Capítulo 196: Chapter 83, Passing the Buck

Vienna

At the Austrian General Staff headquarters, Marshal Radetzky was gathering a group of officers to conduct an analysis of actual combat cases, focusing on the recent Balkan battles.

Based on the intelligence they had, they analyzed the gains and losses of both sides in the battle and sought to learn from their experiences.

It is said that those directly involved cannot see as clearly as the detached observers.

As detached observers, the staff officers at the Austrian General Staff, a bunch of armchair strategists, criticized both sides as being utterly incompetent.

Russians: Strategic decision-making errors, failing to choose to break through the weak Ottoman forces, instead butting heads with the French. Evaluation: Military quality of commanders is inadequate, lacking adaptability.
