It had been a few days since Viana received a plea for help from Szeged, but by this time most of the officials' attention was on the Russian Empire in the east, and only a few people were concerned about the situation in the south.

"Are you sure Ernst is in Szeged?"

Looking at her daughter, Archduchess Sophia looked incredible, she naturally knew what was going on with Szeged, but Archduke Ferdinand didn't say that his second son was also there. (The previous one was written as Sophie Archduchess I'm sorry, now correct!) ）

The Sophie Lord didn't expect that Archduke Ferdinand didn't tell his mother, and the Sophie Lord who understood what he had done wrong wanted to make up for, but the Sophia Archduchess was not an idle person, and her eyes were staring straight at her eldest daughter.

Turning his head slightly, the Sufi lord could only say frankly: "Ernst left Moravia on the day the Moravian Army Regiment was transferred to Vojvodina......

Archduchess Sophia said no more and went straight outside, she was a virtuous wife, gentle archduchess, she knew that her husband was busy at this time, but she could not sit idly by and ignore her son's affairs.

Although the Sophie Lord knew that it was not suitable for her mother to go out at this time, how could she stop the Archduchess Sophia? The Sophie County Lord, who understood the ending, simply stopped himself from preparing to stop the Archduchess Sophia, and looked at the ignorant Elena beside him with some secret hatred.

If he hadn't taken Elena to Moravia, maybe Ernst wouldn't have escaped the same trip to Szeged, and there wouldn't have been the same thing!

The girl's mind is the most difficult to guess, maybe the relationship was good a second ago, but the relationship between the two broke up in an instant, and now the Sophie Lord and Elena are not to the extent of a break, but there is also a small rift.

The Austro-Plenum Army Staff, when Archduke Ferdinand saw Archduchess Sophia coming in a hurry, understood what was happening, and he was not prepared to hide it for long, but it was also a little unprepared to catch Archduke Ferdinand off guard so quickly.

The staff officers of the staff are also smart people, and they naturally know about Ernst being trapped in Szeged, and Archduke Ferdinand is hiding the matter of the female archduke of Sophia, but who doesn't know what this looks like now?

The staff officers left the war room very interestingly, and there were only two people left in the room, Archduke Ferdinand and Archduchess Sophia, even if they were flustered and angry, but Archduchess Sophia still showed her usual gentle side, and greeted the staff officers one by one before looking at Archduke Ferdinand.

"I'm sorry, Sophia!"

Archduke Ferdinand looked apologetic, he knew that Archduchess Sophia was angry not only at his deception, but also at the fact that he did not rescue Szeged.

"There's really no way?"

Archduchess Sophia took a deep breath, quarreling was not the goal, she just hoped that Ernst could come back safely, and everything else Archduchess Sophia didn't care.

Shaking his head firmly, Archduke Ferdinand said: "Russia has 130,000 border guards on the border, and now it has increased to 180,000, and the only thing I can do is to give Ragnar the right to govern the local army in southern Hungary, but I can't guarantee whether I can command it." ”

The siege of Szeged, to put it mildly, Hungary does not know what to do in the future, how can the nobles allow their power to be weakened at this moment?

After all, the Austro-Hungarian Empire was not the German Empire, the emperor did not have much influence on the local area, and if it were not for this, the Austrian Empire would not have become a dual empire like the Austro-Hungarian Empire.

"My poor Ernst, who was brought to the Vatican since childhood, was deported to Moravia just after his return, and is now trapped in Szeged, is it ......"

The tears of the Archduchess Sophia have been left between the words, she is a mother after all, how can she not worry about her son who is now in deep danger, how can she not be angry?

With such a wife's appearance, the only thing Archduke Ferdinand could do was to embrace her in his arms, and while comforting her softly, no one saw Archduke Ferdinand's reddish eyes.

January 8 at 6 p.m

The battle for the Seged Guard Headquarters had been going on for three hours, and at first the snipers killed the Lieutenant Colonel of the opposing Provisional Command, and the rebels were a little panicked, but soon regained their strength and continued the attack.

The casualties on both sides were relatively heavy in three hours, but the casualties were naturally greater than those of the defenders, but the numerical victories began to favor the rebels.

"We're running out of ammunition."

These were the first words of a staff officer after entering the door, and at this time, the staff officers no longer had the same straight and clean military uniforms as before, but the white faces of the past were black marks caused by gunsmoke and dust.

For 3 hours, this is the headquarters rather than the military warehouse, and the ammunition can hold out until now It is very rare, and when you look out the window, the rebel sprint is launched again......

"Lieutenant General Ragnar once said about reinforcements, where is the nearest city to here?"

Seeing Ernst talking about reinforcements, the staff officer naturally understood that the city in Ernst's mouth was not an ordinary city, but the kind with a garrison.

"Subotica!"

"Subotica?"

"Yes, where there are about 3000 garrisons, and the person in charge is a member of the Page family."

Even Ernst had heard of the Page family, which existed in the Middle Ages, and they had a lot of influence in Hungary, and even now the Prime Minister of Hungary is the son-in-law of the Page family.

"If nothing else, Lieutenant General Ragnar should be in Subotica and pass on the news here!"

"So what are you doing here......"

The Page family is a member of the Karl family, so there is this question from the staff officer, and he does not dare to guarantee that if the other party learns that Ernst is here, he will suddenly cancel the rescue of Szeged.

Why were the staff officers and Ernst convinced that there was a rescue? If Lieutenant General Ragnar is really in Subotica, then he has not returned for so long can only mean one thing - things have basically been settled. Of course, if Lieutenant General Ragnar is not there, then everything is in vain.

Why did the opportunity to break out of the encirclement not be given to Ernst, but Ragnar to leave himself? The main reason was Ernst's age and status.

Breaking out of the encirclement is a matter of life and death, once Ernst has something to do, Lieutenant General Ragnar can not afford that responsibility, but if Szeged falls, then not to mention that the probability of Ernst being killed is very low, even if he is killed, then the relationship with Lieutenant General Ragnar is not very great.

Military generals are not fools, if they can't even see through this, then they won't stay in their current position, and generals who only know how to fight without moving politics will not live long after all.

After the identity is finished, it is a matter of age, Lieutenant General Ragnar is from the military, and his breakthrough can be the same as a seven-year-old child's breakthrough?

To put it simply, in that position, Lieutenant General Ragnar could only risk a trip to Subotica to solve the Szeged crisis, while Ernst had a success rate of less than 10% and a very high mortality rate, while staying in the command was much safer.
