Struggle in Russia

Wendisch Gretz is indeed not a military strategist. In this mediocre age, he is just a mediocre military general, so his judgment of the situation is actually inaccurate.

Maybe he was right. His troops suffered heavy casualties, and the rebel army suffered even more casualties. He felt that as long as he continued to exert pressure, the rebel army would soon collapse, but this judgment was wrong.

Because the rebel army was much stronger than he imagined, especially after his brilliant deeds were deliberately spread in Vienna and Europe by Duke Alexander Gorchakov, all the rebels in Vienna knew about his actions in Prague Great achievements, knowing that this iron-blooded butcher will not give them a way out, there is no way out but resistance.

The insurgents couldn't survive. They belonged to the kind of people who were forced to rush.

In fact, the correct approach is to talk while fighting, while slowly eating away at the base of the rebel army, while disintegrating them from the inside, and splitting out those unsteady swingers. Weakening their fighting spirit little by little, it may be a little troublesome and may consume a little more time, but the cost is the lowest.

It's a pity that Wendisch Gretz only wanted to take the credit for himself, and he looked down on the rebels from the bottom of his heart. He blindly believed in the force in his hands, thinking that everything could be wiped out with a big stick in his hand. Naturally, the road went dark.

When he invested all the reserves, the speed of cleaning did not increase significantly, and he still moved forward inch by inch, and as his impatience was transmitted to the grassroots, all the grassroots commanders felt a sense of urgency , No matter whether it is reasonable or not, it is a brainless way to fill in people's heads, and then the casualties will naturally rise in a straight line!

Naturally, Windischgritz's vaunted final push only lasted five days before it really ran out. Because his army couldn't stand it anymore, the casualties snowballed, but the progress was not worth mentioning. What's worse, the rebel army he said would collapse soon but never came.

The insurgents are still struggling, fighting for every inch of ground with the boys of Wendisch Gretz street by street. A group of people are dead, and then a new group of insurgents will follow up immediately, picking up the weapons of their comrades-in-arms. Arms continue to fight.

This kind of endless battle directly caused Wendisch Gretz's troops to collapse. After nearly 20 days of storming, his troops went on strike, and he refused to continue attacking no matter how hard he jumped.

"These damned bastards! I'm going to shoot them! Shoot them!"

The roar of Wendisch Gretz almost spread throughout his headquarters. After more than 20 days of busy work and tens of thousands of casualties, he only regained a quarter of Vienna. This record is really eye-catching.

Anyway, the ridicule against him has appeared in major European newspapers. He has changed from the former Austrian savior to the Austrian meat grinder. Journalists from various countries, especially Russian journalists, continue to ridicule him and laugh at him. It's a waste.

"Calm! My friend! You need to be calm now!"

Schwarzenberg also had a headache. As much as he had hoped for Wendisch Gretz, he was so disappointed now. The current situation made it hard for him to get out.

Wendisch Gretz didn't do this all at once. He could still negotiate with the revolutionary party in the city to disintegrate, and he could also negotiate with the Russians for aid. And now it's hard to go these two days.

Wendisch Gretz was the first one to refuse to negotiate with the Revolutionary Party, because this guy would feel that Schwarzenberg was slapping him in the face and that his counter-insurgency operation had failed, which was unacceptable to him. As for negotiating terms with the Russians, this guy will also feel embarrassed. After all, he let go of the cruel words, and he mocked Duke Alexander Gorchakov fiercely before. How is it going now?

For a while, both Schwarzenberg and Wendisch Gretz felt a little tricky, and there was no way to end it. The two brothers could only stare at me and stare at you together.

And at their most embarrassing,

Finally, there is good news: "Report, the vanguard of Lieutenant General Josip Jelacic has arrived on the outskirts of the city!"

This news immediately shocked Schwarzenberg, and the arrival of Jeracic was simply a timely help. It was too timely. He glanced at the adjutant, and immediately said to Wendisch Gretz: "Let's go see the lieutenant general immediately to discuss counter-insurgency matters without further ado!"

Gangzhen, Wendisch Gretz's mood is very complicated at this time. The timely arrival of the reinforcements is naturally good news, but he has a bit of a sour lemon mentality. It is obvious that the restoration of Vienna is his own career, and the credit should be all due to him Yes, Jerachic will naturally steal a lot of his limelight and share a lot of credit with him when he comes. This...

It is inevitable that Wendisch Gretz will have such an idea-[Is this guy doing it on purpose, because he came here at the right time? 】

And Schwarzenberg was too active and happy, which naturally made Wendisch Gretz even more upset. For a moment, he wanted to just throw his hands away and say he couldn't see Jelacic. But fortunately, he is not a three-year-old child, knowing that things cannot be done this way, he reluctantly followed Schwarzenberg in the end.

"Josip Jelacic is here?"

Of course, the news couldn't be hidden from Duke Alexander Gorchakov. He is also full of resentment towards the Croatian lieutenant general who came too timely-can't you come slowly? I haven't seen enough jokes about Schwarzenberg and Wendisch Gretz!

The joke is naturally worthless. Duke Alexander Gorchakov knows that the situation is becoming more and more unfavorable to the revolutionaries in Vienna. With the arrival of Jerachic's reinforcements, the Austrian government's offensive will become more violent and If it can continue, with the bad situation in the city, the revolutionaries may be almost finished.

Now there are two options before Prince Alexander Gorchakov. One is to take advantage of the fact that the Revolutionary Party is not completely finished, and he can partially repair the relationship with Austria and ease the previous embarrassment. Or the second option is to find a way to give blood to the revolutionaries, let them continue to insist, and let Austria shed more blood.

Where to go? Prince Alexander Gorchakov is a little undecided, because although Schwarzenberg and Wendisch Gretz are a bit embarrassed now, the overall situation is still in their favor. At this time, Russia may have to pay some price to restore relations. It is uneconomical.

But if he chooses to transfuse blood to the revolutionary party, although the idea is good, he has no idea how to do it...
