"According to the agreement reached between the top leaders of the two countries, after the war broke out, the Austro-Hungarian Empire would be responsible for resisting the attack of the Russian army before the main force of the German army advanced eastward. In order to achieve this goal, we have formulated a detailed and feasible strategy. Let me introduce the specific situation to the guests who came from afar." Conrad stood up and came to a huge map, and then used the putter in his hand to introduce the situation.

"After the war breaks out, the Austro-Hungarian Empire will launch four armies on the borders of the two countries. On this 400-kilometer-long defense line, we can invest at least ten armies and at least eight cavalry divisions. Once the war starts, the attack direction of the first and second armies will be between the Vistula and the West Prague River, and with the cooperation of the Bavarian Legion, the Russian group will be crushed in western Poland."

"The other two armies and some independent troops will launch an attack on the Russian army in Dubno and Lutsk. In order to facilitate the Bavarian legion, we have set the attack direction specifically at a relatively close position to your country. The Bavarian legion and our two armies will surround the opponent's forces at least two armies and take the initiative in one fell swoop." Conrad said.

"This plan is not realistic." Conrad just finished his introduction, and Ruprecht opposed it.

"Why? This plan is already very reasonable. We have fully considered the situation of both parties." Although Conrad was a little dissatisfied, he decided to explain first.

"You at least didn't consider our situation, and your understanding of the Russians was very limited." The prince stood up and picked up a putter from his servant and said, "In your plan, your propulsion speed to the Austro-Hungarian Legion is set at a speed of 15 to 18 kilometers per day. This speed is too slow. The army-level propulsion speed in Bavaria is about 30 kilometers per day. Even for heavy artillery troops, the daily travel distance is more than 25 kilometers."

Then His Highness **** drew an arc with a putter, "In this case, our troops can quickly complete the encirclement, but your troops have just left the starting position. The two legions cannot form a joint force at all. Instead, they will form a time difference, allowing the other side to defeat each other. If we want to cooperate, the Austro-Hungarian Legion, which cooperates with the Bavarian Legion, must move at more than 25 kilometers per day."

"When maneuvering in the rear, I believe that your side has the ability to maneuver on the road at a speed of more than 30 kilometers per day, but we are on the battlefield and we need to break through the opponent's defense line and fortress. Such a speed is simply unimaginable. In fact, 18 kilometers per day is our limit." Conrad's estimate is still relatively reliable. Historically, the Russians' breakthrough speed in the Battle of Silesia was only 90 to 110 kilometers in 6 days.

"If it is maneuvering in the rear, our army-level unit will move at about 45 kilometers! All our heavy artillery and most heavy equipment have been towed. The number of vehicles equipped with a military unit is more than 700. Even the above are equipped with separate vehicles to be responsible for supply. We have conducted several experiments in field maneuvering. Compared with our Prussian colleagues, our speed is at least 60% faster! You can't keep up."

"And the most important thing is that we have a weapon to tear open the Russian defense line. Our armored troops can easily destroy unenhanced positions. Russian military-level units do not have gradient defense capabilities. They are logistics supply units less than 20 kilometers behind their large troops. We can completely destroy their rear supply points directly at much smaller costs, and then surround the Russians isolated." The prince said.

"But the Russians have a large number of cavalry, and those Cossacks can quickly block the gap. Moreover, we are still skeptical about the combat effectiveness of the new armored troops. At least before verified, I think the speed of such an attack interspersed is not realistic." Conrad wiped his cold sweat and said.

Bavaria was figuring out new things, he knew about this, but he did not expect that after some preparation, the Bavarian Legion would have such combat power. If it were someone else's words, he would definitely not believe it, and at most he would treat it as a joke. However, ****'s reputation for doing things is still very good, at least there has never been any deviation in major events. Thinking about the scene when Ruprecht**** took hundreds of various vehicles from Munich to Vienna, he believed the prince's words three points first.

"If you have any objections to the attack speed and breakthrough speed of the Bavarian Legion, we can organize an act, and we can use reality to prove that everything I said is true. If we have to say from a practical experience, I think the entire alliance does not have as much experience as the Bavarian Legion? Isn't it? Our officers and soldiers participated in at least three local wars. We have more say in formulating plans." Invisibly, Ruprecht took the initiative.

Through exercises, we can test the combat effectiveness of the army, study new tactics, and then revise the plan. This is normal for the army in peacetime. For example, the Schrieffern plan of Germany, the A-Plan of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, and the No. 19 plan of Russia were all made during peacetime. They were set up based on the train chart and exercise experience, plus the brains of the staff? Then after the war started, they started directly according to the plan. So if the prince asked to prove everything with exercises, then neither Conrad nor Ferdinand could deny it in theory.

But at this time, the Crown Prince Ferdinand could never agree. After all, Bavaria trained a lot every year, and the news from Germany also indirectly proved the strength of the Bavarian army. If this verification exercise proved Ruprecht's statement, then this plan would really have to be overhauled, and the direction of overhaul was not unilaterally decided by the Austro-Hungarian Empire.

"Australia-Hungarian Empire has been under major pressure after all, so we naturally need to design the entire plan based on the situation of the imperial army. I admit that the strength of the Bavarian Legion, but this strength is more on the tactical level, so I hope you can consider it strategically." Looking at Conrad, the Crown Prince Ferdinand finally spoke, but his words were not innovative, and even made the Bavarian military personnel present disgusted, at least Prince Leopold felt very dissatisfied.

"We are in a cooperative relationship, not a subordinate relationship. The German General Staff did not place us under your command, so we refused to consider the situation in Bavaria. We cooperated with your country with twelve-tenths of sincerity, rather than being cannon fodder!" Prince Leopold was speechless across the face.
