The Austro-Hungarian Empire has fallen into a vicious cycle militarily, which is not a problem of its economy, but a political issue. The East African Navy feels this most deeply. In collaboration with the Austro-Hungarian Empire, it is obvious that the quality of their personnel is seriously declining, and their equipment upgrade speed cannot keep up with East Africa. The East African Navy simply hasn't expanded its scale, while the Austro-Hungarian Navy is sluggishly moving forward on the spot.
In this situation, Germany's position in Europe is really not optimistic. Without Italy, the turncoat, and with the Austro-Hungarian military dragging its feet, even if Germany wants to start a war as in the previous world, it must first find the right allies. From the current perspective, whether the original historical Allies can be formed is uncertain.
