Tsarist Empire: Please call me His Majesty the Tsar chapter 320

“Gentlemen, no matter how you treat the Germanic Empire. But now we are allies with the Germanic Empire, we have common enemies and common interests. Therefore, we can now only unite with the Germanic Empire to deal with a formidable enemy.

The current international situation, especially in Europe as a whole, is becoming increasingly tense. It can be said that the war has almost reached the point of simmering. We have no other options. Or simply cannot prevent the outbreak of war. Therefore, we can only do our best to win the war.

Holding down the main forces of the Russians at the beginning of the war and creating favorable conditions for the Germanic Empire to defeat the Gauls is what we must do next. Because we all know very well that with our own strength alone, “547” will not be able to defeat the Russians at all. Only with the help of the Germans could we succeed.

The Germanic Emperor Wilhelm II had already promised that once we achieved the final victory. Well, we can get more than just the entire Balkans. At the same time, it was able to expand eastward and acquire large tracts of land on the Eastern European plain. This will greatly increase our country, territory and population. Our strength can also be greatly improved. I guess that’s what everyone wants to see, right? ”

Archduke Ferdinand explained to everyone.

The Austro-Hungarian cabinet and the top brass of the military were impressed.

Sure enough, it is the tangible benefits that can move people the most.

With these interests in front of them, how can they be allowed to refuse?

“The Germanic conditions were indeed very attractive. However, there are a lot of risks! Once the war is won, everyone is naturally happy. But what if the war is unfortunately lost? The consequences would be very serious. If you don’t get it right, our empire will collapse! Prime Minister Mario Webb sighed.

“Risk and return have always been directly proportional. There is no such thing as unearned gain in the world. If we want to reap huge benefits, we understandably have to take huge risks. But now do we have any other options? The contradictions within the empire became more and more acute. If we can win the war and gain great benefits in the war. Then we can take this opportunity to bridge the contradictions at home and let the entire empire develop again. Perhaps, there is also a chance to further strengthen the empire. If we let go of this opportunity, I am afraid that our empire will eventually collapse! Archduke Ferdinand reminded.

Everyone’s expressions became serious.

The contradictions within the Austro-Hungarian Empire were indeed very bad.

The whole country, the population is quite large, but the nationality is also very large. The Germanic people, who were the ruling body, did not make up the majority of the total population of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. This forced them to unite with the Hungarians to form the majority of the population.

But even so, other peoples, such as Bohemians, Bosniaks, Herzegovinans, and other nationalities, are not few. There were dozens of languages throughout Austria-Hungary.

In such a situation, it is simply impossible to count on how strong the centripetal force of the country is.

Emperor Franz Joseph I of Austria had great prestige. While he was still alive, Austria-Hungary was barely able to remain stable.

However, Franz Joseph I is not young! Or in other words, it is already an absolute advanced age.

Even if the crown prince of Archduke Ferdinand was carefully cultivated by Franz Joseph I. But both in terms of prestige and ability, there is a huge gap compared with Franz Joseph I.

Once Franz Joseph I died and Archduke Ferdinand succeeded to the throne, he probably did not have enough prestige to subdue the Austro-Hungarian states. At that time, Austria-Hungary will inevitably fall apart.

Therefore, Archduke Ferdinand hoped that under his leadership, Austria-Hungary would be able to destroy the Kingdom of Serbia and annex the entire Kingdom of Servia. Then defeat the old enemy of the Russian Empire in the Great War.

In this way, he will gain great prestige. Even after the death of Franz Joseph I, he had enough prestige to rule the entire country.

“The Empire really has no other choice…. Sometimes, it’s time to take a risk. We can only pray to God that we can succeed! Franz Joseph I said.

He was able to understand Archduke Ferdinand’s thoughts, and he undoubtedly supported it.

As the emperor of Austria-Hungary, he naturally hoped that the inheritance of Austria-Hungary could continue and become stronger.

“Yes, Your Majesty!” Archduke Ferdinand rejoices.

With the support of Franz Joseph I, he cleared all obstacles. (Read violent novels, just go to Feilu Fiction Network!) ）

“Gentlemen, I plan to deploy two corps to hold exercises in the border area with Serbia. And the imaginary enemy of the exercise is the Kingdom of Servia. After the exercise, I will make a tour of Sarajevo. During this period, if the Selvia have any overreaction, we can use this as an excuse to declare war on the Selvians! Archduke Ferdinand said.

“Your Royal Highness, will this be dangerous?” Prime Minister Mario Webb was worried.

“Yes, Your Highness the Crown Prince. You are the Crown Prince of the Empire, the heir of the Empire, and you cannot be in danger! The other ministers also persuaded.

“Don’t worry, I’ll take security measures. Selvians, can’t treat me like that. Archduke Ferdinand seemed very confident.

He believes that his safety can be guaranteed if the security measures of An-4.9 are fully in place.

What’s more, he believed that with their army conducting exercises, it was already a great deterrent for the Kingdom of Servia.

If the Kingdom of Selvi overreacted because of this, all the better. Well, there is a reason for them to declare war.

“From now on, the Imperial Army is secretly in combat readiness. As soon as the pretext for war is available, immediately launch a general mobilization of the whole country and launch an attack on the Kingdom of Serbia! This time, we will definitely be able to win! Archduke Ferdinand looked confident.

However, perhaps he did not expect that this time he would play with his own little life. And his death became the best reason for the Austro-Hungarian Empire and even the entire Central Group to go to war.
