In Warsaw city, Russian Northwestern Front Army's headquarters.
Since Russian 1st Army Corps and 2nd Army Corps were nearly wiped out, General Commander of the Russian Northwestern Front Army Ivan? Gylinski was very worried, fearing that Tsar Nicholas II would directly order his arrest and hang him. However, as several days passed, Tsar Nicholas II did not issue such an order, which made General Ivan? Gylinski feel relieved at the same time. After all, no one wants to die.
It was not until later that Nicholas II's order was issued that he only scolded General Ivan? Gylinski but did not remove him from his position as Northwest Front Commander. At the same time, two armies were dispatched to reinforce Kingdom of Poland, under the command of the Northwestern Front Army. This made General Ivan? Gylinski burst into tears of gratitude. Among the Telegram sent to Nicholas II, he even stated that he would definitely defend Kingdom of Poland. If he can't keep it, he will commit suicide or apologize.
After Nicholas II read the Telegram sent by General Ivan? Gylinski, he threw it aside and ignored it. It's not that he doesn't want to convict General Ivan? Gylinski, but he really can't find a suitable candidate to replace General Ivan? Gylinski. General Ivan? Gylinski had served as Chief of General Staff Russian Army. The other generals had to give him more or less respect. If it were anyone else, I'm afraid they wouldn't be able to command those arrogant and powerful generals right away.
The other Russian generals seemed to have no intention to Kingdom of Poland take over this mess. In fact, they all know that the situation at Kingdom of Poland is already very tense. After German military won the victory at East Prussia, the next step must be to attack Kingdom of Poland. Since Commander is Northwestern Front Army, he has to fight against the powerful German military. With the precedent of the Northwestern Front Army, everyone is afraid that they will become the next target of Germany. In that case, the consequences would be very serious. If it doesn't work well, you may even lose your life. Therefore, General Ivan? Gylinski was able to escape and continue to sit in his current position.
"General Letsky and General Krapovich, when will they arrive at Warsaw?" General Ivan? Gylinski looked very anxious. Now, German military has arrived at Warsaw, but the Russian reinforcements have not yet arrived. If German military launches an attack, how can such a small amount of Russian troops in Warsaw city be able to defend it. After East Prussia failed in two battles, leading to the destruction of 1st Army Corps and 2nd Army Corps, General Ivan? Gylinski had already developed a fear of German military.
"General, 9th Army Corps is still at Lublin, and Guard 2nd Army Corps just set off from Białystok." the staff officer reported.
"Asshole! Didn't they already report yesterday that they were heading towards Warsaw? Why are they still on the way now?" General Ivan? Gylinski was furious.
If the reinforcements could not arrive Warsaw in one day, he would not be able to rest assured. I'm afraid German military will attack. Once he cannot defend Warsaw, his end will undoubtedly be very tragic.
"General, German artillery is preparing. It looks like he is about to launch an artillery attack on Warsaw." Suddenly, an officer rushed into the headquarters and reported to General Ivan? Gylinski.
"Damn it!" General Ivan? Gylinski couldn't help but curse.
"Boom! Boom!"
Suddenly, continuous explosions sounded in the city, and buildings one after another were destroyed under the bombardment of German military. The residents of Warsaw city had escaped long before German military launched the attack. For these civilians, German military did not stop them. Now, almost all the people left in Warsaw city are Russian troops. Therefore, German military can fire unscrupulously.
"Boom!" A shell exploded not far from the Russian army's headquarters. This made the expression on Ivan? Gylinski even more ugly.
"Send Telegram to 9th Army Corps and Guard 2nd Army Corps and tell them that they must arrive at Warsaw within three days. Otherwise, I will make them disobey. The disrespectful situation was reported to His Majesty the Tsar. I want to see if they can bear the responsibility of defeat," General Ivan? Gylinski said with a gloomy expression.
He was clearly going rogue. If the responsibility for the defeat can be placed on General Letsky and General Krapovitch, then he can take the opportunity to escape. As for the consequences of this, I'm afraid it's not something he has considered.
"Yes, general." Communications Officer immediately went to send Telegram.
In the opinion of General Ivan? Gylinski, the reason why General Letsky and General Krapovitch were so slow on the road was because they wanted to trouble him. Once Warsaw falls and Kingdom of Poland perishes, Tsar Nicholas II will definitely not let him go. Therefore, he must try his best to save his life. If the two of them still disobey the order, then even if he dies, he will pull the two of them to support him.
"Two armies, 400,000 people, and one of them is an elite Guards Army. No matter how strong the Germany people are, there is absolutely no problem in defending Warsaw!" said General Ivan? Gylinski.
"Yes, General. The Germany people are indeed very powerful in combat, but Guard 2nd Army Corps are also well-equipped and fiercely fighting troops. Even in the field, they cannot defeat the Germany people. But in terms of defense, It's enough to turn Warsaw into a fortress. Even the chariot troops of Germany people can't defeat us," Russian 2nd Army Corps Commander General Samsonov said.
After 2nd Army Corps was surrounded and annihilated, General Samsonov, who was Commander, had better luck and successfully escaped. However, after escaping back to Warsaw, he almost became a polished commander. However, he has a close relationship with General Ivan? Gylinski, so he still has a place in the northwest Area Army Headquarters. Of course, the reason why Tsar Nicholas II did not deal with him was because he did not betray Russian Empire under desperate circumstances, unlike General Leiningen-Kempf who immediately surrendered to Germany. In comparison, he was pretty good. Therefore, Nicholas II let him go.
Of course, this is just to let them go temporarily. If the Russian army was defeated miserably in Kingdom of Poland, the angry Tsar Nicholas II would definitely send them all to the gallows. Tsar Nicholas II, but never show mercy to those losers.
