Chapter 663： Tim blocking (1/2)

Just when everyone thought the Prussian-Russian war was deadlocked, on November 2, 1879, a general soldier suddenly bypassed Kamen and went straight to Pinsk.

After the outbreak of the Prussian-Russia war, Franz has been paying close attention, and occasionally sent airships to conduct high-altitude investigations.

Austria is the country with the most advanced airship technology. The most advanced reconnaissance airship can operate at a maximum altitude of 8000 meters.

These years, air defense weapons are still underdeveloped. As long as it is above 3,000 meters, there is no threat to anti-aircraft machine guns or artillery.

Without security threats, Austrian airships often penetrate deep into the airspace of other countries. Franz was not accustomed to this domineering style at first, but seeing that his neighbors did not react, he gradually got used to it.

At altitudes of several kilometers, if you don't use a telescope, many people will think that it is just a bird, and the chance of being found is still very low.

Even if it was discovered, it was possible to evade the pilot ’s trek. Anyway, this kind of thing often happens, especially the airships of small European countries, flying out of their own airspace.

The general's change attracted the attention of the pilots. After the report, it attracted the attention of the idle and boring Franz, and directly called the duty staff to meet.

”Everyone has read the information. What do you think of Mao Qi's purpose?”

No matter what reason Franz paid attention to this issue, everyone is very excited to be able to show their ability in front of the emperor.

Deputy Chief of General Morx: ”His Majesty, the real goal of the General Army should not be Pinsk, this may be distracting Russians.

Pinsk is located at the main channel of the river, about 180 kilometers from Brest, and it is already in the rear. It is a very bad choice for the military to go alone.

Even if the Russians were concealed and not discovered in advance, there was a regiment of troops in Pinsk, and even if they could not stop the offensive of the General Army, it would be fine to delay for a few days.

Once the surrounding Russian troops responded, this general army was dead. Unless they can overcome Pinsk in one day and rely on local fortifications for more than a month, they have strategic value.

There is too much risk in it. As a European star, it is impossible for Mao Qi to not know, then his real goal can only be Brest. ”

A staff member objected: ”It's not necessarily Brest. Maybe Maqui is the Pripyat. Of course, this possibility is very small. Now it is a dry season. Even if the river is blocked, the damage will also Not big.

I think the bigger possibility is just a sham shot, deliberately attracting the attention of the Russians, and covering the true strategy of the general army.

As far as it goes behind Brest, it looks great, but what's the use of just one infantry division? ”

...

The brains of the staff were really powerful. After a while, they analyzed a dozen possibilities, and Franz was directly confused.

No way, Franz is just an ordinary person. It is too difficult for him to figure out the strategic deployment of the military.

But Frederick, who came with him, was talking with the staff with interest. Perhaps his son had the talent to become a military strategist, Franz thought to himself.

Of course, you can only think about it. As the Austrian Crown Prince, Frederick had no chance to become a military strategist.

It is no longer the Middle Ages, and the era when the emperor led the battlefield is over. As the Crown Prince, even the battlefield is only gilded, there is no chance of his performance.

Frankly, Franz thinks it is more interesting to listen to the staff discussions than to read the newspaper. It is really as exciting as the novel.

Each of them is eloquent. If you can do it, you will not know until you try. It is theoretically feasible anyway.

The more he understood, the more Franz felt that luck was important and he no longer believed in the so-called famous halo. Just as the twenty-eight gimbals will add up, it is not as powerful as a meteorite.

...

The Russian-Prussian War is still deadlocked, and the South American battlefield has first turned. Since the departure of the British Navy, Peru and Bolivia have been tragedy.

The maritime passage is gone, and supplies can only be transferred from neighboring countries. At first, this was nothing. Everyone likes war money. Unfortunately, everyone's relationship is not good!

From the beginning of the establishment of South American countries, there have been many contradictions. If France and Austria come forward to coordinate, warn the ambitions to be a little bit safe, it is estimated that these countries have fallen into ruin at this time.

Foreign Minister Weissenberg: ”His Majesty, as of three days ago, the British had detained more than 200 ships bound for Peru and Bolivia, of which 45 were registered in China.

In order to break the British blockade, the Foreign Office suggested joining forces with the countries where the ships were located to put pressure on the British. ”

The one that should come is the one that will come. It is difficult to rely on Chile's strength to pick one or two.

If the maritime transport corridors in Bolivia and Peru are not cut off, and a steady flow of supplies will flow in, the two countries will be able to arm more troops than Chile.

With a small quality gap, the number of troops will determine the outcome of a war. In the early battles, Chile was actually at a disadvantage.
