Inside the city of Warsaw, the headquarters of the North-Western Front of the Russian Army. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Since the almost total annihilation of the 1st and 2nd armies of the Russian army, the commander of the Northwestern Front of the Russian army, Ivan? Admiral Gilinsky was very worried, fearing that Tsar Nicholas II would directly order him to be arrested and hanged. However, for several days, Tsar Nico II did not give such an order, which made Ivan? Admiral Gilinsky was puzzled and relieved. After all, no one wants to die.

Only later, when the order of Nicholas II was given, it was only a rebuke to Ivan? Colonel-General Gilinsky was stunned and did not remove him from the post of commander of the North-Western Front. At the same time, two army groups were sent to reinforce the Kingdom of Poland, which was under the command of the North-Western Front. What makes Ivan? Admiral Gilinsky was grateful, and in a telegram to Nicholas II, he said that he would definitely hold the Kingdom of Poland. If he can't keep it, he will commit suicide and apologize.

Nicholas II looked at Ivan? After the telegram sent by Admiral Gilinsky, he simply threw it aside and ignored it. It's not that he doesn't want to decide Ivan? Admiral Gilinsky's crime, it is really impossible to find a suitable person to replace Ivan? Colonel-General Gilinsky. Ivan? General Gilinsky had served as the chief of the General Staff of the Russian Army, and the other generals had to give him some face to a greater or lesser extent. If it were someone else, I am afraid that I would not be able to command those arrogant generals immediately.

The other Russian generals do not seem to have the intention of going to the Kingdom of Poland to take over this mess. In fact, they are also well aware that the situation in the Kingdom of Poland is already tense. After the German victory in East Prussia, the next step was definitely to attack the Kingdom of Poland. Since he was the commander of the North-Western Front, he had to fight against the powerful German army. With the precedent of the North-Western Front, everyone feared that it would be the next target of defeat for the Germans. In that case, the consequences can be very serious. If you don't do it, you will lose your life. So, Ivan? Admiral Gilinsky was able to escape and continue to sit in his current position.

"General Retzsky and General Krapovich, when will they be able to arrive in Warsaw?" Ivan? Admiral Gilinsky looked anxious. Now, the Germans are on arrival in Warsaw, and Russian reinforcements have not yet arrived. If the Germans attacked, how could the Russian army hold such a small amount of the city of Warsaw. After the defeat of two battles in East Prussia, which led to the destruction of the 1st and 2nd armies, Ivan? Admiral Gilinsky already had a fear of the German army.

"General, the 9th Army is still in Lublin, and the 2nd Guards Army has just set off from Bia for Stoke." Staff officer reported.

"Bastard! Didn't they report yesterday that they were heading for Warsaw? Why is it still on the way. "Ivan? Admiral Gilinsky burst into flames.

If reinforcements do not arrive in Warsaw in a day, he has no way to rest assured. For fear that the Germans would attack. If he fails to hold Warsaw, then his fate will undoubtedly be very tragic.

"General, the German artillery is preparing, and it looks like an artillery bombardment of the Wassa is about to begin." Suddenly, an officer rushed into the command and directed himself at Ivan? Colonel-General Gilinsky reported.

"Damn!" Ivan? Admiral Gilinsky couldn't help but scold.

"Boom! Rumble! ”

Suddenly, a series of explosions sounded in the city, and one building after another was destroyed under German shelling. The inhabitants of Warsaw fled long before the German attack. For these civilians, the Germans did not stop them. Now, almost all that remains in Warsaw is Russian troops. Therefore, the Germans were able to fire unscrupulously.

"Boom!" An artillery shell, which exploded not far from the command of the Russian army. What makes Ivan? Gilinsky's face couldn't help but become even more ugly.

"Send a telegram to the 9th Army and the 2nd Guards Army, telling them that within three days they must rush to Warsaw. Otherwise, I will report their disobedience to His Majesty the Tsar. I'm going to see if they can afford to be defeated. "Ivan? Admiral Gilinsky said with a gloomy face.

He's obviously going to be a scoundrel. If the blame for the defeat can be shifted to Generals Retzsky and Krapovich, then he can get out of the way. As for what kind of consequences this will have, I'm afraid it's not for him to consider.

"Yes, General." The communications officer immediately went to send a telegram.

In Ivan? From the point of view of Admiral Gilinsky, the reason why Admiral Retzsky and Admiral Krapovich were slow on the road was simply to rectify him. Once Warsaw fell and the Kingdom of Poland fell, Tsar Nicholas II would certainly not let him go. So, he had to do everything he could to save his life. If the two of them still don't obey the order, then, even if he dies, he will pull them on his back.

"Two armies, 400,000 people, one of which is an elite Guards Army, no matter how strong the Germans are, there is absolutely no problem in holding Warsaw!" Ivan? Colonel-General Gilinsky said.

"Yes, General. The Germans were indeed very strong in combat, but the 2nd Guards Army was also a well-equipped and brave unit. Even in the field, the Germans could not be defeated. But defense is enough to turn Warsaw into a fortress. Even those tank units of the Germans don't want to defeat us. "said the commander of the 2nd Army of the Russian Army, Colonel-General Samsonov.

After the 2nd Army was encircled and annihilated, General Samsonov, as the commander, was lucky and managed to escape. However, after escaping back to Warsaw, he almost became a bare-bones commander. It's just that he and Ivan? General Gilinsky had a close relationship, so there was still a place for him in the headquarters of the North-Western Front. Of course, the reason why Tsar Nicholas II did not dispose of him was because he was in a desperate situation, did not betray the Russian Empire, unlike Admiral Leinenkamp, who immediately surrendered to Germany. In comparison, he's pretty good. That's why Nicholas II spared him.

Of course, this is only for the time being. If the Russian army had suffered a crushing defeat in the Kingdom of Poland, the angry Tsar Nicholas II would have sent them all to the gallows. Tsar Nicholas II, however, never showed mercy to those who failed.
