Nicholas II roared, "Bullshit, this is your guess. If the Germans really ignore the attack on the Empire, we will not be able to stop the German attack now! We sent a regiment and a force of nearly 1.4 million, almost twice that of the Germans! But, but we are now being beaten, and less than 600,000 people are capable of fighting! How to pick up the war against the Germans! "
Nikolayevich replied, "Our heavy casualties do not mean that the Germans have no losses. At least nearly 200,000 Germans withdrew from the battle in World War I on the Eastern Front, and their troops on the Eastern Front will not exceed 600,000! Absolutely not! Their tank division absolutely dare not go deep into the hinterland of Russia because there is not enough fuel. ICBC is a decoration! I suggest that we retreat our main force to 250 kilometers, even to 350 kilometers, give up Poland to lure the enemy into the German army, and put out some troops to station in Poland. Their troops will be swallowed up by the vast land, so that our army can turn defeat into victory! "
Nikolayevich deserves to be the commander-in-chief of a country. That is, Russia has unparalleled strategic depth in the world. This is a depth that no country can compare with 2,000 kilometers. Even the German army will never easily point its edge at Moscow. That would be crazy!
Nicholas II gasped and said, "But uncle, we must guard against the Germans putting all your eggs in one basket. I heard that this time the German emperor himself led an army. That guy is as arrogant as his damn fool. What shall we do if we go our own way?" The leader of this country, I have to prepare for the worst! Conscription must be done within the country! "
Nikolayevich said with a wry smile, "We have enough soldiers, but the population of our country is not 100 million. But what about the equipment? We don’t have guns and cannons now. We warriors can’t start charging the enemy. That would be a waste of life!"
Nicholas II had no sound. The biggest problem in Russia was that it was too poor. Compared with Britain, France and Germany, there was no way to let go of conscription and expand the army, but Russia could not. Without a strong industrial base, it was not enough to produce guns and guns!
"Send a telegram to Sevan and Farrier immediately and ask them to give us arms support immediately. If they don’t, they will surrender to the Germans and see what they do?"
Nicholas II roared angrily.
Chapter one thousand one hundred and seventy-three The lion opens his mouth.
The newspaper soon reached the hands of British Prime Minister Sevan, who frowned tightly. Nicholas II asked Britain and France for military assistance to Russia, and it was a lion’s mouth!
Nicholas II demanded 1.5 million rifles and 2 million boxes of ammunition from Britain and France in one breath. At the same time, there were 3,000 heavy machine guns, 200,000 boxes of heavy machine guns, 100,000 boxes of grenades, 2,000 large-caliber guns and 1.5 million shells! That’s not to mention some of his small needs!
Do I really want to be a local tyrant with Britain and France when I go to such a big appetite? The minimum value of these arms listed in this list alone is 20 million pounds! Add him some supplies, and the total value will exceed 30 million pounds, which is far more than that! You tsarists have no money. Are you always rich in English? This is 30-40 million military supplies. Now it’s not just you who are fighting in Russia. The German army of France, Britain and France is fighting more fiercely than your eastern front!
If Nicholas II Sevan is in front of him, Sevan will definitely rush to give him two necks, and his appetite is too great!
But if you don’t give me some benefits, Russia really dares to give up. This Nicholas II is a very bastard and can do anything. Although the western front has entered a relatively stable period, it is still very dangerous. The Germans may send more troops to change the current situation at any time. That ludendorff’s command ability is excellent!
Gee!
Cervantes gnawed his teeth and thought about it carefully. At this time, the bell suddenly rang.
Sevan reached out and picked it up. "Hello, I’m Sevan!"
"Mr Sevan! I am Faliere! "
Words across the street to the French President Faliere flustered voice "that Nicholas II what to do good appetite! It takes so much ammunition to open one mouth * * * * * Where are we going to raise so much ammunition! Bastard! "
Faliere was really angry. The whole war was exploded by France. It was discovered that a part of France’s territory was still in the hands of the Germans. The whole of eastern France has been destroyed by the Germans. In addition, the French industry suffered a big blow. In the previous war, the French army suffered serious losses. The French government had to give a French army the equipment to start the national armament. Now there are not many armaments in France! Nicholas II asked for so many arms as soon as he opened his mouth. Who can stand it?
Sevan wry smile way "Mr. Faliere, I also received the same report from Nicholas II. It’s really outrageous. How is it possible that we always want so much arms aid? Now we also fight and consume much more than Russia … "
Faliere hated, "The Russian army is so useless. It was only a few days ago that the Germans killed a million main troops. That’s a stinking beach!"
Sevan smiled bitterly in his heart. How strong can you French be? If it weren’t for our handsome support, you would not be as good as Russia now! But I can’t say that if Sevan talks about it.
Sevana replied, "But Faliere, we have to help Russia. Russia is now very poor. Don’t forget that Russia has been at war with the Republic of China for years. Every battle is a crushing defeat. It will not only compensate the Republic of China for a large amount of war reparations, but also spend a lot of money on the eastern front of Russia. We have contained hundreds of thousands of German main forces, which has greatly reduced the pressure on the western front. Without Russia, the situation will be even more difficult!"
Alas!
Faliere sighed heavily, and he felt the same way in his heart. Although it hurts a little, it is necessary to provide assistance to Russia. Otherwise, once Russia collapses, France will be even more difficult to support.
"But Nicholas II wants too much. Sevan is now in France. Where can there be extra arms to deploy this? Do you think your country can …"
Faliere said with difficulty that Faliere also had some difficulties, but he didn’t talk to Sevan less these days. He was a little embarrassed himself. He can’t let English do everything, can he?
Sevan Shen said, "Faliere, our empire can raise some arms, but it’s not that much. You also need some. Let’s gather together and be escorted by our imperial navy all the way to St. Petersburg and Nikolai. The number is too huge. We can’t let him come, or there will be a second time for the first time. His appetite will grow bigger and bigger!"
Faliere replied, "Well, Sevan, we in France can be responsible for raising 400,000 rifles, 1 million boxes of bullets, and then take out 600 pretty heavy machine guns to 100,000 boxes of heavy machine guns and grenades, and we can also allocate 50,000 boxes of artillery, so we can take out 1,000 doors and add 600,000 shells. This is our limit …"
Sevan hesitated and replied, "Well, we in Britain are responsible for raising 500,000 rifles, 1.5 million rounds of ammunition, 600 heavy machine guns, 100,000 boxes of heavy machine guns and 50,000 boxes of grenades, and then we will allocate 500 guns and 400,000 rounds of ammunition to them."
Two people estimated a total of 900,000 rifles, 2.5 million boxes of bombs, 1,200 heavy machine guns, 200,000 boxes of heavy machine guns, 100,000 boxes of grenades and 1,500 guns. Although there is still a certain distance from Nikolai’s requirements, this is the limit that the two countries can take out, and they can’t send them in batches and raise them separately!
Sevan replied, "Well, that’s it. We will send these materials to St. Petersburg in three batches. The British Imperial Navy will escort Mr. Faliere. Let’s prepare the materials separately. Nicholas, that guy has only given us less than a month, but it is very compact."
Faliere promised to hang up. At this time, when two people are not talking nonsense, everyone has several things to deal with.
Soon the news came back to Nicholas II.
Nicholas II looked at the replies from Britain and France and nodded. Although he was still somewhat dissatisfied with the figures, he could do the same. Britain and France were under greater pressure from the German main force, and it was hard for them to demand anything. I can expect the Germans not to be so crazy again!
Chapter one thousand one hundred and seventy-four West R East Line
"What? No way! Absolutely not! I will never let you go back to China! "
Ludendorff a face of angry eyes glowing bloodshot stare at Wu Peifu, he is not white how suddenly Wu Peifu back to China! In the past few months, although Wu Peifu only visited the army as a military observer, he always gave himself a suggestion that he didn’t hit the nail on the head and kept a keen eye on the battlefield situation. If he was not from China and was afraid of ludendorff now, he would have been promoted to his chief of staff!
Now, of course, Wu Peifu’s role is that of chief of staff, and ludendorff will consult him for almost every order. During this period, appreciate each other has established a profound friendship! Wu Peifu has also broadened his horizons in the past few months. It is beyond his imagination that the European war should be like this!
Just now, after the two men discussed the military situation, Wu Peifu suddenly talked about going back to China for debriefing. I didn’t expect it to cause such a violent reaction in ludendorff.
Wu Peifu wry smile way "dear general ludendorff, I’m not your soldier or your staff, and I’m not your general. I’m a battlefield observer. I’m a third-party official and I’m China’s ambassador extraordinary to Germany. It’s impossible for me to stay in the battlefield all the time …"
"I don’t care! If you leave, where can I find a great chief of staff like you? I’ll send a telegram to William urging him to keep you here! "
Ludendorff is really in a hurry.
Wu Peifu replied, "ludendorff, I like you very much, too. Working with you has made me learn a lot and learn a lot! However, I am the minister of the Republic of China, and my position determines that I must return to China. According to the regulations of the Republic of China, the minister must return to China every two years for debriefing. This is what the central government requires of me, even William can’t say. "
Ludendorff replied silently for a while, "Wu, you are the most promising military general I have ever seen. Your potential is much higher than mine. Now the European war situation is so tragic that a little carelessness will make the German Empire fall into a state of perdition. The most important thing is the commander-in-chief of the western front. I am under great pressure. I am faced with the attack of two military powers, Britain and France. After you leave, I will never be able to pick a candidate like you to help me command the entire western front war …"
Wu Peifu is also deeply touched. ludendorff has only one million troops on the western front now, and some of them have just been added. Originally, the general staff has transferred Crook’s two regiments. The troops are very nervous, but the British and French Coalition forces across the street have 1.3 million people! Both Xia Fei and Santander are first-class and first-class, and the pressure on ludendorff can be imagined.
Wu Peifu patted ludendorff on the shoulder and said, "ludendorff, there’s nothing I can do about it. Of course, once I finish my work, I will go back to Germany as soon as my president allows me. I found that I like it here a little. Haha, especially with you. You are a pure soldier, which is very different from those politicians!"
Ludendorff some listless sighed, "even if you can come back at the earliest, it will be three months. Who knows what will happen in these three months? Wu, help me one last time. You can predict which direction the future battlefield will develop. What do I need to guard against most? "
Wu Peifu pondered and replied, "ludendorff, if you have to let me speak, I suggest that you must firmly implement the Schrieffen plan. At least the main body can’t change the current eastern front battlefield. But you must never attack Russia and Germany. Although Britain and France are more difficult to deal with, you must bite the hard bone of Britain and France to take France. That means that you have won a key victory in the European war, and you will all take the initiative when it comes to war!"
"What?"
Ludendorff frowned and asked
Wu Peifu came to the map and pointed to the map of Eastern Europe and said, "ludendorff, you see, it’s at least 2,000 kilometers from Berlin to Moscow. This means that if the eastern front attacks, it needs to go deeper than 2,000 kilometers to threaten Moscow and the center of Russia. But what are you going to do with this strategic depth of 2,000 kilometers? There is Poland, Belarus and even a part of Czech territory far away from German soil. How many troops do you need to ensure that the Central Region is completely controlled by the Germans? How hard does it take you to work on the 2000-kilometer front to meet the needs of the front logistics? Moreover, although the Russian army was defeated, they had the potential to limit the war. Russian men could join the army directly without training. They were born soldiers with strong physique and super endurance, which made the Russians have an exhausted reserve army of 3 million. Five million? This is definitely not their limit! How many troops can your country send to take Moscow and St. Petersburg? "
Ludendorff’s face flushed bright red! Yes, he knows that the emperor is too arrogant and bent on swallowing up the whole Russia to establish glorious achievements through the ages, but he is a typical man who is ambitious and talented. According to Wu Peifu’s analysis, the emperor is too absolutely unable to control the situation there, even with Hindenburg, the closest comrade-in-arms, it may not be a shoo-in. The biggest possibility is to drag Germany into the quagmire of war!
