The Vienna palace, Franz is holding at the end of the year the conference, a sudden telegram interrupted the conference advancement. 维也纳宫,弗朗茨正在召开年末会议,一份突如其来的电报打断了会议进程。 On November 27 , 1879, reenforced the Russian force of Brest to encounter general army to ambush in the halfway, the southwest battlefield presented the transition. 1879年11月27日,增援布列斯特的俄军在半路遭到普军伏击,西南战场出现了转折。 Superficially, the Prussia war Vienna government, so long as related the final outcome to be good, the change in situation in partial battlefield, was not enough to make everyone be ready in full battle array. 表面上来看,普俄战争维也纳政府只要关系最终结果就行了,局部战场上的变局,不足以令大家这么严阵以待。 However southwest battlefield exception. On the one hand is because west of the Tsar government's gave Austria to benefit Dnieper River land mortgage, if these areas fell into federation hand, in the future the Vienna government will want to collect debts the unusual trouble.( Limits the Ukrainian area) 不过西南战场例外。一方面是因为沙皇政府把第聂伯河以西的土地抵押给了奥地利,要是这些地区落入了普波联邦手中,未来维也纳政府想要收债会非常的麻烦。(限乌克兰地区) On the other hand then for the export trade, erupts to start from the war, the Tsar government buys in the Austria advantage. 另一方面则是为了出口贸易,从战争爆发开始,沙皇政府就在奥地利买买买。 Once the Dnieper River shut off, limited to the transportation, suddenly Austria trade will definitely be greatly affected. 一旦第聂伯河被切断,受限于交通,俄奥贸易肯定会大受影响。 In order to make war wealth, the Vienna government also made the preparation. Many state-owned enterprises increased the production line, if suddenly Austria volume of trade reduces, these enterprises will lose seriously. 为了发战争财,维也纳政府也做了充分准备。很多国企都增加了生产线,要是俄奥贸易量减少,这些企业都会损失惨重。 Related to the own interests, the government naturally must attach great importance. As for the year-end conference, said that important also important, said that is unimportant also that a matter. 关系到了切身利益,政府自然要重视了。至于年末会议,说重要也重要,说不重要也就那么回事。 At the end of the year the conference includes: To this year politics, economical, diplomatic and military field development situation compiling, as well as next year government plan. 年末会议包括:对本年度政治、经济、外交、军事领域发展情况的汇总、以及来年的政府计划。 Various departments have done the homework, now reports to Franz, is competing to prepare for next year fiscal budget. 各部门早就做好了功课,现在向弗朗茨汇报,也是在为来年的财政预算争夺做准备。 These plans, launch regarding the national policy mostly, the core is the Franz leadership, he rarely meddled to the concrete plan, is the cabinet government is being responsible. 这些的计划,大都是围绕着国策展开的,核心本来就是弗朗茨主导,到了具体计划上他就很少插手了,都是内阁政府在负责。 ...... …… Franz: „Chief staff officer, says now the frontline situation!” 弗朗茨:“参谋长,说说现在前线的情况吧！” „Yes, your majesty!” Chief of the general staff Albrechtovich replied “是,陛下！”总参谋长阿尔布雷希特回答道 „ Yesterday afternoon, embarked the Russian force that from the Warren area goes to Brest to reinforce, the rigidity crosses the Pripyat River to encounter general army to ambush. “昨天下午,从沃伦地区出发前往布列斯特增援的俄军,刚度过普里皮亚季河就遭到普军伏击。 Because these Russian force are reassigns to be enrolled together from each region temporarily, the organizational connection has not straightened out, 30,000 Russian force were routed by a military strategist, the military loses at least over 8000. 由于这些俄军是临时从各地抽调混编而成的,组织关系还没有理顺,三万俄军被一个普军师击溃,兵力损失至少在八千以上。 The remaining armies have become the frightened person to scatter in all directions to escape, large number of weaponry were abandoned, in a short time loses the ability that fought again. 剩下的部队已经成为了惊弓之鸟四散而逃,大量的武器装备被遗弃,短期内丧失了再战的能力。 Does not calculate army that these morale do not have, Russian force in the total military strength of Warren area, already from initial 102,000 dropped 67,000, did not exist to general army strength superiority. 不算这些士气全无的部队,俄军在沃伦地区的总兵力,已经从最初的10.2万下降到了6.7万,对普军兵力优势不复存在。 If I am Moltke, gives up Brest, places Covili the direction of main attack. Took here, east takes Kiev, goes north Brest. 如果我是毛奇的话,就放弃布列斯特,将主攻的方向放在科韦利。拿下了这里,无论是东取基辅,还是北上布列斯特都可以。 However general army also had the advantage in the southwest battlefield. The north Russia person the soldier has been near Riga, Wiese Megaw defense line is also in imminent danger ; Central battlefield Collins had turned into the meat grinder. 不过普军也只是在西南战场占据了优势。北面俄国人已经兵临里加,维泽梅高地防线也岌岌可危;中部战场斯摩林斯克已经变成了绞肉机。 Judging from the present situation, the Russia person will probably adopt the flood and field to advance together. Depends on the advantage of Russia navy, occupies the possibility of advantage to be very big in coastal area of Baltic Sea. ” 从目前的情况来看,俄国人可能会采取海陆并进。依托俄国海军的优势,在波罗的海沿岸占据优势的可能性很大。” Franz: „The Moltke present pressure was very certainly big?” 弗朗茨:“这么说,毛奇现在的压力一定很大了？” Albrechtovich's affirmative reply: „Right!” 阿尔布雷希特肯定的回答道:“没错！” If general army is unable to obtain in the battlefield breaks through in fact, the Russia person takes action after Baltic Sea, the native place seriously is threatened, the Berlin government's internal navy faction is on the rise, that lived it up. 如果普军迟迟无法在战场上取得实质上突破,俄国人在波罗的海采取行动后,本土受到严重威胁,柏林政府内部的海军派抬头,那就热闹了。 Involved the own interests, coastal area's people one noisy, the navy faction seized the chance to catch up, even Moltke of noble character and high prestige, could not bear all pressure. 牵扯到了切身利益,沿海地区的民众一闹,海军派趁机发力,即便是毛奇再德高望重,也承受不住各方压力。 Franz sighs secretly, any star when comes across the internal crisis, then is always weak. Moltke sharply is opening up the perspective in the southwest battlefield, perhaps also bases on this. 弗朗茨暗自叹了一口气,任何名将在遇到内部危机的时候,总是那么无力。毛奇急着在西南战场打开局面,恐怕也是基于此。 Embarks from the military purely, actually puts the Russian force to enter the Polish area, finds the way to annihilate again, the odds of success will be bigger. 单纯从军事上出发,其实放俄军进入波兰地区,再想办法进行围歼,胜算还会更大。 Not only there is a profound masses foundation to depend on, but also reduced the pressure of administrative shipping, the front also reduced, can put into more military and Russian force decisive battles. 不仅有深厚群众基础可以依托,还减少了后勤运输的压力,就连战线也缩短了,可以投入更多的兵力和俄军决战。 The best plan on military, politically is actually the faulty stroke in handwriting. If really puts the Russia person to come , the Pole must with their disunity. 军事上的上策,政治上却是败笔。真要是放俄国人进来,波兰人就要和他们离心离德。 Foreign minister Wessenberg reminded: „ According to the information that we received, the diplomatic work of Russia also made the breakthrough progress. 外交大臣韦森贝格提醒道:“根据我们收到的情报,俄国的外交工作也取得了突破性进展。 They seemed to be giving the Dane secretly the commitment, just one week ago, the Danish government submitted the naval maneuvers plan to the Northern European federal parliament, the place in Denmark Strait. 他们似乎在暗地里给了丹麦人承诺,就在一周前,丹麦政府向北欧联邦议会提交了海军演习计划,地点就在丹麦海峡。 If the plan passes, the sea transit point of federation broke. Offer of Russia person should be very high, the Swede has an intent to move, the passed probability is very big. ” 如果计划通过,普波联邦的海上运输通道就断了。俄国人的出价应该很高,瑞典人已经有所意动,通过的几率很大。” The sea blockade could not want federation life, they can also encroach upon from the German federation empire, walk Elbe transportation commodity. 海上封锁要不了普波联邦的命,他们还可以从德意志联邦帝国借道,走易北河运输物资。 However such a, the logistics pressure will considerably increase. What is most essential is standing in line of Northern European federation, the diplomatic situation is disadvantageous to the Berlin government. 不过这么一来,后勤压力会大大增加。最关键的是北欧联邦的站队,外交局势对柏林政府非常不利。 If federation is at a disadvantage in the battlefield, who can guarantee that the Northern European federation won't hit a person when he is down? 如果普波联邦在战场上处于下风,谁能够保证北欧联邦不会落井下石呢？ The Danes may want to bring back two duchies, so long as the Russia person is willing to bid the buy Swede, all have the possibility. 丹麦人可一直都想要拿回两公国,只要俄国人舍得出价收买瑞典人,一切都有可能。 The confusing situation, making Franz have a headache extremely. Thinks the combination of William I Moltke has been able to hit, Alexander II is not never expected that affable. 扑朔迷离的局势,让弗朗茨头疼万分。原本以为威廉一世毛奇的组合已经很能打了,没想到亚历山大二世也不好惹。 The previous Prussia war, Alexander II has not grown, can only be the half-finished product Great Emperor, is not as good in gambling, this time staged a comeback is different. 上一次普俄战争,亚历山大二世还没有成长起来,只能算是半成品大帝,在博弈中略逊一筹,这次卷土重来就不一样了。 Makes war now, Franz had not discovered that Russia has the sign of eruption revolt, this is a extraordinary achievement. 开战到现在,弗朗茨还没有发现俄国有爆发起义的迹象,这就是一个了不起的成就。 Arrived the modern Tsar government is rare and beautiful flowers, in the external war, the home will present the revolt each time. 要知道,到了近代沙皇政府就是一个奇葩,每次对外战争中,国内都会出现起义。 Has not had the problem, means that Alexander II reformed successfully. A stable Russian Empire, is absolutely fearful. 没有出现问题,意味着亚历山大二世改革成功了。一个稳定的俄罗斯帝国,绝对是可怕的。 After hesitant a while, saying that Franz coldly: „ In diplomacy temporarily do not act rashly, only if the Northern European federation enters the war directly, or is the battlefield situation loses control completely, otherwise we continue remain neutral. 犹豫了一会儿后,弗朗茨冷冷的说道:“外交上暂时不要轻举妄动,除非是北欧联邦直接参战、或者是战场局势完全失控,不然我们就继续保持中立。 The general staff close attention war trend, discovered that any one can have the overwhelming advantage only then, needs first report to me. 参谋部密切关注战争走向,发现任何一方可能取得压倒性的优势,都必须要第一时间向我汇报。 Judging from the present situation, the odds of success of Russia person seems to be bigger, then we first are motionless, waits for UK , France to give federation blood transfusion. 从目前的情况来看,俄国人的胜算似乎更大,那么我们就先不动,等英法给普波联邦输血。 Once the both sides relative strength imbalance, sold to a weak side the Mark core machine gun technology in secret, teaches them to use the trench tactic, the protracted war time as far as possible, the mortar can also sell. ” 一旦双方实力对比失衡,就暗中把马克芯机枪技术卖给弱的一方,教他们用战壕战术,尽可能的拖延战争时间,迫击炮也可以卖。” The maintenance battlefield is balanced, the UK , France Austria three countries have the division of labor. For example: In the battlefield the strength balances is broken, if federation potential is weak, UK , France are responsible for giving them to transfuse blood ; If the Russia person potential is weak, is responsible for giving the blood transfusion by the Austria advantage. 维护战场平衡,英法奥三国也是有分工的。比如说:战场上实力平衡被打破,如果普波联邦势弱,英法负责给他们输血;如果俄国人势弱,就由奥地利负责给输血。 Who is in any case weak supports anyone, lets Prussia mutually wounded is everyone's pursue. Does not make fourth rise extremely, this is the common wills of three established empires. 反正谁弱支持谁,让普俄两败俱伤就是大家的追求。不让第四极崛起,这是三个老牌帝国的共同意志。 It is not right, should say that was the common will of law Austria two countries, the English has not said certainly. In the strategy of this aspect small snail, is quite blurry. 不对,应该说是法奥两国的共同意志,英国人还说不准。在这方面牛牛的战略,还是比较迷糊。 The weapon of low technique content, Franz always did not think it is necessary of security. Has not taken ahead of time, that is because does not need. 低技术含量的武器,弗朗茨从来都不觉得有保密的必要。没有提前拿出来,那是因为没必要。 In order to achieve the strategic goal, throws several technologies to go out, is not anything. If not consider the performance issue, Franz prepared to lose the tank technology. 为了达到战略目的,扔几项技术出去,根本就不算什么。如果不是考虑到性能问题,弗朗茨都准备把坦克技术丢出去了。 Very regrettable, this contraption loses, is very difficult to play the proper role. 很遗憾,这玩意儿丢出去,也很难发挥出应有的作用。 Steam engine tank that the brain hole drives greatly, the physique is too big, speed is also slow, unusual is not flexible, is easy to become the target of artillery. 脑洞大开的蒸汽机坦克,块头太大、速度又慢,非常的不灵活,容易成为炮兵的靶子。 The tank of internal combustion maneuvering force, the performance insufficient issue, cost clever chicken is expensive, the performance-to-price ratio is too low, cannot use. 内燃机动力的坦克,性能不够问题,成本还贼鸡儿贵,性价比太低,根本就用不起。 Austria benefits cannot use, Franz does not think that Prussia both countries can use. They cannot make the engine. 奥地利都用不起,弗朗茨不认为普俄两国能够用得起。况且,他们也生产不出来发动机。 Do not look that the internal combustion engine has appeared some years, in fact this contraption was still the high tech. 别看内燃机已经出现有些年了,实际上这玩意儿仍然是高科技。 Except that Austria benefits because of the Franz reason, in this aspect walks quite far outside, other country has not put in many research and development funds. 除了奥地利因为弗朗茨的缘故,在这方面走的比较远外,别的国家根本就没有投入多少研发经费。 The science and technology is money piles, without the fund invests, is naturally hard to yield the result. 科技都是钱堆出来的,没有资金投入,自然难以取得成果。 „Yes, your majesty!” Albrechtovich replied “是,陛下！”阿尔布雷希特回答道 The small interlude passed, Franz also asked: „The situation in South American area how, did the Chilean release our ships?” 小插曲过去了,弗朗茨又问道:“南美地区的局势怎么样了,智利人有没有释放我们的船舶？” The London government installs the ostrich, detaining the ships turned over the Chilean, Austria benefitted naturally seeks the Chilean government was unlucky. 伦敦政府装鸵鸟,把扣押船舶移交给了智利人,奥地利自然就寻智利政府的晦气了。 Bullying the weak and fearing the strong all along is the big powers true colors, must compensate from a native of Britain hand, with must compensate from the Chilean government hand, that is completely two concepts. 欺软怕硬一贯都是列强本色,从英国人手中要赔偿,和从智利政府手中要赔偿,那完全是两个概念。 Foreign minister Wessenberg said with a smile: „ South American that three children, but also is being thrashed, in a short time should not decide the victory and defeat. 外交大臣韦森贝格笑道:“南美那三个小朋友,还在厮打中,短期内应该不会分出胜负。 Since the English detaining the ships turns over after the Chilean government, matter progressed is smoother. Now the only issue was to detain the commodity on ships not, we are discussing the compensation with the Chilean. 自从英国人把扣押船舶移交给智利政府后,事情进展就顺利多了。现在唯一的问题是扣押船舶上的物资不在了,我们正在和智利人谈赔偿。 If not the English meddles suddenly, we sign the agreement with the Chilean government now. 如果不是英国人突然插手,我们现在就和智利政府签订了协议。 Perhaps was the English was too corrupt, caused the disaffection of Chilean government, they wanted to introduce the strength of us and French, kept in balance the English. ” 或许是英国人太贪了,引起了智利政府的不满,他们都想要引入我们和法国人的力量,制衡英国人。” This is a good news, although the niter of Chile is not only, Austria benefitted also discovered some niter quarries in the colony, but embarked from the cost, imported the ore of Chilean to be cheapest. 这是一个好消息,尽管智利的硝石不是唯一,奥地利也在殖民地上发现了一些硝石矿,但从成本上出发,还是进口智利人的矿石最便宜。 Between the contradictions as for both countries, are not worth mentioning in the face of the benefit completely. Thought of here, Franz discovered suddenly this Chilean government is not simple. 至于两国间的矛盾,在利益面前完全不值得一提。想到了这里,弗朗茨猛然间发现这一届智利政府也不简单。 Curries favor with law Austria both countries, seemingly betrayed the national interest, to win this war actually laid the foundation. 向法奥两国卖好,看似出卖了国家利益,实则是为赢得这次战争奠定了基础。 Does not handle two big hooligans ahead of time, even if defeated Peru and Bolivia, they still gave up any idea of that eats the belly the advantage. 不提前搞定两个大流氓,就算是击败了秘鲁和玻利维亚,他们也休想把好处吃到肚子去。 In the battlefield won the victory, actually diplomatically the example that the spoils of war spit, was really many. 战场上赢得了胜利,却在外交上把战利品吐出来的例子,实在是太多了。 The Chilean government obviously was looks to understand the essence of big powers, used this ships detaining, took the remedial measure promptly. 智利政府明显是看明白了列强的本质,利用这次船舶扣押事件,及时采取了补救措施。 Franz sighed: Any country can emerge, not lucky. 弗朗茨不禁感叹:任何一个国家能够脱颖而出,都没有侥幸。
