"Your Highness, the phone number with Prince Leopold is connected." Lieutenant General Caripot said to the prince.

"Very good." Rupresit nodded and took the microphone. As a time traveler, the prince naturally knew that the battle in the history of the Russians that sounded the death knell for two empires at the same time - the Borusinov offensive. This offensive severely damaged the Austro-Hungarian Legion and also exhausted Russia's last bit of strength. The strength of this death strike made the prince not take it seriously, so he needed to speak with Prince Leopold for a phone call and talk about this matter.

"According to aviation reconnaissance and the intelligence we collected, at least 7 divisions of the Russian army were transferred from the northern and central lines to the southern line. In addition, their troops were originally stationed on the southern line, and their troops were about to exceed 380,000. Although the Hungarian army was not in terms of force in terms of the southern line, there were nearly 300,000 people, and the troops were slightly superior after 70,000 Germans, but I really don't like the combat effectiveness of the 300,000 Hungarians. They estimated that they could not even defeat the Austrian army of 100,000. And they lacked preparation. If the Russians really launched an attack in the near future, it would definitely be a disaster." Prince Leopold said with some concern.

"So, what is the attitude of the Hungarians after you tell them the news?" asked the prince.

"They have no attitude..." the prince said a moment later.

"What does it mean to have no attitude?" The prince felt a little messy.

"Because so far, including the Austrian Legion, apart from receiving reports from the Hungarians that continued to request more supplies and equipment, there was no mention of this battle. Instead, Lieutenant General Seckett sent me a telegram, saying that he would help Hungary stabilize the front as much as possible and demand a large amount of supplies at the same time." Prince Leopold said.

"Fuck, okay, this is a world where you won't die if you don't die, and it's also a world that's worse." The prince took a few deep breaths and stabilized his somewhat messy mood. To be honest, he really disliked the Hungarians, and even hoped that this great Hungary could collapse into Hungary after the World War in history, and then kicked out Austro-Hungary. However, as an Allied army, the prince really hadn't stabbed the Hungarian army. Of course, if the support Hungary wanted might have been ruined, it was not that the prince refused to give it to him, but that it took time to transport it. I don't know if I could catch up with this battle.

"Take the map." The prince has temporarily set the Hungarians' pitfalls this time, so now, all plans will revolve around "The Hungarians are finished"! Needless to say, the Russians will eventually be able to defeat the Hungarians, but they lack battlefield mobility and cannot penetrate the position quickly. Therefore, this is destined to be a defeat war rather than a large-scale encirclement and annihilation battle. Perhaps the Hungarians will retreat hundreds of kilometers, but it will take at least two weeks of the Russian attack, and the defense line in southern Ukraine will be depressed by a large chunk. Then, the Russian army chooses a suitable place to re-establish the front line.

For the Russians, the impact of this battle is so great. They are now weaker than the Russian army when the Borusinov campaign was launched in history, and the pressure is greater than that in history. The prince believes that Borusinov can win a big victory. However, it is impossible to change the basic foundation of the entire Ukrainian war zone.

So what was the motive for the Russians to launch this battle? The prince was also very clear, so it was naturally delayed! Delay time to the harvest season as much as possible. In this way, relying on half of Ukraine's food and coal, the Russians could survive this winter. Otherwise, in December, some parts of Russia might have a large-scale uprising due to food and fuel shortage. You must know that in the winter of Russia, no fuel is more deadly than no food!

Well, what should the prince do now? He goes south to help Hungary at all costs? If this is the case, the battle will probably not be able to catch up at the beginning, but at least, it can ensure that the Hungarians will not lose so badly, but is this worth it? The prince's brain quickly calculates the pros and cons like a high-speed computer.

The Russians were doing a big move this time. If they wanted to stabilize the southern line, it would not be possible without more than 100,000 troops entering. Tens of thousands of people were instantly diluted when they threw them into the southern line. The mobilization and combat of more than 100,000 troops would obviously consume a large amount of supplies stored in Bavaria. What they received was only a little bit lighter by the Russians. However, if they killed some Russian troops, they felt that they had lost money no matter how they looked...

After all, the Russians' life gate is now under the army of Prince Leopold. As long as they can cross the Dnieper River, the entire Ukraine will probably fall into the control of the Bavarian Legion before the autumn harvest. The most critical output and coal production areas of the Russians are gone. The Transcaucasus and the lower Volga are exposed to themselves, and the benefits are greater and the consumption will not be more. So, from a military or political perspective, it would be better to let Prince Leopold continue his previous plans.

However, this is not enough. The prince needs to make this plan more perfect!

"How many troops do we have now? Including the elite troops in the Austrian Legion." asked the prince.

"The Bavarian and Bohemia have stationed about 8 divisions in the Balkans. Austria has an army group in the Balkans, with about 350,000 troops. Among them, I think the pretty good troops have about 6 divisions and about 100,000 troops." Kariput said after thinking for a while.

"So have any updates from the British and French coalition forces recently?" the prince asked again.

"At present, they suffered a lot in the previous stage of the battle. The British's most elite division was severely damaged by us. The French had at least two casualties before they even came on the court. The navy and air force also suffered a lot of losses. They were not able to launch an attack in a short period of time. If you need troops, we can draw at least 4 Bavarian divisions and more than 3 Austrian divisions." Kariput naturally knew what the prince was thinking and gave the answer very directly.

"That's good. Send a telegram to Earl Spee immediately and ask him to come to the headquarters." The prince smiled slightly, nodded, and said with satisfaction. Then he ignored Kariput, who was somewhat confused, and continued to pick up the phone and talk to the prince.

"We have already reminded us that the Bavarian and Bohemia legions will start the battle as planned. Tell the Austrian legions commander Conrad to ensure the safety of the center line, and at the same time, help Lieutenant General Sector with spare energy. I don't trust the combat effectiveness of the Hungarians. I am worried that they will cheat Conrad, and the only thing they can trust is the German army brought by Sector."
