My Italian: Chapter 593 Austria-Hungary declares war

So in the face of Serbia's proposal to revise the fifth and sixth articles, Vienna even refused. And the attitude is extremely tough, saying that there is no negotiation at all, and you can only choose to agree or not.

In the face of Austria-Hungary's tough attitude, Serbia also dealt with it. The time to reply within three days was delayed until 7 days after Serbia's delay.

For Serbia to adopt the delaying tactics so persistently, on the one hand, it is to buy time for itself. After all, Serbia is a weak country. Although it has Russia as a guarantee, it is obvious that Austria-Hungary is determined to clean up itself and not hurry to conduct military mobilization. What are you waiting for.

There is another reason, that is, waiting for Russia's assistance, a batch of arms capable of equipping more than 100,000 people is being urgently shipped from Odessa to Serbia. This is one of Russia's most powerful supports to Serbia.

On the other hand, Serbia also needs to delay Russia, because Russia has a vast territory and sparse population, so its mobilization preparation for war is slower than that of European countries. In addition, since we are preparing for war, some things need to be quickly transported back to China. For example, the deposit of more than 100 million rubles in German banks needs to be transferred to a safe place in advance.

This is the deposit for the settlement of trade finance between Germany and Russia. This large sum of money must be safely returned to the owner, so the Russian government also transferred the money to Paris and St. Petersburg as soon as possible.

In addition to Serbia's own efforts, Russia also gave help.

First of all, in addition to expressing a tough attitude, Russia also brought Britain and France over. To this end, British Foreign Secretary Edward Gray even proposed that Germany and Italy be involved in the crisis between Austria-Hungary and Serbia.

In the face of the British proposal, both Germany and Italy rejected the proposal on the grounds that it was an issue between Austria-Hungary and Serbia.

Because Germany and Italy are not stupid, they have seen the sinister intentions of the British. Therefore, they simply ignored any rhetoric of the British and rejected them directly.

Don't think that the British foreign secretary is well-intentioned, this proposal is just to amplify things, and involving more countries will only lead to endless wrangling. And this can also involve the energy and time of Germany and Italy. When it is really impossible to solve it, they will find out that the treaty camp is ready for war.

Therefore, in addition to refusing, Germany and Italy are also implying that Vienna will act faster.

So on September 27, inside the Austro-Hungarian embassy in Belgrade, the staff were making final preparations. The non-Austro-Hungarian staff of the embassy have been dismissed. Now these staff are burning confidential documents one after another, and the various properties of the embassy are also being sealed, which is a busy scene.

Looking at the busy embassy staff, Ambassador Jisir was in a good mood at this time, because he was about to leave the city that bored him after finishing his last job.

Yes, Gisl was very dissatisfied with Belgrade, the small city and hostile to his Austro-Hungarian ambassador. Although there are reasons behind the instigation of the Serbian government, this also caused Ghisl's dissatisfaction with the city.

"Next time I come back, as mayor of Belgrade, I will fight against the city, all those disgusting old residential areas must be demolished, and the city should be transformed in our eyes."

That's right, although he is still a diplomatic ambassador, Mr. Giesle is already planning for the next step. And he's not just thinking, he's doing it, he's already using his network to push himself in Vienna to be the first mayor of Belgrade in the Empire.

Don't feel like it's too early. It's not too early, if it wasn't for Jisle's many years of diplomatic experience in the city, coupled with the strength of its head, Foreign Minister Bertold, he wanted to transfer from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to the local area and become a city of an important city. Long, it is simply unimaginable.

So, how can this kind of thing not happen sooner?

After seeing that everyone was talking about how things were handled, Jisle called everyone to lecture.

"Now I'm going to the Prime Minister's Office to do the last thing, and then let everyone gather at the train station. The train at 3pm, we can go home tonight."

After instructing the embassy staff, Jisir got into the embassy vehicle and rushed to the Prime Minister's Office.

After arriving at the Prime Minister's Office, Jisir broke into the office of Prime Minister Pasic all the way.

Yep, it was a break-in. Because these smart-ass guards refused entry to Ghisle on the grounds that he didn't have an appointment. And Jisir, who had long been dissatisfied with the Serbian government, ignored these clever people and used his identity as a diplomat to force his way in.

"Prime Minister Pasic, I'm here to deliver a document to your Excellency. I didn't expect you to be so busy."

Prime Minister Pasic, who was secretly mocked by Jisir, was not angry, but asked modestly with a smile on his face. "This may be because the personnel below do not know the situation. By the way, Ambassador Jisir, the conditions given by your country are too harsh. After many discussions, we must also exclude the fifth and sixth items. I know if Ambassador Ghisle can report it to your government and modify the conditions a little bit."

"I'm sorry Prime Minister Pasic, this time I have other things to ask your Excellency."

Looking at the kind-hearted Prime Minister Pasic in front of him, UU read www.uukanshu. com complained in front of him like a grumpy woman, but Ambassador Ghisle had no intention of listening at all.

After speaking, he took out a document from his arms and handed it to the other party.

"This is our country's declaration of war. Since your country is not satisfied with the diplomatic note issued by our country, our country announced that your country and our country have entered a state of war. In addition, our diplomatic envoys will also be evacuated within three days as required. Now I'm in a hurry to take the train back to Vienna, so I'm sorry I'm sorry."

After Gisle read the declaration of war, he put it on the table of Prime Minister Pasic, and then left without looking back. He really wanted to leave by train.

As for Prime Minister Pasic, he sat blankly behind the table. Although he had been prepared for a long time, he still did not react the first time he was declared war by Austria-Hungary, not even when the Austrian-Hungarian ambassador left. Know.

It is too late to say anything now. It is the most important thing to quickly inform the military and St. Petersburg of the news of the declaration of war between Austria and Hungary.

Needless to say, all European countries will have sleepless nights tonight.
