Chief of Staff Fajinhan of Germany and his predecessor, Major Maurice Johnson, had drastically different ways of handling things.
Major Maurice adhered to a non-interference attitude towards front-line commanders, only responsible for formulating macro strategies, while the micro-level operations were left to the commanders of the various Army Groups at the front line.
However, Fajinhan was different. As the newly appointed Chief of Staff of Germany, Fajinhan not only fully participated in the formulation of macro strategies but also frequently commanded and directed each of the Army Groups on the front line.
Regarding the potential opportunity of encircling all Russian armies for a complete wipeout, Fajinhan proposed his perspective: He suggests the deployment of soldiers for a two-way attack, with the primary attack still led by Makenson, who had just achieved a massive victory. The direction of the attack would be the area between the Vivace River and the Bug River.
