    "Your Majesty Colonel, what should I do now? Is it necessary to go back to Vienna?" Archduke Karl said with some frustration!  When he set off from the Grand Duchy of Habsburg, he was also very ambitious!  Originally, he thought that he would have to wait at least twenty years or even longer until the death of Ferdinand I before he could become the emperor of the Austro-Hungarian Empire.  However, he never expected that Ferdinand I would die in an assassination.  This definitely gave him a chance!  As the first heir to the throne of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, Archduke Karl was also unwilling to be lonely and wanted to make a difference!  However, just when he was dreaming of becoming the emperor of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, reality gave him such a blow!

    "Your Majesty the Grand Duke! Of course you have to go back to Vienna! In Vienna, Your Excellency the Grand Duke still has 200,000 troops. In addition, there are 300,000 troops loyal to Austria at the border of the Austro-Hungarian Empire and the Kingdom of Serbia in the south! These armies are where Your Excellency the Grand Duke has a foothold.  capital!" said the Chinese colonel!

    "But, can these 500,000 troops withstand the German attack?" Archduke Karl asked suspiciously.  It is well known that Germany is powerful. Although China is more powerful than Germany, China is too far away from the Austro-Hungarian Empire. By the time China's powerful military strength is deployed to the Austro-Hungarian Empire, the Austro-Hungarian Empire may have been destroyed by Germany long ago.  !

    "It is of course impossible to rely on half a million Austrian troops to withstand the German attack! Even holding Vienna is a complete delusion! However, China hopes that the Austro-Hungarian Empire can continue to fight! We hope that the Austrian army can abandon Vienna,  Retreat to Maritime Province! As long as you can hold on for a week, the Chinese Army will land in Maritime Province, and then hold here until the opportunity to counterattack Vienna! During this period, the Chinese Navy and Air Force will provide full assistance to the Austrian army  !" said the Chinese colonel!  Although almost all the states in the Austro-Hungarian Empire have betrayed Austria, the Kingdom of Austria still has hundreds of thousands of troops in its army. In addition, the Austro-Hungarian Empire's navy is also loyal to Austria, and most of the Austro-Hungarian Empire's air force is also loyal to Austria.  , calculated in this way, the military strength of the Kingdom of Austria is still very strong!  At least they can hold on until the Chinese army lands in the Maritime Province of the Austro-Hungarian Empire!

    Archduke Karl hesitated for a moment, then nodded.  He was not willing to fail like this, and he was not willing to let the Austro-Hungarian Empire collapse like this!  Although, facing the powerful Germany, the Austro-Hungarian Empire was completely at a disadvantage.  However, Archduke Karl knew that the only thing he could rely on now was China!  If China can achieve final victory, then the Austro-Hungarian Empire can be rebuilt, and he can eventually become the emperor of the Austro-Hungarian Empire!  If China is defeated, there will be nothing we can do!

    Fifteen minutes later, Archduke Karl and his party boarded the transport plane, which flew towards Vienna under the protection of 12 F10 "Lightning" heavy-duty fighter jets of the Chinese Air Force.  The distance from Corsica to Vienna is only over 800 kilometers. At the cruising speed of the Y4 transport aircraft, it only takes more than three hours to arrive!

    Vienna, the capital of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, is in chaos at the moment!  As the German army gradually approached Vienna, the residents in the city were also very panicked. In addition, the Austrian army had imposed martial law throughout Vienna, making everyone even more fearful!  Some minor nobles even wanted to leave Vienna and escape to the countryside with their families.  However, I was stopped when I was leaving the city!  The Prime Minister of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, Mario Weber, has issued an order. When Archduke Karl returns to Vienna, only people in Vienna are allowed to enter and no one is allowed to leave!

    In the Chancellery of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, Count Leopold von Berchtold, Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, was reporting the latest situation to Mario Weber. However, the current situation is very serious for the Austro-Hungarian Empire.  unfavorable!

    "Your Excellency, Prime Minister, China has given us a reply! China has issued a war warning to Germany and asked Germany to withdraw from the Austro-Hungarian Empire. If Germany cannot meet China's demands within 24 hours, China will declare war on Germany! However,  , China does not think that Germany will compromise this time! In addition, except for the Kingdom of Hungary and the Principality of Bohemia, other states have also chosen neutrality! Now, the Kingdom of Austria will fight alone!" Leopol  Count De von Berchtold said with a sad face!  The powerful Austro-Hungarian Empire collapsed after the assassination of Austrian Emperor Ferdinand I!  The remaining Kingdom of Austria is also on its own!

    "Your Excellency, can the army withstand the German attack?" Mario Weber looked at Archduke Friedrich, the commander of the Austrian army!  As the German army continues to approach Vienna, the Army has become their last hope!

    "Your Excellency, Prime Minister, I only have 200,000 troops on hand now! Another 300,000 army troops are still on the southern border of the empire. And the German troops we have to face are at least 500,000 people! If the Chinese cannot reinforce us in time  If so, I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to hold Vienna!" Archduke FriedrichTao!  Facing Germany's strong invasion and adopting this method of undeclared war, as well as the betrayal of other states in the Austro-Hungarian Empire, the Kingdom of Austria is undoubtedly in an extreme dilemma at this moment!

    "Your Excellency, the Chinese Ambassador to the Austro-Hungarian Empire Shen Ruilin clearly informed us that if the Chinese army wants to land in the Austro-Hungarian Empire, it will take at least a week or even longer! And before that, we need to resist the German attack alone!  "Foreign Minister Count Leopold von Berchtold said!

    "Impossible! With the current strength of the Kingdom of Austria, it is simply impossible to withstand the Germans for a week!" Archduke Friedrich shook his head!  If the other states of the Austro-Hungarian Empire sided with Austria, they would still have the confidence to withstand the German army for a week.  But now?  Being able to withstand the German attack for three days is already a blessing from God!

    ¡°Your Excellency, do you have any good suggestions?¡± Prime Minister Mario Weber asked.

    "Vienna can't be defended! If we don't want to surrender to the Germans, we have to abandon Vienna and retreat to the southern mountains or coastal areas! We can rely on the support of the navy to resist the German attack, and we can also wait for the Chinese rescue!"  Archduke Ridrich said!

    "Well, let's wait until His Excellency Archduke Karl returns to Vienna before making a decision!" Prime Minister Mario Weber hesitated!

    At 3:45 pm, Archduke Karl arrived in Vienna on a transport plane provided by the Chinese Air Force. Regardless of the fatigue of the journey, he immediately summoned the important ministers of the Kingdom of Austria and announced his decision!

    "Gentlemen, His Majesty the Emperor was assassinated, the Germans took the opportunity to invade us, and other countries also betrayed us! Now the Austro-Hungarian Empire has reached its most critical moment! In view of the current predicament, I decided to abandon Vienna and retreat to  Forget the Maritime Province! And the troops on the southern border will also be transferred to the Maritime Province so that they can hold out until the arrival of Chinese reinforcements! China has guaranteed that the Chinese Air Force and Navy will launch an attack on Germany within three days, and the Chinese Army will launch an attack on Germany within a week.  Landing in the Austro-Hungarian Empire! As long as we can persist until the Chinese Army lands, we have hope! Although it is a pity to give up Vienna! However, giving up today is to recapture Vienna tomorrow!" Archduke Karl said!  All this was discussed between him and the officers of the Chinese Military Intelligence Bureau before getting off the plane!

    This decision of Archduke Karl was supported by most of the important ministers of the Kingdom of Austria!  For them, staying in Vienna is already very dangerous. It would be safest to retreat to the Maritime Province, or even directly to the Mediterranean Province of China!

    After Archduke Karl¡¯s order was issued, the Kingdom of Austria immediately began to evacuate!  Officials took their families and families to the Maritimes by car and train. The residents of Vienna also took the opportunity to flee Vienna. Some people retreated to the south, while others fled to the countryside!  The 200,000 army troops of the Kingdom of Austria also began to retreat in an orderly manner!  In particular, the last three armored brigades of the Kingdom of Austria are the main force in these armies!  As for the Austro-Hungarian Empire's air force, less than half was loyal to the Kingdom of Austria. These air force fighters also began to transfer to the airport in the Maritime Province!

    The situation of the Kingdom of Austria abandoning Vienna and retreating to the south was soon known to Germany!  However, the German army is still far away from Vienna, and it is almost impossible to catch up with the Austrian army!  The German Army asked the Air Force to send fighter planes to bomb these Austrian Army, but they were refused!  German Air Force Commander General Schulz insisted that the German Air Force now has more important things to do, and this is directly related to whether Germany can gain the upper hand in the war!

    The German Air Force is the latest service to be established among the German army, navy and air force, but in the past few years, they have developed very quickly!  As of now, the German Air Force already has 3,000 fighter jets and bombers. After entering a state of war, the annual output of German aircraft manufacturers will increase to more than 2,000 aircraft. If necessary, this output can even be increased by another one.  Times!

    "Your Excellency, Commander, the front-line wings are ready! We will bomb the Chinese air force bases in the direction of Ireland Island and the Mediterranean Sea respectively! In the direction of Ireland Island, we plan to invest 5 wings of bombers and 5 wings of  fighter jets! In the direction of the Mediterranean, the main bombing targets are Corsica, Sardinia and Sicily. We will invest 5 wings of bombers and 7 wings of fighter jets! Strive to destroy the Chinese bases at once and destroy them.  Defeat the Air Force!"
