Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    While everyone was paying attention to the south, the current Serbian government was stunned by the emergency notice that appeared in the early morning of August 2.

    "It's over. I didn't expect that those bastards from the Austro-Hungarian Empire would join the war at this time. There are only 40,000 recruits in the north. How could they withstand the opponent's fierce attack?"

    Peter I looked at the urgent telegram stamped in his hand with some confusion. His hand suddenly felt heavier than ten thousand pounds, and he even felt a little dark around him. In the end, he didn't know what happened. He felt his confusion and weakness, and then he stopped.  Save personnel.

    ? 5 o¡¯clock in the morning on August 2, 1912.  The Austro-Hungarian Empire suddenly attacked Novi Sad, the gate city in northern Serbia. The unprepared Novi Sad was captured in just 10 hours. Many people say that it was mainly because of the defense.  The reason why the 40,000 troops were new soldiers, so in the face of the Austro-Hungarian army that was twice their size, they could only surrender in the end. Of the 40,000 troops, more than 30,000 people surrendered. This was more than enough for the Serbs.  This is an absolute shame.  It was precisely because of this that their king fainted immediately after learning the news.

    This makes people really speechless. However, the ambitions of the Austro-Hungarian Empire are more than that. Therefore, they are also preparing to go south and continue to expand their achievements. However, can they all achieve their wishes?  Naturally, it didn't work. First, Russia quickly mobilized its troops to support Serbia. It quickly dispatched 80,000 troops from the Principality of Ukraine from Ukraine and placed them in Lviv in the west, pretending to defend the Austro-Hungarian Empire from invading Russia eastward. Then, it  Quickly move the 50,000 troops stationed in Ukraine southward.  Finally, when we arrived at Timisoara, anyone with a discerning eye would know at a glance that this was an alternative "care" for Novi Sad, which had just been acquired by the Austro-Hungarian Empire.

    In the end, the Austro-Hungarian Empire could only cancel the idea of ??continuing to move south and look back to consolidate the control of Novi Sad.  They were secretly afraid of the strength of Belgrade and Zemun, as well as the tenacity of the Serbs there. They secretly wondered why the Serbs in the north were so weak, but thinking about it, they were secretly glad that the north was not that tenacious.  action, otherwise, they really wouldn't be able to handle it.  In the end, it even ended up being a waste of money.

    they do not know.  Russia's face was livid at this time. Originally, this was the territory they wanted most.  Because this place can seriously threaten the Austro-Hungarian Empire.  for Russia.  It is an absolutely important strategic position. With them, Russia can truly complete the threat of the Austro-Hungarian Empire.  By seizing this place, it can be said that the real three-inch capture of Austria-Hungary's snake can reduce the threat posed by Austria-Hungary to Russia to the lowest point. However, originally, Russia had repeatedly told the Serbian government that it wanted to  To use this place as proof of the friendship between Russia and Serbia, Serbia had expressed opposition several times before, but under Russia's vague threats several times, Serbia still used the excuse that the scale was causing trouble.

    It is precisely because of this that Russia actually used it as a threat to the dispute between the Ottoman Empire and Bulgaria and Serbia, so it showed an unwillingness to pay attention to it from the beginning in order to weaken the Serbian government.  They wanted Serbia to form another Romania. However, they had not waited for Serbia's reply, but they were waiting for such bad news. The Austrian Brother Empire actually took over first and took it so quickly.  of Novi Sad.  At this time, the Austro-Hungarian Empire can really advance, attack, retreat or defend. As a result, not only Serbia will be passive in the future, but Romania, a loyal ally of Russia, will also be greatly passive against attacks from the direction of New Hungary.  At the same time, there is also concern about attacks from the direction of Novi Sad in the south.  It can be said that this has greatly set back Russia's strategy.  It is very passive, and some of these two countries now seem to have become a burden to Russia.

    You know, this was the place where Russia's sudden wave of blockade in Europe was in the past. Now it is also blocked. And Central Asia is under the blockade of the United Kingdom. Where is East Asia? The four countries of Britain, West, Germany and Japan have occupied the coastal area, so  First, all the world's sea outlets were blocked except for the Arctic Ocean. However, because Spain and the United Kingdom have been there for many years in the North Sea, Russia does not have any good protection there. Therefore, Russia is really tired now.  It's really annoying but I didn't get anything. I really became the one who was taken advantage of.

    However, he still has to continue to protect these two countries, otherwise, the strategic space will be even smaller. But if it is not directly reduced to the principality of Ukraine, then it will really threaten the security of the homeland.  .  This is something they absolutely don't want to see.

    However, what Russia doesn¡¯t want to see, many other countries are very happy to see. For example, its neighbors in the east have been subject to harassment for hundreds of years.China, which is threatened by foreign aggression, is very happy at this time. Although the country is still in a warlord regime, this does not prevent them from being happy that a major threat to their country has been reduced.  Everyone smiled from the bottom of their hearts and thought to themselves: "It would be great if Japan in the east could be like this."

    "Yes, it would be great if Japan wanted to be like Russia. It's a pity that Russia is surrounded by territory, but Japan is surrounded by sea. This makes Japan natural. There are no checks and balances. Originally, we could do it. It's a pity.  Yes, the reason why we are so divided now is that it makes enemies happy and relatives painful. I think Emperor Meiji and Katsura Taro of Japan are laughing in their dreams."

    "Kui Shi, you are still in trouble." Lu Xun looked at Chen Shaobai with some humor. Chen Shaobai is now the governor and governor of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, Hu Hanmin is the governor and governor of Fujian, and Tan Yankai is the governor and governor of Jiangxi. Cai E  He is the Navy Marshal of the Republic of China. However, that is in name only. In fact, he is just the naval commander of the Yangtze River Navy from Fujian to Shanghai in the south plus Jiangxi to the Yangtze Estuary. The Kuomintang in the south and the Yuan Shikai United Party in the north  Each still has its own party, government and army, and Li Yuanhong's Yangtze River navy has always been wandering in the upper and middle reaches.

    Today, the commander-in-chief Cai E, the governor of the three provinces, is holding a meeting at Lu Xun, the Prime Minister's Office.

    Chen Shaobai speaks without any scruples. This is mainly related to the fact that he grew up in Hong Kong under the rule of the British.

    He smiled and said: "Although it's a sign, isn't it nice to be like this? After all, sometimes a sign is also a person who observes events from another aspect. Everyone knows the Japanese's evil intentions, but they have always been  We have all known it for a long time but were unwilling to speak out to make it clear. In this case, I think we should talk about topics like chaos openly so that the people know what Japan thinks. In that case, our people will be more willing to talk about Japan.  We must be well prepared so that we will not be panicked or confused when war breaks out with Japan in the future."

    "Prime Minister, I think what Lao Chen said is true," Cai E responded: "Actually, everyone knows what is going on, but everyone sees that the government has not taken any action, so everyone thinks that the government has some countermeasures, so  Everyone just nodded and said nothing for this. I think we should learn from the public opinion system of the Western world. Of course, this is the prime minister¡¯s specialty. I think the prime minister should know better than me."

    "What's your job?" Lu Xun murmured in thought, suddenly his eyes lit up, and then he said with a smile: "Yes, we can use the official attitude, and then use newspapers to randomly check the people's opinions every month  To measure Japan's image by its influence, it is best to add the insights of some strategic experts. In this way, it will have a promoting effect. If the Japanese accuse us, we can directly point out that we are responding to the West.  Freedom of speech in the world, especially the United Kingdom, Spain, France, etc., and Japan has always targeted these countries and claimed to be the beacon of liberal capitalism in East Asia. If we do this, we can slap them hard and make them  I was speechless and chose to shut up.¡±

    The more he spoke, Lu Xun's whole body began to tremble with excitement. Several other people also looked at Lu Xun with admiration, and secretly sighed in their hearts: Sure enough, as the Prime Minister, there is no need to question his ability. They were all convinced.  At the same time, I was also very excited by Lu Xun¡¯s idea.

    "Prime Minister, Spain has announced that it will not send troops to help its allies casually. This seems a bit bad for us." Tan Yankai was a little worried. During this time, the emergence of this news has made many allies of Spain  They were worried, especially their citizens. Citizens of various countries began to express opinions, and some even called for a discussion on the alliance relationship with Spain. Therefore, at this time, Tan Yankai's statement was very timely and correct. Several others  People also looked at Lu Xun worriedly.

    Everyone knows that Lu Xun was a talent trained in Spain, and Lu Xun¡¯s background was Spain. Therefore, Spain¡¯s move was tantamount to reducing its political and military help to Lu Xun. Therefore, Lu Xun¡¯s  There should be a lot of pressure, but what surprised a few people was that Lu Xun ignored it and continued to work here, as if nothing happened.

    Now, they finally couldn't help it anymore. It was rare for everyone to get together, so they couldn't wait to ask.  (To be continued)
