After leaving the Great Tent of Nicholas I, Prince Enfiglo invited Duravievsky to his tent, and Prince Enfiglo poured a glass of sweet vodka for Duravievsky, and Prince Enfiglo asked leisurely: "How is Marshal Duravievsky doing lately?" Your son-in-law has already withdrawn from the Siberian side, and of the six Cossack cavalry divisions, only your son-in-law Dovvetsky's 3rd Guards Cavalry Division has returned, and all the rest have taken refuge in Chekov, it seems that Chekov's influence is really not ordinary! ”

Duravievsky did not understand what Prince Enfiglo meant, in Moscow the two were almost strangers? Why are you so close in front of the fortress of Gozów?

Prince Enfiglo saw Duraviewski's question, so he smiled slightly: "Don't understand, right? Nikolai didn't like us princes getting too close to the generals below, Chekov just didn't understand that, but I can guarantee Chekov's loyalty to the Empire! ”

Duravievsky looked at Prince Enfiglo in front of him inexplicably, he couldn't understand very much, what loyalty did a guy who was frantically attacking Russia and want to establish himself as king have to the Russian Empire? Could it be that Prince Enfiglo is hinting at something?

Prince Enfiglo shook the vodka in his cup and smiled slightly: "Lin Haijiang of the Chinese Empire is not an ordinary person, he is a complete careerist, but this careerist knows how to measure very well, it is impossible to destroy Russia as it is for Russia to destroy the Chinese Empire, the Russian Empire has a vast territory, but most of it is a barren land of permafrost, which is of little effect on the Chinese Empire, and the Chinese Empire has a large population and is equally vast, and we do not have so much military strength to maintain the strategy, The so-called policies of relying on the Chinese to contain China are nothing more than empty talk, and interests are interests after all, and in the face of the great interests of the nation-state, these things will sometimes be vulnerable, just as we can win them over with power and money. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo”

Prince Enfiglo took a sip of the wine and said: "Lin Haijiang will not really support Chekov, all he needs is a strategic buffer, and where can Chekov develop in Siberia?" If Lin Haijiang likes that desert Siberia, he will give it to him, whatever he tosses wherever he wants! But now that Nicholas I has all his Siberia in his eyes, will the British and the French really cooperate with us? This is obviously impossible, the British and French support our arms is nothing more than to let us gnaw on the hard bone of Germany, where are the main forces of the allied forces of Britain, France, the Netherlands, Spain, Portugal, Greece and other countries on the Western Front and the Germans, the Italians are at war with Austria-Hungary, and the Ottoman Empire is harassing our borders, all this is obvious, if there is no roadblock of the fortress of Gozów, we can smoothly invade the territory of Germany, then if we are Wilhelm I, what will we do? ”

Duravievsky hesitated for a moment and said: "I will mobilize all the troops that can be mobilized on the Western Front, turn over and defeat us first, and then reorganize on the spot, choose defense or peace talks with Britain and France!" ”

Prince Enfiglo nodded with satisfaction and said: "The British and the French are looking forward to us being greatly weakened, it can be said that our biggest enemy is not the Chinese Empire, nor the German Empire, nor is it the Chekov gang!" ”

Duraviewski looked at Prince Enfiglo with a serious expression and knew that he was not talking about it, so he quietly waited for Prince Enfiglo to solve the mystery.

For Duravievsky's patience, Prince Enfiglo just smiled knowingly and said: "If the Chinese Empire wants the Far East, give him the Far East, and if Britain and France want to dominate Europe, let them dominate, our biggest enemy is not from the outside, but from our inside, this enemy is personally cutting off the great Russian Empire, if we turn a blind eye, then there may be no Russian Empire after this war!" ”

As soon as Duraviewski heard Prince Enfiglo say that our enemy came from within, he immediately understood everything, and Prince Enfiglo was the most powerful competitor besides the Nicholas family, which was the main reason why Nicholas I did not leave Prince Enfiglo and others in the principality or Moscow during the expedition.

Prince Enfiglo's answer can be said to be Duravievsky's worst scenario, he never thought of opposing Nicholas I, although Nicholas I was arrogant and lacked the vision of a monarch, and even a little stupid, but there is no doubt that Nicholas I was still a competent tsar, and how much strength is hidden behind the Nicholas family, I am afraid that no one can figure out now, once the coup fails, then what awaits Russia will be a river of blood, and the Russian Empire is likely to collapse into many small countries, The age of empires will be gone forever.

Duraviewski is not a stupid person, he knows that since Prince Enfiglo can have such a showdown with him, then there are not many options for him, either follow Prince Enfiglo to pull Nicholas I into the water, or he will not be able to get out of this tent at all, the footsteps outside the tent have begun to become harsh at this moment, it seems that the people outside will rush into the tent with a sharp knife at any time and end up with themselves?

Duravievsky knew that although he was the nominal commander of the Russian army at the moment, he had Nicholas I and the Grand Duke listed as princes, and there were many generals and generals, so how much weight did he have? Duravievsky still had it in mind.

After a slight hesitation for a while, Duravievsky said solemnly: "Your Excellency, I agree and support you, please accept my allegiance!" ”

Prince Enfiglo nodded with satisfaction and said, "Duravievsky, you must know that everything I do is for Russia!" ”

Duraviewski knew that Prince Enfiglo was talking about the so-called window dressing, and he had heard too many high-sounding words, was it possible for his status in Russia to be improved? He is already a field marshal of the Russian army, a knighthood or a fief? But Prince Enfiglo didn't reveal any wishes to make a wish? Duraviewski is a little flustered at the moment? Because it all seems particularly counterintuitive? In the case of Duravievsky, it is most appropriate for Prince Enfiglo to choose to kill him, no matter which time the centralized change in Russian history is not a river of blood?

Duravievsky said cautiously: "Then what are you going to do, Your Royal Highness?" ”

Prince Enfiglo turned the ring on his hand and said: "The reality is still very immature, we have to wait for Nikolai's indiscriminate command to cause heavy casualties to the army, so that the officers and soldiers at the grassroots level are seriously dissatisfied with him, the Tsar, the Moscow side will start with us at the same time, after taking the throne, I will rush back to St. Petersburg for the coronation ceremony, and then I will sign an armistice agreement with the Chinese Empire, exterminate or reach an agreement with the Chekov gang, and withdraw from the Entente, from one of the belligerents to a wait-and-see, Maintain as much military strength as possible in order to fight for a place after the war. ”

In the early morning of the next day, after a night of tossing and turning, the worried Duravievsky had just fallen asleep when he was awakened by the sound of dense artillery.

Duraviewski hurriedly changed his clothes and came to the big tent of Nicholas I, which was already crowded at this moment, including Prince Enfiglo and others, who came one after another, with a confused expression.

Nicholas I, who was holding a cup of coffee, greeted everyone with a smile: "The staff officers have formulated a plan to advance with repeated destruction by firepower, I want to see how effective this new plan is, let's have a cup of coffee!" ”

Duravievsky looked at the many staff officers with crying faces and understood what was going on, Nicholas I showed his talent in order to establish his absolute prestige in the army, so he put aside the generals and carried out the so-called new plan taken out by the staff officers alone, Duravievsky launched an attack on the Gozów fortress, and the artillery equipped by the Russian army has not yet been able to destroy the opponent's permanent fortifications. The casualties will be very heavy, which is not something that can be easily attempted, which is tantamount to joking with human life.

However, Prince Enfiglo stopped Duraviewski with his gaze, and dozens of generals sat in the big tent with their own hearts and drank coffee absentmindedly.

The dense artillery fire and the smoke of the explosion completely obscured Zheng Zhipeng's vision in the direction of the main fort, and the unique sound of the Imperial II heavy machine gun and general machine gun had already sounded in the direction of the No. 2 Guard Fort Group, as if the Russian army's offensive had begun? However, the main fort has not yet received communication from the direction of Fort 2.

Speaking of the communication system of the Gozów Fortress, Zheng Zhipeng can only describe it in two words: magical! Because the fortress has one of the most advanced communication systems in the world, he can communicate directly with the commander of each fortification group after the fortress is within the confines of the fortress, rather than using encrypted Morse code for communication.

Regarding this advanced and magical communication system, Zheng Zhipeng heard from the engineer of the General Administration of Science and Technology who installed it say that in 1859, the head of state sent someone from the United States to get a man named Antonio? The contribution of the Italian old man of Meucci, the name of this system is called the telephone!

However, although the telephone is advanced, it is not perfect, with the increase of distance, the signal transmission of the telephone will weaken, to Zheng Zhipeng The most intuitive feeling is that the closer to the main fort, the better the effect, and the opposite.
