    The roads and railways leading from Vienna to Astor were crowded with troops, government officials, nobles and civilians from the Kingdom of Austria who had fled from Vienna!  The entire team is very large. In addition to the 200,000 troops of the Kingdom of Austria, it also includes hundreds of thousands of residents living in Vienna!  They are all willing to go to the Maritime Province with Archduke Karl, the Crown Prince of the Austro-Hungarian Empire!  Although the Austrians and the Germans have a relatively close relationship, now that the war has begun, no one knows how the Germans will treat them!  So many people choose to escape Vienna!

    Archduke Friedrich, the commander-in-chief of the Austrian Army, played a great role in this retreat!  He personally led two armored brigades and three infantry divisions to seize the rear, resisting the German attack and creating time for the main force to retreat!  The transportation facilities in the Austro-Hungarian Empire were perfect, which made the evacuation of the Austrian army very smooth. However, at the same time, the pursuit of the German army was also very easy. If there were not enough troops to break up, it would be easy because there were too many civilians.  The Germans will catch up!

    On the special train of the Austrian royal family, Archduke Karl and the important ministers of the Austro-Hungarian Empire and the Kingdom of Austria were looking sad.  The development of the situation exceeded their imagination!  Now everyone knows that the German Air Force brazenly launched surprise attacks on the Chinese Air Force and Naval Air Force bases on the Irish Islands, Channel Islands and the Mediterranean!  Moreover, the losses of the Chinese Air Force and Naval Aviation were not small, which made many Austrian senior officials shaken!  They refused to surrender to Germany in the hope that they could continue to be on the side of the winner in the future!  In this case, no matter how much we lose this time.  It can also be taken back after the war!  If China fails in the world war, everything will be over!

    In the carriage of Archduke Karl, Archduke Karl himself, Prime Minister of the Austro-Hungarian Empire Mario Weber, and Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Austria Stefan.  Count Leopold von Berchtold, Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, and Duke Kasbah, Minister of War of Austria and Minister of War of the Central Government of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, were sitting together to discuss the current situation!

    "Your Highness the Crown Prince, it seems that the Chinese have suffered a big loss this time! The Germans adopted despicable and shameless tactics, just like they suddenly attacked us, they launched a surprise attack on the Chinese! They chose the timing of the surprise attack very well.  It happened to be dawn, and the Chinese Air Force had not entered combat readiness at that time, so it was successfully attacked by the Germans!" Duke Kasbah said!

    "Your Excellency, Duke, will the Chinese lose this war?" Stefan, the Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Austria, asked with some worry!

    "Losing this war? This is unlikely! China's foundation is too strong. It is not that the Germans can win by relying on one or two despicable sneak attacks! It's just that the German sneak attacks will increase the chance of the Chinese defeating Germany.  It¡¯s just a human difficulty!¡± Duke Kasbah said!

    The people here are all civilian officials and don¡¯t know much about military affairs. When they heard that China had been attacked by Germany, everyone was a little worried!  After hearing Duke Kasbah's answer, everyone felt relieved!  It doesn't matter if it's difficult, as long as China can win in the end!  Now the Kingdom of Austria has no retreat.  They are already on the opposite side of the Germans. If China cannot defeat Germany, then they will really be finished!  Only if China defeats Germany can they rise again!

    "China is too powerful! Even if the entire Holy Alliance unites, it cannot compete with the Chinese! I believe that our choice this time is very wise!" Archduke Karl also said!  Although his dream of becoming an emperor had setbacks, he still had great expectations for it!  And all his hopes now lie with the Chinese!

    ¡°The Austro-Hungarian Empire will definitely regain its glory!¡± Mario Weber, Prime Minister of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, also said!  Now that the Austro-Hungarian Empire has fallen apart, he, the prime minister of the central government, has no power anymore!

    "Count Berchtold. How did the other states of the Austro-Hungarian Empire react?" Archduke Karl asked!

    "Your Majesty, the Principality of Bohemia has declared itself a vassal of Germany! The Kingdom of Hungary has declared its independence, and Damen Ferenc has proclaimed himself the King of the Kingdom of Hungary! The other states are still waiting and watching! However,  , as the German army continues to advance, these member states are very likely to fall to Germany!" Foreign Minister Count Leopold von Berchtold said!

    "Damn it! These ungrateful guys!" Archduke Karl cursed!  The Austro-Hungarian Empire was originally a dualistic empire. The central government of the Austro-Hungarian Empire did not have strong control over the various states below.  Now that the Austro-Hungarian Empire has suffered a devastating blow, these countries will naturally no longer follow the Kingdom of Austria!

    ¡°Your Highness the Crown Prince, there is no way around this!Those countries are very realistic!  We just have to wait for the opportunity!  After retreating to the Maritime Province, we need to build a strong defense line to withstand the German attack!  As long as the Chinese army can land in time, we will be safe!  "said Duke Kasbah, Minister of War!

    "Your Highness! His Excellency Shen Ruilin, Ambassador of China to the Austro-Hungarian Empire, asks for an audience!" At this time, a guard walked into the carriage and reported!

    "Ambassador Shen Ruilin, please come in!" Archduke Karl said!

    When Ambassador Shen Ruilin walked into the carriage, everyone inside, including Archduke Karl, stood up to greet him!  This was almost impossible when the Austro-Hungarian Empire was still in its heyday!

    "His Royal Highness, good evening! It seems that we have escaped the German pursuit and will be able to reach Astre tomorrow morning!" Ambassador Shen Ruilin said with a smile!

    "Your Excellency, Ambassador, your country suffered a despicable sneak attack by the Germans this morning, for which we deeply sympathize! This shameless behavior of the Germans is simply a national shame!" Archduke Karl said through gritted teeth!  He is now very resentful of Germany. If Germany had not intervened, he might have successfully ascended the throne and became the new emperor Karl I of the Austro-Hungarian Empire!

    "Your Highness the Crown Prince, although the Germans despicably attacked us, this is nothing to the powerful Empire! Moreover, the German Air Force also paid a heavy price! They were shot down by the heroic Imperial Air Force.  Fighters and bombers! The Imperial Air Force has begun to deploy troops from China to the Mediterranean. It is absolutely impossible for the German Air Force to compete with us for air supremacy! Please rest assured, His Royal Highness, the Imperial Air Force has the ability to obtain control of the Mediterranean and surrounding areas.  Air supremacy!" Ambassador Shen Ruilin said!  The main reason he came here this time was to help the people in the Austro-Hungarian Empire strengthen their confidence!

    Sure enough, after listening to Ambassador Shen Ruilin¡¯s words, everyone¡¯s faces looked much better and they were no longer as nervous as before!

    "In addition, a group of the Imperial Army will land in Astre in five days! Before that, the Empire hopes that the Austro-Hungarian Empire can persist until that moment! The Imperial Air Force and Naval Aviation will provide the Austro-Hungarian Empire as much as possible  Air support!" Ambassador Shen Ruilin continued!

    "Ambassador, please rest assured, the Austro-Hungarian Empire will definitely be able to hold on until Chinese reinforcements arrive!" Archduke Karl said, patting his chest!  If it can't hold on for five days, then the Austro-Hungarian Empire is really hopeless!  Not to mention anything else, the straight-line distance from Viana to Juste is more than 300 kilometers, and the distance is more than 400 kilometers!  Even if the Austrian army did not resist, it would be very difficult for the German army to advance more than 400 kilometers in five days!

    When the armies of both sides are still mobilizing and unable to launch large-scale attacks, the battle for air supremacy has become the mainstream!  The German Navy took over the attack on the island of Ireland and the Channel Islands!  Thousands of fighter jets and bombers of the German Naval Aviation took turns to fly through airports in western France and the United Kingdom to bomb the airports of the Chinese Air Force and Naval Aviation on the island of Ireland and the Channel Islands!  The Chinese Air Force and Naval Aviation also launched a heroic counterattack!  Although most of the regular military airports of the Chinese Air Force and Naval Aviation have been bombed, the F11 Vulture fighter jets can take off from field airports, and the F10 Lightning heavy fighter jets can also take off on the repaired simple runways.

    Although the 5th Air Force of the Chinese Air Force suffered heavy losses in previous sneak attacks by the German Air Force, it still has more than 80 F11 'Vulture' fighter jets, more than 100 F10 'Lightning' heavy fighter jets and more than 100 H10' Kunpeng aircraft.  'Long-range bomber!  The naval aviation also has more than 70 F11B "Vulture" fighter jets, dozens of torpedo attack aircraft and dive bombers, plus the 5 aircraft carrier battle groups of the Second Fleet, the overall strength is not weak!

    The German Naval Aviation dispatched thousands of fighter jets and bombers to attack the Channel Islands and the Island of Ireland, but encountered a fierce counterattack by the Chinese Air Force and Naval Aviation!  The two sides launched a fierce air battle over the British Isles and the English Channel!  Although the German naval aviation has an overwhelming numerical advantage, its quality is too poor. In addition, the Chinese Air Force has radar early warning, and the Chinese Air Force and naval aviation have also strengthened their vigilance. None of the German naval aviation's sneak attacks were successful, and they had to fight with  The Chinese Air Force and Naval Aviation compete head-on!  This caused the German naval aviation to pay an even heavier price!

    In addition, the Chinese Air Force is also urgently dispatching new troops to reinforce the island of Ireland through transfer. This makes it very difficult for Germany to gain air supremacy over the English Channel and the British Isles!  The fighters used by the German Naval Aviation also have a short range. After the Chinese Air Force and Naval Aviation bombed airports in the UK several times, the German Naval Aviation was even more restricted!
