Germanic Empire: Please call me Wilhelm III

Thank you book friends ** and qq_ ** for their tips!

Germanic Empire, Berlin, General Staff.

August arrived here with the Minister of War, Admiral von Falkenhein, and the Chief of the General Staff, General Moltke Jr., and a large number of Army generals were already waiting here.

After the last blow and weakening of the Junckers officer corps, August’s control over the army has been further improved, and he has completely established his supreme leadership position in the army.

The generals were in awe of Auguste.

“My generals, war is about to break out. Our enemies, whether Gauls, old Maozi, or the sun never sets, have already mobilized. Although, the pace of mobilization is not fast. But this is because the war has not really broken out yet. As soon as our ally Austria-Hungary launched an attack on the Kingdom of Serbia. Then, they will inevitably declare war on Austria-Hungary at the first time. And the empire, naturally, could only advance and retreat with Austria-Hungary.

Therefore, this war is no longer inevitable. Actually, we didn’t try to avoid it. Haven’t we been preparing for so many years to be able to defeat our enemies in one fell swoop in this battle and make the Germanic Empire even more glorious?

As soldiers of the empire, our duty is to use the sword in our hands to compete for a wider living space for the entire Germanic nation! ”

August gave an enthusiastic speech in front of these generals, which aroused everyone’s fighting spirit.

Their fanaticism can be seen in the eyes of every general, and everyone has actually been looking forward to this war for a long time. Everyone hoped that the Germanic Empire would win the following wars, so that they could achieve great feats and further promotion.

Among the armies of the Germanic Empire, there was a high rank. Without battle merit, it can be very difficult to get promoted.

This is why the generals are so eager for war. Every big battle will lead to countless promotions.

“Your Majesty, we are all ready. Even if our enemy is very strong, we will definitely be able to win this time! Admiral Moltke Jr. looked confident.

“The Germanic Empire will win! God bless the Germanic Empire! ”

Everyone’s fighting spirit is obviously very good, which also makes August very satisfied.

“Next, let’s start introducing the combat deployment!” August said.

As early as the previous Chief of the General Staff, General Schlieffen, was appointed Chief of the General Staff, a plan of operations for the Western Front was already drawn up.

This plan is known as the Schlieffen Plan.

Its core tactic is to use the convenient railway transportation of the Germanic Empire, quickly mobilize troops, and assemble the main forces to attack on the Western Front at the beginning of the war, so that it can severely damage the Gallic State at the beginning of the war, force the Gallic State to withdraw from the war, and allow the Germanic Empire to win a decisive victory on the Western Front.

After that, the troops were mobilized to the eastern front by railway, and the Austro-Hungarian Empire was fully used to deal with the Russian Empire and defeat the Russian Empire in one fell swoop.

As long as the Gaul Kingdom and the Russian Empire were defeated, no matter how strong the Sun Never Set Empire was, it could only retreat to the mainland. The Germanic Empire would become the hegemon of the entire European continent.

However, the reality is very different now from the time of General Schlieffen.

The biggest difference is that the Germanic Empire annexed the Kingdom of the Netherlands. This made it easier for the Germanic Empire to launch an attack next.

Not only to launch an attack from the eastern part of the Kingdom of Bilis, but also to mobilize the main forces to attack from the north of the Kingdom of Bilis. This also made the defense system built by the Belisians on the eastern border, with the fortress of Liège as the core, already useless.

As long as the Germanic Imperial Army breaks through from the north, it will be able to penetrate the Kingdom of Pyrius to the south and attack the northern part of Gaul in one go.

“Your Majesty, we have adjusted the Schlieffen plan in light of the current actual situation and the strength of the Imperial Army. According to the Empire’s plan, at the outbreak of war, the Imperial Army would have 100 infantry divisions, 10 cavalry brigades and 10 heavy artillery brigades, as well as 5 armored divisions. These units would form ten army groups to be used in the war. Each army group consisted of ten infantry divisions, a cavalry brigade and a heavy artillery brigade.

Among them, the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 9th, 10th armies were equipped with an armored division.

The deployment and combat missions of each army group were that the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd armies were deployed in the Kingdom of the Netherlands and were responsible for launching an attack from the Kingdom of the Netherlands to the south. The 4th, 5th, and 6th armies were deployed in the eastern part of the Kingdom of Belis, attacking the Kingdom of Belisse from the Empire mainland. The 7th Army served as a reserve to defend the Empire’s border with Gaul. The 8th Army, as the general reserve, was ready to reinforce the eastern and western fronts. The 9th Army and the 10th Army were deployed in East Prussia and the eastern border of the Empire to defend against the Russian Empire.

Once the war broke out, the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd armies of the Imperial Army launched an attack from the Kingdom of Holland to the south, and the 4th, 5th, and 6th armies launched an attack from the mainland of the empire to the west, striving to annihilate the army of the Kingdom of Biliz in the shortest possible time, destroy the Kingdom of Bilis, and let the front advance to the northern part of Gaul! ”

Admiral Moltke Jr. introduced everyone.

August nodded, agreeing with the battle plan this time.

The German Imperial Army is to gather the main force into the battlefield of the Kingdom of Bilis, first solve this small country with a small land area and population, but strong industrial strength.

After that, they attacked Gaul in a big way to the south, pushing the war into Gaul territory.

“According to the information we have so far, the Kingdom of Biliz has begun a nationwide mobilization, although the entire Kingdom of Biliz has only a population of more than seven million. But they already plan to mobilize half a million troops to guard against our attack on the northern and eastern borders. In addition, the Gallic Army also gathered a large number of troops in the border area, ready to enter the territory of the Kingdom of Bilis. Even the expeditionary force of the Sun Never Set Empire is very likely to enter the territory of the Kingdom of Billies. At that time, we will probably face millions or more of the Entente troops.

I hope that in this battle, the Imperial Army does not need to blindly seek speed, and can take this opportunity to severely damage the main forces of the Gauls and the Sun Bu in the Kingdom of Biliz and surround them here. In this way, the northern part of Gaul can fall into our hands like ripe peaches. ”

August offered his opinion.
