"The German Empire wants to annex Austria?" Baron Berchdold''s eyes widened. He never imagined that Germany actually had such an idea. Originally, he and the ministers of the Austro-Hungarian Empire believed that the abdication of Karl I and the disintegration of the Austro-Hungarian Empire would calm the anger of the German Empire. After all, the Austrian Empire at that time no longer posed any threat to Germany.


    However, Baron Berchdold only now knows that everyone has underestimated the appetite of the Germans. The appetite of the young emperor of the German Empire was greater than anyone imagined.


    "Your Majesty, after the Austrian-Prussian War, Austria has withdrawn from Germany. It has been more than half a century. The Austrians no longer have a sense of belonging and identity to the German Empire. If Your Majesty forcibly annexes Austria, It will definitely arouse the resistance of the Austrians. You know, Austria has a poption of nearly 20 million, and only about 70% of them are Germans." Baron Berchdold said.


    He tried his best to want Kaiser Qin Tian to dispel his attempt to annex Austria. Although, he knew it was very difficult. However, for the future of the country, he still has to try his best.


    "I know, but I believe that as long as they are Germans, they will definitely recognize the German Empire. Now, the German Empire is the most powerful country in the world. I think those Germans will be very happy to be citizens of the world''s most powerful country! "Qin Tian said with a smile.


    Although Germany has implemented family nning, it will take at least twenty years to see the effect. In order to further increase the poption of Germany, Qin Tian had no choice but to turn his mind to Austria. Of Austria''s 20 million poption, only about 70 percent are Germans. But if you add the poption of Germany itself, it will be more than 70 million. It can be said that the annexation of Austria will increase the poption of Germany and make it more powerful. Therefore, Qin Tian will never give up on annexing Austria.


    "Your Majesty, if Germany forcibly annexes Austria, we will persist in resisting to the end. Although the Austro-Hungarian Empire has fallen apart, Austria still has considerable strength. At that time, the German Empire will pay a considerable price." Baron Bercidold threatened. Since soft ones are not enough, then only hard ones are avable.


    "Really? Baron, I am very much looking forward to the performance of your country''s * army. However, I believe that the army of the German Empire is the strongest, and the final victory must belong to us. If your country is really stubborn, That will only increase unnecessary casualties." Qin Tian was not angry, but said with a smile.


    Baron Berchdold ispletely desperate. He knew that nothing would work. It is already impossible to cancel the German Empire''s n to annex Austria.


    "Okay, Your Majesty, I already know the requirements of the German Empire. I will pass them on to the country!" Baron Berchdold said. Now he looks very helpless, as if he has aged a lot.


    "Your Excellency, the annexation of Austria by the German Empire is irreversible. In order to avoid unnecessary casualties, I hope that the Austro-Hungarian Empire will take the initiative to cooperate. I can promise you that after the Empire annexes Austria, it will try its best to take care of your interests." Qin Tian said.


    Baron Berchdold nodded, without saying anything, and after saluting Qin Tian, ??he turned and left.


    "Wacht, isn''t it too cruel for us to do this?" Qin Tian asked.


    "No, Your Majesty. Everything we do is for the benefit of the German Empire. For the benefit of the Empire, we must do that." Wachter said.


    Qin Tian nodded, indeed, everything is for the benefit of the German Empire. As long as this is the premise, no matter what you do, it is understandable.


    Baron Berchdold returned to the embassy. Although the two countries are already at war, the embassy is not yet closed. Therefore, Baron Berchdold can use the radio station here tomunicate with the country.


    It was alreadyte at night when Baron Berchdold watched the telegrapher send the telegram with his own eyes.


    "God! Have we really been abandoned?" Baron Bercidold murmured. He had a feeling that with the death of Franz Joseph I, the Austro-Hungarian Empire seemed to have ceased to exist.


    The capital of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, Vienna, the Prime Minister''s Office, and all the military and political ministers of the Austro-Hungarian Empire are here. Although, it is alreadyte at night, and everyone is yawning. But no one left. Before they received the telegram from Baron Bercidold, they couldn''t even sleep soundly.


    "Your Excellency, Your Excellency. Your Excellency the Foreign Minister has sent a telegram!" The secretary reported.


    Prime Minister Mario Weber immediately took the telegram and read it. The rest of the people gathered behind him and read the telegram together.


    "Bastard! The Germans actually want to annex us! They have a big appetite!" the Minister of War, Duke Kasbah, cursed.


    The faces of Archduke Friedrich and Baron Marshal Herzendorf were also very ugly. Germany''s attempt made them, soldiers, shameless.


    "We havepromised, but the Germans still refuse to let us go?" The Minister of Finance, Duke Andras, also looked angry.


    "Gentlemen, what should we do now? Baron Berchdold has made it very clear that the Germans are very determined to annex Austria. It is almost impossible for them to cancel this attempt." Mario ? Prime Minister Weber said.


    "Perhaps, even if we resist to the end, we will not be able to prevent the Germans from annexing Austria. However, we cannot do nothing and allow the Germans to annex Austria easily. We want the Germans to see that the Austrians are also **** !” said Archduke Friedrich.


    "Yes, the only way is to let the Germans see our determination and let them see our strength. Only in this way will they give up their unrealistic delusions!" Baron Herzendorf also said.


    "Then let''s fight to the end!" said the Minister of War, Duke Kasbah.


    Although, they all know that even if they fight to the end, there will be no chance of winning. However, after humiliating and failing to get what they wanted, they could only fight to the death. When the country was about to cease to exist, their blood was also inspired.
