Make France Great Again

After reading through the letter written by Nicholas I, both Alexander II and Gorchakov fell silent.

At the same time, Alexander II also had a guilty expression on his face. He knew that his "bold words" that he had promised Commander Gorchakov that he would persuade his father Nicholas I to postpone the attack had gone bankrupt.

Now, they had to consider how to lead the army to attack Sevastopol.

After a brief moment of silence, Alexander II apologized to Commander Gorchakov: "Commander Gorchakov, I'm sorry!"

"Your Highness, this is not your fault!" Gorchakov said to Alexander II with a wry smile: "On the contrary, I was blindly thinking about the military difficulties, thus ignoring the economic and political difficulties!"

Although these words of Gorchakov feel that Nicholas I was wrong, the objective financial difficulties of the Russian Empire are indeed a problem they have to face.

Even if their Slavic soldiers were willing to bring their own dry food, they would attack the coalition forces for the sake of Nicholas I's imperial hegemony.

But none of the rifles, artillery, bullets, food, and medical equipment in their hands were made of money.

People can live without money, but they cannot live without food.

"Commander Gorchakov, this is not your fault!" Alexander II also blamed Gorchakov: "The situation that the Russian Empire is facing now is all because of what happened in Sevastopol. This is the result of a shameless monarch! After the imperial army captures Sevastopol, I will definitely make him pay the price!"

Alexander gritted his teeth and clenched his fists as he spoke, seemingly confident that the Russian Empire would defeat the French Empire.

However, in Alexander II's heart, his thoughts were very different from what he said. After all, the fact is as Jérôme Bonaparte said, although the number of the Russian Imperial Army is larger than that of the Allied Forces, Their only advantage is that they have more people. The coalition forces have more sophisticated equipment and artillery than they do, and their logistics support and soldier morale are also very sufficient.

Coupled with the fact that Sevastopol and its surroundings have been built into impregnable fortresses by them, the Russian Empire has no hope of victory at all.

According to Alexander II's own thoughts, he did not want to spend time in Sevastopol or even in Crimea (this was Alexander II's thoughts before he became Tsar, and Alexander II's thoughts changed after he became Tsar). changed).

However, his father insisted on letting their loyal troops continue to fight against the coalition forces here.

"Hey!" Gorchakov sighed. He was lamenting about the next fate of the Russian Imperial Army: "Your Highness, should we formulate the next attack plan?"

"Wait a minute! Let's gather all the troops on the Crimean Peninsula together first!" Alexander II responded to Gorchakov.

"Yes!" Commander Gorchakov nodded and replied to Alexander II.

Therefore, in the next week and a half, the troops spread across the front lines of Perekop and Simferopol, except for a small number of troops who needed to stay at the Perekop Fortress to defend against sneak attacks, the remaining troops were mainly concentrated in Simferopol-Bakhchisarai-Saki, these three places are connected to form a large triangle. The field hospitals originally stationed in Zhankoy and Perekop have also been relocated to Simferopol. Bol and Bakhchisarai.

Of course, such a large-scale move by the Russian Empire was naturally not hidden from the coalition forces living in Sevastopol.

When the French Dragoon Guards dispatched near the Alma River came into close contact with the Cossack Cavalry and captured the Cossack Cavalry, the cavalry who learned about the movements of the Russian Imperial Army from the Cossack Cavalry quickly returned to the Sevastopol Fortress to report the news. Reported to Marshal Pellissier.

After receiving the news, Marshal Pellissier left his headquarters without hesitation and went to a field hospital near the coastline. He found Jérôme Bonaparte who was teaching British medical staff how to prevent and treat cholera for future generations.

At this time, Jerome Bonaparte was wearing a white coat and a white doctor's hat designed by himself and said to the volunteers below: "Now is the last wave of high incidence of cholera virus. We must improve Be vigilant. From now on, limestone must be spread near hospitals and drinking water must be uncontaminated.

For those soldiers with cholera symptoms, we must give them infusions as soon as possible to maintain the electrolyte balance in their bodies..."

"Dong dong dong"

A crisp knock on the door interrupted Jerome Bonaparte who was imparting knowledge.

I don’t know who didn’t want to go!

Jérôme Bonaparte showed a hint of displeasure on his face, but he still suppressed his inner displeasure and said to the visitor outside the door: "Please come in!"

Marshal Pellissier opened the door and stood in front of Jérôme Bonaparte.

"Your Majesty, can you please take some of your time! I have some things I want to discuss with you!" Marshal Pellissier bowed to Jerome Bonaparte and then politely said to Jerome Bonaparte said.

The appearance of Pelissier made Jerome Bonaparte immediately aware that there might be a new military action on the part of the Russian Empire. Otherwise, he would not bother himself at this time.

"Yes! Okay!" Jerome Bonaparte nodded, turned to them and smiled: "I have told you everything that needs to be said, and the rest is up to you!"

After saying that, Jérôme Bonaparte and Pélissier quickly left the room. On the way back to the expeditionary force headquarters, Marshal Pélissier briefly reported to Jérôme Bonaparte the news from the dragoons. .

"The Russian Empire is approaching Sevastopol?" Jerome Bonaparte only frowned slightly after hearing the news, and then said to himself.

"Yes! Your Majesty!" Pelissier nodded and replied: "I suspect that they are likely to launch an attack on Sevastopol in the next week or two!"

"If they really launch an attack, that would be great!" Jerome Bonaparte said to Pellissier with a smile: "I'm not afraid of them attacking, I'm afraid they won't attack!"

"You are right!" Marshal Pelissier nodded empathetically.

If the Russian Empire does not attack, it proves that they want to use space in exchange for time as before, thus dragging down the logistics of the coalition forces.

In this way, the coalition forces really have to consider quitting as soon as possible. Jérôme Bonaparte does not want to fight a fatal war of attrition with the Russian Empire.

History has proven that any country that wants to fight a war of attrition with Russia will be dragged down by long supply lines.

Of course, once the Russian Empire withdraws from Crimea, it also means that Jérôme Bonaparte's previous plan to humiliate Russian soldiers in a military parade and induce Nicholas I to become angry and launch a general attack on Sevastopol will be completely bankrupt. .

Fortunately, the Russian army did not retreat, but attacked according to Jérôme Bonaparte's plan.

Jerome Bonaparte couldn't help but thank Nicholas I. He believed that the Russian Empire's attack on Sevastopol must have been ordered by Nicholas I.

With a heart of gratitude to Nicholas I, Jérôme Bonaparte decided to "repay" Nicholas I with one victory after another.

He believed that with the successive victories of the coalition forces, Nicholas I would definitely meet the previous tsars sooner than he had in history.

After all, historical coalition forces only landed on the Crimean Peninsula at this time.

Jerome Bonaparte, who returned to the French headquarters, was not willing to be negligent at all. As soon as he entered the office, he immediately called Jerome Patterson over and issued an invitation to three (four) subordinates of the expeditionary force. ) order from the division commander.

Jerome Patterson immediately rode to the garrison of each division and delivered the news to them.

Canrobert (1st Division), Bosquet (2nd Division), Regno (the latest to arrive at the 4th Division), plus the 3rd Division concurrently served by Marshal Pellissier, appeared in the headquarters.

[PS: Now the number of people in a division of the French Expeditionary Force has actually seriously exceeded that of a traditional division.

Somewhat similar to a reorganized division under a bald man, the number is above the division and below the army. 】

"Sit down! Everyone!" Jérôme Bonaparte invited everyone except Pelissier to sit down, and then nodded to Pelissier.

"Everyone, we have received information! The Russian Imperial Army has recently conducted a large-scale mobilization!" As the acting commander of the French Expeditionary Force (the commander and chief of general staff of the expeditionary force are still Saint-Arnaud, this is Jérôme. Marshal Pélissier, whom Bonaparte gave Saint-Arnault the last "privilege", stood in front of the military map of the Crimea Peninsula, looking for the book garden www. zhaｏｏｈyuan.com pointed to the mark on the map and the three people present chatted: "According to the information we got from the captured Cossack cavalry, the current Russian Imperial Army is heading here (Bakhchisarai), and They are gathering here (Simferopol), and their strength may exceed 200,000!"

(Currently, Pelissier does not know that there are also troops in Saki.)

After Marshal Pelissier introduced the current situation, Marshal Regno and others began to discuss which part of the Russian Empire might launch an attack.

Marshal Regno, who succeeded Marshal Pellissier in the defense of Inkermann Hill, believed that the Russian Imperial Army would most likely launch an attack from north to south along the route of their attack.

The defense of the north bank is undertaken by the Xingying Tu family. After the war begins, the French Empire should mobilize its troops to support it and at the same time send a force to Yevpatoria.
