Warsaw, the capital of the Kingdom of Poland. However, the king of the Kingdom of Poland was not held by the Poles, but by the Russian Tsar.

  The Poles, since the time of Napoleon, have once again been ruled by foreigners, being suppressed and enslaved.

  Former Chief of Staff of the Russian Imperial Army, now Commander of the Northwest Front, Admiral Ivan Jilinski, placed his headquarters in Warsaw. Perhaps he likes to experience the feeling of a conqueror. In Warsaw, and indeed elsewhere in the Kingdom of Poland, the Russians were on top. They can take anything they want from the Poles, and the Poles dare not resist at all.

   On August 12, the combat preparations of the Northwest Front Army of the Russian Army had been completed for the most part. The rest can be completed smoothly in the next few days. General Ivan Jilinsky convened a group of generals of the Northwest Front Army to hold a battle meeting. All the commanders and commanders of the 1st and 2nd Army attended the meeting. In the meeting room of the headquarters, it can be said that a star is shining.

"Generals, the war has begun. His Majesty the Tsar has decided to declare war on the Allies. As His Majesty's generals, what we have to do is to defeat our enemies in the next war." Admiral Ivan Jilinsky Said.

  In many previous wars, the Russian Empire has never been able to win, which made these generals feel suffocated. Even though they are dealing with the most powerful army in the world this time, they are full of fighting spirit.

"I have some good news to tell you. First, East Prussia, which we are going to attack next, has only less than 200,000 German troops. Our strength is almost three times theirs." Ivan Gillings The general said with a smile.

   "Do we have that much more troops than the Germans? Great, we must be able to win."

   "Even if the Germans have better weapons and better fighting power than us. However, with enough numerical advantages, the Germans must not be our opponents. What's more, we still have elite Cossack cavalry!"

"The main force of the Germans is on the Western Front and was held back by the French. This is really great. Let the French fight the main force of the Germans, and we can easily defeat the Germans and win. "

  The generals of the Russian army all talked about it. In their view, with such a big advantage, their chances of winning will be very high. Once they defeat the German army, they can not only get great glory, but also get promoted and make a fortune. In addition, East Prussia is also an extremely rich place in their eyes. With the **** nature of the Russian army, it is bound to grab a good deal. Even if most of the booty needs to be handed over to the Tsar, they can still get a lot of benefits. Therefore, every Russian general is very optimistic, and he is full of expectations for the future battle.

   Admiral Ivan Jilinsky watched all this with a smile, and the generals' reactions did not exceed his expectations. Or rather, he said so on purpose. Only in this way can everyone's fighting spirit be stimulated.

"The second good news is that if we can reach Konigsberg, maybe we can capture the German crown prince. Of course, this possibility is very small. Once we can't resist our attack, the German crown prince will definitely However, if we act quickly enough to capture the German crown prince in one fell swoop, then we will make a fortune." Admiral Ivan Jilinsky continued.

  All the generals' eyes lit up, and some even became short of breath.

   In the European high society, the German crown prince has become a legend. He started from scratch and created a wealth that can rival the country. If the Russian army can capture the German crown prince, among other things, the ransom that can be extorted from him is enough to allow everyone to live a prosperous life. Even if none of these generals were poor, who wouldn't want to have more wealth?

   "Great, as long as we can reach Konigsberg and capture the German crown prince alive, we will make a fortune!"

   "Your Excellency, Commander, please issue an attack order as soon as possible, and the German Crown Prince must not be allowed to escape!"

  Generals one by one, take the initiative to ask for a fight. Everyone hopes to seize this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

"The third piece of good news is that both France and the United Kingdom have agreed to provide us with weapons, equipment and war supplies. After we have conquered East Prussia, assistance from the British and the French should be able to arrive. At that time, we It will become the most powerful army in the Russian Empire as the first unit to change clothes. Therefore, I hope that everyone can seize this opportunity and defeat the Germans!" said Admiral Ivan Jilinsky.

   "Yes, general." All the Russian generals replied.

  For them, this opportunity is indeed too rare. If you miss it, you may never have such an opportunity again in the future.

"The date of the attack on East Prussia is set for the 17th. On the 17th, the 1st Army and the 2nd Army crossed the border from the east and south respectively, entered East Prussia, and attacked Königsberg. I believe that The Germans will definitely not be able to resist our attack." Admiral Ivan Jilinsky said confidently.

  Other Russian generals are also full of confidence in the next battle. Coupled with the excitement of robbing East Prussia and capturing the German Crown Prince alive, they were even more excited. In this battle, if they don't try their best, I'm afraid they won't be able to.

   "General Leiningkamp, ​​General Samsonov, do you have any questions?" Admiral Ivan Jilinsky asked.

   "General, if our 2nd Army captures the German Crown Prince, will the ransom go to our 2nd Army?" General Samsonov asked.

  The other Russian generals also looked at Admiral Ivan Jilinsky, waiting for his answer, which was related to their vital interests.

  Admiral Ivan Jilinsky shook his head: "It is not acceptable to take it all alone. However, I can assure you that whichever group army captures the German Crown Prince will get an extra part of the future distribution."

  Admiral Samsonov nodded. He didn't really expect to be able to take it all alone, but he was very satisfied with being able to share more.

  The other generals are also gearing up, ready to fight this battle. Under the mobilization of Ivan Jilinsky, the fighting spirit of these Russian generals was raised to the peak.
