Alexander II, who received an answer from Gorchakov, became even more sorrowful.

So in the next few days, Alexander II was more diligent in building fortifications, and bastions and ditches appeared around the city of Bakhchisaray, and the entire Bakhchisaray had been built by Alexander II as a fortress of hope against the attack of the French Empire.

It's just that this fortress of Bakhchisaray, which was strengthened by Alexander II, has a fatal flaw compared with the historical fortress of Sevastopol, that is, the entire Bakhchisaray is not like Sevastopol that can rely on sea transportation for supply, and it can only rely on the supply of the interior of the Russian Empire in the deep inland area.

This means that if the road to Perekop is cut off, the logistics of the entire Bakhchisaray region will be completely destroyed.

The best way to prevent Bakhchisaray's logistical supply from being cut off by the Anglo-French forces was for the Russian Empire to have a force that was both combat-ready and mobile.

This unit will take on the role of a fire brigade, and where there is a problem, the fire brigade will be dispatched to the place where the problem arises.

However, there were no such troops in the hands of the Russian Empire, whether it was the Juaf Regiment in the hands of the French or the Scottish Musket Regiment in the hands of the British, they were crushing the Russian Empire in terms of mobility and combat effectiveness.

Alexander II had no choice but to choose a clumsy, but very effective, method.

This would be done by reducing the number of troops stationed in Bakhchisaray and stockpiling enough food in the Bakhchisaray area.

Only in this way will the Bakhchisaray region be able to hold out for a year and a half, and they will be able to achieve victory.

Alexander II was convinced that as long as the Russian army gritted its teeth and persisted, there would be big problems at home in Britain and France.

It's just that Alexander II, who was caught up in the conjecture of the Showa staff, forgot that the Russian Empire was a more fragile country than Britain and France, and even if there was no rebellion planned by Duke Golitsyn in the hinterland of St. Petersburg, the Russian Empire would have held out for a shorter time than the British and French armies.

Under the orders of Alexander II, the 80,000 Russian soldiers originally stationed in the Bakhchisaray area were reduced to only 50,000 in the blink of an eye.

Nearly 30,000 troops were transferred to Simferopol, while the supply to the Bakhchisaray region remained at the quota of 80,000.

The Russian army in Simferopol, which originally had only 50,000, received only about 60,000 supplies after adding 30,000 troops.

This is not counting the daily deduction of soldiers by officers, if all of them are brokers, on average, each Russian soldier gets only one-fifth of what they have in their hands.

The arrival of the Russian army in Bakhchisaray has made the already difficult life of the Russian army in Simferopol even more difficult.

There is a way to fight for Mien to promote hatred, and the Russian army in Simferopol, whose life is getting worse and worse, immediately shifted the spearhead to the Russian army in Bakhchisaray.

In just two days, there were several vicious brawls and robberies in Simferopol, and Alexander II, who had no choice, had to go to Simferopol in person to calm the conflict.

Under the mediation of Alexander II, the Russian army in Bakhchisaray, which originally had a quota of 80,000 men, had to hand over the quota of 10,000 to the Russian troops stationed in Simferopol.

And the Russian army in Simferopol also took a step back and did not clash with the Russian army in Bakhchisaray.

A storm caused by a supply problem seemed to have been quelled by Alexander II with a method of fifty boards each, but this method was very unfair to the Russian forces in both regions.

It's just that the contradictions between the two sides are still under control.

At the beginning of November, a sudden snowstorm fell for several days, covering the whole land in a thick silver cotton coat.

Alexander II's plans had to be halted by the arrival of the blizzard, and after the storm ended, Alexander II received a message from Perekop.

The mission representing Tsar Nicholas I has arrived on the north bank of Perekop and is expected to arrive in Bakhchisaray tomorrow.

"Then what are you waiting for, let's go!" Alexander II could not wait to make peace with the mission sent by Nicholas I.

"Your Highness, let's wait here quietly for Minister Neschel Rodie's arrival!" Yin vanov, who served as the lieutenant of Alexander II. Gorchakov whispered to dissuade Alexander II, he didn't want any accident with the thigh he had so hard worked so hard to hold.

"I'm not afraid, what are you afraid of!" Alexander II vs. Yin vanov. Gorchakov reprimanded.

"Yes! His Royal Highness "Yin Wanov. Gorchakov had no choice but to agree to Alexander II's request to go to Perekop.

On the morning of this day, Alexander II with Yin vanov. Gorchakov led a detachment of soldiers to fight at Perekop.

In the afternoon of the same day, Alexander II and Yin Wanov. Gorchakov arrived in Perekop and met with the Minister Nesserrodi and the delegation he led.

"Your Highness!" Nesherro immediately saluted Alexander II.

"Your Excellency, thank you for your hard work!" Alexander II said a word to Nesherro Die.

After a brief and polite conversation, Nesherro and Alexander II began a conversation, and Alexander II asked Nesherro if his father, Tsar Nicholas I, would accept the terms offered by France.

Nesherro told Alexander II that Nicholas I did resist the French offer at first, but that he was willing to compromise some of the conditions thanks to his persistent efforts (with a hint of disdain on Gorchakov's face).

Alexander II then asked Nicholas I what conditions he was willing to make concessions, and Nesherro pointed out that Nicholas I was willing to make concessions on the Danube and Ottoman Orthodox issues, that is, the Russian Empire promised to give up the ownership of the Danube, and at the same time, the Russian Empire was also willing to give up part of the Orthodox protection of the Ottoman Orthodox Church, and their security would be transferred to the hands of Britain, France and Austria.

"So, my father is not willing to give up the right of navigation in the Danube region and the dominance of the Russian Empire in the Black Sea region!" Alexander II replied to Nescherrodie.

"Your Highness, the empire has made an indelible contribution to the construction of the Danube, so Your Majesty is not willing to give up on him easily. (In layman's terms: the benefits brought to Russia by monopolizing the navigation rights of the Danube really made Nicholas I a little unbearable!) Nesherro said euphemistically to Alexander II: "And the loss of the Russian Empire's dominance over the Black Sea region means the loss of the future of the Russian Empire!" ”

If you don't cross this threshold, where is the future!

Alexander II lowered his head and complained silently in his heart, then raised his head again and asked Nesherrody: "Minister Nesherrody, how sure are you that you can bring about peace talks!" ”

"Your Highness, all I can say is do your best!" Nesherro responded to Alexander II.

"Hey!" Alexander II sighed, he knew that the question he had just asked was too difficult for a strong man, "All right! You've been tired for almost a day, so I won't bother you! ”

With that, Alexander II left Nechel Rodie's room.

That evening, Ambassador Gorchakov knocked on the door of Nesserrody's room.

"Deputy Gorchakov, is there anything wrong with you?" Nesherrodi asked Gorchakov.

"Minister Neschelrodi, can you tell me how sure you are of winning this battle!" Ambassador Gorchakov asked Neschelro with a serious expression.

Nesherrodi was stunned for a few seconds, then turned sideways to Ambassador Gorchakov and said, "Come in!" ”

Gorchakov entered the room, and Nesserrody closed the door again.

"Do you need one?" Sitting on the couch, Nesher Rodie asked, pointing to the cigar box on the table.

"Please bring me one," Gorchakov replied to Nesserrody.

Nesherro nodded, opened the humidor and handed one to Gorchakov, then prepared another cigar for himself and lit it.

Then he handed the matchbox to Gorchakov, who also took out a match and gently swiped it, and compared with the red phosphorus at the end of the wooden match, Gorchakov hurriedly put the cigar together and lit it.

After a while, the entire room was filled with choking white smoke, and the two people in the smoke showed intoxicated expressions.

Seeing that the cigar was already halfway over, Gorchakov opened his mouth and asked: "Your Excellency, you haven't answered my question yet!" ”

"Mr. Gorchakov, can't you just wait a little longer?" Nischel Rodie asked unhurriedly.

"As long as Your Excellency the Minister is willing to let me keep pumping, then I don't mind waiting for a while!" Gorchakov took a deep breath, then spit it out as if cathartic.

"Then be exempt!" Seeing this, Nerrodi hurriedly put the cigar back away, "This is a fine Havana cigar!" ”

"It turned out to be a Havana cigar!" Gorchakov showed a look of surprise, "It's really breaking your bank!" ”

"Nothing!" Nesherro shook his head and began to get down to business: "Didn't you just ask me how sure you are that you will be able to facilitate this peace talk?" I'm telling you, now you can only be sure of ......"

As he spoke, Neschel Rodie slowly raised three fingers and pointed them at Gorchakov.

"Thirty percent? Isn't that too low! Gorchakov asked Nesherrodi with a slight frown.
