Teuton vs Slav Part 1
Posted: Tue Jan 08, 2008 1:00 am
While having Brunch with some of the Best Leaders in the Empire, Moltke discussed the obvious Choices, one is a knockout blow to France... In a modified Schlieffen plan, but the resources did not exist to do quite what was layed down earlier the previous decade. Another option, which Moltke favored was to face the well known, inferior Tsarist Russians. The Slavic Race was known to be inferior for many decades to that of the German stock, and with Austro-Hungary on the side of the CP there should be little issue in establishing a strong foothold on the Food Rich Resources of the Ukraine which could feed the German People for years. Also this would free up the Baltic States and Germany could lay down a Puppet Regime in Poland portraying to the World the Peaceloving Generosity of the German Empire! Anyways it's not as if the Russians could hold more than a Season or two against the Might of the German Armed Forces! [>:]
Regardless, with the entirety of the German Army at his disposal, the Chief of Staff would show his plan in action, and of course prove what he knew in his heart to be true.
1914:
Germany deployed in Eastern Prussia large Detachments of German Troops and another contingent Facing South toward Warsaw. Nearly 80% of the German Military faces East with the entirety of the Austro-Hungarian, aside from a small force to occuppy Northern Serbia...
Breaking out with a haste, no Calvary Screens and few road blocks the German Army as predicted marches through Poland unopposed until reaching Warsaw, into 1915 nearly surrounding it entirely capturing every Minor city along the way ... Smashing it with Big Bertha and numerous other Siege Guns the city holds, even with the Russians facing encirclement holding firmly onto Brest-Litovsk to avoid this. Meanwhile the AH Forces penetrate deeply into the Ukraine and Belorus only to be stopped cold outside of Brest-Litovsk and near the gateway to the Grain Rich Plains in the South near Rowno... The Russians headbutt every AH attempt to Crush them, digging in with their pesky Infantry Corps, tons and tons of them, never choosing to fight merely retreat and go around the Hordes facing them. So Far the Russian Cannons are fairly silent but they've withheld endless Barrages, hundreds of thousands of dead. The Prediction of Moltke, was false... Soon dismissed and replaced with more a competent and aggressive leader.
Regardless 1915:
the General Staff claims that Riga and Petrograd must be taken, the gateway to a Russian Collapse must be done upon the Key Factories and Leadership of the Russian Empire is here... Not only to damage the Russian Economy but to collapse their Morale. Certainly a Victory would do this? German Forces drive deep into the Baltics, Besieging Riga, tearing the Fortress to shreads, leaving nothing behind them... This is where the Russians will make a stand finally against their much despised adversary. This was not like Poland nor like Memel. Substantial Russian Reserves appear out of nowhere and begin to push on the fringes of the German Lines, straining them to near exhaustion. Dvinsk brings up more reserves that expected so an all out assualt is Ordered upon Riga, Simultaneously Warsaw which has also been leved is assaulted in an all out attempt to clench a victory like a desperate soldiers thirst in the Desert. However both are repulsed by the Brave Russian Steppe Soldiers. Little can be done, it appears that the Russians have taking Trench digging Techniques from the British and have used the Rubble created by German Guns to hide and ambush any attempts to concede an inch of valued soil, it's Blood for Acres sort of Situation... Though The German and Austrian Lines are Bolstered as Now AH is Semi Threatened and no immediate gains are seen, though the Generals are hopeful that the Russians are weary... but none of this is certain and any further advances could be at the cost of their own encircelement, the Russians employ now a very vast Army... Recon is impossible on such a vast Frontier
Meanwhile on Other Fronts:
The French are attempting to breakout in every way possible, Luxembourgh was seized and the line was entrenched with both France and Italy, reserves that were badly required in the East were forced to Bolster these defenses. These and the failure at Jutland to win a victory and in fact to lose half of the Kriegsmarine are blamed on the Leadership not the fighting men why no actual headway can be made to bring this bloody conflict to a final conclusion. Despite the poor leadership.. Several Victories were achieved, where 120 thousand Brave French Soldiers were cut off attempting to breakout into Northern Germany..... and were forced to surrender and deathmarched to Berlin paraded their part in this war of aggression! Every attempt for the French to assualt the German lines has ended in endless casaulties... Though French Guns and British Reinforcements look to change the tide of things but so far the bravery and heroism of the German Fighting Soldat has showed no mercy to the poorly trained and poorly equipped French Army.
So far the Ottoman Empire has been a modest aide, and the Pesky Serbians have fought harder than the French!
Regardless The Endless Economic Powerhouse of the Entente has weilded both diplomatically and industrially a Power that the CP Cannot easily Resist. Endless Diplomatic Pressure upon Italy,Bulgaria, Romania and have forced the hand of the CP Leaders and any attempt to trade or fight the British at sea has been a absymal failure leaving only one option to the total and utter destruction and annihilation of Tsarist Russia! The Kaiser disowns any blood relation to the Royalty of Russia, if it could be called that, a state of Slavery and Poverty. Why would such a People Fight so Willingly for their own demise, hopefully they shall see the Light? The German Empire shall Free them of their shackles for once and for all! Then Turn on the French and their Allies!!!
