Odessa does not dare to lose, this is the window of the Black Sea, and Konstantin's foreign aid by sea needs to be accessed from here. And the base of the Black Sea Navy is here, and if Odessa is lost, the foothold of the Black Sea Navy will be lost.

The main force of Dobroga is 300,000 Ural troops, and the mobilized local army of Dobroga is only 200,000, and the 500,000 troops disrupt the defense of Odessa, so that Konstantin has to send 300,000 troops here, making Kiev's defense even more stretched.

The situation in Northern Petersburg, with the mobilization and the arrival of two million reinforcements, with the superior strength of four million troops, finally blocked the advance of the Polish army, and established a defensive line in the Gulf of Riga, Lake Chud to the Valdai Heights, blocking the advance of the Polish army.

After stabilizing the situation, Russia's potential was still being released, and the Russian recruits were still being formed, and there were still two million reserves, while Konstantin's reserves had been drained, and in the absence of new reinforcements, he was doomed.

On the northern front, Zhao Rang's main force broke through the Russian highlands in an all-round way, and on the southern front, it broke through the Donetsk River and advanced to the Donetsk Ridge. After the central government broke through Kharkov, it advanced to the south and cut off the connection between Kiev and the southern coal and iron center.

In the event of a total defeat, the Austro-Hungarian intervention forces entered the war. There was no obstacle for Austria-Hungary to enter the war, since they had already declared that they recognized Konstantin as the legitimate monarch of Russia, and supporting Konstantin would be a peaceful rebellion for Austria-Hungary. The reason for whether Austria-Hungary entered the war or not was only a matter of interests, and it is clear that the Grand Duke of Konstantin ceded enough interests to the satisfaction of Austria-Hungary.

Watching the consequences of Konstantin's defeat too serious, Russia, ruled by the female tsar, has always been eyeing the western Ukrainian region, and has been trying to recover Volyn Oblast, Lviv and other places from Austria-Hungary. The last war took place in the Black Sea region, and Russia took away the principality of Moldova, but Austria-Hungary knew very well that Russia would try to recover Western Ukraine if it had the opportunity, so Austria-Hungary remained attached to Germany all these years. This support for the Constantine regime was also a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for Austria-Hungary, which would have been shrouded in the shadow of the Tsarist Empire's attack.

However, as a great power, Austria-Hungary's intervention caused more complex changes in the international situation.

This time, the Tsarina righteously demanded that France fulfill its obligations, and France took some actions, such as sending a strong protest to Austria-Hungary. However, the territory of Austria-Hungary today does not border France, and if France wants to attack Austria-Hungary, it is impossible unless it passes through the southwest of Germany, unless France directly attacks Germany.

According to the Franco-Russian alliance treaty, when Russia was attacked by Germany or Austria-Hungary, France would support it with all its forces, and the French gritted their teeth and announced that they would use their navy to blockade the waters of Austria-Hungary. But the army did not mobilize for the time being, so as not to provoke Germany. Obviously, France did not intend to fight a major war with the German-Austrian alliance, but it really did not want to turn its back on the Franco-Russian alliance.

Austria-Hungary, under the blockade of France, sent a request for help from Germany. Bismarck assured Austria-Hungary that Germany would fulfill its obligations as an alliance, but he asked Austria-Hungary whether it intended Germany to mobilize and then have the German-Austrian alliance engage in a decisive battle with France and Russia, or whether Germany would remain on guard and prevent only France from waging a ground war against Austria-Hungary.

Austria-Hungary was a little weak-minded at this time, he really did not dare to start a war with France, so he agreed with Bismarck that once the French navy landed in Austria-Hungary and excluded ground forces, Germany must mobilize, first deploy on the border, and consider participating in the war according to the situation.

Bismarck, through the British, made the French understand that it was enough to blockade Austria-Hungary and make a show, and if they really dared to send troops to land, it would mean a blow from the German army. Britain also did not support the French entering the war at this time, threatening France that if France entered the war, Britain would still support Germany and Austria.

Russia obviously couldn't help, and let France fight against Britain, Germany and Austria alone, and France didn't dare to take risks.

After the Austro-Hungarian Empire entered the war, the Balkan Empire soon made territorial claims to the Austro-Hungarian Empire, and the purpose of the establishment of the Balkan Empire was because Bulgaria among the imperial countries had the need to recover West Wallachia, and the Kingdom of Wallachia wanted to recover Transylvania and Moldova, and these lands were either in the hands of Russia or Austria-Hungary.

Diplomatic actions have been going on in various countries, and the tsar has promised the emperor of the Balkan Empire that she would hand over the dominion of the principality of Moldova to the other side on the condition that the Balkan Empire enter the war.

But if he could recover the territory without a war, the Balkan Emperor Zhou Chenggong was still willing, so he proposed to Austria-Hungary to return West Wallachia to the Balkan Empire, but Austria-Hungary refused, and even half of Wallachia refused to hand it over, not to mention the Transylvanian plateau under the rule of the Kingdom of Hungary, so there was only war. Having missed this opportunity, it was basically impossible to find an opportunity to recover land from Austria-Hungary and Russia without the intervention of the great powers and with allies to rely on.

So a week after Austria-Hungary sent troops to support Constantine, the Balkan Empire declared its entry into the war.

The Russian Civil War eventually developed into a scuffle, with the Tsaress's rule of Russia, the Ural Kingdom, and the Balkan Empire on the side, and the Russian part ruled by Constantine on the side of Poland and Austria-Hungary.

All of this was now in Bismarck's vision, as well as that of the Chinese diplomat Li Zhangtong, who, although he had not spoken directly to him, knew each other's aims.

But none of them have the ability to control the situation, and there are always some external factors that get out of control.

They thought that this war would only be confined to small countries, and that Austria-Hungary was the only great power among them, but unfortunately, there were too many forces that would not follow their layout.

And so the unexpected happened.

Greece's entry into the war was not an accident, but Italy's was an accident.

Following Greece, Italy made territorial claims to Austria-Hungary, and they demanded that Austria return the Venetian region they occupied, and after Austria-Hungary refused, Italy declared war on Austria-Hungary!

The already unified Italian army quickly stormed the empty area of Venice.

And Greece did not concentrate its forces on Wallachia, Transylvania and other places with Austria-Hungary as Bismarck and others envisioned, but sent a navy to quickly seize the Ionian Islands, which had been occupied by Austria-Hungary, and then easily captured Albania and announced the annexation of Albania to Greece.

Greece's annexation of Albania caused a strong protest from the British, and the British navy arrived in Greek waters to threaten, but the fleets of European companies appeared in the same sea area, and the confrontation between the two great powers of China and Britain took place.

The situation is moving out of control!
