Bab 475: Chapter 376: The Austro-Hungarian Empire Declares War

Prime Minister Patrick of Serbia understood that the current situation was beyond his control. The path Serbia would ultimately take depended on the attitudes of the Austro-Hungarian Empire and Russia Nation.

As a result, Patrick hurriedly forwarded the 48-hour ultimatum issued by the Austro-Hungarian Empire to Russia, asking for the stance of Tsar Nicholas II and the Russian Government.

As a bulwark against the expansion of the Austro-Hungarian Empire in the Balkan Region, Serbia was highly valued by the Russian Empire.

Upon learning of the harsh 48-hour ultimatum from the Austro-Hungarian Empire, Nicholas II was very angry, accusing them of completely ignoring Russia's special interests in Serbia and attempting to undermine Russia's position.

The Russian Minister of Foreign Affairs angrily said, "Russia cannot absolutely allow the Austro-Hungarian Empire to defeat Serbia and become the most dominant country in the Balkan Region."
