Struggle in Russia

Vol 3 Chapter 563: do not care

Priority is given to guaranteeing the troops Paskovic needs, priority is given to him to obtain enough ships, and priority is given to him with the most sufficient supplies.

Anyway, all the best things that the Russian national power allowed the upper limit to give were left to Paskovic. For a time, the “Paskovic Legion” became the most dazzling jewel in the Russian crown. The once-hot “Mikhail” The Duke’s Legion” became a stepmother, and the supplies that were originally intended to be transported to him were directly allocated to Paskovic, and several of the elite guards under his command were also deployed and allocated to them. Paskovic.

This action was an ups and downs, and it caused great troubles for the Duke of Wallachia and Mikhail and the Black Sea Fleet.

The reason is simple. First of all, the supply of materials was affected, causing many troops on the front line to almost cut off their food. Even taking the guards to switch defenses is a difficult problem. After all, the Turks don’t care whether you switch defenses or not, they won’t stop offensive and leave you time to switch defenses.

Let’s put it this way, because of this tossing, several fulcrums on the front line of Duke Mikhail were captured by Turkey, and the Turks occupied several strongholds on the north bank of the Danube.

For Duke Mikhail, this is just a nonsense. If there is a mistake in the Danube defense line, the entire Russian army will collapse. Isn’t this more important than Paskovic’s plan that he came up with?

It is a pity that Nicholas I did not want to listen, and the Duke of Alexander did not dare to listen, so he could only continue to toss like this.

In the end, it only suffered from the frontline troops of Wallachia. In order to remove the Turks’ bridgehead strongholds, Duke Mikhail had to organize a counterattack, and sacrificed thousands of people before driving the Turks back to the other side of the river. The sacrifice would never happen at all.

In fact, the influence of the bad side of Paskovic’s landing plan has only just fermented. Although he transferred all guards, it must be pointed out that after the previous stage of fierce battle, both morale and physical strength have dropped to a low point. The correct approach is to carry out the landing operations after the compensatory rest period.

But Nicholas I was in a hurry. He and Paskovic both looked forward to a surprise victory and defeated Turkey in one fell swoop. For fear that the British and French expeditionary forces would arrive in Istanbul first, so they roared all the way to urge these guards to act quickly. Rushed to Constanta without stopping, and immediately began the so-called landing operations training.

This tossing naturally caused the physical strength of these troops to be reduced by a bit. What’s worse is that the so-called landing operation training organization is also messed up, and there is almost no gain except for making many waterless ducks more afraid of the sea.

It’s just that Paskovic doesn’t care about these terrible conditions. In his opinion, the so-called landing combat training is completely unnecessary, because the first round of landing is the naval infantry of the Black Sea Fleet. They are familiar with amphibious operations. After a wave of them seizing the landing field, the guards in the back just have to go ashore step by step, maybe their boots won’t get wet.

It was Kornilov and Nasimov who strongly opposed it that made him reluctantly organize landing training.

This is not the most critical issue. To make matters worse, the grain and other supplies shipped from Ukraine and Belarus are still on the way, and Paskovic has mobilized another 100,000 troops. These people flocked to the front line of Constanta and immediately increased the logistical pressure on this side.

If you think about it, the traffic on this side was poor, and river networks and swamps were all over the place. The logistics pressure was already as high as that of a horse, but now they have to provide limited support for landing operations, which naturally makes the Russian army on this side miserable.

Moreover, after the Paskovic Army broke away from the command and control of the Duke Mikhail, all came under Paskovic’s control. This one does not have Li Xiao and Dmitri as staff, his command style is still the traditional one-careless and unpretentious.

The sanitary decree that was only implemented under the strong order of Duke Mikhail reached Paskovic’s side and became a wiper, which was simply discarded.

With the arrival of early summer, mosquitoes are infested, and a group of soldiers who do not pay attention to hygiene are mixed, and it is difficult not to get sick.

As a result, Paskovic’s army was immediately surrounded by infectious diseases, and fell ill for a quarter before his troops got on the ship, but Paskovic still felt normal and said that he wanted to fight back then. At that time, it is common for one-third or even one-half to fall ill, and it is a good guy to go out with an illness!

The bad guy Li Xiao doesn’t know, he only knows that the egg hurts. Fortunately, Duke Mikhail discovered the outbreak of the disease on Paskovic’s side in time and quarantined his troops from them. Otherwise, the wave created by Paskovic would directly let Constanta The Russian army on the frontline has worsened the situation.

It’s just that the Paskovic Army can be isolated if ordered, but the residents of Constanta and Paskovic’s Army themselves are disobedient. The officers and soldiers who have been released from the barracks run around and directly bring the plague. Given to the residents of Constanta, it will affect the Paskovic Army sooner or later as time goes by. After all, the limited quarantine measures in this era cannot completely block the channels of transmission.

Let me put it this way, sooner or later Constanta’s troops will be killed by Paskovic. And the problem of Duke Mikhail’s insufficient strength will intensify. This is probably the so-called teammate of the pig!

It’s just that Paskovic, the pig teammate, doesn’t take it seriously. He doesn’t care about Duke Mikhail’s warnings at all. Instead, he regards these warnings as envy and hatred, saying that Duke Mikhail is jealous of him.

“Don’t worry about those whispering and crooked sounds~www.wuxiax.com~ that is, some people can’t eat grapes and say grapes are sour, we just need to do our own work,” Paskovic laughed. Said to his staff.

After speaking, he asked impatiently: “Is the Black Sea Fleet ready? When can I start the action?”

Although his staff members were very happy to be able to make contributions with the prince, they were still alert to the temporary troubles encountered by the troops. They warned:

“Commander, the preparatory work is still going on. Ships are largely requisitioned, but there is a shortage of enough crews. The civilian sailors are afraid of war. The Black Sea Fleet alone is not enough to drive these ships to sea…”

“In addition, the health problems of the troops are also worthy of vigilance. We think it is necessary to re-act the health regulations, otherwise we will lose one-third of our troops before going to sea. Cholera is too serious and there is a serious shortage of medicines. If we don’t take… …”

Not waiting for the staff to finish talking, Paskovic waved his hand impatiently and said: “You can see these small problems solved, I only care about when I can go to sea now!”
