The chaotic international situation did not affect the outbreak of the war in Central Asia. As the arms race ended, the British also let loose.
On March 26, 1888, with an order from Governor Lytton, two India Colonial Divisions launched an attack on the Afghan Region, marking the beginning of the Great Central Asian War.
In the Vienna Palace, upon receiving the news of the war in Afghanistan, Franz once again became an onlooker.
There was no need to worry, one could tell by the way the British fought that the bureaucrats in London didn't take Afghanistan seriously at all.
The two India Colonial Divisions, seemingly imposing, were actually a rabble.
In terms of real combat power, they probably weren't even a match for two main battalions of the British Army. Such troops could barely maintain peace; on the battlefield, they could only compete with the enemy in who was worse.
Franz asked, "Have the weapons and equipment to aid the Afghans been delivered?"
