"Your Excellency, what the hell is going on? Could it be that something happened in the Austro-Hungarian Empire? Secretary of State Brian asked.

After all, as the president of a country, it is undoubtedly inappropriate to insult the emperors of other countries in this way. Even if everyone doesn't say it, it will have a very bad impact on the reputation of the United States.

"Something has really happened to Austria-Hungary. As soon as the German offensive began, the Grand Duke of Bohemia issued an order for all Bohemian troops to lay down their arms and surrender to the Germans. The German army in the entire Kingdom of Bohemia did not encounter any resistance at all. Now, they are rapidly advancing towards Austria! "Woodrow? President Wilson said.

"The Germans bought the Grand Duke of Bohemia, and they must have made some kind of agreement in private. Most likely, the Germans promised to support the independence of the Kingdom of Bohemia after the defeat of Austria-Hungary. Only then would the Grand Duke of Bohemia betray Austria-Hungary. Brian analyzed.

Woodrow? President Wilson nodded: "It's a possibility. It's just that it's too late to say this, and it doesn't make any sense. The betrayal of the Kingdom of Bohemia greatly weakened the Austro-Hungarian Empire. This battle will probably be difficult for Austria-Hungary to fight. ”

"Your Excellency, the Kingdom of Bohemia is not very powerful in the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Excluding the Kingdom of Bohemia, Austria-Hungary still has eighty percent of its strength. If they play well, they are not unable to resist the Germans. Secretary of War Garrison said.

"My fear is that since the Kingdom of Bohemia has gone wrong. Then the other states of Austria-Hungary will certainly have problems as well. After all, if the Germans were to buy it, they couldn't just buy the Kingdom of Bohemia. The Kingdom of Hungary, as well as the other states of Austria-Hungary, were certainly also targets for German bribery. If all those states had betrayed Austria-Hungary, then the entire Austro-Hungarian Empire would have fallen apart. This battle, they will lose. And it's going to be lost very quickly! "Woodrow? President Wilson said.

"Those nations aren't going to betray them all, are they? After all, the Austro-Hungarian Empire had been around for half a century. No matter how stupid Karl I was, he should have known to control those states! Secretary Garrison said.

"It's very hard to say! All in all, the current situation in Austria-Hungary is very bad. This time, we are afraid that our plan will fail. "Woodrow? President Wilson lamented.

The high-ranking officials of the US government cabinet are not looking good one by one. You know, they invested $200 million in order to set up this game. That's real money, and if Austria-Hungary fails, the $200 million will be wasted. In other words, if Austria-Hungary loses quickly, then their two hundred million dollars will be too worthless.

Finance Minister McAdoo was even more glad that the billion-dollar interest-free loan promised to Austria-Hungary had not yet been paid. Otherwise, their losses will be great.

It wasn't long before the secretary pushed the door open again and walked in.

"Is it bad news again?" Woodrow? President Wilson asked.

The secretary nodded: "Yes, Your Excellency." ”

"Well, it looks like today is a bad day!" Woodrow? President Wilson said.

"The Kingdom of Hungary declares its neutrality in this war. The Prime Minister of the Hungarian government even openly declared that he would not pay for the stupidity of Karl I. The Chief of Staff of the Hungarian Army, Baron Tobres, ordered all Hungarian troops to stay in the barracks and not go out until the end of the war. The secretary said.

"Hell! Hungary is not Bohemia, they are much stronger than Bohemia. Their strength already accounts for one-third of the entire Austro-Hungarian Empire! The Kingdom of Hungary was neutral, and there was no need for Austria-Hungary to continue fighting. Because, it doesn't make sense at all. The betrayal of the Kingdom of Bohemia and the Kingdom of Hungary directly cost Austria-Hungary half of its strength. It was impossible for them to withstand the German attack. Secretary Garrison said, shaking his head.

"The Germans must have been planning for a long time, otherwise it would not have been possible to directly turn the Kingdom of Bohemia and the Kingdom of Hungary against each other in such a short period of time." Brian said.

"I suddenly had the feeling that the Germans had long been preparing to attack Austria-Hungary. It's just that I haven't found a suitable excuse. Now we are agitating Austria-Hungary to withdraw from the alliance, giving the German Empire exactly a pretext. "Woodrow? President Wilson said.

For a while, the senior officials of the US government cabinet were speechless one by one. And if everything is like Woodrow? If President Wilson said that, then the Germans must be terrible.

"Gentlemen, it seems that Austria-Hungary will not last long. This time, we lost again to the Germans. After the defeat of Austria-Hungary by the Germans, the threat on their side would be lifted. And their strength will increase a lot again. What we will have to face in the future is an even more difficult opponent. "Woodrow? President Wilson said.

The other cabinet ministers nodded their heads. Everyone thought that it would be even more difficult to defeat Germany.

"Your Excellency, or a telegram from Austria-Hungary!" The secretary walked in again.

"Read it!" Woodrow? President Wilson has lost much hope.

"The kingdoms of Dalmatia, Croatia-Novonia, and other states have declared their neutrality, and their armies are not subject to the central government of Austria-Hungary. In addition, the Austrian army on the front line also collapsed without a fight. The secretary said.

"It seems that Austria-Hungary is clearly a country with a strong foreign power and a strong middle force. We've all been deceived by them! Brian said.

"Yes! They are one of the world's powers, or the victor of the last world war, but they didn't expect it to be like this in the end. Secretary Garrison said.

These ministers of the U.S. Cabinet were very disappointed with the performance of Austria-Hungary this time. Originally, they were expecting a fierce war between Austria-Hungary and Germany. But now it seems that this is simply their luxury.

"Your Excellency, what about the fleet?" Minister Daniels asked.

"Let's take the fleet around the Eastern Atlantic! Try not to get into a conflict with the Germans. "Woodrow? President Wilson said.
