Make France Great Again

Chapter 642: A Bad Check to Sardinia

"Marshal, I don't think the Russian Imperial Army's attack will be so conservative! I think the Russian Army, which has the advantage in strength, will attack both the north and south banks at the same time! It is really a luxury for all 200,000 troops to besiege the north bank!"

After Marshal Renault's speech, Canrobert put forward different opinions.

As soon as Canrobert finished speaking, he was immediately recognized by everyone, including Jerome Bonaparte.

Canrobert was indeed right. It was too extravagant for 200,000 troops to besiege only one north bank.

The army on the entire north bank is only about 10,000 people. Among them, the combat effectiveness of the Ottoman Empire army has been in Schrödinger's state. On the south bank, there are only 10,000 people from the two armies of France and Sacrifice (the Sardinian dynasty sent another 10,000 people in mid-August). Attacking the Crimean troops, they received in return the French and British troops who helped the Sardinian Dynasty exempt part of the war indemnity).

If he were the commander of the Russian army, he would definitely not leave the Fassa army alone.

"General Canrobert is right!" Jérôme Bonaparte said with a serious expression: "We must always prepare for the worst and not have any luck! Any luck will only make us Your actions will be rewarded!”

Everyone present said in unison: "I understand."

Later, General Boskai also spoke: "Your Majesty, I think we not only need to consider the situation on the north and south sides, but also the town of Yevpatoria!

Marshal Reno suggested a plan to attack Perekop from the town of Yevpatoria. I think the Russian side will also consider this aspect.

They are likely to send separate troops to Yevpatoria to remove the 5,000 people stationed in Yevpatoria! (Among them 3,000 French soldiers and 2,000 Sardinian soldiers).

I suggest that in addition to increasing the strength of Yevpatoria itself, some French warships parked in the port of Sevastopol should be sent to Yevpatoria. Once the Russian army attacks, the artillery on the warships will It will become their nightmare! "

"This is a good suggestion!" Jérôme Bonaparte smiled and nodded.

General Bosquet, who was praised by Jérôme Bonaparte, had a smile on his face.

After all three division commanders finished speaking, Marshal Pellissier summarized their suggestions and then told them that he would send all their suggestions to the staff.

The next instructions will be issued to them by the expeditionary force staff.

After Marshal Pelissier finished his speech, Jérôme Bonaparte made a summary. He put his hands together on his chin and said in a cautious tone: "Everyone, the battle between us and the Russian Empire has begun again. I hope you will Everyone must be alert at all times! Don't give the other side any opportunity to take advantage. You must use the artillery and rifles in your hands to severely damage the opponent in the shortest possible time!

Let their blood donations spread all over this land; let their madness be wiped out on the iron and copper walls of France. Only by pulling out these teeth and claws can they truly communicate with us calmly!

I will not allow anyone to compromise with them until the fangs and claws of this giant bear are worn away!

have you understood? "

The marshals and generals present stood up at the same time, and said to Jerome Bonaparte with an extremely serious expression: "I understand!"

"Okay! You can now return to the defense area under your jurisdiction and wait for the next order!" Jerome Bonaparte waved his hand and said to those present.

After Marshal Reignaud, General Canrobert, and General Bosquet left in turn, Jerome Bonaparte once again ordered Jerome Patterson to serve as Colonel Bruat, who commanded the French Navy in the Crimean War. will be called.

About half an hour later, General Bruard appeared at the expeditionary force headquarters. He first saluted Jerome Bonaparte, and then asked Jerome Bonaparte what his orders were.

Jérôme Bonaparte told Admiral Bruard that he wished to send a fleet to Yevpatoria to guard against a possible Russian surprise attack.

Admiral Bruat suggested that Jerome Bonaparte send the two "ironclad ships" "Napoleon" and "Friendship" as the main ships to support Yevpatoria, and then equip them with five double-decker ships. Battleships and 8 gunboats, this kind of firepower is enough to make any army that wants to attack Yevpatoria tremble.

"Okay, just do as you say!" Jérôme Bonaparte thought for a moment, then nodded and said.

"Your Majesty, please allow me to return to the military port to prepare!" Admiral Bruard said to Jérôme Bonaparte.

Shortly after General Bruard left, La Maramore, the commander-in-chief of the Kingdom of Sardinia, appeared at the expeditionary force headquarters, and Jérôme Bonaparte and Marshal Pellissier met with him.

"Your Majesty, I heard that the Russian Empire is deploying in Bakhchisarai. I don't know if this news is true!" La Maramore asked Jérôme Bonaparte as soon as he sat down.

"That's right!" Jérôme Bonaparte said to La Maramore in a calm tone: "According to our situation, the Russian Empire is indeed moving towards Bakhchisarai and Simferopol! Why? Already?"

"Your Majesty, I mean...I mean..." After hesitating for a moment, La Maramore gritted his teeth and said to Jérôme Bonaparte: "Your Majesty, our Sardinian army is full of people. I am willing to obey your command! What are your orders?"

"Instructions are out of the question! The Kingdom of Sardinia and the French Empire are allies who have experienced fierce battles together, rather than a superior-subordinate relationship! We only hope that the army of the Kingdom of Sardinia can hold on to your position! I don't require you to be there, as long as you can give us a little notice before escaping from the position!

Don't just run away like you did a few years ago (during the Revolution!)!

I'll be the first to say something ugly. If Sardinia escapes without notice after the war begins, I don't care whether it is intentional or unintentional. I will send him directly to the execution ground! "Jerome Bonaparte threatened La Maramore expressionlessly.

The Sardinian army during the 1948 Revolution was ruthless enough to abandon its own army. Jerome Bonaparte was really afraid that they would abandon the French army just like they abandoned their own country.

Jérôme Bonaparte's words made La Maramore show a look of shame on his face. He stood up and assured Jérôme Bonaparte that he and his army would defend Mount Inkerman to the death. on the left flank, not allowing any Russian troops to approach.

"With your words, I feel relieved!" A smile appeared on Jérôme Bonaparte's face, "Pellissier!"

"Yes!" Pellissier replied to Jérôme Bonaparte.

"How many undeployed artillery pieces can I have?" Jérôme Bonaparte asked Pélissier.

"There are still two regiments of artillery that have not been deployed!" Pelissier pondered for a while and said.

"Then divide the artillery of a regiment into Sardinia! At the same time, place some of the 30 heavy artillery pieces we just transported with them!" Jerome Bonaparte gave the order.

"Yes! Your Majesty!" Marshal Pelissier replied.

"Your Majesty the Emperor, thank you for your generosity!" La Maramore said excitedly to Jerome Bonaparte.

Since the Kingdom of Sardinia itself was a big poor country, the 30,000 troops they transported to Crimea only had a few artillery pieces. Jerome Bonaparte combined 40 heavy artillery pieces with an artillery regiment. Being transferred to their command can be said to have solved their problem of insufficient firepower.

La Maramore, who was stationed on the left wing of Inkerman Hill, was more confident in holding it there.

"Remember what I just said! If your army dares to escape from battle..."

Before Jérôme Bonaparte could finish speaking, La Maramore responded to Jérôme Bonaparte firmly: "Your Majesty, I promise you, you don't need to do anything! I will shoot them directly!" "

"Very good!" Jérôme Bonaparte nodded with satisfaction, and then said to La Maramore: "I can assure you that as long as we can defeat the Russian Empire, the problem of the Apennine Peninsula will be solved. No longer a tough nut to crack!”

Speaking of this, Jérôme Bonaparte kept silent, leaving La Maramore to figure out the rest!

Anyway, Jerome Bonaparte only said that the Apennines were no longer a thorny issue, but he did not say that he was an enemy of the Austrian Empire for the Kingdom of Sardinia.

French can be used as a diplomatic language because of its semantic ambiguity.

"Your Majesty, please rest assured! I know what to do!" La Maramore was obviously upset and "led astray" by Jérôme Bonaparte, and he replied to Jérôme Bonaparte confidently.

"Minister Maramore, I look forward to your performance!" Jérôme Bonaparte patted La Maramore on the shoulder to encourage him.

After Maramore left with the dream of Italian unification, Marshal Raglan and Omar Pasha came to the expeditionary force headquarters.

Jerome Bonaparte also received them with great enthusiasm.

Marshal Raglan, who was the main talker on the north bank, asked Jérôme Bonaparte if he knew about the transfer of the Russian Empire. Find Shuyuan www.zhaoshuyuan. com

Jérôme Bonaparte took the trouble to tell Marshal Raglan what he had said to La Maramore.

Later, Marshal Raglan told Jerome Bonaparte that if the North Bank was the main offensive target of the Russian Empire, he hoped that Jerome Bonaparte could send people to support the North Bank after it fell into crisis.

Jérôme immediately assured Raglan that if that time came, he would definitely send people to the north bank, but this would require the French army not to be delayed.

For now, Russia is more likely to attack from multiple points than to attack the North Shore alone.

[PS: As of the end of August, the ratio of the number of coalition forces to the Russian Imperial Army on the Crimean battlefield was 10,000:26w, of which the French army accounted for 90,000, the British army 40,000, the Sardinian army 30,000, and the Ottomans The army is important. 】
