Struggle in Russia

Vol 3 Chapter 564: Not going well (top)

Paskovic's indifferent tone made the staff look at each other for a while, because they told Paskovic the reason for this because they thought the matter was already serious, and if they didn't interfere, they might affect the subsequent operations.

But who would have thought that Paskovic was so "rapid", as if it were just a small matter of sesame green beans.

Finally the staff officers couldn't help but reminded: "Your Excellency, the epidemic has caused a large-scale attrition. Almost a quarter of the troops have lost combat effectiveness. If it continues, it will fully affect..."

"It's all trivial!" Paskovic waved his hand impatiently, and interrupted: "Which time do we fight without reducing the number of troops? Just let the rear draw more troops to make up, no need to make a fuss!"

Well, even the commander-in-chief has such an attitude. What can the staff members say, and seeing his impatient appearance, if you try to persuade him, I’m afraid you will be DISSed. Forget it, anyway, the pot is your commander-in-chief. We will do our best.

Paskovic’s irresponsible actions pitted him not only, but also disgusted when he brought it to Duke Mikhail. Because the source of troops is extremely tense now, he is under a lot of pressure, and he has been drew a lot of elites, which is an urgent need to supplement.

Paskovic has been decimating his staff and robbing him of reinforcements. What do you mean by this?

"That **** will kill us!"

Hearing this news, Duke Mikhail was furious. He snarled angrily: "Tell him, if he will let the sickness and staff be reduced, then I will tell your majesty, let him teach him how to do hygiene! "

This is actually an angry word, because even if Duke Mikhail did this, Paskovic guessed it would be his own way, and his character would not listen to Duke Mikhail at all. And even if it is not meaningful to file a complaint with Nicholas I, it takes ten and a half days for the small report to be sent to St. Petersburg, and the day lily is cold all the time.

What's more, Nicholas I didn't listen. He probably had the same attitude as Paskovic. He didn't care about any disease at all. He believed in the tradition and thought how he had won Turkey in the past, so now it's better to draw a gourd.

Duke Mikhail’s temper is to show his attitude at most, to tell Paskovic that he is already very upset, if he continues to do this nonsense, then he will explode, if what happens at that time Things that are not harmonious, don't blame him.

It can only be said that this is very helpless, it is the last resort. As for the effect, I can only say one thing. After Paskovic heard the news, although he was not afraid of Duke Mikhail, he still had to give the face, otherwise the news would reach St. Petersburg, and the big guys should say that he No one is defiant.

He is not too afraid of public opinion, but Duke Mikhail also has a group of brothers and friends after all, and the power is not much smaller than him. If you really want to fall out for such a small matter, you will have to forge grudges later, which is very troublesome. !

Therefore, he can only slightly care about the problem of attrition due to illness. Although it was just a look, he finally picked up the health regulations again, which is a remedy.

It’s just that the cost of remedial prisons is a bit heavy. According to post-war statistics, the epidemic caused about 20,000 non-combat attritions, which also affected residents near Constanta, resulting in a large number of deaths.

And all this could have been avoided because Paskovic’s inattention and inattention caused a tragedy.

In fact, it can also be seen from this that the senior Russian officers' attitude towards this war is not concerned about casualties. For them, this is just a game. What counts as death of a few NPCs?

But all the people on the battlefield are not NPCs. They are all flesh and blood. They have emotions, anger, sorrow, and joy. They cannot be fooled. Once they realize that you are fooling, then either they will fool you too, or they will stab and jump. The most iron and blood method tells you that they are also human.

After more than two months of intense preparation, Paskovic’s dream boat and people were all gathered, and he couldn’t wait to order to start action immediately.

With his order, hundreds of ships of various sizes, carrying thousands of naval infantrymen, set sail from Sevastopol and headed straight for Ineada.

This Ineada was located at the junction of Bulgaria and Turkey in later generations. It was not a big city, but a small port. To be honest, the strategic value is very general. The reason why I chose this place as the landing point is simple, that is, Ineada is not too far from Istanbul, but it can avoid the tightly fortified area of ​​Istanbul to facilitate the landing of the Russian army.

This is also no alternative. Even if the Russian army requisitioned a large number of civilian ships and even fishing boats, it was still too few. In the first wave, up to 5,000 troops were put ashore.

There are too few people at this point. If you encounter the main force of the Turkish army, you will be driven into the sea within minutes. The landing site must not be too far away from Istanbul, otherwise the effect of the raid will be compromised.

So I measured it around, and finally selected Ineada as a small place, which is neither heavily guarded nor too far away from Istanbul. Both are suitable.

The subsequent operations are similar to the Russian army's expectations, although since the Black Sea Fleet took control of the sea, Sudan has ordered the strengthening of coastal defense, especially for the ports along the Black Sea.

But after all, Turkey's national strength is limited. After the heavy-armed group of millions of Uukahanshu.com presses down on the Danube River, how much force can it squeeze out to strengthen coastal defense?

Naturally, that was the situation. The Turkish army's defenders in Ineada consisted of two battalions with almost a thousand men. Under the attack of the superior firepower of the Black Sea Fleet, they collapsed in minutes. The landing troops landed safely almost unscathed and captured the entire Ineada that day.

This is of course good news. It indicates that the first phase of the operation will be carried out smoothly. Next, we only need to quickly transport the follow-up main force to Ineada, and then we can march towards Istanbul.

At least according to Paskovic's plan, he was prepared to do so. but! The good luck of the Russian army faded away. After the Black Sea Fleet sent more than 20,000 naval infantry to Ineada, a sudden cold wave hit the coast of the Black Sea. The high winds and huge waves not only overturned many requisitioned fishing boats. Also interrupted the transportation plan of the Black Sea Fleet.

This cold wave that lasted for three days forced the Black Sea Fleet to stay in the harbor, and this gave the Turks time to react. After learning the news of the Russian landing, the horrified Sudan immediately assembled and deployed troops for the first time. Choosing to counterattack, the Turkish troops coming from the direction of Asia Minor and the direction of Bulgaria attacked the landing forces of the Black Sea Fleet from two directions...
