Struggle in Russia

But Van Nicholas I knew that when he was beaten, he had to hold his head and squat. Don’t force him to be dissatisfied. Russia would not be so miserable in the Crimean War. The czar, who did not admit defeat until he died, could not recognize the reality. He was also a tragic person to tell the truth, but his tragic feelings were not worthy of sympathy.

Nicholas I, who had never been beaten by life, was naturally very unconvinced with the blockade imposed on Russia by Britain and France. He felt that his country was rich in land and resources. What did he not have? You can live your own little life just like leaving England and France!

And not only to live a small life, but also to make life better, let the world know that Russia is fearless!

As a result, facing the iron fist of Britain and France, he greeted him with this face: “The number of recruits must be at least 200,000!”

Nicholas I decisively commanded: “And make preparations to continue to recruit 100,000 new recruits, and if necessary, immediately summon the troops and go to the front!”

After finishing speaking, he turned to Chernyshov and asked, “How is your research on the landing operation strategy proposed by Prince Paskovic? Can it be implemented?”

Chernyshov sighed inwardly. After Paskovic proposed the plan, Nicholas I immediately ordered him to have a meeting with the navy to discuss the plan. In fact, the meaning was obvious. He just wanted to try it!

After all, Paskovic’s plan is very tempting. It can copy the back of the Turkish army and directly threaten Istanbul. We must know that since the fall of Constantinople in 1453, Christians have never regained this thousand-year-old capital.

Russia, which has always been a descendant of the Eastern Roman Empire, wants to restore its glory and regain Istanbul, but the closest to Russia was in 1829. It was almost possible to succeed, but ultimately fell short.

Nicholas I had always regretted that failure, and always wanted to make up for this regret in his lifetime. Now Paskovic’s plan fits his taste very well, and the possibility is very high.

In Nicholas I’s opinion, the reason why the Russian army has always stopped in Bulgaria in the past is that on the one hand, the lack of troops and strength, and the interference of foreign powers, and the lack of logistical supplies, of course, the most important thing is that the Black Sea Fleet has not been able to complete. Control the Black Sea.

Now the Black Sea has become a Russian bath. If you want to take a milk bath, you can take a milk bath. If you want a bubble bath, you can take a bubble bath. Turkey can only watch.

At this time, using the dominance of the sea to directly throw the powerful ground forces into the heart of Turkey near Istanbul in one fell swoop, although this is a bit risky, it is worth a try!

When Nicholas I was a soldier, he was actually not good at fighting. In the final analysis, he was more like a military judge, and he might be able to manage military discipline. It was too reluctant to let him go into battle and direct the battle.

Before he ascended to the throne, perhaps he had self-knowledge in this regard, knowing that his military capability was a few kilograms or so, which was not considered a zeal.

But over the past two decades, he has long since been flattered and his head has been dazzled by the glorious victories of Russia under his governance. He really thought he had military genius, at least there was no problem with the strategic layout.

Naturally, his courage suddenly became stronger, and he was prone to get fever and make some whimsical things.

Paskovic just happened to cater to his whimsy this time, and two people with similar smells were called a devil.

It’s just that Chernyshov has no magic barriers. Although his military command ability is also very ordinary, his reason still exists. Although Paskovic’s plan looks good, there are too many unavoidable problems.

Needless to say, the Black Sea Fleet simply does not have the ability to transport a hundred thousand troops to the surrounding area of ​​Istanbul. Not to mention that it is even more troublesome to maintain the logistic supply of this 100,000 army after landing.

And these trivial troubles Paskovic, a careless old man like Paskovic, doesn’t care or care at all. His careless combat method is notoriously unrestrained!

If facing a weak enemy like Turkey alone, there is nothing wrong with being careless and bold, but this time Russia’s enemy is also a great power like Britain and France. Kutuzov was also very unrestrained back then, but the loss was there. It was true that Napoleon was settled, and the trauma of Russia itself was relieved by a generation of talents.

I don’t know if Paskovic has a generation of time to heal Chernyshov, but he knows that this plan is very dangerous, the burden and pressure are too great, and the slightest mistake will be ruined not only for the landing ten. Ten thousand people, even the Black Sea Fleet and even Duke Mikhail will collapse.

This responsibility is too great. He, the Secretary of the Army, really can’t carry it on his own!

At this time Chernyshov was very envious of Menshkov who was not in St. Petersburg. Originally, he and Menshkov would discuss and study together with Menshkov, and then reply to Nicholas I together. With the old eunuchs, it would be much easier for them to persuade Nicholas I, and even if the persuasion was unsuccessful, they would bear the final responsibility together.

But now Chernyshov obviously can only face the anger of Nicholas I alone, which makes him very nervous, and he doesn’t know how to express some words correctly.

After tangling for a moment, he glanced at a few old foxes around him. Whether it was Count Uvarov or Duke Ordov, none of them paid attention to his “SOS” signal. Chernyshov could only bite the bullet and replied:

“According to our research and deduction ~www.wuxiax.com~ The Prince’s plan is somewhat attractive, but there are also many unavoidable problems. For example, the Black Sea Fleet does not have strong enough transport capacity to transport a hundred thousand troops. Arriving in Istanbul, it is not enough to maintain the logistics supply of the 100,000 army…”

Chernyshov answered carefully while observing the expression of Nicholas I. As expected, the tsar’s brows became a ball and his face was full of unhappiness.

Immediately Chernyshov sighed again in his heart, and then continued to bite the bullet and said: “These two problems are very serious. Before they can be solved, the landing operations must be cautious.”

After speaking, Chernyshov sighed. He was so nervous that he would be scolded by Nicholas I before he finished speaking. Fortunately, this majesty is still sensible, and he didn’t directly let him go.

It’s just that!

He glanced at the expression of Nicholas I again. This majesty was obviously dissatisfied and unhappy. Nothing happened but he was still thinking about something. Once he thinks he will have a result, a swearing is absolutely indispensable, so ask for more blessings earlier!
