Struggle in Russia

Vol 3 Chapter 553: Don't even think about it

Knowing that the result will not be good, it feels too bad that I can’t do anything. After Li Xiao traveled to Russia, he has experienced similar situations too many times, and now he is a bit accustomed to this kind of powerlessness and feels accustomed to it.

After a long time he said to Dmitry: “Let me talk to Kornilov, I hope they can persuade my uncle!”

Dmitry knew that this was just a matter of obedience to the destiny. Although Kornilov and Nasimov had a beautiful victory, their status in the heart of Nicholas I could not be compared with Paskovic.

Let’s put it this way, compare the two sides, one is Taishan and the other is a feather, do you say that there is a comparison?

Dmitry sighed again and said: “Let’s talk to Count Rostovtsev together, and persuade the count to persuade His Majesty that his status and weight in His Majesty’s heart should surpass Paskovic!”

It’s okay not to mention Count Rostovtsev. Li Xiao was obviously licking his teeth when he mentioned this count. Obviously he had a lot of opinions on the count.

This makes Dmitry a little strange. He knows that the relationship between Li Xiao and Count Rostovtsev is a bit peculiar. If they are allies, they seem to be more intimate, but you have to say that they are good enough to wear a pair of pants. The two have great differences on many issues.

For example, looking at Li Xiao’s expression, it is obvious that he has an opinion on Count Rostovtsev. Why are they arguing again?

Li Xiao didn’t realize that Dmitry thought about this a lot in an instant. The reason why he was a little bit frowning was very simple, and that was that he knew the purpose of Count Rostovtsev too well.

The earl didn’t even want to win this war. He wished Russia a miserable defeat. It would be better to exhaust Nicholas I’s last ambition and the remaining strength of the conservatives, so that he could lead the reformists to fight back. Dominate the fate of Russia.

So for Count Rostovtsev, Paskovic’s advice was just right to his appetite, how could you expect him to stop it!

Li Xiao sighed and said: “My friend, I think you may not understand the earl’s ideas, he might be eager for Paskovic to toss him!”

Dmitry was taken aback, and then he thought of Count Rostovtsev’s ambition and the means to realize it. From this point of view, he is indeed not willing to stop Paskovic from being killed, and even loudly echoes and applauds!

Suddenly, his face was a little bit ridiculous, because in fact he basically agreed with Count Rostovtsev’s opinion that Russia had reached the time when it was not broken. If the conservatives continue to be in power, it will actually be a chronic suicide.

Once the distance is completely separated from the great powers, Russia may not be able to withstand several rounds of carve-up. So he felt that it was necessary to seize power to carry out reforms, and agreed that the necessary failure was acceptable.

But when he entered work in Wallachia, his military nature unconsciously gained the upper hand. It was his bounden duty to defend his home and the country. He always subconsciously wanted to avoid risks and protect Russia’s interests from loss.

As soon as Li Xiao reminded him, he immediately woke up. It was really useless to find Count Rostovtsev. People would not pay attention to them at all, and even after investigating that they might have to add trouble to Paskovic Will try to help Paskovic.

In other words, looking for Count Rostovtsev is like shooting himself in the foot, which is extremely stupid.

Suddenly Dmitry froze, and those who could help, whether it was Prince Alexander or Count Rostovtsev, were either unwilling to help or would rather help. This is really cheating!

“Let me write to your Majesty to tell me something,” Alexei saw that the situation was deadlocked, and stood up and said in a self-deprecating way: “It’s just hard to say how effective it is…”

Hearing this, Dmitry sighed again, shook his head as if to get rid of some grievances, and then slowly said: “Let’s discuss how to deal with the worst situation!”

Li Xiao and Alexei knew that Dmitry also thought that there was basically no way to stop Paskovic, so instead of continuing to struggle, it is better to think about how to deal with the aftermath.

“Once the troops for landing operations are annihilated or surrounded, the pressure on the Navarachia defense line will increase exponentially. We may still need to find ways to strengthen the defense depth and build more fortresses!”

Dmitry analyzed anxiously: “Otherwise, once the Danube Defense Line is breached, it may cause a chain reaction and we will collapse!”

Alexei also sighed and said, “Yes, I have already started to do this, but the financial pressure is too great, and the number of people we can mobilize has reached the limit. The logistical burden is too great! ”

It’s not that Alexei complains casually, but the logistics pressure is really great. Do you think it’s easy for half a million soldiers to eat horses? Let’s put it this way, the food consumed by Wallachia every day is a terrible figure.

If you count other ammunition and medicines, it really costs money. Fortunately, Wallachia does not need to bear the money, otherwise Alexei would directly find a crooked neck tree and hang himself.

Even if Wallachia only needs to undertake transportation tasks, it is big enough. This is still in the case of railways. Without this railway, the traffic pressure will be even greater. It can almost be said that the Russian army will inevitably be hungry.

Dmitry also sighed: “The problem in Moldavia is too big. Most of the traffic pressure is on Izmail and Ukraine. If the traffic can be increased there, the pressure will be much less! ”

Yes~www.wuxiax.com~ Now most of the materials entering Wallachia are transported through Ukraine. In addition, the Black Sea Fleet can afford part of the sea route, but these materials have to be transported to Izmail first , Were loaded on a train or small ship in Izmail and transported to Bucharest respectively.

The transport capacity that Moldavia can afford is really pitiful, even if Duke Constantine renovated the road, the traffic situation there is still a mess.

In fact, it is not only the bad roads, but more importantly, Moldavia suffered a severe famine this winter, which caused chaos in the country, and the refugees were surrounded by bandits. These people either blocked the road or took the opportunity to rob the Russian army’s logistics. Fleet.

Let’s put it this way, for every bushel of grain shipped from Moldavia to Bucharest, three bushels would be lost on the road, which is a huge loss.

Anyway, the logistics department of the Russian army is now full of resentment towards Grand Duke Constantine, and will greet this little fat man whenever he has the opportunity.

“You don’t have to think about it!” Li Xiao immediately dispelled Dmitry’s illusion, “As far as I know, Moldavia will be more chaotic next…”
