1523 Lore 2
The prince dared to touch his chest and promised that it was not that he deliberately wanted to cheat the Hungarians, but that he was really worried that the Hungarians would cheat Sector and Conrad! Of course, they were all their own people, and neither the prince himself nor Prince Leopold had any resistance to this order.
"I will send a liaison team, and they will take my plan to your command. This time, we will create a new miracle. If the Polish Pocket Battle is just pushing the Russians into the coffin, then this time, we will cover him with a coffin lid and nail a few nails!" said Prince Ruprecht.
"Okay, we will talk about the specific situation later, but I need to remind you that if the Hungarian Legion really fails this time, then the entire Hungarian government may be in crisis. Not to mention the newly occupied Romania, they cannot suppress it, and even the domestic political situation will undergo extremely profound changes. I wonder, will you be well prepared at that time?" After a moment, Prince Leopold said a topic that has nothing to do with war.
As the current Bavarian king's younger brother, the prince's uncle, and the second commander of the Bavarian Legion, Prince Leopold naturally knew the prince's plan. In fact, when the prince had no time to take care of Austria, Prince Leopold was responsible for the relevant intelligence collection work. He naturally knew more about what the situation was in the Hungarian Kingdom now.
"Is that so? It's earlier than the Russians collapse?" The prince frowned slightly. The end of the Hungarian Kingdom seemed to come earlier than he thought. The internal crisis of the Hungarian Kingdom would be the beginning of a chain reaction, which will directly determine whether Hungary will be independent in the future or remain in the territory of the Austro-Hungarian Empire as an ordinary administrative region, and it also determines when his wife can become the crown prince. Now, just mid-year, the prince originally planned to start solving these things around October this year.
"When Hungary broke a leg, we could give him a crutch, but whether it was to take it away depends on what we mean." The prince's answer was very simple, that is, if the army on which the Kingdom of Hungary relied for survival was severely damaged, it would be equivalent to losing the last bargaining chip, and Bavaria and Austria could help it temporarily stabilize the domestic situation. Of course, when necessary, if Hungary's answer cannot satisfy the prince, just take the crutch away!
"Well, since you already have an idea, let's listen to you." Prince Leopold was very straightforward. On such a critical political issue, he just made his own opinions without talking too much.
"Ukraine, haha, I don't know if this plane has lost Ukraine, is the red giant in history still so powerful!" Looking at the city scattered on the sand table and the Dnieper River that winds into the Black Sea, the prince said with a smile.
Borusinov was preparing to cause trouble in southern Poland, and Ruprecht also wanted to cause trouble when the Russians took the initiative, because for a man who was already unable to support him, taking the initiative when he was weak seemed fierce, but his own weakness would be exposed more thoroughly. For example, now, the Russians must have invested all their reserves, and even reduced the forces on the northern line to support the offensive on the southern line. This cannot be said that Borusinov is stupid. It can only be said that Russia is too weak now and has reached the point of demolishing the east wall to repair the west wall.
If you want to say it specifically, the situation in southern Ukraine is that the Russian army has concentrated almost all the troops that can be mobilized on the west bank of the Dnieper River. There are no soldiers available even until Donetsk, which is like fighting alone, with both fists stretched out and then exposing their soft abdomen!
Therefore, Ruprecht, who is flexible and well versed in multi-pronged approach, came up with a wonderful plan, which was to launch an attack from the Black Sea and land directly in southern Ukraine, east of the Dnieper River! Eat all Borusinov's main force in Hexi in one breath!
As for the supply issue? This is not a problem at all! Because most transportation is by sea, sea transportation is always the most efficient, even railways cannot compare! All landing troops will forcibly rush into the Sea of Azore under the cover of the Allied Mediterranean Fleet. In this sea area of only more than 10,000 ordinary kilometers, the Russians have almost no power except a small number of patrol boats. As long as they can lock in the narrow Strait of Azores, no maritime force can enter! The landing troops are very safe!
What? You say the Russian Black Sea Fleet? Well, this fleet became a historical term earlier than the Russian Baltic Fleet. After the British bombing operation that deceived others and themselves, the Russian Navy had no warships with displacement of more than 8,000 tons. After the two submarines, U183 and U97, sunk a protective cruiser and a seaplane mothership during a cruise, the Russian Navy even lost cruiser-level warships. Even submarines were consumed almost the same. Therefore, Sevastopol is just a fortress, not a naval base, because the navy is gone... It can be said that except for some minefields in the Sea of Azores, there is no problem at sea this time landing!
The landing troops will land in Mariupol. After landing here, you can reach Donetsk, an important industrial base in Russia with just a raise! As for the fact that it is too far from the north to reach the north and cannot meet with His Highness Leopold's troops, what does it have to do? After the vast Ukrainian field catches fire in the rear, let the Russian army climb slowly. If they can climb back, they are capable!
As for the transportation of the troops, this is not a problem at all. The Russians can fight all the troops hundreds of kilometers away. The landing troops encounter the most resistance at the police and military police level. There is no need for too much heavy equipment. Just transport people over and add a small number of light artillery and armored vehicles. If it is difficult to fight in big cities, don’t fight first. As long as this industrial area is paralyzed, this will inevitably greatly accelerate the speed of Russia’s collapse, because, if the plan goes well, Donetsk will not be able to transport a piece of coal in one month!
This plan can be said to be an inspiration, or the result of various situations transformed. In fact, the prince had never thought of obtaining a breakthrough from this point before. He could only say that the entire Eastern Front and the Balkan War Zone are quite good now, and it is possible to fight as much as possible! You can do whatever you want.
