Struggle in Russia

Vol 2 Chapter 371: Not going well

Kogelniceanu and Kuza hit it off, the more they chatted, the more speculative they got, and the more they got excited. Especially Kuza, who has been in Wallachia for so many days, it is really not easy to finally find someone who has the same knowledge and opinions with him.

Kuza sighed, why are these **** in Bucharest so unconscious? All of them just thought about kneeling and licking, and there was no energy at all. It seems that we must have enough moldavian talents to make a revolution!

Here, Kogelnicanu and Kuza have negotiated properly, ready to go to the streets to mobilize the masses and the other to prepare for battle, determined to turn Bucharest into a steel fortress, and give the invincible Russian army a head-on blow, in one fell swoop for Wallachia Name correction!

On the other hand, in Sevastopol, after Mikhail Gorchakov had a closed-door conversation with Lazarev, the Russian army's battle preparations also entered the final step.

Of course, it is the last step for the sailors of the Black Sea Fleet, but it is probably the first step for the naval infantry.

"The food shortage is serious. Calculated based on the food stored in the warehouse, it can only support a month's consumption at most!"

Kornilov’s report gave Duke Mikhail Gorchakov a headache, because even the most optimistic estimate, even if everything goes well, the Wallachian and Moldavians looked forward to the wind and walked to Bucharest. I am afraid it will take a month.

Let’s not say that just buying a one-way ticket is definitely not enough, just say that everything goes well and it can’t be realized. How could Wallachia and Moldavia’s “rebels” have not resisted at all, anyway, Li Xiao’s request made it clear in the newspaper that the resistance of this group is still very strong.

Mikhail Gorchakov said with a sullen face: "One month's food storage is definitely not enough, at least two months of food storage..."

Kornilov also knew that the stock of grain was indeed too small, but the problem was that by the Mikheevich brothers, most of the grain was sold, and he seized the assets of the two brothers. After purchasing urgently, otherwise the book will be more ugly.

And even if there is money to purchase food now, it is quite difficult. Kornilov replied bitterly: "Duke, we have been trying our best to purchase food recently, but the effect is not good..."

Mikhail Gorchakov did not ask why the effect was not good, let alone why the money could not buy food. Because these two questions are so stupid, in this situation, it is most normal that money cannot buy food.

Yes, regardless of the fact that Ukraine is Russia's big granary, the local area is rich in grain, but the abundance of grain does not mean that you can buy it. Most of the grain is controlled by the big landlords and grain merchants, and those who are well informed will naturally not know that Russia is about to use troops against Wallachia and Moldavia.

And this also means that food has become very important, and it is natural to hoard and make a fortune. Therefore, the price of food is going up like a rocket. These black-hearted businessmen are preparing to slaughter them!

Of course, this is only one of the reasons, and the more important reason comes from Paskovic. As the commander-in-chief of the march to Austria, his troops are also assembled in Ukraine, and he has more troops on hand, so naturally he needs more food. In other words, Mikhail Gorchakov will also face Paskovic's bid.

When you think about it, food is already expensive, but there is something to be upset. Wouldn't it make the black merchants more confident?

What's more, Paskovic is holding bad water. He knew very well that Mikhail Gorchakov was here to take credit for him. In order to monopolize the Austrian cake, he naturally had to create trouble for Mikhail Gorchakov. Making a fuss on the food issue, the cost is small and the effect is big, why not do it!

So Mikhail Gorchakov had a headache, and he naturally hated the Mikheevich brothers to death. If it wasn't for these two **** to fool around and basically emptied the granary, would he still be so passive? After all, if there is grain in the granary, he is more confident to bargain with those black-hearted businessmen.

And now, it really hurts to my hometown!

After a long time, Mikhail Gorchakov sighed and asked, "Can I buy food from other places?"

It’s a good question. Russia is a big country and rich in resources. Except for the granary of Ukraine, there is no other place where you can farm. For example, Belarus and Poland have calculated the place of food.

But the problem is that Belarus is too close to Paskovic, and it is very unlikely that the food bought from Paskovic will be transported safely from Paskovic’s site. It might be halfway by Paskovic. It was robbed, after all, the Russian army has this tradition.

Poland also has the same problem, and the more crucial point in Poland is that the situation is also unstable. With the turmoil in Europe, the wiping cloths have begun to restless. Although there has not been a major rebellion, the sporadic uprisings and rebellions have never ceased. It is too risky to go there to get food!

Except for these two areas, other parts of Russia have too high latitudes, insufficient winter and sunshine, and agricultural technology is also messed up, food production is very low, and self-sufficiency is thankful, and it is really impossible to squeeze out much oil and water.

Anyway, Kornilov couldn't think of where to get food ~www.ltnovel.com~ so he could only be silent. For a long time, Duke Mikhail Gorchakov sighed. Since the food problem is temporarily unsolvable, it is useless to think about it. If it doesn’t work, he can only go to Wallachia or Moldavia to grab it. , Anyway, I haven't done it before-the battlefield, the big guys know it.

"Except for food? Are other preparations going well?"

Mikhail Gorchakov can only hope that other misfortunes will be less, otherwise he is really out of luck. But the answer is definitely not optimistic, because Kornilov told him:

"The troops in the Izmail region and the Sevastopol region are seriously under-trained, and some troops still have shortages...guns and ammunition are also lacking, especially the 12-pound artillery shells..."

Listening to this series of lacks, Duke Mikhail Gorchakov felt that his head was big, the training was problematic, and the ammunition was still lacking. How can this battle be fought? Is it really going to Moldavia and Wallachia to get armed? Parade?

He can only order: "The Black Sea Fleet will find a way for the ammunition. The Navy still has a certain reserve. First of all, it will be seconded from them. This time, we will not need to fight naval battles in joint operations with Turkey... As for the training issue, you should step up. Because time is running out!"
