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

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

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

However, the subsequent development of the war situation left the sun never setting and other countries stunned.

The performance of the Tsarist Imperial Army on the battlefield completely exceeded their expectations.

In the face of the attacks of Austria-Hungary and the Ottoman Empire, the Russian Imperial Army easily held the defensive line. And, it doesn't seem to take much effort.

Instead, Austria-Hungary and the Ottoman Empire paid great losses in the offensive.

This result made the sun not set dumbfounded, which was obviously different from their previous expectations!

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

In particular, military powers such as the Sun Never Sets Empire, the Germanic Empire and the Gallic State 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 blind for Austria-Hungary and the Ottoman Empire.

Originally, both the Austro-Hungarian Emperor Franz Joseph I and the Ottoman Sultan Abdelhamid II believed that their 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 party to the war, they know better how serious the consequences will be if they lose this battle.

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

As for how much profit will be lost in the end, it depends on the appetite of the Tsarist 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 top echelons of Austria-Hungary and the Ottoman Empire want to see.

Both Franz Joseph I and Abdelhamid II issued stern orders to the generals at the front, demanding that they intensify their attacks and 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 I am afraid that they will have to send more troops to the battlefield. Otherwise, the Russian Empire would certainly not mind seizing this opportunity to inflict heavy damage on them.

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 their offensive.

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

However, the Tsarist Imperial Army remained on the defensive. But their losses are not great.

Even , the Tsarist Imperial Army deployed only a part of its troops on the front line, relying on strong 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 troops at the front, or when the time comes, they will engage in counterattacks.

Little by little, the war has 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 intensity of the Austro-Hungarian Army and the Ottoman Army was constantly decreasing.

After all, the Tsarist Imperial Army had great firepower.

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

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

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

Moreover, the offensive has been thwarted, and the loss of troops has soared, which has greatly affected the will to fight of the Austro-Hungarian Army and the Ottoman Army. The morale of many troops has already fallen to the bottom. If this continues, once it suffers heavy losses, the army may collapse.

In such a situation, 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 deliberating with the Chief of the General Staff, General Brusilov, and the Minister of War, General Sukhomlinov, agreed to Admiral Gurko's request for a counterattack.
