On November 17, Jerome Bonaparte, in the name of Supreme Commander of the Headquarters of the Expeditionary Force (who makes it impossible for the entire expeditionary force to have a higher position than Jerome Bonaparte, and no one better than France) able to fight the army, which led him to easily order the three kingdoms of Insatu) to issue the order to gather, the commander of the English expeditionary force, Marshal Raglan, the commander of the Sardinian expeditionary force, Marshal La Maramore, and the Ottoman expeditionary force. Commander Omar Pasha, together with their adjutants and staff officers, went to the French Expeditionary Force Command in the cold wind and accepted the unified command of the French Expeditionary Force Command.

When everyone arrived near the French headquarters, they saw Jerome Bonaparte and Marshal Perlisier standing at the door. They quickly accelerated their pace and arrived at the headquarters.

"Your Majesty!" Marshal Raglan and others who entered the headquarters bowed and saluted Jerome Bonaparte in unison to show their respect.

Jerome Bonaparte nodded slightly, smiled and responded to Raglan and the others: "Thank you for your hard work! Please come with me, everyone!"

Afterwards, everyone who arrived at the headquarters came down to the conference hall of the Expeditionary Forces headquarters at the invitation of Jerome Bonaparte.

At this time, there were a small piece of cake and a cup of steaming coffee on the long conference table in the conference hall. It seemed that these should be specially prepared for them.

"Sit down! Everyone!" Jerome Bonaparte's voice reached everyone's ears, "Considering that you all came from the north bank of Sevastopol in the cold, I specially asked the kitchen to prepare it for you. Stuff! Hope you are satisfied!"

Jerome Bonaparte's words caused everyone present to feel a warm feeling in their hearts, and they respected Jerome Bonaparte even more in their hearts.

Raglan Yuan and others thanked Jerome Bonaparte once again, and then found their respective seats and sat down to enjoy cake and coffee.

As soon as the steaming coffee entered the stomach, the chill and exhaustion were immediately dissipated, and everyone present couldn't help but feel a lot more energetic.

After a while, after almost everyone present had wiped out their own cakes and coffees, Jerome Bonaparte said, "Everyone, the purpose of calling you here is to hope that you will be in the next paragraph. Time, can actively cooperate with the French military operations, and strive to solve the Russian army entrenched in the three cities of Bakhchisaray, Simferopol and Saki as soon as possible!

Destroy the Russian Empire in Crimea! "

As soon as these words came out, the expressions of everyone present changed immediately. They did not understand why Jerome Bonaparte chose to attack at this time.

Could it be that France and Russia broke up so soon?

A few days ago, the French Empire and the Russian Empire were still negotiating peace.

Just when everyone was wondering why Jerome Bonaparte chose to attack at this time, Marshal Raglan, who was second only to Jerome Bonaparte in the coalition, raised his hand gently. .

"Marshal Raglan, what do you want to say?" Jerome Bonaparte asked with a smile.

Marshal Raglan stood up and asked Jerome Bonaparte in a respectful manner: "Your Majesty, please forgive me for asking you a question! Why do you want to attack the Russian Empire at this time?"

"Marshal Raglan, do we need to pick an auspicious date when we launch an attack?" Jerome Bonaparte asked back.

"That's not what I meant!" Marshal Raglan hurriedly shook his head and cautiously put forward his own understanding: "I just think that it is not appropriate to launch a general attack on Bakhchisaray under such weather! Our troops are not used to fighting in such weather!

If you attack rashly, it may affect the combat effectiveness of the army! "

"Not used to it?" Jerome Bonaparte raised his eyebrows and replied sternly: "We don't have time to wait for the soldiers to get used to the combat environment. This is the battlefield and not a place for children to play, so we must Just take action!"

"Why do we attack so urgently?" Marshal Raglan asked Jérôme Bonaparte again, "We can wait until next spring to attack them!

I believe that the Russian army at that time was easier to deal with than it is now! "

La Malamour and Omar Pasha also secretly agreed with Marshal Raglan's words in their hearts.

After all, the original Emperor Napoleon was smashed into the sand in the winter of Moscow. They thought that they were less than half of Napoleon's ability, which was a bit of a crime.

"Marshal Raglan, what is your basis?" Jerome Bonaparte asked in a calm tone.

"What basis?" Marshal Raglan looked at Jerome Bonaparte suspiciously.

"You didn't say that the Russian army in the spring is easier to deal with than the Russian army in the winter! I think you should have a basis for this statement!" Jerome Bonaparte said sternly.

"Most of our soldiers have not experienced the Russian winter, so..." Marshal Raglan responded to Jerome Bonaparte.

"Does it mean that the Crimea peninsula only freezes us in winter, not the Russian soldiers?" Jerome Bonaparte asked, "Or do you think the supplies that the Russian Empire can get now are far better than us?"

Facing Jerome Bonaparte's questioning, Marshal Raglan was silent for a moment.

Jérôme Bonaparte is right, whether it is the change of the army or the acquisition of logistical supplies, the coalition forces are elected to the Russian army, and they do not need to be so afraid.

"I know that some of you are afraid that we will repeat the mistakes of Emperor Napoleon in Moscow, so they are afraid of attacking!" Jerome Bonaparte responded to everyone present in an unquestionable tone: "Now I can Let me tell you responsibly, we will never repeat the mistakes of the year!

We have stronger artillery and rifles than we did in the past, and we have stronger means of transportation than we did in the past.

I can bluntly say that as long as our railways keep running, we can get a steady stream of no rush!

Those factors that used to be unfavorable to us have now been basically eliminated, so what do you have to worry about! "

As soon as Jerome Bonaparte's voice fell, Marshal Raglan was the first to applaud, and then everyone present applauded!

The Crimean winter had indeed frightened the courage of some generals. If it wasn't for Jerome Bonaparte's encouragement, the people present might not have the courage to make an offensive decision at all.

After all, there is a "heaven" above their heads that can make decisions for them, so they won't fall into the situation of wrangling each other.

"Sura Wushen"

Marshal Perlisier, who was sitting in the seat, also admired Jerome Bonaparte even more!

If he was in charge of presiding over this meeting, it would be impossible for him to achieve the effect of Jerome Bonaparte.

Because Marshal Raglan was on the same level as him in terms of military rank and status, it was impossible for him to repeatedly force Marshal Raglan to cooperate.

At that time, he may have to compromise with Marshal Raglan.

Once Perlisi compromises with Marshal Raglan, the original battle plan may be revised.

One to two, and the whole battle plan will become a mess.

After enjoying the applause of the crowd, Jerome Bonaparte showed a satisfied smile, and then clapped his hands lightly.

Jerome Paterson, who was standing at the door of the conference hall, heard the clapping from the room, and quickly entered the conference hall with a stack of documents in his arms, and placed the documents in front of Jerome Bonaparte.

"Post all the battle plans!" Jerome Bonaparte said to Jerome Paterson, nodding lightly on the table.

"Yes!" Jerome Patterson handed the bound battle plan to everyone present.

Everyone who received the battle plan looked at the battle plan intently, and Jerome Bonaparte said again: "This is just the initial plan! If there are changes in the subsequent wars, then there will be new battle plans. !"

Not long after, there was a rustling sound of page turning in the conference hall, and no one said a word.

About ten minutes later, Jerome Bonaparte crossed his hands and asked in a sullen tone, "Do you have any questions for me?"

This time, it was still Marshal Raglan who stood up: "Your Majesty~www.novelhall.com~ In the battle plan, our British army of 50,000 needs to dispatch 45,000 people. Isn't this a bit too risky!"

"Adventure?" Jerome Bonaparte spread his hands, shrugged his shoulders and said, "Marshal Raglan, I don't think this is too risky! Sevastopol doesn't need so much. force!

Besides, besides your 5,000 people, there are also 5,000 people from Omar Pasha!

As long as your 45,000 people plus the 20,000 people left behind by Yevpatoria can completely suppress the Russian army of Saatchi (currently 80,000 people in Saatchi) in the fortress!

Then there is no need to worry about the safety of Sevastopol! "

After listening to Jerome Bonaparte's words, Marshal Raglan sat down again.

Next, La Maramore and Omar also raised some questions, and Jerome Bonaparte also answered their questions one by one.

When everyone was all right, Jérôme Bonaparte said to them again: "Okay! Everyone, go back and prepare! I plan to attack the Russian army on the 19th, I hope you won't be at the critical moment. Time to drop the chain!"

Everyone present hurriedly got up and responded to Jerome Bonaparte: "Understood!"

After the meeting, everyone left the French headquarters. That night, Ivanov Gorchakov appeared again in front of Jerome Bonaparte and informed Jerome Bonaparte of Alexander II. Shi wants to continue the peace talks.

"Please tell your crown prince that the French army will not back down! We will occupy Bakhchisaray at the end of this month. At that time, the Russian Empire will discuss the issue of peace talks!"
