Russian Route to Caucasus and Imperial Arrival In Opessa
The Emperor Nicholas and Grand Duke Constantine are expected to visit Opessa with Count Vorenzo preparing the reception. Reports from Teflis claim Caucasian conflicts favor Russia, while private letters in the city argue the opposite. Russian forces suffer losses near Bacon as Tcherkesses seize artillery, and tribes like the Lesghis join insurgents. Persian forces adopt European drill. English instructors train them, and Russian cards bands desert to Persia. The Emperor criticizes General Rosen for slow operations and may replace him with Nikityn or Shakowski.
