Jagged Germany

"Your Excellency Marshal, the Russian Southwest Front Army is almost completely wiped out. In the next six months, Russia is unlikely to pose a threat to the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Therefore, the next battlefield on the Eastern Front is up to you to maintain. I am going to lead the 8th Army and return to Germany." In Uzhhorod, Qin Tian bid farewell to Marshal Herzendorf, chief of the Austrian general staff.

"His Royal Highness, should we just stop attacking like this? Now that the Russian Southwest Front Army has suffered a disastrous defeat, it is a great opportunity for us to launch an attack on Russia! As long as we launch an attack, we can easily capture a large area of ​​western Russia." Hehe Marshal Baron Zendorf said.

   Indeed, in the eyes of many Austrian generals, it would be a pity to stop the offensive now. The main force of the Russian army has been wiped out by them, which means that the territories in western Russia will easily fall into their hands like ripe peaches. And what they have to do is just tiptoe to pick it.

  During this war, the Austro-Hungarian Empire has always been suppressed by Russia, which also made the generals of the Austro-Hungarian Empire hate Russia very much when they feared Russia. Given the opportunity to kill the Russians, it is naturally difficult for them to give up such an opportunity.

  For Qin Tian, ​​it was also difficult to make such a decision. Inside the German army, there are also many people who hope to take the opportunity to launch an offensive and occupy Russian territory. After all, a series of previous battles have proved that the Russian army is not an opponent of the powerful German army at all, even if the Russian army has completed its mobilization and sent a large number of troops to attack them. With the strength of the German army, there is absolutely no need to be afraid.

  However, Qin Tian still had to suppress the greed in his heart and reject the suggestions of the generals. Among other things, it's late October now. Soon, the cold winter will come. And the winter in Russia is frightening. Before and after Napoleon, then there was Hitler, they are all role models for Qin Tian! Qin Tian would never easily launch an attack on the hinterland of Russia before he was fully prepared. Even if one day he will go to war with Russia, he will take a gradual approach to gradually encroach on Russia's territory, and he will never hope to defeat Russia in one or two battles. Because, Qin Tian knew that it was simply impossible. Russia's terrifying strategic depth and huge population base will be the greatest enemy of all countries that attempt to destroy it.

  In addition, Qin Tian was looking forward to the outbreak of civil strife in Russia. If Russia's serious defeat on the battlefield can cause a revolution in Russia, then Qin Tian can easily get everything he wants. Qin Tian remembered that in another time and space, the Russian cloth party paid a price in order to withdraw from the First World War and make peace with Germany. Of course, when Germany was defeated, the Budapest party immediately tore up the treaty and reoccupied all the ceded territories. In this time and space, if everything continues to develop, Germany may also be able to obtain those benefits without any effort. If Germany wins this world war, the Russian cloth party will naturally have no way to tear up the treaty like in another time and space. At that time, those territories will become German territories. Because of these territories, Germany will develop stronger and become the true hegemon of Europe.

   Of course, these cannot be disclosed to the Austro-Hungarian Empire.

"Your Excellency Marshal, although we have severely damaged the Russian army, their main force is still there. After mobilization, Russia can still arm millions of troops. Therefore, their strength should not be underestimated. In addition, the Western Front has fallen into a crisis. The stalemate, the strength of the Anglo-French coalition forces is constantly growing, which will be very unfavorable to us. Therefore, I must bring the 8th Army back to China, and then put it into the Western Front, and strive to win the Western Front in one fell swoop. Breakthrough progress." Qin Tian said.

   "Okay, Your Royal Highness, then I wish your Highness a successful start on the Western Front." Baron Herzendorf's eyes flashed an inexplicable emotion. In his heart, there is undoubtedly some entanglement. He hoped that Qin Tian would agree to cooperate with them in launching a new round of attack, but he hoped that Qin Tian would refuse. If there is the cooperation of the German 8th Army, after they launch a new round of offensive, the chance of winning will be greater and the risk will be smaller. However, in the same way, Germany will also share a lot of benefits from it, and the Austro-Hungarian Empire will only be able to pick up a little leftovers. This is completely unacceptable to the Austro-Hungarian Empire.

  At the same time, as the main force against the Allies, the victory or defeat of the German army on the Western Front is directly related to whether the Allies can win this war. Therefore, Baron Herzendorf, Marshal and even the entire Austro-Hungarian Empire also hope that Germany can win on the Western Front. Only in this way can they keep their own victory. Otherwise, once Germany fails, the Austro-Hungarian Empire will not end well.

  In late October, Qin Tian left Uzhhorod. At the same time, the 8th Army also began to go north, returning to East Prussia for rest. The newly formed Ninth Army will be stationed in the Kingdom of Poland. Once the Eighth Army advances west next year and participates in the Great War on the Western Front, East Prussia and the Kingdom of Poland will have to rely on the Ninth Army for defense. Of course, if possible, Qin Tian would also like to form a new legion to strengthen the defense on the eastern front. Although Austria-Hungary is a staunch ally of Germany. However, they also have their own interests. So, not so Karp!

  When the German 8th Army went north, the Austro-Hungarian Empire was also actively supplementing the three armies deployed on the Eastern Front. They also lost a large number of troops in this war. After supplementation, strength will soon be restored. Even, a newly formed army group of the Austro-Hungarian Empire will go to the Eastern Front. In this case, the Austrian Army would have four armies with 1.2 million soldiers on the Eastern Front. Such a huge army is obviously not just for defense. With the victory on the Eastern Front, the ambitions of the Austro-Hungarian Empire were gradually revealed.

  Of course, this is the Austro-Hungarian Empire's own calculation, and all of this has nothing to do with Germany and Qin Tian. After the Russian Southwest Front Army was almost completely wiped out, the crisis on the Eastern Front in Germany could basically be resolved. This allowed Germany to ignore the threat of Russia and concentrate on accumulating strength to prepare for the challenge on the Western Front. Defeating the British and French allied forces on the Western Front is directly related to the outcome of this war.
