Germanic Empire: Please call me Wilhelm III

Little by little, by March 1715, the snow had melted.

The cold winter has passed, and spring has returned to the land.

Especially in the western part of Europe, that is, on the battlefield of the western front, spring undoubtedly came much earlier than on the eastern front.

The snow covering the ground has melted, but the roads have become a little muddy. This is also because the infrastructure of Gaul is very good. In the Russian Empire, where the infrastructure was very bad, the roads would not be passable at all this season.

However, this also means that the war, which has been silent for a winter, is about to break out again.

The flames of war will once again burn in this land.

In the north of Gaul, the Germanic Imperial Army, the Gallic Army and the Imperial Expeditionary Force of the Empire of the Sun can be described as a heavy gathering.

Everyone regards the next battle as the most crucial battle. It is even regarded as a battle that will determine the outcome of this war.

Therefore, everyone hopes to win this battle, not suffer a defeat.

Germanic Empire, General Staff.

Emperor August summoned the top brass of the army and air force, including the commanders of the army’s front-line armies, and all returned. Everyone knows very well that this battle is very important for the Germanic Empire and will be a battle that will determine the victory or defeat.

If everything can develop as planned by the Germanic Empire, the Germanic Empire will be able to completely crush the Gaul state in this battle. Even the Imperial Expeditionary Force will suffer heavy losses because of this, and will have to flee back to the mainland and hold on to the mainland. The entire Western Front would be swept away by the Germanic Empire.

“Gentlemen, for the Empire, the most crucial battle is approaching. For this battle, the Empire has gambled on everything. Therefore, the empire must win in this battle, and it must not lose! August said.

“Yes, Your Majesty!” The generals and marshals of the army all answered.

“Your Excellency Chief of the General Staff, let me introduce the battle plan to everyone!” August said.

“Yes, Your Majesty!” The Chief of the General Staff, Marshal Moltke Jr., occupied.

“Gentlemen, according to the scheduled plan, the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th, 14th and 15th armies of the Imperial Army will launch an attack on the line of the Marne between Barry and Verdun, further attracting the main forces of the Gallic Army and the Imperial Expeditionary Force that never sets to this line. After that, the 7th, 8th, 13th, and 16th armies of the Imperial Army will be killed from the mountains of A, detour the side of the Gauls’ Marne River defense line, and cooperate with the frontal troops to surround and annihilate all the main forces of the Gauls and the Sunseters here. The 17th, 18th, 19th and 20th Armies would serve as reserves for the operation. Among them, the 19th and 20th armies remained in the empire. The 17th and 18th armies were stationed in the Kingdom of Belis.

In addition, the five newly formed Panzer Divisions of the Imperial Army will be assigned to the 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th, and 8th Armies to strengthen the attack power of these armies. ”

Marshal Moltke Jr. introduced to everyone.

The battle plan of the Germanic Imperial Army this time is, to put it bluntly, to suddenly kill from the mountains of A, sneak attack on the flanks of the Gauls and the Sunbu people, and thus solve them in one fell swoop.

If this plan succeeds, both the main forces of the Gauls and the Sunseters will be lost here.

Then, the Germanic Empire would be able to completely lock in victory on the Western Front.

“Are the roads in the Ardennes passable? Especially tanks, armored vehicles, trucks and heavy artillery were passed. August asked.

This condition is very important if the road is impassable. Then, the Germanic Empire could not attack from the flank, but could only put in more troops to attack from the front.

In this case, the Germanic Empire is bound to invest more power. Even if victory is won, it will not be able to hit the main forces of the Gauls and the sun in one fell swoop. Thus, victory could not be achieved quickly.

“Your Majesty, I have personally inspected the roads in the Ardennes. Our sappers reinforced many sections of roads that were difficult to pass. But for the sake of secrecy, that section of Gaul territory was not moved. Once the operation is launched, the sappers can repair the road in the shortest possible time, which will not affect our march! The commander of the 7th Army, General Waldzer, said quickly.

After the start of the war, the 7th Army was a reserve, which made him unable to hold back for a long time and wanted to lead troops into battle.

Now, such a good opportunity is in front of him, and he certainly won’t miss it.

August nodded, he was sure there would be no big problem.

Although, the infrastructure in the Ardennes is a little worse. However, the Germanic Imperial Army of this era did not have too heavy equipment. Even the Wolf light tank is controlled below ten tons. Naturally, there will be no higher requirements for transportation facilities like medium and heavy tanks.

“Another point is that when we launch a large-scale offensive on the Western Front, the Russians will definitely not be lonely. Whether it is to share the pressure between the sun and the Gauls, or to avenge the last one-shot revenge, the Tsarists will definitely attack. Therefore, the battlefield on the Eastern Front must be held to withstand the attack of the Tsarist Russians and buy enough time for the Imperial Army to achieve a decisive victory on the Western Front. If necessary, more reserves could be mobilized to reinforce the Eastern Front. August said.

“Your Majesty, there are already four army groups on the Eastern Front. Although, such a force is undoubtedly at a disadvantage for the Russian army. However, it was barely enough to guard against the attack of the Tsarist Russians. What’s more, the temperature in the Eastern European plain is still relatively cold, the snow has just begun to melt, and the roads are even muddy. Even if the Russian army wanted to launch a large-scale offensive at this time, these factors would limit them. The Imperial Army’s troops on the Eastern Front were fully capable of holding out until victory on the Western Front. Marshal Hindenburg, commander-in-chief of the Eastern Front, said.

“The only trouble may be Austria-Hungary. Although, they have also strengthened their defenses. Moreover, retreated to the Carpathians. However, once they became the main offensive direction of the Russian Empire, they were still very dangerous. Marshal Hindenburg continued.

“On the Austro-Hungarian side, they can only rely on themselves. Now, the empire has no spare power to support them. August said.

“Gentlemen, victory or defeat is in this battle. This time, we must win. God bless the Germanic Empire! August shouted.

“God bless the Germanic Empire!” The marshals and generals of the army also had a boost in morale.
