Kasnov casually adjourned the meeting with a few perfunctory remarks. He knew that with these political commissars here, he could only come up with a meeting resolution in the end, and that was to persist in fighting. Otherwise, any other approach would have been rejected and arrested for a counter-revolutionary charge.

In the afternoon, Kasnov went to inspect the troops. This time, in the grassroots units below, he secretly summoned the commanders of several infantry corps and the commanders of infantry divisions. The people he summoned were military chiefs, not political commissars.

"Comrades, now there is no interference from those political commissars. Everybody talks, what should we do? Kasnov said.

"Comrade commander, the Chinese are too tough. It was a mistake for us to go to war with them this time. After the failure of the attack on Bled, we should retreat. However, Comrade Voroshilov's request for retreat was rejected. This is clearly to send all of us to death! A young infantry division commander said excitedly.

The other generals all nodded their heads one after another, and many things they wanted to say were also what they wanted to say. But they didn't dare to say it. Now, someone said it, and it immediately resonated with them.

"Comrade Commander, our back road has been cut off, and there is not much food and ammunition left. The Chinese air force is still bombing us, and their artillery is constantly firing. If we hold on any longer, even if we are not beaten to death by the Chinese, we will starve to death. For the sake of the lives of the soldiers, let's simply surrender. The commander of an infantry corps said.

"Surrender? What about our family? If we surrender, our families will surely be implicated. At worst, they will be sent to a labor camp or mine, or they will be shot directly! "There are people who are very worried.

"If we die, our families won't have a good life. It's better to surrender now. If one day Soviet Russia can be destroyed, then save your family. If our family is killed, then. There is only one purpose for us to live. That is to avenge them. "Some generals are more radical in their thinking.

All eyes were on Kasnoff, waiting for him to make a final decision.

Kasnov took a deep puff of his cigarette, and then threw the cigarette butt to the ground fiercely: "Since the Bolsheviks do not care about our life and death, then naturally there is no need for us to die for them anymore." Soviet Russia was originally a state that was established after the overthrow of the rule of the Russian Empire, and it was a traitor. We can join the Russian Empire. Kuang supported the Russian Empire. When the Russian Empire collapses Soviet Russia, then we will all be heroes of the state. As for our families, we will naturally do our best to save them. If there is really no way, then you can only give up. It's just a matter of finding a way to avenge them later. In the future, it will not be difficult for us to remarry and have children. ”

The other generals all nodded their heads again and again, and Kasnov's words obviously spoke to their hearts.

"Comrade Commander. If we are going to surrender, we have to arrest the political commissars. Otherwise, with them, we would have been killed before we succeeded. A general said.

"Well, tonight I will gather all the officers and political commissars under the pretext of discussing a breakout. When the time comes, arrest all those guys, and then send people to negotiate with the Chinese. Kasnov said.

After these generals agreed. Immediately took action.

In the evening of the same day, Kasnov convened a military meeting. Discuss how to do your best to break through. Not only the military chiefs of the ministries attended the meeting, but also the political commissars at and above the regimental level. It's just that as soon as the meeting began, Kasnov turned his face and directly ordered the guards to arrest all the political commissars.

Suddenly, those political commissars were stunned. They didn't even realize what was going on. You must know that in the Red Army of Soviet Russia, the status of the political commissar was very high. Several times he was the military commander of the unit, and he had no right to punish them.

"Comrade Kasnov, what are you doing here?" The political commissar of the group army said angrily.

"Humph!" Kasnov didn't say much. Just snorted coldly and asked the guards to take these political commissars away.

"Bastard, you betrayed the great Bolshevik Party, betrayed Soviet Russia. You traitor, aren't you afraid of being punished? Your family will also be implicated by this. Comrades, do not be deceived by this traitor, if you arrest this traitor, I promise that the Party Central Committee will not be blamed for the past. The political commissar of the army group shouted loudly.

However, those guards were unmoved. They are all Kasnov's henchmen, how could they betray at this time? What's more, they also want to live. And Kasnov's approach undoubtedly gave them a way out.

All the ****** members were arrested and imprisoned. Wait until you reach an agreement with the Chinese side to decide what to do with these guys. Perhaps, these political commissars could be given as a welcome gift to the Chinese* army or the Tsarist army. The Tsarist army, in particular, probably hated these political commissars to the extreme.

Immediately after the arrest of these political commissars, Kasnov sent a confidant general to meet with the Chinese* army, hoping to surrender to the front.

The willingness of the army led by Kasnov to surrender made the Imperial Army very satisfied. Originally, the Imperial Army was struggling with how to eat these Russian Red Army in one bite. Well, now, if the Russian Red Army is willing to surrender, then the pressure on the Imperial Army will undoubtedly be much less. A lot of troops can be saved and used to deal with those diehards.

Kasnov, although a little arrogant, is not a person who does not know the severity. He knew that now he was no longer qualified to ask for a sky-high price. Therefore, the conditions put forward by his representative are also very realistic.

After Kasnov demanded that the safety of the lives and property of all officers and men of his unit be guaranteed. Especially for the safety of life, he was afraid that the Russian Empire would vent its hatred with these defective Red officers and soldiers. Secondly, the army of the surrender should join the army of the Russian Empire, and all treatment should be compared with the army of the Russian Empire, and all treatment should be treated equally. Kasnov and his men could swear allegiance to Empress Anastasia and even engage in the battle against the Russian Red Army.

Kasnov's request is indeed not excessive. However, this is not Admiral Jiang Baili alone. He was required to report to the Imperial General Staff, as well as to communicate with the Russian Empire. After all, these Soviet Red Army defections were followed by the army that joined the Russian Empire. Whether to accept it or not depends on the meaning of the Russian Empire.

On the part of the Imperial General Staff, there was no objection to Kasnov's request. They wished that more Soviet and Russian Red Army would defect. In this way, the combat power of the Russian Red Army will be further weakened. It was also easier for the Imperial Army to win the final victory.

The Russian Empire, on the other hand, was also willing to accept these defective Soviet Russian Red Army. After all, although the Tsarist Russian army withstood the attack of the troops of the Northern and Central Fronts of the Soviet Russian Red Army, the huge losses already made them miserable. At the same time, they also hoped that the military strength of the Russian Empire would become stronger, so that in the future they could defeat the Russian Red Army and restore the legitimacy of the Russian Empire.

Therefore, the Empress Anastasia of the Russian Empire and the Prime Minister Kolchak both welcomed the surrender of the Soviet Russian Red Army. They hoped that, with these people as an example, more and more Soviet and Russian Red Army would surrender to them. In the future, they will definitely be able to defeat the Russian Red Army and restore the glory of the Russian Empire.

After receiving affirmative answers from the Chinese Empire and the Russian Empire, the hearts of Kasnov and his subordinates that had been hanging in the air could finally be put back in their stomachs. They reached an agreement with the Chinese Empire in the shortest possible time, so as not to have long nights and dreams.

On the morning of May 13, 4618 (20), Kasnov, commander of the 7th Army of the Russian Red Army, led the remnants of the 7th Army of more than 30,000 people and surrendered to the Imperial Army. The commander of the 12th Army of the Imperial Army, on behalf of the Imperial Army, accepted the surrender of Kasnov and the entire 7th Army.

According to the agreement between the two sides, the troops of the 7th Army of the Russian Red Army will go to the Western Siberian Plain for repairs. When the war was over, qualified soldiers from the captives would be selected to replenish Kasnov's troops. Kasnov's troops will also be reorganized into the 5th Army of the Russian Imperial Army, and Kasnov will be promoted to general commander.

The surrender of the 7th Army of the Russian Red Army caused an uproar among the Soviet Russian Red Army at the front. In particular, the officers and men of the 7th Army who surrendered to Cheng were treated well, which made the other troops in the encirclement even more worried.

In the coming days, there was a mass surrender of the Russian Red Army. Many of the troops even surrendered to the Imperial Army in formations and in companies. They also had only two demands, one was to guarantee the safety of their lives and property, and the other was to be able to join the Imperial Russian Army.

For these surrenders of the Soviet Russian Red Army, both the Chinese Empire and the Russian Empire welcomed them very much. Their accession has directly brought about a fundamental change in the balance of forces between the two sides. The Imperial Army's original disadvantage in strength was leveled step by step. The encirclement of the Soviet Russian Red Army is also getting closer and closer. In addition, the Russian Red Army was panicked, and its will to resist became weaker and weaker. All this was beneficial to the final victory of the Imperial Army. (To be continued.) )
