Germanic Empire: Please call me Wilhelm III

The commander-in-chief of the Eastern Front of the Germanic Imperial Army, Emperor August, was listening to the presentation of the operational plan of the Eastern Front Command.

The Minister of War Marshal von Falkenhein, the Chief of the General Staff, Marshal Moltke Jr., also accompanied August to inspect the situation on the Eastern Front.

“Your Majesty, the Imperial Army has now assembled 6 armies on the Eastern Front, namely the 9th Army, the 10th Army, the 11th Army, the 12th Army, the 14th Army and the 15th Army. However, the Imperial Tsarist Army opposite us, the army assembled in its northwest region alone, that is, the Northwest Army Group of the Tsarist Imperial Army, already has three million men. Moreover, the Russian Empire continued to increase its troops on the front line. It is expected that in half a month, the total strength of the Northwest Army Group of the Tsarist Imperial Army will exceed 3.5 million people! With the current forces of the Imperial Army on the Eastern Front, there was no problem at all in defending the Tsars. However, it is relatively difficult to take the initiative to attack! Marshal Hindenburg said.

“Within half a month, the Imperial Army will gradually mobilize troops to reinforce the Eastern Front. It is initially expected that we will send six army groups to reinforce the Eastern Front, bringing the number of armies on the Eastern Front to 12. Three other armies, as reserves. August said.

“Yes, Your Majesty. However, after the army groups on the Eastern Front were as many as 12 armies, we hoped to be able to divide these forces into three army groups in order to prepare for command and respond to the enemy and operations in different directions. Marshal Hindenburg said.

August thought about it, and after whispering a few words with Marshal Moltke Jr. and Marshal von Falkenhein, he agreed to the proposal.

“Yes, divide the troops on the Eastern Front into Army Group A, Army Group B and Army Group C.” August said.

Subsequently, Marshal Hindenburg and Marshal Moltke Jr. discussed the transfer of those troops to form these three army groups.

In the end, it was decided that Army Group A would consist of the 2nd Army, 8th Army, 14th Army and 19th Army, with the commander of the 2nd Army, Marshal Bilo, as the commander of Army Group Group.

Army Group B consisted of the 9th Army, 10th Army, 11th Army and 12th Army and consisted of Marshal Hindenburg, commander-in-chief of the Eastern Front and commander of the 9th Army, who concurrently served as commander of Army Group Group. At the same time, Marshal Hindenburg was able to restrain the other two army groups.

Army Group C consisted of the 3rd Army, 7th Army, 15th Army and 20th Army, with the commander of the 3rd Army, General Ludendorff, as commander.

The other 4th, 5th, and 6th Armies served as reserves, ready to be deployed on the Eastern Front.

The combat mission of each army group was that Army Group A launched an attack in the direction of Petersburg from East Prussia and with the fire support of the naval fleet.

Army Group B launched an eastward attack from the Bolan region, targeting Mosk.

Army Group C cooperated with Army Group B to bypass the flank of the Northwest Army Group of the Tsarist Army, preparing to encircle and annihilate the main forces of the Northwest Army Group of the Tsarist Russian Army and completely solve them. Once victorious, Army Group C moved south to cooperate with Austria-Hungary.

After all, Austria-Hungary suffered a lot of losses in this battle. Even most of their land has fallen.

Although Austria-Hungary has a bit of a feeling that the mud cannot support the wall.

However, he is his own ally!

The Germanic Empire naturally could not see death without salvation.

August was satisfied and recognized by the operational plan drawn up by the Eastern Front Theater Command.

“I hope that this time in the attack on the Russian army, we will not pay too much attention to the gains and losses of one city and one place. Our goal is to annihilate the living forces of the Russian army, and this is the most important thing!

Although, the population of the Russian Empire was large, the army was extremely large, and there were many troops that could be mobilized. However, for their industry, it is still not so easy to quickly mobilize troops in armed force. As soon as they lost too many troops, the troops in the rear simply did not have time to replenish. Even if they had enough troops, they would not have enough weapons to arm them.

After the Ottoman Empire became an ally of the empire, the Russian Empire could no longer obtain assistance from the sun through the Dardanelles and the Black Sea. Supplies can only be received through the North Atlantic route and the Far East.

The North Atlantic route was attacked by the Imperial Navy’s broken fleets and submarines, and the losses were great. And the materials of the Far East, even if they are already piling up in Vladivostok. However, the capacity of the Trans-Siberian Railway was very limited, and they could not transport materials from the Far East to Europe.

Therefore, as long as we continue to annihilate the main forces of the Tsarist Russians, they will inevitably not be able to bear it! ”

August offered his opinion.

The military officials of the Germanic Empire nodded their heads one after another, and everyone agreed with this view.

After all, the Russian Empire was an extremely large country. It is simply unrealistic to quickly occupy the territories of the Russian Empire and thus destroy them.

Only through one big war after another, constantly annihilating the army of the Russian Empire, so that the Russian Empire could no longer continue the war.

In this way, it is possible to make the Russian Empire bow its head and admit defeat.

Of course, it will take a little longer to do so.

But there’s no way around it!

History has proven that it is simply unrealistic to quickly defeat the Russian Empire.

Napoleon the Great had already failed, and even if he captured Mosk, he still lost the winter of the Russian Empire.

The other mustache, too. Even with the world’s invincible blitzkrieg, it was not able to defeat Tsarist Russia. Instead, the Russians traded space for time and successfully consumed the mustache’s mechanized troops.

So August didn’t want to repeat the mistakes of the past.

What’s more, August had other expectations.

There were great contradictions within the Russian Empire, and the Bu Party was fanning the flames everywhere and provoking popular anger against the Russian Empire.

In the event of a crushing defeat on the front line, the army of the Tsarist Empire was defeated by the Germanic Empire. Then the entire Russian Empire would be in turmoil.

It is also very likely that the Burundian Party will take advantage of the opportunity to start an incident. At that time, the Russian Empire would face civil war.

Under such circumstances, the Germanic Empire was naturally able to reap the profits and win this battle.

The operational plan submitted by the Eastern Front Command of the Germanic Empire was approved by August. At the same time, this battle plan was also named ‘Bear Slaughter Plan’.
