Germanic Empire: Please call me Wilhelm III

“Your Excellency Foreign Secretary, on behalf of the Empire, you travel to Berlin to congratulate the Germanic Empire on its victory on the Western Front. Moreover, ask them to launch an attack on the Russian Empire as soon as possible to relieve the huge pressure on the empire! Franz Joseph I said.

“Yes, Your Majesty!” The Foreign Secretary, Count Belhedotus, replied.

“Gentlemen, the empire is now facing great difficulties. However, we are already seeing the light of victory. Our allies are about to launch a large-scale offensive on the Eastern Front, and we are about to launch a large-scale counterattack to defeat the Tsarists, recover the lost territories and invade the territory of the Russian Empire! In the end, victory will inevitably be ours! Franz Joseph I said.

“Yes, Your Majesty!” The top brass of Austria-Hungary replied.

For a while, everyone seemed to forget that Austria-Hungary had just suffered a crushing defeat, and the fighting spirit once again became high.

After the meeting, Franz Joseph I again kept Archduke Karl.

“Karl, you seem to be very dissatisfied with the Germanic Empire?” Franz Joseph I asked.

“Yes, Your Majesty. The Germans did not consider us allies at all, they used us as cannon fodder! They have gained so much from Gaul that they are not prepared to share it with us. We dragged down the Russian Empire for them and paid such heavy losses, should they turn a blind eye? Archduke Karl looked disgruntled.

“Karl, the Germanic behavior is indeed very infuriating. However, you must always remember that if you want to benefit, you must be strong enough. Without sufficient strength, others will not respect you! Now, the empire is weak, and the Germanic empire is extremely powerful. We must maintain as good a cooperative relationship with the Germanic Empire as possible. Franz Joseph I said.

Archduke Karl nodded, he knew that Franz Joseph I was right.

“Your Majesty, I know!” Archduke Karl replied.

“Well, I won’t live long anymore, and I don’t want the empire to fall apart after my death. I hope that you can grow up as soon as possible. The future of the empire still needs to be grasped by you! Franz Joseph I continued.

“Yes, Your Majesty!” Archduke Karl knew that he was only one step away from the throne of Austria-Hungary.

Once the old man in front of him hangs up, he will be able to succeed to the throne and become emperor.

This made him secretly excited in his heart, but also a little worried.

Austria-Hungary has so many problems, if he becomes emperor, he can really control Austria-Hungary, can solve the internal problems of Austria-Hungary, and at the same time can make Austria-Hungary more powerful.

But Archduke Karl also knew that if something went wrong in Austria-Hungary under his rule, it would undoubtedly give others an opportunity.

For example, the Germanic emperor August had great ambitions for Austria-Hungary.

Archduke Karl swore in his heart that he would not let August succeed, and would never let the Germanic Empire annex Austria-Hungary.

Germanic Empire, Berlin, General Staff.

The surrender of Gaul and the great victory of the Germanic Empire on the Western Front certainly benefited the Germanic Empire. But at the same time, the top brass of the Germanic Empire also knew that this was only the first victory of the empire.

Next, the Empire will continue to fight bravely and defeat the rest of the enemies one by one. In this way, the final victory of this war can be won.

“Gentlemen, the Imperial Army won on the Western Front. Then, the main goal of the empire will be on the eastern front. What are the plans of the General Staff for this? August asked.

“Your Majesty, the Empire plans to retain five army groups on the Western Front, on the one hand, to guard against the sun. On the other hand, it is to maintain stability in the occupied territories. The rest of the troops will be transferred back to the mainland for a month-long rest. Then, gradually plunge into the battlefield on the Eastern Front and defeat the Russian Empire in one fell swoop! The Chief of the General Staff, Marshal Moltke Jr., replied.

August nodded, the Germanic Imperial Army’s troops on the Western Front, there were fourteen army groups, leaving five on the Western Front, and nine more to put into the Eastern Front.

In addition, six army groups had been assembled on the Eastern Front before, and the Germanic Empire could then put fifteen army groups on the Eastern Front, with more than three million people.

This is already a very rare big deal for the Germanic Empire, which has a total strength of only more than four million.

Even the Germanic Empire did not use so many troops when dealing with the Sun and the Gauls.

“The Russian Empire was vast and had many plains. When the empire launched an attack on the Russian Empire, it could put in as many mechanized troops as possible. Of course, the transportation facilities in the Russian Empire were very bad, which made it very difficult for the imperial army to launch an attack on the Russian Empire. These problems need to be overcome! August said.

“Yes, Your Majesty!” Marshal Moltke replied.

“Your Majesty, the Empire is ready to leave the 1st, 13th, 16th, 17th and 18th Armies on the battlefield on the Western Front. The remaining 2nd , 3rd , 4th , 5th , 6th , 7th , 8th , 19th , and 20th Armies were transferred home to rest and prepare for operations on the Eastern Front. War Minister Marshal von Falkenhein said.

“It can be arranged like this, appoint General Kluk as the commander-in-chief of the Western Front, responsible for commanding the five army groups on the Western Front!” August said.

Next, the Germanic Empire will also promote a group of field marshals, the commander of the 1st Army, General Kluke, naturally among them.

“Yes, Your Majesty!” Marshal Moltke Jr. and Marshal von Falkenhein answered.

“Then, folks, the next goal of the empire is to crush the Russian Empire with all its might. Defeating the Russian Empire, the Empire would be able to become the hegemon on the European continent. Even, we don’t have to completely defeat the Russian Empire, as long as we keep hitting them hard. Then, a series of contradictions in the Tsarist Russian Empire will erupt. Strong fortresses, often starting to crumble from within. And the Russian Empire, in particular! August said with a smile.

The Germanic Empire has been fully supporting the Russian Empire’s Bu Party and strengthening their strength.

The Bu Party had always aimed to overthrow the Tsar’s rule. Once the Russian Empire suffered a crushing defeat in the war, this was an opportunity for the party!

At that time, once the Russian Empire had civil strife, the Germanic Empire would naturally be able to win easily.
