The Rise of the Empire

"I really didn't expect that in two years, a country that even Napoleon was helpless would collapse like this. It turns out that victory is not far away from us." Princess Mary said with a smile. \u003c/p\u003e "Hehe, although I hate the Russians and the tsar, I have to say that all countries are not ready to fight a war that lasts for 2 years, right? And I can be sure that if only If it relies on its own strength, the situation of the Austro-Hungarian Empire will be even worse, and even the first wave of Russian attacks cannot withstand it! When Russia collapses, the Austro-Hungarian Empire may not be spared." The old man said mercilessly. \u003c/p\u003e "Hehe." The princess gave a slight smile and said nothing more. \u003c/p\u003e"This time is still too long. I need a better way to defeat Russia as soon as possible! Within one and a half years, I will basically solve the Eastern Front issue." The prince thought for a while and said. \u003c/p\u003e"I'm afraid it will be difficult. Your country's strategic focus is on the western front, and the eastern front must be defended. According to my calculations, it would be good if your country's troops on the eastern front can barely defend its borders. The Austro-Hungarian Empire couldn't even defend its own home. Once the other party invaded East Prussia and Silesia, they could obtain the supplies there and affect the mobilization of the two countries. And when the main force of Germany turned around, they together with Austria-Hungary When the Russian army was expelled, it was a waste of not only troops and resources, but also more time." The old man shook his head and said, not optimistic about the prince's thoughts. \u003c/p\u003e"He was right. After the outbreak of World War I, the Austro-Hungarian Army was the first to be defeated. East Prussia in Germany was also broken. Even in 1915, Russia still occupied parts of Austria-Hungary. It is said that the combat effectiveness of the Russian army is still very high at the beginning, and the two sides have been fighting in Poland for n long time." The prince's evaluation of the veteran has improved a lot. \u003c/p\u003e "In my opinion, if you want to speed up the process of Russia's collapse, you must first do two things. Opponents, but at least the battle losses must be equal, and even in this case, you will suffer, Austria-Hungary lost 300,000 troops, it is difficult to complete the replenishment, and Russia's replenishment of 300,000 troops is easy!"\u003c/p\u003e" Second, a breakthrough must be made in the direction of Germany! Part of the Russian army facing the German army will be severely damaged, and even a Russian army group will be destroyed in an organized way! Only in this way will there be a gap for the Russians on the battlefield on the Eastern Front. The gap that could not be bridged even if it entered the defense, paved the way for a series of subsequent large-scale offensives by the Allies on the Eastern Front. Without these two points, it will be very difficult to shorten the war process. It is not that Germany is not strong, but that Austria-Hungary Too weak." At this time, the old man still did not forget to sneer at Austria-Hungary's weakness. \u003c/p\u003e"Your tactical thinking seems to be still on the defensive counterattack. During the opponent's attack, discover the opponent's weaknesses and loopholes, and then take the opportunity to injure the opponent. Before the opponent turns to defense, try to weaken the opponent as much as possible. Finally, through continuous Positional warfare, like a millstone, consumes the opponent bit by bit, is that true?" the prince asked. \u003c/p\u003e"Is there any other tactics now? The current war is more solidified than the Napoleon era. The role of tactics is becoming weaker and weaker under the firepower like a volcanic eruption. One side can rely on the position to retreat one by one, and then establish a new line of defense, while the attacking side cannot advance quickly. It can only kill the opponent a little bit."\u003c/p\u003e "And the breakthrough of the German army on the Eastern Front that I started to say is also conditional Yes, if you look at the dynamic battlefield, Russia actually has two fronts, one is the eastern front facing Germany, and the other is the southern front that is at war with Austria-Hungary. At the beginning, their front was relatively long and their forces were dispersed.

And if the opponent cedes part of the Polish area and levels the front line, the situation will be very difficult, because the Russian side will have a very high density of troops and firepower. It will become very difficult to encircle and wipe out opponents on a large scale. "The old man said.\u003c/p\u003e What the old man meant is very clear. There will definitely be problems when the attacking troops continue to advance for a long time. With continuous expansion, there will definitely be loopholes between the troops. Both the German army on the western front and the Russian army on the eastern front have made mistakes since World War I. The only difference is that the German army is of higher quality. Withdrew a section to reorganize the line of defense. But the Russian army failed to run, and then caused the defeat of Tannenberg...\u003c/p\u003e "If I have an army that advances 80 kilometers on a gravel road day and night If so, then it is not difficult to realize the plan you begin with. "The prince said with a smile.\u003c/p\u003e "Your Highness, if you really have such a legion, then you will eventually be crowned emperor!" "The old man was taken aback for a moment, and then he laughed. He joked.\u003c/p\u003e "Well, you have provided us with a lot of help so far, so I want to ask, what do you want in return? ? "The prince didn't get too entangled in this issue, after all, it involved his own trump card. The other party can't help himself in vain, and they always need something in return?\u003c/p\u003e"It is impossible for Germany to occupy Ukraine, because you simply cannot accommodate 30 million people The impact of the merger of Ukrainians and Russians into the territory! It would be nice if you could bring the Baltic coast, Belarus and parts of Russia under your control. And I think the prince wouldn't mind finding a partner in Ukraine, right? "The old man said with a smile.\u003c/p\u003e"It's like this, we need food from Ukraine. And Ukraine needs the protection of German industrial products and sabers. This in itself is a mutually beneficial thing. Ukraine has only two neighbors and obviously you can't be friends with Russia. "The prince said.\u003c/p\u003e "However, we have many friends in Ukraine, how do you convince us that you are the best and most suitable friend? And we are Bavaria. If one day, you choose a more powerful Prussia, isn't our contribution equal to nothing? "The prince asked back.\u003c/p\u003e "As long as you are strong enough, and I think that in the future war that will sweep across Europe, the Bavarians are probably ready to salvage something, right? When the opportunity comes, you won't miss it, right? And in fact, you also have a way to make us be friends forever, don't you? "The old man still said calmly.\u003c/p\u003e"It's too early to say, but in return for your help, the items you and the countess need will be dispatched on time. We may not have enough time. Need to do it quickly. "The prince looked at Princess Mary, who had a strange expression, and said with a little embarrassment.\u003c/p\u003eThe third one is here~~~!
