The bridge is made of reinforced concrete, so there is no problem at all when crossing tanks.

The road is made of asphalt and is paved with large stones underneath.

On rainy and snowy days, there are people dedicated to removing snow from the road.

But what's here?

Look at this road, it's a fucking dirt road. In this kind of weather, it's just like a muddy road even if tanks don't crush it.

It is said that Napoleon was defeated by Russia's severe cold. I think he was defeated by Russia's dilapidated roads.

Now that everything is like this, let’s just calm down and wait here!”

"Wait? I can afford to wait, but my soldiers can't wait!

Look, these are all fucking shabby barracks.

Many soldiers are still sleeping in houses without roofs. I went to see them yesterday.

It's snowing heavily outside and light snowing inside.

The soldiers were shivering with cold, wrapped in quilts and saluted me.

If the cotton-padded clothes from behind had not arrived earlier, people might have frozen to death by now.

My soldiers can fight and die in battle.

You must not die of thirst, cold or starvation.

If there are non-combat attrition, it will be my dereliction of duty as the commander of the expeditionary force.

The damn Russians can’t even get a damn good barracks?”

"Old Ao!

The Russians themselves still live in tents, so how can they provide us with barracks?

The tug-of-war in Smolensk lasted four months, and there were not many intact houses in the entire city.

Now where do you ask the Russians to get you a barracks!"

"Damn it, we might as well go to Ukraine. At least we can invade Kiev and have a place to live.

I heard that Kiev has a population of hundreds of thousands, and the land nearby is fertile. It is known as the breadbasket of Europe.

When we get there, at least we won’t have to worry about food. There’s no need to chew bears here!”

Master Ao threw away the bear bones in his hand in annoyance!

In addition to the fat paws of this bear, the meat of this bear is really thick. It is thicker than venison. Not only is it thick, but it also has a fishy smell, and it tastes terrible when eaten in the mouth.

Now Master Ao knows that the bear meat of Wei Mao is suitable for roasting and eating.

Only when it is grilled can the strong flavor of seasoning cover up the fishy smell of bear meat.

"Okay!

Go to Kyiv!

Is there a railway in Kyiv?

You can drive a tank there, but how about your supplies?

Just this damn weather and damn roads.

Do you expect trucks to deliver supplies to you?

I think it’s better to talk to Brother Xiao. Let’s retreat to the east of Moscow. At least the supply conditions there are better than here.

Although our tanks are invincible, their supply requirements are too high.

Not only does it require traditional grain and ammunition, but it also consumes a lot of oil.

In this weather, it takes half an hour to warm up the car in the morning.

I heard that the winter in Moscow can freeze stones to pieces.

This cold method is even colder than Liaodong.

By then, whether our tank engine can start will be a big problem.

While I can still move now, I think it’s better to withdraw first.”

"Withdraw!

What would happen if Napoleon came at this time?

According to intelligence, more than 800,000 people have gathered in Warsaw, Poland.

There are French troops, Prussian troops, Britain, Norway, Denmark, Spain, Portugal, Austria, Italy, and other countries.

It is said that their follow-up troops are still gathering.

If we withdraw at this time, what will the Russians do?

This attack will not even bring down Moscow."

Master Ao gnawed the bear meat in frustration. He didn't like his current situation very much.

Trapped in such a place, I can't advance, I can't retreat, I can't retreat.

The road conditions are not good and there is no railway.

Poor road conditions have actually trapped 100,000 soldiers of the expeditionary force here. Logistics supplies have also been interrupted because there are no roads to pass trucks.

The current supplies are all maintained by large airships.

A large airship can supply supplies for a short period of time, but it can maintain an expeditionary force of 100,000 soldiers for a long time, plus a cavalry division of 35,000 soldiers and horses, so the cost is too high.

Especially in the current weather, the wind is blowing. Sometimes the wind is so strong that even the airship cannot take off.

There is nothing we can do about this, as the airbags of large transport airships are simply too big.

The airbag will naturally drive you around, but if the wind is too strong, the airship will be blown away directly, and there may even be a risk of crashing.

"We can't do it, let alone the Christian coalition.

Do you think Napoleon can solve the supply problem that none of us can solve?

In their army, supplies still rely on horse-drawn carriages, not cars.

Do you expect mules and horses to travel on this kind of road?

This time I came here to ask you to co-sign a telegram to Brother Xiao.

If you do not agree, we will withdraw our cavalry division to the east of Moscow alone.

At least you can get close to the railway and get necessary supplies.

In the past, we kept things simple.

I thought that as long as we had tanks, armored vehicles, and airplanes, we could start the blitzkrieg that Brother Xiao was talking about!

Now it seems that supporting roads and bridges are still needed.

If nothing else, crossing the Volga River is a difficult problem.

There is no bridge across the entire damn Volga River that can pass tanks.

Only when the Volga River is almost frozen can our tanks drive across the ice.

If we don't retreat quickly now, once the coalition forces attack, we won't even have anywhere to retreat!

If the tank sinks into the mud, the infantry can blow you up with explosive packets."

Master Ao took a deep breath, he also knew that he was in a bad situation now.

But even retreating now is very difficult. We don't know when the weather is going to get bad like this.

"Then withdraw!" After thinking for a long time, Mr. Ao also knew that it was very dangerous to stay in Smolensk.

Say it again!

Napoleon had suffered losses in Russia, and of course he knew that the current situation was not suitable for fighting.

Logically speaking, he would never launch an attack at this time.

Unless..., Napoleon has lost his mind.

"Very good, then send a telegram now. We will retreat to the east of Moscow and rest along the railway.

And explain the situation here clearly to Brother Xiao.

We used to take things too much for granted.

Tank! It relies too much on various conditions. Now it seems that it can only wait for winter.

Only after the ground was completely frozen and the rivers were covered with thick layers of ice could we carry out operations.

Otherwise, we are likely to be restricted by the terrain."

"Okay! Send the report."
