88 Budapest Attack and Defense War-Undercurrent

The church in Austria is not a soft persimmon. Although it has now fallen, the church has colluded with the local aristocracy. The upper levels of the church are basically the branches of the noble children.

That's why Franz didn't rush to start the church.The food should be eaten bit by bit, and the enemies should be killed one by one. It would be better to be able to turn the enemy into friends.

There is no doubt that the members of the church in Austria are not worth him to win. The rich oil of these people has hindered the development of Austrian society and is a true reactionary.

Prime Minister Felix said: "His Royal Highness, it is best to postpone the affairs of the church. Not long ago, the papal kingdom changed, and the Pope Pius IX exiled Naples, and he has rescued us.

The Cabinet decided to speed up the rebellion, defeat the Kingdom of Sardinia, and then send troops to the Papal State to help Pius IX take power!"

Obviously, the cabinet government is not a fool, knowing that the church cannot be rash.Since the Middle Ages, the theocracy has been playing against the royal power. Now the secular royal power has the upper hand, but the divine power is still not to be underestimated.

It ’s definitely not a good choice to do it directly with them.But these clerics are not without enemies, and the Austrian Catholic Church is still under the leadership of the Holy See.

Now that the papacy has changed, Austria needs a helping hand.After the event, can Asylum IX still fail to retaliate?

Franz nodded with satisfaction, and thought to himself: Sure enough, this group of old foxes in politics is not a fuel-efficient lamp, and it is accurate to pinch on the timing.

The Pope was overwhelmed, and he did not hesitate to betray the Austrian church for his own benefit.With the Pope ’s top tank, the pressure they have to bear is much smaller.

...

With the order of the Vienna government, the offensive and defensive in Budapest started.

Now Lieutenant General Julius has no worries. According to the plan of the Vienna government, in the future division of administrative districts, Budapest is already dispensable. There is no need to worry about the city being destroyed by the war.

Budapest is actually formed by the merger of two cities, Buda and Pest. As early as the Middle Ages, Pest became the capital of Hungary, and Buda was just a city separated from Pest.

When referring to the two cities, everyone is usually connected, Budapest or Psbda.

After the establishment of the Republic of Hungary, the two cities were merged. After the war, they will naturally be split and will belong to the two provinces.

"Your Excellency, the War Department has issued a siege order, asking us to take Budapest as soon as possible. What is your opinion?" Lieutenant General Julius asked.

The Bohemian Legion and the Croatian Legion complement each other. This attack on Budapest is only a temporarily organized joint command. Julius must consider the opinions of Governor Josep Jeláčić.

"His Commander, the Hungarian chaotic party is already a worm in the urn. Overcoming Budapest is not a problem. The key is whether we can wipe out the chaotic party!

At this time, the Transylvanian Legion had arrived along the Tisza River, and the Austrian Legion was also marching along the Danube. Outside our encirclement, a larger encirclement was forming.

The only way for these chaotic parties is to escape to the Ottoman Empire.The Sudanese government began major reforms as early as 1839. They have been hostile to the empire for a long time, and there is a high possibility of keeping these chaotic parties.

If they are allowed to join forces, this will be very detrimental to the future rule of the empire in Hungary.Therefore, whether the enemy can be wiped out is the key to this war!"

Governor Josep Jeláčić is a military politician, and he sees the problem more politically.In the long run, it is more meaningful to exterminate the Hungarian Revolutionary Party than to conquer Budapest.

Lieutenant General Julius said with a bitter smile: "This is difficult to achieve. The Revolutionaries are not as brave as they boast. Once the momentum is wrong, they run faster than the rabbit.

It is estimated that now they are ready to go back. When we start the Budapest siege, they will drive away. Unless they can be blocked in the city, they cannot be destroyed."

As a loyal minister of the Habsburg family, Julius was very hostile to the Revolutionaries, and he did not mind hanging them all if possible.

Franz let him serve as commander-in-chief, the main purpose of which was to kill him and kill all the criminals involved or suspected of participating in the rebellion.

Regardless of whether the rebels could be wiped out, on May 24, 1848, the Austrian army launched the siege of Budapest. In order to wipe out the head of the Revolutionary Party, Julius even chose the military undesirable siege.

The contact with the outside world of the Hungarian Republic was completely cut off, Budapest has become an isolated city, perhaps because it has let go of it, and the Austrian army has unscrupulously vented the artillery to the city.

Budapest

Since the sound of the siege artillery sounded, this ancient city has become noisy. The main battles and the factions have kept arguing. Some people who are attentive to the sky are looking for a way out.

"Count Shemir, the Revolutionaries are still unwilling to compromise. What should we do now?" Gorgue asked with a headache.

"General Gorga, how many of the National Self-Defense Forces listen to our command?" Shemir asked with concern.

"Kosut has begun to doubt us. He let Bem take over my military authority half a month ago. Now he has invited Polish star Henrik Dembinski to take charge of the city defense.

If I do it now, there are 13,000 troops I can command, but these people are still scattered among the troops and cannot be concentrated!"Gorgue answered awkwardly

"waste!"

This was Shemir ’s first reaction. As the army minister of the interim government, there was no reliable army in his hands.

More than 13,000 people?This is obviously fooling people, if they still have so many heirlooms in their hands, they have already turned over with the revolutionaries.

You know, the Gorga of the Hungarian National Self-Defense Force was involved in the formation of one hand. As a member of the bourgeois aristocracy, they could stop a lot of people.

Up to now, it has been aerialized by the Revolutionaries. In addition to using "waste" to describe, Shemir can never think of a better term.

"General Gorgai, I am not asking how many people are inclined to us, but rather how many people you can use without immediate attention from the outside world, right away, not how many troops you can concentrate!" Shemir explained helplessly

"Without attracting the attention of the outside world, at most only 500 people can be used." Gorgue replied frowning.
