The Ottoman Empire’s entry into the Allies declared war on the Allies, which undoubtedly further strengthened the Allied powers.
At the same time, given the geographical location of the Ottoman Empire, it undoubtedly caused great trouble for the Entente group.
If nothing else, the Russian Empire alone could no longer obtain supplies through the Black Sea. This was undoubtedly a heavy blow to the Tsarist Empire, which was trying to expand its army on a large scale.
Moreover, the Tsarist Empire had to deploy more troops along the Black Sea coast and the Caucasus to prepare for the Ottoman Empire’s attack.
Although the Ottoman Empire was known as the sick man of West Asia, it was completely reduced to the target of humiliation by the European powers over the years. But when the Ottoman Empire was fully mobilized, its strength could not be underestimated.
After all, the army of the Tsarist Empire was not strong in combat. The reason why they can become strong is entirely due to the large number of people. The strength of a single soldier is not good at all. Even if it is a little stronger than the Ottomans, it is also very limited.
The ottoman empire joined the Allied bloc and once again caused an uproar around the world.
Not only did it offset the adverse effects of caesar’s betrayal of the Allies, but it also made the speculation about the war once again confusing.
In the end, which side can win the war, I am afraid that this can only be known after the fight.
Austria-Hungary, Veena, Schönbrunn Palace.
Emperor Franz Joseph I, despite his age and lack of energy, had to summon his ministers to discuss the current situation. Especially when The Crown Prince Carl was still very young and inexperienced, he needed to teach him well.
“Gentlemen, the Germanic Empire has officially informed us that we shall send an army to guard the alps against the Kingdom of Caesar. Moreover, it also requires us to mobilize more troops on the Eastern Front to resist the attack of the Russian Empire and to buy time for the German Empire to completely crush the Sun and the Gauls on the Western Front. What do you think about this? Franz Joseph I asked.
“Your Majesty, I really cannot understand why the Germanic Empire persecuted the Kingdom of Caesar and forced them into our enemies. Wouldn’t it be better if the Kingdom of Caesar continued to remain silent and neutral? In this way, we will not be able to contain a considerable part of our strength. Archduke Carl’s face was angry, obviously very dissatisfied with this.
“The Germanic Empire forced the Kingdom of Caesar to take sides, and eventually let the Kingdom of Caesar betray the alliance and become our enemy, and indeed it was a little too hasty. However, this is a good thing for us. After all, there are also many contradictions between us and the kingdom of Caesar. However, before everyone was an ally, many issues needed to be restrained. But this time, the Kingdom of Caesar became our enemy. As long as we can win the war. Then, caesar’s kingdom will no longer have the power to turn over. Said the Foreign Secretary, Count Belhidord.
The other Austro-Hungarian high-rankings also nodded their heads, and the Austro-Hungarian Empire and the Caesar Kingdom had territorial disputes. Even the Kingdom of Caesar attempted to expand into the Balkans, something that the Austro-Hungarian Empire could not tolerate.
If we can use this war to completely destroy the kingdom of Caesar, it is naturally the best.
“However, when the kingdom of Caesar becomes our enemy, it will further strengthen our enemy. If we want to win, it will be even more difficult! Archduke Karl was clearly unconvinced.
“The Germanic Empire did this obviously with their intentions. Or rather, they were confident that Caesar’s kingdom wouldn’t cause us too much trouble. In particular, the Ottoman Empire has joined the Alliance, and our strength has also been strengthened. The biggest problem for us is that next spring, when the Germanic Empire launches a large-scale offensive to the west, the Tsarist Empire will certainly take the opportunity to launch a large-scale offensive on the eastern front in order to reduce the pressure on the Empire and the Gaul Empire. We must resist the attack of the Tsarist Empire.
This was not just to help the Germanic Empire and to help them create favorable conditions and opportunities. At the same time, for our own sake. Don’t forget, Galicia has fallen into the hands of the Tsarist Empire. We have retreated to the Carpathians. If it is defeated by the Tsarist Russians again, it will be an endless plain, and it will be difficult to resist the attack of the Tsarist Russians! ”
Marshal Baron Herzendorf, Chief of the General Staff of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, had a serious expression.
“That’s right, my generals. The most important thing before the Empire now is to resist the Russian attack after the arrival of spring. Even launched a counterattack to drive the Russians out of Galicia in one fell swoop! Franz Joseph I said emphatically.
Although the Austro-Hungarian army was not very effective, it also made the Austrian Emperor Franz Joseph I very nervous.
How he wished that the armies of austria-Hungary would be able to fight like the armies of the Germanic Empire! In that case, the Austro-Hungarian Empire would probably not have so many problems, and would have risen long ago.
“Your Majesty, we are ready. This time, the Russians did not want to defeat us again. We have assembled two million troops along the Carpathians. In the future, we continue to mobilize more troops into the battle. Archduke Frederick, commander of the Austro-Hungarian Army, said.
Franz Joseph I nodded. Now, he could only choose to trust these generals.
Archduke Carl opened his mouth, wanting to say something more. However, in the end, it was not spoken.
After the meeting, Franz Joseph I left Archduke Karl behind.
“Karl, what do you think of today’s meeting?” Franz Joseph I asked.
“Your Majesty, are we too risky in this? In case the Germans could not defeat the Gauls and the Suns on the Western Front. Well, the situation will be very unfavorable to us. Archduke Karl said.
“Karl, you know, we have no other options now. If the Germanic Empire had won. Then we will win this war. If the Germanic Empire failed, we would not have a good end. Therefore, we can only pray for the victory of the Germanic Empire! Franz Joseph I said.
Archduke Karl nodded and said nothing more.
When Franz Joseph I saw this, he could not help but sigh.
He knew that Archduke Karl was indeed not a qualified heir to the throne! However, he had no other choice! He only hoped that, after his death, Archduke Karl would be able to continue to maintain the Austro-Hungarian Empire, and not let the Austro-Hungarian Empire collapse, let alone be annexed by the Germanic Empire.
