Tageserfolg eines Konzepts

English translation: " short-term success of a (hastily thrown together) concept

Art/Literary / story set during WWII
German term or phrase: Tageserfolg eines Konzepts
hello everyone ... i’m having a difficult time understanding the gist of this paragraph ...

The count, and the doctor are discussing whether or not the front will come to where they are (Königsberg). The doctor is certain, the count, however, thinks it's all hogwash and says the following:

"Unsere Generäle werden zwischen radikalen politischen and wohl bereits absoluten Linien unterscehiden können. Das Beharren von vermeintlichen Betonköpfen in der Generalität wird kein Bestand haben. Wer so agiert, der nimmt weder den militärischen Sachverstand der Fachleute in der Truppe ernst noch den Rat von außen, der möchte allein mit dem Tageserfolg eines hastig zusammengeschusterten Konzepts politisch punkten."
