Make France Great Again

"My dear brother, you are finally here!"

After seeing Jerome Bonaparte, Abdulmecid I, who was sitting on the throne, quickly stood up and came to Jerome Bonaparte. He first went to give Jerome Bonaparte a gift. Tomoe gave him a warm hug, then held his hand and said kindly.

Perhaps because he was deeply "poisoned" by the sketch "Xinjiang Kebab" in his previous life, facing the overly enthusiastic Abdul Meguid I, Jérôme Bonaparte always felt that Abdul Meguid I am less like a monarch and more like a gorgeously dressed kebab stall owner.

However, this kebab stall owner did not smell of mutton.

"My brother, thank you very much, the Ottoman Empire, for inviting me to attend this military meeting!" Jérôme Bonaparte, who maintained the image of a "superficial brother", expressed his gratitude to Abdul Mecid I as usual.

"My brother! You don't need to repeat your words of thanks. Come and take your seat!" Abdulmecid I said to Jerome Bonaparte and pulled him to his seat to sit down.

After the two monarchs arrived, the imperial military meeting officially began.

The person responsible for explaining this military operation to Jerome Bonaparte and Abdul Mecid I was the commander of Constantinople, Mohammed Alma Pasha.

"Your Majesty, ambassadors and generals!" Mohammed Alma, Jérôme Bonaparte and Abdel Meguid I bowed first, and then clapped their hands gently.

A cart with a map hanging on it was pushed in by the black eunuch who had previously sent Jerome Bonaparte into the palace.

This is a planning map of the administrative areas of the eastern provinces of the Ottoman Empire, which also included the later Armenia and Georgia regions.

Therefore, Jerome Bonaparte concluded at the first glance when he saw the map that Ottoman still had great ideas about these two areas.

After all, these two regions had been annexed by the Russian Empire for less than a hundred years.

Back then, nearly 500,000 people gathered in the Batumi region of Georgia alone.

If the occupation of the Russian Empire had not forced a large number of Christians to flee back to the Ottoman Empire, there would be no living space for the Orthodox Church in Georgia. .

Even though the Russian Empire had occupied this area, they were still unable to establish relatively stable rule in these two areas. The governors of Armenia and Georgia had to spend a lot of money to clean up the rebels in the two areas.

The real solution to this problem was after the establishment of the Soviet Union. Under the great migrations of ethnic groups by the Soviet Union, Georgian immigrants moved to the Far East, and the proportion of ethnic minorities in Georgia gradually decreased.

Of course, this kind of migration is not limited to Georgia. The Baltics, Crimea and even five Central Asian countries have done this.

While Jérôme Bonaparte was thinking about the great migration of the people in the Russian Empire, Mohammed Alma explained to them the situation in the entire Caucasus region in French.

In today's Caucasus region, within the 150-mile national border from the Black Sea to the Persian Sea, the Caucasus Turkish troops under the Ottoman Empire (among them Egyptians, Armenians, and Turks) and the Russian Empire's troops in the Caucasus region are taking advantage of ancient Armenia. A tense confrontation took place at the center of Kallis Fortress, an important fortress left by the kingdom.

The fortress was the Russian Empire's only obstacle to the peninsula of Asia Minor and the last barrier for the Turkish army.

In order to prevent this barrier from being penetrated by the Russian army, Abdi Pasha, who was appointed by Abdulmecid I as the commander of the Caucasus Army, entangled tens of thousands of troops in Kalis, including 40,000 Infantry and 8,000 cavalry, as well as 4,000 irregular troops and 54 artillery pieces.

The Russian army opposite them was affected by the Crimean War. It originally had nearly 100,000 troops, but now there are only less than 40,000 left, including 10,000 infantry, 5,000 cavalry, and 1,600 cavalry. Horde irregulars with 60 artillery pieces.

If we look at the strength on paper, the Ottoman Empire's army is far larger than the Russian Empire's army.

But the army is not about size. Whoever has more people will be able to win. Organization, equipment, morale, and logistics are all important factors that affect the combat effectiveness of the army.

When Muhammad Alma finished reciting the deployment of the Russian and Turkish troops, he also revealed their battle plan.

The commander of the Caucasus region, Abdi Pasha, hoped that half of the 40,000 Turkish troops stationed on the Crimean Peninsula could be mobilized to land in the Sukhumi region and cooperate with the garrison troops in the Kalis region to form an outflank against the Russian Empire. With such force, the Russian Empire soldiers entrenched in the Caucasus were annihilated in one fell swoop.

In order to make his strategy more convincing, Muhammad Alma Pasha told Jérôme Bonaparte and Abdülmecid I that the Caucasus Command had secretly contacted a large number of tribal rebels. As soon as the Russian Empire declines, those tribal rebels will rise up and plunge the Russian Empire into a sea of ​​violence.

After Mohammad Alma Pasha finished explaining his strategic intentions, he bowed to Jerome Bonaparte and Abdülmecid I again and asked for their "Holy Judgment."

"Jerome, what do you think?" Abdulmecid I asked Jerome Bonaparte.

After Jerome Bonaparte was silent for a moment, he turned to ask Abdulmecid I: "Can I ask him a few questions?"

"Of course!" Abdul Meguid I responded readily.

"Okay!" Jérôme Bonaparte nodded, and then turned his gaze to Muhammad Alma Pasha, "General Alma, I have a few questions to ask you, can you answer them for me? one time?"

"Your Majesty, please speak!" Mohamed Alma responded to Jérôme Bonaparte with great energy.

"First question, was this plan proposed by you yourself, Abdi, or both of you together?" Jerome Bonaparte asked with a serious face.

After Mohamed Alma hesitated for a moment, he replied to Jérôme Bonaparte: "Your Majesty, this plan was proposed by Abdi Pasha and I forwarded it on my behalf!"

"Since it was the plan proposed by the Caucasus commander Abdi, he should be very familiar with this plan!" Jerome Bonaparte smiled slightly.

"Of course!" Mohammed Alma responded immediately.

"Do you know anything about Abdi's army?" Jérôme Bonaparte asked again.

"I understand quite well!" Mohammed Alma replied after hesitating for a few seconds.

"Then tell me, how many troops in the Caucasus Regional Command are equipped with rifles? What type of rifles are they equipped with? Are the weapons used by your cavalry units Arabian scimitars or flintlock pistols...your 54 artillery pieces? When were the artillery produced, and what is their range and power?" Jérôme Bonaparte kept thinking about Mohammed Alma's question like a rapid fire.

"This...this..." Mohammed Alma hesitated and couldn't say a word.

Jerome Bonaparte's problem is not a problem at all for a professional staff officer, but for some palace military commanders who rely on favor, it is simply a nightmare.

After all, not everyone is Omar Pasha.

What's more, Omar Pasha himself received the most formal military education in the Habsburg Dynasty. Even though Habsburg's military education is about to become the last in Europe, this kind of military education is the same as the Ottoman Empire's invitation to "foreign teachers" Compared with teaching, it is not at the same level at all.

[PS: Since Habsburg nobles can directly enter the army as mortal commanders without passing the examination, few people are willing to actually attend classes at home military schools, and the teachers in the schools have also begun to show a tendency to be bad.

Of course, most generals who are truly determined to climb the ranks will not fail in military academies. 】

Today's Austrian Empire still maintains a complete set of military education processes from military primary schools to military universities, while the Ottoman Empire has not established a complete process at all. Many pashas became monks halfway like Muhammad Alma.

"And do you know about the Russian army opposite you? What equipment they use, what are their advantages or disadvantages compared with your equipment, what equipment do their cavalry and artillery use..." Seeing Mohammed Al Ma couldn't answer, Jérôme Bonaparte asked next.

"This..." Mohammed Alma continued to be speechless. He really didn't know how to answer Jerome Bonaparte.

The expression of Abdulmecid I next to Jérôme Bonaparte gradually became gloomy. He really didn't expect that Mohammed Alma could not answer a single question.

"You just talked about the landing of Sumir! Do you know the terrain of Sumir? If not, go to Shuyuan www.zhaoshuyuａ.com and how can you ensure that the troops dispatched from the Crimean Peninsula can successfully join you..." Jérôme Bonaparte decided to give Mohammed Alma the final blow.

"Your Majesty, I..." Mohammed Alma, who was so nervous that his forehead was sweating, wanted to defend, but he found that he didn't know how to defend.

Do you want him to admit that he is talking nonsense without knowing anything?

"Enough!" Abdul Meguid I shouted, and then looked at Mohammed Alma with murderous eyes: "Isn't it embarrassing enough? Get out!"

"Yes! Yes!" Mohammed Alma, who was scolded by Abdul Meguid I, bowed and left the hall.

"I made you laugh!"
