Kuza still has too little political experience, and he misjudged the situation and has not fully understood the details of Jan Constantine. If he really knew what this old fox had done, he would definitely not deal with it so casually.
.
He felt that Jan Konstantin should not have thought that George Stribe and others would run away. Without the support of these "pig teammates", the strength of the First Army was simply not enough to fight him, so in order to save his life, Jan Konstantin
Standing could only surrender.
But his calculation was completely wrong. Jan Constantine did not expect George Stribe and others to run so fast and suddenly. He was indeed caught off guard. However, he was not completely without a way out, nor did he put all his hope away.
Put them all on the First Army.
This old fox had too many retreat options and didn't care about the First Army at all, so Kuza wanted to play tough with him, but his reaction was a hundred times more intense than Kuza expected!
When Kuza's troops were preparing to forcibly take over the arsenal, they were immediately met with a strong counterattack by the First Army. The two sides engaged in a fierce battle and suffered hundreds of casualties in just one hour.
The First Army relied on its solid fortifications and surging firepower to repulse Kuza's troops, causing him heavy losses.
"What?" Kuza was also shocked by the result, "That old fox reacted so violently?"
"Yes, they also lied, saying that your order is invalid. They also do not recognize the legitimacy of the new revolutionary committee. Anyone who dares to approach the arsenal will be deemed illegal and will be mercilessly attacked!"
Kuza was stunned, because this reaction was too intense, and he felt there was something wrong with it. Logically speaking, a political veteran like Jan Constantine wouldn't be so desperate, okay?
"They also said that you should immediately step down to accept investigation... Any unilateral change in the political situation in Bucharest will be regarded as a coup and betrayal... They also ordered you to immediately release the Fourth Army under house arrest..."
snort!
Kuza snorted heavily, because he could tell that Jan Constantine would never compromise with him. The other party was going to fight him to the death! But, he didn't understand the other party's confidence at all. Could he really
Do you think the First Army can withstand his siege?
Just when Kuza was confused, he suddenly felt his feet tremble, and then the house began to shake violently. A few seconds later, a loud noise almost deafened him. It took a full minute for him to come back to his senses.
Come.
"what happened!"
He rushed to the balcony, raised his head, looked around, and loudly asked the stunned sentry downstairs.
But no one could answer his question because no one knew what happened. They only saw a huge mushroom cloud rising in the distance.
It took more than an hour before the messenger brought the latest news: "The arsenal exploded. The First Army blew up the arsenal and began to break out of the city... We were not in a hurry to stop them, they had already run away!"
"
"What!"
This time, Kuza changed his mind because the arsenal was so important that it was impossible to fight without arms. The reason why he immediately went to rob the arsenal was because he wanted to control the arsenal and arm more Bucharest citizens. Only in this way could he follow
The Russian army was circling.
And now the arsenal was blown up by Jan Constantine, which instantly gave Kuza a chill!
Kuza couldn't sit still anymore and rushed to the scene immediately, hoping that the situation would not be as bad as he imagined.
The situation at the scene was indeed not that bad. Although the arms depot area was filled with flames and almost all the buildings were burning, only a small area was razed to the ground, accounting for only one-third of the area of the depot. Such an explosion
The arsenal, which was not really that powerful, was detonated!
Kuza asked naturally: "Did the enemy only have time to detonate part of the munitions? Or did you stop them in time to continue the explosion?"
The on-site commander shook the mixture of gunpowder and dust off his head and said with a wry smile: "You misunderstood. We didn't expect that the enemy would detonate the arsenal. When the explosion occurred, we were all stunned and didn't even know it happened.
What."
This answer made Kuza frown, because it was completely unreasonable. If Jan Constantine was really desperate, he would definitely not blow up only part of the arsenal.
half.
But this kind of unreasonable thing happened at the scene. Obviously, there must be something wrong with the bombing of the arsenal.
"Where are the people from the First Army?" Kuza asked with a tigerish face.
"Most of them have already broken through and ran away... The explosion was so violent that we were all stunned. We didn't expect that they would take the opportunity to break out..."
Kuza was not interested in hearing the commander's explanation at all. It was not that he was dissatisfied with his performance, but that he was more anxious to find out the truth of the matter.
He asked a little impatiently: "Don't you have a tongue or two left?"
The commander quickly stood up and replied: "That's true. We caught some of the enemies who had no time to escape!"
Kuza nodded, then raised his head and glanced at the burning building again, and ordered: "Put out the fire immediately. By the way, let the soldiers pay attention to safety to prevent the gunpowder in the building from being detonated again..."
Who would have thought that the commander directly interrupted him: "General, we have checked all the buildings and they are all empty. There is nothing inside!"
Kuza's mood suddenly became heavier. The worst guess was about to be confirmed. It was obvious that the enemy had only blown up part of the munitions, and most of the weapons stored inside should have been moved away.
The results of interrogating the prisoners of the First Army were also very similar. The prisoners confessed that they had transported a large amount of arms, including almost all rifles and artillery, as well as most of the gunpowder and projectiles, in accordance with the orders of the commander of the First Army. They were bombed
What is destroyed is only the little bit that cannot be taken away in the end.
"Jan Constantine!"
Cuza gritted his teeth and hammered the table. He was so angry because he never expected that Yang Constantine would secretly transport most of the arms. Of course, this was not the most irritating thing, what made him angry the most
Yes, since you can’t take away the last remaining gunpowder, don’t blow it up!
These precious gunpowders were really important to him, and yet Jan Constantine actually squandered them all like this, preferring to blow them up rather than leave them to him. How cruel was this!
"In other words, all the weapons are gone?" Kogelniceanu asked with a shocked look on his face.
Kuza nodded dejectedly, and then said with a wry smile: "And the main force of the First Army escaped... This bastard Jan Constantine is really a decisive and ruthless person!"
