Make France Great Again

Chapter 491: Fateful duel?

Omar Pasha himself really disagreed with Conrobel's conjecture that "the Russian Empire will voluntarily withdraw after the coalition forces attack the Sevastopol fortress".

If he commanded the Anglo-French coalition to fight, he would have ordered the command of the coalition to join forces with the defenders of the Silistra fortress to march northwards and drive the Russian Imperial Army out of the Danube Principality. (Omar Pasha did not know at this time that the Danube Principality had already been used by the Sultan's court and the French Empire as a bargaining chip to tempt the Austrian Empire to send troops.)

It is a pity that Omar Pasha himself is not the decision maker of the Coalition Command, nor can he even influence the decision of the Coalition Command.

In terms of the Coalition Command, Omar Pasha was just a follower of orders, and the only people who could really make orders were Marshal Saint Arno and Commander Raglan.

Now that Major General Conrobel has explained to him the location of the next action of the Coalition Command, even if Omar Pasha himself is unwilling, he can only bow his head and obey the command of the Coalition Command.

"What do you need me to do?" Omar Pasha asked Conrobel.

Conrobel told Omar Pasha that he hoped that Omar Pasha could draw some of the troops from the Silistra fortress to cooperate with the coalition forces in the Sevastopol fortress.

In the face of Conrobel's request, Omar Pasha refused in his heart, because the Silistra fortress had just experienced a **** battle, and now he has to continue to the Sevastopol fortress to fight, it is really difficult for a strong man However, he himself could not disobey the orders of the Allied Forces Command.

After pondering for a while, Omar Pasha raised **** and asked Conrobel, "How about 20,000 people?"

"Twenty thousand?" Conrobel repeated in a low voice, which was somewhat inconsistent with Marshal Saint Arnault's expectations.

According to the idea of ​​Marshal Saint Arno, the Turkish army in the Silistra fortress should all set off for the Sevastopol fortress.

"That's right!" Omar Pasha responded to Conrobel: "Now, there are less than 40,000 people left in this fortress! After giving you 20,000 people, only 10,000 people are left in this fortress. There are more than 10,000 people. If you want to defend the fortress, you need at least 10,000 people to use it. You can't let me ignore the Russian Empire on the other side of the Danube and put all the Ottoman Empire on the eastern front into Sevastopol. We are in the fortress battle!"

"20,000 people!" Major General Conrobel nodded and responded to Omar Pasha.

"When are you going to Sevastopol? I will also prepare our troops!" Omar Pasha then asked.

"It may be in the near future, or it may be in a few months... In short, the attack on the Sevastopol fortress is the unchanging plan of the coalition forces!" Major General Conrobel said ambiguously.

At present, the Russian Empire is still on the north bank of the Danube River, and it may be difficult for the Allied Forces Command to make up their minds to use large-scale troops on the Sevastopol fortress.

From the moment the French army entered Varna, the original plan was constantly revised.

Take the support of the Silistra Fortress. Conrobel's army did not plan to support the Silistra Fortress in the previous plan of the General Staff.

However, under the influence of factors such as the tightness of the battle at the fortress of Silistra and the need for a great victory for the French government, Major General Canrobert was ordered to come to the fortress of Silistra for support.

There is never a set plan in the world, and the Tsar and his staff do not follow instructions like marionettes.

The Coalition Command can only make some adjustments from time to time on the basis of the original plan, so that everything is under their control.

If everything goes well, the plan to attack the Sevastopol fortress will definitely be on the agenda.

If things don't go well, the Coalition Command may delay operations.

All these are judged by Marshal Saint Arno of Varna. Conrobel, who is far away from the coalition headquarters, only needs to obey the orders.

"I see!" Omar Pasha nodded and said to Conrobel.

After the two sides had finalized the matter of sending troops, Omar Pasha asked Major General Canrobert if the French army would like to celebrate the victory with them.

"It depends on what they think!" Major General Conrobel politely agreed to Omar Pasha's invitation.

After all, considering that the soldiers of the two countries will be training side by side in the next period of time, the system strengthens the connection between the two sides to help the next battle.

However, Major General Conrobel also euphemistically hopes that the two sides will drink as little as possible, and now is not the time to celebrate their victory over the Russian Empire.

Major General Conrobel's strict self-discipline won the favor of Omar Pasha, and Omar Pasha immediately expressed to Conrobel that he hoped to take a look at the members of the coalition forces who came to support them, and he needed to thank them in person.

Conrobel told Omar Pasha that members of the coalition forces were now stationed at Tabia Bastion.

"Then what are you waiting for! Let's go!" Omar Pasha got up and urged Major General Conrobel.

Gu Yu

Omar Pasha and Major General Conrobel rode their horses to Tabia Bastion. At this time, the coalition troops still obeyed Major General Conrobel's orders and stood in line.

Looking at the Juaff Regiment and the Scottish Musketeer Regiment, whose mental outlook was completely different from the Turkish army, Omar Pasha immediately felt the gap between the two sides.

Omar Pasha dared to say that even if he led a brigade of troops to attack the two regiments, he would definitely lose in the end.

"It is worthy of being a strong European army!" Omar Pasha clapped his hands and praised.

"It's too much!" Major General Conrobel said modestly, but his eyes revealed a sense of pride that he couldn't hide.

...

That night, at the invitation of Omar Pasha, all the members of the coalition troops attended the celebration banquet organized by Omar Pasha.

The fortress of Silistra and the defenders of the three bastions took out all the wine and food left in the fortress under the order of Omar Pasha to celebrate together.

Omar Pasha himself also took out his long-cherished wine and drank it with Major General Conrobel.

During the banquet, Omar Pasha also introduced Colonel Rah, a great hero who defended the fortress, to Conrobel and others. In Omar's words, if it wasn't for Colonel Rah, they would have met God long ago.

In the face of Omar Pasha's love, Colonel Rach just said humbly that this was due to the hard work of the Turkish soldiers, and that it was not just him who designed the bastion at the beginning, but Major General Mao Qi, who was far away in Prussia, deserved more credit. .

Omar Pasha also echoed, "If you don't say it, I almost forgot! Major General Mao Qi was also a member of the design of the bastion at the time. I also heard that Major General Mao Qi has now served as the chief of staff of Prussia, no Do you know if it's true?"

Colonel Rach nodded, and said with a hint of envy in his eyes: "That's right! Thanks to the love of the regent, Major General Mao Qi is already the chief of staff!"

Somehow, after hearing the name of Mao Qi, Major General Conrobel always had a feeling that he had heard it somewhere, but when he thought about it carefully, he couldn't think of where he heard the name.

"General Conrobel, what's the matter with you?"

Omar Pasha's voice reached Major General Conrobel's ears, and Major General Conrobel immediately eased his brows and responded candidly to Omar Pasha: "It's nothing! I just think that the name Colonel Rach said, I seem to Where have you heard it!"

Then, he said casually: "However, it may be the same name! However, I really want to know what Major General Mao Qi has done here!"

"I tell you..." Omar Pasha eloquently told Conrobel about what Mao Qi had done during the Ottoman Empire, including improving the bastions, training the army, and reorganizing the logistics. All-round military personnel.

"It's a pity! Major General Mao Qi has already returned to Prussia!" Omar Pasha said with a regretful sigh.

"It can be seen that he is an indispensable talent!" Major General Conrobel nodded, and said to Colonel Lache with a half-smile: "With him, the Kingdom of Prussia will definitely be able to rebuild its armaments! The humiliation suffered is repaid in full!"

When Conrobert finished saying this, there was an inexplicable smell of gunpowder in the banquet. Seeing this, Colonel Lache hurriedly said: "The Kingdom of Prussia thanks the French Empire for the help it gave us at the beginning! I personally hope that France and Prussia can The two countries can go further and further on the road in the future!"

"Yeah! The past is over, let's look forward to the future together!" Omar Pasha also helped at the right time. He is not like a good banquet being destroyed like this.

Looking at Colonel Rach, who was unwilling to let Prussia suffer unintentional disasters in front of him, Conrobel felt a sense of respect in his heart.

"Colonel, you are a patriot! I am also a patriot, and we all love our monarch and our country!" Conrobel stretched out his hand to ease Colonel Rach.

"That's right!" Colonel Rach held Conrobel's hand.

The two sides once again responded to the happy scene.

The celebration banquet dispersed around 10 o'clock in the evening~www.readwn.com~ The Turkish and coalition troops returned to their respective camps.

Conrobel, who was walking alone on the way back to the camp, continued to think about where he heard the name Moqi.

When Conrobel stepped into his tent with his left foot, he subconsciously looked up at the sky.

Between the lightning and flint, Conrobel suddenly thought that he heard this name in the mouth of the emperor.

The emperor at that time was still a consul, and he told Conrobel that the defeat of the Prussian kingdom in the Prussian confrontation was only temporary. But a great guy.

"Things are getting interesting!"
