After coming to the Hungarian army controlled area, Lieutenant General Seckett, whose enthusiasm and confidence were constantly being eroded, finally met the nominal commander of this army, Grand Duke Karl, at the headquarters of the Hungarian Legion.

"Welcome, General von Seckett, I see the kindness from Berlin from you and your subordinates. We have come together for the common goal, for the great victory of the Allies, for the great revival of the German Empire and the Austro-Hungarian Empire." Grand Duke Carl met Seckett in his study. His opening remarks were pretty, but soon, in one sentence, the lieutenant general frowned slightly.

"We want to let the prince of Bavaria see who can truly represent the will of the German Empire and the Austro-Hungarian Empire. His tricks are nothing but Ale, we can definitely beat the Russians to the point of falling." When saying this, Grand Duke Carl's tone was full of resentment. Originally, Grand Duke Carl was affiliated with the Austrian army, and even had a lot of real power at the beginning. However, after several battles, not only Ruprecht disliked this Grand Duke who was highly keen and low-key, but even the Austrian legion expressed dissatisfaction with Carl's blind command. In the end, Chief of Staff Conrad personally "suggested" Emperor Austria to change his place...

It happened that at this time, both the Hungarians and Grand Duke Karl were dissatisfied with Ruprecht and Princess Mary. In this case, the two sides came together. So Grand Duke Karl had nominal command. There was a reason for Carl to say this. He knew that some people in Prussia had equal opinions about Ruprecht, thinking that the people sent this time should be someone who was dissatisfied with Bavaria. So he said the above words.

However, what is unexpected is that Sector is the kind of person who concentrates on his own things and does not care about politics (actually, I can't care. What's the use of a major general who made a statement before coming?) He looks more at the performance on the battlefield than listening to political performance all day long. In Sector's view, the Bavarian Legion is the pillar of the entire Eastern Front and the Balkan War Zone, and must not be slandered by personal likes and dislikes. Moreover, based on his experiences along the way, the lieutenant general felt that it was not Bavaria and Austria who made small moves, but Hungary. Looking at the combat readiness along the way, it can be described as bad. Therefore, the senses that were not good enough have dropped to a higher level...

"General Seckett, I want to know now how long it takes for you and your troops to participate in the battle. Overall, the current battlefield situation is in a stalemate. We need an offensive to break the deadlock." Grand Duke Carl asked.

"Observation?! I am frankly speaking, I think that at present, the entire Ukrainian southern line is not suitable for launching an offensive battle. Our logistics supply system has not been straightened out yet, and the army's morale is as dispersed as a piece of sand. At present, the only reliable Hungarian army in the entire southern line you are responsible for is less than 200,000 Hungarian army. Even such troops have great problems in terms of equipment, material reserves and combat effectiveness. At this time, we should stabilize first and accumulate strength slowly. After the Bavarian Legion on the Northern Line launches an attack and restrains the main force of the Russian army, we will launch an attack."

After a period of understanding, Sector no longer has much hope for active attack. There are only 300,000 Hungarian legions on the southern front of the 600-kilometer-long front, of which only 180,000 Hungarian nations can be used. Moreover, the so-called useful standard is still set in this way: as long as more than 60% of this army are Hungarians, it is considered to be available. In terms of actual combat effectiveness, Sector believes that although there are no tanks and only some armored vehicles in his army, his 70,000 people defeated 180,000 poor equipment and had no supply to the Hungarians who did not even have half a battle!

And if you want to attack or defend, you can't build a reliable and coherent front, so how can you continue to attack? Madan, now I haven't even made up the horses transporting supplies, so those artillery and ammunition cannot be transported long-distance with manpower, right?

"The Russian army opposite us evacuated from Poland all the way here. They were defeated. With just one fierce attack, they could be defeated in full! Then, we can occupy all areas west of the Dnieper River. The huge arc line in the downstream area will be our territory to the west! Before you come, the Hungarian army can be equally divided with the Russian army. After you come, the entire three divisions, why can't the 70,000 German warriors launch an active attack? I can assure you that not only your flanks, but also the entire front line are stable and indestructible!" Grand Duke Karl said.

"But at least, my troops need to rest and replenish lack of equipment and supplies. This is an unstoppable process. We lack ammunition, weapons, and horses. The offensive battle cannot be sustained. I need at least 2 weeks to prepare. If you don't even give me this little time, then I can only say that I have limited abilities and cannot achieve your strategic goals."

In just a few words, Lieutenant General Seckett completely lost his idea of ​​discussing military affairs with Grand Duke Carl. This guy was full of offense and political reputation, and he didn't consider the actual situation on the battlefield at all. Seckett felt that he seemed to have entered a pit, but he also wondered, he had not offended Kruger or a big boss, why was he sent to this pit?!

So, after some bargaining, Grand Duke Karl reluctantly agreed to let Sitk's troops rest for 2 weeks, and then turn to the attack. At this time, there were about 20 days left before the Russian army launched the Borusinov offensive!

When the two sides were about to start a new round of competition in southern Ukraine, on the northern line of Ukraine, Prince Leopold's offensive aimed at breaking through the Dnieper River defense line was also coming to an end. Yes, just as the Russians were preparing to engage in the Hungarians, the Germans were also looking for opportunities to engage in the Russians. Just imagine, everyone has been preparing for a while, why has the Russians accumulated enough strength to launch an attack on Hungary, and the Germans have better logistics supply capabilities and more equipment and troops, so why can't they launch an attack?

Moreover, Prince Leopold was not only preparing for an attack, but also discovered that some of the main forces in the Russian army's northern line had a tendency to move south. At the first time, he thought that the Russian army was preparing to cause trouble on the southern line. After informing Hungary through normal channels, the prince sent a telegram to Ruprecht to inquire about countermeasures. After all, Ruprecht is still the commander-in-chief of the Eastern Front of the Allies and his immediate superior.
