Struggle in Russia

Li Xiao sometimes feels that he is really contradictory. Obviously he just wants to keep the three-acre land in Wallachia, so if Britain and France go to Sevastopol to do things like in history, it is naturally impossible to attack The focus is on Wallachia, so naturally the pressure is less.

But who made him have a good relationship with Kornilov and Nasimov, and treat them as friends! He couldn't just watch the other party lose their lives like in history, so he came up with a good way for them to trick him a little bit.

Of course, it doesn't mean that he is completely cheating himself, because if the Black Sea Fleet is in the hands of the Black Sea Fleet, the restrictions on Britain and France are still very large. If there is no command of the sea, then the British and French fleets and armies can fight wherever they want, and the entire Black Sea coast is within their strike range.

In this way, whether it is Crimea, Wallachia or Moldavia, they are all within the attack range of Britain and France. You have to be on guard at all times for them to land and attack from weak positions on your flank.

With Russia's current international environment like a broken sieve, it can be said that it is surrounded by enemies and there is military pressure from all directions, but how can it be possible to cover everything with that little force.

If the troops are evenly distributed like spreading pancakes, then it is very likely that there are troops stationed in all directions, but all directions are like paper, and it will be broken with a single stab. When encountering the main forces of Britain, France or Turkey , that is more passive.

But the command of the Black Sea is in your hands, and the British and French fleets cannot enter, so there is only one direction to worry about - that is Bulgaria, the main force of the enemy can only come from this place, and it is impossible to jump to your flank or surprise attack you.

Even if the surrounding areas of Wallachia are under great pressure, there is no way this pile of hundreds of thousands of Russian troops will be eaten up in one bite. With the fortifications built by Li Xiao and the others in advance, as long as the Russian army can't hold on, they can slowly fight against the enemy. deal with.

Even, because the command of the sea is in their hands, the Black Sea coast is the free hunting ground of the Black Sea Fleet. Instead, they can continuously send small groups of troops to land on the enemy's rear from the flanks to carry out harassment or sabotage operations.

This was much more proactive, so even if it was a bit of a trick to himself, Li Xiao's final choice was to block the Bosporus Strait, forcing the British, French and Turkish allied forces to attack the Danube line.

Li Xiao's overall strategy was highly appreciated by Dmitry, especially the tactic of Bray's blockade of the strait was amazing, because no one had ever thought of doing this before, the key is that Li Xiao can still manage to achieve this goal technically .

It is really amazing that cheap indigenous weapons such as mines can make the mighty Royal Navy, no, even the French Navy.

"It can only stop them for a while," but Li Xiao was not very happy, he replied sullenly: "There has never been a weapon that can conquer the world. The effect of sea mines is good now, but the British and French have never encountered this trouble." ...once they realize what the problem is, their ingenuity is great and they can come up with a solution!"

Speaking of which, Li Xiao sighed again: "It's only a matter of time, even as long as they are ruthless enough, a large number of ships can break through a bloody road! The control of the Black Sea will be lost sooner or later!"

Dmitry was stunned, he didn't expect Li Xiao to be so pessimistic about the prospect of war. We must know that both domestic and Wallachia are very excited about the brilliant achievements of the Black Sea Fleet. They all agree that the Black Sea Fleet is very good and strong. Not to mention fighting against the British and French fleets, at least they will continue to compete with them. big.

But Li Xiao believed that the Black Sea Fleet was no match for the British and French fleets at all, and believed that the control of the Black Sea would change hands sooner or later. If those blindly optimistic people in the country knew about this, they might kill someone.

It's just that Dmitry thinks that Li Xiao's analysis and judgment are generally correct. The control of the Black Sea will indeed change hands sooner or later. Once Britain and France control the control of the Black Sea, what awaits them is probably a nightmare!

How cool it was for them to beat up the Turks in Sinop before,

Then it would be equally cool for Britain and France to abuse them at that time. Especially considering the tragedy of the shelling of Sinop Port, this is likely to be the future fate of Russian ports.

Dmitry doesn't think that Britain and France will be polite to them. It is one thing to condemn Russia for massacring civilians. When it is their turn, let alone massacre civilians. Genocide is a normal method. Whether it is right or wrong only exists in whether it is beneficial enough for them.

If the benefits are sufficient, then even committing an unspeakable crime is not worth mentioning. On the contrary, if it hurts their interests, you just trampled to death an ant by walking, which is also a heinous crime that both humans and gods hate.

Dmitry has a deep understanding of the morals of those bastards, because Russia also operated in the same way before, but at that time Russia had many friends in the world and had a certain right to speak. Unlike now, everyone hates it, and even a friend I couldn't find it, and there was no one to help me.

Li Xiao suddenly said: "Before the loss of control of the sea, we'd better inflict heavy damage on the enemy and consume their vital strength as much as possible!"

On this point Dmitry fully agrees, who does not want to destroy the enemy in large numbers? The question is how? The possibility of relying on passive defense on the battlefield is too small, right?

Li Xiao sighed again and said, "It's not impossible, but I'm a little worried that it will hurt Tianhe, and it is very likely to kill 10,000 enemies and lose 8,000..."

Dmitry was taken aback, and asked curiously, "Is there such a way?"

Li Xiao nodded and said, "Yes! And it's guaranteed to work!"

It's just that he doesn't particularly want to use it, because once he uses those tricks, it's like opening Pandora's box, and God knows what will come out of it, and one of them might even trap himself in it, so he is hesitant !

"Tell me, what is the solution?" Dmitry was very interested.

Li Xiao saw that he was still hesitant to speak, and he hesitated under Dmitri's constant urging: "Disease is the best weapon. I told you before that the lethality of plague and other infectious diseases is far greater than that of guns." Cannons, so if you want to kill the enemy, you can make a fuss from this aspect!"

Dmitry froze for a moment, and asked rather curiously, "How should I do it?"

"Pollution of water sources, and intentionally sending the clothes or excrement of patients suffering from plague and other infectious diseases to the enemy, and when necessary, throwing rats that may be suffering from plague and other diseases into their living places..."

Dmitry was immediately shocked, because this brain hole made him speechless, and more importantly, this trick was too damaging...
