Kornilov's counterattack was a bit sharp. At least Paskovich didn't expect that this "little boy" was so scheming. He was able to see through his strategy and was not fooled at all. Instead, he held on to the attack tightly.
The issue of heavy casualties remains unresolved, and the open and closed mouths demand the negation of the offensive strategy.
This makes Lao Qiu Ba very uncomfortable. Do you think he doesn't know that continuing to attack will cause huge casualties? Do you think he doesn't know that there is no benefit in continuing to put the army in Ineada?
In fact, with Paskovich's military quality, he is very clear about this simple problem. But the problem is that knowing it does not mean that he will do it. The reason is very simple. He is now riding a tiger and it is difficult to get off.
In the past, he pushed hard for the landing plan, but he always painted a wonderful blueprint and prospects for Nicholas I. The bullshit was now on the verge of being blown, and if it was not remedied quickly, the consequences would be very serious.
As a veteran who witnessed Nicholas I ascending to the throne step by step to consolidate imperial power, Paskovich knew the emperor's temper all too well. He can give you great trust, but you must also give it the best results.
Repay, otherwise he will not only take back everything you did before, but he will also severely punish and hold you responsible for letting him down.
Paskovich had seen too many people who had disappointed Nicholas I suffered miserably. This not only made him more and more in awe of the Tsar, but also constantly warned and reminded himself that he could not do anything in the future.
Follow in his footsteps!
Now, the landing plan has encountered a major setback. If you give up, don't even think about it. Nicholas I will tell you how terrible the wrath of thunder is. So Lao Qiu Ba must persist, no matter how great the sacrifice, he must continue to try, because
There is no turning back for him!
What Kornilov cannot accept now is his complete denial of the landing plan and his demand for an immediate termination of the attack attempt. The former is tantamount to denying everything about him and kicking him off the cliff, while the latter is cutting off his last
hope, allowing him to die in peace.
To put it bluntly, in Paskovich's view, Kornilov is adding insult to injury and is trying to punish him to death. Can you tell me whether he can accept this?
"It's so ridiculous! You just don't know what to say!"
Paskovich viciously paused his crutches again, almost roaring: "Why fight if you give up at the slightest setback and doubt everything? Why did Frederick the Great choose to persevere to the end in an extremely desperate situation?
That’s because he knows that only persistence can win!”
"If you choose to give up now, all your previous sacrifices will be in vain, and you will only suffer the ridicule of the Turks in vain! Our casualties here are high, will their losses be small? Duke Mikhail held them back at the Danube River line
With an army of one million, the Turks will collapse with every day's consumption."
"And our team of surprise soldiers is in the most uncomfortable and troublesome position for them. Now they can't think about the end. As long as we continue to persist and continue to attack and kill the enemy, they will collapse sooner or later!"
"On the contrary, if we leave now, it will only give the enemy the illusion that they have defeated us, making their morale unprecedentedly high, allowing them to continue to grit their teeth and persevere."
"Gentlemen, our mission is to win this war, not to ruin it because of a little difficulty! I believe that as long as we continue to persevere, we will definitely win!"
"Any remarks that are afraid of the enemy and advocate retreat are escapism and will ruin our victory. I will never accept it, and I believe you will never accept it either!"
Kornilov was so angry that he laughed. Damn, what is this? If you can win by gritting your teeth and persevering, then there are too many people in this world who can win and gain success. But the reality is that perseverance is not enough.
There are often good results, especially if you make the wrong choice and persist on the wrong path until you reach the end, the more you persist, the more tragic the end will be!
What's more, Paskovich's remarks themselves cannot be established. It is true that the sudden landing of their surprise troops in the hinterland of Turkey caused some repercussions, but the repercussions were very limited. The Turks immediately sent heavy troops to encircle and suppress them without seeing it. There was no point at all.
It means to panic.
What's more, the British and French forces soon arrived on the battlefield. As local forces became stronger and stronger, this so-called impact was not as severe as the reaction of the British and French forces arriving on the battlefield. At least according to the intelligence he received, the whole of Turkey was shocked. They
For the first time, I felt that defeating Russia was not a dream. Russia's ambitions could be thwarted by avenging its shame.
To put it bluntly, in terms of morale alone, the British and French participation in the war and their arrival on the battlefield had an unprecedentedly severe impact on both sides. The Russian army no longer had any advantage and was at an absolute disadvantage psychologically.
What's more, the main force of the British and French allied forces has not yet arrived on the battlefield. The British and French troops on the battlefield are just their vanguard. Once the main force arrives, Russia will be at an absolute disadvantage both in terms of military strength and psychology.
Only then will we receive an unprecedented defeat, okay?
Kornilov was about to object immediately, but Paskovich didn't give him a chance to speak at all. He leaned on a crutch with one hand and waved his other hand in an imposing manner: "I don't want to hear anything anymore."
Deny the nonsense about the landing operation plan and continue the offensive. As the commander-in-chief, I order all the troops to make corresponding preparations immediately and launch the attack at any time according to my orders!"
After finishing speaking, Paskovich walked away without looking back, without giving Kornilov a chance to interrupt. As for other onlookers, it was even less likely to stop Lao Qiu Ba. In the eyes of everyone, Lao Qiu Ba
Eighty-one limped and disappeared behind the door...
"My friend, I know you are not satisfied with this result, but this is Russia, this is reality, we have no ability to change, we can only accept it." Nasimov sighed deeply and patted Kornilov.
He said with emotion on his back.
"But I just can't accept it!" Kornilov's fists were clenched so tightly that his knuckles turned white, which showed how angry he was. "The facts are clearly there, and it's a dead end, but why?
He wants to go all the way to the dark side! He only thinks about the position under his butt, only thinks about his own reputation, and completely ignores the life and death of others... This so-called famous general is simply worse than a pig or a dog!"
Nassimov was shocked. This was the first time that he saw Kornilov so angry that he would swear. However, the words about pigs and dogs really hit home in his heart. He also felt that Lao Qiu was not as good as pigs and dogs!
