When he got Paplov's call back, Kolchak was also stunned for a moment, not sure whether to agree to this condition, after all, if they really put down their weapons and enter the Chinese's control area, then they would be slaughtered.

However, if you don't lay down your arms...

How to say it...

Historically, there were more than a million Russians who followed Kolchak into Siberia, but in addition to Kazan and Ufa, Kolchak's historical holdings also included Yekaterinburg and several other cities in Siberia.

At that time, Kolchak chose to evacuate because Soviet Russia had already hit Tobolsk in Siberia, not just Ufa―――――― Tobolsk is probably in Tyumen, Russia today, and the most famous Tyumen is undoubtedly the Tyumen oil field.

However, even at this time, Kolchak did not have Siberia in his hands, and the number of Russian residents who might be evacuated with him would still be as high as millions. More than a million figures, considering that there will be more than 100,000 troops and other people carrying weapons, the Chinese government requires them to hand over their weapons first, which is indeed a reasonable condition, after all, if these people are allowed to enter Siberia with weapons, if something happens to them, it will not be easy to clean up...

In this way, Cai's request naturally becomes reasonable.

It's just that Kolchak also had his own concerns, that is, all those who entered Siberia had to hand over their weapons. Then if the Chinese discover the secret of gold, they can only be slaughtered ...

So after hesitating for a while. Kolchak sent a telegram to Pavlov asking if it was possible to change this condition, after all. It is tantamount to putting one's own safety in the hands of others―――――― and the person himself is not very safe.

After receiving Kolchak's telegram, Pavlov couldn't help but smile bitterly.

He also knew that it would be difficult for Kolchak to agree to this condition, so he had been working hard all this time, but it was just ......... If there was any progress, he would have already reported the situation to Ufa, so why wait until now?

But since Kolchak had sent a telegram, he naturally had to work harder.

However, when he arrived at Cai's office. Cai also made it very clear that it is impossible for a sovereign country to allow the armed forces of other countries to travel through its own territory while possessing weapons―――――― and it is natural that there are exceptions to joint military exercises. But it is obviously not a joint military exercise at the moment, not to mention that the number of Russians entering Siberia this time is inevitably too large.

Seeing that Cai Ye didn't think about it, he rejected his suggestion, and Pavlov smiled bitterly.

He really wanted to sue Sù Cai Yi. Russia has not yet recognized China's control over Siberia and other regions. It has never been recognized as Chinese territory. It's just that at the moment, after all, they are in a situation where they are asking for each other, but these words are unspeakable.

In the end, in desperation, Pavlov had no choice but to leave.

Looking at the departing Pavlov, a hint of apology flashed in Cai's eyes.

Let more than 100,000 Russian troops enter the Urals with weapons? This is absolutely impossible, although neither Yan Shaoyi nor Cai Yi intend to 'make a big move' in the process of seizing the gold, but no one dares to guarantee that there will be no accidents in the plan, and at that time the more than 100,000 Russian troops will be a trouble.

So the first thing to do is to cut off the arms of these Russians. Only then can these Russians be left to their disposal.

Just do it. After all, some...

That's why when he looked at Paplov, Cai Ye felt a little apologetic...

As for whether the other party will agree, this Cai Ye is not worried at all, because they have no second way to choose. Unless they want to be wiped out, they can only follow the path that Yan Shao has chosen for them...

――――――――――――――――――――――

There was no outer line of defense, and Kolchak was inspecting the situation at the front line in one of the forward headquarters.

After a long and fierce battle, the White Army had lost part of the outer line of defense. Fortunately, most of the positions are still in the hands of the White Army, which also gives the White Army the confidence that it can hold on for at least three months―――――― not to mention that in addition to the positional warfare on the periphery, there are also street battles and other methods.

After all, if it really comes to that point, the cold winter will follow.

If winter comes, it will be difficult for the White Army in Ufa, but it will be even more difficult for the Soviet Army. After all, a harsh winter can be a great difficulty for the attacker, both in terms of combat and logistics, and conversely, it is easier to defend as a defender.

Although he was an admiral, Kolchak understood this truth very well, but Kolchak did not even have any confidence in whether he could win. After all, in addition to the hundreds of thousands of Soviet troops outside Ufa now, in other parts of Russia, there are at least more than 3 million Soviet troops, and this number is likely to rise next year―――――― no one knows why there are so many Soviet troops, let alone why the size of the Soviet army will expand so fast, and where their weapons and equipment come from, but in fact, he is indeed so strong, and his power is becoming more and more huge...

It can be said that in addition to the Soviet army on the outskirts of Ufa at present, the Soviet army has a lot of reinforcements in the rear, and if the battle situation becomes unfavorable, a large number of troops can be quickly transferred to support.

But what about them? But there is no more than half of the reinforcements, and the current more than 100,000 people, it cannot be said that one is less than one, in fact, it is almost the same.

――――――――――――――――――――

The people in the command headquarters naturally did not know what Kolchak was thinking, and at this time they were busy with the battle on the front line, especially in terms of command. Perhaps because of the long stalemate, even Soviet Russia was a little anxious. So in recent days the Soviet offensive has been very fierce.

The officers in the headquarters were busy, leaving Kolchak alone to stand at the window, ostensibly observing the battle situation with a telescope, but in fact thinking about the current situation in his heart. Suddenly, there was a sharp whistling sound in the sky above the command headquarters.

Hearing this voice, the officers in the command headquarters were stunned for a moment, and then their faces changed greatly.

Having been on the battlefield for a long time, they naturally knew what this sound really meant. One of the officers shouted 'Lie down', and the others fell to the ground, but before Kolchak's guards could pounce on him.

The people in charge of Kolchak's security were veterans. Naturally, it is clear that this sound represents a cannonball.

Fortunately, the shells did not fall on them in the end, and when Kolchak got up from the ground with the help of several other guards, he saw that he was more than ten meters away from the headquarters. There is a pit that is not very big, kicking up billowing dust and smoke...

"75mm caliber shells...", standing beside Kolchak, one of the guards said with some rejoicing.

It's no wonder that he is so happy, after all, the power of 75mm guns, whether it is field artillery or mountain artillery, is not great. As long as it is not a direct hit. If you hide in a trench, even if you are only two or three meters away, I am afraid that there may not be any major problems―――――― of course, it is not comfortable.

But if it is replaced by a 150mm caliber heavy gun, at a distance of ten meters, they have almost no chance of surviving, even if they are not directly hit.

No way, don't look at the 75mm and 150mm guns that are only twice as different in caliber, but in the weight of the shells ...

Let's put it this way. A German-made 1908 Krupp 75mm mountain gun weighs only 5 kilograms, while a 1917 150mm heavy field howitzer weighs almost 45 kilograms. The difference between the two may be only two cups in diameter, but the difference in weight is almost nine times.

As for the 210mm heavy howitzer with a larger caliber, the shell weight of the German 1916 210mm heavy howitzer has reached the point of 120 kg, which is amazingly powerful.

It can only be said that it is indeed a caliber that crushes people to death, of course, in addition to caliber, there are many places to consider in artillery. For example, the length of the barrel, that is, the double diameter, after all, this is related to the range of the gun, in addition to its own weight, which is related to the ability to maneuver, in addition to the accuracy of the gun, the speed of reloading, etc...

"Sure enough, it's time to think about it..."

Just when Kolchak was thinking this, a number of shells fell on the positions of the White Army, causing considerable casualties to the White Army.

"It seems that it is not very safe here...", the general in charge of commanding this position said softly as he walked to Kolchak's side. Your Excellency, you better go down first, and leave it to us here..."

Despite repeated defeats, Kolchak was still very prestigious among these soldiers.

And hearing his words, Kolchak shook his head. "You're going to get busy with yours first, I'll have to watch for a while..."

With that, Kolchak looked out of the command again.

"Yes!"

Saying this, the officers nodded and began to bust themselves―――――― the current battle situation was tense, and they didn't have much effort to waste on Kolchak's body.

As for Kolchak, he stood on the edge of the command and observed for a while, then turned away. It's not surprising that as soon as his subordinates here asked him to leave, he left, how faceless? It's also easy to give people the image of a coward, in contrast, stay for a while before leaving, although there are some ......... But at least it's much stronger than going straight ahead, isn't it?

――――――――――――――――――――――

After leaving the headquarters, Kolchak and his lieutenant returned to Ufa in an off-road vehicle purchased from China, and had just returned to his office when Kolchak said to his adjutant. "Give the Prime Minister a call and ask him to put down what he is doing and come to me first."

"Yes!"

Saluting Kolchak, the adjutant turned and left the office.

As for Kolchak, he was admiring the scenery outside the window. It is said that it is a landscape, but in fact, it is better to say that it is a war, and now the war is spreading in Ufa. Although it was not possible to break through the outer defenses of Ufa and spread the flames of war to the city for a while, almost everyone knew it. If they can't repel the Soviet forces on the periphery, then it's almost inevitable that the flames of war will reach the city...

And what he admires now is a city that has not been destroyed by the war...

Perhaps even Kolchak himself knew that it would not be long before this qiē in the city would cease to exist, under the artillery fire of Soviet Russia...

And how much time is left in the city in front of me, I'm afraid no one knows...

It was at this time. There was a sudden knock at the door, and Kolchak, who had come to his senses, said to come in, and then Pepelyaev walked in through the door.

"You're looking for me?"

"yes," Kolchak nodded. I decided. Agree to Chinese conditions, but ......... My guards must keep their weapons! ”

This is not only for his personal dignity, but also for the safety of the gold. After all, nothing else can be without weapons and equipment, anyway, after entering Siberia. Even if they are twice as strong. Nor can it be an opponent of the Chinese. But gold is different, and the people who guard it must have weapons, and only in this way can the gold be safe.

As for whether the Chinese will agree? This Kolchak has not been worried.

After all, this is not too much, and even when the head of state travels to other countries, his entourage carries weapons. Don't you see that when Yan Shao and Wilson went to France to attend the Paris Peace Conference, they even went on battleships?

Compared to that, it can only be regarded as a small scene at the moment. Not to mention that although the current Kolchak wolf bèi unbearable. But he is a real consul of the provisional government, and he can be regarded as the leader of a country...

"Understood..."Seeing that Kolchak seemed to have recognized the reality. Pepelyaev's face also showed a hint of joy. "I'll go and contact the Chinese, and tell them about this condition..." After saying that, Pepelyaev turned around, intending to leave from Kolchak, and then informed Pavlov of the news as far away as Yekaterinburg.

As the prime minister of the provisional government, he naturally sees the situation of the provisional government clearly, and he also understands that there is no way out for them to continue to stay here. Although he was not afraid of death, he ......... If they can't die, how many people are willing to die?

It's just that in the past, Kolchak has been unwilling to give up hope, and the conditions on the Chinese side made him hesitate, and now Kolchak finally recognizes the reality, although this reality makes Pepelyaev feel a little sad, but for others it is correct...

But before he could actually leave, he heard Kolchak speak behind him. "Wait, wait..."

Hearing Kolchak say this, Pepelyaev turned his head and glanced back at Kolchak, feeling a little puzzled in his heart. "What's wrong?"

"Nothing, it's just—" said Kolchak after a deep groan, and continued. When contacting the Chinese, tell them that when we withdraw from Ufa, we will likely be pursued by Soviet Russia, so I hope they can send some troops to meet us into Siberia..."

This is also what he is most worried about, after all, in the process of evacuating Ufa, Soviet Russia will definitely pursue. Although they themselves may not be unable to stop the pursuers, but in that case the casualties will definitely be not small, if the Chinese can come forward to help at this time...

Kolchak didn't think that the Chinese would be unwilling, after all, he only sent troops to respond, not to send troops to Ufa to help fight. The latter may be suspicious of Britain and France, and even Kolchak himself, but the former will not...

"Okay!" Hearing Kolchak's request, Pepelyaev hesitated for a moment, then nodded. "I'll do it...", he turned again, but this time, Kolchak didn't stop him...

Kolchak, on the other hand, after Pepelyaev left, made a phone call to the other departments and began to prepare for the evacuation. Evacuation is not a simple matter after all, it always requires multiple preparations...

At the same time, after receiving Pepelyaev's telegram, Pavlov was also overjoyed. Because Kolchak's nod already means the disappearance of the last layer of obstacles. Now as long as the Chinese nod on the issue of guarding, the rest will naturally be solved.

Pavlov was not at all worried about this, after all, this is simply a matter of details.

This is indeed the case, when he learned that the Russians intended to agree to the Chinese's demands, just asking the guards to keep some weapons, Cai Cheng pondered for a while, and personally agreed, but the matter still needs to be contempted to Beijing.

As for the answer...

"I can't give you any answer to this yet, I still need to ask Beijing for instructions first, and I ask you to understand..." said to Pavlov, and then Cai Ye sent a telegram to Beijing.

After receiving an answer from Beijing, Cai Ye groaned for a moment and called Pavlov to his office.

"Beijing has agreed to your country's request, your country can now withdraw all personnel into the Ural Province, armed personnel, our country can let your country retain a maximum of 500 guards, as for the matter of receiving ..."Pursing his lips, Cai Ye continued. Please also ask your country to build more airports not far from Yekaterinburg and Ufa, and make them more spacious..."

After receiving Cai Yi's answer, Kolchak and the others were naturally happy, but the requirements for that airport were a little inexplicable. But then they built several large-scale airfields not far from Yekaterinburg and Ufa according to Cai Yi's request, and then...

A large number of planes, falling from the sky! (To be continued......)
