Struggle in Russia

Vol 2 Chapter 414: New question (in)

Lazarev also wanted to give the young men the opportunity to receive awards for meritorious service, but in order to receive awards for meritorious service, it is not what a soldier should do. Soldiers have a mission to defend their homes and the country. The first thing is to obey. Order, how can you ignore the national interest because of your own personal interests?

For Lazarev, it was too simple to fight the Turks. The strength of the Black Sea Fleet was enough to lift the Turkish navy to fight. As long as he was willing to wipe out the Turkish navy in minutes.

But it is easy to beat the Turks, and the bad effects after the fight cannot be eliminated. The reason why Turkey can exist is not how tenacious this country is, but the powers need Turkey to exist.

With Turkey, the regional situation can still maintain a balance, and no one can take much advantage. But once Turkey is gone, it is said that the situation in the entire Balkans and the Middle East will be completely rewritten. It is very likely to trigger a direct confrontation between the great powers and trigger a war sweeping Europe.

At that time, it was hard to say who would be the winner. At least based on Lazarev's estimation of the strength of various countries, Russia really had no advantage. And now the Holy Alliance only exists on paper. Once Russia takes action against Turkey, Britain and France will definitely intervene directly, and that would be a disaster!

Therefore, even if Lazarev understands the minds of the boys, he can only refuse. This time the war is limited to Moldavia and Wallachia, and is limited to restoring the order of the two countries. No more things can be done. !

Nasimov replied sincerely: "General, we don't mean to expand the scale of the war, but to give the fleet more tasks."

Lazarev sighed and asked, "Then how do you want to expand the scope of the mission? Do you want you to disembark and follow the duke to siege the city, or go to sea aimlessly to search for non-existent enemies?"

Nasimov stopped talking, hesitated for a moment before saying: "We can take down the cannon on the ship to form artillery to assist the duke in tackling the fortress..."

This suggestion is very realistic and can be done, but it still hurts Lazarev. The artillery on the shipbreaking can support land warfare, but the necessity is not strong, because the artillery under Duke Mikhail is strong enough to sling the Wallachia turtles.

What's more, the dismantled naval gun is not meant to be carried away. After all, the gun carriage on the naval gun is not suitable for land use this year. Used as a fortress cannon may make a living, but following the long-distance march of Duke Mikhail's troops, it is bound to need more suitable vehicles. And where does he get these?

Now that the war is imminent, there is still something to do, all kinds of materials need to be prepared, there is no extra time to toss these naval guns. Even if it is possible, as mentioned earlier, Duke Mikhail’s artillery is already strong enough and does not need so much firepower.

But Nasimov still did not give up, and said: "It may not be necessary to fight the Wallachia rebels, but it is not necessarily to go to Austria to fight the rebellion. It is said that the rebels over there are quite rampant, and the Austrians can't hold their heads up. Come! I think going to Austria to quell the rebellion will definitely require stronger firepower!"

Lazarev was taken aback for a moment and then sighed in his heart. What is wealth moving, isn't this the most typical example! Paskovic and Mikhail Gorchakov jumped up and down for this piece of Austrian fat, and even the good students with him were greedy. They also stared at this cake. This is human nature!

However, Lazarev did not mean to blame Nasimov and others. As long as normal people have selfish desires, selfish desires are not terrible. What is terrible is excessive selfish desires.

Now the selfish desires of Nasimov and others can only be said to be at a normal level, and they are still far away from the flooding. Naturally, his teacher would have no opinion. But this matter does need to be properly resolved, because Lazarev knows that there are far more people staring at the Austrian cake than Nasimov and a few people. If one can’t handle it, the fleet will flood up and down, so it’s not fun at that time. Up.

So Lazarev said to Nasimov: "Well, I already know your opinion, and I will consider it carefully. Go back and wait for the news!"

If it is someone else, it will certainly not be dismissed so easily, but Nasimov and Lazarev are not an ordinary relationship. For Nasimov, since the teacher has already spoken, it will certainly not fail to give an explanation, so it is very Those who obey will leave and really wait for news.

Lazarev knew that Austria's interests were involved, and he certainly couldn't do what he said. He had to discuss it with the commander-in-chief, Duke Mikhail, otherwise he would not understand the rules.

Duke Mikhail would naturally not understand the taste, anyway, no one would dislike more artillery, not to mention that the artillery formed by the Black Sea Fleet is much higher than the average artillery. Of course, he also has requirements:

"It is a good thing to have more artillery, but it's better to add more heavy artillery. Heavy artillery is needed to tackle tough problems!"

Lazarev's mouth twitched twice. Everyone knows that heavy artillery is a powerful weapon, but heavy artillery is not easy to transport!

In the terrible traffic conditions in Wallachia, the 18-pounder artillery was brought all the way from the country. Is this the young man who will exhaust him?

Of course, I’m sorry, but since Duke Mikhail has given the conditions, let’s try my best to satisfy it~www.ltnovel.com~Lazarev also knows why Duke Mikhail is against heavy guns. I never forget it, because when the Russian army fought with Turkey in Wallachia, they were fed up with the turtle tactics of the Turks hiding in the bastion.

Because of the lack of heavy firepower, the Turks are often surrounded by water, but they just can't eat them down. The taste is quite sour and refreshing. For this reason, many Russian generals even paid a heavy price. For example, the most typical of them was Ouchi Chief Minshkov. When he was besieging the Turkish castle, he was shot off by enemy shells. How desperate do you think this is? .

Lazarev also knows that this time the Wallachian battle, I am afraid that there will be few real field battles, because the strength gap between the two sides is too obvious, and it is impossible for the Wallachiians to come out and follow The Russian army fought a decisive battle, but it was more practical to fight stubbornly based on solid fortifications in cities and fortresses.

Therefore, Duke Mikhail is more focused on fighting on this road. At this time, he really cannot play without heavy firepower. It is normal for him to want to bring more heavy artillery.

"No problem, this battle really requires heavy firepower, and it is particularly important to form more heavy artillery... However, Duke, I think this operation not only requires heavy artillery, but the main force of the fleet also needs to undertake a more important mission..."
