Chapter 1729 Feast

"This strength is a bit weak." Looking at the currently scattered troops on the Ukrainian front and several divisions in the Transcaucasus region, Prince Leopold frowned. In the eyes of the battle-tested prince, although the main force of the Russians has been washed by the Allied Army several times, although Russia is now in civil strife, this time, the prince's combat plan still makes him feel a little underestimated.

If the Bavarian Legion’s offensive was as deadly as a siege cone and a giant axe before, after cutting the gap, a large number of subsequent troops will serve as the support of the sharp knife force, trying to penetrate the opponent and develop in depth, then this time, The twelve divisions concentrated on the Ukrainian front walked hundreds of kilometers on the front. The fronts were very scattered, and there was not much follow-up support. If other officers were making this plan, then the prince might directly request his superiors. Get this guy out of the army! This TM is shameful!

But this time, Ruprecht, who has always been cautious, personally formulated this plan. At the same time, it was deployed in the Transcaucasian region. The prince clearly stated in the plan that he was prepared to use the strength of four divisions to bring the entire Russian army. All the Transcaucasus is occupied!

I have to say that the prince’s ambitions are very large. From Belarus to the Ukrainian front, the Russian army still has at least 40 divisions on paper. This time, the prince seems to regard the Russians as nothing, not only to defeat them, but also It is necessary to advance the front line hundreds of kilometers, and the end of the attack is also very famous in history. This place was called Stalingrad in World War II!

"Although there has been chaos in Russia, it is difficult to say whether this chaos will continue, and it is St. Petersburg in the north that has chaos, and the military system in the south is still intact. If the Russians even retain Bolusino this year Half of the combat power when the husband's offensive broke out, we will lose a lot. After all, the overall number of our two-line troops is somewhat small." Prince Leopold said after careful consideration.

Although the Bavarian Army made an overall eastward move, there were indeed many troops moving eastward, but not many of them were actually engaged in the battle. This is just a suspicion to let their enemies know that the Bavarian Army is no longer there. It may have affected the domestic situation. Many of these troops stayed in the occupied areas on the Eastern Front for a period of time, and then returned to the Austria-Hungarian Empire and Germany at an appropriate time...

Prince Leopold naturally knew about this, and he also agreed to use Russia's internal and external difficulties to make a fortune, but he did not expect that the prince actually planned to fight so far!

"Don't worry, this time the Normanov dynasty is dead. For at least two months in the future, they will fall into infighting and chaos. There will be no effective central government to direct and coordinate the war. Perhaps, the Mackensen Army's attack on St. Petersburg will be under certain pressure. After all, it is the capital of the Russians. No matter who comes to power, they will try to protect the capital. But on the southern front, the opponents on the front line are panic and lack of war preparations. , And it’s even more impossible to get support from the north. Believe me, uncle, logistics and weather have caused more trouble for us than the Russians. Now the Russian army is fragile and paper-like!” The prince is full of confidence. Said.

As a traveler, comparing the information collected now, the prince can know what Russia is like now! In history, what was it like when the February Revolution broke out in Russia? Take grain production as an example. In 1916, Russia's grain production was only 72% of that in 1914! In other words, nearly 30% of the food was lost, and if you take into account the exploitation of landlords, the hoarding of merchants, and the lag in the consumption and transportation of the army, the problem of these food shortages will be several times more serious in some cities. Happening! For example, the December 1916 grain in St. Petersburg can only get 14% of the planned amount! By February 1917, the whole city had only enough flour for 10 days to use. On March 1, the Russian authorities began to provide food by voucher, and on March 8, large-scale unrest began. ......

Therefore, the sky and the earth are big and the food is the largest, and on this plane, the Russians’ food supply is less than in history. After all, in history, at the end of 1916, the Russians still had more than half of Ukraine’s food available and reduced production. It is more because of the massive expropriation of rural labor and livestock. (In some provinces, half of the rural labor is expropriated). There is still a lot of arable land, but even Ukraine has lost this plane, even if the Russians follow the most optimistic It is estimated that there are 6 achievements in grain production capacity! So, you know.

So, one week after the outbreak of the Russian Revolution, the prince decisively issued an order for the final battle against Russia. The 12 Bavarian divisions located on the front line of Ukraine began to launch a general offensive. The battle situation went as the prince expected. The Russian front-line troops can be described as having no fighting spirit, and even before the two sides contacted, the entire battalion of Russian troops began to flee.

At this time, the starting front of the Bavarian Army from north to south was Soestka, Sumei, Kharkiv, Idjum, and Donetsk. No more than 10 days after the offensive began, the striker of the Northern Bavarian Army had arrived in Kursk! The resistance was very slight, and more than 70% of the time was spent on the road...

At the same time, the Kaiser in Brussels also issued an attack order ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ desperately prepared to join the feast, and this time, the main target of the Mackensen Army is the Russian capital Saint Petersburg!

"Before the end of March, I need to see the German flag planted in St. Petersburg!" In a telegram to Mackensen, the German supreme said unabashedly. In order to achieve this goal, despite the opposition of the logistics department and some frontline officers, the German Emperor once again allocated a large amount of supplies and troops to the Eastern Front.

At this point, almost everyone is already very clear that Russia and the Normanov dynasty are about to end. For the Allies, this is an out-and-out feast, but for the Allies, it is before the end. Death knell!

"If the destruction of the Normanov dynasty cannot be reversed, then we must at least ensure that the new government can remain in the camp of the Allies! And when the old government collapses and the new government is established, we must give Russia new Time for the government to breathe!" At the high-level meeting of the Allied Powers held in Paris, General Nivelle, the commander of the Paris Front, unexpectedly proposed a resolution to fight an offensive operation! At the same time, the heads of Britain and France began to plan for this final year's war!
