“The Russians claim that they paid four million casualties in the battle against the Germans?
To him, this seems to be too much exaggeration.
“The Russians must be lying, they could not have paid such a great loss in the battle against the Germans alone. The Minister of War, Count Kitchener, said.
“And how big are the losses of the Russians?” asked Prime Minister Herbert Asquith.
Count Kitchener shook his head: “This is not clear. However, it is certain that the losses of the Russians were probably between two and three million. ”
Prime Minister Herbert Asquith nodded: “In this way, the losses of the Russians are not small. ”
“Yes, the fighting power of the Germans, we can see it to all. If the Russians want to withstand the fierce attack of the Germans, the losses will naturally not be small. Count Kitchener replied.
“Since the Russians are unwilling, they are not even willing to join forces against the Germans. Well, still 967 is forget it. There is no need for us to offend the Russians at this time. This will also be very bad for us!” said Prime Minister Herbert Asquith.
The other high-ranking officials of the Sun Never Set Empire also nodded one after another.
The current Russian Empire is too powerful, and the cooperation of the Russian Empire is indispensable to defeat the Germanic Empire and even the entire Allies. Of course, this poses a great threat to the Sun Never Sets Empire. But in the case of the clear refusal of the Tsarist Empire, the Sun Never Sets Empire also has no way to take the Tsarist Empire. In that case, how can this war continue to be fought?
“In any case, the Germans were weakened again and battered. And the Russian Empire also paid a considerable price. This is good news for us. The current war situation is very favorable to us. The Germans could not tear open our naval blockade and restore overseas trade. Well, the strength of the Germans is constantly being consumed. It won’t be long before the Germans are dragged down. As long as we can keep it going, the final victory will surely be ours!” said Prime Minister Herbert Asquith.
The other high-level officials of the Sun Never Set Empire also held this attitude.
After all, the current war situation is indeed very favorable for the Allies.
The ferocious attack of the Germans had been resisted. This war inevitably entered a protracted war. The Sun Never Set Empire and the Gallic State with colonial blood transfusions, as well as the Tsarist Russian Empire, which was already large in population and vast land, were definitely not something that the Germanic Empire could contend with. As long as there are no surprises along the way. Then, if this continues, the final winner is obviously the Entente. And the Sun Never Sets Empire is not willing to make any more troubles under such circumstances.
The Russian Empire refused to continue its offensive against the Germanic Empire itself, leaving the plans of the Empire and the Galls in vain. This caused the Eastern and Western Fronts to fall silent again.
However, the large-scale counterattack of the Russian Empire, although it defeated the Germanic Empire, drove them out of the territory of the Russian Empire. However, on other fronts, the Russian Empire would continue to attack.
Especially in the southwestern battlefield, the Russian Empire naturally would not let go of Austria-Hungary and the Kingdom of Romenia.
Among them, Austria-Hungary was relatively strong, and Austria-Hungary was a staunch ally of the Germans and an important member of the Allies. If the Russian Empire had aggressively attacked Austria-Hungary, the Germanic Empire would not have remained silent. Therefore, Tsar Mikhail came to an agreement with the top officials of the empire and first settled the kingdom of Romenia.
By the next year, if the Germans launch another large-scale offensive on the Western Front, they will face off against the Gauls on the same day. Then, the Russian Empire will launch a large-scale attack on Austria-Hungary and crush Austria-Hungary in one fell swoop. No matter how bad it is, it is necessary to occupy the Western Slavs and Yugoslavs under the control of Austria-Hungary.
However, the Russian Empire had not yet made a move, but had only begun to mobilize troops, which had already frightened Austria-Hungary and the Kingdom of Romenia.
In fact, the Russian Empire resisted the attack of the Germans and drove the Germans out of the territory of the Russian Empire in one fell swoop, causing the Germanic Empire to suffer heavy losses, which has made Austria-Hungary and the Kingdom of Romenia realize that their large-scale military operations on the Eastern Front have ended in failure.
Austria-Hungary, Vienna, Royal Palace.
The complexion of Emperor Franz Joseph I became worse and worse. In particular, all the bad news from the frontline battlefield made him very annoyed.
In addition, Franz Joseph I was already getting older and his health was getting worse and worse. So, his life is almost at the end of the day, and there is not much time left.
“Gentlemen, the Germans failed. They actually failed. Not only did they not defeat the Russians, but they were defeated by the Russians. So what do we do now?” said Franz Joseph I, looking at the top brass of the Austro-Hungarian Empire.
Every high-ranking Austro-Hungarian official had a serious expression. There is an unconcealable worry in his eyes. They all knew that Austria-Hungary would face a very difficult situation next. (Read violent novels, go on Feilu Fiction Network!)
“Your Majesty, according to the latest information we have received, after the Russians repelled the Germanic attack, they have begun to mobilize their forces to go south. Their target is undoubtedly us and the kingdom of Romenia. It won’t be long before the Russians launch a massive counterattack. The Chief of the General Staff, Marshal Baron Herzendorf, said.
“Your Majesty, I’m afraid we should avoid the front for now. Even the Germans were not able to defeat the Russians, but paid heavy losses under the Russian counterattack. We wanted to resist the Russian counterattack, it was impossible. Therefore, it is better for us to retreat immediately and withdraw our troops back to the Carpathian Mountains. In this way, perhaps we can rely on the mountains and the defensive lines built to withstand the attack of the Russians and preserve our strength!” suggested the Minister of War, Duke Kasbah.
Since the Russians could not be defeated, then retreat undoubtedly became the best option.
