"Ruprecht, Ferdinand went to Bosinia-Herzegovia again. He was really obsessed with Serbia. It seems that the future war is likely to start from Serbia. This time it seems that he will not return to Vienna in a short period of time." In the Prague Palace, which was the official residence of the former Bohemia king, Princess Mary handed over the latest imperial updates received to Ruprecht. Then she said.

"Is that true? Is there any new developments in Vienna?" Ruprecht turned around and asked.

"Conrad will be responsible for the front line in Galicia and the eastern Korpathian Mountains. You are responsible for the Bohemia-Moravia line, and the Crown Prince Ferdinand seems to be responsible for the Balkan line." Princess Mary thought for a while and said.

"Until now, Fritz is still preparing to start a war on two fronts?" Ruprecht couldn't help but shook his head and said. It's already 1911. Although the Austro-Hungarian Legion has made good preparations in recent years. For example, two of the four joint force-class battleships of the Navy have been put into service, and the remaining one will join the naval sequence by the end of 1911. The Austro-Hungarian Fleet and the Turkish Navy have also reached a cooperation agreement. The maritime situation in the Mediterranean is much better.

In terms of the army, the Austro-Hungarian Empire also activated its own military system in advance. At least on the Austrian side, the equipment level of the Austro-Hungarian army was better than in history, and there was no need to push bronze artillery to the front line after the outbreak of War 1. Although the number of heavy artillery is still scarce, at least the division-level three-inch rapid-fire cannons and machine guns have been unnecessary for the Russians. As for the Hungarian side, although their equipment has not changed much, their strength has increased to a certain extent.

But even so, Ruprecht was still not optimistic about the situation of the Austro-Hungarian Legion, because while the Austro-Hungarian Legion was stronger than history, the Russian Legion on the opposite side became stronger. The Russians could not hide the movements of a large number of Poles from anyone, and the increased movements of the border troops were also seen by the Allies. Looking at the long strings of numbers and numbers on the intelligence, even Moltke felt a little numb.

He mentioned Russia's military strength in Poland more than once in his letter to Ruprecht. While asking whether the Bavarian Legion could complete the scheduled mission, he also requested that when the East Prussian Legion faced a crisis, Ruprecht would first pick up his German colleagues and then take charge of the Austro-Hungarian Empire... After all, in the Little Moltke's plan, the Eighth Army had to face two Russian armies. The former was similar in scale to history, but the latter seemed to have increased a lot, and the infantry divisions were expected to have more than 20!

Just as the Russians increased their troops a lot and even Moltke felt that the Eastern Front was not so stable, the Austro-Hungarian Empire was still thinking of both sides to deal with it, which was a bit suspicious of being dying. As Fritz's good son-in-law, Ruprecht once mentioned many times that the Austro-Hungarian Legion gathered and blocked the first wave of attacks by the Russians, but it was not successful once, which made the prince wonder, where did the Austro-Hungarian Emperor get so much confidence?

"This is actually more of a political purpose. Ferdinand wants to gain enough political capital to take office in this war, and what capital can be better than destroying a country on the battlefield? William II has set the time in September 1912. Ferdinand might want to solve Serbia before the war breaks out." Princess Mary thought for a while and said.

"It's all fantasy. If Austro-Hungary attacks Serbia, then Russia will inevitably participate in the war, and Russia's participation in the war will inevitably lead to a comprehensive confrontation between the Allies and the Allies. Even if the Russians are not prepared, they will still fight this war!" Ruprecht sighed. It seems that everything needs to be prepared in advance. Perhaps, the war will break out in September next year.

"Do you think Ferdinand can beat Serbia in the Balkans?" asked Princess Mary.

"If nothing unexpected happens, it may not work. Although his troops have two legions on paper, the equipment integrity rate and personnel full rate are always unsatisfactory. Of course, more importantly, I have never had much hope for the Austro-Hungarian Legion. Really, I am not joking, nor am I intentionally angering you." Looking at His Royal Highness, who had already pouted his mouth to express his dissatisfaction, Ruprecht could only express his apology again and again. But even so, it is impossible to make him say how strong the Austro-Hungarian Legion is against his will.

In fact, Fritz really wanted to start a war in advance and resolve Serbia, a thorn in his eyes before the war broke out. In his letter to the Austrian Emperor and the German Emperor, he wrote: "The Russians have not completed the final war preparations now. If it were just the war between the Austro-Hungarian Empire and Serbia, the Russians might not dare to intervene. In this case, why don't we solve an important enemy before the war begins?"

If you ask whether this is reasonable, it is certainly reasonable. After all, it was only five years after the end of the Russo-Japanese War, and the Russians did not fully recover their energy. Even the entire Allied Powers delayed the outbreak of the war. In the eyes of the Allied Powers, the Russians were 80% sure that they would not go to war with Germany and Austria at the same time because of the Serbian issue. But how to say, not starting a war does not mean that the Russians had not thought of countermeasures.

In a room on the outskirts of Belgrade, the windows were covered with gray curtains, and on the table in the middle of the room was covered with a black tablecloth, with a book on the left of the tablecloth and a pistol filled with bullets on the right.

"For the national independence and unity of Yugoslavia, we will devote everything we have!" shouted the members who sat around the table. And the people who sat in the front seats and always hid themselves in the shadows raised their hands to signal everyone to be quiet.

"Now, the Yugoslav nation has reached its most critical moment. The demons from the north want to calm down our motherland and launch a war when they are still weak, while our allies in the east are hesitant to take action to kill the war of the enemy in the north in the cradle!" The leader said firmly.

"Fritz must die. He is the commander of the Austro-Hungarian Legion. As long as he dies, the entire Austro-Hungarian Legion will be without a leader. All the crises facing Serbia will be solved. In a few years, with the support of the eastern allies, the establishment of Greater Serbia is just around the corner! History will prove that everything we do is worth it!" So, an assassination conspiracy began to brew in Belgrade, and this conspiracy even turned into a storm that swept the entire Balkans and even the world!
