Chapter 666: Military Council

Right here in Jérôme. While Bonaparte was contemplating how to punish the Russian Empire after the war, a knock came to his ears.

He hurriedly relocked the code book in the drawer, then folded the encrypted telegram and put it in his coat pocket, and shouted out the door with a serious face: "Please come in!" ”

The door to the office slowly opened, and Jérôme. Patterson's figure appeared at the gate, "Your Majesty, the commanders of all divisions have now arrived at the headquarters!" ”

Jérôme. Bonaparte nodded, got up and responded, "Okay! I know! Let's go! ”

Jérôme. Bonaparte and Jérôme. After leaving the office, Patterson made a beeline for the headquarters operations conference hall.

When Jérôme. When Bonaparte pushed open the door of the war room, he saw at a glance the Conrobert, Bosquet, and Trochu in the war room (due to the outstanding performance of the Inkman Mountain, Jérôme. Bonaparte was promoted to commander of the 3rd Division, and the original division commander Pelisier completely stepped down as commander of the 3rd Division to concentrate on serving as acting commander of the expeditionary force), Marshal Regnio and Marshal Perissier, who were sitting at the long conference table waiting for Jérôme. The arrival of Bonaparte in Jérôme. After Bonaparte appeared before them, four division commanders and one of the acting commanders stood up at the same time, and unanimously addressed Jérôme. Bonaparte saluted as a sign of respect.

Jérôme. Bonaparte returned the salute with a solemn expression, and then walked to the main seat of the long desk, pulled out his chair, and sat down.

The whole meeting room atmosphere in Jérôme. The moment Bonaparte sat down, he became even more depressed.

Everyone sitting in the seats was silently waiting for Jérôme. Bonaparte made a speech, and Jérôme, as the initiator of the conference. Bonaparte was still organizing language in his mind at the moment.

After a while, the organization of the language of Jérôme. Bonaparte said to them in a heavy tone: "The purpose of calling you here today is to announce a national mourning!"

Marshal of the French Empire, Commander of the Expeditionary Force, Recipient of the Order of the Order of the Order of the Most Honorable Legion, Count of Sevastopol. Marshal Arnault, who fell into a coma at about two o'clock this afternoon, at three o'clock in the afternoon, St. Arnault. Marshal Arno died once and for all, and returned to the arms of God! ”

As soon as this statement came out, in addition to having learned about the Holy in advance. Except for the three people who died in Marshal Arnault, everyone present had shock and sadness on their faces.

The saddest one of them is Trochu.

As a saint. Marshal Arnault adjutant of him, from St. Marshal Arnault, who assumed the post of Minister of War, was the subject of the Saint's Commandment. The favor of Marshal Arnault.

Even in St. While Arno was recuperating in Constantinople, he was still eating St. Saint's Diet as an adjutant. Marshal Arnault's old Ben.

To put it bluntly, a large part of the reason why Trochu was able to achieve his current position was because of the saint. Marshal Arnault's legacy.

You must know that the current Trochu is only 39 years old, take Bazin, who is about the same age as him (in fact, Bazin is 4 years older), although the current Bazin is the same rank as him, but Bazin's position is only the head of the Zhuaf regiment.

And Trochu is now in charge of the most elite army in all of France, and it can be said that the gap between the two is obvious to all.

Look at the people who belong to the same division sequence as him, most of them are people in the 40-60 stage, even the youngest Conrobel is now a 45-year-old "old man".

Trochu can be said to be the youngest of all the divisional generals.

If he is not a saint. Marshal Arnault's adjutant, then Trochu simply could not take the commander of the 3rd Division.

Of course, if it is said that the saint. If Marshal Arno had not been seriously ill, Trochu would not have been able to sit at the commander of the 3rd Division.

Trochu himself is Jérôme. Bonaparte deliberately erected a banner in order to let other forces take a look. Marshal Arno is dead, St. Arnault. The forces behind Marshal Arno will not be abandoned by His Majesty the Emperor.

However, whether Trochu will be able to take over the saint. The banner of Marshal Arnault, United St. Marshal Arnault's henchmen, then it depends on his own ability.

The topic is far away, Trochu at this time has not thought of this step, and now he only thinks about whether he can send his old boss on the last ride.

After all, people can't forget their roots.

"Your Majesty!" Trochu's voice was slightly choked.

"Trox, you say!" Jérôme. Bonaparte replied softly.

"Please allow me to resign from the position of division commander to you!" Trochu vs. Jérôme. Bonaparte pleaded.

As soon as this sentence was uttered, Jérôme was immediately attacked. Bonaparte's decisive refusal: "No! I disagree! Major General Trox, this is the battlefield, not the workplace! I, the French army, and not the British army, are not something you can quit if you want! If you really want to quit, then take off your uniform for me! ”

"Then I want to take a vacation!" Major General Trochu retreated to Jérôme. Bonaparte said.

"You need a few days off!" Jérôme. Bonaparte asked Trochu.

"About a week or so!" Major General Trochu vs. Jérôme. Bonaparte replied.

Jérôme. Bonaparte stretched out three fingers and said to Trochu: "Three days, I will give you only three days!" Three days later, you're going to return to the army on time, do you hear? ”

"Yes!" Brigadier General Trochu replied in a sonorous tone.

"Go ahead! You can now travel to Constantinople! "Jérôme. Bonaparte waved at Major General Trochu.

Trochu then asked Jérôme again. Bonaparte, did he have anything else to tell him?

Jérôme. Bonaparte told Trochu that everything would wait until he returned!

"And!" Jérôme. Bonaparte said to Major General Trochu: "Farewell to the saint for us. Marshal Arnault, tell him that we will definitely defeat Russia! ”

After Trochu left, Jérôme. Bonaparte once again gave the order to everyone present: to lower the flag of the French Empire at half-mast in Sevastopol, and at the same time to proclaim to the French army the Saint. News of the death of Marshal Arnault.

Everyone said in unison that they would follow Jérôme. Bonaparte's command.

After saying the sad things of Jérôme. Bonaparte told one thing to be happy about: "There is another thing! According to reliable information, my St. Petersburg brother Nikolai is now suffering from a serious illness! It won't be long before he returns to God's arms! ”

Those present heard Jérôme. Immediately after Bonaparte's second news, a smile of joy appeared on his face.

The current Russian Empire must be dragged by Nicholas I to fight, it is like a compressed bullet, and the harder Nicholas I tried in the early stage, the stronger the later the rebound will be.

In the absence of Nicholas I, their army on the Crimean peninsula would have become even more depressed.

The breakout of the Russian army on the southern front of the Crimean peninsula is just around the corner.

"Your Majesty, I think we should do something!" Conrobel offered his opinion.

"What do you want to do?" Jérôme. Bonaparte replied with interest.

Even though he had figured out the strategy now, he wanted to hear what they had to say.

Conrobert told Jérôme. Bonaparte, who believed that the army should send a group of men to Simferopol to spread the news of the serious illness of Nicholas I, would inevitably be upset in the hearts of the entire Russian Empire.

Then they could take advantage of the turmoil in the hearts of the army to attack everywhere, and the troops of the small town of Yevpatoria quickly went to Perekop and cut off the only passage between Crimea and the interior with lightning speed.

At the same time, the main forces of the coalition forces can attack Saki, Bakhchisaray and Simferopol respectively.

At that time, the Russian Imperial Army will inevitably choose to retreat to Perekop.

When they get to Perekop, they will find that the gates of Perekop have been closed to them, and the 200,000 troops of the Russian Empire will become a turtle in the urn of the coalition forces.

After destroying the elite troops of the Russian Southern Front, are you still afraid that they will not surrender to France?

After listening to Conrobel's strategy, Jérôme. Bonaparte nodded in satisfaction, and at the same time expressed his thoughts to Conrobert and the others.

Finally, Jérôme. Bonaparte again gave an order to Pellissier, asking him to lead the staff of the expeditionary force to draw up a qualified plan and submit it to him in the shortest possible time.

Then at the next coalition meeting, he will coordinate the characters of the various troops, "If this plan succeeds, we will be able to defeat the Russian Empire before winter completely comes, and thus force them to return to the negotiating table!"

If we fail, we may have to wait until the beginning of next spring for a decisive battle with the Russian Empire.

You're running out of time! ”

"I see! Your Majesty! Pelissier looked solemnly at Jérôme. Bonaparte replied.

"That's it! That's all I have to say! Is there anything you would like to add? "Jérôme. Bonaparte asked.

"Your Majesty, when will the new bullets be delivered!" General Conrobert asked.

Jérôme. After thinking for a moment, Bonaparte told Conrobert that the transport ship loaded with 10 million Migne bombs was now docked in the port of Cyprus and was expected to be able to reach Sevastopol in the next two days!

"That's right, Your Majesty! Our division is also a little short of cans and cigarettes, can you get the Quartermaster Department to send some! Boskai continued to make demands.

"Each unit receives a fixed number of supplies each month, and your division can only wait for the next month." Jérôme. Bonaparte glanced at Bosquet with annoyance, knowing that the reason why the 2nd Division was so consumed was that they would go to the nearby villages every week with cans for a wave of "advance consumption".

Today, cans and cigarettes have become the new currency of Crimea.
