"My ministers, the Austrian Republic has broken out, and the speed of the revolution spreading beyond the expectations of the Eren government. Except for the cities where the Presidential Guard is stationed, all other cities have been occupied by the revolutionary parties.

These revolutionary unrest parties signed an armistice agreement with the Kingdom of Prussia and the Russian Empire at the first time and joined the fourth anti-French alliance!"

Li Wei asked the secretary to submit the report to the cabinet ministers for browsing and spoke.

"Your Majesty, according to Irion's report, the Austrian Republic has rebelled, except for his loyal government and the Presidential Guard, and the situation has deteriorated to an irreversible level. Should we withdraw our support for Irion and concentrate our strength?

After this revolutionary rebellion, the Austrian Republic will inevitably be severely damaged and will not pose much threat to us.

Aren's own ruling ability is obviously lacking, and he is more suitable for engaging in underground revolutionary activities. Perhaps we can let him lead people to secretly sneak into Berlin to launch a revolutionary rebellion. The presidential guards are all elites of the empire and cannot continue to be consumed by the Aren's government."

The Army Secretary proposed to Li Wei.

"That's right, in just over a month, the Presidential Guard has lost more than 22,000 people due to the Fourth Anti-French War and the consumption of this revolution. It's time to withdraw the Presidential Guard."

Li Wei thought for a while and nodded and responded: "Then let's arrange it like this, don't consume it in the Austrian Republic anymore. Since the Austrian Republic does not welcome a French president, there is no need for Austria to exist.

There was a shadow of the Habsburg dynasty in this riot. I issued a wanted order for the Habsburg family. The fall of the Iranian government does not mean that the Habsburg family can be restored!”

At the order of the Livi government in Vienna, the Irion government immediately took the Presidential Guard to the controlled area of ​​the French Defence Force. The Presidential Guard was soon disbanded and merged into the French Defence Force, and temporarily replenished the Eastern Army of Carl.

Aren, on the other hand, took a few confidants to the Kingdom of Prussia to take over the Lindenwan Brotherhood there.

However, after being disturbed by the Aren's government, the Lindenwan Brotherhood in Austria completely lost public opinion and there was no need to maintain it.

After the Eren government evacuated and disappeared, the Austrian Republic fell into chaos as expected by the Levi regime.

The cities and regions that were independent through violent revolution had different views on the restoration of the Habsburg dynasty, while the Prussian Kingdom and the Russian Empire, which were busy with war, had no energy to support the restoration of the Habsburg dynasty.

Among them, the Russian Empire was even more greedy and took the opportunity to cut several provinces from the Austrian Republic!

The Prussian Kingdom and the Russian Empire were frivolous in their attitude towards the restoration of the Habsburg family, which was naturally because the Habsburg family did not return the king as expected after the collapse of the Iranian government. Except for a few cities controlled by the royalist forces, most cities in the former Austrian Republic did not support the restoration of the Habsburg family.

The reason here is very simple.

Although the Lindenwan Brotherhood has become famous because of the reason why Irion was in power and treason, the French Revolutionary ideas promoted by the Lindenwan Brotherhood have already taken root in Austria.

In addition, the fall of the Iranian government was not planned by the royalists who supported the Habsburg family. The Habsburg family did not have that much power. It was mainly because the Austrian army suffered too many casualties on the front line. The Austrian Republic alone resisted the joint attack of the Kingdom of Prussia and the Russian Empire, and bought valuable time for the French to take over the Balkans.

This behavior greatly hurts the national sentiment of the Austrian people.

Nationalism is such a double-edged sword. Arain can rely on nationalism to gain power, and nationalism will naturally destroy the treacherous Arain government.

The collapse of the Iranian government not only did not put Austrian revolutionary ideas into a low tide, but instead entered a new field!

The Austrian Liberal Party once again stands on the stage of history.

The Austrian Liberal Party is the mortal enemy of the Habsburg family, so they naturally cannot support the restoration of the Habsburg family, otherwise the backbone of the Austrian Liberal Party will be wanted!

So, just as unexpectedly, after the disappearance of the Iranian government, the Austrian Republic fell into a state of division and was divided by the Royalist Party and the Austrian Liberal Party. The public support rate of the Austrian Liberal Party was much higher than that of the Royalist Party, but there was no unified leader within the Austrian Liberal Party.

After all, the current Austrian Liberal Party is a temporary recovery party, not the originally closely organized Liberal Party.

Faced with the chaotic situation in the Austrian Republic, the Kingdom of Prussia and the Russian Empire sent troops to force the occupation without any politeness, and the regular Austrian troops naturally fell apart. Those independent and successful Austrian cities had no resistance to the anti-French allies.

At this time, the French Defence Force also moved. After the original Austrian Presidential Guard turned into the French Defence Force, it once again entered the territory of the Austrian Republic and began to encroach on a large scale.

These troops who had changed into military uniforms fought against independent Austrian cities, and even many revolutionary independent cities directly opened the city to surrender when facing the French army.

When facing the rule of the Iranian government, the people in these cities had a strong sense of revolution, and when facing foreign invaders, they were extra weak...

After all, the fundamental reason for the revolution in the Austrian Republic is mainly to fight against war, which is because of fear of death!

In this way, the Austrian Republic, which had just been independence, was quickly divided up by the Kingdom of Prussia, the Russian Empire and the French Empire in a dramatic situation. The cities controlled by the Habsburgs failed to hold on for even a day under the attack of the French Defense Forces...

At this point, the Holy Alliance officially disintegrated. At least in the propaganda of the anti-French alliance, the Holy Alliance no longer exists.

Because there is no sovereign state in the Holy Alliance except for the sovereign state of the French Empire, the vassals of the French Empire are obviously not recognized internationally.

However, the Levi government still held high the banner of the Holy Alliance, brought all the vassal states into the form, and let the Vatican Pius VII come out to stand on the stage in person.

This is actually building momentum in political and public opinion, making the expansion war of the French Empire look more just.

The title of justice is still useful.

After the collapse of the Austrian Republic, Karl had to draw his main force back from the Balkans to fight against the Prussian coalition.

With the comprehensive mobilization of the Kingdom of Prussia and the Russian Empire, coupled with the army of those small countries, the anti-French allies have gathered more than one million troops in Central and Europe. No matter how the quality of these million troops is, at least they can get a musket.

In contrast, the Holy Allied Army on the French Empire side had only more than 200,000 troops in the system's brainwashed army.

Even if the army of the vassal state is added, it will only be 300,000 to 400,000.

However, the combat effectiveness of the vassal states has always been weak. The most important thing is that the vassal states' army fought for some reason. They were not interested in the invading war that was bleeding and sweating for the Li Wei government. It was easy for them to surrender in an established manner to go to the front line to fight the anti-French allies.

Therefore, the army of the vassal state is basically useless on the front battlefield, and is mainly used to make up the numbers.

This shows how much pressure the Li Wei government is facing.

Although the fourth anti-French alliance has only five times the strength of the French Defense Forces in the Central and European battlefield, it is obviously not the same as the same as the one million versus the five times of the two thousand versus the five times of the ten thousand versus the five times of the two thousand. The extra army of hundreds of thousands is easy to undergo quantitative change and qualitative change!

At least the front line facing Carl is full of loopholes. The enemy's troops are too many, and they can be spread out and attacked from different directions. As long as Carl hits the troops, other directions will be quickly broken through by the anti-French Allied Forces, thus conducting large-scale roundabout encirclement.

Cutting off the French Defence Force's retreat is a trivial matter. If it breaks into France or Vienna, threatens Levi's life and safety, it is a great event!

So now Carl does not have enough troops to launch fortifications, so he can only use strict defenses to block all entrances, and hold mobile troops in his hand to deploy on the second line to prevent the anti-French Allied Forces from making key breakthroughs.

Of course, it is precisely because of Carl's defensive posture that the anti-French Allies have never launched a large-scale attack.

Once the anti-French Allied Forces launch an attack, they must gather their troops. The French Defense Forces on the opposite side will naturally gather their troops. At that time, a decisive battle between the two sides will break out.

Even if the anti-French Allied Army has an absolute advantage in military strength, they do not want to engage in the main force decisive battle so quickly. After all, the previous series of failures in the anti-French war were created in the main force battles one after another.

What's more, there are now a large number of new recruits in the Allied Army, and the anti-French allies also need time to train them.

As for the French Defence Force, it is still digesting the Balkans at this time, and of course it also hopes to delay time as much as possible.

At this time, Li Wei was reviewing the plan just submitted by the Cabinet government on how to manage the Balkans and inspire the Balkans to serve the empire.

"Your Majesty, our people have contacted representatives of Balkan tribes such as the Serbian nation, Bulgarian nation, Romanian nation, Albanian nation, Croatian nation, Bosnian nation, Slovenian nation, Macedonian nation, Montenegro nation, etc.

Among them, the Romanians have agreed to accept our proposal that the Principality of Transylvania will be incorporated into the newly established Kingdom of Romania, and His Majesty will wear the crown of the Kingdom of Romania.

The Romanian representatives were willing to offer their loyalty in exchange for His Majesty's blessing.

Among the other tribes, because many of them were attracted by the Greek army, they formed completely different factions. Some supported us and were willing to live in the vassal states established by the empire and be loyal to His Majesty, while the other part was invaded by the revolutionary ideas promoted by the Greeks.

They seek true independence and want to establish a free and equal sovereign state."

"What the cabinet means is that only three kingdoms are established in the Balkans?"

“Yes, your Majesty.

We don’t need to establish countries for those small people. Although doing so can make the situation in the Balkans more complicated, it will also increase the difficulty of our management.

To support the founding of the three large ethnic groups, Romanians, Serbs and Bulgarians, and to include those small countries in the rule of these three countries, we can use these three ethnic groups to exploit other ethnic groups and intensify the hatred between these three ethnic groups and other ethnic minorities in the Balkans.

In this way, we can establish a "balanced" system among these three vassal states.

When the main energy of the Romanians, Serbs and Bulgarians is in the fight against other ethnic minorities, they will naturally not be able to resist His Majesty's rule, and the revolutionary outbreak of the Austrian Republic will not appear again!

At the same time, these three large populations in the Balkans can also provide us with local minions for public security warfare.

There are too many mountains in the Balkans, and the empire cannot station a large number of troops in the Balkans to waste the power of the empire's expansion. Therefore, the minion army established by these three major population races can help the empire to lift the military gap in public security wars."

After hearing this, Li Wei nodded slightly and praised: "A good proposal.

I like to use barbarians to control barbarians.

How is the battle situation in the Balkans now going?”

"Please rest assured, Your Majesty.

The Greek Republic was very arrogant. In fact, their army was not much different from the traditional European monarchy and feudal army. They were about to collapse when they confronted the empire's army.

As for the national warlords raised by the Greeks, after learning that we were willing to accept them to establish their own country, the warlords with Romanians, Serbs and Bulgarians as the main body had all been devoted to the sacred alliance.

They can deal with the remaining small clan warlords.

The founding process of the Kingdom of Romania, Serbia, and Bulgaria has almost ended, and the capital has been selected. It will not take long for the troops of these three countries to join the sect of the sacred alliance.

And Your Majesty will become the legitimate king of these three kingdoms!

Under the general trend of the empire, most of the Greek troops had been defeated and retreated to the Peloponnese Peninsula, and only some Greek troops were active in the mountains of the Balkans in the form of guerrillas.

Among them, the Macedonians were the most stubborn. They seemed to have formed a solid offensive and defensive alliance with Greece. The Macedonians were different from other national armies. They were no longer warlords and had established the Macedonian Republic!
Chapter completed!
