"God bless you! His Majesty the Emperor It's great that you are safe and sound!" President of the United States Woodrow? Wilson looked happy.
Although, Karl I looks a lot more embarrassed and older now. But, he survived after all. This is undoubtedly a good thing for United States. At least, they can legitimately use the banner of Karl I to stir up trouble behind their backs. In other words, as long as they provide support to Karl I, Karl I will do everything possible to cause trouble for Germany.
"Yes! God bless! Although, God did not bless Austro-Hungarian Empire, and this great Empire was destroyed. But I firmly believe that God will not Abandon us. One day, Austro-Hungarian Empire will rise from the ashes again. At that time, we will definitely defeat the Germany people and make them pay for what they have done now!" Karl I said through gritted teeth.
After learning that Austro-Hungarian Empire Navy's entire army was wiped out and General Anton House died in battle, Karl I's anger towards Germany reached its peak. Even when Austro-Hungarian Empire was destroyed by Germany, he had never been so angry.
Admiral Anton House is very loyal to Karl I, which also makes Karl I attach great importance to Admiral Anton House, and will not hesitate to fully support Admiral Anton House in developing the navy. And Admiral Anton House did not disappoint him. Now, Admiral Anton House died fighting for the Austro-Hungarian Empire. And, he was sent out safely in advance. This made Karl I very moved, and at the same time, he became even more hostile to Germany for the death of Admiral Anton House. Therefore, he made a poisonous oath to kill all Hohenzollern Royal Family.
Of course, that is just a poisonous oath made by Karl I. Whether it can succeed is still very difficult to say.
Karl I also knows very well that relying solely on their own strength, it is almost impossible to seek revenge from the German Empire. Therefore, now we can only rely on the power of Americans. This is why Karl I did not even go to see his wife and children after arriving at United States, but rushed to White House to meet Woodrow President Wilson.
"His Majesty the Emperor, I completely agree with your point of view. Austro-Hungarian Empire is a great country, but unfortunately, Germany people rely on the strong to bully the weak and use extremely lame excuses to destroy Austro-Hungarian Empire The great Empire was destroyed. Such behavior is really shameless. I believe that Austro-Hungarian Empire will be re-established one day!" said Woodrow President Wilson.
"Your Excellency, if Austro-Hungarian Empire wants to rebuild, it still has a long way to go. I hope to get your and US government's support." Karl I said.
"Of course, there is no problem at all. Austro-Hungarian Empire is Republic of America's friend, and we will definitely support you fully!" Woodrow President Wilson nodded repeatedly.
Supporting Austro-Hungarian Empire is originally the established policy of United States. As long as they can hit Germany, they are willing to do it no matter what method they use.
"Great, Your Excellency, President. With the support of United States, we will definitely defeat the Germany people one day." Karl I said excitedly.
Now they can be said to be completely impoverished. Although, when escaping from the Austro-Hungarian Empire, some gold and other valuables were left behind. But if they want to support their expenses, this money is simply not enough. If you can get the support of United States, then all problems will be solved. After all, United States is famously wealthy.
"His Majesty the Emperor, the most important thing now is to form a Austro-Hungarian Empire government in exile and let the people of the Austro-Hungarian Empire know that His Majesty the Emperor is still here In this world, we can continue to lead the people of the Austro-Hungarian Empire to resist Germany people so that they will not forget Austro-Hungarian Empire," President Wilson said.
Karl I nodded.
Austro-Hungarian Empire has now been destroyed, and those countries have become independent one after another. And Austria was directly absorbed by the German Empire. If Germany people completely digest Austria, or if Austria people accept their new identity, then Austro-Hungarian Empire will be finished. Therefore, Karl I must find a way to continue to let the people of Austria know that he is still alive and Austro-Hungarian Empire continues to exist. This caused those supporters of him and Austro-Hungarian Empire to resist Germany.
"United States can support His Majesty the Emperor with a certain amount of funds. After all, Germany has become the enemy of all of us." President Wilson said.
"Thank you, Mr. President. In addition to financial support, we also need more support. We hope that US government can support us in recruiting suitable people among Americans descendants of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, so that they can receive training before they can Go to Europe, go to the Austro-Hungarian Empire, and organize the people to fight against Germany's invasion. In addition, US government also needs strong support in terms of weapons and equipment," Karl I said.
President Wilson nodded and agreed to Karl I's request. For United States, this is nothing at all. If Karl I and their actions can be effective, it will also be very helpful to United States. At least, it can put Germany people into a state of distress, and will not pose much of a threat to United States anymore.
On April 21, 1917, Emperor Karl I of the Austro-Hungarian Empire announced in the United States the formal formation of the Austro-Hungarian Empire in Exile. He also called on all the people of the Austro-Hungarian Empire to remember the glory of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, take up arms and fight against the German invasion. Karl I also called on those countries that had become independent from the Austro-Hungarian Empire to reunite and fight against Germany.
However, Karl I's influence on the Austro-Hungarian Empire is really not that big. Even though he has been Crown Prince for a while. However, due to his personal abilities, not many people in the Austro-Hungarian Empire accepted him.
Now, Austro-Hungarian Empire no longer exists, which certainly makes many people feel sad. However, most people still recognize the reality and know that Austro-Hungarian Empire is gone forever. It is no longer possible to recreate the glory of the Austro-Hungarian Empire.
Even in Austria, or the current German Empire's Eastern Province, there are not many people who still think about Karl I. It is even more impossible to get them to take up arms to fight against the German Empire. That would be a fool's errand. What's more, what the Germany people did in Austria did not harm their interests, but instead tried to find ways to improve the living standards of the local people. And this has caused the number of Austria people who oppose Germany to continue to decline.
