November 16, Ekaterinburg Fortress, Summer Palace.
At this moment, a strategic meeting was being held in the Summer Palace, with Grand Patriarch Belinsky and several important bishops in attendance.
Marshal Semyon, who had been sent to serve as a commander in the Western Front Army, had also rushed from the High Command to participate in the meeting.
However, since he was no longer in office at the High Command or the Ministry of Defense, his seat was closer to the edge of the room.
Marshal Boris was explaining the current situation, "The enemy has occupied most of Karanskaya, but the good news is, they have not yet cleared up the scattered Imperial Guard troops within the city. We surmise that the enemy is running out of steam.
"Between us and Karanskaya, there is still a ten-kilometer fortified zone, and a large number of Guardian Army and provisional troops.
