Holy Roman Empire

With the end of Andhuy's offensive and defensive war, the Russian army finally gained a foothold in the Afghan region and took a temporary lead.

The news reached Vienna, it was half a month later.Franz, who is paying close attention to the war in Afghanistan, is now staring at the map research of Central Asia.

He admits that the landscape of Andhu is very good. Every valley is a scenic spot, with snow mountains on the top, green fields on the bottom, waterfalls in the distance, and fruit trees in the distance.

But the Russians have fought a long way, and it is impossible to see the scenery in order to go to Andhuj?

In addition to the beautiful scenery, the local natural conditions are also relatively favorable, which is considered to be a rich place in Afghanistan.

As for strategic value, Frank said frankly that it doesn't think how important it is here.

From a strategic point of view, whether the Russians seized the western Herat region or the Wakhan Corridor to the east, they are more valuable than the Andhui region.

In particular, the Wakhan Corridor, across which is British India.

As a qualified melon eater, the most important thing is to have a curiosity, and Franz is no exception.

I ca n’t see the real purpose of the Russians because of my limited military level, so I can find someone who can see it, and Austria can raise a large group of staff, and it should be a temporary assessment.

At the Vienna Palace, Franz temporarily summoned several rising stars of the Austrian General Staff.

"The Anglo-Russian war has been erupting for nearly a month. The Russians who were the first to do so, did not mobilize heavy troops to seize the strategic points of the Herat and Wakhan corridors, but instead captured Andhuy. You think the real purpose of the Russian commander what?"

This is a proposition that has no answer. It tests the brain hole.It ’s not only rational analysis, but even guessing.

In Franz's opinion, this question is suitable for those with better luck.

After all, the final result is likely to be very different from the original plan of the Russian commander.No rational analysis can resist the ever-changing situation on the battlefield.

For soldiers, luck is also very important.Although it's a bit superstitious, sometimes it doesn't work if you don't believe it.

In addition to the personal ability, the element of luck is also very important for a general who can be killed off the battlefield.

The guys with bad luck all fell down halfway, knowing this by flipping through the Austrian military school records.

The military academy students who rank in the top of the list each year are not bad in their personal abilities, but only a few can be mixed up.

The rest are all bad luck, for example: I took the lunch box on the battlefield, retired from the injury during training, and suddenly made mistakes when I was promoted ...

"Your Majesty, Andhuy may have just used a shot of the Russian army to confuse the British.

Although the direction of the Russian army's attack is uncertain, their ultimate strategic goal is clear, no matter what they do is around the capture of the Afghan region.

I think Russia's next step should be Herat. The British have deployed heavy soldiers on the ground, and the loss of the attack is too great.

Perhaps the Russian military commander wanted to break the routine and pick an unexpected offensive line, for example: to learn the Mongolian people's big detours.

Forcibly borrowed from Persia, interspersed behind Herat, cut off the defender's back, and then carried out siege."

Colonel Dank ’s plan was not feasible. Without local details, Franz could n’t draw conclusions, but this brain hole is worth affirming first.

Countless classic battles from ancient times to the present day, all rely on the brain holes that ordinary people cannot imagine, plus the most important luck.

It is almost impossible to replicate this success.The same is true of the big roundabout outsourcing tactics. The success of the Mongols does not mean that the Russians can follow suit.

In case the Persian head ironed once, and did not cooperate with the Russians' actions, they sent troops to intercept the Russian army's borrowing, and then have fun.

No comments were made. Franz just smiled at Colonel Dank, and then told the attendant next to him: "Record first, do you still have different views?"

As Austria's largest brain-burdened department, when there was never a unified opinion, Franz's words just landed, and another officer spoke.

"Your Majesty, I think the commander of the Russian army is simply to occupy Andhuj, and has no other purpose.

From the analysis of the geographical conditions of Afghanistan, the only areas with relatively good natural conditions and relatively fertile land are the Andhúy and Herat areas, and the other areas are relatively barren.

The Russian army is now under the banner of liberating the Afghan region, and the relationship with the Afghans is temporarily good. Once the two regions are occupied, they can obtain a part of the food from the local area as supplies.

The logistics system of the Russian army is very chaotic. As a front-line commander, it should be clear about the attributes of the bureaucracy in the country.

This war was launched in advance, and the logistics of the front-line troops were not sufficient. If the battlefield advances too fast, there may be problems with the logistics at any time.

For me to be the commander of the Russian army, the first thing to consider is how to solve the logistics problem, at least to ensure that the frontline troops will not be hungry, not how to win.

The British army deployed heavy soldiers in the Herat area, and the Russian army could easily capture only the Andhui area.Occupying the local area can at least solve the problem of eating for tens of thousands of Russian troops.

In this respect, the strategic significance of the Russians' seizure of Andhuy is no less than that of seizing the Wakhan Corridor."

Although it is somewhat unacceptable, Franz believes that it is really possible.After all, Russian bureaucracy is a kind of magical creature, and it has happened countless times to kill frontline combat troops.

Both Britain and Russia are major powers, and the Afghan region has very important strategic significance for both countries. This means that the war will not end in a short time.

If you do n’t think of a way to solve the army ’s problem of eating, if you encounter an emergency, you ’re done.

Perhaps in the eyes of ordinary people, the Andhúyí region can solve the problem of eating tens of thousands of Russian troops at most, but Franz doesn't think so.

If the critical moment is reached, this area can save the lives of Russian troops.After all, the food is not enough, and you can go out and grab the locals.

It is impossible to completely solve the food problem, but there is still hope to raise a monthly ration.

Insufficient strategic materials, it is a big deal to stop the offensive and build fortifications on the spot to reduce consumption.As long as everyone is not hungry, everything else can be said.

As for the issue of offending the Afghans, to that point, it is estimated that no Russian commander will care.

...

The magical brain holes made Franz refresh.If he did not know that these were all guesses, he would have doubted whether the Russian military commander was a famous player in the world, and there were so many ways to capture Andhuy.
