Chapter 92 Peacemaker
Alexey Brusinov, the commander of the Tver Dragoon Regiment, who was also urgently transferred and sent to support him, came to the Prussian Regiment to attend a joint meeting after the attack. , the leading officer of the attacked unit was also called to explain the situation.
The Tver Dragoon Regiment belongs to the Caucasus Military District. Under the leadership of Brusinov, this unit performed outstandingly in the Tenth Russo-Turkish War.
“The Austrians are well-equipped and have a large number of people. They set up an encirclement. When we entered the encirclement, they rushed out. We were outnumbered——” Cavalry Captain Yakov Zhilin from Ryazan Province Sky was ashamed.
Zhilinsky's unit is a local unit, and the equipment is indeed not very good.
"You were also stripped naked by the Austrians?" Commander Nicholas Jr. was furious.
"No, I returned to the camp to ask for support and was not captured by the Austrians." Zhilinsky was quite arrogant, and the faces of the two regiment commanders looked better.
"We will definitely fight back!" Cousin Vicky had no consciousness of being the initiator.
"We are also preparing a plan for the Austrians to humiliate the Austrians even more." The future governor added fuel to the fire.
But George seized on Zhilinsky's loophole and whispered to his cousin: "So - this guy abandoned his men when they were surrounded."
George could accept being captured in a fierce battle, but escaping in battle was absolutely unacceptable.
Even if there are fewer people in the patrol team of the local army, there are always dozens of people.
The Russian army has many problems. Courage is definitely not a problem. Even if there are more Austrians, they are not without the ability to resist.
"Sukabulie, you have become a deserter!" Cousin Guo scolded him, and he stood up to whip his belt.
"I didn't. I ordered them to retreat immediately, but there were too many Austrians, and they were outnumbered——" Zhilinsky looked horrified, defending his actions, and looked towards the church Brother's eyes were somewhat filled with resentment.
Zhilinsky was born in 1853. He entered the Nikolai Cavalry School in 1873 and graduated in 1876. During the Tenth Russo-Turkish War, Zhilinsky's unit did not participate in the war.
George had no impression of this man or his great achievements.
During the Russo-Japanese War, Zhilinsky served as the chief of staff to the Governor-General of the Far East Alexeyev. With his assistance, the Russian Empire lost the Russo-Japanese War.
In the early days of World War I, Zhilinsky served as the Chief of General Staff of the Russian Army and commanded the Russian army to lose the Battle of Tannenberg and the Battle of Lake Mazury. Zhilinsky was dismissed as a result.
In 1917, Zhilinsky retired in disgrace without losing his pension. After the armed uprising in Petrograd, Zhilinsky tried to escape and was arrested and shot.
"Is the opponent's large number of people the reason for your escape?" The cousin's belt flew up and down, knocking Zhilinsky to the ground, and the two regiment commanders were silent.
George was surprised and had a new understanding of the lynchings of the Russian army and his own power.
My cousin, like George, has the same military rank as captain, the same level as Zhilinsky.
Even if there is no equalization, if Zhilinsky makes a mistake, it will not be the Guards' turn to punish him. The Guards and the local troops are two systems and do not belong to each other.
“Damn guy, he should be sent to Vladivostok.” Little Nikolai also hated cowards.
Brusinov did not take up the challenge. He did not have the deep background of these grand dukes.
Brushinov was born in Tbilisi in 1853. His father was a lieutenant general in the Imperial Army and his mother was Polish.
“No, Vladivostok is a cesspit!” George strongly objected, don’t think any guy is sent to Vladivostok.
Everyone knows what Vladivostok is like, there are only a few people there, it is a standard wild place.
No matter what, George is still the younger brother of the king. It doesn’t matter if he is not given the blessed land in Europe. He is sent to Vladivostok in one piece. Not to mention it is a distribution. It is a bit of a fool. He bullies George for his young age. Sensible meaning. But George will always grow up.
Russia previously sent prisoners to Siberia, not necessarily to Vladivostok, but to the West Siberian Plain. The land there is also very fertile. The key is that there is a lot of land that can be developed.
Central Siberia is a plateau and Eastern Siberia is a mountainous area. There is very little land that can be developed in these two areas.
Asan also knows that there is little oil and water in Vladivostok. No matter how rich the mineral resources are underground, no one can extract them. Whether they can be transported out is also a problem.
The key to solving problems is people.
So after sealing Vladivostok to George, Russia sent more prisoners to Vladivostok to replenish the population of Vladivostok.
This is a good thing, but George doesn't want it.
The population of Vladivostok must be replenished, but not in this way.
Distribution and distribution are also different. Serfs were sent to Siberia to work as coolies. Zhilinsky was an aristocratic officer. After he was assigned to Siberia, he would probably still be an officer. This was the privilege of the nobility.
George didn’t want to cause trouble for himself.
"Hahahaha, George, the legion commander is here to help." The cousin laughed evilly, showing no trace of the ferocity and cruelty just now.
"George, you can ask him to show you the door." The future governor was cheerful and did not take Zhilinsky seriously at all.
“Let a person like this watch the door, it’s better to have a dog, hahahaha——” The cousin laughed heartily, completely unaware of Zhilinsky’s malicious eyes.
“Let’s discuss how to deal with the Austrians——” Brusinov didn’t want to waste energy on unnecessary people and things.
"What's there to discuss? Just call back and let the Austrians know how good we are!" The cousin was simple and rude, hoping to get more opportunities to perform.
"Company 4 can take the lead!" Nicholas tried hard to fight for opportunities for George.
Even if the 4th company gets a chance, Nikolai, the company commander, can only stay in a safe place. He will never be able to charge into battle in his life.
Although George knew that there was little hope, he could not help but fantasize about what if there was a chance~~
So he did not notice Zhilinsky sneaking away.
"Our actions may damage the relationship with the Austro-Hungarian Empire, so we need to report to His Majesty." Brusinov took the overall situation into consideration and did not act as recklessly as the grand dukes.
"Leave this task to me!~" Nicholas volunteered out of habit, and George covered his face.
"If it is His Highness, then there will be no problem~~" The smile on Brusinov's face was the same as Milyutin's, like a fox who succeeded in stealing a chicken.
"Nikki, thank you for the hard work." The regiment commander realized afterward and looked at Brusinov with a very satisfied look.
“No problem—” Nicholas felt as if something was wrong. Before his brain even started thinking, he agreed smoothly.
George was helpless. Let’s not talk about the ability of this group of people to deal with the Austrians. They were very capable of fooling Nicholas.
But it is true that we are going back to Rivne.
The confrontation between the Austro-Hungarian Empire and the Russian Empire on the border has become increasingly influential and has attracted widespread attention.
As the founder of the Alliance of Three Emperors, Bismarck took a train to Rivne overnight last night, hoping that both sides could exercise restraint.
