Make France Great Again

Tsar Nicholas I, who was far away in Tsarskoye Selo, St. Petersburg, never imagined that the food he ordered to store in the Odessa granary would become an accomplice in the murder of Russian Imperial soldiers.

And the Odessa officials he worked so hard to promote were so courageous. During the war, they sold their country's food to the enemy at low prices. No matter how you think about it, it was a major beheading case. The entire capital of Odessa never No one from the top to the bottom officials was willing to report it.

This is enough to prove that the entire capital of Odessa... no, it should be said that the entire Russian Empire is rotten to the core.

However, Nicholas I of Tsarskoye Selo, St. Petersburg, did not know all this yet.

Nicholas I, who had just received the news that the British and French forces had landed on the Crimean Peninsula (Menshikov's information took a week to reach Tsarskoye Selo, St. Petersburg), quickly became anxious and contacted the Russian Imperial War Minister Dolgorukov, "The Third Director of the Department Orlov, and Commander of the Danube Allied Forces Gorchakov (since Gorchakov withdrew to Bessarabia, Nicholas I simply asked General Gorchakov to return to Tsarskoye Selo, St. Petersburg) , and Crown Prince Alexander.

Nicholas I, who was standing in the war conference room, first handed Prince Menshikov's letter to Dolgorukov for review. After Dolgorukov finished reading it, he handed it to the next person.

When Menshikov's letter once again returned to Nicholas I, Nicholas I said with a solemn expression: "According to the information from Menshikov, a large force of the British and French forces has arrived in Croatia." The Rimean Peninsula. My ministers, what do you think of this?"

After speaking, Nicholas I looked around and signaled with his eyes that everyone present could speak.

After everyone pondered for a moment, War Minister Dolgorukov was the first to speak: "Your Majesty, I think this move by the British and French coalition forces is just an attack in the east and in the west!"

"Oh?" Nicholas I asked with a confused expression.

"As we all know, the Crimean Peninsula is just one of the outposts of our attack on the Ottoman Empire! Even without Crimea, we can attack from the Caucasus to the Ottoman Empire itself." Dolgorukov said And Tan said: "I believe that the British and French coalition forces will not know that the Crimean Peninsula is not a strategic location that cannot be abandoned for the Ottoman Empire (Commander Raglan, Marshal Saint-Arnaud, Jérôme Bonnard) Tomoe: ???), then why do they insist on attacking there?”

"Stop being so pretentious! Speak quickly!" Nicholas I said with a frown.

"Your Majesty, I guess this is a deception by the British and French forces!" Dolgorukov seemed to be possessed by many intelligent stars. Analyze with wrong thinking.

"So what is their real purpose?" Nicholas I then asked Dolgorukov.

"Your Majesty, I think the British and French forces want to launch a landing battle near St. Petersburg! (Palmerston: Meow meow meow!) In this way, they can end this battle as quickly as possible!" Dole Gorukov replied to Nicholas I with a firm tone.

"Attack St. Petersburg?" Nicholas I's face was slightly nervous. It could be seen that Nicholas I himself was also a man who cherished his life. All his decisions were based on the premise of ensuring his own safety.

After a while, Nicholas I shook his head and retorted: "Impossible! Our St. Petersburg is full of forts, and there are two Guards stationed outside St. Petersburg. Even if the British and French troops want to attack St. Petersburg, they will have to pay a heavy price. That’s right, Palmerston and Jérôme Bonaparte will never send their pampered soldiers here!”

In the subconscious mind of Nicholas I, the British and French armies were just piled up with money. The endurance and will of their armies could never compete with the hard-working Slavic people, so they naturally would not put their armies under the influence. St. Petersburg to death.

"Your Majesty, in fact, they can attack us through the Kingdom of Sweden!" Dolgorukov reminded.

"This is even more impossible! The Kingdom of Sweden dare not disobey the Russian Empire, they..." Nicholas I's confidence was slightly lacking.

Today's Russian Empire is like a giant trapped in a quagmire. There is no guarantee that the Kingdom of Sweden will take advantage of this moment to beat up the drowned dog.

You must know that the current Grand Duchy of Finland was a piece of flesh he tore off from the Kingdom of Sweden. Although the Kingdom of Sweden also obtained Norway, the value of Norway is far less than that of the Kingdom of Sweden.

If the Kingdom of Sweden acted together with Britain and France, the situation of the Russian Empire would be even worse.

"Your Majesty, when Napoleon was still powerful, the king of the Kingdom of Sweden was still Marshal Napoleon. However, after Napoleon's defeat, the Kingdom of Sweden still decisively stood on our side!" Prince Dolgorukov reminded "tactfully" Emperor Nicholas I.

"You mean that my current situation is that of Napoleon?" Nicholas I said to Dolgorukov in a bad tone.

"Your Majesty, we are far inferior to Napoleon now!" Prince Dolgorukov said without fear: "Most of Napoleon's allies betrayed him when he faced decline, but what about our allies?" Ergorukov paused and sneered at the corner of his mouth: "Our allies have betrayed us long before the war started! What qualifications do we have to compare with Napoleon!"

Prince Dolgorukov's criticism made Nicholas I feel unprecedentedly angry.

Crown Prince Alexander, who was standing aside, saw the almost cannibalistic look in Nicholas I's eyes and quickly smoothed things over: "Your Majesty, now is not the time to get angry! The most important thing is to find out the strategic intentions of the British and French coalition forces! Only in this way can we Develop an appropriate response!”

After hearing what Crown Prince Alexander said, Nicholas I's expression gradually became much calmer. He turned to ask Crown Prince Alexander: "What does your teacher think of this war?"

The teacher of Crown Prince Alexander was Jomini, the author of "The Art of War". He originally retired in Belgium to spend his old age, but because of the beginning of the Crimean War, he was once again conquered by Nicholas I to shine in the Russian Empire.

"My teacher said that he couldn't understand what this Napoleon wanted to do!" Crown Prince Alexander said to Nicholas I: "If he is the first Napoleon, then the soldiers in the Near East probably attract us Attention pawn.

Although this Napoleon's style of action has the shadow of the first Napoleon, he is not as good at turning war into an art as the first Napoleon. He is better at advancing steadily. "

"So, your teacher thinks that the target of the British and French coalition forces is only the Crimean Peninsula?" Nicholas I asked Alexander.

"You can't say that! The British have some experience in opening up a second battlefield. And Palmerston is an ambitious guy, so this possibility cannot be ruled out!" Crown Prince Alexander told Nicholas I responded: "What's more, it is entirely possible for Britain and France to fight on the Crimean Peninsula and the Baltic Sea at the same time!"

"Then which place should the empire focus on defending now!" Nicholas I said in a dull tone: "We can't move the troops we have on hand back and forth!"

Although the Russian Empire apparently has close to 2 million troops, the forces the empire can mobilize are only in the four regions of Poland, Finland, the Caucasus, the Danube, and St. Petersburg.

Finland needs to be prepared for the Kingdom of Sweden, St. Petersburg needs to be prepared for possible raids, the Danube and Poland have to confront the Austrian Empire, and the Caucasus also needs to suppress the Ottoman Empire.

After careful calculation, the Russian Empire has no field legions that can be mobilized.

If you want to mobilize the army, you must take certain risks.

"Your Majesty, I think our army should send troops to the Crimean Peninsula! Even if it is really a trap designed for us, we must jump into it without hesitation!" Gorchakov said resolutely.

"Tell me your reasons!" Nicholas I asked Gorchakov?

"Your Majesty, we have chosen to give in in the Danube Principality, and there is no room for the empire to retreat! If we do not assume a decisive battle with the British and French forces, then more and more countries will think that the Russian Empire has Weakening. At that time, they will open their fangs and take a bite at us. I am afraid it will be difficult for the Russian Empire to tide over the difficulties..." Gorchakov warned Nicholas I tactfully.

Gorchakov's words reminded Nicholas I of the Kingdom of Prussia, which, like the Kingdom of Sweden, was a country whose land was occupied by the Russian Empire. They were very likely to launch an attack on the Russian Empire.

Thinking of this, Nicholas I felt a sense of desolation in his heart.

"Tell me, where should we mobilize our troops?" Nicholas I asked Gorchakov.

"I suggest that it is best to send troops from Poland and the Danube region to Crimea. Some soldiers can also be sent to the Caucasus!" General Gorchakov replied to Nicholas I.

"Poland?" Nicholas I shook his head and said: "No! Once the Polish Legion is transferred, there will definitely be a turmoil there! I know those Poles too well, they can always provide help at the most critical moment. Let's go up! Let's dispatch some troops from the Danube Army and the Caucasus Army to support us! What do you think?"

Nicholas I turned his attention to Dolgorukov and Crown Prince Alexander.

"Your Majesty, I just thought poorly!" Dolgorukov immediately changed his mind and supported General Gorchakov: "I support General Gorchakov's decision. In my opinion, the Russian Empire must win victory in the Crimean Peninsula at all costs! Of course, the Guards troops in St. Petersburg must also be on alert at all times to prevent possible sneak attacks from Britain and France!"

"I also agree with Minister Dolgorukov's opinion! Whether it is St. Petersburg or the Crimean Peninsula, we cannot give up on any of them!" Crown Prince Alexander II also supported Gorchakov.

Under the order of Nicholas I, half of the Danube Army, or 80,000 people, was sent to support Crimea.

The Caucasus region also dispatched 100,000 troops to support.

At the same time, Nicholas I also ordered Orlov to issue warnings to the Kingdom of Sweden and the Kingdom of Prussia, telling them not to have any inappropriate thoughts.
