Can the new emperor find a remedy for the chronic instability of the Empire? We will see. Here's the full text of the event: "Recognizing the growing pressures of nationalism among the many ethnic groups within Austria-Hungary, Karl intended to stabilize the empire by replacing Austro-Hungarian dualism with a Triple Monarchy in which the empire's Slavs would be given an equal voice in government. While such radical reforms might have saved the empire, Hungary and those with vested interests in the existing structure were profoundly hostile to the idea. Serbian nationalists saw the move as a threat to their desired secession and the formation of a greater Serbia. Ignoring pleas for caution from his advisors Karl initiated his reforms, transforming the Dual Monarchy of Austria-Hungary and making the Slavic lands a bulwark against foreign expansionism."

This time I was successful in influencing China, but it was not enough to trigger a shift in alignment. There is also a chance that Japan might invade if China goes pro-Central Powers.

In the West, I aim to strike both the British and the French by targeting Arras for the Grand Offensive. For this aim, the 1st Army is being transferred from the Paris frontier, leaving that sector to the 3rd Army. Despite the rain, I intend to attack this turn; I want the initial heavy combat concluded before the Grand Offensive in the East begins.

As Germany pivots West, Austria-Hungary is also required to conduct a Grand Offensive to avoid a loss of National Will. You can see the target area on the map. The 5th Army is currently being transferred from Romania, as I believe the forces remaining there will be sufficient to knock the latter out of the war. Three German armies will support the Austrian drive, with the offensive likely commencing in June once the 5th Army is in position.
