Chapter 538 Sevastopol North Bank Offensive
"So what is the basis for your Russian occupation of this territory? Could it be that the ancestors of your Slavs once lived here? ”
Brigadier General Trochu's voice was not loud, but every word he said was powerful to Tolstoy.
No matter how Tolstoy tried to whitewash the tsarist government, he could not avoid the fact that the Russian Empire occupied the Crimean peninsula by force.
"You ...... You guys! Tolstoy, after pondering for a while, retorted to Brigadier General Trochu: "Aren't you also invading Algiers? How high are you above us? ”
"That's right! We are indeed aggressive! Brigadier General Trochu did not deny the aggression, and he even said with some confidence: "That's why we don't put ourselves in the position of a victim like you just did!" If any country dares to wreak havoc in Algiers, we in France don't mind letting them know what French wrath is! Only weak countries will cry and cry to other countries' supermarkets for injustice, and strong countries have always used their fists to tell others the truth of this world! ”
"You...... You're a fallacy! Tolstoy's face was slightly red, and the romantic-minded man was angry at Brigadier General Trochu's theory, and he loudly retorted: "If the world is to be like you, then where does justice come from!" This is not how our world should be! ”
"Fair?" Brigadier General Trochu laughed out loud when he heard Tolstoy's natural words: "As a nobleman, you still believe in fairness!" If this world is really fair, then why do some people be born with fine clothes and food, while others can only support their families for the rest of their lives! Is that fair? ”
"This ...... I think it can be improved gradually! Tolstoy replied to Brigadier General Trochu with a word.
"Improvements? When was the agrarian system of your Russian Empire abolished! When will you talk to us about improvements! Brigadier General Trochu said disdainfully, the naïve Russian Imperial nobleman.
"We're going to abolish it! Just like you in France! Tolstoy said firmly to Brigadier General Trochu.
Brigadier General Trochu only smiled slightly, and he did not tell Tolstoy how many nobles France had killed when it abolished feudal obligations.
The effects of the Revolution continue to affect France to this day.
The young nobleman saw the abolition of serfdom as a simple matter in which all the nobles had to obey the tsar's orders and act enthusiastically.
In fact, the abolition of agrarian and pastoral systems and feudal obligations was to completely eradicate the soil from which they were born.
Either make a transformation like Britain, or settle the aristocracy once and for all, like France.
The Russian Empire simply did not have such soil, and there were bound to be a whole bunch of problems with their transformation.
"That's it! Mr. Tolstoy, let's not talk about this question of who is right and who is wrong! Brigadier General Trochu decided to put an end to this topic that was not nutritious in the slightest.
"Your Excellency, I think so too!" Tolstoy, who knew that he could not tell, nodded to Brigadier General Trochu.
After that, Brigadier General Trochu talked to Tolstoy about many things, and when Brigadier General Trochu talked to Tolstoy about literature, he suddenly realized that the sergeant in front of him seemed to be a different person.
Brigadier General Trochu couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "Actually, you shouldn't come to the battlefield, in my humble opinion, your talent is enough to support you to have a place in the literary world!" ”
Tolstoy smiled coyly and replied: "Actually, I already plan to devote myself to literature after the end of the war!" ”
"Oh?" Brigadier General Trochu said casually: "I wonder if our great writer has considered leaving a masterpiece for the world?" ”
"My first work is in my backpack!" Tolstoy said to Brigadier General Trochu.
"Where is your backpack now?" Brigadier General Trochu asked Tolstoy with interest.
It's also a pleasure to be able to read in such a place.
Anyway, Brigadier General Trochu is not ready to continue the offensive now, and his task is to see how to consolidate this position before the North Bay forces have officially recovered!
"It's in my room!" Tolstoy responded.
"Mr. Great Writer, can you take me to your room to have a look!" Brigadier General Trochu was slightly curious about Tolstoy's work.
"Follow me!"
Brigadier General Trox, led by Tolstoy, came to the door of Tolstoy's room.
"Please come in!" Tolstoy pushed the room open and said a word to Brigadier General Trochu.
Brigadier General Trochu entered the room and found Tolstoy's backpack on the table in the room.
Brigadier General Trochu, who opened his backpack, found a thick stack of manuscripts, and after removing them from his backpack, Brigadier General Trochu glanced at the contents of the manuscript.
The manuscript is written not in Russian, but in French, and on the first page of the manuscript is written "Childhood", which is probably the title of the book, which is not yet formed.
……
Far away on the north shore of Sevastopol, Pelissier and St. Marshal Arnault, after receiving the news from Brigadier General Trochu in the South Bay, could not believe that the Russian troops on the south bank of Sevastopol would be so stupid as to engage in field combat with the Anglo-French forces, and even within the range of naval artillery.
"Map!" Saint. Field Marshal Arnault gave the order to Commander Perissier, who was beside him.
General Pelissier hurriedly found a map of the southern bank of Sevastopol.
Although the map of the southern bank of Sevastopol is not too detailed, it is enough to find the location of Brigadier General Trochu on the map.
Saint. Marshal Arnault found Brigadier General Trochu without much difficulty, and Brigadier General Trochu was less than 2 kilometers away from the dock on the south bank, and in front of him was the residential area on the south bank of Sevastopol.
The current Brigadier General Trochu is like a fishbone firmly stuck in the throat of the south bank of Sevastopol, making the south bank of Sevastopol unable to vomit and swallow.
"If I were the commander of the South Bank Army, I would do everything I could to expel him! Even at all costs! "St. Arno pointed to the markers on the map and said to General Pellisier.
"That's what I thought, too!" Commander Pelisier nodded to St. Marshal Arnault responded: "By the way, I remember Brigadier General Trochu and they don't seem to have artillery!" ”
"That's right! That's what worries me the most! "St. Marshal Arnault circled the area where Trochu was located and replied to General Pellisier: "There is a high probability that the Russian troops on the south bank will cover this area with indiscriminate artillery!" Without artillery, they will most likely be repulsed! So we had to do something! ”
"St. Marshal Arno, I propose to launch an attack on the Russian troops on the north shore at once! "Commander Perissier to St. Marshal Arno replied.
"But our army is not ready for battle!" Saint. Marshal Arnault said with some concern.
"Now is not the time to hesitate!" General Perissier showed the decisiveness of a first-class commander, "We must act as soon as possible!" Only in this way can we attract part of the naval artillery firepower and achieve the purpose of relieving the siege for the troops on the south bank! ”
"Okay!" Saint. Marshal Arnault gritted his teeth and said to General Pellisier: "Just do as you say!" ”
Then General Pellisier told St. Saint. Marshal Arnaud, the French gunboats and ironclads can set off to enter the fortress mouth of the fortress of Sevastopol.
Although there were shipwrecks there, Admiral Pellissier believed that the range of the French Navy would be able to damage the fleet and batteries on the south bank in the harbor, making it impossible to effectively support the south bank.
Saint. Arno immediately agreed to Pélicier's approach, and ordered his heralds to quickly deliver the news to the French fleet.
"It's 3 p.m., and I'm planning to launch an offensive on the north bank of Sevastopol at 4:40!" Saint. Marshal Arno took out his pocket watch and said to Pellissier.
"Yes!" Pelisier replied with a serious expression, then turned to the General of Staff Saint. Field Marshal Arnault reported the impending attack to the staff officers and asked them to specify a strategy that would work within 40 minutes.
The members of the staff who heard that the attack was a day ahead of them suddenly felt a burst of pressure, and it was indeed a challenge for them to complete the new plan in half an hour.
"Commander Pellisier, is this new plan only French troops to attack?" One of the staff officers in the staff asked about Pelisier.
"That's right!" Pelissier nodded and said to them, "Because it happened suddenly, we didn't inform the armies of the other three countries?" This attack can only be done by us alone, so it should be fine! ”
"This ......" The staff nodded after hesitating for a moment and said to Pelisier, "There is really no problem, but which unit should be responsible for the main attack on the Star Fortress?" ”
"First Division!" General Pelisier said to them categorically.
General Perissier has not forgotten the "kindness" that General Conrobert has shown him.
If it weren't for Conrobert's "abdication to make way for Xian", he would probably not be qualified to be the commander-in-chief of the French Expeditionary Force at all.
Giving the 1st Division the task of attacking the Star Fortress was also his reward for Conrobel, and Pelisier was confident that the 1st Division would be able to accomplish the task well.
"I see!" The staff officers nodded in response to Pelissier, and then began their intense work.
Leaving the General Staff, Pelissier was re-adjutant Jérôme. Patterson called over and ordered him to summon the commanders of the 1st and 2nd Divisions.
Jérôme who received the order. Patterson hurried into action, and about 15 minutes later, Conrobert and General Bosquet appeared in front of Perissier.
