Struggle in Russia

Transylvania, suburb of Busteni.

Austrian soldier Captain Alfred and his friend Lieutenant Christopher yawned as they looked at the path at the end of the forest.

He has been active in the suburbs of Bushteni for nearly half a month. According to the request from the top, their mission is to create friction, eat away at the Russian defense line bit by bit, and finally try to squeeze the Russians away from Bushteni.

Both Alfred and Christopher were more willing to accept this task. The reason is very simple. After the last Hungarian revolution, the Austrian soldiers were holding a bad breath in their hearts.

They felt that they had been blackmailed by Russia, and that Russia, this so-called ally, was a bandit who took advantage of the situation and took away Wallachia and Austria's important strategic support points in the Balkans.

This time it was the Russians' turn to be unlucky, and they had the opportunity to retaliate against the Russians. Alfred felt as happy as having spent thirty years in the east of the river and thirty years in the west of the river.

He even felt that the orders from above were too conservative, so he might as well declare war on Russia, work with Britain and France to deal with the Russians, and bring Russia back to its original shape in one fell swoop!

"What are the Russians doing?"

Alfred yawned and asked the guard next to him.

"It's still the same as before, patrolling, and turning back after meeting our people."

Hearing this, Alfred sneered again, feeling more and more that Russia was nothing more than that. If the Hungarians hadn't made such a big fuss, how could these damn polar bears have been given the opportunity to take advantage?

"Go ahead and give me a severe beating if the Russians dare to make any move or even say one more nonsense, so that they know who Wallachia really belongs to!"

The reason why Alfred is so heroic is very simple, that is, in the past half month, the Russians have been very restrained in the face of their approaching provocations, and it can even be said that they have compromised.

This gave the Austrians the impression that the Russians did not dare to explode and did not dare to offend them. Naturally, they became more arrogant and domineering.

After issuing this domineering order, Alfred smiled and ordered the soldiers to start eating. After breakfast, he would slowly repair and adjust the Russians. However, when he had just eaten two bites, he was hunting in the forest last night. The killing swan heard a burst of rapid and violent gunshots and explosions.

"What's going on?" Alfred put down his plate and asked with an unhappy expression, "Didn't I tell you to try not to shoot?"

As he spoke, he continued to order impatiently: "Then tell the entire company to use the same caliber and say that the Russians fired first, and we were just fighting back in self-defense!"

After saying that, he picked up the dinner plate again and prepared to enjoy the swan meat. However, the messenger quickly ran back rolling and crawling on the ground.

"Sir, it's bad, the Russians are coming to kill!!!"

Alfred was confused, or his brain was short-circuited, because he couldn't figure out what it meant for the Russians to come and kill him?

Because he always believed that the Russians were cowardly and did not dare to offend Austria while going to war with Britain, France, and Turkey, so no matter what they did, the Russians could only endure it.

Alfred slapped the table hard and asked fiercely: "Tell me again, what's going on?"

"Russians, no, a large group of Russians are coming!" the orderly soldier replied with a sad face, "More than a dozen of us have been killed, and Second Lieutenant John has also been captured!"

"This has changed the world!" Alfred jumped up in a rage, and the great god shouted: "Gather urgently, gather everyone, I want to teach these damn Russians a profound lesson!"

The furious Captain Alfred took his good friend Lieutenant Christopher and the remaining men of the company to repair the nasty "Russian", but before he could complete the team, the Russian started murderous Rushing in front of them, there was a burst of gunfire. Captain Alfred and his company, who were not prepared at all, were beaten and fled. If Lieutenant Christopher hadn't pulled him in time to break through and escape, he would definitely have become a prisoner. Repaired by nasty Russian guy.

"Colonel, the frontline troops of our regiment were in emergency at the same time. They all claimed to have been attacked by the Russian army. Sir, have the Russians declared war on us?"

Colonel Ernest frowned because he had not received any news. Normally, a call would be made half a month in advance for such a major event as a declaration of war. At least the two countries would continue to communicate and negotiate first, and only make a choice when they could not reach an agreement. Flip the table.

But in the past half month, I have only heard that the Russian ambassador has been protesting, but I have not heard that there is any intention to declare war? As for undeclared war, it is almost impossible to exist in this era, especially among the European powers.

On the one hand, Ernest ordered the messengers to quickly report to their superiors and consult for information. On the other hand, he was also considering whether this was an accident.

After all, they have been constantly provoking this month, and they all say that the clay men are also very angry. What's more, polar bears have always been bad-tempered. It cannot be ruled out that some of their grassroots commanders were angered and drew their guns and discharged, triggering a chain reaction.

Anyway, Ernest knew that the higher-ups were more cautious about really going into full-scale war with Russia. They came to Wallachia to stir up trouble more to take advantage of the situation and get as much as they could, and they didn't really follow Russia's intention to go to war.

If his men went too far and triggered a full-scale armed conflict between the two sides... this possibility gave him a headache just thinking about it.

But Ernest was also a smart man and immediately ordered: "If the superiors ask, just say that the Russians fired the first shot, and we were just self-defense!"

What a self-defense! Because Alexey later also formally sent a note to the Austrian Ambassador to Wallachia, the content of which was: In view of your country’s constant cross-border friction, the Wallachian Defense Forces have to exercise the right of self-defense. From now on, everything will Austrian armed personnel crossing the border will become targets of the Wallachian Defense Forces... Wallachia is confident and determined to safeguard the integrity of its territorial sovereignty and will resolutely eliminate all invaders!

It is conceivable how surprised the Austrian ambassador was when he learned about this note, because there was no sign before, Wallachia, no! Everyone knows that the real ones are the Russians. Who knew that the Russians are so courageous and will fight whenever they want? Are you not worried at all about starting a war with us?

Although the Austrian ambassador was full of doubts, he did not lose his temper. On the one hand, he protested firmly, saying that this was Wallachia's despicable provocation to Austria, and Austria would resolutely fight back.

It's just that his counterattack is more of a rhetorical one. The first priority is to inform Vienna of this shocking news and see how the waltzing gentlemen over there will decide...
