As a Russian, how can you not drink alcohol, in Russia, where winter accounts for almost a third of the year, alcohol is a good thing, not only to keep people out of the cold, but also to temporarily let go of all worries.
No, in Potemkin's tent outside the city of Kazakhburg, a group of high-ranking members of the Russian army called a person who borrowed wine to dispel his sorrows, wine was the same as water, and Potemkin who sat on the main seat was no exception.
As for Kutuzov and the others, not to mention, sitting at the bottom, they all stuttered a little when they spoke.
"Meta...
Your Excellency Marshal, reinforcements.....
When will reinforcements arrive?
” Kryvisky, who was a little drunk, asked with a big tongue, he has been having a hard time recently, first the previous battle caused his Latvian army to suffer great casualties, and then in the battle against Kazakhstan, his army repeatedly attacked as the main force, which made the original Latvian army of more than 10,000 people, now there are less than 5,000 people left, how can you make Kryvisky, as the Latvian overseer, embarrassed.
"Yes, Your Excellency Marshal, if the reinforcements don't come again, the weather will get worse and worse soon, and this winter will be all over!"
Ripov also complained to Krevsky that although the casualty rate of his army was still within a suspicious range, as an overseer, a prince of one side, who would want his strength to be consumed in a large amount of meaningless terms.
"yes, yes" "That's right.
Your Excellency Marshal, you are urging reinforcements!
” ............
Everyone saw that there was a picker, and they all complained, everyone knows that the snow has fallen now, which indicates that winter has come, although the climate in Poland is a little better than in Russia, but it is also very cold, if you don't take advantage of the first snow when the climate is not so bad, don't think about any big action this winter.
"Damn, you're all looking for me.
I'm going to ask who, the messenger for help has already been sent, and the Empress replied two days ago that she should send reinforcements as soon as possible, but you don't know how far the journey from St.
Petersburg to here is, and I estimate that in ten days the reinforcements will come, and we should all be glad that the reinforcements will come."
The complaints of his subordinates made Potemkin a little annoyed, and because of the unsmooth war, he was holding back a fire in his heart.
Moreover, the setback under the city of Kazakhburg forced him to send someone back to Catherine II to ask for reinforcements, which seemed to Potemkin to be a shame.
And now someone dares to complain, isn't this going to turn the sky upside down!
Thinking of this, Potemkin scolded: "Look at what you look like, all of you have no fighting spirit, when will the imperial army put all their hopes on reinforcements!
It's all a bunch of idiots."
Potemkin's words were more powerful than sobering pills, and seeing Potemkin's anger, everyone in the tent quieted down, and they didn't dare to make a sound.
After seeing that he had succeeded in shocking the audience, Potemkin turned to say: "Rest assured.
Her Majesty's reinforcements were sent soon, and before that, you all gave my general's heart to stabilize, and if someone made a mistake, I would directly ask for his life!
” After the cruel words were finished, Potemkin waved his hand and motioned for the generals in the tent to leave.
He wanted to be quiet by himself for a while, and when he saw Potemkin's huge fortune, everyone in the tent had no choice but to leave the tent.
In inverse proportion to the inside of the tent, everyone shuddered when they came out of the tent "Damn the weather" After hurriedly putting on the coat handed by the guard.
The generals of the Russian army cursed the weather one after another, and then scattered.
Kutuzov, who left Potemkin's tent, waved his hand to Kulichkov, seeing Kutuzov's actions, Kulichkov nodded secretly, and then gave instructions to his guards, and then followed Kutuzov's footsteps.
"Your Excellency General, do you say that we still have hope of capturing Kazakhstan, but now there is panic in the army!"
Kulichkov asked Kutuzov worriedly "If the reinforcements are in time, we should be able to capture Kazakhstan Fort before the New Year, otherwise, there is no hope for this winter, but now the New Year is only a little more than a week, who knows if we can catch up, hey!"
Kutuzov sighed, obviously he did not have confidence in taking Kazakhstan in winter.
(The New Year mentioned here refers to the Russian New Year, which is nearly two weeks later than the rest of Europe, which is celebrated on the 7th of January of the following year, because the Russian calendar uses a different calendar than the rest of Europe.) ） "By the way, Your Excellency, I think if we change our strategy, maybe it will work wonders!"
Kulichkov's eyes rolled as if he had an idea "Oh, what's your idea?"
"Your Excellency General, we have been under the city of Kazakh Fort for nearly a month, and according to the mouths of those prisoners of war who were captured before, do we know from time to time that the grain and grass in the city of Kazakh Fort can only last for more than a month?"
Kulichkov's words took Kutuzov by surprise "That's right!
You see me, how did I forget such an important thing, but it can't be counted like this, originally the food in the city was enough for 50,000 people to eat for a month, and now we have helped the Poles kill a lot of Dingkou, although Kazakhstan was defended by the Poles, but presumably their casualties are also very large, so the food and grass in the city should be able to hold on."
As he spoke, Kutuzov's initial excitement was gone Indeed, as Kutuzov thought, it was originally said that the grain and grass in the city were enough for 50,000 people to eat for a month, but now the Polish defenders in the city of Kazakhburg are at most more than 10,000 people, so the grain and grass must be barely enough.
"Your Excellency General, you can't count it like this, you have actually entered a misunderstanding, although what you said is right, but there are not only defenders in the city of Kazakh Fort, there are also a lot of civilians in Kazakh Fort, I think these civilians should not have much food and grass."
Kulichkov hurriedly explained when he saw the doubt on Kutuzov's face, and when he heard Kulichkov's words, Kutuzov was even more puzzled "But as far as I know, there are not many civilians in the city of Kazakhstan, before we fought with Poland, Kazakhstan was already in a state of semi-desolation, how can there be many civilians" "Your Excellency General, it is true that there are not many civilians in the city of Kazakhburg, but what if we help them increase some civilians!"
"What do you mean?"
"Your Excellency, we can send our soldiers outside of Kazakhstan Fort to find those villages and towns, and then drive the population there to Kazakhburg, I think our benevolent Polish garrison will take in those refugees, and this will also help us to increase some supplies for the winter."
Kulichkov's gloomy words made Kutuzov shudder a little, Kulichkov said that although there is some truth, but this strategy is really a bit hurtful, if those Polish civilians are driven here on such a cold day, if the Kazakhburg defenders do not accept those civilians, those civilians will only have a dead end!
"Kulichkov, isn't this something inappropriate" Kutuzov hesitated, but his words were interrupted by Kulichkov without hesitation "Your Excellency, everything we are doing now is for the victory of the Empire, and besides, I think it's time for the soldiers to relax and relax" "But most of those regions have now been subordinated to the Empire, and if we do so now, it will inevitably make it more difficult for us to fight in the future."
"Your Excellency, General, have you ever thought about how much supplies our army needs for each day under the city of Kazakh Fort, our soldiers have become a little war-weary because of the unsmooth situation of the war, we can not only soothe the soldiers' mood, but also make the enemy in Kazakh Fort in a dilemma" Kutuzov had nothing to say after Kulickov's words, obviously in any way, if you want to capture Kazakhburg as soon as possible, this method is undoubtedly the best, and it can make the army relax temporarily, and the morale of the soldiers has also been improved, Kutuzov is moved.

"Well, let's go to Marshal Potemkin, and tell Your Excellency the Marshal what you think, and if it really doesn't work, your idea is undoubtedly the most beneficial for the Empire."
With that, Kutuzov took Kulichkov back and returned to Potemkin's tent.
Of course, at the door, the two of them were blocked by Potemkin's guards, and the guards told the two that His Excellency the Marshal was resting, and seeing this, Kutuzov didn't care about the guards' obstruction, he went straight to Potemkin's tent with Kulichkov to break into Potemkin's tent, but the guards at the door couldn't stop him.
"What's going on, who's in front of the loud noise" Potemkin's angry words came out of the tent, and the guards at the door immediately replied: "Your Excellency Marshal, it's General Kutuzov and General Kulichkov, they have something to see you" Hearing that it was Kutuzov who wanted to see him, Potemkin said: "Let them in" Then Kutuzov walked in with Kulichkov.
After that, what the three of them talked about inside was not known to outsiders, but the exciting news that made the Russian soldiers excited quickly spread throughout the barracks.
His Excellency the Marshal considered that during this period of war, the soldiers were under great pressure, so His Excellency the Marshal was merciful and allowed the soldiers to go out to sweep in a battalion after the snow had fallen, of course, what happened in the process of sweeping, His Excellency the Marshal did not care, but there was one rule, that is, not to harm the lives of any Poles and at the same time escort them back to the barracks, and those who violated the order would be dealt with by military law.
So it is the civilians who suffer from the war!
