The Northern Yugoslavian pocket is completely decimated.
The Austrian forces are left with 544,752 men
The Transylvanian forces are left with 485,725 men
The Southern Yugoslavian pocket faces heavy casualties and are left with only a little over 10,000 men left. After hearing of the decimation of the Northern pocket, they lay down their arms and surrender, lest they meet the same fate.
The Hungarian forces are left with 451,952 men.
And with that, the matter of Yugoslavia is settled.

Österreich täglich Brilliant news subjects! Today marks the end of the reclamation of Northern Slovenia. To ensure the safety of the empire, we will also maintain occupation of the rest of Yugoslavia. We can not risk another Serbian threat. As such, the Yugoslavian areas outside of Northern Slovenia will be placed under police supervision until further notice, as well as an 11 P.M curfew.
The war itself was a more costly affair than it should have been unfortunately. The unruly state put up a greater fight than expected. Our hearts go out to the fallen, however their deaths were not in vain. Nor will the spots they filled protecting our great empire go vacant. As luck would have it, the Yugoslavian forces had 600,000 men in reserve which they were unable to call up due to the swift pace of the war. These men will be trained in the ways of the Austro-Hungarian army, and will fall in rank in 2 pages.
It is with great regret that I must inform you, most of the casualties experienced by our army were under the control of Gerd von Rundstedt. Reports from the government say that the Field marshal has been demerited, and has been informed that another such failure will result in a demotion.
On a brighter note, Fedor von Bock proved to be a rising talent, and was the main cause of this operation's success. If it were not for his remarkable command over Army groups Julius and Kaufmann, this operation may have dragged on for a much longer period, and been stained with the blood of more of our young men. Due to his splendid performance, he has been made field marshal of armies Dora, Ida, Julius, and Kaufmann.
And so we march onward into our prosperous future. Soon, the empire shall be whole once more.
Ruhm für Österreich! Ruhm für Ungarn! Ruhm dem Imperium! |

Only for Kliment Jefremovitš Vorošilov , Eugene V. Debs Austria-Hungary's expansion is becoming worrisome. Their territory was rightfully reduced after the Great War in response to their aggression, and it seems that they wish to return to their glory days. Should we do anything about this? Only fpr Eugene V. Debs and Darth NihilusI've been generally inactive from the boards, and I'll respond to other messages tomorrow. Anyways, to me, it's a no brainer that we should declare war on them. My primary targets right now in Spain are getting through Extremadurra to the Republican frontlines, occupying western Andalusia, the Strait of Gibraltar and Morocco as well as Zaragoza, the factory at Bilbao and the Canary Islands. After that I can commit to the war woth most of my army. Until then I'd opt to not declare war, but I promise I will if you can take Königsberg while I prepare. |

It makes sense for Germany/Austria, and even Hungary due to the historical connection, but Yugoslavia? If anything, partisans would be an ongoing drain on the occupying forces. |

Only for Kliment Jefremovitš Vorošilov, I see what you meant in your previous message. Italy is indeed greatly concerned by the behavior of our neighbors to the east and agrees that this aggression needs to be stopped. Do we have a plan of action?
By the way, have my factories been producing all this time and has there been any recruiting? |

Only for Warlord247 , Greetings, neighbor.
We remember your friendly words and offers of assistance against the French, and wish to remain on amicable terms. However, Italy is greatly concerned by the actions and public statements of Austria. Austria's aggressive seizure of territory is encroaching into what Italy regards as its own sphere of influence. Worse, the irredentist Austrian rhetoric causes some concern that Austria has designs on Italian territory. This conduct must stop. This here Adriatic ain't big enough for both of us. |

We understand your concern about the expansion of Austro-Hungarian influence and territory, especially considering you own part of land which belongs to the empire. I have no wish for aggressions between our 2 countries, and I believe I have a compromise which could benefit the both of us.
I am willing to cede a large portion of the conquered Yugoslavian lands to you, in exchange for control of the land the rightfully belongs to the empire. I hope you will consider the offer.
Sincerely,
Sir Kent, King of Austria-Hungary |

Yeah, if there weren't so few players and Austria-Hungary being so alone, I'd call it clearly illegal and borderline godmodding, but the situation isn't favourable, so I won't take an opinion, if it is or not. Others can say their opinion. |

We have given your offer due consideration, and must respectfully decline. While we concede that the offer, from the Austrian point of view, is generous, the king must understand that for us, the Italian land and Italian people are sacred. We cannot countenance conceding either to a foreign power, even one so well-disposed and blessed with so wise a ruler. |

Others can say their opinion. I think the same too, as Austria-Hungary is one country while our alliance is three, it would have been unfair for Warlord247 so far without the conscriptions, due to the unequal and unbalanced forces between the sides, and nobody had a complaint either, so I haven't intervened so far either. Though, since now Theron of Acragas has returned and the balance between the alliances may naturally change again, I propose that this one in Yugoslavia would be the last, at least for now, since now the forces are more or less equal with the conscriptions made so far, and the return of Italy may change and balance the current situation again. If we don't get the expected results and the game seems too unbalanced again despite the current situation in the future, and if it seems seriously necessary, then it may, of course, be made for some in order to balance the game as long as the amount of the soldiers conscripted doesn't exceed the limits of common sense and all the players agree, but for now, as for this current situation which we are in now, I think that it is enough for now. |

Eugene V. Debs, Kliment Jefremovitš Vorošilov, I'm sorry guys, I didn't realize you thought it was overpowered. The reason I did it was because historically 600,000 Yugoslavian troops were in reserve, but weren't able to be properly called up. I'll go ahead and not count it. Sorry

The reason I did it was because historically 600,000 Yugoslavian troops were in reserve, but weren't able to be properly called up. I'll go ahead and not count it. Sorry It's alright, no problem. Also, it wasn't about being overpowered or something anyway, the thing was that conscription or any other method of gaining new soldiers are not allowed in this RP as the armies are fixed, but because of the reasons I've mentioned earlier, I do think that your actions concerning new soldiers so far are fair and valid, considering the fact that the military force of our alliance was bigger than yours to an extent that was unfair and unbalanced and a 3v1 war would be so too, and the others seemed to think the same as well, and therefore I didn't have a problem with that and didn't intervene in the situation. But, as for now, as I've said, I think that the current situation is now balanced in terms of military and the return of Italy can change the political situation too, so I think there shouldn't be any new conscriptions right now and current armies should remain as they are now unless a new need for this arises (such as a new imbalance between alliances and military forces), if the others agree as well. |

We cannot countenance conceding either to a foreign power, even one so well-disposed and blessed with so wise a ruler. Only for Theron To the Fascismo of Italy,
The concerns of the Italian people are valid, however I ask you to reconsider. My "expansion" thus far has been the reclamation of the Empire's rightful territory, and we have no motivation to expand beyond that.
While we have occupied the full extent of countries we liberated our land from, this has been more to stop uprisings and less for conquest, hence why we were willing to split Romania, and cede large sections of Yugoslavia to you.
The matter can wait for now, as the empire currently has other concerns, but in due time I urge you to think it over.
Sincerely,
Sir Kent, King of Austria-Hungary |
