The war between the Russian Empire and the Austria-Hungary and the Ottoman Empire in the Balkans attracted the attention of the whole of Europe and even the world.

Although the Russian Empire was strong, Austria-Hungary plus the Ottoman Empire was also not weak.

This has led many countries to believe that this will be a protracted war.

If it is not done well, it will take several years, and the blood of both sides will be rivers, and it will end after exhaustion.

However, no one expected that the situation on the battlefield would already be clear in just half a month. Even, it is already close to dividing the winner and loser.

The Austro-Hungarian Army had already suffered heavy losses, the 2nd Army was completely annihilated, and even Archduke Ferdinand was captured. The 1st Army, which also suffered considerable losses, had already abandoned large areas of territory and retreated to the Carpathian line to defend.

Although, the Russian Empire had not yet launched an offensive against the Ottoman Empire.

But fools know that with Austria-Hungary already suffering heavy losses and even no longer being able to fight, the remaining Ottoman Empire is even less likely to be an opponent of the Russian Empire.

The Russian Empire was about to win this battle.

This result shocked all countries in the world. It seems that all countries found out at this time that they all underestimated the Tsarist Empire, and did not expect that the military strength of the Tsarist Empire was so strong.

Even powerful countries such as the Sun Never Sets Empire and the Germanic Empire had to adjust their policies towards the Tsarist Empire and must treat the Tsarist Empire more cautiously.

But for the countries that are fighting the Russian Empire, it is extremely sad.

Austria-Hungary, Vienna, Royal Palace.

The aging Austrian emperor Franz Joseph I urgently summoned the top officials of the Austro-Hungarian Empire.

Everyone present had a sad face.

Obviously, everyone knows how bad the current situation is for Austria-Hungary.

"Your Majesty, the 2nd Army has been almost completely annihilated, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and General Offenberg have also been captured by the Russians. The 1st Army also suffered heavy losses , and His Excellency Grand Duke Frederick was able to lead the remnants to hold the Carpathian Mountains. However, if the Russians continue to attack, it is very difficult to say whether the remnants of the 1st Army alone can withstand the Russian attack, and we need to send reinforcements as soon as possible. The Chief of the Army General Staff, Baron Herzendorf, reported.

"The situation of the 1st Army is critical, and we need to pay more attention to another unit of the Russians. The 2nd Army was completely destroyed. Our defense line in the southeast has been completely opened. If the Russians continue to attack, they can completely break through the South Carpathians and enter our hinterland! The Minister of War, Duke Kasbah, reminded.

The brows of Emperor Franz Joseph I were tightly furrowed, and the situation was now quite critical.

Once the Russians invaded Austria-Hungary from the east and southeast, it would inevitably cause a large part of the country to fall, causing extremely heavy losses to the Austro-Hungarian Empire.

Even the entire Austro-Hungarian Empire could fall apart.

The Austro-Hungarian Empire was a dual empire consisting of the Kingdom of Austria and the Kingdom of Hungary.

If the Russian Empire continued to attack, the Hungarian kingdom would be the first to be targeted. Originally, the Kingdom of Hungary had the intention of separating from Austria-Hungary. Once they were hit hard, they would really break away from Austria-Hungary.

In that case, Austria-Hungary would be finished.

"Is the army we are mobilizing ready? Is it ready to be sent to the battlefield? Franz Joseph I asked.

"Your Majesty, the army that has just been mobilized has not yet completed the adaptive training, and it will take a while." Duke Kasbah replied.

"There is no time left to form these forces into the 3rd Army and the 4th Army and send them to the Carpathians and the Southern Carpathians, respectively. In addition, to mobilize again, we need more troops. "Franz Joseph I made the decision.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Duke Kasbah and Baron Herzendorf replied.

However, they also know very well that these troops, who have not even completed adaptive training, may have a very bad combat effectiveness, and even if they are sent to the battlefield, they may not be the opponents of the Russians. It was undoubtedly more difficult to resist the Russian attack.

"Your Majesty, we have seriously underestimated the strength of the Russians this time. From now on, it seems that we are not at all an opponent of the Russians when we are not well prepared. We have to think of other ways to end this war and not allow it to continue. Otherwise, we will pay a greater price! Imperial Prime Minister Mario Webb suggested.

"End the war? Now the Russians have a huge advantage, even if we want to end the war, they will not agree! Franz Joseph I shook his head.

In his opinion, now that the Russian Empire has a great advantage on the battlefield, how can it be possible to miss this opportunity to put Austria-Hungary to death? In other words, he will definitely seize the opportunity to beat Austria-Hungary to death!
