While flickering in Switzerland, Austria also took the same routine to flicker in Spain, except that the conditions were more favorable and the requirements were more relaxed.

Although the Banya Empire has fallen, it is also a member of the great powers. Small profits cannot be bought, and Austria is reluctant to pay a big price.

So they can only reduce the requirements, and they don't need them to send troops to the war. As long as Chen Bing's borders add to the French, and when the overall situation has been decided, he can go up and make up the knife.

If the French win, then when nothing happens, why should they go?

Anyway, even the military expenses are given by Austria. The interest-free loan in front is the appearance fee for the Spaniards.

If you make a profitable business without losing money, you don't need to worry about losing money at all.

The only trouble is probably to offend the French, but before the change in foreign policy, it offends and doesn't care to come again.

As a member of the powers, this little thing, Spain can afford it.

In addition to attracting Western and Swiss countries, Austria is also in public relations with other European countries.

Although it is impossible for these countries to participate in the war because of geopolitics, it is still good to use it to gain momentum.

In contrast, the French responded much more slowly. It's really not waste material from the French Ministry of Foreign Affairs, mainly because the historical legacy is too serious.

The exposed China-EU strategy has aroused the vigilance of European countries and directly increased the difficulty of the work of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

Despite repeated denials by the French government, the action of expanding the military and preparing for war cannot deceive people. Compared to the French promise, everyone is more willing to believe what they see.

Especially after the participation of the British, the situation has become more complicated, and many people are worried about the outbreak of a comprehensive war on the European continent, namely: Anglo-French alliance vs Russia-Austria alliance.

The turbulent international situation worries Alexander III, who is far away in St. Petersburg. If you want to provoke the war between France and Austria, it must not be now.

Since the tension in Europe, the prices of various strategic materials have skyrocketed, and not many have doubled.

No matter how high the price is, the Tsarist government can only grapple and buy, or even hoard more, otherwise the European war will really break out, and then it will be rich and will not be able to buy the goods.

Affected by rising prices, the tsarist government's military expenditures have increased sharply in the last two or three months.

Alexander III: "Will the French accept our mediation?"

There is no doubt that the key to the problem is the French. As long as the French government is willing to abandon the China-EU strategy, this war will not be fought.

Oscar Jimenez, the Foreign Secretary, shook his head: "Accepted, it means no.

The French government promised to abandon the China-EU strategy, but they put forward the conditions to cede several coal mines on the border to compensate for the losses.

Judging from the current situation, it is impossible for the governments of the two countries to make such a big concession. Austria's attitude at the time of World War I gave them confidence. "

Quite a bit before the First World War, the Allies and Allies have the confidence to win the war, whoever counsels the grandson.

Although the two countries are weak, there are many allies! Not to mention that most European countries support their resistance to aggression, and with Austria ’s backing, they have the courage to fight against the French.

Compromise is simple. Nationalism in both countries has risen. If the concessions were made to the French, the saliva of the domestic people would bury the government.

The two countries cannot concede, and the Paris government cannot stop. The economic crisis will erupt immediately after taking over the country, and if not, there will be another Paris revolution.

Having figured it all out, Alexander III cursed: "Damn british, you will play these tricks."

No evidence is needed. From the perspective of benefit, we know that we can't break away from the British.

"The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has given me a way to delay the outbreak of the European War. No matter what method you use, it can be intimidating and intimidating. You must delay the outbreak of war until the second half of next year."

There is no way, if the European War broke out immediately, seeing the victory in Afghanistan, it became confusing.

Although Alexander III had confidence in the Russian army, the British could not stand up to the money, and if they could not win on the battlefield, they could continue to drag on.

Without the support of the gold master, the tsarist government ’s wallet alone will not last long.

Oscar Jimenez replied in embarrassment: "Your Majesty, this is probably very difficult to do.

If we did have the strength to intervene before the outbreak of the Afghan war, we can calm down both sides, but now the French may not buy it. "

It is not that the face of the Russian Empire is not big enough. The point is that the time is wrong. Several countries are expanding their armaments and preparing for war.

When the war broke out, the only difference was a fuse. I didn't want to stop at all, I was able to stop.

Delaying the outbreak of war is easier said than done, but we must consider the actual situation! If possible, the French also wanted to drag the British and Russian sides into injury after losing both hands.

The problem is that the China-EU strategy has been exposed in advance, and it is well known that the French government is not ready.

Judging from the posture of the neighbors ’army expansion, if it is dragged into the second half of next year, it is possible that the two countries will have two million troops.

Even if they are two million pigs, they will not be able to kill them in a short while. So many troops are enough to insist on the arrival of the Austrian reinforcements.

If a breakthrough cannot be made in a short time, the war will become a war of attrition. For France, the war of attrition is a disaster.

...

The war was imminent, and Franz couldn't keep it secret. Armor and tanks, which had been hidden for a long time, came out of the laboratory and entered the Austrian army.

Without any drag and water, Franz directly ordered the formation of 6 armored divisions and 4 tank brigades.

It is not Franz that discriminates against tank troops, mainly because the tanks of this year are all snail-like speed, and the actual combat value is far less than armored vehicles.

Take the v3 tanks currently in service as an example. The speed limit per hour is only 12 kilometers.

This is still a theoretical value. It can only be run on a flat ground without obstacles. In actual combat, it can run at a speed of 8 kilometers per hour, which is God's blessing.

In comparison, armored vehicles are much faster, running at random speeds of 50 to 60 kilometers per hour, with a maximum speed of 94.7 kilometers.

In addition to speed, the failure rate of tanks is also much higher than that of armored vehicles. An average of one or two hundred kilometers is run, and a repair is necessary.

With so many shortcomings, the tank can also be installed, and naturally has its unique advantages.

That is, it is more resistant than armored vehicles. When destroying enemy fortifications, breaking through trenches, barbed wire, and machine gun fire points, tanks are almost invincible, at least in this era.

Of course, you can also bully the infantry and cavalry who bullied the enemy in the decisive battle, and you can just press it all the way. The blow to the morale of the army is huge.

After inspecting the freshly prepared armored forces, Franz was confident.

Although the armored troops are very immature, the military has no experience in using armored troops, but the enemy is a group of infantry and cavalry!

Even if France is good at imitating and following suit, plagiarism is too late. Austria has been engaged in armored forces for more than ten years, and they cannot be caught up in a short time.

Looking at the armored forces being trained, Franz asked with concern: "How long will it take for the armored forces to form combat power?"

Army Secretary Feslav: "The armored force is a new technical arm, and we have never been in contact before.

It has been less than a month from the formation of the troops to the present. I am afraid it will take at least a year to truly form combat effectiveness.

However, the enemy we are going to face this time does not have armored forces. What we have to deal with is the French infantry and cavalry. After training for a month or two, it can also be used. "

Strength and weakness are relative. If it is a battle evenly matched, it is natural to face it at its peak.

But now the armored forces are fighting against the flesh and blood, even if they are not in the peak state, they can also be slammed.

Franz nodded: "We have enough time, even if war breaks out, armored forces do not need to be on the front line as soon as possible.

Practice slowly according to normal progress. In the next three months, the armored forces will have no combat missions. "

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Duke Friedrich replied

There is no doubt that this group of armored forces is the most important arm of the Austrian army, and such forces are naturally given to their own command.

Anyway, everyone has no command experience, not even the object of learning. It is necessary to start from scratch, and it is necessary to promote young officers.

In this context, the Grand Duke Friedrich did not need to continue to hone in East Africa. He directly transferred back to Franz and was ordered to form this armored group army.
