The Russian Guards 2nd Army and 9th Army were destroyed in the Kingdom of Pnd. This was a serious blow to the Russian Army and even Russia as a whole. You must know that the total strength of the four group armies that were destroyed was more than 900,000, which is already equivalent to 65% of the standing army of the Russian Army. Not to mention, there is also the 2nd Guards Army, which is regarded as the elite of the Russian army.


    If Russia does not have a huge poption to support it, losing so many troops will directly make Russia lose in this war. But even so, such a loss was uneptable to Tsar Nichs II.


    No, after learning that the 2nd Guards Army and the 9th Army were destroyed and the defenders in Warsaw surrendered to the Germans, Nichs II could no longer hold back his suppressed anger. In the office of the Winter Pce, he roared directly.


    "Why? Why did the army fail again? We have already lost 900,000 people to the German 8th Army. You know, that is just an army with less than 200,000 people. Could it be that the fighting power of the Germans is really so strong that one can outnumber ten?" Nichs II yelled hoarsely with red eyes.


    A group of senior Russian military and political officials bowed their heads and said nothing. Especially the generals of the army, their faces were flushed. Obviously, they were all ashamed of such a result. Although they are well aware that thebat effectiveness of the Russian Army has not been very good. However, with the war like this, they still don''t know where to put their old faces.


    Nichs II was very angry, and he didn''t understand why his army was so bad. Nearly a million troops were wiped out within a month. Especially since they were all done by the German 8th Army, which made him feel even more ashamed. If the Russian army has a million soldiers, and even the German army of 200,000 can''t fight, then how can Russia continue to fight this battle?


    After a while, Nichs II finally vented his anger.


    "Everyone, our army has suffered heavy losses on the front line. How should we fight this battle?" Nichs II stared at a group of ministers, his eyes full of unkindness.


    "Your Majesty, I have to admit that we have suffered a disastrous defeat in this war. The fighting power of the Germans has far exceeded our expectations. We originally thought that the Germans would ce their main force on the Western Front. It is an opportunity. But I never thought that a German army would be so powerful." Grand Duke Nichs, themander-in-chief of the Russian army, looked helpless.


    As themander-in-chief of the Russian army, Grand Duke Nichs undoubtedly has an extremely deep understanding of thebat effectiveness of the Russian army. Although, thebat effectiveness of the Russian army is definitely not in the forefront among the great powers. However, it would be unfair to deny thebat effectiveness of the Russian army in this way. Thebat effectiveness of the German army is of course the best in the world. But if it has twice the force advantage, the Russian army can still win. No matter how bad it is, it can be resisted. But this time, thebat effectiveness of the German army waspletely extraordinary.


    "Your Majesty, the German 8th Army we are facing should be the most powerful army in the German Army. Themander of this army is the Crown Prince of Germany. ording to the information we have obtained before and the information collected on the battlefield The equipment of this regiment is very sophisticated and its firepower is very strong. An infantry division has more artillery and machine guns than our army. It is conceivable that with such powerful firepower, theirbat effectiveness will soar. level," said Russian Army Minister Sukhomlinov.


    It is no secret that the German army has advanced equipment. In particr, the 8th Army was built by Qin Tian into a force with the best firepower in the world, and Nichs II also knew about it. At first, he thought it was because the German crown prince had too much money and had no ce to spend it, so he used so much money to build a luxurious army. If this money is used in Russia, they can arm at least four army groups. Nichs II confidently believed that the four Russian armies could definitely defeat the German 8th Army.


    But now, reality pped him hard. The four Russian armies, including an elite army, were all eaten up by the German 8th Army.


    "I brought you here not to hear how powerful the Germans are. After we lost four armies, the frontline is very empty. Now, what should we do? If the Germansunch an attack If not, we will have no way to stop their attack!" Nichs II said with a serious face.


    Before the mobilization has not beenpleted, and the standing army has suffered heavy losses, the vast territory in western Russia is almost undefended. Once the German armyunches an offensive, it will surely be able to break through and let Russia fall into arge area of ??territory.


    Russian tsars, each had an obsession withnd that others could not understand. So did Tsar Nichs II. He absolutely cannot allow the territory of Russia to fall.


    "Your Majesty, most of our mobilization has beenpleted. Soon, we will have enough troops to send to the battlefield. Therefore, there is no need to worry about insufficient troops. Of course, thebat effectiveness of the newly formed troops is bound to be inferior to that of the standing army." Yes. Therefore, we must have a sufficient force advantage to be able to confront the Germans. Therefore, I suggest that we start the second phase of mobilization immediately and increase the total strength of our army to more than five million. " Nichs II said with a serious face.


    Nichs II frowned. If so many troops were to be mobilized, it would definitely cost a lot of money. However, when you think of how powerful the German army is, if you don''t mobilize arge number of troops, you will not be an opponent of the German army at all. Therefore, Nichs II did not object to the second stage of mobilization.


    "If the Germans attack us, how should we hold them off?" Nichs II asked.


    "Your Majesty, the Germans should notunch an attack on us in a short time. Their strength is too small, only one legion. The sessive wars must have caused them a lot of losses. Even if the losses are notrge, but Weapons and ammunition also need to be replenished. Tired soldiers also need time to rest. Therefore, we still have enough time." Grand Duke Nichs said.


    Tsar Nichs II was relieved after hearing this.
