v4 Chapter 84： , German strategic change
In the Imperial Palace in Berlin, Wilhelm II is holding a military conference, and the trend of the world war is becoming more and more unfavorable for the Allies.
The east and west sides are in a stalemate, which is very unfavorable for the Germans. They must break this status quo as soon as possible.
Although Germany has always performed very well in this war, the French are about to collapse, but unfortunately something went wrong at the last minute.
First, Bulgarian reinforcements arrived on the Western Front and helped the French to stabilize the defense. This was still a minor problem. William II believed that as long as a period of time passed, the French would still be finished.
It's a pity that you can't hold back your allies! At the last moment, something went wrong on the Eastern Front, forcing him to stop the offensive on the Western Front and send troops to strengthen the Eastern Front.
Now the Allies are in a very dangerous situation. Even if they blocked this wave of Russian attacks, the Austro-Hungarian Empire was greatly injured and unable to face the military pressure of Russia and Russia.
Not to mention the Italians, the Allies are embarrassed by them. The Western Front can make a 1:1 exchange than they are the biggest heroes!
Before the war broke out, according to the estimates of the German Staff, the Austro-Hungarian and Italian navies in the Mediterranean were not as good as the Allied powers, but the gap was not big!
At least it is possible to interrupt the maritime transport lines of the Allies, and the result has not yet begun to end.
The remaining Italian navy can only lick its wounds in the harbor, and the Austro-Hungarian navy can only stay at home and paddle.
Not to mention the 6th Army, Italy’s biggest contribution since its participation in the war has been to drag down hundreds of thousands of French troops. As for the record so far, there has been no victory that can be achieved, and the best performance is just losing both to the enemy.
As for the remaining countries such as the Kingdom of Montenegro, Romania, and the Ottoman Empire, the Germans have never regarded them as equal allies. They are obviously playing the role of shouting, without expectation.
From the perspective of the Germans, the performance of the Ottomans is already level. While restraining the hundreds of thousands of Russian troops, they also restrained half of Bulgaria's troops. This has accomplished the task very well.
Well, since allies can't do it, let's do it yourself! Anyway, the German army 6 armies are invincible in the world, let's do it first!
Little Mochi is gone. Now the chief of staff of the German 6th Army is Lieutenant General Falkenhain (Note: There is also a translation Falkenhausen). He is probably the only beneficiary of the German generals from the Eastern Front. Up. But this kind of benefit, he would rather not!
"Your Excellency Chief of Staff, are you going to change your strategy?" William II asked suspiciously
Falkenhain replied affirmatively: "Yes, Your Majesty! The current situation of fighting on the two fronts is very unfavorable for us, and we must get rid of this situation as soon as possible.
After the division of forces, it is difficult for us to make a breakthrough in the short term on the Western Front. The Austro-Hungarian Empire on the Eastern Front is now greatly injured. They no longer have the ability to contain Russia and Bulgaria at the same time.
If we cannot resolve the Russians before Bulgaria ends the war on Asia Minor, there will also be problems on the southern front of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, and we cannot open a third front! "
William II nodded. He is not a military novice. He naturally knows how much pressure is on the Eastern Front.
"If you transfer 25 more divisions from the Western Front, there will be no problem, right?" William II asked
Falkenhain replied affirmatively: "No! After the deployment of troops, we will change the current combat plan, the Western Front will stop offensive and conduct a comprehensive defense.
Although the Allied Powers have a military advantage, their combat effectiveness cannot be compared to ours. If they take the initiative to attack, there may be unexpected gains.
Moreover, the battle on the Eastern Front will not last long. It is expected that it will severely damage the main force of the Russian Sixth Army within two to three months, forcing the Russians to withdraw from the war! "
William II nodded and expressed his acquiescence. In fact, if the Italian army is added, the forces of the Allies and Allies on the Western Front are almost equal.
It’s just that the combat effectiveness of the Italian Sixth Army has always been a mystery. Their swing problem is really surprising. Once a burst, they can still fight the enemy half-and-five, but most of the time they are very embarrassing, so naturally they dare not hug them. There are expectations.
...
As soon as the German moved, Teddy Bear’s good days were over. Originally, the offensive and defensive trend of the Eastern Front had been reversed. The reason was still very funny. The Russians had problems with logistics.
After the winter offensive ended, the Russian army consumed most of the ammunition and grain. In the three days after the start of the general offensive, the Russian artillery ran out of shells that were originally planned to be used for two weeks. Since then, the Russian artillery has always been in a "half hungry" state lacking shells.
In this context, it's not a problem. In fact, the Russian logistics system is already doing very well.
With their poor transportation, they can barely guarantee the consumption of millions of front-line troops, which is entirely due to the reform of the Chief of Staff Vladimir Alexandrovich Sukhomlinov.
After he took office, he accomplished the following feats:
First, shorten the mobilization time of the army;
Second, to achieve scientific and technological progress in the military;
Third, revive the morale of the Russian army after the failure of Manchuria;
Fourth, improve the logistics support system and reinforcement organization of the Sixth Army during the war.
He reduced excessive fortress garrisons and used the reduced forces to form heavy artillery companies, balloon troops, and radio communication agencies. In addition, he also formed six additional divisions.
He doubled the number of machine guns. The annual conscription increased by 250,000, the number of officers was increased, and the food and clothing of Russian soldiers were improved.
It was his reforms that enabled the Russians to quickly complete their mobilization at the beginning of the World War and start the road to suicide.
Well, Romania’s premature completion has also created conditions for Russian supplies. At least the Southwest Front Army can directly obtain supplies from Bulgaria through Romania.
...
"Your Majesty, this is another telegram from the Russians for help!" Foreign Secretary Metjeev said sadly
Ferdinand received the telegram, and the more he looked at his brows, the closer his brows became. The Russians' appetite became too great.
"Tell the Russians that there is nothing we can do. The materials promised by Britain and France have not arrived, and we cannot provide them with so many strategic materials!" Ferdinand said dissatisfied.
What a joke, if you follow the list, Ferdinand would be a fool!
100 million bullets, 1 million rifles, 100 cannons of all kinds, 50,000 tons of shells, 50,000 tents, 300 tons of medicines...
These strategic materials, UU Reading has already accounted for half of Bulgaria's total reserves. No matter what conditions the czarist government offers, Ferdinand cannot agree to it.
These materials were promised by Britain and France to the Russians. Unfortunately, because the submarines of the Allied Powers have been very active recently, the Mediterranean route is not so safe.
Last month, the Allied Powers were in the Mediterranean region, and the number of sunk ships exceeded 120,000 tons. If we add the Atlantic Ocean, this figure would have approached 40,000 tons.
Even if the Allied Powers have a big business, they cannot withstand such consumption! In order to ensure the safety of the routes, the navy of the Allied Powers had to increase the **** efforts, even so the losses were still very heavy.
In this context, it is not surprising that the materials promised by Britain and France cannot arrive on time. As for the advancement of supplies for Britain and France? Ferdinand said that Thaksin could not trust the credibility of Britain and France!
Even if Yingfaken fulfilled his promise, he still had to be lucky! Now Germany, Austria, and Italy are all starting to build submarines like dumplings. Everyone knows that the transportation of this material will be more difficult in the later stage!
As for the Russians? Ferdinand said that Teddy Bear's skin is hard and tough, and it's okay to withstand the three-handedness of the Allies!
It doesn't matter if they can't stand it, they can go back! It's almost to Vienna now, far from St. Petersburg!
The big deal is to pick up the railway and withdraw straight back for five hundred miles. If the Germans dare to chase them, they can withdraw another five hundred miles. I don't believe the Germans dare to chase them forever!
With space for time, and another year and a half, the material assistance promised by Britain and France will basically be in place. Then we will teach the Germans to behave again!
