Admiral Kolchak, escorted by the Americans, went ashore in Vladivostok, and then took a train along the Trans-Siberian Railway to Ufa, where he took up the post of Minister of Military Affairs of the Provisional Government. Subsequently, the Provisional Government was forced to move to Omsk. Dissatisfied with the ruling Mensheviks, he led the old officer corps in a coup d'état that overthrew the Socialists. He then became the supreme governor of the Provisional Government. He was surrounded by aristocrats, old military officers, capitalists, landlords and kulaks who had fled from Europe, a general who was considered to have an iron will and a strong character, and these "reactionaries" expected that he would be able to save the country from the dead end and the brutality of the SPD's rule.

And he was also supported by the Czech Legion.

Soon, Kolchak's White Guards crossed the Ural Mountains and engaged in fierce battles with the Red Guards on the line from Ufa to Samara.

Along the long railway line from Chelyabinsk to Irkutsk, the stations are crowded with hordes of Chinese laborers, surrounded by large bags and luggage, all ready to go far away.

These are all Chinese workers who were gathered by the Beiyang soldiers sent in the early stage, and are ready to return to China with the Chinese army.

At a small station called Ogiyev east of Chelyabinsk, He Sui paced back and forth on the platform where a red troop carrier was parked, and said a little impatiently: "His grandmother's, Jiang Yuyan has made me miserable, this person eats horses and chews, tens of thousands of people, where can I find so much food?!" If he doesn't send anyone more, I'll have to lie on the railroad tracks! He took a sip of the tobacco residue in his mouth, his face swollen red, "The Russians of the dog day still don't let people live in peace!" ”

Wu Zhongmi, who was standing on the side, said: "Zhuo Ran is right, it's not a matter for us to spend here, otherwise we will help the Red Army win." ”

"Why help the Red Army?" A young officer asked.

"Because many of the White Army were Cossacks, we got angry when we heard these three words. I think it was these miscellaneous scraps who burned, killed and looted in the Northeast back then, and they also occupied so much of our territory. Wu Zhong said, "The battle of Yaksa was fought with the Cossacks. ”

"That's all the Tsar's business, the Cossacks are just guns for people." He Sui said.

"Anyway, we just don't feel good when we hear the name of the Cossacks, fuck, a few Cossack bandits wanted to rob the gold mine a few days ago, and they were killed by the brothers." Wu Zhong said.

"You really killed someone?" The young officer asked, somewhat surprised, "I thought those people were bragging!" ”

"What's the matter, those goods actually ran to the mine in a big way, and asked my laborers to hand over the gold they had mined for the past year. I went over with a dozen brothers, and a few of them held one of them down and wiped them on their necks with knives......" Wu Zhong gestured with his hand on his neck, "It's easier than killing a pig." After finishing the matter, he was buried in the mine, and a few guns were dropped, and the mine policemen have not been seen until now. ”

"Why are we fighting for the Russians? When Vice Minister Xu sent us out, he said that he wanted us to wait for an opportunity to prepare for the recovery of Siberia, but now we have all gone to the Urals to work as miners for almost two years. "I just want to go home early now, and I don't want to stay any longer." ”

He Sui looked even more irritable, turned his head and scolded angrily: "Shut up! Zhang Shixun, you don't give the fuck to Lao Tzu to shake the army's heart! ”

Zhang Shixun lowered his head and muttered in his mouth, "Didn't I just say something from my heart?" ”

He Sui ignored him anymore, Jiang Zuobin deceived him from the European military expedition to the Urals, and said that he would let him have troops in the future, but now it is good, there are indeed tens of thousands of people, but there are only a few hundred broken guns. That's all he got from the Russians on his own mind.

It was his guard Rohan running over, "Boss, someone wants to see you!" ”

"Sir, how many times have I told you?"

"Yes, sir!" Luo Han hurriedly stood upright, and while he was talking, several Russian officers wearing Circassian uniforms walked along the platform, and the Chinese present looked curiously at the long leather caps on their heads. The Russian officer at the head gave a military salute to He Sui, and then said: "I heard that some of you are soldiers, and we are the representatives sent by General Thorev, who is the commander-in-chief of the Southern Army appointed by the Supreme Governor, and the general hopes that you can help us for the sake of our past friendship." ”

He Sui said: "I think it would be better for us not to participate in the fight of your own family, and the government has also instructed us to maintain a neutral position!" ”

The White Army officer said in a consultative tone: "Now the railroad has been destroyed, and it is impossible to open to traffic at all. General Dutov had already telegraphed that an army of tens of thousands of Chinese had crossed the Ural and was rushing here. He wants us to invite you to join us with all our might, and we will pay you accordingly, including food and gold. ”

A businessman-like figure behind the White Russian representative hurriedly said: "The Provisional Government has received hundreds of millions of rubles worth of gold from the state treasury in Kazan, and General Torev is willing to give you 300,000 gold rubles in advance and provide you with the clothing and food you need." We don't require you to fight on the front line, but there is a real shortage of manpower in logistics, and we just need you to ensure logistics and transportation. If we overthrow the Soviets in Moscow, there will be a good reward. ”

He Sui was overjoyed when he heard the news that reinforcements were coming, and Tolev's conditions were not completely unacceptable, and the Chinese Army itself was fighting for the White Army in the Don River Valley.

"Okay, we can do something for you for the time being, but we can't be the master for how long we can do it, and we have to listen to domestic orders." He Sui said, "However, you must first send 10,000 poods of food, we are hungry and have no strength to work." ”

"Okay, okay, we'll send the food tomorrow." The representative of the White Army looked happy, "We will attack soon, you just need to follow us to transport supplies." ”

With that, several representatives of the White Army left in a hurry.

"Is this possible?" Wu Zhong stood aside and said.

"What's not to do? After dealing with it for more than ten days, haven't you heard that our reinforcements will arrive soon? He Sui said with a relaxed expression.

"That team he's talking about is our reinforcements?" Wu Zhong asked.

"Of course, I am willing to go to the Urals to suffer this crime because I agreed with Jiang Zuobin in advance, why did you call you over?" He Sui said, "If you don't have soldiers in your hands, you can't speak." If you want to have a say in state affairs, you must first have military power. ”

"Comrade, I find that you are now more and more inclined to become a warlord." Wu Zhong said, "It's not the hot-blooded young man of Xinhai at that time. ”

"It's not that I'm going to be persecuted, my wish now is to eradicate these warlords." He Sui said, "So many friends became martyrs back then, but now that the country has become like this, how can we make them feel at ease under Jiuquan." Well, let's keep an eye on the liaison officers on the railway line these days, and when we see the troops of the countrymen coming, we will immediately send back the news. ”

The Chinese Workers Corps had secret contact points along the railway, and in fact, the assembly points of each company and platoon had already been arranged in advance, and everyone could move together as soon as reinforcements arrived.
