Li Xiao sometimes feels that he is really conflicted. He obviously just wants to keep the three-acre territory of Wallachia, so if Britain and France go to Sevastopol to cause trouble as they did in history, it is naturally impossible to attack them.
By focusing on Wallachia, the pressure will naturally be reduced.
But who told him to have a good relationship with Kornilov and Nassimov and treat them as friends! He couldn't just watch the other party lose his life just like in history, so he gave them a little trick.
A good way.
Of course, it doesn’t mean that he is completely cheating himself, because if the control of the Black Sea is in the hands of the Black Sea Fleet, the restrictions on Britain and France are still very large. If there is no control of the sea, then the fleets and armies of Britain and France can attack wherever they want, the entire Black Sea
The entire coast is within their attack range.
In this way, whether it is Crimea, Wallachia or Moldavia, they are all within the attack range of Britain and France. You must always beware of them landing a sneak attack from a weak position on your flank.
Given Russia's current international environment, which is like a broken sieve, it can be said that it is surrounded by enemies on all sides and has military pressure from all directions. How can it be possible to cover all aspects with such a small amount of troops?
If you spread out the troops evenly like spreading pancakes, it is very likely that it will look like there are troops stationed in all directions, but all directions will be like paper. It will be broken with just one poke. If you encounter the main force of Britain, France or Turkey,
, that is more passive.
The control of the Black Sea is in your hands, and the British and French fleets cannot enter. There is only one direction to worry about - Bulgaria. The enemy's main force can only come from this place, and it is impossible to jump to your flank or surprise you with a sneak attack.
you.
Even if the pressure in the surrounding areas of Wallachia is very high, there is no way that these hundreds of thousands of Russian troops can be eaten in one bite. With the fortifications built by Li Xiao and others in advance, as long as the Russian troops cannot hold out, they can slowly fight against the enemy.
deal with.
In fact, because they have control of the sea, the Black Sea coast is a free hunting ground for the Black Sea Fleet. Instead, they can continuously send small groups of troops to land on the enemy's rear from the flanks to carry out harassment or raid operations.
This was much more proactive, so even if it was a bit of a trap for himself, Li Xiao's final choice was to block the Bosporus, forcing the British, French and Turkish coalition to attack the Danube River line.
Li Xiao's overall strategy was highly praised by Dmitri, especially the tactic of laying mines to block the strait, which was amazing because no one had ever thought of doing this before. The key is that Li Xiao could still manage to achieve this goal technically.
.
It's really amazing that a cheap, local weapon like mines can make the arrogant Royal Navy, no, even the French Navy feel helpless!
"We can only stop them for a while," but Li Xiao was not very happy. He replied sadly: "There has never been a weapon that can conquer the world. Mines are now more effective, but the British and French have never encountered this trouble.
.Once they realize the problem, they are very clever and can come up with a solution!"
As he spoke, Li Xiao sighed again: "It's only a matter of time. As long as they are ruthless enough and let a large number of ships break through, they can break through! Sooner or later, the control of the Black Sea will be lost!"
Dmitri was stunned. He did not expect Li Xiao to be so pessimistic about the prospects of the war. You must know that both domestic and Wallachia are overjoyed by the brilliant achievements of the Black Sea Fleet. They all agree that the Black Sea Fleet is very good and powerful.
Not to mention suppressing the British and French fleets, at least competing with them will not be a big problem.
But Li Xiao believed that the Black Sea Fleet was no match for the British and French fleets, and believed that the control of the Black Sea would change hands sooner or later. If the blindly optimistic guys in the country knew about this, they would probably piss someone off.
However, Dmitri believes that Li Xiao's analysis and judgment are generally correct. The control of the Black Sea will indeed change hands sooner or later. Once Britain and France control the control of the Black Sea, what awaits them may be a nightmare!
As much fun as they beat up the Turks at Sinop Port before, it would be equally fun for Britain and France to beat them up at that time. Especially when thinking about the tragic situation of Sinop Port being bombarded, this is very likely to be the future fate of Russian ports.
.
Dmitri didn't think Britain and France would be polite to them. It was one thing to condemn Russia for massacring civilians. When it was their turn, let alone massacre civilians, genocide was a normal method. Whether it was right or wrong only depended on whether it was beneficial enough to them.
.
If the benefits are sufficient, then even if you commit countless crimes, they are not worth mentioning. On the contrary, if you harm their interests, you will just trample an ant to death while walking, which is a heinous crime that is outraged by both humans and gods.
Dmitry has a deep understanding of the ethics of those things, because Russia did it this way before, but at that time, Russia had many friends in the world and had a certain right to speak. Unlike now, when everyone hates everyone, even a friend
I couldn't find any, and no one could help me at all.
Li Xiao suddenly said: "Before we lose control of the sea, we'd better inflict heavy damage on the enemy and consume as much of their vitality as possible!"
Dmitri completely agrees with this point. Who doesn’t want to eliminate a large number of enemies? The question is how to do it? Isn’t this possibility too small just by relying on passive defense on the battlefield?
Li Xiao sighed again and said: "It's not impossible, but I'm a little worried about hurting Tianhe and possibly killing ten thousand enemies and damaging eight thousand..."
Dmitri was stunned and asked curiously: "Is there such a way?"
Li Xiao nodded and said, "Yes! And it's guaranteed to work!"
But he didn't particularly want to use it, because once he used those tricks, it would be like opening Pandora's box. God knows what would come out of it, and one of them might even trap him, so he was very hesitant.
!
"Tell me, what can you do?" Dmitri was very interested.
Li Xiao looked at him but still hesitated to speak. After Dmitri's constant urging, he said hesitantly: "Disease is the best weapon. I told you before that the lethality of infectious diseases such as plague is far greater than that of guns."
Cannons, so if you want to kill the enemy, you can definitely make a fuss from this aspect!"
Dmitri was stunned and asked curiously: "How to do it?"
"Contaminate water sources, and deliberately give the clothes or excrement of patients with infectious diseases such as plague to the enemy. If necessary, you can also throw rats and other things that may be infected with plague and other diseases into their residences..."
Dmitri was immediately shocked, because this idea left him speechless, and more importantly, this trick was too damaging...
