The assassination and injury of Ferdinand at Belgrade Airport was immediately known to the great powers of various countries. Because of the high concern of this matter, the great powers of various countries sent consulates to Belgrade to the Serbian airport to inquire about the affairs of Ferdinand and his wife.

The armed police at the airport of China Airlines defending the armed police arrested the assassins of the seven countries, making things unprecedentedly complicated and difficult. How could they dare to disclose any news?

While appeaseing consuls of various countries, the Chinese consul in Serbia telegraphed the matter to Beijing and requested the Cabinet Prime Minister Tang Shaoyi to decide.

The incident was very involved, so Tang Shaoyi had to go to the palace to meet Zhang Yunfei and discuss countermeasures.

This defeat, the arrival of Tian Renjie and Zhang Si, led Zhang Yunfei and Tang Shaoyi to learn more detailed information about the whole story and the secret.

Later generations only knew that in the Sarajevo incident, the Grand Duke Ferdinand and his wife were shot dead by local Serbian youth, and they felt that it was very common. Now, Zhang Yunfei only realized that all countries wanted to kill Ferdinand. This big secret today made him sigh endlessly.

After listening to Zhang Si's report, Tang Shaoyi said: "It seems that! The Allies want to sacrifice Grand Duke Ferdinand in exchange for the excuse of sending troops to Serbia. The Allies can no longer help it. They want to stimulate the Austro-Hungarian Empire to go to war with Serbia in exchange for the excuse of the Allies to go to war against the Allies."

"But the Ferdinand couple were very wronged!" Tian Renjie said: "It's fine if other countries send people to assassinate them, but the Austro-Hungarian Empire also sent people to assassinate the crown prince of their own country. It's so tragic!"

Zhang Yunfei nodded and said, "Most of the political struggles are a tragic ending! Besides, Ferdinand is not the biological son of Emperor Ao, but he naturally does not feel sorry for those who have been adopted by the royal family. Nothing! I think again, now we have arrested all the assassinators, but they are from seven major European countries. Soon they will put pressure on the imperial government. How should we deal with the aftermath?"

Zhang Yunfei's concerns are very likely to arise, and the fact that he was assassinated and injured by Fei'an was even more difficult.

If things were born elsewhere, China had nothing to do with it. However, Ferdinand's plane went to Belgrade and had an accident at the airport. What's even more annoying is that the armed police at the airport of China Airlines did not know the consequences, rescued Ferdinand and his wife, and arrested secret assassins from various countries, which brought great passiveness to the Emperor Qin government.

"Your Majesty!" Tang Shaoyi said: "I think the assassins of various countries have chosen to take action in the airport of the empire. I think they have already made the worst plan. Once the action fails, the empire can also provide them with the final cover to prevent the news that their own people killed themselves from being made public. At the same time, their purpose is to let the empire take the blame. Once the Ferdinand and his wife die in the airport of the empire, the Serbian government will definitely put all the responsibility on the empire, saying that the empire covers up the assassinators, which leads to the deterioration of the relationship between the empire and the allies, and thus the benefits of the agreement."

Tian Renjie was shocked and said, "What should we do? It is better to throw out such a hot potato as soon as possible!"

Zhang Si said: "There is still a lot of room for maneuver. For the empire, how can a small Serbia be allowed to frame the accusation? Since all countries want to find excuses to start a war, then we will help them!"

Tang Shaoyi asked: "What does Director Zhang mean?"

Zhang Si turned his head and said to Zhang Yunfei: "Your Majesty, we still have assassinators from various countries in our hands. Whoever we say is the assassin is the assassin!"

Zhang Yunfei suddenly realized and said, "Yes! Why did you forget this excellent ace?"

Tang Shaoyi looked full of joy and said, "Your Majesty, the handles of all countries are in our hands, and we are not at our mercy? If you want to calm this storm, you only need to announce that the assassination was from the Austro-Hungarian Empire. If you want to destroy the image of the Allies, you only need to say that it was done by Germany or Italians. If you want a war in Europe?"

"Just say that the Allies sent people to assassinate Ferdinand!" Tian Renjie said suddenly.

"That's right!" Tang Shaoyi asked each Zhang Yunfei, "What does your majesty mean?"

Zhang Yunfu Gen said affirmatively: "I long wished they would fight!"

After the voice fell, the court confidential official informed him, and Foreign Minister Liang Cheng met with him.

Liang Cheng's arrival confirmed the judgment of Zhang Yunfei and others. After learning the news, governments of various countries immediately ordered officials stationed in China to apply for the right to know about the assassination of Ferdinand from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Emperor Qin, and expressed considerable concern.

Afterwards, Zhang Yunfei ordered Liang Cheng to secretly inform the governments of the capture of the assassin and test the reactions of the countries.

Sure enough, governments of various countries immediately responded, asking the Emperor and Qin government to take this matter carefully, and hoped that the Emperor and Qin government should put the overall relationship first.

Since the news of the assassination of the Grand Duke Ferdinand and his wife had spread, no one in the country knew about the life and death of the Duke Ferdinand and his wife, and the assassination had been detained by Chinese armed police.

After three days of research, the senior officials of the Imperial Qin government conducted closed-door consultations with the liaison officers of various countries. On July 2019, the Imperial Qin government officially announced that Ferdinand and his wife and their entourage were killed, and Ferdinand died due to ineffective rescue.

On July 2, the Imperial and Qin government proposed to form an international trial court with the establishment of a sect. The initiative was fully supported by European countries such as Britain, Germany, France, Russia, Austria, and Italy. Then, China and six major European and European powers jointly formed an international jury, with China as the chief officer of the International Tribunal. Other six European and Zhejiang countries participated in the investigation of the assassination of the Dagong and his wife of Nan, as jurors, but the jury members kept Serbia out.

China proposed to establish an international tribunal and serve as the chief official of the International Tribunal. It was undoubtedly a politically harsh blow to European countries and also a sign of the beginning of European group affairs.

Since the handles of the six European powers fell into China, although they were unhappy, they had to go to China for fear of the huge moral and war risks brought about by the exposure of things.

Clothes.

Originally, all countries were trying to provoke a war in Europe and cheat China. Unexpectedly, only one airport security police could subdue assassins from various countries. Instead, China grabbed their braids, which was a loss of both the wife and the army.

China served as the chief official of the International Tribunal and had privately negotiated with governments in secret, and governments expressed support for any decision of China. Therefore, whether the European War could break out was in the hands of the Emperor and Qin government.

After integrating the opinions of various countries, the Chinese government decided to let the European war break out! Because the European war is inevitable, even if the fight does not start this time, all countries will still find excuses to provoke the war.

Now, the Emperor and Qin government took the opportunity to set up an international court, which increased its political influence in Europe and should also meet the wishes of European countries.

Therefore, after China negotiated with other countries, the trial result came out. Ten thousand Serbian men were found guilty of assassinating the Austro-Hungarian Crown Prince Ferdinand and his wife. At the same time, Bronehanvic, a senior official of the Serbian government's Presidential Office, was also suspected of instructing the murder behind the scenes and demanding extradition to the Serbian government.

Then, according to the set set, the Austro-Hungarian Empire government filed a request to extradite all criminals back to Vienna to accept legal sanctions and arrest Bronesevich. China, Germany, Austria, Italy and Turkey agreed, and the International Tribunal authorized the Austro-Hungarian Empire to handle the matter with full authority. Britain, France and Russia secretly notified the Serbian government, refused to hand over the person, and promised to be responsible for Serbia's security.

The Austro-Hungarian Empire was determined to use this as an excuse to completely destroy Serbia. The Austro-Hungarian Emperor sought Germany's opinions, while the German Emperor William II said that it was now, or would never fight. The Chief of Staff of the 6th Army of Germany also said that for the allies, the earlier the war, the better.

Germany promised to fully support the Austro-Hungarian Empire in military action against Serbia, which greatly encouraged the Austro-Hungarian Empire's confidence.

The Allies Group is also actively engaged in activities. On July 1, French President Poungalai visited Russia to ensure the fulfillment of the allied military obligations. Britain did the most ruthlessly, and after the instigation, it publicly announced that Britain had no military obligations with Russia and France. This gave Germany an illusion that it made Germany think that Britain was unwilling to be involved in the war immediately, with the purpose of luring Germany to start the war first.

In this way, the Allies and the Allies had their own ulterior motives, and the excuse of the Austro-Hungarian Empire getting what they wanted was finally here.

After the international court arbitration, Austro-Hungary decided to use this as an excuse to provoke a war and annex Serbia. Germany firmly supported Austro-Hungary's actions, and Russia expressed its support for Serbia. On July 23, 4, Austro-Hungary issued a final hiring to Serbia, with an answer of 8 hours. The content of the card was extremely harsh, requiring all anti-Australia activities to be stopped, punishing officials and civilians who carried out anti-Australia propaganda, and extradition of government officials involved in Serbia.

Serbia was originally a lamb who was sacrificed by the Allies. She had no idea of ​​the true purpose of Britain, France and Russia, and she foolishly believed in the Allies' commitments.

On July 2, Serbia responded to the document and rejected all the requests of the Austro-Hungarian Empire on the grounds of being excluded from the international court. On the same day, the Austro-Hungarian Empire and Serbia broke off diplomatic relations, and the Austro-Hungarian Empire began military mobilization.

The next day, after learning that the Austro-Hungarian Empire was conducting military mobilization, Britain made a mediation request to Germany, and pretended to avoid war in a false outrageous manner.

German Emperor William II immediately convened a meeting of imperial predecessors to discuss countermeasures. At the meeting, the arrogant Germans believed that neither Britain nor France nor Russia had a military obligation, so they could not consider the British factors.

Because Serbia is a Slav country, once the Austro-Hungarian Empire invades Serbia, the Russian Empire, which is also a Slav country in the north, will declare war on the Austro-Hungarian Empire. In this way, Germany needs to declare war on Russia to protect the allies Austro-Hungarian Empire. However, it is not only Germany who has formed gangs, but Russia's accomplices France will definitely attack Germany.

Germany will be attacked by two powerful countries from both sides. Fighting on both sides has always been a taboo in military strategists, so Germany's hope is placed on Italy to help. Unfortunately, Italy announced it a month ago

However, Germany could not guilt Italy at this time, so it had to tolerate Italy

Germany could not afford to fight on two fronts. Therefore, early on, Germany formulated the Schriefen plan. According to the Schriefen plan, Germany's goal and purpose were very clear, which was to solve the Western Front problem in a short period of time. Use superior troops and large-scale intersecting and encirclement to eliminate France as soon as possible to achieve strategic goals.

However, when Moltke became the chief of staff of the German General Staff, he questioned Schriefen's well. Schriefen's small plan needed to bypass France's solid defensive fortress and attack France from Belgium in the opposite direction, which required very fast assault power and long-distance supply capabilities. This was impossible for the current German capabilities.

If France adopts a defensive tactic of strengthening the walls and clearing the field and taking steps to block the German offensive and extending the German supply line will put Germany in danger. This will give Russia valuable time to mobilize wars and send troops to attack East Prussia, threatening the safety of Dupalin.

Therefore, Moltke Xiao revised Schriefen's plan, reduced the assault troops, and transferred them to the eastern front to deal with the threat of Russia. Schriefen's plan was a great risky plan, and France would be eliminated if it succeeded, and Germany would be destroyed if it failed. German Emperor William II also changed it to Moltke Xiao as the Chief of Staff for Schriefen's insistence."

Moltke's plan was to shave the east and west sides, and slightly tend toward the western front. After defeating France on the western front, he would return to the eastern front to fight Russia. Germany was very much looking forward to the Austro-Hungarian Empire, hoping that the Austro-Hungarian Empire could withstand the Russian team with the German Eastern Front army. Because in terms of force, the German Eastern Front strength and the Austro-Hungarian Empire's troops were enough to withstand the Russian team. Therefore, the strategy of Germany's Eastern Front was to defend first and then counterattack.

While Germany formulated its military plan, France was not idle. The French side believed that it could not defeat Germany in the 6th battle, so France's idea was to use the solid fortress and fortress to hold the German team, allowing the huge Russian 6th army to attack Germany, forcing Germany to mobilize more troops to fight against Russia, and finally France took the opportunity to counterattack Germany.

For a long time, France has been preparing for large-scale positions expansion, including large fortresses such as Belfort, Epinal, Tours, and Verdun, which constitute the main support point for defensive positions. This position can be stationed in various ways by a large number of French troops, which brings great difficulties to the attack.

It can be said that the war strategies of the two major military groups are both very in place, each with targeted characteristics, and are very feasible tactical and strategic plans. However, during the war, the plan cannot change faster than the plan. Whether the plan can be successfully completed depends on actual combat results and is affected by other uncertain factors.

Three days later, the Austro-Hungarian Empire completed the preparations for military mobilization and declared war on Serbia. Since the Austro-Hungarian Empire had begun to conduct a secret military mobilization before, by the time the Austro-Hungarian Empire declared war on July 1, the Austro-Hungarian Empire mobilized troops to reach strong people.

According to the combat plan of the General Staff of the Austro-Hungarian Empire in the old year, the Austro-Hungarian team will follow three strategies. In the plan, the Austro-Hungarian Empire will fulfill its obligations to work with Germany and will start a full-scale war against Russia. The main forces of the Austro-Hungarian Empire will be concentrated on the front line of Galicia, cutting off Russian Poland in a far-reaching way, cooperating with the German army on the eastern front, and concentrating three million troops. This plan is crazy, so the Austro-Hungarian Empire will take time to seize all domestic troops and determine the outcome in a battle with Russia.

The plan was a compromise. It also cooperated with the German army's attack on the eastern front and detoured to the Russian Polish region and mobilized thousands of troops to fight against the Russian army with the German army. At the same time, it mobilized thousands of troops to attack Serbia. It only maintained a weak Balkan army group to oppress Serbia.

According to the plan, the Austro-Hungarian Empire only fought against Serbia, and used the Balkan Army Group and the Royal Hungarian Infantry Army Group to attack Seychelles with an overwhelming advantage. The Royal Austrian Infantry Army Group maintained a defensive posture against Russia.

It can be said that if the Austro-Hungarian Empire's combat plan was perfect with Germany, the Allies would be defeated by the German-Austrian coalition within three months. However, the arrogance of German Emperor William II led to the failure to use this ultimate skill.

While the Austro-Hungarian Empire was mobilizing, Germany was also mobilizing, but it did not perform a comprehensive mobilization. However, Russia was carrying out a national mobilization. For this reason, German Emperor William II sent a telegram to Russian Emperor Nicholas II, demanding that Russia stop conducting military mobilization. It was said that Germany did not want to go to war with Russia. They were relatives and should not turn against each other.

After receiving the telegram from William II, Nicholas II was very moved. He immediately gave up the national mobilization and replied to William II, expressing his lack of hope for the war to break out.

However, William II believed it and still did not allow Germany to mobilize in full. Although Nicholas II ordered the stop of mobilization, when the order was passed on, Russia had already completed the mobilization and had never been effective before. Nicholas II could not believe that it was his army. So under the instigation of the Russian side, Nicholas II's thoughts of war burned again.

When Russia secretly completed military mobilization, Germany indeed gave the Austro-Hungarian Empire a wrong signal. That is, Russia will not interfere in Serbia, and the Austro-Hungarian Empire can send troops with confidence.

So, Yueliri, the Austro-Hungarian Empire could not wait to implement the stakes and attack Serbia in an all-round way.

Located at the forefront is the Austro-Hungarian Balkan Army Group, which is a third-rate unit with twenty-two divisions, belonging to the local city guards, right next to the Serbian border.

Since Serbia is just a small country with ten thousand people, the number of troops mobilized only ten thousand, Mao Jing reached its limit. In order to defend the country, Serbia did not hesitate to blow up the only bridge on the boundary river to prevent the enemy from invading.

At the beginning of the battle, the Balkan Army of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, under the command of the same third-rate commander, former Bosnian military governor Potilek, attacked Serbia twice and was beaten to the point of being defeated by the Serbian and Montenegro coalition forces.

At the same time, three days after the war started, Russia suddenly declared war on the Austro-Hungarian Empire, which led to the bankruptcy of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. The Hungarian infantry army on the way was forced to implement the plan and transfer it to deal with the Russian army.

On the Serbian battlefield, the Balkan Army had no subsequent elite reinforcements, and finally had a year-long confrontation with the Serbian army on the boundary river and made progress.

On August 3, Germany was angry with Russia's betrayal and declared war on Russia. On the same day, Russia declared war on Germany.

On August 4th, Germany declared war on France, and on the same day, France declared war on Russia.

On August 5, France declared war on the Austro-Hungarian Empire. On the same day, the Austro-Hungarian Empire declared war on France and Russia at the same time.

At this point, the Allies and Allies broke out in full swing, the European War broke out, and the First World War was ignited.
Chapter completed!
