Struggle in Russia

Vol 3 Chapter 623: Mine

After Menshkov and Archduke Konstantin started the mode of high suspension, Kornilov and Nasimov had nothing to do with Paskovic. Can only watch this old Qiu Ba continue to die.

Why do you say it is death?

The reason is simple, that is, the situation is far more severe than the secret report sent by the third spy. At this time, about 150,000 people, the main force of the British and French coalition forces, have arrived near Ineada, and are making final preparations and rest before the general offensive.

In addition, there is a steady stream of British and French coalition forces disembarking at the port of Istanbul, and the preliminary estimate is that the number is more than 50,000.

In other words, a total of 200,000 British and French coalition forces are about to arrive on the battlefield, and they will also arrive at the battlefield with a huge amount of materials, including an endless number of explosive bombs.

You can imagine what a terrifying scene once the artillery of the coalition fired again.

Moreover, in the port of Istanbul, the British and French fleets are also having final discussions. Yes, the British and French fleets believe that they want to quickly defeat Russia and seize control of the Black Sea is a very critical step.

As long as the Black Sea dominates the sea, the Russian Black Sea coast will be completely exposed to the firepower of the coalition forces. The coalition forces can attack wherever they want to attack. They can even follow the example of the Russian army to conduct a landing operation in the Russian hinterland, such as cutting off Ukraine’s access to Wallach. Asia's transportation routes are under the intensive consideration of the coalition forces.

It's just that the mines all over the outside of the strait are a big problem. There is no good way for Britain and France to deal with this kind of super high destructive weapon. More than a dozen Turkish cargo ships and warships have been sunk by sea mines one after another. If they rush through, they may suffer heavy losses.

But if you don't rush into it, there is no particularly good way to pass through this dangerous sea. Anyway, the only way after the commanders of the British and French fleets held a meeting for a week is to let the Turks die.

Of course, they would not say that on the face of it, but instead encouraged the Turks to form a death squad, organized a dozen large merchant ships to clear the way, and then the main fleet of the coalition forces followed far behind.

If the Turks had never agreed to such a wicked solution. But now they immediately agreed after some consideration.

The reason is very simple. The Turks are a bit "moved" by Britain and France. When Britain and France had been supporting them to withstand Russian pressure before, to be honest, the Turks had no real heart at all, and they always felt that they would be sacrificed as cannon fodder.

This is why the Turks were so entangled in the previous negotiations. And now, with the continuous arrival of the main force of the British and French coalition forces, with the massive military aid and other materials arriving in Istanbul.

Turkey found that although Britain and France still despise themselves, they regard themselves as inferior. But I really spare no effort to give things, and the massive coalition is not a joke. Anyway, Turkey is a little bit of tears, how rare it is that they have finally stopped being tricked by monkeys for so many years!

Because of this rare experience, they also cherish the hard-won friendship between Britain and France even more. Not to mention letting them organize a group of merchant ships to send them to death, even let them kneel and lick it!

Anyway, the relevant strategy was quickly finalized. On a clear morning, ten tattered Turkish merchant ships lined up and rushed out of Istanbul, and behind them more than 30 British and French warships and remnants of the Turkish navy. The small broken ship slowly followed and slipped out of the pier.

In the first few nautical miles, there were no problems at all. The wind and the waves were calm and the years were calm, but not long after driving out of Istanbul, the sloop that rushed to the forefront became ill-followed by a loud boom. There was a huge water column more than ten meters high on the sea.

This poor sloop was directly blown to pieces, anyway, the commander of the British and French fleet watching from behind was a palpitating heart. Because this power is so terrible, at least they have never seen such a powerful weapon. If they take the initiative to clean up the sloop, even if the main gun is fully fired, it will take a long time, and it is completely impossible to remove it. Tear to pieces, at most, it means to hit a riddled hole and then sink into water.

The direct explosion to pieces like this is beyond their imagination, and even makes them wonder whether Russia has practiced witchcraft.

"There are nine more ships."

The Turkish navy commander smiled awkwardly, and said flatly to the British commander: "Please rest assured, we will do our best for this operation, and we will definitely take your fleet out!"

The British commander just snorted about this. For him, the Turkish junk merchant ship was blown to pieces. Anyway, they had already paid compensation before. The Turks had to do business if they dared to take the money. As for the dead and injured crew members, he only felt that there must be a brave man under the heavy money, and those who wanted money for life did not need his extra sympathy.

After a few minutes of walking, another Turkish merchant ship, ranked third in the fleet, struck mine again. There was a loud noise and a huge water column. However, this merchant ship had better luck and the mine was in the front. Except that the bow of the ship was blown up and quickly sank into the water, it was not as miserable as the previous one.

Even the crew of this ship survived two or three. These extremely lucky guys were thrown out of the ship's side at the moment of the lightning strike and luckily took a life. As for their companions in the cabin, they are already fishing on the bottom of the sea at this moment.

"It's only half an hour!"

The French commander took out his pocket watch and looked at the time~www.readwn.com~ His brows were frowned, because the loss rate was so alarming that he lost two ships in half an hour after leaving the port. When they rushed out of the minefield, I am afraid that the death squad at the front would be completely lost.

Just when he was worried and wanted to say but didn't know what to say, there was another loud noise behind him. When he turned his head to look around, a French frigate had been lifted out of the water by a huge wave, and a hole of several square meters was visible to the naked eye near the keel.

Before the French commander could exclaim, the poor French frigate slammed back into the sea into two sections. In just five minutes, this one-thousand-ton large frigate disappeared on the sea, and none of the officers and soldiers on the ship survived.

"What's going on? Why are there mines behind?"

The French commander uttered an angry cry, but there was no one on this question, at least the people present could not answer him.

It can only be said that the French are too unlucky. The mines floating in the sea must follow the waves. Even if there is a death squad in front of them, you can't prevent the waves from bringing nearby mines... Remember this website, www. biquxu.
