Holy Roman Empire

After the news of the Warsaw battle spread, the Russian military headquarters was dismal.The great situation in the Warsaw region was completely lost. The tsarist government advocated abandoning the north-south battle, and the call for reinforcement of Warsaw was increasing.

On the day of receiving the battle report, Ivanov returned to St. Petersburg by train and had a close talk with Alexander II overnight.

No one knows the specific content. In short, the storm inside Russia was suppressed by Alexander II.

Straightened out the internal disputes, Marshal Ivanov's eyes returned to the battlefield again, looked at the casualty data in his hand, and sighed deeply.

"Order the Fourth Army to retreat, now they don't need them to stay there."

There may be good intentions, but there is no need for more.Originally, Ivanov also expected the Fourth Army to hold down the main force of the general army and give the Russian army time.

Now the Fifth Army has been dismembered and the Seventh Army has suffered heavy losses. Even if the Third Army and the Sixth Army arrived, the Russian Army also lost the ability to encircle and destroy the main force of the General Army.

At this point, the Fourth Army has no need to sacrifice.Even if they were unhappy, Ivanov had to consider the political impact of the annihilation of the Fourth Army.

The middle-aged officer reminded: "Marshal, according to information from the front, the Fourth Army has lost its main force. General Opodo has only less than 30,000 troops left in his hands. I am afraid that he would break out ..."

Ivanov didn't have a good air: "I'm afraid there are not so many! The main force of the general army is in Warsaw, and the enemy's total strength is so much. Mao Qi is not God, and he can't become an army.

Most of the encirclement of the Fourth Army is like goods, and even Opoto ’s stupid did not find that the main force of the enemy left. If you change a person, the current situation will not be so bad."

Throw the pot!

If you lose the battle, you need someone to take responsibility.The high-ranking forces of the Fifth Army and the Seventh Army are definitely not going to run away as parties.

Now they have not been held accountable and let them continue to command the troops to wear crimes and make meritorious deeds. That is the need of the war. After the war, the tsarist government will still count the merits.

As the commander-in-chief of the Russian army, Marshal Ivanov also needs to take responsibility.At this time, you need to blame the man, Opodo is this bad luck.

Of course, Opodo is not wronged.Had he not acted arbitrarily, disrupting the overall deployment of the Russian army, there would have been no major defeat in Warsaw.

...

Since the Warsaw battle began, Franz has been paying close attention.I have to admit that this battle, the general army played very beautifully, and took the speed to the extreme.

In contrast, the performance of the Russian army is much worse.Especially in terms of cooperation, the Fifth Army was under siege by the general army, and the Seventh Army failed to rescue in time, and the Fifth Army was finished without waiting for their response.

If the Russians responded faster, or if they were more vigilant, the Fifth and Seventh Army could cooperate closely and provide reinforcements in time, and the general army would not be so simple to win.

Chief of Staff Albrecht: "Your Majesty, the Russo-Prussian War is coming to an end. If no miracle is born, the defeat of the Pupo Federation will be a foregone conclusion."

This conclusion surprised Franz.To know that before the Warsaw Battle, the General Staff ’s conclusion was that Russia ’s odds of winning were 28-80. Now that the Generals have won the Warsaw Battle, instead of increasing the odds, it has decreased.

Franz asked in doubt: "Why? The generals won the Warsaw battle, they should increase their odds, how can they ..."

Albrecht explained: "From a tactical point of view, the Warsaw General War won very beautifully, and in one fell swoop reversed the unfavorable situation in Warsaw.

However, the strategy is different. After the war in Warsaw, the Russian army lost its strength advantage in Warsaw. Next, the third and sixth Russian troops must be cautious and cautious.

It is almost impossible for the general army to find opportunities to annihilate the remaining Russian troops.In the style of Ivanov, most of the Russian army will not take the initiative to attack, but will hang the general army from afar.

The Russian Third Army, Sixth Army and the previous 7th and 5th Army remnants have a total strength of 600,000.If you want to defeat them, you can't do it overnight.

In the previous battle, the general army was not without losses, and the military strength in Mao Qi ’s hands was probably comparable to that of the Russian army.It is also very difficult to divide troops to reinforce other battlefields.

Once the general army divided its troops, these Russian troops would immediately rush to seize the Warsaw region.

Mao Qi didn't dare to give up the Warsaw region. If he lost Warsaw, he would lose Poland.Neither the political influence nor the military influence can be tolerated by the Berlin government.

Before the war, the General Staff judged the two-point victory of the Pupo Federation. That was based on the premise that the Warsaw Battle and the Generals won. Mao Qi must kill the Russian Third Army and the Sixth Army.

Under normal circumstances, this is almost impossible.Mao Qi should have realized that he was not sure, so he would start in advance and not give the Russians time to gather troops."

From a military perspective, Mao Qi's approach is definitely correct.When the Russian army is assembled, even if they come to the door, they will not be able to eat, and it is undoubtedly the most correct choice to start first.

The correct choice does not mean the final victory. The gap in strength cannot be compensated by individuals.

If you are only thinking about military affairs, now give up the Warsaw area, first get rid of the Russian troops on the southern front, and then return to the decisive battle is the best choice.

In fact, this simply cannot be done.There are also a large number of Polish soldiers in the general army. Mao Qi dared to abandon Warsaw without a fight, and the Polish soldiers are about to change.

Chancellor of the Exchequer Karl questioned: "I am afraid this may not be necessary! The Pupo Federation has been fully mobilized. Many retired veterans have returned to the army, and the students of the military school have graduated early and entered the army.

These new troops are not well trained and their combat effectiveness is worrying, but they are always used to defend the city and delay time."

Albrecht nodded characteristically: "Berlin may be able to hold it, but Poznan can't hold it. At this stage of the war, the Poles are unreliable.

In East Prussia, the Russians had trouble with the navy, and the generals had no chance of winning. Failure is only a matter of time.

The Pupo Federation cannot afford to lose. No matter where it is broken by the Russians, the general army in Warsaw will become a lone army."

The heart is the most complicated, and loyalty is also valuable.

People are more willing to believe what they see than what the government says.The Russians are on the verge of war, and the government says that persistence is a victory. Who will believe it?

It took only a few years for the Pupo Federation to be established, and the national loyalty was simply too late to cultivate.People are disturbed, and that is "the same forest bird", and it is difficult to fly separately.

It has not been a day or two since the Tsarist government ruled the Polish region, nor is there a complete foundation on the ground. It is normal for capitalists and nobles to secretly engage with the Russians for their own benefit.

...

After a little thought, Franz made the decision: "Now that the big picture is set, let us not interfere. Let the Immigration Department prepare for the new wave of immigration.

This immigration is extraordinary. There are a large number of retired soldiers in it. We must do a good job of screening and not let extremists mix in."

No way, this year the European ideological community is a mess, all kinds of ideas are rampant, and more than 80% of them are utopianism.

Especially in war-torn areas, it is also the place where all kinds of extremist ideas are prone.Austria ’s absorption of immigrants was to develop the colonial economy, but not to experiment with new ideas.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"
