As the situation developed, Austria-Hungary became more and more tough on the issue of Bosnia and Herzegovina. Serbia's demand for compensation was also categorically rejected. This made Serbia very angry, and dissatisfaction with Austria-Hungary grew.

Russia, the biggest backer behind Serbia, is now busy convening an international conference to revise the Berlin Treaty and agree to open the Black Sea straits to Russian warships. After gaining the support of Austria-Hungary, Izwolisky went to European countries to lobby for support from Britain, France, and other countries for the Russian plan.

While Izwolsky was negotiating in France, on 7 October, Austria-Hungary officially announced the annexation of the provinces of Poland and Herzegovina to its territory.

One moment he was still negotiating with France to revise the Treaty of Berlin, and the next moment he got the news, Izvolsky was furious, "This is the Austro-Hungarians are all untrustworthy bastards." ”

In Izwolsky's vision, after the revision of the Berlin Treaty. Negotiations with Austria-Hungary were made to return the Serb areas of Bosnia and Herzegovina to Serbia, so that the Treaty of Berlin could be amended and the most loyal brother in the Balkans could be co-opted. It can also allow Izvorsky to be in front of Nicholas II and show his ability to be valued.

Now everything was ruined by the early annexation of Bosnia and Herzegovina by Austria-Hungary, and the revision of the Berlin Treaty has not yet been completed, so that Izvolsky can take something to appease Serbia. According to the temperament of Tsar Nicholas II, if he fails to achieve the set goal, then he will also be abandoned by the Tsar, and he can only be forced to resign and leave in disgrace.

How could this be acceptable to Izvolsky. Now we can only hope that Austria-Hungary will not be able to annex Bosnia and Herzegovina smoothly, which is also the only way for ourselves.

After Serbia received the news that Austria-Hungary had announced the annexation of Bosnia and Herzegovina, it also raised fierce opposition. They were all angry at Austria-Hungary and Serbian feelings.

Both the government and the military asked King Pyotr Karageorgovich to implement the previous plan. Because they all knew that if Austria-Hungary successfully annexed Bosnia and Herzegovina, the next step would be to be full of ambitions for Serbia. Faced with the already agitated people, King Peter I also announced the mobilization of the army in accordance with the will of the people, and at the same time asked Russia for help.

In St. Petersburg, Nicholas II also convened a meeting to discuss the impact of Austria-Hungary's annexation of Bosnia and Herzegovina on Russia.

"We must support Serbia, we can send officers to help the people of Bosnia and Herzegovina resist the Austro-Hungarian annexation, provide military supplies, and diplomatically not agree to Austria-Hungary." Foreign Minister Izvolsky, who had just been put on the table by Austria-Hungary, spoke his mind.

After Izwolsky made his proposal, Prime Minister Stolypin, who is known for his calmness and pragmatism, also voiced his thoughts. "Your Majesty, we must show Serbia that Russia supports them. Let Austria-Hungary feel the anger of Russia being ignored. ”

The ministers also spoke in unison to express the attitude that the Balkan issue cannot be disregarded by Russia. Faced with a high degree of unity of opinion among his ministers, Nicholas II ordered officers to be sent to help the Serbs in Bosnia and Herzegovina revolt against Austro-Hungarian rule.

After receiving a response from Russia, a large number of Serbian soldiers crossed the border to join the Bosnian Serb partisans.

Thirty kilometres from Sarajevo, the capital of Bosnia and Herzegovina, in a town called Rogatica, the people here are talking about what happened last night.

"You know, the guns rang out last night in the barracks stationed outside the town. I hid in the house and was scared. "An obese woman told her neighbor what happened last night.

"Who can sleep with such a big movement last night, I heard that some bold people ran near the barracks and saw a group of outsiders attacking the barracks." The neighbors also told the news they had gotten.

In the barracks, the commander of the Austro-Hungarian army, Captain Cassiludus, was also counting his losses. After the count, Captain Cassiludes looked at the list of losses in his hand and cursed angrily. "Damn Serbs, damn sentinels."

After the Austro-Hungarian annexation of Bosnia and Herzegovina, Captain Cassiludes' company was attacked several times, but the casualties were not large because the attackers were only a few and dissatisfied with the Serbian civilians annexed by Austria-Hungary.

This attack can be judged from both the technique and the marksmanship, which was carried out by the regular army, plus the laziness of the sentries. Let the attackers touch the side of the barracks, and if not one of the soldiers got up to go to the toilet, they would have suffered more casualties. Even so, 34 people were killed and 41 wounded, which is considered to be a third of the company's reimbursement.

"Sir, we've gathered the bodies of the attackers together." A soldier came over to the captain and said that Captain Cassiludes had come to the open space where the bodies were placed, surrounded by soldiers.

Second Lieutenant Drospan, the platoon commander, told the captain and company commander the results of his examination, "The company commander is as you expect, these people have thick calluses on their hands and index fingers, they are long-trained soldiers, and we also found that the military map is only a Scypriot version in the pockets of these people's clothes." They really don't have any worries. ”

"How many assailants' bodies have been recovered?" Captain Cassy Ludes asked.

"We found a total of 19 bodies, and the injured should have been taken away by them, but not too many." Ensign Drospan answered the captain's question.

Hearing the second lieutenant's answer, Captain Cassiludes felt a headache, such a proportion of losses could be fully imagined, and his commander had the appearance of Major Goodslow, nicknamed 'The Whisperer'. In fact, Captain Cassy Ludes was accurate.

After handing the report of the attack back to the battalion headquarters, Major Goodslow roared, saliva about to spray in his face. "You are a disgrace to our Austro-Hungarian servicemen. A group of attackers with only rifles rush into your barracks and happily go wild. And you, Captain Cassiludes, watched them break the ground and fly away, and you couldn't stop it. Please tell me Captain, you are not a disgrace to the military. ”

Faced with the loud voice of Major Goodslow that spread throughout the battalion headquarters, Captain Cassiludes could only bow his head and answer. "Disappointed the sir."

The captain's reply prompted another roar, "I don't want to hear your apology, what I need is to get you stupid." Of my four companies, Captain Cassy Ludes' company is the one that makes me stand out. Now go back to your company, and if there is such a casualty comparison, I will demote you to a soldier and clean my toilet every day. Get out of here now. ”

Captain Cassy Ludes saluted Major Goodslow, nicknamed 'The Whisperer', and walked out of the battalion. Major Goodslow thought about the captain's report and passed it on to his superiors. After many reports, the report of the attack was placed in front of the desk of the Chief of the General Staff of Conrad, along with the news of the attacks on the Austro-Hungarian troops in Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Seeing so many attacks in a short period of time, the Chief of the General Staff knew that there were Serbian and Russian shadows behind them, and he did not dare to slack off to report them to the Austro-Hungarian Emperor Franz Joseph.

"I know about this matter, what is your military's response?" The elderly emperor asked the Chief of the General Staff.

Chief of the General Staff Conrad had already had a plan to deal with it. "We plan to mobilize a large army to sweep Bosnia and Herzegovina repeatedly, and we are not afraid of Serbia. But Russia, which is standing behind it, we have to think about it. Russia has not yet recovered, but we in Austria-Hungary are still struggling to deal with it. ”

The old emperor understood that the military was now more afraid of Russia, and there was no way to do it, and Austria-Hungary had not taken advantage of it in several previous contests. It is also understandable that Germany wants to ask for help from its ally, who now has the title of the world's strongest army.

"It's better for you to suppress it first, you can't always ask for German help." The old emperor still wants to solve it himself first.

With the orders of the Austro-Hungarian Emperor Franz Joseph, a large number of troops marched into Bosnia and Herzegovina, and fierce fighting began with Serbian and Russian-funded partisans.
