Chapter 1470: The Chaos of the Austro-Hungarian Empire
On the night of January 1, 1919, the palace of Hofburg, Vienna, the capital of Austria-Hungarian Empire, was still brightly lit! The news of the assassination of Emperor Ferdinand I and Queen Sophie has been confirmed, but the government and army of the Austria-Hungarian Empire
Fang’s senior executives are still arguing!
"Gentlemen! The despicable Serbs planned this assassination operation, and they assassinated the great emperor and his majesty! They must not be forgiven for their behavior! I suggest that the Austro-Hungarian Empire gathered on the border of the army immediately
Let's set out and strike the Kingdom of Serbia, and let the despicable Serbs pay the price for their shameless behavior!" Duke Kasba said excitedly.
"Hisser Duke! First of all, our military preparations have not been completed yet! All kinds of war materials have not arrived at the front line. Moreover, after His Majesty the Emperor was assassinated, the morale of the front line troops has been greatly affected! I think, now
It is not the best time to launch a war against the Kingdom of Serbia! The first thing we need to do is to maintain the stability of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, and wait until the new emperor ascends the throne before launching a war against the Kingdom of Serbia! They will pay a heavy price!" Hungarian Army Minister
Admiral Norland opposed!
"General Noland, what do you mean? Is there anything wrong with avenging His Majesty the Dead Emperor? With our troops gathered on the front line, we are enough to defeat the Serbs!" Austrian Army Chief of Staff Franz.
General Rad von Hetsendorf said angrily! However, after Ferdinand I's death, no one in Austria could conquer other countries, especially the Hungarians!
"I have no other intentions. What I said is just for the sake of the overall interests of the Austro-Hungarian Empire!" General Noland said without fear! The strength of the Hungarian Army is not inferior to that of the Austrian Army.
How many.
"Okay, don't argue anymore! Let's first determine the candidate for the new emperor! According to the Austro-Hungarian Empire's throne inheritance law, the first heir to the throne is Grand Duke Karl! Should we rule Grand Duke Karl immediately now and let him rush back
The Austro-Hungarian Empire succeeded as the new Austrian Emperor to stabilize the domestic situation?" Foreign Minister Leopold von Bercidord suggested!
"Duke Karl is the first heir to the throne, of course he should inherit the throne! Austria supports Duke Karl to become the next Austrian emperor!" Austrian government Prime Minister Stefan said immediately! The reason why Austria can dominate the Austrian Empire in the Austrian-Hungarian Empire is the only one who can dominate the Austro-Hungarian Empire!
The reason for status is that the Austrian Emperor was appointed by the king of the Austrian Kingdom! If Grand Duke Carl could take over the throne of the Austrian-Hungarian Empire, then Austria's status could be guaranteed!
"Although Grand Duke Karl is the first heir to the throne, his prestige is not enough to convince the public! Other countries will have objections to Grand Duke Karl taking over the throne of the Austro-Hungarian Empire!" Hungarian Prime Minister Ister Von Ti
Earl Shao said!
"Hum! I think it's Hungary that it's objection to this! The emperor of the Austro-Hungarian Empire was appointed by the king of the Austrian Kingdom, which has become a routine! Does the Kingdom of Hungary want to overthrow?" Austrian government Prime Minister Stefan was coldly
Said!
"Although it is a customary practice for the throne of the Austro-Hungarian Empire to be replaced by Habsburg royals! However, this did not form legal provisions! Austro-Hungarian Emperor Franz Joseph I and Ferdinand I had a noble status within the Austro-Hungarian Empire
We Hungary have no objection to their prestige as the emperor of the Austro-Hungarian Empire! However, Grand Duke Karl inherited the throne of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Can he really lead the Austro-Hungarian Empire to become stronger? Our Hungarian Kingdom expressed doubts about this." Hungarian Prime Minister I
Earl St. von Tissau said tit-for-tat!
The Kingdom of Hungary is not willing to be just a member of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. If possible, they certainly hope to play a greater role! In addition, other countries of the Austro-Hungarian Empire are also dissatisfied with the Kingdom of Austria, so they will
The empire's power was stolen from the hands of the Austrian Kingdom, and the Hungarian Kingdom was still sure!
"God! Your Majesty has just passed away. Do you want the entire empire to fall apart? The Austrian Army will never agree! Any attempt to usurp the throne will be opposed by the Austrian Army!" Austrian Army Commander Friedrich
The Lord said angrily!
"The Hungarian Army will fight to ensure the interests of the Hungarian Kingdom!" said General Tobres, Chief of Staff of the Hungarian Army!
For the right to inherit the throne, the Austrian Kingdom and the Hungarian Kingdom had a fierce quarrel! The Austrian Kingdom must have Grand Duke Carl inherited the throne, but the Hungarian Kingdom expressed opposition and even claimed that if Grand Duke Carl inherited the throne of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, the Hungarian Kingdom would go from
The Austro-Hungarian Empire was independent. Both sides confronted each other and the smell of gunpowder was very strong! After no powerful emperor suppressed it, the Austro-Hungarian Empire, a binary empire, had already shown signs of falling apart!
"The Austro-Hungarian Empire is not from the Kingdom of Austria, but from all states! It cannot be just the Austrian Kingdom. I suggest that all the states of the Austro-Hungarian Empire tomorrow will be summoned to decide the heir to the throne of the Austro-Hungarian Empire!
” said Hungarian Prime Minister Earl Von Tissau!
"No! The Austrian-Hungarian Empire's throne inheritance law has stipulated that the throne should be inherited by Grand Duke Carl! There is no need to do anything more!" Austrian Prime Minister Stefan immediately opposed it! The conflicts between various states of the Austrian-Hungarian Empire are not small.
, If everyone decides, the possibility of Grand Duke Carl successfully inheriting the throne is almost zero. Therefore, the Austrian Kingdom will kill Grand Duke Carl as the first heir to the throne, and demand that Grand Duke Carl succeed! Wait until Grand Duke Carl succeeds
After the throne, the situation of the Austro-Hungarian Empire could stabilize!
Mario Weber, Prime Minister of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, also had a headache. Neither the Austrian Kingdom nor the Hungarian Kingdom could convince each other. This made the situation in the Austro-Hungarian Empire very chaotic. We must take the next step to ensure the stability of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, and even more so.
It's hard to reach the sky!
At this moment, the attendant of the palace walked into the conference room and said a few words in the ear of the Prime Minister Mario Weber! Prime Minister Mario Weber nodded, and the attendant left the conference room!
Prime Minister Mario Weber stood up and prepared to leave the conference room, but was stopped by Hungarian Prime Minister Earl East von Tissau!
"Prime Minister Mario Weber, is there anything we cannot know?" said Hungarian Prime Minister Earl East von Tissau.
Prime Minister Mario Weber was stunned, then a hint of anger flashed across his face, and he said coldly: "Half Shen Ruilin, the Chinese Ambassador to Austria-Hungary, is here to convey to us the assassination of the Chinese Empire against His Majesty Ferdinand I of the Emperor
manner!"
"Since that's the case, please ask Ambassador Shen Ruilin to go directly to the conference room! We also hope to know China's attitude!" Hungarian Prime Minister Earl East von Tissau said without giving in!
"Okay, as you wish!" Prime Minister Mario Weber said!
A few minutes later, Chinese Ambassador to Austro-Hungary, Shen Ruilin appeared in the conference room. Seeing the two sides glaring at each other in the conference room, Ambassador Shen Ruilin couldn't help but frown.
"Everyone! His Majesty the Emperor of the Empire and the Government are very concerned about the assassination of the Austrian-Hungarian Empire Ferdinand I and Empress Sophie in Sarajevo. The Empire expressed regret for the experience of the Austro-Hungarian Empire! And the Empire is willing to support the Austro-Hungarian Empire in creating this
The culprit of an incident launched an attack, causing those despicable guys to pay the price for it!" said Ambassador Shen Ruilin.
"Thanks to China's support, the Austro-Hungarian Empire will not let the murderer who planned this incident go unpunished!" Prime Minister Mario Weber said! However, he was helpless about the current chaotic situation in the Austro-Hungarian Empire! If it were pony tale, he would be helpless!
If the Austro-Hungarian Empire falls apart, the Austro-Hungarian Empire will fall from the position of the third largest country in the world!
"In addition, there is one more thing to tell everyone! After learning about the assassination of His Majesty Ferdinand I, in order to quickly stabilize the situation of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, we have decided to send Grand Duke Kar back to the country as soon as possible! We have dispatched
The most advanced transport aircraft will be sent back directly from North America! It is expected that by tomorrow afternoon, Grand Duke Carl will arrive in Vienna! Ambassador Shen Ruilin said! There was chaos in the Austro-Hungarian Empire, which is undoubtedly very unfavorable for China
! Therefore, China decided to help Grand Duke Carl, the first heir to the throne, return to China as soon as possible! For this reason, China did not hesitate to dispatch the most advanced transport aircraft!
The Chinese Air Force Y4 transport plane takes off from an air base on Newfoundland and can fly to the Azores. Then after refueling and maintenance on the Azores, you can fly directly to Gibraltar. Then land in Gibraltar, and after refueling, you can fly to Ko
Sica! Then get the last refuel there, and take direct flights to Vienna under the escort of the Chinese Air Force's long-range fighter jets! The entire voyage only takes a little more than a day! When Ambassador Shen Ruilin informed the Austro-Hungarian Empire,
Grand Duke Carl has already taken the transport plane provided by China and started crossing the Atlantic Ocean!
Grand Duke Carl is very grateful for China's help! Although everything in the Austro-Hungarian Empire was led by Ferdinand I before, he was also very clear about the national policy of making friends with China and resisting Germany!
Help him return to Vienna as soon as possible to stabilize the situation. This is exactly what Grand Duke Carl hopes to see! Of course, this also shocked the senior officials of the Austro-Hungarian Empire! (To be continued. Please search for Astronomy and novels to update
