Jagged Germany

   Admiral Ivanov frowned tightly. It was undoubtedly extremely difficult for him to choose between the two battle plans submitted by the Front Army Staff Headquarters.

   "Everyone, the battle plan of the staff department has come out. Take a look, which one should we choose?" Admiral Ivanov asked.

"General, if you want to be safe, the first battle plan is naturally the most suitable. However, it is hard to say whether the two armies can withstand the attack of the German Eighth Army. In addition, this will also make the battlefield fall into a crisis. The stalemate situation. All the advantages we had originally were lost." Admiral Ruski said.

  Admiral Ivanov nodded. They managed to inflict heavy damage on the Austrian army during the war. Seeing that they were able to inflict further heavy damage on them, and even defeat them, they won the war. However, the Germans came out at this time. If you give up, it will fall short. Admiral Ivanov himself was also very reluctant.

   "If we choose the second battle plan, can we quickly defeat the Austro-Hungarian Empire?" Admiral Ivanov asked.

  The reason why the second battle plan is risky is that the Russian Army Group Army simply cannot withstand the attack of the German Eighth Army. In that case, they would be caught between the German and Austrian forces. At that time, I am afraid that not only will the advantage be completely lost, but it will even make them fall into an extremely disadvantageous situation.

"General, this is very difficult. The Austro-Hungarian Empire also deployed three armies on the front line, and their strength is not much smaller than ours. It is very difficult to defeat them in a short time. In addition, after the Germans arrived, Austria-Hungary The morale of the army will inevitably rise. This will increase the difficulty of defeating them," said General Dimitriev.

"General, although there are difficulties, I think that if we go well, we may not have no chance of defeating the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Before, we could suppress them. Now, the three armies of the Austro-Hungarian Empire on the front line are mostly dissatisfied If we attack with all our strength, we have a chance of defeating them. As long as we defeat the Austro-Hungarian Empire, we can gather the main force to besiege the Germans. The German 8th Army is powerful, but if our four armies besiege them Then, we will have avenged our shame and won the entire battlefield!" General Brushinov, commander of the Russian Eighth Army, said excitedly. He is a person who likes to take risks and hopes to get the greatest benefit through taking risks.

  The current battle situation is the same for the Russian army. If you can take a little risk in exchange for a chance to win the war completely, in the eyes of General Brushinov, this is undoubtedly a very good deal.

  Of course, if the war is lost, the consequences will undoubtedly be very miserable. At that time, they will lose completely.

  Admiral Ivanov, it was in consideration of this point that he was a little hesitant. He wanted to seize this opportunity to defeat the German and Austrian armies in one fell swoop and win the Russian Empire on the battlefield. However, if he failed, the consequences would not be something he could bear.

"General, I think we can choose the second battle plan. Although it is a bit risky, once we win, it will completely change the situation on the battlefield. We will have an advantage in this war. Even completely defeat us enemy." General Serivanov, commander of the Russian 11th Army, also expressed his opinion.

  As a general, it is understandable and a very important quality to be cautious when commanding a war. However, it is absolutely impossible to lose the spirit of adventure. You must know that many major victories in the history of war were obtained after taking risks. If you blindly pursue caution, you will miss your opportunity.

  Everyone's eyes fell on General Ivanov, waiting for him to make the final decision.

  General Ivanov also felt tremendous pressure. After all, his choice is not only related to the life and death of millions of troops of the Russian Southwest Front Army, but also related to whether Russia can win this war, which is undoubtedly very important.

   "General Dmitriev, can your troops survive the German attack for half a month?" Admiral Ivanov asked. He seemed to have made up his mind and made a decision.

"General, this is very difficult. The Germans are too powerful. Once their tank troops launch an attack, our troops may not be able to resist at all. The defense line we built will be easily torn apart by the Germans." Di Admiral Mitriyev swallowed hard. At the thought of resisting the attack of the mighty German 8th Army, he couldn't help feeling tense.

"The German tank troops are powerful, but we can use other methods to stop them. For example, build strong fortifications. The headquarters believes that we can prevent the German tanks from advancing by digging wider trenches. This may be useful in our defensive operations." General Ivanov said.

   "Yes, General. However, half a month may not be enough to defeat the Austro-Hungarian Empire, right?" Admiral Dimitriev said.

"After you persist for half a day, the 13th Army will arrive. At that time, the 13th Army will cooperate with you to resist the German attack. The remaining three armies will strive to defeat the Austro-Hungarian Empire in the shortest possible time." This is our only chance. If we can defeat the Austro-Hungarian Empire, we will win this battle. Otherwise, we will lose a complete defeat." Admiral Ivanov said.

   "Yes, General. We will do our best to stop the Germans." Admiral Dimitriev said. He knew that Admiral Ivanov had already made up his mind, and it was useless to say anything else, only to do his best to complete the combat mission.

"I will report the battle plan to Grand Duke Nicholas. If His Excellency approves our battle plan, then launch an attack immediately. The time left for us is running out, we must seize this opportunity Just do it!" General Ivanov said.

   "Yes, General." All the Russian generals replied loudly. Everyone knows that since Admiral Ivanov has chosen this risky battle plan, everyone has to work hard. This is not only related to whether Russia can win the war, but also related to their vital interests, even their lives. If you win, promotion and fortune are indispensable. But if it fails, I'm afraid it will be dead.
