“Order Army Group Southwest to prepare for an attack on Austria-Hungary. This time, we are going to fight the Carpathians and invade the heart of Austria-Hungary. We will make Austria-Hungary pay a heavy price. Hit Austria-Hungary hard, weaken the strength of the entire Confederate bloc, and let the Germans know that we are not good bullies either! Nicholas II ordered viciously.

The Russian Empire was not a rival to the Germanic Empire, but it was able to pose a great threat to Austria-Hungary. Therefore, Nicholas II did not hesitate to make Austria-Hungary the main target of the Russian Empire.

“Yes, Your Majesty. Although Austria-Hungary built fortifications in the Carpathian Mountains, it wanted to rely on the mountains to resist us. However, they are simply delusional. The combat effectiveness of Austria-Hungary is still too bad, they simply cannot be our opponents! Grand Duke Nikolai said confidently.

Indeed, although the Russian Empire could not defeat the Germanic Empire, it was still able to deal with Austria-Hungary.

The soldiers of the Russian Empire also had great courage and confidence in dealing with Austria-Hungary.

“Good, then, I look forward to a brilliant victory for the troops.” This can play a great role in improving the morale of the troops and strengthening the courage of the people. Nicholas II said.

The victory of the Germanic Empire on the Western Front also shocked the people of the Russian Empire.

There are already many people who think that the Tsarist Empire is the enemy of the German Empire, which is completely a mistake. In particular, the chaotic party of the Tsarist Empire was also taking advantage of the opportunity to attack the war policy of the Tsarist Empire.

As a result, the internal contradictions of the Tsarist Empire have become more and more intense.

At this time, the Russian Empire also needed a victory to pacify the people at home, so that the people of the Tsarist Empire could restore their confidence in the imperial government, and let everyone continue to summon up the courage to continue this war.

And Austria-Hungary became the object of the prestige of the Russian Empire.

Austria-Hungary, although nothing was done in this world war. However, they were important allies of the Germanic Empire. When the Germanic Empire threw its main forces into the Western Front, Austria-Hungary once dragged down the main forces of the Tsarist Empire on the Eastern Front.

Although Austria-Hungary was not able to defeat the Russian Empire in the war, it was defeated by the Russian Empire. However, they have restrained a considerable part of the power of the Russian Empire!

Otherwise, the Germanic Empire would not have been able to launch a large-scale offensive on the Western Front, let alone defeat the Gallic Kingdom and the Empire of the Sunset.

It can be said that although Austria-Hungary did not have merit, there was also a lot of hard work.

As a close ally of the Germanic Empire, although the two countries had a lot of contradictions over the issue of the heir to the throne.

Even the top officials of both countries were well aware of the great ambitions of the Germanic Emperor August for the Austro-Hungarian throne. However, this does not affect the cooperation between the two countries in the war.

Originally, Austria-Hungary was also very worried about this war, worried that the Allies would not have a chance of victory. After all, their enemies are too powerful. It will be very difficult to win.

However, the assassination of the Austro-Hungarian crown prince made it necessary for them to continue the war, and they had no other choice. Fortunately, the Germanic Empire’s performance in this war was too brave, which directly made Austria-Hungary feel overjoyed.

At the beginning of the war, the Germanic Empire won victories on the Western and Eastern Fronts.

After more than half a year of the war, the Germanic Empire won a decisive victory directly on the Western Front.

This made the entire Austro-Hungarian Empire realize that with the strong support of this ally, they had a good chance of winning the war. Victory in the war in the future will be a high probability event.

Even though Archduke Karl, Crown Prince of Austria-Hungary, had a hostile attitude towards the Germanic Empire, they had to acknowledge the strong strength of the Germanic Empire. After all, he did not want Austria-Hungary to lose the war, and he hoped that Austria-Hungary would win the war.

“Cheers, gentlemen, to the victory of our allies!” The old Austrian emperor Franz Joseph I raised the wine glass in his hand.

Although, his face was full of smiles, and an old face smiled like a chrysanthemum.

However, there was clearly a hint of worry in his eyes.

The Germanic Empire is too powerful, which is probably not a good thing for Austria-Hungary!

If nothing else, what if after his death, the Germanic Empire took action against Austria-Hungary!

With the ability of Archduke Karl, will he be able to preserve Austria-Hungary? Can it sustain an empire that is on the verge of collapse with its enormous internal contradictions?

If he had lived, the Germanic Empire would naturally not dare to take what happened to Austria-Hungary. With his high prestige, he was also able to deter other forces in Austria-Hungary and make them dare not act rashly and continue to unite under the banner of Austria-Hungary.

“Hooray! Banzai! ”

The ministers of Austria-Hungary and the top officials of the military were all smiling.

It was as if the gloom of their defeat by the Russian Empire last year had dissipated.

“Your Majesty, next, after our ally the Germanic Empire has won a decisive victory on the battlefield on the Western Front, it is inevitable that it will mobilize troops to the Eastern Front to launch a large-scale attack on the Russian Empire. At that time, we will be able to defeat the Russians in one fell swoop and retake the Galician region. The Chief of the General Staff of Austria-Hungary, Marshal Baron Herzendorf, looked excited.

The other generals also nodded one after another.

It is delusional to defeat the Russian Empire and retake Galicia on their own strength alone.

But now, with the support of allies, everything will be very easy.

“Yes, Your Majesty. We need to mobilize enough troops to withstand the attack of the Tsars in the Carpathians. We only need to hold on for a while longer, and we will be able to win the final victory. Archduke Friedrich also said.

“Gentlemen, we are about to win this war. This will allow us to reap enormous benefits after the end of the war. Therefore, our army must also do its best in this battle, show our strength, and not let the Germans look down on us! Crown Prince Karl said.
