Struggle in Russia

Li Xiao has no interest in the love-hate relationship between Grand Duke Constantine and Crown Prince Alexander, since neither of them is a good person anyway, dog bite dog, he expressed his willingness to move a small bench to watch a show and eat melons.

But Lebouf's worries are also very reasonable. These two troubled sons will definitely make Nicholas I even more irritable. The punching bag is gone.

It is very likely that Nicholas I is going to play tricks on him again, and his loyal dog legs must be anxious about the emperor again. However, Li Xiao was not particularly worried, because the progress on his side was relatively smooth. Thanks to godsons like the Bretianu brothers, they almost had no scruples in their actions in Bucharest. Anything goes.

Let's put it this way, the entire Wallachia Republic is almost defenseless against them, and Li Xiao has visited all the few military facilities, and he can clearly see what he should see and what he should not see.

So Li Xiao said with a smile: "We have basically found out everything that needs to be inquired about. The Wallachian people are very generous and hospitable!"

Well, this answer made Lebouf overjoyed. He really didn't expect the Wallachians to be so cowardly, just for a little bit of so-called international support. No matter how big the penis is, most of the underpants are exposed.

This is really terrible, because the Russians originally had an absolute upper hand in the military, but now they even have a clear grasp of the reality of the Wallachians, so there is nothing to fight. It is estimated that the Russian army will be invincible wherever they go in the future, and the Wallachians are really no joke at all!

It's just that Li Xiao doesn't particularly agree with Lebouf's judgment: "Uncle David, objectively, your statement is correct. Russia does have an absolute advantage, and it's only a matter of time before Wallachia is wiped out."

"But I don't think the Russian army will be invincible. On the contrary, the progress of the Russian army may not be as smooth as you think!"

Lebouf was stunned and said in amazement, "Why?"

"It is true that the preparations of the Wallachian upper elite were in a mess. It can even be said that they did not make any preparations. They put all their hopes on you and the British. The Wallachian National Guards were poorly equipped and had little ammunition. Insufficient, and the basic military quality of the officers is also very problematic, but..."

"However, the morale of the National Guard is not low, nor does it lack the courage to sacrifice for the Provisional Republic. Generally speaking, the soldiers are high-spirited, even if the equipment and supplies are poor, they are really hardworking and hardworking!"

Lebouf wondered, "What does this mean?"

"This means they will be difficult to deal with!" Li Xiao sighed,

Analyzing with a little sigh: "The mourning army will win! The Wallachia National Guard generally hates Russia and is full of courage and belief in sacrificing for the country. This makes them very difficult to deal with. Before the Russian army The battle in the Caucasus has already shown that as long as the local people resist fiercely and tenaciously, they can cause heavy losses and troubles to the Russian army."

Lebouf thought for a while, although he thought it made sense, but he still thought that Wallachia was too weak, and at most it was just causing a little trouble.

Li Xiao sighed again: "It's not a little trouble, it will be a big trouble. Uncle, you should still remember that the Russian army used troops against Turkey several times before, and they always got into trouble in Wallachia. That's because The local rivers and swamps are everywhere, the traffic conditions are bad, and the Russian army’s logistical supplies often get into trouble when they reach the Wallachia line, so even if there are heavy troops pressing down on the border, it is difficult for the Russian army to take a step forward.”

"That's still the new Turkish army fighting away, and the Wallachian National Guard fighting at home. Using the familiarity of the terrain, the overwhelming support of the local people, and the appropriate tactics, the Russian army will really suffer!"

Li Xiao was not joking. Later in the Crimean War, the heavy troops led by Duke Gorchakov were very unpopular in this muddy land. They were completely helpless and behaved really badly.

Lebouf asked curiously: "What is a suitable tactic? What do you think is more beneficial for the Wallachians?"

This time there is no need for Li Xiao to answer, and Vishniak helped Lebouf to solve the confusion: "Just like what the Spaniards did to Napoleon back then. Don't engage in direct decisive battles, and constantly harass the Russian army with guerrilla tactics. It’s best to cooperate with the strong wall to clear the field, then it’s really hard to say who wins and who loses!”

This time it was Lebouf's turn to laugh, and he commented contemptuously: "Then I'm sure, you will win in the end. Because those elites in Bucharest would never do this, let them be like you So decisive in 1812, that's impossible! Those stingers who want money will never break their own pots and pans!"

Well, Li Xiao and Vishniak can only look at each other with wry smiles, because Lebouf is very right, the noble landlord elites like Bretianu will never sacrifice their own interests, let them If they destroyed their own fields, real estate and food, it would be better to send them to the crematorium and burn them.

The reason why these guys strive for independence is to better protect their own interests. If independence will harm their vested interests, then why not be independent?

Therefore, there is no need to even think about strengthening the wall and clearing the wild, so it must not be agreed. What about guerrilla tactics? It is estimated that it will be difficult to pass, because the essence of guerrilla tactics is to ignore the gains and losses of a city and a pool, and to give up everything when necessary.

It is impossible for this group of landlords and old fortunes to abandon their homes! They will only ask the National Guard to confront the Russian army head-on, ensure that their industries will not be lost, and give up their homes? Then their property was looted by the Russians and hurried, who is to blame for the loss?

Lebouf really knows this group of Wallachian elites too well, and he has seen through that they cannot accept the most correct tactics, so even if the morale of the National Self-Defense Forces is high and full of courage to sacrifice for the country, the final outcome is to hit a stone with a pebble, It's just to cause a little trouble for the Russian army.

What's even more tragic is that when these Wallachia national self-defense fighters threw their heads and shed their blood to drain the last drop of blood, the Wallachia elites who led them would only hide in Bucharest, or continue to betray Wallachia. Sub-ordinary people and the future interests of the families of National Guard soldiers begged foreign fathers for help.

This is really embarrassing, even Lebouf, who loves money like his life, can't understand these despicable faces, and announced contemptuously: "So we have to be tougher on these bastards and squeeze them dry , Let them also experience the feeling of wanting to cry without tears!"
