Struggle in Russia

Turkey’s reaction completely exceeded Paskovic’s expectations. According to this old Qiubai’s estimation, it was learned that after the Russian army landed, the Turkish army should be in disarray. Both the Danube and Istanbul will be in chaos. The Russian army only needs Take advantage of the hot iron scores and take them away to the Turkish army.

But the Turkish army was not in chaos at all. Instead, they chose to counterattack at the first time. Bulgaria immediately gathered 50,000 troops in the direction of Bulgaria, and cooperated with the 20,000 people who came from Istanbul to attack the Russian army in Ineada. It interrupted the Black Sea Fleet’s plan to consolidate the landing site and expand its territory, and firmly restricted the Russian naval infantry to the surrounding area of ​​Ineada.

What the Russian army did not expect is still to come. Because of the cold wave, the Black Sea Fleet’s logistical supplies could not be transported. Although the temperature of seven or eight degrees is not too low, at least the temperature of -20 degrees below zero with the polar bear’s home. Ways to compare.

But the humidity on the coast of the Black Sea is not comparable to that of a dry polar bear den. The naval infantry, who was completely unprepared for this cold wave, shivered in the low temperature of the rainy season. It was not enough to eat or wear warm. !

At this time, Paskovic had not realized the seriousness of the problem. He had no idea what happened to the landing troops. He was still taking a nap behind the warm fireplace in Constanta, dreaming some sweet dreams of yellow beams!

“The facts have proved that my judgment is correct. The rear of Turkey is extremely empty. You can pierce them with just one finger. Gentlemen, I will take you to visit Constantinople and restore this thousand-year-old capital!”

Paskovic said it very positively, as if Istanbul was just chicken wings on the grill waiting for him to open his mouth.

“When can the Black Sea Fleet go to sea? Can’t you stand up to this little wave?”

Paskovic was full of contempt for the Black Sea Fleet, which was unable to go to sea immediately, but the staff officers sitting next to him knew that this was standing and speaking, and it was heavy rain and strong wind. The gusts on the sea reached level seven or eight. The huge waves can break you. Even if the Black Sea Fleet is brave enough to go out to sea in this kind of weather, they dare not board the ship.

“General Kornilov said that the weather will not show signs of improvement for the time being. If the wind doesn’t stop, except for a few steamships that can go to sea, the rest of the ships can’t move at all!”

Steam boat!

Paskovic had never thought that one day he would like steamships. He had no good feelings about these smoky monsters before, and felt that they were all freaks and shouldn’t exist at all.

But now he actually hopes that the Black Sea Fleet will have more steamships, so that his troops don’t have to stand in the rain and tremble stupidly.

It’s just that this topic is too involved, he is not interested in helping Kornilov and others offend Menshkov and Nicholas I, so he immediately changed the topic:

“Are the children okay? This light rain is a bit cold.”

The staff officers looked at each other for a while, because the soldiers’ condition was really not good. It was the end of March. Who could withstand such a cold wave suddenly? That which is rain and wind is biting!

“Some soldiers have a cold. We have instructed the troops to cut down a little more trees to make a fire to keep warm…”

Paskovic said softly. He didn’t really care about the status of the soldiers, but just pretended to ask casually. After all, he was the commander-in-chief and it was not good to leave a reputation for not sparing soldiers.

For him, a small cold is not considered a disease at all. If there is not enough forest and enough wood, he would probably prohibit soldiers from cutting down trees.

After the routine “care” was over, Paskovic asked the question he really cared about: “What’s the situation in Ineada? How far is the naval infantry from Constantinople? Have you encountered the main forces of the Turkish army? ?”

This question cannot be answered for the time being. Due to the impact of the cold wave, it is difficult for Ineada’s news to be sent back in time. It can only rely on a few steamships of the Black Sea Fleet to deliver the news, but they cannot act as postmen all the time. It took one or two days to go back and forth, and the news is unavoidable.

It took another day before Paskovic, who was sitting by the fireplace, received the bad news-the main force of the Turkish army appeared in Ineada!

“How can this be!”

Lao Qiubai was the first to express his disbelief. He crumpled the report into a ball and threw it on the ground, roaring: “How can there be a main force of the Turkish army around it! Turkey is on the Danube river line, and the rear must be empty!”

Obviously what he meant was that the naval infantry had lied, and he yelled endlessly: “These **** saltwater ducks, I know they are unreliable, they can’t handle a little difficulty, but it’s just a bit of bad weather, just make a fuss. How can this fight?”

“Tell them that they must attack me immediately, attack Constantinople, and if they dare to bullshit, I will be welcome!”

One can imagine how shocked the naval infantry would be after receiving Paskovic’s attitude and attacking? Could the hundreds of thousands of Turkish soldiers in front of them of his grandmother be tied with paper? Being able to hold on to the current position is extremely reluctant to attack your sister!

Just when Paskovic was furious, the Mercury carried Nasimov to Constanta. The Chief of Staff of the Black Sea Fleet found Lao Qiubai and gave him back unceremoniously:

“I just returned from the front line of Ineada. The situation there is extremely severe. About 100,000 Turkish troops have surrounded my boys. Now the boys are running out of food and clothing and ammunition. Enter Constantinople!”

If another admiral came to tell Paskovic this news, he would definitely not believe it or even sarcasm at UU reading www.uukanshu.com. But Nasimov is different. As a hero of the Sinop naval battle, Nasimov’s reputation is not generally high, and even he must give face.

Although he was skeptical of what Nasimov said, he must be respected and listened to.

“Where is the main force of the native army?”

Lao Qiubai is still struggling with this question, which is inexplicable in Nasimov’s view. No matter where the Turkish army came from, now they have arrived. The important thing is not to study how they came out, but to think about what to do next. !

“Maybe from the direction of Constantinople and Bulgaria, my lads reported that they came from these two directions!”

Paskovic was surprised again, because he really didn’t expect the Turkish army to take the initiative to attack. When did these local chickens be so brave?

After thinking for a while, Paskovic asked calmly: “When can the fleet ship the follow-up troops?”
