Chapter 188: Can't bury their own pit

Schönbrunn Palace
Prince Wendy Schgrez marked the map's retreat route for the Ottoman army, and then a large group of Austrian governments looked at the map in a daze.
That's right, I'm in a daze, and I'm stunned. Whoever knows the details will be surprised at what the Ottoman Empire is doing now.
Shrinking the defense line is very normal, but this time the Ottomans obviously shrank too much.
It is understandable to abandon Serbia's northern plains. A Maping River could not stop an attack by the Austrian army, but the southern mountainous regions, Kosovo, and Bosnia and Herzegovina gave up their brains.
Even if only a small number of troops are left, organizing a group of militia, taking advantage of terrain, can also hold Austria's march speed.
If the momentum is not right, you can fall above the mountains and attack the logistics line of Austria. It can be said that this is the most basic military common sense.
I dare not say in other regions, at least in Bosnia and Herzegovina, there are still a large number of supporters of the Ottoman Empire, so it was simply God's operation to give up in vain.
Give up and give up. Why leave Belgrade in the middle? Even if this city is so important, if you give it up in all directions, a lone city can't be defended?
Anyway, Franz couldn't understand what medicine was bought in the Ottoman gourd, which should not be done in military or political.
This is almost the same as giving up ...
Thinking that IQ was not enough, Franz asked, "Who can tell me, what does the Ottoman want?"
Metternich speculated: "His Majesty, probably after the defeat of the Bulgarian campaign, the Ottoman government panicked, wanted to concentrate its forces on the Russians, and made a decision in a hurry.
The unlucky guy who stayed behind in Belgrade was mostly a loser in the Ottoman struggle for power and was pitted by political opponents.
Even now Belgrade may not have 20,000 troops, or it may be a bunch of crooked dates, deliberately placed there to die. "
It's not surprising that these things happened in this magical country of Ottoman. The performance of the Sudanese government is not bad. At least they have not left the capital and are still organizing the army to fight the Russians. The only thing they have given up is to "change the barren land outside."
Everyone nodded, and normal logic didn't make sense, it could only be a problem with the Sudanese government. It seems that in everyone's impression, they are at this level.
It can only be said that the Sudanese government has done more stupid things, and adding one more is not so unacceptable. As one of the two wonder empires in the world, if there is nothing that makes people laugh, then there will be problems.
Franz waved his hand and said, "Let's say that the Ottoman government has flooded its brain. What should we do now? Should we send troops to recover the homeland behind the Ottoman army or find an excuse to keep the soldiers alone?"
Don't ask why it turned into regaining your homeland. Just look at Franz's long list of titles. You can always find the legal basis by looking carefully.
It doesn't matter if you are far-fetched, this thing was originally used as a cover cloth, proving that Austria did not wage a war of aggression, but was regaining its homeland.
The Habsburgs are too old, the talent for marriage is a little too strong, and then leave a bunch of titles.
Even if these places have not been ruled by the Habsburgs, they have also been ruled by the once-married families, and they can always be tested as long as they are needed.
Franz did not expect European countries to admit it, as long as they could live in a local population, or to provide an excuse for those who want to take refuge in Austria.
There are a lot of people in this world who are arrogant. Everyone wants to be face-saving. It is a good reason to set aside any disorder and restore orthodoxy.
At present, the two principalities of Moldavia and Wallachia are advancing very well. Those who are willing to turn to Austria have recognized Franz's orthodoxy.
Those who are unwilling to turn to Austria are naturally the remnants of the Ottoman Empire. They belong to the target of the blow, and have been suppressed with the help of the Leading Party.
The successful rule experience can be replicated. Since it is possible to rule Romania with Austrian Romanians, it is also possible to rule Serbia with Austrian Serbs.
What seemed to come to mind, Franz added: "It is stated in advance that Serbia and Bosnia and Herzegovina are not within our target range this time.
Austria doesn't have such a good appetite, no matter what the end result, we won't annex these areas this time! "
The Prime Minister Felix said, "Your Majesty, it's all here, and you have to do a full set of acting.
Arm a group of reserve forces, first take over the site abandoned by the Ottomans. Even if we give up in the future, we can fight for our interests at the negotiating table. "
In order not to disperse the main force, reserve forces can be used at this time. Austria has a large reserve, and it is easy to send tens of thousands of people out.
These troops have limited combat effectiveness and may suffer losses from the British and French coalition forces, but they are not advised when they encounter the Ottoman army.
Franz can proudly say that Austria's reserve force training is better than the regular Ottoman army.
Treasurer Carl shook his head and said, "It's not that simple. The Ottomans are prepared.
According to the information we received, the roads and bridges in these areas were destroyed by the Ottomans. They also destroyed the farmland, burned away food and supplies, and finally forced a large number of young people to leave.
We occupied these areas and could not get any supplements locally, and it was difficult to find even the road maintenance workers.
Even we have to provide a large amount of food to help the refugees in war, and the Ottomans are ready to use this to hold us back.
But in fact, we are not ready to continue the war. In addition to the heavy financial burden on us, occupying these areas can only wait for the benefits of the post-war negotiation table.
I don't think that the gains made at the negotiating table can make up for our current expenses. It's better to support a regime locally, anyway we are not ready to annex here. "
In the face of the Ottoman empire's tactics of killing eight hundred and losing three thousand, Franz had to persuade-convince.
After so much toss, even if these areas are kept in the future, they should not want to rule safely.
Of course, they can also be said to have a foresight, knowing that the Balkan Peninsula will not be able to keep it, simply give up and concentrate on defending the core areas along the strait.
Since we are going to abandon, of course we cannot leave good things to the enemy. If it is not because the city cannot be burned by stones, they will learn Dong Zhuo's shoes to burn the city once.
Prince Wendy Schgrez objected: "No! Even if these areas are left in the hands of the Ottomans, it is better than establishing a local government.
In the hands of the Ottomans, they are not popular, and we can take them back at any time. If they are independent, it will be easy to annex these areas in the future, but it will be difficult to rule them.
The territory of the European continent is basically stable. The only place we can continue to expand is the Balkan Peninsula. This road must not be blocked.
This is related to the long-term development of Austria in the future. Once the overseas colonization strategy is blocked, we can only seek expansion in the Balkans.
In this age of world wars, we are sailing against the water, and if we do not advance, we will retreat. The future development space must be left. "
After listening to the explanation of Prince Wendy Schgrez, Franz's eyes brightened, and he was able to leave a great reputation in history.
Prince Wendi Schgrez's military capabilities may only be considered average, but from the strategic perspective of national development, it is very accurate.
Especially that sentence, "the future development space must be left", which is very classic in Franz's view.
Capitalist economy, if the road to external expansion is blocked, can only rely on internal development. This means that external plundering has become internal squeezing, and disaster is coming.
Why did the Germans challenge the world order in history? Is it really because of ambition?
The reality is very cruel. Germany has reached its limit. There are only two fate waiting for them without provoking war:
Either domestic conflicts have intensified, revolution has erupted, and wealth has been redistributed;
Either artificially reduce the speed of development, use extraordinary means to survive the crisis, and then slowly decline.
Neither of these fate is acceptable to the German government. In the absence of both industrial raw materials and commodity sales markets, in order to gain space for continued development, they chose war.
"From a military perspective, winning Belgrade is very important for Austria's national defense security. It is safe to master the city's Pannonian plains." Marshal Radsky analyzed
The Pannonia Plain is located in Hungary, Austria, Croatia, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Serbia, and Ukraine. The surrounding area includes Slovenia and Bosnia.
This is where Austria's granaries are located, and its strategic significance is very important. The occupation of Belgrade not only resolved the military threat from the Balkans, but also turned it into an initiative, becoming strategically attackable and defensive.
Putting such a strategic place in the hands of the Ottomans, Franz was relieved that the declining Ottoman Empire did not have the courage to do things, and it would be difficult to say if it was a new Balkan country.
Historically, the Balkan countries have staged flower styles to die. In case this supportive younger brother stabbed Austria behind the critical moment, it would be fatal.
Franz didn't dare to bet on their integrity. All the righteousness before the national interest was false, and only interest was real.
A big Serbianism will make the new regime separate from Austria and become an insurmountable enemy. It is impossible for Franz to send half of Austria to his younger brother, right?
Franz rightly said: "The Serbian region must not establish an independent country. No matter how much it costs, we will not allow the Balkans to have a great power. If so, it can only be Austria.
If I had to choose, I would rather let the Ottomans occupy the Balkans, or divide the Balkans with the Russians, rather than see them independent.
Austria is a multi-ethnic country. At this critical moment of formal ethnic integration, the establishment of any independent country may have uncontrollable consequences.
Nationalism in the Balkans has just begun to emerge, and we cannot give them room to grow, at least Serbs and Romanians cannot be independent.
Otherwise, you can think about the emergence of an independent Serbia and Romania, what would the Serbs and Romanians in the country think. "
The decides the head. Perhaps the former life Franz also sympathized with the Balkan peninsula country, and it no longer exists.
In this age of strong meat, everyone is desperately strengthening themselves. It has nothing to do with right or wrong, only interests.
In other words, in the history of the Balkan countries, the struggle is very tragic, but everyone's conflict of interest is too serious, concession is death, then you can only fight.
It is unfortunate that because of too much emphasis on immediate interests, the Balkan countries failed in the end, and none of them achieved their goals.
The independence of the other Balkan nations is independent, and there are few in Austria anyway, except Serbia and Romania, which together are close to nine percent.
It took some time to start the assimilation. If there were two independent nations and nothing happened, then the only thing Franz could do was to pack all these people back to the two countries.
Franz couldn't do this kind of brain-damaged thing. He did not forget that in history, the Austro-Hungarian Empire supported the independence of Serbia and Romania, and then he dug himself in a pit he dug.
