As for why we still have to take care of Hungary and Romania? This question is actually very simple. It is impossible for the prince to let Hungary directly divide nearly half of the territory as agreed by the Austro-Hungarian dual empire, more than 200,000 square kilometers of Hungary? These guys think that it is good! If it is really time to split, the prince will naturally make as much as possible. The premise for the benefit is that Hungary's strength is greatly reduced! Some ethnic areas cannot be controlled, and the way to weaken Hungary's strength is naturally to let them fight more wars!
Don’t say that the prince did not give Hungary the opportunity to expand, we cooperate with you to attack Romania! We have won, but whether you can digest it is your business. If you hold on to death, you can’t blame me! Therefore, the prince’s idea is very simple. As long as the transportation is smooth and the supply of food and oil, the Hungarians will do whatever they want. Anyway, no matter how they do it, as a country with a GDP of less than 60% higher than Bavaria, it would be unreasonable to eat Romania if nothing happens!
Historically, after the Hungarians accepted the so-called proposal of national self-determination, they thought they could just draw a clear line between Hungary and Vienna during the Austro-Hungarian dual Empire. Then, in fact, the Hungarian group of people broke the pattern of Tucson! How could the Allies allow Hungary, a medium-sized power, to exist? So, after the war, Hungary only had more than 40% of the territory within the empire! It was decisively sold by the Allies. For the Allies, the so-called national self-determination also includes the ethnic minorities in Hungary! Without grouping with Austria to keep warm? Hungary is also the target of liquidation!
In the prince's opinion, ethnic issues are important issues that are no less than military issues. What has the prince been doing for so many years? Apart from farming, the rest is to bribe the Czechs in Austria! Maintain good relations with the top leaders, use interests to buy middle-level and intellectuals, and use violent means to suppress separatists. Now the Czechs are stable. Then, with the original Austrian Germans, the prince can ensure that once the family is separated in the future, the basic market of Austria will not change. As for wanting to gain more benefits, we can only use some means to waste Hungary and the Balkans!
What is the root cause of the rise of nationalism? One reason is national self-determination, the second reason is that the small country next to it is causing trouble. The third reason is that under the propaganda of intellectuals and the ruling class, the lower class believes that living independently will be better. Therefore, if you want to solve the problem of nationalism, you must take action on these three aspects. The first is the awakening of nationalism. There is no way to do it... After all, once people are motivated, it is very extreme. Don't talk about adults, just go home and look at the naughty children in your family...
As for the latter two, it is naturally possible to deal with it. If an independent small country is defeated, it will collapse directly, and let them get relieved for more than ten years! This is how the Austro-Hungarian Empire handled Serbia. As for the latter, it is enough to make the Serbs in Austria realize that they are living much better than the poor relatives next to them. Over time, civilian parochialism will gradually replace nationalism. There are examples of this. For example, after the Five Middle East Wars, the oil tyrants in the Middle East no longer care about Palestine. Earlier, when Egypt took back the lost territory in the Fourth Middle East War, it no longer looked for Israel. To put it bluntly, nationalism is just a dose of stimulant for countries that cannot improve the quality of life of the people after unification!
Therefore, in this war, the principle of the prince to maintain his vitality for the nations and regions belonging to Austria or may join Austria in the future is to try to maintain his vitality. As for other things, for example, Hungary, which has a strong tendency to split, you will do whatever you want. If you don’t want to do it, you will also help you to do it...
Once the guidelines are solved, then it is time to make specific tactical arrangements. It is not easy to mobilize a total of 14 divisions and subordinate troops. In particular, the prince and the prince do not know when Russia will launch an offensive. Everything needs to be raced against time. The two divisions originally deployed near Lviv can quickly enter the fortress area, and then the three Czech divisions and one Bavarian division in the Bohemia can also arrive quickly through the railway line and be fully equipped. This is the first wave of strike forces that can be mobilized within 10 days. These are ordinary infantry divisions.
It is difficult to transfer eight divisions, including one breakthrough division and three rapid divisions from Germany to the westernmost part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire... This matter is more troublesome. Even with the relatively complete railway network in Austro-Hungary, it is a troublesome to transfer these troops in a short time. After all, there are a lot of heavy equipment such as the breakthrough division and rapid division. Tanks, artillery, and ammunition must be taken by railway. This is beyond words, and the car sandwiches used by these troops alone are probably a very uneasy number. As for more than 100,000 people, it is probably even more difficult to go there.
Do you really think that everything will be fine after transporting people? It is not that easy, because the prince and the prince suddenly received a letter of information when they were designing the combat plan. According to aviation reconnaissance, they found that the Russians had many scheduled assembly positions this time and were scattered. The staff members could not understand the direction of the other party's attack, so they could not make effective preparations. After seeing the news, the prince felt a sense of déjà vu!
"The one who designated this plan must be Borusinov!" said the prince in his heart, because this plan is very close to a battle named after him in history! This battle, which claimed to defeat two empires in one fell swoop, is known for its multi-point attack and lightning strike! (The Austro-Hungarian Empire was severely damaged, and Russia also exhausted all its strength in this attack!)
