In the early morning of May 7, 1917, the Luftwaffe attacked London, only this time it was not a bomb, but a more powerful leaflet!

"Have you eaten enough today? But even if you don't have enough to eat, it doesn't matter, the politicians are already full of food and drink anyway!

The capitalists are still piling up a mountain of food, and you are still hungry, do you think the world is very unfair?

Don't worry, this is just the beginning, your lives are worthless in the eyes of politicians!

If you don't work overtime honestly, maybe they will send you to the battlefield as cannon fodder, you must know that the cost of cannon fodder is lower than your salary, so think about your heart is much more balanced?

Look, your treatment is not the lowest, the idiots who are sent to the front line are!

Politicians say it's defending the British Empire, but in reality you'll find that it's just a war of aggression provoked by politicians in order to make the capitalists make war money!

As for the country? Does she need you to protect her? The answer is clear only to you! Anyway, you are only defending the capitalists who exploit you and the politicians who oppress you!

Oh, and a final word of war, life is your own, and this country is the capitalists, the aristocracy, and the politicians!

Cherish life away from factories, stations, warehouses and docks, otherwise you will bear all the consequences! ”

The Germans had waged a propaganda war in an attempt to use the anti-war faction within Britain to force concessions from the London government.

The German leaflets were still very powerful, and at least the anti-war demonstrations on the streets of London had increased a lot.

After all, the stomach does not lie, due to the wanton plundering of German submarines, the grain reserves of the British have fallen to an all-time low, and the price of grain has risen to the sky.

As a last resort, the London government can only implement the rationing system, but unfortunately this is only for the common people, capitalists, nobles and lords are still delicacies from the mountains and seas, and the standard of living has not been lowered at all!

Of course, the Germans did not only target the British, they also airdropped leaflets to France, Russia, and Bulgaria, but the results were not very good!

The French were busy preparing for the defense of Paris, and the French government said very decisively: If you want to stop the war, you Germans will evacuate France first, as long as you withdraw your troops everything is negotiable! And then the French people were satisfied!

Well, it is impossible for the Hindenburg government to withdraw its troops because of the promises of the French, and whoever believes the promises of the politicians will have a water in his head!

The government of St. Petersburg did not react at all, and the tsarist government acted as if it had not seen the leaflets of the Germans.

As for the anti-government forces in Russia, they have gained a treasure and some more propaganda material, and as for the uprising, this time is not yet ripe.

When Bulgarians receive the leaflets, their first reaction is surprise? We're not starving, are we? And what war of aggression? Are we fighting a war for national reunification?

Far from factories, stations, docks, warehouses? Did the Germans have a brain in water? If we don't work, what do we eat?

It has to be said that the distance is also an advantage, and the Germans were able to drop the leaflets over it was already a super-level performance, and the pilots who were responsible for distributing the leaflets at the cost walked into the prisoner of war camp.

As for sending the Air Force to bomb? Who to scare? Do you have it? Unless all the soldiers sent are dead, there is no need to return!

Well, I have to admire the level of propaganda of the Germans, what a scumbag!

Anyway, if you modify it according to local conditions, what works for the British must be effective for other countries?

Besides, it was too late for the Germans to start a propaganda war, and if it had been at the beginning of the war, there might have been unexpected gains, and now everyone is preparing to reap the fruits of victory!

……

The Vienna Royal Palace, where the Austro-Hungarian military and political leaders gathered, the last moment has come, and the patience of the Entente is about to reach the limit, or rather, the patience of Bulgaria has reached the limit!

The Austro-Hungarian Prime Minister was embarrassed and said: "In the last three days, Vienna has been heavily bombed by the enemy's air force, and now 89 factories, 3 stations, and 68 warehouses have been devastated, causing more than 20,000 casualties, and the whole Vienna has become panicked!"

If the war continues, the enemy's bombing range will probably continue to expand, and now the normal order in Vienna can hardly be maintained, the streets and alleys are plastered with anti-war slogans, and the anti-war sentiment of the people has accumulated to a critical point! ”

There was no way to do this, and seeing that the Allies were about to fail, the power groups in Austria-Hungary were naturally unwilling to be buried with the Allies.

Needless to say, everyone knows that most of the so-called anti-war activities are manipulated by these people behind the scenes, in order to put pressure on the government to withdraw from this war as soon as possible, which can be regarded as their stop loss!

As soon as the Prime Minister's words were finished, the Chief of the General Staff, Conrad, continued: "Not only these, but militarily we can't fight anymore, two-thirds of the territory of Austria-Hungary has fallen, and our war potential has fallen to an all-time low!"

We can't fight this war anymore, and if the enemy wants, in two months at most, they can turn Austria-Hungary into history!

The Germans were not much better off than we were, and in the face of the all-out counterattack of the Entente, they could not hold out for long, whether it was the Russians or Bulgaria, as long as one of them attacked Germany proper, then the outcome of this war was already doomed!

And judging from the current situation, it is only a matter of time before they push all the way through! Although the German Army is the first in the world, they still cannot face the siege of the four major powers! ”

The Secretary of War questioned: "Your Excellency Chief of the General Staff, are you too pessimistic, now the Germans' submarines have blockaded the British Isles, and their land forces have also hit the outskirts of Paris!"

As long as they conquered Paris, the French would have lost their will to fight, and the British would have a good chance of compromising with the Germans if they did not want to go hungry.

Once Britain and France give up, then most of the Bulgarian Russians will also choose to stop the war, after all, they are not sure to defeat the Germans!

So this war is far from despairing, the Allies still have a good chance of winning, and we can't give up like this! ”

Conrad said coldly: "Don't forget that you are talking about Germany, not Austria-Hungary!"

There is only one way in which the Germans can defeat the Anglo-French forces, and that is for us to desperately hold Russia and Bulgaria for them!

Didn't you, my Minister of War, think about the consequences? Once defeated, Austria-Hungary ceased to exist!

Moreover, even the Austro-Hungarian Empire in its heyday could not face the two great powers of Bulgaria and Russia at the same time! Do you dare to think that this is an intention for our soldiers to die for the Germans? ”

The Minister of War said-for-tat: "In order to win the war, it is inevitable to pay some price, no matter how many losses we pay, we can make up for it after the war!" ”

The prime minister slapped the table and said angrily: "Bastard! Don't forget that you are the Minister of War of Austria-Hungary, and now we have to think about the future of Austria-Hungary, not our national fortunes for the sake of the illusory opportunity of the Germans!

The Germans won the war, and it did not mean that Austria-Hungary won the war!

Now that the Kingdom of Hungary has defected, if we don't make the right choice, there will be no Austro-Hungarian Empire after the war!

Even if the enemy does not come to carve up Austria-Hungary, we will not have the strength to continue to maintain the rule of the country, and Austria-Hungary will not be able to fight anymore! ”

……

The main war faction and the main peace faction quarreled, and the Vienna government could not make up its mind until a piece of news came.

"Your Majesty, the defeat of the German army on the Eastern Front has abandoned Ukraine, the Russians have come towards the Bohemian region, General Vitolik of the front asks for support!" An attendant hurried from outside and interrupted the arguing.

Well, one Bulgaria alone is enough, and now there is one more woolly bear, how can this battle be fought?

If the Russians could not be stopped, it would only be a matter of a week from Bohemia to Vienna, but the question was whether Austria-Hungary still had an army.

The answer is no, the main forces are fighting with the Bulgarians, and they are already at a disadvantage, if they divide their troops to reinforce the Eastern Front, it is estimated that in a few days they will let the Bulgarian Russians join Vienna!

What the? Didn't you say that the Bulgarians were going to attack southern Germany now? But plans are just plans, and they can be changed at any time as long as the war requires them!

Besides, people can still divide their troops! If the two countries join forces, they can easily take out the half-defeated Austro-Hungarian Empire without exerting all their strength, so can they worry about the enemy?

Ferdinand II said coldly: "Okay, I have decided to withdraw from the Central Powers and join the Entente, and now the Ministry of Foreign Affairs will immediately draft a message."

At the same time, the government must do a good job of coordination, and after we join the Entente, the railways and roads must be open to the Bulgarians!

At the same time, a part of the troops will be transferred to the Bohemian region, and don't let the Russians take advantage of the loopholes! ”

In the face of the existential crisis, Ferdinand II finally showed his decisive side, he could no longer care about the life or death of the Germans, and it was already God blessing to be able to keep Austria-Hungary!

The defense of the Russians was inevitable, and who told them that in the negotiations with the Entente, they had reached an agreement with the British, French and Bulgarians, but the negotiations with the Russians had not progressed?

In this case, if you leave a gap for the woolly bears to occupy Bohemia directly, it will be difficult to get it back after the war!

Now that Bulgaria is full, as long as everyone agrees, nothing will happen, and the Russians have not yet eaten? At this time, if you give it to you, do you want to get it back?

Ferdinand II made the final decision, and many people breathed a sigh of relief. In their opinion, in any case, jump out of the giant pit of the Allies first!

There are also many people who are very disappointed, they still want to gamble again, after all, they are very unwilling to admit defeat now, but since the withdrawal from the allies has become a foregone conclusion, there is no need for everyone to continue to struggle.

Of course, this is also based on the premise that the Germans are about to finish, otherwise these fanatical pro-militants will most likely choose to solve the problem with a coup d'état!

……

On May 21, 1917, Austria-Hungary announced its withdrawal from the Central Powers, and the next day it joined the Entente at the invitation of the Entente, and a new page in world history began!
