"Your Majesty, I heard that Crown Prince Oscar has rushed to the front, I hope to go to the front line, get to know this talented crown prince, and at the same time, boost the morale of the troops on the front line!" Austro-Hungarian Crown Prince Karl vs. Franz? Joseph I said. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

Franz? Joseph I thought for a few seconds, then nodded in agreement. Franz of old age? Joseph I knew very well about Crown Prince Karl's thoughts. It was nothing more than jealousy of the brilliant achievements of the German Crown Prince at such a young age. Still, Franz? Joseph I thought that there was no harm in letting Crown Prince Karl see and see his own gaps. After all, now Karl is the crown prince of Austria-Hungary, Franz? Joseph I also counted on the future Crown Prince Karl to lead the Austro-Hungarian Empire to a stronger one.

The headquarters of the Austrian army on the Eastern Front, located in Uzhhorod. Because of the importance of the Eastern Front, the Chief of the General Staff of the Austrian Army, Franz? Conrad? Field Marshal Baron Herzendorf personally sat here to direct the Austrian troops and the Russian army in a big battle. It's just that in the battles over the past few days, the Austrian army has almost won fewer victories and more defeats. If this continues, I am afraid that it will not be long before they will be defeated by the Russian army.

Previously, the Austrian army had assembled a total of four armies on the Eastern Front, namely the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th armies, all of which were elite units of the Austrian army. However, because of the betrayal of the Kingdom of Italy, the 1st Army had to return to the country, leaving the front line with only three armies and more than 700,000 men. And the Russian army on the opposite side has recovered to 4 army groups, and, according to the information they have received, there is also a Russian army group army, which is on the way to come.

The crushing defeat of the Russian army in the Kingdom of Poland made Tsar Nicholas II very annoyed, and of course, it also made him know the strength of the German army. In order to vent his anger, Nicholas II had no choice but to take aim at Austria-Hungary. In the eyes of the tsar and the senior generals of the Russian army, the Germans were too powerful to deal with. But the Austro-Hungarian Empire was different. If Austria-Hungary can be beaten badly, or even defeated completely, Russia will be able to regain face on the battlefield. It can even create better chances for the subsequent defeat of Germany.

In doing so, the Russians naturally put Austria-Hungary under greater pressure on the Eastern Front.

The command of the Eastern Front of the Austrian army, Marshal Baron Hetzendorf, and the commanders of several army groups, were waiting for the arrival of Crown Prince Karl. The crown prince wants to inspect the front line, which is undoubtedly a big event for the generals of these front lines. What's more, Archduke Friedrich, one of the commanders of the Austro-Hungarian* army, will also come to the front with Crown Prince Karl. This makes the generals on the front line pay more attention.

"Your Excellency, Chief of Staff, the present situation is becoming more and more unfavorable for Austria-Hungary and the Central Powers as a whole. The Italians were despicable and shameless, and actually betrayed us and took refuge in the Entente. If we had known that they would have driven them out, we should have attacked them at the beginning of the war and defeated them. "An Austrian general with an angry face, he is the commander of the Austrian 2nd Army Bohm? Admiral Al Morley.

"The betrayal of the Italians was indeed unexpected. However, if we are to keep the Italians, we will have to pay a lot of territory on the Adriatic coast. This was equally unacceptable to Austria-Hungary. Marshal Baron Herzendorf said with a cold face. For Austria-Hungary, Italy was undoubtedly their old enemy. Germany sided with Austria-Hungary on this issue, which made the Austro-Hungarian generals very grateful.

"The situation is not in our favor though. However, the war has only just begun, and it is difficult to say who will win and who will lose. Our German allies have been quite impressive in this war! Not only did the German Army once again prove to the world that their title of number one in the world was not for nothing. The German Navy also fought very well, and even suppressed the British Royal Navy. Therefore, we are not without a chance to win this battle. "said the commander of the 3rd Austrian Army, Colonel-General Boroyevich.

The generals of the Olympic army all nodded their heads again and again, agreeing with this point of view.

Although, the Austrian army's performance in this war was very bad, and it was completely inconsistent with their national strength, which made these Austrian generals ashamed. But, fortunately, their ally, the German Empire, fought very well. Therefore, they are not worried about losing this battle. If the German Reich had won the war, they would have been able to hitchhike and become the victors of the war and share in the dividends of the war.

Several luxury Daimler A-class cars, guarded by a squad of cavalry, arrived at the headquarters. Baron Herzendorf, Marshal Herzendorf and others immediately greeted him.

As a close ally of the German Empire, many German products were able to flourish in the Austro-Hungarian Empire. As a model of luxury cars, Daimler's A-class has naturally become the object of pursuit by senior officials and military generals of the Austro-Hungarian government. This time, Crown Prince Karl arrived at the front in this kind of car.

"Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince, Your Excellency, on behalf of the front-line soldiers, I welcome you to the frontline." Marshal Baron Herzendorf, with a smile on his face.

"Well, Your Excellency, you are too gracious. Has the German crown prince arrived? When Crown Prince Karl got out of the car, he looked around.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, His Royal Highness Oscar has not yet arrived, we contacted before, and it is estimated that it will not be there until tomorrow." Marshal Baron Hezendorf said.

"Tomorrow? Hum! It's really good at putting on a show. Crown Prince Karl snorted coldly. In his opinion, Qin Tian was the crown prince of Germany, and he was also the crown prince of Austria-Hungary. Whether it is identity or status, he is no worse than Qin Tian. Even, he was one year older than Qin Tian. No matter what, it should have been Qin Tian who arrived first to greet him.

Marshal Baron Herzendorf was a little speechless, and he now felt that it did not seem to be a good thing for Crown Prince Karl to go to the front. If you anger the Germans and stop reinforcing them, then this will be a problem!

Marshal Baron Herzendorf hurriedly looked at Archduke Friedrich and asked him for help.

Grand Duke Friedrich, knowing what Marshal Baron Herzendorf meant: "His Royal Highness Oskar is coming from Berlin, it takes more time, let's wait a minute!" ā€

The next day, Qin Tian rushed all the way to Wuzhhorod. The troops of the 8th Army Corps had already rushed to the front line and were not with Qin Tian.
