Chapter 1522 Lore 1

"Your Highness, the call with Prince Leopold has been connected." Lieutenant General Caliput said to the prince.

"Very good." Ruprecht nodded, and took over the microphone. As a traveler, the prince naturally knew the battle that sounded the death knell for two empires at the same time in the history of the Russian World War I——Borusinov Offensive, this offensive not only severely damaged the Austro-Hungarian Army, but also exhausted the last vestiges of Russia's strength. The strength of this dying blow prevented the prince from taking it seriously, so he needed to have a phone call with Prince Leopold to have a good talk about it.

"According to aerial reconnaissance and the information we have collected, at least seven divisions of the Russian Legion have been transferred from the northern and central lines to the southern line. Together with the original garrison on the southern line, their strength will soon exceed 380,000. In terms of military strength, the Hungarian Legion has a large number of personnel. There are nearly 300,000 people. After adding 70,000 German troops, it still has a slight advantage. But I really don’t think about the combat effectiveness of 300,000 Hungarians. If the Russians really launch an attack in the near future, it will definitely be a disaster." Prince Leopold said with some concern.

"So, what was the attitude of the Hungarians after you told them the news?" asked the prince.

"They have no attitude..." The Prince said after a while.

"What does it mean to have no attitude?" The prince felt a little messy.

"Because so far, including the Austrian Army, except for the report that the Hungarians continue to ask for more supplies and equipment, there has been no mention of this battle at all. Instead, Lieutenant General Seekert sent me a A telegram, he said that he would try his best to help Hungary stabilize the front line. At the same time, he asked for a lot of supplies." Prince Leopold said.

"Fuck, well, this is a world where you can't die if you don't die, and it's also a worse world." The prince took a few deep breaths to calm down his messy mood. To be honest, he really doesn't like Hungarians very much, and even hopes that this great Hungary can collapse into Hungary after World War I in history, and then kick out Austria-Hungary. However, as an allied army, the prince really never stabbed the Hungarian Legion. Of course, if the support that Hungary wants is in vain, it’s not that the prince doesn’t give it, but that it will take time to transport it over, and I don’t know if it can catch up with this battle.

"Bring over the map." The prince has already set the Hungarian pit for the time being, so now, all the planning must revolve around "the Hungarians are finished"! Needless to say, the Russians will be able to beat the Hungarians to the ground in the end, but they also cannot quickly penetrate into the position due to lack of battlefield mobility. Therefore, this is destined to be a rout battle rather than a large-scale encirclement and annihilation battle. Maybe the Hungarians It will retreat hundreds of kilometers, but it will take at least two weeks for the Russian army to attack, and the entire southern Ukraine's defense line will be dented in a large piece. Then, the Russian army will choose a suitable place to re-establish the front line.

For the Russians,

The impact of this battle is so great. They are now weaker than the Russian army when the Borusinov battle was launched in history, and the pressure they are facing is greater than in history. The prince believes that Borusinov can win a big victory. But it is impossible to change the basic disk of the entire Ukrainian theater.

So what was the motivation for the Russians to launch this campaign? The prince is also very clear, naturally it is delaying time! Try to delay the time until the harvest time as much as possible. In this way, relying on half of Ukraine's grain and coal, the Russians can survive this winter. A large-scale uprising occurred due to lack of food and fuel. You must know that in the Russian winter, no fuel is more deadly than no food!

Well then, what does the prince do now? Go south to help Hungary at all costs? If this is the case, it may not be able to catch up at the beginning of the battle, but at least it can guarantee that the Hungarians will not lose so badly, but is it worth it? The prince's brain is like a high-speed computer quickly calculating the pros and cons,

The Russians are making a big move this time. If they want to stabilize the southern front, it is impossible without the entry of more than 100,000 troops. Throwing tens of thousands of people on the southern front will be diluted in an instant. The mobilization and fighting of hundreds of thousands of troops will obviously consume a lot of materials stored in Bavaria. And what they got in exchange was that the Russians played shallower. However, killing some of the Russian troops casually, no matter how I look at it, I feel that I am at a loss...

After all, the fate of the Russians is now under the command of Prince Leopold. As long as they can cross the Dnieper River, the entire Ukraine will probably fall under the control of the Bavarian Army before the autumn harvest. The most important thing for the Russians The production and coal production areas are gone, and the Transcaucasus and the lower Volga regions are exposed to themselves, with greater benefits and no more consumption. Well, from a military or political point of view, let Leo It would be better for Prince Pod to continue with the previous plan.

However, this is not enough, the prince needs to make this plan more perfect!

"How many troops do we have now? Count the elite troops in the Austrian Legion." The prince asked.

"The Bavarian and Bohemian Army stationed about 8 divisions in the Balkans. Austria has a group army in the Balkans with about 350,000 people. Among them, I think it is not bad. There are about 6 divisions. 100,000 people." Caliput thought for a while and said.

"So is there anything going on with the Anglo-French coalition forces recently?" the prince asked again.

"No at present. They suffered a lot in the last stage of the battle. The most elite divisions of the British were severely damaged by us. The French had at least two divisions casualties before they played, and the navy and air force also suffered great losses. If you need troops, we can draw at least 4 Bavarian divisions and more than 3 Austrian divisions." Caliput naturally knew what the prince was thinking of, and said the answer very directly .

"That's good. Immediately send a telegram to Earl Spey asking him to come to the headquarters." The prince smiled slightly, nodded, and said with satisfaction. Then he ignored Caliput, who was a little confused, and continued to pick up the phone and talk to the prince.

"It's time to remind us that the Bavarian and Bohemian armies are launching their battles according to the original plan. Tell the commander of the Austrian army, Konrad, to ensure the safety of the center line, and at the same time, help Syke if he has spare power. Special lieutenant general. I don't trust the combat effectiveness of the Hungarians. I'm worried that they will trap Conrad, and the only ones I can trust are the German troops brought by Seekert."
