Tsarist Empire: Please call me His Majesty the Tsar

Austria-Hungary was also one of the world's great powers and a staunch ally of the Germanic Empire.

However, Austria-Hungary was a little too wasted.

In another world war in time and space, Austria-Hungary almost became one of the few existences in the Russian Empire that could brush up on the results of the war.

Although on the Eastern Front, the Russian Empire was pressed to the ground by the Germanic Empire and rubbed fiercely. However, the army of the Russian Empire was able to crush Austria-Hungary. In particular, the large-scale offensive launched by General Brusilov invaded the territory of Austria-Hungary. Had it not been for the urgent reinforcements of the Germanic Empire, Austria-Hungary would have paid a heavy price.

This shows how bad the combat effectiveness of the Austro-Hungarian army was.

Mikhail, too, did not take Austria-Hungary into account at all.

"Austria-Hungary is not a concern. Although, Austria-Hungary was one of the great powers. However, their army is too rubbish. Even before our army was reorganized, it had the strength to defeat them. Not to mention that now, after the reorganization of the Imperial Army, its combat effectiveness is even stronger. If Austria-Hungary dared to join the war. Then, we can take this opportunity to hit them hard! Mikhail said.

"Your Majesty, the strength of the Austro-Hungarian Empire is indeed not very good, and it will not pose a threat to the empire. However, behind Austria-Hungary stood the Germanic Empire. Compared to Austria-Hungary, the Germanic Empire was undoubtedly more powerful. Even if it is an empire, it must be dealt with carefully! Foreign Minister Izvolsky reminded.

Mikhail nodded, he naturally attached great importance to the Germanic Empire.

In the two world wars in another time and space, the Germanic Empire was outnumbered, almost in the case of the crotch of the allies, and challenged the world with its own strength!

For such a powerful opponent, Mikhail naturally did not dare to have the slightest contempt.

He also planned to find a way to recruit talents from the Germanic Empire after the end of the World War, plunder the technology of the Germanic Empire, and take this opportunity to greatly improve the scientific and technological level of the Tsarist Empire.

In particular, the military industry and science and technology of the Russian Empire still lagged far behind the world powers. Even the warships built by the Imperial Russian Navy and the large steam engines used are still imported from the Germanic Empire.

If a breakthrough in these technologies cannot be made, the consequences will be unimaginable if they are stuck in the neck by the Germans.

"Don't worry, the Germanic Empire is very strong though. However, they will not go to war with us at this time. Once our two countries go to war. Then, a large-scale war will break out that will engulf all of Europe. The Germans may not have the possibility of winning. What's more, if we break out into war, we will be very happy that day does not fall. Aren't they just hoping that you will die and I will live on the European continent?

The ambitions of the Germans are not small, but they want to replace the sun and become the hegemon of the world, and naturally they will not go to war with us at this time. In that case, they will lose the opportunity to replace the sun forever! "

Mikhail, who is familiar with the trend of history, is very clear about the evolution of the next world pattern. Therefore, he believed that as long as the Germans still had the ambition to replace the Sun Never Set Empire as the world hegemon, they would never intervene in this war without being prepared.

In this way, Mikhail has no worries at all.

With the strength of the Russian Imperial Army, there would be no problem defeating both Austria-Hungary and the Ottoman Empire.

"Order our troops to be ready, if necessary, mobilized." Once we annex the Kingdom of Bulgaria and the Ottoman Empire intervenes, we will take the opportunity to attack Rumelia and seize the entire Rumilia region! Mikhail ordered.

Rumelia was an Ottoman territory in the Balkans, located in the northern part of the Greek kingdom, spanning the entire Balkan Peninsula.

If only the Russian Empire could take all of Rumilia from the Ottomans. Then, the Russian Empire would be able to successfully solve the problem of access to the sea. At the same time, the influence of the Russian Empire in the Balkans and even around the Mediterranean will be greatly enhanced.

Of course, it is not so easy to achieve this goal.

Other powers will definitely not watch the success of the Russian Empire.

At that time, it is not known what kind of struggle will be experienced to achieve this goal.

But Mikhail had already made up his mind, and this was his first outward expansion since he succeeded to the throne. Therefore, it can only succeed, absolutely not fail.

Otherwise, the Russian Empire would not only have suffered a heavy blow. At the same time, his prestige will suffer a major blow. This would cause his voice in the Russian Empire to decline dramatically. Moreover, those who oppose him will probably all emerge.

In mid-July 1796, a large-scale demonstration broke out in the Kingdom of Bulgaria, and a large number of pro-Russian citizens demanded that the Kingdom of Bulgaria be annexed to the Russian Empire.

And King Ferdinand I of the Kingdom of Bulgaria gave the order to suppress the procession.
