Germanic Empire: Please call me Wilhelm III

“Your Majesty, Archduke Ferdinand, Crown Prince of Austria-Hungary, wishes to meet with you to discuss the Austro-Hungarian attack on the Kingdom of Serbia. This was also mentioned earlier by the Chief of the General Staff of Austria-Hungary, Marshal Baron Herzendorf. There are many things that need to be determined by Your Majesty. Admiral Moltke Jr. said.

August nodded: “Tell the Austro-Hungarian side that I am waiting for Archduke Ferdinand in Berlin!” ”

“Yes, Your Majesty!” Admiral Moltke nodded.

In terms of generation, Archduke Ferdinand is the uncle of August’s wife, Queen Elizabeth Mary, and naturally can be regarded as August’s elder.

However, Augustus, as emperor of the Germanic Empire, had a noble position.

Although because of the advanced age of Emperor Franz Joseph I, he no longer handled political affairs. State affairs were entrusted to Crown Prince Archduke Ferdinand. But even so, Archduke Ferdinand did not become emperor for a day, and he was naturally one head lower than August.

Moreover, the Germanic Empire was originally more powerful than the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Whether it was demographic, economic, or military, Austria-Hungary was far from comparable to the Germanic Empire.

In addition, this time it was Austria-Hungary who sought the support of the Germanic Empire. Archduke Ferdinand personally rushed to Paulin, which is what it should be.

“From now on, the army, navy and air force will secretly prepare for war. When Austria-Hungary launched an attack on the Kingdom of Serbia, it was time for war to break out. The Empire needs to be ready for war as soon as possible! August commanded.

“Yes, Your Majesty!” The heads of the army, navy and air force of the Germanic Empire answered one after another.

Austria-Hungary, Vienna, Schönbrunn Palace, office of Archduke Ferdinand.

“Your Royal Highness, the Germanic Empire hopes that you will go to Palin at an appropriate time to meet with His Majesty Emperor William III.” The Chief of the General Staff of Austria-Hungary, Marshal Baron Herzendorf, said.

Archduke Ferdinand couldn’t help but frown, he had planned to meet August in his castle. But he didn’t expect that August would be so faceless and actually let him go to Bolin.

In Auguste’s eyes, Archduke Ferdinand, the crown prince, was already dying, and naturally he would not give him face. Augustus even waited for Archduke Ferdinand to die before his wife, Empress Elizabeth Marie, could inherit the throne of Austria-Hungary. In order to promote the merger of the Germanic Empire and the Austro-Hungarian Empire in the future.

That would be the case that the new Germanic Empire would be able to become a superpower. A superpower that truly has the power to dominate the entire world!

“Well, tell His Majesty Emperor William III that tomorrow I will leave for Paulin!” Archduke Ferdinand said.

Although he was very dissatisfied in his heart, he still did not show it.

After all, it was now Austria-Hungary that had a claim to the Germanic Empire.

If Austria-Hungary wanted to expand into the Balkans, it had to have the full support of the Germanic Empire. Otherwise, Austria-Hungary would not have had the guts to expand.

The Kingdom of Serbia is nothing to worry about though. However, the several powerful states behind the Kingdom of Serbia, no matter which one could afford to mess with, could not be provoked by Austria-Hungary.

“Yes, Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince!” Marshal Baron Herzendorf replied.

The next day, Archduke Ferdinand and the Chief of the General Staff, Marshal Baron Herzendorf, left Viena and took a special train to Berlin to meet Auguste.

On June 12, 1714, in a castle on the outskirts of Berlin, Auguste and General Moltke the Younger met with Archduke Ferdinand and Marshal Baron Herzendorf.

“Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince, Your Excellency Marshal, welcome to Bolin!” August had a smile on his face.

“Your Majesty the Emperor, since you refuse to go to Vienna, then we have to come.” Archduke Ferdinand was apparently not very happy.

“Your Royal Highness, the reason why I don’t go to Viena now is because our goal is too big. The situation is now becoming more and more tense. Once I go to Viena again, won’t I clearly tell other countries that we are going to prepare to do it? August explained.

Archduke Ferdinand nodded, although he did not believe Auguste’s explanation. However, I don’t want to continue to dwell on this issue.

After a brief exchange of pleasantries, the conversation between the two sides moved on to business.

“Your Majesty, the Serbian people are becoming more and more arrogant, and the various separatist organizations they support are constantly assassinating our officials and garrisons. The entire Austro-Hungarian Empire was located on the territory of the Balkans, and the separatist forces became more and more arrogant. We absolutely cannot tolerate the Selvians going on like this. We hope to be able to attack the Kingdom of Servia and destroy them! Archduke Ferdinand said.

August nodded: “We can understand the requirements of Austria-Hungary. However, the Kingdom of Serbia is only a small country. However, behind them stood the Tsarist Empire, the Sun Never Set Empire and the Great Gallic State. That’s what we need to focus on. Once Austria-Hungary launched an attack on the Kingdom of Serbia, these powers would not sit idly by. This means that a large-scale war will break out as a result. ”

Archduke Ferdinand was silent for a few seconds, and then said, “We will soon be able to solve the Kingdom of Servia. As long as we move fast enough, we will take out the Kingdom of Serbia before the Entente completes mobilization. In this case, they will certainly not break out a large-scale war with us for a country that has already perished. ”

August was a little speechless, and Archduke Ferdinand was too high on the strength of Austria-Hungary.

Although the Kingdom of Servia is a small country, it is also a regional power in the Balkans. More importantly, the Serbian people had always been extremely hostile to Austria-Hungary.

The invasion of Austria-Hungary would cause almost the entire kingdom of Serbia to resist. A small country with a population of more than three million people can mobilize 5.6 million troops to resist Austria-Hungary.

Besides, the Kingdom of Servia has just fought two Balkan wars, and it can be regarded as experienced.

The commander of the army of the Kingdom of Serbia, Putnik, was also a talented general.

Austria-Hungary looked down on the Kingdom of Selvia so much, it was simply killing it!

Of course, Archduke Ferdinand, the crown prince, was originally very good at death, and went further and further on the road to death, and finally took his own little life and the entire Austro-Hungarian Empire.
