Make France Great Again

After the news that General Pelissier led the British and French troops to occupy the south bank of Sevastopol was conveyed to the coalition headquarters on the north bank of Sevastopol via cavalry, the commanders on the north bank of Sevastopol showed surprise on their faces. expression.

In the plan of the Allied Forces Command, after arriving at the south bank of Sevastopol, the British and French joint combat forces should not immediately march to the south bank of Sevastopol. Instead, they should assume the posture of marching to the south bank and let Sevastopol The Russian Empire on the south bank of the country had to deploy part of its troops to defend General Pelissier.

This can reduce the burden on General Trochu, and the British and French forces near Malakhov Castle only need to wait quietly for the artillery to arrive before they can take the next step.

Who knew that General Pellissier was a guy who didn't pay attention to siege tactics (the French army after the Napoleonic Wars liked siege tactics the most). As soon as he arrived at Pellissier near Malachov Castle, he gave Sevas the back foot. A "black hand" came from the south bank of Topol.

The British and French forces with strong morale used the "human sea tactic" to scare off the demoralized Russian Empire and occupied Malakhov Fort, and then took advantage of the situation to occupy the south bank of Sevastopol.

"Quick! Send someone to Constantinople immediately... No! I want to go to Constantinople in person to ask for credit for General Pelissier!"

Marshal Saint-Arnaud, who recovered from his surprise, responded excitedly to Jerome Patterson beside him.

If there is anyone present who cares most about General Pellissier, it must be Marshal Saint-Arnaud.

Since Pelissier served as the acting commander-in-chief of the coalition forces, the posthumous name of Marshal Saint-Arnaud has been closely tied to General Pelissier.

Just like Hindenburg and Ludendorff during World War I, the success of General Pelissier was the success of Marshal Saint-Arnault, and conversely the failure of General Pelissier was the failure of Marshal Saint-Arnault.

For Marshal Saint-Arnault, who was about to become terminally ill, General Pellissier was his life-saving straw to preserve his posthumous reputation.

As long as General Pelissier captured Sevastopol before his death, Saint Arnaud would be able to take credit for the capture of Sevastopol.

Although this credit is somewhat insignificant compared to the marshals of the Napoleonic period, compared with the French generals of the same period as Marshal Saint-Arnault, Marshal Saint-Arnault's credit is far behind them.

Even Marshal Biro, who completely conquered Algeria, cannot be compared with Marshal Saint-Arnaud!

Even if the subsequent battles produced a more brilliant record than Sevastopol, it would not be able to shake his position.

Unless the coalition forces capture St. Petersburg and Moscow, only in this way can the glory of Marshal St. Arnaud be overshadowed.

Even if the British and French forces really captured the heart of the Russian Empire, Saint-Arnaud believed that he would still be the object of imperial propaganda after his death.

According to Marshal Saint-Arnaud's understanding of His Majesty the Emperor, one of the things His Majesty the Emperor liked to do most was to add a series of honors to the dead to set off his own majesty.

Even if His Majesty the Emperor treats the marshals of the First Empire like this, the posthumous honor of the Marshal of the Second Empire who was personally excavated by His Majesty will certainly not be inferior to that of the Marshal of the First Empire.

Of course, the premise of all this is that General Pellissier does not dismantle him. It is true that Marshal Saint-Arnaud himself has a holy family, but the old General Pellissier is also the emperor's confidant.

If General Pellissier was not a close confidant of the emperor, the emperor would definitely not hand over the "Périssier" to General Pellissier.

Not to mention that now Pelissier has won the battles of Alma and Sevastopol. After the two wars, General Pelissier's weight in the emperor's mind is probably more important than before.

Marshal Saint-Arnaud could deceive the French that the Battle of Sevastopol was a battle he commanded, but he could not deceive the Emperor of Paris.

Pellissier's attitude determined the key to whether Marshal Saint-Arnaud could receive the honor after his death.

Therefore, Marshal Saint Arnaud was willing to go to Constantinople in person to work for General Pelissier.

According to the previous agreement between Pellissier and Marshal Saint-Arnault, after the capture of the Sevastopol Fortress, Marshal Saint-Arnault took the name and General Pellissier took the profits.

Now that the Sevastopol Fortress has been captured, Marshal Saint-Arnaud must let Pelissier see his attitude.

Jérôme Patterson, who was standing next to Marshal Saint-Arnaud, obviously did not know what was going on between Marshal Saint-Arnaud and Pelissier. He said to Marshal Saint-Arnaud with a worried look on his face: "But ...Marshal, your body!”

"Cough...cough!" Marshal Saint-Arnaud cleared his throat, with a relieved smile on his lips and said: "I know my body well, I'm afraid I won't be able to support it for much longer...Actually, I've been in such a bad state since then After I fainted once, I have been in poor condition! But in order to prevent the whole army from wavering, I have been holding on... Now, this battle is over! I finally don’t have to relax! "

After saying these words, Marshal Saint-Arnaud was like a deflated balloon, his smile became very forced and revealed a sense of weakness.

Looking at the French commander in front of him, Commander Raglan felt a sense of sadness in his heart.

You must know that Marshal St. Arnaud, who was born in 1798, is only 56 years old until now, and Commander Raglan himself is already 64 years old.

The current Marshal Saint Arnaud was completely different from the Saint Arnaud he saw in the Varna area. How could this not make him sad?

"Arnault, we have won! You can relax for a while!" Commander Raglan tried to comfort Marshal St. Arnault and said: "Constantinople is indeed a good place to recuperate. You can go and recuperate first. In a few days, after our troops set off again, you can return to Sevastopol to command the battle!"

"Yes!" La Maramore also echoed the compliment: "Who among us doesn't admire your command! The coalition forces still need to be commanded by you!"

"That's right!" Omar Pasha also nodded in response.

"Thank you for your support!" Saint Arnaud smiled and said something he didn't even want to believe: "I will recover from my injuries as soon as possible, and then return here to fight alongside you!"

"We are waiting for your return in Sevastopol!" Commander Raglan replied to Marshal St. Arnaud with a heavy heart.

"Yes!" Marshal Saint-Arnault nodded slightly while panting, then turned his gaze to Jerome Patterson and said in a hurry: "Captain Jerome!"

"Yes!" Jerome Patterson, who was deeply affected by the heavy atmosphere in front of him, replied in a low tone.

"Cheer up!" Marshal Saint-Arnaud said sternly to Jerome Patterson: "The blood of the Bonaparte family flows in your body!"

"Yes!" Jerome Patterson replied loudly.

"Very good!" Marshal Saint-Arnaud nodded with satisfaction, "Listen! While I am going to Constantinople to recuperate, General Pelissier, commander of the Guards Division, will take over all my positions and take charge of the French Expeditionary Force. , everyone in the French army must obey General Pellissier’s instructions! Do you understand?”

"I understand!" Jerome Patterson replied loudly.

"Very good!" Marshal Saint-Arnault breathed a sigh of relief, waved his hand and said, "You should convey this news to the French army immediately!"

"Yes!" Jerome Patterson saluted Marshal St. Arnaud and left the coalition headquarters.

Looking at Jérôme Patterson walking away, Marshal Saint-Arnaud showed a relieved smile. He turned his head and looked at the three commanders in front of him again and said sincerely: "Commander Raglan, Maramore Commander, Commander Omar, I hope that after I leave, you can cooperate with General Pelissier as much as possible! To be honest, General Pelissier is much more capable than me!"

"Don't worry! We will definitely cooperate with General Pellissier's actions!" Commander Raglan replied to Marshal Saint-Arnaud: "After all, who can refuse a general who will lead us to victory!"

"Yes!" La Maramore also replied: "General Pelissier's achievements are obvious to all of us!"

"That's right!" Omar Pasha also nodded and replied.

"I'm causing you trouble!" Marshal Saint-Arnaud saluted the three commanders present, and the three commanders immediately saluted to Marshal Saint-Arnaud.

In the afternoon of the same day, Marshal Saint-Arnaud, commander of the French Expeditionary Force, arrived in a carriage on the south bank of Sevastopol.

At this time, Pelissier was finishing the finishing work on the south bank of Sevastopol. The arrival of Marshal Saint-Arnaud forced General Pelissier to stop what he was doing and follow Marshal Saint-Arnaud.

"Thank you for your hard work!" Looking at the intact city in front of him, looking for the book garden www.zhaoshuyuan.com Marshal Saint-Arnault said to him while holding Pellissier's hand.

"Nothing!" Pelissier shook his head in response, and then asked with concern: "Your Excellency, Commander, your body..."

"It's no longer possible!" Marshal Saint-Arnault sighed, and responded to General Pellissier with earnest eyes: "Promise me! We must win! Only victory can make our name in history!"

Under Saint Arnaud's hopeful gaze, General Pellissier murmured, wanting to say something, but in the end, he still did not say it.

In the end, Pellissier only solemnly saluted Marshal Saint-Arnaud.

Marshal Saint-Arnaud also returned the salute to Pellissier with a serious expression.
