Make France Great Again

Chapter 519 The critically ill Saint Arnaud

After the coalition troops walked forward for about 10 minutes, they finally arrived near the Burganak River.

Looking at the endless river in front of them, the hungry and thirsty soldiers from the three countries of Britain, Turkey and Turkey had already forgotten the so-called military discipline. The excited soldiers jumped into the river and let the cool river water soak into their bodies. It even penetrates into the hot and unbearable soul.

The soldiers of the French Empire standing on the shore looked at the soldiers from other countries in the water with envy, and then looked at Marshal Saint-Arnaud who was riding a horse.

"Pass my order, all troops are strictly prohibited from entering the water to play and play! Those who violate the order will have their monthly salary deducted." Marshal Saint-Arnault meticulously issued an order to Trochu and the messenger cavalry beside him.

After receiving the order, the messenger cavalry quickly separated a team and set off backwards to convey Marshal Saint-Arnaud's order to each division.

After that, Saint-Arnaud conveyed the requirements of his team's logistics troops to another team of messenger cavalry beside him. He requested that the logistics troops must go to the upper reaches of the river to fetch water in the future, and they must also ensure that The water provided to the French Imperial Army was always boiled water.

The cavalrymen who heard the request also left Marshal Saint Arnaud's side, and now he was the only one left beside Saint Arnaud.

Just when Saint-Arnault was about to turn over and dismount, a sharp pain came from Marshal Saint-Arnault's abdomen. The pain made Marshal Saint-Arnault have to lie on the horse, and his legs could not help but The clamp tightened the horse's belly.

"Marshal Saint-Arnaud, are you...are you okay?" Commander Raglan's concerned voice reached Marshal Saint-Arnaud's ears.

"I...it's okay," Marshal Saint-Arnaud responded to Commander Raglan with difficulty, and then he accidentally fell off his horse.

The sudden turn of events shocked everyone present. Commander Raglan quickly dismounted his horse, handed the bridle to the Duke of Cambridge, then came to the side of Marshal St. Arnaud, helped him up and shouted. He shouted: "Doctor, go and call the doctor!"

The surrounding cavalry hurriedly took action after hearing Commander Raglan's order. Not long after, doctors from the British and French armies arrived one after another, accompanied by the commanders of the 1st, 23rd and 3rd divisions. After hearing the news that Marshal Arnault was critically ill, he hurriedly handed over the work at hand to his chief of staff and rushed over.

The British and French military doctors carefully examined the body of Marshal Saint-Arnaud, then stood up and remained silent.

"Marshal, what disease does he have? Tell me something!" General Pellissier, the commander of the Guards Division with a slightly impatient personality, asked Marshal Saint-Arnault loudly.

"Please forgive me for my poor medical skills!" The French military doctor first apologized to the generals present, and then reported truthfully: "I did not find any external trauma on the marshal's body. There is a high probability that it is a condition that occurred inside the marshal's body!"

"I don't care whether you are inside or outside your body, but you must save the Marshal for me!" General Canrobert, the commander of the First Division, said with emotion and reason: "Marshal Saint-Arnaud is not just the French Empire. The commander is also the commander of the entire coalition forces, and his safety is related to every member of the coalition forces!"

"Canrobert is right!" Commander Raglan also nodded in agreement with what Marshal Saint-Arnaud said. It is not easy to have a French Allied Commander who always thinks about Britain.

Since the British soldiers arrived in Varna, Marshal St. Arnaud has been accommodating the British kingdom. If we change the commander, I don’t know if the next commander can be as accommodating to the British Army as Marshal St. Arnaud.

Furthermore, Commander Raglan has been working with Marshal Saint-Arnaud for a long time. The two finally reached a consensus during the constant running-in. Raglan does not want to waste any more time arguing with the next French Commander-in-Chief. Break-in.

Of course, if Marshal Saint-Arnaud himself was terminally ill, there was nothing Commander Raglan could do.

Thinking of this, Commander Raglan looked at the British doctor Thomas: "Thomas, tell me honestly what's going on with Marshal St. Arnaud?"

"Commander, I don't know for sure!" Dr. Thomas shook his head and said to Commander Raglan, and then added: "However, I still recommend that you prepare for the worst case scenario! I once saw a case similar to that of Marshal Saint-Arnaud, and the patient also suffered from pain for no reason!"

"Then! What method did they use to overcome it!" Brigadier General Trochu asked Army Doctor Thomas impatiently.

While recalling the patient's condition he saw in the British Peninsula, Thomas told the commanders and generals present: "At the beginning, the patient's pain was not too painful, so he drank to relieve the pain all day long.

After a few months, the patient's condition began to worsen and he began to moan incessantly. In order to relieve the patient's pain, I specially prepared "opium" for the patient. After taking a tube of "opium", the patient stopped moaning. However, the effect of "Aphron" has a time limit after all. After the hallucinogenic effect passed, the patient began to moan again. Since the patient has already experienced the pain-relieving effect of "Afurong", after the patient falls into pain again, he will crave "Afurong" even more than the first time.

As time goes by, the efficacy of "Afurong" becomes worse and worse, and more and more doses are required.

At that stage, the patient's body will immediately lose weight, and the pain will make them unable to eat any food anymore, and they will think of smoking "Aphron" to numb themselves every minute and every second.

Eventually, the patient dies from the pain. "

When Dr. Thomas finished telling the patient's story, the three major generals and a brigadier general who greeted him glared at him. Among them, Brigadier General Trochu had the most violent reaction of all: "You fart! You quack, believe it or not." I'll kill you with a gun!"

After speaking, Brigadier General Trochu took out the revolver in his waist and pointed it at Dr. Thomas.

"Calm down!" Canrobert on the side quickly grabbed Brigadier General Trochu's revolver and said to him.

"But, he..." Brigadier General Trochu pointed at Dr. Thomas.

"Brigadier General Trochu, this is just something I have experienced! If you don't want to believe it, then there is nothing I can do!" Dr. Thomas did not show any fear on his face.

"Doctor Thomas, please forgive Brigadier General Trochu's rudeness! Do you mean that we can only rely on "Aphrodisiac" to maintain the life of the Marshal?" Canrobel asked Dr. Thomas with a sincere face.

Dr. Thomas shook his head and responded to Canrobert: "I don't know what stage the Marshal is at. Maybe the Marshal is still in the early stages!"

"Thank you!" Conrobel expressed his thanks to Dr. Thomas, and then suggested to Commander Raglan: "Commander Raglan, I think we may have to live here for a while!"

"Hey!" Commander Raglan sighed: "That's all we can do!"

Due to the physical problems of Marshal Saint-Arnaud, the allied forces of Britain, France, Turkey, and France had to station themselves on the river bank.

Under the orders of the commanders of the four countries, camps were dotted on the north bank of the Burganak River. The commanders of the four countries of Britain, France, and Turkey gathered in a tent that was somewhat similar to a yurt.

After the commanders of the four countries in the camp were silent for a moment, Raglan, the commander of the British Expeditionary Force, said: "An unfortunate thing just happened. Our ally, Marshal Saint-Arnaud, commander-in-chief of the French Empire, suddenly fell from his horse. Now He is still in a coma, please let us pray for Saint Arnaud’s health first.”

After saying that, Commander Raglan closed his eyes and prayed to God that Saint Arnaud would recover as soon as possible.

Everyone also prayed to God (although Omar was forced to believe in it, he was still an Orthodox Christian at heart).

After the prayer, Commander Raglan asked Canrobert again who was in charge of their French army.

"After discussions between our three division commanders, two regiment commanders and the chiefs of staff, it was decided to let General Pellissier, the commander of the Guards Division, temporarily act as the commander of the French Imperial Expeditionary Force!" Canrobert's answer surprised everyone present. Anticipate.

In their view, Major General Canrobert, who was in charge of the First Division, was the most likely person to succeed Marshal Saint-Arnaud.

Because although the first division controlled by Canrobert was not called a Guards Division, it was actually a Guards Army.

If the First Division had not launched a military coup against Paris, the French Empire would not have entered the stage of history.

Not to mention, Canrobert himself was Jérôme Bonaparte's confidant and accompanied him all the way to the throne. It was reasonable for him to take over the position of Marshal Saint-Arnaud. matter.

However, what they did not expect was that Canrobert actually gave up taking over the position of Saint-Arnaud and instead supported Pellisier.

"General Pelissier... no, Commander Pelissier!" Commander Raglan said quickly after reacting.

"Commander Pelissier!" Minister La Maramore and Omar Pasha also echoed.

In this way, Pellissier, who was the commander of the Guards Division, temporarily took over the position of Marshal Saint-Arnaud and became the interim commander of France while being the single-person Guards Division commander.

Subsequently, the four commanders discussed the problems faced by the coalition forces.

It was finally decided that the large force would temporarily stop at the Bulgarnak River, and then the light cavalry troops would be sent to the south bank of the Bulgarnak River to survey.

The cavalry units sent out included a regiment of Bashbozuk cavalry and a regiment of British light cavalry.
