The assassination of Archduke Ferdinand of the Crown Prince of Austria-Hungary in Sarajevo was undoubtedly a major event that shook the world.
This is especially true when both the Entente and the Allies are already at loggerheads, and tensions are rising throughout Europe and the world.
Almost all countries believe that the assassination of the Austro-Hungarian crown prince will become the trigger for war and will trigger a big war between the two military-political alliances.
And all countries have invariably accelerated the pace of war preparations.
Germanic Empire.
When Wilhelm II learned the news, he was on a yacht.
“It seems that the opportunity that the empire has been waiting for has finally arrived. This is definitely a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for the empire. Wilhelm II had a smile on his face.
Although he was well aware that the ensuing war would be a great test for the Germanic Empire. If you don’t get it right, it will be very dangerous.
However, he sees this as both a danger and an opportunity. Once the opportunity is seized. Or if the Germanic Empire successfully won the following war. Then the Germanic Empire would rise. 290 Immediately afterwards, Wilhelm II rushed back to Berlin to consult with cabinet ministers and senior military officials.
“Your Majesty, the Austro-Hungarian Minister for Foreign Affairs, Baron Bercidold, is coming to the land of Berlin. Not surprisingly, they wanted the support of the empire. Foreign Minister Georgmeis said.
“Tell Austria-Hungary that they are allies of the Empire and that their business is the Empire’s business. Their crown prince was assassinated, and the empire was deeply outraged. The Empire supported all reasonable actions of Austria-Hungary. Wilhelm II replied immediately.
It had already been negotiated, and Austria-Hungary would find an excuse to make a move against the Kingdom of Serbia. Unexpectedly, in the end, it will be such an opportunity.
However, for the Germanic Empire, this is not a good opportunity!
There is no better excuse for war against the Kingdom of Serbia. At the same time, the assassination of the Crown Prince of Austria-Hungary will undoubtedly make the people of Austria-Hungary hate each other, and perhaps they will be able to break out into greater combat effectiveness. Most importantly, even if Austria-Hungary were to choose a new successor (DBDA), it would be difficult for it to grow. The future Austro-Hungarian Empire will inevitably have very big problems. And this is undoubtedly what the Germanic Empire wants to see. A weakened ally is also more easily controlled by them.
“War is about to break out. The empire must seize this opportunity and win the war. Wilhelm II said.
“Yes, Your Majesty!” The ministers of the Germanic Empire all answered.
“The army immediately began to carry out secret mobilization, and once the war broke out, it completed the mobilization in the shortest possible time and put it into war. Time is very precious to the empire, and we must defeat the Gauls in the shortest possible time and win victory on the Western Front. This is very important for the empire! Wilhelm II said.
“Yes, Your Majesty!” The Minister of War, General Falkenhein, replied.
“The navy should also be prepared to speed up the construction of warships. At the right opportunity, the same day does not fall behind for a decisive battle. If only the Navy could defeat the Germans. Then, the empire won in this battle! Wilhelm II continued.
It is conceivable that Wilhelm II still has a trace of expectations for the navy. (Read violent novels, just go to Feilu Fiction Network!) ）
“Yes, Your Majesty!” The Minister of the Admiralty, Field Marshal of Tirpitz, replied.
Although Marshal Earl Tirpitz was well aware that it would undoubtedly be very difficult to defeat the Sunset. However, in the face of the expectation of Wilhelm II, he could not say that he did not have faith. What’s more, the current Sun Never Sets Imperial Royal Navy is very powerful. However, the Germanic Imperial Navy was not without the slightest chance. If they’re lucky, they also have a chance of winning. Even, the odds are not small.
“Gentlemen, the great war that will decide the fate of the empire is about to break out. I hope that the Empire will once again achieve a glorious victory and make the Empire the new hegemon. “Kaiser Wilhelm II made no secret of his ambitions.
“The empire will win!” The cabinet ministers and military officials of the Germanic Empire were equally ambitious.
Gaul, Barry, Esher Palace.
The Gallic Grand Commander Raymond Encaré, the Second Commander Renevaviani, the Foreign Minister Aristide Briand, and the other cabinet ministers and Chief of the General Staff, General Joseph Xiafei, all gathered in the conference room. On everyone’s face, there is an unconcealable anxiety. 、
Although, the Gallic state had already prepared for war, or knew that this war was inevitable. Even they are looking forward to this battle, looking forward to the opportunity to have a shame.
However, now that war is coming, everyone is still nervous.
They knew very well that they wanted to defeat the Germans, shame on them. But in the same way, the Germans hope to defeat them again and create glory again.
This means that if the next war fails, the consequences will be unimaginable.
“Gentlemen, everyone already knows about the assassination of the Crown Prince of Austria-Hungary, right? I am afraid that Austria-Hungary will soon make a move on the Kingdom of Serbia. And our ally the Russian Empire will definitely not sit idly by while Austria-Hungary invades the Kingdom of Serbia. Between their two countries, war is bound to break out.
If only Austria-Hungary, our Russian allies would be able to deal with it themselves. But it is certain that the Germans will fully support Austria-Hungary. In fact, the Germans simply lacked an excuse for war. Their main goal must be on us. So we have to be prepared to join the war. ”
The Grand Commander Raymond Poincaré undoubtedly saw it very clearly, knowing that once the Great War began, the Gallic Kingdom would never be able to stay out of it.
“We have been preparing for this war for a long time, and even if the war does break out, we may not lose to the Germans. As long as we can withstand the first offensive of the Germans, then the Sun Never Set and the Russians will support us. We can take this opportunity to defeat the Germans in one fell swoop, take back what we once lost, and return the shame that the Germans inflicted on us. Second Commander Renevaviani said.
Other cabinet and military officials nodded their heads one after another, agreeing with this view.
