Under the blatant threat of Major General Conrobel, Omar Pasha could only abandon his plan to raid the Austrian army on the north shore.
In the next few days, a large number of Austrian Empire appeared on the north bank of the Danube.
At the same time, Albrecht, commander-in-chief of the Austrian Empire Danube, and the commander of the First Army came to patrol the north bank of the Danube.
And Omar Pasha, the Turkish army commander of the Silistra fortress, also appeared on the tower of the Silistra fortress, looking at the north bank with a telescope.
"Looking at us with a telescope on the opposite side, I'm afraid it's the traitor Omar!" Albrecht on the wall of the North Shore fortress pointed to Omar Pasha on the Silistra fortress and said briskly.
The commander of the First Army, Benedek, raised the telescope while observing Omar, who was opposite to him, and responded to Albrecht: "That's right! He is Omar!"
"Judging from his defense against Prince Paskevich's attack, he should say a general with good ability! Why was he not used in Austria, but instead became a traitor to the Empire! Omar was a man who used to be the Ogulin Legion. , I remember that you were also in the Ogulin Legion at the time! Is there any unknown inside story!" Albrecht curiously asked Benedek beside him.
After pondering for a moment, Benedek replied cautiously: "Actually, this question is not an inside story! It just involves the embezzlement of public funds by a deputy head, who happens to be Omar's father. Because When Omar joined the Austrian army, he only worked as a clerical and did not show any extraordinary skills, so his clerical work also ended with his father's forced retirement. However, after he left the army Some of the public funds of the army that were stolen before, so he was identified as a traitor to the empire.
The reason why Omar was able to achieve this achievement is mainly due to his hard work within Ottoman. "
After listening to Benedek's speech, Albrecht stroked his chin and said briskly: "Listen to what you said, this Omar is still a military wizard without a teacher!"
"It's not so much that Omar Pasha is a military genius, it's better to say that the guy who designed this bastion fortress is the real person!"
Benedek, who is good at defensive operations, explained the mystery of this bastion to Albrecht (that is, the three sub-bastions complement each other, and the fortress of Silistra itself has a fortress relying on the Danube, which is extremely difficult to break through. ), and concluded: "To break such a castle, it is necessary to use more than four times the strength of the bastion, and it will take two months of continuous attack to destroy the castle! According to our experience in the Russian Empire According to the military attache, Prince Paskevich has not attacked the fortress of the country well from the beginning, so he has not made any progress for such a long time!"
"I didn't expect that how long ago the Russian Empire's army has become like this!" Albrecht couldn't help but sighed.
"Actually, the Russian Empire's offensive in Hungary had exposed some shortcomings! It's just that the Russian Empire's army at that time made up for the shortcomings with the advantage of the number of people!" Benedek, who participated in joint operations with the Russian Empire, once again said.
Albrecht once again lamented the "downfall" of the Russian Empire.
I think that Albrecht also listened to his father, Archduke Karl, about the generation that the Russian Empire and Napoleon fought in Eastern Europe and Germany.
Their generation generally has a much higher sense of the Russian Empire than the actual Russian Empire.
The myth of the "European road roller" was completely shattered in Albrecht's heart, and Albrecht also began to discuss whether his Austrian imperial army had the same shortcomings as the Russian Empire.
After Albrecht's adjutant reported to Albrecht that Bucharest had been completely occupied, Albrecht, who had reacted, walked down the fortress' tower and set off for Bucharest that night.
The day after Albrecht left, the coalition headquarters in Varna also sent them the next instructions of the coalition.
Since the Principality of the Danube is now occupied by the Austrian Empire, the Austrian Empire is now on the side of the coalition.
Therefore, the team of Omar and Conrobel located in the Silistra fortress does not need to continue to be stationed in the Silistra fortress. The Turkish and coalition forces in Silistra should be at the fastest speed (Coalition Command Headquarters) In the letter, they said they would send a troop carrier to bring troops from the Silistra fortress to Varna) to join the coalition forces in the Varna area.
Omar, who received the order, immediately counted 20,000 Turkish soldiers from the Silistra fortress, and handed over the city defense of the Silistra fortress to Musa Pasha.
Of course, instead of giving the command of Musa Pasha, it is better to say that all the rights of the fortress of Silistra were handed over to his former assistant, Colonel Lache, but Colonel Lache was a Prussian His identity is not conducive to his control of this mixed army, so Omar Pasha will choose Musa Pasha as the leader on the bright side.
As long as Musa Pasha is willing to follow Colonel Rah's command, the fortress of Silistra will not fall.
After doing all this, Omar Pasha and Conrobel quietly waited for the arrival of the fleet.
In the early morning of May 15, a huge fleet of gunboats, steam-sail battleships, and troop carriers appeared on the Danube next to the Silistra fortress.
The Turkish soldiers who discovered that the ship was flying the tricolor hurriedly reported the news to Major General Omar Pasha and Major General Conrobel, and the two quickly began to gather the army before the fleet was completely docked on the shore.
After three hours of rectification, more than 26,400 troops lined up neatly in two columns, and came to the port near the Silistra fortress with cavalry in the front and infantry in the rear.
Under the coordination of Helen of France, it took the whole team more than two hours to load all the people on the ship.
At this time, the sun has gradually moved from east to south, and the time has quietly come to around 2 pm.
The loaded French navy left the Danube under the scorching sun, and arrived at the periphery of the port of Varna at around 4 pm. They had to wait for the coalition forces in the port of Varna to board the ship and set off together.
Standing on the bow of the steam-driven sailing battleship, Omar Pasha, holding a telescope, saw the most shocking scene in his life.
The coalition forces in the port of Varna were arranged in an orderly manner, forming a mast forest in the port of Varna, with black smoke and steam floating, as if it were a huge industrial city floating on the water.
This kind of scene was something he couldn't see in the Ottoman Empire or even the Austrian Empire. It could only be seen in the British Kingdom and the French Empire, and this was just the tip of the iceberg in the two countries.
The scene in front of him completely shattered Omar Pasha's only pride in defeating the Russian Empire, and it also made Omar Pasha realize that there is also a huge difference between powers and powers.
If Omar Pasha is facing the current fleet attacking the Silistra fortress from the Danube, I am afraid that Omar Pasha will not be able to last for a few days.
Just when Omar Pasha was in a state of panic, Major General Conrobel's voice reached Omar Pasha's ears: "Do you feel shocked!"
Omar Pasha nodded subconsciously, then swallowed.
"When I saw a fleet of this size for the first time, I was just as surprised as you that our navy was able to keep pace with the Kingdom of Great Britain (exaggeration)!" His expression was the same as Omar's at that time when he was in the "boat forest" docked in the inner head of Lun's port.
Omar then asked Conrobel whether the Anglo-French fleet docked in the port of Varna was the full force of Britain and France in the Mediterranean.
Conrobel told Omar that what he saw in the port of Varna was only half the sea power of the British and French fleets in the Mediterranean, and half of them in Malta (Britain) and Toulon (France).
Not to mention that outside the Mediterranean, there are the La Manche Fleet, the Pacific Fleet, the Far East Fleet, and more.
Omar Pasha was once again shocked by the strength displayed by the British and French fleets, and was glad that the Ottoman Empire could be on good terms with the British Kingdom and the French Empire at the same time.
Time passed quickly, and more than two hours passed in a blink of an eye.
The fiery red sun reached sea level from south to west, forming a bright red halo around it. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com The white floating clouds floating in the sky also turned red after being rendered by a halo.
Under this mesmerizing sunset, there were 60,000 French troops, 30,000 British troops, 20,000 Sardinian troops, and 20,000 Ottoman troops (led by Selim Pasha), and more than 400 troops. The huge fleet of door artillery officially set sail.
The bare masts raised white sails that seemed to cover the sky, and the steam engine made a low "roar" as if to announce its awakening to the world.
"It's time to go!"
After the steam engine in the port of Varna made its first roar, the fleet outside the port put away the anchors placed underwater, and started the steam engine, which was silent for more than two hours. Thick black smoke came from the steam. The chimney in the second half of the sailboat appeared, and the underwater propeller head was also stirring the clear water secretly...
