Make France Great Again

Under the insistence of Nicholas I, Prince Dolgorukov had to express to Nicholas I that he would definitely speed up the formulation of plans to start the attack around August.

"August!" Nicholas I shouted loudly. Now he doesn't even want to wait a quarter of an hour. Dolgorukov even told him that he would have to wait a month!

"Yes! Your Majesty!" Prince Dolgorukov responded humbly to Nicholas I, and then told Nicholas I of the predicament that the Russian Empire was now facing.

The empire's strength on the southern front has reached the point where the east wall is to be replaced by the west wall. From the province of Bessarabia to the Crimea peninsula to the Caucasus, it is necessary to guard against the surprise attacks of British and French warships and small groups of troops. .

[Here is a brief summary of the recent battles in Crimea: Since Pelissier led the army to occupy Sevastopol, his prestige in the coalition forces has surpassed that of Commander Raglan. Therefore, after receiving an order from Jérôme Bonaparte from Paris to reinforce Sevastopol and turn it into a giant fortress, he dispatched troops to reinforce the north and south banks of Sevastopol, especially the ridges on the north bank. Fort, clearing the wrecks blocking the entrance to the port of Sevastopol, while dispatching a fleet with a small force to bombard the coastal cities of the Russian Empire, exhausting them.

At the same time, he wrote to the sultans of the Ottoman Empire, asking them to continue to increase their leverage in the Caucasus. 】

Therefore, the Russian Empire needs to keep a certain amount of troops in every city on the southern front. The troops of more than 30,000 people originally drawn from the Caucasus region are also due to the new (in fact, the old governor) Governor Vorontsov of the Caucasus region. After pleading, he was forced to be transferred back to resist the offensive of the Ottoman Empire and maintain the logistics of the Caucasus.

"Dolgorukov, tell me what you have done all this time?" Nicholas I pointed at Dolgorukov with a slightly trembling finger, he "doesn't understand" the former "confidant" Why does the love will oppose him everywhere now!

Is he really wrong? Shouldn't this war really go on?

In just a split second, a distraught Nicholas I thought of ending the war.

However, this idea lasted less than 2 seconds in Nicholas I's mind, and was rejected by Nicholas I.

To end the war now would prove to the outside world that he and his Russian Empire are nothing more than paper tigers.

Nicholas I now firmly believes that when the Russian Empire fails to make Europe fearful, that is when the Russian Empire will be divided.

For the sake of the Russian Empire, he could not have any weak ideas.

Of course, Nicholas I's ideas were nothing but wishful conclusions of his own.

The whole of Europe is apart from Palmerston, a slightly stunned man who is determined to destroy the Russian Empire in order to maintain the hegemony of the British kingdom.

None of the mainstream European countries wants Russia to die.

At most, all countries are thinking of weakening the Russian Empire, making it impossible for the Russian Empire to interfere in the whole of Europe, thereby leaving room for the diplomacy of the whole of Europe to turn around.

If the Russian Empire is outright brain dead, who can stop the French Empire?

Don't look at the fact that everyone in Europe is now afraid of the justice execution of the Russian Empire, but when the Vienna Conference just opened, all countries were eager to find some opponents for the French Empire.

The transition of European countries from guarding against Russia to guarding against Russia is only a recent matter.

Although European countries did not want the Russian Empire to be divided, it did not mean that they wanted Nicholas I to continue to rule.

Neither Nicholas I nor Alexander II can represent the entire Russian Empire.

"Your Majesty, I'm guilty!" In the face of Nicholas I's rebuke, Dolgorukov did not choose to justify what he had done. He bluntly admitted his mistake to Nicholas I, "I may not be able to be a minister of war. position, please allow the minister to resign from the post of war minister and find another worthy person."

Dolgorukov's answer caught Nicholas I by surprise.

He originally just wanted Dolgorukov to give him a suitable excuse, then he scolded Dolgorukov a few words, and then stabbed him to speed up the march to Sevastopol, preferably in mid-July Start attacking left and right. (It's only a week or so away from mid-July now)

Who would have thought that Dolgorukov would threaten him with his resignation again.

snort! Does he really think that without him, I can't find anyone? No big deal, I can make it myself!

The increasingly radical Nicholas I pointed at Dolgorukov and reprimanded: "Dolgorukov, you said you want to resign? Very good! I will satisfy you! From now on, you will not Take up the post of Minister of War again!"

As soon as Nicholas I's voice fell, Crown Prince Alexander's expression changed drastically.

On behalf of the General Staff and Dolgorukov, he is very clear about the situation between the Ministry of War and the southern front. The problems of the southern front are logistics, weapons, military salaries, and soldiers. If these three If the problem cannot be solved, what if the commander is changed.

It is impossible for the commander to create a pile of supplies and weapons out of thin air, and now is the time of war, and changing the commander on the spot may affect the operation of the entire system.

Dolgorukov has been in the Ministry of War for a long time, and the entire Ministry of War is almost all promoted by him. Although their ability is far less than that of his teacher Yomini, but Barely able to maintain the operation of the military machine of the Ministry of War.

Once Dolgorukov resigns, the people promoted by Dolgorukov will inevitably feel scared, and the entire department will be panicked.

At that time, it is still unknown whether the machine of the Ministry of War will work.

Not to mention, Dolgorukov himself has not suffered a major defeat like Menshkov, and he himself has been meticulously maintaining the stability of the Russian imperial war machine.

If you deal with it hastily, I am afraid it will be difficult to convince the public!

After weighing the pros and cons, Crown Prince Alexander decided to stand up and say two words of justice for Dolgorukov, in order to ease the atmosphere that is almost about to break now.

I saw Alexander II stretched out his hand to block Dolgorukov's way, and looked firmly at Nicholas I on the throne.

At this time, Alexander II "actually" discovered the wrinkles on Nicholas I's face.

Dad is still old after all!

Alexander II had a disrespectful thought in his heart, and felt that his father was aging at an unprecedented rate. Such aging was not only reflected in his age, but also in his personality and style of doing things.

If Nicholas I a few years ago would never have used this method to depose Dolgorukov, he would gradually weaken Dolgorukov's wings and lift him up, and then kick Dolgorukov away with one kick. Gorukov.

Now he...

"Alexander, let him go!" Nicholas I ordered Crown Prince Alexander with a tired voice in his majesty.

"His Royal Highness, let me leave!" Prince Dolgorukov whispered to Alexander II.

"Your Majesty, I don't think you should dismiss Prince Dolgorukov!" Crown Prince Alexander said to Nicholas I with a sonorous weapon.

"Should not be dismissed? Shouldn't Dolgorukov be dismissed for disobeying the tsar?" Nicholas I got up from the throne and looked at Alexander II under the steps, looking like an angry king.

"Your Majesty, Dolgorukov is not against you!" Crown Prince Alexander responded without any fear, and then explained to Nicholas I what Dolgorukov had done recently.

Including but not limited to rectifying the logistics of the southern front, recruiting new soldiers, formulating combat plans, strengthening the defense of key cities in the southern front, and preventing the recurrence of old events on the Crimea Peninsula, etc...

"Prince Dolgorukov has always followed your instructions and prepared for war in an orderly manner!" Alexander II said to Nicholas I sincerely: "In order to complete the task you explained, Prince Dolgorukov has already I haven't had a good rest for days!"

Hearing this, Nicholas I was also moved, and he asked with a serious expression: "Dolgorukov, is this true?"

"Your Majesty!" Dolgorukov turned and bowed to Nicholas I, the meaning of which was self-evident.

"Zhen..." Nicholas I wanted to say something, but after all, he couldn't say anything. He just asked indifferently: "How long will it take for our troops deployed on the southern front to act!"

"Around mid-August!" Dolgorukov once again said to Nicholas I: "According to the Empire's intelligence on the Crimea Peninsula, the Empire must use about 200,000 troops to make a move. It takes a month for a huge army to prepare logistical preparations alone~www.readwn.com~ is recruited from all over the Russian Empire to form a new army on the southern front, and it also takes time to run in."

Crown Prince Alexander also told Nicholas I that the plan for the attack on the Sevastopol fortress formulated by the General Staff had already been completed by the end of June. What they have to do between now and mid-August are two things, the first thing The second thing is to gather the logistics needed by the 200,000 troops.

"Okay! I can give you this time!" Nicholas I nodded and said to Alexander and Dolgorukov: "The time of the attack is set for late August. From now until late August, I will No question! Alexander!"

Hearing Nicholas I shouting, Alexander II quickly responded: "Your Majesty!"

"You will be solely responsible for military issues in the future. I'm tired!"
