"Come on, arrange for people to search Vienna and its surroundings immediately, even if you dig three feet, you have to find Karl I!" Marshal Howson ordered. Although, Marshal Howson knew that the possibility of finding Karl I may not be great.
Originally, Marshal Howson hoped to achieve aplete victory. However, now this victory has been discounted, which naturally makes him very dissatisfied.
Captured Vienna, and then captured the monarchs and ministers of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Then, there is no doubt that this will be a perfect victory. But unfortunately, Karl I, Emperor of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, disappeared.
Marshal Howson knew that the Empire nned to swallow Austria. The existence of Karl I will undoubtedly add some variables to Germany''s n. After all, although Karl I was ipetent, he was the emperor of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. This was crowned and cannot be changed by anyone. Even if Germany forcibly annexed Austria, there must be some Austrians in it who are still loyal to Karl I. And these will be the unstable factors that Germany needs to face in the future.
"Yes, Marshal." A general immediately went to make arrangements.
Archduke Friedrich on the side heard Marshal Hausen''s order, but he didn''t care. Even they don''t know when Karl I left, so it is certain that Karl I must have fled Vienna a long time ago, not even far from Trieste. It ispletely impossible for the German army to catch up with Karl I.
However, as Duke Kasbah said, this is already a matter for the Germans and has nothing to do with them.
The German army captured Vienna, and the resistance of the Austrian army stopped. Although, there are still very few soldiers loyal to the Austro-Hungarian Empire, or Austria, who do not surrender. However, it is only a matter of time before the German army will march to the whole of Austria and destroy them.
One of the six traditional powers in the world, the Austro-Hungarian Empire, the victorious country in thest World War, was destroyed in this way. Such a result exceeded the expectations of the whole world. Of course, when the Austro-Hungarian Empire fell apart and the Austrian army performed very unbearably, all this has been proved.
The capital of Germany, Berlin, has be a sea of ??joy. The German army once again defeated a powerful country at an extremely small cost, and it was a devastating blow, which made all Germans very excited. They believe more and more that Germany''s title as the world''s most powerful country is absolutely worthless. Even if the country that was destroyed was once their ally, everyone has fought side by side together. However, it still made the Germans very happy.
In the imperial pce, the military and political officials of the empire are congratting Qin Tian. Everyone is also very satisfied with the victory of the German Empire in this war. After all, the war cost Germany almost nothing. After defeating the Austro-Hungarian Empire, everyone is very clear about the benefits it will bring to Germany. It can be said that because of this battle, Germany''s strength can be increased by at least 20%. This is already very difficult for Germany, which is now the world''s hegemon.
"Your Majesty, Vienna has been captured. Our army will march to other parts of Austria. It is estimated that the whole of Austria will be stabilized soon." Marshal von Falkenhain smiled.
Qin Tian nodded: "The soldiers on the front line performed very well in this battle! Next, in order to ensure the stability of Austria, our troops may need to be temporarily stationed in Austria for a period of time. We must warn those troops, the Empire Austria will soon be annexed. The people there will also be Germans. Therefore, they must observe military discipline and must not run amok in Austria. The gendarmerie must follow up, and anyone who vites military discipline will be severely punished!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Marshal von Falkenhain put away his smiling face and replied with a serious face.
"Everyone, the empire will annex Austria next, and the cab can formte a corresponding n. We destroyed the Austro-Hungarian Empire, which made the Austrians somewhat resentful and dissatisfied with us. In order to ensure that the empire can annex Austria smoothly, we We can’t cause more trouble at this time. After all, we still count on those Austrians to recognize themselves as Germans. In this way, it makes sense for us to annex Austria. If Austria keeps resisting and riots continue , then there will be big * troubles. At that time, the annexation of Austria will not only not increase our strength, but will be our burden!" Qin Tian said solemnly.
"Yes, Your Majesty!" The military and political ministers of the empire all replied.
"Your Majesty, after our army captured Vienna, we did not find Karl I. Now, the army has searched in and around Vienna. However, I am afraid it will be difficult to find it. The Austrian army also imed that they did not know when Karl I left. ’” Marshal von Falkenhain continued.
Qin Tian couldn''t help but frowned. He originally meant that after capturing Karl I, he abolished his throne and put him under house arrest. In this case, there is almost no problem. However, he did not expect that Karl I would disappear.
"Forget it, if you don''t see it, it will disappear. I guess Karl I wants to escape." Qin Tian said indifferently.
"Your Majesty, since the Austro-Hungarian Empire has copsed, Karl I probably won''t stay in the Austro-Hungarian Empire anymore. He may flee from the Austro-Hungarian Empire, or even from Europe, to form a government in exile. If he can be caught, That is naturally the best." Prime Minister Biluo said.
"Let''s take action from the Intelligence Bureau. If Karl I can be caught, that would be great!" Qin Tian said.
"Next, it''s time for us to fulfill our promises. The Kingdom of Bohemia and the Kingdom of Hungary can gain independence. However, it must be emphasized that they must be the protectorate of the Empire! The other states of the Austro-Hungarian Empire , can also be dealt with ording to such conditions." Qin Tian said.
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
"In addition, it is officially announced that Austria will be the eastern province of the empire, under the direct control of the imperial cab. All Austrians will automatically obtain the status of Germans." Qin Tian continued.
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
On the second day after the German army captured Vienna, the German government announced that Germany would annex Austria from now on. This shocked the whole world. Because they know that Germany has be stronger because of this.
