Struggle in Russia

“The rudder of the Three Saints was damaged. The captain and crew are undergoing intensive maintenance. The situation is very unsatisfactory. They may have to withdraw from the operation.”

After going out to sea for a day, Nasimov received an endless stream of bad news. Most of the small fishing boats capsized or were shot back by wind and waves as soon as they left the port. , This is three times slower than the original plan.

To make matters worse, the fleet suffered varying degrees of damage. The rudder of the Three Saints was considered to be a problem. The mast of the cruiser Jerky was directly blown off by the wind, almost making the captain’s head bloom.

The only good news is that dominance of the Black Sea is in your hands, so you don’t have to worry about enemies taking the damage to the fleet.

“Go ahead and tell the Three Saints to follow up as soon as possible. Our task is very heavy. The situation in Ineada is very unfavorable for us. The brothers on the shore are in urgent need of reinforcements and supplies!”

Nasimov had no choice but to move on. After tossing for nearly five days, the exhausted fleet finally arrived in Ineada. After arriving at the port, he looked at the almost paralyzed army ducks. He knew that he could not count on this in a short time. Poor bug.

“What’s the situation?” Nasimov asked Kornilov.

Two days Chankornilov personally rushed to Ineada to inspect the situation, and his heart was chilled by what he saw.

“Very bad!” He replied bluntly, “We have only more than 24,000 troops left to fight, but the enemy has at least more than 100,000. We can only retreat to the outer defense of Ineada, and the ammunition and Other supplies are extremely scarce, and the soldiers are also very tired and can only support it with all their strength.”

Nasimov sighed and said, “Paskovic refuses to stop, and he will continue to increase troops. What I brought here is the first batch of pioneer troops…”

Kornilov was not surprised that Paskovic would do this. He sighed and said: “I know, that old **** has always been self-serving, how can he stop without any gain!”

After a short pause, he lowered his voice and whispered: “I want to tell you another bad news. According to the intelligence inside Istanbul, the British Expeditionary Force has arrived in Istanbul, and there are about two thousand people. The French Expeditionary Force is also about to arrive. Toulon is out to sea!”

Nasimov was taken aback, and hurriedly asked: “About how many troops are there?”

“More than 10,000 people!”

This number shocked Nasimov, but before he was surprised, Kornilov said again: “This is just the vanguard. According to insider information, the slutty emperor of Bonaparte is ready to go. One, full mobilization is underway, less to say, 100,000 people will be sent to the war!”

Nasimov’s heart is getting colder. This is only the French. If the British also send the same number of troops, then their fun will be great. Even if the British army has only half of the French army, they can drink a pot.

If you break your fingers and count, you will know that the Turkish army has invested 100,000 troops in Istanbul, and if you count the French army 100,000, the British army has to be tens of thousands. Even if Paskovic can put all his forces into it, he can only be beaten!

“We must warn Paskovic immediately that this can’t go on!” Nasimov immediately screamed.

It’s just that Kornilov just sighed faintly: “He won’t listen, not to mention that this information was revealed to us by the insiders of Li Xiao’s personal relationship. We can’t just disclose it, otherwise it would be a friend. In danger!”

Nasimov stopped talking immediately, and he also knew that the so-called inside line was actually David Lebeuf. Only this uncle of Li Xiao now has this magical power. It is also true that if they tell Paskovic this amazing news, the old Qiu Ba will definitely not believe that he will break the casserole and ask the end, what should I do then?

He also sighed: “What should I do?”

Kornilov smiled bitterly: “I have ordered the troops to continue to retreat, relying on the city to stand firm, and I am also trying to strengthen the dock…”

Nasimov knew what he wanted to do, and that was to hold on first, and then wait until Paskovic knew what was impossible to do, then use the reinforced dock to withdraw the troops.

“That can only be done!” Nasimov sighed again, and said startledly: “I hope that old thing can wake up as soon as possible!”

But this is really just an extravagant hope, because Paskovic didn’t mean to wake up at all. After Nasimov returned to Constanta and warned him again, he remained unmoved and did not hesitate to pay another five thousand. The land duck stuffed the boat and ordered decisively:

“Now that the weather is good, nothing can stop us from winning this victory. I ask your fleet to transport troops day and night to transport the main force of our army to Ineada as soon as possible!”

Nasimov couldn’t help it again, and asked, “Your Excellency Prince, haven’t you heard what I just said? Our army has fallen into a total passivity in Ineada, and can only rely on the city to hold on, and there is a gossip that says The Anglo-French Expeditionary Force is about to arrive on the battlefield!”

Paskovic just snorted coldly: “You also said that it’s just gossip and it’s not enough to believe. This is probably a rumor deliberately released by the Turks, a trick used to boost morale and attack the will of our army! ”

Nasimov shook his head, but he didn’t continue arguing with Paskovic~www.wuxiax.com~ He found that it was meaningless, and it was better to be out of sight than to waste your words.

Five thousand people were transported to Ineada. The situation was a little better than the previous batch. It also brought some help to the naval infantry who were standing there, but the situation on the battlefield was still deteriorating. Soon they discovered that the firepower of the Turkish army had become more powerful, and it was obviously strengthened by heavy artillery, which was very unusual!

“It’s really unusual. Turkey doesn’t have so many artillery pieces. It should be British and French! I have sent someone to reconnaissance, and there will be news soon!” Kornilov said bitterly.

Sure enough, his guess was very correct, and the scouts soon brought information that suffocated them-the French expeditionary force has arrived on the battlefield, and it is initially estimated that there is an artillery brigade!

“When you go back, don’t forget to tell that old Qiubai!” Kornilov mocked, “Now there is real evidence. An artillery brigade with an infantry regiment came so fast!”

The French moved really fast. With the arrival of the first batch of pioneer troops in Istanbul, French ships in various ports in the Mediterranean continued to have ships loaded with soldiers and materials to go to sea, and the target was directed at Istanbul!
