Compared to the wailing in the French army camp, the situation of the coalition forces is quite different.
A meteor shower in the sky, a series of bursts on the ground... The specific results have not yet been counted, but the French corpses on the ground are enough to explain many problems.
Witnessing all these coalition officers and soldiers with their own eyes, there are only two words in their minds-”slaughter”.
Whether it is an air battle in the sky or an offensive and defensive battle on the ground, it is the unilateral slaughter of the French by the Austrian army.
The mental outlook of the coalition officers and soldiers who were originally disorganized and unstable in morale, and who were confused about the prospects of the war, had a new look.
...
Allied Command
Adrian Adrian eagerly tried to test: ”Marshal, the French army suffered heavy losses during the day's battle. It will certainly not be too peaceful tonight. It is a good time for us to fight back.”
From the military point of view, this judgment is not wrong, and the heavy casualties have seriously hit the morale of the French army.
In particular, these casualties were caused by the high-level misjudgment and command errors, and even the grassroots officers and soldiers complained to the upper levels.
”No!”
Grand Duke Albrecht refused decisively.
”It is not yet the time to fight back. The French army just suffered heavy losses today. At least five divisions in Udino's hands did not participate in the battle.
We have too little mobile troops in our hands, and the newly reorganized troops are still under recuperation, and there is not much combat power at all.
The troops fighting during the day are exhausted, and no more than six infantry divisions can be put into the offensive, including three infantry divisions that were withdrawn from the Belgian front last week.
The French are not stupid. If they suffer such a big loss, they will definitely strengthen their vigilance. With our current strength, even if we take the opportunity to counterattack, it is difficult to achieve the desired results.
Moreover, the French Third Army is less than fifty kilometers away from the front line unless we can resolve these enemies in one day. ”
It is simply impossible to end the battle within one day. No matter how much the advantage was taken during the day, it still did not change the fact that the Austrian army was underpowered, even with the addition of troops from both countries.
Today's battle, although the morale of the coalition forces has been restored, but in addition to the Austrian forces, the combat effectiveness of other troops is still being restored.
Take the Belgian army as an example. Just a few days after losing his hometown, people are crying in sorrow. Unless it is a campaign to regain Belgian territory, it will be difficult for them to exert their peak fighting power.
Not to mention the German troops included, it can only be said that the command system was barely straightened out, the officers and soldiers were in a state of running-in, and they were allowed to do miscellaneous tasks and logistics, and sending them out and the decisive battle of the French army were all giving away.
Time is on the side of the coalition forces, the reinforcements in the rear are coming constantly, Grand Duke Albrecht can wait.
The enemy's airship force has been abolished, and as long as the Rhine defense is maintained, it is a matter of time for the French to fail.
Of course, there is another reason that cannot be said.
In the event of a successful attack, the French army suffered heavy losses and immediately retreated to the homeland, and the subsequent battle was not easy to fight.
Fighting the French in the territories of Derby, Austria can also raise the banner of anti-aggression and gain the support of the local people.
If you enter a decisive battle on the French mainland, not to mention the piles of fortifications, international interference alone is a big trouble.
You know that the international community now supports the anti-French alliance. It seems that it is just shouting slogans. There is no substantive action. In fact, the governments of various countries have secretly caused trouble for the French.
With these small means alone, France has to increase the expenses of hundreds of millions of francs every month. The money is spent, and the supplies may not arrive on time.
If the trend of strength and weakness is reversed, the anti-French alliance is suffering now. At least until the end of the Battle of Egypt, the Government of Vienna cannot ignore the positions of various countries.
If the battle during the day is passed on, it will definitely affect the judgment of governments of the warring parties, and may even affect everyone's foreign policy.
However, Grand Duke Albrecht can be sure that the French cannot report the real situation of the daytime fighting, or even desperately cover up the failure, otherwise they will not be able to explain to the country.
As for the news released by the coalition forces, even if it is the truth, everyone will not help but discount it. It is impossible to believe that the French army has suffered so many casualties.
The reason is naturally the amazing record announced by both parties. According to the number of annihilating the enemy announced by the warring parties, the French have already killed 3.46 million coalition forces, and the coalition forces have also killed 2.47 million French troops.
According to this figure, since the outbreak of war, the warring parties have killed an average of 70,000 each other each day, and the number of casualties in the entire battlefield has reached a staggering 140,000 per day.
There are so many deaths alone. The number of casualties is extrapolated according to a threefold increase in the number of casualties. Then the total number of casualties of the French army is 12.35 million; and the total number of casualties of the coalition forces has reached a staggering 17.3 million.
Such an exaggerated victory, if it really happened, the war would have ended long ago, whoever believed it was a fool.
In fact, at the beginning, the results announced by the two warring parties were not so exaggerated. Even if they were engaged in art processing, everyone also had some convergence, at least not to the point of adding zero.
It won’t work afterwards. For example, after the end of a battle, the French army was going to announce the killing of 8,000 of the Allied Forces. Seeing that the Allied Forces announced that they had killed 12,000 of the French Army, they didn’t have to say that they couldn’t show weakness. It became an enemy of 50,000.
Seeing that the French army announced the annihilation of 50,000 coalition forces, the coalition forces could not suffer any loss, and in a blink of an eye, they tried to find ways to increase the results of annihilating tens of thousands of enemies. Anyway, nobody wanted to weaken the momentum.
If it were not for the loss of the Luxembourg defense line, most of the Belgian territory fell, the cowhide could not be blown down, and the coalition forces would not fall into the disadvantage in destroying the number of enemies.
Even so, the word game continues. And the further back, the more outrageous results announced by everyone will become even more outrageous, and the truth will be further and further away from the people.
It's no surprise that bragging is a common problem in humans. If you look through the history book, you know that the ancients played this way thousands of years ago.
Now that the battle has been going on, the two warring parties have only annihilated millions of enemies. Crossing out a zero is very close to the true number, and it is completely incomparable to those who annihilate hundreds of millions of enemies.
However, according to the current results of the warring parties, if the war continues for a few more months, the number of casualties on paper breaks through a small target, which is not a problem at all.
...
Tonight is destined to be an insomnia night. With a telegram, many big men can't sleep.
The coalition side is okay. As the winner, the side received good news.
In addition to being unbelievable at one and a half moments and requiring multiple parties to verify the news, the mental state of politicians is still good.
Some active guys have already decided to come to Hepi overnight to celebrate this hard-won victory.
Of course, Franz is not included in this, and after receiving the telegram, he replied: Got it.
Then, there is no more.
I was prepared in my heart, and this surprise was not so sudden. Naturally, I should go to bed.
There is no accident, Franz's unchanging performance has added a stroke to his emperor's career, leaving a short story for future generations.
