"Your Majesty, the Germans have appeared to the west and north of Vienna, the number of four armies. That is, the main forces of these four armies of the Germans had already arrived in Vienna. Excluding the troops they need to defend logistical supply lines, as well as important nodes, the German army that appeared in Vienna also had at least 600,000 people! "Marshal Baron Hezendorf reported to Karl I.

Karl I nodded expressionlessly and didn't say anything more. Although, at this critical juncture, they should have worked together to fight the Germans. However, Karl I was very dissatisfied with the fact that these military ministers had wanted to abandon him in exchange for the understanding of the Germans. Now, the Germans did not accept their sincerity, and there was no way but they could fight to the end. If they had known, they should not have had the luxury of gaining the understanding of the Germans.

After recognizing the essence of these guys, Karl I had no hope for them. Karl I even thought that it was because of these guys that Austria-Hungary would fall apart so quickly. Otherwise, as long as the entire Austro-Hungarian Empire can be united, even if it can't defeat the Germans, it can at least hold out for a long time. In that case, there may be variables. Once the United States and other countries joined the war against Germany, Austria-Hungary might be able to turn the tables on it. But it's because of these guys that it all came to naught.

As for the future, Karl I also had a plan. The commander of the Navy, Admiral Anton House, had already left Vienna and was heading for Trieste, the naval base. If Vienna could not hold out, Karl I would also leave here and go to Trieste to join Admiral Anton House. The fleet would then leave Austria-Hungary, go out of the Mediterranean, enter the Atlantic through Gibraltar, and finally go to the United States.

Karl I had decided that if the Austro-Hungarian Empire was to fall unavoidably, he would not remain as a dead king, but would choose to go into exile in the United States. At this point, he has secretly made contact with the American side. The United States welcomed his exile. Although, Karl I's prestige in the Austro-Hungarian Empire was not very good, but he was the emperor of the Austro-Hungarian Empire after all. At a critical time, unexpected effects may occur. For example, one day the United States will have the strength to counterattack the European continent. In that case, you will be able to bring Karl I with you.

"Your Majesty, we have now amassed half a million troops in Vienna. However, the morale of the troops was relatively poor. We hope that His Majesty will stand up and boost the morale of the troops. Let all the population of Austria-Hungary know that we did not give in to the Germans. We will be here, resist them! Archduke Friedrich said.

For the demands of these military giants, Karl I did not refuse and did not dare to refuse. Although he is the emperor, at this juncture, it is undoubtedly very difficult to say whether these guys will recognize his position as emperor, or when he is an emperor. If it doesn't work out, it will cause a fierce backlash. In that case, he will still suffer in the end.

Karl I, who had already made up his mind to leave Vienna and leave Austria-Hungary, would certainly not have problems on these issues.

"Yes, Your Excellency. We want to unite the entire population of Austria-Hungary against the Germans. We're going to make the Germans pay a heavy price in Vienna! Let them know that it is impossible to annex Austria and destroy Austria-Hungary! Karl I said excitedly, showing very strong. Of course, all this is nothing more than a drill.

The military ministers of the Austro-Crarian Empire were very satisfied with the performance of Karl I. In their opinion, Karl I, despite his many shortcomings. Even his reasons led to the fall of Austria-Hungary this time. However, at the last moment of the fall of the empire, Karl I was not frightened, but showed the courage to dare to fight to the end, which is also commendable.

Before the German attack, Karl I visited several military camps to boost the morale of the soldiers and hope that they would fight to the death against the Germans for the sake of the Reich.

Although, a lot of Austrian troops were frightened. However, the encouragement of Karl I still made many Austro-Hungarian soldiers muster up courage and determined to continue fighting.

When the Germans arrived in Vienna, they did not immediately attack. Hundreds of thousands of people gathered in Vienna, which required the consumption of a large amount of supplies. Moreover, the Austrian army has completed its assembly. This means that a great war will be fought here. The Germans will only attack if they are fully prepared. A large number of trucks from the logistics department are heading to Vienna to transport a large amount of war materials to Vienna to ensure that the German army can successfully take Vienna in a very short time.

In Berlin, the capital of Germany, Qin Tian was very concerned about this attack on Austria. You know, in order to solve the Austro-Hungarian Empire, Germany has been planning for a long time. Well, now it's time to see the final results. Eliminating Austria-Hungary would not only increase Germany's population by more than 10 million or nearly 20 million, but also gain a protectorate. There is no other country than one Bu Russia. And Burussia and Germany are now in the honeymoon period. And under the deception of Germany, increasing the construction of industrial and infrastructure will not pose a threat to Germany in a short period of time. This gave Germany plenty of time to digest the benefits gained in the war, especially the new territories and colonies. Germany will become even stronger in the future.

"Your Majesty, our army has arrived in Vienna. To the west and north of Vienna, we are encircled. The front-line generals asked for instructions on whether to completely encircle Vienna. "Feng? Marshal Falkenhein asked.

Qin Tian thought for a moment, then shook his head: "If it is completely surrounded, it will make the Austrian army determined to fight to the death." Leaving a gap will give them the desire to flee for their lives. In this case, their resistance will naturally not be resisted to the end. ”

Feng? Field Marshal Falkenhein nodded.

"Send a telegram to Marshal Hausen and tell him. The Battle of Vienna will be our last battle against Austria-Hungary. I hope that the front-line army will be able to win this battle cleanly and neatly at the lowest cost and in the shortest time. Qin Tian said.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Feng? Field Marshal Falkenhein nodded.
