Struggle in Russia

Menshkov's face suddenly looked very ugly. After all, he was a minister of the navy and enjoyed the title of prince. Compared with Paskovic, his status was almost the same, and he might even be a little bit higher in terms of authority.

He came to discuss things with Paskovic, no matter how old Qiubai should give him points, even if he refused, he must be tactful. But Paskovic today was like taking gunpowder, and he came up to categorically refuse to give any face.

This made the old **** very angry. Originally, he came to Paskovic to talk about combat issues. In fact, he didn’t mean Paskovic backed down. He knew very well Lao Qiu Ba’s current situation and knew that the one might not concession.

So he came over more of a gesture, just to tell Paskovic and the navy generals, I have paid attention to this matter, and my attitude is to support you.

So why did Menshkov do this? The reason is very simple, that is, Kornilov and Nasimov have achieved a series of stunning results. First, Nasimov smashed and destroyed the Turkish fleet, and took control of the Black Sea in one fell swoop.

Later, under the planning and deployment of Kornilov and Nasimov, the powerful British and French fleets were blocked out of the Black Sea through mine-laying operations, turning the Black Sea into Russia’s inland sea. You can do whatever you want. You have to know this. But unprecedented.

Anyway, King Nicholas I was extremely satisfied with Kornilov and Nasimov, and he praised him more than once, and even praised him when he wrote to Menshkov.

Menshkov must also pay attention to all the characters that Nicholas I valued, especially if these two men were in his navy, he naturally must pay more attention to them.

Now Kornilov and Nasimov have been refuted by Paskovic. As the head of the navy, Menshkov had nothing to say, what would the people below think of him, even with those meritorious veterans. How to talk about him.

It might be said that he is indeed a member of the Army, or he is still facing the Army, completely turning his elbow out.

Although such remarks won't cause any substantial damage to Menshkov's status, but after all, it is a lot of money, and he must support the Navy's face.

Then this time Grand Duke Constantine arrived in Ineada with him almost fore and aft, and as soon as he came up he clearly expressed his support for Kornilov. The posture seemed to be uneasy and kind and menacing.

Menshkov knew that this grand prince was not a good stubborn, so he might hold back the opportunity to dig his corner, so he was naturally more nervous, and he could only stand up and make some expressions to let the navy see their navy. The minister is still on the side of the navy.

It’s just that Menshkov didn’t expect Paskovic to be so disrespectful, so he refused. You said how to let him step down, even if he was pretending to be before, now he must show something real, otherwise he really didn’t. There is no way to continue to control the navy.

"What do you mean by that, you are the commander-in-chief, but in this battle, our navy and army will cooperate sincerely and fight together. Your every move will affect our navy. As the minister of the navy, I will never watch you. My boy pushes into the fire pit!"

To be honest, Menshkov’s statement is still not particularly tough. He did not directly accuse Paskovic, but only said that he wanted to safeguard the interests of the Navy.

His meaning is actually very clear, which is to imply that Paskovic: You want to continue to attack, yes, I can't stop it. But if you continue to do that, don't bring the people from our navy to death. It doesn't matter how you want to toss as long as you don't involve our navy!

Can Paskovic understand this hint?

Of course he understands after so many years in officialdom, but it does not mean that he is willing to follow suit.

The reason is very simple. Russia has invested a total of about 100,000 troops for this landing operation, of which the navy provided about 30,000. Except for the naval infantry, Paskovic’s actual force is actually only about 60,000.

If you count the things he sacrificed in vain yesterday, the army actually only has 50,000. If you remove the garrison that stood on the ground, Paskovic will be able to put in 40,000 for the offensive.

How can such a small number of people be able to use it?

Although Paskovic is a bastard, he is by no means stupid. There are more than one hundred thousand coalition forces facing him. How can 40,000 people be able to fight? What's more, after seeing the artillery power of the Anglo-French coalition forces, he became more and more panicked, let alone 40,000, and doubling to 80,000 may not necessarily have a good effect.

Therefore, Menshkov proposed that it is absolutely impossible for the navy not to participate in the subsequent offensive operations, which is equivalent to reducing him by nearly half of the force. In any case, he must let the navy join him.

Otherwise, it would be tantamount to indirectly giving up the offensive plan, and it would also be tantamount to letting the entire landing operation come to an end.

For the above reasons, Paskovic can only deny Menshkov this face, and can only pretend not to understand his hints.

Although Menshkov is the Minister of the Navy, he doesn't know much about the entire combat operation to be honest. He also knows the general idea, and he doesn't know that Paskovic's situation is so difficult.

Naturally, he couldn't understand Paskovic's extremely determined determination, so such a weak statement would definitely be useless.

Sure enough, Paskovic snorted coldly: "Your Majesty’s order is very clear. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com naval and army landing forces are under my command. The navy wants to withdraw, you can! Go and get your Majesty’s warrant. I agree! If not, then forgive me!"

This tone is not generally tough, and there is simply no discussion at all. Menshkov was dumbfounded on the spot.

"What do you mean!" Grand Duke Constantine couldn't help it, and interrupted: "Father is to appoint you but the commander in chief, but the order given to you is to lead us to victory, not to let you lead the troops to death. !"

Paskovic just slanted a glance at Archduke Constantine, and immediately said coldly: "Send to death? I am now leading the troops to win the victory. It is you who are interfering with me to win the victory!"

"Your Excellency, if you don't understand the situation here, you will naturally have a misunderstanding, so I don't care about your fault in interfering with the command. But if you must do that, I can only respond to your majesty!"

Well, Grand Duke Constantine was also stunned. He didn't figure out why Lao Qiubai was so aggressive, and he didn't even put him in the eyes of the prince. He was suddenly very hot...remember the website's website, Www. biquxu. Com, easy to read next time, or enter "" on Baidu to enter this site
