In response to the possible subsequent large-scale attack by the Germans, the Russian Empire also acted secretly. In addition to the 2nd Army and the 8th Army deployed on the border, the 26th Army, the 27th Army, the 28th Army, also secretly moved to the positions of the second line. The seven mobilized armies of the third group, which had just been formed and formed combat effectiveness, also began to be mobilized.
Even the 1st Army, deployed around Mosk and tasked with guarding the capital, was ready to dispatch at any time.
In addition to this, the Imperial General Staff issued an order that the Balkan Front, from the Ottoman battlefield, withdraw two army groups and return to the Balkans for rest, replenishment of losses and weapons and ammunition. Once the empire was attacked by the Germans, if there were not enough troops, they would immediately come to their aid.
At present, on the battlefield of the Ottoman Empire, the retention of three army groups is enough to suppress the Ottomans who suffered heavy losses. Not to mention, after the arrival of spring, the 4th Regiment and the 20th Army of the Russian Army will participate in the attack on the Ottoman Empire.
In addition, the fourth group of mobilized troops of the Tsarist Imperial Army has accelerated training. The mobilization of the fifth batch has also begun. Throughout the Russian Empire, the war machine has been moving rapidly.
The large population, combined with strong industrial strength and convenient transportation, ensured that the Russian Empire broke out with great war-fighting power.
After these troops mobilized in the hinterland have formed combat effectiveness, they can all be sent to the front line by rail and road.
Even in the face of the Germanic Empire, which claims to be the world’s first, the Russian Empire is confident that it can deal with it.
However, even so, the Russian Empire underestimated the determination of the Germans this time. Or did not expect that the scale of the attack by the Germans would be so large.
Moreover, it was not only the actions of the Germans, who also united with Austria-Hungary.
So much so that the Russian Empire was in a comprehensive emergency on the Eastern Front and fell into an extremely dangerous situation.
Austria-Hungary, Vienna, Royal Palace.
After entering 1815 AD, Emperor Franz Joseph I of Austria became more and more old. Now he seems to be about to reach the end of his life, and he can’t support much time.
It’s just that although Crown Prince Karl has grown up very quickly, he has just become the crown prince after all, and there is still a lot to learn. It will take a long time to become a qualified heir to the throne.
Therefore, Franz Joseph I has been dragging his body getting worse and worse, holding on for as long as possible to allow Archduke Karl to grow up as much as possible.
It has been half a year since the outbreak of the war.
Austria-Hungary did not gain much in this war, but lost a lot of territory and a large number of troops.
For Austria-Hungary, the war had already begun, and they had no other option. Unless, surrender to the Allies.
But although the situation is tense now, it is far from the point of exhaustion, and Austria-Hungary naturally will not admit defeat in this way. They are also looking forward to a miracle and a chance to turn around.
Emperor Franz Joseph I, Crown Prince Karl, Chief of the General Staff, Marshal Baron Herzendorf, Prime Minister Mario Webb, Foreign Minister Belsidald, War Minister Duke Kasbah and others, gathered in the conference room.
“Your Majesty, our ally the Germanic Empire has secretly informed us that they are preparing to launch a large-scale military operation on the Eastern Front, with an army of up to two million, or even three million. Therefore, the Germanic Empire requires us to work closely with them to defeat the Russian Empire at one time, and even force the Russian Empire to withdraw from the war and win the Eastern Front!” said Baron Herzendov, Chief of the General Staff.

There was a smile on everyone’s faces, and even a sense of relief.
The Austro-Hungarian Empire had been suppressed by the Russian Empire for the past six months. On the frontal battlefield, they relied entirely on the Carpathian defense line and relied on the terrain to resist the attack of the Russian Empire. On the battlefield of the Kingdom of Serbia, because the Russian Empire sent troops to reinforce the Kingdom of Serbia, the Austro-Hungarian Empire was unable to occupy the entire Kingdom of Serbia. As for the northern battlefield of the Caesar Kingdom, it could also only rely on the Alps to resist the attack of the Entente.
Austria-Hungary was under very much pressure.
It even made them lose confidence at one point.
Now, the Germanic Empire was determined to launch a large-scale counterattack on the Eastern Front, which was undoubtedly an excellent opportunity for the Austro-Hungarian Empire.
“Great, the Germans, although frustrated on the Western Front, were not able to achieve complete success. However, if the Russians could be defeated on the Eastern Front, the whole war situation would still be very favorable to the Allies. At that time, we can even send troops to join the war against the sun and the Gauls, and help the entire Confederate to win the final victory of the war!”
“Yes, Your Highness the Crown Prince. Now the war has entered a stalemate. However, the Germanic Empire was still trying to break the deadlock. And the Russians undoubtedly became the target of the next stage of the Germanic Empire. This is also a good thing for the Empire!” said the Minister of War, Duke Kasbah.
“Gentlemen, in order to achieve full victory in this war, we need to cooperate fully with the Germanic Empire, not only to help the Germanic Empire, but also to help ourselves!” said Franz Joseph I.
“Yes, Your Majesty!” the high-ranking officials of the Austro-Hungarian Empire replied.
Now Austria-Hungary has done its best to mobilize, and it can be regarded as strong.
The total strength of the entire Austro-Hungarian Army was already as high as five million.
In addition to two million men stationed on the Carpathian Mountains, 600,000 fighting in the Kingdom of Serbia, and 500,000 deployed in the northern part of the Kingdom of Caesar, up to 1.9 million troops can be mobilized in the country. Even if Austria-Hungary mobilized further, it could mobilize another one or two million troops.
Given the population and industrial strength of Austria-Hungary, it would not be difficult to mobilize again.
“Your Majesty, we have been in contact with the Kingdom of Romenia for all this time. Perhaps, we can draw the kingdom of Romenia into the Allies!” advised the foreign secretary, Baron Belcidotus.
