"I need to return to Saint Petersburg to report on my work, so please prepare a special ne for me, and make sure the pilot checks everything thoroughly before takeoff," instructed Alekseyev, Commander-in-Chief of the Russian Southwestern Front Army.


    At present, the situation facing the Southwestern Front Army is quite critical. Alekseyev believes that they cannot sit idly by and wait for doom. At the very least, he needs to make sure the Russian upper echelons understand that even if the Southwestern Front Army fails, it definitely won''t be his fault.


    Given the current state of logistical support and equipment for the Southwestern Front Army, even if Napoleon was still alive, he would be powerless against the Germans'' offensive.


    Alekseyev knows that once he briefs Nichs II on the actual situation at the front, he might be a thorn in the side of the capitalists, and even earn the hatred of the entire Russian logistical departments.


    Nevertheless, he has no choice. If the current plight of the Southwestern Front Army is not made public, Alekseyev will probably be the army''s scapegoat when it is defeated in the future, bearing the failures of the Russian logistics, the upper echelons, and the decadent system on his own.


    One dayter, in Saint Petersburg, Russia.n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om


    "Your Majesty, this is a report on the current logistical situation of our Southwestern Front Army, and ns to strengthen their fighting capacity." Alekseyev nervously hands a document to Nichs II, his gaze fixed and determined.


    Regardless of whether this n will be adopted by Nichs II, it will make enemies with the entire corrupt Russian system.


    The logistical officers, capitalists, and all those who profit from war will regard Alekseyev as an eyesore, a thorn in their flesh.


    Nichs II takes the document, but just reading the first page causes clouds to gather on his face, which ultimately turn into a dark storm cloud.


    ording to the information, since Archduke Nichs resigned, the logistical situation of the Russian Southwestern Front Army has spiraled into an appalling state.


    This makes Nichs II think Alekseyev somewhat implicates him since the new Commander-in-Chief after Archduke Nichs was himself.


    "Is everything in this document true?" asked Nichs II with a gloomy face.


    "Yes, Your Majesty. The entire Southwest Army, with hundreds of thousands of soldiers, hardly has enough weapons and equipment. Even having enough to eat is a problem. Especially recently, the soldiers have grown tired of the dry and hard ck bread and those nutritious coarse grains.


    They urgently need a substantial meat meal to regain their strength and fight the Germans better," Alekseyev immediately replied.


    "ording to the approved logistics supplies for the Southwestern Front Army, isn''t there supposed to be meat twice a week? There''s not even once?" Nichs II asked with some confusion.


    Although Nichs II is not well-versed in military matters, he still understands the simple logic of treating soldiers well from time to time.


    He can''t guarantee more, but securing meat twice a week filled Nichs II with confidence, even signing the logistics purchase orders himself.


    But now, frontline reports state that they haven''t had meat for a long time, and even ordinary grains are missing, only ck bread and coarse grains remain. This leaves Nichs II puzzled and worried, and also somewhat angry.


    "There''s nothing, Your Majesty. Weck both weapons and ammunition, as well as food and medical supplies. If this continues, the Southwestern Front Army will only copse faster, and hungry soldiers won''t be able to withstand those damn Germans," Alekseyev shook his head and responded.


    "Damn it, I''ll handle this, Alekseyev. In three days, the logistical supplies you need will be delivered to the respective armies," Nichs II nodded seemingly calmly, but the clenched fist proved that his mood was far from pleasant.


    "Yes." At this moment, Nichs II was furious, and Alekseyev dared not raise any more questions, lest he drew the emperor''s wrath upon himself.


    After receiving Alekseyev''s response, Nichs II turned his gaze back to the document and continued reading.


    "The n to improve thebat power of the Southwestern Front Army is to purchase more weapons, equipment, and aircraft from Austrsia?" Nichs II asked after some time.


    "Yes, Your Majesty. Considering all factors, Austrsian weapons and equipment are on par with those of Germany. Their ownbat power is far ahead of the German aircraft. If we have more aircraft on the frontlines, we can make up for our disadvantages to some extent.


    This is not my idea, but the final conclusion reached afterprehensive research and analysis by the Southwest Army Staff," Alekseyev replied calmly, not budging.


    It''s true, the situation on the Russian front is exactly like this.


    Armies equipped with Austrsian weapons and equipment are, at the very least, not inferior to the German Army in terms of weapons, equipment, and firepower.


    However, the armies equipped with Russian-made weapons and equipmentg considerably behind the German Army in weapons, equipment, and firepower.


    As for aircraft, Russia does indeed have domestically produced nes. But these nes are mostly produced by small workshops, and their safety performance is not guaranteed.


    In fact, two years ago, some Russian private workshops contacted the military, hoping to sell their aircraft to them.


    At that time, not many countries were researching aircraft, and Russia originally thought they could lead the way. However, Russian nes simply couldn''t withstand practical tests. They tested it three times - two ended in crashing and even the third one was extremely dangerous.
