Holy Roman Empire

Chapter 90 Hope

Flooding Budapest, if it is in later generations, is not a big deal at all, at least Franz has seen news of flooding Budapest several times.

However, if people artificially build dams on the upper Danube and use the power of water to attack Budapest, the consequences will be serious.Budapest is over, but the farmland and cities downstream are also over.

If the local Hungarian people are all supporters of the Revolutionaries, then no need to consider, the Austrian army has already done so.

However, the supporters of the Habsburg dynasty are obviously more than the supporters of the Hungarian Republican government. If the city is flooded, it will become a killing of 800 enemies.

Franz didn't know Kosut's idea. He heard that the city might be flooded, and he knew that Budapest could not keep it.

Thinking empathically, if he stands on the position of the Vienna government, even if the consequences are serious and the price paid is heavy, he will choose to exterminate the Republic of Hungary.

"No, General Henrik-Dempinski. The politicians' ethics is much lower than you think. What can the decaying Austrian government do?

Hundreds of thousands of Hungarian people have been displaced, which is not a big deal in the eyes of the Austrians!"Kusut said seriously

At least in his mind, the net worth of hundreds of thousands of Hungarians is a bargaining chip. If you can win the final victory, this sacrifice can be accepted several times more.

This can be seen in the repression of the workers and peasants movement of the Republican government.Since the establishment of the Republic of Hungary in 1848, more people have been killed in the suppression of the workers and peasants than in the Kingdom of Hungary in the past decade.

This is almost the same age as the bourgeois government has in common.While shouting for freedom and liberating productive forces, on the other hand he raised a butcher knife to the working people.

"Mr. Kosut, if the enemy wants to flood Budapest, everything we do is useless, and our personal power is insignificant in the face of the torrential flood.

I suggest that you prepare the way back now, save the flames of the revolution as much as possible, and continue this sacred cause."Henrik Dempinski frowned

This is also the experience of the Poles, but no setback has been experienced, and the flames of the revolution have not been wiped out.Of course, the wave of pit kills by the Soviets was considered a bad luck.

"If we don't take the initiative to attack, concentrate on killing a blood path, so as not to affect the people in the city and follow the flames of war!" Petofi couldn't help but propose.

As a passionate young man, he could not let the people of the whole city follow the cruel heart of the funeral, but unfortunately he did not count these questions.

Kosut shook his head and said: "The initiative to attack is undoubtedly striking the stone with an egg. Now the enemy is expecting us to take the initiative to send it to the door.

Even if the enemy wants to flood Budapest, after the attack is frustrated, the Vienna government cannot make up its mind immediately. This is our opportunity.

The Venice War has reached a critical moment. The Austrians are still fighting against the Italian state. As long as our allies win the war, the situation will change.

The decaying Austrian government has no courage to fight. When the enemy is in trouble, we will ask the French to mediate, and the revolutionary cause will succeed!"

Obviously, after a long-term failure, Kosut no longer believed that the Hungarians could achieve national independence on their own, but instead placed their hopes on the intervention of international forces.

Henrik Dembinski warned: "Mr. Kosut, from a military perspective, I have to remind you that the hope of the Italian state to win this war is very slim.

Of the four Italian states, only the Kingdom of Sardinia is investing in the bloody battle against Austria. Even if they were lucky enough to overcome Venice, they did not support Hungary."

The allies in Italy are unreliable, and the French are even more unreliable. They are still making revolutions themselves and want to intervene in the Hungarian revolution?

"No, we still have allies. The Habsburg dynasty's feud Ottoman Empire has just completed the system reform, and we can also ask them to intervene in this war!" Kosut said fiercely.

He has made up his mind to cede Transylvania to the Ottoman Empire, as long as Hungary can be independent, it is also acceptable to pay a part of the price.

Since 1792, the Ottoman Empire has been carrying out reforms, from the initial military reforms, to the introduction of technology, to economic reforms, and finally political reforms.

In this era, the Ottoman Empire is still progressing. They have emulated the reforms of the European systems, although they have not yet achieved the goal of prospering the country.

"No, the Ottoman Empire and Hungary have centuries of blood feuds. Cooperating with them will undoubtedly lead the wolf into the room!" Petofi hurriedly opposed.

Opening the Hungarian history book, the battle with the Ottoman Empire occupies almost half of the content. Both sides have been dead for hundreds of years, and now the cooperation with the Ottoman Empire is simply to seek a hide with the tiger.

Moreover, the hatred accumulated by the people can not be controlled by them. The religious belief is a Kaner that cannot be crossed. If the Hungarian soldiers and the Ottoman army jointly fight, it is estimated that the battle has not started yet.

Kosut resolutely stated: "There is nothing to sacrifice for the great cause of revolution. The Ottoman Empire is indeed our enemy, but our position is consistent in dealing with Austria.

As long as Hungary can gain independence, we can wait for the future to solve other problems.At that time, the British, the French and even the whole of Europe will be our allies!"

...

The plan can't keep up with the changes quickly, and just as Cosout was preparing to unite with the Ottoman Empire, the Venice battlefield changed again.

The term "three-minute heat" is a good description of the Italians, and their fighting spirit has been wiped out by several days of fighting.

The key point on the battlefield was the focus of the battle of Trento. Marshal Bardolio ordered three days to capture Trento. As a result, three days passed and three more days passed. Trento was still Trento in Austria.

The artillery had reached the front line and still had no eggs.Even during this period, Marshal Bardolio dispatched a divisional reinforcement, but still made no progress.

After the officers and soldiers exchanged their life-saving experiences, the casualty rate of the Sardinian army fell sharply, and the number of casualties per day was controlled within three figures.

Originally, the number of casualties fell, which should be a good thing, but the problem is that the reduction of casualties is based on the premise that the soldiers passively avoid war, which is not wonderful.
