"...We must cut off the bear claws that are trying to dominate the East, and let them get out of the Near East..."

St. Arnault and Baron Raglan reached a consensus on the description of the image of the Russian Empire. The two laughed. The laughter caused the officers in the entire camp gate to laugh with their superiors.

After the laughter ended, Saint Arno and Baron Raglan raised their glasses again, and the scarlet liquid Chen put in the glasses swayed back and forth a few times with the crisp sound of collision, and then drank it all.

After three rounds of drinking, Baron Raglan, who was slightly drunk, explained to Marshal Saint Arno that the British army could not engage in high-intensity combat in a short period of time.

St. Arnault, who had already learned about the basic situation of the British army from Ambassador Wallevsky, immediately told Baron Raglan that the coalition forces would not have large-scale battles in a short period of time, and the British army only needed to send a small number of cavalry troops to follow. France can act together.

"What do you want to do?" Baron Raglan asked Saint Arno.

"Mr. Raglan, our army has been in the Varna area for nearly a few months. It's time to say hello to the Russian Imperial Army near the Silistra fortress!" St. Arno shrugged his shoulders , showed a meaningful smile and said to Lord Raglan: "After all, Paris is also waiting for the news of our victory!"

"Well, it looks like we all have to face our own governments!" Baron Raglan sighed slightly and said to Saint Arno.

"No!" St. Arnault quickly corrected Baron Raglan and said that the French army was not urged by the government, and they all volunteered to offer good news for the empire.

After all, every French soldier wants to wash away the defeat they suffered at the hands of the Russian Empire.

Hearing St. Arno's explanation, Baron Raglan also showed a meaningful smile.

Next, the British army and the French army negotiated the distribution of troops to the fortress of Silistra.

Among them, the French army will send a force of 10,000 people (including the Zhuav regiment), led by the commander of the French 1st Division, Canrobert, to the fortress of Silistra "to help" Omar Pasha in the fortress, and the British side Then he led 1,000 cavalry troops and 3,000 infantry troops to the fortress of Silistra with the French army under the leadership of the Duke of Cambridge.

When Baron Raglan asked Marshal St. Arno when he would leave for the Silistra Fortress, St. Arno replied that Baron Raglan would not be able to leave until February 25th.

Baron Raglan asked Marshal Saint Arno again why, and Marshal Saint Arno replied: "Mr. Raglan, the protagonists of this war are not only our two armies! There are also two armies that have not arrived. On the battlefield, we need to wait patiently for a few days!"

Baron Raglan suddenly remembered that the Ottoman Empire and the Kingdom of Sardinia also declared war on the Russian Empire, and the British and French forces should wait for them to arrive in Varna and dispatch together.

However, Baron Raglan maintained a cautious and skeptical attitude towards the combat effectiveness of the Ottoman Empire and the Kingdom of Sardinia.

Especially the Sardinian army, whose poor performance in 1848 has long been forgotten by Baron Raglan.

"Mr. Raglan, please rest assured! Although the overall army of the Kingdom of Sardinia needs to be negotiated, some of them have no lower fighting will than the armies of our two countries! I believe that the ruler of the Kingdom of Sardinia must be in power. The best soldiers among them will be carefully selected, and then they will be sent to us for our use!" San Arno did not shy away from referring to the Sardinian troops as consumables.

"That's right!" After thinking for a moment, Baron Raglan nodded and said to St. Arno: "I don't think the Kingdom of Sardinia will send over the scraps from the army!"

"As for the army of the Ottoman Empire..." Saint Arno sighed and said, "That can only be left to fate!"

Although Omar Pasha resisted the Russian army for several months in the Silistra fortress, this does not mean that the Ottoman army itself has the ability to rival the Russian army.

The fortress made it easier for the Ottoman Empire to defend against the Russian Empire's offensive, but it did not allow the Ottoman Empire to turn its defensive advantage into an offensive advantage.

Not to mention the disparity in the quality of the troops of the Ottoman Empire. The combat capabilities of many vassal troops (Egypt, Tunisia) are far greater than the combat capabilities of the native Ottoman troops.

"I hope the Ottoman Empire will not live up to our expectations!" Baron Raglan shrugged and responded to St. Arno.

Both the British and French armies remained skeptical about the combat capabilities of the upcoming Ottoman army.

After the British and French armies had discussed the road operation, the British Admiral Dundas and the French Admiral General Bruill discussed the bombardment of the capital of Odessa.

"I suggest that our two naval forces set off tomorrow for Odessa!" Admiral General Bruill said to General Dundas.

Gugua "This..." General Dundas hesitated. He thought that General Bruard was a little too radical, and he responded politely: "Is this too hasty! None of our troops have been groomed yet!"

The army that General Dundas referred to was naturally the British Army.

General Bruard heard the subtext of General Dundas, and he told General Dundas that the British and French navies went to Odessa just to survey whether the defense of the capital of Odessa was empty, and at the same time to stop the naval fleet in the capital of Odessa. To attack, the army does not need to follow.

After listening to General Bruard's explanation, General Dundas took another look at Baron Raglan, commander of the British Expeditionary Force.

With the approval of Baron Raglan, General Dundas agreed to General Bruard's plan.

After the banquet, General Dundas was called by General Raglan to the tent to discuss.

Early the next morning, nearly 2,000 British infantrymen left the barracks for the port of Varna.

When the British army arrived at the port of Varna, they saw that a large number of French soldiers had already gathered in the port. This group of French soldiers boarded the boats in an orderly manner under the leadership of their commanders. The French soldiers were transported into the troop transport, and the person in charge of commanding the troops to board the ship was the second division commander Bauquet.

After all the French soldiers had been transported aboard, Bauquet came to Baron Raglan and responded respectfully, "Commander Raglan!"

"Didn't you guys say yesterday that this operation was just an advance battle and didn't need too many people? Why did you change your mind today?" Baron Raglan asked Bocas, half-jokingly and half-seriously.

"Our marshal thinks! If our infantry troops don't follow the navy to fight together, it will be difficult to seize the fleeting fighter!" Boques responded with reason, and then blinked and pointed at Lager The army behind Commander Lun asked back: "Commander Raglan, the troops behind you probably didn't come here to watch the fun!"

"It seems that our two armies have both thought about going together!" Baron Raglan replied politely, and then laughed at himself: "It's just that neither of us seems to be very candid!"

"Yeah!" Bocas nodded with empathy.

The two who knew it well automatically avoided the reasons for their infidelity.

After all, Britain and France have been imaginary enemies for far more time than they have been working together.

Even though Marshal St. Arno and Baron Raglan said they were cooperating frankly, in fact they still regarded each other as enemies.

This time, it was just that both parties wanted to go together, which is why this embarrassing scene was created.

Then, under the command of Baron Raglan, the British army got on the boat in turn, and then entered the troop carrier through the boat.

At noon, the originally cloudy Varna port suddenly cleared up, and the warm sunlight passed through the thin cloud, spreading the brilliance to the Varna port and the Black Sea, shining on the cream-like sails, the entire Varna port. In this sudden sunshine is now extraordinarily warm.

When the last two small boats carried the British and French naval commanders and leading generals aboard, the semaphore soldiers who climbed up the observation deck waved their flags to give orders to the surrounding fleets. UU reading www. uukanshu.com

This is the first sincere cooperation between the British Kingdom and the French Imperial Fleet after the 19th century. Every navy sailor has a confident expression on his face. They believe in the world's first navy and the world's second navy. Together, there will be no force in the entire world that can stand against it.

The fact is as they thought, since the navies of the two countries of Britain and France have been gathering near the Bosphorus Strait and have experienced a naval battle. Originally ambitious, the Russian navy, which wanted to compete with the British and French fleets, was as if its spine had been forcibly broken. It was completely paralyzed near the Sevastopol fortress and the capital of Odessa, and did not dare to compete with Britain and France. The fleet competes directly.

Immediately after the Russian Imperial Navy gave up the war, the entire Black Sea became boring.

Even though the British and French fleets repeatedly went to the Sevastopol fortress to provoke the Russian Imperial Navy, the Russian Imperial Navy still refused to come out of the port of the Sevastopol fortress.

The British and French navies, who did not receive the order to attack the port, lingered near the Sevastopol fortress for a long time, and finally came here in a hurry and returned in disappointment.

Now they have obtained permission to attack from their respective supreme commanders.

He is about to vent his fighting spirit to the port of Odessa with a passionate attitude.
