Chapter 686: Mochis grand plan (1/2)
After the beginning of spring, smoke from the Eastern European battlefield pervaded again. After a winter preparation, the situation is quite different.
The Berlin government organized a large number of castle strongholds in the border area, and the movement of the Cossack cavalry was restricted. If you want to plunder your goods, you must storm the castle fortress.
The combat effectiveness of Cossack cavalry is based on interests. The people are ready, the difficulty of robbery is constantly increasing, and the casualties and gains paid in many cases are not proportional, and the enthusiasm of the Cossack cavalry has also been hit.
Active and passive, the combat effectiveness erupted is very different.
Although the Cossack cavalry was still deployed, the results achieved were getting smaller and smaller. Many times they just destroy farmland and infrastructure, and soldiers are unwilling to pinch their bones.
It is no longer the Middle Ages. As long as you have money in your pocket, there are many places to buy food. Only the farmland in the border area is damaged, and the Berlin government can afford it.
To a certain extent, William I would also like to thank the Tsarist government. It was this harsh method of the Russians that made the Polish have to rely on them.
The decline in Cossack cavalry's destructive power does not mean that the tsarist strategy of the Tsarist government has failed.
Humans are vulnerable to war. In order to avoid the war, many people in the border areas have dragged their families to run inland, and many areas have become uninhabited areas.
It is not that the Berlin government has not stopped, the problem is that it cannot be done at all. Groups of fugitives running to the rear still imposed a heavy economic burden on the Berlin government.
The coastal areas suffered the most damage. Most of the port cities of the Federation of Popo were destroyed by artillery fire. Very few surviving cities were shaking.
These are only minor problems. Since the Danish blockade of the strait, the maritime traffic line of the Federation of Popo has almost broken, and the strategic value of port cities has been greatly reduced.
Worst of all, the Russians supplemented the loss of troops on the southern front, Mochi ’s plan to conquer Kiev went bankrupt, and now the Tsarist government uses the most conservative strategy and fights against the Federation of Popo.
Steady and steady, simple hard-to-find, the general army could not give play to its tactical advantage. Even a famous player like Mao Qi could not reverse the battlefield and develop in a direction that was not conducive to the Federation of Popo.
The bad situation on the battlefield has affected the domestic atmosphere of the Commonwealth Federation, and anti-war voices have emerged from time to time. Even the most optimistic people are worried about this war.

William I growled, ”We have lost 300,000 troops to the present, but we have achieved very few results.
You promised me three months to win the war. Now three months and three months have passed, and the third and third months are over. There is no sign of victory.
Who can tell me how much it will cost to win this war? ”
It is not that William I did not support enough, it is really the recent pressure. The performance of the general forces on the battlefield far fell short of expectations.
The so-called ”winning the war in three months” is actually just Maoqi's southern plan. In theory, as long as the trade line between Russia and Russia is cut off, they will win more than half of this war.
Unfortunately, the combat effectiveness of the Russian army is much stronger than they expected. Maybe it is not as good as the general in the field, but the defense is still fine.
Mao Qi's painstakingly designed strategic plan is not a problem in itself, but it uses the wrong object. If you change to another country and kill hundreds of thousands of troops at one time, it will definitely hurt your muscles.
Regrettably, when encountering a bear, the speed of annihilating the enemy was a little bit faster than that of the Tsarist government. With a winter buffer, the tsarist government not only replenished its lost troops, but also increased its total strength.
Mao Qi stubbornly replied: ”His Majesty, the Russians are completely wounded in their own right, and the casualties of the Russian army are even greater than ours. In this way, even if the Russians can win the war, they will only be defeated.
Now that the Russians have the upper hand on the battlefield, there is absolutely no need for the Tsarist government to choose a game that does both.
As long as we reveal flaws at the right time, the Russian army will definitely not give up the opportunity. Once the Russians adjust their tactics, our opportunity comes.
In order to win this war, I suggest that some areas can be abandoned when necessary, and the Russians should be lured out of the fortifications first. ”
Involving millions of people and hundreds of kilometers of front, it is also very difficult to make tactical adjustments. The cooperation between the various forces alone will be ”moving.”
