Chapter 313 Crown Prince vs. Crown Prince (2200 votes plus update)

"Your Majesty, I heard that Crown Prince Oscar has already rushed to the front line. I hope to go to the front line to get to know this talented crown prince, and at the same time, to boost the morale of the troops on the front line!" Karl, the Crown Prince of Austria-Hungary, said to Franz? Joseph I said.

Franz Joseph I thought for a few seconds, then nodded in agreement. The well-aged Franz Joseph I was well aware of Crown Prince Karl's little thoughts. It was nothing more than jealousy of the brilliant achievements of the Crown Prince of the German Empire at such a young age. However, Franz Joseph I believed that there would be no harm in letting Crown Prince Karl go and see his own differences. After all, Karl is now the crown prince of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, and Franz Joseph I still counts on the future crown prince Karl to lead the Austro-Hungarian Empire to develop even stronger.

The headquarters of the Austrian Army on the Eastern Front is located in Uzhhorod. Because of the importance of the battlefield on the Eastern Front, Marshal Franz Konrad Herzendorf, Chief of Staff of the Austrian Army, personally sat here to direct the Austrian army to fight the Russian army. It's just that, in the battles in the past few days, the Austrian army has almost won less and lost more. If this continues, I am afraid that it will not be long before they will be defeated by the Russian army.

Previously, the Austrian army assembled four armies on the Eastern Front, namely the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th armies, all of which were elite units of the Austrian army. But because of the betrayal of the Kingdom of Italy, the 1st Army had to return to the country to help, leaving only three armies on the front line with more than 700,000 people. The Russian army on the opposite side has recovered to 4 army groups, and, according to the information they received, there is another Russian army army on the way.

The disastrous defeat of the Russian army in the Kingdom of Poland made Tsar Nicholas II very angry. Of course, this also let him know how powerful the German army is. In order to vent his anger, Nicholas II had no choice but to target the Austro-Hungarian Empire. In the eyes of the Tsar and the senior generals of the Russian army, the Germans were too powerful to deal with. But Austria-Hungary was different. If it can beat the Austro-Hungarian Empire, or even completely defeat the Austro-Hungarian Empire, Russia can also regain face on the battlefield. It can even create better opportunities for the subsequent defeat of Germany.

The Russians' actions naturally put the Austro-Hungarian Empire under greater pressure on the Eastern Front.

The Austrian Eastern Front Command, Baron Herzendorf Marshal, and several army commanders are waiting for the arrival of Crown Prince Karl. It is undoubtedly a big event for these frontline generals that the crown prince wants to inspect the frontline. What's more, Archduke Friedrich, one of the commanders-in-chief of the Austro-Hungarian army, will also come to the front with Crown Prince Karl. This made the generals on the front line couldn't help but pay more attention to it.

"Your Excellency Chief of Staff, the current situation is becoming more and more unfavorable for the Austro-Hungarian Empire and the entire Allied Powers. The Italians are despicable and shameless. They actually betrayed us and defected to the Allied Powers. If we had known that they would drive out such a thing, we We should have attacked them at the beginning of the war and defeated them." An Austrian general, General Pom Elmoli, commander of the Austrian 2nd Army, looked angry.

"The betrayal of the Italians was indeed beyond our expectations. However, if we want to keep the Italians, we have to pay a lot of territory along the Adriatic Sea. This is also not good for the Austro-Hungarian Empire. It may be acceptable." Baron Marshal Herzendorf said with a cold face. For the Austro-Hungarian Empire, Italy is undoubtedly their old enemy. On this issue, Germany stood on the side of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, which made the generals of the Austro-Hungarian Empire very grateful.

"Although the current situation is not good for us. However, the war has just begun. It is hard to say who will win and who will lose. Our German allies performed quite amazingly in this war! Not only the German Army once again Prove to the world that their title of No. 1 in the world is not for nothing. The German navy also fought very well, and even suppressed the British Royal Navy. Therefore, it is not that we have no chance of winning this battle." Austrian Army General Borojevic, commander of the 3rd Army, said.

All the generals of the Austrian army nodded their heads in agreement with this point of view.

Although, the Austrian army's performance in this war was very bad, and it was completely inconsistent with their national strength, which made these generals of the Austrian army feel ashamed. However, fortunately, their ally, the German Empire, played very well. Therefore, they are not worried about losing in this battle. If the German Empire wins the war, they will also be able to hitch a ride, become the winner of the war, and share the dividends of the war.

Several luxury Daimler A-class cars arrived at the headquarters under the guard of a cavalry. Marshal Herzendorf and others immediately went up to him.

As a close ally of the German Empire, many products of Germany can be popular in the Austro-Hungarian Empire. As a model of luxury cars, Daimler's A-class car has naturally become the object of pursuit by senior officials of the Austro-Hungarian Empire government and military generals. This time, Crown Prince Karl arrived at the front line in this kind of car.

"His Royal Highness, Your Excellency the Grand Duke, on behalf of the frontline soldiers, I welcome you to the frontline." Baron Herzendorf, Marshal, had a smile on his face.

"Well, Marshal, you are too polite. Is the Crown Prince of Germany here?" After getting off the car, Crown Prince Karl looked around.

"His Royal Highness, His Royal Highness Oscar hasn't arrived yet. We contacted him before, and it is estimated that he will arrive tomorrow." Baron Marshal Herzendorf said.

"It won't be until tomorrow? Huh! You really know how to put on airs." Crown Prince Karl snorted coldly. In his opinion, Qin Tian is the crown prince of Germany, and he is also the crown prince of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Regardless of status and status, he is no worse than Qin Tian. Even, he is one year older than Qin Tian. No matter what, Qin Tian should have arrived first to greet him.

Marshal Herzendorf was a little speechless. Now he felt that it was not a good thing for Crown Prince Karl to go to the front line. If the Germans are angered and they are no longer reinforced, then this will be troublesome!

Baron Marshal Herzendorf quickly looked at Archduke Friedrich and asked him for help.

Grand Duke Friedrich knew the meaning of Baron Marshal Herzendorf: "His Royal Highness Oscar came from Berlin, it will take more time, let's wait!"

The next day, Qin Tian rushed all the way to Uzhhorod. The troops of the 8th Army had already rushed to the front line, and they were not with Qin Tian.
