"I know this, but hope still exists. His Majesty's request is very simple. You and your troops must keep their opponents in the area west of the Dnieper River before the autumn harvest! Without the food in this area, we can't even get through this winter!" Nikolayev said.

The Grand Duke did not tell Borusinov what to do, but in fact, Borusinov realized that he had no choice, because on the northern Ukraine line, the Bavarian Legion had already fought by the river. Now he had been resting for 2 weeks. It is estimated that he could launch another offensive after a maximum of three weeks of rest, and Borusinov would definitely not be able to stop it. Therefore, the only way now is to surround Wei and save Zhao. Find soft persimmons on the southern line, and then force the Bavarian Legion to go south to rescue, thereby delaying the German offensive.

After recalling the situation when he met Nikolayev, Borusinov already knew what he should do. He had to launch an active offensive, and the attack direction could only be chosen as the southernmost Hungarian Legion. There was no other reason, because the current Russian army could only gain an overwhelming advantage when facing the Hungarians!

"They are too greedy." Looking at the deployment of the Hungarian Legion on the sand table, Borusinov finally showed a long-lost smile on his face. In fact, as the one-yuan empire of the binary empire, although Hungary is not as strong as Austria and does not have a large amount of aid from Bavaria, it is still possible to gather millions of troops in the case of national wars. Although the front line has been deeply embedded in Russia, if the Hungarian troops can be concentrated on the front line, it will be difficult to hit the opponent with the current level of the Russian army.

But unfortunately, at this time, the Hungarians' own mistakes helped Borusinov a great favor! Now, a considerable number of Hungarian troops are deployed in the Romanian occupied areas and Bisarabia (later Moldova). The Hungarians were too anxious to include these places into the territory of the Hungarian Kingdom, so they left a large number of troops here regardless of the orders from the Austrian Emperor to strengthen their local rule. Of course, most of the Hungarian national troops who could perform this task were the troops of the Hungarian nationals. In this way, not only weakened the strength of the front-line Hungarian legion, but also made the Hungarian legion lack cohesion.

You should know that whether it is the Germans in Austria or the Hungarians, they account for no more than one-quarter of the total population of the entire Austrian-Hungarian Empire... In other words, if the military population ratio is proportional, then the real Hungarian army cannot even reach half of the Hungarian army. The Hungarian army is mixed with a large number of ethnic minorities, such as the Mazars, Croats, Serbs and Romanians... What is different from Austria is that with the efforts of the prince, the Austrian Germans and Czechs (Bohemias) are united under one royal power. The confluence of the two major ethnic groups makes the Austrian army relatively united. But Hungary is definitely impossible.

Especially now, a considerable number of Hungarian national troops have been deployed to the rear to consolidate the occupied areas (you can't expect the Romanians in Hungary to suppress Romania, right?) Then the front line has become a large number of ethnic minority troops and a small number of Hungarian troops. Not to mention low combat effectiveness, let alone cohesion. Therefore, it is easy to cause a little defeat and a total collapse! (In fact, this problem also exists in the Russian army and later Soviet troops. For example, during Operation Mars, there is a point in the combat regulations issued by the Soviet army, which dismantles non-Russian national personnel.)

What makes Borusinov even more ridiculous is that the commander of this legion is actually Grand Duke Karl, a young boy who is only 22 years old. It would be great if a guy of this age could become a company commander in the Russian army!"

"Haha, ridiculous nobles." Borusinov had to sigh that there were all kinds of birds in the forest. They were all royal families. They could have a terrible existence like Ruprecht, and they might have a parallel product like Grand Duke Karl. However, as the commander-in-chief of the Hungarian Legion, Borusinov was still very happy.

But in fact, Grand Duke Karl was not as unbearable as Borusinov thought. He knew that his military level was limited, so he rarely interfered in the operations of the Hungarian Legion. He was more of a symbol, a representative of the Central Government of the Austro-Hungarian Empire in the Hungarian Legion. At the same time, he was here to make merits and gain qualifications, and at the same time contact a group of his followers. Don’t doubt that this guy can think of going to Hungary as a king in history, which is also a talent!

If the attitude of major forces in the allied countries towards war, the Bavarian legion was trying hard to prepare for war, Prussia was preparing for war seriously, and Austria was trying its best to prepare for war, but had the will but lacked strength, then Hungary was preparing to paddle and share the benefits of war. Just like in this plane, within Germany, Prussia and Bavaria shared the fruits of victory. As one yuan in the binary empire, Hungary also thought of this, but unlike Bavaria, the former planned to contribute less and take advantage...

If this idea is implemented in war, then it is like now, a greedy man spreads on a huge cake. He tries his best to eat more without considering whether his appetite is affected. What's even more deadly is that he forgets that there is an enemy staring beside the cake! In this case, who do you hit if you don't hit?!

After choosing the target, Borusinov began to seize the time to prepare for this battle. It was a big gamble, a war that determines the fate of the country. So, this time, Borusinov did not retain it, and he decided to play all the cards in his hand!

"Appointment, the Seventh Army draws 5 divisions of troops to move towards the center line, and then the Eighth Army located in the middle draws 7 divisions of troops to strengthen the Ninth Army on the southern line! At the same time, two divisions are drawn from the Eighth Army as the general reserve team!" Borusinov's first order was to move the entire force to the southern line. As for the defense of the Bavarian Legion in the north? Well, in fact, Borusinov bet that the Bavarian Legion would not take the initiative to launch an attack at this time, and was also betting that if he succeeded, the Bavarian Legion would choose to go south to support rather than take the opportunity to break through the Dnieper River.
