How bad is it? One only needs to look at the conversation between General Brusilov and Great Elder Vite before the Grand Duke returned to Saint Petersburg and then again before returning to the Riga Fortress to present their report.
With a worried expression, the Great Elder spoke:
"The fortifications are complete, supplies are abundant, and the army's morale is high. Defending the fortress shouldn't be difficult, but in order to act in concert with our new allies and defeat our primary enemy, we need one condition."
"What condition?"
The General asked, puzzled.
"Once you are at the fortress, immediately arrest Admiral Alexeyev and escort him to the capital. Otherwise, it will be difficult for the army to act according to plan."
