Make France Great Again

Time passed quickly, and about half an hour passed. The Minister of War, Prince Dolgoruko, the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Karl Nesserrodie, and the Director of the "Third Section", Count Orlov, followed the attaché. Arrive at Catherine Palace.

When the three ministers opened the door and entered the room, Nicholas I's voice reached their ears: "You are here!"

The three ministers hurriedly bowed to Nicholas I, and Nicholas I waved his hand and asked them to come over.

The three people walked towards Nicholas I in the room. At this time, Nicholas I was standing in front of a long square table, his head lowered and his index finger kept making gestures on the table.

When the three ministers approached Nicholas I together, they discovered the Near East area laid out on a long square table with a scale of about 1:50,000.

Prince Dolgoruko and Karl Neserrodie had an unpleasant feeling in their hearts.

Since the last time Karl Neserrodie and Dolgoruko deceived Nicholas I, both Karl Neserrodie and Dolgoruko have stayed away from the center of power to varying degrees, especially It's Karl Nesserrod. Now he is only responsible for some less important diplomatic meetings.

Now the military and diplomacy of the Russian Empire are in the hands of Nicholas I, and all matters, big or small, must be reported directly to him.

As for the "Third Section" under the leadership of Count Orlov, since Nicholas I himself did not know how to conduct espionage operations, Count Orlov knew a little about the situation in the Near East.

After Karl Neserrodie and others came to Nicholas I together, Nicholas I immediately said to them: "The Ottoman Empire has declared war on the Russian Empire! It is estimated that it will not be long before the French Empire will also declare war on the Russian Empire. , so I called you here to ask if there is any way you can make the Russian Imperial Army enter here faster!"

Nicholas I pointed his finger at the location of Constantinople, and he said proudly to the two ministers beside him: "The Ossian Empire has declared war on us, and we must take action, so I will You just called me here to ask what you think?"

As soon as Nicholas I finished speaking, Prince Dolgoruko, who had a slightly upright temper, immediately told Nicholas I that he needed to know the number of people in the Russian Empire in the Danube region and the number of people deployed by the Ottoman Empire in the Danube River.

As soon as Dolgoruko finished speaking, Nicholas I turned his attention to Orlov.

Orlov, who was in the third section, immediately pointed to the map and explained to Prince Dolgoruko the Russian Empire’s deployment of 130,000 troops in the Danube region, and then told Prince Dolgoruko about the Ruse Fortress Group. Approximate number of people with the Scillyscot fort group.

After learning the basic information about the machine, Prince Dolgorov asked Nicholas I for a pen. Nicholas I quickly ordered the attaché to find a staff pencil for drawing.

After a while, the military attache found the pencil and handed it into the hands of Prince Dolgoruko. Prince Dolgoruko took the pencil and started marking Orlov's information on the map. Karl Nesserlo Die and others stood there and looked at Prince Dolgoruf.

"Okay!" After Prince Dolgoruko marked all the places that needed to be marked, a brand new map appeared in front of them. The map was filled with dense arrow symbols and troop numbers.

The words 20,000 and 30,000 are clearly marked on Silistra and Ruse, with two arrows pointing in these two directions respectively.

Nicholas I looked at it carefully for a while, and immediately asked Prince Dolgoruko if he would attack the two fortress groups of Ruse and Silistra at the same time.

"No! Your Majesty! What I mean is to choose one of the two fortress groups as the main attack direction!" Dolgoruk shook his head and explained to Nicholas I.

"I have an army of 130,000, and I am fully capable of launching attacks on these two places at the same time! Just like in 1828!" Nicholas I, who had experience in leading troops, asked Dolgoruko. He had always been right What happened in 1828 is still haunting.

"Your Majesty, if the army is deployed on a large scale, it will cause serious logistical supply problems!" Dolgoruko responded to Nicholas I, "Too many troops participating in the battle will only result in half the result with twice the result! Besides, Scilly Neither Stella nor Ruse is conducive to the deployment of a large-scale army, and an army of 30,000 people is enough to deploy."

"What should happen to the remaining troops?" Nicholas I asked Dolgoruko.

Dolgoruko stated his plan. First, 50,000 troops among the 130,000 troops must be sent to the southwest of Bucharest to deter the Austrian Empire. The remaining 70,000 troops will be spearheaded by the Guards. Deploy dozens of artillery to launch an attack on the Silistra Fortress Group, and strive to eliminate all the Ottoman Empire troops in the Silistra Fortress in a short period of time. As long as the Silistra Fortress Group is conquered, then the people behind them will Bulgaria can achieve great success.

However, when Prince Dolgoruko was at Silistra Fortress, he specifically emphasized that it must be captured as soon as possible, otherwise the French army is likely to appear.

Faced with the strategic suggestions given by Prince Dolgoruko, Nicholas I had a different view. He believed that the Russian Empire’s army should attack Kruse Fortress first, and then go to Kruse after attacking Kruse. The southern part of Serbia instigated Serbia for independence. These Serbian people, who were usually oppressed by the Ottoman Empire, had long accumulated anger. Nicholas I believed that they would become the best helpers of the Russian Imperial Army.

"As long as the Slavic nation can unite, we will definitely be able to defeat all enemies!" Nicholas I said to Dolgoruko enthusiastically, and he had already imagined the scene of himself becoming the "little daddy" of the Balkans.

Regarding Nicholas I's naive thoughts, Karl Nesserrodie asked whether Nicholas I was willing to continue to maintain the Russian Empire and the Austrian Empire (Karl Nesserrodie did not know that the Austrian Empire betrayed the Russian Empire) thing) friendship.

Gujun/span Nicholas I immediately nodded in affirmation. Karl Nesserrodie knelt down to Nicholas I again and said: "Your Majesty, please forgive me for the offense! If you really want the Austrian Empire to stand on your side, On our side, then please give up the idea you just had!"

"Why?" Nicholas I looked at Karl Neserrode in confusion again.

"Your Majesty, there are also many Serbs in the Austrian Empire! If those Serbs respond to your call and start a turmoil, the Austrian Empire will most likely be pulled into the other side's camp! A multi-ethnic country like the Austrian Empire , what we fear most is the national uprising! We cannot push it into the other side’s camp!” Karl Neserrodie said sincerely to Nicholas I.

After Nicholas I thought for a moment, his rational side finally defeated his emotional side, and he approved Dolgoruko's plan.

Later, Dolgoruko told Nicholas I about the plan that Prince Menshikov had made to raid the port of Sipno.

Nicholas I suddenly remembered that a few months ago, after the Ottoman Empire had just rejected the Russian Empire, Prince Menshikov, who returned from the Ottoman Empire, had mentioned this plan to him, but Nicholas I at the time was too exaggerated. Menshikov's plan was rejected on the grounds of rashness.

Judging from the current situation, Menshikov's plan seems to have certain feasibility.

"Do you think Menshikov's plan can complete the strategic concept proposed by his group?" Nicholas I asked Dolgoruko.

Menshikov's strategic concept was to quickly eliminate the Ottoman Empire's navy, and then force Britain and France not to assist the Ottoman Empire, so that the Russian Empire could win.

Dolgoruko shook his head, and he told Nicholas I frankly that he did not think Menshikov's idea could be realized, but even so, the Russian Empire still had to destroy the Ottoman Empire's naval forces in advance, because only In this way, the supplies of the Russian Empire can be guaranteed.

After all, the volume of supplies transported by sea is much greater than that transported by land.

Only after controlling the Black Sea can the Russian Empire truly be able to attack wherever it points.

Even if the French Empire comes to support, it will take some time. As long as this time difference is used to gain advantage, the Russian Empire can destroy the Ottoman Empire before the Ottoman Empire can react.

Nicholas I immediately agreed to Prince Dolgoruko's request to destroy the Ottoman Navy.

Later, Nicholas I once again called the attendant military attache and ordered him to call Prince Menshikov, who had been idle at home for many days, to hear Menshikov's plan with his own ears.

When the attaché arrived at Menshikov's home, Prince Menshikov's wife first showed a surprised expression, and then immediately reacted and received the attaché grandly. The Attaché Attaché immediately told the Attendant Attaché’s wife that Tsar Nicholas I had important matters to discuss with Prince Menshikov.

"Come with me!" said Prince Menshikov's wife to the military attaché.

The attaché followed Menshikov's wife and climbed to the third floor. In a bedroom on the third floor, the attaché met Prince Menshikov.

At this time, Prince Menshikov exuded the unpleasant smell of alcohol, his fluffy hair seemed to have not been taken care of for several weeks, and his eyes that were originally like hawks were now full of bloodshot eyes, giving him an inexplicable feeling. A sense of decadence.

"Who are you?" Menshikov asked the attaché in front of him, shaking his head. In his eyes, the attaché had changed from one person to multiple people.

"Your Excellency, please look for Shuyuan www.zhaoshuyuan.com Your Majesty ordered me to send you to Tsarskoye Selo!" the attaché said to Prince Menshikov in a calm tone.

"Tsarskoye Selo... ugh! I won't go... that place is full of liars and robbers!" Menshikov drunkenly shouted to the attaché: "I won't go back to that place!"

"But the order I received is to bring you here!" The attendant said to Menshikov earnestly, and then looked at Menshikov's wife for help.

After Menshikov's wife looked at the drunken husband in front of her, she smiled apologetically to the attaché and asked him to go out and wait for a while.

The Attendant Attaché could only obey. Half an hour later, Menshikov appeared in front of the Attendant Attaché. Judging from his current state, there was no sign of being drunk at all.

"Let's go!"
