Chapter 747: Crisis under calm

The war has just begun. After fighting two armies, you think the Russians are finished? Prince Leopold mocked the other's naivety and ignorance mercilessly in his heart!

During this period of time, the prince was not idle. He did a good job of studying the situation of the Southern Front. After reading a lot of reports and filtering the water inside, he came to the conclusion that the Austrians were really bad. !

  First of all, the problem can be seen from the strength of the troops. The Russians are theoretically the strength of 4 army groups, but the number of Russian troops that have been discovered by the Austro-Hungarian Empire is less. The prince does not know how many people are in a Russian army group, but if there are several divisions, the prince can guarantee that the error is less than 2. The Fifth Army was completely wiped out and captured many senior Russian officers. They not only provided information on the center line, but also provided information on the southern line.

  From the current point of view, if only four armies are counted, in addition to the normal reserve team, the Russians still hold at least 7 to 10 entire divisions in their hands. Looking at the Austro-Hungarian Army, almost all of the four armies were overwhelmed. The remaining reserve team visually used up more than half, and the Russians used up to 70% of their power. The Austro-Hungarian Empire has already begun to overdraw its power. The current situation is that the two sides are evenly matched.

The prince    could guess that the purpose of the Russians doing this was because they were afraid that the Bavarian Army would move eastward quickly after the battle of the middle road. The reserve team and the detained troops in his hand were used for defense. As long as the Bavarian Army does not take action or chooses to enter the Western Front, then the forces of these 7 divisions will be scattered on the battlefield, and the situation is wonderful.

  From the front, the situation in the Austro-Hungarian Empire is also not good. The fronts of the two sides have been drawn very wide, and the canine teeth are intertwined and completely mixed together. If one place is broken, it is very difficult for other troops to withdraw. If there is no chance to withdraw and rebuild the line of defense, then you can only squat to the end, if you fail to fight it, it will be completely over. And there is no reserve team in the Austro-Hungarian Army. If the gap cannot be sealed, then a breach may completely cause a complete collapse.

  Originally, the Austro-Hungarian Army also had a back hand. The troops directly under the Austrian Emperor had a total of 6 army groups, but now 4 army groups are on the northern front and 2 army groups are facing Serbia. According to Ruprecht's original plan, there were 4 army groups on the northern line and a reserve team of one army, and a group army on the southern line was the first to take charge of the defense, but unfortunately, this proposal was thrown into the Adriatic Sea by Fritz. This time, the prince still suggested leaving a group army as a reserve. But Fritz responded to the prince by preparing a new army group.

   "Hehe, is it new to build? I'm afraid it's too late?" Prince Leopold now understood what the prince often said, what is meant by death without death.

"Okay, Fritz, let me explain my intentions. I will be in Bavaria tomorrow. I wish you success." Prince Leopold sighed in his heart. The attitude of the other party disappointed him too much. Not helpful, then forget it.

  "Are you going back to Bavaria?" Emperor Fritz frowned. He was a little surprised by the news.

  "The Bavarian elite army is about to be transferred to the north. The remaining troops will defend the current occupied area and are unable to continue to advance. You can do it yourself." The prince said calmly.

   "Is this a threat?" The Austrian Emperor felt a little uneasy. If Ruprecht took away the elite troops, if something went wrong, the Austrian Emperor would admit it, and he would not find reinforcements! Perhaps the Bavarian troops remaining on the eastern front at this time are still able to support, but Prince Leopold has only the right to defend, not the right to assist. If he wants to support troops, he must also agree with the prince. After all, the current commander of the Bavarian Army is still It is the prince, not the prince.

"War needs only. No army is fixed on the same front. William encountered some problems on the western front and we need to solve them. Fritz, you know? Sometimes our cooperation with Prussia is more convenient. It’s simpler, because the former is the exchange of interests, and the latter? We are relatives, and half of the Wittelsbach family’s blood is in your blood. We are trying our best to maintain this relationship, but what you do makes me somewhat Disappointment. You're playing with fire. You don't understand war. If you play it like politics, something will happen. Trust me." Prince Leopold was ready to leave after speaking.

   "Father, if nothing happens, I hope to take Albrecht back to Prague." Before Prince Leopold left the hall, Princess Mary, who had not spoken, stood up and said farewell to the Austrian Emperor. And her choice at this time has a very special meaning. In the opinion of the Austrian Emperor, at this moment, he chose Bavaria instead of Austria.

  "Mary, you are my youngest child. I have always treated you well. Everything you want, everything you have now is given by me." Fritz suppressed his anger.

"Okay, Fritz, this is a period of war, not a period of politics and emotions. At most a month, we turn our heads and look again to know who is right and who is wrong. Ruprecht will wait in Munich. Yours. Then you will understand that professional matters are left to professional people.” Prince Leopold said ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Your Royal Highness, your convoy is ready and ready to go. "Prince Leopold turned and said to Princess Mary. His words were full of respect.

"Carl, I gave you the opportunity to behave well. If you can't protect this kingdom, then you don't deserve to have this crown." After Princess Mary and Prince Leopold left, King Fritz seriously faced aside. Said Grand Duke Karl.

"Your Majesty, the soldiers of the Austro-Hungarian Empire will use their actions to prove that our saber is enough to defend the interests of the empire. What Bavaria can do, we can do it too!" Carl said with some excitement, in his opinion, King Fritz has given him the position of the prince. As long as he can make some achievements, then he will become a prince.

"Go ahead." King Fritz showed an unexplained smile as he watched the Duke Carl go away. The Prince's statement made him very angry today, but this will not affect Fritz's judgment. Think about it. Prussia excluded Austria-Hungary from Germany, and Fritz could be friends with Prussia. What could not bear him? It was just a few ruthless words.

At his age, he doesn’t ask for much. The most important thing is that the kingdom can continue to be passed on to the Habsburg family. It can be given to Karl or Princess Mary, depending on who can Protect this kingdom.
