"What? London will let my troops go to support Silistra now?"

Inside the Rhode Island camp, Duke Raglan looked at the ambassador to Turkey, Canning, who arrived in Rhode Island by speedboat with a surprised expression, and confronted with a slightly excited tone.

"Commander Raglan, please don't be so excited!" Ambassador Canning whispered with a helpless smile on the corner of his mouth.

"Does the London side know that when I took over this force, it was on the verge of collapse! 7% casualties, not a small number! It's only a week away, let them go to Silis Terra! Are they really afraid of a mutiny?" Baron Raglan couldn't help pouring his anger on Canning.

The severe cold on the Gallipoli Peninsula brought not only physical damage to the British army, but also a psychological blow. It is simply impossible to rely on a week's time for the British army, which has no qualifications to experience **** battles, to overcome the fear of severe cold.

It is true that Baron Raglan could order officers to force the mobilization of the British army with whips and barbed martin boots.

But soldiers are human beings, not animals, blindly relying on fear to drive the army to fight, the result will only make the morale of the army even more depressed.

If the trouble is bad, Baron Raglan and others will "welcome" the mutiny.

"I know Commander, it's not easy for you!" Ambassador Canning raised his face and said with a smirk: "But you also need to consider London. It has been nearly three months since the British government declared war on the Russian Empire. But our army has yet to pull out a result that satisfies the people of London. London always has to take into account the pressure of some public opinion..."

"Public opinion, public opinion... I only left London for a few days, and that was kidnapped by public opinion!" Baron Raglan, a conservative thinker, couldn't help complaining, "As I said, all those who clamored for war should be taken out. Pull to the front line! I will definitely let my officers use the leather boots under their feet and educate them hard!"

After speaking, Baron Raglan stomped twice as if in a demonstration.

"Your Majesty, sometimes the government has to take into account the attitude of the people of London!" Ambassador Canning could only try to explain to Baron Raglan in a euphemistic manner that the soldier who had followed the Duke of Wellington for most of his life was in some respects Even more stubborn than Baron Wellington, "London just asked your army to move a bit, not to let you go shopping with the Russian army in the ice and snow!"

"Oh?" Baron Raglan gave Canning a surprised look and asked in confusion, "What does this mean? Did the British army travel all the way to Silistra to fight against the Russian Empire?"

"The government has taken into account that the British army may have some difficulties, so they did not force the British army to quickly enter the battle after arriving in Silistra!" Ambassador Canning explained, suddenly he seemed to think of something and shouted With a sound: "Yes! I almost forgot about this method!"

"What's the matter?" Baron Raglan looked at Ambassador Canning with a puzzled expression.

"Your Excellency Commander, it suddenly occurred to me that since our government is just letting the troops go to Silistra to help the Ottoman Empire in a stupid country, then we can do the opposite!

After the British army arrives in Varna, you can keep the army in the Varna area in the name of the joint operation of the Allied Command! After all, this time was a joint military operation, and Britain could not, in principle, go against the opinions of the Joint Command. In this way, the army can smoothly hand over to the London government! "Ambassador Canning presented a solution to Baron Raglan.

After hearing Ambassador Canning's solution, Baron Raglan's eyes lit up, and he tightly held Ambassador Canning's hand and said, "You are truly the savior of the army!"

"Your Excellency Commander, this is what I should do, and I don't want to let the young man in Britain fight the Russian Empire in this icy world!" Ambassador Canning, who was sorely held by Baron Raglan's rough hands, showed reluctance. responded with a smile.

"Then what are you waiting for, let's act now!" Baron Raglan said excitedly to Ambassador Canning, and then he suddenly thought that the plan needed the cooperation of the French army, so he put his mind on Ambassador Canning. : "Ambassador Canning, the French side..."

Ambassador Canning naturally understood what Baron Raglan meant. He patted his chest and told Baron Raglan that he would do work in France.

Afterwards, Ambassador Canning and Baron Raglan left the camp side by side, and Baron Raglan personally put Ambassador Canning on the speedboat.

After Ambassador Canning left, Baron Raglan once again summoned his adjutants and the commanding officers of the army, and conveyed the order of the London government to them.

Under the leadership of the Duke of Cambridge, the generals and colonels who received the order said that the morale of the British army was still recovering, and it was better to stay in Rhodes Island.

"Of course I know that staying in Rhode Island is the best way to restore morale, but the government's orders must be implemented, and there is no room for bargaining!" Baron Raglan looked around with sharp eyes, and his tone was unquestionable to the Duke of Cambridge. command.

Under the mandatory order of Baron Raglan, the Duke of Cambridge and others could only obey the command of the expeditionary army commander.

"Okay, go back and prepare yourself!" Baron Raglan took out his pocket watch and looked at it for a while, then waved to the Duke of Cambridge and the others, "Order your troops to set off on time at four o'clock in the afternoon!"

"Yes!" The Duke of Cambridge and others responded, and then went to their respective armies.

When the Duke of Cambridge and others conveyed the news of their departure to their officers, they were also greeted by complaints from the officers.

Valley Noodles The Duke of Cambridge and others had to use Baron Raglan as a shield to prevaricate them, and then gave them the order of Baron Raglan.

In this way, under the first-level orders, the soldiers also complained about the inhumane Baron Raglan in their hearts.

Finally, under the officer's leather boots, the soldiers reluctantly began to pack their bags and set off.

And after their wives heard the news of the departure, they also prepared to set out with them.

However, Baron Raglan's order an hour later clearly required his wife to stay in Rhodes Island, on the grounds that Britain's existing ships could not satisfy her.

Some of the wives in the army obeyed the orders of Baron Raglan, and the vast majority of wives in the army still went their own way. They believed that Baron Raglan would definitely let them go on board in the end.

The time soon reached 3 o'clock in the afternoon, and Vice Admiral Dundas led the Mediterranean Fleet and troop carriers in the waters near Rhodes Island.

A small boat was released from the warship and rowed towards Rhode Island.

When the boat arrives in Rhodes Island, the soldiers standing on the Rhodes Island dock will line up under the organization of the landscape to board the boat one by one. The boat carries soldiers, artillery, and horses to the warship.

As for the military wives who were also waiting to board the ship. Under the stern watch of Baron Raglan, no officer dared to put an accompanying wife on board.

The tragedy of Gallipoli has already reflected the backwardness of the military wife system.

It took more than four hours for 18,600 soldiers to board the ship. When the last boat carried Baron Raglan on board in the deserted night sky of the golden snake, the steam warship issued a dull "roar" and started.

All the way to the north, it gradually disappeared from sight. There was only a group of wives who were stranded on the island of Rhode Island, and there were more than thousands of French logistics personnel stationed in Rhode Island (including engineering troops, technical work)

After a night of sailing, the steam warship quickly crossed the Bosbrus Strait and gradually approached the port of Varna at four in the morning.

Lieutenant General Dundas, who was in command of the warship, saw the French warship moored in the port through the observation glass, and immediately turned around to enter the warship, and knocked gently on the door of Baron Raglan's room in the warship.

"Come in!" Baron Raglan responded angrily to Lieutenant General Dundas outside the door.

Admiral Dundas, who entered the room, saw Baron Raglan standing by the table and looking down at the map, he hurriedly reported to Baron Raglan: "Your Majesty, my fleet has successfully arrived near the port of Varna. sea!"

Baron Raglan raised his head, looked at Lieutenant General Dundas in front of him with tired eyes, and nodded, "I see! Just get close!"

"Yes!" Lieutenant General Dundas, who received the order, left Baron Raglan's room~www.novelhall.com~ and the Duke of Cambridge, who lived next to Baron Raglan, heard the movement from the next door. He got up from the fixed camp bed, and after a little grooming, he arrived at the door of Baron Raglan.

Baron Raglan, who lowered his head and heard the movement outside the door, did not raise his head, but responded lightly, "What happened?"

"Your Majesty, you haven't slept all night?" The Duke of Cambridge asked Baron Raglan tentatively.

After Baron Raglan heard the voice of the Duke of Cambridge, he raised his head and glanced at the Duke of Cambridge, and said in a flat tone, "You haven't slept all night!"

"I...I'm not nervous!" The Duke of Cambridge replied hesitantly.

At this time, the Duke of Cambridge is only 34 years old. He has not fought a war yet. He is a very noble generation, so he is nervous and excited about the upcoming battle.

"There's nothing to be nervous about!" Baron Raglan said slowly and peacefully: "When you actually enter the battlefield, you will forget everything and devote yourself to the fight! Get honor and everything you want !"
