Chapter 2539: The Future
"In the future we will use machinery to replace animal power, and the role of horses will be greatly reduced. Maybe many people find it difficult to accept it now. Maybe the cost of machinery may be higher than that of horses, but this is the only way. The country has taken the risk for us. Naturally, we can turn these horses into real money. The crown prince is very determined in promoting industrialization and mechanization, and the first step is ours, followed by the Austro-Hungarian Empire." Caliput said.
"From a military point of view, if we want Denikin, who is already very weak, to continue fighting, with limited funds, there is no future for relying solely on machine guns and light artillery. There is no essential difference in the military equipment of the two sides. The opponent has a huge advantage in strength. Denikin's thinking is quite right, to gain strategic and tactical advantages through the mobility of the troops, it is impossible for us to give them a large number of tanks and armored vehicles, and they also have enough technical personnel to control These weapons, so we can only give them horses, which also confirms Denikin's ability from another aspect. He has a fairly clear understanding of himself and the situation of the war." Caliput said.
"However, this upper-middle-class soldier in terms of ability is still almost wiped out by their enemies. I always feel that in the next war, at the tactical level, the opponent we encounter may be more difficult than this time." Von Seeckt said.
As a soldier, von Seeckt was naturally very concerned about the Russian Civil War. After studying many battles, von Seeckt found that although the two sides in the current Soviet-Russian Civil War have the same level of equipment as the Russian army in World War I There is a big gap in comparison, but their tactics are more flexible and changeable, and they are no longer the rigid tactics of the old Russian army. From the perspective of leaders, the generals of both sides have raised a level. Moreover, the fighting will of the troops is stronger than that in the first World War. Therefore, von Seckert came to a conclusion that even though Russia has suffered heavy losses in terms of hardware, if a more efficient government controls the country, then Russia may cause more trouble for Germany in the future.
"That's right, the Russians learn quickly. If the previous Russian army only learned some superficial knowledge, then the current Russian army is trying to systematize the previous experience, and the enemy is also growing, so we must continue to improve." Caliput said.
"Are you serious about what you said to Denikin at the end? Does His Royal Highness really want to create a second vassal state on the Eastern Front?" Von Seeckt asked.
"If it is possible, of course it is, but unfortunately, I am not optimistic about Denikin's army. They lack a mass base, which fundamentally limits their combat effectiveness. When they use up their gold and wealth After the end, the only thing waiting for them is failure. I don’t deny that some of Soviet Russia’s practices have indeed caused some enemies, but most Russians support them. Under the circumstances that the empire is unwilling to get involved in the Russian civil war, Our help can only delay the pace of Russian reunification," Khaliput said. "If there is no second vassal state, then we at least hope that the territory of Ukraine will be larger."
"You are saying that Ukraine will also be involved in this war if necessary,
And the empire will serve as Ukraine's backing, tearing off another piece of the current Russian territory? "Von Seeckt said.
"That's right, at least this is the plan now. We must cultivate our vassal state so that he has certain capabilities. What we need is a strong ally, not a baby who only knows that he is under the protection of the German Empire. So some Things have to be experienced by them," Caliput said.
"Your Highness, this is the result of negotiations between General Caliput and the Russians. Please take a look." Earl Schelling sent a report to the crown prince.
"Okay, put it aside." The crown prince nodded and said.
"Your Highness, in fact, there is an opinion in the army that since we are so afraid of the new country that is about to rise, why don't we launch a preventive war again next year or the year after? After all, our environment is different from before. No one on the European continent can stop the advance of the Empire," said Earl Schelling.
"Do you know what the terror of this regime is?" Ruprecht said. "The horror of it is that it is difficult for him to succumb to simple hard oppression! War is cost-conscious, and it is impossible for us to fight a war that loses money or even kills one thousand enemies and loses eight hundred! If everyone develops peacefully , if the gap between us and the enemy can continue to widen, then we will naturally choose development instead of war. Before the outbreak of the Great War, the fundamental reason why we thought it was necessary to launch a war was that we were ready, and the Allies, especially It is the Russians who are not ready, so we must start the war when the balance of power between the two sides is most favorable to us!"
"It is understandable that soldiers want to gain promotion and benefits through a war, but as a government, we cannot be influenced. At this point, Caliput sees clearly that he is good at fighting but not warlike, so In the future he can serve as the Chief of Staff of the Bavarian Army," said the Crown Prince.
To be honest, the Soviet Union developed very fast in history, and the governing efficiency of the Soviet Union was indeed far higher than that of Tsarist Russia. But this is not the reason why the crown prince has to limit the war with the Soviet Union! The reason is simple, no matter how fast the Soviet Union develops on this plane. It is also impossible to be faster than Germany and Austria, which integrates the whole of Western Europe and most of Eastern Europe! The Soviets lost too many industrial, mineral, human and technological resources. So there is no rush for the crown prince! Take it easy!
Ever since, under the control of the Germans, the flames of war that were about to extinguish on the Eastern Front once again had a chance to rekindle. After receiving a large amount of arms and material support from Germany, Denikin's White Army once again revived , abruptly blocked Budyonny's three large-scale attacks, and at the same time, under the leadership of Korninov, a large number of Cossack cavalry tore through the opponent's line of defense and rushed towards the depth, which directly caused Budyonny to have to Abandon the immediate front and start a large-scale retreat. And this kind of hasty retreat will naturally leave Denikin with a large number of personnel and supplies, so the White Army, which is about to die, is alive and kicking again!
And because of problems on the western front, Soviet Russia had to mobilize troops originally used to encircle and suppress Kolchak from Central Asia and Asia to the western front to increase the siege of Denikin. However, in this way, Kolchak's troops, which had been on the run, had a chance to breathe.
