Make France Great Again

Chapter 534: Allied Forces Divide

Lieutenant General Kornilov, who explained part of his plan to the priest and bishop, walked to the table, put his hands on the table, supported his body with his arms, lowered his head in a contemplative posture, and waited for their answers. .

"Your Excellency Lieutenant General, please allow us to go out and discuss it! This issue cannot be decided by one person!" Bishop Sevastopol pleaded to Kornilov.

"Of course!" Kornilov said to the Bishop of Sevastopol: "But as soon as possible!"

"It only takes a moment!" Bishop Sevastopol nodded, and then called all the priests in the headquarters out.

In the originally bustling headquarters, in a blink of an eye only Nassimov and Kornilov were left.

"Would you like me to send someone..." Nassimov lowered his voice and asked Lieutenant General Kornilov.

The implication is self-evident.

"No!" Kornilov shook his head and retorted: "I believe that Your Excellency, the Bishop, is a person who has a clear vision of the overall situation! The capture of Sevastopol will not do him any good."

After a while, the bishop and priest of Sevastopol returned to the headquarters again. Standing in front of Lieutenant General Kornilov, Sevastopol solemnly said: "On behalf of all the priests of Sevastopol, I I agree to this condition you proposed, and I am willing to help you maintain order in Sevastopol!"

After receiving the reply from the Bishop of Sevastopol, Lieutenant General Kornilov raised his head, straightened his forward body, took his hands supporting his body away from the table, and then slowly came to the Bishop of Sevastopol. I held his hand in front of him and said sincerely: "Thank you very much for your support of our work!"

"I just don't want Sevastopol... this beautiful bay to be ruined by the barbaric coalition forces!" the Bishop of Sevastopol replied calmly.

"I assure you that we will fight until the last moment!" Lieutenant General Kornilov responded to the Bishop of Sevastopol.

"I hope you can keep your word!" Bishop Sevastopol said to Lieutenant General Kornilov solemnly.

"Definitely!" Lieutenant General Kornilov responded firmly.

"If there is nothing else, then we are leaving!" Bishop Sevastopol turned and walked towards the gate.

"Let me see you off!" Lieutenant General Kornilov followed the Bishop of Sevastopol and personally sent the Bishop of Sevastopol out of the camp.

The priest living in Sevastopol also left the camp soon after. Lieutenant General Kornilov, who was standing at the gate of the camp, looked at the priest who was gradually disappearing in the night and murmured: " It’s done!”

Lieutenant General Kornilov, who returned to the headquarters, waved his hand to Nassimov, indicating that he could go back to rest.

"You too!" After saying these words, Nasimov left the headquarters.

Only Lieutenant General Kornilov was left in the headquarters. Kornilov, who was sitting in the chair, put his arms on the table again, holding his chin in his hands, thinking about whether his plan still existed. What a flaw.

As time passed, Lieutenant General Kornilov's eyes kept "fighting", and a sudden sleepiness swept over his body, making it difficult for him to concentrate.

Unknowingly, Lieutenant General Kornilov fell into a deep sleep. In the dream, Lieutenant General Kornilov became an invincible general. He led the residents and soldiers of Sevastopol to defeat Allied forces, earning the rank of marshal...

"Your Excellency, Lieutenant General, Your Excellency, Lieutenant General!"

As shouts came from the distant horizon, Lieutenant General Kornilov, who was wearing a medal, finally realized that he was in a dream.

no! I want to get up! I still have a lot to do!

Kornilov, who had firm faith, soon came out of his dream. When he opened his sleepy eyes, he immediately saw Lieutenant Colonel Andrei Bolkonsky standing next to him.

"It's you!" Lieutenant General Kornilov yawned and said to Andrei Bolkonsky, "What time is it now!"

Andrei Bolkonsky took out his pocket watch, glanced at it and responded to Lieutenant General Kornilov: "Six-thirty!"

"Six thirty? It's not too late!" Lieutenant General Kornilov muttered first.

"Your Excellency, Lieutenant General, what are you talking about?" Andrei Bolkonsky asked Lieutenant General Kornilov.

"Nothing!" Lieutenant General Kornilov shook his head, and then gave an order to Andrei Bolkonsky: "Can you help me call Lieutenant General Nassimov over!"

"Of course!" Andrei Bolkonsky replied immediately.

After Andrei Bolkonsky left the headquarters office, Lieutenant General Kornilov dragged his almost unconscious right leg to the gate of the headquarters and stared at the ships anchored in the bay in the distance. .

When a group of patrolling sailors passed the gate of the headquarters, Lieutenant General Kornilov stopped the patrolling sailors and ordered them to go to the bay pier to call the captains on the ship.

The patrolling sailors who received the order hurried to the bay, and Lieutenant General Kornilov returned to the headquarters after regaining feeling in his right foot.

After sitting in the headquarters and waiting for 5 minutes, Andrei Bolkonsky brought Nassimov to Lieutenant General Kornilov.

"That's right! There is one more thing that needs you to complete!" Lieutenant General Kornilov told Andrei Bolkonsky the countermeasures they discussed yesterday in front of Nassimov.

After listening to Lieutenant General Kornilov's plan, Andrei Bolkonsky was deeply shocked.

"How is it? Are you confident to complete the mission?" Lieutenant General Kornilov asked Andrei Bolkonsky.

"Yes!" Andrei Bolkonsky said firmly after coming back to his senses.

"Go! Let me see your progress!" Lieutenant General Kornilov gently pushed Andrei Bolkonsky, indicating that he could leave.

"Yes!" Andrei Bolkonsky saluted Lieutenant General Kornilov and left the headquarters.

"You actually asked him to carry out this mission. Aren't you afraid that he will mess up the mission?" Nasimov asked Lieutenant General Kornilov with some confusion.

It stands to reason that for a technical job like spreading rumors, it would be best to find people who are well-versed in the military and are the most suitable candidates.

An aristocratic young man like Andrei Bolkonsky who follows the rules is not qualified for this kind of work.

"You have to give young people a chance to practice! Besides, what if they fail?" Lieutenant General Kornilov said nonchalantly.

For Lieutenant General Kornilov, the Sevastopol Fortress was panic enough. Even if Andrei Bolkonsky failed, it would be nothing more than maintaining the status quo.

The most important thing is the baptism of the priests. The success or failure of the baptism affects the success or failure of Sevastopol.

"That's right!" Nasimov nodded.

"By the way! I also called the captains over! They will be here soon!" Lieutenant General Kornilov continued Nasimov.

After a while, the captains of sixteen ships appeared in the headquarters.

Kornilov immediately assigned the sixteen captains the tasks they needed to complete.

After all the tasks were assigned, Kornilov said loudly: "I hope you can complete the tasks as soon as possible!"

"Yes!" The sixteen captains responded in unison to Lieutenant General Kornilov.

Lieutenant General Kornilov, who was watching the captain, sat on the chair again, breathed a sigh of relief and said to himself: "I hope everything goes well!"

The captain who left the headquarters followed the instructions of Lieutenant General Kornilov and set off from the south bank of Sevastopol to the north bank to set up a pontoon bridge. When the Russian Imperial Navy in the bay was halfway through setting up a pontoon bridge, the pontoon bridge on the north bank of Sevastopol was The French army discovered this situation.

The French staff officers who had ascended to high altitude in a hot air balloon had just landed on the ground and immediately went to the staff headquarters to report the situation to Trochu.

After receiving the report from the "hot air balloon staff" (jokingly called the army), Brigadier General Trochu reported this information to Saint-Arnaud and Pellisier without the slightest hesitation.

After Marshal Saint-Arnault pondered for a long time, he asked Pelissier what he thought. Is the move of the Russian Empire on the south bank of Sevastopol to increase troops to the north or to transport soldiers from the north bank to the south bank.

"I think this move of the Russian Empire is obviously to concentrate all its forces in one place. Now the north bank of Sevastopol has been completely surrounded by our troops. If the commander on the south bank of Sevastopol is not stupid, , they will only choose the south bank that has not been surrounded by our army!" Pellissier responded to Marshal Saint-Arnaud.

"Then what should we do now?" Marshal Saint-Arnaud asked Pelissier.

"Marshal! Since the troops on the south bank have judged that we will land on the north bank, why don't we send a force to the south bank to assume the posture of landing on the south bank, thus confusing their judgment! This unit does not need too much, just one regiment is enough !" Pelissier responded to Marshal Saint-Arnaud, and then added: "However, this requires the cooperation of the British Navy!"

"Trochu, you go to the British headquarters immediately and tell Commander Raglan our request. I believe Commander Raglan will definitely agree!" Marshal St. Arnaud turned his eyes to Trochu and said.

Brigadier General Trochu, who left the French Command, took nearly 5 minutes on horseback to arrive at the British station. Under the leadership of the soldiers at the station, Brigadier General Trochu found Commander Raglan.

At this time, Commander Raglan was staying on the hills with the Duke of Cambridge and Adjutant Kimsteko, using the telescope in his hand to survey the enemy situation on the north bank. Commander Raglan was slightly surprised by the sudden arrival of Brigadier General Trochu.

"Marshal Saint-Arnaud, do you have any plans?" Commander Raglan asked Brigadier General Trochu half-jokingly. Find Shuyuan www. zhaoshuyuan.com

"Commander Raglan..." Trochu told Commander Raglan what he found on the hot air balloon.

"So you speculate that the Russian troops on the north bank want to withdraw to the south bank, is that true?" Commander Raglan said to Brigadier General Trochu.

"That's right!" Brigadier General Trochu nodded and replied to Commander Raglan: "Our marshal hopes that the French fleet can join forces with the British fleet and go to the south coast to contain the Russian Empire's army so that they dare not rush rashly. Completely withdraw the troops!"

"Tell you, Marshal, I agree with his idea!" Commander Raglan first said to Brigadier General Trochu, and then gave Adjutant Jinstko the task of going to the coast to contact the British Navy.

After receiving the order, Adjutant Kimsteko left quickly, and Trochu also did not stay and returned to the French headquarters.
