It's a pity that Nassimov knows that scolding can't solve any problems. Even if they scold all eight generations of Paskovich's ancestors, what will happen? That old guy has made up his mind to go all the way to the dark side at first glance, let alone scolding him.
, it’s useless to hit him.
Kornilov also understood this. The reason why he lost his composure was that he was too angry and had to vent his anger. He couldn't get rid of the anger in his heart without scolding him.
The two famous naval admirals looked at each other in silence for a long time. Finally, Kornilov sighed: "At this point, I can only act as a doctor and write to His Majesty to explain the situation here and see if there can be any improvement...
…”
Kornilov did not have any confidence when he said this. Obviously he also knew that Nicholas I trusted Paskovich more. Even if he said it ten thousand times sincerely, it would not make any sense. That emperor
I can't listen to it.
Nasimov also shook his head slightly. He also knew that this was just doing their best to obey fate, but this was also the only thing they could do now. At least it was worthy of their conscience.
Just when the two suffering brothers were relatively speechless and helpless, the adjutant suddenly came in and reported: "General, His Excellency Grand Duke Constantine and Prince Menshikov have arrived and invite you to go to the captain's cabin for a meeting immediately."
Kornilov and Nasimov were both stunned. Why did these two people suddenly come to Ineada?
Kornilov and Nassimov couldn't help but feel a headache when they thought that these two were non-stop masters. The current situation was already complicated enough, and it was uncomfortable enough to have Paskovich messing around.
Yes, now if they come over again, won't they explode?
"Damn it, has our good luck run out?" Nasimov sighed, holding his forehead.
Kornilov felt similar to him. He really felt that all the good luck in his life had been exhausted in these few months. Now Paskovich, Grand Duke Konstantin and Menshikov are three troublesome people.
The gathering of their talents together was like a gathering of three elites. He doubted whether Ineada's Russian army could withstand the torment of these three men. It might collapse tomorrow!
However, when Kornilov and Nasimov rushed to the conference room, the situation was not as bad as they imagined, although they could see at a glance that Grand Duke Constantine and Menshikov felt like they were together.
It's awkward. Neither of them likes the other. It's as if the other is just a piece of stinking shit in their eyes. Even looking at them makes them feel sick.
However, although the two people were awkward, they did not fight and criticize each other as before. Instead, they were very calm. This made them confused. Could it be that the sun was rising in the west?
"Ivan Fedorovich's offensive suffered a heavy setback? And then he wants to continue attacking?"
Menshikov's voice was obviously weak when he spoke. It was obvious that the old eunuch's poor health was not a lie, nor was he deliberately pretending to avoid responsibility for the failure of the negotiations.
Kornilov replied expressionlessly: "Yes, Your Excellency. In the meeting just now, he decided to continue the attack until the last drop of our blood is exhausted."
"Is he crazy? He lost five thousand people in one attack. If we attack twice more, our men and horses are not enough for him!" Archduke Constantine exclaimed.
It's just that his surprise was more like an act, as if he was deliberately emphasizing something and deliberately pretending to be surprised.
However, his attitude was obviously in favor of Kornilov, which made the latter and Nassimov a little puzzled as to what this versatile Grand Duke wanted to do.
While Kornilov and Nasimov were holding their breath and thinking, Menshikov interjected: "The losses are too heavy. We must not let the soldiers die in vain. Now every person and every soldier is very precious, and we must not let them die in vain."
Uselessly wasted!"
Well, if Grand Duke Constantine was the only one who had this attitude, Kornilov and Nassimov wouldn't be too surprised, but if even Menshikov expressed opposition, they really couldn't figure it out?
Did these two people take the wrong medicine? Or did they open the door in the wrong way when they entered, and met Northwest or?
When did these two selfish guys become so reasonable and considerate of the overall situation?
Kornilov and Nasimov exchanged glances. It was obvious that Monk Zhanger was confused, but in any case, their statements still made them a little happy.
No matter how you say it, no matter what the purpose of Grand Duke Constantine and Menshikov spoke like this, they are always biased towards them. Maybe they can persuade the old Qiu Ba whose head is harder than granite?
So Kornilov and Nassimov immediately replied: "We said the same thing, but the Commander-in-Chief firmly disagreed. To say that opposing the continued offensive is escapism means refusing to advance against the enemy and ruining victory..."
"Nonsense!"
“That’s bullshit!”
Menshikov and Grand Duke Constantine started to curse together, especially Menshikov who also started to curse directly.
Well, this really shocked Kornilov and Nassimov, and they increasingly suspected that the two people in front of them were fake.
However, before they could ask clearly, Menshikov waved his hand and said with great force: "The top priority is to stop all reckless behavior. Our troops in Ineada are limited and we must not waste them easily. I think we should first
Stick to your position and reconnoiter the enemy's situation as soon as possible. If the enemy in front of us is particularly powerful and cannot be dealt with by our existing forces, then we should withdraw decisively and we can't waste it in vain anymore!"
Grand Duke Constantine also echoed: "I think the sooner the troops withdraw, the better. Ineada has become a tasteless piece of food that is a pity to throw away. Continuing to stay here is a waste of supplies besides sacrificing in vain... Domestic supplies
The supply is already very tight, so it’s not cost-effective to maintain such a useless thing!”
The attitudes of the two men were surprisingly consistent. Although neither of them explicitly stated that the landing plan was unworkable, they both meant to withdraw their troops and leave.
Kornilov and Nassimov looked at each other again, feeling puzzled again and increasingly confused as to what was going on.
But it doesn't matter if they don't understand, as long as these two people have enough weight to convince or simply terminate the previous battle plan. They immediately took the old eunuch and Grand Duke Constantine to find Paskovich and started persuasion work again.
"Alexander Sergeyevich, when did you become such a mother-in-law? I will never change the plan that has been approved by His Majesty. It is useless what you say. As long as I am still the commander-in-chief, I will continue to fight.
