Chapter 133(2/2)

Even if they are attacked by Ming army tanks, they can still effectively resist with the help of field fortifications.

Moreover, in this way, the Ming army's advantage in aerial reconnaissance was also lost.

Because our army moves at night and builds fortifications immediately after moving forward.

Our army was here at dawn, and we built fortifications every day, waiting for them to attack.

Such a rolling attack...!"

"Ha! If we hit Moscow like this, your beard will probably turn gray." Frederick laughed.

I’ve never heard of it, attacking every night.

We can only advance ten kilometers!

God, with this slow advance, when will we be able to reach Moscow and drive away the Ming people?

Duke Winter coughed in dissatisfaction and gave Richthofen a look, signaling him to continue.

"Your Majesty, you are worrying too much!

Smolensk is three hundred kilometers away from Moscow. If we advance ten kilometers every day, it will take almost thirty days, that is, one month to reach the city of Moscow.

But we have been preparing for it for two months!

We need to dig trenches all the way to a distance where the Russians can shoot with rifles.

Then with the bravery and iron-bloodedness of the Prussian soldiers, they defeated the Russians and the Ming Dynasty."

"If trench warfare is fought, our casualties will be very high. Moreover, the speed of advancement will be very slow."

Bismarck suddenly spoke.

In the last war, Prussia and the French fought enough trench warfare.

Somme, Verdun, these battles are called the meat grinder.

Hundreds of thousands of people were killed and wounded at every turn, and corpses on the battlefield almost filled every inch of the land.

Just thinking about that chilling scene made Bismarck feel his heart sinking.

"Trench warfare was brutal and resulted in heavy casualties.

However, the casualties here are very high, which means that the casualties on both sides of the battle are very high.

According to the experience of the last battle, the losses of both sides in the trench tug-of-war were about one to one.

In other words, if we lose one soldier, the Ming army and the Russian army will also lose one soldier.

The number of our army is more than twice that of the Ming army and the Russian army.

Moreover, after successive wars, the Russian army no longer has any additional sources of troops."

"The Ming people still have additional troops. They have a population of 400 million, and their numbers are as numerous as the stars in the sky." Frederick did not agree with this life-threatening strategy.

After all, the casualties would be too great.

Although he has experienced the last war, he has a relatively strong tolerance for the number of casualties.

But it was precisely because of experiencing the war with the French that Frederick knew how destructive such a cruel war could be to a country.

He didn't want Prussia to experience such a cruel war again.

"Although the Ming Dynasty had a large population, they did not carry out general mobilization.

It takes at least three to four months for their soldiers to go to the front line from being recruited.

The first three months were spent training these soldiers.

So that they can transform from workers and farmers into qualified soldiers.

In other words, their recruitment cycle takes three to four months.

In this case, they cannot withstand heavy consumption.

Moreover, our allies, Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Finland, Poland, and the Austro-Hungarian Empire, also agreed to recruit more soldiers.

By fighting a war of attrition, we can definitely defeat the Ming and Russian armies."

"I still don't like this battle plan. The cost is too high!" Frederick shook his head.

Since the boss said he didn't like it, naturally none of the ministers stood up to express support.

The conference room suddenly became silent, and no one spoke for a long time.

"Fighting trench warfare step by step will cause heavy casualties and is time-consuming and labor-intensive.

But this is better than being like Vyazma, who was smashed to pieces by other people's tanks.

Hundreds of thousands of people only held on for a few days.

What did their sacrifices bring in return? Massive casualties of the Ming army?

No!

Your Majesty the Emperor, you are wrong!

We suffered more than 100,000 casualties, but the Ming army suffered less than 2,000 casualties.

Two thousand versus hundreds of thousands, it's still a one-to-one battle in close combat.

As long as your brain is not flooded, you will know what to do."

Duke Winter spoke, and from the beginning he spoke fiercely to support his younger brother.

Seeing the two big bosses die in person, the ministers were even more afraid to speak.

Nowadays, everyone is just a loser, and they don’t dare to fall in any direction.

It’s better to stand on the wall and enjoy the scenery!

"Winter...!" Frederick was so angry that his head was spinning, but there was nothing he could do.

Because Richthofen's battle plan is almost the most consistent with the current situation.

Use field fortifications and trenches to resist the power of Ming army tanks.

Similarly, trenches and fortifications can also weaken the damage caused by Ming army artillery fire and aircraft.

There is nothing wrong with doing this except that it takes time and effort.

What's more, Vyazma's poor record made everyone realize that without field fortifications, it was impossible to defeat the Ming army.

"Your Majesty the Emperor!

You should know that it is spring in Russia on the front lines.

The land is thawing!

The land at this time is the softest, and it is best to dig field fortifications.

Opposite us, there are 600,000 to 700,000 Ming troops.

But the Ming army and the Russian army are not only going to deal with us!

They also had to deal with the Hebrews on the central front and Napoleon on the southern front.

There were half a million Hebrews, and Napoleon's troops were only more, not less, than ours.

War of attrition is currently the most suitable tactic for us.

Once all the coalition forces learn from us, then millions of Ming troops will not be able to defend a front line thousands of kilometers long.

As for the Russians, we all know what they are like.

Without the support of the Ming people, we could reach Moscow in twenty days."

After Duke Winter finished speaking, there was another "buzz" and "buzz" sound.

The ministers actually preferred Richthofen's battle plan.

Moltke's combat plan has been proved by Vyazma's failure to be impossible to succeed.

Duke Winter smiled proudly, he had long expected such a scene.

It seems that promoting Richthofen was the right thing to do.

After all, he is the principal of the Dresden Infantry School, and he has two brushes.

I don't know how much better he is than that bald-headed Maoqi.
