Berlin, the General Staff of the Kingdom of Prussia!

All the senior generals of the Prussian army arrived, a huge military map hung on the wall, and the generals sat down on both sides of the table, Shi Dakai holding a baton in his hand. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

"Mr. Earl, let's begin, let's see how profound the military literacy of your country's genius generals can be."

William I said with a smile at Shi Da.

Shi Dakai took a deep breath and replied: "Your Majesty, everyone, my opinion is only the words of one family, if there is a mistake, please do not hesitate to correct it." ”

Shi Dakai said: "Ladies and gentlemen, I have been aware of your country's war plan against Austria, during this time, I have been inspecting European countries, including the industrial strength and military strength of various countries, and the strategy formulated by your country can be said to be in place, but there is an obvious loophole in it, which has been ignored by your army, that is, Italy, Italy on the southern front, is not enough to contain the Austrian army, as we all know, for two hundred years, almost Italy has not fought any decent war, There have never been any influential generals, and their soldiers' combat capabilities are too low to pose a threat to Austria! Therefore, it is impossible for your army to use the Italians to disperse the Austrian forces, not that this strategy is not good, but that this strategy cannot complete the task of containing the Austrian army under the current situation, you know, although the equipment of the Austrian army is inferior to the Prussian army, but their combat power is absolutely not negligible! ”

"Monsieur Count, isn't the Italian army as bad as you say? As long as they can hold the Austrian army for a week, that's fine! ”

The corps commander, General Bittenfeld, questioned.

Shi Dakai smiled bitterly: "General Bittenfeld, I also hope that the Italians are more powerful, at least they can help you more, but the Italians are really not enough to rely on on on the battlefield, they are just a bunch of waste ......"

Of course, this was not discovered by Shi Dakai, who has only been in Europe for two years, where can he be so sure that the Italians are waste? However, Shi Dakai didn't know, Guo Ye knew that Guo Ye had already told him that if among the European powers, that country's army is the most scumbag, it is definitely Italian, since the bourgeois revolution, Italy has not fought a few decent wars, and the scum is extreme!

Although Shi Da has no bottom in his heart, Shi Dakai is convinced of Guo Ye's judgment, His Majesty the Emperor has such a ability, as long as he says a word, it is to the point, to the point, and he has never lost his words!

"General Bittenfeld, the best way is to transfer two or three heavy machine gun battalions from your country to Italy, although it cannot change the tide of the battle, but it is enough to use three heavy machine gun battalions to stabilize the direction of Italy, and not be defeated by the Austrian army in a short time!"

William I, who was on the side, said in a deep voice: "What Mr. Count said is right, for the sake of stability, it is most appropriate to transfer three heavy machine gun battalions to assist the Italian army." ”

"Second, your army intends to launch a full-scale offensive with three arrows in the war, and I also think it is inappropriate, your army now has a certain advantage, once the Austrian army is defeated, it will naturally retreat on all fronts, but because it is a big war in Austria, the opponent occupies a geographical advantage, and can quickly retreat, your army can defeat it, but it cannot completely annihilate its main force, in this case, it will leave a chance for the Austrian army to escape, I suggest that your army can be inserted diagonally into the hinterland of Austria from the east and west, and then launch a full-scale offensive, Once the Austrian army retreated, the two partial divisions could quickly encircle from the left and right directions to prevent the Austrian army from retreating quickly, and once its main force was completely annihilated, Austria would become Prussia's bag! ”

"Okay, it's all in one battle, the Earl is right, kill the main force of Austria in one fell swoop, then take Austria, it's almost certain!"

Crown Prince Wilhelm exclaimed, "Take Austria, plus those free cities and states, then we can surpass France in strength, and it won't be long before we can even be on par with England!" ”

Bismarck's face sank, and he replied lightly: "Mr. Earl, there is no problem in defeating the main force of the Austrian army, and there is no problem in completely annihilating the main force of the Australian army, but if we want to annex Austria, we are not so ambitious!" ”

The people around him were stunned when they heard this, this is not what their prime minister should say, who in the whole of Europe does not know that Bismarck is the toughest iron-blooded prime minister, with superb skills and incomparably tough, and has always advocated war to solve problems, at this critical time, Bismarck actually advocated not annexing Austria! If Austria is not annexed, then what is the Prussian-Austrian war for?

Crown Prince Wilhelm was stunned and said, "Bismarck, you don't really want to drive Austria out of the German Confederation, do you?" Are we waging such a large-scale war just to defeat them? The price we paid is too great to gain more than it loses! ”

"Who says it's worth the loss?"

Bismarck replied lightly: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, you must know that if Austria is defeated, then all the German Confederation and Free Cities will be included in Prussia, and our strength will more than double, but Austria is not our dish, and we will definitely not be able to occupy Austria!" ”

Whether it is the stunned look of Crown Prince William, even William I and the generals of the other legions also look at each other, why is this?

Bismarck continued: "Monsieur Count has a unique insight into the situation on the battlefield, but, with all due respect, Monsieur Count, your attainment in the political field is indeed much worse than your attainment in the military field. ”

Shi Dakai smiled faintly and replied, "Mr. Prime Minister, I would like to hear high opinions!" ”

Bismarck stood up and replied: "I do not agree with the annexation of Austria because of the situation in the whole of Europe, you are right, we want to annex Austria is not impossible, I am also sure of this, but it is not that we do not want to, but we can't!" ”

"Why?"

Moltke asked, "Bismarck, why not?" Since we have defeated the main force of Austria, and our occupation of Austria is a matter of course, can anything stop us from unifying Germany? Not so can Austria, and neither can Hungary! ”

Bismarck replied: "General Moltke, it is not Austria and Hungary that can stop us, but the three great powers of Europe who will not agree to our unification of Germany!" ”
