s: 5000 words, please vote at the end of the month March 15, 1914, AD 2755, Hofburg Palace.
Franz Joseph I had been receiving treatment at the palace since his assassination at the thermal spa.
Crown Prince Archduke Ferdinand hurriedly summoned famous doctors at home and abroad.
Fortunately, transportation is now much more convenient than before.
Not only do countries have passenger airships, but China's "Passenger 1" Magpie passenger planes have been exported to various countries in large quantities.
Now traveling from the sky is much faster than using trains or horse-drawn carriages before.
Doctors All came very quickly.
A country has the power to move mountains, let alone a powerful country like the Austro-Hungarian Empire.
The emperor needed treatment, which naturally required people and medicine.
Under the careful treatment of famous doctors from all over the world, Joseph I finally saved his life, but he was old after all.
After such a blow, his vitality was severely damaged.
He is still alive now.
Inserting a tube to draw water.
Oh, this treatment method of intubating for oxygen and using a sling bottle, as well as some special medicines, are all provided by China.
Now, countries all over the world have to at least admit that China is the world's number one in medical and pharmaceutical achievements, so Chinese doctors and Chinese medicines are now very popular in the market.
"How is your uncle doing now?"
Archduke Franz Ferdinand asked the group of famous doctors from various countries in French.
The lingua franca of Europe now is French, not English as it was later.
In this era, in the upper class of Europe, if you don't know French, you will be regarded as a country bumpkin.
The famous doctors looked at each other, and finally looked at the Chinese doctor who was doing the surgery.
This doctor is young, in his twenties, that's all.
The key is that he is a beautiful female doctor.
Standing among a group of gray-haired old men, this oriental beauty looked extremely dazzling.
Of course, doctors are not a profession based on appearance, but these famous doctors dare not underestimate her, because she is the best surgeon in China and the "inventor" of modern blood transfusion methods.
She has published many high-level articles in major medical journals.
Quality paper.
The most important thing is that she also has experience in treating assassinated heads of state.
She was the one who saved the life of Yuan Shikai, the head of China's Beiyang government, after he was assassinated a few years ago.
Moreover, she is the only one who is most familiar with China’s special medical equipment, so she was also the one to perform this rescue operation.
Well, that's right, she is Jin Lin, the current vice president of China Medical University.
She was originally doing exchange work at the Hamburg Medical College.
After the Emperor Austria was assassinated, the Chinese recommended him to diagnose and treat the Emperor.
Jin Lin could only understand French but not speak it well, so she answered in German: "Your Majesty the Grand Duke, His Majesty Emperor Joseph is out of danger, but because of his age, it is hard to say to what extent he can recover. " Archduke Ferdinand nodded and looked at a famous doctor from the Austro-Hungarian Empire.
The famous Austro-Hungarian doctor also confirmed: "His Majesty is in stable condition and his life is no longer in danger.
Just as Dr.
Jin Lin said, His Majesty is getting older now.
How he can recover depends on God's will."
"Okay, I understand.
Thank you very much for your diagnosis and treatment.
My wife Sophia will make arrangements for you, so I'll excuse you now."
Archduke Ferdinand left his wife to greet the doctors, and he hurried into the ward.
The next day, Joseph I, who had regained consciousness, issued an edict of succession, announcing that he would abdicate immediately and that the crown prince, Archduke Franz Ferdinand, would take over the throne of the Austro-Hungarian Empire and be known as Ferdinand II.
Archduke Ferdinand was the son of Archduke Carl Ludwig, brother of Emperor Franz Joseph I.
He became the heir to the throne after Emperor Joseph I's only son, Crown Prince Rudolf, committed suicide due to mental illness in 1889.
In the history of the original time and space, he was assassinated and the throne was inherited by his nephew.

However, he had good luck in this plane and finally achieved success.
The three assassins who carried out the assassination were all caught on the spot.
They were all Serbians and young men in their twenties.
One of them was an international student at the University of Vienna.
During the interrogation, the assassins all frankly admitted their actions and claimed that the assassination was punishment for Austria-Hungary's brutal interference in Serbia.
According to their confessions, their target was Archduke Ferdinand, because Ferdinand had always advocated expanding the Austro-Hungarian Empire's dual empire consisting of Austria and Hungary into a three-element empire consisting of Austria, Hungary and Yugoslavia through the annexation of the Kingdom of Serbia. empire.
This is what makes Serbian people grit their teeth the most.
The foreign student found out that Ferdinand would go to a hot spring sanatorium, but Ferdinand did not go there at that time.
Because Germany suddenly made a proposal to jointly develop a 390mm naval gun a few days ago, Ferdinand, a die-hard naval fan, immediately went to Germany for a visit.
The assassins did not find Ferdinand after sneaking into the spa.
Franz Joseph I happened to be recovering there at the time, so he was unlucky to be the second target of the assassins and blocked his nephew's bullets.
After seeing the confession, Ferdinand II's face turned green.
Before he ascended the throne, he sentenced the assassins to hanging.
At the same time, he took out a list and asked Serbia to hand over the "Black Hand" according to the list.
The terrorist organization put Austria-Hungary on trial because the three assassins all confessed to being members of the "Black Hand".
At the same time, there was a mysterious organization called the "Decepticons", which provided a large amount of relevant information to the Austro-Hungarian Empire.
The Austro-Hungarian Empire bluntly pointed out that the terrorist organization "Black Hand" is a subordinate agency of the Serbian army's intelligence department.
Their leader is Serbian Army Colonel Dragutin Dimitrievich.
This guy is also a member of the Serbian Army.
Head of Intelligence.
In other words, this assassination was an act of the Serbian government.
Serbia naturally refused to do it.
They claimed that this was a shameless slander and that the assassination was just the personal behavior of those few people and was definitely not ordered by the Serbian government.
Ferdinand II originally wanted to kill Serbia, but now that the other party had all the clues in their hands, there was no reason not to take action.
As for whether the assassination was ordered by the Serbian government, it actually didn't matter.
All Ferdinand needed was It’s a reason to take action.
What other excuse is there than regicide?
As a result, the Austro-Hungarian Empire immediately mobilized a large number of troops to the border, and at the same time announced domestic mobilization and entered a state of war readiness.
Germany also reiterated that it would resolutely safeguard the German-Austrian Alliance.
After receiving clear support from Germany, Ferdinand II issued an ultimatum to Serbia on March 31, requiring all conditions to be met within 72 hours.
Not only did he require the surrender of all members of the "Black Hand", but also There were conditions such as having the King of Serbia come to Vienna in person to apologize, and ceding territory and paying compensation.
For the arrogant Serbia, these conditions are too excessive, and naturally they will not agree.
The Russian Empire declared its support for Serbia and warned Austria-Hungary not to use force against Serbia.
Therefore, on April 5, the Austro-Hungarian Empire declared war on Serbia, and the Austro-Hungarian army crossed the Austria-Serbia border on the same day.
On April 7, Russia began general mobilization and sent troops to assist Serbia.
On April 9, Germany declared war on Russia and issued an ultimatum to France, requiring it to remain neutral in the event of a war between Germany and Russia.
France refused and entered into general mobilization.
On April 11, Germany declared war on France.
On the same day, the German army sent troops to the neutral country of Luxembourg and obtained Luxembourg's railway network.
On April 12, Germany, in accordance with the Schlieffen Plan, invaded Belgium, which had declared permanent neutrality when the country was founded.
On the same day, considering the importance of Belgium to its homeland security, and in order to ensure Belgium's neutrality and maintain the Treaty of London signed in 1839, Britain declared war on Germany.
On April 13, Austria-Hungary declared war on Russia and Serbia declared war on Germany.
On April 14, Britain and France declared war on Austria-Hungary.
At this point, the First World War broke out.
Although Italy is a member of the Allied Powers, this wallflower has no intention of jumping into the water now.

When the other two countries, Germany and Austria, have joined the war, he is still watching the situation and actually declares neutrality.
After the presidents of China and the United States contacted each other using dedicated hotlines and telegraphs, on April 17, President Thomas Wilson of the United States declared neutrality.
On April 18, President Wen Desi of China declared neutrality.
After that, other countries also declared neutrality and prepared to watch the excitement.
Japan, which had just been beaten half to death, was very enthusiastic.
On April 20, they announced that they would join the Allied Powers and declare war on Germany and Austria.
Well, there is no way.
Japan is already crazy poor now.
What if we don’t call the police on Niu Niu’s thighs?
April 25, 1914, 2755 AD, Wuhan.
While Europe is already at war, the Chinese government is busy moving, or to be precise, moving its capital.
Because the legal capital of China is Hanjing, located in the middle of the Nanxiang Plain, Wuhan is now only a temporary capital.
After more than four years of overtime construction, the new city of Hanking was completed at the end of March.
Many government departments are already moving or preparing to move.
At the latest before the National Day this year, most government departments will move to Hanking.
At this time, a high-level meeting on World War I was being held at the Presidential Palace in Wuhan.
This may also be the last meeting held in the name of the Presidential Palace in this place.
After the meeting, Wen Desi will also move to the new presidential palace in Hanking.
"Hahaha, the European guys finally started fighting," Wen Desi said with a smile, without any sign of compassion.
Not only him, but all the participants looked gloating and watching from a distance.
Wen Desi shook the information in his hand and said: "Serbia is about to be unable to withstand it.
It's really surprising.
I originally thought they could withstand it."
According to intelligence, after Austria-Hungary declared war, it dispatched 30 large airships and more than 100 bombers, taking off from Hungary and crossing the Danube River to bomb Belgrade indiscriminately.
At this time, the territory of Serbia was much smaller than that of Serbia in the original time and space.
The capital, Belgrade, was on the border, separated from Hungary by the Danube River.
Austria-Hungary seemed to have learned all about China's methods.
While dispatching its air force, they also set up hundreds of large-caliber artillery by the river and fired hard at Serbia on the other side of the river.
Many of these artillery were the result of joint development with China back then.
Large-caliber heavy artillery of 210 mm, 240 mm, 280 mm, 310 mm and even 360 mm poured out shells as if they were free.
Most importantly, Austria-Hungary also made extensive use of napalm, a new, cheap and efficient weapon.
Because Belgrade is a fortress city and an important border fortress of the Ottoman Empire at that time.
The defense system is very complete and has a large number of fortifications.
If we attack directly, it will be impossible to defeat it without tens of thousands of people filling in.
Ferdinand II was not a fool, and of course it was impossible to do this, so his method was to burn and explode.
After all, these fortifications and fortresses were the product of many years ago.
They were fine for traditional ground warfare, but they were incompetent in the face of today's various new weapons.
At that time, there were no aerial bombings, large-caliber heavy artillery, and no napalm. bomb.
After several days of continuous and indiscriminate bombing, Belgrade has been burned to ashes.
Most of the fortifications have been destroyed.
The entire city is devastated and dead bodies are everywhere.
The defenders have either died from shelling and air strikes or have withdrawn.
Their capital was lost, and in the end almost no one remained.
On April 18, the Hungarian Army of the Austro-Hungarian Empire easily crossed the Danube and captured Belgrade as easily as an armed march.
Serbia at this time was very small, even smaller than at the same time in the original time and space, because most of Macedonia was still in the hands of the Ottomans, and Albaria, which had been conquered with so much hard work, was forced to become independent by the great powers.

Now that the Belgrade area has fallen, there is not much room for maneuver.
The Prime Minister of Serbia begged his grandfather and grandma everywhere, begging the Allies to come to the rescue quickly, otherwise Serbia would not exist.
But even though Maozi declared war this time, he played a trick of standing still on the Russian-Austrian border on the grounds that the army was not ready yet.
Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Finance Xiao Tu laughed and said: "Hahaha, Serbia was tricked by Maozi this time.
After Nicholas II declared war, he actually stood still at the border.
Instead, he asked them to resist for a month and a half before Russia could send troops."
"It's questionable whether Serbia can resist for two weeks in one and a half months.
Maozi, this is too deceptive."
Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Industry Ban Chuanzhi curled his lips.
Minister of Civil Affairs Yuwen Baochun spread his hands and said: "There is no way, Maozi's army is not ready yet.
It is impossible to trap yourself for a Serbia."
"It's not that simple.
Russia did this on purpose.
The failure to gather enough troops was only one of the reasons why they stood still."
Foreign Minister Kafur shook his head and said: "There is another important reason, which is that they deliberately wanted Serbia to A lot of bloodshed, it’s best if Austria-Hungary kills it.”
"Why is this?"
asked Education Minister Xu Xilin.
Kafur explained: "It's very simple.
For Russia, what they want is a Slavic world that is completely under their control.
They never want a Yugoslavia with Serbia as its core on the Balkan Peninsula, and the Serbs What I have been obsessed with over the years is the establishment of a Greater Yugoslavia that includes most of the Balkan Peninsula.
There is a fundamental conflict between the two.
It would be strange if Russia did not take the opportunity to severely regulate Serbia. " Chief of General Staff Xinjie said: "Yes, in order for Russia to take over the Balkan Peninsula and rule the Slavic world, the best way is to let the Austro-Hungarian Empire deal with Serbia severely.
It is best to destroy them and then destroy their Kill more people and drain all the blood of Serbia.
After defeating the Allies, Russia can firmly hold the entire Yugoslavia in its hands.
This has been Russia's long-cherished wish.
Of course, they will not immediately aid Serbia."
It is for this reason that poor Serbia was screwed by the Allies.
As for Britain and France, they are now on guard against the Germans and have no time to take care of Serbia.
Moreover, according to the internal divisions of the Allied Powers, Serbia is the sphere of influence of the Bear, and the Bear does not care.
Why should we care where there are so many people these days?
Lei Feng Yuan Shikai looked at the map and said: "However, once Serbia is destroyed, Austria-Hungary will be bordering the Ottomans, and Ottoman supplies can be continuously sent to the Allies through the Asia-Europe Railway.
This is not good news for the Allies."
Wen Desi smiled and said: "It doesn't matter.
For Russia, Germany's main attack direction is the west front, and the east front is just defense.
The headache is also for Britain and France.
They only need to defend their home bases.
When both sides fight, both sides will lose.
It’s not too late for them to start picking peaches.
Therefore, things like the alliance are all about intrigues and evil intentions.
These powers don’t hesitate to trick their teammates.
It would be best if they can also trick their teammates and opponents.”
Yuan Shikai shook his head with a complicated expression, and then asked: "Mr.
Wen, what should we do?"
"Of course it's to watch a show, and do some business on the way.
Once the war starts in Europe, business will be easy.

Now they can't even produce weapons with all their strength, so they can't take care of civilian supplies, so we took the opportunity to occupy their market."
Wen Desi showed a harmless smile.
After a pause, he asked Premier Zhang Lizheng: "By the way, have all our people in Europe withdrawn?"
"After the assassination of Joseph I, we notified all personnel in the Entente and Central Powers to evacuate.
At present, all important personnel have been evacuated, and some remaining personnel will be evacuated one after another.
Please be assured that the belligerent countries will not attack our evacuated personnel.
They will not Dare."
When Zhang Lizheng said the last sentence "They dare not", a proud smile appeared on his face.
Nonsense, of course they wouldn't dare.
It would be great fun to push a great power like China into the opponent's camp.
No one dares to bear such a result, and the great powers are not fools.
Instead of attacking Chinese evacuees, they will open the door to convenience.
"In addition, how is the Asia-Europe railway going now?
When will it be fully open to traffic?"
Wen Desi asked again.
Zhang Lizheng said: "At present, the European part and several sections from Ili to Tehran have been opened to traffic.
Now there is still Ankara to Istanbul.
The entire line will be opened to traffic probably by the end of this year."
"We need to hurry up and coordinate with the Ottomans.
If they don't have enough manpower, we will send people to build this road, which will be the Golden Road in the future," Wen Desi said
