In the city of Warsaw, the headquarters of the Russian Northwest Front Army.
Since the Russian 1st Army and 2nd Army were almost completely annihilated, General Ivan Jilinsky, the commander of the Russian Northwest Front, was very anxious, for fear that Tsar Nicholas II would directly order him to be arrested and sent to prison. Hanged. However, after several days passed, Tsar Nicholas II did not issue such an order, which made Admiral Ivan Jilinsky heave a sigh of relief while feeling puzzled. After all, no one wants to die.
Until later, when Nicholas II issued an order, he only reprimanded Admiral Ivan Jilinsky, but did not remove him from the post of commander of the Northwest Front Army. At the same time, two group armies were also dispatched to reinforce the Kingdom of Poland, under the command of the Northwest Front Army. This made Admiral Ivan Jilinski very grateful, and in the telegram sent to Nicholas II, he even stated that he would definitely defend the Kingdom of Poland. If he can't keep it, he will commit suicide and apologize.
After reading the telegram sent by Admiral Ivan Jilinsky, Nicholas II threw it aside and ignored it. It wasn't that he didn't want to convict Admiral Ivan Jilinsky. He really couldn't find a suitable candidate to replace Admiral Ivan Jilinsky. General Ivan Jilinsky served as the chief of staff of the Russian Army, and the other generals more or less gave him some face. If it were someone else, I'm afraid they would not be able to command those arrogant soldiers immediately.
Other Russian generals seemed unwilling to go to the Kingdom of Poland to take over this mess. In fact, they are also very clear that the situation in the Kingdom of Poland is already very tense. After the German army won the victory in East Prussia, the next step must be to attack the Kingdom of Poland. Since he is the commander of the Northwest Front Army, he has to fight against the powerful German army. With the precedent of the Northwest Front Army, everyone is afraid that it will become the next target of the Germans to defeat. In that case, the consequences would be very serious. If it doesn't work out, even my life will be lost. Therefore, Admiral Ivan Jilinsky was able to escape, and he continued to sit in his current position.
"General Letsky and General Krapovich, when will they arrive in Warsaw?" Admiral Ivan Jilinski looked very anxious. Now, the German army has arrived in Warsaw, but the reinforcements of the Russian army have not yet arrived. If the German army launched an attack, how could such a small number of Russian troops in Warsaw be able to defend it. After the failure of the two battles in East Prussia, which led to the destruction of the 1st and 2nd armies, Admiral Ivan Jilinski had already developed a fear of the German army.
"General, the 9th Army is still in Lublin, and the 2nd Guards Army has just set off from Biya to Stoker." The staff officer reported.
"Asshole! Didn't they report yesterday that they are heading towards Warsaw? Why are they still on the way now?" Admiral Ivan Jilinski was furious.
If the reinforcements cannot reach Warsaw for a day, he has no way to rest assured. I am afraid that the German army will attack. Once he can't keep Warsaw, then his end will undoubtedly be very tragic.
"General, the German artillery is preparing, and it looks like it will launch an artillery attack on Warsaw soon." Suddenly, an officer rushed into the headquarters and reported to Admiral Ivan Jilinski.
"Damn it!" Admiral Ivan Jilinsky couldn't help cursing.
"Boom! Boom!"
Suddenly, continuous explosions sounded in the city, and one building after another was destroyed under the shelling of the German army. Residents of Warsaw fled long before the Germans launched their offensive. For these civilians, the German army did not stop them. Now, almost all that remains in Warsaw is the Russian army. Therefore, the German army was able to fire unscrupulously.
"Boom!" A shell exploded not far from the Russian army's headquarters. This made Ivan Jilinsky's face even more ugly.
"Send a telegram to the 9th Army and the 2nd Guards Army, telling them that they must arrive in Warsaw within three days. Otherwise, I will report their disobedience to His Majesty the Tsar. I want to see , Will they be able to bear the responsibility for the defeat." Admiral Ivan Jilinsky said with a gloomy face.
He is obviously going to play a rogue. If the responsibility for the defeat can be shifted to General Letsky and General Krapovich, then he can take the opportunity to get away. As for what kind of consequences this will cause, I am afraid it is not his consideration.
"Yes, General." The communications officer immediately went to send a telegram.
According to General Ivan Jilinsky, the reason why General Letsky and General Krapovich were slow on the road was simply to punish him. Once Warsaw fell and the Kingdom of Poland perished, Tsar Nicholas II would definitely not let him go. Therefore, he must try his best to save his own life. If the two of them still don't obey the order, then even if he dies, he will pull the two of them back.
"Two armies, 400,000 people, and one of them is an elite guard army. No matter how strong the Germans are, they will definitely have no problem holding Warsaw!" General Ivan Jilinski said.
"Yes, General. The Germans' combat effectiveness is indeed very strong, but the Second Guards Army is also well-equipped and brave in combat. Even in field battles, it cannot beat the Germans. But if it is defensive, it is enough to knock Warsaw The operation has become a fortress. Even the tank troops of the Germans can't even think about defeating us." General Samsonov, commander of the Russian Second Army, said.
After the Second Army was encircled and wiped out, General Samsonov, the commander, had better luck and escaped successfully. However, after fleeing back to Warsaw, he almost became a polished commander. However, he has a close relationship with Admiral Ivan Jilinsky, so he still has a place in the Northwest Front Army Command. Of course, the reason why Tsar Nicholas II did not deal with him was because he was in a desperate situation and did not betray the Russian Empire. Unlike Admiral Leiningkamp, he immediately surrendered to Germany. In comparison, he's pretty good. Therefore, Nicholas II let him go.
Of course, this is just letting them go temporarily. If the Russian army fails miserably in the Kingdom of Poland, the angry Tsar Nicholas II will definitely send them all to the gallows. Tsar Nicholas II never showed mercy to those losers.
