Chapter 666: Russian counterattack (2/2)
When I said this, Ivanov himself did not believe it. It's totally idealistic to only do destruction and not kill.
During the actual operation, the enemy will definitely resist. How can it not be killed after a conflict? Red-eyed on the battlefield, the military discipline of the Russian army couldn't hold it.
Moreover, Ivanov was preparing to send Cossack cavalry to carry out this plan, and the situation was even more uncontrollable.
Alexander II shook his head: ”It is impossible not to kill people, but to kill them selectively. We must resolve the enemy's youth and leave the old and weak, and give the international community an explanation.
Talk about your plans. The enemy is not a fool. It is not so simple to go into the enemy's realm alone. If it is bitten by the enemy, it will be very troublesome. ”
The reputation of Alexander II didn't care anymore. Since he was already an enemy, he naturally weakened as much as possible. He wouldn't mind a massacre if he hadn't taken into account the reactions of European countries.
Ivanov: ”Your Majesty, this plan is to move together by sea and land. On the land, saxophone cavalry is dressed as a robber and it crosses the border to destroy it.
The sea attack is the same as the last war, except that this time our mission is special. In order to avoid unnecessary troubles, some troops may need to act as pirates.
We can issue a private plunder permit to encourage civilian armed forces to participate in the robbery of the enemy's coastal areas, and it would be even better if it could attract real pirates.
Taking into account the position of the Vienna government, the hostages plundered by the pirates can be sold to Austrian colonial merchants. ”
Compassionate, in order to win the war, Ivanov has given up his temper.
After weighing the pros and cons, the room was quiet. There is neither support nor opposition. Obviously everyone is an elite in the bureaucracy, and they are reluctant to take the lead in matters of responsibility.
Alexander II stared hard at the crowd: ”Why is it dumb? Whether it is support or opposition, we must have a clear attitude today.”
After a pause, he added: ”If there is an objection, come up with a better plan. The situation on the battlefield is in crisis and there is not so much time for you to waste.”
As a last resort, Chancellor of the Exchequer Kristanval stood up: ”His Majesty, Marshal Ivanov's proposal is very good, but some details need to be improved.
It is not easy to penetrate the enemy's territory, and the entire army will be wiped out if we are not careful. How can we ensure the safety of our troops? ”
agreed. No way, Kristanval is not good at fighting, and it is embarrassing for him to come up with a combat plan.
Ivanov said with confidence: ”This is very simple. On the front battlefield, we have restrained the main force of the general army. The enemies in the rear will not be too strong.
Moreover, there is also airship reconnaissance, which can grasp the movement of the enemy's large army and make timely adjustments.
As long as the troops attacked by land and sea are not too far into the inland areas, they can withdraw before the enemy comes. We just do destruction, we don't need to occupy the place.
Cossack cavalry is mainly on land. The only thing that can threaten them is the Polish cavalry, but their number is too small.
Because of the logistical relationship, we will control the scope of activities and will not stay away from the main force. ”
This is all theoretical. In actual battles, Ivanov is certainly not as simple as that. Not to mention, as long as the General Army operates at night, the airship will not be able to detect it.
Even if general movements were discovered, high-altitude reconnaissance could not distinguish between the main force and the cannon fodder. If the general forces are willing, civilians can be impersonated by imposing military uniforms.
These problems, Marshal Ivanov naturally would not say, otherwise there will be a moth. He has no expectations at all about the military level of his colleagues.
...
Ivanov breathed a sigh of relief when the resolution was passed. Once this plan is started, blood will flow into the river and the reputation of the Russian Empire will once again fall to the bottom.
No matter how beautified, this will be a dark history.
