"Alliance Treaty is sacred, and any country that violates the treaty will be punished. Austro-Hungarian Empire formed an alliance with the Empire before the outbreak of World War. After defeating the enemy, they enjoyed the benefits of the victorious country. But now, for their own selfish interests, they have torn up the treaty, withdrew from the alliance, and betrayed their allies. Such behavior is extremely extreme. It is immoral and shameless. German Empire is ashamed to be an ally with such a country. And, for the benefit of the Empire, German Empire will punish Austro-Hungarian Empire and make them pay for it!" At the same time, German Emperor Qin Tian also gave a radio speech to tell all the people of the German Empire why Empire declared war on the Austro-Hungarian Empire.
In order to gain public support, Germany will of course put all the responsibilities on the Austro-Hungarian Empire. It was as if German Empire was really at a disadvantage and had been wronged. Only in this way can we undoubtedly arouse people's anger and gain their support.
Oscar's approach has undoubtedly been successful. The people of the German Empire, after the Empire won the victory of World War, began to consider themselves residents of the world's most powerful country. Self-esteem and self-confidence are greatly enhanced.
Austro-Hungarian Empire fought side by side with the Empire in the last war. Although the performance was very poor, after all, German Empire held back many enemies, allowing German Empire to win the war in the future. Empire people are still very friendly and grateful to the Austro-Hungarian Empire. However, when Franz? Joseph became seriously ill and no longer served as director, Crown Prince Karl was left to handle state affairs. The relationship between Germany and Austro-Hungarian Empire began to cool down.
German government also deliberately publicizes and misleads the public. Among World War, Austro-Hungarian Empire not only did not help Empire, but even specifically delayed Empire's retreat, etc. Crown Prince Karl's hostility towards Germany was also publicized. This makes Empire people increasingly dislike Austro-Hungarian Empire.
After German Emperor Qin Tian declared war on the Austro-Hungarian Empire, countless Empire people shouted angrily, "War! War! Punish the shameless betrayers!"
Yes, all the people in Germany already regard Austro-Hungarian Empire as a traitor. They strongly demanded that Imperial Government and the army punish Austro-Hungarian Empire.
Of course, there are also some anti-war voices. However, compared to the Empire people who demand war, these voices are too small and have no influence at all. They are directly drowned in the angry roars of the Empire people.
"Order the forward troops to cross the border and enter Austro-Hungarian Empire territory! If Austro-Hungarian Empire's troops resist, then defeat them!" German military Commander on the front line issued orders one after another.
Suddenly, German military, who had been prepared for a long time, crossed the border and entered the territory of the Austro-Hungarian Empire.
Austro-Hungarian Empire The capital Vienna is now in chaos. Germany actually declared war on them, which means that war is inevitable. Although, many senior officials of the Austro-Hungarian Empire have already guessed that there is a high possibility of war breaking out. However, at this moment, they realized that the war had really broken out.
More Austro-Hungarian Empire officials and people are at a loss what to do. Germany is now the most powerful country in the world. As neighbors of Germany, of course they are very aware of how powerful Germany is. Now Germany declared war on the Austro-Hungarian Empire, which immediately plunged them into panic. After all, they don't think Austro-Hungarian Empire is Germany's opponent, and Austro-Hungarian Empire will definitely lose this war.
Even the military generals and soldiers of the Austro-Hungarian Empire are not optimistic about the Austro-Hungarian Empire. After all, everything was explained in the last game World War. In the last World War, the Austrian army was beaten to pieces by Russians on the Eastern Front and suffered heavy losses. Only after German Emperor Qin Tian, who was still Crown Prince at the time, personally led 8th Army Corps with less than 200,000 people to the Eastern Front, did he help Austro-Hungarian Empire defeat the Russian army in one fell swoop. Otherwise, Austro-Hungarian Empire might have lost that war.
Therefore, Austro-Hungarian Empire soldiers are extremely reluctant to fight with Germany people. From their point of view, this is clearly asking them to die. Not only are Austro-Hungarian Empire soldiers from other countries except Austria unwilling to fight with Germany people, but also Austria soldiers are the same. They hate Karl I very much. Why bother with the German Empire? Well now, Germany has declared war on the Austro-Hungarian Empire, and they will be killed by Germany people soon.
"Damn it! The Germany people actually framed Empire and put the blame of betrayal on the Empire. This is absolutely unacceptable to the Empire. The reason why Empire quit the alliance was completely forced by the Germany people. If they hadn't tried every means to suppress Empire, how could Empire withdraw from Allied Powers?" Inside the Vienna Imperial Palace, Karl I was furious. Although he also believed that war was inevitable, he also did not expect that the Germany people would declare war on the Austro-Hungarian Empire so neatly and without any hesitation.
This made Karl I a little worried. It seemed that all this was really planned by Germany. Austro-Hungarian Empire quit Allied Powers, which just gave Germany people an excuse to start a war. If that were the case, it would be too scary. How could Germany people expect all this?
"Coincidence, it must be a coincidence!" Karl I kept telling himself this in his heart. It seemed like this would put him at ease a lot.
"Your Majesty, Germany's army has crossed the border. Do we want to launch a counterattack?" Baron Marshal von Heitzenforf asked.
"Counterattack! Of course we have to fight back. Now the Germany people are invading us. If we don't fight back, how can we defeat the Germany people's attack. Order all the troops of the Austro-Hungarian Empire to start counterattacking the Germany people and drive them out of our territory. No matter what, we must defeat them and defend Austro-Hungarian Empire!" Karl I shouted loudly.
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Baron Marshal von Heitzenforf nodded helplessly. Obviously, he didn't think they could defeat the Germany people in this battle. However, the war has broken out. As a soldier, he has no other choice but to command the troops to resist the invasion of German military and fulfill his accusations.
"We want to expose the Germany people's conspiracy to invade Austro-Hungarian Empire to the world, so that countries all over the world can see clearly the faces of the Germany people. In addition, send Telegram to Americans. According to our agreement, now is the time for them to support us!" Karl I ordered.
