"Kyiv ......! Are you crazy? Moltke looked at Kong Tingxun with wide eyes, as if he was looking at a monster.

You must know that Kursk is still hundreds of kilometers from Kyiv, and no matter how fast the tank troops march, it is impossible to reach Kyiv quickly.

He thinks that this Oriental is alarmist!

"It's Kyiv!

After the annihilation of the central group of coalition forces in Kursk, the gateway to Kyiv will be opened.

And now the coalition forces led by the French army attacking Tsaritsyn, almost all the supplies have to be transferred in Kiev.

Knocked out the transit center of Kyiv and wiped out the supplies that were as high as a mountain there.

There was no need to fight the Battle of Tsaritsyn, and the Emperor Napoleon would not hold out for a few days before he had to withdraw his troops.

Li Xiao is a very good person and dares to take risks.

From what I know about him, once Kursk wins a complete victory, he will definitely march on Kyiv.

Completely eliminate the transit center of the coalition forces, and then end the fighting on the southern front.

If the French command was wrong, he could even completely annihilate or even inflict heavy damage on the French army.

The French army and the Prussian army are the two pillars of the coalition army, and Li Xiao is trying to knock down the French and these pillars. ”

Bismarck and Frederick's old cat narrowed their eyes, each thinking in their hearts.

"Hundreds of kilometers of marching, but also fighting. What if they are supplies?

They are tanks and need to drink diesel. Their supplies will only be more than ours, hundreds of kilometers of supply lines, and the flanks are exposed to the French.

Could it be that they are not afraid of the destruction of the whole army?

Don't think that tanks are invincible, the French destroyed dozens of Ming tanks in the Svetloyar marshes on the east bank of the Volga.

I heard that anti-aircraft guns are still used. Moltke was still unconvinced.

"In the Battle of Kursk, the Ming army can block the bottom edge of the front for 300 kilometers. Then they will naturally also be able to assault more than 300 kilometers and attack Kyiv.

Your Excellency Chief of the General Staff, do not forget. Kyiv, however, is stockpiling supplies like a mountain.

Everything the Ming army needs, there is there. ”

It is unwise to rashly scold Moltke, the chief of the General Staff, but Kong Tingxun doesn't care.

There is nothing more important than showing one's talent in front of Frederick and Bismarck.

When he was at Shanhaiguan Army University, Kong Tingxun's combat studies were always excellent.

He can not only read through the articles on campaign tactics written by Li Xiao, but can even memorize them backwards.

Armed with these advanced military ideas, Moltke naturally couldn't say anything about him.

However, thanks to the rigorous spirit of the Prussians, the scale is marked in the lower left corner of the map.

Kong Tingxun, who served as a training staff officer, was naturally able to convert the scale clearly at a glance.

"Uh......!" Moltke really doesn't know how far Kyiv is from Kursk.

Now he was directly asked by Kong Tingxun!

The staff officers of his generation did not learn the knowledge of scales at all.

Many people believe that that should be the work of mathematicians, not the iron-blooded soldiers of the Empire.

"So, how do you think we're going to deal with what's coming?"

Seeing that Moltke did not speak, Bismarck asked kindly.

"Uh......!

If you are in Daming, this kind of thing is to be calculated with a precise plan.

However, I am alone here, and I can only say in general terms, and the specific values may have some errors. ”

In the face of Bismarck and Frederick, Kong Tingxun was modest.

"Tell me about it, I don't blame you for saying something wrong!" Bismarck looked at Kong Tingxun with a smile.

"Your Excellency Prime Minister, I think that even if the Ming army is sharply equipped, it is an elite army.

However, after all, there are 500,000 troops in the encirclement, and although the equipment is poor, it is not without the strength to fight.

First of all, we want to stabilize Austria-Hungary, and His Excellency the Prime Minister or His Majesty the Emperor will send a telegram expressing their full support for the Allies.

As long as the Austro-Hungarian troops in the encirclement felt that there was still hope, they would desperately resist and not surrender.

Once an army of this size has strengthened its confidence in resisting, it will take at least ten days for the Ming army to eat it.

Our army can also make a tentative attack in the direction of Moscow, pay attention! It's just a tentative attack, and it can't really launch a full-scale attack.

Otherwise, there is a danger that the whole army will be destroyed.

Taking advantage of the desperate resistance of Austria-Hungary, the reserves of our army should quickly move south and establish a line of defense between Kursk and Kiev.

However, our Prussian reserves should not be enough to fill such a large gap.

I think we should unite with the French army and let the French army also send troops to build a defensive line with our army from south to north.

After all, Kyiv was a logistical supply transit point for the French. ”

"Hmmm! Nice advice, thank you kids. Go back and ask Luna for me! Bismarck stood up and politely shook hands with Kong Tingxun.

Kong Tingxun was stunned, he felt that he hadn't finished speaking, and his talent had not been fully displayed.

This is ......, drive yourself away?

But Bismarck said that he wanted him to go, and he had no reason to stay.

A guard walked in at the door and politely invited Kong Tingxun out. When he stepped out of the door, a feeling of unloading the mill and killing the donkey arose.

"Huh! A lad who loves to behave. Frederick glanced at Kong Tingxun's back and smiled.

"But the idea is good!" Bismarck glanced at Frederick.

"Huh!

Let Napoleon send troops with us?

Thanks to him, he could figure out that Napoleon was inseparable from the Ming on the southern front.

It took more than 100,000 people to advance to the Tsaritsyn district.

Is he willing to send troops with us at this time to build a defensive line to block the Ming people? ”

Moltke scoffed at Kong Tingxun's idea!

"How far is Napoleon's going?" Frederick asked, looking at Moltke.

"Just advancing to the city of Tsaritsyn, there was strong resistance from the Russians and the Ming army. At the end of the day, there were nearly 10,000 casualties, and the position advanced only a few hundred meters. ”

Moltke reluctantly reported that he also had a headache for this kind of urban offensive and defensive warfare.

When we attacked Smolensk a few months ago, the horror of the battle is still fresh in my memory.

In a city like Tsaritsyn, I am afraid that it will not be possible to take it without filling in hundreds of thousands of people.

However, Napoleon now had more than a million coalition troops under his command, and it is estimated that he would not care about these casualties.

"Napoleon won't send troops with us to build a new house line?" Bismarck asked.

"Although he had more than a million men under his command, he did not have any extra troops. Tsaritsyn is a hard bone, and I'm afraid Napoleon still feels that his forces are not enough. ”

"What about our reserves?"

"It's even more unreliable, more than 800 kilometers away. There is no rail connection!

The weather and road conditions are very bad, and it is simply too late to get to Kyiv within ten days and build a defensive line.

Moreover!

Now that the ground is frozen hard, it will take longer to dig foxholes and trenches. ”

Mao Qi shook his head helplessly, although Kong Tingxun's method was good, it was difficult to implement.

It is easy for a person who is good at talking on paper, and he does not think about the difficulties he encounters in practice.

They will only wishfully assume that the whole world will cooperate with them.

"The French can't draw up their troops, and our people can't quench their thirst ......!"

"If you want me to think, it is impossible for the Ming army to annihilate more than 500,000 enemy troops. There is still room to continue the offensive on Kyiv!

According to what Kong said just now, the Ming army added up to only 200,000 people. With an unknown number of Russian troops, they will eat more than 500,000 coalition soldiers, and there will also be casualties and losses.

Anyway, in my experience, after such a big battle, it will not be possible to fight such a big battle without resting for a month or two. Moltke was strongly skeptical of Kong's inferences.

"Anyway, it doesn't matter.

The important thing is that the coalition forces inside the Kursk encirclement are irretrievable!

Neither we nor the French could catch up. ”

"In any case, after the Kursk region is controlled by the Ming army, we also have to build a new defense line."

"But now, where are the troops from? My troops, it's too far away. ”

"yes!"
