General Vlasov was now the commander of the New Imperial Russian Army. While the allies were withdrawing they had allowed hin to recruit and train an army. However, the new Imperial Russian Army had only 6 combat trained divisions. these troops had fought as a unit against the communist. There were also another 6-9 divisions that had had some experience in fighting the communist but many more had at one time served in the Red army or were recruits to the new army.

Vlasov was running out of time the old Red Army units that had fought the Japanese were beginning to fall apart now that word od the collapse of the communist government and the Death of Stalin had reached them. He had to send some of his regulars to the East and now that the Allied Commission had granted its approval he would quickly move to recruit the 16 divisions that were needed in the east to maintain order and to roll the Japanese back.

Luckily he had the new weapons that were going to go to the Red Army to equip his new Imperiial Russian Army. That meant some of the new T-34 tanks. He was going to need luck and time to train his army to retake the lands lost to the Japanese.
