Chapter 543 St. Marshal Arnault returns
After the news of General Pelissier's LinkedIn French army occupying the south bank of Sevastopol was transmitted by cavalry to the headquarters of the coalition forces on the north bank of Sevastopol, the commanders on the north bank of Sevastopol showed a surprised expression on their faces.
In the plan of the Allied Command, after arriving on the south bank of Sevastopol, the joint operations forces of Britain and France should not immediately march to the south bank of Sevastopol, but should assume the posture of marching to the south bank, so that the Russian Empire on the south bank of Sevastopol had to transfer a part of its troops to defend General Perissier.
This would ease the burden on General Trochu, and the Anglo-French forces near Fort Malachov would only have to wait quietly for the artillery to arrive before proceeding to the next move.
Who knew that General Pelisier was a guy who did not pay attention to siege tactics (the French army after the Napoleonic Wars liked siege tactics very much), and as soon as he arrived at Pelissier near Malakhov Fort, he gave a "black hand" to the south bank of Sevastopol with the back foot.
The morale-boosting Anglo-French forces used the "crowd tactic" to scare the demoralized Russian Empire back and capture Fort Malakhov, and then the southern shore of Sevastopol.
"Quick! Send someone to Constantinople at once...... No! I'm going to Constantinople to ask for credit for General Perissier! ”
Coming back from the astonishment. Marshal Arnault excitedly greeted Jérôme beside him. Patterson responded.
If there was anyone who cared most about General Pelissier, it would be St. Pelisier. Marshal Arnault is up.
Since Beater Pelisier became acting commander-in-chief of the coalition forces, St. Petisier has been the acting commander-in-chief of the coalition forces. Marshal Arnault's name was tied to General Perissier.
Like Hindenburg and Ludendorff during World War I, General Perissier's success is a sign of St. Petisier's success. The success of Marshal Arnault, on the contrary, the defeat of General Pellisier. The defeat of Marshal Arnault.
For the terminally ill saint. For Marshal Arnault, General Pellissier was the straw that saved his name.
As long as General Pelisier captured Sevastopol before he died, then St. . Arnault was able to claim credit for the capture of Sevastopol.
Although this merit is somewhat insignificant compared to that of the marshals of the Napoleonic period, it is not the same as that of St. Marshal Arnault was in a period of time when compared to the French generals. Marshal Arnault's credit threw them off a lot.
Even Marshal Bijo, who had completely conquered Algeria, could not be sainted. Marshal Arnault on a par!
Even if the follow-up battle has a more brilliant record than Sevastopol, it will not be able to shake his position.
Unless the coalition forces captured St. Petersburg and Moscow, only in this way can they cover St. Petersburg. The brilliance of Marshal Arnault.
Even if the Anglo-French forces really captured the heart of the Russian Empire, St. Arno believed that he himself would still be the target of imperial propaganda after his death.
According to St. Marshal Arnault's understanding of His Majesty the Emperor shows that one of His Majesty's favorite things to do is to add a series of honors to the deceased, to set off his own glory.
His Majesty the Emperor is still the same to those marshals of the First Empire, and the honor of the marshal of the Second Empire, who was personally excavated by His Majesty, will not be lost to the marshal of the First Empire after his death.
Of course, the premise of all this is that General Pelisier does not dismantle his platform. It is true that Marshal Arnault himself had a holy family, but the old general Pelisier was also the emperor's confidant.
If General Pelisier had not been a close confidant of the Emperor, the Emperor would categorically not have put the "Praetorian Guard" into the hands of General Pelisier.
Not to mention that now Pelissier has won the battle of Alma and Sevastopol, and after the two wars, General Pelissier may be more important in the emperor's mind than before.
Saint. Marshal Arnault could deceive the French that the Battle of Sevastopol was a battle under his command, but could not deceive the Emperor in Paris.
The attitude of Pelisier determined that St. The key to whether Marshal Arnault can be honored posthumously.
So, St. Marshal Arno would have been willing to go to Constantinople in person to fight for General Pellisier.
Follow Pelisier with St. Marshal Arnault's previous agreement, after the capture of the fortress of Sevastopol, St. Marshal Arnaud took the name, and General Pellisier took the benefit.
Now the fortress of Sevastopol has fallen, St. . Marshal Arnaud had to show Pellissier his attitude.
Stand in St. Jérôme next to Marshal Arnault. Patterson apparently didn't know about St. The matter between Marshal Arnaud and Pellisier, he was concerned about the matter between St. Arnaud. Marshal Arnault said, "But...... Marshal, your body! ”
"Ahem...... Cough! "St. Marshal Arno cleared his throat, and a relieved smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "I know my body myself, I'm afraid I won't be able to support it for long...... In fact, my condition has been very bad since I fainted that time! It's just that in order not to shake the whole army, I have been holding on...... Now, the battle is over! I finally don't have to relax! ”
After saying this, the saint. Marshal Arnault was like a deflated balloon, his smile grudging and revealing a sense of weakness.
Looking at the French commander in front of him, Commander Raglan felt a feeling of sadness in his heart.
To know that born in 1798 St. Marshal Arnault was only 56 years old until now, and Commander Raglan himself was 64 years old.
The current saint. Marshal Arno with the St. Arnault whom he met in the Varna region. Arnault judged the two of them, how could this not make him sad.
"Arnault, we've won! You can relax for a while! "Commander Raglan tried to comfort St. Marshal Arnault said: "Constantinople is indeed a good place to recuperate, you go over to recuperate for a few days, and when our troops start again, you are returning to Sevastopol to command the battle!" ”
"yes!" Pull. Malamore also echoed a word of praise: "Your command, which of us does not admire!" The coalition needs to be commanded by you! ”
"That's right!" Omar Pasha nodded in response.
"Thank you for your love!" Saint. Arno smiled and said something he didn't want to believe: "I'll heal my wounds as soon as possible, and then I'll return here to fight alongside you!" ”
"We are waiting for your return in Sevastopol!" Commander Raglan was in a heavy mood to St. Marshal Arno replied.
"Hmm!" Saint. Marshal Arnault nodded slightly gasping for breath, then turned his gaze to Jérôme. Patterson said in a hurried tone: "Captain Jérôme! ”
"In!" Jerome's heart was infected by the heavy atmosphere in front of him. Patterson replied in a low tone.
"Cheer up!" Saint. Marshal Arnault pointed out against Jérôme. Patterson said sternly: "You have the blood of the Bonaparte family in your veins!" ”
"Yes!" Jérôme. Patterson replied loudly.
"Good!" Saint. Marshal Arno nodded with satisfaction, "Listen! While I was on my way to Constantinople to recuperate, General Pellissier, commander of the Guards Division, took over all my posts in charge of the French Expeditionary Force, and all the French army was to follow General Pellisier's instructions! Do you understand? ”
"Got it!" Jérôme. Patterson replied loudly.
"Good!" Saint. Marshal Arno breathed a sigh of relief, waved his hand and said, "You now immediately convey this news to the French army!" ”
"Yes!" Jérôme. Paterson to St. Marshal Arnault saluted and left the Allied Command.
Looking at Jérôme in the distance. Patterson, St. Marshal Arnault smiled with relief, he turned his head to look at the three commanders in front of him again, and said sincerely: "Commander Raglan, Commander Malamore, Commander Omar, I hope that after I leave, you can try to cooperate with General Perissier!" To tell you the truth, General Pelisier is much better than me! ”
"Don't worry! We will definitely cooperate with General Perissier's actions! Commander Raglan opened his mouth to St. Raglan. Marshal Arno replied: "After all, who can refuse a general who will lead us to victory!" ”
"yes!" Pull. Malamore also replied: "General Perissier's achievements are obvious to all!" ”
"That's right!" Omar Pasha also nodded in reply.
"I'm sorry for the trouble!" Saint. Field Marshal Arnault saluted the three commanders present, who immediately saluted the three commanders who were present. Marshal Arnault saluted.
In the afternoon of the same day, the commander of the French Expeditionary Force, Saint-Saint. Marshal Arnaud rushed by carriage to the south bank of Sevastopol.
At this time, Pelissier was putting the finishing touches on the south bank of Sevastopol. The arrival of Marshal Arnault forced General Pelisier to stop his work and follow him in St. Saint's Field. Behind Marshal Arnault.
"Thank you!" Looking at the intact city in front of you, St. Marshal Arnault said to him, holding Pellisier's hand.
"Nothing!" Perissier shook his head in response, and then asked with concern: "Your Excellency, your body is ......?"
"Not anymore!" Saint. Marshal Arnault sighed and responded to General Pelisier with earnest eyes: "Promise me!" Gotta win! Only victory can make us famous in history! ”
In St. Under Arno's expectant gaze, General Pelisier snorted and wanted to say something, but in the end, he still did not say it.
In the end, Pelisier only solemnly addressed the saint. Marshal Arnault saluted.
Saint. Marshal Arnaud also returned the salute with a serious expression on Perissier.
