Chapter 822

With the end of the battle in Anderhuy, the Russian Army finally gained a foothold in the Regions of Afghanistan and gained a temporary lead.

It took half a month for the news to reach Vienna. Franz, who closely followed the war in Afghanistan, stared at the map of Central Asia.

He admitted that the scenery in Anderhuy was beautiful. Every valley was a scenic spot. There were snow-capped mountains, green fields, waterfalls in the distance, and fruit trees in the near distance.

But the Russians didn't come all the way just to see the scenery in Anderhuy, right?

In addition to the beautiful scenery, the local natural conditions were also relatively good. It could be considered a rich place in the Regions of Afghanistan.

As for the strategic value, frankly speaking, Franz didn't think it was very important.

From a strategic point of view, whether it was the Herat region in the west or the Wakhan corridor in the east, the Russians were more valuable than the Anderhuy region.

Especially the Wakhan corridor, across it was British India.

As a qualified spectator, the most important thing was to have curiosity, and Franz was no exception.

His military skills were limited and he couldn't see the true purpose of the Russians. Then he would find someone who could. The Austrians had a large group of staff officers, so it would be a temporary test.

In the Vienna Palace, Franz summoned a few rising stars from the Austrian General Staff.

"The war between the United Kingdom and Russia has been going on for almost a month. The Russians, who made the first move, didn't mobilize a large number of troops to capture the strategic Herat and Wakhan corridor. Instead, they captured Anderhuy. What do you think the true purpose of the Russian Army commander is? "

This was a question without an answer, and it tested one's imagination. It didn't matter if it was a rational analysis or a wild guess.

In Franz's opinion, this question was suitable for people with better luck.

After all, the final result was likely to be completely different from the original plan of the Russian Army commander. No matter how rational and rational analysis was, it couldn't withstand the ever-changing battlefield.

For a soldier, luck was also very important. Although it was a bit superstitious, sometimes it was impossible not to believe it.

A general's success was built on the bones of thousands. To be able to survive on the battlefield, apart from personal ability, luck was also very important.

The unlucky guys all fell on the way. This could be seen from the records of the Austrian military academies.

Every year, the military academy cadets who ranked at the top of the rankings were not bad in terms of individual ability, but those who managed to make it to the top were still the minority.

The rest were the unlucky ones, such as receiving a bento box on the battlefield, being injured during training, or making a mistake when it was time for promotion …

"Your Majesty, it's possible that Andrey was just a feint used by the Russians to confuse the British.

Although the direction of the Russian army's attack was uncertain, their ultimate strategic goal was clear. No matter what they did, it revolved around seizing the Afghan region.

I think the next step for Russia is Herat, the Herat. The British is Herat. "Russian Army's strategy.

Perhaps the Army's Army is, Huy, and the Herin, is, the Russian Army, Herin. is. is, one is, is, is. is.

Maybe the Commander of the Russian Army wants to break the rules and choose an unexpected attack route. For example, learn from the Mongolians' strategy of outflanking.

Without detailed information, Franz couldn't make a conclusion on whether Danke's plan was feasible or not. However, this idea was worthy of recognition.

Since ancient times, there were countless classic examples. They all relied on imagination that ordinary people couldn't imagine, and most importantly, luck.

It was almost impossible to replicate this success. The strategy of outflanking was the same. The Mongolians succeeded, but it didn't mean that the Russians could imitate it.

If the Persians were stubborn and didn't cooperate with the Russians, they would send troops to intercept the Russian Army. That would be interesting.

Without making any comments, Franz just smiled at Colonel Dank and ordered the attendant next to him, "Record it first. Does anyone have any different opinions?"

As the department with the most imagination in Austria, there was never a unified opinion. Just as Franz finished speaking, another officer spoke.

"Your Majesty, I think the Commander of the Russian Army only wants to occupy Andhuy and has no other purpose.

Based on the analysis of Afghanistan's geographical conditions, the only areas with relatively good natural conditions and fertile land are the Andhuy and Herin regions. The other areas are relatively barren.

The Russian Army is currently under the banner of liberating the Regions of Afghanistan. Their relationship with the Afghans is temporarily good. Once they occupy these two regions, they can obtain some local food supplies.

The logistics system of the Russian Army is very chaotic. As a frontline commander, he should be clear about the nature of the bureaucrats in the country.

This war was launched in advance. The frontline troops don't have enough logistics. If they advance too quickly on the battlefield, there may be problems with the logistics at any time.

If I were the commander of the Russian Army, the first thing I would consider is how to solve the logistics problem. At least, I have to ensure that the frontline troops don't starve, not how to win.

The British Army has deployed a large number of troops in the Herin region. The Russian Army can only easily occupy the Andhuy region. If they occupy the region, they can at least solve the problem of feeding the tens of thousands of Russian Army.

In this regard, the strategic significance of the Russians occupying Andhuy is no less than the Wakhan Corridor. "

Although it was difficult to accept, Franz still believed that it could really happen. After all, the Russian bureaucrats are magical creatures. There have been countless cases of them killing the frontline troops.

Britain and Russia are both big countries. The Regions of Afghanistan are of great strategic importance to both countries. This means that the war will not end in a short period of time.

If they don't first find a way to solve the problem of feeding the troops, they will be finished if there is an emergency.

Perhaps in the eyes of ordinary people, the Andhuy region can at most solve the problem of feeding the tens of thousands of Russian Army, but Franz doesn't see it that way.

At a critical moment, this region can save the lives of the Russian Army. After all, if there is not enough food to eat, they can go out and rob the locals.

It is impossible to completely solve the food problem, but there is still hope to raise rations for a month or so.

If the strategic resources are insufficient, they can stop the attack and build fortifications on the spot to reduce consumption. As long as the people don't starve, everything else can be discussed.

As for the problem of offending the Afghans, at that point, probably no Russian Army commander will care.

…

One by one, the magical ideas made Franz feel refreshed. If he didn't know that these were all blind guesses, he would have suspected that the Russian Army commander is not a famous general. There are so many ways to seize Andhuy.
