The Austrians faced an unsolvable deadlock. If they helped the Serbs, the Croats would naturally refuse to do it, but if they did not give the Serbs an explanation, the Russians would be furious.

Anyway, there is always one end that he can't take care of, and he can't blame anyone on the two sides. Are you talking about one head and two big ones?

Anyway, Schwarzenberg's hair fell out in handfuls. He couldn't figure out why it was so difficult to be the Prime Minister. People kept making trouble for him. No matter what he did, he didn't go well. Sometimes he felt that he was A small mosquito on a spider web, the more it struggles, the more immobile it becomes.

Schwarzenberg was exhausting his thoughts, but Li Xiao and Duke Alexander were waiting to see the joke.

"Do you think the Austrians can solve this trouble?" asked Duke Alexander.

Li Xiao replied without hesitation: "It depends on how to define the solution. It is impossible to solve it completely, but they still have the ability to fool things into a big one."

Duke Alexander nodded, because he thought so too. Schwarzenberg has the ability to not offend both sides, and to fool things into small ones, otherwise he would not be prime minister.

The easiest way is to save money and avoid disasters. The Austrians simply bleed a lot and use money to settle one of Serbia or Croatia. As long as one of them takes the money and makes concessions, the matter will naturally disappear.

It's just that Schwarzenberg's saddest thing is that his opponent is not Croatia or Serbia, but him and Li Xiao. At their level, how could they not think of this easiest way to break the game, so they have already prepared their backs and waited for Schwarzenberg.

If nothing else, Schwarzenberg would have gone to Pantridge, paid the poor guy a lot of money to shut up, and then reported that the problem had been perfectly solved, and finally muddied the matter.

But Duke Alexander and Li Xiao had already prepared for it. If Schwarzenberg really did this, they would be very happy. Because the case of Pantridge is not an isolated case or an isolated case, there are countless such vague incidents in southern Hungary. As long as they spread the word about what happened to Pantridge, guess what?

A large number of Serbs who have suffered the same situation as Pantridge will be moved by the news, and will flock to Vienna to ask Schwarzenberg for an explanation. How much money does Schwarzenberg have to settle all these things?

As long as any one of them is dissatisfied, or simply because he has a lack of people's heart and wants to blackmail a sum of money without success,

Can Duke Alexander let him go?

So the point wasn't that Pantridge wasn't even a Serb, but rather a malicious Russian. Schwarzenberg's really smart way is to quickly bow his head and admit defeat, and honestly be slaughtered to let Duke Alexander rip him off, instead of spending time there reservedly.

Of course, even if Schwarzenberg honestly admit defeat this time, Duke Alexander and Li Xiao will not really let him go. The best way to weaken Austria is to make a fuss about ethnic issues.

Who makes no matter whether it is the current Austrian Empire, the previous Holy Roman Empire or the later Austro-Hungarian Empire, it is a big platter and hodgepodge! This country is inherently divided and has no shape. As long as there is less fire on the ethnic issue, this country will never have peace.

Look at Hungary now, look at the Croats and Serbs who are temporarily standing in the same trenches with Austria, they actually don’t buy much from Austria, and they don’t want to restore their freedom all the time.

Austria has nothing to do with the little friend who shares the same bed with different dreams. Duke Alexander and Li Xiao are just waiting for an opportunity.

So did Schwarzenberg fall into the pit this time? Unfortunately, he fell right in with his head down. After receiving Pantridge's withdrawal statement, he was a little proud. He felt that he had settled Duke Alexander's conspiracy without much effort, and then...

Then he was overwhelmed by new Serb stories in the newspapers and countless complaints.

"How come there are so many!" He asked the secretary angrily.

The little secretary replied aggrievedly: "Your Excellency, in fact, this is only a small part of it. It is said that there are countless such things in southern Hungary, and then the newspapers widely publicized your justice for Pantridge." deeds, so..."

Schwarzenberg was so angry that he almost smacked his own mouth. He shouldn't have been so complacent when he settled Pantridge, and he shouldn't have publicized his achievements in the newspaper. He was planning to disgust Duke Alexander. Who would have thought This is a cocoon!

Schwarzenberg pressed his temples hard, wishing to crush his head, he felt that he was an out-and-out idiot, because only an idiot would do such a stupid thing.

However, Schwarzenberg had a headache a little early, and when he was in a state of desperation, Jelacic suddenly came to the door.

"Your Excellency Prime Minister, there are some questions I have to answer to you when I come here this time!"

As soon as Jeracic came up, he got straight to the point.

"According to the reflections I have received, in the south of Hungary, the legal rights and interests of a large number of Croatian fighters have been illegally violated and their personal properties have been ruthlessly plundered. I beg you to uphold justice for them as you did for the Serbs. ! Let our Croatian soldiers shed blood and tears!"

Schwarzenberg was dumbfounded, and his brain was really buzzing. Only then did he realize what a stupid thing he had done. The Serbs over there haven't completely settled down yet, and the Croats here have heard the news again. My mother, what a trick!

Not only did Jerachic come, but soon his finance minister also came to cry poorly. The finance minister bluntly warned him that the treasury is very tight now, and the military pay and logistical expenses for war can bankrupt them. It is impossible to come up with So much money to settle the Croats and Serbs!

In fact, even if the Chancellor of the Exchequer does not cry for poverty, Schwarzenberg will not foolishly spend money from the national treasury to fill this hole, because this hole cannot be filled. He has already discovered that the Croats and Serbs tend to take him for granted. Looking at the losses and compensation demands reported by these bastards, each and every one of them is like a lion!

"I see!"

Schwarzenberg propped his forehead with his hand weakly, and sighed, "I'll discuss it with the Russian guy, don't bother with this matter..."
