"Your Highness, what are you doing now?" General Boer asked.

"I? Of course I will go to Munich immediately. Something big happened in Austro-Hungary, and I am still waiting for me to clean up." The prince looked as if he was taken for granted, and his expression seemed to be, if I don't do this, would you let me do it?

"Well, I hope you succeed on the Eastern Front." General Boer said.

In fact, it is necessary to go back to deal with the Eastern Front at this time, because the Russian offensive has gradually reached its peak. The entire Austro-Hungarian Empire in the Galician region can be described as defeat. Prince Leopold has already brought 7 divisions of troops to support the Austro-Hungarian Legion. The Bavarian Legion cannot be without the person in charge, so the prince must immediately take over the relevant work and be prepared to support his uncle.

"The Austro-Hungarian Army is in a very bad situation. Although at the beginning of the battle, the attack of the Austro-Hungarian Army caused great trouble to the Russians, and made breakthroughs in part, and even forced some Russian army to enter defense. At the beginning, the battle of the Austro-Hungarian Army was also relatively tenacious. But unfortunately, the Russians had huge advantages in terms of military strength and equipment. After a long period of consumption, this advantage gradually accumulated into victory. The situation of the Austro-Hungarian Army began to worsen. When Conrad realized the imbalance of military strength, he planned to shrink the defense line. At this time, the Russian armored vehicles and cavalry played a huge role. They bravely interspersed between the Austro-Hungarian Army, attacked the flanks and stage support. Cooperating with the frontal Russian army to break through the defense line, the entire front quickly became fragmented. A large number of troops were divided."

"At this time, the Emperor of Austria asked us for help. According to your original order and arrangement, Prince Leopold entered Galicia from Bohemia with three armies and one rapid division. The first thing the Prince Prince encountered was the right wing of the Russian Fourth Army. The battle went on very quickly, and the four divisions spreading in a fan shape easily defeated the opponent. But when we approached the first target, Krashinik (now a city in the Lublin Province of Poland), we found that the Austro-Hungarian Legion had left..."

"Then His Highness the Prince could only take his troops backwards to avoid being besieged by the Fourth and Ninth German Army. In the end, we finally stabilized half of the front in the round of Przemisher and the Second Austro-Hungarian Army. However, the situation on the half front in the east was very bad. The Russians captured Lviv and had plans to continue to advance westward." Lieutenant General Kur, chief of staff of the Bavarian Legion, briefly introduced the battle situation.

"Does the prince have any new telegrams recently?" the prince asked.

"Your Highness just sent a telegram, which said that the Austro-Hungarian Fourth Army was trapped 60 kilometers northeast of Przemischle Fortress. The two Russian army forces had surrounded it with 15 divisions. The prince wanted us to send more reinforcements to rescue the army." General Kur said.

"The commander of the Fourth Army is Offenberg, right? If I remember correctly, his army should be dominated by Germans." The prince fell into deep thought. According to the data provided by the Austro-Hungarian Empire, the Austro-Hungarian Fourth Army had a total of 4 armies (9 infantry divisions) and 2 cavalry divisions, as well as 580 artillery pieces. Half of the people in this division were Germans, and there were 30% of the Czechs. From the perspective of closeness and distantness, it belonged to the prince. The Germans were the core race of the future new empire, and the Czechs were an indispensable part. From the perspective of politics and public opinion, they should agree to the prince's plan.

But the problem is that there are 15 Russian divisions that bit this army! Although these divisions cannot be as full as before the war begins, it is not a big problem to gather at least 200,000 troops and 700 artillery pieces. Now how many people there are in the Austro-Hungarian Fourth Army is a problem. The prince's troops themselves only have 7 divisions. If these troops need to assist in defending the Prèmisher Fortress and also need to rescue them, it may be a bit difficult.

Moreover, it is 60 kilometers away from the fortress, and it takes 2 days to go just by walking. You should know that a large number of vehicles of the Bavarian Leopold were temporarily drawn to the Western Front by the prince. Prince Leopold's troops lack mobility. The prince is supported to help pick up people, but it is not possible to catch them. It will be troublesome to get yourself in. And the most important thing is that the current battlefield situation can be described as chaos. The Austro-Hungarian Legion retreated in an all-out manner. If the prince wants to act, it is impossible to find a helper.

The Bavarian Legion is indeed powerful, but if you withdraw armored troops, self-propelled artillery, air force and a large number of transport vehicles from the troops, this legion will be average, not to mention that the prince's troops themselves have some Czech divisions to make up for it. It may be difficult to rescue the Austro-Hungarian Fourth Army from the Russian army of 15 divisions!

"Call out the situation of the Russian army and let me see." You must not act voluntarily in war. Based on this principle, the prince must know himself and his enemy before making a decision. And when Chief of Staff of Kur brought the relevant information, the prince finally had a general understanding of the situation of the Russians.

The Russian Fourth Army and the Ninth Army, which were responsible for besieging the Offenberg Army, were just beaten once by Prince Leopold in the previous week. Although the loss was not too great, the Legion Commander Zalitz still moved the attack axis eastward, so he was able to besiege the Offenberg Army with the Ninth Army.

The Russian Fourth Army was almost at the westernmost part of the entire Galician battle group. In other words, no one provided them with cover and flank protection except themselves. In addition, when the war first started, the Russian Fourth Army was almost the annihilated two armies. The commander Zalitz must have been in a lingering fear of the brutality of the Bavarian Legion, so when the Bavarian Legion came, he chose to avoid its edge and approach the Ninth Army, which could be explained.

The entire Russian Fourth Army has a total of 3 armies, 8 infantry divisions and 2 cavalry divisions. If His Royal Highness’s previous information is correct, although the Bavarian Westward Advance Army was only a defeat war, it could at least make one infantry division and half of the cavalry division lose its combat effectiveness. The cavalry division’s offensive ability is limited, so in other words, the maximum force that the Fourth Army can use is less than 6 infantry divisions. Well, that’s probably the case.

Then the Ninth Army is left.
