The special armored vehicle, which had several antennas erected on the carriage and was the size of a normal truck but covered with thick steel plates, slowly turned down the road, and it stopped in a small open space, and several other tanks and armored vehicles also stopped around it, and soon formed a ring of protection. Soldiers in gray uniforms jumped out of the car, set up temporary tents next to the armored vehicle, and many instruments were removed from the armored vehicle, and the area soon became a temporary headquarters. Soldiers on tanks and armored vehicles looked around vigilantly with various weapons, and many soldiers with rifles on their backs also set up cordons nearby.

On the road, soldiers in dark blue or gray uniforms marching east turned their curious eyes to this side, and when they saw an officer wearing a traditional Prussian round military cap, wearing a gold-edged blue-gray background, and a red embroidered gold collar badge, stepping out of the armored car, the soldiers in gray uniforms suddenly boiled.

"That's the Prince, I saw His Royal Highness with my own eyes!" The soldiers immediately felt extremely honored.

The young officer walked unhurriedly to the open tent, sat down on a wide chair, took off his military cap with the gold logo, gently brushed the soft blonde hair with his hands, and then waved to the marching soldiers with a pleasant expression.

The staff officers quickly packed the tent into a makeshift conference room, and a few minutes later, several armored vehicles slowly drove over, and there were more soldiers guarding the tent. Olg's thin face quickly appeared in front of Chentian, and the two of them chatted for a while, and a group of horsemen on black horses appeared in their sight with a puff of dust and smoke.

The cavalry at the front made way of a passage, and the white-bearded Grand Duke Friedrich came to the tent with several generals on red horses, and the Grand Duke jumped off his horse with great agility, followed by his chief of the General Staff, Konrad•von•Field Marshal Herzendorf, a little old man who looked a little weak, and then several other major Austrian generals, General Dankel, with a square face and a burly body, and General Offenberg, who had a wicker face and a very shrewd look in his eyes, There was also General Vojlsch, the commander of the German reserve army, who had been fighting alongside this Austrian army.

Chen Tian greeted him with a smile on his face, "Grand Duke, good news!" Russian troops retreated from Warsaw! ”

"Oh! Is it? I expected those timid Russians to run away! That's great! I will now order the troops to advance at full speed and occupy Warsaw! Friedrich was about to turn around, but Chentian stopped him.

"Grand Duke, don't worry! Warsaw will not fly away! Our Mackensen Corps is gradually taking control of the city of Warsaw, and when we arrive there, we only need to hold a grand entrance ceremony! I have something more important to talk to you about here! Chen Tian invited the Grand Duke and several of his generals to sit at the table, "I'm sorry, it's a bit shabby here, I hope you won't mind!" ”

Friedrich was in good spirits on happy occasions, and he naturally did not mind, "Is it to discuss plans for a march to Moscow?" Don't worry about this, I've already asked my staff to plan it! ”

Chen Tian felt very unhappy in his heart, but he still maintained a lovely smile on his face, "After occupying Warsaw, our army plans to return home!" In addition to leaving some troops to garrison East Prussia, the main forces went to the French front! ”

"Yes...... Is it? I've never heard of this plan, isn't your regiment going to fight with our army? The Grand Duke asked with some confusion.

The Emperor's order is to assist you in defeating the Russian army in Poland, and now that we have completed it, we will naturally participate in such a good thing as carving up Russian Poland, as for venturing into Russia, I'm sorry I really have no interest!

Chen Tian thought so in his heart, but in the face of the elder Grand Duke, he couldn't say such things that hurt the friendship between the two countries, "Grand Duke, the biggest enemy of our country is France, which is also the main reason why we joined the war; I think this is the same as your country's attitude towards Serbia! Russia is not our biggest target, as long as we eliminate their threat to us, there is really no need to push them too quickly! ”

Friedrich looked disappointed, the Russian army almost defeated him, and he became extremely hated for Russia, and he almost wanted to put Russia to death as soon as possible, and besides, the vast territory of Tsarist Russia was coveted.

"That's a shame! Originally, I had hoped that with the Russians losing a large number of troops here, and they had sent a large number of men and horses to fight the Turks, our Austro-German army would be able to drive straight in! After saying this, the Grand Duke turned his head to look at his generals, most of whom were of the same opinion as him.

"Your Royal Highness, you are not afraid of the Russians, are you! So far, our two countries have eliminated almost two million Russian troops, and although the Russians have almost unlimited human resources, the equipment and veterans they have lost here cannot be replaced! We have a million-strong army here that has been through a hundred battles, so why can't we come to Moscow? Field Marshal Hetzendorf looked disdainful, and his speech was quickly agreed by the Grand Duke, including all the Austrian generals.

"Honorable marshal, I don't want that! I have never doubted the ability of your army to take Moscow directly, but we should now concentrate on the main enemy! "Chen Tian felt a little lonely at this time, poor Olge was only with the rank of colonel, and there was no chance to intervene here, and the Austrians were a bunch of marshal generals with a loud tone.

"Everyone, I'm so sorry! I think the words of our Royal Highness the Prince are very reasonable! Moreover, His Majesty the Emperor ordered my troops to assist your army in repelling the Russian army, and then we did not receive instructions to cooperate with your army to enter the Russian territory! General Voirsch said and nodded slightly.

Sure enough, it's a German general, and his elbow won't turn out! Tatsuten also smiled and nodded at Voylsch.

The momentum of the Austrians was somewhat restrained, after all, the German reserve army had helped them a lot in the previous battle of Galicia, and the German combat effectiveness was greatly appreciated by the Austrian army, and the Austrian emperor also hoped that Germany could send a group of instructors to reorganize the army for him.

After a long while, Marshal Hezendorf spoke: "But the Russian Army Group Southwestern has not been completely annihilated by us, and it is difficult to say when they will return, and I still think it is necessary to completely eliminate this threat!" ”

"According to our reconnaissance reports, they are retreating towards the Belarusian region, and what does the marshal mean is that we continue to pursue the Russian army in the direction of Minsk?" Chen Tian asked unhurriedly, in his opinion, the Russian army is certainly a potential threat, but they may not be happy to engage the German and Austrian forces head-on, that is to say, they may go around in circles between Belarus and Ukraine, and wait until the German-Austrian forces are tired and lax before launching a fatal blow, and the pursuit is also not guaranteed to eliminate the threat force.

"In short, I am not in favor of stopping the offensive here! Only offense is the best defense! Marshal Hetzendorf did not answer positively, but gave a vague answer.

Speaking of which, I still want Russian land! Chen Tian thought to himself, a victory seemed to greatly stimulate the appetite of these Austrians, who did not understand the geographical advantages of Russia at all.

"We can use captured Russian artillery to build a large number of fortresses on the Polish-Belarusian and Polish-Ukrainian borders, and I don't think the Russians will easily hit their heads on rocks!" Tatsuten offered a compromise proposal, but the Austrians did not respond.

"It seems that I must ask for instructions from home, and the two emperors will discuss it before making a decision!" Archduke Friedrich interrupted the argument with some impatience.

"Alright! I will also report to the Emperor of our country! Chentian stood up, and the meeting did not seem to be fruitful.

"Alright then, Your Highness! See you in Warsaw! The Grand Duke left in a hurry with his generals, and Chen Tian felt very helpless when he looked at their distant backs, a group of people who were easy to get carried away.

"Russia, it is safe only if it rots from within!" Chen Tian turned to Olg and Hoffman and said, "Unless I am given no less than three million troops, I will not consider attacking Russia in the spring!" ”

Both Olg and Hoffman were surprised, but they didn't ask any further.

By the afternoon, the German-Austrian army had arrived outside Warsaw, the city had settled down, but it was far from regaining its former vigor, most of the Polish inhabitants had fled the fighting, and the houses on both sides of the street were already flying German and Austro-Hungarian flags, and it did not matter to the remaining Poles who ruled the city, it was best not to be harassed by the war. In fact, the Russians did not hand over Warsaw to the Allies intact out of good intentions, and Ivanov really did not have time for sabotage, and once surrounded by German and Austrian troops, it would be difficult for him to return to Russia safely, so he and his soldiers just hurriedly packed their bags and left.

The grand entrance ceremony began early the next morning, with a large number of Austrian cavalry and a small number of German cavalry dressed in traditional Austrian clothing at the head of the procession, which also aptly showed the contrast between the two countries' forces in Poland. The crisp sound of horses' hooves resounded through the main streets, and on both sides of the street, except for the German soldiers who had entered the city to maintain order, there were only a few expressionless Poles, and the small flags in their hands were also shaking weakly, but many people poked their heads out of the windows of the houses on both sides, pointing and whispering to the new rulers.

"Grandpa, they drove those Russian villains away, so are they good people?" A little girl who looked to be five or six years old swayed the sleeves of the old man beside her, her eyes fixed on the brightly dressed cavalry in the street.

"No, son, they're here too!" The old man's face trembled slightly, and it seemed to him that those cavalry were not much different from the Russian cavalry, and the whips in their hands and the swords at their waists would soon become sharp weapons for oppressing Poland.

The little girl nodded incomprehensibly, and suddenly spat out a huge mouthful of spittle, and landed next to the foot of a German infantryman with a gun, and he looked up at the old and the young with some surprise, and then looked casually at the sturdy horses that passed in front of him.

Behind the cavalry were the infantry of the Grand Duke Friedrich, the neatly groomed soldiers were singled out, their leather boots struck the gravel path, a monotonous and majestic sound filled the ears, and the bayonets stuck in the rifles on the soldiers' backs reflected a dazzling light in the sunlight.

The little Polish girl was still saliva, and the old man looked indifferently at the Austrian soldiers with different faces, he had never seen the once majestic Polish army, and it had been a white year since the destruction of Poland, and he only had a vague impression from some pictures.

Outside the city, a long line of steel was waiting for the order to set off.

"Cheer up, boys! We're going to dislocate the Poles' jaws! "On the front tank, a captain commander leaned out of the turret with his hands propped up on the cold turret, his black tank suit and handsome face were even more fascinating, and he turned his head to look at the tanks behind him, and the commanders were basically in the same pose.

As the signalman waved the small flag in his hand, the tank spewed puffs of green smoke in a rumbling sound, the familiar smell filled the air, the steel chariot moved slowly, and the heavy tracks made a rattle of steel against the stone after driving up the gravel road, which made people's hearts grind with it.

When this strange sound came from the corner of the street, the Polish audience suddenly became silent, and even the little girl choked on the big mouthful of saliva that had just been gathered and stared at the corner, and the old man's expression changed slightly, and everyone was staring at the corner with a curious and expectant gaze.

In the next second, will it be an angel or a demon that will appear?

The sound is getting closer and louder, and people almost raise their hearts to their throats.

After the last group of Austrian soldiers left, a gray-brown object slowly appeared in people's eyes, it had two thick steel straps that kept tumbling downward, and its body was angular and full of round rivets, a short barrel protruding from its large head, and the striking white iron crosses painted on both sides of the body, marking its identity - Made in Germany!

The little girl swallowed her saliva back, the old man opened his mouth wide and was stunned, and the other Poles had different expressions, and everyone's visual nerves were deeply vibrate.

Less than two meters behind the first German tank, another almost identical tank appeared around the corner, one after the other, and the Poles watched in amazement as the tanks kept turning into the street, as if they had an infinite number. For a whole quarter of an hour, more than a hundred tanks drove up the street, but the onlookers seemed to have spent a long year.

After the tanks, the armoured combat vehicles also drove slowly, and their appearance was not as impressive as the previous tanks, after all, many Poles had seen such things as trucks, but they were still amazed by the steel plates and machine guns on the armoured vehicles, and people were glad that they did not choose to be the enemy of this army.

"I swear, I've never seen so many vehicles, even the wheels are iron cars, iron trucks, ordinary trucks with more bed bugs, motorcycles than a nest of ants, God! I couldn't believe it! A Polish merchant muttered. Indeed, there are more vehicles here than all of Russia has.

The Poles had forgotten exactly when this grand ceremony of entry had ended, and they had a deep fear of this army, which was what the Germans and Austrians wanted.

At the same time, Ivanov retreated along the Warsaw-Minsk railway with his poorly equipped and demoralized remnants of nearly 400,000 troops, and the German-Austrian army only symbolically pursued it, and after the complete withdrawal of the Russian army from Poland, the fighting on the Eastern Front calmed down temporarily.

Subsequently, Germany and Austria began to hold talks in Berlin to discuss the partition of Russian Poland and the war against Russia.
