"The German Empire wants to annex Austria?" Baron Belhidold's eyes widened. He never imagined that Germany would actually fight such an idea. Originally, he and the ministers of the Austro-Hungarian Empire believed that the abdication of Karl I and the dissolution of the Austro-Hungarian Empire would calm the anger of the German Empire. After all, the Austrian Empire at that time posed no threat to Germany.

However, Baron Belchdot now knew that everyone underestimated the appetite of the Germans. The appetite of the young emperor of the German Empire was greater than anyone could have imagined.

"Your Majesty, after the Austro-Prussian War, Austria has already withdrawn from Germany. Now, more than half a century has passed. The Austrians no longer had a sense of belonging and identity to the German Empire. If His Majesty forcibly annexed Austria, it would surely provoke the Austrians to revolt. Austria has a population of nearly 20 million. Among them, only about 70 percent are Germans. Baron Belchdold said.

He tried his best to get Kaiser Qin Tian to dispel his attempt to annex Austria. Although, he knew it was very difficult. However, for the sake of the country's future, he still has to try his best.

"I know, but I believe that as long as you are German, you will recognize the German Empire. Today, the German Empire is the world's leading power. I think those Germans will be more than happy to be citizens of the world's most powerful country! Qin Tian said with a smile.

Although family planning has already been implemented in Germany, it will take at least 20 years to see results. In order to further increase the population of Germany, Qin Tian had to hit Austria with his idea. Of Austria's population of 20 million, only about 70 percent are Germans. But when you add in Germany's own population, that's more than 70 million. It can be said that the annexation of Austria will make Germany more powerful in population and more powerful. Therefore, Qin Tian would never give up the annexation of Austria.

"Your Majesty, if Germany forcibly annexes Austria, we will resist to the end. Although, the Austro-Hungarian Empire has fallen apart. However, Austria is still not weak. When the time comes, the German Empire will pay a great price. Baron Belchdold threatened. Since the soft ones can't work, then the only ones are hard.

"Really? Your Excellency, I am very much looking forward to the performance of your country's army. However, I believe that the army of the German Empire was the most powerful, and the final victory must be ours. If your country is really obsessed, it will only add unnecessary casualties. Qin Tian didn't get angry, but said with a smile.

Baron Belhidot, utterly hopeless. He knew that nothing would work. It was impossible to disrupt the German Empire's plans to annex Austria.

"Well, Your Majesty, the requirements of the German Empire, I already know. I'll pass it on to the country! Baron Belchdold said. Now he seems very helpless, and the whole person seems to be a lot older.

"Your Excellency, the annexation of Austria by the German Empire is already irreversible. In order to avoid unnecessary casualties, I hope that Austria-Hungary will take the initiative to cooperate. I can promise you that after the annexation of Austria by the Empire, I will try to take care of your interests. Qin Tian said.

Baron Belchdald nodded, didn't say anything, and after saluting Qin Tian, he turned around and left.

"Vahit, isn't it too cruel for us to do this?" Qin Tian asked.

"No, Your Majesty. Everything we did was for the benefit of the German Reich. For the sake of the Empire, we have to do that. Washitt said.

Qin Tian nodded, indeed, everything was for the benefit of the German Empire. As long as this is the premise, no matter what you do, it is understandable.

Baron Belhidold, returned to the embassy. Although the two countries are already at war, the embassy is not yet closed. Therefore, Baron Belchfew could use the radio station here to communicate with the country.

By the time Baron Belchdold watched the transmitter send the telegram with his own eyes, it was already late at night.

"Oh God! Are we really abandoned? Baron Belchdodd muttered. He had a feeling that with Franz? With the death of Joseph I, it was as if the Austro-Hungarian Empire had ceased to exist.

Vienna, the capital of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, the Chancellery, and the military and political ministers of the Austro-Hungarian Empire were all stationed here. Although, it was already late at night, and everyone was yawning. But no one left. They could not sleep well until they received a telegram from Baron Belhidold.

"Your Excellency, Prime Minister, Your Excellency. Your Excellency the Foreign Secretary has sent a telegram! The secretary reported.

Mario? Chancellor Webb immediately took the telegram and read it. Everyone else gathered behind him and read the telegram together.

"Bastard! The Germans actually want to annex us! What a big appetite they have! War Secretary Duke Casbah scolded.

The faces of Archduke Friedrich and Baron Herzendorf were also very ugly. Germany's attempt made their soldiers lose face.

"We've compromised, but the Germans still won't let us go?" The Chancellor of the Exchequer, Duke Andras, was also furious.

"Gentlemen, what shall we do now? Baron Berchdot had already made it very clear that the Germans were determined to annex Austria. It is almost impossible for them to discourage this attempt. "Mario? Chancellor Weber said.

"Perhaps, even if we resist to the end, we will not be able to prevent the Germans from annexing Austria. But we could not do nothing and allow the Germans to easily annex Austria. We want to show the Germans that the Austrians are also bloody! Archduke Friedrich said.

"Yes, the only way is for the Germans to see our determination, for them to see our strength. In this way, they will give up their unrealistic delusions! Marshal Baron Herzendorf also said.

"Then let's fight to the end!" Said the Minister of War, Duke Casbah.

Although, they all know that even if they fight to the end, they will not have any chance of winning. However, after trying to compromise and not getting what they wanted, they had no choice but to fight to the death. At a time when the state was about to cease to exist, their blood was also stimulated.
