And now, the southern front is also very stale, the combat effectiveness of the Austro-Hungarian army seems to be a bit high, and the 4 armies are not enough to crush the opponent, so the headquarters reserve is ready to throw itself on the southern front to accelerate the collapse of the Austro-Hungarian army, as for the problem on the central front, although there are some hidden dangers in the form of the Russian army, but in Ivanov's opinion, the situation is not so bad, to the point that the entire plan needs to be changed. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Although the Fifth Army was surrounded, judging from the telegrams, they still had considerable strength, and they protruded to the east, and although they had not yet broken the encirclement, the situation was not bad. The Bavarian blow was a terrible blow, but they did not launch a second wave after that. Therefore, Ivanov believes that as long as the Sixth Army is contained at the right time, it is still possible for the Fifth Army to fight out by relying on its own strength.

"My opinion is also to withhold the reserves for the time being, the main forces of the Sixth Army and the Fifth Army are still there, throwing all the chips down at this time will directly affect our plans on the southern front, as long as the southern front is won, as long as we can control the important mountain passes in the Carpathians, we can control Austria-Hungary with a very small number of troops, and then concentrate on dealing with the Germans again." Brusinov broke the deadlock at this time. He agreed with Ivanov's idea.

The Ninth Army, as the general reserve, is being formed, and if it is less, it will not solve the problem, and when the formation is completed, I am afraid that the daylily will be cold. No matter how bad the central front is, it is still possible for the Sixth Army to retreat, the remnants of the Sixth Army and the two Russian armies to the north are located on the flanks of the Bavarian Corps, and the latter will definitely not dare to continue to advance, and even if everything is according to the script of the Germans, Bavaria, which has taken out one army and inflicted heavy losses on the other, can still advance? Brusinov was not convinced.

Foreigners also understand the truth that it is better to cut off one of their fingers than to hurt their ten fingers. Rather than a stalemate on all defensive lines, it is better to concentrate forces on one side first, and exchange space for time on the other.

Nikolayevich received the order to launch a diversionary attack, and at the same time, the Bavarian corps began to regain strength, and the loosened five fingers gradually clenched into a fist again. In addition to leaving Prince Leopold with one rapid division and two ordinary divisions, the remaining troops began to move north, aiming at the Sixth Army, while the battle in the encirclement of the southern front continued, so this became the first tough battle for the Czech Corps.

"The Russians are coming up again!" The staff officer's slightly trembling voice rang in Baron Merlin's ears. In the morning mist, Russian soldiers in gray military uniforms gradually appeared. This is already their third attack today.

"Get ready for battle! If you don't want to die, beat the Russians on the other side to death! Baron Merlin picked up the MP08 submachine gun beside him and said. He did not regret that he had embarked on this path, as a descendant of an aristocracy, at a time when the aristocracy was declining and the glory of the past was gradually buried by money and nationalism, he and many other nobles who had been equally loyal to the Habsburg royal family felt hesitant, as sabber nobles, if they had lost their privileges in the army and failed to establish their own business empire, then the title of nobility on their shoulders would eventually become a ridiculous laughing stock.

He did not want to sink like this, so he chose another army that could accept him, and when Princess Mary became the Grand Duchess of Bohemia and Moravia, Baron Merlin once again returned to Bohemia from the Bavarian Legion and assumed the position of commander.

"This is an army without soul and without faith." This is how he felt after taking over the new army, if the previous allegiance to the royal family and the privileges granted by the royal family were the bond that maintained the sword nobility and the royal family, when the aristocratic system was broken, the army naturally had a crisis of faith.

"Sir, now we are left on the position, everyone else has run away, we don't have to die for the Germans and Austrians! We are Czechs, we can fight for our people, but definitely not as cannon fodder! "A non-commissioned officer tried to leave the battlefield with his own men.

"Coward!" Baron Merlin got up and walked over, raised the butt of his submachine gun and knocked the non-commissioned officer to the ground, looking around him with either fear or malice. Baron Merlin said loudly: "You say that I am a nobleman, yes, I am a nobleman, you say that I have taken the benefits given above, yes, my treatment is indeed very high." ”

"But you say we are traitors to the Czechs! I don't agree! Even if we are traitors, then all of us are traitors! At least one member of your family works in Archduke Mary's factory, you enjoy a higher level of pay and welfare, and your family is also a traitor in the eyes of the separatists! ”

"If one day, those rebels come to power, I can guarantee that everyone will be liquidated! People are born to be profit-seeking! The same is true of those rebels! Don't take the wealth from us, don't drive your families out of the factory! Where do their benefits come from? If you still want your family to live where you are, then take up your weapons! We and those rebels are natural enemies, and even if we surrender and give up, they will still deprive us of our benefits! ”

How can an army solve this problem if it has no military spirit? The best way is even to educate and benefit binding! All officers must let their subordinates know that being a soldier is different from anyone else! They took responsibility and needed to fight, to shed blood, and even to die. But they are also very profitable, and at least one member of the family can work in a state-run unit, enjoying a salary and treatment that is more than twice that of a normal person.

And if they die, the children in the family will be raised by the government until they are 18 years old, and at least one person will be given the opportunity to work in the state-owned units, although there is still fierce competition, but it has to be said that these people are paid much higher than others. Not even the civilian staff of the government agencies.

Rupresit was changing the minds and lives of the Czechs, trying to re-establish a Czech legion with which he shared weal and woe. The aristocracy is still reliable, and their traditions and perceptions make them the easiest to woo. But the low-ranking officers and soldiers below are different, although they are given benefits, but at the same time, they also need to be constantly reminded of how these benefits came about and how they will be lost!

As the saying goes, just to go home will make an army more combative, not to mention that this time it is for the future life of their family, in the face of full security, some soldiers have the feeling ......that even if they die in battle, they will only feel like this.
