"Ruprecht, Ferdinand went to Bosnia-Herzegovina. He really misses Serbia www.biquge.info, and it seems that the future war is likely to start in Serbia. And this time it seems that he will not be returning to Vienna anytime soon. "In the Prague Palace, the former residence of the King of Bohemia, Princess Mary handed over the latest news of the empire to Ruprecht. Then he said.

"Really? Is there anything new in Vienna? Ruprecht asked, turning around.

"The front in Galicia and the Carpathians to the east will be in charge of Conrad. The Bohemia-Moravian front is yours, while Crown Prince Ferdinand seems to be in charge of the Balkan front. Princess Mary thought for a moment and said.

"Until now, Fritz is still preparing for a war on two fronts?" Ruprecht shook his head and said. It was already 1911, although the preparation of the Austro-Hungarian Legion had been similar in recent years, for example, two of the Navy's four Combined Forces-class battleships had already been commissioned, and the remaining one would join the naval sequence at the end of 1911, and the Austro-Hungarian fleet and the Turkish Navy had also reached a cooperation agreement. The maritime situation in the Mediterranean is much better.

In terms of the army, Austria-Hungary also activated its own armament system in advance, at least on the Austrian side, the equipment level of the Austro-Hybrian army is better than in history, so that after the outbreak of World War 1, it is necessary to push bronze artillery to the front line, although the number of heavy artillery is still scarce, but at least the three-inch rapid-fire guns and machine guns at the division level have been redundant with the Russians. As for the Hungarian side, although their equipment has not changed much, their troops have increased to a certain extent.

But even so, Ruprecht was still not optimistic about the situation of the Austro-Hungarian army, because while the Austro-Hungarian army was stronger than it was historically, the Russian army on the opposite side became stronger. The Russians could not hide from anyone the movement of a large number of Poles at all, and the increase in the border troops was also seen by the Allies, and even Moltke felt a little numb in his head when he looked at the long string of numbers and numbers on the intelligence.

On more than one occasion in his letters to Ruprecht, he mentioned the question of Russian forces in Poland, and while asking whether the Bavarian Army could accomplish its intended mission, he also asked that in the event of a crisis in the East Prussian Army, Ruprecht could first help his German colleagues and then take care of the Austro-Hungarian ....... After all, in Moltke's planning, the Eighth Army had to face two Russian armies, the former was about the same size as it was historically, but the latter seemed to have increased a lot, and the infantry divisions were expected to exceed 20!

And when the Russians increased their troops in a big way, and even Moltke felt that the Eastern Front was not so stable, Austria-Hungary still wanted to clean up on both sides, which was a bit of a suspicion of death. As a good son-in-law of Fritz, Ruprecht has repeatedly mentioned that the Austro-Hungarian army should be concentrated and block the first wave of Russian attacks, but none of them succeeded, so that the prince wondered, where did the Austrian emperor get so much confidence?

"It's actually more of a political purpose, Ferdinand wants to make enough political capital to come to power in this war, and what capital can be better than destroying a country on the battlefield? Kaiser Wilhelm II had already set the date for September 1912. Ferdinand may have wanted to get rid of Serbia before the outbreak of the Great War. Princess Mary thought for a moment and said.

"It was all a fantasy that if Austria-Hungary had acted against Serbia, Russia would inevitably enter the war, and Russia's entry into the war would inevitably lead to a total confrontation between the Entente and the Central Powers. Even if the Russians are not ready, they will still fight this war! Ruprecht sighed, it seems that everything needs to be prepared in advance, and perhaps, by September next year, war will break out.

"Do you think Ferdinand can beat Serbia in the Balkans?" Princess Mary asked.

"If nothing else, I'm afraid not. Although his strength has two corps on paper, the equipment and full manning rate are always far from ideal, and of course, more importantly, I have never had much hope for the Austro-Hungarian army, really, I am not joking, nor do I mean to make you angry. Looking at Her Royal Highness the Princess, who had already pursed her lips to express her dissatisfaction, Ruprecht could only express his apologies again and again. But even so, it is impossible for him to say against his will how strong the Austro-Hungarian army is.

In fact, Fritz really wanted to start the war in advance, to solve the thorn in the side of Serbia before the outbreak of the war, and in his letter to the Austrian and German Kaiser, he wrote: "The Russians have not yet completed the final preparations for war, and if it were only a war between Austria-Hungary and Serbia, the Russians would not dare to intervene, so why should we not deal with an important enemy before the war begins?" ”

If you want to ask if there is any truth in this, it must be reasonable, after all, it has only been 5 years since the end of the Russo-Japanese War, and the Russians have indeed not fully recovered their energy. In the eyes of the Central Powers, the Russians were eighty percent sure that they would not go to war with Germany and Austria at the same time because of the Serbian issue, but how to say that not going to war did not mean that the Russians had not thought of countermeasures.

In a room on the outskirts of Belgrade, the windows were covered with gray curtains, and on a table in the middle of the room was covered with a black tablecloth, on the left of which was a book, and on the right was a pistol loaded with bullets.

"For the national independence and unity of Yugoslavia! We will give everything we have! The members sitting around the table shouted. And the person sitting in the right position, always hiding himself in the shadows, raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet.

"Now that the Yugoslav nation has reached its most critical moment, the demons from the north want to start a war while our motherland is still weak, and our allies to the east are hesitating with the swords of the Germans, so we need to act to strangle the war of the enemy in the north in the cradle!" The leader said in a resolute tone.

"Fritz must die, he is the commander of the Austro-Plenum, as long as he dies, then the entire Austro-Hungarian corps will be leaderless, all the crises facing Serbia will be solved, and in a few years, with the support of the allies in the east, the establishment of Greater Serbia is just around the corner! History will prove that everything we do is worth it! "So, an assassination plot began to brew in Belgrade, and this plot even turned into a storm that swept the entire Balkans and even the world!

The third is more present~~~! War is about to break out!! (To be continued.) )
