Holy Roman Empire

God did not care for the Russians, and time stood by the enemy.When the Russian army reported the news to St. Petersburg, it was already late at night.

Responsible for drafting the teletext officer, is the old official fritters. The previous part is all about the results. The emphasis is on the bravery and good fighting of the Kamen garrison, the fear of sacrifice, and so on.

The bureaucrat on duty had just come down from the reception and was not bothered with his heart. He glanced at the beginning and thought it was a telegram, so he did not turn it back.

The Kamen victory was reported once two days ago, and the celebration banquet was opened.The details of the second report are naturally not so important, just line up directly, there is no need to rush.

It was not until the afternoon of the next day that it was reported to the head of the department, Marshal Ivanov, before discovering what was behind.

It was already too late at this time. Before Marshal Ivanov made a decision, Brest's request for assistance also followed.

The two flashes hit together, and Marshal Ivanov was furious.Time on the battlefield is life. If you receive the news last night, report it immediately. Now the reinforcements have already started.

"Which bastard was on duty last night, and I will kill him!"

Hearing the news, the servant officer panicked and replied: "Yes, Georgi."

Hearing this name, Marshal Ivanov's anger increased a bit: "Which idiot, who arranges this dude on duty, don't you know that this waste has nothing but bad things?"

No way, the related households can't handle it.Although Alexander II had cleared the army, the nepotism could not be completely resolved.

Georgi was born in the nobility, and his father was the current finance minister.

There are many similar examples in the Russian army, and Ivanov usually does not care, as long as these people do not cause trouble.In addition to the individual materials, the remaining people usually arrange some simple work to "exercise".

There is no doubt that receiving the telegram is one of them.The most important requirement for this work is reliability, and the rest is simple. Report it according to the importance of telegrams.

The great aristocrats are undoubtedly reliable. They and the Russian empire are at a loss, and they will not divulge secrets to the enemy.

There are not many things, and it ’s easy to get credit, so it ’s naturally welcomed by everyone.

Seeing no one answering, Ivanov knew that most of this involved big people, and he didn't even ask.A table beat: "Which idiot should get home immediately, I don't want to see him appear in front of me again."

It's not possible to shoot, but it's okay to rush home.In addition to such a big thing, no accountability, Ivanov has been very face-saving.

That is to say, things aren't going on now, and you can handle the cover internally, otherwise Georgi will die.At this critical moment, Alexander II would never mind killing chickens and monkeys.

The servant officer replied anxiously: "Yes, Marshal."

If someone looked closer, the sweat on his forehead had shed and his heartbeat was accelerating.

No way, mortals are the first victims of the fairy fight.Many things can't stand the investigation. Once you're serious, it's a bloody storm.

Marshal Ivanov still has a big picture, knowing that this is the critical moment, and there can be no problems within the government.Things can only be reduced to small ones.

As for the telegram, it would only sink into the sea, as if it had never been received.

...

Of course, the general view of Lieutenant General Olivier Thornfield is still useful. When reporting to the headquarters, it also generated electricity to remind Brest's defenders.

The above bureaucracy can be taken lightly. No one on the front line dared to neglect. Even if the news was received in the middle of the night, the defenders responded immediately.

It is a pity that the time is still too short. It is too late to adjust the strategic deployment, and preparation can only strengthen the alert to ensure that it is not attacked by sneak.

From the beginning of the division of the general army, the Brest garrison was prepared, but it was only the general army of a division. The current enemy doubled, and the original preparation was naturally not enough.

The Battle of Brest broke out in an all-round way, the general army launched an offensive at all costs, and the Russian army also fought bloody.Airships, artillery and machine guns flooded the entire battlefield.

The cruelty of modern wars has left people dumbfounded.Looking at the pictures from the front, Franz was also shocked.Human life becomes worthless at this moment.

Vienna Palace, Chief of General Staff Albrecht: "Your Majesty, judging from the current situation, the Russians will be unlucky.

The actions of the general army have disrupted the deployment of the Russians, and the strategic line of defense that the Tsarist government has painstakingly managed has now seen obvious loopholes.

Brest was attacked on both sides by the generals, and no one knew whether the defenders could withstand it. The tsarist government could not afford this risk.

The time of Mao Qixuan was very good. The inland areas of the Russian Empire have entered winter, and the temperature in many places is already below ten degrees below zero.

In this bad climate, it was too late to dispatch troops from the rear to reinforce Brest.

In terms of time, it is the fastest to dispatch troops from both wings.The Ukrainian region has not yet entered the winter, and it takes only three to five days to reinforce Brest.

Only in this way, the strength of the two wings will become weak.No one can guarantee that the general army will not reapply, and a bunch of cannon fodder will attract attention, and the main force has shifted.

Now the Russians should have a headache, no matter how they choose, they are taking risks.Once the wrong choice is made, the Southwest battlefield will collapse across the board."

collapse?

Franz shook his head: "It's not that serious. It's November now. Even if the generals captured Brest, there was no time to continue to expand the results.

If it was really urgent, Alexander II could still fight against the generals.Directly ignoring the threat from the Southwest, concentrated forces from the coast to attack East Prussia.

Even if the entire Ukraine is lost, the Russian Empire is still the Russian Empire.The territory of the Popo Federation is only as big as the Berlin government loses even if a Russian army is killed to destroy it."

No matter how rubbish the Russian Navy is, it is a little stronger than the Pupo Federation.In the last war, it was possible to attack the coast of the Commonwealth of Popo. If it was not because of logistical failure to keep up, the result of the war would have been reversed long ago.

learn from mistakes.

This time the tsarist government had hoarded a lot of supplies in St. Petersburg. It did not attack the coast of the Federal Republic of Popo. More often, the Berlin government had already prepared and deployed a large number of shore guns.

This is a small problem, as long as you are willing to suffer casualties, you can always log in successfully.

Of course, the premise is that the British and French will not pull off, otherwise the Russian Navy will not be able to complete its mission.

Frederick suggested: "In fact, the Russians have another option. After the victory of Kamen, the defensive pressure of the local defenders was greatly reduced.

If the Tsarist government dared to take risks, it could directly order local troops to raid Warsaw regardless of the situation.

Whether they can succeed or not, they can disrupt the deployment of the general army and keep them busy for a while.If it succeeds, it will make a big profit."

Franz shook his head. He had always hated this gambling tactic.Success is good, but what if it fails?

"Albrecht, explain to him!"

Franz knew that his strategy was okay. The tactics really couldn't stand the test. He didn't choose to play, but let the professionals play.

Albrecht nodded characteristically: "Your Highness, before implementing this plan, you have to figure out what the Russian army guarding Kamen is.

Don't look at their good record, think they have a strong fighting ability, in fact, there is too much water in it.

According to our information, half of the Kamen garrison are newly recruited recruits. It is okay for them to defend and fight well. Once they encounter a hard fight, they will collapse immediately.

If they are to sneak into Warsaw, I am afraid that they have not yet reached the battlefield, and more than one-tenth of the people who have fallen behind in the emergency march.

Putting aside these internal factors, even if these Russian troops are elite, the general army will not intercept halfway, they will not complete this task.

The people of Warsaw alone can let them return.The Poles hated them so much that such a lone army without support could not get out once they entered."

Frederick's face turned red, and he couldn't hold his face.No such simple problem was found, which severely damaged his self-confidence.

Franz smiled slightly, which in his opinion was a good thing.Perhaps it was more contact with the staff of the staff, and Frederick has been overconfident recently.

As a crown prince, it's enough to learn the strategic layout. Going to study military command, isn't your brain flooding?

...

Kamen, Russian Army Command

Chief of Staff Larson: "My Excellency Commander, the headquarters called and ordered us to immediately pull the two regiments to reinforce Brest."

Lieutenant General Olivier Thornfield's face changed drastically, looking at the map and frowning: "The light is drawn from us. Ask if you are only drawing troops from us, or are all regions drawing troops."

Chief of Staff Larson: "I have already asked this question, including us, the nearby troops have been mobilized.

However, there are not many mobilizations. We should have the most mobilized troops on our side.It may be that considering that we have just won a big victory, no war will break out in the short term."

Olivier hesitated and felt something was wrong, he couldn't tell where the problem was.

"In this case, execute the order! By the way, try to find a way to go with the surrounding troops as much as possible. It is too dangerous to send two separate regiments."

Cautiousness is Olivier ’s greatest strength. This is the lesson learned from the last Russian-Russian war.Under this guiding ideology, Olivier is often in a daze.

No big wins and no big defeats. It can be said that a general with a very stable output is very reassuring.

...

Brest frontline general headquarters, Mao Qi directly occupied the war room.

A middle-aged officer whispered: "Marshal, the Russians moved."

Mao Qi stood up and hurried to the sand table, commanding: "Hans, turn the direction of the Russian army and mark it for me."

"Yes!"

Having finished speaking, the middle-aged military officer acted quickly and completed the task very professionally.

Mao Qi smiled happily: "Okay. Well, we have won half of this battle. How much success we can achieve this time depends on whether the Russians are generous enough.

Tell DeMarcia that the Russians are hooked, and he can bear as much as he can.

Order the seventh division and eleventh division to strengthen the offensive.From now on, Brest was attacked day and night, making the Russians exhausted.

The 13th and 25th divisions were ordered to prepare for battle, and it was up to them to capture Warren."

As a military strategist who is good at outside combat, Mao Qi's least favorite is to fight tough battles. If the Russians stick to the spot, the two sides fight for strength, and there is no room for him to do everything he can.

Now that the Russians are moving, the situation has changed.In the field, the Russian army must deal with it better than the Russian army in the fortress.

Although the general army paid a heavy price in the early battle, as long as it can mobilize the Russian army and break the deadlock on the southwestern battlefield, everything is worthwhile.
