The mentality of a veteran like Duke Mikhail must be completely different from that of a stunned young man like Leonid. He will never go to war with only his blood, and he will never think that his opponent is really a group of cowards who will collapse once they are hit.

Although Turkey's performance in the last few wars was not good, and it was indeed like a piece of dough that could be manipulated casually, Duke Mikhail still knew that it would not be easy for him to win, especially when Turkey was sticking to it. Looking back on the tough battle now, it gave him a headache.

It is not uncommon for a bastion to hold on for several months, and even repeated tug-of-war for half a year is also normal.

If there is no interference from other countries, it is no problem for Russia and Turkey to grind the Turks to death so slowly. But this time, Duke Mikhail knew that it was completely different. The pressure from outside Russia had never been so great. Britain and France were on the side of opposition, and even the allies hesitated and refused to give any approval. means nothing.

This made him have to consider the possibility of Britain and France joining the war. Although he didn't think this possibility was particularly high, who could say for sure about the current international situation?

Even if Britain and France did not directly join the war, even if they indirectly transfused blood to Turkey, it would make Russia very uncomfortable. After all, fighting to consume Russia will definitely consume Turkey, which is supported by Britain and France.

Therefore, as the actual coach, he must consider all relevant factors and formulate relevant countermeasures, even if the worst situation arises, he must be able to manage it.

This includes what to do if Britain and France declare war on Russia and intervene in the war?

Duke Mikhail's staff team has conducted many military chess deduction or map operations on this possibility.

His staff members agreed that if Britain and France really intervene in the war, it will be a limited intervention, and the most likely way is to send the navy to help Turkey fight.

Including the struggle for sea control in the Black Sea, as well as the blockade and shelling of Russian military facilities along the Black Sea coast.

As for directly sending an expeditionary force to fight in the Balkans, the staff thinks that this possibility is too small, because the cost is too high, and it may lead to a complete collapse of the relationship between the three countries, and even lead to a full-scale conflict with the Holy Alliance.

Therefore, the staff believe that Britain and France will be more restrained even if they participate in the war, and the navy is undoubtedly a typical example of small investment and great results.

Duke Mikhail also agrees with this. He does not think that Britain and France will send expeditionary forces to fight in the Balkans. The logistical burden and cost are too great, and even Britain and France may not be able to bear it. And dispatching their navy, which has an absolute advantage, is definitely the first choice.

"In that case, the pressure on the Black Sea Fleet is not so great!"

Duke Mikhail looked at the Black Sea on the map and frowned. The Black Sea Fleet is of special significance to him. It can not only suppress the Turks from the sea to block Turkey's sea transportation and troop lines, but also assist his own supply. Materials are of great significance.

Once the Black Sea Fleet was gone, the supply line was almost cut in half, and Duke Mikhail still can't forget the troubles caused by the quagmire supply line in previous wars. That was simply a nightmare, as long as I think about it, my brain hurts!

The only good news is that both Wallachia and Moldavia seem to be repairing roads, and Wallachia even built a railway, which greatly relieved the pressure on transportation.

"Walachia again..."

Prince Mikhail sighed again. Although he could understand what happened with Leonid, he was still a little upset because he didn't look at the face of the monk and the face of the Buddha. Doesn't it mean that he, the chief of staff, doesn't even have this bit of face? Yet?

It's just that he couldn't show it because of Crown Prince Alexander, but it's a bit of a grudge for sure, and it's not that he didn't think that Wallachia would beat Alexei in the past. But when he thought of the importance of Wallachia, Duke Mikhail's thoughts faded away.

At this time, he also had to admire Alexei and Li Xiao,

Before they knew it, the two young men had already grabbed a hand of cards, unlike before, they were not even qualified to speak at the table.

As long as Nicholas I decides to use force, no matter who is in command of this war, it must give Wallachia some face. Otherwise, all kinds of headaches will be enough for you.

Thinking of this, Prince Mikhail picked up the report of Leonid sent by the adjutant and read it carefully.

After a while, Prince Mikhail suddenly became serious. At first, when he saw Leonid's report, he also felt that the choice of Alexei and Li Xiao was a bit weird. With such a big advantage of our Russia, is it necessary to defend against Turkey?

At that time, he also agreed with Leonid's opinion. He felt that the focus of his side was not the problem of defense but the problem of attacking fortifications. How to capture a strong fortress without artillery support was a long-standing problem.

He feels that if this problem is solved, it can be said that more than half of the war will be won. But now that he has read the report carefully and combined with the international situation, Duke Mikhail feels differently. If the attack is not smooth and Britain and France intervene strongly, the war will indeed become extremely difficult.

If it is delayed for a long time, the variables will be even greater. Once the plague spreads and the logistics collapses like before, it may be really dangerous.

It is not a bad thing to count the defeat before counting the victory. At least safe, according to Wallachia's way of doing things, there is not much investment in attacking the fortifications but only focusing on defense, which at least has a basis even if there is a big trouble.

"It's interesting!"

Prince Mikhail muttered a few words, and then turned to look at the map. After pointing his fingers on the map, he turned and looked at the report again, and he suddenly understood.

"These two guys are really ghost spirits!"

Prince Mikhail thinks he has seen through the intentions of Alexei and Li Xiao——you two probably think that the offensive operation will not be smooth sailing, and there may even be hidden dangers. It will not be enough for you to continue to invest in this aspect. to a decisive role. But devoting precious resources to defense is a different story.

If the war goes well, Nicholas I's temper may not necessarily pursue Wallachia's conservative preparations for war. After a brilliant victory, who would want to get those trivial things. But if it fails, the situation will be different. With the fortification of Wallachia, it should be able to withstand the offensive of the Turkish army. After all, the Russian army is not good at fighting fortified points, let alone the Turks with poorer equipment.

Looking at it this way, this calculation is simply too reasonable, completely in line with the unexpected character of Alexei and Li Xiao, those two guys are really good at doing this kind of tricks!
