Chapter 697： Small fish (1/2)
The sudden and decisive battle not only disrupted the layout of the Vienna government, but also broke the British plan.
This world will always be ”the icing on the cake, it is difficult to deliver charcoal in the snow.” Russia and Russia have begun a decisive battle, and the London government is too late to help them pull their allies.
Pros and cons are human instincts, and international politics and diplomacy are no exception. After all, it is people who determine political diplomacy.
Whether it is the countries of Central Asia, the Ottoman Empire, or the German Federation, this time will choose to wait and see the situation.
If the Federation of Popo fails in the battle, the war will end prematurely, the Berlin government will not be able to organize a second battle, and the Russians will not leave them time.
At that point, even if these potential allies are not enough for the Russians, the results are the same whether they help or not.
If the Russians are defeated, then there is no need to say that the war will continue, but the strength and weakness will be transposed, and the war initiative will be reversed.
Everyone doesn't mind selling the icing on the cake to Imp, as in the first Russian-Prussian war, pounced on and tore off a piece of meat from the Russians.
No, the German Federation is an exception.
George I did not dare to accept the popular Popo Federation after the victory. Although there are few cases of usurpation in Europe, the system of imperial elections such as ”Comedy Empire” is an exception.
Of course, if Pope had won the battle, the British would not have promoted the merger. What the London government needs is a **** against Austria, not a rival.
...
As the battlefield moves west, winter is no longer snow and ice, which is another big challenge for Russia's logistics system. This can be seen from the deployment of the Russian army.
The southern line of troops closely follows the operation of Austria and is convenient for nearby supplies; the northern line has seaborne supplies that can be transported from St. Petersburg or can be purchased from the Nordic Federation; the Warsaw battlefield also has the Vistula and Narev rivers, which can be transported by water .
However, the Nalev River is mainly snow water, and the navigation time is limited every year. It will be frozen in two months, and the upstream and downstream can not be expected.
Ivanov has always opposed the launch of the Warsaw campaign, and has taken this into consideration. If the Vistula River was not in control, even if the Fourth Army stuffed it in, he would not have sent troops.
In this respect, the Russian army is more rational than in the first Russian-Prussian war. It sent troops without taking it for granted, making frontline soldiers hungry.
It takes time to mobilize the troops, especially the transfer of millions of troops.
”Binggui speed” is obviously not applicable here. It's not that the soldiers don't work hard. The key is to march with heavy materials. They can't get up fast if they want to.
The general forces fighting in this area have absolute advantages. The railway built by the Berlin government can play a role, and Mowchy took the lead in completing the deployment of troops.
General Command, looking at the march line marked on the map, Mao Qi sighed.
Ivanov is still the Ivanov he is familiar with, and he has used the word stability to the extreme. Except for the Fourth Army, which is greedy, the following troops are relying on it. The distance between the two troops is usually no more than Thirty miles.
The rapid march took only one morning, and in such a short time, it was difficult for him to do anything.
”Send our cavalry, transform into a small army to attack the enemy, and delay the marching speed of the other troops, but do not engage with the enemy.”
After a pause, Mao Qi added: ”The enemy's Fourth Army that has already been delivered to the door should be ignored. Let them in first.
Order the 7th and 8th Division to misunderstand the right wing; order the 5th and 7th Army to assemble immediately. I will start with the Russian advance troops. ”
Can not swallow the main force of the Russian army, it is also a good choice to eat the vanguard first. This is the limit that Mao Qi's mobile force can do.
War is more wrong than anyone else. Since the Russians made mistakes, it is naturally impossible for Mao Qi to let go.
Facts have proven once again that rushing for power on the battlefield is not necessarily a good thing. In case teammates fail to keep up, they will be tested by blood and fire.
The Russian Fourth Army, acting in advance, will now be tested. It seems that they only set off two days in advance, and the marching speed is not very fast. In fact, the time of their action with their teammates was staggered by at least five days.
It takes time for the General Command to make a decision, and it takes time to communicate the order. It takes even more time for the troops to go from the assembly to the middle of the operation.
Five days is enough to change a lot. Even if the Fourth Army's march was not fast, the nearest Russian army was pulled away more than 130 kilometers.
This distance, once the war broke out, even if the surrounding Russian troops tried their best to rescue them, it would be two days later.
In fact, this only exists in theory. Troops marching more than 130 kilometers existed within two days, but only if heavy and heavy weapons and equipment were discarded.
Without these possessions, and dragged a weary body, the combat effectiveness of the troops was directly lost to half. Not to mention the rescue, maybe they all came to give away.
No, the Russian cavalry will certainly be able to do it, it will not take two days, only one day is enough.
Perhaps it was some reliance that Lieutenant-General Oporto dared to venture into Warsaw.
Anyway, the decisive battle in advance is the demand of many people in China. As the initiator of the battle, Oporto in heaven has harvested a large wave of sentiment.
If military achievements are made again, it will be natural to replace Ivanov as the spokesperson of the Russian military in the future.
”risk”?
Why are there no risks this year? The Fourth Army, however, was strong and strong. With their strength, they could stick to the ground and wait for reinforcements to arrive.
