Armored forces, there is another nickname in the top of the Austrian army-"heavy cavalry".

In the eyes of many people, this gadget is a reinforcement plate for cavalry, a true "steel cavalry".

Including the use of armored forces, the Austrian military is also controversial. A considerable number of people think that it is good to use armored troops as cavalry.

In a sense, this view is not unreasonable. The armored forces and cavalry do have many similarities.

For example: they are more expensive than infantry, and have a greater demand for logistics. In the case of severe ice and snow, the movement must be restricted...

Unfortunately, the banks of the Rhine have long been covered by snow and ice. At the lowest temperature in the middle of the night, the temperature may even drop to minus ten degrees.

In this bad weather, if the car wants to start, it must warm up the engine in advance, otherwise it will not catch fire.

In essence, armored forces are similar to cars, but they are more demanding on engine power.

In the face of bad weather, both are similar. It is not impossible to use, the key is that the failure rate in this weather is much higher.

The failure rate of the Austrian armored forces itself is relatively high, if you choose the bad weather action, the scene is simply dare not imagine.

Fortunately, the winter time in Central Europe is not long, and the bad weather is only a few days, and the maintenance work is over.

If the climate of the **** template in Moscow is changed, it is estimated that the armored forces will climb down by one-fifth before the war begins.

It's not the style of Grand Duke Albrecht on his head. As he grew older, Albrecht's military style became more stable.

Not only Albrecht, but most of the commanders of the Austrian army's high-level commanders are of a relatively stable type.

Those who like the sword to go on the wing and win the game unexpectedly are left with a gang of young middle-level officers.

There is no essential difference between the two military styles. It's just that with the change of status, ideology and vision have also changed.

In the army, a place to eat on record, when you are young, you want to struggle upwards. Only by taking risks can you overtake a car in a corner and get rid of your peers.

In fact, most of the generals of the high ranks of the Austrian army used to be the masters of swords, but it was only by surprising victory that they got rid of their competitors and went all the way.

Now only the place of identity has changed. Wealth, identity and status are all there. The era of entrepreneurship has come to an end, and by the time of devotion, steady thinking has gradually gained the upper hand.

Everything has two sides, which is definitely beneficial from the national perspective.

Essentially, any act of a sword in the military is a gamble.

Middle and low-ranking officers have small chips and only need tactical problems. Even if they lose 180 to 80 times, Austria can afford it.

Moreover, there is no fool who can become an officer. Even if you take risks, you will have to be a little sure to act.

In general, the odds of winning will be even greater. After all, before the start of the game, the commander has weighed the risks and benefits.

In many cases, the gain of one win on the battlefield can offset the loss of dozens of defeats.

To put it bluntly, they took out the risky chips, at most there were thousands of children. There are so many losses, and the gain from gambling may be the victory of a battle.

Senior officers are different. They often determine the fate of tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, and even millions of troops. Any failure will hurt the national spirit.

From another perspective, it is different from the standpoint of a soldier. Under this model, it is difficult for Austria to be born.

There is no way. Most of the celebrities admired by mainstream public opinion in the outside world are mostly swordsmen who deflect the wing, surprisingly win, and weak to strong.

The wars that are upright, overwhelming with strength, and won by all-round strength are of course theoretical to everyone and are not recognized.

This is very unfriendly to the Austrian officers. Perhaps when he was young, he still had such a record; but as his position rose, everyone's record became more and more mediocre.

From this perspective, Grand Duke Albrecht is undoubtedly lucky.

I just took a copy of the rebels as soon as I debuted, and then I met a copy of the native chicken. Without much play, I was automatically promoted to a famous general.

Now that he has caught up with the European War, Franz has created a bunch of black technologies, giving him the opportunity to step on the French to the altar and become the new "God of War".

After the military meeting, Albrecht left his nephew alone: ​​"Frederick, you seem to have something to say just now, is it dissatisfied with my arrangement?"

"Marshal, although the current weather is bad, it has not reached the point where the armored forces cannot perform.

While the French did not respond, we will launch a raid tomorrow. The armored forces can easily tear up the French position, and the whole army can definitely hit the French army.

If it drags on for a long time, the armored forces will probably be exposed and the French will be prepared. "

The Austrian army attaches great importance to rules. Uncle and nephew can only be called in private. In the command, the name of Grand Duke Albrecht is only-Marshal.

If you don’t pay attention to the rules, the relationship between European nobles is so complicated. If you accidentally find that there are relatives in the barracks, it will make civilian officers directly desperate.

Despite the fact that nepotism has always played an important role, fortunately, there is still a way. As long as military merit is established on the battlefield, it will rise faster than anyone else.

This path is not only left for civilian officers, but also for the promotion of noble officers.

Don't think that the relationship is strong. When the surroundings are all related, you will find that the final competition is still strength.

No way, who would let the traditions of the German region be everyone joining the army? Nobles from all over the country must enter the army to serve.

Perhaps there are not many members of the heirs of many families, but there are definitely many side members who do not have a knighthood. If you count illegitimate children or the like, this group will be even larger.

At this time, the so-called relationship background is actually less important. After the Austrian army completed its military reform, it did not have enough capacity and no amount of resources could be pushed up.

The most typical example is the crown prince Frederick, and Frederick's age difference is not big, resources, contacts, relationships are all at the top.

The latter is already a lieutenant general, but Crown Prince Frederick retired under the title of lieutenant colonel. It is estimated that this is also the crown prince with the lowest rank since Austria promoted the rank.

Of course, this comparison is very unfair to Frederick, after all, the gap between before and after the military reform is too great.

Take Franz himself as an example. At the beginning of breastfeeding, he was an Austrian officer. Before he became an adult, he became a general. Most of the water could not be compared, then it was all water.

When Frederick arrived, the good days of lying and winning were over. Gone are the beautiful days of marching while eating milk. After graduating from a military school, we must start at the grassroots level just like ordinary students.

As the crown prince, Frederick could not stay in the army all the time, which affected his promotion.

Coupled with luck, I missed the opportunity to go to the battlefield gold-plated. Without any military achievements, becoming a hopeless general, he simply retired.

After the outbreak of the European War, Lieutenant Colonel Frederick, who once again entered the military service, was still waiting for opportunities on the southern front.

Not only the Crown Prince Frederick, including several of his younger brothers, is now in a similar state, scattered in various battlefields waiting for opportunities.

Whether it can develop in the army depends on its own capabilities.

This thing cannot be determined by external force alone, and if it does not work, even if it is pushed up, there is no way to be convincing.

In fact, at first, Franz had considered leaving this opportunity to Frederick.

The rank is too low to serve as the commander of the group army, which is a big deal to lower the level of armored forces. For example: a tank regiment has hundreds of vehicles, and all armored forces are organized into an armored division.

It's just that it's too ugly to eat like this, and Frederick's military command capability is still unknown, and no one can control it. In the event of a play, I would lift a stone and hit my foot.

As the crown prince of Austria, Frederick only needs to follow the gilding, there is no need to run this risk for a little prestige.

In this context, the best chance to brush the record naturally falls on the member of the royal family who has proved his ability.

Grand Duke Albrecht shook his head and said seriously: "Fredrich, you think it's too simple.

Although the coalition forces assembled 1.78 million troops on the banks of the Rhine, nearly one million of them were troops from both countries.

When I was defensive, I had no choice but if I put down my defense and go out to fight the French, who knows what will happen?

Even if the armored forces were able to tear up the positions of the French, and even further divide them into several pieces, we would not be able to eat them, and they would be choked to death.

Domestic means to kill as many French forces as possible. From the beginning, the purpose of this war was to kill more enemies.

After dragging the ice and snow to melt, it is not only for the armored forces to expand more easily, but also for the purpose of gathering troops.

Of course, waiting for the Egyptian battlefield to win or lose is also a key factor.

According to domestic plans, the first battle to be waged was the Egyptian battlefield, then us, and finally the southern front.

This is the strategy that gives the French the most damage.

After creating the established facts of occupying Egypt, and then killing all the way to Paris, even if it caused the intervention of European countries, we also disintegrated the French colonial empire and took control of the Suez Canal.

After losing the African colonies, France's pillars were missing a corner. For decades, it was difficult to restore vitality.

As for the armored forces will be exposed, this was originally expected. Such a big movement, it is simply impossible to keep it secret.

Even if the French received the news, they did not know exactly what the armored forces were doing. Maybe the French would think that they put a layer of steel on the outside of the car.

Remember, Frederick. You are different from ordinary commanders. They can consider the issue purely from the military, but you must consider politics.

For the most part, the military serves politics.

In order to alleviate our pressure on the Western Front in the future, it is not enough to defeat the French. We must hit France hard.

Now all the government's strategies are centered around the core of France.

As long as this strategic goal can be achieved, there is no difference between a victory in the morning and a victory in the evening. "
