Vol 4 Chapter 84: German strategic change

The Royal Palace in Berlin, William II is holding a military conference, the trend of the world war is increasingly detrimental to the Allies.
Both East and West stalemates are deadlocked, which is very unfavorable for the Germans. They must break this situation as soon as possible.
Although Germany has always performed well in this war, the French were about to crash, but unfortunately something went wrong.
First, Bulgarian reinforcements arrived at the Western Front to help the French stabilize their defense. This is still a minor problem. William II believes that the French will still be dead as long as a period of time passes.
It's a pity that our allies can't hold back! At the last juncture, the Eastern Front again had a problem, forcing him to stop the offensive on the Western Front and send troops to reinforce the Eastern Front.
Now that the Allies are in a very dangerous situation, even if the Russian attack is blocked, the Austro-Hungarian Empire is greatly injured, and it is unable to face the military pressure of the two countries. & 1t; i> & 1t; / i>
Not to mention the Italians, the Confederates relied on them, and the Western Front was able to make a 1: 1 exchange than they were the biggest contributor!
Before the war broke out, according to the estimates of the German General Staff, although the navy of the Austro-Hungarian Empire and Italy joined forces in the Mediterranean, they were not as good as the Allies, but there was not much difference!
At least interrupting the maritime transport lines of the Allies is still possible, and the results have not yet begun.
The remnants of the Italian navy can now curl up in the harbor to lick wounds, and the Austrian-Hungarian navy naturally can only nest in the house to paddle.
Not to mention the 6th Army, Italy ’s biggest contribution since joining the war was to hold back hundreds of thousands of French troops. As for the record so far, there is no victory that can be achieved, and the best performance is only to hurt the enemy.
As for the remaining kingdoms of Montenegro, Romania, and the Ottoman Empire, the Germans have never regarded them as equal allies, and they are obviously role-shakers, so there is no need to have expectations. & 1t; i> & 1t; / i>
In the eyes of the Germans, the performance of the Ottomans has been level. While holding down hundreds of thousands of Russians, it has also held down half of Bulgaria's military forces. This has already accomplished its mission very well.
Well, since allies can't do it, go for it yourself! Anyway, the 6th Army of the German Army is invincible, let's kill Maozi before we talk!
Little Maoqi has left, and now the Chief of Staff of the 6th German Army is Lieutenant General Falkenhain (Note: There is also a translation of Falkenhausen). He is probably the only beneficiary of the German general's win in the Eastern Front. Already. However, he would rather not have this benefit!
"Her chief of staff, are you prepared to change your strategy?" William II asked in confusion.
Falkenhain replied affirmatively: "Yes, Your Majesty! The situation in the two fronts is very unfavorable to us, and we must get rid of this situation as soon as possible. & 1t; i> & 1t; / i>
After the division, it is difficult for us to make a breakthrough on the western front in the short term. The Austro-Hungarian Empire on the Eastern Front is now very injured, and they no longer have the ability to contain Russia and Bulgaria at the same time.
If we cannot resolve the Russians before the end of the war on the Asia Minor Peninsula in Bulgaria, there will also be problems on the southern front of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, and we cannot open a third front! "
William II nodded. He was not a military mistress. Naturally, he knew how much pressure the Eastern Front had now.
"Another 25 divisions will be transferred from the Western Front, will there be no problem?" William II asked
Falkenhain replied affirmatively: "No! After we adjust our forces, we will change our current combat plan, and the western front will stop attacking and conduct comprehensive defense.
Although the Allies have military advantages, their combat effectiveness cannot be compared with ours. If they take the initiative to attack, they may have unexpected gains. & 1t; i> & 1t; / i>
Moreover, the duration of this Eastern Front operation will not be very long. It is expected that the main force of the Russian 6 Army will be severed within two to three months and the Russians will be forced to withdraw from the war! "
William II nodded and expressed his acquiescence. In fact, if the Italian army was added, the strength of the Allies and Allies on the Western Front was almost the same.
It ’s just that the combat effectiveness of the Italian 6th Army has always been a mystery. Their swing problem is really amazing. Occasionally, they can still fight the enemy with a half-pound, but most of the time they are very encouraging. Naturally, they dare not hold them. There are expectations.
...
As soon as the Germans moved, the good times for the bears ended. The offensive and defensive trend of the Eastern Front has now been reversed. The reason is very funny, and the Russians have problems with logistics.
After the winter offensive, the Russian army consumed most of its ammunition and forage. In the three days after the start of the general offensive, the Russian artillery ran out of artillery shells originally planned to be used for two weeks. Since then, the Russian artillery has been in a "semi-hungry" state lacking shells. & 1t; i> & 1t; / i>
In this context, it's no wonder that nothing goes wrong. In fact, the Russian logistics system has done a very good job.
With their poor traffic, they can barely guarantee the consumption of millions of troops on the front line, which is entirely due to the reform of the Chief of General Staff Vladimir Alexandrovich Suhomlinov.
After taking office, he accomplished the following feats:
First, shortening the mobilization time of the army;
Second, realize the scientific and technological progress of the army;
Third, revive the morale of the Russian army after the defeat of Manchuria;
Fourth, improve the logistics support system and reinforcement organization of the 6th Army in wartime.
He cut too many fortress garrisons, formed heavy artillery companies, balloon soldiers, and radio communications agencies with the army cut down. In addition, he formed 6 additional divisions. & 1t; i> & 1t; / i>
He doubled the number of machine guns, increased the annual enlistment by 250,000, increased the number of officers, and improved the food and clothing of Russian soldiers.
It was also his reform that enabled the Russians to mobilize quickly at the beginning of the World War, and opened the road to suicide.
Well, Romania's premature completion also created conditions for the Russians to supply, at least the Southwestern Army could obtain supplies directly from Bulgaria through Romania.
...
"Your Majesty, this is the Russian telegram again!" Said Foreign Minister Metiev sadly.
Ferdinand took the telegram, and the more he frowned, the more appetizing the Russians were.
"Tell the Russians that we are powerless, the materials promised by Britain and France have not yet arrived, and we cannot provide them with so many strategic materials!" Ferdinand said dissatisfied with & 1t; i> & 1t; / i>
What a joke, if given according to the list, Ferdinand is a fool!
10 million bullets, 1 million rifles, 1ooo cannons, 50,000 tons of artillery shells, 50,000 tons of tents, 3ooo tons of medicine ...
These strategic materials have already accounted for half of Bulgaria's total reserves. No matter what conditions the Tsarist government imposes, Ferdinand cannot agree.
These supplies were promised to the Russians by Britain and France, but unfortunately the routes of the Mediterranean were not so safe due to the recent active submarines of the ally.
Last month, the Allied nations in the Mediterranean region passed 120,000 tons of sunken ships. If the Atlantic Ocean is added, the number has approached 40 million tons.
Even if the Allies are big and big, they can't afford such consumption! In order to ensure the safety of the routes, the navy of the Allied Forces had to increase their efforts. Even so, the losses were still very serious.
In this context, it is not surprising that the goods promised by Britain and France did not arrive on time. As for advancing supplies for the British and French? Ferdinand said he could not believe the credibility of Britain and France!
Even if the British and French can fulfill their promise ~ EbookFREE.me ~, they have to be shipped! Now Germany, Austria, and Italy all started to build submarines like dumplings. Everyone knows that the later the later, the more difficult this material transportation will be!
What about Russians? Ferdinand said that the fur is thick and durable, and it is okay to stand up to the three axes of the ally!
It doesn't matter if they can't stand it, they can just retreat! It's almost time to reach Vienna, far from St. Petersburg!
It ’s a big deal to pick up the railway and pull back five hundred miles directly. If the Germans still dare to chase, then five hundred miles away, do n’t believe that the Germans dare to chase down!
For space and time, and for another year and a half, the material assistance promised by Britain and France will basically be in place. Then we will teach the Germans to be human again!
