Poznan general army headquarters, Moltke are busy holding the military conference, discussed that must regain the Poznan city. 波兹南普军指挥部,毛奇正忙着召开军事会议,商议要不要收复波兹南城。 From the geographical position, Poznan is situated in Polish Plain Center, is the transport hub and industrial center, naturally grasps in own hand. 从地理位置上来看,波兹南地处波兰平原中心,又是交通枢纽、工业中心,自然是掌握在自己手中好。 In Polish plain Poznan and geographical position is not related issues important, as the inland intimate city, Poznan does not need to consider the foreign enemy to threaten, naturally cannot have many fortification. 地处波兰平原波兹南和地理位置险要扯不上关系,作为内陆腹心城市,波兹南不需要考虑外敌威胁,自然不会有多少防御工事。 Superficially, should be attacked and captured very much easily. In fact just the opposite, the Russia's eighth army main force withdraws in the city, to defend a city also the people urban district caught up completely. 表面上来看,应该很容易被攻克。实际上恰恰相反,俄第八军主力龟缩在城中,为了守城还将市区的民众全部赶了出来。 If in the later generation, this perhaps is a good deed, means that general army does not need to care about the civilian casualty, can unshackle to go all out. 如果在后世的话,这或许是一件好事,意味着普军不必顾及平民伤亡,可以放开手脚大干一场。 This times were different, the might of artillery is limited, wants to destroy a city, needs to spend large number of ammunition and time. 这个年代就不一样了,火炮的威力有限,想要摧毁一座城市,需要消耗大量的弹药和时间。 In order to let Warsaw Garrison troops dragging time as far as possible, general army evacuates left behind large number of artillery ammunition, the ammunition that they carry along are not many. 为了让华沙守军尽可能的拖延时间,普军撤离的时候留下了大量的火炮弹药,他们随身携带的弹药并不多。 Even if can make the home deliver the commodity to come is not good, the Russia person clarified must fight the street fighting, this was not one day two days can finish, general army enough time has not consumed here. 就算是能够让国内送物资过来也不行,俄国人摆明了要打巷战,这不是一天两天就能够结束的,普军没有足够的时间耗在这里。 The Berlin government issued orders repeatedly, ordered them to return a bit faster, solves that soon to project on the Berlin Russian force. 柏林政府三令五申,责令他们快点儿返回,解决那支快要打到柏林脚下的俄军。 As for the Poznan battlefield, is the military is still trying hard. In the Berlin government most people think does not beat the Russia person, but how to maintain the strength, in order to negotiate with the Russia person, strove for a dignified result. 至于波兹南战场,也就是军方还在努力。柏林政府中大部分人想的已经不是击败俄国人,而是如何保存实力,以便和俄国人谈判,争取一个体面的结局。 This is the European convention, lost the war to negotiate, the mosts of the time ceded territory and paid indemnities, extinguish the country to happen generally rarely. 这是欧洲惯例,打输了战争就谈判,大部分时候都是割地赔款,灭国一般很少发生。 The politicians are clear, now does not think the strength that they drop down was strong, how long big powers quick involvement cannot want to mediate, so long as general army main force still, them had the opportunity of bargaining. 政客们非常清楚,现在不想他们倒下的力量有多么强大,要不了多久列强很快介入调停,只要普军主力犹在,他们就有讨价还价的机会。 Not is only the domestic urging, in the battlefield leaves general Jun's time is not many, the reinforcements of Russia person are catching up continuously. 不光是国内的催促,战场上留给普军的时间也不多了,俄国人的援兵正在源源不断的赶来。 An operational staff introduced: „ The present situation is obvious, Russia's ninth army from Poznan, be only a day of distance, wants to regain the Poznan area, then we need heavy losses or eat them. 一名作战参谋介绍道:“现在的局势非常明显,俄第九军距离波兹南只有一天的路程,想要收复波兹南地区,那么我们就有必要重创或者是吃掉他们。 The Russia's ninth army total military strength approximately about 200,000, wants to beat them is not perhaps difficult, but wants to eat them, that is not the short time can accomplish. 俄第九军总兵力大约在二十万左右,想要击败他们或许不难,可是想要吃掉他们,那就不是短时间能够办到的。 From the information of detection, unusual is discrete, the sneak attack that Russia's ninth army display ambushes the possibility without realized. 从侦查的情报来看,俄第九军表现的非常谨慎,无论是偷袭还是伏击都没有实现的可能。 Let alone, has Russia's 11 th army and Russia's 17 th army in their behind, now had picked up the marching speed, month will arrive in the frontline most mostly from now on. 更何况,在他们的后面还有俄第十一军和俄第十七军,现在已经加快了行军速度,最多半个月过后会抵达前线。 We must regain Poznan, must catch up before the reinforcements of Russia person arrive completes. Without paying heavy casualties, is almost is impossible to complete. ” 我们要收复波兹南,必须要赶在俄国人的援兵抵达前完成。在不付出重大伤亡的情况下,几乎是不可能完成的。” general army is also a person, even the battle efficiency is stronger, they will also be tired and die. 普军也是人,就算是战斗力更强,他们同样会累、会死。 Swallows 400,000 Russian force, even if can divide them in two places completes, similarly will still pay with the serious casualties. 一口吞下四十万俄军,就算是能够把他们分割在两地完成,同样也会付出惨重的伤亡。 Actually must pay 100,000, is 200,000 losses, this issue no one can reply. 究竟要付出十万、还是二十万的损失,这个问题没有人能够回答上来。 In brief, this weaponry general army, if loses seriously, they want to cope with the following Russian force to be difficult again. 总之,这一仗普军要是损失惨重,他们再想对付后面的俄军就难了。 The Prussia war conducts now, the flavor that quite somewhat the clear/pain man (Han) strive for hegemony, Moltke same front is the successful battle is unceasing with Xiang Yu. 普俄战争进行到现在,颇有几分楚汉争霸的味道,毛奇和项羽一样前面是胜仗不断。 The regrettable successful battle hits many, the number of enemy actually does not reduce instead increases, own soldier has been reducing actually. 遗憾的胜仗打得很多,敌人的数量却不减反增,自己的兵倒是在一直减少。 Fought several successful battles again, Moltke must not have the soldier available. Such strange matter, is really speechless. 再打几次胜仗,毛奇就要无兵可用了。这么诡异的事情,实在是令人无语。 A middle-aged military officer refuted: „ This weaponry must hit, if we such dingy going back, is not only the morale suffers setbacks, the Pole in Warsaw area will perhaps surrender to the Russia person directly. 一名中年军官反驳道:“这场仗必须要打,如果我们就这么灰溜溜的回去,不光是军心士气受挫,华沙地区的波兰人恐怕会直接向俄国人投降。 Now we need successfully to fill people with enthusiasm, must let the hope that the people see to win, otherwise this war has no way to continue. ” 现在我们需要胜利振奋人心,必须要让民众看到获胜的希望,要不然这场战争根本就没法继续。” People most important is hopefully, clear(ly) knows the war that is doomed to be defeated perhaps, no one is willing to continue. 人最重要的就是要有希望,明知道注定失败的战争,恐怕谁都不愿意继续下去。 Warsaw is the capital of Kingdom of Poland, the Berlin government can accept the Warsaw area to fall to the enemy, is actually not able to accept the Pole to surrender, this inside political significance was extremely vital, is equivalent shook federation dominant foundation. 华沙是波兰王国的首都,柏林政府可以接受华沙地区沦陷,却无法接受波兰人投降,这里面的政治意义太过重要,相当于动摇了普波联邦的统治基础。 Perhaps in average person opinion, this war must lose in any case, the area that being doomed to discard, why cares! 或许在普通人看来,反正这场战争都要输了,注定要丢掉的地区,何必在乎呢! Politically definitely cannot do, the Prussia war is still continuing, the Berlin government also needs the Pole to work oneself to death to them, so that better attack Russia person. 政治上肯定不能这么干,普俄战争还在继续,柏林政府还需要波兰人给他们卖命,以便更好的打击俄国人。 Under this situation, the flag of federation cannot lose. Threw this flag, the Berlin government lost to the legal basis of Polish area rule, is willing the working oneself to death person definitely greatly to reduce. 在这种背景下,普波联邦的旗帜就不能丢。丢了这面大旗,柏林政府就丧失了对波兰地区统治的法理基础,肯卖命人肯定会大幅度减少。 The Berlin government is willing to make an exception to make the military cut off the Warsaw area, what is most essential is the war party influence in army is stronger, they not easily and Russia person will compromise. 柏林政府肯破例让军方截止华沙地区,最关键的还是军队中的主战派势力更强,他们不会轻易和俄国人妥协。 Moltke waves, stopped the quarrel: „ This campaign must certainly hit, but wants the selectivity to hit. 毛奇挥了挥手,制止了争吵:“这场战役肯定是要打的,不过要选择性打。 Withdraws Russia's eighth army in city, we do not have the time to accompany them to consume, Russia's ninth army that but delivers must wipe out. 龟缩在城内的俄第八军,我们没有时间陪他们耗,但是送上门来的俄第九军必须要打掉。 Otherwise as soon as we draw back, they in the eighth army with city will join forces, the reinforcements that in addition behind catches up with, the Russian force total military strength will approach 800,000, this threat was too big. 要不然我们一退,他们就会和城内的第八军会师,再加上后面赶来的援军,俄军总兵力将逼近八十万,这个威胁太大了。 Although the home completed the mobilization, but we also lack the time to reorganize the army, wipes out Russia's ninth army, reinforcements that causes heavy losses to the enemy, we at least can strive for two months. ” 国内虽然完成了动员,但我们还缺乏时间整编部队,打掉俄第九军,重创敌人的援军,我们至少可以争取两个月的时间。” The battlefield last time is the life, two months naturally cannot make federation restore to the peak, but at least can obtain strength of the wrestling. 战场上时间就是生命,两个月时间自然不能让普波联邦恢复到巅峰时期,但至少可以获得一搏之力。 Different with the ordinary military officer, Moltke thinks many. The brutal reality told him, decided war result not only won a battle, what were more was the comprehensive national strength. 和普通军官不一样,毛奇想得更多。残酷的现实告诉他,决定战争胜负的不仅仅只是打胜仗,更多的还是综合国力。 Ivanov took a class to him with practical action, so long as the national strength is powerful, military to be many enough enough, did not fear that in the battlefield loses a battle. 伊万诺夫用实际行动给他上了一课,只要国力足够强大、兵力足够多,就不怕战场上打败仗。 The war wants the deceased person, the defeat can exhauste the strength of enemy similarly, in the battlefield first wins is not wins, the final winner is a victor. 战争是要死人的,败仗同样可以消耗敌人的实力,战场上先赢不算赢,最后的赢家才是胜利者。 ...... …… On December 12 , 1880, the London government sent out the peace to summon to Prussia both countries, met the positive response of Berlin government, was actually denied entrance in the Tsar government. 1880年12月12日,伦敦政府向普俄两国发出和平号召,得到了柏林政府的积极响应,却在沙皇政府吃了闭门羹。 The war conducts now, does not want to stop to stop. For the Tsar government this war paid were too many, saw the dawn of victory with great difficulty, at this time gave up, the war damage who paid? 战争进行到现在,已经不是想停就能够停下来了。沙皇政府为了这次战争付出了太多,好不容易看到了胜利的曙光,这个时候罢手,战争损失谁来买单? The Russia person did not show due respect for the feelings the behavior naturally to anger the London government, did not wait for them to take action, spread the news that Warsaw fell to the enemy, Prussia war thoroughly clarification. 俄国人不给面子的行为自然是惹怒了伦敦政府,不等他们采取行动,又传来了华沙沦陷的消息,普俄战争彻底明朗化。 After general army main force evacuates, the situation in Warsaw area on crisis. Although the Pole resists unusual is tenacious, still cannot make up for the disparity in strength. 普军主力撤离后,华沙地区的局势就危机了起来。尽管波兰人抵抗的非常顽强,仍然不能弥补实力上的差距。 Resisting for a month later, was torn to pieces the defense line to storm into the city by the Russia person, now is conducting the street fighting. 在抵抗了一个月后,还是被俄国人撕破了防线攻入了城中,现在正在进行巷战。 The following matter is unimportant, who knows that the Warsaw battlefield has been unable to save the situation. The peripheral area falls to the enemy, cannot wait for the reinforcements, the garrison troops destruction in city is only the time issue. 后面的事情已经不重要了,谁都知道华沙战场已经无力回天。周边的地区都沦陷的,等不到援军,城内的守军覆灭只是时间问题。 The broken city starting from, everyone tacitly approves Warsaw to exchange ownerships at that moment. 破城那一刻开始,大家就默认华沙易主。 The Warsaw area falls to the enemy, means the Kingdom of Poland to fall to the enemy, general army main force has evacuated, the influence on military still in the controllable range, the political influence must greatly. 华沙地区沦陷,也意味着波兰王国沦陷,普军主力已经撤离,军事上的影响还在可控范围之内,政治上的影响就大得去了。 This means federation that is once celebrated disintegrates, the Prussia kingdom that only remains could not have haunched the great power status, the Russia person will not give them the opportunity. 这意味着显赫一时的普波联邦土崩瓦解,仅剩的普鲁士王国还撑不起大国地位,俄国人也不会给他们机会。 Under the situation, the performance of Moltke in Poznan area was common, even caused heavy losses to Russia's ninth army, has not changed dispirited in battlefield slightly. 在大势之下,毛奇在波兹南地区的表现就不起眼了,即便是重创了俄第九军,也丝毫没有改变战场上的颓废。 ...... …… St. Petersburg, Alexander II is holding the glee feast in Winter Palace. 圣彼得堡,亚历山大二世正在冬宫中举行庆功宴。 The war conducts now, Prussia both countries hit tired, but the difference was: Federation has suffocated, but Russian Empire is exhausted, but can also insist a while again. 战争进行到现在,普俄两国都打累了,只是区别在于:普波联邦已经奄奄一息,而俄罗斯帝国只是疲惫,还能够再坚持一会儿。 With returns to St. Petersburg to be different previous time, this Ivanov received the most grand welcome of Tsar government, as if overnight his personal connection good, becomes the bustling place. 和上一次回到圣彼得堡不一样,这回伊万诺夫受到了沙皇政府的最隆重欢迎,仿佛一夜之间他的人缘就好了起来,变得门庭若市。 Does not have the thoughts to pay attention to these tedious matters, rested for night in home, Ivanov walked into the royal palace again, reports the following combat plan to Alexander II. 没有心思理会这些繁琐事,在家中休息了一夜,伊万诺夫再次步入了王宫中,向亚历山大二世汇报接下来的作战计划。 ...... …… Alexander II has doubts saying: Marshal, you determine have not made a mistake, at this time did not take advantage to win the pursuit, wants the recuperation army?” 亚历山大二世疑惑道:“元帅,你确定没有弄错,这个时候不趁胜追击,要休整部队?” Ivanov's affirmative reply: „ Your majesty, the war conducts now, our soldiers in high-intensity have battled, already very exhausted. 伊万诺夫肯定的回答道:“陛下,战争进行到现在,我们的士兵一直都在高强度作战,已经非常的疲惫。 Especially the principal force, the personnel losses are serious, want to restore the battle efficiency, must conduct the recuperation. Now the enemy suffered the heavy losses, is the best time of our recuperation army. ” 尤其是主力部队,很多都减员严重,想要恢复战斗力,必须要进行休整。现在敌人遭受了重创,正是我们休整部队的最佳时间。” Alexander II questioned: But we called a halt at this time, will leave behind the opportunity of respite to the enemy, increased the following war difficulty.” 亚历山大二世质疑道:“可是我们在这个时候停手,会给敌人留下喘息之机,增加接下来的战争难度。” Ivanov explained: „ This does not affect the victory of war, federation is not our opponents, only the remaining Prussia kingdoms are not our opponents. 伊万诺夫解释道:“这不影响战争的胜利,普波联邦都不是我们的对手,仅剩下的普鲁士王国就更不是我们的对手。 The war conducts now, the soldier casualties of federation have surpassed 3 million, only died in battle the population to reach as high as 1 million, the soldiers from Prussia kingdom accounts for half. 战争进行到现在,普波联邦的士兵伤亡已经超过了三百万,仅阵亡人数就高达一百万,其中来自普鲁士王国的士兵占一半。 Regardless how the Berlin government thinks, they could not hit. The soldier who the enemies mobilize now, the quality has dropped significantly. Even if restored the military, the battle efficiency will still drop a big truncation. 不论柏林政府怎么想,他们都打不下去了。敌人现在动员起来的士兵,质量已经大幅度下降。就算是恢复了兵力,战斗力也会下降一大截。 Now we do not need to continue adventure, lets the army recuperation after a month, concentrates over a million armies together to the enemy to press, the odds of success be much higher than the present. ” 现在我们没必要继续冒险,让部队休整一个月过后,集中上百万大军一起向敌人压过去,胜算要比现在高得多。” The different people said the incoming call component to be different, after regaining Lithuania and Polish area, Ivanov star image has taken root in the people mind. 不同的人说出来话份量是不一样的,收复了立陶宛、波兰地区后,伊万诺夫的“名将”形象已经扎根在了众人脑海中。 Only regrettable is Ivanov resorts to arms the consumption to be very big, in victory back, always along with massive commodity consumptions and personnel casualty. 唯一令人遗憾的就是伊万诺夫用兵消耗很大,在胜利的背后,总是伴随着大量的物资消耗和人员伤亡。 However this was harmless, had the lesson of previous Prussia war, patient of Alexander II, Ivanov this steady military officer was his most loves. 不过这都无伤大雅,有了上一次普俄战争的教训,亚历山大二世的耐心强了很多,伊万诺夫这种稳健型将领正是他的最爱。 After hesitant a while, Alexander II made decided: „ Good, first lets army recuperation one month. 犹豫了一会儿后,亚历山大二世做出了决定:“那好吧,先让部队休整一个月。 However my marshal, must quickly end the war. The time drags longer more, is easier to have the accident. 不过我的元帅,还是要尽快结束战争。时间拖得越长,越容易发生变故。 Just we rejected English's mediation, then they will perhaps not give up, if the big powers exerted pressure on us together, how long the government could not insist. 刚刚我们才拒绝了英国人的调停,接下来他们恐怕不会善罢甘休,如果列强一起向我们施压,政府是坚持不了多久的。 The finance of government is also bad, delaying the time to be long, we might go bankrupt. ” 况且,政府的财政也非常糟糕,拖得时间太长,我们很可能会破产的。” Will not possibly go bankrupt, is doomed to go bankrupt. The Berlin government is also a poor wretch, wants to attain the war indemnity from their hands, is impossible. 不是可能会破产,是注定会破产。柏林政府也是穷光蛋,想要从他们手中拿到战争赔款,根本就不可能。 For this war, the Tsar government has owed the large amount of debt, the light interest is astronomical figures. Poland and Lithuanian that area just regained, must spend the huge fund reconstruction after the war. 为了这场战争,沙皇政府已经欠下了巨额的债务,光利息都是一笔天文数字。刚刚收复的波兰、立陶宛地区,战后还要花费巨额资金重建。 From the beginning, Alexander II completes the mental preparation that the finance went bankrupt. The callow rookie has become an old pro, has experienced one time, he does not care comes again one time. 从一开始,亚历山大二世就做好了财政破产的思想准备。一回生二回熟,都经历过一次了,他也不在乎再来一次。 It is a pity that this difference, most foreign loans have the mortgage, without the means repudiates a debt directly. Only if has no recourse, the Tsar government will not make the finance go bankrupt. 遗憾的是这次不一样,大部分外债都是有抵押的,没有办法直接赖账。除非是迫不得已,沙皇政府是不会让财政破产的。 Ivanov's awkward nod, he really does not know how should meet this issue. The guarantee ended the war ahead of time, was sorry that this is the not possible matter. 伊万诺夫尴尬的点了点头,他实在是不知道该怎么接这个问题。保证提前结束战争,抱歉这是不可能的事情。 The war is not the child's play, he said can it be that ahead of time finished can finish. This matter cannot pledge randomly, if affected the judgment of government, but consequence disastrous. 战争又不是儿戏,岂是他说提前结束就能够结束的。这种事情可不是能够乱承诺的,万一影响了政府的判断,后果可是灾难性的。 Can refer specifically roundly, takes five years of binhlieu the myth strategy tricks Emperor, not only the pit died oneself, but also made contact with Ming dynasty's national destiny. 具体可以参考“圆嘟嘟”,拿着“五年平辽”的神话战略忽悠皇帝,不仅坑死了自己,还搭上大明王朝的国运。 Matter that the fiscal issue not to mention, the government did not handle, his soldier was blurrier. Had Ivanov of self-knowledge, to vision that Alexander II anticipated, selective disregarding. 财政问题就更不用说了,政府都搞不定的事情,他这个军人就更迷糊了。有自知之明的伊万诺夫,对亚历山大二世期待的目光,选择性的无视。
