Although in Tobolsk, Jiang Baili had provided some support nearby, but because these supports were too limited, Kolchak ultimately failed under Frunze's offensive.

The defeated Kolchak had to withdraw from Tobolsk and retreat in the direction of Omsk.

However, when Kolchak retreated to Omsk, he had to face another choice, that is, whether to continue to hold out in Omsk or continue to retreat in the direction of Lake Baikal.

Today, when the Romanov dynasty collapsed and Tsarist Russia ceased to exist, Kolchak was the only one left in the White army still resisting the Bolsheviks in Russia.

As for the other White Army, which once recognized Kolchak's leadership? In the past year or so of wars, almost all of them have been defeated. This even includes Denikin and Yudenrich.

Denikin was already a senior general at the time of the outbreak of the war in Europe, and later went to Galicia to command operations. In 1916, Denikin commanded the Eighth Army in an offensive against Romania.

After the February Revolution, Denikin became Chief of Staff of the Supreme Commander of the Russian Bourgeois Provisional Axe, Commander of the Western and Southwestern Fronts, and assistant commander-in-chief for three terms. Deng was also implicated in the Kornilov rebellion and was arrested with Korninov in September 1917.

After the October Revolution, Deng escaped from prison and fled to southern Russia, where he organized a volunteer army consisting of part of the Black Sea Fleet, the Don Cossacks, the Caucasus regions, and the White Army of the Ukrainian Military District in the North Caucasus to conduct a military operation against the Russian Bolsheviks. In April 1918, Deng became the commander of this army. In the autumn of the same year, with the support of the Entente, he served as commander-in-chief of the "Armed Forces of South Russia", and he led the White Guards from the Don River to the south and north, and invaded Moscow in a big way, and almost captured Moscow, but was routed by the Red Army in November.

At that time, it was Stalin and Tukhachevsky, who had already relieved Kolchak of the crisis caused by the Red Army.

Now, after the failed assault on Moscow, Denikin has gone into exile with his family to England.

Incidentally, after Kolchak's death, Denikin, who settled in France and wrote and founded a newspaper called the Volunteer Army, was regarded as the spiritual leader of the 2 million White Russian exiles around the world at that time.

On June 22, 1941, the German fascists attacked the Soviet Union, and the Great Patriotic War broke out. In his personal name, Denikin called on Russians across the globe to unite and fight for the nation. For this reason, the USSR began to change the perception of Denikin in the history textbooks published in the 80s of the 20th century, and the words "patriotic general" appeared.

But this did not mean that Denikin changed his hostile attitude towards Soviet power. After the end of World War II in 1945, he repeatedly sent letters to Allied Commander Eisenhower, calling on him to stop handing over former Russian [***] officers to the Soviet Union and to stop cooperating with Soviet political axes. He then moved to the United States, where he died on August 8, 1947, at the age of 75.

As for Yuden Rich? This figure who once fought side by side with Jiang Baili in the Caucasus?

After Kolchak launched an offensive into the Volga River Valley, he also responded to Kolchak's call and led his troops to attack Petrograd (now St. Petersburg) twice, but unfortunately, like Denikin, he was defeated by the Russian Red Army in November, and finally had to lead the remnants to retreat to Estonia.

After being disarmed in Estonia, Yudenrich moved to England in 20 years and later to France. However, unlike Denikin, who did not die until 47, Yudenrich died in 33, so he did not witness the German invasion of the Soviet Union.

―――――――――― after the White Army under the command of generals such as Denikin and Yudenrich suffered a crushing defeat under the offensive of the Russian Red Army and went into exile, only Kolchak was the only commander of the White Army who still held out in Russia.

And even behind this only one person, there is also the Soviet Russian Red Army commanded by Frunze pressing step by step. Therefore, although according to Kolchak's plan, he first had to retreat to Omsk, but in fact, whether he could hold Frunze's attack in Omsk, Kolchak was not sure at all.

"General, if it really doesn't work, let's follow the advice of the Chinese..."

Seeing that Kolchak was still thinking there, his adjutant stepped forward and persuaded him.

However, hearing the adjutant's words, Kolchak shook his head.

Chinese recommendations......... Those Chinese may not really be well-intentioned..."

Although Kolchak's current appearance looks like he is in a desperate situation, for this reason, both Kolchak, Britain and the United States and other countries have also asked China's expeditionary force in the south of the Volga River to go north to rescue Kolchak.

But when Kolchak's White Army was counterattacked by the Russian Red Army, Chiang Baili's expeditionary force still sat back and watched Kolchak's defeat in the south of the Volga River.

Of course, after defeating Kolchak's White Army, Frunze was also very sensible and did not provoke Jiang Baili.

As for the national social political axe?

Although when Kolchak encountered a crisis, Britain, the United States and Kolchak had asked the national social axe to support Kolchak, for example, in weapons and ammunition, or simply let the expeditionary force on the south bank of the Volga River go north.

But in the end, the national government axe refused, and then sat back and watched Kolchak's defeat.

However, after Kolchak's defeat, the national government axe put forward an opinion, that is, Kolchak took his remaining forces into the area controlled by China and escaped the pursuit of the Soviet Russian Red Army.

Although the Russian Bolsheviks hated Kolchak, the leader of the White Bandit Army, their teeth were itching, but the Chinese Expeditionary Force still had a very strong deterrent effect in Central and West Asia, so as long as Kolchak escaped into the control of the expeditionary force, it would be useless for the Russian Bolsheviks to hate Kolchak.

I have to say, this is indeed a good opinion.

Because in the case of the national social axe has made it clear that it is not ready to send troops, this is already the only solution for Kolchak.

Moreover, the national social political axe also proposed that after Kolchak entered the control of the expeditionary force, Kolchak and his remnants could take the Central Asian railway to Siberia.

Although the momentum of the Soviet Russian Red Army has been very strong recently, the Russian group of Bolsheviks has not yet been able to go to Siberia when the Entente forces are still fighting fiercely with the Soviet Red Army in Europe.

It would be even more foolproof if all the key parts of the Trans-Siberian Railway, such as bridges and tunnels, could be blown up.

Therefore, if Kolchak can hide in Siberia, he can establish a Far Eastern republic there first.

In fact, in history, Kolchak did think so, and in the Far East there is still the power of the national social axe, in Siberia, although the population of Siberia is sparse, but with the back of the national social axe, it is not impossible to die and struggle... This proposal of the national social political axe still made Kolchak's subordinates moved.

But when Kolchak made a decision, Kolchak flatly rejected the proposal.

"No..."

That's right, no.

"Let's get under China's control? Those Chinese definitely did not follow their intentions, if we really did what they wanted, I am afraid that they would be disarmed by those Chinese not long after they entered their control..."

That's right, that's what Kolchak was worried about.

Although Kolchak is indeed a layman who commands land warfare or something, he is also an admiral, and whether it is now or in history, it took Kolchak not long to overthrow the original temporary political axe, and then became the [Supreme Commander of All Russia] himself.

There are only two reasons why Kolchak will fail, one is that his own forces are too weak, and the other is that his opponents are too strong.

Although the Soviet Russian political axe at that time was at the point of internal and external troubles, the Soviet Russian political axe, which had famous generals such as Frunze and Tukhachevsky, was by no means comparable to the weak Kolchak, so Kolchak's defeat did not show that he was an incompetent person.

In fact, Kolchak had already discovered the purpose of the national social political axe a long time ago, that is..."Gold..."Facing the surprised expressions of his subordinates, Kolchak said categorically.

"Gold?"

Hearing Kolchak say this, his subordinates were somewhat surprised.

"That's right, Gold!"

The officer corps tasked with helping Kolchak may feel that their actions are secretive, but Kolchak is the commander of the White Army, so it doesn't take long for them to notice their move.

It's just that the White Army at that time had 600,000 people, and it was a critical moment to prepare for an attack on the Soviet Russian regime, so Kolchak didn't pay much attention, of course, the most important thing is that Kolchak was not worried.

True, Kolchak did not worry, and there was no need for him to worry.

Because Kolchak had 600,000 White troops at that time, and there were also large armies under the command of Denikin and Yudenrich in the other two directions, and the situation in Kolchak at that time was very good, there was no need to worry that a corps of officers of several hundred people would steal more than 1,000 tons of gold from his army of 600,000.

From the care of 600,000 White troops, more than 1,000 tons of gold were transferred hundreds of kilometers away.

Hm... Even if it's the miraculous 007 that later generations bragged, or the special forces of MD, they can't do it.

Although the capabilities of the Military Intelligence Agency are good in this era, it is at most a large-scale primary intelligence agency, and there is still a big gap between it and the FBI, CIA, KGB, or national security in later generations.

Of course, if you send Transformers or Superman or something, it will be counted separately, and of course, MD will directly send a large army to defeat the White Army.

Therefore, for more than a thousand tons of gold or something, Kolchak is really quite at ease.

However, that was only at the time... The current White Army has suffered a miserable defeat, and even if you count the 200,000 White troops still in your hometown, Kolchak now has only more than 400,000 troops in his hands.

With more than 400,000 troops, if it was in the past, Kolchak would have thought that this was a very large force, but the encounter in the Volga valley made Kolchak understand that his more than 400,000 White Army was not necessarily stronger than the 100,000-odd Red Army of Soviet Russia, let alone the expeditionary force that controlled most of West Asia and Central Asia.

Therefore, if you really follow Yan Guang's will and bring the team that is still loyal to you into the control of the expeditionary force, then the final result is nothing more than that you will be disarmed, and then more than a thousand tons of gold will all go to the Chinese.

Wait until all the gold is returned to the Chinese, to see if these Chinese will find out in conscience and send themselves and their teams to the Far East, or... Or simply, get rid of himself and his cronies, and then return the rest to Soviet Russia―――――― since Kolchak can discover Yan Guang's coveting of gold, he can naturally also discover the matter between the national social political axe and the Soviet Russian political axe.

What's more, even if Kolchak can't find out, Anglo-American, who has contact with him and has always supported him, will tell him.

"So..."

After hearing Kolchak recount the reason, his two subordinates were also in a dilemma.

Although in the past period of time, because of the purchase of various things and perhaps the support of Britain and the United States and other countries for Kolchak, Kolchak's more than 1,600 tons of gold have only more than 1,000 tons left, but this is still a considerable amount.

If anything, it is equivalent to at least 300 million pounds.

With such a huge sum of money, no one will not be tempted, after all, as long as you can get this gold, even an ordinary person can be rich... As for a country? 300 million pounds is almost equivalent to more than 3 billion silver dollars. Although there are several countries with annual fiscal revenues of more than three billion silver dollars, what is the annual fiscal balance?

You know, money is not only to be earned, but also to be spent.

A country like China, which spends more than 60 percent of its annual military spending, is unlikely to have extra money in hand. As for countries like Britain and France? Don't forget, Britain and France have been fighting a European war with Germany for more than four years, and even if they can have some money, it is estimated that it will be almost spent, and the only one who can have a little money left over at present is probably the United States.

Therefore, even for one country, this thousand tons of gold in Kolchak is by no means a small amount.

Aren't the British and American in history eyeing Kolchak's gold? Although there was no way to do it in the end because of the distance, he still sold the weapons that Kolchak urgently needed at a black price.

"So, General, what should we do now?"

After hearing Kolchak's analysis, a general standing aside asked with some concern.

Kolchak had already considered this, so he hurriedly replied after hearing the words of his subordinates.

"Let's go!"

"Let's go?"

"That's right, let's go." Kolchak gathered his thoughts for a moment and continued. "The Chinese have long been eyeing our gold, so if we listen to them and really go to the area they control, I believe that it will not be long before the owner of this gold will not be us, so we must not listen to the Chinese."

But we can't stay here anymore, after all, the Bolsheviks are also a very real threat, so we have only one way out, and that is to go.

Go east, go in the direction of the Far East, go to the Far East to the east of Lake Baikal and east, destroying the Trans-Siberian Railway along the way, so that the Bolsheviks in Soviet Russia will not be able to catch up with us, and we can rely on the power of the Chinese in the Far East to develop slowly ..."

Historically, Kolchak did just that.

Of course, unlike history, West and Central Asia were under the control of Soviet Russia at that time, but now they are the sphere of influence of the expeditionary force. But the same thing is the same, that is, Kolchak must not enter the sphere of influence of the expeditionary force, unless he has decided to abandon the more than a thousand tons of gold that he has with him... More than 1,000 tons of gold, more than 300 million pounds, more than 3 billion silver dollars... This is not only a huge wealth that is hard to give up, but also the biggest capital of Kolchak's comeback.

"Far East..."Hearing Kolchak say this, several subordinates looked at each other.

It is true that these subordinates agree with Kolchak's words, but there is one question that is very realistic..."But General, it is already November, and the weather has become quite cold, and the weather in Siberia will only be colder than it is now, and if we really go along the Trans-Siberian Railway towards the Far East, I am afraid that the cold weather will be..."

When he said this, the faces of several subordinates showed male colors.

It's also a very real threat, and the cold weather in winter is no joke.

For example, in the northern part of China, the atmosphere usually reaches about minus 20 degrees Celsius after entering winter, and some areas, such as Mohe Town in Heilongjiang, can even reach ultra-low temperatures of minus 50 degrees.

As for how cold the Siberian winter will be, this is something to imagine... Suffice it to say that Siberia in winter is by no means a suitable place for human survival ... If it is in the later life, it is still appropriate, at least there are more warm measures in the later generations, and there is no need to worry about freezing to death if you live in Siberia, but now Siberia... And even more so to march in the cold Siberian winter? Indeed, the cold winter could make the Russian Red Army abandon their pursuit, but it would also cause them to freeze to death in Siberia.

"Don't worry, I've already thought about this..."

Hearing his subordinates' concerns, Kolchak shook his head.

"The Siberian winter is indeed cold, but if we can march along the Trans-Siberian Railway, with the help of the trains, at least we will not worry about the movement of more than a thousand tons of gold. What's more, when the Trans-Siberian Railway was built, because the cold in the Siberian region in winter was also considered, it was built relatively close to Outer Mongolia, and if we really couldn't bear it during the march, we could completely give up continuing the march and turn south into the Chinese's sphere of influence..."

Just if you do this, not only will all the previous sins be in vain, but the more than 1,000 tons of gold may no longer be surnamed [Russian] but changed to [Yan] in the future, so Kolchak will never do this unless it is absolutely necessary.

After all, this more than 1,000 tons of gold is the capital of Kolchak's comeback.

―――――――――― as the offensive of the Russian Red Army became more and more ferocious, Kolchak's time was getting less and less. Therefore, while in Omsk, Kolchak had already begun to prepare plans for a march to the east.

Fortunately, in order to recruit troops, Kolchak had purchased enough clothing and food from the expeditionary force. In addition, there are some trains in Omsk, which can be used to load more than 1,000 tons of gold and the necessities along the way, so Kolchak's situation is much better now than he was in history.

After all, Kolchak at that time was a real outlaw escape, and the current Kolchak can barely be called a strategic shift or something... It's just that even if it is a strategic shift, it is still a retreat after all, so the actions of the White Army are still very flustered.

Incidentally, although it became more and more evident that Soviet Russia was in control of the whole of Russia, there were still many, many people in Russia who were unwilling to submit to the Bolsheviks.

Therefore, when Kolchak prepared to set out from Omsk, his entourage was accompanied by more than 400,000 White troops, 750,000 exiles who opposed the Bolsheviks and cherished the Tsar, including bishops, monks, and nuns, who accounted for 270,000. In addition, there are more than 200,000 noble ladies and their children.

Of course, the most important of the 1.2 million fugitives was the more than 1,000 tons of gold mixed in the train. As long as he has this gold, even if Kolchak only has a team of tens of thousands of people left in the end, he will be able to make a comeback.

And then... Just as Kolchak thought, Yan Guang had been eyeing his more than a thousand tons of gold since a long time ago, so when he learned that Kolchak was so ignorant, Yan Guang was naturally extremely annoyed.

In fact, Yan Guang really wanted to wait until Kolchak's team entered the control of the expeditionary force, and when they lost all their vigilance, they sent troops to surround Kolchak's team, and then found the more than 1,000 tons of gold he coveted from the team.

As long as there are more than 1,000 tons of gold, not to mention the oceanic fleet, it is not impossible to turn the entire Wehrmacht into motorized and mechanized troops.

But now that Kolchak is so ignorant, it naturally makes Yan Guang's calculation completely fail.

"Looks like we need to find a new way to get this guy's gold..."

Due to financial difficulties, Yan Guang was extremely hungry for Kolchak's more than 1,000 tons of gold.

At this time, Kolchak had already embarked on the road to the Far East.

At this time, Siberia had already entered the second half of November, and the weather had dropped to a low temperature of nearly 20 degrees below zero, which was not uncommon for people living in the European part of Russia, so the people in the fleeing group did not take it very seriously.

However... Just when Kolchak's team arrived in Tomsk, a small city more than 1,000 kilometers east of Omsk, the temperature suddenly plummeted from minus 30 degrees to more than minus 60 degrees... Then... The tragedy began...

(To be continued)
