After reading through the letterhead written by Nicholas I himself, both Alexander II and Gorchakov fell silent.

At the same time, Alexander II also had a guilty expression on his face, knowing that his "rhetoric" that Commander Gorchakov would persuade his father, Nicholas I, to postpone the offensive, had gone bankrupt.

Now they had to think about how to lead their army to attack Sevastopol.

After a brief moment of silence, Alexander II opened his mouth to apologize to Commander Gorchakov and said: "Commander Gorchakov, I'm sorry! ”

"Your Highness, it's not your fault!" Gorchakov smiled bitterly and said to Alexander II: "It is me, who blindly thinks about the difficulties faced by the military, and thus ignores the economic and political difficulties!" ”

Although Gorchakov's words were somewhat wrong for Nicholas I, the objective financial difficulties of the Russian Empire were indeed a difficult problem for them.

Even if their Slavic soldiers were willing to bring their own rations, they attacked the coalition forces for the sake of Nicholas I's imperial hegemony.

But the rifles, artillery, bullets, food, and medical equipment in their hands were not piled up with money.

You don't want money, but you can't skip food.

"Commander Gorchakov, it's not your fault!" Alexander II also blamed Gorchakov: "The situation that the Russian Empire is facing now is all due to the shameless monarch of Sevastopol!" When the Imperial army captures Sevastopol, I will definitely make him pay! ”

Alexander gritted his teeth as he clenched his fists, as if confident in the victory of the Russian Empire over the French Empire.

However, in the heart of Alexander II, his thoughts were very different from what he said, after all, the truth was just like Jérôme. As Bonaparte said, although the Russian Imperial Army was outnumbered by the Allied forces, their only advantage was that they were outnumbered, and the Allied forces had better equipment and artillery, and the logistics and morale of the soldiers were also very sufficient.

Coupled with the fact that Sevastopol and its environs had been built into impregnable fortresses, the Russian Empire saw no hope of victory.

If, according to Alexander II himself, he did not want to spend time in Sevastopol, or even in the Crimea (this was what Alexander II had before he became Tsar, and after he became Tsar, Alexander II's mind changed).

However, his father insisted that their loyal army be exhausted by the coalition forces here.

"Hey!" Gorchakov let out a sigh as he lamented the fate of the Russian Imperial Army: "Your Highness, should we make a plan for the next attack?" ”

"Wait! Let's start by bringing together all the troops of the Crimean peninsula! Alexander II responded to Gorchakov.

"Yes!" Commander Gorchakov nodded and replied to Alexander II.

As a result, in the next week and a half, the troops scattered along the line of Perekop and Simferopol, except for a small number of troops who needed to stay in the fortress of Perekop to guard against sneak attacks, the remaining troops were mainly concentrated in Simferopol-Bakhchisaray-Saki, which were connected to form a large triangle, and the field hospitals originally stationed in Zhankoy and Perekop were also relocated to Simferopol and Bakhchisaray.

Of course, the Russian Empire, which carried out such a big maneuver, naturally did not hide from the coalition troops living in Sevastopol.

When the French Guards Dragoons, who had been sent to the vicinity of the Arma River, came into close contact with the Cossack cavalry and captured the Cossack cavalry, the cavalry, who had received information from the Cossack cavalry about the movements of the Russian Imperial Army, quickly returned to the fortress of Sevastopol and reported the news to Marshal Perisier.

Marshal Perissier, who received the news, did not hesitate to leave the headquarters and went to the field hospital near the coastline, where he found Jérôme, who was teaching British medical staff how to prevent cholera in later generations. Bonaparte.

Jérôme at this time. Bonaparte, wearing a white coat and a white doctor's hat of his own design, said to the volunteers below: "This is the last wave of the cholera virus, and we must be vigilant." From now on, limestone must be sprinkled near the hospital, and uncontaminated water must be chosen for drinking.

For those soldiers who have cholera symptoms, we must give them fluids as soon as possible to maintain the electrolyte balance in their bodies......"

"Knock Knock"

A crisp knock on the door will be pouring knowledge to Jerome. Bonaparte interrupted.

I don't know who is so not going!

Jérôme. Bonaparte's face showed a hint of displeasure, but he still suppressed the unhappiness in his heart and said to the visitor outside the door: "Please come in!" ”

Marshal Perissier pushed open the door and stood on Jérôme. Bonaparte's face.

"Your Majesty, can I take some time for you! I have something to discuss with you! "Marshal Pellisier addressed Jérôme. Bonaparte bowed and tactfully addressed Jérôme. Bonaparte said.

The appearance of Pelissier made Jérôme. Bonaparte immediately realized that there might be a new military operation on the part of the Russian Empire, otherwise, he would not have bothered himself at this time.

"Hmmm! Good! "Jérôme. Bonaparte nodded, turned to them and smiled, "I've already told you what I need to say, and the rest is up to you!" ”

After that, Jérôme. Bonaparte and Pellisier quickly left the room, and on the way back to the headquarters of the expeditionary force, Marshal Pellisier asked Jérôme . Bonaparte gave a brief report on the news from the dragoons.

"The Russian Empire is moving towards Sevastopol?" Jérôme who heard the news. Bonaparte frowned slightly, and then said to himself.

"That's right! Your Majesty! Pelissier nodded and replied: "I suspect that there is a good chance that they will attack Sevastopol in the next week or two!" ”

"If they do attack, it would be great!" Jérôme. Bonaparte smiled and said to Pellissier: "I am not afraid of them attacking, I am afraid that they will not attack!" ”

"You're right!" Marshal Perissier nodded approvingly.

If the Russian Empire does not attack, then it proves that they want to use space for time as they did in the first place, so as to drag down the logistics of the coalition forces.

In this way, the coalition forces really have to think about taking it when they see it, Jérôme. Bonaparte did not want to fight a deadly war of attrition with the Russian Empire.

History has proven that any country that wants to wage a war of attrition with Russia will be overwhelmed by long supply lines.

Of course, once the Russian Empire withdrew from Crimea, it also meant that Jérôme. Bonaparte's plan to humiliate the Russian servicemen at the parade and lure Nicholas I into a general assault on Sevastopol was about to go bankrupt.

Fortunately, the Russian army did not retreat, but followed the Jérôme . Bonaparte's plan to attack.

Jérôme. Bonaparte could not help but thank Nicholas I, believing that the Russian Empire's attack on Sevastopol must have been at the behest of Nikolai.

Jérôme with gratitude to Nicholas I. Bonaparte decided that he must "repay" Nicholas I with one victory after another.

He believed that with the successive victories of the coalition forces, Nicholas I would meet the tsars sooner than he had in history.

After all, the historical coalition forces landed on the Crimean peninsula only at this time.

Return to Jérôme at the French Command. Bonaparte did not want to slack off in the slightest, and as soon as he entered the office, he immediately put Jérôme. Patterson called over and gave him an order to invite three (four) division commanders of the expeditionary force to come over.

Jérôme. Patterson immediately rode to the divisions' garrisons and delivered the news to them.

Conrobert (1st Division), Boskai (2nd Division), Regnio (the latest to arrive 4th Division), and the 3rd Division, which was also part of Marshal Pellisier, were present in the headquarters.

[PS: Now the number of a division of the French Expeditionary Force has seriously exceeded that of the traditional division.

Some are similar to the integrated divisions under the skinheads, with the number above the division and below the army. 】

"Sit down! Everybody! "Jérôme. Bonaparte invited everyone except Pellisier to sit down, then nodded at Pellissier.

"Guys, we've got information! The Russian Imperial Army has recently undergone a massive transfer! "As the Acting Commander of the French Expeditionary Force (Commander of the Expeditionary Force and Chief of the General Staff, he is still a saint. Arnault, this is Jérôme. Bonaparte to the Holy One. Marshal Pelissier, Arnault's last "privilege"), stood in front of the military map of the Crimean peninsula hanging, pointed to the sign on the map, and the three people present talked eloquently: "According to the information we received from the captured Cossack cavalry, the current Russian Imperial army is converging here (Bakhchisaray) and here (Simferopol), and their strength may exceed 200,000 men!" ”

(Now Pelissier doesn't know that there are also troops in Saki.) ）

After Marshal Perissier had introduced the current situation, Marshal Regnio and others began to discuss which part of the Russian Empire might attack.

Marshal Reinho, who had succeeded Marshal Perissye in the defense of Mount Inkerman, believed that it was quite possible that the Russian Imperial Army would attack from north to south along the lines of their attack.

The defense of the north shore was to be undertaken by the British and Turkish, and the French Empire should have sent its forces to support it after the war began, and at the same time sent a force to Yevpatoria.
