Schoenbrunn Palace in Vienna, Franz Joseph I is holding a cabinet meeting to discuss how Austria and Hungary will respond to the war between Serbia and Bulgaria!

His Majesty, "Serbians already know that they are in a hurry. It seems that they are not sure about this war!" Foreign Minister Roman Haubstock-Rama said gleefully.

"This is normal. Only nine years have passed since the last Bulgarian war. Serbia has not recovered. Until now, Bulgaria has become stronger. The difference in strength between the two sides is too great. This war cannot be fought at all!" Say

"You mean, if we don't step in, Serbia is defeated this time?" The Prime Minister asked with interest.

"Just judging from the military, I can't think of how Serbia might win, of course, if there are other countries participating, it may be impossible!"

"This may hardly exist! The major powers have restrained each other. Even if they support Serbia, other countries except us have limited power in the Balkans and do not have the power to intervene!" The Foreign Minister added

The Prime Minister asked in confusion: "What about the Ottoman Empire? Their strength in the Balkans is not small. Is it possible to intervene?"

The Minister of Foreign Affairs thought for a while and said, "The Ottoman Empire is now overwhelmed. The problem of killing Armenians some time ago has not been resolved. The Sudan has rejected our" good intentions! "It is now overwhelmed by self-care and international pressure that makes them afraid to act rashly. !!

The Russians had previously invited countries to join forces to intervene, but we rejected it! Even if Ottoman wants to support Serbia, it is necessary to consider whether the Russian Empire will join in!

Actually, except for us, basically, no other country will shoot directly!

I seem to have some ideas about Romania, but Carroll I was too brave, unless we were willing to come forward to restrain the Russians, otherwise they would not dare to intervene! "

Franz Joseph I seemed interested in the words of the Minister of Foreign Affairs and asked: "If we hold back the Russian Empire and Romania enters the war, what will happen?"

The Minister of the Army thought for a while and said, "If Romania can fully unite with Serbia, this war still has to fight!"

Franz Joseph I asked in surprise: "Oh, Bulgaria has grown to this point?"

"In fact, Serbia is now half disabled, and the country is in a mess. It has just settled the rebellion. It is acceptable to stay out of the way. There is no ability to take the initiative! If Romania participates in the war now, it is basically singled out with Bulgaria. Serbia can help at most. Retain 20,000 or 30,000 troops! "Explained the Secretary of the Army

The Minister of Foreign Affairs asked incredulously: "Is Serbia not expanding its army? It is said that it is a national mobilization, they plan to mobilize 300,000 people. Even if there is not much fighting power, it can not be blocked by the number of 20,000 or 30,000 Bulgarian troops?"

The Minister of the Army shook his head and said, "No, Mr. Roman! If they are only used to guard, they may still have some fighting power under the call of righteousness to defend the country; if they take the initiative, they may collapse when they start the war!

An army that can't even match every soldier with a gun. Maybe there is not enough ammunition to support a big war. The combat effectiveness can be imagined! "

At this time, the Minister of Finance said: "The Secretary of the Army is right! The Serbian government's finances are terrible, and it has no money now! The 300,000 army, whether it is weapons or equipment, or military puppets, cannot afford it!"

Franz Joseph I was wondering, the situation in Serbia was much worse than he thought! In this case, why are you so arrogant and establish a "Great Serbia"?

不 Don't you know that Bosnia and Herzegovina is already the meat in the mouth of the boss, and has publicly announced that he wants to steal food?

He thought for a while and said, "Forget it! Since Serbs are so unaware of life and death, let Bulgaria teach them a blood lesson!"

Tell Bulgarians to act as promised! The army must also be prepared, the play must be complete, and don't let people see the flaws! "

Uh ...

Russian Empire, Alexander III who is walking around is very bad now!

"The crisis in the Near East" has not yet been resolved, and Ottoman Turkey can't see the slightest sign of submission; the "Eastern Sino-Japanese War" in the Far East broke out again and attracted his attention; now the younger brother of Bulgaria seems to be planning to do something again!

世 Alexander III asked unhappyly: "What do you think of this conflict between Bulgaria and Serbia?"

The prime minister said with a smile: "The Bulgarians did not ask us for help this time, but just hope that we can support the international community. It seems they are confident!

Of course, this is related to the rapid development of Bulgaria in recent years. They can't bear it anymore and want to show their strength!

矛盾 Bulgaria and Serbia have a long history of conflicts ~ lightnovelpub.net ~ The two sides have long been intolerable, and it is expected that there will be a war between them! Just didn't expect it to be so early? "

三 Alexander III looked at the crown prince and asked: "What do you think about Nicholas?"

Crown Prince Nicholas smiled and said, "Ferdinand's vision is still so spicy! Serbia is now the weakest, and he has taken the opportunity to settle the stone, and he intends to abolish this opponent!"

三 Alexander III nodded with a smile and motioned him to continue.

The future Nicholas II was slightly surprised and continued: "The current international situation is very beneficial to Bulgaria!

The Austro-Hungarian Empire has just weathered the financial crisis, and it is unlikely that it will directly send troops to interfere; the Ottoman Empire is trapped in the 'Near East Crisis' and is considered dead by major powers; Britain, France and Germany have limited power in the Balkans. Say they can't make it for irrelevant Serbia!

After excluding external interference, Serbia is not an opponent at all, but once Bulgaria wins, the Austro-Hungarian Empire will certainly interfere. Have they reached an agreement? "

三 Alexander III smiled and said, "Yes! Although Serbia is the younger brother of Austria-Hungary, it does not mean that there is no contradiction between the two sides. The young king of Serbia used the slogan of establishing" Great Serbia "all day, and Vienna would not be satisfied!

If you can, Vienna doesn't mind teaching Serbia to let them know the heights and heights!

Ferdinand should have reached a tacit understanding with them, even this war may have been secretly planned by Joseph's old fox!

The political means of the Hardenborg family have won the world. Presumably soon, Serbia will be forced to go to the Austro-Hungarian Empire! "
