Struggle in Russia

Kornilov's counterattack was a bit sharp. At least Paskovich did not expect that this "little boy" was so scheming and could see through his strategy and was not fooled at all. Instead, they cling to the issue of heavy casualties caused by the attack, and insist on negating the offensive strategy.

This makes Lao Qiu Ba very uncomfortable. Do you think he doesn't know that continuing the attack will cause huge casualties? Do you think he doesn't know there's no benefit to keeping the army at Ineada?

In fact, with Paskovich's military qualities, he is fully aware of such simple problems. But the problem is that knowing it doesn't mean he will do it. The reason is very simple. He is currently riding a tiger.

Before, he pushed hard for the landing plan, but he also painted a wonderful blueprint and prospects for Nicholas I. The cowhide is now on the verge of bursting. If it is not repaired quickly, the consequences will be very serious.

As a veteran who witnessed Nicholas I ascending to the throne step by step to consolidate imperial power, Paskovich knew the emperor's temper all too well. He can give you great trust, but you must also repay it with the best results, otherwise he will not only take back everything before, but will also severely punish and hold you responsible for disappointing him.

Paskovich had seen too many people who had disappointed Nicholas I suffered miserably. This made him more and more in awe of the Tsar, and he also constantly warned and reminded himself that he could not do anything in the future. Follow in his footsteps!

And now, the landing plan has encountered a major setback. If you give up here, don't even think about Nicholas I telling you how terrible the wrath of thunder is. So Lao Qiu Ba must persist, no matter how great the sacrifice, he must continue to try, because he has no way back!

What Kornilov cannot accept now is his complete denial of the landing plan and his request to immediately terminate the offensive attempt. The former was tantamount to denying him everything and kicking him off the cliff, while the latter cut off his last hope and allowed him to die in peace.

To put it bluntly, in Paskovich's view, Kornilov is adding insult to injury and is trying to punish him to death. Can you tell him whether he can accept it?

"It's so ridiculous! You just don't know what to say!"

Paskovich viciously paused his crutches again, almost roaring: "If you give up at the slightest setback and doubt everything, why fight like this? Why did Frederick the Great choose to persevere to the end in an extremely desperate situation? That’s because he knows that only persistence can win!”

"If you choose to give up now, all your previous sacrifices will be in vain, and you will only suffer the ridicule of the Turks in vain! Our casualties here are large, will their losses be small? Duke Mikhail held them back on the Danube River With an army of one million, every day's consumption can collapse the Turks."

"And our team of surprise soldiers is now in the most uncomfortable and troublesome position for them. Now they are worried about the head but not the tail. As long as we continue to persist and continue to attack and kill the enemy, they will collapse sooner or later!"

"On the contrary, if we leave now, it will only give the enemy the illusion that they have defeated us, making their morale unprecedentedly high, so that they can continue to grit their teeth and persevere."

"Gentlemen, our mission is to win this war, not to ruin it because of a little difficulty! I believe that as long as we continue to persevere, we will definitely win!"

"Any remarks that are afraid of the enemy and advocate retreat are escapism and will ruin our victory. I will never accept it, and I believe you will never accept it either!"

Kornilov was so angry that he laughed, Damn, what is this? If you can win by gritting your teeth and persevering, then there are too many people in this world who can win and gain success. But the reality is that persistence does not always lead to good results, especially if you make the wrong choice and persist on the wrong road until you end up in trouble, the more you persist, the more tragic the end will be!

What's more, Paskovich's remarks themselves cannot be established. It is true that their sudden landing in the hinterland of Turkey caused some repercussions, but the repercussions were very limited. The Turks immediately sent heavy troops to encircle and suppress them without seeing it. There was no point at all. It means that the child is panicked.

What's more, the British and French forces soon arrived on the battlefield. As local forces became stronger and stronger, this so-called impact was not as severe as the reaction of the British and French forces arriving on the battlefield. At least according to the intelligence he received, the whole of Turkey was in a sensation. For the first time, they felt that defeating Russia was not a dream, and they could defeat Russia's ambitions in a single act of shame.

To put it bluntly, in terms of morale alone, the British and French participation in the war and their arrival on the battlefield had an unprecedentedly severe impact on both sides. The Russian army no longer had any advantage, and it was at an absolute disadvantage psychologically.

What's more, the main force of the British and French coalition forces has not yet arrived on the battlefield. The British and French troops on the battlefield now are just the vanguard. Once the main force arrives, Russia will be at an absolute disadvantage both in terms of military strength and psychology. If you persist until then, you will reap an unprecedented defeat, okay?

Kornilov was about to object immediately, but Paskovich didn't give him a chance to speak at all. He leaned on a crutch with one hand and waved his other hand in an imposing manner: "I don't want to hear anything more." Deny the nonsense about the landing operation plan and continue the offensive. As the commander-in-chief, I order all the troops to make corresponding preparations immediately and launch the attack at any time according to my orders!"

After finishing speaking, Paskovich walked away without looking back, without giving Kornilov a chance to interrupt. As for other onlookers, it was even less likely to stop Lao Qiu Ba. In the eyes of everyone, Lao Qiu Eighty-one limped and disappeared behind the door...

"My friend, I know you are not satisfied with this result, but this is Russia, this is reality, we have no ability to change, we can only accept it." Nasimov sighed deeply and patted Kornilov back, and said with emotion.

"But I just can't accept it!" Kornilov's fists were clenched so tightly that his knuckles turned white, which showed how angry he was. "The facts are clearly there, and it's a dead end, but yet... You have to go all the way to the dark side! You only think about your own position, your own reputation, and don’t care about the life and death of others... This kind of so-called famous general is worse than a pig or a dog!"

Nassimov was shocked. This was the first time that he saw Kornilov so angry that he could use swear words. However, the words about pigs and dogs really hit home in his heart. He also felt that Lao Qiu was not as good as pigs and dogs!
