Germanic Empire: please call me William III

All along, the Tsarist Empire wanted to expand outward. In particular, the desire for a warm port was the long-cherished wish of generations of tsars.
However, before the Sun Never Set Empire, it had been chasing and blocking the Tsarist Empire, making this goal of the Tsarist Empire impossible to achieve.
Now, the situation is completely different.
The Tsarist Empire and the Empire of the Rising Sun became allies. This also means that if the Tsarist Empire completes its expansion in this war, the Empire will not have a reason and will not stop them.
Obviously, this was undoubtedly an excellent opportunity for the Tsarist Empire.
As for whether this would make the Tsarist Empire hostile to the Germanic Empire and the Austro-Hungarian Empire, Nicholas II did not care at all.
Although the Germanic Empire was strong, Nicholas II was confident that the Empire of the Rising Sun, gaul and the Russian Empire combined would be enough to defeat the Germanic Empire. As for the Austro-Hungarian Empire, it is even more needless to say. The Russian Empire and the Austro-Hungarian Empire can be regarded as old enemies, and both sides expanded in the Balkan Peninsula and were once fiercely armed. Naturally, the Russian Empire seized this opportunity to bring the Austro-Hungarian Empire to its knees.
“Your Majesty, the Imperial Army has formed Army Group Southwest, commanded by General Ivanov. This time, we have gathered a heavy army, and we will definitely be able to defeat the Austro-Hungarian Empire! General Sukhomlinov, Minister of War, reported.
Nicholas II nodded, seeming to have great confidence in the army at the front.
“Your Majesty, the Empire of the Rising Sun and the Kingdom of Gaul, ask us to speed up the pace of mobilization and launch an attack on the Germanic Empire and contain the forces of the Germanic Empire. The Sun and the Gauls suffered heavy losses in the kingdom of Billys, and the situation on the Western Front was already very unfavorable to them. Grand Duke Nicholas said.
Nicholas II couldn’t help but frown: “Are the sun never setting and the Gauls so vulnerable?” Although the Germans were strong, the Sun NeverSet and the Gauls were definitely not weak! How could they be quasi-saints in the kingdom of Billys. ”
“Your Majesty, from the information which we have so far, there is only one problem. That is, the Germans were more powerful than previously expected. Otherwise, it would not have caused so much damage to the Sun and the Gauls. This is also a place worthy of our vigilance. After all, we will soon be at war with the Germans. Grand Duke Nicholas continued.
Nicholas II’s expression couldn’t help but become serious.
The Germanic Empire was the first in the world, and he knew this very well.
However, he did not think that the Tsarist Empire was much worse than the Germanic Empire. After all, the Tsarist Empire had a military superiority that the Germanic Empire could never have.
The total population of the Tsarist Empire was almost three times that of the Germanic Empire.
In terms of soldiers, the Tsarist Empire is more.
Even if the army of the Germanic Empire is strong in combat, it is difficult to fight with two fists and four hands, and it is definitely not the opponent of the Tsarist Empire.
“We really should have attacked against the sun and the Gauls. If they are defeated, we will have to deal with the Germans alone. At that time, we will have more difficulties. Nicholas II said.
Nicholas II is also very clear about the reason for the coldness of the lips.
“Your Majesty, in this case we will have to use Army Group Northwest to launch an attack on the Germans.” Said Archduke Nicholas.
In this battle, the Russian Empire made austria-Hungary the main target of attack, and who made austria-hungary the weakest?
However, given that the current war situation was very unfavorable to the Alliance, the Tsarist Empire could not watch the Germanic Empire defeat the Sunless Empire and the Gaul Empire. So, they have to act.
This is not only helping the Empire of the Rising Sun and the Kingdom of Gaul, but also helping themselves.
Nicholas II also did not want to face the mighty Germanic Empire alone. In that case, it would be very difficult for the Germanic Empire to defeat the vast territory with its vast army, and the Tsarist Empire with its extremely terrifying strategic depth would be very difficult. But equally, the Tsarist Empire did not want to win.
“Ordered army group northwestern to attack East Prussia. If we can eat East Prussia of the Germans, we will be able to gain a huge advantage in the battle against the Germans! Nicholas II said, staring at the map hanging on the wall.
The Germanic Empire’s Region of East Prussia, like a great strategic prominence, penetrated deep into the territory of the Tsarist Empire.
Of course, this made East Prussia of the Germanic Empire extremely vulnerable to attack by the Tsarist Empire.
But at the same time, the Germanic Empire was also able to send troops from East Prussia and the eastern part of the Germanic Empire to besiege Russian Bolan. The Russian Polish blue region was likewise surrounded on three sides by Germanic territory, like a huge protrusion.
“Your Majesty, the Northwest Army Group of the Imperial Army has four hundred thousand men. The Germans, on the other hand, deployed only 200,000 men in East Prussia. We have twice the advantage and can definitely beat the Germans! General Sukhomlinov said.
Nicholas II nodded, and he thought so too.
Of course, to be on the safe side, he actually wanted to send more troops.
However, although the army of the Tsarist Empire was large, the territory was too vast and there were too many places to defend, so that the Tsarist Empire could not gather too many troops for a while to attack.
Moreover, the mobilization efficiency of the Tsarist Empire was relatively slow, which further limited the military power of the Tsarist Empire.
“The 9th Army was drawn to reinforce the Northwest Army Group and contain the rest of the Germanic forces. This is our first battle with the Germans, and we must win! Nicholas II ordered.
“Yes, Your Majesty!” Both Grand Duke Nicholas and General Sukhomlinov answered.
Nicholas II’s order was given to the headquarters of army group Northwest, and the commander, General Zhilinsky, received the order and immediately gave the order. The 1st and 2nd Armies under the Northwest Army Group were required to launch an offensive against East Prussia.
In order to cope with the sun-setting Empire and the Gaul State, and to alleviate the unfavorable situation of the Allies on the western front, the Russian Empire finally launched an offensive on the eastern front.
However, the 9th Army and the 10th Army of the Germanic Empire Army were also waiting for it.
The Tsarist Empire wanted to win victory on the Eastern Front, and it was not so easy. Even if they have an absolute superiority in strength.
