Lin Yuan looked at his watch and said with a smile: "The launch should start soon." After speaking, he turned on the radio and heard the announcer say: "Now the fueling of the launch vehicle is over, fifteen tons of liquid hydrogen and ten tons Liquid oxygen has been injected into the fuel tank of the rocket, and technicians are inspecting the rocket body before launch."

"Okay, now the commander-in-chief of the propulsion subsystem has issued a signal, the propellant has been checked correctly, the self-inspection of the control subsystem has been completed, no problems have been found, and the inspection of the rocket body has also ended... The commander-in-chief of the launch has issued an order. Minutes ready, let go of the stopper."

"The various systems are using the last 5 minutes to make the last preparations before the launch. The 30-second launch countdown... the ten-second launch countdown, ten, nine, eight... three, two, one, ignition!"

"The launch commander pressed the launch button, the engine inside the rocket body ignited, and the high-temperature and high-pressure gas pushed the rocket into the air... The rocket is now slowly becoming a small point in our eyes...the first-stage engine is separated... The second stage engine is separated...the arrow star is separated...the first satellite has entered the predetermined orbit...the second has entered the predetermined orbit...the third has entered the predetermined orbit..."

"The data sent back from each measurement and control station shows that the satellite is operating normally, and the launch commander announced that the satellite launch was successful!"

Afterwards, cheers came from the radio. Lin Yuan turned off the radio and said with a smile, "Okay, the satellite has been successfully launched. If there is nothing else, the two of you can go back."

Swat was not very technically savvy, his face didn't change much, but Herbert was different, his eyes were filled with surprise, he wanted to ask Lin Yuan a lot of questions, but Lin Yuan didn't have time to answer him.

Lin Yuan sent Swat and other members of the mission away, and began to deal with the affairs of Lithuania, Belarus, and Ukraine. Of these three regions, only Lithuania was more difficult because it demanded independence. Belarus and Ukraine did not have such matters. The existence of this country is all supported by Germany. If Germany's support is eliminated, the liberation of these two countries will be a matter of course.

Lin Yuan then ordered the 7th Division and the 39th Division to march towards Ukraine. At 4 am on April 8, the troops of the two divisions arrived at the Ukrainian border. The German 10rd Heavy Armored Division was stationed in Kiev, Ukraine. The army immediately reported to Marshal Schlieffen.

Marshal Schlieffen told William II the news again, and wanted William II to approve the plan to withdraw troops, but he did not expect William II to say with a smile: "We can wait until we withdraw."

Shilieffen was taken aback, and asked, "Why wait?"

William II said with a smile: "The special envoy of the Austro-Hungarian Empire has come, and he has brought a letter from the Emperor of the Austro-Hungarian Empire - Franz Joseph I."

Schlieffen hurriedly asked, "What did the emperor of the Austro-Hungarian Empire say?"

William II said with a smile: "The Austro-Hungarian Empire is preparing to send troops to Ukraine to help us resist the Chinese."

Schlieffen frowned, and said, "The Austro-Hungarian Empire has the energy to take care of us?"

Schlieffen said that "the Austro-Hungarian Empire can't take care of itself" is well-founded. The predecessor of the Austro-Hungarian Empire was the Austrian Empire. Austria was once one of the powerful countries in the European continent and played an important role in Europe's war against Napoleon in the early 19th century.

In the middle and late 19th century, the Austrian Empire began to decline. The failure of the Austrian-Prussian War in 1866 was a fatal blow to the empire, and the Austrian Empire plummeted.

The Austrian Empire is a multi-ethnic country, and it is not like China. Although China is also a multi-ethnic country, in China, the Han nationality accounts for 90.00% of the total population and is in a dominant position economically and culturally. In the Austro-Hungarian Empire, there are Among the eleven major ethnic groups, the most populous Germanic people account for only 20.00% of the total population, and the second-ranked Hungarians account for 20.00%.

After the decline of the Austrian Empire, the Hungarians began to demand independence. With the intervention of other European powers, the Austrian Empire finally compromised and allowed the King of Hungary to have its own legislative body. The Austrian Empire changed from an empire to a dual system. Hungarian Empire.

There are also Czechs, Slovaks, Serbs, etc. in the Austro-Hungarian Empire. They also demand greater autonomy. The national independence movement is surging, and there is a more difficult problem in the Austro-Hungarian Empire-religious issues.

Among the major European countries, Catholics in Britain and Germany are dominant, and Orthodox Christians in Russia are dominant. In the Austro-Hungarian Empire, Catholics, Orthodox Churches, Protestants, Judaism, and Islam all have believers. There have been fights, and there has been a lot of hatred accumulated throughout history.

There were also territorial disputes among the various nationalities in the Austro-Hungarian Empire, which were left over from history. In a certain place, both nationalities once occupied it, so they both competed for the territory. deeper.

In this way, ethnicity, religion, and territory are like three strange snakes, entwined tightly on the Austria-Hungary Empire, which is why Schlieffen said that the Austria-Hungary Empire simply cannot spare the energy to manage the situation in Ukraine.

William II smiled and said, "Let's not care about that much. Since the emperor of the Austro-Hungarian Empire wants to help, then let's let them help."

Schlieffen frowned and said, "But the national strength of the Austro-Hungarian Empire is not strong, so even if they make a move, it will still be difficult for us to fight against China."

William II laughed and said: "Our retreat plan is top secret, so the Austro-Hungarian Empire does not know that we are going to retreat. When their troops enter Ukraine, we will withdraw the troops and let the Austro-Hungarian Empire fight against China." Well, isn’t Lin Yuan advocating opposition to the imperial system and human integration? Let him integrate the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Eleven ethnic groups and five religions are fighting each other endlessly. This mess is enough to hold Lin Yuan back for ten years.”

Shilieffen nodded, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, although your move is somewhat sinister, it is still good for dealing with China."

William II smiled proudly: "I don't know what the emperor of the Austro-Hungarian Empire is planning, but since they came to our door, we can't refuse. Go and discuss the march with the special envoy of the Austro-Hungarian Empire." Schlieffen agreed Come down and go out.

Franz Joseph I was a diligent king. During his reign, he had to work twelve hours a day, and he also showed extraordinary abilities in the foreign exchanges of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. He was by no means a mediocre The king, who wants to help Germany, must have his own plans.
