I weave my destiny in parallel time and space

The city's name, Sarajevo, was the capital and economic center of Bosnia-Herzegovina, occupied by the Austro-Hungarian Empire.

Although the emergence of the core technology of mechas delayed the war that should have started, the contradiction did not disappear because of this, it was just delayed.

After the world entered the nineteenth century, the world entered the colonial era. At the beginning, what Arthur brought to Europe was only the republic, and the aristocracy was eliminated, but capitalism was not, or could not be eliminated at that time.

The highest stage of the development of capitalism must also be imperialism.

The old imperialist countries carved up most of the divisible colonies in the world.

But the emerging imperialist countries are obviously unwilling.

The economic development of capitalist countries is seriously uneven, and Europe's emerging powers are beginning to challenge the existing hegemony in order to compete for more territory.

The competition between the emerging empire and the remaining established powers became the main conflict, especially the German Empire led by Wilhelm II.

It has the support of Galant, and it is also the first country to obtain Tesla's mecha core technology, so it has developed very fast in these years.

In the late 19s, in order to compete for world hegemony, Germany pursued the Eastward Policy and extended its influence into the Near East. It tried to build a railway to connect it with the European Railway and form a direct route from Hamburg and Berlin via Constantinople and Baghdad. The Great Railway of the Persian Gulf.

This railway not only allowed German forces to control Turkey; it also seriously threatened the Caucasus, Persia and other regions.

The British Empire in this era was not as powerful as it was in the past. The British Isles was the homeland of the Celts, and the Brittanians had always been very concerned about this land.

When Arthur defeated West France, he took control of the British Isles, which continues to this day.

For these hundred years, the British Empire was Britannia's bridgehead and agent in Europe.

Of course, it itself maintains a certain degree of autonomy.

And they also relied on the support of Britannia to have colonies in North and South Africa, and even took advantage of the disintegration of Beichen to successfully set foot in West Asia and India.

The power of fate is sometimes so wonderful.

The German plan to build the Baghdad Railway directly violated British interests in West Asia, North Africa, and British India, and also violated the interests of Britannia.

Germany's aggressive plans in Africa and its dumping policy in South America also sharply contradicted it. Germany is actively strengthening its navy in an attempt to compete with these established maritime powers for maritime hegemony.

The contradiction between Germany and France also prompted France to move closer to Britain and France.

France attempted to regain Alsace and Lorraine from Germany and actively prepared for a "revenge" war.

In order to prepare for war, the European powers frantically expanded their armies and prepared for war. Since 1883, Germany has passed new military bills every year to increase its military budget.

By 1910, Germany had 76 active troops armed with new equipment. There are even a large number of mecha troops.

The British army, including several subordinate colonies, increased to 41.

法国于1911年通过新的军事法案，将两年兵役制改为三年，役龄从21岁到45岁改为从20岁到48岁，使军队增加到77万。

Tsarist Russia already had an army of 130 million soldiers on the eve of the war. The great powers also actively expanded their navies, and the naval competition between Britain and Germany was the most intense.

In 1912, Britain and Germany held disarmament negotiations. Britain insisted that the ratio of the two navies should be 2:1, while Germany demanded that the ratio be set at 16:10. The negotiations finally broke down, and both sides increased military spending even more frantically.

On the eve of the war, the military budgets of Germany and Austria reached 140 billion marks, and the military budget of the Allied Powers also reached 47.66 billion marks.

The two major groups each held military meetings to discuss and formulate combat plans in an effort to preemptively strike. The German Chief of Staff once said: "We are ready. For us, the faster the war, the better."

The bourgeois propaganda agencies of various countries are also active in spreading chauvinist sentiments.

The bourgeois imperial scholars tried their best to defend the war, propagating that it could solve the problem of "overpopulation" and save the industrial and commercial crisis, and even claimed that war could have a "eugenic" effect on mankind.

The German cavalry general even openly shouted: "War is the father of all things... War is not only a biological law, but also a primary law, and therefore an indispensable factor for civilization.

Against this background, the Balkan Peninsula, where Serbia is located, has become the center of focus.

The Balkan Peninsula is located in southern Europe and borders the Mediterranean Sea. It has long been ruled by the Turks. Since the 19th century, with the decline of the Ottoman Empire, some countries in the Balkans have become independent one after another.

Since the southern Slavs are mainly inhabited here, they are of the same origin as the Russians, and Tsarist Russia is the main force in attacking and weakening Turkey. Therefore, the countries in the Balkan Peninsula have close ties with Tsarist Russia.

The Balkan Peninsula is located in the southeast of Europe, separated from Asia by only the Turkish Strait, and is at the junction of Asia and Europe. Because the Black Sea and the Mediterranean Sea lie across it, it has become a transportation artery and throat between Asia and Europe. And it is only separated from Africa by the Mediterranean Sea, so it is an important transportation point between Asia, Europe and Africa, so it is not surprising that it has become a battleground for the world's powers.

At the beginning of the 20th century, the Austro-Hungarian Empire began to step up its involvement in the Balkans, especially in an attempt to prevent Bosnia and Herzegovina from merging with Serbia. Bosnia and Herzegovina was still two provinces under Turkish rule at the time.

In 1908, Austria-Hungary took advantage of the Turkish revolution to annex Bosnia and Herzegovina, which aroused great anger among the Serbian people.

Serbia and Montenegro began to deploy armed forces, and Tsarist Russia prepared to support Serbia in fighting Austria-Hungary.

Austria-Hungary also mobilized troops to the border, and war was imminent. At this time, Germany came forward to support Austria-Hungary.

At the same time, Tsarist Russia was also negotiating a border agreement with Beichen in the Far East. Beichen insisted that they were the successors of the Yuan Dynasty and should inherit the land left by the Yuan Dynasty from ancient times, and asked for the Lena River as a boundary.

If it is really successful, plus Nanchen's land and islands, this civilization will be the largest civilization in human history, bordering the North Pole to the north and the Antarctic to the south, running through the entire earth and connecting the three oceans.

The announcement of mecha core technology is of greatest help to countries with complete industrial systems. In this era, when it comes to industrial systems, no country is more complete than Beichen.

The huge mecha army has become the basis for their outward expansion.

It really fulfilled that sentence: I sat up in shock when I was dying of illness, and the great powers turned out to be me.

Of course, Tsarist Russia would obviously not agree. They also insisted that they were the successors of the Great Mongol Empire. In order to avoid a two-front war, Tsarist Russia chose to negotiate with the Austro-Hungarian Empire.

That is to say, it recognized the fait accompli that Austria-Hungary had annexed Bosnia and Herzegovina and formed an alliance.

From the early 19th century, Tsarist Russia was eager to open up a passage south to the Mediterranean, and the Austro-Hungarian Empire attempted to expand southward to the Adriatic Sea.

Britain and France wanted to protect the transportation lifeline leading to the Indian Ocean and the Far East for trade with Beichen. Therefore, the Balkan Peninsula became an area fiercely contested by Russia, Austria, Britain and France. There have been many wars, so this place is also called a powder keg. .
