievances and territorial disputes between the two countries were caused by the brutal and corrupt tsarist government, and that the expansion of the tsarist government had caused great suffering not only to the Chinese people, but also to the Russian people, and was the common enemy of the two peoples. It is hoped that the people of the two countries, who are also industrious, kind, brave and wise, will henceforth become comrades and brothers who help each other and will be friendly for generations to come......
Whether the mentor is really so grateful or not, only he knows, but it is really of great significance to the Soviet government to take back such a large core territory, because this territory was ceded by the Russian government, and now the new Soviet government has taken it back, in any way, it can show that the new regime is stronger than the old one, which will be of great help to the Soviet government to win the hearts and minds of the people in the country, even if the workers are the basic group has little influence, and there are also peasants and intellectuals who need to be united (due to the influence they received during their time in China). At this time, the policy of intellectuals in the early days of Soviet Russia, especially for science and engineering intellectuals, was very different from that of history. What about it.
In addition, the successive victories of the coalition forces also quickly aroused the patriotic enthusiasm of the whole Russia, although there are still some foolish people who delusionally think that the old Russia can be restored after the victory of the coalition forces, but those smart people among them know that if the Soviet Union really allows the coalition forces to be defeated, then Russia may become a historical term in the future. Thus, even though some of them still had different views on the ideas and practices of the Bolsheviks, they changed their previous resistance and began to cooperate actively with the Soviet government, especially to the delight of the mentor by a group of senior generals of the old Russia, represented by cavalry general Alexei Alekseevich Brusilov.
This time and space because a large number of Bolshevik backbones have been trained in military academies in China and have much higher military capabilities than in history, so it is not as extremely lacking in military cadres as in history, but military academies can only train grassroots officers after all, and the revolutionary process of Soviet Russia in this time and space is too smooth, unless it is a talented person like Frunze and Budyonny, at most it can only grow to the military command ability of the regiment commander and brigade commander, so the Soviet Russian Red Army now has a very fatal problem, That is the shortage of high-ranking generals.
In the civil war, we faced the White Army, which was poorly organized, and it was inferior to our own in terms of troops, and it was basically able to sweep away with the "hammer and sickle" alone, which was not a big problem, but now in the face of the coalition forces of the Western capitalist powers, it was very fatal to lack the ability to command large corps. Frunze and Budyonny can only be responsible for one enemy route at most, so what about the rest of the way? Do you want the mentor to lead the troops himself? The mentor still has a set of strategies, which is much stronger than Comrade Steel, but even if he learns a lot of common-sense knowledge in China, he can only do it, not to mention that he still has to sit in the central government to coordinate the overall situation, and he can't get out at all.
Therefore, the surrender of a group of senior Russian generals is of great significance, especially Alexei Alekseevich Brusilov, whose performance during the Three Kingdoms War was praised by Bai Lang, if it were not for the fact that the Russian army had never won before, he could only judge the lower limit of the Chinese army and could not touch the upper limit, the "Brusilov offensive" might really have the possibility of success. Even the failed "Brusilov Offensive" caused the largest casualties among the Chinese army during the Sino-Russian war, which is enough to show that he stood out among the senior generals of Tsarist Russia.
As for the issue of loyalty, the mentor does not have to worry, because there are political commissars, even if these old Russian military officers have two hearts, they can't pull away the army, and the political commissars of the Soviet Russian Red Army are not as demanding as the Chinese people's army in history, and they are much faster to train than military commanders. And because the old Russian army in this time and space is only used as a supplement, it is very different from the snow in history, and the danger is naturally even less.
It is worth mentioning that Alexei Alekseevich Brusilov can not only be qualified as a general, but also put forward some constructive suggestions on the overall strategic situation, and it is after discussing with him that the mentor changed the original deployment, and temporarily hid the 1st Cavalry Army, which was originally intended to be used to meet the enemy in the middle, as a decisive weapon at the critical moment, and only sent a small force in the middle to attack and harass the enemy to exhaust the enemy, while the two enemy forces blocking the flank were more resolute. If the enemy in the middle is afraid that the flank will not dare to go deep, then the Red Army will be able to block the strongest enemy in the center without exerting any strength, and if they dare to go deeper, it will give the Red Army a chance to make a big dumpling.
In the final analysis, time is on the side of Soviet Russia, as long as it does not suffer a major defeat, as the war continues, the generals and troops of the Red Army will grow rapidly, and the military strength of Soviet Russia will become stronger and stronger. In fact, defending the two wings and luring the middle is exactly what is in mind......
It didn't take long for the mentor to realize that this plan could not be completed, because the enemy who was ready to resist did not resist, and the enemy who wanted to be chased did not pursue, and the enemy army who was originally only ready to resist was actually pushed back by the Red Army that was ordered to defend, and the whole battle situation had completely become a mess, how could the original plan be carried out?
