Chapter 2537： Talk about (1/2)
”After the first batch of equipment we purchased is in place, we will use actual actions to prove that your country's decision is correct, and your country can send observers. Our counterattack will be launched soon.” Denikin said.
”It seems that we have reached the most basic agreement.” For Denikin's answer, Calypte was quite satisfied. At this stage, the Allies will not allow Denikin to enter their territory, so no matter whether Denikin is willing to fight or not, Budjoni on the opposite side will definitely do it anyway. As long as Budjoni discovers that the Allies are beginning to deliver a large amount of equipment to Denikin, he will definitely initiate an offensive. After all, if you delay, the opponent will be stronger.
”This is the first and second batch of materials and equipment we need.” Denikin sent a list to Caliput.
”Look at it.” Calipt took a look at the supplies and list Denikin needed, and then handed the document to von Seckert.
”A lot of light artillery, machine guns, and horses. To be honest, I was surprised to see these horses. Horses are not cheap.” Von Sekt said after a glance.
”But this is necessary. We can't keep passively defending. We have to attack. The opponent has a huge military advantage, and if we want to win, we must use the mobile advantage. We cannot build the same country as yours. Fast armored forces, so we can only use cavalry.” Denikin said.
”But horses are in short supply, and horses actually require very high logistical supplies. Horses consume very high food and forage. Are you sure that you can afford it now? It's not just a question of funding.” Von Seckert said, after all, Denikin still has 300 tons of gold. To put it bluntly, the money is enough to be squandered. The real question is whether he has enough veterinarians, grooms, and logistics personnel to form a cavalry unit after these horses are given to Denikin. Don’t think he has 180,000 civilians, but at least half of them are nobles. , Capitalists, scholars, and their families, the labor and personnel available to them are actually not much.
”So, the third issue needs to be discussed here. We need to recruit people from Ukraine who are willing to fight for us,” Denikin said.
”Ukraine is an independent country after all, and we respect their sovereignty, so we can't answer you on this point. But we will give you the horses you need.” Von Sekt said.
”Then what about the Russian soldiers captured by your country on the battlefield? We can redeem them.” Denikin asked again.
”Sorry, quite a few of them have decided to live in Germany or Austria-Hungary. They have become workers, farmers, or run some industries. They are already legal citizens of the two countries, so you still don't want to make similar conditions. ”Calipte said.
