Chapter 642: A Blank Check to Sardinia
"Marshal, I do not think that the offensive of the Russian Imperial Army will be so conservative! I think that the Russian army, which has the superiority in numbers, will attack both the north and the south at the same time! The siege of the north bank by 200,000 troops is really a luxury! ”
After Marshal Regino's remarks, Conrobert made a different opinion.
As soon as Conrobel finished speaking, he immediately received a message including Jérôme. Unanimous approval of all people, including Bonaparte.
Conrobel was right, 200,000 troops besieging only one North Shore was too extravagant.
The army on the entire north bank was only about 10,000 people, of which the combat effectiveness of the Ottoman army had been in a state of Schrödinger, and the south bank was 10,000 troops from the two armies of France and Saxon (the Sardinian dynasty sent another 10,000 troops to attack the Crimea in mid-August, and they were rewarded with the French and British helping the Sardinian dynasty to waive part of the war reparations).
If he had been the commander of the Russian army, he would not have let the Fasacean army go.
"General Conrobert is right!" Jérôme. Bonaparte said with a serious expression: "We must always prepare for the worst, and we must not have a trace of luck!" Any fluke will only make our actions pay off! ”
Everyone present said in unison: "Understood".
Then General Boskai also spoke: "Your Majesty, I think we must consider not only the situation on the north and south shores, but also the small town of Yevpatoria!"
Marshal Regnio suggested a surprise attack on Perekop from the small town of Yevpatoria, and I think the Russian side will also take this into account.
It is quite possible that they will send a detachment to Yevpatoria to uproot the 5,000 men stationed in Yevpatoria! (3,000 French soldiers, 2,000 Sardinian soldiers).
I propose that in addition to strengthening Yevpatoria itself, some of the French warships anchored in the port of Sevastopol should be sent to Yevpatoria, because if the Russian army attacks, the artillery on the warships will become their nightmare! ”
"That's a good suggestion!" Jérôme. Bonaparte smiled and nodded.
Influenced by Jérôme. General Bosquet, whom Bonaparte praised, had a smile on his face.
When all three division commanders had finished speaking, Field Marshal Pelisier summed up their proposals, and then told them that he would send them all to the General Staff.
The next step will be given to them by the Expeditionary Force's General Staff.
After Marshal Perissier concluded his speech, Jérôme Pelissier concluded his speech. Bonaparte summed up, put his hands together in his chin, and said in a cautious tone: "The battle between us and the Russian Empire has begun again, and I want each and every one of you to be vigilant at all times!" Don't give the opponent any chance, you have to use your artillery and rifles to inflict heavy damage on the opponent in the shortest possible time!
Let their blood be scattered all over the land; Let their madness be wiped out in the iron walls of France, and only by pulling out these teeth and claws can they truly communicate with us calmly!
I will not allow anyone to compromise with this giant bear until the fangs and claws of this giant bear are sharpened!
Do you understand? ”
The marshal and the general who were present stood up at the same time, and looked at Jerome with an unusually serious expression. Bonaparte sonorated: "Understood! ”
"That's it! You can now return to your zone and wait for the next order! "Jérôme. Bonaparte waved his hand and said to those present.
After Marshal Regino, General Conrobert, and General Bosquet left in turn, Jérôme. Bonaparte once again ordered Jérôme. Paterson called Admiral Brua, who was the commander of the French Navy in the Crimean War.
After about half an hour, Admiral Bruard appeared at the headquarters of the expeditionary force, and he first sent a message to Jérôme. Bonaparte saluted and then asked Jérôme. What did Bonaparte command?
Jérôme. Bonaparte told Admiral Bruard that he wanted to send a fleet to Yevpatoria to prepare for a possible Russian raid.
Admiral Bruce advised Jérôme. Bonaparte sent the two "ironclads" "Napoleon" and "Friendship" as the main ships to support Yevpatoria, and then equipped them with 5 double-deck battleships and 8 gunboats, which was enough firepower to make any army that wanted to attack Yevpatoria tremble.
"Okay, just do as you say!" Jérôme. Bonaparte thought for a moment, then nodded.
"Your Majesty, please allow me to return to the military port first to prepare!" Admiral Bruard against Jérôme. Bonaparte said.
Shortly after the departure of General Brüa, the commander-in-chief of the Kingdom of Sardinia, La. Malamol appeared at the headquarters of the Expeditionary Force, Jérôme. Bonaparte met with Marshal Pellissier.
"Your Majesty, I heard that the Russian Empire is deploying in Bakhchisaray, and I don't know if this news is true!" Pull. As soon as Malamore sat down, he asked Jérôme. Bonaparte said.
"That's right!" Jérôme. Bonaparte said indifferently to La. "According to our situation, there is indeed a movement of the Russian Empire to assemble in Bakhchisaray and Simferopol!" What's wrong? ”
"Your Majesty, I mean...... I mean...... "pull. After hesitating for a moment, Malamoor gritted his teeth at Jérôme. Bonaparte said: "Your Majesty, we in the Sardinian army are willing to obey your command!" What are your instructions? ”
"I can't tell you anything! The Kingdom of Sardinia and the French Empire are allies who have experienced a bitter war together, not a subordinate relationship! We only hope that the army of the Kingdom of Sardinia will hold your ground! I don't ask you to be there, you just need to give us a little notice before you leave your position!
Never like you did a few years ago (during the Great Revolution!). And run away!
I'm going to have to say something ugly. If Sardinia had fled unannounced after the war had begun, it would not have been for you whether you had intended it or not. I'll send him straight to the execution ground! "Jérôme. Bonaparte threatened Ra with a blank face. Maramore Drive.
The Sardinian army during the '48 Revolution was a ruthless man who could abandon even his own army. Bonaparte was afraid that they would abandon the French army as they had abandoned their own.
Jérôme. Bonaparte's words made Ra. With a look of shame on Malamore's face, he stood up and looked at Jérôme. Bonaparte assured that he and his army would hold on to the left flank of Mount Inkerman and not allow any Russian army to get close.
"With your words, I'm relieved!" Jérôme. A smile appeared on Bonaparte's face, "Perissier! ”
"In!" Pelissier vs Jérôme. Bonaparte replied.
"How many artillery units can I have in my hands that have not yet been deployed?" Jérôme. Bonaparte asked Pelisier Dao.
"There are still two regiments of artillery that are not deployed!" Pelissier pondered for a moment.
"Then divide the artillery of a regiment into Sardinia! At the same time, some of the 30 heavy guns that we have just delivered are also placed in their place! "Jérôme. Bonaparte gave the order.
"Yes! Your Majesty! Marshal Perissier replied.
"Your Majesty, thank you for your generosity!" Pull. Malamor excitedly to Jérôme. Bonaparte said.
Since the Kingdom of Sardinia itself was a great poor man, the troops they transported to the Crimea of 30,000 men were only a pitiful few artillery pieces. Bonaparte transferred 40 heavy artillery pieces with an artillery regiment to their command, which can be said to solve the problem of their lack of firepower.
Stationed on the left flank of Mount Inkerman. Maramor was more confident to hold there.
"Remember what I just said! If your army dares to flee......"
Not yet waiting for Jérôme. After Bonaparte finished speaking, he pulled. Malamore responded to Jérôme in a firm tone. Bonaparte: "Your Majesty, I assure you, you don't have to do it! I'll just shoot them! ”
"Good!" Jérôme. Bonaparte nodded in satisfaction, and then turned back to Ra. "I can assure you that as long as we can defeat the Russian Empire, the problem of the Apennine Peninsula will no longer be a thorny problem!" ”
Speaking of which, Jérôme. Bonaparte kept silent, and the rest was left to pull. Malamore made up for it on his own!
Anyway, Jérôme. Bonaparte only said that the Apennines were no longer a problem, but he did not say that the Kingdom of Sardinia was an enemy of the Austrian Empire.
The reason why French can be used as a language of diplomacy is that it is semantically ambiguous.
"Your Majesty, please rest assured! I know what to do! "Pull. Malamore was apparently replaced by Jérôme. Annoyed that Bonaparte had "gone astray", he swore to Jérôme. Bonaparte replied.
"Minister Mallamoor, I look forward to your performance!" Jérôme. Bonaparte patted the pull. Maramore's shoulder, as a gesture of encouragement.
After the departure of Maramore, who had dreams of the unification of Italy, Marshal Raglan and Omar Pasha arrived at the headquarters of the expeditionary force.
Jérôme. Bonaparte also received them with twelve points of hospitality.
Marshal Raglan, who was the main interlocutor on the North Shore, asked Jérôme. Did Bonaparte know about the transfer of the Russian Empire.
Jérôme. Bonaparte was annoyed and pulled him to the ground. What Maramor said, told Marshal Raglan.
Subsequently, Marshal Raglan told Jérôme. Bonaparte, if the north shore was the main target of the Russian Empire, he hoped that Jérôme. Bonaparte was able to send people to support the North Shore after it fell into crisis.
Jérôme. Raglan was immediately assured that if that time came, he would send men to the north shore, but this would only be if the French army was not dragged down.
For now, a multi-point Russian offensive is more likely than a separate attack on the northern shore.
[PS: As of the end of August, the ratio of the number of coalition forces to the Russian Imperial Army on the Crimean battlefield was 10,000:26w, of which the French army accounted for 90,000, the British army 40,000, the Sardinian army 30,000, and the Ottoman army were the most important. 】
