"What? Follow yourmand! Impossible, this is absolutely impossible." Crown Prince Karl jumped up, his face full of anger, as if he had heard something insulting him.


    The other generals of the Austrian army also felt a little shocked. However, their reaction was not as intense as that of Crown Prince Karl.


    After Qin Tian saw Crown Prince Karl''s reaction, he couldn''t help frowning. He faintly felt that Crown Prince Karl seemed to be very disgusted with him, and even had a hostile feeling. This made Qin Tian somewhat puzzled. He couldn''t remember where he had offended Crown Prince Karl.


    "His Royal Highness Karl, now our two countries are fighting together, and the Austrian army is fully cooperating with us. Is there nothing to be surprised about?" Manstein asked.


    "Damn, arrogant German, can even a small brigadier question me?" Crown Prince Karl was even more angry. However, he obviously couldn''t express his true thoughts. In that case, it would not only seriously affect the rtionship between the Austro-Hungarian Empire and the German Empire, but also make him questioned by the generals. Even Emperor Franz Joseph I of Austria would have a bad impression of him. After all, it is still a period of close cooperation between Germany and Austria.


    Taking a deep breath, Crown Prince Karl suppressed the anger in his heart, and began to justify himself: "First, I have some doubts about the battle n you proposed. Would such a n be too risky? The fighting power of the Russians, Not weak. Second, the German army only sent one legion, with less than 200,000 people participating in the battle. And we have three armies, with nearly a million people. Even if it is a joint operation, I am afraid that the German army should obey ourmand Bar."


    "His Royal Highness, this battle n is not risky. We dare to propose this battle n, which means we are confident in it. The Russian army''sbat effectiveness is indeed not weak, but our Eighth Army is even stronger. We can easily defeat any Russian army." Brigadier General Manstein looked confident and proud. This kind of self-confidence and pride is absolutely absent from the generals of the Austrian army. Of course, the main reason is that they simply don''t have the confidence to defeat the Russians on the battlefield. Before, they were beaten all over the ground by the Russians, and they had already lost a lot.


    "As for the Austrian army, which has more troops than us, but obeys ourmand, it''s no big deal! This is a time of war, and any strategy that will help us win this war can be tried. More What''s more, in the next battle, we will undertake the most importantbat missions, and the Austrian army should cooperate with us, right!" Brigadier General Manstein continued.


    Crown Prince Karl was ashamed and angry, and was questioned by a small brigadier general of the German army, which made his face not know where to put it.


    A group of generals of the Austrian army, although somewhat reluctant in their hearts. But they had to admit that what Brigadier General Manstein said made a lot of sense. Moreover, in the previous battles, it has been proved that the Austrian army is not the opponent of the Russian army at all. If you want to defeat the Russians, you can only rely on the German army. Since the Germans are so confident about the next battle, it seems that it is not uneptable for the Austrian army to obey themand of the German army and fully cooperate with them.


    They also couldn''t figure out why Crown Prince Karl''s reaction was so big. Therefore, this also makes them do not know how to answer.


    Archduke Friedrich couldn''t help sighing: "Is the gap between the Austro-Hungarian Empire and the German Empire already that big? Not only are the abilities of the crown princes of the two sides very different, even a small German empire Brigadier generals have such abilities. It seems that it is not unreasonable for the German Empire to surpass us!"


    I think back then, before the Prussian-Austrian War, Austria was the most powerful of the many states in Germany. However, the sudden rise of the Kingdom of Prussia and the defeat of Austria in the Austro-Prussian War prevented Austria from remaining in the German Federation. Theprehensive national strength of the current German Empire far exceeds that of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, so that they can only hold a candle to it and are willing to be the younger brother of the German Empire.


    "His Royal Highness Oscar, we have no doubts about thebat effectiveness of the German Eighth Army. We also believe that His Highness can lead the German Eighth Army to defeat the Russians. However, the next battle is really important. If we cannot win , This will cause the Austro-Hungarian Empire to suffer huge losses, and even lead to a major defeat on the Eastern Front, and the consequences will be very serious. Therefore, we hope that Your Highness will be more cautious and not rashlyunch an attack." Archduke Friedrich said .


    "Your Excellency, theunch of the next campaign was discussed and demonstrated by the German General Staff. We believe that now is the best chance to defeat the Russian army. The war broke out until now, and Russia''s mobilization has not yet beenpleted. Although, There are already a lot of Russian reserve troops on the battlefield, but they are only a small number of troops. Once the Russian army is mobilized, the consequences may be even more serious. At that time, we will face more Russian troops In that case, the situation will be even more unfavorable to us. Therefore, before this winter, it is our only chance to defeat the Russian army. If it continues, it will be more and more unfavorable to us!" Qin Tian said.


    Archduke Friedrich nodded, and the other Austrian generals also seemed to agree. Only Crown Prince Karl felt a little anxious. Why are these Austrian generals biased toward the Germans? In that case, wouldn''t themand be handed over to others?


    "Your Highness, is the German army really sure of winning the next battle?" Baron Herzendorf also looked solemn.


    "Of course! I believe that we will be able to defeat the Russians. On that day, the prerequisite is that we cooperate closely." Qin Tian said with a smile. He already felt that these Austrian generals were about to be persuaded by him. Although, letting millions of Austrian troops obey themand of less than 200,000 German troops made them feel a little ufortable. However, they are more eager for victory. If the Russians can be defeated, then even obeying themand of the German army is no big deal.


    "Your Excellency, I think we should consider the overall situation." Baron Marshal Herzendorf said.


    "Your Excellency, Chief of Staff..." Crown Prince Karl was a little anxious.


    However, Archduke Friedrich nodded: "In this case, Your Highness Oscar, in the next battle, the Austrian army will fully cooperate with the German army. We hope that we can win this battle!"
