The two main war factions in the Austro-Hungarian Empire were Archduke Ferdinand and Chief of Staff Conrad, who was promoted by Archduke Ferdinand.
After the assassination of Archduke Ferdinand, Conrad thought he was the only one in the war faction, but unexpectedly, the Foreign Minister, who previously did not advocate war, suddenly became a war proponent. This was good news for the war faction and all the officials behind them.
Foreign Secretary Berchtold also served as the Austrian Chancellor, and like Prime Minister Ticha of Hungary, he held a very high position within the Austro-Hungarian Empire government.
If there was someone who could suppress Prime Minister Ticha of Hungary, it would definitely be Berchtold, who served as the Austrian Prime Minister.
"Chief of Staff Conrad is right. We should not let the mastermind behind the scenes go unpunished. We must impose sanctions to demonstrate the majesty of our empire."
