Bab 253: Shock and Awe Part III

Albanian guerillas were smoking a cigarette while gazing upon the lands just east of them. These were Serbian lands, a nation that had come under occupation by the Austro-Hungarian Empire and was in the process of being fully annexed. 

They had yet to hear of the Kaiser's declaration. How could they? These were a few men near the border with some old rifles. Radios, telegraphs? Modern communications equipment? They hadn't the slightest idea what those were, or how to use them. 

Instead, they joked about the violence that had begun in the Balkans, violence which they were at least partially to blame for its escalation. These men had no idea that the German invasion had already begun.
