Struggle in Russia

Dmitry didn't think that Count Rostovtsev's decision-making was particularly wise. At least there was no mistake in the decision-making on the Ukrainian rebellion, at least there was a problem. How could Ukraine be left alone?

This is the granary of Russia and even Europe! How can you be so cruel when it is related to the survival of tens of millions of people!

Especially when Dmitry arrived in Ukraine and saw the most real situation in Ukraine, he felt more and more that Count Rostovtsev made a big mistake!

"Where's the information from Chernihiv? Why hasn't it come yet!"

Dmitry stared at the map, dissatisfied with the current situation. Not only did he have problems with logistical supplies, he also had problems with the morale of the troops, and more importantly, he didn't know anything about the strength of the Chernihiv rebels!

Before going abroad to fight in Wallachia, with the full cooperation of Li Xiao and Alexei, he has not discovered that there are a lot of basic problems in the Russian army.

For example, when it comes to the most basic map for marching and fighting, he doesn't even have a detailed map of the surrounding areas of Chernishdu! The most accurate map at hand turned out to be an antique from fighting Napoleon half a century ago.

What is the use of this thing? Fifty years have passed, not to mention that things are right and wrong, at least the road traffic has undergone great changes, God knows what stupid mistakes he will make if he really wants to use this kind of old-fashioned command to fight!

Think about it, this is still a local battle. He can't even imagine how Paskovich and Prince Mikhail fought when they went abroad to suppress the rebellion in Austria and Hungary two years ago. Could it be that they just went all the way?

Of course it was impossible to go all the way, but at that time Paskovich and Prince Mikhail had the help of Austria. Although Austria was not much more advanced than Russia, at least the most basic work could still be done well.

Dmitry made up his mind. After returning to St. Petersburg, he must urge the General Staff to survey and update the map as soon as possible. ..

But that is something in the future, and the current difficulties can only be overcome by himself. His method was very simple. On the one hand, he dispatched numerous reconnaissance troops to find out the local conditions;

You ask why the artillery officer did this? The reason is simple, because they are the only ones who are suitable for this job. The quality of other infantry and cavalry officers is too low, and most of them don't know a few words. How can they do fine surveying and mapping?

Yes, the military literacy or the most basic military literacy in this era is the most reliable artillery officer. Those who can do artillery are basically not illiterate, and have reliable mathematical ability. Don't think that shooting artillery is easy, and the requirements for mathematics are not generally high.

Look at the Napoleon who was Megatron in Europe back then. He was born as an artilleryman. People who don't know how to use artillery and don't understand mathematics will never become famous generals!

Although the overall quality of the Russian artillery was a little worse than that of its European counterparts, it was the serf soldiers. The Russian artillery officers were fairly qualified, and at least there was no problem doing basic surveying and mapping.

Of course, not everyone is satisfied with Dmitry's arrangement. A considerable number of officers think that he is a bit too fussy. These people don't think that counterinsurgency requires such a complicated and delicate operation.

From their point of view, their opponents are just a group of muddy legs whose feet have not been washed clean, so there is nothing to be afraid of! Just go straight to A!

And that was another headache for Dmitry, whose troops were extremely polarized. Most grassroots soldiers and low-level officers are war-weary, and they really don't want to go to the battlefield after they just recovered their lives from the Crimean War.

What's more, their target this time is still the class they were born in, which makes them feel very guilty. After all, they feel the same about the Ukrainian serf uprising.

But the middle and high-ranking military officers are another picture. These people are all eager to fight, and they are eager to smash the rebellion in one go and earn a lot of military merits so that they can go back to St. Petersburg to show off and brag. Moreover, they who came from aristocratic backgrounds hated those dishonest mud legs, and wished they could kill them all.

Moreover, they looked down on these uprising serfs extremely, and didn't take them seriously at all, thinking that as long as their own swords and guns passed by, they would be defeated in minutes.

As a result, middle and high-level officers are eager to fight, while low-level officers and soldiers are afraid to fight. The polarized morale completely tore Dmitry's troops apart. He knows that if he goes to the battlefield like this, he will be sure of it. It was a fiasco.

"But Colonel Alexander Vasilyevich and the others are impatient and have been talking bad about you, saying that you fear the enemy like a tiger and are as timid as a mouse..."

Demeter replied without raising his head: "Let them talk, UU Reading www.uukanshu.com But no soldier or soldier is allowed to move without my order!"

The adjutant was a bit hesitant to speak. In fact, he was a little bit critical of Dmitri's caution, but after all, he had been with Dmitri for so long, knew Dmitri's style, and knew that the officer was not timid. Man, maybe there's a reason for his caution?

It's just that the adjutant couldn't figure out the reason. Even if there were really a lot of rebels, they were just a bunch of mobs after all!

It is not that there are no precedents of serf uprisings in history, such as the high-handed rule of Nicholas I, there were also serf uprisings, but what waves did they make?

Which time didn't they scatter like birds and beasts as soon as the army arrived, and soon disappeared!

In the eyes of the adjutant, this time is no exception. Although their momentum this time is indeed a bit scary, he doesn't believe that these mud legs can really shake Russia's traditions!

"Well, what did the count say?" Alexander Vasilyevich asked impatiently.

The adjutant shook his head and said: "The commander-in-chief said that no one is allowed to act without authorization, otherwise the military law will be followed!"

Alexander Vasilyevich slapped the table angrily, and said angrily: "Shit! We have been nesting in this ghost place for half a month, let alone eating chaff, no balls, no opera singers You can’t even see a pig, it’s a human life!”

The adjutant curled his lips. He knew very well that the root of the senior officer's anger was not Dmitri's slow movement, but Dmitri's keeping them in the countryside surrounded by mud.

For most aristocratic officers, a life without **** and ladies is simply unimaginable. They are used to singing and dancing, even on the battlefield, they need these things to cheer them up, otherwise they can't stand it for a day!
