Holy Roman Empire

Chapter 73 Hungary, lacking money

Leopold sneered and asked, "So it turns out, so what are we doing here today? Is it just for everyone to listen to a speech?"

I admit that Mr. Kosut's speech was very exciting, but everyone is tired of this kind of speech. Would you like to change a trick?"

Kosut's face was so horrible and he couldn't say that he was worried about you being unreliable. He would be a traitor at any time. Now the Austrian government has confiscated your land. Everyone is on a boat.

Everyone knows these things well. How do you get along if you break the window paper?

Don't look at these big nobles who seem to have suffered heavy losses and serious injuries. They thought that they were really tigers and can be bullied by dogs. In fact, their strength is not weak at all.

"Your Excellency, enough!"

"Austria has raised the butcher's knife. Now we need solidarity. If you want to be held accountable, I can resign.

Everyone, who thinks he has the ability to lead the Republic of Hungary out of trouble, I can give up the position of president and let more capable people take over!"

In anger, Kosut simply bet on the pick.All the people present changed their faces. At this time, the President of the Hungarian Republic was not good, at least the Duke of Leopold was not interested.

Everyone knows that the president of the Hungarian Republic is not easy to do. Historically, when the Austrian government decided to suppress it by force, the Hungarian government closed down, and then the Revolutionary Party led by Kosut took power.

Under the butterfly effect of Franz, the current situation in the Republic of Hungary is even worse. No one wants to be the first bird before Kosut becomes the head of state.

Because the support rate is too low, Kosut ’s prestige in the government is not high, and many nobles do not take him for granted.

Looks like a childish anger, is this not a kind of resistance of Kosut?

No matter how many shortcomings Kosut has and how naive the political proposition, he is the founder of the Hungarian nation.

Seeing that the momentum was not right, another noble representative, Lord Marquis Loki stood up and changed the subject.

"Okay, let's stop mentioning the past. Let's think about how to cope with the current situation and make a decision with everyone!"

In the "war of war", there is no doubt that the revolutionary party headed by Kosut is the main war party. Most of these people are idealists and young college students, while the weak nobles and capitalists are the main war party.

Kosut said sullenly: "Does this still need to be considered? The Vienna government is starting to split Hungary, and even if we can reach agreement with Austria, Hungary will have less than 35 percent of the territory, less than 100 Forty percent of the population.

If such Hungary, if we stay in Austria, we can't even maintain our current status, do we just watch the Austrians exploit us every day?"

Kosut also knew that he was too naive at first, because of the opposition of the nobles, the land problem was not solved, and because of the opposition of the emerging capitalists, the national problem was not solved.

That ’s right, the poor national policy of the Hungarian Republic was born because the emerging bourgeoisie was worried about competition.

Although no Croatian, Romanian, or Slovak, they still have no strength to compete with them.

But once they were given equal rights in politics, this kind of competition would soon arise. The Republic of Hungary is too small to accommodate so much competition, and they had to suppress their opponents in advance.

This has been confirmed in the Austrian Empire, because of its political advantages, almost all the industry in the country is in the hands of the Germans, and Hungarian capitalists survived on tariffs and local protectionism.

Now it's their turn to be the masters, so naturally they have to follow suit. After all, no capitalist can refuse this temptation, and even they have done it even more.

Driven by interests, extreme nationalism has become the mainstream ideology of Hungary, which has made other ethnic minorities in the country very dissatisfied. After the Vienna government threw an olive branch, everyone decisively rebelled.

Kosut ’s words awakened the emerging bourgeoisie. For their own benefit and head, they had to support the government and the Austrians in the war. Only by winning them could they get everything they wanted.

Although the probability of winning is very low, but they have already embarked on the ship, the Vienna government may open up the aristocratic network, but there is no reason to be sympathetic to the capitalists.

It is the same in ancient and modern China and abroad. The concept of "no business and no rape" has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Killing a profiteer is absolutely politically correct.

Unfortunately, as the earliest capitalists, they are black and can no longer be hacked. They are all real cases of unscrupulous capitalists in the history books. Not only can they get a fortune, but they can also buy a wave of popular hearts.

"Mr. Kosut, Hungary is now enemies on all sides. How should we fight this war?" Marquis Luo Qi asked with concern.

There is no doubt that Marquis de Roche was intentional.As the great aristocrat of Hungary, the Marquis of Roche was not afraid of the liquidation of the Vienna government.

As long as the Habsburg family still controls the rights of Austria, it is impossible to kill the big nobles, which is a benefit of many relatives.

There is no pressure to survive, the big nobles think differently from the capitalists, their main purpose is to stop losses.

After that, Marquis Roche opened the map already prepared. Hungary was sandwiched between Russia, Ottoman and Austria, and the location was clearly marked.

There is no doubt that Hungary is surrounded by the enemy.Russia and Austria are allies, and the tsarist government has publicly announced that it will help Austria and Prussia suppress the revolution, not just the enemy but also the enemy.

Can't they always ask for the good neighbor Ottoman Empire next door?If they want to fight side by side with the Ottomans, it is estimated that the Austrians will not be used to fight, they will fight first.

"Now the enemy is strong and we are weak, but the enemy is not without weakness. Now the Austrian government is still fighting against the Italian state. This is our opportunity." Kosut said a plan that he thought was reasonable.

That's right, in theory, this is indeed an opportunity, the simplest one by one in the military.

However, Duke Leopold shook his head and sighed, "Mr. Cosout, this is not militaryly feasible, the enemy is not a fool, they cannot leave us so much time to break down one by one . "

Kosut smiled: "His Duke, as long as we have enough troops, we can drag the enemy from other directions.

Austria is very strong and fragile. As long as we win a victory, it will cause a chain reaction and the climax of the revolution will erupt again!"

Everyone understands that Kosut has gone around in such a big circle, still for money!
