The great war between the Russian Empire and the Austro-Hungarian and Ottoman Empires attracted the attention of all of Europe and even the world.

Although, the strength of the Russian Empire was significantly stronger than that of Austria-Hungary and the Ottoman Empire. However, these two countries combined are not much inferior to the Russian Empire in terms of strength.

So much so that the Empire of the Sun Never Sets, hiding behind, is already ready to watch several countries fight on the battlefield with rivers of blood, and both are defeated.

However, the next development of the war situation stunned the people who never set, as well as other countries.

The performance of the Russian Imperial Army on the battlefield was completely beyond their expectations.

In the face of the Austro-Hungarian and Ottoman attacks, the Russian Imperial Army easily held the defensive line. And, it doesn’t seem to take much effort.

Instead, it was Austria-Hungary and the Ottoman Empire that paid great losses in the attack.

Such a result made the sun not set people dumbfounded, which is obviously different from their previous expectations!

At the same time, the Imperial Army of Tsarist Russia, equipped with a large number of artillery pieces and Maxim heavy machine guns, also attracted the attention of various countries.

In particular, military powers such as the Sun Never Sets, the Germanic Empire and the Gaul Empire have increased the number of artillery and Maxim heavy machine guns in the army in order to further strengthen the combat effectiveness of the army.

However, this was a bit blinding for Austria-Hungary and the Ottoman Empire.

Originally, both Austro-Hungarian Emperor Franz Joseph I and Ottoman Sultan Abdulhamid II believed that the two countries should be able to defeat the Russian Empire together. In other words, it should be able to have a great advantage on the battlefield.

But now the situation on the battlefield is completely opposite to their expectations.

As the side participating in the war, they are more aware of the serious consequences if they lose this battle.

Not only will a large number of troops be lost on the battlefield, but at the same time, it will inevitably lose great profits.

As for how much profit will be lost in the end, it depends on the appetite of the Russian Empire and the final development of the war situation.

If Austria-Hungary and the Ottoman Empire suffered heavy losses, and the Russian Empire won a brilliant victory. Then, they will inevitably pay a great price.

And this, naturally, is not what the Austro-Hungarian and Ottoman tops want to see.

Both Franz Joseph I and Abdulhamid II gave stern orders to the generals at the front, asking them to intensify their attacks and to defeat the Russian Imperial Army no matter what.

Moreover, Austria-Hungary and the Ottoman Empire also increased their mobilization, and they had to consider if the war was unfavorable.

If the war does not go well, then they may have to send more troops to the battlefield. Otherwise, the Russian Empire would certainly not mind seizing this opportunity to hit them hard.

On the battlefield, the offensive of the Austro-Hungarian and Ottoman armies continued.

Although the losses of both armies were significant, orders from home prevented them from continuing the offensive.

It can be said that the initiative on the battlefield still seems to be in their hands.

However, the Imperial Russian Army remained on the defensive. But their losses were not large.

Moreover, the Russian Imperial Army deployed only a part of its troops on the front line, relying on powerful firepower to inflict great damage on the Austro-Hungarian Army and the Ottoman Army. The rest of the troops conserve their combat strength and are ready to rotate the troops on the front line or, when the time comes, to engage in counterattacks.

Time passed little by little, and in the blink of an eye, the war had broken out for a week.

During this week-long battle, the Austro-Hungarian and Ottoman armies were unable to break through the defenses of the Russian Imperial Army, but suffered heavy losses.

As a result, the attack strength of the Austro-Hungarian and Ottoman armies is constantly decreasing.

After all, the Imperial Army of Tsarist Russia was very powerful.

Especially in defensive operations, the Imperial Army of Tsarist Russia was able to give full play to its powerful firepower advantages.

Every attack by the Austro-Hungarian and Ottoman armies was no different from sending them to death.

After a week of fierce fighting, the casualties of the Austro-Hungarian army have reached tens of thousands. And the losses of the Ottoman army were no less than those of the Austro-Hungarian army.

Moreover, the offensive was frustrated, and the losses of troops had soared, which had greatly affected the will to fight of the Austro-Hungarian and Ottoman armies. The morale of many troops has already fallen to the bottom. If this continues, the troops may collapse if they suffer heavy damage.

In such circumstances, Admiral Gurko believes that the time is ripe for a counterattack.

As a result, Admiral Gurko immediately sent a telegram to the General Staff requesting a counterattack.

Tsar Mikhail, after consulting with the Chief of the General Staff, Colonel Brushilov, and the Minister of the Army, General Sukhhomelinov, agreed to General Gurko’s request for a counterattack.
