Holy Roman Empire

On September 25, 1890, the two countries carried out war mobilization at almost the same time. Everyone knew that this was going to be true.

European eyes have gathered to Vienna. As the leader of the anti-French alliance, the position of the Austrian government at this time will directly affect the subsequent changes in Europe.

Vienna Palace

Franz asked: "Has the Deutsche Confederation have not come up with a result?"

The Belgian power alone cannot stop the French. If you want to wait until the Austrian reinforcements arrive, the cooperation of North Germany is particularly important at this time.

Everyone knows the truth about the death of the lips and the teeth. Once the French army occupy Belgium, North Germany will be reduced to a battlefield, and it will be impossible to survive alone.

In this context, it is inevitable for North Germany to send troops to support Belgium.However, this is only theoretical.

A large number of people is not necessarily powerful. There are too many states in the German Federation, and their core interests are different. Not everyone is willing to fight the French.

There is never a shortage of idiots in the world, and there is also such an existence within the German Federation. At this time, there are still people who dream of gaining peace in exchange for peace.

Contradictions arise, let's fight, anyway, the existence of the imperial assembly is to provide everyone with a place to fight.

Foreign Secretary Weissenberg: "On the issue of sending troops to strengthen Belgium, the states of North Germany have reached a preliminary agreement.

However, in terms of force distribution and command power, the parties have again diverged.

George I was very negative, and he did not rush to urge everyone to send troops. It seemed that he wanted to preserve his strength."

People are selfish, and Franz is sure that both Belgium and Austria hope that Fao will suffer both losses, or even die together, in order to reap the greatest benefit.

It is not surprising that George I was passive and sabotaged. Anyway, the battlefield is far away from Hanover. Even if the front line loses, Belgium and Baden are the first to lose.

When all the western territories have fallen, Austrian reinforcements should also arrive, and it is time to wave the flag and shout.

In the Austro-Prussian War in the original time and space, Austria was killed by a group of passive allies and had to face an enemy with twice the strength.

Franz frowned and fell into hesitation.Frankly speaking, he was not prepared to sell his teammates before this. After all, the strengths of the two countries are limited and it is impossible to intentionally weaken them.

But the scene that happened before him made him think about killing someone with a knife.

A German region that suffered heavy losses seems to be more conducive to stability after reunification and reduce unnecessary troubles.

"The original emergency mobilization plan was cancelled, and the mobilization should be carried out according to the normal intensity. One week later, troops will be sent to reinforce the front line of Pediatric.

To do a good job of coordination and communication, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs must obtain the right to dispatch railways along the way.By the way, tell the Belgians that reinforcements will arrive within a month.

As for George I, just ignore him for now.Once the war broke out, they could not escape at all."

Franz still has the integrity, the dispatch time is only delayed by one week, completely worthy of the ally.

No one can accuse Austria's allies of pitting, the labor force expedition must have to make preparations, and a week is really not too much.

In fact, the Austrian army did not go to Belgium by train this time, but walked over on two legs.

There is no way, the railway capacity is limited, and there are so many countries involved, and the efficiency cannot be achieved at all.

The precious transportation capacity can only be used for the transportation of logistics materials and weapons. As for ordinary soldiers, they still have to go there.

Traveling more than a thousand kilometers in more than 20 days, even if it is lightly loaded, this speed can be achieved in the European continent.

...

There is no redundant explanation. The Vienna government has already stated its position with actual actions. The armed forces are the strongest response.

This is anxious to ruin the Tsarist government, and seeing Fao is about to fight, without the gold master and the logistics captain, how will the next battle be fought?

Nothing to say, there must be mediation!

St. Petersburg

Alexander III reprimanded angrily: "What does the Ministry of Foreign Affairs do for food?

Let you delay the outbreak of the European War. After only a long time, the situation becomes uncontrollable..."

From the moment he entered the house, Oscar Jimenez lowered his head to reduce his sense of existence as much as possible, but still did not hide.

There is no way, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs made a mistake in its judgment.Originally thought that the French would start a war only after they completed their preparations for war.

Unfortunately, the plan has not changed quickly. The French are not stupid. They are preparing for war, and the enemy is also preparing for war.

When they are ready, the enemy is also ready.The scale of the war at that time will not be tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands, but a decisive battle with millions of armies.

This kind of war, even if it is won, will be greatly injured, and it will only be a fisherman who is on the sidelines, and it is completely out of value.

Otherwise, Napoleon IV would not have chosen to use the topic when he knew someone was planning it.

After Alexander III finished his vent, Oscar Jiménez tentatively explained: "Your Majesty, the advancement of the European War is mainly because the French economy cannot sustain it.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has made emergency preparations. We have signed a contract with Austria. Even if the European War breaks out, it will guarantee our supply of strategic materials.

With the industrial strength of the three anti-French alliances, it is no problem to support multi-line operations, and the European War will not affect the battlefield in Afghanistan."

From the perspective of industrial strength alone, the Anti-French Alliance has an absolute advantage. The industrial strength of Germany and Germany combined makes it very close to France.

In this context, Austria only needs to guarantee the logistics supply of its own military, and the military logistics of the two countries can handle it by themselves.

Even if there is a gap, there is only a shortage of industrial raw materials and food.The French do not have the strength to block the anti-French alliance, and these materials can be provided by Russia and Austria.

From the perspective of industrial volume, it is not a problem for Austria to support three to five million troops in combat, but the front line certainly does not need so many troops.

Then Austria will leave room for logistics and promise to guarantee exports to Russia, which is completely feasible in theory.

Alexander III sneered: "It is true that it will not affect, but as a price, we must unconditionally support Austria in this war.

If the anti-French alliance loses on the battlefield, we have to send troops to help them fight.Otherwise, Austria will be defeated, and we will also be defeated.

By the way, I remember that some time ago, there was some idiot who packaged up all the food exported this year and sold it to Austria.

We were tied to the chariot by Franz a long time ago, but now we are only tied up a little more deadly.

From now on, everyone prays that the Austrians will use some of their performance, or else the Russian Empire will suffer.

At the same time, we have to pray that the Austrians should not be too capable. If the French are defeated in twos or fives, then we can only give in to the European hegemon!"

No matter that Alexander III was not angry, the strategic initiative of the Russian Empire was gone before the European War started.

Unless they can cut the meat immediately and decisively abandon the Afghan region, otherwise, in this European War, they can only go to the dark with the Austrians.

The grain, which was a powerful weapon of the Tsarist government, was sold to Austria early by the bureaucrats for profit. Now it is impossible to go back.

Unless the Russian Empire’s grain exports, it will never go through the Black Sea Strait; and in the following war in Afghanistan, it will not purchase logistic materials and industrial equipment from Austria.

It's no use getting angry, things have already happened.Now, apart from praying that France and Austria will suffer both losses, there is not much that the tsarist government can do.

...

Time flew like an arrow, 48 hours passed in a flash, and the delay in Leopold II's fantasy could not be realized.

The French are very firm and will not give them a chance to explain, even if there is international mediation, it is useless.

On September 27, 1890, the French government officially declared war on the Belgian government on the grounds of the Belgian conspiracy to kill French soldiers.
