Kamenev rushed to Ufa in the dust, and he was confidently ready to convince the Social Revolutionaries at the negotiating table with his infallible tongue. But when he had direct contact with Savinkov, he found out that he really put a hot face on his cold ass, and people were not interested in negotiations at all.

"There is a very important premise for the current crisis to be resolved through negotiations!" "That is, you Bolsheviks must disband the illegal armed forces," said Savinkov, "must restore the legitimate authority of the Constituent Assembly, and immediately correct the mistakes made in the Brest Pact." Only by correcting these mistakes will we open the door to peace! ”

Kamenev's attitude towards Savinkov was very unhappy, of course, the real reason for the displeasure was not that the conditions proposed by the man made the stone unacceptable, but that Savinkov did not invite him to sit down, and he was very contemptuous and aggressive. This hurt the stone's pride.

"I don't think so!" Kamenev also began to bargain, "These issues can be discussed on the negotiating table, only by starting negotiations, only by stopping the war, can we solve the problem calmly...... And yelling, like you, won't solve anything! ”

Savinkov actually wants to give Kamenev a dismount, just to occupy a little psychological advantage, to put it bluntly, or to bargain.

He immediately put forward new conditions: "If you want to negotiate, you Bolshevik illegal armed forces must immediately leave Ukraine and withdraw from the Caucasus, and negotiations can begin only after you withdraw your troops!" ”

Kamenev was not completely stupid, and immediately said: "It's okay for us to withdraw our troops, but you must also lay down your arms immediately." Dismiss the so-called volunteer army! ”

"It can't be!"

How could Savinkov agree to such conditions. You're welcome to put it mildly. Like Trotsky's calculations, he intended to negotiate to resolve his current passivity, and if the Red Army could be withdrawn from the lower reaches of the Don, wouldn't it be safe for either the Czech Army or Krasnov? If he can surrender without a fight, his Savinkov's political prestige will definitely rise, and who in the party will dare to blow up with him at that time!

Naturally, people with ghosts and ghosts can't get along, and Kamenev and Savinkov are simply talking about chickens and ducks, after a few days of fighting. Both sides are aware of the fact that it is impossible to convince the other!

As a result, neither of the two had any interest in continuing the conversation, Savinkov simply stopped seeing Kamenev altogether, and Stone left Ufa in a huff after contacting other acquaintances without any results.

"Comrade Kamenev, where are we going? Back to Petrograd? ”

Of course, Kamenev will not just return to Petrograd in such a gloomy manner, and if he goes back like this, he will only be laughed at, and his political career will be fought here, if he cannot bring about peace. He's off cooking.

"To White Kalitva, I'm going to personally do the work of the Czech Legion and Krasnov. I'm sure I'll be able to convince them! ”

Can Kamenev do this? No one is optimistic about him anyway, and the shape on the battlefield is quietly changing. As the main forces of the Red Army gradually arrived on the battlefield, even if the number was not very large, their arrival still injected a boost into Frunze. Seeing hope, he is even more tenacious in holding on to White Kalitva, even if the southern city has been lost, even if Titerikhs is gradually eating away at his last line of defense, but he is still gritting his teeth and holding on.

For Titeririchs, the situation was not very good, although the main forces of the Red Army had not yet fully arrived, but bad signs had already appeared, and there was still no hope in the street fighting of White Kalitva, and if the defenders of Frunze were not completely destroyed, his troops would not be able to flee east with peace of mind.

To the north, a large force of the Red Army had faintly pressed over, and Krasnov, who was blocked on the spot and could not move on the spot, had more than once demanded that he cross the Don River north at once, and after the two armies converged, he would launch a general attack on Bai Kalitva by land.

In this regard, Tetterichs scoffed, what is the benefit of crossing the Don River in the north? His troops south of the Don could at least directly attack White Kalitva, and what about Krasnov? The fool was still blocked out of White Kalitva, blocked by a ridiculous little village.

Taterichs had no interest in helping the fool move the roadblock, and instead demanded that Krasnov immediately cross the Don south and attack White Kalitva with his main force. Of course, Krasnov did not agree, and the cargo felt that it was more dangerous to cross the Don River in the south.

Titerikhs also felt dangerous, and he even thought about withdrawing to Luhansk and returning to Ukraine for development. However, Voroshilov's Red Tenth Army has been jumping up and down like an aphrodisiac in the past few days, constantly harassing and attacking his rear, and I am afraid that even if he retreats, he will not be able to avoid a bloody battle.

To put it figuratively, Jiteririchs is really in a dilemma now, like a mouse in a bellows. In this very difficult situation, Kamenev, who considered himself a savior, rushed to the scene. He first met with Frunze.

"Comrade Mikhail, I was sent by the Central Committee to mediate and resolve the dispute. My task is to bring peaceful means to an end to this needless bloodshed, and I hope that you will actively cooperate with my work......"

Frunze was confused, he had been almost sleepless these days, and he was concentrating on arranging defenses and battle plans, thinking about how to persist and how to completely annihilate the enemy. Why did a bed bug pop up in the blink of an eye? What, Comrade Stone, are you sure you're not talking nonsense? When did the Central Committee decide to compromise with the enemy?

"The cruel reality after the October Revolution has brought the Central Committee back to its senses!" Kamenev said unashamedly, "After a series of defeats, the Central Committee has profoundly realized that it is wrong to carry out the armed struggle of the proletariat when the objective conditions are not ripe, and is now actively correcting the previous mistakes!" ”

God knows how Kamenev came to such a conclusion, anyway, Frunze didn't believe it, the day before yesterday the Central Committee appointed him commander-in-chief of the Southwestern Front, appointed Stalin as the general political commissar, and also issued an emergency battlefield mobilization order, how did it get to your stone mouth, and the Central Committee was ready to change course?

"Do you have an order and a letter of introduction from the central government?" Frunze cheered up. Asked.

Kamenev was still tugging. He was very arrogant and handed Frunze a stack of texts. What are they? That is, when it was time to leave Petrograd. The so-called documents he demanded from Trotsky were a letter of appointment appointing him as a plenipotentiary negotiator, and a relevant note and letter of introduction.

Frunze went back and forth several times, but he did not see the Central Committee's denial of the October Revolution and the line of armed struggle, let alone the request for him to cooperate with Kamenev in his work.

It should be said that the Frunze people are still good, and he saved some face for an old comrade like Kamenev. He just said: "Comrade Kamenev, it is true that the Central Committee has entrusted you to be a negotiator, but other relevant matters have not been explained, and no orders have been issued to me in this regard. Do you think you should go back to Petrograd first, implement the spirit of the Central Committee, and then start your work? ”

When did Kamenev put Frunze in his eyes, he felt that Frunze was not even a member of the Central Committee, and he only deserved to shout slogans behind his ass back then. When did you dare to talk to him like that?

Immediately, the goods were dragged up, and he said very unceremoniously: "Why are you procrastinating as a comrade?" No initiative at all? That's how you did the revolution? I sue you. I am here on behalf of the Central Committee, and I have brought with me the latest instructions of the Central Committee. You have to work with me immediately, immediately and without compromise! ”

Frunze laughed in his heart, and said in his heart: "I just saved face for you, you are good, the dog bites Lu Dongbing and does not know the hearts of good people, but instead points fingers at me." No wonder since the victory of the February Revolution, you have gone all the way downhill, at your level, with your virtue, I bah! ”

Frunze has been choked by military issues these days, and he has long been angry, but now he was unreasonably troubled by Kamenev, and immediately found a channel to vent, and sarcastically said at that time: "Then how are you going to let me cooperate!" ”

Again, when Frunze said this, he was full of sarcasm and ridicule, but I don't know why Kamenev didn't hear it, probably because this second man lived completely in his world, and he couldn't tell the difference between good and bad words.

So this thing thought that Frunze was frightened and was ready to actively cooperate with him in his work, so he suddenly waved his hand with one hand and said very imposingly: "The first thing to do is to stop fighting, and only by stopping fighting can we win peace...... I demand that your troops immediately stop a single qiē military operation! ”

Ahem......

Frunze almost didn't choke to death, he thought Kamenev's nerves were enough or something, but he really didn't expect this thing to say such crazy things. Stop fighting? Nima, Lao Tzu wants to stop the war, the question is whether the White Army agrees? You have to figure out if they are attacking or not!

Kamenev didn't mean to be reasonable at all, and slapped the table: "I don't care who attacks and who defends!" I don't have any interest in this! And now it makes no sense to find out who fired the first shot...... The only way to end this erroneous war is to take the initiative to send a signal of goodwill and peace...... Therefore, it is very meaningful and non-negotiable for us to stop military operations first! ”

Frunze was already dumbfounded, he felt that Kamenev was an out-and-out madman, completely brain-blowing, and he wanted to say to this thing: "What, have you stopped taking medicine recently?" ”

However, as mentioned earlier, Frunze was a very kind person, and he really couldn't say such harsh words, so he had to sigh again and ask: "What if we stop fighting and the White Army takes advantage of the situation to attack?" ”

Kamenev snorted in displeasure and said angrily: "I said it all, we must first do our own thing, and if we don't even do our own thing well, we are not qualified to accuse others...... I would like to emphasize once again, I don't care what the enemy does, I just ask you to stop the military operation immediately! ”

Frunze was just about to speak, but the thing roared and added: "No more nonsense, you just need to carry out my orders and cooperate with me to carry out the work!" That's all you can do at your level! ”

Frunze's kindness does not mean that he can be bullied by others, he can let Kamenev mess around, he is not angry, once it breaks out, it will also be a sea collapse!

"Shut up! It's not your turn to dictate here! Frunze first came a lion's roar, and then followed by a stick: "As the commander-in-chief of the Southwest Front appointed by the central government, you heard me clearly." I'm the only one here who can call the shots...... You want to make peace with the enemy. No problem. Then you go on your own, but my lad will not lay down his arms until the enemy has not stopped military operations. Do you understand? ”

"You...... You ......"

Kamenev was choked by this robbery, and stammered for a long time before he said angrily: "You want to openly disobey the orders of the Central Committee, right?" ”

Frunze glanced at the goods and sneered: "The order given to me by the central government is very clear, annihilate the white bandit army in the lower reaches of the Don River!" If you have any objections to this, you can go to the central government for consultation. I'm sure the Central will be happy to tell you what their true intentions are! And now, please don't get in the way of me here! ”

Kamenev shuddered with rage, "What do you mean by that! ”

Frunze glared at him viciously, and said word by word: "My meaning is very clear, that is, please get out of my headquarters!" ”

When Kamenev was invited out by the guards, he danced and struggled, shouting from time to time: "Mikhail, you bastard!" You don't carry out the orders of the central government! I'll report you, ah, you wait for me! ”

Will Kamenev give up? It's impossible to think about. People like him who are not ashamed will not give up, he will only intensify his perverse activities. After touching the nail here in Frunze. The guy got past Frunze and started looking for Frunze's subordinates, ready to convince them to support his shitty claim.

In this regard, almost all the officers did not give a damn about the goods, and did the same thing, and told him to get out of the way, and Blyukhel in particular reacted the most violently, he directly sent guards to seize the stone, and then called Frunze, demanding that the goods be put on the spot for the crime of disturbing the morale of the army.

Frunze is actually quite speechless, I really don't know what to say about Kamenev's wonder, of course, it is not possible to shoot this goods, although this goods are marginalized, but the old relationship is still there, and I can't explain to the central government if I kill him.

"Get rid of him, just leave him alone!"

It stands to reason that Kamenev should have woken up to this virtue, but this man was still unrelenting and full of fighting spirit, feeling that the officers of the Red Army were all barbarians and warmongers, and that they were too poisoned to be saved, and he actually hit Eberhardt with his head.

This thing probably thinks that Eberhardt is an old officer, and an aristocratic bourgeoisie, and should be better than the Red Army's native leopard officers. So how did Eberhart deal with this cargo? That is, after listening to his nonsense politely, Empress Hou was very happy to send a ship to deliver the cargo to the territory of the White Army on the west bank of the Don River.

The old man said to him at the time: "Mr. Kamenev, I greatly appreciate your efforts for peace, but the reality is that the Czechs and Krasnov broke the peace in the first place, and if you can persuade them to stop military operations, I will immediately respond to your call for an immediate cease!" ”

The old man solemnly patted the shoulder of the goods, and said very sternly: "For the sake of peace in Russia, please work hard for this trip, I believe you will be able to convince them ......" Saying that, the old man still said to the guards very strictly: "Hurry up and prepare the white flag for Mr. Kamenev!" The bullets of the white bandit dog mongrel don't recognize people! ”

Thrown to the west bank of the Don, Kamenev hated Eberhardt to death, and at first he thought that this old man was a good man, but who knew that this old man was simply wilted! Kill him!

Kamenev trembled and struggled through the ruins with a white flag, not to mention the sound of gunfire and explosions, as long as there was any wind and grass, it could scare the goods. Fortunately, he was soon discovered by the White Army, and several fierce White Army soldiers tied him up and sent him to the headquarters of Titerikhs.

"Negotiations?"

Taterichs looked the stone up and down, and at first he thought that the Red Army could not hold out and was ready to surrender. Who would have thought that it turned out to be some shit negotiations?

"How?" Jiteririchs asked.

Kamenev wanted to say that we would sit and talk slowly without the rope, but glancing at Tetrikhs's face, it didn't seem very good-looking, and he didn't know if the Czechs had a tradition of fighting between the two armies, and it was better to be honest for the sake of life safety.

Kamenev struggled to squeeze out a smile and said, "You can talk as much as you want." However, my advice is that we both stop military operations for a while, and then ......"

Then before the latter words were spoken, Jiterihes became angry first, slapped the table and said angrily: "Then Lao Tzu was surrounded by you, then it's a fart!" ”

Kamenev laughed dryly and said cautiously: "If you are not satisfied with this plan, then we can also talk while fighting, although I don't appreciate this approach, but as long as you can start negotiations, isn't it a good start?" ”

Titeririchs snorted, and suspiciously gave Kamenev a lot of suspicion again, he was a little confused about the intentions of the Red Army, did the other side really want to negotiate, not a delaying tactic?

After thinking about it, he suddenly said in his heart: "It's okay to negotiate, your troops will first withdraw from the line of White Kalitva, and after our two sides disengage from military contact, it will not be too late to negotiate!" ”

Kamenev did not know what kind of idea Titeririchs was playing, he was naïve enough to think that it was a good idea, and with great excitement he crossed the Don again, ready to go to Frunze to inform Frunze of the great news...... (To be continued......)

PS: Bow and thank you for the second kill potato and Comrade Juventus!
