Elista, a Russian city about two hundred kilometers south of Tsaritsyn. Originally, it was just a small town in the North Caucasus. However, it is now on the verge of becoming a sea of soldiers.

Tsaritsyn was captured by the Chinese* army, and the Don and Volga rivers were again controlled by the Chinese navy and army. This made it impossible for Tukhachevsky's Caucasian Front to retreat north and return to the hinterland of Soviet Russia. In addition, the Ural Front of the Russian Red Army faced a crushing defeat, and the remaining units of the Russian Red Army had to gather eastward to prevent the Chinese* army from taking the opportunity to cross the Ural Mountains and the Ural River. Therefore, the Russian Red Army no longer had any more troops to supply to Tukhachevsky. There was not even a way to send troops to relieve him.

The order given to Tukhachevsky by Ulyanov and the Supreme Military Council of Soviet Russia was to let him lead the Caucasian Front to fight the Chinese* army south of the Don and Volga rivers, contain the Chinese* army, and buy time for the Soviet Union to arm more troops.

Therefore, after Tukhachevsky retreated to Elista, he did not go north, but used this place as a base, building fortifications while collecting grain, grass, weapons and ammunition, and preparing to hold here for a long time.

In response to Tukhachevsky's strategy, the 9th and 13th armies of the Imperial Army began to approach Elista from both the north and the south. Even so, the combined strength of the two armies of the Imperial Army was only two-thirds of the Caucasian Front of the Russian Red Army. However, in terms of combat effectiveness, it was not at all below the Caucasian Front of the Soviet Russian Red Army. Tukhachevsky's remnants of the defeated generals and recruits want to fight against the elite army of the empire, which is undoubtedly more difficult than ascending to the sky.

However, if they chose to storm Elista, the Imperial Army would have paid at least 20,000 men. Therefore. It would undoubtedly be better if the Caucasian Front could be dealt with in other ways.

"Your Majesty, Tukhachevsky has gathered all his troops at Elista, where he is ready to put up a stubborn resistance. If we attack Elista, we will be able to win. However, the casualties of the Imperial Army will not be much smaller. Therefore. The Imperial General Staff believed that we could turn against Tukhachevsky and thus solve the Caucasian Front in one fell swoop. Marshal Shi Tianhan, Chief of the General Staff, said.

"Rebelling against Tukhachevsky, that's not an easy task! He is one of the high-ranking generals of the Soviet Russian Red Army, and he is just around the corner to become the marshal of the Soviet Russian Red Army. In addition, Ulyanov has the grace of knowing him. I want him to betray Soviet Russia and betray Ulyanov. It's not that easy. Wu Haoxuan shook his head with a smile. Wu Haoxuan knew that Tukhachevsky was one of the five early marshals of Soviet Russia, and he served as the chief of the general staff of the Soviet Red Army for a long time. Although, in the end, the ending was not very good, and he died in the anti-intrigue of the Germans. But even so, Tukhachevsky was an absolute high-ranking general in Soviet Russia, and his future was bright. It would undoubtedly be very difficult for him to betray.

"Your Majesty. Now the Caucasian Front was already under siege by the Imperial Army. If Tukhachevsky does not accept our rebellion, he will be dead. As a young man who is only 27 years old. He definitely didn't want to die young. In addition, Tukhachevsky came from an aristocratic family and joined the Bolsheviks only by chance. If he can regain his status as a nobleman of the Russian Empire and receive the title of duke, it will be for him. It should be a big temptation. Marshal Shi Tianhan said.

Wu Haoxuan nodded, in this case, maybe they could really rebel against Tukhachevsky.

"Let's get in touch with the Russian Empire, if you can get an outstanding young general of the Red Army to surrender to them, for the Russian Empire. There are also huge benefits. I believe that the Russian Empire will not refuse. Wu Haoxuan said.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Shi Tianhan nodded. He knew that this was Wu Haoxuan's approval of their rebellion plan.

On February 16, 1893, Tukhachevsky was born in a noble family in Dorogobuzh County, Smolensk Province. In 1904, his father moved the family to the village of Urazh in Penza Province, and later to Moscow in 1909. At the age of 18, Tukhachevsky left secondary school and entered the 1st Armament School of Catherine in Moscow, and later transferred to the Alexander Military Academy; In July 4612 (14) of the Yellow Emperor Era, he graduated with the rank of second lieutenant and served in the Semenov Guards Regiment.

The following year, he made several unsuccessful attempts to escape, and was transferred to Ingolstadt Fortress No. 9, which was used to hold "fugitives". Later, when he escaped again and was recaptured, he wisely blended into a prisoner of war camp for soldiers. In the autumn of 4615 (17) of the Yellow Emperor Era, he fled back to Russia with the help of the captured soldiers of the battalion and served as a company commander in his original unit.

After the victory of the October Revolution in 4615 (17) A.D., Tukhachevsky met his old classmate in Moscow, the Bolshevik Nikolai Nikolayevich. Under its influence, Tukhachevsky chose a new path in life. In the spring of 4616 (18) A.D., the Soviet government moved from Petrograd to Moscow, and Tukhachevsky began to work in the Military Department of the All-Russian Soviet Central Executive Committee, and in April of the same year joined the Bolshevik Party.

Since then, Tukhachevsky has risen to prominence as a senior commander of the Russian Red Army, and has been appreciated by Ulyanov.

The Russian Empire did not refuse the Chinese Empire's plan to plot against Tukhachevsky, and gave it the greatest support. Empress Anastasia agreed to pardon Tukhachevsky's sins if he was willing to surrender to the Russian Empire, and to make him Duke of the Russian Empire and appoint him Chief of the General Staff of the Russian Imperial Army. It can be said that such conditions are already very favorable, as long as Tukhachevsky's brain is not caught in the door, there is no reason to refuse.

While the 9th and 13th armies of the Imperial Army continued to approach Elista, intelligence officers from the Reich* Military Intelligence Agency also mixed in with Elista and prepared to complete the task of plotting against Tukhachevsky.

The whole of Elista has been controlled by the Caucasian Front. Others, simply can't get in. Therefore, the agents sent by the Reich * Military Intelligence this time are also Russian. It's just that after the last defeat of Russia by the Empire, he has already served the Empire as an agent of the Military Intelligence Directorate, and now has received the rank of major.

After moving the headquarters to Elista, Tukhachevsky was very worried. He realized that this time the Russian Red Army and the Bolsheviks should be in big trouble. Perhaps, they did not expect that after provoking the Chinese Empire this time, there would be such serious consequences. Even, if it is not handled well, Soviet Russia may be destroyed. If he had known, he believed that neither Ulyanov nor other senior Bolshevik leaders would have agreed to provoke the Chinese Empire.

It's just that there is no regret medicine in the world. It's too late to say anything.

For the sake of his own life and future, Tukhachevsky tried every means to strengthen the defense of Elista, trying to be able to resist the attack of the Chinese* army here, to buy time, so that he could wait for the turning point to appear.

However, Tukhachevsky also knows that this is very difficult. Although the number of troops under his command is quite large, the real elite is too few. Most of the armies are just new recruits. Even the elite units of the Russian Red Army could not compete with the Chinese Army, let alone these recruits. Tukhachevsky optimistically estimated that if the Chinese* army started to attack, they would be able to hold out for a month at most. A month later, it is estimated that it will be time to play with the little life. This made Tukhachevsky very unwilling, he is only 27 years old this year, he is a young man with integrity, and he still has a lot of time to make achievements. It would be a shame to go to God now. Of course, because he chose to believe in the Bolsheviks, even after his death, he probably won't be able to see God, and it's almost the same to see Marx.

"It would be nice if we could live!" Tukhachevsky thought secretly. His wife and son are still waiting for him in Moscow. However, this time he estimated that he would not be able to escape and would never go back.

"Comrade Commander, there is a man who claims to be your friend and wants to see you." Guards reported to Tukhachevsky.

"Friends? I don't have any friends in Elista! Tukhachevsky frowned.

"Comrade Commander, then shall we drive him away, or arrest him. Perhaps, he is a spy for the enemy. The guard said immediately.

"Spies?" These two words made Tukhachevsky's heart move, and he secretly guessed that maybe he was really a spy of the enemy. If it's really a spy, then the other party must have come to recruit him. Although Tukhachevsky's greatest hatred is spies, it seems like a good choice if he can take the opportunity to save his life. It was precisely because of the desire for life that Tukhachevsky's ghost envoy met with this friend who appeared inexplicably.

Soon, tall young men with flaxen-colored hair appeared in front of Tukhachevsky. Tukhachevsky thought about it carefully, and he could be sure that he didn't know this guy at all. Then, the identity of this guy, he seems to be able to determine. (To be continued.) )
