The Rise of the Empire

"The Sixth Army's front-line troops have been almost wiped out, and the remaining remnants can be killed quickly. We have accepted many villages and towns. The Russians have gone too far, so the Poles have no resistance to us. Border areas The population is much smaller than we thought, and the Russians systematically relocated the Polish population a few years ago, which saved us a lot of trouble."

"The only pity is that it may be difficult to catch up with the new border garrison divisions and support troops that joined the Sixth Army. They are located far back and run very fast. And our fuel consumption is a bit high. It has exceeded expectations. ." Caliput said.

"There are still some in the frontline reserve oil depot. Take it and kill as many Russians as possible. Otherwise, whether they arrive on the northern or southern front, the pressure on Mackensen and the Austro-Hungarian Army will increase greatly, especially It's the latter. I'm very worried. Mackensen is a master of mobile warfare. Even if the situation is unfavorable, there is still a way to fight or leave. As for the Austrians? It would be great if they can guarantee that they won't lose too badly." Rupre Hit said.

Caliput glanced at Schmidt, who was next to him with his head lowered. The latter shook his head slightly and said nothing. Unwilling, Caliput touched the corner of the other person's clothes again. The latter's reaction was to lower his head even lower.

"What are you doing! Say what you have to say! Everyone standing at the door can see you making such a big move!" Prince Ruprecht said dissatisfied.

"Actually, we don't have to chase him," Caliput said.

"What are you thinking? You don't even know how to beat up a drowned dog? What have you learned from following Prince Leopold for so many years?" the prince said half seriously and half jokingly.

"I mean, our reserve fuel depot may not be enough. Just yesterday, Lieutenant General Sainz, who is in charge of logistics, sent a telegram that the fuel we purchased from Romania was intercepted by the Austrians. Unless we use local fuel or let The inventory of battlefield fuel has dropped below the standard line, otherwise, we will not have enough fuel to launch a large-scale attack." Baron Schmidt said from the side.

"Withholding my things? Are you kidding me? Who is so bold?" the prince sneered. The chill in the words can even cause a layer of ice to form on the glass!

"It is said that it was Archduke Karl who proposed it, and some generals of the Austro-Hungarian Army reconsidered it. Finally, Marshal Conrad submitted it to the Austrian Emperor. The report said that they were also fighting very hard, so they needed some fuel supplies. Prince Leopold has already set off for Vienna, prepare to discuss this matter with the emperor. There may be a result, but I'm afraid it's too late now." Caliput counted the time and said.

"A bunch of bastards! Bastards who can only do a disservice!" Ruprecht cursed in front of his subordinates for the first time. "Fritz really thinks he is very powerful? Without us, the Austro-Hungarian army is nothing. They are a group of guys who have been defeated repeatedly. I even hope that the people who cooperate with me are Serbs!"

The prince, who knew the Austro-Hungarian army well, naturally knew that there must be a trick. Although the Austro-Hungarian Army deployed four on the northern front, its total strength was not much greater than that of the Bavarian Army and the Bohemian Army. Moreover, most of them use horses, and the number of cars is far less than that of the Bavarian Army. Tanks and armored vehicles are even rarer, and more importantly, their attack depth is very short. After getting off the railway terminal, it is not far from the battlefield, which puts a lot of logistical pressure. In fact, it is not that big. Historically, the Austro-Hungarian Army has never said that it cannot provide logistics. The Austrians are more fully prepared in this dimension, and there is no reason for logistical problems.

And even if there are some logistical issues,

It is absolutely unjustifiable for you to directly intercept our fuel. A copy of your plan was notified to the Austrian Emperor before the battle began. The latter ensured that the traffic lines were open. The prince had no worries before he launched the Black Lightning. But at the end of the fight, when it was about to be completed, when it was about to reap the final benefits, the Austrian Emperor arranged this matter for himself. To say that there was no game or political purpose among Austrian high-level officials, Ruprecht absolutely does not believe it, especially now that the Austrian Emperor has not established a new crown prince and Archduke Karl is also involved!

"The war has just started, and it hasn't improved at all. Even if you plan on your own affairs, I'm still drunk!" Ruprecht calmed down and said with a wry smile.

"The Austrian Army has not collapsed yet?" Just when Caliput and Schmidt were silent, the prince's words surprised them.

"It's okay. We're evenly matched with the Russians on the southern front, so there's no problem for the time being." Caliput said. He was really not sure what the prince would do now. If this matter could be fought in Germany, If you go to the Kaiser, you might even make a bunch of people lose their hats. But it was different in the Austro-Hungarian Empire. First of all, the Austrian Emperor was the father-in-law of the prince. This was a family matter. It would be different once human feelings were mixed in. Secondly, the Bavarian Army is a guest army after all. The local vigilantes may not be able to fight, but their ability to cause trouble is not that high.

There is one thing that Caliput did not say, that is, now that the Bavarian Army has defeated two armies, the entire Eastern Front battlefield has also become favorable to Germany and Austria, whether it is going north to deal with the Russian army on the northern front or against the southern front. It can be said that the Russian army on the front line has the advantage, and the situation is now as stable as a dog. At this time, the Austro-Hungarian Empire thinks that it is not a big deal to make something happen...

"Then let's fight as much as possible. After the fight, we should take a rest." The prince said calmly.

"Then what?" Caliput asked.

"Then? Some of the troops may go to the Western Front, right? As for the Eastern Front? Let's sit back and watch the Austro-Hungarian Army collapse. Some people think that they will not know how to respect others without suffering some pain." The prince said There were waves of chill.

Ruprecht really didn't want the results of the Battle of Galicia to be repeated in this dimension. He was even prepared. After this battle, the troops would rest for one to two months, and then a The troops went north to support Mackensen, and he led the main force eastward, and attacked the four Russian legions from two directions with the Austro-Hungarian legions. But now, the prince found that he really thought too much... He finally understood what it means to die if you don't seek death...

"Talize the results and send them to the General Staff Headquarters. By the way, collect the situation on the Western Front for me. I heard that our attack was not going well some time ago?" The prince thought for a while and said to the people below. . There were some problems on the Western Front, which attracted the prince's great attention. Because this is not historical!
