Germanic Empire: Please call me Wilhelm III

Germanic Empire, Berlin, Royal Palace.

August had been waiting for news of the assassination of Archduke Ferdinand.

However, he can’t do it too obviously. If others knew that he could predict prophets, it would be troublesome.

That evening, Lieutenant General Colt, the director of intelligence of the Germanic Empire, reported to August that Archduke Ferdinand had been assassinated and had died.

August was calm and not too agitated.

“Karl, summon the Imperial Cabinet and the top military officials and immediately convene an emergency meeting. War is coming! August ordered.

“Yes, Your Majesty the Emperor!” Carl Jonalet replied immediately.

Immediately, the Germanic cabinet and military officials gathered in August’s office.

“Gentlemen, it is very sad news that our ally, Archduke Ferdinand, Crown Prince of Austria-Hungary, has just been assassinated in Serbia. This is simply too despicable and horrible. This was a provocation not only against Austria-Hungary, but also against the Reich. Austria-Hungary will certainly not give up. As an ally of Austria-Hungary, the empire must also be ready to support Austria-Hungary at any time and join the war! August ordered.

“Yes, Your Majesty!” The ministers of the Germanic Empire all answered.

Many people even had joy on their faces that could not be concealed, as if they were not saddened by the death of Archduke Ferdinand, but very excited.

Of course, it is understandable that the killing of Archduke Ferdinand will not have any adverse effect on the Germanic Empire. There are even benefits.

This meant that the heir to the Austro-Hungarian throne was again vacant. Then, it seems that Her Majesty the Empress of the Germanic Empire also has another chance to inherit Austria-Hungary. At that time, the two powerful empires will merge into one. This would give birth to an incomparably powerful empire.

Of course, August knew very well that Franz Joseph I, although old, was not confused. As long as he lived for one day, he would never let Elizabeth Mary become the crown prince of Austria-Hungary, let alone let her inherit the throne of Austria-Hungary and become empress. In that case, Austria-Hungary may soon be swallowed up by the Germanic Empire and cease to exist.

However, Franz Joseph I was old after all, and even died soon. Under such circumstances, August had his sights on Austria-Hungary. Then, the end and fate of Austria-Hungary was undoubtedly already predetermined.

“Your Majesty, the Austro-Hungarian Empire has officially informed us that they are about to launch an attack on the Kingdom of Serbia, hoping that the Empire will support them!” Foreign Secretary Holwig said.

“Of course, tell Austria-Hungary that the Empire will abide by the covenant and support Austria-Hungary. If other countries dare to intervene in the war between Austria-Hungary and the Kingdom of Serbia, the Empire will definitely not sit idly by! August said.

“Yes, Your Majesty!” Hallvig replied.

“From now on, the Imperial Army, Navy and Air Force are ready. The Imperial Army, in particular, could begin to carry out secret mobilization. Once war breaks out, the Imperial Army needs to have at least a hundred infantry divisions! August ordered.

“Yes, Your Majesty!” The Minister of War Admiral von Falkenhein answered.

“Gentlemen, war is coming. This time, the empire must win! August said.

“The empire will win!” The ministers of the Germanic Empire were also full of confidence.

The assassination of Archduke Ferdinand, Crown Prince of Austria-Hungary, was like a shock bomb on all of Europe and the world.

The kingdom of Selvia was first shaken, and King Peter I was even more frightened.

Although, the Kingdom of Serbia had ambitions to split the southern territories of Austria-Hungary and form a powerful Slavic kingdom. However, this does not mean that they dare to face Austria-Hungary head-on! Or dare to challenge Austria-Hungary head-on! With the strength of the Kingdom of Serbia, this is simply an act of looking for death!

“Damn, are those stupid guys trying to ruin our country? How could we be opponents of Austria-Hungary? We will not be able to resist the crazy retaliation of Austria-Hungary! King Peter I was very angry.

“Your Majesty, it is no longer useful to say this, we must carry out a general mobilization to deal with the next retaliation of Austria-Hungary. In addition, immediately ask the Tsarist Russian Empire for help, ask the Tsarist Empire to support us! The Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Servia said.

Peter I nodded repeatedly: “That’s right, immediately carry out a general mobilization.” In addition, ask for help from the Russian Empire. ”

King Peter I was like a drowning man grasping the last straw.

Immediately, the Kingdom of Serbia immediately began a general mobilization. For a country with a population of just over three million, Austria-Hungary was definitely a behemoth.

The entire kingdom of Serbia knew that they were no match for Austria-Hungary at all.

However, in order to defend their country, countless Selwians joined the army, took up arms, and prepared to fight for their country.

At the same time, the ambassador of the Kingdom of Serbia to the Russian Empire immediately asked for assistance from the Tsarist Empire on behalf of the Kingdom of Serbia.

Tsarist Empire, Petersburg, Winter Palace.

Nicholas II summoned a group of cabinet ministers and senior military officials to discuss countermeasures.

The Russian Empire was also very dissatisfied with the assassination of Archduke Ferdinand. Although, they are the biggest supporters behind the Kingdom of Servia. However, the current Russian Empire was undergoing military reforms. With the perestroika not yet completed, Nicholas II did not want to make a big move.

However, now that the crown prince of Austria-Hungary has been assassinated, you don’t need to think about it to know that Austria-Hungary will definitely not give up.

This war is already unavoidable.

The Russian Empire could not have watched the Kingdom of Selvia be destroyed, and watched Austria-Hungary become the hegemon of the Balkans. Therefore, they have no choice.

“Gentlemen, for the good of the Empire, even if the Selvia are very stupid this time. But the Empire must also support them. Warn Austria-Hungary that if they dare to attack the Kingdom of Serbia, then the Empire will launch a general mobilization. At the same time, they will be treated as enemies! “Nicholas II made a decision.

Not only did the Russian Empire choose to fully support the Kingdom of Serbia, but the Gallic State also made such a decision, warning Austria-Hungary not to attack the Kingdom of Serbia.
