Chapter 641： Armageddon Inkerman Deployment

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

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

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

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

"His Royal Highness, it's not your fault!" Gorchakov said to Alexander II with a wry smile: "It's me who blindly thinks about the difficulties faced by the military, thus ignoring the economic and political difficulties!"

Although Gorchakov's remarks are somewhat wrong for Nicholas I, the objective financial difficulties of the Russian Empire are indeed a problem they have to face.

Even if the Slav soldiers under them are willing to bring their own dry food, they will attack the coalition forces for the sake of Nicholas I's imperial hegemony.

But the rifles, artillery, bullets, food, and medical equipment in their hands were not piled up with money.

People can have money, but they can't stop eating.

"Commander Gorchakov, it's not your fault!" Alexander II also blamed Gorchakov: "The situation the Russian Empire is facing now is all because of Sevastopol's Caused by a shameless monarch! When the imperial army takes Sevastopol, I will make him pay!"

Alexander clenched his fists while gritting his teeth, as if he was confident in the victory of the Russian Empire over the French Empire.

However, in the heart of Alexander II, his thoughts were very different from what he said. After all, as Jerome Bonaparte said, although the number of the Russian imperial army was larger than that of the coalition forces, it was Their only advantage is that they have more people. The coalition troops have better equipment and artillery than them, and the logistics support and the morale of the soldiers are also very sufficient.

Coupled with the fact that Sevastopol and its surroundings have been built into impregnable fortresses by them, the Russian Empire does not see any hope of victory at all.

According to Alexander II's own thoughts, he did not want to spend it in Sevastopol at all, or even in Crimea (this was the idea of ​​Alexander II before he became the tsar, and the idea of ​​Alexander II happened after he became the tsar) changed).

However, his father insisted that their loyal army would be consumed by the coalition here.

"Hey!" Gorchakov let out a sigh, he was sighing for the next fate of the Russian Imperial Army: "His Royal Highness, should we formulate the next attack plan?"

"Wait! Let's first gather all the troops in Crimea together!" 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 all over the front line of Perekop and Simferopol, except for a small number of troops who needed to stay in the fortress of Perekop to prevent surprise attacks, the remaining troops were mainly concentrated in Simferopol-Bakhchisaray-Saki, these three places are connected to each other to form a big triangle. The field hospitals originally stationed in Chankoy and Perekop were also relocated to Simfero. Bohr and Bakhchisaray.

Of course, the Russian Empire did not hide such a big move from the coalition forces living in Sevastopol.

When the French Guard dragoons dispatched to the vicinity of the Alma River met with the Cossack cavalry and captured the Cossacks, the cavalry who got the Russian Imperial Army's movements from the Cossacks quickly returned to the Sevastopol fortress with the news Reported to Marshal Pelissier.

After receiving the news, Marshal Perlisier left the headquarters without hesitation and went to the field hospital near the coastline, where he found Jerome Bonaparte, who was teaching British medical staff how to prevent and treat cholera in future generations.

At this time, Jerome Bonaparte was wearing a white coat and a white doctor's cap designed by himself and said to the volunteers below: "This is the last wave of the cholera virus. We must improve Be vigilant. From now on, limestone must be sprinkled around the hospital, while drinking water that is not contaminated.

For those soldiers with symptoms of cholera, we must give them fluids in the first place to maintain the electrolyte balance in their bodies..."

"dong dong dong"

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

I don't know who is going this way!

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

Marshal Perissier pushed open the door and stood in front of Jerome Bonaparte.

"Your Majesty, can I take up some of your time! I have something I want to discuss with you!" Marshal Perlisier bowed to Jerome Bonaparte, and politely greeted Jerome Bonaparte said.

The appearance of Pelissier made Jerome Bonaparte immediately aware that there may be new military operations in the Russian Empire, otherwise, he would not disturb himself at this time.

"Yeah! Good!" Jerome Bonaparte nodded, turned to them with a smile and said, "I have already told you what I should say, and the rest is up to you!"

After speaking, Jerome Bonaparte and Perissier quickly left the room. On the way back to the expeditionary army headquarters, Marshal Perissier briefly reported the news from the dragoons to Jerome Bonaparte. .

"The Russian Empire is approaching Sevastopol?" Jerome Bonaparte, who heard the news, just frowned slightly, and then said to himself.

"That's right! Your Majesty!" Pelissier nodded and replied, "I suspect that they will most likely launch an attack on Sevastopol in the next week or two!"

"If they really attacked, that would be great!" Jerome Bonaparte said to Pellisier with a smile: "I am not afraid of them attacking, I am afraid that they will not attack!"

"You're right!" Marshal Perlisier nodded with empathy.

If the Russian Empire does not attack, then it will prove that they want to use space for time as they did in the first place, thereby dragging down the logistics of the coalition forces.

In this way, the coalition forces really have to consider what they can do as soon as possible. Jerome Bonaparte does not want to fight a terrible 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 overwhelmed by long supply lines.

Of course, once the Russian Empire withdraws from Crimea, it also means that Jerome Bonaparte's plan to humiliate the Russian soldiers at the military parade and induce Nicholas I to become angry will be completely bankrupt. .

Fortunately, the Russian army did not retreat, but attacked according to Jerome 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 inspired by Nicholas.

Jerome Bonaparte, who was grateful to Nicholas I, decided to "repay" Nicholas I with one victory after another.

He believed that with the successive victories of the coalition forces, Nicholas I would surely see the tsars of all dynasties sooner than he had in history.

After all, it was only at this time that historical coalition forces landed on the Crimean peninsula.

Jerome Bonaparte, who returned to the French headquarters, did not want to be slighted at all. He had just entered the office, and immediately called Jerome Paterson, and issued an invitation to the three (four) subordinates of the expeditionary force to him. ) an order from a teacher.

Jerome Paterson immediately rode to the quarters of the divisions and delivered the news to them.

Conrobert (the 1st Division), Bosquet (the 2nd Division), Reigno (the latest to arrive at the 4th Division), and the 3rd Division, also served by Marshal Perlisier, appeared in the headquarters together.

[ps: Now the number of a division of the French Expeditionary Force has actually seriously exceeded the traditional division.

Some are similar to the reorganization divisions under the bald man, and the number is above the division and below the army. 】

"Sit down! Everyone!" Jerome Bonaparte invited everyone other than Perissier to sit down, and then nodded at Perissier.

"Everyone, we have received information! The Russian Imperial Army has recently carried out a large-scale mobilization!" As the acting commander of the French Expeditionary Force (the commander of the expeditionary force and the chief of the general staff are still St. Arnault, this is Jérôme S. Bonaparte gave St. Arnault the last "privilege") Marshal Pelissier stood in front of the military map of the Crimea peninsula hanging, pointing to the sign on the map and talking eloquently: "According to our Information from the captured Cossack cavalry shows that the current Russian Imperial Army is gathering here (Bakhchisarai) and here (Simferopol), and their The force may exceed 200,000!"

(The current Pelissier does not know that there are also troops in Saki.)

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

Marshal Reno, who succeeded Marshal Pelissier in the defense of Mount Inkerman, believed that the Russian Imperial Army would most likely attack from north to south along the lines of their attack.

The defense of the north bank was undertaken by the Xingying and Turkish families. The French Empire should send its troops to support it after the war began, and at the same time send a force to Yevpatoria.
