After getting the answer from Gorchakov, Alexander II became even more troubled.
In the following days, Alexander II worked even more diligently on constructing fortifications. Bastions and trenches appeared around the city of Bakhchisaray, turning the entire Bakhchisaray into a hopeful fortress to defend against the attack of the French Empire.
However, this fortress of Bakhchisaray, strengthened by Alexander II, had a fatal flaw compared to the historical Sevastopol Fortress, which was that Bakhchisaray, deep in the interior, could not rely on maritime transport for supplies like Sevastopol could, and could only depend on supplies from within the Russian Empire.
This meant that if the road to Perekop was cut off, all logistics supplies in the Bakhchisaray region would be completely finished.
To prevent the Anglo-French Alliance Army from cutting off the logistics of Bakhchisaray, the best method was for the Russian Empire to possess a troop strong in both combat and mobility.
