Jagged Germany

  In the war room of the General Staff of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, there was a man who remained silent from beginning to end. He is Admiral Antonhaus, commander of the Austro-Hungarian Navy. The Austro-Hungarian Empire did not have the post of Minister of the Navy, so Admiral Antonhaus was the supreme commander of the navy.

  Originally, the Austro-Hungarian Empire did not pay much attention to the navy. After all, their coastline is too short. The Adriatic Sea is too narrow, and it is easy to be blocked by the enemy. Therefore, the navy of the Austro-Hungarian Empire has never been strong.

  After Archduke Ferdinand became the crown prince, he began to pay attention to the development of the navy and increased investment in the navy. After Karl became the crown prince, he further increased his investment in the navy, and even purchased eight powerful battleships at one time, making the Austro-Hungarian navy a powerful navy second only to the German navy. .

  This made the Austro-Hungarian Navy loyal to Karl I. The same is true for Admiral Anton House.

   Just now, Prime Minister Mario Weber and other Austro-Hungarian military and political ministers actually began to discuss the abandonment of Karl I, which made Admiral Antonhaus very angry. Although there was no expression on his face, the hands hidden in the sleeves were clenched into fists. If it weren't for the fact that this was the territory of the army, not only would there be no results for him to attack rashly, but he would also get himself into it, and he might beat these guys hard.

  No matter what, Karl I is their emperor! Although, Karl I's approach this time was a bit extreme, which caused the Austro-Hungarian Empire to suffer heavy losses. However, Karl I's original intention was good! He didn't want to see Austria-Hungary being suppressed by Germany step by step, so he chose to fight back. Everything is for the Austro-Hungarian Empire, and I hope that the Austro-Hungarian Empire will become stronger. It's just that their enemy was too powerful this time, making Karl I's plan fail.

  However, these guys, as important ministers of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, now only want to abandon Karl I to protect their own interests. That's right, in the eyes of Admiral Antonhaus, the actions of those ministers were not so much to preserve the Austrian Empire as to preserve their own glory and wealth. will be very dissatisfied.

   "It is precisely because of the existence of these guys that the national power of the Austro-Hungarian Empire is gradually declining. If this is not the case, how could we lose so quickly?" Admiral Antonhaus thought in his heart.

  After the meeting, Admiral Anton House returned to the Naval Command. He then took off his military uniform and headed to the palace in disguise.

  When Admiral Anton House, who was dressed in casual clothes, entered the palace, Karl I couldn't help being stunned. He didn't seem to understand why Admiral Anton House chose to enter the palace in this way.

   You know, Admiral Antonhaus is his most trusted and valued minister, which is almost a well-known thing in the entire Austro-Hungarian Empire. Even if it is the palace, General Antonhaus can do whatever he wants. Now, Admiral Anton House is actually dressed like this, obviously something big has happened. Moreover, it is very detrimental to himself.

  Although this disastrous defeat hit Karl I deeply. However, he didn't get fooled because of this, and soon figured it out.

   "General Antonhaus, what happened?" Karl I asked.

   "Your Majesty, the cabinet has sent Baron Beridold to Germany to seek a meeting with the Kaiser, and is ready to make peace. In order to hurry, Baron Beridold even went to Berlin by plane." Admiral Antonhaus said.

  Karl I's complexion suddenly turned ugly. His courtiers were so eager to seek the forgiveness of the Germans, which undoubtedly made him feel ashamed! However, thinking that the Austro-Hungarian Empire has already suffered a complete defeat in this war, and if it does not seek a peaceful solution to this war, the Austro-Hungarian Empire will lose more benefits. Karl I had nothing else to say.

   "The current empire has no way to continue fighting. Seeking forgiveness from the Germans earlier is of great benefit to the empire!" Karl I said.

Admiral Antonhaus nodded: "However, Your Majesty. After discussions, the ministers believed that after this war, the Austro-Hungarian Empire would definitely cease to exist. If the Austrian Empire can be kept, it would be the best result." .”

"Well. The Kingdom of Hungary, the Kingdom of Bohemia, the Kingdom of Dalmatia, the Kingdom of Croatia-Snovonia and other states have all betrayed the empire. The Austro-Hungarian Empire has fallen apart and cannot exist anymore. Those The reason why the country betrayed the empire must be that the Germans promised them better terms. Therefore, after the war is over, the Germans will fulfill their promises and support the independence of those countries. At that time, Austria-Hungary, which has lost these states The empire, of course, ceased to exist. Being able to keep the Austrian Empire is already a blessing among misfortunes." Karl I sighed.

  If God gave him another chance, Karl I would not be so reckless. Even if he is hostile to Germany, he will not show it again until he has no strength to confront Germany. He won't be so arrogant anymore. After all, the Austro-Hungarian Empire looks like a big country, but in fact it has a lot of problems.

"Your Majesty, the ministers have also decided that if the Germans want you to abdicate, they will accept it. And from among the children of the Habsburg family, a new one will be selected to be the future emperor of the Austrian Empire." Admiral Antonhaus Then he said.

  Suddenly, Karl I's face became quite ugly, although because of him, the Austro-Hungarian Empire suffered such a heavy blow. However, he still attaches great importance to the throne. Now, they actually want to deprive him of the throne, which is absolutely unacceptable to Karl I.

   "Damn it!" Karl I cursed.

   Admiral Anton House said nothing.

   "General Antonhaus, can I trust you?" Karl I asked.

   "Your Majesty, I am your most loyal subject!" Admiral Anton House assured.

   Karl I nodded, his eyes full of madness.

   "If so, the empire will definitely perish, or I will be kicked out of the throne. I hope you can lead the naval fleet to **** me to the United States and form a government-in-exile!" Karl I said. He is not someone who is willing to sit and wait for death, even at the last moment, he will not give up lightly.

   "Yes, Your Majesty!" Admiral Anton House nodded heavily.
