Struggle in Russia

Vol 3 Chapter 632: Can't get up

The conflict between Austria and Russia immediately aroused the attention of the whole Europe. People who do not like Russia think that the polar bears are killing them, gloating and waiting for Russia to be hanged. Those who like Russia are worried about it and deeply worried about their own destiny.

What these two groups of people did not expect was that when they were happy or worried, the olive branch that Britain and France handed over to Austria through secret channels was flatly rejected. After all, the Austrians did not dare to take the last step and chose to completely turn their faces with Russia.

However, from a general historical perspective, this is actually not important, because whether Austria joins or does not join the hunt for polar bears, Russia's destiny is basically doomed.

The difference is that Austria failed to become the last straw to crush the camel. It’s just that Austria’s improper straw will sooner or later other countries or other people will come to this straw, this is irresistible.

Closer to home, the dispute on the border between Wallachia and Transylvania soon ended with the unanimous "tacit cooperation" of both sides. Austria only verbally warned and condemned Wallachia with a few words, bluffing and howling twice, there was no new action.

On the other hand, Russia seemed to have nothing to do with this matter. The diplomatic system did not respond at all, and did not even mention it incidentally.

As for the so-called Wallachia side, it is a righteous warning to Austria not to cross the border to do things again. If Austria insists on challenging Wallachia's sovereignty and integrity, it will stay with it to the end.

Anyway, after shouting two voices, there was no other action. Although the soldiers on both sides of the border lined up and waited hard, both the Austrian and Wallachian National Army were ordered by their superiors not to act arbitrarily, especially not to provoke new ones. Conflict.

Then the conflict, which was not a particularly large scale, subsided. The two sides were hostile to each other through guard, but after all, there was no further action.

However, it is not difficult for sharp-eyed people to see that this incident, which both sides have deliberately dealt with and downplayed, has actually declared the complete disintegration of the Holy Alliance and the complete breakdown of the allied relations between Russia and Austria.

Now it is just the last dream of having the same bed before the divorce. It is conceivable that the situation in Central and Eastern Europe will be completely rewritten for dozens or even hundreds of years in the future, and fierce conflicts may erupt in the future around the loose empire of Austria.

It's just that these are still too far away, let's talk about the battlefield first. The situation of the Russian army in Ineada is getting worse every day. After the non-stop artillery bombardment lasted for half a month, the coalition forces finally made up their minds to start a total.

About 50,000 people from the Anglo-French allied forces launched wave after wave of fierce attacks towards Ineada from three directions. Suddenly, the Russian army was under great pressure.

"Your Excellency Commander-in-Chief, as of today at 18:00, three streets in the front of our right-wing position have been occupied by the enemy. The 17th Army on the right-wing launched three counterattacks, but they were all repelled by the enemy’s superior artillery fire. Our army lost about 3,000. people."

"Today, the left wing has also repelled a total of five enemy offensives. The young men of the Second Guards Infantry Army are very tenacious. They also launched a counterattack in the absence of artillery cover, killing and wounding a total of about 2,000 enemy prisoners... However, they have also suffered heavy losses. About 4,000 people have been killed and injured, and they urgently need to be supplemented."

"As for the center of our army's position, the pressure was extremely heavy. We encountered a fierce attack from about 20,000 enemies. The Fifth Guards Army and naval infantry held their positions all day under the enemy's bullet rain, preventing the enemy from moving forward...but Our army also paid the price of nearly 4,000 casualties."

There was no expression on Paskovic's face, as if he hadn't heard the terrible number of casualties. Even this old face has nothing but gray age spots. Those brown eyes are dull, just like the eyeballs of a dead person.

For a long while, his chief of staff could not wait for his instructions before cautiously reminding again: "Your Excellency Commander, the front-line troops are strongly demanding reinforcements and urgently need to supplement urgently needed medicines and food, do you think..."

"Is it something?"

Paskovic spoke quietly, but just like a wounded beast roaring.

"Can you retreat? Tell them, whoever dares to retreat I will shoot him!"

The chief of staff stood silently, not only because he didn't know what to say, but because he didn't dare to offend the wounded old beast.

"Is there any news from Constanta?" Paskovic sighed and asked quietly: "Did Prince Mikhail agree to send reinforcements to meet us?"

Yes, just three days ago, after suffering an unprecedented fierce attack, Paskovic also realized that it is very difficult to hold on to Ineada with his existing forces, so he hoped that Duke Mikhail could pull him. One hand, several tens of thousands of reinforcements to help him consolidate his position so that he can stick to the day when Nicholas I's will be conveyed to St. Petersburg.

It's just that he definitely can't talk about this idea directly, because it's very shameless and will lose his old face, saying that the reason he gave out is to call for reinforcements in order to continue to complete the set task.

According to his idea, as long as there are reinforcements, he must try his best to block the onslaught of the coalition forces. Then, after Nicholas I's latest will, if he is allowed to retreat, he can pat his **** and leave calmly. If that majesty asks him to continue the mission~www.readwn.com~ then he can continue to look for the dignitaries of Duke Mikhail, even if the mission is not completed in the end, it doesn’t matter, he can completely say that the enemy’s strength is beyond. It is expected that it is not because our army is not doing well, but because the enemy is using a sea of ​​people tactics!

The chief of staff naturally knew what Laoqiu's calculations were, but in his opinion, this set might not be useful to Duke Mikhail. Not to mention that Duke Mikhail is also extremely tight. It is hard to say whether he can mobilize tens of thousands of people for reinforcements.

Even if someone else is not necessarily willing to help this? After all, people tried their best to oppose you for landing operations before, and you can't get up now, and hope that others will help you move the ladder to get you down. How could it be possible.

Anyway, if he is Duke Mikhail, he will directly refuse Paskovic's request, or maybe even take the opportunity to ridicule him.

Most of the chief of staff's guesses are still reliable. Duke Mikhail certainly does not have tens of thousands of reinforcements, but he is not cynic, that is not in line with the style of the officialdom, and how can a person like him do things. So ugly?

Even if you want to ridicule and sarcasm, you have to make others unable to pick out the thorn, but you can respond to you, Lao Qiu Ba is... Remember the website of this site, www. biquxu. Com, easy to read next time, or enter "" on Baidu to enter this site
