Struggle in Russia

Dmitry immediately understood why Count Rostovtsev said that Bulgaria was not a sweet pastry, but a deadly trap.

Just imagine, the Russian army made huge sacrifices in the early stage to work hard to pull out points. It is really hard to say how much meritorious service they can get. Even if you have that, you have to fight with your life, which is obviously not worthwhile.

Then once Britain and France really declare war on Russia, these feats of hard work and huge sacrifice will immediately be handed over, which is tantamount to a waste of time.

Do you think this is not a pit?

Anyway, as long as Dmitry thinks about it for a while, he knows that Bulgaria is really not interesting, and it is not worth the effort to fight for it!

But there was one thing he couldn't figure out. Even if Bulgaria had no merit to gain, what's the point of staying in Wallachia? What's the point of being the head of logistics, or eagerly being the commander of the rear guard?

Count Rostovtsev gave him a meaningful look, and did not directly answer his doubts, but drank tea slowly for a while before saying:

"It can be foreseen that once Britain and France formally declare war on our country and require our country to withdraw from Bulgaria immediately, with His Majesty's character, even if ten thousand people are not convinced, they can only reluctantly withdraw."

"But if you think about it, the contradictions between our country and Britain and France have deepened over the years, and there are great differences on various issues. Before that, there was a holy alliance, and there were internal problems between Britain and France that could not form a unified opinion."

"And now, because the war against Bulgaria has made them form a unified position, do you think that even if we obediently quit, they will just accept it?"

"Declaring war is not a joke. It's not just our Russian officers who want to make achievements. The British and French, especially the latter, may have stronger attempts and ambitions in this regard!"

Dmitry was silent, because he knew that Count Rostovtsev was quite right. After killing Napoleon, the French have been lying in the trough for more than 30 years. I am afraid they have long wanted to restore their former glory and regain their right to speak in Europe.

Looking at the focus of conflicts between Russia and France over the years, they are almost all disputes of the nature of honor and face. Why are the French so fussy? It’s not like Napoleon’s tone back then. It's all about them! Si minus bxWx.C*O* Si

What could be more refreshing than defeating Russia, the biggest culprit who defeated Napoleon and destroyed France's dream of dominating Europe?

Dmitri can imagine that as long as the French decide to declare war, even if Nicholas I finally chooses to back down, the French will not accept it as soon as it is good.

And as long as the French have such determination, although the British are chicken thieves, they also know that this is the best opportunity to teach Russia a lesson. After all, Britain never wants a hegemon to appear on the European continent.

Napoleon was too powerful to kill Napoleon, and now Russia is obviously tending to become a hegemon, at least the revolution of 1848 has sounded the alarm to Britain, Russia, the European military police, is already too strong and powerful, and must be weakened!

Now with the cooperation of the French and Turkey as cannon fodder, there is already an extremely aboveboard excuse. If those treacherous politicians in the UK don't take advantage of this opportunity to do things, they really aren't British.

It is conceivable that even if Nicholas I backed down, the British, French, and the encouraged Turks would not choose to accept it as soon as it was good. They would definitely take this opportunity to severely attack Russia and make Russia lose face. How to do it?

After keeping Bulgaria, Wallachia is in front of us. When Russia took advantage of the 1848 revolution to grab Wallachia and Moldavia, it did not make Britain and France convinced and comfortable.

Now that Bulgaria can be kept, then take the opportunity to create another wave of Wallachia, not only to annihilate the main force of the Russian army in Bulgaria, but also to take away this area, and drive Russia's sphere of influence in the Balkans back to the Danube north shore,

This is definitely an attractive option.

Now Dmitry also knew why Count Rostovtsev wanted him to go to Wallachia first. When the previous generals hit a wall in Bulgaria, he can hurry up and repair Bulgaria's fortifications. If Wallachia can be turned into a strong fortress, the invading armies of the three countries will be smashed and bloody, and they will be able to take back Wallachia. Rakia's dream, this must be a great achievement!

"Very well, obviously you now know what I mean, but what I want to tell you is that your task may be easier than you think. Since this year Count Speranski and Grand Duke Andrew have been We are sparing no effort to renovate the fortifications and train the troops, and we are ready to strictly guard against death!"

Dmitry was taken aback immediately, because how could this sound like a fantasy? If someone told him that almost ten months ago someone had foreseen the direction of the future and actively prepared for it. Then he will definitely laugh at the other party contemptuously, saying that the other party is a magic stick or simply a lie.

But it happened that this was said by Count Rostovtsev, who never jokes or nonsense, so it is very likely that this matter is true.

Then Dmitri immediately thought about the hasty construction of the railway in Wallachia. It is said that the Earls of Speranski were not in a general hurry, and they did not hesitate to spend a lot of money to repair the railway at almost any cost. This is obviously true. purpose.

Why did Wallachia repair the railway? In addition to improving the fragile logistics line of the Russian army and facilitating the deployment of reinforcements from Ukraine, what else can it do?

Obviously, this is also preparation for the war. The other party has indeed foreseen that this war will break out, so they have made preparations in advance. Mi He Mi

Count Rostovtsev was not at all surprised by Dmitry's astonishment, because he was also taken aback when he observed the movements of Alexei and Li Xiao afterwards. Obviously, the two had foreseen the general trend In order to protect your own interests, you have to make preparations in advance.

It should be said that this set of preparations was so powerful that even Count Rostovtsev couldn't help but want to praise him, let alone Dmitry who just realized what the two of them had done.

"So there is another advantage of letting you go to Wallachia, that is, you can get strong support from Governor Speranski. As long as you are consistent with them, the help you will get is absolutely unimaginable. It can be said that they will concentrate the entire What do you think of the power of Wallachia helping you win this defensive battle?"
