At the same time, not only the troops on the front line were helpless about this, but even the command in the rear was also helpless. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Although they had prepared all the countermeasures before the winter, after the winter, as the war progressed, they still realized that the preparations before the winter were still not fully effective. Perhaps, the only useful preparation is to provide the troops with a large number of cotton clothes and quilts, so that the troops will not freeze to death.

However, it has become a huge problem in terms of the transportation of materials, most of the materials can only be transported by train, and the troops cannot only attack along the railway line, so after leaving the railway, other places will need trucks. Naturally, these trucks responsible for transportation will not be short of fuel, but there are a lot of problems with the trucks of those combat units on the front line.

First of all, the truck had to reduce the speed caused by environmental factors, which also directly dragged down the advance speed of the troops, but even so, it was not possible to ensure enough safety, although the measures to increase the distance between the vehicles were taken in the later stage, but the ground was too slippery, and the flat ground was good to say, the most afraid of encountering some slopes, at this time, the truck basically could not go up, if there were tanks, then it was not a problem, but when there were no tanks, they could only go to their own headaches.

I have also tried many methods, but none of them worked, and there were even casualties because of this, so the transportation of materials in winter has always become the most headache for the entire army in these months.

And the command also reported this situation to the rear, and put forward some suggestions for solutions, but those things are not something that their front-line troops can solve, and, what's more, the snow in some places has reached a thickness of half a meter, and the truck can't drive normally at all, even if the tank has huge power, but no one knows what is under the snow? If something goes wrong, the consequences are unimaginable.

The First Army had been stationed in the northeast, which was closely connected to Russia, and the winter conditions were more or less the same, and they thought they knew the weather in the north thoroughly, but only now did they realize that they did not know enough.

In the Northeast, roads are not a problem, even if the snow is heavy, some of the main roads will basically be cleaned a little, most of these are organized by the people themselves in various places, maybe not so clean, but at least you can know where to go, where not to go.

But in Russia, where it is already vast and sparsely populated, and in winter the Russians have a smaller range of activities, almost only in their own small towns, or simply stay at home and do not go out, in this case, for the unfamiliar Royal Army, it becomes a fatal problem.

"Commander, I think we should immediately change our strategic deployment, change the active offensive to the active defense, take advantage of this winter to let the troops take the opportunity to rest and recuperate, and wait until the beginning of the spring of next year, before continuing to launch the offensive, the current situation is too passive for us, every kilometer the troops advance, our danger factor will increase by one point, according to the current situation, I have made an accurate calculation, once our troops advance to Omsk, then we will completely cut off all supplies. It will not do us any good to start a war rashly. After receiving the report from the front, Cai Ye immediately used the existing data to speculate, and the results surprised him, and he hurriedly found Cao Kun and put forward his own suggestions.

The winter in Russia is not suitable for war, and Napoleon has set a good example for them, although the comprehensive strength of the Chinese Empire is stronger than that of France in the past, but they are also facing a longer front, so the problems faced by the Chinese Empire are not much easier than those of France in the past.

Stop the offensive and turn to defense, which will indeed solve the current problem, and the baggage troops can also take advantage of this time to send supplies to the front-line troops little by little, anyway, they don't have to fight for the time being, as long as the materials are sent over, they can become their reserve materials, and after the spring of the next year, these materials will ensure that their attack power can be released instantly.

But this can only be regarded as a passive solution, regarding the transportation of materials in winter, this problem always has to be solved, even if a solution is found this year, then what about next year? Will we stop next winter to give the Russians a chance to breathe?

Cao Kun's greatest fear was that once the troops stopped, giving the Russians a chance to breathe, they would face even greater resistance to the offensive after the beginning of the following spring.

Now they are suffering from problems, but the problems faced by the Russians are even more severe than they are. The sudden loss of Novosibirsk means that the Russian army has not only lost a city, but also a large amount of supplies that have been hoarded in Novosibirsk.

The current Russians can be said to be short of guns and ammunition, even cotton clothes and quilts, and the roadside is full of Russians who have froze to death, they have been stripped naked by their companions, and they are just left there, and they can't even bury them.

Taking advantage of his illness and asking for his life, this is a strategic requirement put forward by Cao Kun a month ago, they want to take advantage of this winter, take advantage of the fact that the Russians have lost a large number of supplies, continue to attack the Russians fiercely, as much as possible in this winter, so that the Russians will completely lose the will to resist, and then completely end the war before the arrival of the next winter.

Is this providential? Cao Kun raised his head slightly, and in the sky outside, there were snowflakes again, which was very annoying, and as long as it snowed here, it couldn't stop for a while.

Cao Kun didn't want to watch the strategic plan he made fail to declare, if it was because of the enemy, it would be forgotten, then Cao Kun had nothing to say, but Nima's was because of the weather, which was very unacceptable.

"Commander, the supplies can't keep up, and then the loss can only be us, and we have a large number of mechanized troops, in this case, our disadvantage is much greater than that of the Russians, and besides, the soldiers have been fighting for almost nine months, and there will be problems if they don't take a break." Cai Ye followed closely and continued to persuade.

"You guys go out first, let me think about it." Cao Kun only felt a headache, and couldn't help waving his hand, signaling all the people in the house to go out.

Why didn't Cao Kun realize the current predicament? Why hadn't he thought about stopping and waiting? But in this position, Cao Kun's every decision will represent a completely different outcome, and he must not only take into account the situation of the troops, but also have to figure out the above thoughts.

As the war progressed, Cao Kun's role in this war became more and more obvious, if at the beginning, the First Army was divided into two, and Cao Kun was in charge of the Western Front troops, it was only forced by a shortage of manpower, then now, the situation has long been quite clear.

Almost all of the main forces of the First Army and the Second Army were on the Western Front, and the commanders of the two armies were behind Cao Kun, but Cao Kun, the headquarters of the Western Front, was able to command all the troops on the entire Western Front, and even sometimes, the headquarters of the two armies had to cooperate with his command.

What does this mean? Now everyone can see that the two heavyweight veterans who accompanied the emperor to fight the world are now subservient to Cao Kun, although Cao Kun is still the deputy commander-in-chief of the First Army in name, but in fact, the power in his hands has long exceeded the rights that this position should have.

The emperor deliberately wanted to cultivate Cao Kun and train him to be a commander who could take charge of one side alone, and over the years, Cao Kun's promotion speed was like sitting on a cannonball, so fast that people didn't have time to react.

And this also revealed Cao Kun's lack of experience, but fortunately, there are two commanders of the two major armies behind him to make up for him, even if there are some small problems, he can respond in time later, so as not to make any big mistakes.

At this time, if Cao Kun's performance suddenly disappoints the above, then the consequences will be catastrophic, and it is by no means as simple as what is seen in front of him.

Just like Cai Yi's proposal just now, as far as the current problem is concerned, this proposal is the most suitable choice, but Cao Kun doesn't know what the above thinks, in case the above thinks that he should continue to attack, but he opposes it, what will the above think of him?

People are selfish, even if they are in a high position, they will not abandon this, this is the nature of human beings, once they will succeed, they will dry up all their bones, isn't this the truth?

But continuing the offensive, although it will achieve great results, but the dangers also coexist, and the losses of the armored forces are where they are, and the losses may be even more serious in the future.

Can the offensive be stopped, and what will be done when the Russian army is ready next year? Will the losses be even greater then?

These two questions have been circulating in Cao Kun's mind, and they are at a stalemate. At the same time, Wang Sirui, who was far away in Zhongjing, couldn't help but look up at the northwest, which was exactly where Russia was located and where the battlefield was located.

Regarding all the problems faced by the front line, Wang Sirui knew that because there were telegrams coming back from the front almost every day, he knew very well what was happening in front of him, but Wang Sirui never stopped it, but was waiting, waiting for a suitable time.

"Your Majesty, do you want to send a telegram to the front? Actually, it doesn't matter if you stop now, and we already have a plan on our side, and by next year, this situation will basically not happen. Wang Shizhen asked a little anxiously, although he had already known Wang Sirui's decision, but without Wang Sirui's permission, he didn't dare to send such a telegram to the front line privately.

"Wait, before the end of the month, if there is no telegram from the front, let Commander Wang take over the war in Russia in an all-round way." Wang Sirui shook his head and immediately gave a deadline. (To be continued.) )
