:46:01
with nothing more than
a destroyed storehouse...
:46:03
a widely desolated land.
:46:14
Looting, burning.
:46:16
As soon as Napoleon
approaches a village...
:46:18
the peasants and serfs run off with
their carts and horses and grain.
:46:22
What they can't take away with them,
they burn or slaughter.
:46:25
If we don't put a stop
to it somewhere...
:46:28
we're going to leave
behind us a desert...
:46:30
a scorched earth.
:46:32
We must fight.
:46:34
The army demands it,
the tsar demands it...
:46:37
and the people demand it.
:46:43
What does the army want...
:46:46
to be destroyed?
:46:48
Because that will be
what would happen if we fought now.
:46:52
What does the tsar want...
to be brought to his knees?
:46:56
Because that would be
what would happen if we fought now.
:46:59
What do the people want...
:47:02
to be the subjects of Napoleon?
:47:04
Because that would be
what would happen if we fought now.
:47:10
Gentlemen,
I've been put in command...
:47:13
to give the army,
the tsar and the people...
:47:16
what they really want.
:47:18
And what they really want
is to drive the last Frenchman...
:47:21
from the soil of Russia!
:47:25
And that I propose to do
when I can.
:47:29
But the looting
and the burning, General.
:47:31
Let it continue!
:47:34
Let it increase!
:47:51
- Soon they will be at our gates!
- He will not enter Moscow!
:47:53
We will stop it!
