PS:I wanted to divide it into two chapters.,But most of the follow-up is an excerpt so as not to say that I can only put it in one chapter to make up the number of words.,I'm sorry for the fact that it's still a chapter today.,Tomorrow will resume two daily changes.,In addition, the Saturdays and Sundays owed yesterday and today are made up.。 It's snowing today, so it's time to play with your roommates, after all, there aren't many opportunities to play together like graduating soon, so please understand!! In addition, the graduation thesis is really difficult!!

Royal Palace of Vienna:

Opposite Massena was Emperor Franz and Archduke Karl and a number of senior Austro-Hungarian cabinet officials, Massena was not the descendant of the declining Italian aristocracy who accompanied Ernst back then, he was the prime minister of the Czech principality at this time, and even Emperor Franz needed to meet in person.

The Austro-Khalian officials were full of temptation as soon as they spoke, they tested the attitude of the Czech Grand Duke Ernst to Archduke Karl as the crown prince of Austria-Hungary, and at the same time they secretly expressed their remorse for the Austro-Hungarian Empire and said that if Ernst agreed, they would give Ernst a large degree of autonomy.

There is no temptation for such a thing? No, if Ernst was the Grand Duke of the Czech Duchy, he had no say in the internal affairs of Austria-Hungary, but if he was the Czech Duke and Governor of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, then he would have considerable power in the affairs of the future Austro-Hungarian heir.

The Austro-Hungarian Empire had a large land area and a very large population, but the Czech Republic accounted for a considerable part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire in terms of both land and population, and the actual controller of this land naturally had a considerable say within the Czech Duchy, but if they expected it, Massena refused without hesitation.

This is also normal, if they don't want to take the crown off their heads, and then they have the right to speak, no matter how autonomous it is, it will not be as happy as the actual monarch of a country.

It was originally a temptation, seeing that Massena refused without hesitation, they no longer refused to start talking about the attack of the army of the Czech principality, since it was soft, then they began to find a way to weaken the power of Austria-Hungary, so that the Czech principality was in front of the war with the Russian army, which was undoubtedly a good opportunity.

Massena was a good manager of Moravia, and his intelligence was unquestionable, and if he couldn't even see what was going on, then he didn't deserve to let Ernst feel at ease to hand over the cabinet of the Czech Duchy to him.

"Austria-Hungary, some traders, can make concessions, and we can also negotiate in terms of armaments and land occupation, and the Czech Duchy and Austria-Hungary are of the same origin, so we naturally cannot let the Czech Duchy suffer."

The words have been translated a little, but the general meaning is this, the Austrian Prime Minister Ernest von Koeh, speaking in the Bavarian dialect, Massena has a headache, but the meaning is already understood by Massena, but he shakes his head in response, and he must shake his head.

Are the Czech principalities and the Austro-Hungarian Empire cognate each other? This sentence is indeed true, but it is estimated that at this time the entire Austro-Hungarian Empire can't hold back and want to see the jokes of the Czech principality! They wanted the Czech principality to return to Austria-Hungary, and they preferred to send Ernst, the aristocratic executioner, to Africa.

The shit Czech principality and the Austro-Hungarian Empire are of the same origin, the only military force of the Czech Principality is the 100,000 Royal Army, and now they have no time to defend where they have the heart to help Austria-Hungary recover its territory?

Emperor Franz, who had been silent, finally spoke at this time, but the first thing he said had nothing to do with the matter but was concerned about Ernst's marriage to Maria.

Faced with Emperor Franz's unguessable words, Massena was a little stunned and didn't know how to answer, but fortunately, Emperor Franz didn't ask much, and then after two conversations, he said that he was a little tired and wanted to leave to rest. At this time, the officials of the Austrian cabinet were naturally dissatisfied, but the Emperor Franz had already left, and they could not continue to talk to Massena.

A trace of worry flashed in Archduke Karl's heart, although he couldn't guess the specific heart of Emperor Franz, but he still saw one thing very clearly, he himself was not the most suitable candidate in Emperor Franz's heart. Of course, now everything is not important, Emperor Franz is in very bad health, and the current crown prince is him, and no one else.

The night in Vienna was full of undercurrents, all of which culminated in the arrival of Masséna, and many nobles hesitated to know which side they should stand, especially the officials and generals who had followed Archduke Ferdinand before, and perhaps they were the most confused.

Towns on the outskirts of the Klaipeda region:

This was already the last line of defense, and there was artillery fire from time to time in the city of Klaipeda behind him, and it was obvious that the garrison in the city had exchanged fire with the Russian troops who did not know how to break through there.

Colonel David Pussin's defense of the town for three days and two nights, this is the last line of defense, and if it continues, it can only be fought in the streets, and the soldiers under his command have been sharply reduced from more than 1,000 to more than 300, even Colonel David Pussin's own wounded by a bullet in his left arm.

For a soldier, the wound on his body is a meritorious service, the more wounds, the greater the merit, of course, the wound behind is naturally not counted, and at the same time, you need to have a big life to be able to enjoy the glory you deserve.

To be honest, Colonel David Puszin is not too worried about the situation in the city of Klaipėda, after all, not to mention the three elite Royal Army divisions, even the Lithuanian Defense Forces formed have more than 10,000 units, which add up to not be able to attack in a short period of time, especially through the sea support they received arms support from East Prussia.

More than 20 tanks, more than 100 large-caliber artillery, enough to assemble 3 divisions of German armor division equipment, but unfortunately the population of the Klaipeda area is really small, otherwise they can even go to East Prussia to support Germany with 3 more divisions, and the attack of the Russian army under the attack of the two sides is a joke.

The current situation of the Russian army opposite Colonel David Pussin, also began to be difficult to see, and their attack was not as fierce as the next day, and they knew by looking at their appearance that the other side was waiting to retreat at any time. The other party is willing to waterproof Colonel David Pussin, and naturally he is not willing to carry it to the death, so the two sides are in no hurry or slow, you shoot me and I shoot each other.

Everything awaits the situation in the city of Klaipėda, where Colonel David Pussin's surrender is the only way to go, and if the Russian army is routed there, the crisis here will be resolved.

What was the situation in the city of Klaipeda at this time? The roar of artillery fire made the gunners of the Royal Army of the Czech Duchy very excited, although they were not Satan, but watching the small pile of Russian troops being blown up into the sky, their mood was indescribably comfortable.

In the end, I don't know what the Russian commander had for what reasons the soldiers began to withdraw back here, and even the soldiers of East Prussia began to slow down, and the next morning a major general of the Czech principality, who was in charge of the city of Klaipeda, received news that the German lost the Battle of the Marne.

The defeat at the Battle of the Marne was a good thing for the Entente, but not for the Russian Empire, and would Germany have increased its military power against East Prussia because of this? After all, by this time, the German-Czech army had begun to gain a slight advantage, and the Ottoman Empire had begun to deploy against Russia on the border.

Speaking of which, the defeat at the Battle of the En River was also an oversight on the part of the German army, since the French abandoned Paris and the government moved to Bordeaux, the German general Kluke gave up attacking Paris and turned eastward, preparing to cooperate with the German 2nd Army under the command of General Bíraud to encircle and annihilate the French 5th Army. However, the flanks of the German revolving front would have to pass near Paris, and they would have to cross the front of the French 6th Army.

The French commander, Chauffeur, did not seize this opportunity at the time, and he ordered the troops to continue to retreat. The commander of the garrison of Paris, General Gallieni, saw this clearly, and he immediately ordered General Maunuri's French 6th Army to prepare to attack the right flank of the German army. At the same time, he called Xia Fei again, hoping that he would approve the attack, but Xia Fei did not say anything. General Gallieni had no choice but to drive to the British headquarters in the hope of winning their support, but the British chief of staff said he was "not interested" in the plan to attack the right flank of the German army.

A good opportunity was just missed. On the evening of 3 September 1914, General Crucker of Germany reached the Marne, and the French 5th Army and the British Expeditionary Force outside of him had crossed the Marne earlier in the day. These two troops, who had retreated hastily and were exhausted and confused, had repeatedly received telegrams to blow up the bridge, but neither had done so. After capturing these bridgeheads, General Kluke prepared to cross the river immediately in the early morning of the next morning to continue his pursuit of the French 5th Army, despite the order of the Berlin High Command to keep him in step with Bireau's 2nd Army. Little did he know, however, that it was his own actions that gave the whole of Germany the opportunity to conquer France.

On this day, the officers and men of General Kluke's group trekked nearly 30 miles. Many soldiers fell to the ground exhausted. Cluk overwhelmed his soldiers and outpaced his supply convoy and heavy artillery fleet. It seemed to him that the French army was losing ground and that no trumpet could turn their heads against his morale and ability, but things often came unexpectedly.

On September 4, 1914, General Kluke pushed forward and bluntly told the High Command that he could not carry out the order to keep him behind as a flank of the German 2nd Army. Waiting for the German 2nd Army in Biro to catch up with him would have to halt the advance for two days, which he believed would weaken the entire German offensive and give the French time to regain their strength and move freely.

In fact, Biro's 2nd Army was just as exhausted. So, Kluke put aside the orders of the Supreme Command and continued to advance to the southeast, in other words, he was going further and further away from Paris. In Berlin, everyone from the Kaiser to the common people believed that the French army was about to be completely wiped out and that German victory was imminent, so they did not insist. In all of Germany, Moltke the Younger, the chief of the General Staff, was suspicious, suspecting that it was a trap, and he saw some clues in the number of French casualties and prisoners, but it was too late.

On the morning of 4 September, the report of the French reconnaissance plane gave General Gallieni the opportunity for him to "act immediately". The adventurous advance of Cluc's forces southeast of Paris had made his Royal High's troops the target of the French 6th Army and the British offensive under General Maunuri of France.

At 9 a.m., without the consent of Xia Fei, Gallieni issued a pre-order to Maunuri to prepare for battle. He then called the General Headquarters and asked Xia Fei to give an official order to attack. But Xia Fei did not comment. In fact, Xia Fei also had a counteroffensive plan, and the plan also included the plan to use Maunuri's 6th Army to attack the outside of the German right flank. Xia Fei hoped that one more day would allow reinforcements to arrive and the 5th Army to make arrangements, so that he would have more time to win the cooperation of the British army.

After listening to Gallieni's request, Xia Fei faced the battle map and pondered. In the afternoon, when Gallieri called again, Chauffy finally gave the go-ahead for Maunuri's 6th Army to attack from the north bank of the Marne, and at 10 p.m. that night ordered the rest of the French army to halt its retreat and launch a full-scale counteroffensive on 6 September.

But at this time, the British refused to carry out this counteroffensive plan. With a hint of anger in his anxiety, he personally went to the British command on the afternoon of September 5 to persuade the British commander, Sir French. Eventually, French agreed to Xiafei's request and said that he would "do his best" to fight.

In the evening, Xia Fei returned to his headquarters and issued a brief mobilization order to the troops: "We are about to participate in a battle, which is a battle that will affect the fate of our country. Now that the retreat phase is over, we should now go all out to attack the enemy and drive them back, and if the troops cannot advance any further, then hold their positions at all costs, preferring to die rather than retreat. Under the current circumstances, any gesture of weakness will not be tolerated. ”

On 5 September 1914, when Army Group Crucker passed east of Paris and could see the Eiffel Tower, its right rear flank was attacked by Maunnouri's 6th Army. Kluke immediately ordered the 3rd and 9th armies to turn back against Mao Laoli, and these two corps were tasked with covering the right flank of the German 2nd Army. So their retreat created a gap of 20 miles wide between the German 1st Army and the 2nd Army. Because the British army, facing this gap, had retreated rapidly, so Kluke dared to take this risk.

For the Germans, the key to victory was whether they could break the French flanks, Maunnouri's 6th Army and Foch's 9th Army, before the main French forces and the British could take advantage of a gap to break through their own waists. Cloc focuses on Maunuri's forces. When Maunuri was about to lose it, he asked Gallieri to send reinforcements from within Paris.

What Maunuri didn't know was that Paris was very short of transportation to transport soldiers at this time, but at the moment of emergency, General Galleri thought of a way, he ordered the Paris police to collect about 600 taxis, and finally used these taxis to transport the troops of 1 division to the battlefield, so that Maunuri was not defeated by Kluke in the end, and changed the situation in the whole of France.

In the early morning of September 6, 1914, the French army launched a counteroffensive on all fronts. The French 6th Army continued to fight fiercely with the German 1st Army on the Olqua River; The French 5th Army also turned around, turned its retreat into an offensive, fought with the German 1st Army, and exchanged fire with the right flank of the German 2nd Army; The French 4th and 9th armies intercepted the German 3rd and 4th armies, isolating the German 1st and 2nd armies.

On September 8, 1914, at a critical moment, the three corps of the British LinkedIn Army led by Sir French quietly climbed into the gap between the German 1st Army and the 2nd Army, separating the German 1st Army from the 2nd Army, and putting Kluke and Birro in danger of being divided and surrounded. As a result, on September 9, 1914, Biro ordered his 2nd Army to retreat.

Although Kluk's 1st Army temporarily defeated Maunuri, he was also isolated at this time and had to retreat back on the same day. By September 11, 1914, all German corps had withdrawn.

At this point, the Battle of the Marne ended. The Allied forces smashed the German army's plan for a quick victory and kept Paris, thus creating a stalemate on the Western Front in World War I. The strategic outcome of the battle was enormous, as the Germans lost their only chance to defeat France first and then turn against Russia.
