Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Kaiser Wilhelm II seemed somewhat hesitant about whether to accept the entry of the Kingdom of Serbia into the Holy Alliance.  Although the Kingdom of Serbia joins the Holy Alliance, this will further enhance the influence of the Holy Alliance in Europe and the world.  But there is no doubt that this will also completely break the relationship between Germany and the Austro-Hungarian Empire!  Everyone knows that the Austro-Hungarian Empire has begun preparations for war against the Kingdom of Serbia.  Although Germany could deter the Austro-Hungarian Empire and even use force to force the Austro-Hungarian Empire to give up its invasion of the Kingdom of Serbia!  But what if Austria-Hungary refused?  If Ferdinand I made a desperate move and decided to invade the Kingdom of Serbia, would Germany really fulfill its covenant and attack the Austro-Hungarian Empire, thereby triggering a world war?

    When he thinks of this, William II has a headache!  The most fundamental reason why Germany led the establishment of the Holy Alliance was to strengthen Germany's influence in Europe and even the world.  It would be great if we could become the leader of Europe and even the entire Western world!  However, if the war breaks out early due to the Kingdom of Serbia, this will not be in Germany's interests!

    "We still need to have a detailed discussion on whether to agree to the Kingdom of Serbia joining the Holy Alliance! Let's put this issue aside for the time being and let's not rush to reply to the Kingdom of Serbia!" Kaiser Wilhelm II said.  Although judging from his personal wishes, he was inclined to agree to the Kingdom of Serbia joining the Holy Alliance.  However, he had to consider what consequences this would lead to.

    "Yes, Your Majesty!" Kaiser Wilhelm II had already made a decision, and others had to follow it.

    The day after the establishment of the Holy Alliance, that is, on the morning of September 4, the Austro-Hungarian Empire also learned about the Kingdom of Serbia¡¯s request to join the Holy Alliance. The Austro-Hungarian Empire¡¯s ambassador to Germany, J¨¹genbrugger, made an urgent meeting with the German Foreign Minister Shi  Treesemann expressed the dissatisfaction of the Austro-Hungarian Empire to Germany!  and demanded that Germany reject the Kingdom of Serbia's request to join the Holy Alliance.

    "Your Excellency, Minister of Foreign Affairs! The conflict between the Kingdom of Serbia and the Austro-Hungarian Empire has become more and more serious. Our Emperor has made up his mind to resolve the conflict between us and the Kingdom of Serbia by force! If Germany agrees at this time  The Kingdom of Serbia joins the Holy Alliance, which will undoubtedly drag the entire Holy Alliance into the quagmire of war! For the sake of the friendship between Austria-Hungary and Germany, and for the peace of Europe and the world, the Austro-Hungarian Empire hopes that Germany will refuse the Kingdom of Serbia to join the Holy Alliance.  Alliance!" Ambassador J¨¹genbrugger said!

    German Foreign Minister Stresemann was very disdainful of what Ambassador Jugenbrugger said. The friendship between Austria-Hungary and Germany is all bullshit.  Ten years ago, Austria-Hungary was perhaps Germany's staunchest ally.  But now?  The two countries have already parted ways!  Germany and the Austro-Hungarian Empire are no longer allies, but will be enemies!  The Austro-Hungarian Empire and the Chinese colluded together, which destined both sides to become enemies!  As for peace in Europe and the world, this is even more nonsense.  Could it be that the Austro-Hungarian Empire was preparing to invade the Kingdom of Serbia to maintain peace in Europe and the world?  More importantly, the Holy Alliance is led by Germany. It would be fine if Austria-Hungary did not join the Holy Alliance!  However, if Austria-Hungary still wants to influence Germany's decision, it is wishful thinking!

    "Your Excellency Ambassador! Whether or not the Kingdom of Serbia is allowed to join the Holy Alliance is not decided by the Austro-Hungarian Empire! It is decided by all our members of the Holy Alliance!" German Foreign Minister Stresemann said coldly  !

    "Your Excellency, Minister of Foreign Affairs, if you want to absorb the Kingdom of Serbia into the Holy Alliance, this will bring a war to the Holy Alliance and may lead to the outbreak of World War II!" Ambassador J¨¹genbrugger threatened!

    "Germany is not afraid of war! The same goes for many members of the Holy Alliance! Although the Holy Alliance was established to avoid the outbreak of war! However, if war must be forced on us, we will not be afraid!  Stresemann said very firmly!

    "Your Excellency, Minister of Foreign Affairs! Regardless of whether the Kingdom of Serbia will join the Holy Alliance, the Austro-Hungarian Empire's war against the Kingdom of Serbia will be inevitable! Even if a war breaks out with the entire Holy Alliance! The determination of the Austro-Hungarian Empire will not change!  "Ambassador J¨¹genbrugge is also very determined!  Although Germany and the entire Holy Alliance put great pressure on the Austro-Hungarian Empire, if they wanted to confront the Holy Alliance, the Austro-Hungarian Empire had no chance of winning!  But now, the Austro-Hungarian Empire has reached a secret agreement with China, which is like giving the Austro-Hungarian Empire a security guarantee!  With the support of China, the Austro-Hungarian Empire is no longer afraid of Germany!

    The attitudes of both sides were very tough, which made German Foreign Minister Stresemann and the Austro-Hungarian Ambassador to Germany long-term.?The meeting between Brugger ended on bad terms!

    Faced with the tough attitude of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, Germany became increasingly hesitant on the issue of whether the Kingdom of Serbia would join the Holy Alliance!  Although Germany did not unequivocally reject the Kingdom of Serbia from joining the Holy Alliance, they seemed to have shelved this issue indefinitely!  Although Ivanovic, the Foreign Minister of the Kingdom of Serbia, continues to work hard in Berlin, as Germany's response becomes increasingly cold, Ivanovic himself becomes less and less confident!

    The Austro-Hungarian Empire is very satisfied with Germany¡¯s reaction!  At the request of the new emperor Ferdinand I, the entire Austro-Hungarian Empire has reached an agreement that the Austro-Hungarian Empire will launch a war with the Kingdom of Serbia in order to expand the Austro-Hungarian Empire's interests in the Balkan Peninsula!  However, they are not willing to defend against the German invasion when invading the Kingdom of Serbia, which will result in a two-front war!  And they are not sure of winning on both fronts!  Now Germany has not promised the Kingdom of Serbia to join the Holy Alliance. From the perspective of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, Germany has chosen to compromise in the face of the strength of the Austro-Hungarian Empire!

    A week later, Emperor Ferdinand I of the Austro-Hungarian Empire held a military conference in Vienna. The leaders of the Austro-Hungarian Empire¡¯s land, sea and air forces attended this meeting.  At the meeting, Ferdinand I asked the Austro-Hungarian Empire¡¯s land, sea and air forces to prepare for war. In the next three months, the Austro-Hungarian Empire will launch an attack on the Kingdom of Serbia and ensure the destruction of the Kingdom of Serbia within two months.  !

    Archduke Friedrich, commander of the Austro-Hungarian Army, said: "The strength of the Austro-Hungarian Army is twenty times that of the Kingdom of Serbia! We can easily destroy the Kingdom of Serbia!"

    The Kingdom of Serbia is a landlocked country, and the navy of the Austro-Hungarian Empire is of no use.  However, the weak air force of the Austro-Hungarian Empire stated that they would invest more than 500 fighter jets and bombers to attack the Kingdom of Serbia, assist the army in breaking through the Kingdom of Serbia¡¯s defense lines, and even bomb Belgrade, the capital of the Kingdom of Serbia, to  Destroy the morale of the Kingdom of Serbia and force them to surrender!

    From the perspective of military strength, the Austro-Hungarian Empire is indeed much stronger than the Kingdom of Serbia!  The Austro-Hungarian Empire had a large number of armored forces. China sold a total of tanks and armored vehicles to the Austro-Hungarian Empire that could arm 6 armored brigades. The Austro-Hungarian Empire also imitated tanks and armored vehicles that could arm 4 armored brigades. This made Austria-Hungary  The total number of tanks and armored vehicles owned by the empire exceeds two thousand!  The tanks and armored vehicles owned by the Kingdom of Serbia are almost zero!  In addition, the Air Force of the Kingdom of Serbia is almost blank.  The Army is the main combat force of the Kingdom of Serbia.  However, the total strength of the Army of the Kingdom of Serbia is only 200,000 people.  The equipment is mostly rifles. These rifles come from many countries, including France, Germany, the Austro-Hungarian Empire and even Russia. This makes the logistics of the Army of the Kingdom of Serbia a mess!  Under such circumstances, it is almost impossible to expect the Army of the Kingdom of Serbia to withstand the attack of the Austro-Hungarian Empire!

    The Austro-Hungarian Empire and the Kingdom of Serbia are not heavyweight opponents at all!  Comparing the military strength of the two countries, there is a huge difference!  Once a war breaks out, the Kingdom of Serbia will definitely lose!  This is the view of almost all countries in the world, and it is also the view of the Austro-Hungarian Empire itself!

    In fact, the situation in the Austro-Hungarian Empire is not optimistic.  Austrian Emperor Ferdinand I asked the Austro-Hungarian Army, Navy and Air Force to prepare for war within three months!  But in fact, the concentration of the Austro-Hungarian Army in the southern region, coupled with the preparation of war supplies, will take a lot of time!  Wanting to be ready within three months does not seem to be a problem for China or Germany!  But for the Austro-Hungarian Empire, it was a bit difficult!  Although the Austro-Hungarian Empire is known as the third most powerful country in the world!  However, this title seems to have a lot of water content!

    However, even so, the Austro-Hungarian Empire is indeed preparing for war!  A large number of army troops were transferred from the northern region to the south. In order to deal with the German threat, the main army of the Austro-Hungarian Empire was deployed in the north!  Austro-Hungarian Army General Potyrek will serve as the supreme commander of this war against the Kingdom of Serbia.  In this battle, the Austro-Hungarian Empire will mobilize a total of 400,000 army troops, including 4 armored brigades, and this is already twice the total army of the Kingdom of Serbia!  (To be continued.
