Republic 255 (1914) - 15 May, Hofburg Imperial Palace.

Franz Joseph I was treated at the Royal Palace since his assassination in a spa sanatorium. Crown Prince Ferdinand hurriedly summoned famous doctors in China, and even invited many from abroad. Fortunately, the traffic is now much more convenient than before, not only do countries have passenger airships, China's "passenger-1" Magpie passenger plane has been exported to various countries in large quantities, and now it is much faster than before to make trains and carriages, and doctors are coming quickly.

Countries have the power to move mountains, let alone a powerful country like Austria-Hungary. Under the careful treatment of famous doctors from all over the world, Joseph I finally picked up a life, but after all, he was old, and after suffering like this, he was also seriously injured, and now he is still intubated and hung with water. Oh, and this treatment of intubating oxygen and hanging bottles, along with some special drugs, is provided by China. By now, countries around the world at least have to admit that China's achievements in medicine and pharmacy are properly the world's first, so Chinese doctors and Chinese medicine are now very sought-after in the market.

"How is my uncle doing?" asked Archduke Franz Ferdinand in French. The lingua franca of Europe is now French, not English as it was later called. In this era, if you don't know French in the upper class of Europe, you will be treated as a turtle by everyone.

The famous doctors looked at each other, and finally at the Chinese doctor who was in charge of the surgery. This doctor is not very old, he looks like he is in his twenties, this is all that, the key is that this is a beautiful female doctor. This oriental beauty stood in a group of white old men, looking extremely dazzling. Of course, the doctor's profession is not face-looking, but these famous doctors dare not underestimate her, because she is the best surgeon in China and the "master" of modern blood transfusion methods, and has published a large number of high-quality papers in major medical magazines.

The most important thing is that she also has experience in treating the assassinated Yuan Yuan, who was rescued by her after the assassination of Yuan Shikai of the Beiyang government of China a few years ago. And only she is most familiar with the special medical equipment in China, so she is also in charge of this rescue operation. Well, that's right, she is Jin Lin, the current vice president of China Medical University. She was originally doing an exchange at the Hamburg Medical School, and after the assassination of the Emperor, the Chinese side recommended him to treat the Emperor.

Jin Lin's French was only understandable, and he couldn't speak it well, so he replied in German: "Your Royal Highness, Emperor Joseph's Majesty is out of danger, but because of his age, it is difficult to say what Cheng dù can recover." ”

Archduke Ferdinand nodded, and looked at one of the famous doctors of the Austro-Hungarian Empire again.

The famous Austro-Hungarian doctor also confirmed: "At present, His Majesty's condition is stable, and there is no danger to his life." As Dr. Jin Lin said, His Majesty is now old, and what he can do is only up to God. ”

"Okay, I see. Thank you very much for your treatment, my wife Sophia will arrange for you, and I will be absent first......" Archduke Ferdinand left his wife to greet the doctors, and he hurried into the ward.

The next day, Joseph I, who had come to his senses, issued an edict of succession, announcing that he would abdicate on the same day and that Archduke Franz Ferdinand would take over the throne of the Austro-Hungarian Empire as Ferdinand II.

Archduke Ferdinand was the son of Archduke Carl Ludwig, brother of Emperor Franz I. He became heir to the throne after Crown Prince Rudolph, the only son of Emperor Joseph I, committed suicide from mental illness in 188. In the history of the original plane, it was he who was assassinated, and the throne was inherited by his nephew. However, his luck in this plane is good, and he has finally achieved a positive result.

The three assassins were all caught red-handed, all Serbs, young men in their twenties, one of whom was an international student at the University of Vienna. During the interrogation, the Assassins freely confessed to their actions, claiming that the assassination was a punishment for Austria-Hungary's brutality in dealing with Serbia.

According to their confessions, their target was Archduke Ferdinand, who had always advocated the annexation of the Kingdom of Serbia through Guò and the expansion of the Austro-Hungarian Empire from a dual empire consisting of Austria and Hungary to a triple empire consisting of Austria, Hungary and Yugoslavia. This is what makes the Serbs gnash their teeth the most.

The student heard that Ferdinand would go to the spa, but Ferdinand did not go there at the time. Because the German side suddenly proposed a joint 3o mm naval gun a few days ago, Ferdinand, who is a die-hard naval fan, immediately went to Germany to visit Wèn. The Assassins infiltrated the spa but did not find Ferdinand, who happened to be recuperating there when Franz Joseph I was recuperating there, so he was unfortunate enough to be targeted by the Assassins to help his nephew block the gun.

After seeing the confession, Ferdinand II's face turned green, and before he could ascend the throne, he sentenced the Assassins to death by hanging, and at the same time took out a list and demanded that Serbia hand over the terrorist organization "Black Hand" to Austria-Hungary for trial according to the list, because the three Assassins all confessed to being members of the "Black Hand". At the same time, there is also a mysterious organization called the "Decepticons", which provides a lot of relevant information to the Austro-Hungarian Empire.

Austria-Hungary unceremoniously pointed out that the terrorist organization "Black Hand Society" is a subordinate agency of the intelligence department of the Serbian army, and their head is Colonel Dragutin o Dimitrievich of the Serbian 6th Army, who is also the head of the intelligence department of the Serbian army. In other words, this assassination was an act of the Serbian government.

Serbia, of course, did not accept it, and they declared that it was a shameless slander and that the assassination was only a personal act of those people, and was absolutely not instructed by the Serbian Government.

Ferdinand II was like a Serbian attacker, and now that the other party has given the handle to his hands, how can there be any reason not to act? As for whether the assassination was instructed by the Serbian government, it doesn't really matter, all Ferdinand needs is a reason to do it. What better reason could there be than to kill a king?

As a result, Austria-Hungary immediately mobilized a large number of troops to the border, and at the same time announced domestic mobilization and entered a state of combat readiness. Germany also reaffirmed its commitment to the German-Austrian alliance. After receiving the explicit support of Germany, Ferdinand II gave Serbia an ultimatum on October 1, giving 2 hours to meet all the conditions proposed, including not only the surrender of all the members of the "Black Hand Society", but also the conditions that the Serbian king personally come to Vienna to apologize, and pay reparations for the cession of land.

For the arrogant Serbia, these conditions are too much, and naturally they will not agree. The Russian Empire declared its support for Serbia and warned Austria-Hungary not to use force against Serbia.

Thus, on 6 April, Austria-Hungary declared war on Serbia, and on the same day the Austro-Hungarian army crossed the Austro-Serbian border.

On April 7, Russia began a general mobilization and sent troops to aid Serbia.

On 9 April, Germany declared war on Russia; and presented an ultimatum to France, demanding its neutrality in the event of the German-Russian war, which France refused and entered into a general mobilization. On April 11, Germany declared war on France, and on the same day the German army sent troops to neutral Luxembourg to obtain the Luxembourg railway network. On 2 April, Germany, in accordance with the Schlieffen plan, invaded Belgium, which had declared permanent neutrality at the time of its founding. On the same day, Britain declared war on Germany, considering the importance of Belgium to its homeland security, and in order to ensure Belgium's neutrality and maintain the Treaty of London signed in 183. On 13 April, Austria-Hungary declared war on Russia and Serbia on Germany. On April 14, Britain and France declared war on Austria-Hungary......

At this point, the First World War broke out in full swing.

Although Italy is a member of the Allies, this wall grass has no intention of going into the water now, and when the other German and Austrian families are in the war, he is still watching the wind and actually declares neutrality.

On April 17, President Thomas Wilson of the United States declared neutrality after a telegram between the presidents of China and the United States had telegraphed a special hotline. On April 18, China's President Wen Desi declared neutrality. After that, the rest of the countries also declared neutrality and prepared to watch the excitement.

Japan, which had only been beaten to death, was very enthusiastic, and on April 2 they announced their accession to the Entente and declared war on Germany and Austria. Uh, there's no way, now that Japan is poor and crazy, what if you don't call the police Niu Niu's thighs?

April 2, 255 (1914), Wuhan.

At a time when the war in Europe was already underway, the Chinese government was busy moving, to be precise, the capital. Because China's legal capital is Hanjing, which is located in the middle of the Nanxiang Plain, the current Wuhan is only a temporary capital. After more than four years of overtime construction, the new city of Hanjing has been completed at the end of March 6. Now many government departments are already moving or preparing to move, and at the latest this year's National Day, the vast majority of government departments have moved to Hanjing.

At this time, a high-level meeting on World War I was being held at the Wuhan Presidential Palace, which may also be the last time that the place met in the name of the presidential palace. After the meeting, Moon will also move to the new presidential palace in Hankyung.

"Hahaha, the Europeans are finally fighting...... "Wen Deji said with a smile, not at all compassionate.

Not only him, but all the participants had a gloating and watching the fire from the other side.

Wen Deji shook the information in his hand and said: "This Serbia is almost unbearable, it's really surprising, I originally thought they would be able to withstand it somewhat." ”

According to intelligence, after the declaration of war, Austria-Hungary dispatched three large airships and more than 1oo bombers to take off from Hungary and cross the Danube River to bomb Belgrade indiscriminately. At this time, Serbia's territory was much smaller than Serbia in the original time and space, and Belgrade was on the border, just across the Danube River from Hungary.

Austria-Hungary seems to have learned all the Chinese methods, and while dispatching their air force, they also mounted hundreds of large-caliber guns on the river, and bombarded Serbia on the other side of the river. Many of these artillery pieces are the results of joint fire with China in those years, and large-caliber heavy guns of 21omm, omm, 2omm, -1o mm and even 3o mm are pouring shells like they don't want money.

On top of that, Austria-Hungary also made extensive use of napalm, a new, cheap and efficient weapon. Because Belgrade was a fortress city, it was an important border fortress of the Ottoman Empire, and the defense system was very perfect, with a large number of fortifications. If it were to attack directly, it would be impossible to fight without tens of thousands of people to fill it. Ferdinand II was not a fool, of course it could not be so, so his solution was to burn and fry.

After all, these fortifications and fortresses were the product of many years ago, and they were okay for traditional ground warfare, but they were powerless in the face of all kinds of new weapons now, when there were no aerial bombardment, large-caliber heavy artillery, and no napalm. After several days of incessant and indiscriminate bombardment, Belgrade had been blown to the ground, most of the fortifications had been destroyed, the whole city was devastated and littered with dead bodies, and the defenders had either died from shelling and air raids or had withdrawn from their capital, and almost one in ten remained.

On 18 April, the Austro-Hungarian Hungarian Legion crossed the Danube with ease and captured Belgrade as easily as an armed march. At this time, Serbia was very small, smaller than the same period in the original time and space, because most of Macedonia was still in the hands of the Ottomans, and Albalia, which had been fought so hard, was forced to become independent by the great powers. Now that the Belgrade area has fallen, there is not much room for maneuver.

Serbia begged grandpa and grandmother everywhere, begging the Entente to come to the rescue as soon as possible, otherwise Serbia would not exist. But although Mao Zi declared war this time, he played the trick of holding his troops on the Russian-Austrian border, on the grounds that the army was not ready yet.

Deputy Prime Minister and Finance Minister Xiao Tu said with a smile: "Hahaha, this time Serbia was miserable by Maozi, Nicholas II actually stood still on the border after declaring war, but asked them to resist for a month and a half before Russia could send troops......"

"One and a half months? Whether Serbia can resist for two weeks is a question, Mao Zi is also too tricky......" Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Industry Ban Chuanzhi pouted.

Minister of Civil Affairs Yuwen Baochun spread his hands: "There is no way, Maozi's army is not ready now." It's impossible to pit yourself for a Serbia.

"It's not that simple, the Russians are deliberate, and the failure to assemble enough troops is only one of the reasons why they are not moving. Foreign Minister Kafu shook his head and said: "There is another important reason, that is, they deliberately want Serbia to bleed a lot, and it is better to be defeated by Austria-Hungary." ”

"Why is that?" asked Education Minister Seo Seok-lin.

"Quite simply," Cavour explained, "for Russia, they want a Slavic world in full control. They never wanted a Yugoslavia with Serbia as the core on the Baryu Peninsula, and what the Serbs had been obsessed with all these years was the creation of a Greater Yugoslavia that would include most of the Baryu Peninsula. There is a fundamental conflict between the two on this point, and it would be strange if Russia did not take the opportunity to put Serbia in order. ”

Chief of the General Staff Sinjie said: "Yes, Russia will rule the Slavic world in order to facilitate its own reception of the Balyu peninsula. The best way is for Austria-Hungary to take Serbia hard, preferably by destroying them, and then killing more of their men and draining Serbian blood. After defeating the Allies, Russia would be able to hold the entire Yugoslavia region firmly in its own hands. This has been a long-cherished wish of Russia for many years, and of course they will not come to Serbia's aid right away......"

It was for this reason that poor Serbia was swept away by the Entente. As for Britain and France, they are now guarding against the Germans, so how can they have time to take care of Serbia, and according to the division within the Entente, Serbia is the sphere of influence of the woolly bear, and the woolly bear doesn't care, so why should we care? Where did there be so much Lei Feng in these years?

Yuan Shikai looked at the map and said: "However, once Serbia is destroyed, Austria-Hungary will border the Ottomans, and Ottoman materials will be continuously sent to the Central Powers through the Guò Eurasian Railway, which is not good news for the Entente......

As far as Russia is concerned, Germany's main offensive direction is the western front, and the eastern front is only defense. It's also British and French who have a headache, they just need to guard their nests. When both sides are defeated, it is not too late for them to start picking peaches. So this kind of thing is an alliance, which is intrigue and has its own ghosts. These powers don't blink their teammates, and it would be best if they could pit their teammates and opponents together. ”

Yuan Shikai shook his head with a complicated expression, and then asked, "Mr. Wen, then what should we do?"

"Of course, it's to watch a play, and to do business by the way. As soon as Europe goes to war, business will be easy to do. Now they can't go all out to produce weapons, and they can't take care of civilian materials, so we take the opportunity to occupy their market. Wen Deji smiled harmlessly.

After a pause, he asked Premier Zhang Lizheng again: "By the way, all of us in Europe have withdrawn, right?"

"After the assassination of Joseph I, we informed all those who were in the Entente and the Central Powers to evacuate. At present, all important personnel have been evacuated, and some of the remaining personnel will also be evacuated in June. Please rest assured that the belligerents will not attack our evacuees, they will not dare to ......" Zhang Lizheng said the last sentence "they don't dare", with a smug smile on his face.

Nonsense, of course they don't dare, if a power like China is pushed into the camp of the opponent, then it will be a lot of fun. No one dares to bear such an outcome, and the great powers are not fools. Instead of attacking Chinese evacuees, they opened the door wide.

"Also, how is the Asia-Europe Railway going now, and when will it be fully opened?" asked Wen Deji again.

Zhang Lizheng said: "At present, the European part and several sections from Ili to Tehran have been opened to traffic, and now there is still Ankara to Istanbul, which can be opened to traffic by the end of this year." ”

"We must hurry up and coordinate with the Ottoman side, if they don't have enough manpower, we will send someone to repair it...... This road is the golden road in the future," Wen Deji said.
