Struggle in Russia

"Rebels?"

Nakhimov raised his binoculars and looked at the two groups of people fighting. He had never seen rebels wearing Russian military uniforms and using new rifles.

You must know that the popularity of new rifles in the Russian army is very low, especially those equipped with rotating rear-pull bolts and magazines, which are even rarer. Basically, except for the elite of the elite, that is, the troops related to Li Xiao and Alexei can afford it.

Will such an army be defeated by the revolting serfs? Can the equipment be seized by them?

Nakhimov didn't believe it, and to be honest, he had a very bad impression of Ulanov, the governor. Although he had never met the governor, he still knew something about what happened in Ukraine, especially what he saw and heard while taking the fleet north to Kiev, which made him have a bad impression of the governor!

In his view, Ulanov was the culprit who caused chaos in Ukraine. Naturally, he did not believe the words of the culprit.

He snorted coldly and said decisively: "Tell him, I am the deputy commander-in-chief of the Black Sea Fleet. I am now assigned by Lieutenant General Dmitry Milyutin, the commander of the Ukrainian Bandit and Counter-Insurgency Command, to take over all military defense in Kiev. Work, any troops who refuse to accept my command and dispatch are identified as rebels and can be punished on the spot! Cease fire and disarm immediately, otherwise I will not be polite! "

When Ulanov received the news, he was dumbfounded. He had no idea that Dmitry Milyutin was appointed as the Ukrainian bandit and counter-insurgency commander. This was not only because the traffic was blocked, but more importantly, he felt that the news from Ukraine did not reach St. Petersburg so quickly, and he had already spilled some blood before and asked some old friends to help cover it up and buy time.

According to his opinion, the real situation in Ukraine will not be known to St. Petersburg for at least a few months. During this period, he just spent money on activities to try to spend money to eliminate the disaster.

But the bandit suppression and counterinsurgency headquarters was actually established, and Dmitry Milyutin was appointed as its commander. What does this mean?

This shows that St. Petersburg already knows that the situation in Ukraine is quite bad, and they no longer trust him, the governor, and specifically appointed Dmitry to clean up the situation. In other words, the order to remove him from office and investigate or simply arrest him may be on the way, leaving him little time to move around!

Ulanov's heart skipped a beat, knowing that he might be in trouble this time. But it's impossible for him to catch you without any help. He immediately replied: "Tell General Nakhimov, I don't know about the Ukrainian Bandit Counterinsurgency Command. I am the Governor of Ukraine under orders from His Majesty. All Ukrainian troops and military operations are controlled by I am commanding, and as the supreme commander of Ukraine, I cannot obey orders from unknown sources. Now I am destroying the rebels. Either you assist me in countering the rebellion, or you wait aside and do not hinder my counterinsurgency!"

You can tell what this guy is planning at a glance. He feels that even if Nakhimov really has orders from St. Petersburg, he can pretend not to know. As long as Anton is eliminated first and Anton is labeled as a traitor, What can Hat Nakhimov do to him?

This means that the general will not accept your orders. I just won’t listen to you. Let’s see what you can do to me!

It can only be said that Ulanov did not understand Nakhimov very well. Who was the latter? After experiencing the baptism of the Crimean War, Nakhimov has greatly improved in all aspects, and he is decisive and neat in commanding operations. What's more, his impression of Ulanov is not generally bad. He heard that this bastard disobeyed orders and gave orders immediately:

"Order the fleet to open fire and sink those who are disobedient and disrespectful, and give them a final warning to put down their weapons immediately!"

As Nakhimov's fleet opened fire, even if these inland river steamships were small in tonnage and equipped with small caliber and small numbers of artillery guns, they were still enough for Ulanov to drink a pot.

In just a few minutes, two of the wooden boats he finally collected were sunk, and the remaining two started to catch fire. The situation was as bad as it could be.

Not only was the ship hit by Nakhimov, his artillery fire was also bombarding Ulanov's troops on the dock. He suffered heavy losses from enemies from both sides!

"This bastard, how dare he!"

Ulanov, who was hiding under the table and shivering, turned pale with anger. He really didn't expect that Nakhimov would dare to open fire at the slightest disagreement. Did this bastard not give him any face as the governor?

"Sir, what should we do now? The enemy's artillery fire is too fierce, and the brothers can't withstand it anymore! Otherwise, we should retreat!"

Ulanov looked at Nikolay Ivanovich, who was squealing and making a mess. He couldn't help but get angry. He felt that this bastard was simply a pig. If he hadn't been hesitant before and refused to invest troops, Anton would have been eliminated by him long ago.

Isn't it just Nakhimov? As long as he can resist and eliminate Anton first, then everything is easy to say. Even if this lawsuit goes to the Winter Palace, he will still have a way.

But this bastard actually told him that he wanted to retreat, Nima, where to retreat? Not to mention that all his wealth is on the ship, and there is absolutely no possibility of discarding it. Just tell me, where can Kiev, which is surrounded by rebels like an iron barrel, retreat to?

"We can't withdraw. Let your people hold on. As long as we eliminate those scoundrels on the dock, I don't have the final say in everything. Hold on! We must hold on!"

It's just that Nikolai Ivanovich is not as confident as Ulanov. Persistence? What do you hold on to? The fleet has enough guns and cannons to sweep them away, how can it withstand it?

Besides, Anton is not a vegetarian. Can they be wiped out in a short time?

Rather than resisting in vain, it is better to do as Nakhimov said and cease fire first!

It’s just that Ulanov was resolute and wouldn’t listen to anything he said. Not only did he not listen, he also gave Nikolay Ivanovich a death order, telling him to resist!

"Beat me hard. There are few of them. Tell the soldiers that they will be rewarded with a hundred rubles for every rebel they kill. No! A thousand rubles!"

Ulanov was brave enough. A tough guy like him has never been so generous.

Anton was under great pressure for a while, but Anton's men and horses were better equipped and better trained. Moreover, as soon as Anton saw Nakhimov's fleet coming, he immediately ordered his troops to shrink their defenses, which left Ulanov less able to take advantage of. Cheap.

In this way, the winner will depend on who can hold on. If Anton cannot withstand it, he will be defeated. On the other hand, if Nikolay Ivanovich defeats Ulanov, he will be finished immediately.

For a while, the situation on the battlefield fell into a stalemate again, but everyone knew that this stalemate would not last long...
