"I really didn't think that in 2 years a country that even Napoleon the Great could do could collapse like this. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info It turns out that victory is not far from us. Princess Mary said with a smile.

"Hehe, although I hate the Russians and the Tsar, I have to say that all the countries are not ready to fight a war that lasts for 2 years, right? And I am sure that Austria-Hungary would be in an even worse position if it had relied only on its own forces, and even the first wave of attacks from the Russians would not have been able to withstand it! At the same time as Russia collapsed, Austria-Hungary was probably not spared. The old man said mercilessly.

"Huh." The princess smiled slightly, and said no more.

"This is still too long, I need a better way to defeat Russia as soon as possible! Within one and a half years, I will largely resolve the issue of the Eastern Front. The prince thought for a moment and said.

According to my estimates, your country's troops on the eastern front can barely hold their borders, and Austria-Hungary can't even defend its own door, once the other side invades East Prussia and Silesia, it can obtain supplies there, and affect the mobilization of the two countries. And when the main German forces turned around and expelled the Russian army together with Austria-Hungary, it was not only a waste of troops and resources, but also more time. The old man shook his head and said, not optimistic about the prince's thoughts.

He was right, after the outbreak of World War 1, the Austro-Hungarian army was the first to crush. German East Prussia was also breached, and even in 1915, Russia occupied part of Austria-Hungary, and in general the Russian army began to have a high combat effectiveness, and the two sides fought in Poland for a long time. The prince's evaluation of the veteran has improved a lot.

"In my opinion, if you want to speed up the process of Russia's collapse, then you must first do two things, the first point, Russia's attack on Austria-Hungary must be stopped, not to ask Austria-Hungary to be able to repel the opponent, but at least to achieve equal battle losses, and even in this case, you will suffer, Austria-Hungary lost 300,000 troops, it is difficult to complete the replenishment, and it is easy for Russia to replenish 300,000 troops!"

"Second, there must be a breakthrough in the German direction! Inflict heavy losses on the Russian army faced by the German army, and even destroy a Russian army group in formation! Only then would the Russians have a gap on the battlefield on the Eastern Front, a gap that would not be bridged even if they went on the defensive, paving the way for a series of subsequent large-scale offensives by the Allies on the Eastern Front. Unable to do these two things, it will be very difficult to shorten the course of the war, not because Germany is not strong, but because Austria-Hungary is too weak. At this time, the old man still did not forget to make a sarcasm about the weakness of Austria-Hungary.

"Your tactical thinking seems to be still stuck in the defensive counterattack, in the opponent's attack, find the opponent's weaknesses and loopholes, and then take the opportunity to hit hard, before the opponent turns to the defense, as much as possible to weaken the opponent, and finally through continuous positional warfare, like a grinding disc to consume the opponent little by little, right?" The prince asked.

"Is there any other tactic now? Warfare is now more solidified than in the days of Napoleon, the role of tactics is becoming more and more weak under the fire of volcanic eruptions, the troops are moving more and more slowly, and the losing side can rely on the position to retreat one by one, and then build a new line of defense, while the attacking side cannot advance quickly. You can only wear down your opponent little by little. ”

"And what I said at the beginning is that the breakthrough of the German army on the Eastern Front is also conditional, if in terms of the battlefield of the moving front, Russia actually has two fronts, one is the Eastern Front opposite Germany, and the other is the southern front with Austria-Hungary, at the beginning their front is relatively long, dispersed forces, and if the other side cedes part of the Polish area and flattens the front, the situation will be very difficult, because the density of troops and firepower on the Russian side will be very high. It will be difficult to encircle and destroy the opponent on a large scale. The old man said.

The old man's meaning is very clear, the attacking troops will definitely have problems with continuous advance for a long time, on the one hand, because the supply line of the attacking side will be longer and longer, and the stamina is insufficient, and on the other hand, the front is constantly expanding, and there will definitely be loopholes between the troops, at the beginning of the first war, both the German army on the Western Front and the Russian army on the Eastern Front have made mistakes, the only difference is that the German army is of higher quality, and after it begins to be beaten, it can quickly retreat for a period of time to reorganize the defensive line. And the Russian army did not succeed, and then caused the defeat of Tannenberg .......

"If I had a regiment that marched 80 kilometers in a day and night on gravel roads, it would not be difficult to realize the plan you said at the beginning." The prince said with a smile.

"Your Highness, if you really have such a legion, then you will finally take the Emperor's crown!" The old man was stunned for a moment, and then smiled. Just kidding.

"Well, you've been a great help to us so far, so I'd like to ask, what do you want in return?" The prince didn't dwell too much on this issue either, after all, it involved his own hole cards. The other party can't help themselves in vain, they always need something in return, right?

"It is impossible for Germany to occupy Ukraine, because you simply cannot accommodate the impact of the annexation of 30 million Ukrainians and Russians! It would be nice if you could bring the Baltic coast, Belarus and part of the Russian territory under your control. And I think that the prince does not mind looking for a partner in Ukraine, right? The old man said with a smile.

"It's like this, we need Ukrainian grain. 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 it is clear that you cannot be friends with Russia. The prince said.

"But we have a lot of 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 stronger Prussia, won't our efforts be in vain? The prince asked rhetorically.

"As long as you're strong enough, and I think the Bavarians are ready to salvage the war that will sweep Europe in the future, right? When the opportunity comes, you won't fail to grasp it, will you? And you have a way to make us friends forever, don't you? The old man said calmly.

"It's too early to tell, but in return for your help, the items you and the Countess need will be allocated on time. We may not have a lot of time. Need to do it quickly. The prince looked at Princess Mary, who had a strange face next to him, and said.
