When she heard the knock on the door, Sissi was looking at the portrait of her grandfather hanging in the carriage.

"Come in."

After the girl's voice fell, the old butler pushed the door into the special carriage and stood by the door—the position was completely in accordance with the rules of royal etiquette, and there was not a single deviation.

"Miss, telegram from the front, Yabrod has been conquered, and the fifth division of the First Army has been completely annihilated. It no longer makes sense for us to continue to Yabrod for reinforcements. ”

As soon as Sissi's hand was forced, she directly crushed the cup in her hand, and blood dripped down her palm and fell onto the table. The old housekeeper's face did not change, and he was probably accustomed to the emotional expression of Sissi's anal fissure. Sissi's face did not change either, calmly picking up the handkerchief and wiping the flowing blood, in just a few seconds, the wound on her hand had stopped bleeding, and the edge of the cut skin could see the white edge - it was a little new flesh that had just grown.

Sisi was born in Croatia, and the goddesses born in Croatia are generally resilient and transform on full moon nights.

"What about the reaction of the generals?" Sissi asked as she gathered the pieces on the table with a bloodied handkerchief in her hand.

"They ordered the train to switch heads at the next station and return to Zagreb the same way."

"I disagree!" Sissi interrupted the butler loudly, "This car has everything necessary to support me in battle, let's drive directly to Yabrod and then enter the battle!" Let the armies around Yabrod support me! We will be able to retake this railway transfer station in 48 hours! ”

"Miss," said the old butler, "in fact, the army has not completed its deployment around Yabrod at all, and the annihilated Fifth Division is not even heavily equipped. ”

"What......"

"The mobilization plan developed by the General Staff exceeds the carrying capacity of our railway system."

Sissi's expression was unusually complicated, she sighed softly, and her gaze turned to the portrait of her grandfather hanging on the wall of the train car.

"In the last war, Germany spent six weeks on the Western Front to assemble 1.3 million troops of seven armies and related baggage, but this time we only mobilized 300,000 troops, and as a result, six weeks have passed, and the transfer has not been completed!"

"Mademoiselle, I think that's why Germany was able to recover so quickly after the end of the war, while we were in a state of collapse." The butler told the cruel truth without changing his face.

Sissi's mood immediately fell, she sighed again, and said in a sentimental tone: "If our country had an industrial system as powerful as Germany in the last war, maybe grandpa would not have been called a fool and become the laughing stock of everyone." ”

The old butler hesitated for a moment, and then he said, "I don't think it will have much of an impact." ”

Sissi's forehead was bulging with veins and her teeth were rattling, but she relaxed her clenched fists at the end.

"You're right," she agreed, with a weary face, her eyes still fixed on the wall of the Austro-Hungarian Field Marshal Franz? Conrad? Feng? Herzendorf's photo, "Grandpa was not a warlike man. ”

**

Foolish general Conrad, after the end of the war, this name weighed heavily on this old man.

The First World War of this time and space did not play out the drama of Serbia's defeat of the Austro-Hungarian army, but the performance of Austria-Hungary did not become any better because of this. The Austro-Hungarian army under Conrad's command first fought a draw with the equally decrepit Ottoman army in the Balkans, and the Austro-Hungarian Empire had to send in a god to stabilize the situation, resulting in a heavy price of serious injuries to one of them.

Conrad then planned the famous Carpathian Winter Offensive, which turned out to be no different from the previous one, with a large number of Austro-Hungarian soldiers freezing to death on the rugged, snowy roads of the Carpathians.

Conrad always had an ambitious plan, he planned his attacks on a map, and he used charts and calculations to calculate the speed of his troops' advances, and he always did not understand what troops could not reach their destination on time without encountering an unexpected enemy. He never personally went to the front line to investigate what was really going on at the front, and his headquarters was always hundreds of kilometers away from the front.

All of this became the laughing stock of Conrad in the eyes of the world, and the newspapers of the victorious Entente countries ridiculed Conrad, and the newspapers of the defeated Central Powers also ridiculed Conrad. The decay of the Austro-Hungarian Empire was thus ignored by the world, and its poor performance in the Great War seemed to be the fault of Conrad alone.

But even in this case, some people still regard Conrad as their hero.

It was the goddess Sissi, who was adopted by Conrad's family.

After the war, Sissi, who was only six years old, always pestered her grandfather who was idle at home to tell stories, and stayed by her grandfather's side all day long.

And the elder Conrad also fulfilled Sissi's wishes, telling her many myths and stories of ancient famous generals. And every night, when Sissi was captured by drowsiness and closed her eyes, Conrad would stroke Sissi's head, who was not related by blood but was better than her own granddaughter, and said in a voice full of vicissitudes: "I have failed to fulfill my responsibilities for the country, and I will depend on you in the future." ”

The young Sissi heard her grandfather's words several times, but at that time she couldn't see through the sadness behind it, just that this was her grandfather's expectation of herself.

Later, Sissi grew up day by day, and gradually heard the world's evaluation of her grandfather, for which she lost her temper with people more than once.

Finally, one day, Sissi plucked up the courage to tell her grandfather what the world had to say.

She clearly remembered the self-deprecation and helplessness in the old man's eyes when he looked out the window.

"I am indeed an incompetent person, and my military performance is a complete mess compared to my opponent Brusilov and my ally Ludendorff. But what could I do then? As Field Marshal of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, the Supreme Commander of the Imperial Army, I could only do what I had to do. As for whether I have the ability to do it, that wasn't something I should have considered at the time. Dear Sissi, my lovely granddaughter, you should not be indignant about this, because what everyone says is true, if you change someone else, you will definitely be able to do better than me, yes, you will definitely be able to do better than me. Looking back now, I might have taken the initiative to let Hyun go. ”

Grandpa's contradictory words made Sissi have mixed feelings, and she didn't even know what expression to use to face her grandfather. She really wanted to shout at her grandfather, "That's not what I want to hear!" Deny those accusations! ”

But Conrad's sad expression made Sissi swallow back the words that came to her lips.

While studying in Russia, Sissi was unscrupulously mocked by the Russian goddess. Especially Josephine, who now gets the nickname of steel? Dzhugashvili, when Sisi was studying abroad, this little goddess did not miss any opportunity to mock Sissi.

Unable to bear it anymore, Sissi finally took off her gloves at a ball and threw them in Josephine's face—in Europe, it meant to call for a duel.

The Russians readily accepted the request for a duel.

The duel ended in a dead end, with almost all of Sissi's internal organs shattered, and if it weren't for her powerful regenerative abilities and the fact that she hadn't been hurt in the heart, she would have died in the ice and snow of St. Petersburg. Josephine, on the other hand, paid the price of an arm and an eye, and both of them fell together in the snow, neither of them being able to get up and give their opponents the last blow, and the blood that flowed from the two of them stained the snow around them.

The Russians, who were the referees, immediately rushed to the rescue of Josephine, and no one paid attention to Sissi who fell to the ground, with the intention of causing Sissi to bleed to death.

What they didn't expect was that Sissi was left in the snow for several hours without dying, and the moon hanging high in the sky at that time really saved Sissi's life.

Late that night, a rescue team led by the Austro-Hungarian ambassador to Russia finally found Sissi and took her to the Invalides Hospital in St. Petersburg.

A few months later, a fully recovered Sissi appeared in front of Josephine, whose eyes were bandaged, and once again threw the glove in her face.

Josephine's hideous expression at that time is still fresh in Sissi's memory, and the blood oozing from the originally white bandage is simply shocking.

Out of chivalry, Sisi agreed to a duel after Josephine recovered, but before Josephine could recover, Sisi left Russia and returned to Austria-Hungary.

On the day she returned home, Sissi received the bad news: her grandfather had passed away peacefully without any one to take care of her, and when the servants noticed it, the corpses had been placed for nearly twenty hours, and they all began to show corpse spots.

At Grandpa's funeral, almost no one attended the funeral, except for the military dignitaries who planned to come to meet the newly returned Shinhime, and even the people who watched the excitement from a distance had a look of disdain.

Sissi even suspects that she is alone in grieving her grandfather's loss.

No matter what the world thinks of this old man, in Sissi's heart, he is her own hero.

What Grandpa couldn't do, just work hard to do it yourself.

As long as you have won the respect of the world, you can proudly claim that it is your grandfather's education in childhood that has long been your current self, so that the stigma that your grandfather bears can disappear to a certain extent.

With this in mind, Sisi began to fulfill her duties as the goddess of the Austro-Hungarian Empire.

**

The impact of the train's slowing down woke Sissi from her memories, and she looked out the window to find that the train was slowly approaching the unfamiliar platform.

The platform was full of wounded soldiers, and the soldiers who were not wounded were also depressed and had no fighting spirit, and looked indifferently at the train with the symbol of the Austro-Hungarian royal double-headed eagle.

Only the well-dressed officers still gathered together and talked with great interest

When the train stopped, Sissi stood up as her butler pushed the door open.

"What are you going to do, Miss?"

"Isn't this a matter of course, to go out and boost morale." Sissi said as she took her scepter and sword from the hook on the wall of the carriage.

"Boost morale and then turn around and go to the rear in full view?"

The housekeeper's words made Sissi's movements freeze directly, and after a while, she sat back on the chair with a helpless and depressed expression.

The butler stepped forward and placed the newspaper and message in his hand on the table in front of Sissi.

Sissi just glanced at the stack of papers, not even interested in reaching out and flipping through them.

She casually asked, "Is there any news worth mentioning, in the newspapers?" ”

"The Germans' plane flew over the Alps and landed in Villach."

"Oh, they're finally going to war?"

"No, the medicines they brought were for humanitarian aid."

Sissi pursed her lips and asked again, "What about Romania's movements?" ”

"As before, Romanian troops were massed at the border and did not mean to cross the border. It seems that the diplomatic activities of Britain and China have achieved a certain degree of effect. ”

"I hope so." Sissi finished and took a deep breath.

She began to cheer up.

- It was only a temporary setback, and although the pace of the gathering and deployment of the Imperial army was slow, after all, the preparations for the offensive were being completed little by little.

She once again looked at the portrait of Conrad on the wall.

What Grandpa failed to do back then, it was done by himself who inherited the name of Conrad.
