Tsarist Russia: Please Call Me Your Majesty The Tsar

Chapter 60 The Choice Of The Austro-Hungarian Empire (The Third Update, Please Collect It!)

Tsarist Russian Empire, Moscow, Kremlin.

Tsar Mikhail was in a very good mood, and even he himself did not expect that this military operation would go so smoothly this time.

In just half a month, the Tsarist Russian Empire occupied the entire territory of the Kingdom of Bulgaria.

It can be said that they encountered almost no decent resistance.

"Your Majesty, the five infantry divisions and one cavalry brigade of the 1st Army have occupied the Kingdom of Bulgaria. All the troops there have laid down their weapons and stopped resisting. Ferdinand I has even fled to Austria-Hungary The empire is gone. Our military operation has been won!" Admiral Brusilov's face was full of smiles.

"Very good, then we can officially annex the Kingdom of Bulgaria. Here, from now on, it will no longer be an independent country, but a province of the empire!" Mikhail said.

Although, there is still a Kingdom of Romania between the mainland of the empire and the Kingdom of Bulgaria. This piece of land is like an enclave. However, Mikhail has the confidence to hold here.

Moreover, it will become an important stronghold of the Tsarist Russian Empire on the Balkan Peninsula. Or rather, a bridgehead.

Next, the Tsarist Russian Empire will use this as a base to expand to other parts of the Balkan Peninsula.

For example, the Rumelia region controlled by the Ottoman Empire, the Kingdom of Serbia, Montenegro, and even the countries composed of Slavs controlled by the Austro-Hungarian Empire.

In that case, the entire Balkan Peninsula will be under the rule of the Tsarist Russian Empire.

"Your Majesty, neither the Austro-Hungarian Empire nor the Ottoman Empire will let it go. If we want to truly annex the Kingdom of Bulgaria, we have to resist their counterattack." Prime Minister Pobie Donoschaif reminded.

Mikhail nodded. His ambition was not just to win the Kingdom of Bulgaria. If the Ottoman Empire dared to take the opportunity to send troops, then they had to be prepared to lose the entire Rumelia.

"We need to strengthen the troops deployed in Bulgaria. The remaining troops of the 1st Army need to be deployed there as soon as possible. In addition, we must prepare to transport more war supplies there. Among the 14 cavalry brigades directly under the General Staff, 4 Two for reinforcements. Among the five mountain infantry brigades, two will also be dispatched for reinforcements." Mikhail ordered.

In any case, if the Tsarist Russian Empire wants to gain a firm foothold on the Balkan Peninsula, it must win the next war.

Otherwise, the Tsarist Russian Empire will suffer heavy losses.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" replied Admiral Brusilov.

"In addition, the 3rd Army and the 4th Army must also be ready for battle. Once the war breaks out, they can be involved in the war at any time." Mikhail ordered.

If the Austro-Hungarian and Ottoman Empires get involved. Then, the scale of the war will expand.

The battlefield will no longer be limited to the Balkans.

The two sides will launch a more intense battle in the Central European Plain, the Caucasus, and the Balkan Peninsula.

The Tsarist Russian Empire must be prepared.

The annexation of the Kingdom of Bulgaria is only the first step in this operation. Next, defeating the Austro-Hungarian Empire and the Ottoman Empire is the most important thing.

While the Tsarist Russian Empire was actively preparing for war, the Austro-Hungarian Empire was also discussing the next choice.

Austrian Emperor Franz Joseph I, Crown Prince Ferdinand, Prime Minister Mario Weber, Foreign Minister Baron Bell Sidold, Minister of War Duke Kasbah, Minister of the Navy General Anton House, Chief of the General Staff Herzendorf The baron and others all gathered in the palace.

"Your Majesty, the damn barbarians invaded the Kingdom of Bulgaria. This is their premeditated, or long-planned, expansion to the Balkan Peninsula. We must stop the Tsarist Empire and drive them out of the Balkan Peninsula. Here, it is our The sphere of influence. In the future, it will even become our territory!" Crown Prince Ferdinand's attitude was very firm.

The current Archduke Ferdinand has also served as the deputy commander-in-chief of the army, and his position has undoubtedly been further stabilized.

This made him more and more radical in the government affairs of the Austro-Hungarian Empire.

"Ferdinand I has fled the Kingdom of Bulgaria and fled to the Empire. Their army has surrendered to the Tsarist Empire. The Tsarist Empire has actually occupied the Kingdom of Bulgaria. If we want to stop them. Then, we will There will be a war with the Tsarist Empire," Prime Minister Mario Weber reminded.

"Fight and fight! Our strength is no worse than that of the Tsarist Russian Empire. Even if we go to war, we may not lose to them. Just in time, once we defeat the Tsarist Russian Empire on the battlefield. Then, we can not only take back the Kingdom of Bulgaria, but also Annex it directly. Even, it can expand eastward and bite off a piece of fat from the Tsarist Empire." Grand Duke Ferdinand's face was full of greed.

He also coveted the huge territory of the Tsarist Russian Empire, wishing that the Austro-Hungarian Empire could further expand eastward. It is best to swallow the entire Ukran Plain, all of it.
