Chapter 533: Kornilov's Coping Strategy
In Jérôme. Under the influence of Bonaparte, a small butterfly that suddenly broke into the 19th century, the Crimean War deviated from its original historical course from the beginning, and the whole world began to stride towards a new world.
Nasimov and Kornilov were killed by Jérôme. The two unlucky ones directly affected by Bonaparte's butterfly effect, and at this moment, the two unaware of it are still racking their brains to formulate a suitable plan for the next rescue operation.
After more than two hours of arguing, Nasimov and Kornilov finally finalized a rescue plan.
The 16 ships docked on the south bank of Sevastopol will all be mobilized tomorrow to act as an important force in the erection of pontoon bridges, and to build a life passage.
Originally, this work was supposed to be done by ordinary civilian ships, but unfortunately the civilian ships in the Sevastopol bay were sunk to the exit of the bay by Vice Admiral Kornilov long before the coalition fleet approached Sevastopol, and it was precisely because of this that the ships of the coalition forces had no way to directly enter the bay to shell Sevastopol
After the rescue plan was developed, Kornilov made another proposal to Nasimov.
Kornilov hoped to mobilize all the inhabitants of the southern bank of Sevastopol to build trenches, breastworks, improvised forts and batteries, as well as to dismantle all the remaining guns from the ship and place them on the batteries to strengthen the defense of the southern bank of Sevastopol.
"However, it may be difficult to mobilize Sevastopol now!" Nasimov replied to Kornilov with a frown.
Today, the south bank of Sevastopol is already in a panic, and many residents are too late to escape, so how can they help them build defensive positions.
"Don't worry!" Lieutenant General Kornilov put on a confident posture and said to Nasimov: "I have a way to get them to cooperate with us!" ”
"What a way!" Nasimov asked curiously.
"Liar!" Lieutenant General Kornilov said softly.
"Liar?" Lieutenant General Nasimov looked at Kornilov with a puzzled expression.
"That's right! Since we have no way to stop this panic, why don't we exaggerate the threat of coalition forces even further! Let them equate the image in the hearts of the inhabitants and soldiers of Sevastopol with the devil who eats the hearts and livers of the people of Sevastopol, and the demons who devour the hearts and minds of the inhabitants of Sevastopol! We can claim to the inhabitants of Sevastopol that the reason why the coalition forces are waging this war is to eat the inhabitants of Sevastopol! No matter where they run, they will be chased by the coalition forces and eaten raw! Running away won't solve the problem, and only by defeating those demons can they avoid the risk of having their hearts and livers eaten! Lieutenant General Kornilov explained to Nasimov.
"This method can inspire the residents of Sevastopol to feel the same hatred, but it will also make our soldiers lose the confidence to fight them!" Lieutenant General Nasimov responded worriedly to Lieutenant General Kornilov: "After all, there is no way for mortals to defeat demons!" ”
"You're right! Humans really can't defeat demons! Lieutenant General Kornilov nodded and said to Nasimov, and then a sly smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "But the Patriarch and His Majesty the Tsar can!" We just need to borrow their names, and the priest and Prince Menshikov will be a "sharp blade" in our hands! ”
Lieutenant General Kornilov paused, leaned into Lieutenant General Nasimov's ear and whispered: "We just need ......"
As soon as Kornilov finished speaking, Nasimov's eyes lit up, and he nodded and said to Lieutenant General Kornilov: "It is indeed a good idea!" ”
"Then let's get moving!"
Subsequently, Nasimov and Kornilov, in the name of the Sevastopol command, "invited" the Orthodox priests in the fortress to go into the barracks to catch up.
Awakened from sleep by the rough Cossack soldiers, the Bishop of Sevastopol yawned and entered the sailors' camp, where he met not only with the two heads of the fortress, Nasimov and Kornilov, but also with all the priests in the fortress.
Needless to say, they, like the Bishop of Sevastopol, were forcibly awakened to the barracks.
Thinking of this, the bishop of Sevastopol inevitably felt a little more resentful in his heart.
"Your Excellency Bishop, Mr. Priests, welcome to the barracks!" Lieutenant General Kornilov opened his mouth and addressed all the priests present.
"Lieutenant General Kornilov, what are you summoning us here in the middle of the night? Didn't you just take us for fun! If that's the case, then I'm going to consider getting His Majesty the Tsar to do justice for us! "The Bishop of Sevastopol complained to Kornilov.
"That's right! Lieutenant General Kornilov, what the hell do you want to do! ”
"Lieutenant General Kornilov, I hope you will be able to give a talk!"
……
In the face of the Bishop of Sevastopol's forced palace behavior of "popular resentment", Lieutenant General Kornilov was not angry at all, and still put on a gentle and elegant face and said: "That's the case! I hope that you will be able to give a baptism to all the inhabitants and soldiers of the Sevastopol fortress tomorrow morning! ”
"What a joke! There are more than 5 or 60,000 people in the whole of Sevastopol, how did we do it! ”
"Yes! This is really too difficult for a strong man! ”
……
The priest constantly complained about Lieutenant General Kornilov's hardship, and told Lieutenant General Kornilov that he would not baptize the whole of Sevastopol if he was killed.
"So, did you refuse?" Still smiling, Lieutenant General Kornilov asked the priests present.
"Your Excellency, Lieutenant General, it's not us who rejected you! It's too hard for a strong man! The priest with a sad face complained to Lieutenant General Kornilov: "Besides, we don't have so much holy water in our hands for baptism!" ”
"Humph! Isn't your so-called holy water the water in the bay of Sevastopol, as much as you want! Nasimov mocked the priest in the room with a look of disdain.
The priests instantly exploded after hearing Nasimov's words, and they began to point the finger at Lieutenant General Nasimov.
"Quiet!" It was only after a reprimand from the Bishop of Sevastopol that the priest in the presence fell silent and then turned his attention to the Bishop of Sevastopol.
"Lieutenant General Kornilov!" The Bishop of Sevastopol took a few steps forward and asked Kornilov with a serious face: "Can you tell me!" What are you doing? ”
"Break the fear of the inhabitants of Sevastopol against the coalition forces!" Kornilov paused and complained to the priest present: "Then again, the reason why the residents and soldiers of Sevastopol are so afraid of the coalition forces is all thanks to everyone present!" If it weren't for your propaganda day after day, Sevastopol would not be in the same state as it was the other day! ”
"We are also under orders!" The priests retorted: "If Prince Menshikov had not asked us to do this, we would not have advertised anything!" Now I'm complaining about us, if I knew that this would happen, why would I go earlier! ”
"Yes! After all, you are not capable! ”
"That's right!"
……
Seeing that the situation was about to develop in the direction of scolding, the Bishop of Sevastopol had to speak again: "Now is not the time to argue about who is right and who is wrong, the most important thing is how to solve the problem!" ”
"I agree with the bishop!" Lieutenant General Kornilov also said: "It's not a way to continue arguing like this!" We must overcome the difficulties in front of us together, and you must know what you may face once the coalition forces break through the fortress of Sevastopol! ”
The priests were momentarily speechless, and they certainly understood what might happen after the coalition forces broke through Sevastopol.
With a little luck, they could even avoid disaster. If you're unlucky, you may not even be able to save your life.
After all, among the coalition forces there were also Turkish troops, known for killing prisoners.
The contradictions between Russia and Turkey have long been irresolvable.
Unless either of the two falls, their hatred can be dissolved.
As for the escape from the Sevastopol fortress, it is even more nonsense.
More than half (80%) of the entire Crimean peninsula were made up of Tatars, who were so notoriously thorny before the arrival of the coalition forces that the Russian Empire often led troops to clean them up.
After the arrival of the coalition forces, the Tatars will probably become even more rampant, and the priests who walk on the road without the protection of the army will only be reduced to the ghosts of the Tatar bandits.
There is a good chance that you will survive in Sevastopol, as long as you don't need the Turks, and you will die if you get out of Sevastopol.
Of course, if it can really be held, so much the better!
"Can you hold this place?" One of the priests asked Lieutenant General Kornilov with trepidation.
"I don't know, but I'll hold on as long as I can!" Lieutenant General Kornilov spoke in a firm tone, and assured the priests present that he would live and die with Sevastopol.
Lieutenant General Nasimov, who was standing next to Kornilov, also repeated.
Subsequently, the Bishop of Sevastopol asked Lieutenant General Kornilov about the specific steps.
Lieutenant General Kornilov told the Bishop of Sevastopol that he would send out the news early tomorrow morning that the coalition forces were going to eat up every man in the Sevastopol fortress, even if they fled to the ends of the earth, and then the priest would come out and proclaim that Sevastopol had been blessed by the Lord and that after being baptized in Sevastopol, he would be able to resist the devil.
Anyone who wants to escape from Sevastopol or does not follow Sevastopol's orders (Kornilov's) will be abandoned by the Lord and become food for the devil.
