"Father, I'm back!" Qin Tian and Feng? Upon arrival at the Royal Palace, Falkenhain went directly to the office of Wilhelm II. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Well, Oscar, you're on the Eastern Front, and you're doing a very nice job!" Wilhelm II looked approving.

The performance of Qin Tian and the 8th Army on the Eastern Front indeed exceeded Wilhelm II's expectations. Although, before the outbreak of the war, Qin Tian had invested heavily in purchasing various equipment for the 8th Legion, which greatly improved the combat effectiveness of the 8th Legion. However, Wilhelm II did not believe that the 8th Army alone would be able to withstand the Russian attack. In the opinion of Wilhelm II, although the combat effectiveness of the Russian army is not strong, the terrifying superiority of troops is still incomparable with other countries. With less than 200,000 men, the 8th Army may be able to repel one or two Russian attacks, but it is almost impossible to completely hold the Eastern Front.

Originally, Wilhelm II still thought that after winning the battlefield on the Western Front, he would quickly dispatch troops to the Eastern Front to reinforce the 8th Army Corps. But what Wilhelm II did not expect was that the Western Front did not achieve a decisive victory as he expected. Although, the German army invaded northern France, and it was only a few dozen kilometers away from Paris. But in the last tens of kilometers, they were never able to break through. Although the Germans still had the upper hand on the Western Front, they suffered equally heavy losses. Moreover, it is undoubtedly difficult to launch a further attack.

Just when Wilhelm II was disappointed on the battlefield on the Western Front, the battlefield on the Eastern Front gave him an unexpected surprise. Qin Tian and the 8th Army Corps, relying on less than 200,000 troops, successively defeated the attacks of the four group armies of the Russian army, and also annihilated all four group armies, eliminating nearly 900,000 Russian troops. Such results seem to be more brilliant than the battlefields on the Western Front! You must know that the German army invested 7 times more troops on the Western Front than on the Eastern Front!

The Russian army, which has lost so many elite troops, has already suffered a great loss of vitality. Although Russia was still mobilizing, their terrifying soldiers would still pose a great threat to Germany. But Wilhelm II was no longer so worried. Even if the Russians were to attack again, it would not be possible to do so in a short period of time, which would give Germany more time to breathe. When the time comes, it is difficult to say how the situation will develop.

"Father, the reason why the 8th Army can achieve what it is today is entirely because of your wise leadership and support." Qin Tian didn't dare to be arrogant, especially in front of a conceited person like Wilhelm II.

Wilhelm II nodded with satisfaction, very satisfied with Qin Tian's performance.

"Oscar, you guys are fighting well on the Eastern Front, next, do you have any thoughts on the battlefield on the Eastern Front?" Wilhelm II asked.

"Father, although the Russian army has been hit hard by us. However, their strength is still not to be underestimated. Especially now the Russians are still mobilizing. Once they are mobilized, they can send millions of troops to continue the offensive against us. Qin Tian said with a serious face. The terrifying number of troops in the Russian Army has always been a headache for European countries.

"Oscar, I'm very happy that you were able to keep a clear head. The Russians, indeed, are not so easy to deal with. Kaiser Wilhelm II said.

"Yes, Father. Given the overall situation of the war, I think we need to further weaken the Russians on the Eastern Front. In the next step, the 8th Army Corps hoped to cooperate with Austria-Hungary to eliminate the Russians' Southwestern Front. Our allies, in the face of the Russians, fought very badly. If we don't help them, it's going to be very difficult for them to win. This was very unfavorable for the Eastern Front. Qin Tian said. If Austria-Hungary had been defeated repeatedly, it would have been a loss of strength for the Allies. At that time, Germany even had to devote more forces on the Eastern Front to ensure the suppression of Russia. In this case, it will inevitably affect Germany's investment on other fronts.

"Austria-Hungary did a terrible job in this war. They have much more elite weapons and equipment than the Russians, and their troops are no less than the Russians. But it was still defeated by the Russians. Wilhelm II sneered.

"However, Austria-Hungary is our ally after all, and it is also good for us to help them stabilize the war on the Eastern Front. I personally support the 8th Army Corps in fighting against Austria-Hungary. Falkenhein, you are responsible for communicating with the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Wilhelm II continued.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Feng? Falkenhayn rejoiced.

Traditionally, Moltke is often responsible for such matters. But now, Wilhelm II has entrusted him with responsibility, isn't it obvious that he no longer trusts Moltke? This also makes Feng? Falkenhain was more confident about replacing Moltke Jr. and taking over the post of chief of the General Staff.

Qin Tian also realized this, and he was a little more happy in his heart. If Moltke can be squeezed into active service, it will be of great help to him to further increase his influence in the army. Little Moltke seems to have become a key figure in preventing Qin Tian from expanding his strength in the army.

"Oscar, Austria-Hungary will certainly not refuse our help. However, how sure was the 8th Army corps cooperating with Austria-Hungary to defeat the Russians' Southwestern Front? Wilhelm II asked.

Wilhelm II did not want that if he did not win, but suffered heavy losses, the German advantage on the Eastern Front would be wiped out. This will also be very disadvantageous for Germany.

"Father! Judging from the experience of the 8th Army Corps in previous battles with the Russians, the Russians had nothing to do in the face of the powerful firepower of the 8th Army Corps. At one time, they organized several attacks on the defense line of the 8th Army Corps, and even sent out Cossack cavalry. But the final result was nothing more than a bloody head hit on our defensive line, heavy losses, and a river of blood. And the powerful assault capabilities of our armored forces also make it impossible for the Russians to resist at all. Powerful firepower, combined with the assault capabilities of the armored forces, was undoubtedly the main reason why the 8th Army Corps was able to win more with fewer on the Eastern Front. Qin Tian said.

Wilhelm II nodded, but at the same time, he also had another thought in his heart: "Can the powerful firepower and armored forces improve the combat effectiveness of the troops by so much?" I don't know if it will be useful on the Western Front? ”
