Chapter 1496： Fight for interests

Chapter 1496 Competition for interests (2)

The occurrence of such a thing in one's own control area will never be an isolated incident. The prince believed that the political situation in Germany as a whole, especially in Prussia, may have changed. Naturally, this is because of the triumphant advance of the Allied Legion on the Eastern Front, which allowed everyone to see the dawn of victory. They can't wait to pick up their knives and forks to share some benefits. On the other hand, the Kaiser may have taken action....

On this point, the prince has not yet received definite news, but according to Ruprecht’s understanding of William II, this guy who likes to play some tricks, after receiving the news that he will provide help, if he does not do something In terms of action, then he is not William II! He must be looking for ways to consolidate his rights and control over the Parliament, he must be! As for what to do, the prince still needs time to collect information.

"Madan, you can't make a big news at this time!" His Royal Highness muttered in his heart. The prince wants to do things, but the premise for Ruprecht to do things is that the foreign aggression has been done almost, and he will not be pitted to death, but it is just like Prussia... Needless to say, the Center and Right of the Social Democratic Party also held large-scale strikes in Berlin, Hamburg and other areas in the past two days, demanding the abolition of the three-tier elections and demanding that the Prime Minister be held accountable to the Parliament...

To tell the truth, the prince always believed that the German government's control over the big bourgeoisie was not strong, and that World War I was a good deal, at least it could be regarded as honest production, and by World War II, Germany's national control capabilities were simply rubbish! The efficiency is the lowest among the major participating countries! Military production can be described as chaos! The government is completely infiltrated by capitalists. As for this kind of pig teammate, the prince's opinion is also very clear! Those who can be defeated are defeated, those who are not convinced are killed! These political parties can still do these things during the national war. Isn't it too much to apply treason?

Prince Leopold also sent part of the battle report on the Northern Front. The content was naturally the battle between the Mackensen Army and the garrison on the Russian Baltic Sea. In general, after some troops were transferred to the west, Mackenson's army strength remained at around 350,000 to 400,000, while the Russians' strength in this direction was probably above 600,000. So, the overall situation is that Mackenson has more defense, but his offensive ability is insufficient. The two sides have been engaged in a tug-of-war. The German army is advancing slowly, but the pressure on the Russians is not small!

Now, with the help of the German High Seas Fleet Squadron, Mackensen has reached Tallinn, but in the final stage of the siege, the two sides fought very stalemately. Mackensen has surrounded at least 100,000 Russian and paramilitary forces. Units, but in the ruins of the city, the resistance of the Russians was very tenacious. Even though they had lost most of their foreign aid, they still struggled in the streets, barricades, and even ruins.

Such resistance was not without value. Just when Mackensen was attacking the city, the Russians re-mobilized troops from Ukraine and Transcaucasus, and together with the original troops, they established a new line of defense. At the same time, Germany and Finland have also begun to contact. Germany expressed its willingness to support Finland's independence and provide supplies and weapons, but the premise is that they must participate in the war against Russia. The current plan is fairly smooth. So far, Mackensen still hopes that his troops can enter St. Petersburg this year!

From the news sent by the Kaiser, someone has returned to his home country and started his work. The work is progressing smoothly, and the dissatisfaction within Russia is rapidly increasing. Fortunately now, the materials obtained by Russian civilians can barely guarantee their lives. If this war is delayed until winter, I am afraid that Russia will not be able to hold it. The prince said in his heart.

"In fact, if possible, I hope that Mackenson's offensive will not be too aggressive, and the target can be adjusted to move from St. Petersburg to other areas." The prince lifted the pen in his hand and wrote on a letterhead. On the eve of Russia’s collapse, the prince believed that there was no need to exert too much pressure. The troops should advance in the direction of Belarus and occupy more territory instead of entangled in occupying the capital, because the attack on the latter would make the Russians feel bad. The resistance was surprisingly fierce. This is not a good thing for Germany. Relatively speaking, it is more important to occupy more territory and prepare for future negotiations.

After getting a general understanding of the entire Eastern Front, the prince began to adjust the deployment. Since the situation in the Balkans has been greatly eased due to the surprise attack by the Spey Fleet, in a short time, continue to concentrate a large number of them here. The military strength, especially the aviation team, has become outdated. After all, the prince’s attitude towards the Allied powers is not completely based on the enemy of Asia Minor. The icing on the cake is never as good as the snow in the snow. The prince needs Britain and France to land in Asia Minor. Only in this way can Turkey realize it. The importance of Germany as an ally, therefore, we must create this "opportunity" for Britain and France!

It can be expected that the Russian army seems to be planning to launch another large-scale offensive in southern Ukraine This may be the last large-scale offensive by the Russians in Ukraine. If this time it can hit the opponent severely in the field. If it is, then I am afraid that whether it is to advance to Donetsk or to the further place-the lower Volga area, the offensive will become quite smooth. The reason is simple, the Russians have no soldiers.

Therefore, the prince intends to mobilize some troops from the Balkans and supplement most of the newly added equipment to Prince Leopold. His task is to take advantage of the Bavarian Army in the north when Russia launches an offensive against the Hungarian Army in the lower Dnieper area. Forcibly cross the Dnieper River and then quickly follow the confluence south, in a large-scale encirclement!

As for how to fight after this battle is over? Is that still necessary? Push directly over, and in order to ensure the speed of advancement, at the right time, Ruprecht will require the army and the Allied Mediterranean fleet to cooperate with each other to carry out landing operations in the coastal areas of Ukraine and Transcaucasus, and if possible, fall into civil strife in Russia. After that, see if you can take Sevastopol at a lower cost and remove the last nail. In this case, a large amount of supplies and troops can be transported by sea, logistical pressure will be reduced a lot, and the speed of marching will increase a lot. The purpose of the prince is to occupy Baku this year!
