Chapter 1603: Military Emergency

The German army was quietly mobilized, after all, it was necessary to form a military suddenness in order to be able to play a role, this was a sudden intention, not a long plan, more because of the turmoil on the Russian side, which has affected the stability of the border.

Russia transferred 10,000 or 20,000 people, which had little impact on the border, but under the premise of a large number of personnel, Germany could still see the movement, after the first tens of thousands of people, the second batch of 100,000 people, and finally the total number reached more than 400,000, which inevitably made Russia's border defense weaker.

Of course, the two sides are at war, and they are very close to Russia, so they know that there is turmoil inside, but they don't know why it's going on, and it's not even clear whether there will be ambushes and traps.

Russia is a big country, a big country that even Germany can't kill at one time, otherwise, Napoleon would not have been hated in Russia back then, Germany from the very beginning, did not think about it, hit Moscow and Petrograd, let Russia destroy the country, this is almost impossible, just a winter, it is enough to become a barrier, it is good to get a little cheap, although the staff has mobilized the army and maintained the means of attack, it has not yet attacked directly, but is waiting, waiting for the exact intelligence from Russia, Only when this is clearly figured out can we choose how to fight.

As the object of Germany's attention, Germany's layout in Russia can be traced back to at least 30 years ago, when Bismarck was in power, some senior intelligence officers, even lurking in Russia for more than 15 years, and even achieved a considerable position, but Russia is too vast, the two sides are in a hostile state, and there is a lack of portable radio stations, and the news cannot be sent back immediately.

From China, Germany got a batch of portable radios, but in the war, everything was closer to the war, even so, the rapid growth of the army, but also made the portable radio station eventually popularized to the regiment and, completely unable to achieve the same popularity as China to the company level, as for the secret front, it should have been the best place for the radio station, but it was not obtained, but in Britain and the United States each arranged 5 stations, Russia compared with Britain and the United States, the difference in strength is relatively large, plus not much importance, there is no, On the contrary, it is a waste of time here.

Germany is not in a hurry, the European war to 1916, it is already the fourth year, some things, one day earlier and one day later does not make much difference, there is no important affairs on the Western Front at present, even if they mobilize 500,000 elite troops, it will not have much impact on the Western Front, some things are still good to figure out, in case it is a trap, it is not good to lose it to the hands of Russia, and there will always be news in a few days.

In fact, this kind of waiting is right, at this time Germany's intelligence officers in Russia, are trying to pass on the information, as the weakest enemy next to it, Germany has always attached great importance to Russia, all Russian movements, will be the first time to notify Germany, but in the time of war, there are some rules, unless it is related to the military, 100,000 urgent, will be the first time to send back through special channels, the rest, are fixed monthly, even annual intelligence.

In the eyes of intelligence officers, Russia is a country like Russia, the control is very poor, there are several small turmoil, Russia is very weak, Russia is weakened greatly, but to kill these small turmoil, there is no problem, this information is only as a necessary affair, registered, ready to be sent back in the monthly report, or annual report.

But the next situation was much more than the intelligence officers expected, it seemed that it was easy to be extinguished unrest, but it became more and more intense, the turmoil itself was only some urban peasants, the bottom, and then developed to the workers and the unemployed, these people's destructive power is limited, at most it makes the city turbulent, although the police in the city are exhausted, but they have not shaken the operation of the city, occasionally some people in small cities have broken through the police station, but the overall harm is not great, and it has not affected the situation in the whole of Russia at all, However, because there were too many, the tsar was never a patient person, and he was troubled by the uprisings one after another, and decided to go in.

It can't be said that the tsar's move to attack is wrong, if there is turmoil, it is necessary to enter and suppress, and eliminate the turmoil in the bud as soon as possible, this is the best choice, Russia has been weakened to this extent, and there can be no more chaos, but this approach, at the current point in time, is in chaos, the tsar still thought that his country was stable at the beginning of the first moment of the First World War, he did not expect at all that the Russian army at this time was also on the verge of collapse.

When the soldiers entered the suppression, there was chaos, the first batch of soldiers were sent to his hometown area, facing the hometown fathers who could not afford to eat, thinking about their own experience, these soldiers have any other choice, high-ranking officers, nobles, they are customary, in wartime, almost do not go into battle, hide behind and enjoy the success, they have reduced the degree of bullet pressure to the soldiers, to the minimum, without these as a threat, after a little hesitation, these soldiers will be reversed.

If it's just workers and peasants, how much destructive power do they have, but when soldiers join the war, even if it's only a part, it will be chained, no matter how much it belittles the combat effectiveness of the Russian army, professional soldiers and civilians are two concepts, even if the Russian army is bad, against Germany, the living soldiers are not weak at all, the most important thing is that these soldiers have weapons, they are here to suppress bandits, from ordinary guns to all kinds of auxiliary equipment, everything, even bullets and shells, have got several bases, Enough for them to fight a medium-sized war.

The army, which was supposed to deal with the uprising, defected to these people, and as soldiers of the violent organs, turned their guns and aimed at the government army, and suddenly the tide of uprisings in more than a dozen cities changed significantly, not only taking control of the cities, but also gradually expanding to the periphery of the cities.

It was to suppress the rebel army, but it became an ally of the rebel army, the soldiers turned to the government army, and the momentum of the uprising was different, the tsar was almost like squeezing toothpaste, more than 30,000 troops from the front line, more than 7 percent mutinied, and the rest were also wrapped, a small number of officers with greater public anger were killed, and the rest were all seized, and the entire Russian military began to be turbulent, and a series of cities had revolutions, and the tsarist government had lost control of these cities.

The only one who can deal with the army is the army, and there is no way, the evil consequences have been produced, the tsar can only continue to draw, but from time to time there are mutinies, and finally, in dozens of cities, the number of government troops and anti-government forces has basically reached a balance of power, and they began to oppose each other, and the situation has developed towards a worse situation, which has also affected the garrison on the border, so that Germany has found a problem and began to mobilize the army.

Germany's actions are quite secretive, the Russian side doesn't know at all, even if it knows, there is no way, there are 400,000 troops mobilized in total, and 300,000 are preparing to be transferred, there is already a huge gap in the front line, after several losses, Russia is no longer capable of conscription of millions and millions of troops as it was in the early days of the war, not to mention whether there are enough people, even if it is weapons, it is not enough, the support of the United States has been decreasing because of the large losses in Europe and the Americas, especially the strength shown by Russia, It's impossible for Americans to just take their money and waste it.

The intelligence personnel who can be sent to Russia by Germany, their level is uneven, but at what a bad level, they are also intelligence officers, such an increasingly fierce revolutionary situation, if they do not take advantage of it, then they will be sorry for the training of the intelligence department, the revolution all over the main elite areas of Russia, at least more than 400,000 troops are involved, and the development is even greater, this is a rare opportunity for Germany.

In this case, what is the monthly annual report, directly take the military line, with an urgent military situation report to Germany, they almost used the fastest channel, this information was sent to Germany, because of the war, plus it is impossible to completely expose, they did all this, it took 5 days, fortunately, the German military has enough patience, and did not miss the big thing because of the delay of time.

The German General Staff, Moltke Jr. was also waiting for this information, and even instructed the secretary to inform him as soon as he got the detailed information about Russia, in fact, when the intelligence came, it was exactly morning, he was in the General Staff, and he also read it for the first time, after reading it, he pondered for a long time, before the General Staff made a plan, even if it was urgent, to mobilize 500,000 troops from the Western Front, plus 500,000 troops from the reserve army and troops from the Eastern Front, to launch at least a wave of 1.5 million troops to attack, It is not only necessary to advance the front 300 kilometers, but also to occupy 500,000 to 700,000 square kilometers of land in Russia and take some relatively large cities.

But it is a strong attack, even if Russia is weak, it is not Germany's opponent at all, but there will still be inevitable consumption, part of the casualties, the most critical is the consumption of a large number of ammunition, the reason why Germany was able to press the Entente to fight, its own combat effectiveness is only secondary, the key is the advantage of firepower, this is the real fight, 1.5 million German troops attack the Russian army, the loss may be very small, will not exceed 50,000, but the ammunition consumption is very huge, according to firepower, the same number of German troops, The intensity of firepower is more than 3 times that of the British, French and American forces, and more than 10 times that of the Russian army.

If it is said that there is a plan for a long time, this is no problem, the time of the war is to fight, but in Germany there is no such plan, but under the premise of sudden turmoil in Russia, fishing in troubled waters, it is debatable, especially, in a blink of an eye, little Moltke has other ideas in his heart.
