Chapter 661： Willing (1/2)

The generals were operating, and the Russians were not idle. Perhaps it has learned the lessons of the last war, this time the Russians have to be more cautious.

No matter how the generals fought, they recognized Smolensk, and other areas were relying on the previously built fortifications.

From an onlooker's standpoint, the Russians were a bit strategically conservative, but had to admit it was the safest option.

Smolensk is the gateway to Moscow. Without winning here, the Russian army will not be able to move west at ease.

Anyone who has studied the General Army knows that they like to concentrate superior forces in decisive battles in local battlefields. Divided into joint strikes, rapid breakthroughs, outside battles and quick battles are their strengths.

In the last war, the Russians suffered a great deal, and now they must learn a lesson.

Steady play is undoubtedly the best choice. Concentrated forces in one direction focus on offensives, and other regions rely on fortifications. Even if the general forces concentrated their superior forces, it would be difficult to break through in a short time.

Defence is always more advantageous than offense. It is backed by a bunker fort. There is no two or three times the strength advantage. Under normal circumstances, it cannot be broken at all.

Vienna Palace, looking at the Russian military deployment plan, Franz frowned, the Russians were stable, but what about the Popo Federation?

A close fight is what Franz wants to see. Now the Russian army's tactics have no technical content, and are completely consumed with the Federation of Popo.

”Albrecht, how would you fight this war if you were in Mudgee's position?”

After a little thought, Albrecht picked up his baton a little on the map: ”Here is

Smolensk, located in the middle of the Eastern European Plains, is considered military gateway to Moscow.

In recent years, Russia and Russia have built many fortifications on the border, and Smolensk has gathered in fortifications.

If I command it, since the Russians are going to attack Smolensk, they will defend directly and use the fortifications to consume the strength of the Russian army.

The Russians defended in other areas, and the generals could also hold on. Anyway, winter is coming soon, and even if a breakthrough is made, there is no way to expand the results.

The issue of the decisive battle can be dragged until the beginning of next spring. At that time, the muddy road will be the biggest enemy of the Russian army. ”

After a pause, Albrecht added: ”Actually, in addition to the Army, you can also consider the Navy.

In recent years, the Russians, constrained by financial resources, have deserted the navy. Although the naval forces of the Commonwealth Federation did not work, they could turn to Britain and France for help.

Buy or lease a fleet and sneak attack on St. Petersburg. If you are lucky, you can end the war within the year.

It doesn't matter if the Tsarist government is not retained. The capital has been lost, and the frontline Russian army will certainly be turbulent.

In order to exchange for failure, the Tsarist government may change its previous strategy, ordering the frontline Russian troops to come to a decisive battle, and fighter planes will naturally appear. ”

Franz froze, and suddenly found that the Russians had such an obvious flaw, that he couldn't help but be surprised.

After calming down, Franz shook his head: ”Mauch would not do that, and the Junker aristocrats would not allow the glory of defeating the Russians to be given to the Navy.

A sneak attack on St. Petersburg requires close cooperation from the Army and Navy. The General Army did not conduct landing training. If it did not cooperate well, this plan would not be realized at all.

What's more, it is difficult to keep such a big purchase of the fleet. Even if the British and French cooperated with each other, they would be exposed when they entered the Baltic Sea, unless British and French sent troops in person. ”

The dispute between sea and land is an inevitable topic. Although the Army has an absolute advantage in the Popo Federation, the Navy also has supporters.

In the last wave of colonial expansion in the late 1950s, Prussia also set off a wave of naval development, and even built its own iron armored ship, opening up a colony in the Indochina Peninsula.

If it wasn't for the Army to take the lead and launch the second Putin war, which would cause the situation to get out of control, maybe the Kingdom of Prussia would become a new colonial empire.
