The occupation of Szczecin is undoubtedly a good move. The Allies' plan before was to fight a big victory in Poland, first deal with Tukhachevsky, and then turn back to deal with East Prussia. Before, they only sent a small number of troops to monitor and contain East Prussia. However, after Szczecin's loss, this kind of surveillance and restraint was meaningless, and even these troops responsible for surveillance and restraint were at risk of being annihilated.

"Order the troops to shrink in the direction of Poznan!"

Foch pinched his forehead speechlessly. The Americans were surrounded by Tukhachevsky and he was very passive. Who would have thought that something went wrong with Szechqing. For the sake of his current plan, he could only order the troops in East Prussia to restrain him from shrinking south.

Foch actually means to let these responsible troops protect the supply lines of the main forces attacking Warsaw. Now he can't stand the supply lines and then have problems.

This way of dealing with it is a typical pursuit of stability. Objectively speaking, it means not seeking merit but not making any mistakes. This is also in line with Foch's psychology at this time. He is not the kind of general who is particularly creative and imaginative. Although the Allies won during his tenure as commander-in-chief, this victory was not exchanged for his outstanding command art.

To be honest, Foch was waiting for this victory, and without him, he could win. It can even be said that the defeat of the German and Austrian group was more due to their internal reasons, because the communist movement and the proletariat gave the German group a blow.

In short, Foch's response seems to ensure the safety of the supply line, but it emptied the surrounding areas of Szczechin and the northeastern part of Germany. In this vast area, the military power of the Allied Powers became a vacuum, and Li Xiaofeng could do whatever he wanted!

For the Albert administration, Foch's approach was very annoying. They finally put down the riots of workers in the country. The damn communist devils who had not yet lived for two days were back, which meant that they had to continue to suppress the bandits and suppress the rebellion and relocate the troops that were still maintaining order near Bavaria to the north.

Not to mention the time-consuming and laborious struggle of going back and forth, once the army goes north, who can guarantee that the remaining power of the Bavarian Communist Party will not rekindle? Even if the north is pacified again, we will continue to turn back to suppress the bandits. This kind of approach is really a traitor!

Of course Albert was unwilling to commit suicide, but the Allies were unreasonable. They ignored the feelings of the Germans. Especially the French, they wanted the Russians to beat Germany up.

I don't know if Foch gave the order above after receiving such a hint. Anyway, he made the Germans very unhappy and dissatisfied, which made the upcoming Treaty of Versailles more variables in the ground. The negotiations that could have been completed in October were delayed again.

Of course, it is only a matter of time for the Germans to sign a contract. They just use this opportunity to express some demands and try their best to protect their face.

However, it cannot save much face. Anyway, the Allies did not intend to care about the lives and death of the Germans, so they directly told the Germans: "You can find a way to solve the problem for the Russians. That's your own business!"

So the hard-working German team had to go north from Bavaria and travel across Germany to put out the fire. Even Li Xiaofeng did not expect that this move was so effective. Just occupying Szechin made Germany completely confused.

Some comrades may say that this is nonsense? Isn’t it just a process of mobilizing the army, so how can it be chaotic? It’s very simple. The assembly and mobilization of a large number of troops requires the support of transportation routes. At this time, the Allied forces were crossing Germany from France to Poland, which occupied the German east-west transportation trunk line. Then the Germans had to mobilize from south to north. Can these two trends collide together?

If there is no traffic, chaos will occur, and even more chaos will occur. Anyway, several major transportation hubs in Germany are in a mess, which greatly delays the military mobilization capabilities of Germany and the Allies, and indirectly reduces the pressure on the battle on the front battlefield.

Tukhachevsky's feelings about this were the most obvious. Before Germany was in chaos, the British and French coalition forces were desperately greeting his troops like shells. The powerful firepower made him breathless. He almost used his life to fill in the generals and blocked the offensive of the British and French armies.

Now, Germany is in chaos, and the supply of the British and French is a little unable to keep up, and the fierce artillery fire covers more than half of the time. Although their firepower still has an absolute advantage, the Belarusian front can finally withstand it.

However, being able to withstand does not mean being feeling well. The pressure of the troops is less, but Tukhachevsky's pressure is greater. I have said before that Tukhachevsky is ready to retreat, but now it is difficult for him to retreat.

It's very simple. Before, I had to give up my original battle plan because I couldn't stand it. But now that I can withstand it, there is no excuse to retreat. At least Tukhachevsky didn't know how to speak to Trotsky.

Not only did the military aspect make Tukhachevsky embarrassed, but what was even more difficult is the political aspect. He had already tried his best to ignore political gains and losses. However, Li Xiaofeng suddenly occupied Szczechin and advanced to Germany's land. The Baltic Front and the East Prussian People's Liberation Army were weaker than the Belarusian Front (That's what Tukhachevsky thinks). Even the weak brothers can achieve such great results. Is there no reason to be a "more powerful" Belarusian Front?

If Tukhachevsky could still grit his teeth and bear the negative political impact before, after Li Xiaofeng occupied Szczechin, his retreat could be said to be blocked. For example, Trotsky urged him at the first time: "The Baltic Front achieved great results, fundamentally revealing the prelude to the victory of the World Revolution. I hope you can continue to fight a great victory in Warsaw and play the music of the revolutionary climax with a refreshing victory!"

Well, Tukhachevsky couldn't retreat even if he wanted to withdraw. He had to destroy the Americans, and there was no condition to talk about. Tukhachevsky, who had no way out, immediately made adjustments and drew two divisions from the troops surrounding the Americans to strengthen the aid troops. The losses of the aid troops in the past few days have been too great. If they don't strengthen them, they will really not be able to withstand it.

This adjustment is passive and the disadvantages are quite obvious. Ubolevic said before that the force of the siege of the Americans was just right. What does it mean to be just right? That means that there will be problems if there is less!

Sure enough, after Tukhachevsky drew two divisions, the battle to encircle and annihilate the Americans immediately reached a deadlock. The only seven remaining divisions can only be said to be just enough to surround the Americans, and there is no extra force to launch an attack on the encirclement.

So after Tukhachevsky made the first adjustment, the battlefield was in a stalemate, and the "fat meat" in the encirclement could not swallow it. Although the blocking force resisted, it was still bleeding. It was equivalent to Tukhachevsky's blood loss skill. Once the blood loss reached a certain level, he would collapse!

Tukhachevsky understood why Ubolevic had warned him that he was insufficient in troops before, and he was indeed insufficient in troops. But it was too late to understand now, because he hurriedly launched a battle and threw all the troops he could invest in in one breath, so he had no reserve team available now, and even if he wanted reinforcements in the country, he would take time. Anyway, Tukhachevsky could not count on anything for a while.

On the second day after the first adjustment, he had to find Trotsky: "Comrade Trotsky, we must adjust our military deployment again, the front line is fighting too hard."

Does Trotsky know the situation on the front line? He knows it well. He is very clear about how difficult the situation is in front of him while riding on the front line in an armored train every day to boost morale. However, before Tukhachevsky looked for him, he was still willing to think about the benefits - the brave will win when they meet on a narrow road. Maybe just grit your teeth and get through it!

But Tukhachevsky has now shattered Trotsky's dream - he can't stand it anymore, he must adjust it!

How to adjust the problem? Anyway, Trotsky could not accept retreat, so it would be too embarrassing. Li Xiaofeng led all the weak men to the periphery of Berlin, but he and Tukhachevsky were strong but lost Warsaw. What would the comrades in the party think of him? Will they think that Trotsky is just a verbal gun, and Lenin is the one who can really dominate the world revolution?

Anyway, Trotsky could not accept this result, and he couldn't explain it to his friends, right? Fortunately, Tukhachevsky did make perfect plans this time. He fully took care of Trotsky's emotions and gave a compromise suggestion:

"From the situation on the battlefield, the main problem our army encountered is that its combat effectiveness is insufficient... With our existing troops, it is difficult to eat four American divisions in one go. If we want to win the initiative again, we can only make a fuss about the Americans if we want to open up the situation!"

What article do you do? Don’t we have such a big appetite? Since we can’t eat four divisions in one go, then others will be in a bad mood and swallow the elephant. Be pragmatic, let go of the three divisions surrounded in the north, and concentrate our forces to eat MacArthur’s 42nd Division first!

This principle is actually very simple. There is no need to maintain the encirclement. Naturally, some troops can be drawn and put into the battle to encircle and annihilate the 42nd Division. Wouldn't it be a situation?

It has to be admitted that Tukhachevsky still has two tricks. This adjustment is equivalent to fighting two blocking battles, blocking the British and French forces on the one hand, and blocking the three divisions of Sebert on the other, and then concentrating on eating the Rainbow Division.

It should be said that such adjustments are really good, but after listening to Tukhachevsky's plan, Trotsky's face looked weird. Why? It's embarrassing. The initial combat plan was to annihilate the American soft persimmons first, then turn around and fight the British and French coalition forces. But now it has become a mere 42nd Division. The Lenin faction should mock him for being taller than the sky and thinner than paper.

Anyway, Trotsky is still a joke if he adjusts this way. If he is a beard or Stalin-like leader, Tukhachevsky will probably lose his head if he "fools" things like this. Even if he can save his life, he will be beaten off the official hat. However, Trotsky is not that type of person. He still pays more attention to reality. Under the conditions that the situation does not allow, between face and inside, he will choose inside.

Trotsky nodded with difficulty: "Then let's eat the 42nd Division first!"

Tukhachevsky breathed a sigh of relief. He was really worried that Trotsky would deny his proposal, and that would be done with sincerity. Of course, it can be heard from Trotsky's tone that the second mentor was quite dissatisfied. What does it mean to "eat the 42nd Division first"? It was just that he was dissatisfied with this result, so that Tukhachevsky would create new fighter jets after annihilating the 42nd Division as much as possible.

Tukhachevsky smiled bitterly and said to himself: "It will be a life to eat a 42nd Division. Create a new fighter? Haha. After fighting the 42nd Division, the troops must rest immediately and have no power to fight again."

Of course, Tukhachevsky dared not say these words. If Trotsky disagreed, it would not be a tragedy? It would be a pity. After the 42nd Division was defeated, Trotsky could not object to the actual situation of the troops.

But can Tukhachevsky hide this little calculation from Trotsky? As a human being, Trotsky is very clear about Tukhachevsky's true thoughts. The reason why Trotsky doesn't say it through is also very simple. The first time is not suitable. What should I do if Tukhachevsky feels that the burden is too heavy and gives up? Secondly, this is not suitable for putting too much pressure on Tukhachevsky. The situation is enough to scratch my head and add a burden. Tukhachevsky is too young after all, what should I do if I collapse under heavy pressure?

Of course, Trotsky would not just do whatever he wanted. He was not satisfied with destroying a mere Rainbow Division. But he would not let Tukhachevsky do things that were impossible. He also knew that with the existing military configuration, the next decisive battle would be difficult. So he was going to use Tukhachevsky's time to annihilate the Rainbow Division to "find foreign aid".

What "foreign aid" should I find? In fact, I just ask Lenin for help. Trotsky wrote a letter to Lenin, in which he sincerely reviewed his mistake of underestimating the enemy, and then hoped that Lenin could start from the overall revolutionary situation and let the Ukrainian Front enter Poland to assist the war as soon as possible.

On the one hand, Trotsky also mobilized troops in the name of the Military Commission to allow the Belarusian Front to stay in Belarus and the remaining troops of the Moscow Military Region to assemble to Poland. Although there are not many troops in this part, it is still enough for emergency response.

Of course, Trotsky did not forget the Baltic Front and the East Prussian People's Liberation Army. In his letter to Lenin, he strongly asked Li Xiaofeng and Ubolevich to put more pressure on Berlin and Foch's troops, preferably destroying the supply lines of the Allies.

Lenin was in a difficult position for Trotsky's last request. Yes, it was not a problem for Lenin to let the Ukrainian Front enter Poland early. In order to take the overall situation into consideration, he was willing to cooperate with Trotsky. However, he was in trouble with the Baltic Front.

To be honest, the Baltic Front's actions to capture Szczecin are already quite valuable. They could not draw too many mobile troops and took great risks to stab the German hinterland, which was already quite excellent. Anyway, the Politburo did not expect someone to do so well before.

Now, Trotsky actually asked the Baltic Front to put more pressure on the Baltic Front, which was a bit difficult. After all, the Baltic Front lacked enough troops, and the enemy in Berlin and Poznan are not weak. Moreover, in order to maintain this "lifeline", the Allies will definitely invest at any cost. No matter how you attack here, the risk is too great.

However, Lenin finally agreed to Trotsky's request and said in his latest instructions to Li Xiaofeng: "The more decisive you fight, the more resolute you put on the enemy, the less pressure you put on Comrade Tukhachevsky's pressure, which is beneficial to the overall situation of the revolution. I hope you can continue to work hard and try to restrain more enemies in the Szczechin area. If you can threaten Berlin, even if you just make a threat to Berlin, it will be a great contribution!"

Lenin has already explained that this is to let the Baltic Front go out, otherwise what can threaten Berlin? But Li Xiaofeng really doesn't like this order. Berlin is a bigger hornet's nest than Warsaw. With his troops rushing towards Berlin, he really is a meat bun to beat dogs. Even if it's just a show, the risk is very high.

"We must be cautious whether to go south or west!"

According to the previous plan, after attacking Szczechine, we should advance westward to create greater chaos in the hinterland of Germany. But now the central government ordered them to go south, how should we choose?

Ubolevic and Triandafilov were not speaking. Under the pressure of the central government, they were indeed cautious. There was no way, and Li Xiaofeng could only break the deadlock first: "I personally support the westward advance. Although going south can threaten Berlin, we must see that the enemies around Berlin are very powerful, and the risk of blindly advancing is too great!"

"That's the central government's instructions?" Ubolevic asked back with a wry smile.

Li Xiaofeng pondered for a moment and said, "As the political commissar of the Baltic Front, I must be responsible to the army. If the central government does not understand the actual situation, we have the responsibility and obligation to explain the actual situation to the central government!"

Is this meaningful? Surely no. Because Lenin was not unaware of the actual situation, he had to make certain sacrifices in order to take into account the overall situation. He even strengthened his tone in replying to Li Xiaofeng and issued orders with almost no doubt and discernment.

In this case, Li Xiaofeng had to obey even if he was not happy. But he still had a clever mind to how to obey.

"Isn't it good to do this?" Ubolevic's face turned the same color as the bitter gourd. He was frightened by the idea of ​​a certain immortal's bold Huang Wen. "Once the central government discovers it, then..."

Li Xiaofeng waved his hand and said firmly: "I will bear all responsibilities!" (To be continued, please search for astronomy, novels are better, updated and faster!
