“Are we scared by the Russians, we finally re-conquered the Carpathians. If we just go back like this, wouldn’t all the efforts we had made before be in vain? So what do they do?
We could retreat west of the Carpathian Mountains and rely on the mountains and defensive lines to withstand the Russian attack. But what about the kingdom of Romenia, they are almost undefensible, and it is impossible to withstand the attack of the Russians!”
Archduke Karl, Crown Prince of Austria-Hungary, objected at this time.
The high-ranking officials of the Austro-Hungarian Empire were a little unpleasant-looking.
“Besides, in the previous war, our losses were not large. And we’re also mobilizing. Now, we also have three million reserves. And on the frontline battlefield, there are still more than two million people. If we add the kingdom of Romenia, we will be able to muster six million troops to fight the Russians. Even if the Russians want to defeat us, it will not be so easy!” went on to Archduke Karl.
In order to prevent danger, especially if the Germanic offensive was not successful, Austria-Hungary was also engaged in extreme mobilization.
Although, after the mobilization of two million men was completed again, the strength of the Austro-Hungarian Army increased considerably. But in the same way, they have been mobilized to the extreme. In such a situation, it is no longer possible for them to mobilize.
However, this also made Archduke Karl still think that they did not have to be afraid of the Russians, and they still had the confidence to fight the Russians.
“If we use all our strength to fight the Russians, even if we defeat the Russians temporarily. However, we will also pay a huge loss. Don’t forget, our mobilization has reached the extreme, and we can’t mobilize more troops. And the Russians, far from the limit. They can also continue to mobilize!” retorted Prime Minister Mario Webb~.
Archduke Karl’s face was ugly, and he seemed very dissatisfied with Prime Minister Mario Weber.
However, even if he is now the crown prince of the empire, as long as he has not yet inherited the throne, it is impossible to take the prime minister.
Of course, if Franz Joseph I dies, he becomes the new Austrian emperor. At that time, maybe you can remove Prime Minister Mario Webb and replace it with an obedient person.
If we just give up, the situation will still be very bad for us. This war has dragged on for too long. We have nothing left of our stockpiles. The more we drag on like this, the worse it will be for us. We must find a way to break the deadlock as soon as possible!” said Archduke Karl bitterly.
He knew very well that the longer he dragged on, the more unfavorable it would be for Austria-Hungary.
But unfortunately, the ministers of Austria-Hungary were more conservative.
Or rather, until the Germans made their choice, they were not willing to go out and fight with the Russians at this time.
“Okay, order our troops to withdraw east of the Carpathians and retreat behind the lines. Telegram to Archduke Friedrich and ask him to lead the army and re-garrison the defensive line. And, prepare to resist the possibility of a full-scale attack on the defensive line by the Russians!” Franz Joseph I made a choice.
He could have a premonition that there was not much left in his life. How long you can live may depend on God’s will. So, he didn’t want to take any more risks at this time.
“Yes, Your Majesty!” replied the Chief of the General Staff, Marshal Baron Herzendorf and the Minister of War, Duke Kasbah.
Even if Archduke Karl was dissatisfied, Franz Joseph I had already made a decision. There was nothing he could do about it.
Meanwhile, the capital of the Kingdom of Romea Muja, Bucharest, the Royal Palace.
King Ferdinand I of the Kingdom of Romea Muda, Prime Minister Bretianu, Chief of the General Staff Averescu, Foreign Minister Margiloman and others all gathered in the office of His Majesty the King.
Everyone’s face was worried, or full of regret.
They never imagined that the large-scale counterattack promised by Austria-Hungary on the Eastern Front would be such a result. Even the Germans mobilized, but in the end they were still unable to defeat the Russians.

Now the Russians have defeated the Germans and driven them out of their land. Then, it was inevitable that it would be the turn of Austria-Hungary and the Kingdom of Romea Muja.
Even the Germans did not take advantage of the Russians, let alone Austria-Hungary and them.
This caused the entire high-level of the Rama Muya Kingdom to fall into panic.
“Hesitation, now the entire kingdom is already facing a very serious crisis. The Russians have already repelled the Germans. Moreover, they have already begun to mobilize troops. Next, more troops will be thrown into the attack on Austria-Hungary and ours. How can we possibly withstand the Russian counterattack?” Prime Minister Bretianu was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot.
“It’s all damned Austria-Hungary, and if it weren’t for their demagoguery, we wouldn’t have made such a decision.” Well, now we’ve been pitted by them!” King Ferdinand I regretted it. But alas, there is no regret medicine in the world. (Read violent novels, go on Feilu Fiction Network!)
“So what do we do now?” also asked Foreign Secretary Margiloman.
“What about Austria-Hungary? are they going to do it?” asked Ferdinand I.
“Your Majesty, I have just received the latest information that the Austro-Hungarian army has withdrawn from its position and is retreating towards the Carpathian defense line!” a general walked in in a panic.
They betrayed us, abandoned us?” Archduke Ferdinand said as if struck by a thunderbolt.
“Your Majesty, Austria-Hungary has retreated, and they apparently consider themselves no match for the Russians. We must also make a choice now!” Prime Minister Bretianu was anxious.
Ferdinand I nodded repeatedly: “Immediately make peace with the Russians through diplomatic channels.” We can’t fight any longer, and if we continue to fight, we will die!”
“Yes, Your Majesty!” replied Foreign Secretary Margiloman.
However, the Loma Muya chose to be enemies of the Russian Empire, and now if they want to ask for peace, I am afraid it will not be so easy.
