The Second Reich: Beginning with the Prince of Prussia

The course of the war was almost identical to Mackensen's previous prediction in the wargames, and the woolly bear still did not take the fortress after storming Constantinople for ten days.

On the contrary, they themselves paid a very heavy price, in the past ten days, the woolly bear army suffered heavy casualties, a total of more than 50,000 soldiers killed, and more than 70,000 soldiers were wounded.

On average, 12,000 casualties were killed and wounded in a day, which shows the severity of this battle!

On the defender's side, although the casualties of the British army and the Ottomans were not low, they were still much better than the woolly bears~ .

Among them, the British army lost 12,000 killed and 10,000-70,000 wounded.

The Ottomans lost 18,000 killed and wounded more than 30,000.

Combined, their casualties totaled 77,000!

Ten days later, with heavy casualties on both sides, and the offensive on the Woolly Bear's side was unsustainable, the situation in the Balkans was temporarily scorched.

On the other side, in the Kronstadt direction, after five days of siege by the Russians, the British began to attack them.

The Russian army's food and fresh water were almost consumed, and the soldiers were hungry and fought fiercely with the British troops who landed under the heavy artillery fire of the British fleet.

At one point, the beachhead changed hands repeatedly, the blood of soldiers on both sides stained the nearby coast red, and the fish killed by the explosion even covered the entire beach!

Because the access from land to sea had been cut off by the British, the Russian army in Kronstadt could not receive support and supplies.

After three days of such a tug-of-war, they finally couldn't hold it anymore.

On the eighth day, the British finally managed to gain a foothold on the beachhead.

Subsequently, a large number of British troops began to land in a steady stream, and the Russian troops on Kronstadt began to retreat.

On the ninth day, the British had taken control of most of Kronstadt, and the Russian army was trapped in a very small number of positions, such as batteries.

On the tenth day, the Russian troops on the battery had been completely wiped out, and the sun had completely set on Kronstadt.

At this point, the battle of Kronstadt, which lasted for ten days, was over, the western gate of St. Peter's was completely opened, and the sun never set on the attack on St. Peter's city.

It was also on the day of the fall of Kronstadt that the woolly bears stopped their assault on Constantinople.

The sun never sets and people are very tacit outside the city of St. Peter, but they did not bombard the largest city with hairy bears.

"It seems that the war is coming to an end!"

Seeing this, Bismarck sighed and said to Andrews.

"Well, the hairy bears should be withdrawing!"

St. Peter's is almost as important to Constantinople as Constantinople.

If the Russian army can take Constantinople in the Balkans, then it will be worth it for the woolly bear, even if St. Peter's is bombed into ruins.

But the problem is that the Russian army did not perform well in the Battle of Constantinople and failed to take it within the stipulated time.

This caused this exchange to become very disadvantageous to the furry bears, after all, they did not get Constantinople, but they had to bear the price of the destruction of St. Peter's city, such an exchange, the furry bears naturally would not agree.

"The Furry Bears won't be reconciled, especially since they are only one last step away from taking Constantinople!"

Andrews said with certainty that this time the Furry Bears were closer to success than any of the 10,000 attempts.

If the navy was so strong that they could only attack from the west, and could not launch a three-way attack across the Golden Horn from the north and the sea from the east, as expected, Constantinople would have been replaced by the tricolor of the Woolly Bears.

"Yes, the last step fell short, and it paid such a huge price, no one would be reconciled!"

Bismarck smiled and shook his head, the tsar was really a little anxious this time.

He had endured it for so long before, why couldn't he help it this time?

If he doesn't make an easy move this time and continues to reform the inside of the woolly bear according to his original strategy, the strength of the hairy bear will only become stronger and stronger.

At that time, even if the sun does not set, their chances of success will be much greater than now.

But now, because of impulsiveness, the army has buried more than 100,000 people, and the Baltic Fleet and the Black Sea Fleet, which have been built so hard, have been wiped out.

Such a loss can be called a loss for the lady and the army.

"Hehe, that's a good thing!"

Andrews said with a smile on his face: "If the sun doesn't set to stop it, I'm afraid the woolly bear people have succeeded."

Therefore, they will definitely hold a grudge in their hearts.

Under this kind of hatred, if the two countries want to form an alliance in the future, I am afraid that it will be much more difficult.

Moreover, this battle is a huge drain on the national strength of both sides.

On the other hand, not only did we not get involved, but we even made a lot of money by selling them a lot of arms.

Under the advantages of the other, the comparison of our strength with them has changed a lot.

We're getting stronger, and we're getting weaker![]

If we had a fight on both sides of the day, this would have been the best outcome for us!"

Bismarck nodded thoughtfully, this time the two countries suddenly went to war, and the Second Reich did eat a lot of war dividends.

It's a pity that the war between the two countries was too short, less than 2 months before and after.

If they had been fighting for a little longer, the gains on the Empire's side would have been even greater!

"This is not necessarily, although it is said that when the two countries are at war, our weapons will be sold very well, but after the war is over, we may not be able to gain less from diplomacy than from selling weapons!

And who said that without war, weapons cannot be sold?

I am afraid that after this war, both countries will recognize their respective weaknesses and continue to increase their efforts to procure weapons to make up for their shortcomings.

The two naval fleets of the Furry Bears were wiped out, and they were unable to take Constantinople because their navy was weaker than their opponents.

This will make the Furry Bears more aware of the importance of navies, and they will definitely want to rebuild both navies.

At this time, wouldn't our warship have another big customer?"

Hearing Andrews's words, Bismarck was also relieved.

Indeed, by taking advantage of the aftermath of the war between the two countries, they can further sow discord between the two countries and create greater hatred for them.

As long as the contradictions between the two countries can be expanded, and the time for their alliance can be delayed, it will be the greatest strategic benefit for the empire.

As for the arms deal that His Majesty the Emperor said, Bismarck hadn't thought of these things before, but seeing Andrews's confident look, Bismarck felt that the Emperor must have calculated all this a long time ago!

Sure enough, this disciple of his is better than the blue, and compared to him, the emperor is more suitable to use the four words of old scheming to describe the spoon!.
