Make France Great Again

"Your Majesty the Governor, let me go! The soldiers of the empire cannot die in vain! The Ottoman Empire should pay the price for what he has done!"

Nakhimov, who was on the deck of the command fleet, gritted his teeth and looked at the sawdust on the sea and said to Menshikov.

"Yes! Your Majesty the Governor! Let's go! I bet they don't have any protection now!"

Lieutenant General Kornilov, the chief of staff of the Black Sea Fleet standing on Menshikov's right, also made his own suggestions to Menshikov. He said to Menshikov sincerely.

According to Lieutenant General Kornilov's understanding of the Ottoman Army, after achieving such a "great victory", the Ottoman Navy will inevitably sing and dance. This is often the time when they are most relaxed.

Facing the appeals of his two generals, Governor Menshikov did not speak, but quietly stared at the sea where the double-decker battleship sank.

On the sparkling sea, Menshikov seemed to see the struggling figure of the loyal Russian Imperial Navy.

That's right, those damn infidels would never let go of such an opportunity for revenge!

Thinking of this, Menshikov couldn't help clenching his fists. Now he wished he could directly lead the navy to raid the Sinop port.

With enough explosive shells in his hands, Menshikov was fully capable of annihilating the navy staying in the port of Sinop.

However, reason told him that the current port of Sinop must have strengthened its security.

Once the coastal forts are aimed at his fleet, even if they can annihilate the entire navy in Sinop Port, they will still have to leave a few ships by the Sinop Port forts.

Menshikov believed that as the governor, he could not just seek justice for the dead and let the living die.

Yu Gong, Menshikov must ensure that the Black Sea Fleet will not suffer too much damage. What His Majesty Nicholas I needs is a grand victory, not a tragic victory.

Privately, Menshikov believed that he had an obligation to lead these children to survive. They all carried the ardent hopes of their parents.

Of course, if Menshikov was commanding an army force, then Menshikov would not hesitate to attack those damn Ottoman barbarians.

"Go back!" Under the hopeful gazes of Lieutenant General Kornilov and Lieutenant General Nakhimov, Menshikov made the decision to withdraw to Sevastopol Fortress in a hoarse voice.

"Why? We can obviously take the opportunity to annihilate them! The Ottoman Empire will not guard against us at all!" Lieutenant General Kornilov couldn't help but question Menshikov.

"Because I am the governor!" Menshikov ordered Kornilov in an unquestionable tone: "I said, go back!"

"I..." Lieutenant General Nakhimov gritted his teeth and said to Menshikov: "Your Excellency, Governor, please forgive me for not understanding!"

"I don't need your understanding!" Menshikov's attitude was still tough and he said to Nakhimov with a straight face: "You just need to obey the order!"

Then, Menshikov paused and then said: "If you are unwilling to obey my orders as the governor, please take off your military uniforms and get out of the army immediately!"

There was no compromise in Menshikov's words. In his opinion, a soldier who does not know what obedience is is not a good soldier at all.

Such people stay in command of the army and affect the discipline of the entire army.

From a certain perspective, the discipline of the Russian Imperial Navy is stricter than that of the army.

Because the navy is still in a completely aristocratic tradition, many naval officers are served by children of aristocrats or middle-class families (middle class in the Russian Empire). Their knowledge level far exceeds that of those Slavic beasts, and the constraints they are subject to are also higher than those of the Slavic beasts. Slavic cattle were much more numerous.

And their Tsar Nicholas I always believed in a simple truth: the more people know, the easier it is to become a Decembrist.

Therefore, the requirements for the navy must be more stringent.

Of course, this harshness is only for the Russian Army. The Russian Imperial Navy officers themselves are more casual than the British and French naval officers.

Otherwise, Nakhimov would not have cheated and stayed in the Sevastopol Fortress.

After Menshikov's mandatory order, Kornilov and Nakhimov raised no objection, and a fleet returned to the Sevastopol Fortress in a mighty manner.

The fact is just as Menshikov thought. When Osman Pasha followed the major general of the garrison to the garrison headquarters to hold a welcome banquet, he, who was cautious by nature, specifically asked his men to go to the fort and help the garrison of the fort control the cannon. .

As long as Menshikov's fleet enters the Sinop port for a sneak attack, he will face a ruthless attack from the Sinop port fort.

It can be said that Menshikov's forced withdrawal allowed the Russian Empire to avoid the risk of heavy losses.

As the saying goes, there are advantages and disadvantages. Although Menshikov unconsciously avoided heavy losses, he also needed to deal with the aura of mourning soldiers on the fleet.

Menshikov, who returned to the Sevastopol Fortress, also noticed that the fleet's momentum seemed to be in a sluggish state, and he hurriedly called for Andrei Bolkonsky.

Gu Zhou/span At this time, Andrei Bolkonski was in a very depressed state. It seemed that this failure had dealt him a huge blow.

"Andrei Bolkonsky!" Menshikov said to Andrei Bolkonsky in a serious tone.

"Here!" Andrei Bolkonsky responded quickly after hearing Menshikov's cry.

"Look, can you win a war in your current state? If I ask you to fight those Ottoman bastards now, can you do it?" Menshikov said with an unusually serious expression.

"Okay!" After hearing Menshikov's words, Andrei Bolkonsky's eyes lit up, and he responded in a loud voice.

"Really?" Menshikov looked at Andrei Bolkonsky pretending to be suspicious and said, "Why don't I believe it?"

"Your Excellency, I can promise you! As long as I can be with those bastards..." Andrei Bolkonsky immediately patted his chest and Demenshikov said. Now he has already lived up to his previous performance. Downturn, back to normal.

"Okay! Now I give you a task. As long as you can do it well! I can let your fleet launch the attack first!" Menshikov patted the table and said to Andrei Bolkonsky.

"What mission?" Andrei Bolkonsky asked Menshikov impatiently.

"Reorganize the soldiers under your command! What I need is a group of screaming soldiers, not a group of soldiers who are dejected all day long! Do you understand?" Menshikov said to Andrei Borkons in a high-pitched voice base road.

"I understand!" Andrei Bolkonsky also responded to Menshikov with a high-spirited attitude.

"Go!" Menshikov waved his hand gently, and Andrei Bolkonsky left.

After Andrei Bolkonsky left, Menshikov called the fleet officers of other fleets one by one and talked with them.

The captains also promised Menshikov that they would restore morale. However, Menshikov must agree to let them serve as the vanguard.

Menshikov immediately agreed to their request and promised that they would be put to use.

After appeasing all the captains, Menshikov called Kornilov and Nakhimov over.

"I know you two are complaining about me in your hearts and don't dare to attack Sinop Port again tonight!"

"Don't dare ×2"

"Don't dare? You are not so courageous! To tell you the truth, I am unwilling to launch an attack tonight not because I am afraid of failure, but because I want to preserve the strength of the Russian Empire. We must fight a war of annihilation! Otherwise, , How can I deserve His Majesty the Tsar’s trust in us! I deserve our dead soldiers!”

Kornilov and Nakhimov's expressions also became extremely serious after hearing "His Majesty the Tsar."

"Your Excellency, I wonder what countermeasures you have next?" Nakhimov asked Menshikov.

"Now that the main fleet of the Ottoman Empire has appeared, it is enough to prove that our previous plan was not in vain! We just need to use some means to make them think that the Sinop port is foolproof!" The corner of Menshikov's mouth showed up. He sneered at the two of them.

Menshikov then formulated strategies to Kornilov and Nakhimov.

After listening to Menshikov's battle plan, Kornilov and Nakhimov immediately understood Menshikov's meaning and expressed that they would actively cooperate with Menshikov's command.

Over the next few days, a force composed entirely of steam clippers began to launch attacks on supply ships, much to the annoyance of Osman Pasha.

However, there was nothing he could do about this troop that came and went like the wind.

As the steam clippers became more and more rampant, Osman Pasha had no choice but to lead the main fleet to escort them personally.

Menshikov, who received the news, also led his main fleet out to meet the enemy.

The main fleets of both sides fought with each other in the western part of the Black Sea. In the end, the Ottoman Empire withdrew from the Battle of Sinop with a slight disadvantage.

This battle also cost the Ottoman Empire a steam clipper and a double-deck warship.

In the Russian Empire, Andrei Bolkonsky became the key to that war. The steam clipper he led directly dragged the double-deck battleship, allowing his own sail battleship to take action calmly.

All the soldiers and officers on the steam clippers and double-decker battleships were also buried under the sea by the Russian Empire in the same way.

The only person rescued was the British instructor on the double-decker battleship.

After this battle, the Ottoman Empire's navy once again returned to its previous situation.
