Neville's so-called spring offensive has already reached a massive scale on the surface. The outstanding French army alone is hundreds of thousands strong, including the British Expeditionary Force, the Balkan Allied Forces, and the Italian Army, bringing the total number of troops dispatched by the Allies to over 3 million.
It's worth noting that this is not long after the battles of Verdun and the River Somme have just ended, and Britain, France, and Germany have already suffered heavy casualties. Being able to deploy such a scale of troops for a new round of battles is already the result of the entire Allied Nations' efforts.
One could say that, except for Russia, which is in a defensive posture, Britain, France, Australasia, and Italy have dispatched considerable-scale armies to participate in this battle.
For this reason, all countries attach great importance to the upcoming battle and even regard it as an opportunity to resolve the war.
At present, all countries are urgently transporting supplies and ammunition to the frontlines, waiting for a full-fledged attack in a few months.
Due to the importance attached to this battle, the efficiency of transportation resources provided by various countries is quite high. Even the Australasia is fervently using transport ships and airships to transport supplies to the Balkan region.
Currently, the Australasia Expeditionary Force has stockpiled two million shells, which will become a powerful tool for destroying the defenses of the Austro-Hungarian Empire and Germany.
For the Allied Nations, the situation in the Austro-Hungarian Empire is not very good.
The recent passing of Old Emperor Franz I has led the government, which had been firmly supporting the war, to gradually split into two factions - one that firmly supports the continuation of the war, and another that believes that the Austro-Hungarian Empire needs more time and that peace is far more important than war.
Carl I obviously does not have the prestige of the old emperor, but as the Austrian Emperor, King of Hungary, and King of Bohemia, Carl I does not have much say in the imperial government and the Hungarian Kingdom Government.
With the Austro-Hungarian Empire's continuous failures on the southern front, the drawbacks of the suppression policies it had previously implemented in the South Slavia region have gradually come to light.
A large number of Bosnians of Serbian descent have picked up their long guns and joined the ranks of those fighting against the Austro-Hungarian Empire under Serbia's call, quickly strengthening the power of the Balkan Front.
Even in areas that have not yet been visited by the Balkan Allied Forces, there have been numerous rebellions by South Slavs against the tyranny of the Austro-Hungarian Empire.
Especially after the death of Old Emperor Franz I, these people did not have a high opinion of the new Emperor Carl I.
The only choice for the Austro-Hungarian Empire now is to seek help from its powerful ally, the German Empire.
It is worth mentioning that, shortly after his accession, Carl I dismissed Austro-Hungarian Chief of General Staff Conrad from his post.
In fact, Conrad's various campaign decisions since the outbreak of the war have been very excellent, but his indomitable and self-reliant attitude was not welcomed by Carl I.
This notorious last monarch of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, without hesitation, has completely shattered his empire's last hope of salvation.
Chief of General Staff Conrad's capabilities were, in fact, very good. Throughout history, he has repeatedly thwarted Italian attacks, allowing the Austro-Hungarian Empire to prolong its existence.
Some historians and military experts even consider him an outstanding strategic genius, limited only by the weak military power of the Austro-Hungarian Empire.
Of course, these discussions have now become meaningless. Conrad, the Chief of General Staff, was demoted to the commander of the Trentino Front and was far removed from the highest level of the Austro-Hungarian military.
