In the last world war, Austria-Hungary was also a tragic country. Because of his hostility to the Chinese Empire, the young and vigorous Austrian Emperor Franz. Joseph I led the Austro-Hungarian Empire into the North Atlantic Military Alliance. As it turned out, this was a radically wrong decision, which led directly to the annexation of Austria-Hungary by Germany after the war.

Although the Austro-Hungarian Empire was a large country with a population of tens of millions. However, compared to their population, the Austro-Crarian Empire was inadequate in both industrial and military power. As a result, in the war, Austria-Hungary suffered heavy losses in the face of German and Ottoman Turkish attacks. It didn't play much of a role in the war at all.

Austrian Emperor Franz. Joseph I also became the most tragic monarch. Now, he is only 29 years old, which is the golden age of a person. However, he is now under house arrest in Vienna's Belvedere. If it weren't for Franz. If Joseph I had a great deal of influence in the Austro-Crarian Empire, he would have been executed long ago. But even so, Franz. The life of Joseph I was also threatened. The Hohenzollerns were clearly not willing to continue the Habsburgs, which was a great threat to the dominance of the German Empire among the Germanic peoples.

Franz. Joseph I was Franz. Sophie, Archduke Karl and daughter of King Maximilian I of Bavaria. The eldest son of Princess Frederica, he was ∴educated to be the heir to the throne in Olmitz because his uncle Ferdinand I had no heirs, and when Austrian Emperor Ferdinand I was forced to abdicate for mental reasons, Franz ascended the throne in Olmitz.

Franz. Joseph was raised to be a soldier and wore a military uniform throughout his life. But he is not a strategist, just as he is not a politician. This allowed him to act according to his personal preferences during the last world war. Got on the wrong side and ended up bringing disaster to Austria-Hungary. Until the end of the war. It was only after Vienna was occupied by the Germans and he himself became a prisoner that he came to his senses. It's just that it's too late by this time. His country no longer exists, and he himself is in high probability that he will be killed. Or to be poisoned.

After the German Empire annexed the Austro-Hungarian Empire, the Chinese Empire has been trying to give the Germans eye medicine. It was undoubtedly much easier to trouble the Germans in Austria-Hungary than in others. Therefore, the Chinese empire has been waiting for an opportunity.

This time, the Germans directly looked like they were going to tear their faces with the Chinese Empire. So. The Chinese Empire will no longer show mercy.

Emperor Long Yufei summoned Field Marshal Luo Hongtao, Director of the Military Intelligence Bureau, Admiral Liu Zhongming, Chief of the General Staff, and Admiral Wei Yong, Minister of the Navy.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the Reich is ready to give the Germans a greater counterattack. According to the information obtained by the Military Intelligence Agency, the Austrian Emperor Franz. Joseph I was always trapped in the Belvedere. If we can put Franz. If Joseph I brought it to the Chinese Empire, it would be a powerful pawn for the Empire to fight back against Germany. So, the empire hopes that this time the plan will be successful! Long Yufei said. In fact, the Military Intelligence Agency had been planning this for a long time, but the Germans were very interested in the Austrian Emperor Franz. Joseph I's surveillance was so tight that the Imperial intelligence officers wanted to take Franz safely. Joseph I. Not so easy. What's more, Vienna is too far from the seaside. The Reich wanted to bring Franz. Joseph I was sent to the Chinese Empire, which was undoubtedly very difficult. Of course, if it can be successful. Then the benefits will be very amazing.

"Your Majesty, the Military Intelligence Agency has been preparing for this for several years. In the beginning, the Germans were very well guarded at the Belvedere. Because nothing has happened in the past few years. So the Germans had already loosened their guard a little. In addition, the Military Intelligence Agency was in contact with some of the nobles of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Their interests suffered greatly after the annexation of Austria-Hungary by the German Empire, which was opposed to the German Empire. So. If we do it, we are about 50% sure that Franz . Joseph I saved! Field Marshal Luo Hongtao, director of the Military Intelligence Bureau, said.

Field Marshal Luo Hongtao was very excited, he knew what this operation meant. If it can succeed, this is undoubtedly the most classic plan of the Military Intelligence Bureau, which is undoubtedly the most important success for Luo Hongtao, who is wandering in the dark. As long as the plan can succeed, even if he leaves office, he will have no regrets. has led the Imperial Military Intelligence Bureau for more than ten years, and the rank has also become Field Marshal, what else does Luo Hongtao have to regret? As for the successor, he has already found a successor. Marshal Niu Meng's youngest son, Niu Zhiyang, although he is a little younger, is born to do intelligence work. After the situation in Japan calmed down, he would report to the emperor, hoping to promote Niu Zhiyang to major general of the empire, and then become the deputy director of the Military Intelligence Bureau, laying the foundation for his future succession.

"Hmmm! Fifty percent sure, this is already very high! However, if the plan is to succeed, it needs the cooperation of the navy! Long Yufei said.

"Your Majesty, the Imperial Navy will secretly send a battleship to the Adriatic Sea, as long as the MIA sends people to the battleship, the Germans don't want to capture people!" Admiral Wei Yuan, Minister of the Navy, said.

"Hmmm! However, in order to prevent the Germans from jumping over the wall, the General Staff had to be prepared to order the Reich's armies in Europe to be put in the highest state of combat readiness. Once the Germans jumped over the wall, the Reich would not be defenseless! Long Yufei said solemnly. He also did not know if it would be the trigger for a war between the Reich and Germany. However, it's always okay to be prepared a little earlier.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Admiral Liu Zhongming nodded. He also knew how dangerous it was. Once the Chinese Empire was Emperor Franz. If Joseph I had saved him, the Germans would have been annoyed. It's almost like tearing your face with the Germans. And whether the Germans would go to war with the Reich because of this, no one can say. Of course, the Reich was not ready for war, and the Germans were no less ready for war. The Germans probably wouldn't risk going to war with the Reich, they wouldn't have any chance of winning. But, be prepared, if the Germans can't think of it, if they really go to war, won't the Reich be caught off guard by them?

"Everyone, let's go ahead with the plan! I hope that this time the plan will be successful. Safe will be Austrian Emperor Franz. Joseph I brought back to China, which would be a great victory for us. In the war of the future, Franz. Joseph I played no less than a few hundred thousand troops! Long Yufei said.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Everyone knew the importance of this matter, and they made up their minds to ensure the success of this plan as much as possible. Of course, this time the plan is too difficult, and no one can guarantee whether it will succeed. As soon as you want to see God's arrangement, you still need to see God's arrangement.

On April 21, 1859, the former Prime Minister of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, Karl Brown. Ferdinand. Feng. The Count of Boure and the Foreign Secretary, the Count of Rodenloewen, managed to secretly enter the Belvedere and met Franz. Joseph I.

After several years of house arrest, Franz was put on long ago. Joseph I was driven insane. Fortunately, this time Carl. Ferdinand. Feng. The Counts of Bouall and Count Rodenloewen brought good news.

After a series of elaborate preparations by the Military Intelligence Agency, and with the help of the nobles of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, the Austrian Emperor Franz. Joseph I was quietly taken out of the Belvedere that night. After leaving the Belvedere, Franz. Joseph I, with the cooperation of the Reich* Military Intelligence Agency, took out Vienna and headed south to the coastal provinces of the former Austro-Hungarian Empire. One of the Imperial Navy's 'Yangtze River-class' heavy cruisers, the Heilongjiang, had long been on standby in the Adriatic Sea.

Although, on the second day the Germans found Franz. Joseph I is gone. They immediately reported it to Berlin, and Kaiser Wilhelm I was furious and immediately demanded that the German garrison in Austria-Hungary and the local police force search for Franz. Joseph I.

However, at this time, the energy tables of the Austro-Hungarian aristocracy came out, and they were always able to send the news before the arrival of the German* troops, so that Franz. Joseph I evaded the German* army with ease.

On April 26, intelligence officers from the Reich* Military Intelligence Agency and Franz Brown. Joseph I arrived on the outskirts of Yaste. That night, they boarded a fishing boat and went to the open sea to rendezvous with the Imperial Navy's heavy cruiser Heilongjiang.

Because of the weakness of the German navy, the main forces of their navy were deployed in the North Sea. In the Mediterranean, the German navy was almost a blank slate, and the Mediterranean was dominated by the Chinese, Spanish and Ottoman navies.

Late that night, the fishing boat had a thrilling rendezvous with the heavy cruiser 'Heilongjiang'. Franz. Joseph I, along with Count Andrách, who was with him, boarded the heavy cruiser Heilongjiang.

Subsequently, the heavy cruiser 'Heilongjiang' moved at full speed and left the Adriatic Sea. The Yangtze River class heavy cruisers reached speeds of more than 26 knots, surpassing any of the German Navy's active warships. So, in Franz. As soon as Joseph I boarded the heavy cruiser Heilongjiang, he was already safe, and no one could catch up with him.

After a few days on the run, Franz . . . Joseph I was finally relieved. Although he knew that it was the Chinese who saved him, this time he not only did not hate the Chinese Empire, but was full of gratitude and cooperated very well along the way. (To be continued......)
