With the development of the situation, Austria-Hungary has also become increasingly tough on the Bosnian issue. The compensation demanded by Serbia was also categorically rejected. This made Serbia very angry, and dissatisfaction with Austria-Hungary was growing.

Russia, the biggest patron behind Serbia, is now busy holding an international conference to revise the Berlin Treaty and agree to open the Black Sea Strait to Russian warships. After obtaining the support of Austria-Hungary, Izvolisky went to European countries to lobby for the support of Britain, France and other countries for the Russian plan.

While Izvorisky was negotiating in France, on October 7, the Austro-Hungarian Empire officially announced that the provinces of Poland and Herzegovina would be incorporated into its own territory.

At the last moment, he was still negotiating with France to revise the Berlin Treaty. The next moment, Izvolsky, who got the news, was furious, This is that the Austro-Hungarians are all bastards who do not keep their promises.

In Izvolsky's vision, after amending the Treaty of Berlin. Then negotiate with Austria-Hungary to return the Serb area of ​​Bosnia and Herzegovina to Serbia, which can not only amend the Berlin Treaty, but also win over the most loyal younger brother in the Balkans. It can also let Izvolsky show his ability to be valued in front of Nicholas II.

Now everything has been ruined by Austria-Hungary's early annexation of Bosnia and Herzegovina. The Berlin Treaty has not been revised yet. Let Izvolski do something to appease Serbia. According to the character of Tsar Nicholas II, if he failed to achieve the set goal, then he would also be abandoned by the Tsar and could only be forced to resign and leave in despair.

How can Izvolsky accept this. Now I can only hope that Austria-Hungary cannot successfully annex Bosnia and Herzegovina, which is my only way.

After Serbia received the news that Austria-Hungary announced the annexation of Bosnia and Herzegovina, it also raised heated opposition. They were angry at Austria-Hungary for ignoring Serbia's feelings.

Both the government and the military have asked King Peter Karagiovitch to implement it as previously planned. Because they all know that if Austria-Hungary successfully annexes Bosnia and Herzegovina, the next step will be full of ambitions for Serbia. In the face of people who were already excited, King Peter I also announced the mobilization of the army in accordance with public opinion, and at the same time asked Russia for assistance.

In St. Petersburg, Nicholas II also held a meeting to discuss the impact of Austria-Hungary's annexation of Bosnia and Herzegovina on Russia.

We must support Serbia. We can send military officers to help the people of Bosnia and Herzegovina resist the annexation of Austria-Hungary, aid military supplies, and we cannot agree with Austria-Hungary's approach diplomatically. Skye speaks his mind.

After Izvolski made his suggestion, Prime Minister Stolypin, known for his calmness and pragmatism, also expressed his thoughts. Your Majesty, we must show Serbia that Russia supports them. Let Austria-Hungary feel the wrath of Russia being ignored.

The ministers also all made speeches to express the attitude of the Balkan issue, which cannot be without the right to speak in Russia. In the face of the order of Nicholas II, who had a highly unified ministerial opinion, officers were dispatched to help the Serbs in Bosnia and Herzegovina to resist the rule of Austria-Hungary.

After receiving a response from Russia, a large number of Serbian soldiers in Serbia crossed the border to join the Bosnian Serb guerrillas.

In a town called Rogatica, 30 kilometers away from Sarajevo, the capital of Bosnia and Herzegovina, the people here are talking about what happened last night.

You know, the barracks that was stationed outside the town rang all night. I was scared to hide in the house. A fat woman told her neighbor what happened last night.

Who can sleep with such a big movement last night? I heard that some daring people ran near the barracks and saw a group of outsiders attack the barracks. Neighbors also said their own news.

In the core barracks of the topic of discussion, the captain of the Austro-Hungarian army, Captain Cassie Ludes, was also taking stock of his losses. After the inventory was completed, Captain Casey Luders cursed while looking at the loss list in his hand. Damn Serbs, damn Sentinels.

After Austria-Hungary announced the annexation of Bosnia and Herzegovina, the company of Captain Cassirolds suffered several attacks, but because the attackers were only a few, dissatisfied with the Serbian civilians annexed by Austria-Hungary, there were few casualties.

This attack can be judged from the tactics and marksmanship of the regular army, plus the laziness of the sentinels. Let the attackers touch the barracks. If a soldier hadn't got up to go to the toilet, their casualties would have been even more severe. Even so, 34 people were killed and 41 wounded, accounting for one-third of the company's reimbursement.

Sir, we have gathered the bodies of the attackers together. A soldier came over and said to the captain, and Captain Casey Luders came to the clearing where the bodies were placed, surrounded by soldiers.

The platoon leader, Lieutenant Derospan, told the captain and company commander the results of his inspection, The company commander is as expected. These people have thick calluses on their hands and index fingers, and they are soldiers who have been trained for a long time. We are in the pockets of these people's clothes. They also found out that the military map is just a Severn version. They really don't care.

How many bodies of the attackers were found? asked Captain Casey Luders.

We found a total of 19 bodies, and the injured should be taken away by them but not too many. Second Lieutenant Derospan answered the captain's question.

After hearing the second lieutenant's answer, Captain Casey Luders felt a headache. Such a loss ratio can be imagined, and his commander has the look of Major Goodslow, nicknamed the 'Whisperer'. In fact, Captain Cassie Luthers' prediction was accurate.

After returning the report of the attack to battalion headquarters, Major Goodslow roared, spit in his face. You are a disgrace to our Austro-Hungarian soldiers. A group of attackers with only rifles rushed into your barracks and happily ran wild. And you, Captain Cassie Ludes, watched them destroy and then went away, but you did not Any way to stop it. Please tell me Captain, are you a disgrace to the military.

In the face of Major Goodslow's loud voice spread throughout the battalion headquarters, Captain Casey Ludes could only lower his head and answer. Disappointed sir.

The captain's reply elicited another roar, I don't want to hear your apology, all I need is grades, you idiot. Out of my four companies, you're the one with Captain Cassie Luthers who is the best for me. '. Now go back to your company. If there is such a casualty comparison, I will downgrade you to a soldier and flush my toilet every day. Get out now.

Captain Casey Rudes walked out of the battalion headquarters after saluting Major Goodslow, nicknamed 'Whisperer'. Major Goodslow took the captain's report for a while and passed it on to his superiors. After layers of reports, this report of the attack was placed in front of the desk of Chief of the General Staff Conrad along with the news that many Austro-Hungarian troops were attacked in Bosnia and Herzegovina.

The chief of the general staff saw so many attacks in a short period of time and knew that there were Serbian and Russian shadows behind him. He did not dare to neglect to report these situations to the Austro-Hungarian Emperor Franz Joseph.

I know about this. What is your military's response? the old old emperor asked the chief of staff.

Chief of the General Staff Conrad had already had a plan to deal with it. We plan to mobilize a large army to sweep Bosnia and Herzegovina repeatedly. Serbia is not afraid of us. But we must think about Russia standing behind it. Russia has not recovered yet, but it is still difficult for us in Austria-Hungary to deal with it.

The old emperor understands that the military is more afraid of Russia now, and there is no way to do this. Austria-Hungary has not taken advantage of it in the previous contests. I can also understand the thought of asking for help from our ally Germany. Who made Germany now have the title of the world's most powerful army?

It's better for you to suppress it first, you can't always ask for German assistance. The old emperor still wanted to solve it himself first.

With the order of the Austro-Hungarian Emperor Franz Joseph, large numbers of troops marched into Bosnia and Herzegovina, and fierce fighting began with Serbian and Russian-sponsored guerrillas.
