Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Wang Yuze himself cannot guarantee whether the assassination of Ferdinand I will happen!  After all, the current history and what he knew have long been changed beyond recognition!  However, Ferdinand I's trip to Sarajevo made him unable to help but be more vigilant.  In the current Austro-Hungarian Empire, except for Ferdinand I, no one can command the dozen kingdoms, principalities and principalities that make up the Austro-Hungarian Empire!  If Ferdinand I was killed, the Austro-Hungarian Empire would fall apart!  The disintegrated Austro-Hungarian Empire will no longer pose any threat to Germany!  On the contrary, it may be annexed by China or recovered and become a vassal!  In this case, China's strategy of using Austria-Hungary to contain Germany would have completely failed!  At that time, China will have to directly face the powerful Germany!

    As for warning the Austro-Hungarian Empire, this is no longer considered!  Will the conceited Ferdinand I believe China¡¯s intelligence?  I am afraid that he believes in the intelligence obtained by the Austro-Hungarian Empire even more!  Incorporation, if China reveals this news, if the assassination does not happen, this will undoubtedly make Ferdinand I dissatisfied with China!  And if the assassination happened, the Austro-Hungarian Empire would definitely wonder if China was involved!  Therefore, the best way for China at this moment is to pretend that it knows nothing, but be prepared militarily!

    "Your Majesty! Should we prepare for a war to break out in advance?" Marshal Cai Yun, Chief of the General Staff, asked!  Although he believed that Ferdinand I was assassinated, the possibility of being killed was very small.  But since Emperor Wang Yuze raised this possibility, the duty of the General Staff is to prepare what kind of response China should make if the assassination really happens, so as to reduce losses as much as possible!

    "The General Staff Headquarters can make relevant preparations! In addition, all units on the front line should be put into emergency combat readiness! Once the combat order is issued, all units can attack in the shortest possible time!" Wang Yuze said!  Of course he hopes that the assassination will not happen, but if he is not afraid of ten thousand, he is afraid of the worst!  The situation in Bosnia and Herzegovina was already turbulent. The Slavs, who accounted for the majority of the local population, had long been dissatisfied with the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Coupled with the instigation of the Kingdom of Serbia, Ferdinand I went there to review the army and show off force. This was tantamount to seeking death.  What's the difference!  Of course, perhaps Ferdinand I believed that the security forces of the Austro-Hungarian Empire were capable enough to ensure his safety!  However, such risky behavior still made Wang Yuze very dissatisfied!  After all, if Ferdinand I was killed, China's interests would also be greatly affected!

    "Yes, Your Majesty!" Marshal Cai Yun, Chief of General Staff, nodded.  If the war breaks out early, then the mobilization of China's army, navy and air force must be accelerated!  The plans that were drawn up before have to be accelerated one after another.  Of course, I believe the Germans will also be caught off guard.  At that time, if which side can complete mobilization first, it will have a great advantage!

    "Your Majesty! If Ferdinand I is really killed, shouldn't we hand over the next Austrian Emperor?" said General Wei Zhiyong, director of the Military Intelligence Bureau.  As long as the next Austrian emperor is still pro-China, then China's interests in the Austro-Hungarian Empire can be guaranteed!

    "Who is the next legal successor to the Austro-Hungarian Empire?" Wang Yuze asked.

    "Your Majesty, the next legal heir of the Austro-Hungarian Empire is Archduke Karl! Archduke Karl who is currently serving as the Grand Duchy of Habsburg in North America! He is the grandson of Archduke Karl Ludwig, brother of Emperor Franz Joseph I of Austria.  , the son of Otto Franz and Princess Josefa of Saxony. He is only 31 years old this year. After the Austro-Hungarian Americans established the Habsburg Grand Duchy, he went to North America to serve as the Grand Duke of the Habsburg Grand Duchy!" Wei Zhiyong enters  Said the general!

    "Didn't Ferdinand I have a son? Why is Archduke Karl the first heir?" Marshal Zhao Bowen, Minister of War, asked with some confusion!  In his opinion, Ferdinand I was the emperor of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, so his son should be the crown prince of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. How come in the end, the first heir to the throne became Archduke Karl!

    "Because Ferdinand I's wife, Sophie, the current Queen of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, had a low status and was a commoner, so their son has no right to inherit the throne!" General Wei Zhiyong explained!  As an ancient dynasty, the Habsburg dynasty attaches great importance to bloodline. Although intermarriage between noble and lowly people is not prohibited, the children they give birth to will not have the right to inherit!

    "Your Majesty, do we need to send someone to contact Archduke Karl?" Marshal Cai Yun, Chief of the General Staff, asked.

    "No need for now! If the assassination really happens, let's contact Archduke Karl again! Otherwise it will be self-defeating!" Wang Yuze said!

    ??Everyone nodded. If they had contacted Archduke Karl in advance, they might be considered to have participated in the assassination. China would be covered in yellow mud, and it would be shit or shit!

      ¡°In addition, give an order to the embassy in the Austro-Hungarian Empire and let them prepare! Once Ferdinand I is really assassinated and the situation becomes uncontrollable, find a way to save Ferdinand I¡¯s son.  Come out! Maybe you will need it in the future!" Wang Yuze said.  In this case, China can be prepared for both!  Although the son of Ferdinand I has no inheritance rights due to bloodline issues, if there is support from China, then all this will not be a problem!

    "Yes, Your Majesty!" General Wei Zhiyong said in command!  Most of the military attaches in the imperial embassies abroad have a close relationship with the Military Intelligence Bureau, and are even members of the Military Intelligence Bureau!  Give them orders without worrying about the news leaking!

    To the north of Belgrade, the capital of the Kingdom of Serbia, is the Danube River, which is also the dividing line between the Kingdom of Serbia and the Austro-Hungarian Empire!  Belgrade, located on the south bank of the Danube River, can be said to be completely within the heavy artillery range of the Austro-Hungarian Army!  As the Austro-Hungarian Empire began to gather troops on the border, Belgrade was already in panic. Many residents fled Belgrade with their families, for fear of being affected by the war!  Even though many Serbs are angry about the military invasion of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, most people are not optimistic about the Kingdom of Serbia!  Compared with the Austro-Hungarian Empire, the Kingdom of Serbia is too weak!  The Austro-Hungarian Empire, the third most powerful country in the world, can easily crush them!

    There was no joy at all for the Kingdom of Serbia on Christmas Day in 1918, and the whole country fell into panic!  The Austro-Hungarian Empire began to gather heavy troops on the northern and western borders, and artillery shells seemed likely to fall on their heads at any time!  This terrified the entire Kingdom of Serbia!

    In the Belgrade Palace, the current King Peter I of the Kingdom of Serbia is listening to the report of the army of the Kingdom of Serbia!  The Crown Prince of the Kingdom of Serbia and the Deputy Commander-in-Chief of the Army of the Kingdom of Serbia, Alexander Karagoorgijevic, was also listening!  Alexander Karageorgievich was the second son of Peter I. However, his brother was deprived of the right to inherit the throne in 1909, so he became the Crown Prince of the Kingdom of Serbia!

    "Your Majesty, the Austro-Hungarian Empire has now assembled 400,000 troops on the border. Many of these troops are elite troops who have participated in the world war. Even if compared with the world's first-class army, there may still be a gap, but they are still very powerful. And  , the Austro-Hungarian Empire has also assembled 4 armored brigades, with nearly a thousand tanks and armored vehicles. This will give the Austro-Hungarian Empire an extremely powerful assault capability! The terrain in the north of our country is flat. Once the Austro-Hungarian Empire breaks through the Danube Defense Line and  If we defend the Sava River defense line, we will have no danger! Therefore, I suggest that the main force be withdrawn to the southern mountainous area to avoid being attacked by the superior forces of the Austro-Hungarian Empire!" Ramilado Lu, Commander-in-Chief of the Army of the Kingdom of Serbia,  Marshal Tenik suggested!  Compared with the Austro-Hungarian Empire, the Kingdom of Serbia is completely at a disadvantage!

    "Are we going to abandon Belgrade?" Peter I asked with some shame.  In his opinion, abandoning the capital would be equivalent to the destruction of the country!

    "Your Majesty, a new world war is about to break out! We need to conserve our strength and wait until the war breaks out to look for opportunities again! If we have a decisive battle with the Austro-Hungarian Empire in Belgrade, we have almost no chance of winning!" Lamy  Marshal Lado Lutnik said!

    Peter I was silent for a while. Although he was unwilling to admit it, he knew that what Marshal Lamirado Lutnick said was the truth!

    "Father, Your Excellency Marshal, we may have other methods!" Crown Prince Alexander Karagorkievich said.

    "Alexander? What can we do?" Peter I asked quickly.

    ¡°We have received news that Ferdinand I will review the troops in Sarajevo soon!¡± Crown Prince Alexander Karagorkievich said!

    "Damn it! This is Ferdinand I showing off his force to us, trying to force us to surrender in order to achieve his goal of victory without a fight. The Kingdom of Serbia will never surrender to them!" Alexander Karagoorgi  Before Crown Prince Yevich finished speaking, he was angrily interrupted by Peter I!

    "Yes, father, we will not surrender to the Austro-Hungarian Empire! The Military Intelligence Agency has made a suggestion that we can assassinate Ferdinand I in Sarajevo! If successful, then the crisis encountered by the Kingdom of Serbia this time will be easily solved!" Alexander  .Crown Prince Karagorkievich said!  (To be continued.
