Vol 3 Chapter 2: Demise of Serbia

At this time, in Vienna's Schönbrunn Palace, Ferenz-Joseph I was furious. Of course, this has nothing to do with Ferdinand. The little thing in Bulgaria is not worth his anger, mainly because the front-line army has lost again!
Nor can it be said that it was defeated. The Austro-Hungarian army just returned without success, but for the Austro-Hungarian Empire, this is equivalent to a failure!
A crippled Serbia, the 200,000 army is still unable to handle it, and the face of the Austro-Hungarian Empire is almost lost.
You know, Bulgaria only sent 200,000 troops during the Serbian War, and Serbia would be dead if it weren't for the intervention of the Austro-Hungarian Empire.
Now that it’s good, a mob that was temporarily pulled up by the Serbian Revolutionary Party will be able to fight the Austro-Hungarian army at all. Even if Joseph’s self-cultivation is good, he can’t stand it!
"Tell the gang of rice buckets, I will solve the chaotic party as soon as possible for me regardless of their reasons..."
Of course, Franz-Joseph I was very self-reliant, and only a few sentences were turned over and over again. After a while, I probably felt annoying.
Joseph I asked sternly: "What plan does the military have to resolve the Serbian chaos as soon as possible?"
The named army minister blushed and said embarrassedly: "Now the main force of the rebels is located in the mountains of southern Serbia. They have received the support of local mountain people and the assistance of international forces. Relying on the defense of the mountains, there is no peace at all. Our army is decisive.
To solve them completely, the best way is to cut off their foreign aid and directly trap them to death and starve them to death!
If we attack directly, our losses will be great! "
Joseph said with a sneer: "Really? Is that true? Your military is not responsible? The list of supplies obtained by Serbia, should I provide you with a copy?"
The Austro-Hungarian Empire has operated in the Balkans for so long, so it is very simple to get some simple intelligence. Of course, this is also based on the fact that Ferdinand did not keep it secret!
The key is that keeping it secret is useless. Now the Kingdom of Montenegro is surrounded by the Austro-Hungarian Empire on three sides, and the only external communication line is Bulgaria. As long as the Austro-Hungarian Empire is not stupid, you know where these weapons and equipment come from!
There is no doubt that Ferdinand is not a generous person. Of course, what he provided to the Kingdom of Montenegro was second-hand goods seized during the Balkan War!
The Chief of Staff explained: "Your Majesty, although the rebels' weapons are backward, they rely on favorable terrain to make up for the losses in this regard!
In fact, it's not just us. The British also suffered a big loss in South Africa because of this. As long as the channels for them to obtain aid from abroad are cut off, the rebels will not last long! "
Thinking of the British, Joseph I was in a much better mood. After all, it was not so unacceptable to have the world boss with him.
"What do the kingdoms of Bulgaria and Montenegro say?"
Of course, the persimmon should be soft. Even if he knew that there were Russians behind, Joseph I did not ask the Russians. He did not ask and knew that the bear style was nothing more than denial, and the Austro-Hungarian Empire could not help others. !
The Minister of Foreign Affairs said with joy on his face: "The Kingdom of Montenegro does not recognize the fact that they support the rebels and has rejected our goodwill;
The Bulgarian government made it clear that they would not support the rebels and would temporarily impose an arms embargo on the Kingdom of Montenegro, but they also refused to send troops. "
Nicholas I will spit on his face when he is here, what kind of goodwill? It's obviously a threat! He didn't even have any incentives. At least the Austro-Hungarian Empire had to give him a step, such as lifting the embargo?
Besides, it is too late for the Black Mountain Kingdom to withdraw, and the Austro-Hungarian Empire will never let them go.
Instead of this, it is better to have a blog, support the Serbs in a fight, and see if there is any unexpected gain!
Joseph I's face was a little slow and said: "This is also expected, in order to protect the hatred between Serbia, it is impossible for the Bulgarians to do the right thing with us in order to support them!
However, we have thrown out southern Serbia. The Bulgarian government still refuses to send troops to Serbia. This is not the character of Ferdinand. It seems that the Russians have put a lot of pressure on them!
The rebels must be resolved as soon as possible, otherwise changes may occur! "
Joseph's worries are not unreasonable. The one who knows himself best is always your enemy. He knows the style of the Russians.
Now in the Balkans, the Russians have taken the upper hand. If the rebels are delayed, who knows if the Russians see the advantage, will they change their plans again?
The chief of staff thought for a while and said: "In this battle with the rebels, many problems have also been exposed, and great problems have occurred in the coordination of the various units.
It's okay to deal with mobs like the rebels. If you deal with the Russians, I am afraid you will suffer a lot! "
...
Ferdinand probably did not know that under his butterfly effect, the Austro-Hungarian Empire exposed the problems in the army ahead of time. When the First War broke out, there might be a different Austro-Hungarian army!
Of course, even if you know Ferdinand, you don’t care. Finding a problem and solving a problem are completely two concepts. How could the Vienna government know nothing about the issue of the Austro-Hungarian army?
Unless the Austro-Hungarian Empire can unify the language, or let the officers learn eight languages ​​like the old emperor, otherwise the problem of command confusion still cannot be solved!
Although the Austro-Hungarian Empire will add a group of officers with combat experience in this war, there is no way to solve the problem of command confusion.
The combat effectiveness of the Austro-Hungarian army may have improved in small-scale battles; however, it is still a problem that they can exert some combat effectiveness in general battles!
The ruthless Austro-Hungarian Empire is not a mob of Serbian insurgents that can stand it! Even if they had the Black Mountain Kingdom as nurses, they couldn't change the ending!
When Joseph went crazy, Conrad, the front-line commander of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, whether or not he violated the sovereignty of the Montenegro Kingdom, swaggered through the territory of the Montenegro Kingdom, cutting off the back of the rebel army.
Fortunately, when Nicholas I was young and full of energy, he abruptly endured this breath. Otherwise, the First World War will not break out early!
Oh, Nicholas I can't bear it! The Russians said that they are not free now, and the Far East strategy has made some progress, and Montenegro is no longer a concern.
Not to mention Bulgaria, Ferdinand said: If Nicholas I thinks he is the protagonist, he can go up and challenge the Austro-Hungarian Empire. We will support you spiritually.
Taking into account the difference in the strength of the two sides, Nicholas I decisively chose to admit counsel!
Then, the Serbian insurgents were unlucky. After the supplies were cut off, they were fought back and forth. The nature of the rabble was exposed and began to retreat!
By the end of August 1898, the Serbian insurgents announced that they had withdrawn from the stage of history, and the remaining fish that slipped through the net were no longer a concern.
After the Serbian rebels were put down, the Austro-Hungarian army did not withdraw, but was scattered and stationed in Serbia.
The Vienna government declared that Serbia was under military control and put under house arrest at the top of the Serbian government, only one step away from annexation!
Now King Alexander I of Serbia is bargaining with the Austro-Hungarian Empire, and it seems that he intends to sell a good price.
Unfortunately, Alexander I took too much of his influence.
Historically, in his ten years in power, UU Reading www.uukanshu.com conducted four coups, overturned the twelfth government, abolished the constitution several times, and took a ten-year-old palace lady. Was assassinated.
In this time and space, although he did not have time to cause so many bad things, he also increased taxes several times to the people, and led Serbia to an epic defeat, which is already notorious!
Along with his father, King Milan, he was listed as the "least popular person" by the Serbs. Now he still wants to keep his status as a king and become a member of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. How could Vienna agree?
Now the duality of the Austro-Hungarian Empire is already troublesome enough. If another Serbian kingdom comes to become a ternary empire, it is estimated that Joseph will have his scalp numb!
Seeing the smooth progress of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, Ferdinand regretted a bit. If it hadn’t been for the Serbian war that had beaten Serbia too badly before, the Serbs would not be finished so soon.
You know, in the First World War, Serbia and the Austro-Hungarian Empire died for two years before they were finished. Now this has just begun, it's over!
Well, the annexation of Serbia by the Austro-Hungarian Empire in the Balkans is undoubtedly an earth-shattering event.
However, because they had a good deal with the Russians before, and there was another accident in the Manchurian and Qing dynasties, Mao Xiong was busy taking advantage, hoping for stability in Europe, he did not interfere.
Without the intervention of the Russians, Ferdinand knew that no one could stop Austria-Hungary from annexing Serbia! But this is not a good thing for Bulgaria!
From now on, the good days of Bulgaria are gone forever! Of course, in the short term, the Austro-Hungarian Empire has no energy to find bad luck in Bulgaria. It has just annexed Bosnia and Herzegovina, and now it has eaten Serbia. The internal problems they have to face will only be greater than Ferdinand!
