Admiral Ivanov's brows furrowed tightly. The two operational plans submitted by the General Staff of the www.biquge.info Front Army were undoubtedly extremely difficult for him to choose.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the battle plan of the General Staff has come out. Let's see, which battle plan do we choose? Admiral Ivanov asked.

"General, if you want to be safe, the first battle plan is naturally the most suitable. However, it is difficult to say whether the two armies will be able to withstand the attack of the German 8th Army Corps. In addition, it will also bring the battlefield to a stalemate. All the advantages we had were lost. Admiral Rusky said.

Admiral Ivanov nodded, they had finally inflicted heavy losses on the Austrian army in the war, and they were able to inflict further heavy losses on them, and even defeat them, and win the war. However, the Germans came out of nowhere at this time. If you give up, you'll be in vain. Admiral Ivanov was also very reluctant in his heart.

"If we choose the second battle plan, will we be able to quickly defeat Austria-Hungary?" Admiral Ivanov asked.

The second battle plan, the reason why it was risky, was that a group army of the Russian army could not resist the attack of the German 8th Army Corps at all. In that case, they would be caught between the Germans and the Austrians. At that time, I am afraid that not only will they lose their advantages completely, but they will even fall into an extremely disadvantageous situation.

"General, it's very difficult. Austria-Hungary was on the front, and three army groups were also deployed, and the forces were not much less than ours. It's very difficult to defeat them in a short period of time. In addition, after the arrival of the Germans, the morale of the Austrian army will inevitably be high. This makes it more difficult to defeat them. Colonel-General Dimitriev said.

"General, although there are difficulties, I think that if we go well, we may not have no chance of defeating Austria-Hungary. Before, we could suppress them. At present, the three armies of Austria-Hungary on the front line are mostly dissatisfied. If we attack with all our might, we have a chance to defeat them. As long as Austria-Hungary is defeated, we can gather the main forces to besiege the Germans. The Germans' 8th Army Corps was formidable, but if our four armies had besieged them, they would have had a chance of victory. When the time comes, we will be ashamed and win the entire battlefield! The commander of the 8th Army of the Russian Army, General Brushinov, said excitedly. He is an adventurous person who wants to get the most out of his adventures.

The current war situation is also like this for the Russian army. If you can take a little risk, but in exchange for a chance to win the war once and for all, in the eyes of Admiral Brushinov, this is undoubtedly a very good deal.

Of course, if the war is lost, the consequences will undoubtedly be very miserable. When the time comes, they will lose completely.

Admiral Ivanov, it is precisely with this in mind that he is a little hesitant. He wanted to seize this opportunity to defeat the German and Austrian armies in one fell swoop and win victory on the battlefield for the Russian Empire. However, if he fails, the consequences are not something he can afford.

"General, I think we can choose the second battle plan. It's a bit risky, but if you win, it will completely change the situation on the battlefield. We will have the upper hand in this war. and even defeat our enemies once and for all. The commander of the 11th Army of the Russian Army, Colonel-General Serivanov, also expressed his opinion.

As a general, when directing a war, it is understandable and a very important quality to be cautious. However, this must not be a loss of risk-taking. You must know that many major victories in the history of warfare were won after taking risks. If you blindly pursue prudence, you will miss the warplane.

Everyone's eyes fell on Admiral Ivanov, waiting for him to make a final decision.

Admiral Ivanov, too, felt the tremendous pressure. After all, his choice is not only related to the life and death of the millions of troops of the Russian Southwestern Front, but also to whether Russia can win in this war, which is undoubtedly very important.

"General Dimitryev, will your troops be able to hold out for half a month under the attack of the Germans?" Admiral Ivanov asked. He seems to have made up his mind and made some kind of decision.

"General, it's very difficult. The strength of the Germans was too strong. Once their tank forces attack, our troops may not be able to resist at all. The defense line we have built will be easily torn apart by the Germans. Admiral Dimitriev swallowed with difficulty. The thought of fending off the attack of the powerful German 8th Army made his heart tighten.

"The Germans are very good at tank forces, but we can stop them in other ways. For example, building strong fortifications. The command, for their part, thought that it would be possible to stop the advance of the German tanks by digging wider trenches, which might be useful in our defensive operations. Admiral Ivanov said.

"Yes, General. However, half a month may not be enough to defeat Austria-Hungary, right? Colonel-General Dimitriev said.

"After you hold out for half a while, the 13th Army will arrive. When the time comes, the 13th Army will cooperate with you to resist the German attack. The remaining three armies sought to defeat Austria-Hungary in the shortest possible time. This is our only chance. If we can defeat Austria-Hungary, we will be able to win this battle. Otherwise, we're going to lose. Admiral Ivanov said.

"Yes, General. We will do everything we can to stop the Germans. Colonel-General Dimitriev said. He knew that Admiral Ivanov had already made up his mind, and it was useless to talk about anything else, only to do his best to complete the combat mission.

"I will report the battle plan to Grand Duke Nicholas. If His Excellency approves our battle plan, then attack at once. Time is running out, and we have to seize this opportunity! Admiral Ivanov said.

"Yes, General." All the Russian generals replied loudly. Everyone knows that since Admiral Ivanov has chosen such a risky battle plan, then everyone has to fight hard. This is not only about whether Russia can win the war, but also about their vital interests, even their lives. If you win, promotion and fortune are indispensable. But if you fail, I'm afraid you'll die.
