Between 1906 and 1913 Austria-Hungary spent around 190,8 million British Pound on her military and 37,8 million British Pound on her navy.
What if Austria-Hungary spent significantly more? Let's raise the military budget by 50% to 286,2 million British Pound and the naval budget by 30% to 49,1 million British Pound. For comparison, the French spent 299,2 million British Pound on their military, while the Italians spent 63,2 million British Pound on their navy.
