Great Warlord: The Second Ancestor of the Empire
Chapter 421 General Brusilov
The Southwest Front Army of the Rakshasa Empire experienced two battles in just a few months, with one victory and one defeat, resulting in a 60% attrition of the entire Southwest Front Army.
Already crippled and losing the strength to attack again, they could only huddle in their original positions.
So many people were lost, but the result was no further progress.
Strictly speaking, the whole thing was not the responsibility of General Ivanov, but the weakness of the entire Rakshasa Empire in terms of logistical supplies and the large number of new soldiers flooding the Southwest Front Army, which led to such a defeat.
At least Ivanov asked St. Petersburg for support and asked St. Petersburg to give him elite soldiers so that he could have the confidence to defeat the Austro-Hungarian Empire on the opposite side.
But at that time, Goremekin only gave Ivanov new recruits, and in terms of logistical supplies, he did not favor the Southwest Front.
As a result, more than half of the entire Southwest Front Army were new recruits, which greatly weakened the overall strength of the Southwest Front Army.
Then Goremekin did not give Ivanov time to integrate the Southwest Front, resulting in Ivanov being unable to command the army below.
For example, when Ivanov asked the Fourth Army to rescue the Third Army, it was obvious that the delay of the Fourth Army caused the Third Army to suffer a disastrous defeat.
As a result, the disastrous defeat of the third quarter army made several armies around him unable to stand firm and retreated together.
If, at that time, the soldiers of the Third Army were all veterans and had complete supplies, they would be able to withstand Hans' attack by humans and demons.
If the Fourth Army moves faster. He was able to rush to the battlefield before the Third Army was crippled and help the Third Army stabilize its defense line.
Then, Ivanov would have time to dispatch other troops to outflank the Hans Empire and surprise the Hans Empire.
However, reality is reality, there are no ifs.
There were many reasons that led to the disastrous defeat of the Southwest Front Army, and months of hard work were in vain.
In fact, throughout the entire battle, Ivanov's command did not make any mistakes or mistakes. This means that the defeat of the battle had nothing to do with Ivanov.
It is entirely a problem of the strength of the Rakshasa Empire itself, especially those soldiers who were forcibly recruited, who were not in a high fighting mood, had insufficient logistical supplies, and lacked necessary training.
However, Goremekin in St. Petersburg did not think so.
He felt that since the first battle was successful but failed in the second battle, it must be Ivanov's problem.
At least Ivanov must shoulder the responsibility of being greedy for credit and underestimating the enemy.
As for himself, there could be no problem, nor could the great Tsar Nicholas II be responsible.
Therefore, Goremekin asked Ivanov to return to St. Petersburg to face trial.
In this whole thing, someone must be responsible for the failure of the battle.
And Ivanov is the best candidate.
As for the entire Southwest Front, General Alexey Alexeyevich Brusilov is in charge of the command.
Let’s not talk about how General Ivanov was tried when he returned to St. Petersburg. Let’s talk about some special thoughts among the Southwestern Front Army that experienced a disastrous defeat. After Ivanov left, General Brusilov had not yet completely mastered the Southwestern Front Army. At that time, it began to sprout quietly among the Southwest Front Army.
These thoughts about the color red have actually been prevalent in the Rakshasa Empire for a long time.
As mentioned before, in the Rakshasa Empire, slave oppression was very serious. The food a serf cultivated for a year was not enough to feed him alone.
Therefore, in the Rakshasa Empire, there is naturally a breeding ground for this kind of thinking.
The heavy taxes have made these people unable to breathe.
Then this time, the Rakshasa Empire forced soldiers to join the army, which brought this emotion to the edge of explosion.
The first one to break out was the Southwest Front Army. Among some soldiers, this red idea began to spread among the soldiers.
Even some junior officers are buying into this rumor.
Fortunately, General Brusilov was originally the commander of the Eighth Army, and he had a good reputation within the Eighth Army.
Therefore, after the officers of the Eighth Army heard this red idea, they immediately reported the matter to Brusilov.
After Brusilov heard this, he was shocked, and then sent people to quietly go to each army group to find out.
The people sent back reported that the entire Southwest Front had been infiltrated, and suggested that General Brusilov should clear out those who spread ideas before the incident completely broke out.
However, Brusilov did not agree. In his view, now that this idea has spread among soldiers, many soldiers must have believed this.
If this is done to deal with these people, it will definitely cause greater resistance and may even lead to a complete civil war.
Therefore, Brusilov did not dare to take action easily.
On the other hand, Brusilov also knew that this was the soldiers' dissatisfaction with the current situation.
If you want to reverse all this, there must be a big victory. Only in this way can the enthusiasm of the soldiers be stimulated.
To put it bluntly, it's just a cold treatment. After all, the soldiers are now a bit superior. If you go to confront them head-on, isn't this forcing the other party to resist?
Only by treating it coldly, allowing the soldiers to get substantial benefits, and making them feel honored can this dangerous idea be kicked out.
Therefore, Brusilov asked St. Petersburg to send him a batch of supplies.
At this time, Goremekin, who was in St. Petersburg, also felt that it was time to replenish the strength of the Southwest Front.
Although he said before that Ivanov was responsible for the failure of the two battles, he also knew what exactly happened.
He was also afraid that the Southwest Front Army would be completely devastated and drag him into trouble, so he reluctantly agreed to replenish the troops and supplies for the Southwest Front Army.
After receiving the supplies, Brusilov used the supplies to appease the soldiers and began to formulate a new attack plan.
He was prepared to use a great victory to reignite the patriotic enthusiasm of the soldiers.
With Brusilov's comfort, the dangerous thoughts among the Southwest Front were temporarily suppressed.
The entire Southwest Front once again entered into stable development.
As for the new offensive plan, it cannot be completed in a short time. Various preparation plans will require at least one or two years of preparation.
However, Brusilov was not in a hurry. No matter how much St. Petersburg urged him to attack, Brusilov could find various reasons to push him back.
Because Brusilov knew very well that he could not fail in this battle. If he fails, he will have to face trial like Ivanov.
Similarly, the Rakshasa Empire cannot afford to lose, because if it loses again, those dangerous thoughts will attack again, and no one can stop them.
