It can only be said that Li Xiao made a mistake of subjectivism. Historically, Russia did not launch troops into Moldavia and Wallachia until July. But as soon as the army gets food and fodder, it must be prepared first. Otherwise, there will be hundreds of thousands of soldiers.
Open your mouth and drink the northwest wind!
Especially considering the poor geographical environment and traffic conditions in Moldavia and Wallachia. In March, there was a muddy land. In the early years, when polar bears and turkeys fought here, they suffered enough from the mud.
It can be said that the key reason why the polar bears failed to reach the walls of Constantinople was that transportation and logistics could not keep up.
The polar bear has suffered many losses. Even if Nicholas I was worried about the highly contagious disease of revolution, he still had to give the military time to prepare.
Therefore, it is inevitable to start in July. Don't we have to prepare and warm up in the past few months? In fact, Kornilov convened the meeting to make warm-up preparations to report the situation.
"Colonel Trofimov and Colonel Spangenov must strengthen material reserves and reserve enough food and medicine before July. Weapons and ammunition must also be inspected one by one. As the vanguard of the navy, once the order is issued,
You will be the first batch to enter Moldavia!"
"Lieutenant Colonel Platonov, your mission is to strengthen security, especially to strengthen the identification of spies and enemy agents. Our military preparations need to be highly confidential, and the British and French must not be aware of it before we take action!"
Finally, Kornilov turned to Li Xiao, Vishniak and Petukhov, and said slowly: "As for you, gentlemen, on the one hand, you must also actively prepare for war. In addition, according to Mark.
Lieutenant General Mikheyevich ordered that your troops should mobilize elite forces to enter Moldavia and Wallachia in advance to conduct pre-war reconnaissance work!"
When Kornilov said this, his tone was heavy and his face was not very good-looking. It was obvious that he did not like to give this task to Li Xiao and the others.
The reason is very simple, this task is a bit tricky! And it's not particularly necessary.
Why do you say that? The troublesome thing is that anti-Russian sentiment is extremely strong in both Wallachia and Moldavia. Not to mention the Russians, even the former pro-Russian faction, it is difficult to survive.
According to the intelligence sent back by the secret spies in the third part, both principalities were hunting down and deporting Russian citizens on a large scale, and even people who looked like polar bears were among the deportations.
It can be said that the Russians are really just street rats over there and are in a very difficult situation. Under such circumstances, ordering the 748th Regiment and the Cossacks to conduct reconnaissance activities deep into enemy territory is not particularly difficult.
Not only is it difficult, but the benefits are almost better than nothing. Why do you say this? Because Russia is actually clear about Wallachia and Moldavia. In the past half century, the Russian army has been surrounding this area with Turkey.
People are in trouble, and I know everything I need to know about military maps, geography, and customs.
Especially after the Eighth Russo-Turkish War, the two principalities won the power of autonomy and were almost only nominal vassals of Turkey. Over the past ten years, Russia has supported the pro-Russian Leading Party and even conducted on-site inspections by diplomats from the consulate.
Even the underpants of these two countries are clean.
Although, after the revolutions broke out in Wallachia and Moldavia, the pro-Russian faction suffered heavy losses and their relevant intelligence capabilities were greatly reduced, the military potential and mobilization capabilities of these two countries were only at that level. In just a few months, they could
How much of a difference is there?
It's not that Kornilov is arrogant and complacent and underestimates the enemy's carelessness, but that he simply feels that the invasion of Moldavia and Wallachia is more like an armed parade. As soon as the Russian army arrives, the enemy will either flee or be captured.
.I’m afraid there are only a handful of truly tough battles, so don’t worry at all.
Under such circumstances, it is really inexplicable to send the 748th Regiment and the Cossacks to conduct reconnaissance. How much benefit can be gained? Even if we really want to conduct pre-war reconnaissance, a few months in advance is enough. The intelligence of the reconnaissance three or four months in advance is already available.
What’s the use of July?
In Kornilov's view, this was obviously to send the 748th Regiment and the Cossacks to their deaths. It was simply an evil intention!
Even Kornilov didn't need to think carefully to know who ordered this disgusting plan. I'm afraid it was the revenge of the eunuch who had suffered a big loss before, otherwise his confidant Mark Mikheyevich
The lieutenant general personally gave direct orders to two inconspicuous troops?
Hehe, this time Kornilov actually wronged Menshikov. The old eunuch’s evil idea this time was really not the fault of the old eunuch, because the old eunuch was really too busy and had no time to talk to Li Xiao.
The old eunuch was busy arguing with Grand Duke Constantine, and was busy turning Grand Duke Constantine's reform plan into a piece of paper step by step. The two sides fought in the Admiralty again and again, which was really exciting. Anyway, all the dignitaries in St. Petersburg were
It's a great pleasure to be busy eating melons and watching a show.
The person who really came up with this disgusting idea was the old eunuch's rival, Grand Duke Constantine. His life has been extremely sad recently. Menshikov almost completely rejected his reform plan as soon as he came back. If it weren't for Lazarev's help
After saying good words in front of Nicholas I and retaining the construction of two steamships, one each for the Baltic Fleet and the Black Sea Fleet, the old eunuch could really cut off none of them.
At that time, Archduke Constantine probably had to pawn his underwear as a result of the loss. Even so, he was also living a very sad life. He could only reluctantly lose the deposit for the machinery and equipment he had just ordered, and he could only dismiss the foreign technicians he had just hired.
The trouble is, right here, his several factories are struggling to survive, with little improvement in a year and a half.
In this case, Grand Duke Constantine knew that he had to prove himself and make his father happy. Only when his father is happy can his life be easier.
So how do you please your dad and make him happy?
The only way to deal with Li Xiao is to punish him. The only way to teach Li Xiao is to kill him, and Nicholas I will definitely be very happy. So Archduke Constantine instructed the Ministry of the Navy to issue a order to the Black Sea Fleet to order the 748th Regiment.
The order to die.
Then, Menshikov naturally saw the little actions of Grand Duke Constantine. Under the reminder of old Adlerberg, he immediately realized the true intention of Grand Duke Constantine. Naturally, the old eunuch could not let the little fat man
Go as far as you want.
Then he immediately gave Lieutenant General Mark Mikheyevich the personal order to repeat Grand Duke Constantine's order, and packaged everything as his own initiative, directly stealing Grand Duke Constantine's limelight.
Of course, the old eunuch did not forget to bring in the private goods, and he added a touch to the order by adding Colonel Petukhov, whom he hated very much, to the list of people to die...
