“Your Excellency, Commander, we have completely annihilated the main force of the 1st Army of the Russian Army, and all but a few cavalry units have fled, and the rest have been annihilated by us. In this great war, we annihilated the Tsarist Russian Army, up to 400,000 people. More than 300,000 captives were captured alone. Next, the whole of East Prussia had to find a way to set up more prisoner-of-war camps. Maj. Gen. Max Hoffman had a smile on his face.
“Your Excellency, Commander, the 9th Army of the Imperial Army has not suffered much in this battle, and it only takes a few days of rest before we can enter the new battle. The Russians have been severely damaged by us, and now is a good opportunity for us to take the initiative to attack, open up the borders, and invade the territory of the Tsarist Empire! General Von Plitwitz advised.
General Hindenburg nodded, “Let the troops rest first.” Then, report the results of our battle to His Majesty the Emperor. Next, we have more battles to fight. His Majesty the Emperor has decided to launch a massive counterattack on the Eastern Front, ready to wipe out the entire Russian Polish Blue region! General Hindenburg said.
Both General Von Plitwitz and Major General Max Hoffmann were bright-eyed.
“Your Excellency, Commander, after we have eaten two armies of the Russian Empire, the strength of the Russian army in the whole Netherlands Polish blue region has been very limited. Apart from some local garrisons, only the 9th Army of the Russian Army remained. Together with the 10th Army, we can completely conquer the Russian Polish Blue region. In this way, the border between us and the Russian Empire can be pulled into a straight line. East Prussia would no longer be a salient, without fear of being besieged by the Russians! General Von Plitwitz said.
“The 10th Army has other tasks, and the Tsarist Southwest Army Group is so large that our allies will find it difficult to cope. The 10th Army, on the other hand, must be ready to reinforce our allies at any time. However, among the newly formed units of the Imperial Army, the 11th army and the 12th army would fall to the eastern front to assist us temporarily. After we have captured the Russian Polish Blue, we will deploy troops as appropriate. General Hindenburg said.
“Although the 11th and 12th Armies were newly formed, they were not equipped with armored units. However, it was enough to deal with the Tsarist Russians. We gathered three armies and had no problem laying siege to The Russian Bollan! Maj. Gen. Max Hoffman said.
General Hindenburg nodded, “After the defeat of the Russian Bolan, winter has almost arrived.” We have to be ready for the winter. Although, the Russians are a little more hardy than we are. However, in the winter, they were also unable to launch a large-scale offensive. The entire Eastern Front battlefield will be silent, and a great war will break out in the spring of the next year! ”
Next, the 9th Army of the Germanic Empire began to rest, preparing for the next offensive.
The 11th and 12th Armies of the Germanic Imperial Army were also transferred by rail to the Eastern Front, preparing to participate in the fighting on the Eastern Front.
The Germanic Empire was about to launch a massive counterattack on the Eastern Front.
Tsarist Empire, Petersburg, Hermitage.
Tsar Nicholas II had already learned of the fiasco of Army Group Northwest, much to Nicholas II’s infuriation.
“Bastards! Are the guys on the front line all a bunch of pigs? We had exactly twice the germanic superiority, but in the end we were easily defeated by the Germans. Is the gap between us and the Germans really that big? Are our troops so vulnerable? Nicholas II scolded.
You must know that the two armies of the Northwest Army Group are the standing armies of the Russian Army!
Whether it is equipment or the quality of individual soldiers, they are much stronger than those troops that have just been mobilized.
However, even the standing army is so vulnerable. Then, it can be seen how big the gap between the Russian Army and the Germanic Army is. Even if the Tsarist Empire can mobilize a huge army in the next step. But could these rabble-rousers be rivals to the Germanic Imperial Army? That’s obviously unrealistic.
Nicholas II was very confident about this great war.
He was convinced that under the siege of their three major powers, the Germanic Empire could be defeated. However, the strength of the Germanic Army, or the terrible Russian Army, made him extremely worried.
This war, he also did not want to lose. If it loses, the Russian Empire will suffer a heavy blow.
The Tsarist Empire was already a mud-footed giant. Not only is industrial power incomparable to other great powers. There are still many contradictions and problems in China.
Originally, he also wanted to use this war to cover up internal contradictions with external contradictions. But if you lose on the battlefield. I am afraid that it will not be possible to cover up the internal contradictions at all, and it will also make the internal contradictions more prominent. At that time, the Tsarist Empire will probably be finished!
“Your Majesty, we have to admit that the Germanic Imperial Army is really strong. The retreating generals reported that the Germanic firepower was so strong that they were armed with a large number of artillery and machine guns. In addition, they were supported by a large number of aircraft during the battle. In contrast, we are much worse. In addition, the Germans also used a new weapon on the battlefield, an armored combat vehicle that could not be penetrated by bullets at all. This made it impossible for our soldiers to resist the Germanic attack. General Sukhomlinov explained.
“Damn! It’s all excuses. I don’t want to know the process, I just want to know the final result! Nicholas II exasperated.
“Those generals who have been defeated in battle, all of them will be severely punished!” Nicholas II ordered.
“Your Majesty, General Samsonov has been killed in battle, but General Leninkamp has fled back. And General Zhlinsky, still in birch sand. General Sukhomlinov said.
“Your Majesty, I am afraid that this is not the time to hold accountable for the defeat. The total annihilation of the 1st and 2nd Armies dealt a terrible blow to our deployment on the front lines. Originally, we deployed ten army groups and more than two million troops on the front line. Among them, the main force of the seven armies was deployed in the Southwest Army Group to the south, ready to be used to attack the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Only three army groups were used to defend the Germans. But now, only the 9th Army remained. Once the Germans had taken the initiative to attack, the situation would have been very unfavorable to us. Grand Duke Nicholas, commander-in-chief of the Russian army, reminded.
