Chapter 740 Malicious
"The front line of the Sixth Army has been almost wiped out, and the remaining remnants can be killed quickly. We have accepted many villages and towns. The Russians have done too much, so the Poles have no resistance to us. The population in the border area is much smaller than we imagined. The Russians systematically relocated the Polish population a few years ago, which saved us a lot of trouble."
"The only pity is that several border garrison divisions and support units that have newly joined the Sixth Army may not be able to catch up with them. They are in a low position and run very quickly. Our fuel consumption is a bit large. It exceeds expectations." Kariput said.
"There are some in the frontline reserve oil depot. Take it and kill as many Russians as possible. Otherwise, whether they go to the North or South, the pressure on Markensen and the Austro-Hungarian Legion will increase greatly, especially the latter. I am very worried. Markensen is a mobile warfare master. The real-time situation is unfavorable, and there is still a way to fight or leave. As for the Austrians? It would be great if they can guarantee that they will not lose too badly." Ruprecht said.
Kariput looked at Schmidt, who was lowering his head next to him. The latter shook his head slightly and refused to speak. Kariput, unwilling to accept, touched the corner of the other party's clothes again. The latter's reaction was to lower his head even lower.
"What are you doing? Just say something! Anyone who stands at the door with such a big move can see it!" Prince Ruprecht said dissatisfiedly.
"Actually, we can't chase it." Kariput said.
"What do you think? You can't even beat the dog in the water? What have you learned from Prince Leopold for so many years?" the prince said half-seriously and half-jokingly.
"I mean, our reserve oil depot may not be enough. Just yesterday, Lieutenant General Sainz, who is in charge of logistics, sent a telegram that the fuel we purchased from Romania was intercepted by the Austrians. Unless we use local fuel or lower the inventory of battlefield fuel below the standard line, we do not have enough fuel to launch a large-scale attack." Baron Schmidt spoke on the side.
"Intercept my stuff? Are you kidding? Who is so bold?" the prince sneered. The cold air in his words could even make a layer of ice on the glass!
"It is said that Grand Duke Carl proposed that some generals of the Austro-Hungarian Legion reconsidered, and finally submitted it to the Austrian Emperor by Marshal Conrad. The report said that they had a difficult fight, so some fuel supply was needed. Prince Leopold had set off for Vienna and was preparing to discuss this matter with the emperor. There might be a result, but it might not be too late now." Kariput calculated the time and said.
"A bunch of bastards! A bastard who can only help! "Ruprecht swears in front of his subordinates for the first time. "Fritz really thinks he is very powerful? Without us, what can the Austro-Hungarian army do? A group of guys who have been defeated repeatedly. I even hope to cooperate with me are the Serbs!"
The prince, who knew the Austro-Hungarian army well, naturally knew that there must be tricks. Although the Austro-Hungarian Legion deployed 4 on the northern line, its total strength was not much greater than that of the Bavarian Legion and the Bohemian Legion. Moreover, most of them used horses, the number of cars was far inferior to that of the Bavarian Legion, and the number of tanks and armored vehicles was even rarer. What's more important is that their attack depth was very short, and they couldn't use much farther after they came down from the railway terminal. The logistics pressure was actually not great. In history, the Austro-Hungarian Legion did not say that the logistics supply was not available. The Austrians prepared more fully in this plane, and there was no reason for logistics problems.
And even if there are some logistical problems, it is absolutely unreasonable to intercept our fuel directly. The copy of your plan was reported to the Austrian Emperor before the start of the battle. The latter ensured that the traffic line was smooth, and the prince had no worries to launch a black lightning. But at the end, when the end was about to be completed, and when the situation was unstoppable and was about to reap the final benefits, Austrian Emperor had made this happen to himself. If there was no game or political purpose from the Austrian senior officials, Ruprecht would definitely not believe it, especially now, Austrian Emperor did not establish a new crown prince, and Grand Duke Carl also participated!
"I'm drunk even if I'm planning on my own people just now," Ruprecht calmed down and said with a wry smile.
"The Austrian Legion has not collapsed yet?" Just as Caripot and Schmidt were silent, the prince's words surprised them.
"It's okay, the equal share with the Russians on the southern front is no problem yet." Kariput said. He really can't tell what the prince would do now. If he was in Germany, this could end up with the German Emperor, and maybe he could even lose his hat. But it was different in the Austro-Hungarian Empire. First of all, Austro-Emperor was the prince's father-in-law. This was his own business, and it would be different as soon as something was mixed with. Secondly, the Bavarian Legion was a visiting army after all, and local tyrants might not be able to fight, but their ability to cause trouble was not ordinary.
There is another saying that Kariput didn't say, that is, the Bavarian army has now defeated two armies, and the entire Eastern Front battlefield has become beneficial to Germany and Austria. Whether it is the Russian army heading north to deal with the Northern Front or the Russian army on the Southern Front, it can be said that they have the advantage. The current situation is as stable as a dog. At this time, the Austro-Hungarian Empire believes that it is no big deal to do something......
"Then try to fight. We should rest after the fight." The prince said calmly.
"What then?" Kariput asked.
"Then? Some of the troops may go to the Western Front? As for the Eastern Front? Let's sit and watch the Austro-Hungarian Legion collapse. Some people will not know how to respect others without suffering." A chill appeared in the prince's words.
Ruprecht really didn't want the result of the Galician Battle to repeat itself in this plane. He even made preparations. After the battle, the troops rested for one month to two months. Then a unit went north to support Markenson, led the main force to advance eastward, and attacked the four Russian legions from two directions with the Austro-Hungarian Legion. And now, the prince found that he was really thinking too much... He finally understood what it means to not die without committing suicide...
"Calculate the results of the battle and send them to the General Staff. By the way, let me collect the situation on the Western Front. I heard that our attack was not going smoothly some time ago?" The prince thought about what he said to the people below. Some problems occurred on the Western Front, which attracted the prince's high attention. Because this is not history!
