Felippowitz made a special trip back to Warsaw, of course, not to express pessimism.

Not to mention anything else, just rely on the 13th Cavalry Division under his command in terms of training subjects, second only to the Second Cavalry Division under Major General Suwalki in China. He has the confidence to fight most of the so-called strong armies.

Charge, assault, mounted shooting....... All the training data show that the 13th Cavalry Division is an elite unit!

After everyone turned their eyes to him, Felipovitz smiled slightly, picked up the telescopic rod and stood directly next to the battle diagram by the wall to explain his "trick".

"According to our intelligence, although the Germans were constantly mobilizing troops to the German-Polish border, their troops deployed in East Prussia were not replenished by a single soldier. For now, the Germans had only two small fortress divisions and the only infantry brigade capable of attacking in East Prussia. Then Felippowitz shifted the telescopic lever on his hand to the location of East Prussia on the map and said: "So, this is our breakthrough!" ”

As soon as this remark came out, the audience was in an uproar.

“........ Based on the above judgment, my idea is to concentrate the superior cavalry forces, destroy the main German forces in East Prussia in a short time, and completely pull out this nail in our head, so as to relieve the defensive line that we need to build against the whole of East Prussia, shorten the defensive area, and free up troops. Otherwise, we simply won't have enough troops to defend along the existing fronts. ”

Felippowitz's operational idea was already very clear, first by taking the initiative to get rid of the German army in East Prussia embedded in Poland, to prevent a fire in the backyard. Then concentrate their forces on the west and fight a regular trench battle with the Germans.

In fact, Germany's reason for future war was precisely because of East Prussia, an area to which Felippowitz attached great importance. The Polish government, having rejected Germany's request to connect the "enclave" of East Prussia, in fact left the nail in Poland in disguise. Now, this nail that the Polish government left directly in the body has finally begun to work, putting Poland's military operations at a disadvantage.

Knowing the role of East Prussia in the containment of the Polish defense line, many division commanders nodded their heads after listening to Felippowitz's plan. After all, such a plan is the most effective and secure way to do it at the moment.

Although the idea of taking Berlin by way of Posen and using the powerful cavalry of the Polish army along the shortest route of Frankfurt am Oder was proposed. But when Germany merged Hungary and added 100,000 troops to the southern part of the Eastern Front, that dream came to naught.

At present, after the Germans had made up for the gap in the strength of the German and Polish armies by taking over the Hungarian Army, offsetting the original strength advantage of the Polish army. The only thing left seemed to be to hold on and wait for the French to attack from the German back to support Poland.

The premise of the Polish army to ensure the stability of the defensive line was to pull out the threat forces deployed by the German army in East Prussia, so that the Polish army could focus on frontal defense.

Looking at the expressions of these generals present, several officers sitting on the right side of Marshal Smigre, wearing distinctive blue military uniforms, frowned slightly, and euphemistically expressed their deep disdain for the military level of these high-ranking Polish generals.

Felippowitz, who was explaining the analysis, was so perceptive that he had spotted these outstanding foreign officers as early as the moment he entered the door, but he was too lazy to care. But now the attitude of these officers is indeed a little annoying.

Seeing that Felippowitz, who was his close confidant, was dissatisfied, Field Marshal Smigre, as the commander-in-chief of the Polish Army, quickly followed his gaze to find the reason and saw the officers beside him.

"By the way, I haven't introduced Major General Felippovicz yet. The officers beside me were the French officer corps sent by the French government to guide the Franco-Polish armies. At the head was the chief representative of the officer corps, Major General Bertrand. Sensing something, Smigre smiled and made a brief introduction.

The French sent a minor general to guide! Isn't that looking down on people? If it weren't for the marshal's face, Felipovitz would have almost scolded.

"Hello, Major General Bertrand." Despite the anger in his heart, Felippowitz politely greeted Bertrand as the marshal meant.

"Say hello and don't say it." Bertrand waved his hand very stinky and said, "Finish your plan first, and I'll summarize it later." ”

How old are you? They are all major generals, who wants you to summarize? Although Felippowitz didn't mention it, he already began to hate this very dragged French major general in his heart.

"Major General Bertrand, I've just finished speaking very clearly, is there anything else you haven't understood?" Felipovitz said as unsarcastically as possible.

"That's it? Judging by the excitement you had before, I thought your plan was perfect. Bertrand said with a look of surprise.

"Okay, then I'll start summing it up." With a confident expression, Bertrand quickly swaggered over to the map and began his summary.

A group of Polish generals had long been dissatisfied with the French major general, and their faces were even more red when they saw him reply to Felippowitz in pretended surprise. By the time he stepped forward to snatch Felippowitz's telescopic rod, he almost slapped the table. Is there anything he dragged like that? Our Polish marshal hasn't spoken yet!

"I'll just summarize what Major General Felippovicz said, anyway, there is nothing to say about other people's plans before, and General Felippowitz's plan is still to the point." Bertrand's eyes scanned the people present, and then he raised the telescopic rod and pointed to the map, and said: "General Felippowitz just mentioned that in the face of the fierce German army, the Polish side can only focus on improving its own defense. While his plan is not very mature, he is at least strategically accurate. ”

As soon as these words came out, there was another uproar in the audience! The feelings of the entire Polish army were discussed for a long time, and Felippowicz was able to see the plan alone. In this way, it is also denied that other people's plans are premature.

Repeatedly failing to see the whispers of the officers, Bertrand then pointed to the map: "Although we should aim to secure the line, we should not rest on a single position in East Prussia. In my opinion, instead of straightening the line by attacking East Prussia with great fanfare, it is better to secretly move the main forces back to the line of defense behind the Neman, Bubul, Narev, Vistula and San rivers. ”

From an operational point of view, this could not only eliminate the threat of German encirclement with a single soldier, but also rely on river obstacles to increase the strength of the Polish army's resistance to the German troops. Moreover, the length of this line is only about 600 kilometers, which is a full 1,200 kilometers shorter than the border line from Suwałki to the Corpathian Mountains proposed by General Felipowitz, which can further increase the density of your army's defense. ”

Hearing this, many division commanders looked at their marshal with strange expressions.

Yes, from a purely military point of view, Bertrand's advice is indeed impeccable. But this proposal was built at the expense of the entire important industrial and agricultural region of Western Poland! Even the small Danzig corridor, the Polish government was reluctant to return it to Germany, and now can it give up the entire western part of the country?
