"The treaty of alliance is sacred, and any country that violates the treaty will be punished. Before the outbreak of the World War, Austria-Hungary formed an alliance with the Empire. After defeating the enemy, they enjoyed the benefits of the victorious country. However, now they have tore up the treaty without authorization, withdrawn from the alliance and betrayed the allies for their own selfish interests. Such behavior is extremely immoral and shameless. The German Reich was ashamed to be an ally with such a country. And, for the good of the Reich, the German Empire will punish Austria-Hungary and make them pay for it! At the same time, Kaiser Qin Tian also made a radio speech to the entire population of the German Empire about the reasons for the Empire's declaration of war on Austria-Hungary.

In order to gain popular support, Germany will, of course, put all the blame on Austria-Hungary. It was as if the German Empire was really at a disadvantage and had been wronged. In this way, we will undoubtedly be able to arouse the anger of the people and gain their support.

Qin Tian's approach was undoubtedly successful. The people of the German Empire, after the Empire won the World War, began to consider themselves the inhabitants of the world's most powerful country. Both self-esteem and self-confidence have been greatly enhanced.

Austria-Hungary fought alongside the Empire in the last war. Although the performance was terrible, after all, it dragged a lot of enemies for the German Empire, so that the German Empire could win the future war. The people of the empire were still very friendly and grateful to Austria-Hungary. But in Franz? Joseph I was seriously ill and ceased to be a member of the council, but Crown Prince Karl was in charge of state affairs. Relations between Germany and Austria-Hungary began to cool.

The German government also deliberately propagandized to mislead the public that in the world war, Austria-Hungary not only did not help the empire, but even dragged the empire back. Crown Prince Karl's hostility to Germany was likewise propagandized. This made the people of the empire less and less favorable to Austria-Hungary.

After the German Emperor Qin Tian declared war on Austria-Hungary, countless imperial citizens shouted angrily: "War! War! Punish shameless betrayers! ”

Yes, all the populaces of Germany as a whole already considered Austria-Hungary a traitor. They strongly demanded that the imperial government and army punish Austria-Hungary.

Of course, there are also some anti-war voices. It's just that compared to the people of the empire who demand war, this part of the voice is too small, and it has no influence at all, and it is directly drowned in the angry roar of the people of the empire.

"Order the forward troops, cross the border and enter the territory of Austria-Hungary! If the Austro-Hungarian armies resisted, then crush them! "The German commanders at the front gave orders one after another.

For a time, the German army, which had been prepared for a long time, crossed the border and entered the territory of Austria-Hungary.

Vienna, the capital of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, is now in shambles. Germany actually declared war on them, which means that war is inevitable. Although, many of the top brass of Austria-Hungary had already guessed that there was a great possibility of war. However, at this moment, they realized that the war really broke out like this.

More Austro-Hungarian officials and people were at a loss for what to do. Germany is now the world's leading power. The strength of Germany, as a neighbor of Germany, is of course well aware of it. Now that Germany has declared war on Austria-Hungary, they have all been thrown into a panic. After all, they did not consider Austria-Hungary to be an opponent of Germany, and Austria-Hungary would definitely lose the war.

Even the generals and soldiers of the Austro-Hungarian army were not optimistic about the Austro-Hungarian Empire. After all, in the last world war, it already said it all. In the last world war, the Austrians were beaten by the Russians on the Eastern Front and suffered heavy losses. It was not until Emperor Qin Tian, who was still the crown prince at the time, personally led the 8th Army Corps, which was less than 200,000 people, to the Eastern Front that it helped Austria-Hungary defeat the Russian army in one fell swoop. Otherwise, Austria-Hungary might have lost that war.

Therefore, the soldiers of Austria-Hungary were extremely reluctant to go to war with the Germans. In their eyes, this is clearly to send them to death. It was not only the soldiers of Austria-Hungary who were reluctant to fight the Germans, but also the Austrian soldiers. They hated Karl I very much, what did they do to provoke the German Empire? Well, now that Germany had declared war on Austria-Hungary, they were about to be killed by the Germans.

"Damn! The fact that the Germans actually framed the Reich and put the guilt of the traitor on the head of the Reich was absolutely unacceptable to the Reich. The reason why the Reich withdrew from the alliance was completely forced by the Germans. If it weren't for the fact that they did everything possible to suppress the Empire, how could the Empire withdraw from the Allies? "In the Imperial Palace in Vienna, Karl I was furious. Although he also thought that war might be inevitable, he also did not expect that the Germans would declare war on Austria-Hungary so cleanly without any hesitation.

This made Karl I a little worried, and it seemed that all this was really planned by the Germans. The withdrawal of Austria-Hungary from the Central Powers gave the Germans a pretext to go to war. If that's the case, it's scary. How could the Germans have expected all this?

"Coincidence, it must be a coincidence!" Karl I kept telling himself this in his heart. It seems that this can make him feel a lot more at ease.

"Your Majesty, the German army has already crossed the border, are we going to launch a counterattack?" Marshal Baron Hezendorf asked.

"Fight back! Of course it's going to fight back. Now it is the Germans who are invading us, and if we do not fight back, how can we thwart the German attack. Order all the armies of Austria-Hungary to begin a counterattack against the Germans, driving them out of our territory. In any case, we are going to defeat them and defend Austria-Hungary! Karl I shouted loudly.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Marshal Baron Herzendorf nodded helplessly. Obviously, he did not think that they would be able to defeat the Germans in this battle. However, the war had already broken out, and as a soldier, he had no other way but to command the troops to resist the German invasion and fulfill his accusations.

"We want to expose to the whole world the plot of the Germans to invade Austria-Hungary, so that the countries of the world can see the face of the Germans. Also, send a telegram to the Americans, according to our agreement, it's time for them to support us! Karl I ordered.
