Vol 4 Chapter 91: , Cavalry vs steel

Ferdinand still knows nothing about the upcoming internal struggle in Russia, which is also one of the impacts of his butterfly effect on the world.
Due to the rise of Bulgaria, the Russian Empire’s external material transportation channels have not been cut off, and the Russian army’s tolerance for domestic capitalists has not been so high.
If there is no choice, then, now that there are better choices, why should they allow these capitalists to exploit them?
This is not just a question of money. It can be solved by bribery. Problems with weapons and equipment are directly related to victory or defeat on the battlefield, and also to everyone's life safety.
In this regard, the young officers below must certainly not tolerate them. This time, the Air Force took the lead in attacking the capitalists. Isn't this because the Russian Air Force has been established for a short time and is a gathering place for young officers?
It was their promotion that forced the senior officials of the Air Force to come forward. Since the Air Force dares to come forward, can the Army and Navy not keep up?
Obviously, these high-level generals are not fools. If anyone dares to stand up and speak for the capitalists, he must be careful about whether he will be shot on the battlefield.
Even after receiving the money, now I have to turn my face and deny the people, and show to my subordinates that I and everyone are firmly opposed to these unscrupulous capitalists!
Perhaps Lieutenant General Nikolai-Nicolas Okas hadn't thought of so much when he was seeking a complaint from the Tsar, otherwise he would not be so worried.
But Nicholas II was a man of understanding, and he still had some political awareness. He knew that after the capitalists and the guns were on the line, the result was doomed, so he clearly expressed his support for the air force.
As the Tsar can control the Russian Empire, Nicholas II may not have enough military literacy, but the level of political struggle is at least 90 points. In this respect, he is much stronger than Ferdinand's scum.
"Are you all ready?" Nicholas II asked
The middle-aged man said confidently: "Your Majesty, please rest assured, everything is under control! They all happily accepted the order and are organizing production!"
As an emperor, knowing that the military is about to clashed with the capitalists, if he doesn't do something, is he still a qualified emperor?
Obviously, Nicholas II was about to cheat people, and he seemed to plan to follow Ferdinand's example and clean up the domestic worms, but unfortunately he couldn't find a suitable bearer, and he didn't dare to carry the pot.
The most important thing is that without this ability to execute, the influence of the nobles and capitalists on Russia has already penetrated into every corner, and it is not comparable to the newborn Bulgaria!
Therefore, I can only make a small fuss and use the military to kill a few political opponents, which is also a good choice for Nicholas II.
As long as the interested people pay a little attention, they will find that the capitalists and nobles who usually dance the most to open a parliament or have exposed democratic republican ideas are among them.
The Russian Empire has already begun to surging, and only waiting for the military to attack collectively, this group of people will die without a place to die!
...
In Poland, a funny battle that shocked the world is taking place at this time-Russian cavalry vs German armored vehicles!
The courageous and fearless Cossack cavalry, after receiving the order of General Alexei Alekseyevich Brusilov, went to Poland to block the German army.
Under normal circumstances, it is very suitable for cavalry on the Polish Great Plains. Unfortunately, the current situation is not normal. The Germans have used steel plates to wrap the cars as armored vehicles.
Lieutenant Colonel Mazak, the commander of the Second Cavalry Regiment of the Eighth Cavalry Division, is a very typical Cossack "warrior" who fought and rushed towards the enemy.
To put it simply, it is a completely reckless man. Except for slashing at the sight of the enemy, the formation of troops and command operations are all through the seven faculties, but the last one is not through.
Mazak was leading the army in search of the enemy, and the sentry suddenly came back and reported: "Regiment Commander, there seems to be an enemy transport team in front. There are about three or four hundred people in front of him. Shall we give him a vote?"
The Cossack cavalry had always made a living by robbery, and they would have starved to death if they waited for the Tsarist government's military pay.
Now encountering the enemy's transport team, Lieutenant Colonel Mazak said without hesitation: "What the is that? Lead the way directly and get a vote!"
Then they took the troops and arrogantly went to rob the German "transportation team."
It was supposed to be a joke made in World War II: "Polish cavalry launched a charge on German tanks"! Now the Cossacks have taken the lead. They charged the German army, but it was a pity that the armored vehicles that suddenly appeared to meet them.
Of course, don't expect these Cossack cavalry who just came out of the tribe to be able to distinguish the difference between transport vehicles and armored vehicles. In their opinion, are they all iron bumps?
The result is self-evident. For a while, flesh and blood flew on the battlefield, but it was a pity that they were all Cossack cavalry. The facts proved that flesh and blood were no match for the torrent of steel.
Of course, this joke is over soon, and fools are only a minority. Except that the head of the terrapin led his soldiers to make a joke and lost his life, the Cossack cavalry behind all learned this lesson of blood.
However, Ferdinand believes that it is the Germans who have not enough armored vehicles, and the chance they encounter is too small, otherwise such jokes will continue to emerge.
After all, the ignorant is fearless. You can't expect an army that most soldiers have never seen before, to be able to figure out the difference between armored vehicles and ordinary transport vehicles!
This episode passed quickly, and the Russian cavalry delayed the German marching speed, and that was all.
In the era of hot weapons, on the vast plains, it is not so easy for cavalry to deal with infantry. The most important thing is that you can't rush forward. It's okay to harass the German army.
Therefore, Admiral Alexei Alexeyevich Brusilov is destined to be disappointed. The Cossack cavalry is not as powerful as he imagined. At least they don't have much room to play against the Germans.
That's all, it delayed the German marching speed anyway, and bought time for him to deploy troops.
But another bad news came. Alexei Alekseyevich Brusilov asked in disbelief: "What? The North Front is asking us for help?"
In terms of strength, the North Front has the largest number and the strongest firepower. Under normal circumstances, their total strength of more than two million is sufficient to deal with any unexpected situation.
The staff explained: "Yes, General! General Alexei Andreevich Bolivanov personally sent a telegram asking for help, stating that the Germans had launched a full-scale offensive against them and that the North Front’s line of defense was already Can't stop it!"
Alexei Alekseyevich Brusilov couldn’t help thinking of two words in his mind: "Rice bucket!"
There are enough troubles for the Western Front. Where can they go to rescue them? It is no wonder that Alexei Alekseyevich Brusilov is about to get angry. The main German army is still on his side. He has not called for help yet, and as a result, the North Front can't stand it.
In fact, he wronged the North Front. It was not that their soldiers were not brave in battle, nor were their officers indiscriminately commanding. It was completely inadequate logistical supplies, insufficient weapons and ammunition, insufficient food, and insufficient medicines. They lacked almost all strategic materials. !
No way, who told them to attack East Prussia? During the Winter Battle, both the Western Front and the Southwest Front entered the hinterland of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, and the Western Front also occupied part of German Poland.
But the North Front Army was hard pressed. They only pushed the front a dozen miles forward and were beaten back by the Germans. Even if they wanted to eat the enemy, they had to fight in!
That's all, the most important thing is that they have suffered a loss in the distribution of logistical materials. The materials aided by the Allies passed through the defense zone of the Southwest Front Army, and then entered the defense zone of the Western Front, and finally arrived in their hands.
The result is self-evident, everyone is not a fool, the good stuff was picked up in the front, leaving them all crooked!
Not right, at least the high-quality rifles and artillery provided by Britain and France were mostly given to them, but unfortunately they are now weapons without ammunition!
Therefore, among all the Russian troops on the Eastern Front, the North Front has the least weapons and ammunition, and the per capita food reserves are also the lowest, and other strategic materials are still the shortest!
In this state, their very combat effectiveness can show up to five points, it is against the sky! Don't look at their soldiers holding all new rifles, but unfortunately there are no bullets and can only be used as fire sticks.
It is natural for them to be unable to withstand the German counterattack. After all, the soldiers have no bullets, except for bayonet, they can only run away or surrender!
Regardless of the choice, the result is the same-the position cannot be held!
Alexei Alekseyevich Brusilov said with a sullen face: "Tell them that our Western Front has nothing to do. The Germans have torn open our defenses. We are closing the gap and we have no ability. Help them!"
"Yes!" replied the staff officer who took the telegram
Now the Western Front is really helpless, not only is they also having a hard time for the Southwest Front next door.
The limelight is not so good. As the most brilliant Russian army in the winter offensive, it is naturally the army with the largest casualties. A large number of veteran casualties have been replaced by recruits, and the combat effectiveness has plummeted.
They caught up with the counteroffensive of the Allied powers. Even if they were only facing the main force of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, they still suffered heavy casualties and had to start shrinking their defenses.
In this context, everyone is overwhelmed. What can they do to help the friendly forces? In the end, the ball still played to the Supreme Command of Russia, and Nicholas II's good mood suddenly disappeared.
The current situation is already very bad, even if he orders the entire army to retreat now, he can't withdraw. UU reading www.uukanshu.com
The German-Austrian coalition forces are right in front of them. If they dared to retreat, if the Germans came and suddenly became defeated, they would be wronged.
So now the line of defense must be guarded. Even if the line of defense is contracted, it must be done slowly, so that the enemy cannot find any flaws!
Nicholas II asked with a headache: "What plan does the General Staff have to change the current unfavorable situation?"
Now Nicholas II suddenly regretted being the supreme commander in person. He found that his military capabilities were really not enough, at least he could not solve the current situation!
Chief of Staff Mikhail Vasilyevich Alekseyev said embarrassingly: "Your Majesty, the frontline problem is mainly the lack of logistical supplies. Unless we can solve the frontline logistical supplies, we cannot change the current situation. The dilemma!"
Nicholas II said dissatisfiedly: "Then we don't have to do anything now? Just wait for the defeat on the front line quietly?"
Mikhail Vasilievich Alekseyev bit his head and said: "Of course not. Now, in addition to transporting supplies to the front as much as possible, we must continue to mobilize to prevent accidents!"
Obviously his answer did not satisfy Nicholas II. This is undoubtedly telling him: prepare for the aftermath, the front line has been defeated!
"Is there no other way?" Nicholas II turned his attention to the Secretary of the Army, hoping that he would have a good way.
Unfortunately, the answer of Vladimir Alexandrovich Sukhomlinov, the Secretary of the Army, was destined to disappoint him.
"Your Majesty, there is no way, but the near thirst cannot be quenched far away, so let's start a nationwide mobilization immediately!"
Obviously, the Secretary of the Army has a more pessimistic attitude. He believes that the Russian army on the front line will not last long, and the war with no ammunition and food will be impossible to continue!
