Struggle in Russia

Does Li Xiao have a solution? Strictly speaking, no, because the situation is there, the Archduke Constantine is a tough guy, and at the moment, their father and son are like gamblers who have lost their eyes.

And the power that Russia can mobilize has basically been mobilized. Unless the situation on the other side of the Danube changes greatly, Russia simply does not have more troops to use in Crimea.

Once Archduke Constantine fails this attack and exhausts the last mobile force in Crimea, it can basically be said that the fall of Sevastopol is only a matter of time.

No matter how much preparation Kornilov and Nakhimov did, the result would be delay but unavoidable. To tell the truth, this pit can't be filled by anyone else, it's a dead chess at all.

Li Xiao sighed and said, "If it's just to solve the problem of drinking water, I can still help you, but in the long run, it is not very difficult to defend Sevastopol, and it can even be said that it is rather disappointing!"

Kornilov and Nakhimov looked at each other, and they were not very surprised by the answer. They were psychologically prepared for this when the coalition troops landed in Crimea. Especially after Menshkov and others continued to deliver food desperately, they knew that it would be as difficult to defend Sevastopol as it was to go to the sky.

For them, the question of whether they can hold on has not been considered. They are now being a monk for one day and hitting the clock for one day.

"Then tell me how to solve the problem of drinking water?" Kornilov sighed.

"Hurry up and try to dig a well in the city! It looks like you still have two months left," Li Xiao replied. "It's best to try to build some water reservoirs to store as much water as possible!"

Kornilov and Nakhimov immediately felt pain, because if Sevastopol was suitable for drilling wells to extract groundwater, why bother to build a diversion canal. As for building a cistern, Nima, how can there be such space in the city?

How big is the reservoir for tens of thousands of people to drink water? Isn't this a joke!

"I can help you find a solution for the problem of drilling wells. I have some experts in this area. As for the reservoir, try to build it as much as possible. Anything is better than nothing!"

Kornilov and Nakhimov sighed after looking at each other. That's all there is to it now, but they were very curious about Li Xiao's purpose. They didn't believe that someone was willing to take a risk and just come here to reminisce.

"The main purpose of my trip is to see the situation on the two sides... The second is to hope that the two of you can cooperate with us to carry out some harassment operations, and we must attack the sea lines of communication of the coalition forces, otherwise once the spring begins, your side will be affected. The situation will take a turn for the worse, and the whole battle will collapse by then!"

Kornilov and Nakhimov showed stern expressions, and they naturally knew that the prospect was very bad, and the moment when the spring flowers bloomed was their fatal moment. Once Sevastopol is captured by the coalition forces, the blow to Russia will be extremely fatal!

They are also unwilling to be sinners of the nation and the country, and even if they try to support them, they hope to last longer.

"Battling the coalition sea lines of communication? It's easier said than done!" Nakhimov sighed. …

In fact, he, the person in charge of commanding the Black Sea Fleet, is now the most depressed one. More than ten years before the war, they kept asking the Admiralty and Nicholas I to build more steamships. But the old **** and the tsar were so stubborn that they didn't listen at all.

As a result, the war has now started, and the Black Sea Fleet, the steam fleet, is at a comprehensive disadvantage. Although the withdrawal into the Azov Sea temporarily avoided the annihilation of the entire army, but such an existing fleet is not much different from the entire army?

It's just a decoration!

Thinking of this Kornilov and Nakhimov is full of anger. If their suggestions back then could be implemented, would they be so passive now?

But it is meaningless to say this now. What they are more curious about is what Li Xiao will use to attack the sea line of communication of the coalition forces.

Li Xiao replied confidently: "The naval battle is not the only way for the big fleet to fight. Although we have lost control of the sea now, we have nothing to do with the coalition fleet. But that doesn't mean we can't do anything!"

Li Xiao walked to the map of the Black Sea and said, "Although the main fleet of the coalition is very powerful,
