BXBX NOVEL Chapter 960: Stealing chickens is not enough to lose rice (ask for a monthly ticket)
"Austro-Hungarian Empire did have an accident. After the German offensive began, the Grand Duke of Bohemia issued an order requiring all Bohemian troops to lay down their arms and surrender to the Germans. The German army spread throughout Bohemia The Sub-Kingdom did not encounter any obstacles at all. Now, they are rapidly advancing towards Austria!" President Woodrow Wilson said.
"The Germans bought the Grand Duke of Bohemia. They must have reached some kind of agreement in private. The biggest possibility is that the Germans promised to support the independence of the Kingdom of Bohemia after defeating the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Only in this way, The Grand Duke of Bohemia will betray the Austro-Hungarian Empire." Brian analyzed.
President Woodrow Wilson nodded: "It is indeed possible. However, it is too late to say this now, and it is meaningless. The betrayal of the Kingdom of Bohemia has greatly damaged the strength of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. It may be very difficult for the Austro-Hungarian Empire to fight."
"Your Excellency, the Kingdom of Bohemia is not very strong in the Austro-Hungarian Empire. After deducting the Kingdom of Bohemia, the Austro-Hungarian Empire still has 80% of its strength. If they play well, it is not impossible to resist German," said Secretary of War Garrison.
"What I am worried about is that since the Kingdom of Bohemia has problems, then other states of the Austro-Hungarian Empire will definitely have problems as well. After all, if the Germans want to buy, it is impossible to just buy The Kingdom of Bohemia, the Kingdom of Hungary, and other states of the Austro-Hungarian Empire must also be the targets of the Germans. If those states all betray the Austro-Hungarian Empire, then the entire Austro-Hungarian Empire will fall apart. This One battle, and they\'re lost. And they\'re going to lose it soon!" said President Woodrow Wilson.
"Those countries will not all betray, right? After all, the Austro-Hungarian Empire has been established for half a century. No matter how stupid Karl I is, he should know how to control those countries!" Minister Garrison said.
"It\'s very difficult to say! All in all, the current situation in the Austro-Hungarian Empire is very bad. This time, our plan may fail." President Woodrow Wilson sighed.
The high-ranking officials in the U.S. government\'s cabinet all looked unsightly. You know, they invested 200 million U.S. dollars in order to set up the game this time. That is real money. If the Austro-Hungarian Empire fails, the two hundred million dollars will be in vain. In other words, if the Austro-Hungarian Empire failed quickly, then their two hundred million dollars would be worthless.
Finance Minister McAdoo was even more fortunate, fortunately, the one-billion-dollar interest-free loan promised to the Austro-Hungarian Empire had not yet been paid in time. Otherwise, their losses will be great.
Not long after, the secretary opened the door again and walked in.
"Is it bad news again?" President Woodrow Wilson asked.
The secretary nodded: "Yes, Your Excellency the President."
"Well, it looks like today is a bad day!" Woodrow? President Wilson said.
"The Kingdom of Hungary declared that it would strictly observe neutrality in this war. The prime minister of the Hungarian government even publicly declared that he would not pay for Karl I\'s stupid behavior. The Chief of Staff of the Hungarian Army, Baron Tobres, even ordered all Hungarian troops to stay in the barracks Inside, don\'t go out until the end of the war," the secretary said.
"Damn! Hungary is not Bohemia, they are much stronger than Bohemia. Their strength has accounted for one-third of the entire Austro-Hungarian Empire! The Kingdom of Hungary is neutral, so the Austro-Hungarian Empire is simply There is no need to continue the fight. Because this is completely meaningless. The betrayal of the Kingdom of Bohemia and the Kingdom of Hungary directly caused the Austro-Hungarian Empire to lose half of its strength. It is impossible for them to resist the German attack." Gary Minister Mori shook his head and said.
"The Germans must have been planning for a long time, otherwise, it would be impossible to directly make the Kingdom of Bohemia and the Kingdom of Hungary defect in such a short period of time." Bryan said.
"I suddenly have a feeling that the Germans have long been preparing to attack the Austro-Hungarian Empire. It\'s just that they haven\'t found a suitable excuse. Now, we are encouraging the Austro-Hungarian Empire to withdraw from the alliance, which just gives the German Empire an excuse." President Woodrow Wilson said.
For a while, all the senior officials of the US government cabinet were speechless. If everything is as President Woodrow Wilson said, then the Germans are too terrible.
"Gentlemen, it seems that the Austria-Hungary Empire can\'t last long. This time, we lost to the Germans again. After the Austria-Hungary Empire is defeated by the Germans, the threat around them will be lifted. And their strength, It will also increase a lot again. What we need to face in the future is a more difficult opponent." President Woodrow Wilson said.
The other cabinet ministers nodded. Everyone thinks that it will be even more difficult to defeat Germany.
"Your Excellency, it is still a telegram from the Austro-Hungarian Empire!" The secretary walked in again.
"Read it!" President Woodrow Wilson no longer expressed any hope.
"The Kingdom of Dalmatia, the Kingdom of Croatia-Snovonia and other states have declared their neutrality. Their troops do not obey the dispatch of the central government of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. In addition, the Austrian army on the front line also collapsed without fighting." said the secretary.
"It seems that the Austro-Hungarian Empire is clearly a country that is strong on the outside and capable on the inside. We have all been deceived by them!" Brian said.
"That\'s right! They are one of the world\'s most powerful countries, and they were victors in the last world war. I didn\'t expect it to end up like this." Minister Garrison also said.
These ministers of the US cabinet are very disappointed with the performance of the Austro-Hungarian Empire this time. Originally, they expected that a fierce war would break out between the Austro-Hungarian Empire and Germany. But now it seems that this is simply their extravagant hope.
"Your Excellency, what about the fleet?" Minister Daniels asked.
"Let the fleet go around the East Atlantic! Try not to conflict with the Germans." President Woodrow Wilson said.
