The mentality of a veteran like Duke Mikhail must be completely different from that of Leonid. He would never go to war with his passion alone, nor would he think that his opponent was really just a group of intimidates and he would be defeated.

Although Turkey’s performance in recent wars has not been very good, it is indeed like a dough that can be handled at will, but Duke Mikhail still knows that it is not easy to win, especially when Turkey is committed to defending. The tough battle now makes him big head in retrospect.

It is not uncommon for a bastion to hold on for a few months, and even the repeated tug-of-war for half a year and a year is normal.

If there is no intervention from other countries, it will be no problem for Russia and Turkey to practice alone, so slowly grinding the Turks to death. But this time Duke Mikhail knew that it was completely different. The external pressure on Russia had never been so great. Britain and France were on the opposing side. Even the allies hesitated and did not give a quasi-trust, but a little support. Mean nothing.

This made him have to consider the possibility of Britain and France joining the war. Although he didn’t think this possibility was particularly great, who can tell the current international situation?

Even if Britain and France did not directly join the war, even if it indirectly gave Turkey blood transfusions, it would make Russia uncomfortable. After all, Russia must not be consumed by Turkey supported by Britain and France.

Therefore, as the actual coach, he must consider all relevant factors, formulate relevant countermeasures, and must be able to manage to deal with even the worst situation.

This includes what should happen after Britain and France declare war on Russia and intervene in the war?

The staff of Duke Mikhail has conducted many war games or assignments on this possibility.

His staff members agreed that if Britain and France really intervene in the war, it will also be limited intervention. The most likely way is to send a navy to help Turkey fight.

Including the fight for sea dominance in the Black Sea, as well as blockade and shelling of Russian military installations along the Black Sea.

As for directly sending an expeditionary force to the Balkans to fight, this possibility is considered too small by the staff, because the cost is too high, and it may lead to a complete breakdown of the relationship between the three countries, and even a full-scale conflict with the Holy Alliance.

Therefore, the staff believed that Britain and France would be more restrained even if they participated in the war, and the navy was undoubtedly a typical example of small investment and great results.

Duke Mikhail also recognized this. He did not think that Britain and France would send expeditionary troops to fight in the Balkans. The logistical burden and cost would be too great, even Britain and France might not be able to bear it. The navy that dispatches them to occupy an absolute advantage is definitely the first choice.

“If you say that, the pressure on the Black Sea Fleet is not so great!”

Duke Mikhail frowned when he looked at the Black Sea on the map. The Black Sea Fleet is of special significance to him. It can not only suppress the Turks from the sea and block the Turkish maritime transport lines and troop transport lines, but also assist his own supplies. Materials are of great significance.

Once there was no Black Sea Fleet, the supply line was almost broken in half, and Duke Mikhail could not forget the troubles caused by the quagmire of the supply lines in previous wars. It is simply a nightmare, as long as you think of it, your brain hurts!

The only good news is that it seems that Wallachia and Moldavia are repairing roads, and Wallachia has even built a railway, which greatly eases transportation pressure.

“Wallachia again…”

Duke Mikhail sighed again. Although Leonid could understand the matter, he was still a bit unhappy because he didn’t look at the face of the monk and the face of the Buddha. Doesn’t he, the chief of the general staff, even have this kind of face? Yet?

It’s just that Prince Alexander couldn’t show it, but he was a little bit grudged for sure, and it was not unimaginable that he would beat Alexei after Wallachia. But when he thought of the importance of Wallachia, Duke Mikhail’s thoughts faded.

At this time, he also had to admire Alexei and Li Xiao. Unknowingly, these two young men had already grabbed a hand of cards, unlike before, they didn’t even have the qualifications to speak at the table.

As long as Nicholas I decides to use force, no matter who is in charge of the war, Wallachia must be given some face. Otherwise, all kinds of headaches will be enough for your head.

Thinking of this, Duke Mikhail picked up the Leonid report sent by the adjutant and read it carefully.

After a while, Duke Mikhail suddenly became serious. At first, when he saw Leonid’s report, he felt that the choice between Alexei and Li Xiao was a bit strange. With such a big advantage as Russia, is it necessary to defend against Turkey?

At that time, he also agreed with Leonid’s opinion. He felt that what he wanted to solve was not the problem of defense but the problem of fortification. How to capture a strong fortress without artillery support was an old and difficult problem.

He felt that by solving this problem, it could be said that the war was more than half won. But now that I have carefully studied this report and combined with the international situation, Duke Mikhail’s feeling is different. If the attack is not smooth and the British and French intervene strongly, the war will indeed become extremely unsuccessful.

If it is undecided for a long time, the variables will be even greater, and once the plague spreads and the logistics collapse like before, it might be really dangerous.

It is not a bad thing to use troops like this if you lose before you win. At least it is safe. According to Wallachia’s approach, there is not much investment in attacking fortifications, but a defensive mind.

“It’s interesting!”

Duke Mikhail murmured a few words, and then turned to look at the map. After pointing his finger on the map, he turned and looked at the report again, and it was suddenly clear.

“These two guys are really ghosts!”

Duke Mikhail thinks he has seen through the intentions of Alexei and Li Xiao-you two probably think that offensive operations will not be smooth sailing, and there are even potential dangers. If you continue to invest in this area, it will not be possible to use your strength. To the decisive role. But investing precious resources on defense is different.

If the war goes well, then Nicholas I’s temper will not necessarily pursue Wallachia’s conservative preparations for war. Whoever wants to get those trivial incidents after winning the victory. But if it fails, the situation will be different. With Wallachia, the fortification should be able to withstand the offensive of the Turkish army. After all, the Russian army is not good at fighting tough points, let alone the poorer equipped Turks.

If you look at it this way, this calculation is simply too reasonable. It is in full compliance with the unexpected characters of Alexei and Li Xiao. Those two guys are really good at doing this kind of tricks!
