Chapter 393： Decisive battle (2/2)
Winter is coming, and the battle is over. No matter what, they must fight each other and give an explanation to the conservatives in the country. ”
Franz began to mourn for the Russian troops at the front. Even if they win the war, they will suffer heavy losses; if they lose the war, the losses will naturally be even greater.
It is estimated that Alexander II chose to fight at this time. If the battle is decided two months earlier, if the enemy loses the war and can drive straight ahead, they will suffer heavy losses.
It doesn't matter now, many regions of the Russian Empire have already entered winter. It is estimated that the battle will be completed in November and February. Attacking Russia in this season is definitely tiring.
Since the tsarist government was not in danger, the losses of the Russian army were not under Franz's consideration, and a decision was made immediately.
”Delivering as fast as possible and giving away another million bullets to the Russians shows our position.”
The use of Austrian equipment by the Russians is not unhelpful, because Austria has long unified the caliber of ammunition. Now even if the Russian army is reloading, the bullets can still be used universally, and there is no need to worry about the joke that the wrong bullet was delivered.
...
The efficiency of the Vienna government is still very high. In just two days, 300,000 rifles were drawn from the reserve equipment and sent to the border between Russia and Austria as quickly as possible.
Such a big movement could not be hidden at all. After receiving the news, Mao Qi, the chief commander of the Prussian army, made a decisive decision-first to start.
On October 2, 1865, before the Russians changed their clothes, the Allied forces launched a comprehensive counterattack against Russian forces in East Prussia, Belarus, and Ukraine.
The decisive battle broke out in advance, and the eyes of all European countries gathered on this battle.
If the Russians win, then there is no doubt that the kingdom of Prussia will be finished; if the Pope coalition wins, the European structure will be reshuffled.
In Sweden, Carl XV did not hesitate to reject the proposal of the Kingdom of Prussia: a joint plan against the Russians.
Although Sweden was also anti-Russian, it stood on the opposite side of the Russians in the Near East War and supported the Anglo-French Ottoman alliance, but it did not mean that they liked Prussia.
When the Pudan war broke out, Karl XV was preparing to send troops to assist Danish defense Schleswig and curb the ambition of the expansion of the Kingdom of Prussia.
In addition to worrying about dying lips, it is also related to the pan-Scandinavianism that prevailed in this era.
(Pan Scandinavian proposition: Nordic united nations. Launched in Skåne in the 1840s and peaked in the mid-19th century. Sweden and Norway have established a Swedish-Norwegian alliance under the signing of the Kiel Treaty , It's just Denmark.)
Carl XV is one of the supporters of this plan, he has always wanted to merge Denmark, Sweden and Norway into one country. He wouldn't mind having Finland join if possible.
During the first Putin war, Sweden had sent troops to help the Kingdom of Denmark, but the response was slowed. When they arrived, the Russians had already stepped in and did not participate in the war.
In the Putin war, Karl XV also prepared to send troops to interfere. Unfortunately, Denmark failed too quickly. Many people in Sweden opposed the troop and interfered without any problems. Pan-Scandinavianism was also hit hard.
It is not without reason that Prussians want to win Sweden into the war. The hatred of Sweden and the Russian Empire has a long history, and relations between the two have been very bad.
There are Finns who already want to get rid of Russian rule. They have suggested that as long as Sweden helps them to become independent, they are willing to join Sweden.
Internationally, the British are also striving to promote the Puri alliance. The London government has long promised that they support Sweden's annexation of Finland.
The Paris government also hopes that Sweden annexes Finland, can stab Russia, and is willing to help them.
For the sake of weakening the Russians, even the Vienna government is willing to provide loans to Sweden. It can be said that the entire European continent wants to see the Russians unlucky.
Now that the Tsarist government has shown signs of fatigue, the main force of the Russian army has been contained on the front line. Finns have responded. Sweden has a very high success rate in capturing Finland.
Both Finland and Sweden are easy to defend and difficult to attack, and even if the Russians want to counterattack in the future, it will be difficult to obtain results.
So much good news cannot hide the fact that the Russians are too powerful.
